I Reincarnated as a Legendary Surgeon - Chapter 49
Episode 49. Sponsored (1)
Although the military officers are quiet, the fact that Lieutenant Jo got tetanus after stepping on a stinger had already spread among the soldiers, and the news eventually reached Yeo Mun-ok, who had recently lost her second son, Cho Seong, to tetanus.
“What! In-yi got tetanus?”
The report was made by an old maid who was bent over.
“Yes ma’am.”
Stumble.
Even though Yeo Moon-ok was sitting, she stumbled so much that she couldn’t control herself.
“Oh, how could this be so absurd… God of Heaven and Earth, this can’t be like this. How do you allow something so cruel to happen?”
“Madam. You need to rest.”
“Let go. Do I look stable now? Where is Yin?”
“You are in the military.”
“Military! You don’t know when you’ll die of tetanus, but you’re a military man. Is it when you are doing something?”
“…..”
“I have to tell him to resign immediately and get treatment. I will go to the military now, so prepare yourself.”
Yeo Moon-ok stumbled and rose from her seat.
When she got up, the maid hurriedly helped her.
“Calm down, madam. When Bocchaninim leaves the hall and returns, it is enough to call him and talk to him.”
“Have you forgotten what Congressman Song said when Seong Yi died? Didn’t you say that if you started getting treatment a little sooner, you wouldn’t have died! It’s the same with Yin now. I can live if I get treatment from Congressman Song as soon as possible. I have to take In-i and go to Congressman Song right away.”
As Yeo Moon-ok started to walk, the older maid supported her and moved along with her.
When the older maid came out and gave orders to the younger maids, Gama quickly became a colonel.
“uh! Where are you going, mother?”
When Yeo Moon-ok was about to get into the palanquin, Jo Hong, the eldest son, saw it and approached.
“I’m going to Ini. Cham Hong, did you know that In-i got tetanus?”
“…..”
Cao Hong was quite taken aback, and when she couldn’t answer, her face turned red.
“I guess you knew because you couldn’t answer!”
“I’m sorry.”
“Why on earth did you not tell me about that serious matter? Do you happen to know a man named Abby?”
“Oh, mother’s subordinates are listening.”
“Is the attention of the lower ones important right now? Tell me right away.”
Yeo Moon-ok’s anger was so great that Cao Hong could no longer hide it and nodded.
“Even your father knows.”
“Then, wasn’t I the only one in the family who didn’t know that In-i had tetanus?”
“I’m afraid that will shock my mother…”
mate.
In an instant, Yeo Moon-ok’s hand slapped Jo Hong’s cheek.
“No matter how shocked I am, did that happen to hide now?”
“sorry.”
“Did that person tell you to hide?”
The human that Yeo Moon-ok was referring to was her husband and the father of her three sons who had fallen for the skirt of a young gisaeng whom she had recently taken as a concubine.
Not long after the death of her second son, her father was doing such a thing, so her insides burned black, and the emotion she hadn’t had was withered away as if she were seeing her enemy.
“Oh no. My father never said anything like that.”
“Then why the hell did you hide Ini’s affairs from me?”
“In-i was being treated by a doctor named Hwa-bu, but he said that he was getting better and asked not to tell his mother, so he didn’t tell me.”
“Looking at the driveway? Could it be that you cut off your feet already?”
Yeo Moon-ok’s eyes widened to the size of a lantern, and her hands and feet trembled.
“no.”
“Then how are you going to get better if you haven’t amputated your foot?”
“A doctor named Hwabu seems to have a special method of treating the foot without amputating it.”
“Specifically, what kind of treatment are you receiving? And the hwabu, a member of the council… Ah! Could it be that the doctor who treated the soldiers injured by the bandits was a fireman?”
Yeo Moon-ok remembered that the doctor Jo In brought to treat her second son, Jo, was a painter.
“The doctor who saved your deadly wounded soldiers is the painter.”
“In-yi said that the doctor’s medical skills were amazing, but even so, how could he cure tetanus without amputating his foot?”
“At first, I couldn’t believe In-i’s words, so I tried to inform my mother and bring Congressman Song. But the moment In-i showed me her feet being treated, I couldn’t help but believe it, so I didn’t tell my mother.”
“Is my foot really being healed?”
“yes. I also saw how Seong-i’s feet were festering, so I thought In-i’s feet were festering like that, but it wasn’t. And when I saw it a while ago, even my skin had found its color.”
“To the extent that you say that, it means that tetanus is really getting better, but to think that you were a doctor with that kind of medical skills….
“Mom, don’t jump too much. Even if a doctor with the last name Hwabu had treated her, she would probably have died.”
“Oh no. On the day In-yi brought a doctor named Hwa-bu, if I had entrusted Sung-yi’s treatment to him instead of Congressman Song… If so…
” But fortunately, the old maid next to him helped him, so he didn’t fall down.
“Oh mother. Mother…”
“I am fine. Don’t make a fuss.”
As Jo Hong approached, Yeo Mun-ok wiped the tears with her sleeve. She said she was okay, but she didn’t look okay at all.
“Mother, it is unreasonable to go to meet In-yi with a body like this. Please go inside.”
“I get it. Instead, send someone to bring Inyi.”
“All right. I’ll send someone right away to get Ini. Come on in.”
When Jo Hong nodded to one of the servants, the servant rushed outside.
* * *
Yeo Moon-ok looked at Jo In’s feet and made an expression of disbelief.
Even though the stitches were removed, Jo In’s feet still had stitch marks, so they were a little unsightly, but in her eyes, none of that mattered.
‘Seong’s feet were black and then gradually festered, but In-i’s feet had no such symptoms at all. Has the tetanus really been cured?’
Yeo Moon-ok opened her mouth as she looked at her son’s calm expression.
“Take a walk.”
“My mother is really well now.”
“hurry.”
“Ahh, I see. If it’s reassuring to see you walk, I’ll walk barefoot.”
Jo In even took off the shoes on her remaining feet and walked for a long time in front of her mother.
“Are you done now?”
“Jump high.”
“mother. Can’t you believe it after walking so many times?”
“Yeah, I still can’t believe it.”
“Eh~ I see.”
Jo-in trembled for a moment, saw her mother’s eyebrows go up, and hurriedly jumped and landed.
“Isn’t it possible that I used qigong to deceive my eyes?”
“If I had used qigong, I would have jumped much higher than this.”
“Then use my qigong and jump up.”
“All right. If I have to do that, I will do it if my mother is relieved.”
Dig.
Zoin jumped almost beyond his height and landed.
In an instant, Yeo Moon-ok’s eyes narrowed.
“How could you not run that far? If I use qigong to jump, won’t I be able to jump much higher than that just now?”
“I have been treated for tetanus, but I am still not fully healed. There are some after-effects. The painter said at least a month had to pass before the aftereffects would go away, so we still have more than 15 days left.”
When Cao In shrugged, Yeo Mun-ok’s face finally showed a hint of relief.
In fact, her family is also a renowned samurai in a defeated country.
So I knew that if you had tetanus, no matter how hard you tried, you wouldn’t be able to jump as high as you did earlier.
“Then, will you be able to regain your original strength after 15 days?”
“yes.”
Yeo Moon-ok shed tears as she saw her son’s confident expression.
“I really have been cured of tetanus. Hehe, if Sung had been treated by a doctor named Hwabu as you said at the time, we would be living together by now… Hehehe…..
” He hurried over and wrapped his arms around his mother.
“Mother, I am more sorry. At that time, I should have convinced my mother more clearly, but I was not sure at the time, so I couldn’t.”
“Hehehehe…. What’s wrong with you? It’s my fault for not taking the medical exam and ignoring the name.”
Jo In wiped away her mother’s tears and was greatly relieved.
‘If I had died, I can’t imagine how heartbroken my mother must have been!’
She was a mother who lost warmth to her husband and now only cares for her children.

Since iron was precious, people could buy iron tools or give them money if they brought irons to the smithy.
The fireman intended to bring two and a half bales of steel, broken knives, and spear blades to Pyochung, the master of the all-night bar.
In fact, melting all those metals wasn’t a lot of iron, but it was an excuse to ask him to make more tools like Kelly’s.
The fireman could not bring the iron and utensils alone, so he had to bring the five jang and the wrong report.
The three of them set off from Shaochun in the morning and arrived at Caojiazhuang around noon.
The fireman was examining Lieutenant Jo’s feet and was thinking of handing over the parchment obtained from the bandit’s wildfire.
There was also an internal calculation that it would be easy to meet Pyochung if he attached someone like Prince Hwang because he had already gained enough favor with Lieutenant Jo.
“If you wait here, I will bring you Master In soon.”
“yes.”
The painter waited for Lieutenant Jo at the annex guided by the servant, and Ohbo and Ohjang rested in front of the annex.
When Ohbo tapped his side, Ohjang made a face asking why.
“Look over there, Dad.”
“If you’re talking about the fish in the pond, I already see it.”
“As the congressman said, we don’t catch and eat those fish when we are hungry, but raise them for ornamental purposes.”
In an instant, the eyes of the five chiefs widened.
“And for ornamental purposes… No, why do you just look at those delicious things?”
“I doubt that too, but according to the congressman, rich people like to watch more than eat.”
“Hey, how delicious is that?”
When the five intestines licked their lips enough to make a gulp sound, the five organs licked their lips together.
“Dad, have you ever eaten such a big piece of meat?”
“Of course you ate it, right?”
“when? Could it be that you ate that big piece of meat alone without me knowing?”
When Oh Bo made a disappointed expression, Oh Chang cleared his throat slightly.
“When you were born, there was a time when I got a fish that big and boiled it for postpartum cooking. I ate very little then.”
“Ah~ when I was born. You stole from your mother.”
“Kerum~ I only tasted it slightly to see the liver.”
“Looking at my father’s expression, it must have been incredibly delicious.”
“I can’t speak. It’s been over ten years, and the taste is still in my head.”
gulp.
The two father and son swallowed almost simultaneously and looked at the fish swimming leisurely in the pond.
“father.”
When Obo let out a spleen voice for some reason, Ojang unknowingly looked around the annex. He already knew what his son was thinking just by hearing his voice.
“Why?”
Fortunately, there were no servants around the outbuilding.
“There are so many of them, so even if you catch at least one, you won’t get a vote, right?”
“Perhaps. As you said, it is for ornamental purposes, but who would be counting the number of fish every day? Even if at least one disappears, there will be no votes.”
“If I put it in that bale, I don’t think there will be a mark when I go out. What do you think of my father?”
The bale that Obo pointed out was a bale containing broken knives or spear blades.
Straw was laid thickly on the back to prevent sharp objects from stabbing the back, so even if you put at least one fish between the straw, it would not be marked.
“That is a wonderful idea.”
“I will throw a stone from the other side and drive it this way, so father catch it.”
“I get it. I am good at catching fish, so hurry and bring them.”
The pond was not deep, there were many fish, and somehow the fish were not at all wary of people’s shadows.
Pongpong…..
When Obo hit the water and threw stones, the fish were startled and rushed to the place where the five intestines were.
with a splash.
Ojang, who had eyes like an eagle hunting for prey, waved his hand at the flock of fish that were ambitiously flocking.
However, only the water splashed and the fish were not so easy to catch.
“Father take good care of yourself.”
“sorry. One more time…Huck!”
