Episode 1101 This kind of reward is worth receiving. (1)
“Keuung.”
Hyunyoung threw off the blanket and stood up. He habitually turned his head to look at the window and frowned slightly.
‘Has the sun risen?’
I overslept a little late today.
Normally, it would be impossible to oversleep, but while the disciples went to Gangnam, they stayed up all night without a wink for several days and nights, and the accumulated fatigue seemed to hit them all at once.
“Oh my, it’s a bone.”
I was patted on the shoulder. Although he is learning martial arts and keeping his body in order, it seems that he cannot overcome age.
He completely removed the blanket and sat cross-legged on the spot. Only after finishing the fortune-telling breakfast, which was a habit, did I get up and change my clothes.
“Hmm.”
Before heading out the door, he closed his eyes slightly.
Volcanoes is experiencing success after success. But that’s why we need to be more vigilant.
Happiness always comes with misfortune. If you become arrogant or intoxicated with success just because you are a little successful, you will inevitably pay the price.
‘You have to be careful.’
These are things that young disciples easily miss. He who is at least one year older must first be on guard and comfort him.
Hyeonyoung smiled slightly evilly.
“Then, shall we try picking some pods today?”
Hyeonyoung, who had decided to become a ghost today for the sake of her students, resolutely opened the door and went out. But his resolve completely collapsed before even a single meal had passed.
“…What is all this…”
Hyeonyoung muttered with a blank face as she stood at the entrance to the manor.
A mountain of luggage was blocking my view. There was something unidentifiable piled up in a mess not only inside the manor but also outside the entrance to the manor.
“…Did you say the demonic cults are going to invade here? “Are you going to evacuate?”
“Oh no. “That’s not it…”
Baeksang answered, wiping the sweat from his forehead.
“People started coming in the morning and thanked us for defeating the demonic religion…”
“This?”
“yes.”
“All of this?”
Hyeonyoung’s pupils trembled violently, as if an earthquake had occurred.
As he raised his head along the piled up load, he grabbed the back of his neck before he could even see the end of it.
“oh my. The back of my neck…!”
“Are you okay?”
“…Is this all?”
“There is no place to pile more inside, so now the disciples are receiving items from outside the manor and stacking them.”
“what?”
A spark lit up in Hyeonyoung’s eyes.
“Does this guy have a mind or does he not have one? You said you liked it so much? “Are these people who are raking in money with pitchforks without thinking about what they bring in from the poor people who are having a hard time making a living?”
Baeksang was scared and threw up his hands.
“Oh my gosh, Elder. Is that possible? Of course I declined, saying it was okay. But what can I do with something that is given to you so recklessly?”
“…are you being reckless?”
“Why don’t you accept this even though it’s nothing special? What can I say to you when you say that is the only price your life is worth? No matter how much I try to stop him, he throws me away and runs away…” “
…huh heh heh.”
Hyeonyoung just laughed as if it was ridiculous.
It is not something new that items sent from all over the world have piled up in a volcano. Hyeonyoung has also seen this many times. But that and this case are different.
The gifts that have come to Huashan so far were sent by influential figures in Shaanxi to gain the favor of Huashan. No matter how you look at it, it is difficult to say that it was sent with a pure heart. To put it bluntly, it was a bribe.
But aren’t the meanings of the things piled up here completely different?
The volcano will soon leave the Yangtze River basin and go to Shaanxi. What can the people of this region do to ingratiate themselves with them?
That means that all of these were truly items given by the local people as a sign of pure gratitude.
“Hehehe….”
Hyeonyoung let out a laugh whose meaning was hard to guess, and as if possessed, she approached the pile of luggage and unpacked one of the items at the bottom.
The neatly bundled bag was filled with grain that was not particularly valuable. Hyeonyoung looked at it quietly and gently touched it with her fingertips.
“…this precious thing…”
The rare gifts sent by powerful people may be expensive, but they could not be ‘precious’ to Hyeonyoung. How could it be meaningful for those who have extra money to send it out as a small gesture?
But not this grain.
Those living in the Yangtze River basin have finally escaped the clutches of the waterway. These are people who do not find it easy to feed themselves every day. Out of gratitude, such people brought less of the grain they needed to eat during the winter.
How can this grain be inferior to such treasures?
“There are a lot of little things, but most of them are edible.”
“….”
“But there is so much of it that it is not easy to store it. We need to arrange for a suitable merchant and sell it…”
“What are you doing, you idiot?”
Hyunyoung turned his head and turned on the double wick. There was anger in his eyes as he glared at the white elephant.
“What are you selling?”
“And the grain….”
“Is this guy crazy?”
Hyeonyoung’s eyes were bloodshot.
“What kind of thing is this! What kind of thing is this? Are you judging? Are these things that can be exchanged for money? The ones left here are insectivores who eat their food to the point where cows are like big brothers, so just feed them all! “Why are you judging this!”
“Now, Elder. You can eat grains, but meat and vegetables that come in right away won’t spoil right away…”
“Eat it all!”
As Hyeonyoung spewed fire from her mouth, Hyeonjae quietly closed his mouth.
“Eat it all without leaving a single morsel behind! “If you don’t, you will all be ruined!”
Baeksang’s face turned black.
Of course, these people here are the main culprits who hurt Hyeonyoung’s stomach by eating five or six times the amount of food that an ordinary man would eat. But even so, how is it possible to eat all of the food that could fill ten huge barns within a few days?
“Oh no….”
“It’s noisy! Feed me lunch today! “Spread it all out!”
“….”
“Do you understand?”
“Yes yes….”
“Tsk.”
Hyeonyoung clicked her tongue with a disapproving expression and looked at the piled up gifts with new eyes.
Well… it will be difficult for young disciples to understand.
For some, negotiation is a matter of choice, but for others, it is so dazzling that they cannot bear to look at it.
In the past, when the volcano was at Baekcheokgandu, Hyeonyeong could not even dream of joining a charlatan. For some people, even if they have the ability, it may be just something they can’t do if it’s too much trouble, but for Hyeonyeong and other wise men, going to the guild was something dazzling.
What allowed them to endure in that difficult life was the vain hope that one day they too would become proud warriors of a powerful nation, fighting for the suffering civilians and spreading the name of Hwasan.
This is the hope that I gave up little by little every time my hair, reflected in my longing, gradually faded to white, and I realized that youth does not last forever.
Hyeonyoung carefully put down the grain she had been caressing.
“…You’re not wrong.”
“yes?”
“no.”
Hyeonyoung answered bluntly and turned her head. I didn’t want to show my face to my students right now.
After taking some time to manage her expression, Hyunyoung looked back and asked.
“So are there still people out there?”
“yes. “The disciples are receiving the burden now.”
“Let’s go.”
“yes!”
The white elephant quickly stepped forward. I followed him, and after a while, I saw people lined up, carrying something.
After waiting, a large man arrived in front of the disciples, snorted and held out the things in his hands.
“I don’t know if monks eat meat, but I couldn’t remember anything in particular, so I brought some of this.”
“thank you. “We also eat meat.”
“Thank goodness.”
The young man spoke bluntly and almost threw the bundle into the arms of his disciples.
“…It seems like a lot.”
“I guess there are a lot of things!”
“Thank you.”
In response to his blunt attitude, the disciples wiped the sweat from their foreheads and accepted the luggage.
“Where do you live…”
“Okay. “You know what.”
“…Oh yeah.”
The man turned around as if he had no regrets, but instead glanced at Hwasan’s disciple.
“Thank you.”
Cheongsang, who had received the luggage, looked at the man with questioning eyes.
“There is an old mother. “If he had to take refuge, he wouldn’t have been able to withstand the harsh wind outside, so he would have been stuck here and died.”
“….”
“Thanks to you, I survived. Thank you.”
Cheongsang looked at him blankly for a moment and then smiled.
“I just did what I had to do.”
“Hmm.”
The man nodded, then turned around and walked away.
Hyunyoung stared at the man’s back and then turned his gaze to the side. The bottom of the bag was wet, as if the meat had just been slaughtered.
“…White Shark.”
“Yes, Elder.”
“Go and call more disciples. The weather is cold and the line is too long. “If you can’t refuse, you should at least reduce the time you spend standing there.”
“yes? Right now, Cheongmyeong is beating up the kids… No, they’re training them, so they won’t let you go anymore, right?”
“Just say I called you and come out. No, tell Cheongmyeong to bring everyone who is training, including him, and get their luggage first.”
“That training…”
“Come on.”
“yes! “Elder.”
The white elephant rushed inside. No matter how much of a bastard Cheongmyeong is, he doesn’t complain about the instructions of Jang Mun-in and Elder Hyeon-yeong, so there won’t be any problem.
Hyeonyoung silently looked at the people in line.
A man with messy hair, an old woman with a bent back due to age, and a woman standing holding a child’s hand with rough hands were all holding something in their hands and looking at Hwasan’s disciples with envious eyes.
“Well…”
Hyeonyoung opened her mouth as if to say something, but then closed it again. I was about to turn my head, but suddenly someone’s voice passed my ear.
“Didn’t it look nice?”
Hyunyoung glanced behind him and spoke bluntly.
“When did you arrive?”
“In a few hours ago.”
Hyeonjong was looking at him with a grin.
“A gentleman named Jang Moon-in is sometimes free. “Why are you coming all the way here to see something?”
“No matter how busy you are, there is always something to see.”
“Then would you like to lend a hand?”
Hyeonjong laughed quietly at Hyeonyoung’s words.
“We are not the ones who should greet them. “Isn’t that right?”
Hyeonyoung also nodded silently at those words.
“Consultation is something that should not be carried out with the expectation of reciprocation. “The moment you expect something in return, it becomes a transaction rather than a collaboration.”
“….”
“But….”
Hyeonjong said.
“If it’s this kind of reward… then it’s worth it.”
Hyeonyoung only pursed her lips. I couldn’t open my mouth because I felt like a strange sound would come out.
At that time, I saw disciples running from afar, panting.
“It’s work!”
“shit! “I can work!”
“I will do it! Please do it for me!”
Hyeonyoung burst out laughing when she saw her students running excitedly as if working was better than training and Cheongmyeong trudging behind her with her mouth out.
“Move quickly! “You lazy things!”
Hyeonyoung’s bright voice was filled with vitality that had been hard to find for a while.
