Episode 89
Jin Cheon-hee watched the two siblings bickering with a happy expression. Namgoong Woon said.
“by the way. You have such strange eyes. “It’s so strange to see myself.”
“What eyes do you mean?”
“It’s like a grandfather looking at his grandchildren.”
Sharp.
Jin Cheonhee changed her expression.
“I have no memory of my family. “I guess that’s why I got jealous.”
“…I guess something like that.”
It looks like they decided to skip it.
Jeomsoi put down the food one by one. Jin Cheon-hee smiled at the fragrant smell.
“Would you like a glass of Xiaohongju?”
It doesn’t matter if Namgoongwoon is in his early 20s, but in this era, if you look like Jin Cheonhee, you’re going to get married, so it’s not that weird if you drink.
But Jin Cheonhee waved his hand.
“I won’t drink until I have a long way to go.”
When Jin Cheon-hee refused, he ate it with regret.
“I guess I’ll have to do it alone. Even a bottle of Jeomsoy Sohongju!”
On the outside, he is a noble Confucius.
Everything from the embroidered silk sleeves to the jade headdress seemed to have been made by renowned craftsmen.
Add to that the sad look in his eyes, and it seemed like he had never encountered rough and difficult work in his life.
Even the sword armor worn around his waist had patterns engraved on it.
It is an outfit that seems more appropriate to be given a name such as Pungryu Gongja or Soso Gongja rather than the nickname Changryonggeom of the Namgung family.
‘You look like you play better than I saw in the novel.’
It’s hard to believe that this kind of person is the future Three Swords of the World. If only he had had a little more time, he would have become the best sword in the world.
He took the Sohongju and poured it.
“I never thought we would meet like this while on a cruise. “You’re quite famous these days.”
“Me?”
“okay. They created a medicine to cure syphilis, right? “I heard that not only syphilis but also other incurable diseases are being cured with that medicine.”
The most famous disease treated with penicillin is syphilis. But that was only a small part of what penicillin could do.
It is effective against sepsis and scarlet fever, and is being tested against numerous diseases such as meningitis.
It is also effective against tetanus, but due to its risk, verification of this aspect is still ongoing. However, the prevailing opinion within the council was that it was better than cutting off the arm.
In addition, it was proven to be effective in treating open fractures by Jin Cheon-hee personally curing Yuranghu.
Jin Cheon-hee just smiled faintly at those words.
“They say there are no secrets in Kangho….”
“It’s natural that people in our family naturally know that much. Would it be possible to hide such achievements? But I’m curious why it hasn’t been announced yet. “For some reason?”
Namgoongun’s eyes disappeared from the old-fashioned, gangster-like look from before.
‘also. ‘Is this because he is worthy of being the Three Swords of the World?’
“A drug must be sufficiently verified. “It is clearly effective against many incurable diseases such as syphilis, but we do not know what side effects it may have, so we plan to officially announce it after verifying all of them.”
“Oh… you’re very cautious, aren’t you?”
“Isn’t it medicine? “People’s lives are at stake.”
At Jin Cheon-hee’s words, Namgoongun nods his head and Namgoongyeon stares at him. Although that gaze was burdensome, Jin Cheonhee did not look away.
“As expected… the rumors were not in vain. “Maybe that’s why this happened.”
“What about this?”
“I’m talking about Hao Mun.”
Namgoongun pours himself a glass of alcohol.
“When I heard the story about Hao Wen, I thought that people live very complicated lives. “They really have no intention of killing you.”
He drank alcohol and Jin Cheon-hee drank tea.
“It’s a bit shocking to me, though.”
“If they really wanted to kill me, they would have called for 5,000 nyang instead of 1,000 nyang, right? Of course, 1,000 nyang of gold is not a small amount of money. However, if it is a large amount of money that is enough to incur the hatred of the Open Party and the White House… well, let’s come. “At least it’s not enough money to move the big guys.”
“….”
“You don’t look surprised.”
“I’ve already dealt with one small child.”
“Hahaha! It was like that too. It’s quite a lot of money for small children, so it’s enough to bother them. In other words, for Hao Moon, it’s just money to save face.”
Then he takes a swig of his drink.
“Wow… the alcohol tastes good. good. So it doesn’t look like he’s hurt, but he seems to be doing pretty well, right? Or did you help in the opening?”
“It’s both.”
“Hmm… Looking at the way you pray, it seems like humility. “Well, whatever it is, it doesn’t look like you’re in much danger.”
“I really have a question…”
“What?”
“We may have met by chance, but is the reason you are eating and talking like this to protect me?”
Namgoongun opens his eyes wide. Nangungyeon was still staring. She was drinking tea like Jin Cheon-hee.
“Hahaha! This is true. Aren’t you a friend who has no sense at all? that’s right. I was trying to protect you. I heard there aren’t many open islands around here. Wouldn’t it be great if we took this opportunity to leave a debt on Baekrin’s Pavilion? Well… of course, there are some things I like about you.”
He holds up a bottle of alcohol. Then he smiled softly and tried to pour Jin Cheonhee a drink.
When Jin Cheon-hee took out the teacup, he looked embarrassed.
“Are you really going to let me drink this alone?”
“Whatever you say, I have no idea.”
“There is no style.”
“Because it’s necessary.”
“Still, I’ve prepared the ferry for you, so I guess you could have a drink?”
“By boat?”
“I found the fastest boat in the area. It is not a boat that comes and goes regularly, but a boat that we can move privately within our house. “I’ve filled the workers with trustworthy people, so there’s nothing to worry about.”
It wasn’t just about finding a ship.
“I don’t think it’s at the level of simply imposing a debt on Baekrin Uigak.”
Namgoong Woon said.
“Didn’t you save Hao Mun Dao before? This is the thing that made Hao Wen put a vague bounty on him now. “The fig flower you saved back then is my old friend.”
When Jin Cheon-hee stared at him at the word friend, he shook his head.
“haha. It’s not the kind of relationship that Brother Jin thinks it is. “He just helped me when I was having a hard time when I was young.”
The education of the Namgung family was harsh. Moreover, the pressure felt by Namgung Un, who had shown martial talent early on, was beyond imagination.
The eldest son of the main family.
That’s also a genius talent.
Since he was also human, he must have had a difficult time as a child.
“It’s inevitable that you don’t believe it.”
At those words, Jin Cheonhee shook his head seriously.
“believe.”
“hmm? “It doesn’t seem like I’m saying this out of politeness, but rather from the heart.”
“That’s kind of what it’s like.”
Jin Cheon-hee returned exactly what Namgung-un had said earlier.
“Hahaha. “You got a kick out of it.”
Still, it was right to believe it. If it were Jeong-in’s personality that I read about in the book, I would have said he was Jeong-in.
Why would you criticize a friend like this because you really are a friend?
At that time, Namgoongyeon spoke with difficulty.
“Where are you going by boat, So Sohyeop?”
This alone would have required great courage from her.
“I’m going to Tangshan next to Nanjing.”
“You’re going down so far…”
Have you already calculated the distance from here to Tangshan? Namgoong Woon said.
“It seems like Yeon really likes you when she talks so much… Ah, yay! Yuna! “Even if you tell me to stop pinching you.”
With a bright red face, Namgoongyeon pinched Namgoongun’s side again.
Namgoongun teased and criticized his younger brother.
Jin Cheon-hee picked up the small dragon bag with chopsticks and popped it into her mouth.
‘It’s really delicious.’
The same was true for raw fish and meat.
‘I understand why he offered me alcohol.’
These were foods that were better suited as a snack rather than a meal. Jin Cheon-hee raised her teacup.
“Please pour me a drink here.”
“alcohol?”
“No, it’s leaf tea. Instead, this is also fate, so I will give you a pulse.”
“Is there a need to go this far just to avoid getting drunk?”
Instead of answering, Jin Cheonhee just smiled.
Namgoongun answered while looking at that face.
“You are a rather strange person.”
“I agree.”
“Then, let me ask for your pulse first from my younger brother.”
Jin Cheon-hee grabbed Nam Gung-yeon’s wrist and took a pulse. Jin-ki penetrated into her and revealed various information to Jin Cheon-hee.
‘Well, there’s no major problem with my health, and I think the reason my pulse is fast is because I’m nervous. As expected from the Namgung family, the constitution itself is quite boneless. He has good energy and doesn’t seem to neglect his regular martial arts training.’
After taking the pulse, I said it as it was.
“It’s normal. “I’m fine other than my body feeling a little tense.”
“Our Yeon is naturally nervous. “Hey Yuna!”
This time it’s Namgoong Woon.
Jin Cheon-hee looked at Jin Mac for a while and then tilted his head.
“wait a minute.”
He raised his body and pressed Namgoongun’s lower abdomen, releasing his energy again. Namgoongun was taken aback by the unexpected action.
Jin Cheon-hee finally opened her eyes and asked.
“Have you ever said that your lower back hurts when you bend over these days?”
“It’s not often, but there are times when I feel it…?”
“It’s a urinary stone.”
It was the name of King Namgung-un’s illness. Namgungwoon asked, embarrassed.
“Urinary stones? “What is that?”
“Hmm…”
Jin Cheonhee was lost in thought for a moment. This world is an era of imbalanced information. Urinary stones are quite famous in modern society, but in this world, it was natural that only doctors knew about them.
“Do you know about the bladder?”
“Are you sure you mean pee pee?”
“you’re right. To put it roughly, you can think of it as a rock forming somewhere in it or on the road around it.”
“rock?”
Namgoongwoon looks embarrassed.
“Urine is the discharge of waste products from the body as a liquid, but sometimes those waste materials collect little by little inside and harden like a stone, growing bigger. Right now, it’s at the edge of the bladder, but if it tries to come out with the urine…”
“What if?”
“I feel the pain of tearing my flesh apart. It’s not immediately life-threatening, but it will be extremely painful. Well, if it gets worse, you could die.”
In the past, urinary stones were a deadly disease.
It is also a disease that causes extreme pain and death.
At the time, the cause was unknown, so it could be said to be a more frightening disease.
Namgoongun’s expression turned pale.
“Well… then how is the treatment…?”
“It is not an emergency, so please come to the hospital at a later date.”
“So you’re saying there won’t be treatment right away?”
“Because it’s not an emergency. Judging by its size, it doesn’t look like the pain will start right away. Roughly… if it doesn’t pass out through urine, I think it will start to hurt like hell after a month or two. So, please come to Uigak until then. You must come to the main office, not the branches. “Other than me, only Master can cure you.”
Jin Cheon-hee answered firmly.
