Episode 23. Rediscovery of hemp leaves (2)
“Whoa~. I think I ran for almost 30 minutes, but it’s easy. My stamina is definitely improving beyond belief.”
It was a long distance of about 10 kilometers from the slums to Bonga Uibang.
Even running 10 kilometers in 30 minutes is a big deal, but it only made my breathing a little rough, but my legs didn’t loosen up.
“It is difficult to train with my brother, but the effect is really great.”
The painter took a moment to catch his breath and went into Bonga’s medical room.
“hello? Mr. Hwa Gongja.”
The servants pretended to know first, saying that they knew each other a little.
“yes. Where is Congressman Bong?”
“He is meeting Congressman Seok in the annex.”
“Ah, Congressman Seok is here. Where is the outbuilding?”
“I will guide you.”
“yes. thank you.”
Even though the fireman has now adapted to this world to some extent, he gave his servants engineering lessons.
While the fireman came, Congressman Bong and Congressman Seok were surprised by each other.
“Are you sure you raised the dead rather than fainting?”
Looking at Congressman Bong’s expression of disbelief, Congressman Seok nodded.
“As a result of taking a pulse at that time, all organs of the body were awakening. Hehe, it’s the first time I’ve experienced such an article. I don’t know about other organs, but the heart and lungs don’t need to be activated because even if they faint, they move on their own.”
“That’s right. But to raise a dead person… This… Tong… I can’t believe it.”
“I don’t know how many times I asked the people around me because I couldn’t believe it even after taking a pulse. They said everyone was dead. That’s why I barely believed it. Of course, the person himself said that he had performed CPR and saved his life, so that belief was even stronger.”
“Hey, what a medical technique to bring the dead back to life! The medicine that connects broken blood vessels is also amazing , and
I’m still barely imitating it…”
“How would I know that?”
“Councilor, Mr. Hwa Gongja is here.”
At that time, a servant sent a message to Congressman Bong outside.
“The fireman came? I get it. Senator Seok, please leave.”
“Yes.”
The two of them were about to get up when the door opened and a fireman entered.
“I’m thirsty too, please give me some tea.”
The painter was constantly wiping away sweat.
“Did you come with a servant?”
“yes.”
“Sit here. Hoya.”
“Yes, Senator.”
“Give me some more tea.”
“yes.”
After sitting on a chair, the painter looked at the two lawmakers whose eyes were shining brightly at him.
“From what I heard at first glance outside, I thought you were talking about me.”
“Keuheum, your ears are also bright.”
“Haha, you two have a lot of voices.”
“I heard from Congressman Seok that Confucius raised the dead, is that true?”
“It wasn’t someone who had been dead for a long time, but someone whose heart had just stopped.”
“If your heart stops, you are dead. I heard they used CPR, but how on earth did they revive the stopped heart and lungs?”
“It’s unfortunate, but I can’t tell it to Congressman Bong, who is already learning vascular repair from me.”
In fact, the painter intended to teach Congressman Bong anyway.
It’s not a difficult skill, and Congressman Bong is smart enough to get a sense just by looking at it from the side.
However, I had experience yesterday, and the value of such technology is difficult to convert into money.
That’s why I deliberately bounced it once.
“Can’t you tell me? He said he would teach Congressman Seok.”
Congressman Bong, unaware of the fireman’s intentions, naturally became impatient.
“Since Congressman Seok doesn’t know how to seal blood vessels, he said he will teach you CPR. And Congressman Seok promised me that he would not let anyone else know the technique.”
When the fireman finished talking, not only Rep. Bong but also Rep. Seok moved their buttocks.
I thought that if I did well, I would be able to learn vascular closure as well as CPR.
Both technologies were amazing new technologies that went beyond medical common sense so far.
Rep. Seok and Rep. Bong naturally met their eyes and exchanged many silent conversations in a short period of time.
‘Somehow…..’
‘Yes, somehow…’
The fireman could clearly guess what they were thinking, but he deliberately pretended not to know, no, he thought of knowing the truth and moving on.
‘Well, anyway, the system that resurrected me in the body of a person of this era left my memory intact, so it’s also a mistake. Let’s release it in moderation and make funds.’
While the painter was making up his mind inwardly, Congressman Bong and Congressman Seok exchanged glances and joined their minds.
“Hwa Gongja. Why do you want to teach me and Congressman Seok different skills? Wouldn’t it be easier to compare… and make more money if you taught both of us the skills?”
“Money?”
When the painter intentionally opened his eyes slightly wide, Congressman Bong swallowed dry saliva.
“Bonshi medicine saves people, and if it spreads widely, more people can live.”
“It does. But I don’t want to teach others the skills I learned the hard way.”
“Confucius said that if you look at saving others through medicine, isn’t it that we want to make a living?”
“I have to live on something, so I can’t deny it.”
“So that’s what I’m saying. Wouldn’t a chemist also take in disciples when he gets older someday? Then that disciple will learn the skill and teach someone else. Eventually, the technology has no choice but to spread throughout the world. And the money will be earned by the apprentice of the painter who will spread the technology to the world.”
“After all, if I don’t pass on my skills, does that mean that my future apprentice will do only good things?”
“Honestly, isn’t it? So, in that case, you’d better just teach it to us and get a lot of money, right? I’ll give it to you so you won’t be upset, so think about it carefully.”
“Hmm~. I’m doing a good job for my disciple. What I’ve heard is not wrong. But still, isn’t the student of the future better than the two present men?”
“Wouldn’t the future disciple be someone else anyway? Could it be that Confucius, a nobleman, intends to make his son have a medical profession?”
“ah! Come to think of it, I can pass on my skills to my children.”
“Seo, are you thinking of making your son a member of the Diet?”
“If I had children, I would think so.”
“Heh heh, I don’t want to teach him, so he seems to be making excuses for his children, but how much do you want instead? I’ll give it to you so you won’t be upset.”
“Instead, our acupuncture and herbal remedies won’t be paid for. So let me know.”
Rep. Seok, who was next to him, also helped.
“Hmm~. I also developed it with difficulty, so I shouldn’t just tell you… Actually, it’s not that difficult because it’s a decoction.”
The fireman deliberately blurted out the end of his speech.
snap.
At that moment, Rep. Bong and Rep. Seok held the fireman’s hand and sent desperate eyes.
Senator Bong opened his mouth.
“Anyway, I think he has in mind that I made him a little disappointed last time, but I think memorizing the book of acupuncture in just three days was an unreasonable task, even when I think about it. So, let me relax.”
“Ah, I have memorized all the acupuncture books that Congressman gave me. We will return it here.”
After shaking off the hands of the two, the fireman took out an acupuncture gun and put it on the table.
It would take several days just to take this thick book of acupuncture and copy it.
Even if you’ve finished transcribing, how long does it take to read? 3 days is a really crazy amount of time.
“You memorized everything?”
“yes.”
“Can I try it?”
“yes. Ask anything.”
“Hehe, since you’re so confident, I’ll ask you one more time. Explain about Yongcheon-hyeol and tell me the depth and time of the hour hand.”
Whoa ah.
The moment Congressman Bong mentioned Yongcheon-hyeol, a nervous map unfolded in Hwabu’s head.
‘There is Yongcheonhyeol at the end of the nerves extending from the kidneys and bladder. It’s in the recess of the foot, so it can hit a nerve without poking it deeply.’
Along with the nerve map, I also remembered the contents of Bong’s acupuncture book.
“Yongcheon-hyeol is the recessed part in the center when the toes are closed. The depth of the hour hand is about half an inch, no matter how fat a person is, it shouldn’t exceed one inch, and it’s mainly when the body is swollen…” When the painter
explained about Yongcheon-hyeol, not only Congressman Bong but also Congressman Seok widened their eyes in surprise. floated
‘Not only is there not a single detail missing, but there is no sign of embarrassment or hesitation at all, even though it is definitely a test.’
‘This seems to be the contents of the acupuncture book that Congressman Bong is looking at. It’s almost the same as what I saw, but the efficacy is explained in a bit more detail at the end. Did you add it by any chance?’
“…And this is my opinion, but if you are a person who pours well enough to spit in Yongcheonhyeol, I think you should increase your water intake rather than reduce it. Instead, I think it would be better to eat foods that are not salty or greasy.”
Upon hearing the fireman’s last thoughts, the two lawmakers’ eyes widened and they were puzzled.
“Increase your water intake? Are you pouring well?”
“Your Yongcheon blood is closely related to your kidneys, and just because you drink less water, your kidneys…”
When the painter explained not only water intake but also the reason why they should eat foods that are not salty or greasy, the mouths of the two lawmakers widened.
The two lawmakers did not say anything for a while, replaying the fireman’s explanation in their heads and wondering if that was the case.
Heh heh heh…..
First, Congressman Seok smiled and opened his mouth.
“It makes sense that when you eat salty food, your body tries to retain a lot of water to balance the salinity. Come to think of it, most of the patients with swelling were the type who like salty and greasy food.”
Rep. Bong also added comments to Rep. Seok’s words.
“And most of them were always drinking too much for dinner.”
“If you drink alcohol as an accompaniment, of course you have no choice but to find salty, spicy and stimulating food.”
“Once you know the cause of swelling, it becomes easier to treat. Where the hell did a painter get such knowledge from?”
The hwabu put on a shy expression at Rep. Seok’s question and gave an appropriate answer.
“Since I was young, I have loved reading, so I have read countless medical and miscellaneous books besides scriptures.”
“Keuheum I feel a little embarrassed after hearing the words of the chemist. As I’m getting older, I haven’t been notified except for medical records.”
“Iknow, right. In fact, I hardly ever saw the doctor because I was busy.”
“Of course, you have to read a lot of books to broaden your common sense and scope of thinking in medicine.”
“I will read a lot of books in the future. At this rate, there’s no need to ask the chemist for another acupuncture point. Very satisfied.”
“thank you. I was also able to gain a lot of enlightenment while reading the acupuncture book that Congressman Bong lent me.”
When Rep. Bong put the acupuncture book into his bosom, Rep. Seok cleared his throat.
“Keheo-hum, a painter by the way. How about teaching us CPR and vascular closure? Have you still changed your mind?”
Congressman Seok was a person who knew how to read the atmosphere.
The narrator waited for a pleasant moment and spoke again.
“hmm-. great. I will teach both of you vascular tamponade and CPR. I will take 10 nyang in silver instead.”
“Thank you.”
“That’s a really good idea. Many people will be able to live with your decision now.”
“Mr.”
At that time, I heard the sound of urgent footsteps outside, and soon a servant called Congressman Bong.
“What’s going on?”
“A military officer has come from the prefectural office.”
“Get out of the way, I will tell you directly.”
As soon as the servant finished speaking, a military officer with a large sword at his waist entered.
Seeing three people inside, the officer paused for a moment before opening his mouth.
“The warden is called Sopyeong. Who is Congressman Bong?”
“I am Congressman Bong, what are you doing?”
“Many soldiers were injured during the bandit suppression operation. Although the governor has not yet issued an order to punish the lawmakers, the matter is urgent, so I came to visit you in person because I wanted you to hurry up and visit me.”
The only people who could be excluded from the punishment order were noblemen such as painters.
If you were a member of the parliament, you had no choice but to follow the punishment order.
Of course, most legislators have to go to the house when a military officer asks for cooperation, as it is now, even if there is no punishment order.
“Where can I go?”
“It’s Maseokgol, and I’ll take care of it.”
“If it’s Maseokgol, go ask for help from me and other members of the council.”
“We have already sent soldiers to other members of Congress.”
“is it. Then take the lead.”
“yes.”
So-pyeong took the lead, and Congressman Bong and Seok followed.
“Hoya.”
As Congressman Bong left, he called for a servant.
“Yes, Senator.”
“Come to Maseokgol with Simjae and Shimwon.”
“yes.”
“Ah, what a painter.”
“yes.”
“I forgot to give you this.”
Congressman Bong took out his bedclothes from his pocket and held them out to the fireman.
click.
When I opened the lid, it contained a lot of thin and elastic saliva, divided by length, just like the one used by Congressman Bong.
“uh! Have you already asked for acupuncture from the great smith?”
“huh.”
Rep. Bong slightly noticed that he was going to go to Rep. Seok right next to him, but Rep. Seok didn’t seem to know that.
“thank you. I will write well.”
“I heard that the instruments he drew at that time will be made a little later because he did not have time to arm them for the time being.”
“Well, it’s not something that can be made right away, so I’m not in a hurry either.”
After the fireman put the bedclothes into his bosom, he thought it was all right.
‘Since the soldiers are said to have been seriously injured, I guess you can try acupuncture to your heart’s content. Well, with Senator Bong or Senator Seok by my side, the soldiers won’t say anything to me.’
Originally, the needle for clinical trials was intended to be used for the first time targeting people in the slums, but as circumstances changed, the subject also changed.
Although his conscience was stabbed a little, he comforted himself by saying that he had no choice but to develop his medical skills.
* * *
After riding a horse for about an hour, Maseokgol arrived, and there were already numerous bodies lying around.
Maseokgol, where screams filled with blood, moaning and pain, were already reminiscent of a battlefield.
The fireman managed to straighten his wrinkled expression as he got off the back of Congressman Bong’s horse.
‘Keueueugh the harness hasn’t been made yet! With so many people riding horses, why haven’t saddles been made yet?’
Rep. Bong and Rep. Seok, who rode horses without a saddle for two hours, were amazing.
‘It looks like the groin on the inside of the thigh is all rubbed, but damn it’s hard to even walk!’
The painter observed the steps of Congressman Bong, Congressman Seok, and the military officer who rode the horse ahead.
For some reason, they didn’t walk around like he did, but were walking as if they were fine.
No, even running around.
‘Did you put iron plates on their thighs and groin? How can he be so fine?’
Not only did he have pain in his groin, but also his back and neck.
‘There must be some trick. At least next time I ride a horse, I should wear thick pants. Or at least put a piece of cloth on the inside of the thigh.’
The fireman’s whole body creaked, but he couldn’t relax as the patients screamed and died.
With a hesitant step, I approached the patient’s place rather quickly.
“oh my! Senator, please save me.”
“Keueueueugh, Congressman. Please save me first.”
“…..”
