Taejonbirok Volume 3 Episode 7

Chapter 19 – The Gate of Medicine (2)

“This is a medical clinic. I don’t know about anything else, but cleanliness is very important. If someone walks around in unclean clothes and body in a place where sick patients come and go, it will be a nuisance to the patients. So please wash up.”

Wi Yeon-ho nodded with a serious face.

Jin So-ah was delighted at the thought that Wi Yeon-ho had finally understood what she was saying. However, she couldn't help but feel discouraged by what she heard next.

“Don’t worry. I’m not leaving here. If you do, I won’t even open the door.”

Jin So-ah looked at Wi Yeon-ho with her eyes wide open.

No matter what he said, no matter what he asked for, no matter what he did… … he was a flawed person from the start.

They were closer to beasts than humans.

'Still, when animals are hungry, they hunt and go to the water'

Isn't he worse than an animal?

What Jin So-ah couldn't understand was how a person like this could have received a letter of introduction from her uncle. Before he was their uncle, Moon Yu-hwan, a scholar of the Three Kingdoms, was a man famous throughout the world for his noble character.

Jin So-ah couldn't understand why Moon Yu-hwan sent such a scoundrel here, even writing a letter of introduction.

'Are you a scammer?'

The fact that he knew about the relationship between Moon Yu-hwan and his father was a problem for a conman.

Jin So-ah, who had been watching Wi Yeon-ho empty the table for a while, shook her head and got up from her seat.

“Enjoy your meal.”

“Yeah, thanks.”

Wi Yeon-ho smiled brightly with duck fat on his lips.

Even that appearance was horrible, Jin So-ah.

“Is he still doing that?”

Jin So-ah shuddered as if she didn't even want to think about it.

“Yes, Sister. Since the first day, he has been stuck on the floor of his room without moving. Except when he eats or goes to the side room, I have never seen him stand or even sit down. It has been more than seven days and nights already.”

Jin Ye-ran ended up laughing at Jin So-ah's complaint.

How long had it been since her sister had expressed her feelings like this?

After her father passed away and the family fortunes fell, she was always a child who acted like an adult, even though she was not her age. Perhaps the guest who stayed in the guest room really irritated Jin So-ah.

“What are you so upset about?”

“I have never seen such a lazy person in my life.”

“So that guy did something to you?”

“That’s not it.”

Jin Ye-ran nodded.

“Then you too should not speak ill of him. No matter how much you dislike him, he came to you by the hand of your father.”

Even Jin So-ah, who would have normally agreed, responded with a disgruntled expression, as if she couldn't back down this time.

“Even though he is my father’s guest, I don’t know how long I will have to feed and house a useless person here.”

“You said you came to see a doctor. If you see and feel something, you should go your own way.”

“How can I see a doctor while lying in the room? And how can I pay for the food that person eats?”

“You don’t have to worry about money.”

"but……."

“You are a member of the National Assembly. Just worry about saving people’s lives. Leave the small stuff like money to me.”

Jin So-ah had a very discontented look on her face, but she didn't really say anything back. Since her father passed away, no, even before that, Jin Ye-ran had been like a mother to him.

Jinsoah got up from her seat.

“I'll go out.”

"okay."

Jin So-ah opened the door and went outside. Jin So-ah looked up at the sky and sighed deeply.

“Ugh.”

Squeak.

At that moment, the door to Wei Yanho's room opened, and Wei Yanho came out staggering with his eyes half-closed.

Jin So-ah, who saw that sight, smiled brightly and approached Wi Yeon-ho.

“So you feel like washing up!”

Wi Yeon-ho looked Jin So-ah up and down as if asking what she was talking about, then said as if it was nothing.

“Oh, don’t worry about me. It’s a little cold in the room today, so I’m going up to the roof to sleep.”

"yes?"

“It’s warm and nice. Do you want to come up together?”

Jin So-ah looked at Wi Yeon-ho with a dejected expression and shook her head.

“Okay.”

“Then don’t worry.”

Wi Yeon-ho laughed heartily and jumped onto the thatched roof. Jin So-ah looked at Wi Yeon-ho with surprised eyes.

'Were you a martial artist?'

Anyone who could jump up onto a roof in one go was considered to have mastered martial arts.

'Even so… … .'

Even if he is a martial artist, it is unlikely that someone as lazy as that would have any abilities that are superior to others. It is likely that he must have picked up some skills somewhere.

“Tsk tsk.”

Jin So-ah clicked her tongue and turned around.

Whether Jin So-ah clicked her tongue or not, Wi Yeon-ho yawned while lying on the thatched roof.

“Ugh.”

After learning the Dreaming Skill, no matter how much he slept, he would still fall asleep. Although Baek Mu-han had taught Wi Yeon-ho the Dreaming Skill out of concern for his laziness, Wi Yeon-ho's laziness actually worsened because of the Dreaming Skill.

It was a side effect that even Baek Mu-han could not have imagined.

“No matter how much I sleep, I still feel sleepy…….”

In the past, even eight hours of sleep a day was not enough for Wei Yanhu, but after learning the Dreaming Skill, he started sleeping so much that he even thought it was excessive. No matter how much he slept, he had to practice in his dreams, so his fatigue did not go away and he ended up sleeping even more.

“I don’t know. Then I’ll just sleep more.”

It was Wei Yanho who thought comfortably.

If worrying about it won't lead to a solution, it would be better to at least relax.

Wi Yeon-ho turned his head slightly and looked down.

Jin So-ah was walking around the rooms examining the patients.

The daily routine of the member of parliament, Wei Yeon-ho, was very simple.

They look after patients who come to the hospital and care for patients whose condition is critical and who must stay at the hospital to receive treatment.

“It’s not really that difficult…….”

It seemed that learning medicine was hard work, but practicing medicine was not hard work. All I did was examine the patient's details, insert acupuncture needles, and boil medicine.

The really difficult thing wasn't seeing the patients.

“You are better now, so you can go home.”

“Oh, sir. Thank you. But I have nothing to give you right now…….”

“When things get better later, please help me then.”

“Congressman, how can I repay this favor…….”

Wi Yeon-ho clicked his tongue.

It didn't cost money to put in a needle, but it did cost a lot of money to use medicine. Since medicines are hard to obtain, they tend to be expensive, and there was no way that medicine made with expensive medicines would be cheap.

Since he treated people with such medicine and did not receive any money, there was no way the doctor could make a living.

Because I wasn't receiving proper treatment, I was always short of money, and because of that, I couldn't even dream of really expensive medicines or expensive procedures.

As a result, people with money went to other hospitals, and only people without money found out about Seongsujang through word of mouth and came. In the end, only people without money flocked to the hospital, and the more the hospital was run, the more money was lacking, which was a vicious cycle.

That was also the reason why Wi Yeon-ho had difficulty finding the holy water clinic at first. Because they provided free treatment, people called this place a free clinic instead of a holy water clinic.

If Wei Yanho had asked where they could treat patients for free, many people would have found it easily without hesitation.

'You dig the ground to do business.'

Other people might have been moved by the congressman's kindness, but Wi Yeon-ho felt sorry for them.

That was when.

“Behold!”

A series of groups of people rushed into the assembly hall.

Jin So-ah screamed in surprise at the sight of the crowd rushing in.

“What’s going on!”

A dozen patients on stretchers were carried in behind a group of people. Jin So-ah, who was lost in thought, asked about the situation.

“What happened?”

“These are laborers working in the quarry! They were badly injured by a rockfall! We brought in only those who were still breathing.”

“This, this…….”

A patient who looked at first glance as if he was about to suffocate has been given a life sentence.

“Sister! Come out quickly!”

The door opened wide and Jin Ye-ran ran out.

Jin Ye-ran looked around and quickly grasped the situation and shouted.

“Triage the patients! Send the critically ill patients to the inpatient ward immediately, and the non-critical patients to the outpatient ward. Quickly!”

“Yes! Sister!”

Jinsoah shouted.

“Send this patient, that patient, and the patient over there to the other room, and prepare hot water.”

“Yes, sir!”

“And the remaining patients……”

Jin Ye-ran shouted.

“Put it down!”

"yes?"

“There’s no time to go in. Get those people on the ground now!”

At the sound of Jin Ye-ran’s commanding voice, those who were carrying the patients on stretchers hurriedly placed them on the floor. Jin Ye-ran immediately ran to the patients and took out the gold needles she had in her arms.

Then he started poking gold needles into my clothes.

“Sister!”

“What are you doing! Can’t you see the other patients? Are you planning to kill them all?”

“Oh, I understand!”

Jin So-ah also quickly bandaged the wounds that were gushing blood and inserted golden needles into the patients' blood vessels.

'I don't have enough hands!'

Jin So-ah worked her hands in a hurry, but there was a limit to the number of patients she could treat at the same time. There were seven patients who would die if she didn’t take action right away, and it was impossible for Jin So-ah and Jin Ye-ran to treat them all alone.

'Even just one person… … .'

At the moment, the only people in Seongsujang who could properly perform the procedure were Jin So-ah and Jin Ye-ran. The general who had some level of first aid skills went to get some medicine, and the doctors who were taking care of the patients were of poor skill and could not be of much help.

“Ugh.”

Jin So-ah swore while wrapping her arms around the chest of the patient who was shaking.

The patient's chest was split open and if I took my hand off now, the patient would stop breathing.

“Coolook!”

At that moment, the patient right next to me started vomiting blood.

“Krrrrr!”

Jin So-ah's face turned black and dead. The blood she had vomited was blocking her airway. If she didn't take immediate action, her airway would be blocked and she would die. But he couldn't let go, and Jin Ye-ran seemed to be in the same situation.

'no!'

At that moment, someone's legs appeared before his eyes.

Jin So-ah raised her head in delight. Wi Yeon-ho was clicking his tongue with a face covered in boogers.

“Tsk tsk, you’re badly hurt.”

Wi Yeon-ho looked around at the patients lying on the floor and groaning, then clicked his tongue and shook his head.

“Be careful.”

Then he clicked his tongue and turned around.

Jinsoah shouted in panic.

“Where are you going?”

“Huh? Are you going to your room?”

“Please help me!”

Wi Yeon-ho tilted his head as if asking what he was talking about.

“Help? What kind of medical help can I possibly provide? It would be a hundred times better to just ask the servants for help.”

“I heard that the unmanned vehicles learn some first aid for external and internal injuries in case they get hurt!”

"yes."

“So, wouldn’t it be possible to provide emergency treatment for trauma patients like this?”

Wi Yeon-ho shook his head.

“Normally, that’s how it should be, but I don’t know because I only learned it roughly through my own skills.”

Jinsoah's face distorted.

Then, Wi Yeon-ho protested as if he was being treated unfairly.

“I told you it’s true!”

It's true, but who would believe Wei Yanho's words since he has done something wrong? Even if it is unfair, it was all my karma.

“It’s true…….”
