I Reincarnated as a Legendary Surgeon - Chapter 16
Episode 16. Gagigong is real (1)
“I heard that you ate not only breakfast but also lunch in your room. What on earth were you doing?”
In response to the older brother’s question, the painter chewed and swallowed the rice in his mouth and looked at the younger brother’s face.
Flowerpot, like his older brother, had a curious expression on his face.
“I copied the acupuncture book I borrowed from Congressman Bong.”
The fact that he made a book called Sinchimseo was hidden even by his older brother.
“I copied an acupuncture book!”
At the moment of questioning Hwabok’s voice, his anger was young.
“yes.”
“If you are curious about acupuncture, you can read it once, but why did you even copy it? Are you thinking of becoming a senator?”
The painter was planning to become a doctor against the wishes of his brother or mother, so he did not shrink at all and confidently faced his brother while listening to his angry voice.
“yes. I want to become a member of parliament.”
“What? are you crazy Did you know that your mother sent you to study abroad in Seoju only to make you a doctor?”
Crying.
Hearing his brother’s words, the painter felt something hot rising in the moment.
I know the times and I know the value of good reputation.
However, he is angry at his words that seem to ignore medicine. No, Han Jin-soo’s spirit has awakened.
“Why does a doctor who heals the sick and saves people who are dying use the trivial expression of ‘just’?”
“A life of acupuncture, moxibustion, draining pus, and applying plasters is insignificant, then is it precious?”
“By doing so, the sick will be healed and the dying will live.”
“It’s not that it’s bad for lawmakers to fix people. What I’m talking about is the life you should aim for. You should be thinking of doing the big thing of helping the Emperor and enriching the lives of the people by accumulating the wisdom of the ancestors through books, so why are you trying to do a trivial job like a doctor?
“Shouldn’t your older brother do the big job of raising the family after passing the state examination in the past? I want to become a doctor and heal sick people like my mother.”
“I understand that you are interested in medicine because of your mother’s illness, but giving up on the past is unacceptable.”
“My life is what I decide, not what my brother decides.”
“What! You’ve been wandering around outside without reading lately, so you’re out of your mind.”
Flowerpot put the chopsticks on the table hard enough to make a clicking sound.
The painter was not at all intimidated by his brother’s bloody eyes and was confident.
“My mind is very clear. And no matter what my older brother says, I will not give up on my path as a member of parliament.”
“You are crazy! Sadaebu will give up the past and become a member of the parliament? Are you going to disgrace the family?”
“Being a nobleman doesn’t mean you have to be an official to assist the emperor unconditionally. And to be honest, my father and grandfather also took the past exam all their lives, but in the end, didn’t they die without being able to manage it?”
“My father and grandfather couldn’t do it, so shouldn’t you do it too?”
“Are your father and grandfather unable to be managed because they lack skills?”
“What? What do you want to say?”
The angry brother’s lips trembled.
The painter’s words were shameful things that a descendent of the Fah family should not dare to say.
“In fact, no matter how many books your older brother reads and does well on tests, do you think his results will be different from those of your father or grandfather? Isn’t your older brother unaware that Tensangshi’s adoptive son is in charge of Chohyeon, and now he can’t get a government job without paying a bribe!”
“You, you, you, are you saying you want to look at me and become a rotten scholar who buys official positions with bribes?”
“I am not saying that my brother should become a rotten scholar, but that the current world, not the officials, are rotten. And I don’t want to be in an office full of rotten people.”
“…..”
The fireman’s words must have hit the mark, and Hwabok couldn’t bear to speak and kept his mouth shut.
“No matter what my brother says, I will become a doctor who saves people from dying and heals the sick.”
The painter put down his chopsticks and got up.
“Wow Wonhwa. Come with me.”
When the fireman came out, the little brother’s flower pot hurriedly followed.
The flower pot’s face resembled that of an escapee escaping from a volcanic island about to explode.
As the painter walked silently, the pot stood next to him and walked with him, then at some point grabbed his sleeve.
“why?”
“Why, you told me yesterday that you could hit me ten times by stabbing me ten times. And he said he would prove it.”
There was a look of bewilderment on the servant’s face.
“Does Tongue hyung sound like that in this situation?”
“How is this situation? In fact, not only we but also the servants under us know that being an official without bribery is a long way off. It’s just that everyone can’t talk like you do in front of your brother or mother.”
“Your brother didn’t know that he couldn’t be managed without a bribe?”
“How could you not have known? Even though I knew it, I pretended not to know it.”
“Your mother knows, right?”
“Why do you keep asking about the obvious?”
“It’s just complicated.”
“When you’re confused, it’s best to shed a cool sweat. Let’s go to the backyard.”
“Your brother is also dizzy.”
“Are you going or not?”
“let’s go. go.”
The painter shook his head as he followed his brother.
‘He seems a bit immature, but for some reason he is more affectionate than his older brother.’
* * *
Backyard with lanterns brightly illuminating the surroundings.
“omg!”
The pot was unable to close its gaping mouth.
Tak tok tok.
After a cheerful sound rang three times in succession, the fireman’s feet, which had risen into the air, landed on the floor.
“how is it? Do you believe me now?”
The pot nodded frantically, looking alternately at the wooden sword in the painter’s hand and the three stones tied to a string shaking in the air.
“Two days ago, I stabbed 10 times and couldn’t get it right…. You really are my younger brother Wonhwa, right?”
Seeing his brother’s reaction, the painter naturally became proud.
In fact, even when I followed my brother to the backyard, I was afraid that it would be like the crazy stabbing I had two days ago.
However, the moment I took the wooden sword that my older brother handed me, the feeling from two days ago came back like a lie.
While taking a deep breath and warming up lightly, I could see that the sensation was clearly imprinted on my body, and I was able to demonstrate this wonderfully.
“If I’m not my brother or sister, who would be my brother or sister?”
“That’s right.”
The pot shook his head as he answered.
And when he looked at the fireman again, his eyes had changed from doubts or surprises to proud ones.
“Until now, I only thought you were a genius who read well, but today I see that you have a natural talent for martial arts.”
The flowerpot spoke and hung three more threads from the tree to hang the pebbles.
“Currently, the number of stabs I can do in one breath is six. Of course, not all 6 times succeed. 5 succeeds, sometimes at the end and sometimes not.”
Flower pot raised a wooden sword and lowered his posture, catching his breath.
And then he spoke.
“I’ll show you the best stab I can. Of course, I don’t mean to see you. I just have to think that knowing that there are stabs like this will help me in training.”
The pots hung stones in different directions and even hit them with a wooden sword to make them all shake.
The six unfixed stones swayed wildly, making my eyes dizzy.
“Look Carefully.”
“yes.”
gulp.
The painter swallowed dry saliva.
‘You can stab everything that shakes like that?’
I even thought that the posture of the flowerpot was like a crouching tiger before attacking its prey.
Dig.
In an instant, the flower pot’s body floated into the air, and the wooden sword began to reach toward the stones like a beam of light.
‘Great!’
The fireman’s eyes suddenly became round.
Although it was a short moment, the hyung’s movements clearly entered his eyes as if he were watching a slow video.
Tat tat tat tat.
Six stones roared and scattered in all directions, and the flowerpot landed lightly like a cat.
“Whoa~. I got all 6 right. Did you see it?”
“Yes. It’s amazing.”
“If you can stab like this, even if you encounter a group of bandits, you won’t be easily defeated.”
“I guess so.”
The fireman nodded his head frantically like a child.
“Then I’ll practice stabbing later when I have time, and today I’ll teach you blocking.”
“stem? all right.”
“First you attack me with a wooden sword.”
“yes.”
The painter acknowledged his brother’s skills and lowered his posture with a wooden sword.
“going.”
Papapat.
In two steps, I closed the distance with my brother and stabbed a wooden sword in the eye.
Shuaak.
At that moment, the flowerpot’s wooden sword drew a semicircle and tried to hit the painter’s wooden sword.
‘Bo looks. Now I can see his movements.’
Two days ago, I couldn’t notice his movements at all, but somehow now I could see everything from the moment his shoulder flinched to the twist of his wrist.
The fireman did not stab the wooden sword he had stabbed to the end, but retrieved it and stabbed it again towards his chest.
“oh!”
The pot was not surprised, but rather admired.
Then, he swung the wooden sword that was drawing a half circle in reverse and tried to strike the fireman’s wooden sword again.
Shuk.
The painter saw his brother’s wooden sword, retrieved it again, and stabbed it again toward the shoulder.
‘I can’t be careless with this.’
The flower pot, as if surprised, opened its eyes wide, cut the fireman’s wooden sword at an incomparable speed, and swung it again as if drawing a semicircle.
widely. Wow.
‘Ugh! I can’t see any movement.’
The fireman was embarrassed when he missed his brother’s movements even though his concentration was at its peak.
The wooden sword in his hand was blown away in a single collision, and his older brother’s wooden sword flew towards his neck, cutting through the air.
Papapat.
The foot that jumped up had landed on the ground, so I hurriedly stepped back.
‘omg! Suddenly?’
But I felt a cold sensation on my neck.
The potted plant, which approached at a faster speed than the fireman stepped back, was holding a wooden sword against his neck before he knew it.
“ha-. It was a stab of conversion, but it is very easily blocked.”
When the painter licked his lips with regret, he took a step back, retrieving the wooden sword the flower pot was aiming at.
“amazing! It is incomparable to what it was two days ago.”
The flower pot was in a state of astonishment beyond surprise, and even goose bumps were sprouting up its spine.
The younger brother, who did not even have the basics of swordsmanship, saw his movements in just two days and responded appropriately.
Of course, I didn’t do my best, but even so, this was growth beyond common sense.
‘Chuck genius! This guy has a natural talent for martial arts!’
While the pot was shocked, the fireman picked up a wooden sword lying far away.
The flower pot opened her mouth, clearing her astonished heart, only when the painter took a posture in front of her again.
“The first time I stabbed you, I thought it would end with being able to block it easily, but to read my movements and avoid it, stabbing me two more times in a row. amazing.”
“Even though it was great, my brother eventually stopped it.”
“You blocked it, but you made me nervous in just two days, so your quality is truly amazing.”
“Are you nervous? It doesn’t look like that at all.”
When the painter made a sullen expression, the pot shook his head and raised his wooden sword.
“I was really surprised. I’ll stab you this time, so stop it. Did you see how it was blocked?”
“yes.”
“As expected, you have a natural talent for martial arts.”
“Come on, attack.”
“I get it.”
Papapat.
In an instant, the momentum of the flower pot changed, and a lightning-like sting came in aiming for the ship.
‘fast!’
The painter was surprised at the much faster movement than before, but he was preparing in advance, so he drew a half circle with his wooden sword and tried to hit his brother’s wooden sword.
sneak
For an instant, the wooden sword of the flowerpot seemed to disappear, and then stabbed again in the neck.
‘This is too fast.’
It felt overwhelming to stand still and block it.
He stepped back and swung his wooden sword, but his older brother’s wooden sword disappeared from sight again.
creepy.
In an instant, I felt a terrifying force in my stomach that made the hair on the back of my neck stand on end.
