Episode 136. Crisis in Don Gu-hyeon (1)
After the painter explained the patient’s condition and the surgical procedure once again, Pyeon-seon bowed his head deeply and accepted the surgical knife.
“thank you.”
“A single mistake can kill or save a person. Be mindful.”
“yes.”
When he went to the position where the painter assisted, Pyeon-seon took a deep breath and calmed himself down.
‘Even though it’s sudden… I thought I’d do it someday and I’ve been working hard until now. let’s not tremble I will definitely succeed in this operation.’
Pyeonseon opened her eyes, which had been closed for a moment, and looked at the fireman and the two brothers.
“Then let’s begin.”
In no time at all, the line of sight had changed.
The painter nodded, and Pyeonseon drew the knife along the line drawn on Mrs. Sun’s belly.
Obo’s eyes were mixed as he watched Pyeonseon draw a surgical knife.
‘I thought I would get the first surgery, but…’
Knowing that Pyeon-seon had better medical skills and knowledge than himself, he tried harder than anyone else to not be pushed back as an ambassador, and gnashed his teeth in an invisible place.
‘Because Master is wiser than anyone else… He must have made the right decision.’
I thought I had to accept it, but I couldn’t help but feel heartbroken and sad.
‘I can do well too…’
“Boya, what are you doing?”
At that time, the sharp voice of the fireman rang in Obo’s ears.
“yes yes.”
“Seon started the operation. Blood is pouring out of the patient’s stomach. Are you thinking of something else?”
“I’m sorry.”
“Are you out of your mind? If you think you can’t do it, hand it over to Bun-ah.”
“Oh no. I came to my senses.”
When the fireman swarmed, Obo hurriedly cooled the heated iron in cold water and began to search for the capillaries.
“Bun, what are you doing? We need to move the lantern so that Sun can see.”
As the painter squeezed the blood with a cotton cloth and opened his eyes, Bun-ah’s movements sped up.
“yes.”
“When treating patients, think only of the patient. We’ll figure out what else later.”
The fireman’s voice was as cold as ice.
Not only Obo and Bun-ah, but also Pyeon-seon began to operate with great tension.
The painter widened the abdominal wall with a retractor and watched how much the pyeonseon did.
Pyeon-seon was surprised, but he couldn’t find the appendix well.
“What are you doing! Don’t try to see it with your eyes, but stick your finger in and find it with your senses. I taught you before about the difference between normal and inflamed bowels.”
“Ah ah yes.”
“Recall the position of the appendix as if drawing a picture in your head. Put your finger deeper.”
“yes. yes.”
It was a short time, less than half an angle, but before I knew it, sweat was forming on Pyeonseon’s face.
‘I’m going crazy. is this It looks like this…’
Pyeonseon felt a different kind of intestine with his fingertips, but he couldn’t get it out.
If he took it out incorrectly, it seemed that another wrath would fall from the fireman’s mouth.
It was a surgery that didn’t seem too difficult when the painter did it, but it was so difficult and trembling for me now.
As Pyeonseon hesitated, the fireman’s voice rose again.
“What are you doing? Have you still not found it?”
“I found the car, but…”
“Are you just saying that you’re not sure? Are you going to keep the patient’s belly open like this?”
“Oh no.”
Pyeonseon gritted his teeth gently.
‘Yes, there is no time to hesitate. Even if I make a mistake… Master is there.’
It’s scary, but on the other hand, it’s that much relieved because he’s there.
As soon as I thought about it, my hands became bolder.
Bulging.
I closed my fingers and pulled what I thought was an appendix out of the boat.
‘thank god.’
I let out a sigh of relief when I saw the swollen appendix in front of my eyes.
“Good find. Go ahead and move on.”
“yes.”
When Pyeonseon determined the cut surface of the appendix, tied it with thread, and boldly cut off the appendix, the painter nodded with a blunt face.
‘I’m doing better than when I first had appendicitis surgery.’
The painter automatically recalled himself when he had his first appendicitis removal surgery during his training as a specialist.
My hands were shaking because of my nervousness and I was cursed at by the professor a lot, but in the end, the surgery was successfully completed.
‘After the surgery, I was so happy that I felt like I could fly.’
Perhaps the pyeonseon will feel the same after this surgery.
While the painter thought about the past for a moment, Pyeonseon removed the appendix and neatly sutured the cut intestine.
Glance.
After sealing all the intestines, Pyeonseon placed the cut appendix in a porcelain bowl and looked at the painter’s expression.
‘I must have done well.’
It must have been a good thing since there were no screams from the fireman’s mouth.
Now that the appendectomy was over, the pyeonseon tried to insert the intestines and touch the stomach.
“for a moment!”
At that moment, a worried voice erupted from the fireman’s mouth.
“yes?”
“What are you trying to do?”
“Are you trying to close the ship?”
“Since the appendix was inflamed, is the operation over if only the appendix is removed? Don’t you think there might be other causes?”
“Oh, I’m sorry.”
Pyeonseon hurriedly put his hand in his stomach and scanned the rest of the intestines to see if there were any other areas that were inflamed.
Cold sweat began to break out on her face again.
‘Four bloody!’
Obo didn’t have time to carry the regret he had for a long time.
Apparently, the fireman was yelling at Pyeonseon, but somehow he seemed to be scolded as well.
When I looked at the line, cold sweat was running down my face.
I felt pity for myself.
‘My heart is pounding like this too… I wonder if the sister-in-law is so upset.’
Tsk tsk…..
Then, when the sound of clicking the tongue came from the fireman’s mouth, Pyeon-seon’s shoulders shrank.
The painter picked up a cotton cloth and wiped the sweat from her face.
“Be nervous, but be confident. The moment confidence disappears from your hands, the patient dies.”
“Now I have confidence.”
“Then hurry up and finish it.”
“yes.”

“Brother, I want to become your disciple and learn medicine.”
After Soon-ssi’s surgery was over, I was dismantling the tent and getting ready to leave, but suddenly, Jegalgeun came to me and I fell flat on my stomach.
The painter looked at Jegalgeun with a bewildered face.
“Suddenly being a disciple, what kind of outrageous request is that?”
“As far as I know, pancreatic disease is a disease that kills you once you get it. Aunt Sun would probably have died if she hadn’t met her older brother. I thought that there is nothing more meaningful than saving someone from dying. Please accept me as your disciple.”
The painter looked at Jegalgeun with a slightly puzzled expression.
‘This is true. The general who will rule the entire army of Oh Nara in the future…’
Actually, I was worried about how talented Zhuge Geun was, but accepting it is another matter.
‘If I accept this guy as a disciple… will history change? By any chance, isn’t Cho devouring Oh Na-ra? uhh no what am i thinking now It’s just a matter of politely rejecting it, so let’s not have regrets.’
“I have no intention of accepting you as a disciple.”
“yes! Why… did I make some big mistake? What is the reason for this?”
“Of course, saving someone from dying is meaningful, but there are many more meaningful things in the world than that. And each person has their own job, but for me, being a doctor is the right job, and for you… it’s the right job to be a manager and make a better living for the people who struggle to make ends meet.”
“Although I am reading books and learning martial arts day and night, the road to government service is… arduous.”
“The time has not come yet. Soon there will come a world that needs you. Don’t worry too much.”
Jegalgeun made an absurd and doubtful expression at the painter’s words.
“Will I really come to that time?”
“At one time, I was just a member of the Sadaebu who was in decline. But what about now? Aren’t you okay?”
“…..”
“You will have a chance to soar much higher than me. Don’t be distracted by medicine, which is not your path, and if you devote yourself to writing and martial arts as you are now, you will definitely do so, so always keep your mind straight and broad.”
“Will that day ever come?”
“Of course. So be prepared in advance. If you are not prepared, you will not be able to seize the opportunity when it comes.”
“I see. Let’s wait.”
Jegalgeun was strangely persuaded by the painter’s words.
The painter shrugged his shoulders, looking at the brightened Jegalgeun.
‘Sooner or later you’ll start proving how good you are. Just as the dragon ascends to heaven against the storm, you too will rise to heaven against the storm called Guman-ri.’
The fireman ate one last meal with the Jegal brothers and boarded the ferry.

“Father!”
As soon as the ship settled down at the dock, Pyeonseon ran towards his father.
I already sent someone yesterday to inform them that I was coming today, so Polaris was already there to meet me.
“Heh heh heh, in a few years I haven’t seen you, you’ve become a very talkative girl. I can get married now.”
“Father too! It’s been a while since I saw my daughter, are you just joking around like this?”
“It’s nice to see you. Let’s take a closer look at how pretty it is.”
Polarization loosened his seat and looked at his daughter’s face.
I’m not trying to see a face that has become pretty like a horse, but I’m going to have a good time with looking at it like this.
Pyeon-seon, knowing his father’s feelings, smiled and took out the present he had prepared.
“Master told me not to miss my mother’s death day… but since too many people were dying from the plague, I just celebrated it informally at the hospital.”
“It was a terrible plague that killed so many people. Perhaps if I had come here just to keep the deadline, I would have scolded him.”
“My father… is not cool. Get it.”
“This is…”
Pyeon-seon unwrapped the gift bag, and Polaris was speechless for a moment.
It was something that my wife loved so much when she was alive, and it contained something that she always prepared for her birthday.
“I guess he didn’t just want to see me, he also wanted to see his mother.”
“I have a lot to say to your mother.”
“First of all, your teacher and the others will prepare a place to rest… Let’s go to the sanctuary together.”
“yes.”
After a while, Pyeon-geuk allowed the fireman’s party to rest in the side room and took his daughter to visit his wife’s grave.
Pyeon-geuk himself is not particularly impressed as he visits his wife’s grave almost every day while he is here, but Pyeon-seon, who has visited his mother’s grave for the first time in several years, has been soaked in emotion for a while after holding an informal ceremony.
“Come to think of it, Mom, I have one good news to tell you.”
Pyeon-seon was talking to his mother’s grave, but he could hear it in the ear of Pyeon-geuk next to him.
‘What?’
“Today, Master gave permission for the first open surgery among all the disciples.”
“what! Open surgery!”
At that moment, the polarizer next to him could not stand it and intervened.
“My father is really talking to my mother right now.”
“Your mother is going to become a fairy in the heavens now and live well with Yeomra, so if you want to boast, do it to me who can hear your ears flutteringly.”
