169 Chapter 42 (1/2)
Time pa.s.sed like an arrow.
For the past fifteen days, Kanghyok did his best.
So did Joon Huh, who, with a haggard face, was sitting beside him.
Dolsok and Makbong, who a.s.sisted them along the way, were already exhausted.
Even Yoju, who had been drawing Kanghyok's medical activities, seemed to find it difficult to draw as skillfully as she had before. Her drawing speed had reduced noticeably.
Only Yoni was still active, busy with preparing an event to celebrate the elimination of smallpox in the village.
”The 14-day period I promised to you is over now,” said the mayor, looking at Kanghyok with a sorry expression.
”Oh, I think that's no problem at all.”
Leaning against a tree on the hillside, he was looking down at the village.
It was a quiet and peaceful village. As almost all the villagers gathered at the hill, there was no one left in the village.
Thanks to Kanghyok's quick measures to stem the spread of smallpox, there were no more new patients with smallpox.
Most of them managed to get by after they were treated with Kanghyok's cow pus and Joon Huh's herbal medicine.
Sometimes, Kanghyok heard some painful screaming on the wind. They were patients experiencing hemorrhagic smallpox.
As Kanghyok was not a G.o.d, he could not treat such patients. All he could do was reduce their extreme pain before they take their last breath.
”Thank you so much for your great work! This village avoided a disaster thanks to you.”
The mayor gave a satisfied smile. The mayor already submitted to the central government a comprehensive report on how quickly he acted to stop smallpox and how he coped with it.
Of course, he briefly mentioned the names of Kanghyok and Joon Huh in the report.

”You're welcome, sir. All thanks to you and my father Sungmun.”
”I love your humility. By the way, can I now perform the exorcism?”
”Yeah, I think the whole village can come.”
”Great. Very good.”
Giving out a hearty laugh, the mayor went out to see the shamans.
Looking at him, Dolsok called out to Kanghyok, ”Master.”
”What?”
”That mayor seems to be doing great.”
”Yeah, look at his rank.”
”No, that's not what I mean. He didn't take any v.i.a.g.r.a for the past fifteen days.”
”Oh, I see…”
That was true. He didn't seek v.i.a.g.r.a at all up to now.
He might have sought pleasure by stopping by a gisaeng house secretly.
Given that the mayor was a womanizer, it was really commendable for him to suppress his soaring s.e.xual desires.
”Yeah, you're right, Dolsok,” said Kanghyok, as if he was touched by the mayor's abstinence.
At that moment, the mayor came back hurriedly.
”By the way, I forgot that… hahaha. I can take it from now on, right?”
And he held out his hand awkwardly.
”I should have given you much earlier. Here you go, sir.”
”Good, good!”
And then the mayor went to see the shamans.
”Master.”
”Yes?”
”I'm going to take back what I said about the mayor a moment ago.”
”I agree, haha.”
Both were giggling for some time after the mayor left.
”By the way, what's the pill that the mayor took?” When Kanghyok turned back, he found that Makbong was standing behind them.
He seemed to have figured out what Kanghyok and Dolsok talked about the mayor.
'What a good name you have! Makbong, good name.'
'Bong' had the same p.r.o.nunciation as a slang word figuratively referring to a man's p.e.n.i.s.
How could Kanghyok give v.i.a.g.r.a to Makbong who would recklessly use it?
Kanghyok hurriedly turned his head.
”Nope, I can't give it to you.”
”What is it for, sir? Please, give me just one pill.”
”No, you really don't need it.”
When Kanghyok looked at his pants, his p.e.n.i.s looked like it was starting to get erect, as if he was thinking of something lewd.
Kanghyok stared at him with a suspicious eye.
Nonetheless, Makbong was trying to curry favor with him, shaking his shoulders.
”Please, master, give me just one pill.”
”Nope, you might have to have your p.e.n.i.s cut if something goes wrong.”
”Really? How could you be so mean? I'm a man, sir.”
”I mean it. If you take it, you could…”
”Oh my G.o.d… You really don't want to give it to me,” Makbonggrumbled with a dissatisfied look. However, he didn't dare to challenge Kanghyok.
”Let's go, master,” said Dolsok.
While Kanghyok was controlling Makbong's s.e.xual desires, it seemed as if they had finished with preparing the exorcism performance.
”Doctor Huh, let's go. As this is a feast celebrating the end of smallpox, let's go together.”
”Sure. Oh, my waist hurts!” said Joon Huh, barely raising his body.
Stopping her drawing for a moment, Yoju also followed them.
The small square on the hill was already crowded with all the village people.
