I Reincarnated as a Legendary Surgeon - Chapter 98

Episode 98. If a cow eats it, it becomes milk, and if a snake eats it, it

becomes poison.

Because of this, the painter bought another horse and let Obo and Buna ride together. Bun-ah didn’t know how to ride a horse yet, so most of the reins were held by Obo.

“Master, I think it would be a good idea to have lunch by the stream in front of you.”

The painter nodded at Obo’s words.

You don’t have to buy lunch because there are foods you bring with you when you leave the church.

“I just went out and then.”

“yes.”

After a while, the three of them released their horses to graze, took out food from the bag, and started eating.

Quietly, loudly…..

At that time, a horse ran quickly from the side of the road.

The fireman naturally thought that the words would pass them by. But somehow the horse stopped near the creek and the man on the horse asked in a loud voice.

“Are you a Hwabu member?”

“Yes, I am a painter, but who are you?”

The man got off his horse and soon approached the three of them.

“nice to see you. I am Ok-ju, the owner of the Hyeono Gaekjan.”

“ah! It’s a Hyeon-oh guest cup. But why did you come all the way here?”

The painter was wary and took out a bamboo tube from his bosom and held it in his left hand.

The fireman also knew that Hyeonogaekjan was a guesthouse that city doctors often stopped by after work, and remembered that there were several requests for house visits while in the castle.

Of course, I never went because of the risk of assassination.

Ok-joo hurriedly bent her waist as she read the light of caution in the painter’s tone.

“It’s true that I came after you, but I didn’t come with bad intentions, just to get treatment.”

Only then did the painter tilt his head.

“Where are you sick?”

“I’ll tell you about that a little later, so you should avoid sleeping first.”

“yes? Why?”

“As I was chasing the congressman, I saw some men with swords riding horses and taking a shortcut to pass the congressman.”

“Short way? If you took a shortcut, you would be hiding from the front, so why do you need to avoid your seat now?”

“ah! okay. Anyway, I think you shouldn’t go this way now, and you should turn around a little and go. First of all, how about hiring an escort as soon as possible?”

“Whoa- I guess so. By the way, the host doesn’t seem to be very sick, but where does it hurt?”

Ok-joo unleashed the knife from her waist and threw it at the feet of Oh-bo as the painter was still alert.

“I am really here for treatment.”

“I understand, but if you really come for treatment, take out the raincoat hidden in your sleeve.”

At the painter’s words, Ok-ju’s eyes widened slightly.

“How did you know that Bido was hidden under my sleeve?”

“I don’t usually roll up my sleeves that much in this hot weather.”

“I see. Certainly, because he is a member of the National Assembly, he has good eyesight.”

Ok-joo took out the veil hidden in her sleeve and threw it at the feet of Oh-bo, then stretched out her hand behind her and loosened the veil from her waist.

“Will you trust me now?”

“I wouldn’t have believed it if I hadn’t taken out the veil hidden in the waistband.”

Ok-ju made a strange expression when the painter put the bamboo tube she was holding in her left hand into her bosom.

Usually, if you were on your guard, you would put your hand on the handle of the sword. However, the painter took out a bamboo tube from his bosom and aimed it at himself.

Of course, the bamboo tube was pointing in her direction, but Ok-ju felt that it was definitely the target.

‘There was a small hole in it. Is it a device that launches memorization?’

Since Okju was the branch manager of Taepyeonggyo, which had an information network that stretched across the country, she had heard that Sacheon or Guiju soldiers often used a device that launched memorization.

‘Well, since you’re a member of the council, it seems you’ve prepared your own weapon for self-defense. But if you’re a B-level enforcer, that kind of weapon won’t work. Well, the ranks might work, but…’

I was confident that I wouldn’t be hit by myself right now.

“By the way, where are you sick?”

“I actually belonged to an organization and barely escaped a while ago, but those vicious bastards put a ban on me to suffer from severe headaches and die if I don’t take the drug once every six months. Fortunately, when I escaped, I got some canceling drugs… but there were only a few of them, so I came here to get treatment from the Hwabu doctor despite my shame.”

Hearing Ok-joo’s words, the painter made a slightly puzzled expression.

Psychotropic drugs such as narcotic drugs can poison people, but they cannot produce the absurd effects that Okju said.

‘Is this man writing a novel by any chance?’

“Is there such a ban? I’m hearing this for the first time….. Ah! If you analyze the solution, you may be able to find out what principle is hidden. Can you give me a break from the contract?”

“Cancellation? Whoa… I see. One pill is six months of life for me, so please handle it with care.”

“yes.”

The painter received the jade bottle that Okju had taken out of his bosom and opened the lid.

Then he took out one of them, put it in his palm, and looked around.

“Look.”

“Your master.”

“Bring some porcelain, distilled water, and a medicine bowl.”

“yes.”

When Obo brought several utensils, the fireman put one pill into the medicine bowl and tried to pound it.

“Wait a minute! What are you going to do now?”

Then, Ok-ju freaked out and grabbed the fireman’s collar.

“You have to analyze the ingredients to know what kind of drug it is.”

“Ha but… ha-. All right.”

The painter made a strange expression as he looked at Ok-joo’s hand that had grabbed his collar.

‘It’s a fairly fast move, isn’t it? I grabbed your sleeve in an instant!’

It was just one move, but it was clear that he was a great master.

fast.

The fireman brushed off his surprise and crushed the pills into powder. He poured a small amount of distilled water on it, tasted it on his tongue, and spit it out.

“I know roughly what it is.”

Ok-joo’s eyes widened as if they would tear at the fireman’s words, and Oh-bo and Beon-ah also blinked as if surprised.

“Have you already figured out the ingredients of the medicine?”

In fact, Ok-ju tried to find out the ingredients by showing the pills to the poets who came to the inn.

The doctors scratched the pills and tasted them, and they tasted water and grass like painters, but they all had puzzled faces and couldn’t figure out the gate.

The painter found out the ingredients of such a medicine at once.

“Yes, I don’t know who played a prank like this… but he has a very vicious heart.”

“Of course, they are vicious bastards who forbid people. By the way, if you figured out the ingredients, could you make more of the drug?”

“Cancellation?”

The fireman shook his head.

“Sorry, but this is not a cancellation. Rather, it is a drug that deepens addiction.”

“yes? What do you mean by that?”

“Bo and ah. Do you guys know what this is?”

“I don’t know.”

“You will know when you taste it. Don’t eat it, just taste it.”

“yes.”

Oboe and Bun-ah dipped a little bit of the powder given by the painter, tasted it, and hurriedly spit it out.

“This is…”

“You know what it is. Don’t bother talking.”

“yes. By the way, Master. Does this even poison people?”

“Depending on how you refine it, and depending on what and how much you mix it, you can treat people like I use it, or you can turn people into slaves by making it out of garbage.”

“That’s right.”

“You guys don’t need to know how to make trash…”

The painter looked at Ok-ju with a blurry end.

“Reach out your hand, I need a pulse.”

“yes.”

After examining Ok-ju’s pulse, the painter carefully examined her tongue and eyes.

“How long have you been taking this medicine?”

“I’ve had it for about 5 years now.”

“It’s been 5 years… what was the last thing you ate?”

“I ate two months ago.”

“Wasn’t it always difficult to have a bowel movement for several days after taking this medicine?”

At the painter’s words, Ok-joo pondered for a moment, then opened her eyes wide in surprise and nodded.

“Come to think of it, every time I went to the side, I had a hard time because the stool didn’t come out well.”

“Before you take this medicine, you feel sleepy, have a fever, do not stop crying, have frequent mouth-watering, are anxious, and even have a headache?”

“yes yes.”

Ok-joo opened her eyes wide as if asking how she knew all of that, but couldn’t even blink.

“All those symptoms disappear as if they were washed after taking this medicine.”

“yes.”

“Have you ever had goosebumps or vomiting for no reason?”

“I’ve had goosebumps, but I haven’t even vomited.”

“Didn’t the vomit come up?”

“It does come up, but… I was patient.”

“I’m addicted, but it’s not too bad. thank god. I don’t know who it is, but it seems that they made it possible to control the degree of addiction. By the way, you seem to have great martial arts, but I don’t understand why you’re addicted to this kind of medicine. Were you forced to eat it?”

When the painter himself learned Naga Qigong, he knew how much it boosted his mental power. The heightened mental power creates so-called immobility, so you can resist the temptation of drugs.

“Did you even know that I was imprisoned?”

The fireman nodded at Okju’s answer.

“It just seemed like it was. This garbage is so addictive that you wouldn’t normally try to eat it yourself. I had to erase the objections from my head, so I would have put them in a dark room, drugged them into a stupor, and then slowly hypnotized them.”

Ok-joo’s complexion turned pale as she received the painter’s questions.

“What is hypnosis?”

“It is to put a person into a state of half-asleep as if he is half asleep through drugs or suggestion.”

“ah! Then I must have been hypnotized. I remember when I was drugged and lost in my mind, they waved their lanterns in front of me and muttered incomprehensible words.”

“I was hypnotized, too. People with strong mental powers like you are rarely hypnotized, so we fed them this garbage.”

“It wasn’t these pills that I took.”

“You can change the appearance of a drug.”

“okay. But what are the symptoms of being hypnotized? I think I’m fine.”

“You think it’s nothing. According to common sense, it would be people who kidnapped you, drugged you, and did strange things, but what about you? Wasn’t it so loyal that it was not common sense to get the contract canceled? Isn’t it normal to be loyal to such a foe?”

The painter deliberately emphasized the word common sense several times to make the opponent aware.

stop.

Ok-joo’s expression went blank as he listened to the fireman’s words.

After thinking for a while, I opened my mouth with difficulty.

“That’s right. They are my wonsun… Why did I work so hard at what they told me to do?”

“If you think about it a little more, there will be many other things that don’t make sense. Do you have any family?”

“yes. there is.”

“Where are those families now?”

“I am in my hometown. No, there will be.”

“Is your family doing well?”

“I don’t know because I haven’t seen him since he was kidnapped.”

“Are you sure you don’t know? Are you a family? Would you like to see it?”

“I don’t want to see that much.”

“Why don’t you want to see it? Did you fight hard? Or is your wife having an affair?”

“Oh no. It was a family with no problems in my memory.”

“Then why don’t you want to see it?”

“well? Why can’t I see my family… I’m not sure either.”

As Ok-ju spoke, she tilted her head as if she didn’t understand.

“Looks like it’s been a while since you escaped from that organization, but haven’t you thought of your family at least once during that time?”

“yes yes. I didn’t think of my family.”

“Then what were you thinking?”

“I was just thinking that I should quickly meet with Hwabu to get a cancellation or get treated.”

“Isn’t that too strange? Cancellation is something I need to save, but they are still my family.”

“This is strange. It’s just too weird for me to think about.”

Dripping…..

Tears suddenly flowed from Ok-joo’s eyes.

“After hearing what the congressman said, I suddenly started to miss my family. My heart is pounding and what else is so sad about it?”

“Emotions that have been suppressed for so long, or you can call them memories. It looks like I touched one of them.”

“Is this hypnosis?”

“Yes, it is normal to cry now.”

“okay. Hehe…..”

“Aside from what I just said, if you think about it for a bit, there will be many things that don’t make sense. ”

“Yes, it seems.”

“Now you know how crappy this drug is.”

The painter poured the white powder from the medicine bowl onto the floor.

Papapat.

At that moment, Ok-ju freaked out and reached out to catch the powder pouring on the floor.

Lee Chae was young again in the painter’s eyes.
