Episode 175. Another god (2)
The fireman was traveling around the world treating patients anyway, so he thought of meeting Son Gyeon, who was the head of the business, in advance.
Furthermore, since the rebellion by the bishops of Jingju had just been suppressed in Changsha, there must have been many wounded.
“Your business is in the south, so you can eat tropical fruits like bananas and mangoes after a long time, right? I have a bad liver, so I need to eat a lot of avocado.”
The painter licked his lips thinking about the tropical fruit.
Since he underwent a liver incision, he had to eat foods rich in vitamin K, but there were many plants rich in vitamin K in the tropics.
After a while, the fireman’s party accepted the fireman’s opinion and started their journey to the destination of business.

Chang-gi, who was the governor of the business, readily handed over the position of governor to the newly appointed Sun Jian and completed the takeover.
“Please manage your business well.”
Receiving the final greeting from the janggi, Sun Jian felt regret.
Usually, when you step back like this, you feel sorry for him, but Jang Ki looked really at ease.
“Rather than going home, couldn’t you continue to give me advice like now? Now is the time for someone like Governor Jang to roll up his hands and feet for the sake of the people.”
The reason why the handover, which should have been completed long ago, took more than three months was all because Sun Jian was obsessed with holding on to the organ.
However, Jang-gi finally refused Sun Jian’s request.
“The front wave of the Yangtze is pushed by the back wave. If you cling to useless places, you will become ugly.”
“Now that you’ve said that, I don’t have the face to hold Tae-soo-nim anymore. Anyway, what are you planning to do after going home?”
“I have been interested in medicine since long ago, and I especially studied medicine in depth. Now that the heavy burden has been laid down, I am thinking of making a book by systematically arranging medicinal materials to help my juniors learn medical science.”
In Janggi, there was an unusual person known as Chongqing who was good at healing people rather than being known as the master of business near Hyeongju.
“Oh, come to think of it, I heard that many of my subordinates were healed by the governor during this war. Thank you, albeit belatedly.”
“I should have commanded the army well, but since I was being treated… I was pushed back by the rebels of the composition. I’m ashamed. Rather, I should thank Son Tae-soo.”
“Aren’t I originally from military ranks? Anyway, even if you go down there, it’s a place where you’ve worked for a long time, so please visit often to give advice to this old woman and treat any injured soldiers.”
“All right. If anyone is injured, I will come running in a month, so please contact me.”
“Then…”
After saying goodbye to Sun Jian, Jang Ki left the Taesoo’s quarters he had been fond of for a long time.
Among the two who followed him when the janggi came out, there was Gasol, but there were also three disciples, Wang Suk-hwa and Du-do Wichim.
“Sukhwa.”
“Your master.”
“Tell the coachman and ask him to go to Dohyang-hyeon.”
“Are you Do Hyang-hyeon? Weren’t you going home?”
“What are you going to do when you go home? As a doctor, you have to go to a place where there are a lot of patients.”
Dohyang-hyeon was a hyeon that suffered great damage in this war.
“All right. Master.”
Wang Sook-hwa took the lead and delivered the horse to the coachman driving the carriage, and the rest of the carriages followed suit.

The painter came down to Changsha for the purpose of seeing Son, but he did not immediately run to Changsha to see Son.
First of all, he was traveling around the villages with many injured people to treat them.
Because the medical technique of the painter and his disciples was different from the existing treatment, which relied only on acupuncture and decoction, word spread quickly and many patients flocked to it.
Jang-gi, who was treating patients in Dohyang-hyeon, eventually heard rumors that a new faith had appeared in the business.
“what? faith?”
Janggi put on a slightly displeased expression.
“Yes Master. He is called Hwa-ta, and he is said to cure diseases by not only slicing people’s stomachs, but even drilling holes in their heads.”
“What crazy! I don’t know what kind of madman dazzles the people with strange magic, but there is no such medicine in the world. I will catch him right away and kill him.”
Hwabu’s excellent medical skills spread a lot in Yeju and Yeonju, but did not spread to Jangsa, the southern part of Hyeongju. So Jang-gi was horrified when he heard about Hwa-bu’s treatment method.
Since the world was so ugly, nonsense and absurd treatments, from the treatment of drinking lye with burning amulets to the treatment of eating dog poop, were wandering around in the private sector, aggravating the disease.
I thought that the lawmaker, who is called Hwa-ta for long-term, was also of that type.
Although Jang-gi resigned from the post of governor, his heart for the people was still the same. So, first of all, I ran to Paeng Hae-hyeon, where Hwa-ta treats patients, with his disciples and some companions.
“Dudo.”
“Your master.”
“You first go to the prefectural office and borrow 50 government soldiers.”
“All right.”
“Wait a minute, Master.”
When the disciple Du-do tried to ride first, another disciple, Wang Suk-hwa, was hastily stopped.
“Why?”
“A man named Hwata uses strange magic, but how can he gain a reputation of trust with mere magic? Wouldn’t it be better to first check whether they are really using witchcraft or medicine that we don’t know about before borrowing a coffin bottle?”
“hmm!”
Jang-gi listened to Wang Sook-hwa’s words and pondered for a while.
Wang Suk-hwa was also a disciple of janggi, but he was from a prestigious nobleman in Bonsi, so he was a disciple who had been providing a lot of help in fields other than medicine.
“The time to borrow the official bottle is at most half a day or a day late. You have to be careful not to know this.”
When Wang Suk-hwa added more words, Jang-gi nodded.
“Yes, it will take a while to find out whether what he is doing is witchcraft or medicine. let’s go.”
Jang-gi rode for about half a day and arrived in Penghai County.
* * *
After hearing the words of his disciple, Wang Sook-hwa, Jang-gi did not borrow a government soldier, but he was quite excited or angry inside. Because of this, when the fireman’s party found a makeshift hospital where treatment was being performed, they rode their horses and ran to the front.
“Hey, are you guys insane! Can’t you see the patients lined up here?”
thud.
At that time, a long iron stick hit the ground in front of the horse the janggi was riding, and there was a sound like a gourd exploding in a mortar.
Jang-gi was startled and pulled the reins to stop the horse.
“Yeah man. Do you know who I dare to be…”
Jang-gi was speechless when the opponent pulled an iron club from the ground and aimed it at his neck as he was riding on a horse. The body of a man with an iron club was emanating a lethal force that could only be emitted by a longevity on the battlefield.
“Who you are is not important right now. The important thing is that if you keep driving your horse wildly you might injure the patients behind me.”
Jang-gi was briefly intimidated by the opponent’s life, but he was still the person who had been the governor until recently. In an instant, the feeling of shrinkage was shaken off.
“I don’t know what he’s doing, but he’s not wrong. I admit my mistakes.”
sniff
When Janggi got off the horse, the man put away the iron club he was holding.
“Get out of the way.”
“Looks like you’re not a patient. What’s going on?”
The tone of the man with the iron club changed. It was clear that the person who appeared was not an ordinary person just by looking at his clothes and his way of speaking.
“I heard that there is a doctor who practices strange magic here, so I came to check it out.”
food.
For a moment, the man laughed lightly.
“Ignorant people who don’t even know a medical chair talk like that.”
“What?”
Janggi got angry, but the opponent shrugged and stepped aside.
“Try to see it with your own eyes. Is it witchcraft or medicine? There have been quite a few people like you so far, but there was not one of them who did not go to our congressman with admiration.”
It was absurd confidence.
Jang-gi managed to hold back his anger, but his face turned red.
“If medicine were witchcraft…you wouldn’t succeed either.”
The man shrugged his shoulders at the screams of the organs, but as if he didn’t care, he even made a motion to go inside with his hand.
Janggi took a step forward because he didn’t have to fight with his subordinates.
The patients in the queue had already noticed that Janggi or his disciples were of high status, so they hurriedly moved aside.

The painter ate a lot of good food and rested mainly in the carriage during the two months to Jangsa here, so now his body has recovered enough to treat patients.
The patient the painter was now diagnosing was complaining of severe abdominal pain that made him scream.
The painter frowned as he touched the patient’s stomach.
‘This seems to be free air…’
Free air was a symptom of air escaping from the stomach or intestines and filling the abdominal cavity. There must be a hole in the stomach or intestine to allow air to escape.
When I touched the patient’s stomach, it was as hard as a wooden board.
When I looked into my stomach using my clairvoyance, I saw a hazy gray shadow in the pylorus at the bottom of my stomach.
‘Free air by stomach perforation is correct.’
The painter decided that since the hole had just been pierced in the stomach, it would be possible to save his life if he had a quick operation.
‘By the way, he seems to be quite wealthy from his outfit, but why did he have a hole in his stomach?’
The gastric wall is composed of five layers: the mucosal layer, the submucosa, the intrinsic muscular layer, and the subserous serous layer.
“Since when did you say you have a stomach ache?”
When the fireman asked, the man who brought the patient opened his mouth.
“He said he often complained of stomachaches, but today he collapsed and rolled on the floor, so he brought me here in a hurry.”
“I think I smell alcohol… Do you drink often?”
“Since you run your own sake shop, you should always taste the sake. I don’t eat much.”
“Oh~. okay. By the way, are you a family?”
“Your older brother is a weekday, and as a younger brother I am average.”
“Now my older brother has a hole in his stomach, and he is in such pain.”
When the stomach is punctured, not only air but also stomach acid flows out and digests the intestines. Because of this, it gets worse as time goes on.
“A hole in your stomach?”
“yes.”
“Then what should I do?”
“You have to open the stomach and cut out the perforated part of the stomach.”
“You mean open the boat? I heard that many people opened boats here… Is my brother that bad?”
“If we leave it as it is, we won’t be able to make it past today.”
Hearing the fireman’s words, Pyeongi couldn’t answer right away and pondered for a long time, but when he saw his older brother screaming while holding onto his stomach, he let out a long sigh and nodded.
“Usually, if you get a parasitic disease, most of them die.
“All right.”
The painter had Bun-ah and Ok-ju prepare to operate on the patient.
“for a moment! How can you be so sure that I’ve been watching you for a while and you’ve got a hole in your stomach? Aren’t there many causes of hallucinations?”
Then, suddenly, the organs intervened.
