Novel Return of Mount Hua Sect Chapter 469

“Open the door!”

“…….”

“Open this door now! You guys are sick right now, aren’t you? I’m a doctor! We need to see your condition, so open the door right now! Come on!”

“…….”

The answer did not come back, no matter how hard they tried. Tang So-so raised her eyes as Baek Chun sighed and turned around.

“Sasuk.”

“Huh?”

“Break it down.”

“…….”

“What are you doing? Break it right now!”

“G- Got it!”

Smash!

Baek Chun gripped the door tightly and yanked it open.

Tang So-so rushed in as soon as the door fell off. Baek Chun, who had thrown the door open, followed quickly.

“Do- Don’t come!”

The two people inside screamed in terror. Another woman, trembling like an aspen while holding a knife…

‘That…!’

A fire erupted in Tang So-so’s eyes.

“Get out of the way!”

“No- Not my child!”

“I’m not trying to hurt you. Get out of my way! The child is gonna die!”

Tang So-so yelled, and the woman who was desperately blocking the child flinched. Then she looked back and forth at Tang So-so and Baek Chun, perplexed.

“If you don’t move, I have no choice but to use force. If you don’t want us to be rough, get out of the way!”

“…….”

Although the woman was terrified, tears welled up as if confused. Tang So-so said, looking directly at such a woman.

“I’m a doctor.”

“…….”

“I’ll cure the child for you, so let me see the baby.”

Tang So-so slowly pulled the acupuncture out of her sleeve. The woman, who confirmed the pain with her eyes, quivered and asked.

“A-Are you really a doctor?”

“Yes.”

“Re… Really?”

“The child is dying even at this time.”

Only then did the woman lower her knife and move to the side weakly. Tang So-so urgently sat beside the child and checked the pulse.

“…weak.”

The pulse was faint and weak as if it were about to vanish.

Tang So-so took off her child’s blanket with a relentless hand and undressed him. (Not sure of the child’s gender but will leave it as it is for now.)

“What are you doing, So-so?”

“I have to check the body!”

“The cold wind is coming in…….”

“Then go and block it!”

“Yes!”

Baek Chun ran like the wind and held the torn door to block the entrance. Far away Jo-Gol was also startled and held the door together.

‘I can’t say anything.’

‘Shh. Be quiet. You’ll get beaten.’

As soon as she confirmed that a disease might be circulating in the village, Tang So-so moved as if she had become a different person. Even Yoo Iseol couldn’t talk to her recklessly about how brutal the momentum was.

Tang So-so, who identified the child’s body, frowned.

“Red spot (Erythema/홍반(紅斑))… … . Congestion (울혈(鬱血)) with small red spots.”

With the blanket covering the child again, she opened the child’s mouth and looked inside.

“… … His gums are down.”

It was similar to the man’s symptoms that she had just confirmed.

“Since when has the child been like this?”

“…a month or so ago.”

“What about consciousness?”

“He sleeps a lot, but I’m conscious. But recently, he can’t come back to consciousness…….”

“How was it before the child fell?”

“Be- Before he collapsed?”

Tang So-so looked at the woman and said calmly.

“Don’t be nervous and think about it slowly. Anything different from usual would be great.”

“Yes, yes!”

At the softer voice of Tang So-so, the woman opened her mouth as if she had relaxed a little.

“That …… he suddenly became weak and sleepy. And… he had frequent nosebleeds.”

“Nosebleed?”

“Yes, he was just sitting still and then suddenly.”

Tang So-so seems to be thinking hard and then bites her lips.

“Gather people…….”

Bam, bam, bam!

Then, someone started knocking violently on the door.

Baek Chun looked back at Tang So-so with bewildered eyes. Tang So-so, who was staring at the door for a moment, nodded.

“Open it.”

As Baek Chun and Jo-Gol moved the door sideways, men wearing fur all over their bodies aimed their spears with a hideous force.

“What are you doing!”

“How dare an outsider go on a rampage in our village!”

His eyes were full of vigilance and killing intent.

Baek Chun looked at them with a troubled face. Their eyes are fierce, and the spear they are holding is sharp, but in the end, they are just civilians.

Besides, they were all suffering from a similar disease, their complexion was very pale, and the hand holding the spear was trembling.

“Get out of the way.”

“Chief!”

“Be out of the way.”

As the men moved to the left and right, an old man with small wrinkles stepped forward with a cane.

“…… what’s going on?”

“Are you the Chief of this village?”

“I am. You’re outsiders. I don’t know what’s happening, but get out of the village now.”

“No.”

“……No?”

“Yes, I can’t.”

Tang So-so looked at the child’s forehead and got up from her seat.

“Can’t you see? They’re all sick.”

“I know.”

“If you don’t get proper treatment and stay like this, you will die!”

“…I can’t help it.”

“Huh?”

Tang So-so’s eyes are wide open.

‘What the hell is this old man talking about?’

But the old man shook his head as if it was Tang So-so’s side that didn’t know anything.

“If it is known that outsiders stay here, we will all die anyway. If you intend to think about us, please leave town now.”

It was a very decisive attitude. Baek Chun spoke out to persuade him.

“Old man, we want to cure this disease and help……!”

“Can you face the devil that would emerge as consequences?”

“…….”

“If you don’t leave, we’re in a lot of trouble.”

Then Tang So-so, who was listening, said with a cold face.

“I’m already angry.”

“…….”

“This disease is the devil. If you go on like this, you guys will all die sooner or later! Can’t you see? It’s not about Ice Clan or anything, it’s about this disease right now!”

The old man sighed.

“It is something that cannot be helped by human strength.”

“What?”

“There are demons in the North Sea right now. It is a disease spread by those demons and cannot be cured by human strength.”

“……What do you mean…….?”

Then Baek Chun whispered softly.

“Don’t he mean Magyo?”

“……Magyo spread the disease?”

The old man nodded as he looked at Tang So-so with narrowed eyes.

“It’s a disease I’ve never seen before in my life. This disease arose as the demons began to appear here frequently.”

“…….”

“It can’t be helped by human power.”

“Stop talking nonsense!”

Tang So-so roared.

“There is no such thing as a disease that human hands can’t control!”

“…….”

“Even if you have such a disease, giving up is unacceptable. It’s not about anything else, it’s about life! Don’t be ridiculous about the demon. A doctor does not step down from illness.”

Tang So-so’s eyes stared straight at the old man.

With those burning eyes, the old man gave a low groan.

“…… We’ve tried our best. But…….”

“It’s not done yet.”

“Are you sure you can cure it?”

“Even if I can’t cure it, I won’t let it go like the old man.”

Tang So-so’s eyes and the old man’s intertwined in the air.

The old man, who had been looking at her for a long time, eventually sighed first.

“…Are you sure you’re up for treatment?”

“I’ll do my best.”

“For the best…….”

The old man suddenly turned his head and looked up at the blue sky through the open door. The snow had stopped before he knew it.

“… … That’s something I haven’t heard in a very long time. In this North Sea.”

The old man, who looked at the sky with a bit of bitterness, quietly opened his mouth.

“Um Hyo (엄효(嚴效)).”

“Yes, Chief.”

“Tell the villagers to get a check-up from the doctor. Ask them to cooperate with everything they can.”

“B- But if we did…….”

“It’s the same death. Whether by illness or them.”

“…….”

“Do as she says. I’ll take responsibility.”

“…I see.”

The old man looks back at Tang So-so.

“If you have any problems, come see me.”

“…Thank you.”

“Please, save the people of my village.”

“I’ll try my best.”

After hearing Tang So-so’s answer, the old man quietly nodded his head, turned his body, and went out.

Mount Hua’s disciples unknowingly let out a sigh. But after a while, there was a firm resolution in their eyes.

“So-so! What are we supposed to do now? Ask me to do anything, I’ll do it!”

“Sasuk!”

“Huh?”

“Bring Chung Myung Sahyung. Now!”

“…….”

‘That’s…’

‘Isn’t that a tall order from the start?’

‘Huh?’

People have their own roles.

Farmers should be good at farming, swordsmen should be good at wielding swords, and scholars should be good at learning.

And by any stretch of the imagination, this wasn’t his thing to do.

“So…….”

Chung Myung murmurs with a half-awake face.

“…is this something I must do?”

“Yes.”

“Do I have to?”

“Yes.”

“Do I?”

“Oh, you’re distracting, so please be quiet!”

“…….”

Chung Myung, who closed his mouth at Tang So-so’s cry, looked up with a slightly sad eye. But all he could see was not the blue sky, but a black and dark pot.

“No!”

Chung Myung grabbed the pot that was on his head and screamed.

“You ask me to leave to make a fire and a soup? Why should I be heating this up! Why would I!”

“This place is different from Jungwon, so there is no brazier to hang a big pot!”

“There’s a brazier in the house!”

“It has to break the chimney! And it’s not a place to put up a pot!”

“Then we can make a brazier!”

“Oh, that’s a lot of talks! Really!”

“Huh?”

Chung Myung looked at Tang So-so with a puzzled look.

“The- There’s no above and below…….”

“Where is the top and bottom in Mount Hua Sect, you yangban!” (It’s about top and bottom in the social hierarchy.)

“…….”

As she struck the wedge, dew formed around the corners of his eyes.

‘Cheon Mun Sahyung.’

‘I live like this.’

‘Like this!’

– He’s not even wrong.

“Kaaaaak! This yangban! Is that what you’re gonna say?”

“What did you say?”

“Ughh.”

Chung Myung bowed his head.

‘I’d rather die than suffer.’

Tang So-so said while putting medicinal herbs in a pot.

“I can’t control the fire with a straight-made furnace. The only person who can heat the medicine with the same firepower for a day is Sahyung!”

“…….”

“It’s about saving people. Please do me a favor. There’s really no one but Sahyung. Or all the people here will die. It’s only possible if it’s Sahyung!”

As she continued, Chung Myung’s shoulders subtly rose slightly.

“What… did I say I wouldn’t do it?”

Chung Myung straightens the pot.

“There’s no problem even if it’s two days, so hurry up and start!”

“Thank you, Sahyung! Please heat up the pot a little more for now.”

“Here you go!”

Chung Myung filled the pot with his heat Ki. In an instant, the pot heated up and the water inside began to boil.

The group, who were watching the scene from afar, gave a series of exclamations.

“She’s good at it.”

“She’s really good at coaxing him.”

“I should’ve done that.”

“Amitabha. Tang So-so Siju is being herself, but doesn’t Chung Myung Siju seem like a human while he’s like that?”

“Oh, that’s definitely not it.”

“…….”

The method that Tang So-so chose was not easy and was a great one.

Chung Myung is a grossly vulnerable person to praise, but you can’t bear to compliment him when you get to know him in detail.

Especially for Mount Hua’s disciples. But how can she be so naturally complimenting and bossing him around like that…..

“But as she has heated up the medicine, does she already know what the disease is?”

Yoo Iseol shook her head at Jo-Gol’s question.

“She doesn’t know yet.”

“Hmm…?”

Baek Chun sighed and replied instead.

“First of all, she says that it is urgent, so we need to use some medicine to boost their energy. It is not a fundamental treatment.”

“…….”

“It was fortunate that we brought a bunch of medicinal herbs from Mount Hua. If it weren’t for that, we wouldn’t be able to do anything.”

It was Mount Hua’s disciples who thanked Hyun Young for his preparedness.

“But…… we can’t cure it with just supplements.”

“Let’s discuss the urgent symptoms and find the disease.”

“…It could be a disease we don’t know about.”

“Even so, we have to do our best.”

Yoon Jong, who was listening to the conversation quietly, opened his mouth with a slightly subdued voice.

“Those who regard a living person (활인(活人)) lightly are not entitled to carry Mount Hua’s sword. Those who do not seek to save the person in front of him shall not discuss Tao and Righteousness!”

“… … No, I’m not saying don’t do it… … .”

Jo-Gol sighed and said.

“Most of the villagers had symptoms…… Isn’t this an epidemic? If we get sick, this trip to the North Sea…….”

“That’s enough.”

But Baek Chun firmly cut off his word.

“You may be right, but I don’t want to say that in front of Mount Hua’s youngest, who is doing her best right now.”

“……Yes, Sasuk.”

Baek Chun closed his eyes more gently to Tang So-so, who poured medicinal herbs into the pot, to which she devoted her heart and soul to.

‘I hope she doesn’t get hurt.’

The burden on Tang So-so’s shoulder was too heavy.
