Chapter 143

Episode 143. Did you save someone from dying? (2)

Cheongju-gun retreated, but for some reason, all the wounded who came to be treated by Hwabu’s party were only those who were recently injured.

Hwabu saw the patients brought by Eulji’s men and thought that they might be the remnants of the retreating Cheongju Army.

The painter called Eulji to a quiet place to check if his guess was correct.

“sorry. Mr. Hwa. I should have told you earlier...”

“I guess you didn’t say it on purpose. I’m afraid I won’t treat them if they say they’re remnants of Cheongju County. Right?”

“I’m so sorry. I didn’t intend to fool Congressman Hwa at first... but I felt so sorry for the dying people. Please punish me.”

Eulji seemed to be on his knees right now.

Seeing him like that, the painter hurriedly waved his hand.

“What are you punishing? I told you last time. On the battlefield, if you’re wounded, you’ll treat them no matter which side you’re on. And they are just grassroots, as the bishop said. what.”

“Thank you for understanding this.”

“Only I know, so don’t tell the disciples.”

“All right.”

The fireman smiled and approached the wagon.

In just a few days, the three disciples, who became bolder and quicker in judgment, were busy treating patients.

‘Yes, field practice is the best way to improve your skills.’

“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaѕѕr .....”

A scream was heard from far away;

The painter’s footsteps naturally moved toward the patient.

Next to the bandaged left arm lay the patient’s forearm, which appeared to have been severed.

Until now, only a fireman could perform the joint surgery to attach the severed arm.

When a patient with a severed forearm appeared, the eyes of the three disciples flashed.

An operation that they had not yet been allowed to do was scheduled to be performed soon.

‘I don’t know who did it, but I cut it cleanly at once so it’s easy to paste.’

After pouring the anesthetic into the patient’s mouth, the painter quickly removed the bandage and smiled bitterly.

Most of the joining surgeries in the future era are operations due to industrial accidents or traffic accidents, so the cut section is rough and the bones are often crushed, so the surgery itself was very difficult.

However, most of the patients undergoing joint surgery here had clean cuts.

It’s because the master cut it off with a knife.

“Jang Ho-beop, please tie him to the patient’s bed.”

“yes.”

While Janggoe tied the unconscious patient to the bed, the fireman and his disciples prepared for surgery.

‘This field isn’t even my specialty... but now it’s become almost like my specialty.’

The students’ surgical skills also improved, but the fireman’s own surgical skills improved to the point that the future Han Jin-soo could not even show his business card.

Usually, these surgeries are performed by a combination of orthopedics and plastic surgeons.

“Look.”

“Your master.”

“You connect the veins and arteries.”

“yes! me?”

Obo’s eyes widened. Until now, the splicing operation was done by the fireman alone, and they only assisted.

“Can’t you?”

“You can.”

“You know you have to connect the vein first.”

“yes.”

When the painter fixed the cut surface of the forearm, Obo quickly began to connect the blood vessels with his hands.

Even if you think of common sense, if the person who led such a group was a righteous army, they should have come and greeted them after defeating the enemy.

Yu said that he had no time to be greeted because he was wandering between death and death at the time, but it was not a gun barrel.

“Huh~. What’s going on... I’ll have to call my adjutants right away to investigate.”

“If it’s noisy, it’s better to investigate it secretly, as it may alert those we don’t know yet.”

“You mean this?”

Yu-dae and Po-sin quietly called the officers and tried to find out the identity of the outstanding righteous soldiers, but for some reason, even the officers did not know.

While investigating, Judeo and Poshin learned one more thing.

It was that the people who saved the city from danger were no longer in the county.

The large army, which seemed to number 7,000 to 8,000, not just a few dozen or a few hundred, disappeared without a trace.

coo kung.

Yu-dae and Po-shin received a great shock as if they had been hit in the back of the head by something like a large hammer.

“It’s not that I’m possessed by a ghost... I’ve definitely seen it, but what does this mean?”

Yu-dae was half dazed, but Poshin quickly came to his senses and looked at the whole situation calmly.

“At least 7,000 people were seen as a large army, so even if they secretly disappeared in the middle of the frenzy, there must be people who have seen or seen traces of their movement.”

After hearing Poshin’s words, Judea also came to his senses.

“That’s right.”

After a while, Poshin called Woogeum to search for traces of the soldiers who had disappeared like ghosts.

Woo-geum, who was patrolling around the capital city looking for a fireman, received an order from Po-sin and started an investigation by separately selecting those who were good at tracking.

* * *

“I will only treat this patient, so don’t bring any more.”

The disciples cheered at the fireman’s words, but Eulji’s men, who had been bringing patients from somewhere, looked puzzled.

“Have we made any mistakes?”

“no. It is because if I continue to treat like this, not only me but also the disciples will collapse.”

When the painter pointed out the three disciples, Eulji’s men were speechless.

In fact, even in their eyes, the fireman and his disciples treated the sick with the lamps on until late in the evening, and sometimes even until dawn, except for the time to eat and go to bed in the morning.

“All right.”

“Not only today, nor in the future, I will not treat patients after sunset.”

“In the future? Maybe.....”

“The reason was told a while ago. It’s not like I’m treating patients for a day or two, but I have to continue treating patients in the future, but if I keep working too hard like this, the clinic will collapse before the patient.”

“sorry.”

“It’s nothing to apologize to me, so don’t bow your head.”

“I see. Starting tomorrow, we will select more patients.”

When Eulji’s men left, the fireman called Okju to get alcohol and meat.

After the treatment of the last patient was finished, the painter ordered all three disciples to wash and change into clean clothes, and then washed himself and changed into clean clothes.

“Master, what day is it today?”

When Obo, who had washed first, made a curious expression while looking at the alcohol and snacks on the table and the meat being grilled next to him, the painter shrugged his shoulders and said,

“Let’s eat like people. If this happens, we will die first. Don’t think too hard, just eat it.”

“yes.”

Obo tilted his head and sat down.

The teacher pretended not to say anything, but it felt like it was a different day than usual.

After a while, even Byeon-ah and Pyeon-seon changed their clothes and appeared, and the grilled meat was placed on the table.

After pouring alcohol for the three disciples, the painter also received the alcohol poured by Oh Bo.

“Everyone worked hard today. Drink.”

“yes.”

As the three disciples drank, they thought that sooner or later they would hear why the painter was creating such a mood.
