Episode 58. Talking Flower (1)
“Who are you!”
As the flower pot approached the entrance of the all-night room, two guards held the spear.
Since the overnight room is a place where weapons are made for soldiers, it is a place where unauthorized people are not allowed to enter. Flowerpot asked calmly.
“Is there a chieftain?”
The eyes of the two guards turned ferocious.
‘Looks like a ruined nobleman who can’t even bring a servant with him, why are you saying he’s good at something?’
‘It’s because things that don’t really matter are going around without thinking.’
“There is, but who are you?”
The guards couldn’t say what they were thinking and only glared at their eyes.
“It’s a potted plant at a painter’s shop, but I’ve come to ask for a weapon.”
“The Great Warden is someone who can come and ask for weapons…”
Cook.
One of the guards gave the usual answer when the guard next to him suddenly pricked his side with his finger.
“Hey, stop for a second.”
“why?”
The guard who stabbed him in the side opened his mouth to the flower pot, ignoring his colleague’s question.
“Didn’t you just say you were a painter?”
“Yes.”
“Are you the painter’s head where the painter lives?”
“My younger brother has been working as a doctor these days.”
“ah! You are the older brother of Congressman Hwa. The message inside… No, I’ll take care of it.”
As the guards bowed, the guards next to them also changed their attitude and bowed together.
After a while, the flower pot followed the guards and felt the influence of his younger brother.
The reality is that no matter where they go, they are not treated properly. However, the guards treated him very politely from the moment they learned that he was the fireman’s older brother.
‘If I become a military officer later, I might benefit from my younger brother.’
The flower pot laughed at the sudden thought.
‘By the way, the eldest son of the fallen patriarch here.’
Before coming here, Flower Pot asked his siblings about Pyochung, and felt a little pity when he heard his identity.
I thought that the figure of him who was from the nobility but was doing a large field meeting could be the future of his family.
‘A person whose rank is a rogue in the military, and high-ranking officials do not impose sanctions even though he practices eccentricities of judging older brothers and sisters based on age. He acts as if he will drain the liver and gallbladder of people he likes, but he does not give in to those he doesn’t like, even if his throat is cut off.’
It was sad, but on the other hand, I was also a little nervous.
‘I’ll have to speak well to get the sword.’
After a while, when we arrived at the place where the sound of hammering was loud, the guards called Pyochung.
“The elder brother of the great chief, Congressman Hwa, has arrived.”
pop.
In an instant, the loud hammering sound stopped all at once.
“Who said you were here?”
“Congressman Hwa’s older brother is here.”
“Aiko, you have a special guest. I get it. Don’t leave soon.”
Pyochung left the workshop after handing over the hammer he was holding to another field manager.
“nice to meet you. It is a flowerpot.”
“Rep. Hwa’s older brother came all the way to the past for some reason. It’s not like this here, let’s go to my office.”
Obviously, he introduced himself as a flowerpot, so he had to be called a painter, but somehow, like the guards and Pyochung, he continued to be known as Congressman Hwa’s older brother.
The flowerpot furrowed her brows slightly, but then smiled broadly.
“yes.”
“Reverse.”
“Your chief.”
“Bring me some tea.”
“Shall I come out with a dragon?”
“of course. An honored guest has arrived.”
“All right.”
After a while, drinking longjing tea, I remembered that it was the incense I smelled on my grandfather’s lap when I was a child.
‘Still, when I was young, I was able to live… but after my father passed away, my family’s fortune declined.’
“Tea should originally be brewed for a long time over a mild charcoal fire, but it will be a bit crude because it was made in a hurry by a farmer who does not know tea ceremony.”
“no. It smells great.”
“is it so. i just write Anyway, I’m glad you like it.”
“…..”
“By the way, why did you come to see me?”
“I came here because I have a little question and a request for you.”
“is that so? From the looks of it, you seem to have mastered martial arts…”
“Yes. I plan to see Mugwa next year.”
“If you are going to see the martial arts, you know what to ask for and what to check?”
“It’s not like you.”
Flowerpot opened her mouth as Chai set down the teacup.
“I heard that my brother treated sick field farmers.”
“Yes, that’s right. But what do you want to check?”
“It is said that among those who were treated, there were patients with tetanus and those suffering from pancreatitis…”
People of this era who did not know the name of appendicitis commonly called all diseases that caused pain in the intestines to be cut while holding on to the stomach.
“Yes, that’s right.”
“Tetanus… yes, but how did you cure the phantom disease?”
“I heard that you are my brother, but didn’t you hear from Congressman Hwa?”
“They say they cut their stomachs and sewed up their intestines, but I don’t believe it.”
“Actually, I haven’t seen it myself, but… the person in question said so, and there are stitch marks on the stomach. I can’t help but believe it.”
“Excuse me, can I see the patient’s belly?”
“Should I see it?”
“Yes, it is because I have something to check. I would like to ask you a favor.”
“Hmm, I see. If there is anyone out there, go and bring some shit.”
“yes.”
Moments later, Jeon Dong, who had been operated on by a fireman to remove his appendix, arrived, and Flower Pot could see his stitched up stomach.
The pot, which had been making an expression of disbelief for a while, carefully asked Jeondong a question.
“Doesn’t your stomach really hurt now?”
“yes. The stitching is a bit flimsy sometimes, but it’s not like it used to be. I feel like I am getting better every day now.”
“I heard you are a night shift, but can you work properly after surgery?”
“I can’t do hard work, but I can do light work.”
“Do you ever feel pain in your intestines when you eat?”
“No.”
“…..”
The pot ended the interview after asking a few more questions.
After the electricity went out, Pyochung tilted his head and asked.
“I asked about the symptoms after surgery in detail. Is there anyone who needs surgery?”
“Oh no. It was said that he had performed an incredible medical technique, so I asked him to check.”
“is it so. If you want to hide something, I have no intention of revealing it.”
“Keuhum By the way, I heard that quite a few soldiers were treated by Boo, how can I meet them?”
“Soldiers are not my responsibility, so if you want to meet them, you will have to go directly to the military department.”
“is it so.”
The pot made a slightly perplexed expression and nodded.
“Other than that, the main topic is that I want to get one of those swords that my father owns, but is there any way?”
“It’s not difficult if you have the money.”
“Is that so? thank you What will the price be?”
“First of all, there are two more swords similar to the one I gave you, so take a look and decide.”
“It is true. Can I have a look?”
“Yes, wait a moment. I will go and get it.”
Pyochung went out of the office and after a while brought two swords.
The pot made a very satisfied expression after pulling out the sword and swinging it.
“They are both great swords.”
“Yes. They are like children to me.”
“How much does it cost?”
“I usually get 10 nyang of gold, but since he is the older brother of Congressman Hwa, I will accept only 9 nyang out of gratitude.”
jump.
Flower pot was confident that he wouldn’t be surprised, but this time he opened his mouth in surprise that he couldn’t hide his feelings.
‘One sword costs 9 Nyang!’
I thought I would be able to catch about 5 nyang, but I didn’t even dare to rub it because my stomach overflowed.
‘The money I’ve saved over the past five years doing all sorts of chores for Master is not enough money to buy this sword!’
“Oh, that’s as expensive as it is ridiculous.”
“Didn’t you say they were like my children?”
“That was it. Even if I covet it, it will be difficult for me to dare.”
“okay.”
Pyochung collected the sword without regret.
“The people of Joga and Hafuga would be willing to buy a sword like this, right?”
“What is it?”
Pyochung smiled wryly as if he had read what the fireman’s expression was saying and opened his mouth.
“Even if you look like a child, in the end you are a piece of metal. I made it to sell, so I have to sell it.”
“That’s right.”
The flower pot said hello to Pyochung and left the all-night room, soothing his regret with a sigh.
‘It’s a sword, I can’t afford it, so I can’t live. Wonhwa’s medicine is real. Maybe I can do my mother’s surgery.’
Even checking the soldiers, the flower pot thought that if the younger brother’s medical skills were really that great, he would have to convince his older brother.
* * *
When people came in, Obo was the first to recognize them and ran to welcome them.
“uh! Hae-soo, Hae-won. It’s been a while. Have you had a good life?”
“Hello Brother Bo.”
“It’s been a while, brother.”
“Hae-soo has become much prettier and Hae-won has gained weight. See you in about a month?”
“huh. Oppa, by the way, did you become a doctor in our house?”
“huh. Let me introduce you to Mr. come here.”
Obo took the two of them to a painter who was twisting the patient’s waist for a while.
The painter was treating a patient with a sore back with acupuncture and traction therapy, which is widely used in modern physical therapy.
Crumpled.
“Aww!”
“At home, whenever you think of it, twist your waist often in the direction I twisted. Then the numbness from the third toe on the left leg will gradually disappear and you will be able to sleep well.”
“Thank you. Oh, and this is the first year I harvested a while ago. If you boil it, the taste will be amazing.”
“Yes, I will eat well.”
The middle-aged man who received treatment offered several potatoes piled on straw.
“Mr. Hwa.”
At that time, Obo called the fireman.
“Yes why?”
“Haesu and Haewon, the owners of this house, are here. Today is Grandma’s anniversary.”
“Ah, yes. I didn’t even know that the two sojus came to see the patient. Hi, nice to meet you.”
“hello. It is seawater.”
“hello. It’s Haewon.”
“uh! Hey there, maybe…”
While Hae-soo and Hae-won were saying hello, Dong-chul, who was behind him, widened his eyes and took a step forward.
“Are you not Congressman Hwa, who sewed my face before?”
The fireman’s gaze stopped at the stitches on Dongchul’s face.
“uh! Looking at the stitch marks, I did it… Ah! Gibang warrior. Are you the one who was treated by me at Bongga’s clinic at that time?”
“yes. How is the doctor treating you in a place like this?”
Dong-cheol was making an expression of disbelief toward the painter.
The fireman he knows is the name of the person who fixed himself, which Congressman Bong also gave up on.
I couldn’t understand why such a person was receiving treatment in a slum like Sochon.
If you are a medical student who has just learned medical skills, you can get free treatment at these places to gain clinical experience, but as he knows, the painter is already a doctor.
That’s why, even though he saw the fireman when he first entered, he suddenly didn’t realize that he was the doctor who treated him at Bonga’s clinic.
“yes? What’s the problem?”
When the painter tilted his head and asked again, Dong-cheol turned away, unable to speak the words in the carriage.
“I feel like I’m in a place where I don’t fit in.”
“The clinic is where the patients are, so what doesn’t suit them?”
“That’s true, but… Haha, to be honest, it’s because I don’t understand how someone like you is giving free treatment in a shabby place like this.”
“People here do not have money, so they treat for free, but instead, people with money charge a lot for treatment.”
“is it so. But didn’t you receive much from me then?”
“Because it wasn’t a wound that deserved much.”
“Is that so? But if I hadn’t met you then, I would have gone deaf or blind.”
“What would you have done? If it wasn’t for me, you’d have gotten better soon. Anyway, it’s good that you received my treatment and are living well. The owner of the house came today, so we have to treat the patients quickly and send them off, so let’s talk about the long story later.”
