Episode 21
Hwa So-mi, who was sitting on the veranda, was holding a dumpling in both hands and stuffing it into her mouth. I was already eating it for the third time, as if it was even more delicious because it was made by Jang Sam-tae himself rather than sold on the street.
Hong Won-chang, looking at it, came up with a clever idea.
‘What if that child becomes your daughter-in-law…?’
He was only a seven-year-old child, but considering his future, it seemed like he would grow up to be quite good.
Although being shy was a bit of a flaw, that child’s background had the power to instantly overcome such shortcomings.
Moreover, it is quite cute.
Hong Won-chang, who originally wanted a daughter rather than a boy, would welcome that child, Hwa So-mi, with open arms if she were to become his daughter-in-law.
‘The problem is that my child is not good…’
Hong Won-chang quietly thought about his son, and
there was nothing to be harsh about his son, who had a background as the wise man of Agyang. He has been practicing martial arts since he was young, and even though he is seven years old, he has a really stocky physique and seems to have the children of Akyang under his command.
Will Hwa So-mi really like him?
The conclusion was ‘no’.
Judging from that child’s quiet personality, it seemed like he wouldn’t be a good fit for my son.
“What are you taking so seriously?”
“Hmm, that girl named Hwaso-mi.”
“Do you have anything to do with Somi?”
“If you take her as our daughter-in-law….”
“It’s a bountiful harvest. If you say that to Lord Jang, he will immediately turn the government office upside down.”
It was creepy – it
was only for a moment, but Hong Won-chang was truly horrified.
It is Hong Won-chang who portrayed Dan Woo-hyeon’s personality and witnessed his power before his eyes.
I also know that if you start causing trouble, no one will be able to stop you.
Hong Won-chang smiled awkwardly, haha.
“Of course it’s a joke.”
“Just think of it as a joke. “Even if you touch me for no reason, even nine lives won’t be enough.”
“A risk!”
“But that kid was good. The character is good, the background is good. When you get a little older, I’ll send you to a school. Since you’re smart, wouldn’t your writing skills be good too? “Cancer is the best bride.”
“greatness! My son is also the best husband. He has a decent face and is good at fighting. “Even though he’s empty-headed, there’s no one like him.”
Are you cursing or praising?
Jang Sam-tae looked at Hong Wen-chang with a strange gaze.
I wanted to say something more, but I quickly kept my mouth shut. I felt like if I kept praising Hwa So-mi, I would feel so sorry for this nobleman’s son.
“By the way, where have you been and are you coming now?”
“I made snacks for that child and did some training/’
Hong Won-chang’s eyes lit up when he heard the word ‘training.’
Others may not know this, but he also dreamed of becoming a martial artist in the past.
Although I am now proud as a prefecture, that dream has not yet disappeared.
Because of this incident, my desire for martial arts grew even greater, so I couldn’t help but become interested in the martial arts that Dan Woo-hyeon had personally taught me.
“Cuck!” You mean that? “But the Daehyeop informed you?”
“Didn’t you tell me that it was just a low-quality product sold on the street?”
“But you gave me advice and I heard you wrote it down?”
“If that’s the case, he’s a third-rate martial artist/
Hong Won-chang chuckled.
It seemed like this guy had no idea how great Dan Woo-hyeon’s words were. Although it is at best a third-rate martial arts skill, its value can be worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
Hong Won-chang took out a hermit from his arms.
“I’ll give you this, so give it to me.”
“Fuck off/
“No, this guy is just spouting off about safety! “Wouldn’t it be better to buy a new one on the street like that?”
“Then just buy a new one. “I don’t need it.”
Jang Sam-tae grinned and laughed.
When Hong Won-chang saw that he was paying money to buy something, he realized that being a third-rate martial artist was worth quite a bit of money.
Of course, I had no intention of giving it away from the beginning, but if it came to this, I had to make as much profit as possible.
“Well… then how about ten nyang?”
“Even if I give you 20 nyang, it’s not enough. What’s 10 nyang?”
Ugh, Hong Won-chang blushed. Only
then did Hong Won-chang realize that Jang Sam-tae had read his thoughts.
If this were to happen, it seemed like I would have to pay a lot of money unintentionally.
However, I thought that if it was a monument with Dan Woo-hyeon’s words written on it, it might be worth that much. In the end, Hong Wenchang sighed and nodded.
“That’s good. I’ll buy it for 25 nyang
.”
“Jusho;
“It’s not there right now, so come pick it up at the government office later.”
“Hmph, are you asking me to believe that now? “Bring me money and I will give it to you.”
‘This bastard?’
Heung Won-chang’s flushed face did not subside easily.
Jang Sam-tae snorted and Hong Wen-chang swallowed his anger.
Hwa So-mi, who was quietly looking at the two people, was waving her fingers with a sullen expression, as if she was not having fun.
There is Jang Sam-tae and Hong Won-chang. Obviously, the number of people is the same as before, but why does it feel strangely empty?
This little child knew the reason.
It was none other than the absence of Dan Woo-hyeon.
Where did it go?
Since he left without saying a word to me, I couldn’t easily hide my anxious feelings.
Did he abandon himself or did he go somewhere and get harmed?
Since not only Jang Sam-tae but also Hong Won-chang did not say anything, the anxious feeling could not help but grow more and more.
Two days have already passed.
Hwa So-mi, who was several times more mature than the other children, couldn’t bear to see Dan Woo-hyeon for a long time, and tears welled up in the corners of her eyes as if she couldn’t bear it.
It shouldn’t be like this….
“Ugh…..”
“Oh my, Somi! What’s going on! “Don’t cry, don’t cry!”
“Woojjujjujju-! “Snap!” It was a moment when the manor was shaken as two strong men tried to comfort a small child.
* *
After leaving the manor, Dan Woo-hyeon began to move along the mountain path and look for the place that Bang Chu-gok had talked about.
However, because it was farther than I thought and the location was unclear, it seemed a little difficult to find it easily.
“It’s quite surprising to come out here after being confined to the manor.”
It felt like it reminded me a little of old times.
It was around the time when I was wandering around Jungwon alone since I was a child. He held the world in his heart and the dream of becoming a man in his two fists.
It was a time when I was walking alone on this path and was immersed in martial arts without any time to see the scenery, day or night. It felt like I could see things now that I couldn’t see then.
Isn’t this also one of the fun aspects of life?
Of course, this is also fun.
Sasasak-!
A group of people suddenly appeared, blocked the road, and pointed swords.
Judging from the large group of people with a ghastly appearance, they were not ordinary people. However, they were not people who had mastered great martial arts skills.
So, it is often said like this. “
It’s been a while since
I’ve done anything like this.”
We bumped into each other countless times.
In fact, it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was the bandits who improved his martial arts skills when he was young.
Later, in order to get revenge on Dan Woo-hyeon, there was a time when these guys banded together and formed what they called Noknim 18chae and swarmed around.
“ha ha ha! this guy! “If you want to pass the road, give everything you have.”
“There is no change in common sayings.”
This also felt like an afterimage of the past.
The way they talk and behave is nothing compared to those from a thousand years ago.
On the contrary, it seems to have regressed somewhat. Because those guys had some sense back then.
“What are you doing! “If you don’t want to die, don’t give everything you have right now!”
“I don’t have anything?”
“what…?”
The bandits looked at Dan Woo-hyeon in confusion at the sudden remark. Now that I think about it, he looked a bit poor wearing a white coat and jangsam.
The clothes were a little worn. Moreover, since he wasn’t carrying any luggage, there was nothing that could be called luggage, and judging by the way he looked, it didn’t even look like he was wearing a full bag.
“What…what is it you guy? “What are you thinking about walking down the mountain path?”
“I had no idea. “I was just looking at the mountains.”
The bandits were speechless at the gentle words. Dan Woo-hyeon’s every word touched their heartstrings and calmed their hearts whether they knew it or not, and the
man who appeared to be Chae-ju coughed loudly.
“You idiot, this road is full of bandits. If you go back and forth carelessly without money, you can’t complain even if you die right away;
“Haha, are you giving me advice? Thank you. “I will refer to it in the future.”
It’s not something a bandit would say, but Chae-ju scratched his head in embarrassment at Dan Woo-hyeon’s behavior, which he accepted gratefully. Even though he had been doing this all his life, it seemed like his humanity still remained.
“But is this the right road to Mount Tianzi?”
“Tianzi Mountain? Are you going to that scary place? “Looking at this guy now, I see he’s lost his head.”
Chaeju clicked his tongue and shook his head. There is no way that people living in Honam would not know about Cheonjasan Mountain.
A place where once you enter, you cannot get out alive.
It is famous for its rugged terrain, but the reason for its danger is somewhat different. It is
a place haunted by ghosts.
Or the mountain of death,
that place is Vero Cheonja Mountain.
“Listen carefully, you idiot.”
“Okay, tell me.” “Cheonja Mountain
is the most dangerous place
in Honam .”
” why’?”
“…it’s just a dangerous place.”
Is there any way to know why?
Chae-ju turned her head awkwardly and made a nervous expression, even though she hadn’t actually gone in .
Since everyone said it was dangerous, they thought it was also dangerous, but there was no particular reason.
“Um… Chaeju.”
” what?”
“Aren’t you going to take it?”
Chaeju finally came to his senses after hearing the subordinate’s words. The man in front of me gave off such a strange aura that I was completely taken by him.
But he himself is a bandit.
We must not forget our duty.
If you don’t have money.
puck-!
Chaeju roughly stuck the knife into the floor and raised his eyes sharply. Then he shouted loudly.
“this guy! “If you don’t have anything, just take it off and go!”
“It doesn’t matter, but it would be better to be more careful…”
“What?”
Again, I heard incomprehensible words.
Just as I was tilting my head with a puzzled expression, I heard the sound of horse hooves coming from somewhere.
T3 T=C: t3 r3 |
“1~I—I——I——厂1
The bandits looked away in surprise.
“Over there!”
Someone was riding a horse.
At first, it was hard to see in detail because the distance was too far, but as it started to get closer, the identity of the figure was revealed, although it was blurry.
It was a woman.
The woman ran fiercely, her long hair flying. Then he looked at the bandits and frowned grimly.
“These guys! “You must have been a mountaineer?”
The woman screamed and threw herself off the horse.
The appearance was as splendid as seeing a bird of prey. The bandits did not understand at all how a person could fly so lightly and pull out a sword while jumping in the air.
^_
At that time, Dan Woo-hyeon took a step to the side.
at the same time.
Sigh-!
The woman’s blade swept towards the bandits.
Return to War
