Episode 157. Run if you want to live (2)
“The pain will multiply while climbing the mountain. You’ll probably have a hard time even walking. But if you stop, you die. You have to be patient and go all the way to the top of the mountain.”
“Ah got it. If you don’t want to die, you have no choice but to come and go.”
“And if you feel the need to urinate while riding the mountain, press it unconditionally. Then, by the time you arrive here, you will be able to experience a rare experience in which stones smaller than peas that used to scratch the intestines of the people come out through the stream of urine.”
“Stones come out through the urine stream?”
“yes.”
“good night. Let’s see if it really is.”
When the old man moved, the escorts carried buckets of water and supported him.
The fireman saw it and opened his mouth again.
“You can’t even support me from the side. Of course, it doesn’t matter if you listen to the water bottle. However, you have to go to the top of the mountain entirely on your own.”
“I got it.”
When the old man started to walk, the escort warriors widened the distance while carrying buckets of water, only escorting him and walking.
After watching the old man disappear for a while, the painter started treating the patients again.
Then, when the old man appeared, Jintak, who had avoided sleeping somewhere, returned.
The painter asked Jintak.
“That arrogant old man… who is that? From the looks of it, you seem to know the identity.”
“Hasn’t Congressman Hwa already guessed his identity?”
“I understand that he is a eunuch in a fairly high-ranking position, but I don’t know anything more than that.”
“He is a non-Jeonghu who is pretending to be with our Grand Director.”
In an instant, the fireman’s eyes widened. Bijeonghu was the current position of Jodeung.
“After Joe Joe’s rain.”
“yes.”
“Is it okay to walk around outside like that without being in the palace at this time?”
“The only person in the palace who can say anything to Queen Victoria is His Majesty.”
The painter shook his head.
Later, Cao Cao founded the Wei Dynasty and Cao Cao’s son Cao Ye ascended to the throne, and later, Cao Cao’s son Cao Ye ascended to the throne. This is the only case in Chinese history in which a eunuch is honored as an emperor.
‘He lives longer than his adoptive son… He must live an incredibly long life.’
In fact, urinary stones are painful, but not life-threatening.
“By the way, it’s amazing that you’re ordering Queen Bi to go up and down the mountain.”
“There was no other way, so that’s what I did.”
“If I were a member of Congress, I would have found another way.”
“The other way is to open the stomach and split the intestines to remove the stones. It’s better to climb the mountain and come back a hundred times.”
Jintak opened his eyes wide as if surprised by the fireman’s words and nodded.
“Can’t it be cured with decoction or saliva?”
“If it was fixed like that, would Bi-Jeong-hu come to me even if it went to Si-ui?”
“okay.”
Pyeonseon approached the fireman’s side and asked softly.
“Master, didn’t Zhao Bi-Jeong Hu complain of intermittent pain in the right abdomen? Isn’t it a symptom usually seen when there is something wrong with the liver or gallbladder?”
“It can be confusing because the symptoms are similar, but when I patted you on the back, it hurt enough to scream. Not more than the liver or gallbladder.”
“okay.”
“Arrhythmia is when something like a small stone called a calculus gets stuck in the tube called the ureter that goes from the kidney to the bladder.”
“Where did something like a small stone come out of nowhere that got stuck in the urinary tract?”
“Stones are made in the kidneys.”
“In Xinjiang?”
“If you eat a lot of alcohol and greasy food, the kidneys will drain the oil…”
The painter explained in detail the causes of stones and treatment methods by solving modern medical knowledge.
After hearing the fireman’s explanation, Pyeonseon was amazed beyond surprise.
“…so if the stones in the ureters were just a little bigger, I would have had to do surgery. It’s fortunate that it ended on the line that went all the way to the top of the mountain.”
“okay.”
After Pyeonseon nodded and stepped back, the fireman treated three more patients.
The sun had set and the sky began to turn red.
Hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee…..
Around that time, Jo Bi-Jeong-hu stumbled over from afar.
He seemed to have listened carefully to the fireman’s words, but he was not supported by the escort even though he staggered as if he were about to collapse.
Bijeonghu Jo came to the entrance of the inn and leaned against the door, breathing heavily.
“I went all the way to the top of the mountain.”
“Have you seen stones smaller than peas in your urine?”
“Are these the stones you mentioned?”
Bijeonghu Jo put his hand into his bosom, then took out a small yellow stone and placed it on his palm, holding it out toward the fireman.
‘I don’t need to bring it dirty and convince you…’
“Yes.”
“Certainly, since I excreted this through urine, the pain has significantly decreased.”
“Since the stone is gone, there will be no pain for a while, but you should be careful because there will be another stone in the future.
The painter approached Jo Bi-jeong-hu and scared him after diagnosing him.
“what! Will it happen again?”
Hearing the fireman’s words, Jo-deung’s eyes widened as much as his lantern cup.
The thought of having to go through that terrible pain again created a sense of dread.
“It is unavoidable because you have been drinking alcohol and greasy food and not moving your body.”
“Isn’t there a way to treat it in advance?”
“It cannot be cured, but it can be prevented to some degree.”
“How can I do it?”
“All you have to do is go up that mountain every day like today.”
“What! How can you climb a mountain like that every day? I feel like dying right now.”
“If you don’t climb the mountain, next time you will suffer three times the pain you suffered this time. And then it triples there again.”
jump.
When the painter scared him, Jo Deung’s mouth opened like a man with a missing jaw.
“In the past, there was a person who suffered from the same disease as Daein, but he did not do what I ordered and endured. It was very unfortunate.”
The fireman gave it to Kim properly when it scared him. Of course, what he said just now was nonsense.
Jo Deung’s eyes trembled as if he had met an earthquake.
How terrible was the pain that he couldn’t stand it and committed suicide? I could imagine how many times the pain was today.
“Ah got it. No matter how hard it is, I will climb the mountain every day.”
“You can’t stop just because it’s raining, or you can’t stop because you’re busy.”
“I get it.”
Afterwards, the painter wrote down the food to be eaten and a few other things to be careful of as a prescription, and finished the treatment.
* * *
Jo Deung was on his way back to the palace, almost collapsing on the palanquin.
‘Keueugh, how many times that pain…’
The biggest pain in my life so far was the pain I felt when I was castrated.
The reason why she was able to endure the pain at that time was the fact that she would not die and the fact that she would not starve if she lived in the imperial palace in the future.
It’s a very insignificant reason from where I am now, but that was all at the time.
Anyway, since that day, I have been tortured and beaten to the point of collapsing. But no pain was as painful as being castrated.
But today, I suffered so much pain that I thought for the first time that I would die if I continued like this.
Even the poets who were said to be the best in their own way of medicine shook their heads and said that they had no choice but to drink the decoction and endure until the pain went away.
In the meantime, it suddenly occurred to me that the painter would be in the imperial city to receive a government post.
He immediately inquired about the fireman and received treatment, and he was cured of symptoms like a ghost, but when he did as he ordered, stones smaller than peas came out of his urine stream.
To be honest, climbing the mountain was difficult, but it was nothing compared to the life she had experienced in the imperial palace.
Now that Jo Deung is living well, he naturally has a different mind (greed).
“No matter how much power you have, you will die if you get sick. And when you die, it’s over.”
If you don’t want to die, you can put a name like a fireman under your command.
If he hadn’t visited the fireman today, he would have died in agony. No, even if you were lucky enough not to die today, you might not be able to hold on next time.
‘I’m going to make him my exclusive doctor.’
It was also the agenda of his grandson, Jojo, so it seemed that he could put it under his will enough if he used wealth, honor, and appropriate threats.
After entering the palace, Jo Deung found his adopted son and grandson anxiously hanging around in his office.
I was planning to call Jojo and give him some instructions, but it was better to wait for him to come.
Jojo and Josung were very worried because they heard that Jodeung had collapsed and called the city council to receive treatment.
“How is your body, father?”
“I heard you went to see your grandfather’s painter. Are you coming after receiving treatment?”
“Tsk, don’t make a fuss, let’s go in first. It’s been a while since I went up San El, so it’s hard to stand still.”
Jo Deung took his son and grandson into the office and sent the guards outside. Then he opened his mouth to Cao Song.
“The news of my collapse must have spread throughout the palace… Didn’t the others come?”
“A lot of people, including His Majesty, have already been there. But when my father told me that the city doctors couldn’t cure the disease, they went to see the fireman outside the palace, and everyone said they knew and went back.”
“These days, things in the imperial palace are going unusually well, so everyone wouldn’t have time to hang out here… but it’s annoying.”
“…..”
“By the way, Congresswoman Hwa is on your agenda. As expected, it’s a great name.”
“Have you been cured by Boo?”
“I was treated very out of common sense.”
“Did he disrespect his grandfather by any chance?”
Jojo put on a slightly worried expression.
“Well, it was a bit disrespectful, but… I couldn’t help but hear that it was the only way for me to live.”
“Because of what blasphemy did you commit? I was thinking of meeting you sooner or later for a drink… but if you did something that would make you angry, I’ll punish you harshly.”
Jojo deliberately exaggerated his words because he was concerned about the fireman.
“The attitude was a bit arrogant, but that’s because I hid my identity, and there’s nothing to scold you for, so when you meet him, try to persuade him to become our family’s exclusive doctor.”
“yes? Exclusive?”
“Yeah, I knew it when I fell down this time. Poetry doctors are excellent, but they are not as good as the painter. So, I will make him the exclusive family doctor.”
“The fireman is a windy guy, so even if I offered him an exclusive position, he wouldn’t accept it.”
“That’s because you’re so rudely recommending it. Give him what he likes, but if it doesn’t work, make him an exclusive doctor by mentioning his family.”
When Jo Jo-seo couldn’t answer and made a troubled expression, Jo-deung clicked his tongue.
“Tsk, you’re all good, but it’s a flaw that you’re not strong. Your agenda is to give you a chance. If you say you can’t do it, I’ll make your father do it.”
Jojo gritted his teeth inwardly at his grandfather’s words.
The grandfather or father has a dichotomous way of thinking that distinguishes people as enemies, so if one of the two steps forward, the fireman and his righteousness could be broken.
In that case, it was better for me to step out on my own.
“no. I will try to convince the fireman.”
“You should do well. So that your father does not step out.”
