Episode 16
“Hey! What are you doing?”
“hmm…?”
Yeo Ha-ryun wipes her face with her sleeve.
The sleeve was already soaked in blood, so wiping my face only made it dirtier.
‘He was like this.’
I had forgotten the true nature of this guy.
This guy likes slaughter. The blood of the Heavenly Saint wants it.
Even if you haven’t killed anyone yet, that doesn’t change.
“Listen to this.”
As Tanghulu almost fell to the ground, Yeo Ha-ryun quickly caught it.
Jin Cheonhee said indifferently.
“let’s go.”
“Do more.”
At Yeo Ha-ryun’s feet, the three dogs were rolling around, their limbs twisted and blood flowing from their skulls.
Jin Cheon-hee immediately understood what more was being done.
“stop.”
“This person used his martial arts skills to persecute the weak. So you can kill me.”
Since I suffered an injury like that, I wonder if I could use the power of modern medicine. I will live worse than if I were already dead.
‘There’s no reason for me to help.’
Jin Cheon-hee was a doctor, but he was not a saint.
There are probably a lot of other doctors around here, so I’ll either find them or not.
‘But no. ‘If I commit my first murder here, I’ll get a lot of attention.’
While there are those who are targeting Yeo Ha-ryun, there are also moderates who want to leave it alone.
If you get the information that someone has already been killed here, Jin Cheon-hee’s future difficulty level will increase by three times.
‘The problem is how to calm that crazy dog down. That Little Heavenly Demon hasn’t fully acknowledged me as his older brother yet.’
Even at this very moment, the instinct of an assassin must be urging him on.
Jin Cheon-hee said calmly.
“Ah, Tanghulu is melting.”
At that moment, Yeo Ha-ryun unconsciously placed her mouth on Tanghulu.
Whoop –
I can’t help it. This is human instinct.
The man’s expression relaxed, perhaps because the sugar in the starch syrup was agitating his brain.
Jin Cheon-hee said.
“If Tanghulu gets blood on it, you have to throw it away.”
“But…”
“Eat that? “Are you a beggar?”
Yeo Ha-ryun’s eyebrows twitched when asked if she was a beggar.
The guy finally got up.
“I get it.”
‘thank god. My child is young so he can eat sweets.’
Jin Cheonhee breathed a sigh of relief.
As expected, you must not let down your guard until you get to the Demonic Church.
That may be a virtue(?) only in a demonic religion where power rules, but in the normal world, there is still a degree.
* * *
Jin Cheon-hee took Little Cheonma to a nearby well and washed it.
Because I couldn’t return to the Cloud Serpent Nation with a bloody face.
Little Cheonma seemed busy eating the Tanghulu that Jin Cheonhee gave her.
‘Ha, I’m dying. die.’
Although the blood on his clothes was difficult to wash off, he was able to go from being a bloody child to a wet child.
Yeo Ha-ryun looked puzzled as to why Jin Cheon-hee was doing this.
“It’s all about social life. men and horses.”
“Social Life?”
‘okay. It’s too far for you to know. Why is Cheonma worried about her social life? All you have to do is blow off the heads of all the annoying guys. ‘In the world of cancer, cancer is cancer.’
It’s a demonic slogan.
It can be said that it clearly conveys the will of the first demonic cult leader to color the world black.
My hands are already shaking when I think about seeing that with my own eyes later.
An uncontrollable feeling of shame comes over me.
No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t find myself not laughing.
“oh my! Are you here? Confucius!”
I heard a voice. When I looked up, a familiar furry man was coming holding a child.
“oh! mister?”
This is Uncle Damjagang, the younger brother of Unjisang, the head of Unryongpyoguk.
The first patient Jin Cheon-hee treated. Not only did he protect the money from the hordes of magic bandits, but he even gave it to Jin Cheon-hee to make sure he delivered it to his wife.
It was truly terrifying persistence.
“I found it after hearing about it at the market.”
All of the Gasols talk to Jin Cheon-hee, but this man is speaking highly of Jin Cheon-hee, calling him Confucius and asking how he can talk to his benefactor.
There was a baby in Damjagang’s arms, and he was wearing pretty baby shoes.
“Oh, that child…?”
“When I came back from my trip, the baby had already been born and had grown this much. “It’s not an uncommon thing for us priests.”
The child opened his eyes and looked at Jin Cheonhee.
“Byaa….”
The child sucked his thumb.
“Cheonhee. Look. “This person is the benefactor who saved my father’s life.”
“Cheonhee?”
“It was named after Confucius. “My name is Dam Cheon-hee.”
Before Jin Cheon-hee could be surprised, the baby screamed.
“Kya!”
The child moved his arms as if he wanted to be hugged by Jin Cheon-hee. Jin Cheon-hee accepted the baby unexpectedly.
‘He’ll be able to walk soon, right?’
At first glance, the baby seemed to be a strong, strong baby.
“Bye! Abyabbyabbya!”
The baby got saliva on Jin Cheon-hee’s clothes, but Jin Cheon-hee didn’t care.
Because the baby was healthy and Uncle Damjagang looked happy.
‘okay. ‘This taste makes me a doctor.’
Others find being a doctor a rewarding career.
Everyday life is a meaningful human drama. However, in reality, this kind of reward is rarely achieved.
Usually, I just do it because there is so much work to do. I’m sleepy and tired, I want to go home and go back to work…
“Confucius.”
“yes?”
“My last journey ended well thanks to Confucius. “The provincial government now wants to do nothing but bite off Pyoguk’s desk.”
“Is it because you are limping?”
It saved his life, but left him crippled. As a sign, it was quite a fatal thing.
Damjagang shook his head.
“For a long time, my brother was planning to make me a footnote in Bunta. However, the village head still had regrets and asked for one last act. Since my life was saved and I came back thanks to the grace of Confucius, I cannot be more greedy. “I am grateful that I was able to come back and take care of my child and wife.”
Suddenly, Damjagang’s eyes turned red.
Perhaps embarrassed, Damjagang looked away.
“My wife will be waiting for me, so I’ll go back. let’s go. “It’s Cheonhee.”
“Bye! Byapbyap!”
When I turned my gaze, I saw the baby holding Yeo Ha-ryun’s hand.
The spit-covered hand covered Yeo Ha-ryun’s fingers stickily, but Yeo Ha-ryun did not avoid the hand or look away, but just stared at this scene for a long time.
“….”
Eventually, the child let go.
Jin Cheon-hee returned the child to his father.
The child laughed, babbling an unknown number of times as if he was disappointed.
“Karrrr!”
Jin Cheon-hee also laughed and waved at that smile.
“be healthy.”
* * *
The two returned to Pyoguk. On the way back, Yeo Ha-ryun looked at her hands for a while and said this.
“You… deserve to be a brother.”
“hmm?”
“No, we warriors only know how to kill. It has been believed that destroying bad people will lead to harm. But in the end, the essence is murder. “We reach the path of how to kill humans well, and we continue on that path.”
Yeo Ha-ryun closed her eyes heavily for a moment. He continued.
“In the end, a bow and sword is just a superficial word. It is the same whether it is the Shaman faction of Taoism or the Shaolin faction of Buddhism. “We learn radish to kill humans.”
Yeo Ha-ryun raises her pitch-black eyes and looks at Jin Cheon-hee.
“You saved me and that person. He saved the warrior of the Gongsun family and saved the person of the Unryongpyo country. “And I also saved the three dogs I encountered today.”
Jin Cheon-hee feels the weight of Yeo Ha-ryun’s words. It was far beyond the weight of life that an ordinary child could feel.
“I’ll probably still kill someone. That’s all I’ve learned, and only the act of taking life excites me. So… you are better than me. “You deserve it.”
Jin Cheon-hee stared at Yeo Ha-ryun and said this.
“Good. Please call me one more time. brother.”
“brother…?”
“good job. ha ha ha.”
Jin Cheon-hee blushed as she said that.
I wanted to evoke this atmosphere somehow.
The life of Yeo Ha-Ryun that I read in the book was truly that of a typical martial arts protagonist.
1. Precious family members die.
2. Because of the secret of his birth, he is chased by pursuers at every important moment.
3. Fighting against the madness of a thousand deaths, you enter the center of bloodshed.
Every time such a sweet potato process comes, this guy becomes stronger with his deceptive power, kills all the enemies and explodes the cider, but in the process, he loses his precious people, weeps and decides to take revenge, and enters into an even bigger blood feud again.
Heavenly Demon.
It usually refers to the leader of a demonic religion.
Until he got to that position, he had never lived comfortably and had never once felt such small happiness.
‘It’s not the style of martial arts these days.’
Yeo Ha-Ryun belittled herself by calling herself a murderer, but Jin Cheon-Hee thought that life was also wonderful.
‘okay. ‘That’s not the style of martial arts protagonists these days.’
Some might say that we are behind the times. But I had no intention of denying it now. still.
‘What you like, you still like it even after time passes.’
It’s a shame that the same thing doesn’t come out. Even so, because I didn’t dislike the new thing, I ended up complaining.
Grumpy decided to wander around a bit more with Yeo Ha-ryun.
The main character, a book he has read for a long time that is his favorite, rolls as he rolls there.
I wanted to at least give something in return to the person who made me endure the difficult reality.
It would have been nice to say it was the heart of a fan.
Or, it would have been nice to say that it was a strategy for adults who want to go back to their childhood and play without thinking.
Moreover, he must have felt something and it seemed like he truly decided to think of Jin Cheon-hee as his older brother.
‘Still, I won’t give you the same enlightenment as Gongsunyoung.’
Not now that I can’t control my power. On the contrary, you will end up being eaten by your own madness.
What this guy needed was this little bit of warmth.
“The mugwort tea arrived for me too. brother.”
It seems like the word ‘hyung’ is starting to come into my mouth now.
His cheeks were full of Tanghulu.
“Usually you feel bad if you eat it all by yourself. “You should also take care of the people around you.”
“It was to cover up Gongsunyoung for turning the garden upside down.”
‘You noticed. As expected from a main character, he has good brains.’
Still, a child is a child. Weak on food.
After feeding him lots of delicious food, his speech became softer.
Jin Cheonhee laughed mischievously.
“Let’s do it together. “Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk.”
“The courtiers of the Gongsong family gave me mugwort tea and smiled awkwardly, saying they were sorry. It could have been serious, but thanks to my brother, I ended up laughing. “Some people praised Gongson-yeong’s personality, saying that she cared so much for her older sister.”
“Of course you did it with a smile, right?”
“Well, because the situation was funny. In contrast, everyone was surprised at how delicious mugwort tea was. “That made it funnier.”
“Then that’s it. “That is social life.”
“Social Life? “It’s something we talked about a little while ago.”
As if he had been influenced once, he now listens seriously to Jin Cheon-hee’s words.
‘It’s a good opportunity for brainwashing(?).’
Jin Cheonhee thought like that and cleared her voice.
