004 When knowledge that you do not know comes out (2)

It was absolutely charismatic.

Richard was handed over to his concubine Isilia.

Then he drew his sword from his side.

Sreung!

Then he pointed the sword at the nape of Lee Hwan and spoke in French.

“Do you speak French?”

“… … Yes?”

“I asked if you could speak French.”

Ben-Heren’s eyes without a single flutter.

The criminal took the form by chewing and spitting out a few words, but Ben-Heren felt that the seeds were different.

Is this the halo of nobility?

Hana Lee Hwan also believed that he must be a seed with a formidable charisma.

He is the grandson of a veteran of the Korean War.

‘Damn, I’m the grandson of a veteran of the Korean War who received the Taegeuk Medal of Merit!’

He nodded silently.

Then Ben-Heren thrust the sword a little deeper.

“Can you really save that child?”

“At least, I think it’s better than treating it in such an absurd way. Even an adult wouldn’t be able to take a pint of blood.”

If Lee Hwan made a mistake here once, he could have lost his life.

“Can you really risk your life?”

It really was like gambling.

However, he always showed the pride and guts of being the grandson of the hero of the country.

“… … In Joseon, there is a saying that there is a saying, “Jungcheongeum”. A man’s life is something that, once spoken, cannot be picked up.”

For a moment, the feeling that Ben Heren’s eyes seemed to shine a little strangely passed by.

Richard Benheren took the sword.

Even if he entered the dark house, Ben Heren’s glaring eyes were directed at Lee Hwan.

It was a momentum that could easily get rid of at least one person if done wrong.

‘… … Is this the life you’ve only heard of?’

Cheeky!

It’s almost like a spark is bouncing around.

However, Lee Hwan did not retreat even an inch from the glow of his eyes.

Even though he didn’t have the same force as Ben Heren, he still had one big gut, so we decided to have a snowball fight between men and women.

Even though it was a ten thousandth of a second, Ben-Heren smiled softly as he saw such an illness.

“He’s a fun guy.”

“Yes… … ?”

“not. Get up.”

After collecting the sword, Richard glared at the two doctors like lightning.

Then they hesitated and kept their heads down.

“I, there, Nari… … .”

“I heard you guys seem to have less medical knowledge than that kid. What happened?”

“That, that… … .”

“No matter how urgent it is, you’re going to draw a pint of blood from that fragile fluid? Are you going to kill a child?”

“But teaching in college… … .”

“What did you teach in college to slap people with superior medical knowledge and slap them on you?”

“Lord, I have sinned to death!”

“Looks like you were drunk yesterday, but if that boy saves Maria this time, the two of you will be charged with negligence and will not be able to set foot on Dutch soil again. Do you understand?”

Richard beckoned Lee Hwan to rescue his daughter, and he resolutely entered the cabin with the child.

From now on, Lee Hwan’s fate would be different.

‘Let’s focus!’

First of all, Lee Hwan looked closely at the condition of the child.

The child’s body, wrapped tightly in a blanket and cloth, was a ball of fire and his face was full of red.

He washed his hands as clean as possible and pressed against Mary’s abdomen.

In the case of infants, in most cases, appendicitis was difficult to detect by palpation alone.

Fortunately, when the pain level and location were precisely measured, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with the appendix.

Eventually, Lee Hwan put his ear to Maria’s chest and stomach, and then gently closed his eyes.

“Hey! Heh heh, heh heh!”

At first, the sound was difficult to hear as the child cried and then coughed repeatedly.

When the larynx became inflamed and breathing became difficult, this sound was just heard, so the disease was diagnosed as croup.

Fortunately, the croup was not severe.

“Hmm, laryngitis doesn’t seem that bad, but enteritis is the problem.”

Lee Hwan hurriedly looked around.

In Icilia’s room, there was a wooden barrel containing fresh water to eat, and Lee Hwan sniffed the smell.

Recently, Lee Hwan’s physical ability was also developed considerably due to the power of the mystery. It was faint, but there was a fishy smell.

As a baby, it is impossible to live on only breast milk for 24 hours.

Now it was time for Maria to think about baby food, so she must have given her water.

“… … This is why you get gastroenteritis.”

In this era, the most common cause of disease outbreaks and exacerbations was mostly water.

Since they drank almost no fresh water, they were vulnerable to endemic diseases such as dysentery or cholera or bronchial diseases. Even while dehydration continued, they drank dirty water and eventually died.

Lee Hwan decided to purify the water as cleanly as possible.

He tried to purify the water using as many tools as he could find on the ship and use it to heal the child.

“Father Andrew!”

“Yes, Master!”

Andre, who had been rolling his feet outside, entered the cabin.

“Can you get me some gravel, soil and charcoal? I need to purify the water and feed it to the child.”

“If it is charcoal, it must be somewhere. I’ve seen food stocked because it’s supposed to prevent mold from growing.”

“Then bring me some! Hurry up!”

“all right!”

Andre was a man of quick action.

Less than 10 minutes after he left, he brought what Lee Hwan said.

Lee Hwan made a funnel out of paper and gradually laid gravel, sand, and charcoal on it to create a water purifier.

Although the amount of purified water was small, it didn’t take long to make enough to feed a child.

Lee Hwan gave the child clean water.

Then, as if waiting, the child began to drink the water.

“I eat well.”

“… … Are you thirsty?”

“It just makes me thirsty. This is how the fever breaks down.”

After taking a few sips of water, Maria’s face was much better than before.

Perhaps it was clear that he hadn’t eaten anything after squeezing out the diarrhea.

‘I barely escaped dehydration.’

Lee Hwan immediately asked Andre to help make radish juice.

Medicine is medicine, but it is also important to treat the stomach with food when you have an upset stomach or enteritis.

“I would like to try feeding the turnips after grinding them and extracting the juice.”

“Ah, turnips! Yes, that’s the direct effect on an upset stomach.”

The turnips piled up in Lee Hwan’s room were said to have been given to him by merchants in the Qing Dynasty to be used as emergency food.

When I was hungry at night, Lee Hwan cut it off and ate it too, but I didn’t know it was going to be used like this.

However, he was not convinced that he could save the child by that alone.

Apparently, some clear prescription was needed.

‘I think I’ll have to take some medicine.’

That was then.

Lee Hwan’s eyes clouded for a moment, and then a shiver ran through his body.

Paah!

Soon, a great amount of knowledge related to the word medicine started pouring down.

Lee Hwan could not come to his senses for a moment at the feast of vast knowledge that ordinary humans could not afford.

However, when he opened his eyes again, the situation was different.

‘… … what? How do you feel?’

In just a few hours, I felt my brain expanded.

Lee Hwan quickly grabbed the pen and started writing something down with ink on the memo pad.

Shhh!

As if he had heard of a god, the one-strokes continued, and among the ingredients of future western medicine, ingredients that could be used as herbal ingredients were selected.

Although his head was pounding, Lee Hwan immediately ran out of the cabin to find Isilia.

“lady!”

“… … What’s up?”

“I need to get some medicine. I’ll take notes, so can you find a trading post near the coast and get some medicine?”

“It’s about saving my child, but that’s about it.”

“thank you!”

Lee Hwan couldn’t even figure it out on his own, but his brain capacity had nearly doubled.

However, Lee Hwan himself could not even imagine what kind of synergy these phenomena would give him in the future.

Meanwhile, he controlled Maria’s body temperature with a wet towel and dilute radish juice and feed it to Maria.

“Be strong, kid.”

Lee Hwan looked at the child’s expression with a nervous expression.

However, since the turnip was steamed and juiced, there would be almost no bitter taste. Of course, at the same time, it will be a little bland without any particular taste.

“Hey… … , ah ah ah!”

“Even if it doesn’t taste good, you have to eat it.”

He has a fever and has no appetite due to laryngitis.

But if humans do not eat, disease cannot be overcome.

Lee Hwan forced a few more sips of radish juice.

how long has it been since

puffy.

“Ah, feces have come out!”

When I lifted the diaper, there was loose stool and a slight odor from the stool, but as expected by Yi Hwan, it seemed that he had enteritis.

If you are careful about dehydration and repeat diarrhea like this, there is a possibility that harmful bacteria in the intestine will escape and the inflammation will subside.

As Maria continued to struggle with her small and slender body, the sailors found a port with a trading post.

They did all they could to get medicine.

I rowed so hard that my palms were all swollen.

Although crude, they too were doing their best to save this young life.

“Boy, here is the medicine!”

“thank you.”

“By the way, can Maria survive?”

“Sure. Do not worry.”

Immediately, Lee Hwan selected one that suited Maria’s constitution from among the medicinal herbs that showed efficacy for enteritis, and selected only those that did not conflict with each other, and gave a decoction.

After giving Maria three meals a day, she began to show signs of relief.

After half a day, Maria was sweating profusely and the fever went down.

At last, Lee Hwan suddenly thought that Maria and himself lived.

He took Maria and went to Icilia.

Sitting on the deck, she saw her daughter with her arms outstretched and ran to her.

“Maria! Heck, you’re better now!”

“Oh, oh, oh!”

“Thank you, Heavenly Father! Thank you very much! And the dark-haired foreign boy, thank you so much!”

“You’re welcome.”

Sailors who were curious about how Maria was being treated in the meantime began to gather around the child one by one.

Maria, who had been ill for a while, is now babbling properly.

“Wow, Mom!”

“Oh, Maria is talking?!”

“Mom mama mama mama!”

The sailors applauded each other and laughed happily among themselves, and was mesmerized by Maria’s taunts.

It felt like a single flower had bloomed on this desolate merchant ship.

“That little boy really saves a man! It’s a really long life to see.”

“He’s really braver than any other doctor. This kind of person should be a doctor!”

Lee Hwan just scratched the back of his head as if embarrassed.

Then Icilia said to him as if her throat was choked and tears were covering her face.

“… … God’s blessings will follow you in the future. Is there anything you would like to have?”

“Thank you for believing in me.”

“No, tell me what you want! I’ll have to pay off the debt somehow, so I can feel at ease.”

From the beginning, Icilia was a kind and cheerful person.

Such a person became favorable to Lee Hwan, so this was enough for him.

But if there was something he really wanted to give, he asked for some books.

“Then could you give me the code?”

“code of laws? What do lawyers see?”

“yes that’s right. Any law is fine.”

“great! There are no missing books in Richard’s library, so I’ll bring them!”

“Thank you, madam!”

“I will be your supporter from now on. So don’t be discouraged and live proudly!”

Finally, except for Andre, there is a helper to help Lee Hwan.
