Episode 135. I of the Yellow Turbans (2)
“It’s not that I’m sick, it’s because the lady here is sick.”
“Is there anyone in line who is not sick?”
As the man in the front row coldly shot at him, the people in front of him turned their heads and exchanged cold eyes as if agreeing.
Jegalgeun couldn’t ejaculate any more.
“Aww… you are so sick! Hehehehe…”
Soon-ssi began to cry.
As she cried, the man who had been giving her cold eyes a moment ago took a step aside, perhaps embarrassed.
“Kuhmm I think I’m a little less sick… please stand forward.”
As the man backed away, the woman in front of him with the child on her back scratched her head for a moment before stepping aside.
In fact, most of the people who came to this place were trying to get treatment because it was free, so few people came to get treatment because they were really sick.
A few people got out of the way, so Jegalgeun was able to support the woman and move forward.
But not everyone was very sick.
There was a woman sitting down with a frown on her face, frowning as much as the woman Jegalgeun supported, but when she saw her, the words to yield to Jegalgeun didn’t come out of her mouth, and the lady couldn’t bear to ejaculate.
Mr. Sun, the owner of the field, continued to feel pain as if his intestines were being cut, and gradually even the sky began to look yellow.
‘Isn’t this how I’m going to die?’
Sun-ssi was terrified.
I instinctively sensed that the pain in my stomach was unusual. It wasn’t the usual level of diarrhea or upset stomach.
“uh! Are you by any chance?”
At that time, Mr. Sun seemed to be an urgent patient, but the doctor approached and looked at Zhuge Liang next to Zhuge Geun and pretended to know.
Zhuge Liang actually recognized the fireman from a distance, but he couldn’t bear to know it.
If your brother has already received concessions from several people, and he pretends to know the lawmaker and goes forward, isn’t it like treating those who have waited so far as fools?
“I haven’t seen you in a long time. Hwata. Someone said that they would treat you for free, and it turned out that you were a doctor.”
When Zhuge Liang greeted him, Jegalgeun next to him made a puzzled expression.
“Who are you?”
“Ah… older brother, why is that… the councilor who gave us the money to buy our house?”
“ah! You were a benefactor. I’m sorry I don’t know. I am called Liang Yi’s Hyung-geun.”
As Jegalgeun bowed his head, the painter who had come and was diagnosing Soon-ssi nodded his head.
“Oh, Ryang-i’s older brother. nice to meet. I am a fireman.”
The painter’s eyes twinkled even as he looked at Jegalgeun.
Jegalgeun was later selected by Son Kwon, became a merchant and played an active role, and later became a left general and a general who commanded the entire army of Oh.
If the younger brother Zhuge Liang was a genius who excelled only in strategy and tactics, the older brother Zhuge Geun was an all-weather genius who excelled not only in strategy and tactics but also in martial arts.
‘My younger brother is the chancellor of the country of Shu, and my older brother is the general of the country of Oh. They are brothers who shine like stars in a truly chaotic world.’
“Thank you for your great help, we were able to live comfortably…”
“I need to treat this lady now, so let’s have a drink in the evening and relax after a long time.”
“Oh~. yes. All right.”
Jegalgeun took a step aside as the painter focused on the treatment of Mrs. Soon.
“Hmm~. This is a freak disease… ma’am.”
“yes! You say I have a psychiatric illness? Oh, and even the gods of heaven and earth are indifferent to me already…”
When Sun-ssi heard the word “frenzy,” she began to sing like a person who would soon die.
“You have to cut out the rotten intestines in your stomach to live. What will you do?”
“How do you cut out the rotten intestines in your stomach? Are you telling me to die right now?”
“If you pick only the rotten intestines and cut them out well, you can live without dying.”
“No, how do you cut out rotten intestines?”
“Right now, in the woman’s stomach…”
The painter persuaded Mrs. Sun to perform the operation, but she did not believe and did not listen.
Pyeonseon, who went out to the street when he didn’t listen even after a long explanation, returned.
“Ajumma, do you know Seongsu Shinui?”
“Sacred reception! know. Of course I didn’t know, but I was going to go there right now.”
“He is my father. My father can’t cure a terminal illness. Fantastic disease can only be cured by my teacher, Hwata, who is here in Jungwon.”
At that time, some of the people around them who heard the conversation between the two began to whisper.
“Oh, come to think of it, you are the daughter of Seongsu-sinnim. Somehow, she was a beauty…”
Only then did I recognize the line, and several people began to cringe.
Being close to her hometown, there were people who remembered her.
“I heard that you are learning medicine from a doctor who healed a disease that even the palace doctors couldn’t cure… Then, this person must be the person who is said to be the doctor of the world.”
“Hehe, it’s not unusual for me to sleep.”
“…..”
The whispers of the people were heard even in Sunssi’s ears. And it was also heard by Soon’s husband, who had just arrived.
Soon-ssi and her husband insisted on getting surgery from the painter right away.
“All right. The operation is not immediate, and a student will bring you medicine a little later. You can eat it, sleep overnight, and come back tomorrow morning. Then we’ll do the surgery. The medicine that the disciple will bring has the effect of emptying the inside, so you must not eat from now on…”
The painter gave a short sigh while explaining about Gongha-tang and fasting.
‘This is why he’s so desperate to make his name known.’
The painter suddenly remembered that while he was in Chohyeon or Donguhyeon, there was no need for persuasion to perform surgery like now.
‘That person who healed half of Taewi Hwang-wan, who even the court doctors couldn’t fix…’
Jegalgeun was looking at the painter with new eyes.
I thought he was just a grateful benefactor, but I thought the rumors were so young.
Thanks to the people he met, Jegalgeun heard more rumors than the average person.
‘I thought the rumors were just inflated, but…..’
There were many things that were hard to believe in the rumors of Congressman Hwata. From curing round endemic disease to curing round tetanus. There were even rumors that he had cured thousands of plagues at once.
It was difficult to confirm the authenticity because everyone was talking about
the stories they had heard.
Jegalgeun missed the painter so much.
* * *
“Haha, you are using that money to buy land and farm… Geun, are you preparing for public office?”
In the evening, after treating the patient, the painter went to an inn near the ferry with the Zhuge brothers to have dinner with accompaniments.
When Jegalgeun learned that the painter was two years older than him, he immediately changed his title from benefactor to elder brother.
“At first, when Liang Yi received the money bag from his older brother, he was very angry… but in fact, since we are so poor, I also thought it was fortunate inside.”
“If Liang hadn’t held out the book for treatment, I wouldn’t have thought of giving it either.”
“I heard that my older brother was once a nobleman who was on the decline. Anyway, the money you gave me is really well spent. If I become capable in the future, I will surely repay you tenfold, no, a hundredfold.”
As Jegalgeun and Zhuge Liang bowed their heads deeply toward the fireman, the younger Jegalgyun and younger sister who were beside them also bowed their heads as well.
“Don’t repay me, but you too, when you have a chance, do to others. After all, human affairs go round and round. Wouldn’t that be much better than paying me back? I will take more pleasure in it.”
“I will live without forgetting your teachings.”
“Haha, the food is cold. Come on, eat.”
“yes.”
Jegalgeun ate the food, and after a while opened his mouth again.
“Brother, but can you really cure Mrs. Sun’s illness?”
“The legislator does not make any guarantees about the patient. But since it’s you, let me tell you something special. If there is not a very big accident, it will be easily fixed.”
“Didn’t you say you would cut out the rotten intestines in your stomach? But is it easy to fix?”
“It’s not easy… but that’s not too difficult for me.”
“Oh~. Come to think of it, rumors say that your older brother fixed the violation of Emperor Hwang Wan… Are you sure?”
“Did you hear that rumor?”
“Did you really fix the violation?”
When the painter nodded, Zhuge Gyun exclaimed.
“The violation that even the court doctors couldn’t fix… that’s great.”
“Fortunately, it wasn’t that difficult since it was early days. If half had progressed too far, I wouldn’t have been able to fix it.”
“Hey there brother. I’m so curious… Can you please let my brother see Mrs. Soon’s surgery to remove the rotten intestines tomorrow?”
“Surgery?”
The fireman hesitated for a moment, then shook his head resolutely.
“That doesn’t work.”
“yes! I really want to see it…”
“You can satisfy your curiosity by looking at it, but the person involved in the operation is showing the intestines in the stomach to others. Unless you are a member of Congress, there is a line you must not cross unless you are a member of Congress.”
gulp.
Jegalgeun seemed surprised for a moment at the painter’s resoluteness, as if cutting with a knife, but then nodded.
“I was arrogant about reading a few medical books. sorry.”
When Jegalgeun nodded, a small smile appeared on the painter’s lips.
‘Looking at it now, it seems so naive… This kind of guy later becomes a general commanding the entire army of Oh Nara. No one knows how true people will change in the future.’
* * *
As the painter ordered, Mr. Sun took the medicine, emptied his stomach, and then fasted and had breakfast.
“Can I really live?”
“Don’t worry, it’s not a big surgery. After a good night’s sleep, you will be able to see the rotten intestines in your stomach.”
The painter circumspectively said that Sun’s illness was appendicitis, but since he wouldn’t know even if he explained it anyway, it was just rotten intestines.
After speaking, the painter glanced at Zhuge Geun and Zhuge Liang, who were waiting outside the room.
‘As expected, those great great men are no different from other people when they are young. But soon it will shine like a star in the sky.’
“Boa.”
“Your master.”
“I have to start the operation now, so bring the lights.”
“yes.”
The painter gave Aunt Sun an anesthetic and waited until she passed out to prepare for the operation.
As Mrs. Soon passed out, the fireman looked at Pyeonseon, who was preparing to assist him.
‘Now I’m going to have to let my students do open surgery. There will be chaotic times ahead and wars will break out in many places…’ It
still feels early, but considering the chaotic times to come, I couldn’t put it off any longer.
“Sunah.”
“Your master.”
“I have seen many surgeries for appendicitis, so you should try it today.”
“yes! My me?”
Pyeonseon’s eyes widened in an instant, and Obo and Buna, who were next to them, opened their mouths.
Until now, the painter had practiced this and that and taught me a lot, but he had never allowed me to do an open surgery.
“Why can’t you?”
The painter asked, moving his gaze from Pyeonseon to Obo.
Pyeonseon saw that gaze and realized that if he said he couldn’t do it, Ohbo’s turn would pass.
“Ha you can.”
