Episode 239
The place where Dan So-mi, Hong Jin-rang, and Ju Ji Yak headed was not far from Aeyang.
Because it was a sparsely populated place, the grass had grown so thickly that it seemed difficult to even set foot on it.
“Are there going to be snakes?”
Jiyak looked at that place with a bored expression.
It really felt like if I took a wrong step, a snake would come out. If you act hastily, it could easily lead to a serious accident.
Therefore, I did not want to go in.
It was the same with Heung Jinrang.
No matter how big he is, he is still a young boy.
It was too much for ordinary courage to carelessly enter a dangerous place where there might be a snake that could kill you if bitten.
Hong Jinrang and Jiji Ruo looked at each other and nodded.
It’s better to go back now.
It seemed like he had made that decision.
at that time.
“oh! “I can go this way.” Dansomi, who seemed to be the most timid of the group, stepped on the lowest bush and entered. In his hand, he held a stick that he didn’t know when or where he got it from, and with it he tapped and plowed his way through the bushes.
“Aren’t you… scared?”
“huh? “If you do this, the snake will run away…?”
“Well… But there are some things that won’t run away.”
“It’s okay. I’ve caught a lot of snakes.” The place where Dansomi lived was a village of slash-and-burn people. Since we were deep in the mountains, we were able to see a lot of wild animals and even snakes.
There was a time when I was very scared, and at the time, my parents caught snakes whenever they appeared and boiled them in stew or grilled them and ate them.
The taste of snake meat was better than I expected.
Because of this, Dansomi also went snake hunting with the neighborhood kids.
As long as you become good at it, one stick is enough, even if it is poisonous.
Isn’t that what snake hunting is all about?
“And it’s delicious!”
“…Did you eat that?”
“…You’re eating.”
Ju Ji-yak and Hong Jin-rang looked at Dan So-mi with bored expressions. From their perspective, it was difficult to even imagine eating a snake.
Besides that, there were quite a lot of things to eat.
The two people followed Dansomi, sweating and sweating. I didn’t want to go, but since he was going in without hesitation, I couldn’t leave him alone.
The forest continued for a long time.
After about a day or so of making our way, an abandoned house, which could be considered our destination, appeared.
The small house seemed to have been built a long time ago, but it didn’t seem surprising that it collapsed right away, perhaps because no one had taken care of it.
“Are you really going in?” Ju Ji-yak looked at the abandoned house and trembled with a frown on his face. Is it an illusion that the closer you get, the colder you feel?
If it was a little dark, it wouldn’t be strange to hear a ghost song.
at that time.
” Shh!”
Hong Jinrang, who suddenly covered Ju Ji Ruo’s mouth, hastily lowered his head.
It was Dansomi who couldn’t understand what was happening, but she sat down on the floor as if imitating him.
It seemed like he didn’t even care about getting his clothes dirty.
As the children hid in the grass, they soon heard someone talking.
“Do you really think we’ll all die if we just look for it?”
“But where did you find it? “We have to strike first before the others find out.”
They were two middle-aged people.
It was obvious that he was a warrior with a knife, but his level wasn’t that high and he couldn’t even sense the presence of children hiding.
They put on armor, filled a large basket with something, and carried it into the abandoned house.
Soon a pounding sound was heard and the surroundings became quiet.
Only then did Hong Jinrang sit down, sighing in relief.
“Whoa… I’m glad I don’t know who it is. “I don’t think they saw us.”
I glanced at Dan So-mi as I spoke, but for some reason, So-mi had her cheeks puffed out and a dissatisfied expression on her face.
“what? what’s the matter?”
“No… it’s not a ghost….” “If it were a ghost, it would be a bigger problem! “It’s a good thing he’s a human.”
“But…”
“Haa…”
Dansomi muttered with a disapproving expression.
I came here because I wanted to see a ghost, but instead of a ghost, it was just a person.
I don’t know what he was doing, but seeing as it was my first time seeing him, it seemed like he didn’t live nearby.
“Shall we go back?”
The moment Hong Jinrang mumbled, someone grabbed his collar tightly.
‘huh?’
Hong Jinrang sent an ominous look back.
It was a well-known drug.
His eyes, which had been dead just a moment ago, became alive and he looked at Dan So-mi and Hong Jin-rang with bright eyes.
This time, Dan So-mi and Heung Jin-rang looked anxious.
“Premonition of an incident!”
“Ah…” Dansomi scratched her cheek with a troubled expression.
Although the three children were very close, they all had different personalities.
Hong Jin-rang, whose eyes turn to martial arts, Dan So-mi, who likes strange and surprising things, and Ju Ji-yak, who likes to investigate things, like the government officials who dig into incidents and accidents.
Moreover, once Jujiyak was triggered, it could not be stopped.
“Are you really going?”
“huh!”
The situation was completely different from before.
Dan So-mi, full of anxiety, tried to tug on Ju Ji-yak’s sleeve, but Ju Ji-yak, who could no longer see anything, moved forward quickly.
It looks completely different from just a moment ago when he was talking about whether there was a snake or whether it was scary.
Heungjinrang tried to stop him from doing so, but he calmed down by pretending to cut his throat with his hand.
Sigh-!
Ju Ji-yak slowly opened the door to the abandoned house.
A chill came over me as the sound irritated my ears.
“Uh… I don’t have any?”
When I looked inside, there was no trace of anyone.
How did this happen?
It was confirmed that the men went inside, but why are they not here?
Ju Ji-ya’s face, which entered the lungs with a blank expression, turned white as if he had seen something he could not see.
” ghost?”
Dansomi’s eyes sparkled.
This was also completely different from the frightened appearance a moment ago.
On the contrary, Ju Ji-yak trembled like crazy, and Hong Jin-rang, who was next to him, looked at the two children with an expression of bewilderment.
“I heard a boom, so there must be a secret passage.”
“Isn’t that right?” Ju Ji-yak, whose expression changed in an instant, nodded. I looked around the room and looked at each item in detail.
His eyes lit up as he adjusted the furniture here and there.
The will to find it was evident.
At that time, Dansomi looked at the floor and stretched out her hand.
“Isn’t this it?” Zhu Jiyue was startled and turned his gaze to Dan Xiaomi.
What Somi was holding was a handle.
Ju Ji-yak muttered with a shocked expression.
“You’re using such high-level tricks…!”
“No, you saw it from the beginning?”
“…Heel.”
Dansomi smiled with an awkward expression.
If you had opened the door and looked at the floor even once, you would have noticed. However, it seems that Ju Ji-yaek, who was preoccupied with other things, could not bear to see it.
Ju Ji-yak dropped his shoulders and became sullen, and So-mi comforted him.
“Trigram… It’s okay! “It’s okay because I found it.”
“yes?”
“huh!”
Soon, Ju Ji-yaek’s eyes turned to Hong Jin-rang. A little while ago he poofed! It was as if he was remembering how he burst out laughing.
Hong Jinrang, sweating coldly, stepped forward.
“I’ll open it!”
“Of course it’s the man who makes the effort, right? “Then who were you trying to order?”
Ju Ji Ruo used a small tree branch on the ground to stab Hong Jin Lang in the side.
Although it wasn’t painful, it was quite threatening.
Without realizing it, I trembled and tightened my grip.
Kurung-!
Part of the floor was lifted, revealing a secret passage.
Because the two men had only recently entered, I felt a little uneasy, but with Jujiyak’s brightly shining eyes, I felt like I couldn’t go back now.
“Let’s go in!”
It’s quite dark inside.
It was quite dark inside going down. There was nothing in front of me so I had to fumble with my hands to find my way.
“It’s probably the place those two people created earlier. “Of course!” As he went down, Ju Ji Yak was convinced.
I don’t know what they were trying to do by creating a secret passage inside the abandoned house, but I felt a strong will to find out.
“But it seems like it’s been a long time since I made it…T
“Huh?”
“Look at this. “The walls have been dug up and the trees we are stepping on are quite old.”
As my eyes slowly became accustomed to the darkness, the scenery was revealed one by one.
“Uh…really?”
“huh! “Grandpa and Dad are really good at this kind of thing…”
While saying those words, Dan Somi glanced at Jujiyak. Her face became tearful.
I felt like crying for no reason because my words, which I had tried to guess, were completely refuted.
Dan Somi stopped walking and hugged Ju Ji Yak tightly.
“are you okay! “If only it was visible, Jiyak would have found out.”
“yes?”
Hong Jinrang, who was watching the scene from behind, looked at the two people with a puzzled gaze.
Obviously, if it was visible, something would have to change, but it was not at all easy for a child not yet over ten years old to figure out something by looking at traces.
‘Look, that’s the nine-tailed fox.’ Hong Jinrang trembled.
Juji Yak cried and laughed at each of Dansomi’s actions, so I thought she might be doing it on purpose because she found it funny.
This was almost a certainty.
Those innocent expressions and actions were all coming from a more insidious intention than Bulyeosi.
Thinking about that, I let out a short moan.
At that time, Dan So-mi glanced back and looked at Hong Jin-rang.
It was hard to see in the dark, but he seemed to be smiling.
“what’s the matter?”
“Oh no, it’s nothing.” Heungjinrang unconsciously turned his head and looked at the wall.
‘Damn it…’
It should look like a demon, but why doesn’t it look like that? I got so angry that I banged my head against the wall.
thud!
The other two children were startled when they suddenly heard a strange sound.
“Nothing. Let’s go…”
o Ugh”
