Episode 1237 Someone came (2)
“Change of clothes!”
“No, I need water to wash first!”
“no! You don’t need anything and a place to sleep without getting caught in the rain! “Anywhere as long as there is an eaves!”
“rice.”
“I ate it a little while ago.”
“rice!”
“⋯⋯.”
Kwak Hwan-so looked blankly at those who were scolding him. Even as the cold rain continued to hit my face and the strong wind pushed my body away, I was just dazed.
‘What on earth were these people thinking that brought them here?’
No, no. It’s not something to think about like this. I am so thankful that I shed tears just for coming this far. I should be thankful…
These are people who went through a raging typhoon and came to Haenam, which was cornered in Baekcheok Gandu…
“Oh, what are you just watching!”
“Anyway, I guess someone lives in the warm south! “It explodes slowly!”
“Wow, our guests are getting caught in the rain!”
“If this place were a volcano, one person would have been blown away already!”
But why are these bastards like this?
Even if you just close your mouth a little, it seems like you can exude an atmosphere of solemnity or holiness, but why do you have to be so evil to blow it all away? Why…
“no! “Do I have to keep waiting!”
Above all, what upsets Kwak Hwan-so the most is the fact that the person who is now nervously tearing the hair off his face and screaming is not a volcano person.
‘Isn’t that… Namgung Dowi?’
Even though he lived in Haenam, he couldn’t help but recognize Danakgeom (斷岳劍) Namgung Dowi. His devoted appearance at the dance competition was enough to arouse a strong competitive spirit in Kwak Hwan-so.
‘Until he was beaten in the groin by the Hwasan Sword Association.’
Anyway, the Namgung Dowi I saw at that time was a son of a noble family who literally looked like a painting…
“⋯⋯Do guests come here once a decade? Don’t you know how to guide? yes?”
“Dowi, calm down first.”
“No, brother! “These gentlemen…”
But fortunately, there was no situation where Kwak Hwan-so had to do anything. This is because Geumyangbaek, Haenam’s long coat of arms, ran through the driving rain and wind so that his eyebrows were literally fluttering.
I swear it was the first time in my life that Kwak Hwan-so had seen Jang Mun-in run so fast.
“Did you say you came from Hua Huashan?”
Geumyangbaek suddenly stopped (although he almost slipped half way in the rain) and looked at those standing at the mountain gate with his eyes wide.
‘A long writer…’
Kwak Hwan-so cast a pitiful gaze towards Geumyang-baek, who was soon falling into the same despair as himself. But at that moment.
“Wouldn’t it be rude if I asked you if you were a scholar from Haenam?”
Baekcheon, who had quickly refined his clothes, looked neat and tidy and politely waved his hand at Geumyangbaek. Geumyangbaek hastily responded.
“Look at my mind. “I am Geumyangbaek, the long coat of arms of Haenam!”
“It is Baekcheon of the volcano. “Although he is weak, he is currently in the position of Deputy Jang Mun, representing Hwasan Jang Mun’s doctor.”
It was a perfect, literal drawing, with nothing to add or exclude. Even those who had been showing off all sorts of frustration behind him had suddenly adjusted their clothes and were standing with an even more upright posture.
“Hey, I…”
Kwak Hwan-so, who was momentarily entranced, pointed his finger. ‘A loser? What do you mean by that? We’ve been like this from the beginning, right?’ When I looked at the expressions on their faces as if they were saying, a thousand dollars surged within me.
“He looks like a fraud…”
At that moment, Geumyangbaek turned to Kwak Hwanso and sternly scolded him.
“this guy! What kind of nonsense did you do in front of the guests who came all the way to Haenam! “Are you saying your mind was blown away by the wind?”
“Now, it’s not that long…”
“Other than that, what did you mean!”
“Those authors were clearly… a little while ago.”
“author? Has this guy really lost his mind? “Can’t you shut up right now?”
“Wow…”
Feeling like his stomach was about to explode, Kwak Hwan-so started the game and looked to the side. There are definitely more witnesses who clearly saw it earlier…
‘There is none.’
Those standing next to him were all looking the other way, avoiding Kwak Hwan-so’s gaze. He made it clear that he didn’t want to get hit by Jang Mun-in for helping out for no reason.
‘Bad bastards…’
Tears welled up in Kwak Hwan-so’s eyes. He said there was no one in the world he could trust, so he abandoned the ambassador he had been with because he didn’t want to be scolded…
Geumyangbaek, who was glaring at Kwak Hwanso, who was keenly feeling the cruelty of the world, turned his head and looked at Baekcheon.
“Excuse me. “The children were embarrassed…”
“Don’t worry about it.”
Baekcheon smiled brightly. With a face filled with utmost warmth even while it was pouring rain.
“I understand that you are nervous because you are going through such a big problem. “Actually, I should have gone through the proper procedures and first offered the stove before visiting, but I hope you will forgive my rudeness in coming here blindly without knowing much about Haenam’s situation.”
Geumyangbaek was more than impressed by Baekcheon’s thoughtfulness.
“How can you even care about something like that? “The fact that you knocked on the mountain gate during this typhoon is something to be grateful for.”
“⋯⋯Long writer. “You are being deceived…”
“⋯⋯.”
Geumyangbaek, who crushed Guo Hwanso with just his eyes, quickly relaxed his expression and carefully asked Baekcheon.
“More than that…”
Even after speaking, he hesitated slightly. In fact, the Baekcheon in front of him seemed to be of an age that wouldn’t be unusual for him to talk down, but one of the words he heard a moment ago caught him off guard. In the end, Geumyangbaek slightly changed his tone and asked.
“Long sentence… did you say you were the assistant manager?”
“yes.”
Baekcheon smiled and nodded.
“It’s embarrassing, but that’s how it happened. Therefore, I have come to request a meeting with Jang Mun-in of Hwasan as his representative and special envoy of Cheon Woo-maeng, who has been delegated full authority to him.”
Perhaps because of the cold rain, goosebumps appeared on Geumyangbaek’s back for a moment.
‘A long sentence.’
This is something that is rarely heard.
Usually, the position of Deputy Jangmun is for the person who will become the next Munin Jang to temporarily take on the role of the Jangmunin before the Jangmunin officially steps down from his position.
It was a common occurrence in the imperial palace and the Saga Dynasty, but it was very rare in the Jianghu region. The reason is very simple. This is because, unlike Sagas or the imperial palace, temporary power vacuums due to the old age or illness of those in power do not occur in Gangho.
Kang Ho-in does not become weaker as he gets older, but rather becomes stronger, so why would he need a ‘representative’?
Nevertheless, what about the fact that the position of Deputy Jang Moon was created, appointed, and sent to Haenam?
‘It must mean that they think of us as important!’
My fingertips were trembling. Now that I think about it, the people standing behind Baekcheon also looked unusual.
“Then other people too…”
This means that they are all volcano people.
When Baekcheon gave a sneak peek, everyone who was waiting showed their respect by raising their fists.
“This is Namgung Do-wi, the owner of the small household of the Namgung family. “I am currently serving as the temporary head of the Namgung family in place of my late father.”
“This is the party flag of the owner of the Sacheon Dang family. “I came on behalf of the head of the family.”
“This is Seol Sobaek, the palace owner of the North Sea Ice Palace!”
Geumyangbaek was momentarily shocked and his eyes widened.
‘Hwasan, South Palace, Sacheondang, and even North Sea Ice Palace?’
Each name is in no way inferior to Haenam. Even if any of them had visited Haenam alone, they would not have dared to be negligent in their hospitality.
However, people with such prestige and position visited Haenam all at once. Even through this raging typhoon.
Geumyangbaek’s lips trembled. Of course, it’s not because of the cold. No matter how cold the rain is, this much cold cannot invade his body that has learned martial arts.
“In Haenam…”
Geumyangbaek forcibly twisted her trembling lips open. I didn’t know what to say, so I started by saying the most reasonable thing.
“Thank you for visiting Haenam.”
Baekcheon smiled and was just about to respond. A dying voice was heard behind them.
“Well… it’s good that you’re setting the mood… Cough! “I need a place to get out of the rain before the funeral.”
“Keep your mouth shut, Sapa bastard.”
“⋯⋯It’s because I really feel like I’m going to die. Really… Cough! Cough!”
“It’s okay, it’s okay. “Nothing will change if a Sapa cub is lost.”
“⋯⋯Are you human?”
Lim So-byeong stared at him with a face as pale as a corpse and spurted out blood. After looking at him for a moment with no answer on his face, Baekcheon cleared his throat and opened his mouth.
“I’m sorry, but if it’s not rude, may I ask for a place to get out of the rain first? “Everyone has lost a lot of stamina because they had to swim across the sea…”
Geumyangbaek suddenly came to his senses at those words.
“I am being rude like this! What are you doing! Hurry up and welcome visitors to Haenam to the guesthouse! hurry!”
“yes!”
Geumyangbaek took a deep grip.
“Please share more details later. “It would be best to get some rest first.”
“Thank you for your consideration. “Then I dare you to excuse me.”
“I’ll take you this way!”
Miss Lee quickly jumped forward and guided the visitors.
Haenam’s disciples, who had been watching the situation blankly, suddenly came to their senses and followed them as if they were escorting them.
The last two people remaining, Geumyangbaek and Kwak Hwanso, looked at the people heading towards the audience hall with fascinated faces.
‘This isn’t a dream, is it?’
Kwak Hwan-so patted his cheek. However, there was no need to check it by hitting yourself. Just the rain flowing down my body and the chill I felt was enough to tell me that this was reality.
‘Then are Cheon Woo-maeng’s special envoys really visiting Haenam right now?’
And those who are so prominent?
In Haenam… In Haenam, where a typhoon is raging… uh?
“⋯⋯Long writer.”
“hmm?”
Kwak Hwan-so muttered with a blank face.
“Well… a little while ago.”
“Speak.”
“A little while ago… that Baekcheon seal… “Didn’t you say that Deputy Jang Moon swam across the sea?”
“⋯⋯I guess so.”
“Now?”
Rumbling!
Kwak Hwan-so and Geum Yang-baek looked into the distant sky at the same time. I could clearly see the strong typhoon and the thunderstorms.
For a moment, there was a deep silence between the two.
They know the sea well. These people cannot help but know what the sea looks like when a typhoon of this magnitude hits.
The two people, who briefly remembered the sea where waves the size of a house were clearly crashing, looked at each other and smiled awkwardly.
“I think you heard wrong.”
“I guess so? Haha… “As long as you don’t go out of your mind.”
“Haha…”
“⋯⋯.”
I remembered the words I heard many times from far away across the sea.
Hwasan is a sect that has no backs.
The two finally realized what that meant.
