Episode 51
Today is an unusually hot day compared to other days.
The sweltering heat was so bad that I couldn’t breathe, and even though I was sitting quietly in the shade, I couldn’t control my sweat. Seeing people working under the
scorching
sun is truly indescribable and pitiful.
Namgung So-hye, who was sitting in the shade leisurely chewing sweets and looking to one side, felt that their lives were truly pitiful.
“Oh shit…” “Ah-it’s hot…”
It’s pitiful.
Even though the two guys are like that, I really feel sorry for Dan So-mi.
Although she desperately wanted to sit in the shade and rest together, Dansomi was determined to stay with the other two men until the work was finished.
“Then why are you plowing the field on such a hot day? “I think I have a lot of money, but I use people.”
“Who do you think is doing this because they don’t know that?”
Jang Sam-tae must have been very annoyed by Gung So-hye, a man who opened his mouth leisurely and calmly, and raised his voice.
They also have the same desire to use people.
This was especially true for Jang Sam-tae, who, unlike Dan So-mi and Kwon Moo-jin, had to cut down trees with nothing to learn.
But all of these are Dan Woo-hyeon’s orders.
You can use the remaining time freely only by splitting it into half an hour, taking a break each day, and then cutting down wood again for a full two hours.
This is no exception, even for monosomy.
Ever since the last incident with the Three Provinces, Dan Woo-hyeon had been making people do these things as if they were in a rush. Well, it’s only been four days since it started.
At that time, Kwon Moo-jin frowned and muttered quietly, as if he did not like Namgung So-hye, who was quietly resting.
“Why don’t you just stay still and help me?”
“Because it’s hot.”
“There is no one who is not hot. “Somi can do it, but you’re not even as good as Aeman.” “No, this is our job. “You don’t have to help me.”
Dansomi smiled brightly.
Perhaps because she worked outside in this scorching sun for four days, Dan So-mi’s face got more tanned than before.
The hand that was holding the scythe had even been torn apart, so a little blood was visible, which was also because he was still not good at holding the scythe.
To make a child like this work…
Namgung So-hye sighed and sighed.
“Somi, come here. “Sit next to your sister.”
“No. “It’s something my dad told me to do.”
“You shouldn’t listen to stepfather like that. “Then all your beautiful hands will explode.”
Dan So-mi glanced at her hands.
I saw the blister burst and blood flowing.
She cried for a moment, but then shook her head.
“Really, Somi is fine. “I’ve done it before, farming.”
Hehe, Dansomi sat down with a smile
.
Then he picked up the scythe and started cutting weeds again.
Actually, it’s not that it’s not hard, but it’s quite enjoyable because it reminds me of how I used to farm the fields with my two parents.
The moment Namgung So-hye sighs softly as she looks at it.
“He who does not work should not eat. “Don’t you know that?”
A voice was heard from behind.
Namgung So-hye, who was eating sweets, was coughing and pounding her chest as if she were sick. The person I was eating got stuck in my throat due to the person who showed up without even pretending to be popular.
“Why don’t you show off a bit?”
“It only seems like blaming others for what you didn’t hear.”
“Huh… Hmph! Anyway. And you’re the one who doesn’t work? I have completed the work of the Murim League and am currently taking a break. Moreover, they also provide accommodation fees every day. “Very expensive!”
Namgung Sohye frowned at Ami.
The cost of accommodation per day is a whopping 1 nyang.
It is an incredibly expensive amount, as there is no place to receive the silver, no matter what kind of guest house it is.
They even get paid for two out of three meals a day.
One penny each.
‘I’m glad I brought money from home. Otherwise, I would have had to beg again.’
Namgung Sohye thought that her fairyland name was truly amazing.
Realizing that the place where opium was spread was in Honam, he doubled the amount he normally received from the Murim Alliance and received a considerable amount of pocket money from his father who remained in the Murim Alliance.
If it weren’t for those things, I would have already been broke.
“It’s expensive? You get one free meal a day, and the room you’re staying in is a bit big? “Even if I received five nyang instead of just one, I wouldn’t mind it.”
“…joy.”
Namgung Sohye turned her head with a pointed gaze.
Dan Woo-hyeon’s words are also not wrong. The cost of sleeping in a guesthouse, even if it is a shabby place, is more than twenty pennies.
However, since they do not provide meals, you end up spending a lot of money after paying for various things.
That’s why it went bankrupt at one point.
Even the room is small.
“Anyway, if you haven’t done anything, why don’t you try it too?”
“Eh? Me? I’ve never worked in the fields before…”
Again,
Namgung Sohye looked away.
It’s not even proper field work. What the people in front of us are doing right now is the process of tilling the field. Because of that, it only feels more difficult.
Kwon Moo-jin is holding a huge hammer and is breaking stones, while Jang Sam-tae is chopping wood.
Since Dansomi was removing weeds, it seemed like there was actually nothing she could do.
At that time, Dan Woo-hyeon chuckled.
He handed over the hoe he was holding, wondering when he had brought it with him.
“You just have to hit the ground.”
” to?”
“Starting from here, I mean the entire flat area.”
Namgung Sohye quietly looked at the ground.
The ground around where she is currently sitting is fairly flat. Since the work was already done, it seemed like I could just start hoeing to plow the field.
However, the problem is that no matter how much you remove stones, cut down trees, or tear up weeds, the stones stuck in the ground do not disappear.
Even now, before her eyes, she could see several small stones stuck in the ground.
Hoe this?
I think it would be faster to overthrow it using cows.
“I’d rather have a cow…”
“Buy it.” If you ask me to buy it, I have nothing to say.
Who is it that buys and sacrifices expensive cows for their benefit?
“I am paying for accommodation.”
“Then you will receive two silver coins a day.”
“yes?!”
“The room is spacious, the view is nice, and it’s close to the water… It’s summer and we’re entering the peak season, so why not overcharge.”
Is that something you want to say out loud?
Namgung Sohye shook the corners of her mouth and trembled.
But Dan Woo-hyeon’s words are not wrong.
It’s a hot day like this and it’s a time when people are out and about having fun.
In fact, since this place is next to Agyang Dongjeongho Lake, most of the guesthouses charge expensive prices in order to get quite a lot of money during this time.
Dan Woo-hyeon is going to do it now.
But Namgoong Sohye also has a solution.
Now her pockets are overflowing.
“Try it!”
“Hoo? “I guess I have quite deep pockets this time, don’t you?”
“It’s natural because I went through something like that. “Don’t underestimate me.”
Namgung Sohye grinned.
This time things won’t go as Dan Woo-hyeon wants.
The amount of money I received from the Murim League was large, but the allowance I received from my father was also equivalent to a year’s salary for most people.
“Then shall we place a bet?”
“My bet?”
Namgung So-hye looked at Dan Woo-hyeon with suspicious eyes.
Are you betting out of nowhere?
You don’t seem like someone who gambles, but do you like it?
Because it was quite unexpected, Namgung Sohye opened her mouth with a smile on her face.
“What are you going to do?”
“It’s very easy. “It’s about taking a hoe from here to there and seeing who can plow the field in ten rows first.”
“Hmm,” Namgung Sohye swallowed a moan.
The distance from where she is to the end, where Dansomi is cutting weeds, is a little over twenty miles.
Although this is my first time hoeing, I have enough stamina to do so.
In fact, she is a woman with a very high level of skill, so if she puts her mind to it, it may not take a day to hoe her.
As she grinned, Dan Woo-hyeon opened his mouth.
“Do you agree?”
“What are you going to bet on?”
“Let’s not charge one day’s lodging fee.”
Namgung Sohye thought deeply.
I had no idea what this guy was thinking, but it didn’t seem like a bad idea.
It is also a golden opportunity to save money.
“great! But one more thing. “You should also give me free food.”
“Of course.”
“Then what should I do…?”
“I don’t really need anything from you, but since it’s a bet, there has to be something. That way it burns even more. “How about just one hermit?”
At most, it’s just one night’s lodging fee.
Namgung Sohye nodded gently.
‘Why is this guy talking about my proper plan?’
It almost makes you think that the sun will rise in the west tomorrow.
But it’s not bad. The loss isn’t that big either.
“But Confucius Dan is a master, so count to twenty after I start and then leave. “That doesn’t matter, right?”
“Let’s count to fifty and leave.”
“Do you feel confident?”
Dan Woo-hyeon was seen smiling and nodding his head.
Namgung Sohye also smiled.
She had good physical strength since childhood, and was confident that she would not lose in terms of strength and stamina, no matter how great Dan Woo-hyeon was.
Moreover, since he has to count to fifty, the reality is that he has no choice but to fall behind Namgung So-hye.
Of course, it may be a bit awkward since you have never hoeed before, but it is not difficult as you can simply dig the ground.
There are at most twenty pages and ten lines. Even time is on her side.
“Then let’s get started.”
“great!”
Namgung So-hye picked up a hoe and injected energy into it.
I radiated my strength with the thought that I would dig all the way to the ground in one go.
Puk puk puk!
She rushed forward in an instant.
It shows the momentum to go straight to the end and is so focused on what’s in front of you that it doesn’t seem like anything else comes into view.
Now she is only focused on digging.
‘I will win! ‘I win!’
Namgung So-hye started hoeing with a light in her eyes.
Since she could hear the sound of counting numbers one by one from behind, her hands had no choice but to move faster.
Before I knew it, I was sweating profusely.
After finishing one row, turn around and go two rows.
I dug three lines again.
As if to prove that this was not an easy task, sweat was pouring down like rain and I staggered as if my whole body was losing strength.
But still, I gritted my teeth and hoeed.
In order not to lose to Dan Woo-hyeon this time!
In an instant, she planted nine rows of fields.
Soon, the sound of fifty was heard from behind, and at the same time, Namgung Sohye grinned as she roughly put down the hoe after plowing the last piece of land.
“Huh huh! Look… look! “I
won, right?”
I looked at Dan Woo-hyeon without even being able to wipe away the sweat that was flowing down. Her triumphant face and the pleasure of defeating Dan Woo-hyeon seemed to dominate her whole body.
But something is strange.
Dan Woo-hyeon did not plow even a single field.
Then, looking at her smiling, he smiled and threw the hoe in his hand to the ground.
“Okay, you won.”
A sound of
laughter was heard in her ear .
Eventually he turned his back and disappeared.
Namgung Sohye looked at his back blankly. For a moment, the corners of his mouth twitched, as if he couldn’t figure out what was going on, and then he turned his head.
At the end of my gaze, I saw Jang Sam-tae and Kwon Moo-jin.
She asked, pointing her finger at Dan Woo-hyeon, who was disappearing.
“Hey… hey where are you going? yes? Please tell me a little more! “You can’t go on like this!” However, even though Dan Woo-hyeon heard the voice, he did not even pay attention and disappeared.
Namgung Sohye looked at it with a dumbfounded expression.
Soon the corners of his mouth trembled and he looked around.
“I… I won, right?”
“Haa…”
Kwon Moo-jin shook his head and sighed. Perhaps because he didn’t want to worry anymore, he became absorbed in breaking the rock again.
Jang Sam-tae also must have felt an indescribable pity, so he came over and patted her on the shoulder before turning his back.
“excuse me! Please tell me I won! Please! I won! Yes?”
Although they tried to speak several times, the two kept their mouths shut. The current situation was completely because Namgung So-hye had fallen for Dan Woo-hyeon’s trick.
‘Simple things.’
‘You’re a fool.’
The two people laughed bitterly, each hiding their true feelings.
