I Reincarnated as a Legendary Surgeon - Chapter 279
Episode 279. Even if the world ends tomorrow, I will plant an apple tree. (2)
Parasites and weeds were mixed in the vomit.
“Did you try to vomit up parasites by eating grass?”
The dog put his nose to the vomit he had vomited, grunted, and tried to eat again.
The fireman hurriedly grabbed the dog by the neck and lifted it up.
Although it is a large dog, it was not that difficult to lift it because it was not even the weight of a child.
Next, he tried to cover the dog’s vomit by digging up the ground with his feet.
“His parasites wriggling so fiercely. If it comes out by vomiting, it has multiplied quite a lot in a few days.”
The wriggling of the parasite was like an earthworm trampled on by a foot, so the fireman paused covering the vomit with soil and examined it.
Choo Woo-wook…
But the parasites, which had been wriggling fiercely for a while, stopped moving for a moment and then died.
“uh?”
In an instant, the fireman’s eyes widened.
‘I wouldn’t die so easily… What killed him?’
Crouching down to examine the parasite closely, I saw that it was studded with very fine hairs.
‘Does this look like small foxtails?’
When I strained my eyes, I could see more clearly.
The painter picked up the parasite, placed it on the cotton cloth he was carrying, and carefully cut open the stomach with a knife.
Even on his stomach, he could see small hairs of foxtail grass.
Although it was split into small pieces, it was definitely foxtail hairs.
“Did this kill the parasite? If it is harmless to humans, it could be an insect repellent.”
For humans, it would be similar to swallowing a piece of meat with many needles stuck in it.
When the stomachs of several more parasites were opened, the cause was the same.
“I still have the meat I ate, so even if I vomited, all the parasites in my stomach wouldn’t have come out… Are those inside dead? Would I have lived?”
The fireman looked at the dog lying down in the shade.
I wondered if the parasites were still in the stomach and would eat the grass again, but the dog didn’t eat the grass anymore.
“I probably won’t. I’m going to open it up and see if any parasites left in the intestines are dead.”
Because clairvoyance couldn’t confirm it, splitting the boat was the surest way.
Knock.
When the fireman grabbed the back of the neck again, the dog was startled and struggled.
The fireman took the dog and went into the surgeon’s operating room.
“Master, why did you suddenly bring the dog into the operating room?”
As if the fireman’s behavior was regarded as an eccentricity, misinformation, beon-ah, and Lee Dang-ji came in soon.
“I’m trying to open this dog’s stomach.”
Puffpuffpuff…..
When the fireman put a few needles around the dog’s neck, the dog’s struggling movement stopped.
“You are probably the first dog to drink an anesthetic and undergo surgery.”
The fireman opened the blind dog’s mouth and forced him to drink an anesthetic, then ordered his disciples to bind the dog’s limbs and make it lie wide open.
“Why do you want to look inside the dog’s stomach?”
Bun-ah asked, and the painter washed the dog’s stomach with distilled spirits and then cut through it with a knife.
“We want to see if the parasite in this dog’s stomach is dead or alive.”
“ah! It looks like this dog Master has been experimenting with lately.”
“Yes.”
The painter did not intend to kill the dog, so he moved his hands carefully as if he were operating on a person.
After taking out the intestines and examining where the parasite might be, he used his clairvoyant powers to peer inside.
It is difficult to find parasites by looking through the entire body of a dog, but it was possible to find enough parasites by exposing only the intestines separately as now.
‘Parasite doesn’t move. It must be dead.’
Examining the lower intestines, I could see some parasites wriggling that hadn’t died yet.
‘Why didn’t the parasites in the lower intestine die? Could it be that the foxtail hairs haven’t gone all the way down yet?’
With my clairvoyance, I couldn’t see the hairs of the foxtail inside the intestines, so I had no choice but to open the intestines.
The dead parasites were definitely studded with fine hairs, and the body of the parasites also had fine hairs. And the living parasites have not yet reached the fine hairs.
‘Dog grass hair kills parasites. So what effect does this hair have on the body? As long as it doesn’t have any negative effects, it could be used as an insect repellent.’
After inspecting the parasite, the painter inspected the wall corresponding to the intestine’s ridge.
The intestines were covered with fine hairs to absorb nutrients.
Between the ridges, I could see some foxtail hairs.
The painter picked up the fine hairs on the quilt with a needle holder and touched them with his fingertips.
‘uh! It’s softer than expected. I thought it would be like a thorn. Is it dissolved in gastric juice?’
This is enough to pass through the stool, but not enough to penetrate the intestines.
‘Well, if this amount of fine hair is enough to cause problems, people who ate wraps wrapped in pumpkin leaves are already in a frenzy. uh? So can pumpkin leaves also kill parasites?’
Although hypothetical, it was quite possible.
In fact, foxtail grass was also one of the grasses mixed in when boiling porridge in the past when barley hair was severe. So it’s not a grass that people can’t eat.
‘I’ll have to experiment some more with dog grass and pumpkin leaves.’
The fireman seemed to have found a way out of the dark tunnel.
I’m still not sure if this is an insect repellent, but I thought I could make an insect repellent through this.
‘I must save this dog!’
The painter meticulously performed surgery on the dog’s stomach just as he did on a human, and then closed the stomach.
* * *
The painter took foxtail grass and pumpkin leaves, blanched them, dried them, dug up the roots and boiled them, and soaked them in vinegar, etc., and processed them into various forms and tested them on animals.
And through such experiments, curiously, it was found that boiling foxtail roots and drinking them as tea is effective in killing parasites, and that pumpkin leaves are most effective when boiled and eaten.
“It worked for animals, so it should work for humans.”
The fireman tried repellent himself before feeding the orphans.
Although it seems that there are no parasites in the body, it could have side effects on people.
And the next day, I looked at the stool and checked for dead parasites in the stool.
“Fortunately, there are no parasites in my body.”
The fireman had the children of the orphanage eat porridge made with whole foxtails and wrapped in pumpkin leaves.
And although it was a little dirty, I had the children bring the stool they saw and analyzed it.
Also, like the monkeys and dogs, the children’s feces contained large amounts of dead parasites.
The fireman fed the children that way until no parasites came out of their stool.
After a few days, the color of the children’s faces began to improve.
The fireman called the lawmakers and disciples to make a large quantity of repellent, and then distributed it to families, orphans on the street, and beggars and slums to eat.
In addition, there was an enlightenment movement to encourage people to eat boiled or cooked food unconditionally.
Many people who took the repellent got rid of malnutrition and stomach upsets when the parasites in their stomachs disappeared.

“Your boss, Yu Bi-mok, has come.”
The fireman who was making insect repellent with his pupil jumped up when he heard that Liu Bei had arrived.
Liu Bi, who was promoted to the title of Yeju, was currently acting as a representative of the company in the capital city of Yeonam-gun according to the wishes of the fire department.
It wasn’t long before he came to see him in person.
“Yeah, I got it.”
When we went to the guest house, Liu Bei stood up and bowed her head.
“I see you.”
“Sit down. You can go and get some tea.”
“yes.”
When the servant went to pick up the tea, the fireman sat across from Liu Bei and asked.
“What is it that brought you here?”
“The Guo family has arrived from the imperial palace.”
“Kwak-ga? Isn’t he Joe’s mother-in-law?”
It won’t be that time has come back. If it is Guo Ga, it is not different from what I saw in the book in the past, he is a person and a confidant of Cao Cao. The fact that he came directly means that he came to convey something important.
My nerves were on edge, and a cold aura ran down my spine.
‘Why did you come here yourself?’
“yes. It is said that the emperor’s eoji was brought, but it seems to be Jojo’s will.”
“I guess so. Did you come with him?”
“no. I was the only one who moved quickly, taking him as an honored guest in the city.”
“Good job. It’s been a while since I’ve seen my family, but I didn’t expect to be gone this soon.”
Hwabu told his family and disciples the situation and headed to Yeonam-gun with Liu Bei.
While Hwabu was on his way to Yeonam-gun, he received a report from Myeong-il on what Kwak-ga was doing at the government office.
“Are you aware of the disease?”
“I inspected your military department, and also looked at the weapons and provisions you have.”
The painter was able to figure out why Guo Jia had come all the way here. It is to measure the power of the example.
‘Is Joe suspicious of me? Or are you wary?’
Neither is good.
Of course, the military was already divided in half, and even half of the remaining soldiers were returned to the world. Although Guo Jia is a very talented person, he will not be able to recognize the true power of Yu Zhu.
But anyway, seeing the other person’s intentions, the painter also had no choice but to be wary of Jojo to some extent.
“How much military rice do you have?”
“There are about 10,000 seats, but Guo Jia saw only 30% of them.”
The remaining 70% was kept by Hao Mun in various branches.
“Even if I searched the military camp, I wouldn’t have gotten anything.”
“Yes, but I am a little concerned that he might be suspicious.”
“After the big war, I won’t doubt it too much. Do you even know that the castles of Xuzhou surrendered and entered the city without blood?”
“The first thing Sunwoo did after becoming Cao Cao’s military was to reorganize the intelligence organization. It is said that he was distracted by the war in Luoyangseong, but since a lot of time has passed, he should be considered aware of it to some extent.”
“Well, they are not easy to see. I guess I’ll have to meet you and get you leveled up.”
Hwabu met Kwak Ga after arriving at the city government office in Yeonam-gun and received the fishery paper he had brought.
After a while, the painter, who opened the fishery, looked at Kwakga with both eyes wide open as if he was very surprised, although he had already expected it.
“Moving the capital to Hedo?”
“Your imperial castle in Luoyang is almost in ruins, so it is too shabby for Your Majesty to stay there. So my lord, Jo Bi-jeong-hu, suggested the transfer of the capital, and His Majesty sent me to Hwa-bu Sa-sa.”
Clearly, the fireman was aware of this situation.
It must have been the result of Cao Cao’s coercion of the emperor, but Guo Jia did not change the color of his face.
“It’s not an ordinary thing to move the ecliptic, right? I don’t think it will be easy with the opposition of the ministers, but is it okay?”
“Bijeonghu said that all you have to do is empty the heodo. Other preparations will be made by us, and the ministers have already agreed.”
Guo Jia did not add that he had killed all the ministers who opposed him as an example.
