Congressman, Live Again - Episode 1
Episode 1
001. protagonist (main character))
I felt like my body was going to be crushed. Her throat was dry. Her whole body ached as if she had been beaten and she had no strength. My whole body was tingling and shaking as if I had a bad cold..
“OMG… … Why does it hurt so much……?”
I woke up groaning and muttering in pain..
“Did you catch the flu? I need to take at least a fever reducer... … uh?”
I forced my eyes open. There is a saying that if you listen to your doctor carefully, you will live a long time, and if you live like a doctor, you will die young. The world praises it as a great job, but in reality it requires a lot of physical effort..
Until I got older, I rolled my body around and there was no place that didn't hurt..
Cheonhee Jin, a professor of general surgery at a university hospital, groaned and opened her eyes..
“Uh, huh……?”
He opened his eyes and immediately let out an embarrassed groan..
I see tree branches. There is a blue sky, and the air that touches your skin is quite warm. It was in the forest in late spring, early summer..
“……Was there a forest like this near our camp? It would have been all desert?”
He put his hand to his forehead and frowned. My memory was confused. He had a vague recollection of what he was doing before he came to his senses..
Sabbatical year. I remember going to a remote area for medical service. My classmate was so passionate that he went as if he was being dragged..
‘Did you lift me and move me? no… … There would have been no forest like this near the medical relief camp.?’
The country I visited to volunteer was in a state of drought and civil war. They worked very hard to treat injured and sick children..
As I think about the past one by one, I feel like my vision is becoming a little clearer..
I still couldn't remember what I did last night, but my mind felt quite clear..
‘Let's not panic.’
As I took a deep breath, strength began to return to my body. The pain weighing down her entire body slowly disappeared. And when he turned his head to look around, he couldn't move his legs even though his strength returned..
“under… … haha. Is this a dream??”
Sunlight broke out of the clouds and illuminated the surroundings. He was just as mesmerized..
Because everything I saw around me was a corpse..
At that sight, my legs didn't move as if they were frozen. He gently pinched his cheek..
sick.
“It's not a dream…….”
The pain I feel in my cheek is vivid. Still, I was glad that my legs could move now. Only then did Jin Cheon-hee have time to look around..
‘Movie set… … is not. Oh, no. The smell of blood is this terrible, so it can't be fake..’
Still, as a surgical knife operator, I was quite familiar with the smell of blood. But I couldn't help but feel my heart trembling a little. No matter how you looked at the scene where he was standing, it looked like a place where a war had taken place..
‘Looking at his face, rigor mortis hasn't set in yet. It means less than two hours have passed since he died. These are all cuts or stab wounds from sharp weapons... … Why are there no gunshot wounds??’
Plus, the clothes were strange. No matter how you look at it, he was dressed like something you would see in a martial arts novel he enjoyed reading..
As he slowly examined the corpse, he suddenly realized that the pain he felt in his body had disappeared..
‘first. This is not a dream, it is reality. and i…….’
He looked down at his hands..
‘small. Are these the hands of a child?.’
The shadow was also small. It looked like the body of a child around ten years old..
‘If you're dreaming of being a child in the martial arts world, I can understand it..’
Jin Cheonhee pursed her lips. She started with her bare hands without her parents and she has overcome countless hardships. His strong spirit sustained him.
There were at least dozens of corpses around..
What appeared to be a carriage was broken into three pieces, and several people had their upper and lower bodies cut off by a single blow..
‘What kind of knife does it take to cut off a human's bones and muscles in one fell swoop??’
He looked down at his bloody hands again. It's a fern hand..
‘A child's body. It feels like I'm caught up in a divorce law that I only read about in novels. Would you say this is possession?.’
I lightly shook myself off. Since there is no sense of reality at all, I feel more cool-headed..
‘Judging by the clothes I'm wearing, it doesn't seem like I come from a wealthy family... … It seems like they were attacked by thieves or bandits or something, as there wasn't anything worth money for except the corpses..’
After thinking that far, he sighed heavily..
‘also. No matter how you look at this... … Possession in novels… … It seems the same. I don’t know if there was a time warp or what. Definitely not Korea anyway…….’
Then a memory came to mind..
The rebels opened the tent and opened fire. I remember quickly wrapping my arms around the child. I don't know why I covered it. the child screamed.
After that?
The world was dyed red. The child shouted ‘Doctor, doctor!’ in poor language..
darkness came.
‘under… … My life really... … At the orphanage, I gritted my teeth and passed medical school, became a doctor, and became a professor. Did you die just because you were able to make a living and started volunteering? Haha, what are you really doing?.’
He stared blankly at the ground for a moment. Because he was a doctor, he managed to come into contact with his corpse..
Maybe that's why he wasn't as scared as an ordinary person even though he was standing among corpses..
Or maybe he just realized how he died and couldn't think about anything else..
After gathering my thoughts for a while, I sighed deeply..
It was a sigh that you would never expect from a ten-year-old child..
‘okay. I need to keep my wits about me. I don't know what happened, but it's not the time to be here like this. If you stay here and bandits come again, you could die..’
It was then.
“Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk… … who… … Someone... … please…….”
Was anyone alive? I ran to the sound of the voice and saw a middle-aged man with a bushy beard twitching his body..
He turned his eyes and found Jin Tianxi..
“Hey… … Hey… … My wife… … This to my wife... … this… … . I'm okay with dying, but... … My wife... … yet…….”
He handed me a bloody bag..
Jin Cheon-hee did not receive the bag. She instead stretched out her hand and placed her hand on the middle-aged man's wound. The man looked at Jin Cheonhee in surprise at that sight..
The man lost strength in his hands and dropped his pockets on the floor. The sound of money rings..
Grumbling.
He had the body of a child of about ten years old, and instead of taking the money, he pressed the man's affected area..
“I will stop the bleeding.”
The vein was compressed all at once, as if it had been done dozens, hundreds, or thousands of times..
“Ughhh!”
The man screamed in excruciating pain. Jin Cheon-hee thought that it was fortunate that she had the strength to scream..
‘Should I call this lucky or bad? Even though the laceration was this long, fortunately there were no internal injuries. But the wound was too long and there was a lot of blood. If you don't suture it quickly…….’
The front of the abdomen was long and split. The wound was large enough to show the internal organs, but fortunately there were no internal injuries..
‘method… … There must be a way.’
He looked around quickly. But he seemed to have no way to suture the wound. So the middle-aged man reached into his pocket to hand it over..
‘Come out with something. come out.’
When I opened the pocket, I found that there were coins that were used in ancient China and silk shoes smaller than a middle finger..
They were baby shoes. I could feel the warmth of how much the man cherished it..
And there was a pretty bandana. It looked luxurious and didn't seem to be a normal buttonhole, but I liked it that way..
‘I found the needle. But actually… … There is no thread. then…….’
He pulled the man's hair. Long hair, befitting the martial arts era. Great. He quickly put his hair through the eye of a needle and tied it up..
“It may hurt, but you have to endure it..”
There was no answer. The middle-aged man was slowly losing consciousness. It's a sign of death.
‘……Is there no way??’
In the end, I took a bold step.
deeply.
The needle penetrates the flesh. The middle-aged man groaned in faint consciousness..
However, Jin Cheon-hee moved her hands with a calm face..
‘I had heard that in an emergency, I could suture my hair with hair, but I never thought I would do it myself. Since there are no conditions for disinfection, an infection may occur. I can't help it. I have no choice but to do it now.’
The wound was sutured in an instant. When the bleeding stopped, the man gasped. In Jin Cheon-hee's opinion, it seemed like first aid was done at this level..
In fact, I wanted to do more, but I wasn't in the condition to do it..
I wanted to find a clean cloth, but there didn't seem to be any around. So I took a piece of cloth that was rolling around and tied up the wound..
The man muttered something. The words were spoken in a clouded state of consciousness so I couldn't hear them clearly, but they seemed to be saying thank you..
Jin Tianxi handed the bag of coins to his hand..
‘Please hand it to me alive..’
He didn't believe in heaven. No matter how much you pray, a dying patient will die..
But I believed in human will. Jin Cheon-hee comforted him because he was not unaware of the feelings of the head of the household who left his pregnant wife at home..
After finishing the treatment, Jin Cheonhee sighed and sat down..
I couldn't believe what was going on right now, and even in this situation, I was exhausted after saving someone's life..
Then I suddenly thought.
‘There might be more people alive..’
I suddenly got up from my seat. And when I looked around closely, I saw that there were a few people still alive..
It wasn't that many, but a few were still alive..
‘You can provide first aid, but can you save someone’s life? Even if you try your hand now, without someone's help, you will end up…….’
He thought about it until then and gritted his teeth..
‘Think about it later. I have to save it right now..’
The child's body moved diligently..
We had to distinguish between those who could be saved immediately and those who could not..
‘this person is… … I've already lost too much blood. can't be saved.’
The first person I saw had half of his leg cut off. The problem was that the artery was cut, causing too much blood loss..
He might be able to survive if he sutures quickly and receives a blood transfusion, but it was impossible in the current situation..
He turned his head away with a heavy heart. He was a patient who seemed like he could have been saved if he had proper medical equipment, but he couldn't do anything right now..
My heart became heavy at that fact. But doctors must be cool-headed.
Because there were other emergency patients, there was no delay..
