Episode 1148 I did everything I had to do. (3)
“Is it over?”
“There’s only a little bit left…”
“Why on earth is yard work such a big deal that I can’t finish it on time every time? “Isn’t this too much laziness?”
“Oh, don’t even talk to me. If you try to finish it on time, you will be criticized. “The elder of Hwasan came and complained so much that he was a waste of money!”
“…You mean Elder Hyeonyoung?”
“I don’t know exactly about Hamza, but that little brat…”
“That’s right.”
“yes. Anyway, he said… there are a lot of people coming and going to the manor, and if it isn’t kept clean, it’s easy for onlookers to see the people gathered here….” ”
…then we’ll have to sweep it up.”
“yes?”
“….”
For those working at the manor, the most feared being was neither Hyeonjong, the leader of the Cheonwoo Maeng, nor Cheongmyeong, the evil spirit of the Cheonwoo Maeng.
King Hyeonjong is gentle to those who have not studied martial arts, but he is a very warm person…. No, he is… In any case, he is an infinitely warm person. Cheongmyeong is not one to discriminate between civilians and civilians and torment them, but since there are people who need to be tormented first, he does not even turn his eyes to others.
To these people, the person who is no different from the Grim Reaper is Hyeonyoung, the housekeeper of Hwasan.
“Not all Taoist monks have a good personality…”
“Uh-huh, this person! Where can you say something like that? “To get hit by lightning.”
“I’m sorry.”
“You should say that quietly, without others seeing.”
“…yes.”
The person who gave advice suddenly turned his head and checked the sky.
“It’s time! “Get out of the way quickly!”
“yes!”
The two people hastily moved to the side. Because it was time for the daily repetition to begin.
‘Oh really.’
‘I see it again today.’
As the doors of the palace opened at the same time as if they had made an appointment, the two people stiffened from tension and swallowed dry saliva.
But the scene that unfolded today was significantly different from usual.
“Eurachachaa!”
“It’s morning!”
“let’s go! To the training ground!”
Before people could be seen, a loud voice burst out. Soon, bandits carrying weapons came pouring out of the open door.
“What? “What is it?”
The workers, who had always walked out limp like half-corpse bodies, started running out so energetically that the startled workers opened their eyes wide.
‘what?’
‘Am I looking at something wrong now?’
But it looks like I didn’t see anything wrong. I saw the people coming out the door stretching vigorously and smiling.
“Ugh! “How can your body be this light?”
“Now I know why everyone’s eyes are rolling while talking about elixirs!”
“I could fight all day!”
“let’s go!”
“I come first!”
The people who came out all started running toward the training ground. The two people standing close to the wall blinked as they watched the people passing by like the wind in front of them.
“hello!”
“yes?”
“you worked hard!”
“Thank you…”
People who had never even made eye contact before greeted me in lively voices. Of course, as soon as I could say hello, he passed by me.
“So what are you training for today?”
“Isn’t it possible to stick with the door owners?”
“okay? “It’s finally the day of revenge!”
“no way. “But since we are the masters of the house, revenge is a bit harsh.”
“Why are you running so fast when you talk like that?”
The bandits disappeared toward the training ground, leaving behind a large cloud of dust. The two people standing close to each other on the side of the road looked at each other with dumbfounded faces.
“You…”
“Yes?”
“…I guess I’ll have to start over from the beginning?”
The person who looked at the messed up road lowered his head with a sigh.
* * *
Those who joined the Cheonwoomaeng all experienced many changes.
Since people who used to live only within one sect had to coexist with other sects, change would have been inevitable, not a choice.
However, among the many people in the Cheonwoo League, the one who changed the most was surprisingly not Muin.
“there!”
A loud scream poured out of Mrs. Chu’s mouth.
“I told you not to lift the pot with two people! It’s heavier than I thought, so accidents happen! “The three of us must stick together!”
“Yes ma’am!”
“Is the chicken far away yet?”
“oh my! It needs to be boiled a little longer. This pot is so big…”
“The fire is weak! Please bring more firewood quickly. “There will be new firewood for sponsorship!”
“yes! yes! “I’m going now!”
It was time for Mrs. Chu to look left and right furiously to see if she had missed anything.
“Madam Boo! “You want more food?”
“A pot just went out, right?”
“Oh my gosh. I must have caught the day so much that as soon as I put the pot down, it all disappeared! Everyone seems to have caught some kind of ghost…”
“Rice! We still need some more rice, so first take out the rice cakes you were planning to serve for dessert. If you want something to eat, you’ll have to wait! “It’s in the basket back there!”
“Yes yes! “I’ll pay it right now!”
“One more pot of rice… no, two more pots! no! Just throw away three pots! hurry!”
“Yes ma’am!”
After giving instructions to let her voice become hoarse, Mrs. Chu wiped the sweat that had come down from the heat covering her face with her sleeve.
‘What kind of fuss is this?’
Meal time in the manor is always reminiscent of a battlefield. But today it seemed to be particularly chaotic.
“ma’am! “There is no food!”
“meat! What about meat? meat!”
“Oh, I wish I had one more chicken.”
The disciples of the Volcano Sect who stuck their heads out through the kitchen door began to cry like hungry baby birds… no, like hungry adult birds.
Mrs. Chu was sick of seeing that. But before she could say anything, a hand came out from behind them and grabbed the backs of those who were stroking them.
“I told you not to go into the kitchen!”
“Sa Sasuk, that’s not it!”
“Oh my, I can’t survive! “Why on earth are you doing this!”
“No, Soso. “I’m so hungry…”
Baekcheon and Tang Xiaoxiao dragged the Huashan disciples away. Yunjong sighed and put his head out and bowed his head towards Mrs. Chu.
“sorry. They’re good kids at heart, but they’re just a little off. “I’m so stupid…”
“Oh no. “I’ll get it to you quickly.”
“You can take it slow.”
“Ah, death penalty! If you take it slow, you won’t be able to eat it all within the meal time…”
“You need to eat that mouth!”
Yoonjong, who belatedly touched the top of Jogeol’s head with his elbow, nodded his head again with a shy look on his face.
“then.”
When the two people disappeared, Mrs. Chu wiped the sweat from her forehead again.
‘What happened?’
Although they usually ate a lot, their faces were lifeless. When these people suddenly asked me to eat with such excited faces, I felt excited for some reason even though my body was tired.
“Those guys like the devil are treating us well.”
At that time, Mrs. Chu was startled by a voice coming from the side and turned her head. Hyeonyoung, with a flirtatious expression flowing from her entire body, was walking towards me with a grumpy expression.
“Are you here?”
“I’m going to eat a lot today. Please help me out.”
“I am the one suffering. “Suksu people do it.”
“I mean.”
Hyeonyoung made a disapproving expression and suddenly held out something from her side to Mrs. Chu.
“oh! “Hak!”
Mrs. Chu was surprised to see the child Hyeonyoung held out to her and accepted it.
“Why is the baby…”
“The baby keeps crying and making so much noise, it’s killing me! “Please calm down for a moment!”
“I’m sorry…”
Mrs. Chu, who was examining the child’s condition with an apologetic expression, soon sighed.
“…Elder. “I told you that you don’t have to change the baby’s diaper…”
“I did it because the baby was crying so hard. Why would I do it because the baby was pretty? “Don’t worry about it.”
“Still….”
“Stop talking…. This guy! “There’s a kid here, so come up to me with a knife!”
“I’m sorry, Elder.”
One of the servants who was trying to pass by without thinking got scared by Hyunyoung’s shouting and took a step back. Of course, it was Hyeonyoung’s fault for bringing the child into the dangerous kitchen rather than Suksoo’s fault, but no one was bold enough to question that fact.
Moreover, since everyone knew why Hyeonyoung bothered to bring the child here, I couldn’t say anything.
As Mrs. Chu soothed the child to sleep, Hyeonyoung took Haki back from Mrs. Chu with a sad look on her face and hugged her.
“Are you tired?”
“no. “I wonder if it’s difficult…”
“Work is inherently difficult. “If you don’t have the strength to work for wages, that means you’re a thief.”
Hyeonyoung muttered with a sad expression on her face.
“Instead, all the wages for hard work belong to the person who worked. There is nothing to do but help someone. know?”
“Yes, Elder.”
“Tsk.”
Hyeonyoung gently pulled the child into her arms and turned around. And like a thunderbolt, he started nagging the other masters.
“there! “You have to properly wipe up spills on the floor!”
“Yes yes! “I’m sorry, Elder.”
“Starting tomorrow, twice as much planting material will be coming in, so get some people out in the morning and ask them to help clean up.”
“Elder Aigoo…. There are not enough people. If you do that, we…”
“When did I tell you not to hire people? If it’s not enough, we’ll have to pick up more. Talk and select people. right now!”
“Yes yes! If you just do that….”
Hyeonyoung walked away, pointing out various places with each step. A small smile appeared on Mrs. Chu’s lips as she looked at the back.
‘Well…’
Although I went through a difficult time, I was very fortunate to be able to come here.
“Did you eat well?”
“There are no chickens here right now?”
“evil! Nokrim cubs and Namgung cubs are fighting over meat! meat! Please give me some meat here first! hurry!”
“….”
Mrs. Chu cupped her face.
‘no. I don’t think that’s necessarily the case.’
Those hungry-like humans…
But soon Mrs. Chu raised her head and shouted.
“I’ll give it to you, so get out of the kitchen! hurry! “I told you it would take longer if you block it there!”
“Oh no. We just…”
“Quick!”
“yes!”
She shook her head as she watched her hair fall back.
“Did you boil all the chicken?”
“I’m coming now ma’am!”
“Please fly quickly!”
Her shoulders shook vigorously as she rolled up her sleeves.
Cheongmyeong, who was watching the chaos inside the restaurant, tore off a chicken leg. The babies ate one after another and became so energetic that they were running wild.
‘It’s more effective than I thought?’
As expected, it seemed that you had to push people as hard as you could to make them successful.
In the first place, no one knows happiness when they have to see it. Now that I have realized the importance of physical strength, which I normally did not think of as particularly important, I will train myself.
“Then let’s see. “I’ve done everything I can now.”
The system is in place.
So now they will start to push themselves like volcanoes did in the past. In order to open a new waterway, the ground must be dug, but once a path is opened, water flows continuously.
In other words, a fairly long, arduous, and difficult process has now come to an end.
“Then we should now move on to the next step.”
He nodded vigorously and stuffed the torn off chicken leg into his mouth. And he flicked his oily finger with a loud sound.
“Ask all the owners to gather after dinner!”
Opposition poured in from all over.
“Eat everything you put in your mouth and then speak!”
“You’re jumping out, you bastard! “I’m scared to death.”
“….”
It seems like the kids are too excited. Ehh.
