< Hebei Peng Family 3 >
The craftsman and the elder of the family in charge of the medicine shop took turns feeling the child’s pulse and made expressions as if they couldn’t figure out what was going on.
It felt like I couldn’t find any problems that could cause the symptoms that the head of the Peng family described.
It’s just that she likes sweets, but just looking at her, her cheeks were white and cute, so she didn’t look like she was sick at all.
I’m a little worried about juvenile diabetes because I keep getting sugar from somewhere.
Because the candy that the child is eating is a snack that contains a lot of sugar.
In my previous life, there was talk that it was causing an increase in childhood diabetes or something like that.
‘I’ve already seen three, but where do they keep coming from?’
At that time, I was watching the child licking the candy deliciously on one side.
The continuing conversation between the head of the Peng family and the adults.
“You mean you sometimes get short of breath and get big red spots all over your body? And in severe cases, you even lose consciousness?”
“Yes. My pulse sometimes gets weak and I get tachycardia.”
According to the description of the head of the family, the child’s symptoms were large red spots that appeared and disappeared all over the body.
And then there’s shortness of breath, loss of consciousness, low blood pressure, and a racing heart.
As time passes, the symptoms will gradually improve and even the person will regain consciousness.
The craftsman tilted his head and asked the head of the Peng family again.
“Did the members of parliament see it?”
“Don’t be ridiculous. Just leave those swindlers alone! My child almost suffocated several times, and you don’t know why···.”
“What about the doctor and the medicine immortal?”
“They said they don’t know where he is now… I showed him to Yakseon’s disciples once, and they said the child was healthy. But at the end, one of Yakseon’s disciples made a strange noise… I was about to beat him up!”
“That strange sound? What does that mean?”
I wondered what the disciple of Yakseon had said that made him say such strange things, but after listening to his story, I realized that it was not so much strange things as rather quite serious things.
“Okay… I suspect it’s a sign of addiction….”
“poisoning!?”
The atmosphere in the Gajujeon Hall became tense at the mention of addiction.
His last words made it clear why he had brought his daughter all the way from the far north.
When it comes to symptoms of poisoning, you would want to get treatment at our Sachon Dangga, which knows the most about poisons.
Here, Sacheondangga is a family that is more serious about poison than anything else, and when it comes to poison, Sacheondangga is the one.
‘So you came to see a specialist? But we’re not specialists in treatment, we’re specialists in funerals…’
But it’s the same lion’s turn, the one who needs the pangs is the doctor, but we are the undertaker.
We are not specialists in poison treatment, but rather in poison funerals, so we wondered how much help that would be.
Although the Tang family’s medical skills are excellent and the craftsman’s medical skills are also excellent, living in the Tang family, I realized that our mainstream specialty is funerals using poison.
“Hmm… I understand why you came here. If it’s as you described, it’s similar to the symptoms of addiction.”
The head of the Peng family opened his eyes at the craftsman’s reply.
“I, really!? I never believed it even though I heard that from my disciple, the head of the Tang family. This is ridiculous…”
“How could something like that happen in Pangga···.”
“A poisoning incident in Pangga···.”
The Pengga family’s violent reaction and the atmosphere becoming even more tense than before.
At his reaction, the other adults also looked very sorry and serious and their words trailed off.
‘what?’
When a child shows signs of addiction, it’s a big deal, but the adults’ reactions are a bit strange.
It wasn’t a feeling of pity for the child or anything like that, it was more like a huge problem at home.
I couldn’t quite understand the atmosphere, but then I heard my sister’s voice quietly whispering in my ear.
[The fact that your daughter is addicted means that there may be a culprit within your family who poisoned the child, so it’s serious. That means there may be a traitor within your family.]
I looked at my sister with a surprised expression at her explanation.
Looking at the fact that they also have the XX generation like us, it seems like they are a family that does something, but if they poisoned their child, it means that, as my older sister said, it may have been betrayed by their own family members.
This is definitely a big deal.
Even if we look at our family, the meaning of family in Sega goes beyond just people living in the same fence, and it has a bigger meaning, so the story that one of them betrayed us was not a simple story.
As expected, the head of the Peng family spoke loudly and seriously, as if he didn’t even want to think about it.
“Let’s not talk about that anymore! I don’t want to make my family suspicious!”
“Yes, it’s not certain yet, so let’s not jump to conclusions. Addiction doesn’t necessarily happen because someone did something bad.”
“Is that so? If so?”
“There may be some poisonous plants in your house that you don’t know about, or maybe there are decorations made from poisonous trees. So, could you tell me more about them?”
In such a serious atmosphere, the craftsman tried to lighten the mood by comforting the head of the household.
And then he started asking me more detailed questions.
After all, treatment originally begins with a medical interview.
“Thank you. The head of the Tang family. And what are the details?”
“When did those symptoms occur, and where did they occur?”
“hmm···.”
The head of the Peng family is deeply thinking about something in response to the craftsman’s question.
Then he began to answer the questions his father-in-law had asked him as he remembered them.
“Usually inside the Pangga. The child’s quarters or the Pangga’s private quarters. There have also been times when I collapsed in the training ground. It happened two or three times at night, and about four times during the day.”
“There’s nothing similar about them.”
It seems like the craftsman was trying to find something in common through the questionnaire, but the answer was completely devoid of any commonality.
As the story went on, the craftsman’s expression hardened.
In the end, no income was gained on the first day, and the Peng family was assigned a small, empty hut.
It was a place with a nice view near Danggasan Mountain, but since Sacheon Dangga was currently overflowing with guests, they had no choice but to assign an empty Sahewon.
This was because the guest reception hall was already full of people from the Murim Alliance, Ami, Cheongseongpa, and Mudangpa who had arrived earlier.

And it was decided to observe the child’s condition for the time being.
It wasn’t clear whether it was an addiction or a disorder.
It shouldn’t be like that, but everyone agreed that it would be better to see the child’s symptoms at least once so that they could see and get a feel for it.
***
After dinner, my older sister came to my room.
With something like a small medicine cabinet with a few books and a small bottle of medicine in it.
-Pong!
Every time I open the bottle of medicine, a fragrant scent spreads out.
My sister opened the lids of two of the many bottles and let me smell them, then asked me if I could tell the difference in scent.
“Do you know the difference between this scent and this scent?”
“Hmm… isn’t it the same scent?”
“No. This is the scent of green apples. This is the scent of ripe apples.”
Both have the scent of apples, but my sister says that the smell should be distinguished by whether they are ripe or not.
The reason why I was suddenly smelling the scent with my older sister was because she had started training me to become a full-fledged sommelier.
‘A poisonous perfumer? Anyway.’
To become a ten poison warrior, you had to pass a test to distinguish the scent of poison.
That’s why I was getting tutoring from my older sister, who had already passed the exam with excellent grades.
“Do you feel any difference?”
“No. Not at all···.”
All apples smell like apples, but what is a green apple and what is the scent of a ripe apple?
As I awkwardly smiled with an apologetic expression, my older sister raised one finger and explained with a stern expression.
“It may be hard to understand why the Tang family practices smelling this kind of incense, but if you listen to the story, you will understand why it is absolutely necessary. Listen carefully, So-ryong.”
“Yes, ma’am.”
“The reason why we distinguish the scent of apples is because the scent of the parasitic poison that the Sapa people often use has the scent of unripe apples. However, the scent of a ripe apple is not the scent of parasitic poison, but the scent of wild apple poison. That is why we learn to distinguish among all the scents first.
And the nose of the Dang family is also used as a symbol to show the Dang family member from the outside. Although identity cards can be counterfeited, the nose of the Dang family cannot be imitated.
If someone outside suspects that Xiaolong is a member of the Tang family, they can prove it with their nose.”
‘Oh. So that’s what it meant?’
My older sister said that when someone claims to be a member of the Tang family, their sense of smell is used as evidence to show that they are a member of the Tang family.
That was when I thought I had to work harder.
It seemed as if there was a commotion beyond the courtyard, and a servant was seen running in hurriedly and heading towards the craftsman’s residence outside the open window.
“What’s going on?”
My sister asked as she approached the window.
Sibi answered the question with an anxious expression.
“Miss, I heard that the lady of Pangga has collapsed.”
“Are you a young lady?”
The story of a boy named Peng Yeong-yeong who collapsed.
My sister looked at me and said.
“Little Dragon, let’s go!”
“All right.”
So I left the residence and headed to the Sahewon where the Peng family was living.
I was curious to see how things would turn out since the little boy had collapsed.
A large zelkova tree stands in the backyard, which we arrived at a little later.
In the pavilion lit by lanterns, a child was lying with a bloodless face, and the head of the household was putting his hand inside the child’s clothes and breathing life into the child.
It’s the same as when the craftsman brought back the life of the village chief’s granddaughter in Haenam Island.
“What’s going on!? Penggaju.”
The craftsman and the elders of the pharmacy came running right after.
The head of the Peng family, who had caught his breath, shook his head and answered.
“I don’t know. He was sitting in the pavilion when he suddenly started coughing and collapsed.”
“Let me check my pulse.”
The craftsman handed the child over to the head of the Peng family and checked his pulse.
And after a while, he said with a look of disbelief.
“It’s really strange. The symptoms are similar to those of addiction···.”
-Thud! Thud! Thud!
Then, the head of the Peng family suddenly started hitting his own face three times like a madman.
“Go, my lord!”
“Peng Gaju!”
“What are you doing all of a sudden, Peng Gaju!?”
People were startled by his sudden and impulsive actions.
A double nosebleed that runs down his face from how hard he hit himself.
He said, spitting out a tooth.
“Ugh! I’m sorry! I couldn’t forgive myself for doubting my family for a moment!”
“Go, go···”
What the head of the Peng family said meant that the head of the Peng family was momentarily suspicious of the warriors who followed him.
He must have brought someone he could trust, but the fact that his daughter was poisoned here too suggests that the warriors who followed him must have suspected that it could be so.
‘It’s possible for a person to do that. It’s my daughter’s business.’
The daughter collapsed from addiction, and only the Peng family lived in the shack.
Although the food was delivered by the Sibi, if the poisoning was continuing from the Pangga, it was inevitable that only the warriors who followed him would be suspected.
An atmosphere of contemplation at his words and actions.
It was then that the large, distracted warriors of Pangga began to act impulsively, shedding tears.
-Thud! Thud thud!
The warriors of the Peng family knelt down on the spot and started hitting their own faces just like the head of the Peng family.
“It is our fault that we were unable to stop the young lady from becoming addicted even though we were there!”
“It’s big!”
The Pang family members are mass-producing patients when even one patient would be enough.
The craftsman shouted with a surprised face at the sudden actions of the Pangga family.
“Peng Gaju, stop the warriors. Calm down these people! Why are you acting like this when it hasn’t even been determined that they’re addicted yet! We need to check their blood too···.”
But the Pangga family doesn’t stop.
He started to create a crucible of madness by punching himself in the face again.
“What about So, So-ryong?”
The voice of a bewildered older sister.
Pengga were really unique characters.
And thinking that they were really troublesome people, he shouted in a loud voice.
“Everyone, calm down! There is a way to confirm whether the young lady’s symptoms are a disease or poisoning, and to prove that everyone is innocent!”
Only then did the punching stop.
The Peng family, who had been fighting a blood feud even though the blood sect had not even appeared for a moment, looked at me.
And the urgent voice of the head of the Peng family approaching me.
“What the heck is that!?”
Even though I am not a medical professional, I can say this with confidence because this is a method I use to treat sick pets.
This is the best way to find out the cause of the pain.
“Yes, first, let’s take off all of Lady Paeng Yeong-yeong’s clothes… Heuk.”
“What did you just say!?”
You have to listen to what people have to say until the end. The head of the Peng family grabs people by the collar so they can’t speak in situations where they might be misunderstood.
The head of the Peng family grabbed me by the collar with his eyes wide open, and my older sister looked at me with an expression of disbelief.
‘No, it’s not what you think!’
It was really unfair.
