Episode 37
was located a little away from the author’s street. Because it is a famous house in Agyang and is large in size, it is located in a quiet place.
This was because it was a way to decorate the surroundings in a more luxurious way and to attract people with money.
In fact, it was Dansomi’s first time visiting Daru.
That’s why I moved with a pounding heart.
at that time.
” Yes?”
“what’s the matter?”
Dansomi stopped not far from Daru and tilted her head. It looked like it had been erected for the guests of a stable built near Daru, and the straw piled up there could be seen shaking.
“Over there…”
He pointed there with his finger.
It could simply have been a wild dog or a cat. It is no exaggeration to say that such things are everywhere. However, the shaking was unusual and even a small groan could be heard.
“What do you have?”
Hong Jinrang snorted and asked. He couldn’t see or hear anything.
But I thought there was no way Dan So-mi, who didn’t even know martial arts, would recognize anything.
But it wasn’t Jiyak.
Although I had only met Dan So-mi not long ago, I knew her well.
In Jiyak’s opinion, this child was a blessing.
Even while playing at school, he would pick up an iron coin from somewhere or occasionally, when a child would shoot a slingshot to bully him, the wind would suddenly blow and hit the other kid on the head.
At that time, the man who shot Hong Jin-rang in the head with a slingshot became a very dead person.
Even when a flock of birds flies and poops countless times, Dansomi doesn’t get any of it on her body, so what other child is this lucky?
Jiyak smiled awkwardly.
“Shall we go?”
Dansomi nodded slightly.
Jiyak glanced at Hong Jinrang, and Jinrang sighed as if there was nothing he could do and headed toward the stable. He picked up a wooden stick, held it in his hand, and dug around.
“omg?!”
“Eck!”
Soon, surprised moans came from the mouths of the three children. A man was seen through the straw.
He is groaning with blood all over his body.
He looked at the three children with bleary eyes, as if he didn’t have the strength to open his eyes or even move a finger.
“It’s a person!”
“Are you a Murim person?”
“Surprise…”
Hong Jinrang immediately recognized that this person was a martial artist. Because there were two short swords nearby.
Dansomi was surprised that it was a person and not a dog or a cat, and Jiyak’s face turned pale as it was his first time seeing someone in such a cruel situation.
“Uuuuu……
“I’m dying? What should I do? Should I call the police?”
“It’s no use calling. “It seems like the martial arts people were fighting among themselves, but the government doesn’t take action in such matters.”
In Hong Jin-rang’s words, it’s true! He nodded.
After the imperial court tried to suppress the martial arts several times in the past and failed, the government and martial arts did not invade each other’s territory.
At that time, Somi Dan approached the man who had collapsed.
He was a fearless child.
You don’t know what the man will do.
Somi quietly opened her mouth faster than Jiyak was startled and tried to stop her.
“Are you okay, uncle?” “Does it look okay to you? “It doesn’t look good at all to me.”
Hong Jinrang asked bluntly.
Even at first glance, it wasn’t in very good condition. It was clear that he would die if he did not receive treatment immediately. However, it wasn’t like I could do anything.
The children here were only seven or eight years old at most, and had not yet learned any medical skills.
“So… Somi, let’s go. “I think this is going to be a big problem.”
Jiyak stammered with an anxious gaze. It was my first time seeing someone in such a miserable state right before my eyes, and I was so scared that I might even see a corpse.
But Somi shook her head.
“Can you save me?”
“What? it’s crazy? “How do we save this person?”
“Somi! No matter how much I think about it, Jinrang is right. What are we going to do…” Dansomi clenched her fists.
As I looked at the man covered in blood, an image came to mind.
The sight of his dying parents covering him and being stabbed by countless swords and spears, dying a gruesome death.
There is clearly nothing that can be done.
But shouldn’t we try?
Furthermore.
‘I… was like this too…’
Dansomi clenched her fists. Memories of the day I first met Dan Woohyun came back to me. In fact, Dan So-mi was not as miserable as this man, but she realized what death was.
The person who gave a ray of light in the midst of all this was none other than Dan Woo-hyeon, and now it seemed like no one could give hope to this man except Dan So-mi himself.
“hmm! first…!”
“Are you sure? I’d rather go to the people in Daru…”
Jinrang tried to run to Daru, seeing Somi Dan wondering what to do. Because I thought this was not something that could be done by children.
But soon Dan So-mi grabbed his wrist.
“no! “The people there will definitely be thrown out.”
“what? Abandoning a dying person? Does that make sense?”
Hong Jin-rang and Ji-yak looked bewildered, but Dan So-mi knew such things better than anyone else. Because no one wanted a dead body to come out of their home or business.
From their perspective, they would rather have the dying person die somewhere else. Someone had abandoned Dan So-mi in that alley after being beaten and miserable just before she met Dan Woo-hyeon.
At that time, Somi said Ah! He let out a short exclamation.
“You know, that!”
“What… what is it?”
“Pimak-i-pul!”
This is what Dan Woo-hyeon once told me when I climbed a mountain with him. If you use this, you can at least stop the bleeding, so be sure to remember.
Somi thought over it several times and stuck it in her head.
“Well… I’ll be back soon, so stay tuned!” Absolutely! “You can’t tell anyone else!”
“Uh… uh…”
“Ugh…”
The two children watched in a daze as Dansomi ran away. Hong Jinrang scratched his head, not having the slightest idea what on earth he was doing.
It was the same with Jiyak.
You could just go, but why are you trying to save people who are dying? While thinking about this, he quickly sighed and let out a short sigh.
Well, that kind of thing is a good thing.
Dan Woo-hyeon, who entered Akyang to take Dan So-mi away, was puzzled when he couldn’t see So-mi, who should have been in that street.
Normally it would be normal to be here at this time.
“Where did you go?”
I take a quick look around.
When there were children around the same age, I naturally looked at them. But they are just similar, Dad! It was never Somi who didn’t turn her back.
He frowned.
Since I had never experienced anything like this while attending school, I had an ominous thought that something might be going on.
The first person to catch the sweets was caught.
The merchant, who was suddenly grabbed by the back of his neck, was startled and shrugged his shoulders. This is because I realized that Dan Woo-hyeon was not ordinary.
“Hehe… hehe, hello, how are you
?”
“Have you not seen Somi?”
“I saw it.”
This is a child who comes to eat sweets without missing a day. At one time, I came with a friend or Dan Woo-hyeon, so I had no choice but to naturally get to know him.
“It’s a dumpling store.”
“Yes, I headed there.” Dan Woo-hyeon headed to the dumpling shop as he watched the merchant nodding and disappearing. But I didn’t hear anything special there either.
Although the children were muttering, it was because there were so many people that I couldn’t clearly hear them. Dan Woo-hyeon frowned and sighed.
“There are three of us, including a boy and a child named Jiyak.”
Speaking of a boy, it would probably be Hong Jin-rang.
Because the impression that came out of the dumpling shop vendor’s mouth and the appearance I saw last time matched. If so, it didn’t seem like he was being bullied by other kids.
But where on earth have these children gone?
After sighing for a moment, Dan Woo-hyeon sighed and looked around. If there are any footprints, they will chase after them, but so many people have already come and gone that not even a trace is left.
However, that does not mean that it has completely disappeared.
I sat down and looked at the footprints one by one. They said it was about an hour ago, so it was a bit older and you just need to find a few small footprints.
“This is it.”
found.
There wasn’t even a trace of it left, but it seemed blurry. A few of the footprints were seen moving towards the east.
“To the east?”
If you go to the easternmost end of the street, there is a red light district. However, since the three children had no reason to go there, they probably ended up heading somewhere else.
What else was there?
“Daru…”
Haha, he let out a short laugh.
It seems like the kids went to Daru. It was fun to have that thought in my head. It seemed like it was probably led by a girl named Jiyak.
Even if I tried to pretend, I couldn’t say I was an ordinary child.
I walked slowly towards there.
As I thought about what the three children would be doing in Daru, this also gave me a very interesting imagination.
Should we imitate adults and drink tea?
Or are they just chatting over a cup of cheap tea? It’s not a cheap place, so it will cost quite a bit of money.
Dan Woo-hyeon walked towards Daru rather leisurely.
Finally, the moment we arrived at Daru.
He frowned and turned his head.
“Ah…Dad?” A surprised Dansomi was seen. There was red blood on his hands, and the two children around him had blue faces, probably because they were scared.
“What’s going on?”
Dan Woo-hyeon urgently approached Dan So-mi. I quickly reached out and grabbed the small hand. Fortunately, there was no visible wound, probably because the blood came from a cut on the hand.
The gaze naturally turned to the side.
“…What about interest?”
A man seen through the straw. The children’s upper bodies were naked, as if they had torn their clothes.
I don’t know where I got it from, but I could see traces of it being blocked here and there with hemostasis, but it seems like they couldn’t get it all off because there were scars stuck on the back.
I could see why the children’s faces looked so tired.
“Did you try to save me?”
Somi nodded and shed tears. No matter what I did, I couldn’t save this dying person. I hurriedly applied all the hemostatic candles I had picked up from the mountain, but the bleeding only stopped a little.
His color hasn’t returned and he still can’t speak.
“why?”
” yes?”
“I asked why you tried to save this man.”
Jiyak and Hong Jinrang also had the same question. Dansomi was so desperate.
I covered the blood and wounds all over my body with my hands and screamed at him several times to stop, but he didn’t stop.
Why?
Dan So-mi grabbed Dan Woo-hyeon’s collar and grabbed him.
“But… it’s so pitiful. Somi too… Somi was saved, but I don’t want people to die like my dad and mom anymore. Argh!”
Dan Woo-hyeon sighed as he hugged Dan So-mi, who finally burst into tears. The reason this child was so desperate for life was because of the shock of having his parents murdered right before his eyes.
That’s probably why he also wanted to save the man who was dying in front of his eyes.
Dan Woo-hyeon patted Dan So-mi, who was crying.
“You guys have worked hard.”
“Oh no. “I just watched…”
Jiyak muttered, still with a bad expression. Her hands are also covered in red blood. This is because I touched it to take off my clothes.
Of course, after I took it off, I couldn’t even dare to touch it.
On the other hand, Hong Jin-rang
was worse than Dan So-mi, but she was by no means worse. There was blood all over my body. He must have been quite shocked, but his complexion was not very good.
Since he was the only boy among girls, it seems he took the initiative himself.
Dan Woohyun chuckled.
“Thank you. You guys go into the Daru and wash yourselves. “I’ll take a look at this guy.”
” really?”
“okay.”
Jiyak nodded and hurriedly led Dansomi away. Even though Daru was not a guest, it was not a problem to use water if you gave him a few pennies.
As the three children disappeared, Danwoohyun looked at the man.
“Did you say it was Kwon Moo-jin? Surely, heavenly luck has arrived.”
