Episode 67. Hao-wen (2)
“He said it would be okay in four or five days.”
“Then it will be better than now.”
“yes.”
“I am very fortunate. If I do well, I will be able to become the best gisaeng of Chohyeon again.”
“Unnie, even if I get better, I won’t be a parasitic anymore.”
In an instant, Mae-Hyang’s eyes, which had been warm like a spring breeze, became cold.
“What are you going to do if you don’t become a gisaeng? You don’t even have money to treat yourself.”
“I asked the congressman, and he said there are many female doctors, but I think they might be.”
“Did Congressman Hwa allow it?”
“no.”
“I knew that.”
“What did you know?”
“What kind of person is Senator Hwa? Although his name is not widely known yet, isn’t he the one who will go beyond Chohyeon and make his name known throughout the defeated country, or throughout the central plains? But if you, who was a courtesan, sticks next to him and acts as a courtesan, wouldn’t that be someone to his reputation?”
“ah!”
Cho-seol’s complexion turned sullen, but Mae-hyang continued to speak coldly.
“I guess so.”
“And the maid is not for everyone. What do you know to be a righteous woman?”
“Wouldn’t it be better if we learn step by step?”
“Do you have money to learn chacha?”
“….no.”
“So I have to be a courtesan. You have to make a lot of money so that you can retire later and become a doctor. Of course, it would be unreasonable for Congressman Hwa to act as a medical woman, but other lawmakers would accept it.”
“I don’t want to be a medical woman next to other doctors.”
“Tttt, you even have your own heart in your heart to become a doctor.”
“…..”
“Don’t think about interfering with the future of Congressman Hwa, who has a promising future.
“Haomun?”
Lu Ju told Cho Seol to come into Hao Gate, which he had often said before he was caught in the spear.
“Yes, if you come under me, you will probably be of great help to Congressman Hwa in the future.”
“Are you saying that only Hao Mun has the power to help you?”
“Do you look weak? That’s something you’ll know when you come in. And wouldn’t it be better than you now?”
Choseol, who heard Rouge’s words, thought for a moment, then bit his teeth gently and nodded.
“all right. If I can help you in any way, I will.”
“Good idea. If you can only regain your old beauty, you might be above me instead of below me.”
“Yeah, what do you mean?”
“If you know the physiology of the organization later, you will know it yourself.”
Rustling…
While the two were talking, the sound of stepping on fallen leaves could be heard in the distance.
The only person who would come here at this time was the fireman.
“The legislator you are interested in is coming. I’ll go and see.”
“Yes, have a good night’s sleep.”
“okay. I’ll come later tonight if I have time.”
“yes.”
“uh! Ruju-nim isn’t sleeping, so what are you doing here at this time?”
At that time, the painter entered Choseol’s residence and saw Rouge with a slightly puzzled expression.
“I am going to bed now. You came early today.”
“Ah, I got a call from Hwahwaru this morning. I came quickly because I have to go to Hwahwaru after the treatment for the first time.”
Hwahwaru is as large as Seonhyangru, and has been famous for a long time since there is a top-notch gisaeng named Ranhwa.
“Hwahwaru?”
In an instant, Choseol opened his eyes and asked again.
“yes.”
“Is Ranhwa ill?”
“That I don’t know either. I sent someone to ask for a house visit, but I didn’t say that anyone was sick.”
“It’s probably Lan Hwa.”
Then Rouge, who was next to her, intervened.
“Lanhua?”
“huh.”
“How does Luju know who the patient is?”
“I am close with Rouge of Hwahwaru. Not too long ago, we met at a regular meeting of the Rouges and chatted… no, we chatted and said that Choseol was treated by the doctor and that he was almost healed.”
“Ah, that’s why people came from Hwahwaru. Did that person named Ranhwa also get hooked?”
“yes. The condition is not as severe as that of Choseol, but the initial symptoms are similar, so I invited a doctor to get a diagnosis.”
“is it so.”
The fireman actually expected that there would be poison ivy patients from the time people came from Hwahwaru.
“I have to go to bed now. I received a few guests yesterday, and I am very tired.”
“yes.”
“Take good care of your first tongue child.”
“Yes sister. See you later.”
“When the time comes.”
As the plum scent disappeared, Choseol unknowingly let out a short sigh.
‘It must be Ranhwa!’
Cho-seol met Ran-hwa, who was mentioned as his name, while attending a boating called by Hyun-ryeong.
It was so beautiful even to look at it to the point of envy, but when I heard that the painter was going to treat such a woman, I felt confused for some reason.
‘I was ugly, but if Ranhwa was in her early days, she wouldn’t be ugly.’
He had no choice but to know well how the painter treated thrips because he had experienced it himself. I would probably peel off the orchid flowers, put acupuncture on them, and apply golden spear medicine.
Jealousy welled up.
‘Eh, what am I thinking right now.
Choseol tried to shake off his jealousy and looked at the painter.
“Lie down to heal.”
The painter was preparing for treatment with a calm expression because he did not know what she was thinking.
“yes.”
flutter.
Choseol boldly took off her clothes, leaving only one underwear.
Other times I leave two underwear, but today I only have one left.
In an instant, the fireman swallowed the wind.
Unlike before, the purulent marks on her body were almost gone.
Of course, it hadn’t become as smooth as white jade yet, but the body itself was already a gift from God, so I had no choice but to steal the painter’s gaze at once.
‘Very great. After all, I was good at being a doctor.’
He had no time to ask why he took off his underwear.
I was just grateful for the moment, and as soon as she lay down, I was able to find my composure.
sparkle.
Choseol felt a little comforted when he saw the painter swallowing the wind.
‘Yes, I’m not dead yet! Even though Lanhua is pretty, she’s not inferior to me.’
While being spit on, Cho Seol made up his mind to join Hao Mun, an organization that Lu Zhu had long encouraged him to join.
If you gain strength, you will be able to secretly help the painter whom you secretly long for.

‘Why can’t I see clairvoyance anymore?’
Every time the painter saw a patient complaining of abdominal pain, he felt a thirst for clairvoyance that had disappeared.
Of course, the disease is judged through knowledge, but it is almost impossible to find the disease name only by symptoms. If only the clairvoyance ability returned, I would be able to treat much faster and more accurately than now… If
it hadn’t worked from the start, I wouldn’t have tried this or that, but it didn’t work, so it was frustrating.
Whenever the fireman had time, he was catching innocent mice and making various attempts for clairvoyance.
gulp.
Obo squatted next to the fireman and swallowed his mouth as he watched the squeaking and dying rats.
“Eh, you can’t do this.”
A sigh escaped the fireman’s mouth, and Obo’s eyes sparkled.
“Sir, can I eat this?”
“Yes, take it and bake it.”
“thank you.”
When the painter, who had not succeeded in clairvoyance today and had a headache, robbed himself of his bed and got up, Obo hurriedly took the dead mice and disappeared.
“Anyway, patients are rare these days.”
The painter looked around the leisurely clothing room.
In fact, this was a phenomenon that occurred because most of the patients not only in Sochon but also in the surrounding villages were treated for serious illnesses.
Of course, some patients still come for acupuncture, but in fact, such patients were non-emergency patients whose lives were not affected even without acupuncture.
“The number of visits from far away has increased… The days are getting quite cold, so do we have to dress up after the winter?”
In fact, the painter had no intention of settling down in this village from the beginning.
Anyway, in a few years, the era of chaos will come when the whole country is noisy due to war. No matter how noble he was, he could not be punished if the war broke out.
Unless it was meant to be a punishment and treating only soldiers in the military, it was better to see the timing in advance and wander the world to practice medicine.
The fireman thought it was much more meaningful and safer.
“Get out of the way! It’s dangerous, so get out of the way!”
At that time, I saw a carriage hurriedly running down the narrow road with someone’s cry in the distance.
Because Sochon was a slum, the roads were not wide enough for a wagon to run that fast.
“That crazy!”
A curse came out of the fireman’s mouth.
I saw a kid who couldn’t avoid the carriage even though he saw it, was hit by a wheel and flew to the side of the stream.
“Ah!”
with a plop.
Hiii Ying …..
“System like this. I’m dying in a hurry Of course…”
“Dang!”
A man who seemed to be a coachman hurriedly stopped the wagon, but the child was already hit by a wheel and toppled over to the side of the stream.
The child’s father saw the scene belatedly and hurriedly ran to it, and the fireman also jumped over the bush fence instead of the door and ran to the stream where the child was lying.
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh …
”
A small child who looks about eight or nine years old. The painter knew that the child was one of the village children who called Ohbo his brother and followed him around.
“Dang dang dang dang!”
“I’ll take a look.”
The father of the little boy named Dang already knew the painter, so when he saw the painter, he trembled and hurriedly handed over the child.
“Mr. My son, Dang… Ma is not seriously injured, is he?”
“I’ll take a look first.”
The fireman rubbed the back of the crying Dangi and laid him down on the flat ground next to the stream.
“Tsk, if you saw the carriage coming, you should have hurriedly got out of the way. From the looks of it, I don’t think he was hurt too badly. This will be enough money for treatment.”
At that moment, the coachman got out of the carriage and came to the place where the three were, took out a few pennies and threw them.
jingle.
For a moment, the painter stopped examining him and looked at the coachman with a puzzled expression.
“This guy!”
However, Dang Yi’s father could not hold back his anger and jumped up and swung his fist at the coachman.
“Hey, if you see a child on the road, you should stop the wagon!”
pug.
Tangyi’s father’s fist was thrust into the coachman’s face, and the coachman stumbled back a step.
Tang Yi’s father, as if hitting him once did not relieve his anger, he immediately grabbed the coachman by the collar and tried to punch him.
snap.
But the second punch was caught by the coachman’s hand.
“The first one was corrected because there was my mistake, but the second one didn’t work.”
Stumble.
As soon as the coachman shoved his fist away, Tangyi’s father spun like a top and collapsed into the stream.
