Heavenly Inquisition Sword Chapter 695

Episode 695. Three days ago , hoping that it had nothing to do with Seoyoon’s death

.

Yeongcheonju.

Sabiseong Banwol-hyeon.

Banwol-hyeon, adjacent to Hansanju, originally did not have a large population.

However, the recent sudden influx of refugees has increased the population by almost tenfold.

One reason is the population growth.

Just before moving on to Hansanju, many people stayed at Sabiseong in hopes of just in case.

As before, they believed that Jongmun would defeat the demons of the heavenly world.

Hwang Woo-yeon was the same.

He thought that the devils would not be able to advance to Sabi Castle since they left the temple gate.

So, I sat down on the outskirts of Banwol-hyeon with my family.

Fortunately, the officers of Banwolhyeon did not care what the refugees did.

They didn’t know when the demons of Macheon would come to Banwolhyeon, so they just left it unattended.

Due to their neglect, Banwol-hyeon was full of refugees from outside the country.

But after that it was a problem.

It is often said that making a living is the biggest thing.

Dragonflies need only avoid wind and dew, but food is not.

People can live by eating.

However, as the population of Banwol-hyeon exploded, food prices skyrocketed.

Refugees offered to sell an abundance of jewelry, while food was absolutely lacking.

In the end, the economy of Banwol-hyeon collapsed at once, and the situation became uncontrollable even in the prefecture.

It is a moment when a city as small as Hyeon is destroyed.

Banwol-hyeon fell into chaos as the number of refugees begging increased rapidly.

Begging is a nobleman. Not a few refugees committed robbery as well as stealing.

around noon.

Hwang Woo-yeon, who wandered around looking for food all morning, eventually returned to her family empty-handed.

Seeing Hwang Woo-yeon’s dark expression, the elderly parents silently turned their heads.

Hwang Woo-yeon’s wife, who was always waiting for her husband, asked urgently.

“why? Didn’t you sell your jewelry?”

“ha! Many people want to sell, but no one wants to buy. Just yesterday, there was someone who wanted to buy it at a bargain price. I don’t even have that anymore. There is even a saying that a handful of rice is more valuable than gold and silver treasures. I also wish it was rice cake instead. shit!”

Hwang Woo-yeon roughly shredded the bag.

Don’t you know if it’s a prosperous time?

At a time when it was difficult to find food like now, seafood was not as good as a loaf of rice cake.

“Whew! What if I throw it away? These are things that will be treated as precious when the world is stable.”

Hwang Woo-yeon’s wife picked up the pouch containing the jewelry and kept it in her bosom.

Hwang Woo-yeon, who was watching this, turned his head to the side.

It reminded me of something from a few days ago.

“Yoongi, come here and see.”

At her father’s call, Seo-yoon, who was taking care of her younger siblings, hesitantly stepped in front of Hwang Woo-yeon.

“Looks like you’re getting something from the guy you opened a few days ago.”

“no.”

Feeling ominous, Seoyoon shook her head vigorously.

Hwang Woo-yeon glared at Seo-yoon.

Contrary to saying no, Seoyoon was very wary.

It doesn’t look like you saw it wrong.

If it was something given by a master like Yeon Jeok-ha, it would never be ordinary.

‘It would be nice if it could be turned into food.’

Hwang Woo-yeon held out his hand.

“Give it to me.”

“No.”

Hwang Woo-yeon’s lips went up when he said no.

Because it was the same as saying that I received it.

Hwang Woo-yeon said as if admonishing.

“Did you see Grandpa Kwak die yesterday? It happened because I couldn’t eat. Do you wish your grandparents died? I don’t know what it is, but give it a try. I will exchange it for food if I can, or I will give it back to you.”

Seoyoon was no longer stubborn when she heard that she was exchanging for food.

I felt like I had to do that for my family.

Seoyoon took out the pouch she had received from Mr. Yeon from her bosom and handed it to her father.

As soon as Hwang Woo-yeon received the leather pouch, he opened it and checked the contents.

‘omg!’

The moment I opened the bag, a refreshing scent rushed into my nose.

Even just smelling it, it seemed that the fatigue was gone and the strength was soaring.

‘It’s a simple medicine!’

Looking inside the bag, there were five sweet pills the size of a kidney bean.

Saliva formed in his mouth, but he hurriedly closed his pockets.

If it is a short medicine of this quality, there will be no difficulty in eating and living for a while.

That afternoon, Hwang Woo-yeon met a wealthy man from Banwol-hyeon through a giant.

I handed him a pill and received a bag of rice.

It’s crazy considering the value of the fleet, but Hwang Woo-yeon was satisfied with a bag of rice.

But that evening, four months passed.

Hyeon-ryeong, who heard the rumors of the medicine break, came to the place where Hwang Woo-yeon’s family was staying.

Hyeonryeong is the most powerful person in Banwol-hyeon.

Hwang Woo-yeon could not bear to refuse and made a deal with Hyun-ryeong in front of his family.

Right after Hyun-ryeong returned after completing the deal, Seo-yoon approached Hwang Woo-yeon.

And begged for the medicine back.

“…only one. Dad can sell everything else. Please give me back even one.”

“Where are you going to use this?”

“I want to eat.”

For a moment, Hwang Woo-yeon looked at Seo-yoon with a bewildered face.

When people die of starvation, they say they will eat a potion of medicine.

“what? you want to eat this? no. Would you have seen it if you had eyes? One bag of rice for one medicine. You’re going to shove that precious thing into your mouth? People should know fractions. it’s crazy?”

At any other time, Seoyoon would have given up.

However, Seoyoon did not back down after realizing that there were only a few medicines left.

Because it is also related to her dreams.

“It was given to me by Uncle Yeon. Please return at least one. please.”

“I said no. If you keep talking nonsense, I know you’ll get hit!”

Hwang Woo-yeon lit a double wick in her eyes and glared at Seo-yoon.

The Saviour’s environment is harsh to man.

So many people lost their partners and remarried.

Hwang Woo-yeon and his wife were also people who had experienced a wound once.

Seoyoon is the daughter brought in by Geumnan.

Her deceased husband was Mr. Seo.

From Hwang Woo-yeon’s point of view, he is no different from a stranger without a drop of blood.

Seoyoon’s two daughters were born to Hwang Woo-yeon and Geum Nan-yi.

Hwang Woo-yeon and his elderly parents took care of Seo-yoon’s younger siblings more than Seo-yoon, saying that blood is thicker than water.

In a way, Seo-yoon was a miser in Hwang Woo-yeon’s house without realizing it.

So, Seoyoon, who had grown up early, never once asserted herself.

It wouldn’t work, no, I didn’t do it at all.

Then, as Seo-yoon insisted on making no sense, Hwang Woo-yeon’s anger rose.

If it was my daughter, I would have calmed her down somehow.

However, Hwang Woo-yeon had no such intention.

Even if you don’t, why are you looking at a girl who’s a raw guy you don’t like!

Hwang Woo-yeon’s sudden change of attitude caused tears to fall from Seo-yoon’s eyes.

His own situation was terrifying.

In an instant, the resentment that had accumulated over the years rose up all at once.

“crying! Give! It’s mine!”

Even if he had matured, he was still only twelve years old.

Filled with emotion, Seoyoon forgot her situation and howled bitterly.

However, the opponent was Hwang Woo-yeon, who usually thought of Seo-yoon as a lump.

Tired of Seoyoon’s behavior, he took a step forward with his left foot.

And with his right foot, he vigorously kicked Seoyoon’s bent side.

Poo-!

Seoyoon’s small body rolled and collided with the dirt wall.

That’s it.

Seo-yoon crouched down like a shrimp and let out a few breaths.

Hwang Woo-yeon’s wife, Geum-nan, did not take care of Seo-yoon because her husband noticed.

the next morning.

Geum Nan-i approached Seo-yoon, who looked the same as last night, thinking it was strange.

Seoyoon was dead without knowing when she died.

Hwang Woo-yeon and Geum Nan-yi hurriedly buried Seo-yoon, who had died in a hurry, and went to the refuge again.

He was worried about the sudden death of Seo-yoon, but rather than that, he left Banwol-hyeon at all because rumors about his medicine had spread.

***

and now.

When Yeon Jeok-ha asked, “Where is Seo-yoon?”, Hwang Woo-yeon hurriedly stepped forward.

“The first… is dead.”

“Are you dying?”

Yeon Jeok-ha looked at Hwang Woo-yeon with a stunned face.

I couldn’t believe that the child who had been so alive until a few days ago had died.

Hwang Woo-yeon replied with a sad face.

“I was bitten by a poisonous snake while I was sleeping and stopped… We found out that we were dead only in the morning.”

In fact, many people in the Savior died from poisonous snake bites.

Right now, Hwang Woo-yeon’s ex-wife was bitten by a poisonous snake and died while doing errands in the field. With such memories, a poisonous snake suddenly came out.

“Where did you bury it?”

“It was buried in a hill outside Banwol-hyeon.”

“when?”

“It was yesterday morning.”

“So you’re saying he died overnight?”

“yes. Usually, if you are bitten by a poisonous snake, you cannot survive a day.”

Hwang Woo-yeon said as if explaining based on his ex-wife.

But what is this?

Yeon Jeok-ha shook his head with a face that could not be.

“I gave him a fleet. If I ate even one of them, there was no way I would die overnight.”

Where is the normal fleet?

It was made from the precious Yeongji Seoncho in the Cheonji sect for the great master.

Even if he fell into a poison snake den, he would have been able to survive for a day.

Hwang Woo-yeon couldn’t say anything like a mute who had eaten honey.

The regret that I had to come up with another excuse came over me, but it was already spilled water.

“Which side is Banwol-hyeon?”

At Yeon Jeok-ha’s question, Hwang Woo-yeon hurriedly pointed the way he had come.

“If you go this way for a day, you will come out.”

Yeon Jeok-ha, who nodded, turned her gaze to Hwang Woo-yeon’s family.

“I have to go to Banwol-hyeon with Uncle Hwang. In the meantime, take a break here.”

Then Hwang Woo-yeon urgently said.

“It is a one-day trip to Yandae, Banwol-hyeon, so it takes two days to make a round trip. We can’t just leave our old parents, wife, and children here.”

Besides, what do you do when you go to Banwol-hyeon?

Could it be that he was going to dig up Seoyoon’s body buried in the ground?

The thought of that made me shudder.

This is because his lies were exposed when he saw Seoyoon’s corpse.

“Don’t worry about that. I’ll take you back before sunset.”

“….”

Hwang Woo-yeon looked at Yeon Jeok-ha with devastated eyes.

I know he’s a master of martial arts, but it’s ridiculous to travel two days round trip in half a day.

“The first in age is my daughter, who doesn’t hurt even if you put it in her eyes. I know that Yeondaein liked that child, but… Ugh!”

When Yeon Jeok-ha used the fortune-telling technique, clouds formed under the feet of the two.

Soon, the clouds carrying Yeon Jeok-ha and Hwang Woo-yeon floated up and flew to the east.

Did it pass like that (about 20 minutes)?

Suddenly, Yeonjeokha asked.

“Why does Uncle Hwang have my tip pouch?”

“It was given to the family to buy rice when the family was hungry.”

“Uncle Hwang doesn’t know who I am, right?”

“yes? Yes, but I understand that you are a member of the clan.”

“Yeah, knowing that much is enough. listen carefully. I’m going to go to Banwolhyeon and check Seoyoon’s body. Didn’t you say you died from a poisonous snake bite?”

“…”

Hwang Woo-yeon, whose head was complicated, couldn’t answer right away.

“Why no answer? I heard you died from a poisonous snake bite?”

“yes? Yes that’s right.”

Hwang Woo-yeon decided to push through with the viper until the end.

“I looked at Seoyoon, and she had no snakebite marks and no poison on her body. Then I would think that Uncle Hwang killed Seoyoon and buried him.”

“My me? Why did I kill Seoyoon?”

“That’s when Uncle Hwang should teach you. I hope Uncle Hwang has nothing to do with Seo-yoon’s death.”

Yeonjeokha turned his gaze to the front.

It was sincere that Hwang Woo-yeon wanted nothing to do with Seo-yoon’s death.

Not because I believe in his humanity.

He felt so sorry for Seoyoon, who must have been murdered by his family, and wished he had died for other reasons.
