Episode 305
The situation turned out differently than expected.
Jang Sam-tae, who was expected to return soon, suddenly disappeared. I looked around but couldn’t find him, and he didn’t show up at Geumhwan Gaekjan either.
It felt as if I had completely left this land of Akyang.
It was only then that the people of Sega realized that Jang Sam-tae had run away from home.
“Big…”
Dan Woo-hyeon, who was sitting still, felt burdened by the stares coming from all over the place.
Namgung So-hye glanced at Sadohak and Namgung Cheon, and even those passing by looked at Dan Woo-hyeon with unusual eyes.
It was like looking at someone who had committed a crime.
Dan Woo-hyeon frowned.
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
A somewhat annoyed tone was evident.
If you have something to say, you should come and say it right away, but doesn’t it seem like you’re stalling for no reason and giving people attention?
Dan Woo-hyeon, who proudly said he had never committed a crime, was not pleased with their gaze.
“Hmm! “No, it’s nothing else… I was wondering if he really ran away.”
Sadohak approached cautiously and asked.
In this Honam Danga, Jang Sam-tae was a central figure.
Since he did most of the chores, it was a very valuable item that I couldn’t live without.
That person went out.
because of whom?
Naturally, my gaze went towards Dan Woo-hyeon.
“I guess it’s because I don’t see him coming.”
“Are you okay?”
“What do you mean?”
Dan Woo-hyeon’s impression deepened.
It seemed like he didn’t understand what Sadohak was saying at all. But then his eyes turned somewhere.
Naturally, I looked over and saw a pile of laundry.
As most people do not neglect their training, there is a pile of laundry to be washed.
At most, two days have passed.
Also, Namgung So-hye’s appearance was also speechless.
I had to prepare every meal and wash the dishes. I couldn’t even neglect my training, so it was inevitable that I would gradually become physically and mentally exhausted.
“A lot of grass has grown in the yard, and it’s quite dirty because it’s not used.”
At Sadohak’s words, Dan Woohyeon’s gaze turned towards the yard. It wasn’t very dirty, but we could see weeds slowly growing up, and the places were full of trash that Dansomi had thrown away.
It will get messy after a few days.
“Who does all this? “Do you want to use someone?”
A moan escaped Dan Woo-hyeon’s mouth.
Using people means spending money. Even so, he spent a considerable amount of his gold due to being defrauded by Hao Wen-ju.
If you were to hire someone to manage a manor of this size, it would cost quite a bit of money, as it would never be enough to just have one or two people.
At least ten silver coins per month?
Dan Woo-hyeon frowned as he did not like it
.
“You should have treated me more gently!”
“But what did I do?”
Sadohak gazed at Dan Woohyeon.
The person who scolded Jang Sam-tae the most was none other than Dan Woo-hyeon.
Still, it was frustrating to see him making a puzzled expression as if he didn’t know.
But on the other hand, Dan Woo-hyeon also had something to say.
The only time Dan Woo-hyeon touched Jang Sam-tae was when he did something wrong.
If he hadn’t done anything wrong in the first place, he wouldn’t have hit or kicked him.
However, he often messed with Sadohak and took out his anger on Jang Sam-tae even when the judging was in trouble.
I thought I might not have been able to endure it and left.
“I guess it’s more about you than me.”
“No way! What a good thing I did! “I also taught him martial arts.”
“I taught you that too.” The voices of the two people bickering spread loudly.
It was even somewhat comical to see them denying each other’s mistakes, saying they were all bad.
Namgungcheon, who was next to him, chuckled.
“Hey, calm down. “No matter who it was, something happened, and isn’t the biggest problem now how to bring him back?”
“Tsk…” Sadohak and Dan Woohyeon kept their mouths shut.
In fact, among the three people here, the one who cared for Jang Sam-tae the most was none other than Nangong-cheon.
At first, I didn’t really trust him because they said he was a thief, but after experiencing a man named Jang Sam-tae for a long time, I found him to be a hundred times better than those who wear the mask of being a political faction and smile on the outside and sharpen their swords on the inside.
That is why Namgung-cheon had more affection for Jang Sam-tae than anyone else.
At least that guy was the same person inside and out.
“Let’s join up and chase after the guy who ran away later. “Isn’t Sega’s work coming first now?”
Dan Woo-hyeon nodded at Namgung-cheon’s words.
Two days have already passed.
It is said that there is a servant named Jeok Mu-seong, but the reality is that he is not as meticulous as Jang Sam-tae and does not know anything, so we cannot have high expectations.
Dan Woo-hyeon looked around and sighed.
We can’t leave it like this forever.
“Let’s divide the roles.”
As he spoke one word, everyone who was listening knowingly or unknowingly from all over the place stared at his mouth.
Now that things are like this, someone has to do the work.
Although the problem was that there was no one more trustworthy than Jang Sam-tae, Dan Woo-hyeon realized that the situation was not good enough to hide people and slowly opened his mouth.
“Ehehe… Ehehehe!”
Jang Sam-tae, who was lying on the floor, burst out laughing, wondering what was so exciting.
It looks like you can’t tell whether the dog with its tail gently wagging is having fun or playing with its food.
Maybe he looked like he was out of his mind.
Hong Won-chang looked at Jang Sam-tae and sighed.
“Ugh…”
Two days at most. It was the day I put Jang Sam-tae to sleep, who came unexpectedly.
They said they were on strike and didn’t go back. They were just rolling around all day long, and it was so disgusting to see them…
I asked with another deep sigh.
“Are you really okay?”
“What do you mean?”
“No, I was afraid that if I continued like this, I would get a proper beating from my lord….”
“No, damn it! “Do I have to live my life watching what those people think?”
Jang Sam-tae, who was in tears, screamed loudly.
“It was like that for a day or two?”
“…That’s true, but anyway, I don’t know people like that anymore! “Because I will live as I want.”
“Oh no, I’m not a kid…”
“I’m a kid!”
Jang Sam-tae shouted, pounding his chest.
I felt a determination not to listen to anything more.
It is said that you only feel its importance when it is gone, so by now most of the Jangwon family members are probably slowly realizing the importance of Jang Sam-tae.
‘And then at a critical moment, pop! ‘If you show up, everyone will welcome you.’
Jang Sam-tae drew up a plan in his mind.
It shows up when you desperately need it.
Then, you can return home naturally without being scolded, and you can also clearly imprint the meaning of your existence in their minds.
Let’s put the plans in our head into action step by step.
Jang Sam-tae smiled as he thought about that.
However, Hong Won-chang’s expression as he looked at Jang Sam-tae was not so good.
It was so obvious what he was thinking, and I wondered if I was looking at Dan Woo-hyeon too easily.
It’s none other than Dan Woohyun.
If Jang Sam-tae were to act like that, Dan Woo-hyeon
would never… ‘catch him.’
If you throw it away, you will not hold on to it.
I wondered if it was because I really didn’t know his cold personality. Or maybe my thoughts didn’t go that far, so I looked pitifully at Jang Sam-tae, who was grinning.
‘You never think about it.’
Hong Won-chang held his throbbing head.
“If that’s what you think, there’s nothing we can do, but I can’t let you stay here too long.”
“Are you telling me to get out?”
“yes. “You know me well.”
“Eh?”
Jang Sam-tae blinked his eyes and looked at Hong Won-chang.
Are we going to kick out people who have nowhere to go now?
Heungwonchang burst into laughter as he made a somewhat bewildered expression.
“Didn’t someone say that he who does not work should not eat? I can’t accept someone like Hanryang into my house. Moreover, Somi comes often, so do you think she’s hiding there every time?”
Jang Sam-tae scratched his head at those words.
Certainly, Dansomi used to come here sometimes because of Hongjinrangi.
Since Jang Sam-tae had vowed not to see anyone else until the time was right, he was not allowed to even see Dan So-mi.
The moment I see your face, I will be dragged by those tiny hands.
The problem was that it was too weak for Dansomi.
But did they say that even tigers will come if you tell them to?
“Uncle Hong—!”
A familiar voice was heard from far away.
Jang Sam-tae, startled, jumped up and climbed onto the roof. The sight of him disappearing in an instant was almost unbelievable even though I was seeing it with my own eyes.
Gulp –
Jang Sam-tae, who lowered his body as much as possible on the roof, looked toward the direction where the sound came from.
There was Dan So-mi, holding Dan Woo-hyeon’s hand and approaching Hong Won-chang.
The moment I saw that face, I swallowed my saliva without realizing it.
“How are you?”
“Of course, my lord. But today… what happened?”
Even Heungwonchang couldn’t help but feel nervous.
Jang Sam-tae had run away from home, and I was putting him to sleep and feeding him.
He felt anxious that if Dan Woo-hyeon found out about it, he might get scolded along with him.
“I brought Somi here because she wanted to come, so don’t worry about it.”
“I’ll come back after playing.”
Dan So-mi, who happily held Hong Won-chang’s hands, quickly ran towards where Hong Jin-rang was. It seemed like he was bored because Jang Sam-tae was not around, or he was visiting a friend.
Dan Woo-hyeon looked at the back with a smile on his face.
“Then I’ll go, so you can send me back later.”
“Ah… I understand.”
Hong Won-chang, covered in cold sweat, quickly lowered his head. Since he always left Somi in his care and returned suddenly, there was no sign of him noticing anything in particular.
But Dan Woo-hyeon turned his back and stopped at a tall spot.
Heart pounding –
Heung Won-chang and Jang Sam-tae, who was hiding, held their breath and looked at the scene.
The very fact that Dan Woo-hyeon, who was scarier than ghosts, stopped in his tracks gave me fear.
At that moment, Dan Woo-hyeon turned his head.
Finally, he looked at the roof and smiled.
It was as if his gaze was penetrating everything.
Cold sweat trickled down Hong Won-chang’s forehead.
He looked like someone who had been caught in the rain.
“Even seemingly useless people can be useful sometimes.”
“yes?”
Hong Won-chang, who did not know the meaning, made a dumbfounded expression.
It seemed as if he was talking about Jang Sam-tae, who ran away from home, but I couldn’t tell whether he was talking about Jang-won’s affairs or something else.
Dan Woo-hyeon stretched out his hand and tapped Hong Won-chang on the shoulder.
“That’s just the way it is.”
Dan Woo-hyeon, who said those words, turned his head without hesitation.
The moment I turned my head, my eyes swept over the roof.
Eventually, we slowly left that place without saying a word.
It was about a minute later that the frozen Hong Won-chang and Jang Sam-tae sighed and wiped away their cold sweat.
