Chapter 292
Episode 292:
The day dawned and people continued to die.
Villagers who were lucky enough to not be injured or who suffered relatively minor injuries helped Jin Cheon-hee, but she was still an ordinary citizen.
There were limits to what I could do to help.
In the end, there was no way to stop people dying.
If one person is saved, the other person dies at that time.
It was grueling.
People continued to die. More people than are saved.
‘The smell…’
A pungent smell began to emanate from the village.
At some point, Cheonwoo realized that his brother was no longer smiling.
He was the older brother who always paid attention to those around him and showed a shameless, relaxed side.
But now, as if he didn’t even have time to do that, he was just focused on maintaining the life of someone in front of him.
I started to think that somehow my older brother was splitting up and becoming smaller and smaller.
When you feel like you can’t hold on any longer…
“I’m from Baeklin’s Pavilion! “Where is the patient?”
Baekrin Uigak Bunta and Baekrin Uigak guards, Gungguidan, arrived together.
Jin Cheon-hee stood up shakily. And then he spoke so loudly that it was hard to believe he was a person who had lost all his energy.
“It’s here–!”
and shouted loudly.
“Lord Incinerator! “Are you okay?”
The Bunta members quickly got off their horses and ran towards Jin Cheon-hee. “First of all, we classified the patients in order of emergency… so
let’s start with
manpower…” From one to ten.
He gave instructions in a familiar voice.
“I follow the orders of the head of Busuldang!”
From the upper house to the lower house of parliament, they began to move busily.
It was fortunate.
Until I saw Jin Cheonhee’s body bent at a strange angle.
“brother.”
When I quickly grabbed Jin Cheon-hee’s shoulder, he returned to his original position.
“Oh, it’s okay.”
I didn’t say anything, but I felt him respond by hitting the wall first.
* * *
Lunch hour.
Cheonwoo first caught up with a suitable councilor and attempted to talk about his brother.
“It’s something that can’t be helped. Well, it might be a difficult feeling for warriors to understand.”
The council member stopped eating rice balls and became lost in thought.
“I know in my head that this person will die no matter what I do, but shouldn’t I do something? We continue to do so out of devotion, but in the background, people who cannot take care of us die. The patient I desperately cared for also eventually died. Hmm…”
Wrinkles appeared on the council member’s face.
He was lost in thought for a while with age-stained eyes and continued to choose his words before saying this.
“Usually, doctors who have experienced blood death take a few days off after work. If there is severe blood loss, rest for up to 10 days. Lord Bunta gives me money and forces me to meet my family.”
When I asked why, the council member laughed bitterly.
“If we don’t, many people will hang themselves from the beams and die in the next month. Yes, it’s suicide.”
Cheonwoo felt dizzy for a moment.
“Among the warriors who experienced blood death, aren’t there some who later commit suicide because they can’t bear it? There are times when even an old monk with poor mental and physical discipline gives up, right? The same goes for lawmakers. Hmm… Plus, the feeling of being cut with a knife when killing something only lasts a moment, but the feeling of failing after going from low to low takes a lot of time.”
It’s such a strange thing.
In the end, helping an unmanned person is their own business, but the fact that a congressman who has no contact with anyone commits suicide because he can’t bear to save people.
The council member seemed to have lost his appetite after thinking about that and put down the rice balls.
“That’s why a lot of seniors usually advise you to make sure you have at least one hobby that you can stick to.”
“Hobby?”
Suddenly, my brother’s obsession with cooking came to mind.
The senator nodded.
“If you just practice medicine, people go crazy. Isn’t that right? No matter how faithful you are, one out of ten patients will die. If you see a hundred people, you will send ten people away. If you have blood like this, add it. “I experienced it once when I was a member of the House of Representatives, but…”
Cheon-woo, who was listening, also lost his appetite.
The senator continued speaking.
“Still, I managed to hold on thanks to Lord Bunta and the doctors who were guiding me, but… Well… Lord Sogak, at the time, the doctor who was supposed to help him was also an injured patient, and in fact, he was the only medical doctor who could move, wasn’t he? In addition, he directly suppressed the blood master. Um… Well, I think it will be a bit difficult for a while.”
Now my brother has given up on cooking, which he likes so much.
The person who asked what he wanted to eat at every meal was skipping his own meals and was so obsessed with work.
“Still, the people of the Zhuge family are strong. Xuanyuan Zhendan Xingong has the greatest ability to withstand such things. Nothing much will happen.”
Is Xuanyuan Zhendan Shingong really that versatile?
Enough to keep you from feeling emotions?
My brother’s eyes have never returned to their original light since then.
As I kept saving the patient, sending him back to life, and sending him back again, I didn’t know that the blue light would go out.
There was nothing wrong with the speed of the accident.
There didn’t seem to be much of a problem with his health.
I just don’t eat the food I like or cook the dish I like.
All you have to do is grind yourself and work hard.
‘What’s at the end?’
Watching this, Cheonwoo felt helpless.
I thought I could help now that I’m so strong.
Nevertheless. He couldn’t help his brother grinding himself over there.
As if he didn’t know that Cheon-woo was feeling that way, the council member took a sip of water and opened his mouth to continue speaking.
“In the current situation, no matter what I say, it won’t be heard, so it would be better to just leave it alone…”
Finally, Cheonwoo asked the real question he had been holding back.
“…Then when will you be back? “My brother.”
“That’s…”
Then the sound of horses’ hooves sounded.
* * *
‘heavy.’
Jin Cheonhee sighed softly.
It felt like dozens of pounds of shackles were wrapped around my entire body.
Each step felt heavy, and my hands began to tremble slightly if I did not pay attention even for a moment.
The number of patients treated since last night has already reached dozens.
It was clear that if even small treatments such as giving instructions were included, it would exceed three figures.
The powerful Naijinki, which turns ordinary people into superhumans, expands the five senses and allows one to know in detail how many people are in this village.
‘The number of people alive last night was 2891. Now there are 2798 people. still. Should I say I’m glad I don’t die anymore…?’
Since Jin Cheon-hee arrived in this village and started chasing out the bandits and treating the wounded, the number of people who died was exactly 93.
The brain, which gains senses beyond imagination through the Five Elements Divine Technique and begins to move at a genius level thanks to the Xuanyuan Zhandan Divine Technique, allows us to feel all of this vividly.
So I stood there blankly, looking at the still busy but still stable surroundings.
Now the big hurdle has been passed.
Now it is important to manage it to prevent aftereffects.
There were patients who remained disabled for the rest of their lives, and there were also patients whose progress had to be monitored continuously to see what would happen in the future.
‘Did the treatment go well? ‘I guess I made the right choice, right?’
Although I was looking at my surroundings with unfocused eyes and perceiving them with my extra senses, I kept asking myself questions in the back of my head.
Couldn’t it have been possible to save at least one more person? What would it have been like if we had done this back then?
So did the patient live?
If the battle with Yocheongun is a test of one’s life, then this type of treatment is a test of risking the lives of others.
‘If only I had done it with my own body…’
…Then it wouldn’t have been this hard.
As Jin Cheon-hee continued to think absentmindedly, the sound and vibration of multiple words rushing towards her were transmitted to her senses.
Jin Cheon-hee reacted to it like a well-maintained machine and turned to look straight into the distance.
I could see a cavalry force of about a hundred men running.
Jin Cheon-hee’s blue-colored eyes recognized their attire in an instant.
‘Soldier of the Empire. But not a soldier in the army. Security forces… It looks like the Podo Army from Podocheong has arrived.’
Unlike the military that carries out professional warfare, Podogunsa (????) belongs to a group called Podocheong (???) that operates for the purpose of ensuring security.
It seemed clear that they had come running.
‘It would have been better if we had come sooner…’
If so, so many people would not have died. If that were the case… If that were the case….
Okay.
Jin Cheon-hee slapped herself in the face.
‘Wake. okay. Come to your senses. There’s still a lot of work to be done.’
“Assemble protective forces.”
“I obey Lord Incinerator’s orders!”
Jin Cheon-hee spoke softly, but someone who understood what she was saying shouted.
“Assemble! “Assemble!”
“All lawmakers, step back!”
“Move the patients!”
Everyone is doing their job.
Meanwhile, Jin Cheon-hee walked towards the group of charging horses.
“brother. are you okay?”
at that time. A heavy and warm hand touched Jin Cheonhee’s shoulder.
‘Oh yeah. I worried about this guy. ‘I’m sorry.’
Even in this situation, Jin Cheon-hee smiled and worried about Cheon-woo.
‘I need some reassurance.’
A relaxed voice would be nice. Whenever Jin Cheon-hee spoke like this, the mood of the staff would improve no matter how difficult the surgery was.
“You made me worry. sorry. It’s okay~”
“Hyung….”
‘That Cheon-woo guy’s expression doesn’t look so good…’
I guess it won’t work with an expression like this.
I gave him an exaggerated slap on the back on purpose.
“It’s okay, man. I am your brother. is not it?”
Although Tianyu’s expression was still strange, Qin Tianxi turned her head.
It’s hard to keep caring about anyone because your body is empty inside.
Right now, I’m putting everything into just maintaining my cognitive state.
Eventually, the herd of war horses slowly slowed down and stopped at a certain distance.
And one of them came on horseback and stopped in front of Jin Cheon-hee.
“Everyone stop! The wise spirit has arrived, so everyone stop and throw away your weapons! “The national laws of the Daehwa Empire are strict, and anyone who violates the commands will be punished by the strict national laws!”
There is a bit of excitement in the loud sound.
However, although the people belonging to Baekrin Uigak were polite, no one seemed nervous.
Kang-ho and Gwan say they treat each other like cows and chickens, but in the end, it is a matter between people.
How much easier would life be if things could be cut as easily as cutting a radish with a knife.
People of the nine generations and eight generations are bound to have connections with high-ranking officials of the empire.
Just as giant corporations in the 21st century exert influence by giving donations to politicians.
The world’s largest clans also have a certain degree of connection in order to make money by running a clan and making money with their swords.
Of course, Baekrin Uigak also had several connections.
Due to the characteristics of the royal family, in some ways, it had a stronger political influence than other schools.
At Baekrin Uigak, patients who were previously thought to have incurable diseases can be saved.
Because just that alone can have a huge impact.
especially. The recent situation in which King Zhou wholeheartedly supported Baeklin’s faction was a story all imperial officials knew.
King Zhou is the emperor’s brother and is the highest level of power with independent military authority.
There could not be an official who could treat Baekrin Uigak, which was under the protection of such a person, carelessly.
Those in the Baekrin Uigak knew this very well.
And the eyes of the official who came forward twitched at that attitude.
That’s because he didn’t yet recognize Baekrin’s Pavilion.
“You guys! Are you saying that the main office’s words are not true? How dare you….”
“My name is Jin Cheon-hee, and I hold the title of Baeklin Uigak Incineration Lord. Please tell me first who you are.”
Jin Cheon-hee took a step forward and showed off his power.
Rather than lowering his head, he raises his head and looks at the official on horseback.
