Chapter 192: Chapter 65

These days Kanghyok was staying at Sungryong Yu's residence.

He couldn't find any better house than Sungryong's in and around Konchondong in Hanyang.

Sungryong's house put even the one offered by the mayor of Suwon in the shade.

Kanghyok has been enjoying a happy and comfortable life every day since the surgery.

However, he felt somewhat uncomfortable about Sungryong's constant moaning due to post surgical pain.

“Are you alright, sir?”

“It's killing me. Are you sure it's getting better?”

Sungryong had to test his maximum patience when he had to p.o.o.p after surgery.

For Kanghyok cut open the bulging hemorrhoids.

Sungryong complained about the extreme pain every day.

“Yes, it's getting better. Don't you feel much better now?”

“That's true, but…”

Fortunately his hemorrhoids were getting better very fast day by day.

Every morning when he checked Sungryong's condition, Kanghyok felt satisfied.

“Now, start the sitz bath, sir.”

“Gee…”

Sungryong followed his instruction without any objection.

Soaking his hips in very warm water was pretty much effective.

And Kanghyok's treating methods were unique, which other Joseon doctors could not imitate.

“Do you feel good?”

“Yeah. I see that the bleeding has really decreased.”

Sungryong murmured, looking at the blood spreading in the basin.

At first the water became red with blood as soon as he touched his hips in very warm water.

But not it took some time to see the blood spreading slowly.

“Now, put your hips here.”

“Oh, okay.”

Though it was very humiliating for him to show his hips to Kanghyok, Sungryong now got accustomed to it thanks to his kind care.

“Very good now, sir.”

“Really? Thanks.”

“Let me apply some medicine.”

“Sure.”

Kanghyok suddenly waved at Dolsok, who was standing at a distance.

Dolsok quickly came running, holding a small pottery box.

Kanghyok pun on gloves to apply the medicine.

“Here you are, master.”

“Good. Is it enough?”

“Yes, master. I've already made more than ten medicine boxes.”

“Great.”

As guinea pigs, the bandit members' use was indefinite.

They were now busy with brewing medicinal herbs at the house offered by the mayor to Kanghyok.

'I wish I had steroid ointments!'

Instead Kanghyok had to use the so-called jaungo, medicinal herb brewn with herbaceous plant and Korean angelica root.

“You might feel chilly when I apply it on your a.n.u.s.”

“Okay.”

Then Kanghyok applied jaungo around his a.n.u.s with great care.

'Oh my… It stinks!'

Though he took the sitz bath, the stink was still there.

Kanghyok took off his gloves and threw them away quickly.

Sungryong put on his pants again.

As the pants with a hole in the back were specially designed for Sungryong, his hips were openly seen.

“Now, please take this medicine.”

“Sure. This medicine doesn't taste bitter, but it's very effective.”

“I'm glad to hear that, sir.”

Kanghyok gave him antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs as well as antacids.

Putting them into his mouth quickly, Sungryong asked him, “In how long do you think I will completely recover?”

“In ten days, I guess.”

“Oh, that's giving me a headache. It's been a while since I visited the royal palace last.”

“Don't you think the king would forgive you for your absence. I heard that you were sick in bed for about a month when you collapsed because of this hemorrhoid pain.”

How could he suffer from hemorrhoids for a month?

Kanghyok could not understand at all.

As the pain was so severe, Sungryong even thought of resigning.

If he had resigned at that time, it would have been very difficult for Soonsin to bring about brilliant achievements during j.a.panese invasion of Joseon.

It was not an overstatement to say that the fate of Joseon depended on Sungryong's hemorrhoids.

“You won't have the recurrence of hemorrhoids.”

“Let me keep my fingers crossed. Oh, he's bringing our breakfast tables.”

With a sullen face Sungryong pointed to a servant carrying breakfast for them.

Once he had breakfast, he would have to take a dump anyway.
