Episode 197
It was truly a coincidence that Dan Somi discovered it.
Somi, who was playing and running around, stopped at one place and looked straight ahead.
There was one person there.
They used bushes to cover the entrance and were hiding in a small cave-like place.
His entire body was covered in blood and even his breathing was rough. Torns and cuts were visible here and there.
Dansomi, who was so tired, slowly stuck her head out towards that place.
“Ugh…
The person must have sensed a presence and opened his eyes.
For a moment, a fierce eye flashed, and Dansomi, startled, hid herself among the bushes. Even Baekmyo was surprised and went into Dansomi’s arms.
“Gwae… are you okay?” I asked cautiously.
It was clear that any child would have to run away, but he was trembling and staring intently at the other person.
The man looked at that sweet smile and gritted his teeth.
“go away.”
A sharp word pierced my ears. That murderous voice gave goosebumps all over my body.
Dansomi, who had turned completely white, swallowed her saliva, turned her back and ran away.
“Haa…damn….”
The man, or Chu Moon-won, frowned as he looked at the missing child.
My mental strength was severely depleted. Even though I had a little bit of energy left, it was quite difficult to maintain my body with just that.
“Those guys…”
Chu Mun-won suddenly gritted his teeth.
There was the sound of teeth breaking. That much anger rose to the top of my head. I felt blood flowing from the torn and cut places.
It is truly uncomfortable to have a body that cannot feel pain.
If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I probably wouldn’t have known that the blood had flowed this much.
Chu Mun-won tore his clothes to stop the bleeding and gasped.
Because I lost so much blood, I needed to replenish moisture as quickly as possible in order to move my body even a little.
However, my body could not be moved easily. He tried to think about moving in his head, but his body didn’t listen, as if it no longer belonged to him.
“Damn you guys…! “I will definitely kill you!”
Even at first, he was able to sufficiently overwhelm his opponent. If we had kept pushing, we could have won.
Suddenly, two more people appeared, and Majang River was among them, which was the cause of their defeat.
The guy had stronger skills than I heard, and when I tried to push him, he intervened here and there and swung his sword at me.
In particular, Namgung So-hye’s swordsmanship was sharp and fast, and was something different from the seasons of the Namgung family that were known to the public until now.
If you predict and avoid the sword path, the blade follows as if mocking it.
Majang Gang was also scary, but what perplexed him the most was Namgung Sohye’s unknown sword technique.
Considering that most of the wounds on her body were caused by her, no further explanation would be necessary.
‘We must move.’ Chu Wen-won forced himself to stand up. At that moment, my legs lost strength and I lost my balance and fell.
dump!
He frowned at his disobedient body.
However, we cannot give up here.
I stood up again and again, strengthening my legs.
It was like that when about half an hour was lost. Chu Mun-won, who was finally able to stand on his own, walked slowly and tried to find water.
Even if I concentrated on the sound, I couldn’t hear the sound of water. Maybe it was because it was quite far away, or maybe it was because my sense of energy had weakened due to extreme consumption of internal energy.
I took a long breath and sharply raised my energy.
at that time.
As soon as a rustling sound was heard, Chu Mun-won’s head turned. I gathered all my energy into one hand and raised my hand to swing right away.
Soon, when he realized that what appeared in front of him was not the enemy he had thought, Chu Mun-won’s eyes widened in surprise.
“You… didn’t run away?”
“I went to get water. Here’s the water!”
Dansomi held out her hand and handed over what she was holding. It was a vessel crudely made by plaiting nearby trees.
But the content inside was definitely water.
Chu Wen-won looked at Dan So-mi with a strange expression. However, as if he could not escape the temptation of water, he stretched out his hand and took it.
I didn’t have any doubts about poison or traps in my head. Right now, I needed water to get rid of this stuffiness right away.
I took a gulp of water.
The water flowed refreshingly into my thirsty, twisted throat.
The moment I drank it, my body felt somewhat revitalized.
“Puh-ha… It’s okay. “Where did you get it from?”
“hey.”
Dansomi pointed to a place with her finger. I don’t know exactly where it is pointing, but it seems like this child’s vocabulary can’t explain it properly.
Chu Mun-won sighed and laughed.
“sleep!”
“What is this again?”
“I picked it up on the way. lol.” Dansomi burst out laughing
.
Chu Mun-won looked at it with a puzzled expression. What I was holding in my hands were definitely mushrooms and raspberries.
It felt a little awkward to hear that in that short period of time, while fetching water, they had even picked up food that could be eaten by humans.
But in order to live right now, you have to fill your stomach with everything.
“Come here.”
“Thank you! That should be said. My dad said that. “If someone gives you something, you should say thank you.”
Dansomi, who had horns, pushed back the things that were sticking out and puffed out her cheeks. Chu Mun-won’s face was distorted for a moment, but he muttered with an expression of unwillingness, as if he could not bear to stab him with his hand.
“Thank you.”
“Hehe, sleep!”
Chu Mun-won eagerly ate what Dan So-mi offered.
I just had to eat and drink as quickly as possible to recover my body.
Chu Mun-won, who had been chewing the food in his mouth like crazy for a while, sat down, patting his full stomach. There was still a little bit of blood coming out, but as long as it was this vibrant, there was no problem.
‘Kill them all.’
Chu Mun-won thought of the faces of those people in his mind and threw his life away. This is something that will never be left alone. We will use everything we have to crush them.
He was about to give back a hundred times a thousand times what he had suffered.
“Your eyes are strange!”
“Hmph, that’s the way it is.”
Chu Mun-won snorted and looked to the side. I saw a child with a curious expression.
Without realizing it, I lost my mind to that innocent face.
“There are also herbs here.”
Somi smiled brightly and took out some herbs from Juseom’s arms. I don’t know what was hidden in that small body, but something kept coming out.
Chu Mun-won muttered in bewilderment.
“I’m glad you brought only the herbs. “It must have been difficult for children like you, not to mention eating…?”
“Hehe, it’s a specialty. “I often went out with my dad and ate like this.”
Chu Mun-won narrowed his eyebrows.
Are you struggling because you have no money? Otherwise, I wouldn’t have climbed the mountain with a child like this.
‘Well, it’s the way of the world that you have to do anything to survive.’
I clicked my tongue and tsk.
“How old are you?”
“Um, seven… no, I’m eight this year!”
“With that height and body?”
Chu Mun-won just looked at Dan So-mi.
No matter how you look at it, it only seemed like about five or six people. I didn’t know that I might have gotten skinny from digging up vegetables in the mountains.
“Ugh… I hear that a lot… Jiyak and Jinrang are much bigger than me, right? But only Somi is small. Still, Grandpa and Dad say Somi is prettier. lol.”
It was clear that because he was not eating properly, his growth was slowed down. Chu Mun-won felt a little nervous as he looked at this child. Deokjideokji I thought to myself as I treated myself with the herbs Somi brought.
At best, it was food, water, and herbs, but if you received something, you had to return it.
“Will you come with me?”
“yes?”
Dansomi’s eyes widened at the unexpected remark.
I blinked and looked at Chu Mun-won for a while.
“I’ll bring you everything. “Delicious food, good clothes, everything you want.”
“Hehehe.”
Dansomi scratched her cheek.
There was a bit of awkwardness on his face. Chu Mun-won smiled as he looked at it. Even a child would understand what was meant when something was said so blatantly.
“Are you going with me?”
“no, I do not want.”
“huh?”
“no, I do not want. Somi likes it now. There is a father, grandfathers, and sisters. ah! “There’s also Uncle Kwon.”
Dansomi, who was thinking, tilted her head.
I think I forgot someone. Am I mistaken?
“I like nice clothes and delicious food, but I like my family even more and I love them. So Somi doesn’t go anywhere else. And if Somi goes… Dad will be sad.”
“I see.”
This is one word that shows Dansomi’s sincerity. The moment I heard it, I realized that what touched my heart was not a lie.
Chu Mun-won clicked his tongue.
How could it not be funny to see that a little boy has kicked the fortune that could only happen once in his life?
at that time.
“Somi—! Somi—!”
I heard a voice.
The sound that had been coming from afar gradually became closer. Dansomi suddenly stood up and waved at the anxious voice calling.
“Somi is here!”
He waved his hand widely and looked at one place.
At the same time, Chu Wen-won’s gaze naturally returned.
‘Is this child’s mother even here?’
Although it was a bit far away, she was quite a young woman.
At that moment, Chu Mun-won’s eyes, which were checking the woman’s face, narrowed.
Hoyeonji, who was approaching in a hurry, also stopped.
The two people faced each other. Ho Yeon-ji trembled with a pale, tired face, and Chu Mun-won looked shocked as he searched through his memories.
Eventually he stood up.
He changed his expression several times and even sighed. He smiled, then frowned, looked at the sky, laughed, and then raised his eyes fiercely.
Soon, I suddenly relaxed.
Dansomi tilted her head at that strange appearance.
“Hey, is your house in Honam?”
“and-! How did you know? “Is it because my grandfather used a large signboard?”
Dansomi burst out laughing with a curious expression.
At that moment, Hoyeonji’s earnest cry rang out.
“Run away, Somi-!”
