Congressman, Live Again - Episode 824

Episode 824

It's been about three days since I came here..

Approximately half of the patients were cured..

Of course, only patients with mild symptoms can be treated here. Severely ill patients who needed facilities were sent to Uigak Bunta..

“End of dental treatment today!”

“If you suffer like this for three or four more days, this patient will be over.~”

Sima Xuan said that and cleaned up today’s mess..

Jin Cheon-hee scratched his head..

“huh. Even though the population is over a thousand people, there are many cases where there is not even a small room..”

Jin Cheon-hee himself was quite familiar with Kang-ho, so he knew something about it..

However, seeing the patient in passing and looking around like this are definitely different feelings..

“How much more do you plan to do in the future? brother~?”

“Well, I'm not the only one doing relief work, and I'm also being sent out separately from Uigak, so I'll just have to reach the next village and that'll be it..”

“It's amazing to see my brother's daily life from the side.~”

“what. By the way, is it okay for you to leave Hao Mun for this long??”

Sima Hyun smiled faintly at Jin Tianxi’s question..

“Don't worry, I'm still hearing the news~ I have to go back when the waves from the imperial palace calm down..”

He said that and expressed regret..

‘Well, unless I have to wash my face with gold powder, I have to go back. If you don't come back, someone else will take Sima County's place..’

He said that even though the river seems wide, there is no empty space..

Meanwhile, Jin Cheon-hee's image of Kang Ho-in was that of a ronin warrior wandering aimlessly like Bupyeong Elementary School..

People who sometimes receive money and make requests, but other than that, they walk around wherever they can and practice cooperation..

But when I actually lived in Gangho, there were only a small number of people like that..

Most people, even if they are a swordsman, have a family, a home, and a monk..

If there is a faction, you have to fight to maintain power within it, and no matter how harmonious the clan, problems always exist..

Sima County holds the power of Jinhyeopang and Haomun..

Right now, something has come up so I'm pretending to step away from the front line and hide for a while, but when the storm subsides, I'll have to go back someday..

Otherwise, someone else will take Sima Xuan's place, and he will attack Sima Xuan to eliminate the evil..

It is an attribute of power.

It is also a human attribute.

It may be an attribute of Kangho..

Either way, it was a story that both Sima Xuan and Jin Tianxi knew very well..

“By the way, bro.”

“why?”

“Isn't it strange? The village chief's brother is here, but he doesn't even show his nose..”

Jin Cheon-hee did not come as governor, but he came to provide medical services, so wherever he went, the village chief would personally come to welcome him..

But that wasn't the case here..

“What… … . Things like that happen, too. why? Is there any reason? I heard in passing that he was ill..”

I heard that the village chief is ill and cannot welcome people..

In fact, isn't it strange that the doctor refuses to meet me because he is sick??

Normally, people would rush to get treatment..

If you can't move, your family will come in your place..

“Hyun said you wanted to get high-end liquor in this town. Did you find out anything??”

Sima Hyeon nodded at those words..

“huh. I did recognize it. It seems to be true that the village chief was sick.~”

“uh? okay? But why aren't you coming for treatment? If you have trouble moving around, we can send you a message and we can go there. There is nothing like that.”

Sima Hyun scratched his head at those words..

“That's it. There was a situation. I didn't know that the head of the Jeong family came from a family of shaman and lay disciples.?”

“I did?”

“huh. They said so. The son was also a lay disciple, and his grandson was also a lay disciple and must have practiced in a shaman sect..”

Jin Cheon-hee nodded at those words..

“I guess I didn't have formal initiation because it had to be passed down from generation to generation. Because if you become a Taoist monk, you cannot get married..”

“However, they say that all but one chieftain died. Both children and grandchildren.”

It's like going through a disaster overnight..

“What happened……?”

“They say he got caught up in Kang-ho's affairs... … All I know is that it is separate from the Jeongsajeon affair. Let's take a look?”

Jin Cheon-hee was lost in thought and said:.

“no. are you okay.”

“What are you going to do??”

“Let's meet in person, okay?.”

let's meet.

And then we talk.

Nevertheless, if the patient gives up on his or her treatment. From there, there was nothing Jin Cheon-hee could do..

“It looks like they won't treat it if the patient refuses..”

Jin Cheonhee nodded..

“I will persuade you. However, if your decision is still firm… … huh. Because there is nothing I can do about this. All a doctor can do is help people get better..”

Illness is ultimately a battle fought between patients and doctors..

A doctor can help, but it is meaningless if the patient does not have the will to live..

If you want to open a door, you must at least knock..

Likewise, no matter how much a doctor provides treatment, unless you are forced to be hospitalized, you ultimately have to take the medicine yourself..

Controlling your diet is something you must do, and quitting drinking and smoking is ultimately something you must do. No matter how great modern medicine becomes, that remains the same..

“My brother is surprisingly calm in that regard. then. I'll go right away?”

“OK.”

The two are the village chief's house. I headed to Jeonggajang (貞家莊).

* * *

Jeonggajang was located on the outskirts of the village. The reason is nothing special.

This is because Jeonggajang had a large brewery attached to it..

There were many peach trees around the village, and it was said that most of these trees belonged to the Jeong family head..

When I heard that I was going to meet Jangju, the residents told me a few stories about Jangju Jeong..

Sepyeong seems to be a very great person..

People unanimously said that when the harvest was bad, grain was provided to the people, and sometimes a doctor was called in from outside to treat the people..

Anyway, the owner of this Jeonggajang is a local celebrity, a great man, and a virtuous local official..

But now, all the descendants have died and are buried in the dirt..

The shock left me speechless and in a state of worry..

I wasn't specifically trying to collect information, but this is what I heard on the way to Jeonggajang..

It was easy to find out because it was already known to all the village residents..

“There would be no need for me to collect information.?”

“I know.”

“so. I'll knock on the door right away?”

“That's how it should be.”

Jin Tianxi and Sima Hyeon.

The two stood in front of the main gate of the house..

A door that closes like a clam. There is no such thing as a bodyguard.

Since Hagisa's family is now deceased, there will only be one old man who is the head of Jeonggajang and the people who work at Jeonggajang..

Bang bang bang!

“Are you there?!”

It's a pretty historic house..

Looking at the old but well-worn hinges, Jin Cheon-hee imagined how many generations had lived in this house..

Perhaps your ancestors' ancestors' ancestors made alcohol and maintained this place..

That payment has now been cut off..

The only thing left is Jeong Jang alone..

How long did I wait? I heard someone approaching, dragging my shoes..

“Who are you?.”

As soon as the door opened, Jin Cheon-hee's face appeared..

“Oh, no, aren't you the congressman??”

Because Jin Cheon-hee is changing her appearance, people only know her as a congressman..

Of course, even if it was his original appearance, there was little chance that the common people of this small town, who were not Kang Ho-in, would immediately recognize him..

Jin Cheon-hee immediately recognized the servant who said that..

“Jinnoya was working here..”

He had previously received treatment..

Jin Cheon-hee immediately remembered the name and said..

“Mr. Jinil, are you okay now??”

“Hehehe. Among the many patients, you remember someone like me.…….”

Jin Il burst out laughing, probably feeling better when Jin Cheon Hee immediately recognized him..

“By the way, why did you come here??”

Sima Hyun said.

“The congressman here came to personally examine the head of the family, who is said to be ill..”

Jinnoya shook his head as if he was troubled by those words..

“That's... … Lord Jang said not to accept outsiders, but…….”

“Still, I should at least see your face. Didn't the congressman come all the way out of concern?~?”

As Sima Hyun pushed in a gentle voice, Jin Noya nodded..

“that… that… … . All right. Eat it inside..”

I thought he would reject me a few times, but it was surprising..

Does this mean you can't spit on a smiling face?.

[Hyuna. you are good at this?]

[Looking at it, Jinno, that person also seems to be worried about the owner, but if you recite courtesy like this, they will listen as if they can't win..]

Anyway, isn't it another thing to hit the other person's luck with just your wits and then immediately push them like this?.

[There is definitely a reason why Hyeon is good at business..]

[My brother, I am worried about why a man who can devise such a noble plan when dealing with thousands of murderers is so foolish when dealing with the common people of the countryside..]

[Hehehe!]

Seeing his older brother like that, Sima Xuan sighed softly..

Strong to the strong, weak to the weak.

Because that was both my brother's strength and weakness..

Following the instructions, we arrived at the palace where the chief priest resides..

In front of him, old man Jin spoke politely..

“Lord Jang. A guest has arrived.”

“Didn't I tell you not to accept guests? Who did you bring here??”

a bright voice.

It was a sharp voice that could be said to belong to an old man, but it was somewhat weak..

“It is said that Rep. Baekrin came in person..”

“Baekrin’s Pavilion… Baekrin’s Pavilion? Phew, I can't help it. Our village is also indebted to Baekrin Uigak..”

[Oh, as expected, the name of Baekrin Uigak is absolute to the common people.!]

[……Hey, I'm a little embarrassed..]

Sima Xuan looked at Jin Tianxi with respect..

He was like that too.

The more remote a place is, the more valuable lawmakers are..

When a doctor comes to a place like that, isn't it the village chief who usually rubs his hands first and forces them to show his wrist first so that he can look at them first?.

Even if it is not a treatment, you can make a lot of money by ripping off even a small drug transaction..

There is no treasure goblin like this..

But this time was different.

A man who knows all the benefits but never leaves without locking the door..

When I heard that a man with this kind of personality was a member of Baekrin Uigak, I sighed and let him in..

“okay. Let me serve you.”

As soon as Zhuang Zhou's order was given, Jin Tianxi followed Jin Noya inside..

It smelled sweet and sour along with the strong scent of sandalwood. It was the smell of an old man's breath..

‘This……?’

In particular, Jin Cheon-hee's five senses were sensitive due to the Hyeonwonjeondanshin technique, so she was able to accurately perceive it even from this distance..

The old man in front of me was sitting in bed with only his upper body raised..

The lower body was covered with a blanket..

“Welcome. Please understand that I am still sick and cannot wake up..”

“He says all kinds of things. If you had told me sooner, I would have come and treated you myself..”

“Hehehe. Rep. I really appreciate your words. However, it has already been a long time since other lawmakers decided that treatment was impossible with their own abilities. and… … In fact, I have no desire to live any longer..”

The old man's voice had the scent of dying embers..

It was a familiar scent to the congressman..

A unique atmosphere that comes from someone who has given up everything.

‘I guess it's because none of my relatives survived.…….’

Now that you are old enough, of course there is a possibility of giving up on living..

I've lived enough like this.

I don't want to fight the disease anymore, and there's no need to..

But it cannot be compared to an old man who lost his family..

In such cases, it was common for people to die one day without even being able to come to the hospital because their condition deteriorated without even saying, ‘I lived enough’ or ‘I am giving up on life-sustaining treatment.’.

The old man in front of me seemed to be born with a healthy body, as his back was straight and his shoulders were broad for his age..

But he lost both his children and grandchildren..

Since there is no mention of his wife, it seems that he lost her a long time ago..

Who can dare to tell what's inside?.

The old man looked at Jin Cheonhee..

“As the village chief, it's understandable that he's upset because his face isn't shown, but he's a very kind person who cares for him out of necessity..”

“no. I was just doing the natural thing as a member of the National Assembly..”

Jin Cheon-hee hurriedly holds out his hand..

The old man's eyes as he looked at Jin Cheonhee became a little gentler..

“……Since you said that you checked the pulse of other doctors first, do you know the name of the disease??”
