I Reincarnated as a Legendary Surgeon - Chapter 148
Episode 148. (1)
Wearing a mask, hood, and sanitary uniform, Jojo made a strange expression as he watched the fireman and his disciples preparing for surgery.
‘Can I really open my head and save people?’
Although he believed in the fireman, doubts were constantly rising in a corner of his heart.
If you do this yourself, what about your subordinates?
If that operation failed, the wrath of the men could have reached the fireman.
Of course, he would provide protection to some extent, but how much power would protection have on the battlefield? While Jojo was thinking about various things, the painter shaved Jeongchu’s head and held a knife to his scalp.
Jojo widened his eyes.
People’s heads were really open.
squeak.
The painter, without hesitation, parted the scalp with his hand and stopped the bleeding with the pharynx. Then he turned the spiral-slotted awl against the skull and began to drill the hole.
‘Shouldn’t that be dried?’
Jojo’s body trembled as he watched the hole being drilled into his skull.
Took. Dripping…..
After a while, the fireman pulled out the spiral awl, and blood gushed out like spring water.
While the disciples cleaned up the gushing blood, the fireman drilled a few more holes in the same way. Then he put a sharp chisel between the holes and hit the back of the chisel with a hammer.
widely. Kwajik.
The sound of bones cracking was vivid in Jojo’s ears.
‘I’m going crazy. To break a man’s head like a mason carving a stone!’
Jojo was unaware of the fact that his foot took a step forward without realizing it. As much as that, Hwabu’s surgery made me unable to take my eyes off it even though my heart was trembling.
The painter put down his hammer and chisel, and when he uncovered the bone fragments with something like tongs, he saw a swollen dark red membrane.
When the spiral awl was pierced, the membrane must have been torn as well, and blood was pouring out there.
The painter also cut the membrane with a knife and wiped the blood inside.
‘The human brain looks like that.’
As Jojo looked at the brain exposed after the blood was wiped off, he thought that today was a truly rare spectacle.
‘If I wipe off all the blood, will Jeongchu live?’

Gulp.
While the painter was performing the craniotomy in the tent, Eulji, who was outside, was swallowing dry saliva while watching Jojo’s soldiers.
I believe in Hwabu’s great medical skills, but not all the patients who have been treated by Hwabu have survived. There are many people who have been saved, but there are far more people who have died than that.
Because of that, Eulji couldn’t be sure that he would save this surgery.
‘If the operation fails… I might be in big trouble.’
The spirit of the generals and cavalry brought by Cao Cao far exceeded that of the executioners.
If a fight breaks out, you will die.
‘No matter what happens, I’ll have to prepare in advance so that only Congressman Hwa can escape.’
snap.
As Eulji nodded, the executioners met eyes and gathered around the tent where the surgery was being performed.
The executioners made eye contact with Eulji for a while, then nodded with determined expressions.
No matter what happens, Congressman Hwabu saves.
‘These bastards’ movements are unusual!’
As the executioners gathered around the tent, the eyes of the Hahoo brothers and other generals became lifeless.
In the tent, a subordinate was undergoing surgery, but Jojo was also observing.
If things went urgent, Cao Cao could be in danger or become their hostage.
stride
When Xia Huyeon, the most impatient of the dogs, took a step forward toward the executioners, Zhao Ren sneaked in.
Ha Huyeon looked at Jo In with a slightly puzzled expression.
“Why are you blocking me?”
“If it is a surgery that requires opening the head, it must be a very delicate surgery. So, it is better not to make a fuss until the results come out.”
“Cho Ki-do Committee could be in danger.”
“Although they are wary, look closely. They are not hostile. So I don’t see any need for us to provoke.”
“If they are the remnants of the Yellow Turbans, there is no better opportunity than now.”
“If Boo is the remnant of the Yellow Turbans, I will offer my neck.”
“I heard that you were treated by Dr. Hwa, so it seems that you have an excessive crush on him.”
Ha Hu-yeon looked at the executioners with a disapproving expression.
At that time, Cao Hong stood next to Cao In and looked at Ha Huyeon.
“If you step out, it could be a real fight. So get out of here.”
“Hongi hyung!”
“Jo hyung believes in Hwa, so should you disbelieve Joe hyung?”
“Kuhm~. Got it. Since Hongi-hyung said that, I won’t provoke you any more, but I won’t back down.”
“Then stay like that.”
Xiahouyun turned her head slightly and looked at her younger brother Xiahoudon.
Xiahoudon slightly shrugged his shoulders, as if he had no intention of taking his brother’s side.
“Looks like they’re doing that because they’re worried about Congressman Hwa’s safety… If they did that much, they would have noticed your brother’s intentions, unless they were fools.”
“Kuhm~.”
Ha Huyeon cleared her throat and looked at the tent where the operation was taking place.
“Anyway, it seems like it’s been over an hour since the surgery started… Why is it taking so long?”
Ignoring the small commotion outside, the fireman’s surgery was already in the final stage.
“Sunyi should suture the scalp.”
“Your master.”
When the fireman gave up his seat to Pyeonseon and stepped back, Jojo asked with a look of surprise.
“Is the operation over now?”
“Yes, we are almost done.”
“Then, is Jeongchu able to live now?”
“Fortunately, the surgery went well and he will live.”
“Haha, you are great too. I’ve never heard of a person opening their head for treatment…”
The painter looked at Jojo, who was staring at Jeongchu’s head, with a strange expression.
‘Since you’ve planted people’s awareness of craniotomy, I wonder if they’ll have my surgery in the future….. I don’t know. Now that we’ve done what we can, let’s go to a faraway place where we can’t find it as we originally thought.’
“Let’s leave now. It looks like your hot-tempered brother’s subordinates are acting pretty impatiently outside.”
“Keuhum, it’s probably that Yeon-i is wary of your family.”
“Hahuyeon.”
“Yeah, he looks easy-going, but he’s quite cautious. Anyway, it will be solved if you and I go out together, so let’s go.”
“yes.”
When I came out of the tent, Eulji was the first to greet me.
“Chief Hwa, did the surgery go well?”
“yes. It’s fine, you don’t have to worry anymore.”
When the fireman came out, the executioners sneaked up on him.
Eulji sighed as he approached. When the fireman nodded and smiled at him, Eulji stepped aside as if relieved.
Jojo looked at Eulji and made a strange expression.
“Who are you?”
The painter looked at Eulji for a while and smiled.
“He is the one who came to help me. The battlefield is dangerous, so you stick to it.”
Jojo’s face frowned as the painter spoke in an incoherent manner.
“Then who are you?”
As the painter seemed to be thinking about it, Eulji stepped forward and bowed his head to Jojo first.
“It’s called Pilbu Eulji, which runs several Giru in Jinryu and Hoeyang.”
“If you’re running Giru… is it dark?”
Jojo looked at Eulji and Hwabu alternately, then widened his eyes as if slightly surprised.
“Yes, it is similar.”
“I don’t get along with wealth…”
“I was treated by Dr. Hwa in the past.”
“Hmm yes? Did you say Eulji?”
“yes.”
“Okay, if I have to go to Jinryu or Hoiyang later, I’ll let you hear Giru that you run it.”
“If the general comes, I will serve him with a special drink.”
When Eulji lowered his head again and stepped back, Jojo looked at him for a moment and then moved to the side of his men.
* * *
The high-flying atmosphere was easily relieved when Jojo said that he had taken the painter as his step-brother in the past.
Cao Cao ordered his men to return to the camp and bring wine and meat.
“ha ha ha! Giving orders behind the scenes is something only cowards like Dong Zhuo do. I have never been in the vanguard of a fight.”
After a few drinks, Cao Cao’s voice rose, and his younger brothers and sisters and other military commanders tried to make friends with Hwabu.
Although Jeong-chu has not woken up yet, he is not considered a stranger when he learns that he is Jojo’s step-brother in addition to the reputation of a painter known as Hwa-ta.
“Zhang Liang is also known to be a great general, so did your older brother cut Zhang Liang’s neck himself?”
“yes. I hurt my side a little while cutting Zhang Liang’s head, but you don’t have to worry about it because you’ve already been treated by Shi.”
While Jojo said that, he seemed to want you to pay close attention.
“Ei hyung-nim is injured, how can my younger brother not care? Kick your side once. I’ll take a look.”
“Is that so? It’s good to have Shinui as my younger brother.”
When Jojo rolled up his clothes to show his side, the fireman could see numerous scars on his body.
“Your brother has a lot of scars on his body.”
“I went to and from the battlefield without a day off for several months, but this is not a lot. By the way, Dongtak Jungnangjang probably doesn’t have any recent scars.”
“My older brother has particularly disliked Dongtak Jungnangjang since earlier.”
“I used to respect him. because he was competent But even if it changes now, it has changed too much. That’s why I’m a person I really hate now.”
“Have you ever bumped into your brother?”
“The plundering of private houses and the rape of children you mentioned earlier… are all done by soldiers under Dong Zhuo. Actually, I know that too… Because I am of a high rank, I endure it even if it seems like fire will come out of my mouth.”
“How did such a person come to Jungnangjang, where he is in charge of the army?”
“Now I have become a greedy pig who has met power, but when I was young, it was because I made a lot of contributions against barbarians. I heard that he got a taste for bribes while serving as governor of Hadong…. Even if he changed, he changed too much.”
Cao Cao clicked his tongue as if he felt sorry for Dong Zhuo, even though he hated him.
“okay.”
“By the way, are you planning to continue treating patients near the battlefield like this?”
“yes.”
“Wouldn’t that be dangerous?”
“It’s enough to protect my body.”
“If the soldier of Dong Tak Zhongnang saw you today, not me… it could have been dangerous.”
“If they threaten me, I’ll shout ‘Jo Gi-do-wi is my brother-in-law’.”
The hwabu has a shea sapae, but he deliberately did not mention it.
“What what!”
“why. Does your name not work for them?”
“What are you talking about? okay! Sell my name to anyone who doubts or wants to question you in the future.”
“If something really happens in the future, I will sell my older brother’s name.”
“Yes, sell it. I haven’t built up a false reputation that I can’t protect one of my brothers-in-law, so sell it as much as you like.”
Cao Cao exclaimed cheerfully and looked at his subordinate generals. Then the generals responded unanimously.
“Ha ha, I see. Very reassuring.”
“Instead, if I get hurt, you have to come and treat me anytime.”
“of course. I will run without hesitation, even if it is a thousand miles.”
“Hahaha…..”
The fireman drank happily with Jojo and his generals after a long time.
