Chapter 214
Episode 214. Medical expenses including debts from the past (1)
“You idiot, he said he only watched it lightly…. What kind of lightning is this?”
The governor of Gwangneung Army, Chungcheong-gu, was not satisfied with the defeat of his third son, who had led 3,000 cavalry, and returned with thousands of enemy soldiers behind him.
Fortunately, Gwangneung-gun had a strong fortress and high walls, so it was possible to close the gate and hold on to the fortress, but it was unavoidable that it was unstable and absurd.
If thousands of enemy soldiers had not surrounded the castle, they would have beaten the ear of the son who returned from defeat right away.
“Sorry. Tae-soo.”
Although blood continued to ooze from his bandaged left arm and stomach, Cheong-soo couldn’t show any signs of pain and fell flat on his face with his forehead.
“Is this going to end if I say I’m sorry right now? What are you going to do? What are you going to do?”
“Tae-soo. Don’t worry too much. Now, 3,000 soldiers are defending the city, so the enemies won’t be able to break through easily.”
At that time, the eldest brother Cheongju entered wearing armor and bowed his head toward Taesu.
At that moment, the anger disappeared from Tae-soo Cheong’s face, which was brightly colored toward the third.
“How is the war situation now?”
“The attack was so sudden that about 500 people were killed, but the first attack was blocked. The enemies also took some damage while climbing the wall, so they won’t be able to launch a second attack right away.”
“Phew~. That’s fortunate.”
Udangtang. Dada dadada…..
“It was a big deal. Dowi. The alumni gate has been pierced.”
At that time, a military commander hurriedly ran up and reported the emergency.
“What do you mean the alumni gate has been pierced? Did I confirm that the enemies were retreating just a moment ago?”
“It looks like there was a Sejak. Suddenly, the door of the east gate was unlocked and the enemy cavalry attacked. General Jong and General Dong ran late, but… it seems difficult.”
Until a castle wall is breached, it is an impregnable fortress, but once breached, it bursts out of control like a dam.
“How can I not last half a day…”
Taesoo Cheng stumbled involuntarily. The tiger cub is also a tiger, but he only thought that he was stupid for mistaking it for a cat.
“Father, you must escape soon. Suya, take your father and family and escape toward Pyeongan-hyeon, where your uncle is. I’ll try to buy some time somehow.”
“I see. older brother.”
When the eldest brother Cheongju ran outside, Taesu Cheong, the third son, and the high officials hurriedly ran to the house and were busy taking care of their wealth.
No matter how much the castle gate was breached, if 3,000 soldiers blocked it, they had enough time to take possession of their possessions and run away.

Kung-kung-kung… jjalang jjalang jjalang…..
In the midst of the drums, bells, and percussion instruments reverberating loudly in the choir, a shaman wearing a colored dress and a white cone-shaped hat jumped up and down. Climbing up, he was calling the mountain god.
“Woah~ Whoa~ Chiseong is lacking Chiseong is lacking… Do you dare to steal my deer without permission from the land I administer and hope that your legs will be healed with such lousy Chiseong? Goan and goen … Wow ~ Wow ~ I have to go. I cannot accept such a reward for lacking morale!”
pop.
Shout out…..
The shaman, who was singing the mountain god, suddenly shuddered, and then uttered a chisung sound and kicked the generously set table with the pig’s head on it. Then
he turned
around and pointed a sword a little over a hand’s length at Seong-guk, the head of the household, who was sitting on a chair and praying.
“Give me my deer that you took!”
“Oh, this ignorant mountain god committed a mortal sin without knowing. I will prepare the prize again for lack of wisdom, so first of all, calm down your anger with this…”
Seongguk took out the money he had prepared from his bosom and offered it to the shaman, groaning over and over again.
Every time I bent my back, sweat dripped from the bridge of my nose due to the pain, but if my aching back and legs could get better, I could bear this level of humiliation.
The reason Seongguk, the lord of Seonggajang, performs such a riotous exorcism is because he fell off a horse while hunting in the mountains and injured his back.
After injuring her back, she called a local doctor who was said to be excellent and received treatment, but somehow, far from getting better, her legs became lame.
He sent people far away and eventually even invited a doctor to treat him, but the disease did not improve.
So, after a lot of thought, I call a shaman who is said to be so brave today and perform a gut.
After the riotous gut, the shamans’ pockets became thick, but the distorted impression of Seongguk did not improve.
“Is it really that your back straightens and the symptoms of limping in your legs disappear within 3 days?”
“Since the God of Donghwasan, whom I serve, said so, it will surely happen.”
The shaman answered Seongguk’s sharp question with a calm face that was not disturbed at all.
“I get it. Good job today. If my body gets better within three days, as you said, I’ll give you a big reward.”
“It is not my words, but the words of the fairy tale mountain god I serve. Then I’ll just go away. Take care of your body.”
After the shaman stepped back with a dignified attitude, Seongguk looked at the general next to him.
“General Seo.”
“Yes, my lord.”
“Put someone on those shamans.”
“All right.”
“Ouch damn it! Even though I did an exorcism…. Yes, that’s 3 days…. Let’s wait patiently.”
As if it was difficult for her to sit on a chair, she limped over to the bed and lay down.
aww
Even though I lay down like that, I had to clench my teeth to see if the pain didn’t go away.
Even after 3 days, it became more difficult to walk, let alone improve, so he ordered a chanter to bring back the shaman who had performed the exorcism.
For three days, the shaman went to a fairly remote area to perform another exorcism, but the warriors on orders from Seongguk forcibly dragged the shaman.
Seongguk stared at the shaman with fierce eyes as if he would kill him at any moment, and opened his mouth.
“As you said, three days have passed. But why is there no improvement in my condition?”
However, despite seeing such eyes, the shaman was rather angry.
“You dare not believe the words of the God of Donghwa Mountain and send someone to watch over me and hope that I will be cured now?”
“If you run away, can’t we be punished when you don’t get better even though you spent a lot of money on guts?”
“Since you had such doubts, how could the God of Donghwa Mountain heal you? Please release me immediately.”
“My illness is not cured, so give me the money back or cure my illness right away. Otherwise, you and all the other young shamans you take with you will die.”
“Heh heh… that’s absurd. Threatening to kill me, who serves the stern God of Donghwa Mountain! You don’t seem to know how terrible the divine punishment is, but when it comes to this house, your wife and children will suffer more than the pain you are suffering right now.”
“Huh~. Is this crazy shaman… threatening me now?”
“I am talking about what will happen in the future. From the moment they caught me, the God of Donghwa Mountain has been working on this house. That’s why your illness has gotten worse and your grandson is suffering. A cute grandson like a fluffy rice cake toad… Are you going to make it die?”
When the shaman shot her with eyes that flashed like those of a rabid dog, she was terrified.
‘How did that guy know that his grandson was in trouble? Shit, did Donghwa Mountain God really get angry because I doubted him?’
If the opponent was intimidated and begged for it, he was going to have his subordinates cut his throat, but when he shouted loudly and scared him, he was rather intimidated.
“Kuhm~. My back hurt so much that I slipped for a while. I’ll give you the money twice as much as the last time, so do an exorcism and heal me.”
“It is already too late. The oars of the God of Donghwa Mountain are at the choir, so if you don’t release me quickly, you will have to pay for the funeral. It has now gone beyond the scope of what can be solved with guts.”
“Yes yes man. Do you really want to die? Aren’t you going to double the money?”
“Do you think the anger of the God of Donghwa Mountain will be relieved with money? What Donghwa Mountain God wanted was sincerity and trust. The householder is making Donghwa Mountain God even more angry now. Release me and my comrades immediately.”
“This… this… I really like Joe. I will cut the heads of you and my colleagues to see how great the mountain god’s punishment is. Hello!”
When the Holy Family could not stand it and showed their anger, the commander-in-chief next to him and the wives who were watching this scene from a distance rushed forward.
“Fix it, Lord. How are you going to handle it when a big disaster comes? You must hurry up and release the shamans to relieve the wrath of the God of Donghwa Mountain.”
“Honey, calm down. I know you’re sick, but to an innocent shaman…”
“Father, calm down. The mountain god’s anger is…..”
“…..”
In an instant, the family dissuaded them and even the governor added their support.
The day after releasing the shaman, Seonggaju heard that Yonghan, a doctor called Hwata, had opened a medical clinic near the slums and was treating people.
Seong Ga-joo was already treated by a doctor who was more excellent than the doctor said to be Yong, so even if the person named Hwata was Yong, there was no special expectation.
“Tsk, these days, dogs and cows all melt. Even the shaman says it’s good, and the doctor says it’s good too. But until now, I haven’t seen a single one who is so talented compared to the ones who are said to be brave.”
The lord of the family was squeamish, but the third daughter-in-law, who became agitated when her son’s horn didn’t get better for several days, didn’t.
She invited a fireman to examine her son.
The child who was treated by the fireman woke up the next day, and the news reached the ears of the choir.
“What’s the point of getting better?”
“Father, by the way, when the Vice-Chancellor went to invite him, he saw Janggi, the former leader of the trade.”
“You saw Jang Tae-soo? Isn’t he famous for his faithfulness in the business world! If you saw him, you would invite him. Why did you invite Hua Tuo?”
“The Vice-Chancellor was also surprised to see Jang Tae-soo and tried to invite him, but he refused and invited Hwa-ta.”
“Okay, then send someone right away to invite Taesoo Jang. He could mend my back.”
“yes.”
When the daughter-in-law sent the governor to bring organs, the surname had her to examine herself right away.
“Tae-soo, how is my condition?”
Seong Ji-joo did not dare to let go of his words, even though Jang-gi had resigned from the position of governor and was working as a wandering doctor.
“The impact of falling off the horse twisted my backbone and compressed my nerves. It looks like you’ve already managed it with acupuncture and moxibustion… Since it’s severe, I think you’ll need to use acupuncture and moxibustion while correcting it with Daoin Angyo.”
“I tried Doin An Gyosul, but I didn’t see any improvement.”
“The Taoin Angyosul I am trying to do is a practical and effective transformation of what was written in the Naejing by Dr. Hwa. Maybe if you take it, you will feel it gradually getting better.”
While listening to the janggi’s words, Sung Ji-joo tilted her head for a moment.
“Is Congressman Hwa called Hwa-ta by any chance? My daughter-in-law complimented me.”
