Episode 829:
A huge outbuilding in the backyard.
It was so large that even outsiders could immediately tell that it was a place where alcohol was made.
When I went inside, I saw that the large liquor jars were broken in the yard, and there were several that were still intact.
The head of the family sits down on a mat in the center, drinks, and then opens his mouth.
“I told you not to let anyone in! Commander Jin! “Do you think my words are ridiculous?”
The drunk Jeong family leader was furious.
The old man was preparing for his death by crushing and drinking the peach liquor he had been making throughout his life.
Aaaaaaaaa! Wow!
The child begins to cry at the sound of that voice.
We don’t say anything to each other for a while.
Only children make noise by crying.
The angry expression of the head of the family gradually subsided.
“Who are you? Judging by the uniform worn by the Shaman sect, he appears to be a Taoist in the text, but he is rude. “Why don’t you suddenly bring a child?… Get out!”
“He is said to be the Cheonwoo of the Shaman faction. “See you Sasuk.”
While holding the baby. Cheonwoo dominates.
“Cheonjabae… I see. I guess the Shaman’s King has come. But what does that have to do with anything? This is my house. “It’s my family!”
At first, Jiajang Jeong’s eyes widened a little.
It was natural.
King Shamangwon was a direct disciple of Shamangwonje and was the one who completed the 49 rituals on his own with a memorial tablet.
The battle between him and the Emperor of Swords must be burning the hearts of countless shaman disciples at this very moment.
one. Soon, the eyes become irritated and angry again.
Shaman King?
What does it matter!
Does this mean that a Shaman King can force his way into someone else’s house and cause a ruckus?
“Get out! What would King Gwon say if he saw this? What would Jang Moon-in say when he saw this! Get out! “Because I don’t want to see it!”
The old man glares at Cheonwoo with hostile eyes.
When he got angry, he stopped even speaking in his own language and started yelling in informal language.
however. Cheonwoo was calm.
Without saying a word, I just walked up to the head of the family, holding the baby.
And then suddenly. He handed out the crying baby to the head of the house.
The sweet scent of peach liquor forced the old man into a hug.
“Please hold me for now.”
“What rudeness is this! Now make fun of this old man….”
Baby. I stopped crying.
The old man has a blank face at that sight.
“Fortunately, the. “The baby has stopped crying.”
Cheonwoo continued speaking while rubbing his chest with his huge hand.
“As expected, my great-grandfather is in good hands.”
“what?”
“He is your great-grandson.”
“Great…grandson?”
There was no need for long words or persuasion.
It was useless to talk about passion for the future.
“My grandchild had a child?”
“yes. “I brought the baby under orders from the gate.”
“Your grandchild… had a baby…?”
The voice of the head of the family is trembling. The baby started crying again.
“What is this… please say something that makes sense. “I said something like that…”
It was a strange thing.
Without saying a word of the story, the old man just held the child and said that it was his grandchild, but the old man could not push the child away.
Even though I was wondering in the back of my head that I was doing something ridiculous, how can I trust someone who gave me a child like this out of the blue?
Tears began to well up in the eyes of the head of the family.
“A great-grandson… What is this… Now this lump of blood… Why…”
Cheon-woo smiles softly and takes the baby out of the head of the house.
As the baby escapes from his arms, the head of the family Jeong’s eyes shake.
Even though I had only held the baby once, I felt a cold breeze between my armpits as the baby left my arms.
Just one action can shake a person’s heart.
The baby returned to Cheonwoo’s arms, but was still crying.
“I don’t think you’re crying because of the smell of alcohol… Ah, it’s time to change the diaper.”
Jin Cheon-hee was a little surprised to see that.
‘Cheonwoo… Cheonwoo is so… good at solving problems…’
I had no idea that a bear-like guy could be so sensitive to people’s feelings.
‘is not it? Is it just because the baby cried? ‘Maybe it’s my imagination.’
It looked so natural that even Jin Cheon-hee was confused.
just as expected. The head of the house lost face in an instant and just kept repeating, ‘Oh my god.’
But one thing is certain.
There was life in the old man’s eyes.
Love is the most powerful poison that kills people, but on the other hand, it is also a medicine that makes people live.
Cheonwoo knew that well.
Cheonwoo naturally gives the child to the old man again.
The head of the family holds the child with trembling hands.
“As expected, grandpa seems to be nice. “I’m clumsy.”
“That’s right. “I’m sure you’ve never raised a child before…”
As he said that, the grandfather skillfully held the child.
It was affection.
Jeong was there.
* * *
Cheonwoo politely called the head of the Jeong family “Sasuk” and treated him with courtesy.
In martial arts novels, the way new martial arts and old martial arts are aligned and their strictness vary slightly depending on the writer and world view, and sometimes they are decided in an unconventional way.
Still, if you look at the trends, the new martial arts associations tend to be loosely held, and as you go down to the old martial arts associations, the lines tend to be tighter.
In particular, even if you are a lay disciple, there is a line, but the original world view of the Supreme Heavenly Demon takes this in a somewhat old-fashioned way.
In that sense, Jeong Ga-jangju is called Sa-suk because he is the one who learned martial arts in the next line of King Gwon.
‘Strictly speaking, that’s true, but just because they use the line that way doesn’t mean they’re particularly polite. ‘It’s normal for lay disciples to be ignored.’
Nevertheless, Tian Yu treated the head of the Zheng family with deference.
As the Shaman King humbled himself and showed his respect, the Jeong family head was filled with an unknown warmth.
“Please speak in peace. “Sasuk.”
Director Jeong changed his clothes, wiped off the smell of alcohol, and welcomed the child.
Although he still seemed to be under the influence of alcohol, he seemed to have returned with a much clearer mind than before.
“There will be a need for that. Although this old man is of high rank, he is only a lay disciple. “Please just call me Jangju.”
Cheonwoo did not answer right away, but thought about it and eventually nodded.
“…If it’s convenient for you, I’ll do it. Lord Jang.”
“So… you said this child I’m holding right now is my great-grandson…?”
“That’s right.”
“….”
Suddenly, tears began to form in the old man’s eyes again.
He looks away, probably feeling embarrassed.
Feeling like she knows how the old man feels, Jin Cheon-hee waits until the old man calms down.
“Who can believe you if you say something so suddenly? “I need to hear more details.”
“Baa!”
A man who can’t believe it gives strength to the hand holding his great-grandson.
Cheonwoo glanced at the old man’s wrinkled hands and then naturally continued speaking.
“It’s natural that you don’t believe it. First, I would like to talk about what I know from the independent faction.”
As he said that, Cheonwoo asked what kind of woman his grandson had an affair with and had a child with.
He then told a story about how the woman came to the shaman group and left her child in charge, but died soon after due to illness.
Of course, the non-partisan group investigated this matter and confirmed that it was true.
“…But even though we confirmed that what the woman said was true to some extent, not even the shamans know anything about the woman’s personal circumstances.”
“yes. That’s right. If I had known, I would have looked for my maternal family as well. However, judging from the traces of her having practiced martial arts for a long time, it is clear that her mother is also a strong person. I didn’t leave it to my family or relatives. “Seeing as she climbed Mt. Wudang with a feeling of grasping at straws, it is highly likely that her mother also has a story.”
“…He’s a strong, strong man.”
“….”
The old man closes his eyes.
“I see… Is he Jin-i’s son…”
Jeong-jin.
It’s the grandson’s name.
The old man lifts the child with his bony arms and makes eye contact.
The child smiled brightly at the old man.
He was a gentle baby.
A tear flowed from the old man’s eye again.
“Jin… without even saying a word to this little girl… and then… hehehehehe…” After
laughing and laughing for a while, the old man said.
“Can you give me some time alone?”
“All right.”
“I will leave the child here.”
With that said, he returned the baby to Cheonwoo.
Cheonwoo awkwardly received the baby and went outside with everyone.
A sobbing sound rang out in the room for a long time.
It is a requiem for my grandson. Feeling resentment and understanding of one’s miserable fate, and gratitude for the gift he received at the end…
a feeling that can never be expressed in human language.
‘I see. ‘It’s fate.’
It was the sound of a terrible relationship.
A medicine that saves people.
‘This baby has done what no congressman can do.’
“Boo boo boo boo.”
The baby waves his hand.
Cheonwoo said.
“I’m already calling my grandfather.”
“huh? “Not your dad?”
“It’s my grandfather. ha ha ha. “It looks good already.”
Cheonwoo stroked the child’s head. Looking at that scene, Sima Xuan thought.
‘It looks like my brother will definitely leave this child to me~’
Isn’t the game over when you’ve already given me a toad-like great-grandchild?
It looks like it will be thoroughly completed until the end.
I felt like a complete crime when I deliberately and clumsily held the child in front of the head of the family, but I had no idea that he would even use the baby’s cooing to send it away.
‘It’s terrible. Anyway, it’s really terrible~’
Even Chunhee hyung is intrigued.
“Ah… Is it really the lower part? It seems like that because I heard it that way. hey.”
My brother has already passed.
* * *
next day.
The head of the Jeong family asked Jin Cheon-hee to serve alone.
The disheveled appearance from before was gone, but the appearance of him sitting with his clothes properly refined was like that of a veteran of battle, and he looked just like the giant tree that the villagers had relied on.
His eyes, which had become clouded with sadness, regained their focus.
I felt like I knew very well what the reason was.
“Abubu…”
Isn’t the great-grandson trying to get out of his grandfather’s lap?
He would start walking after a while, but even if he had to use servants, he would have to be alert to handle it.
“I have heard of Baekrin Uigak’s reputation. But I want to know how to cure it.”
“First, we will cut out the rotten affected area and treat it. next. The cause of Sogal will be treated through a combination of medication and martial arts training. In fact, to be honest, it is not a complete cure, but rather a matter of continuing to live with it.”
Jin Cheon-hee explained at length about Sogal (diabetes).
Something about sugar. About blood sugar. Various complications that arise as a result.
Fortunately, thanks to the fact that Jiajou Jeong practiced martial arts when he was young, the blood vessels in his upper body were in relatively good condition.
Otherwise, arteriosclerosis and stroke would have occurred long ago.
However, there is a big problem with the lower body. So, my feet started to rot.
“The most important thing is of course. Management of blood sugar. Sogal is an incurable disease, but if you manage it, there are no problems. And the best thing for managing blood sugar is martial arts training.”
“I see… hehe… indeed. They say Sogal is incurable and needs to be managed…”
After thinking for a moment, the head of the Jeong family opened her mouth again.
“I think it won’t be easy to practice martial arts again with this old body. If things continue like this, I’m worried that I’ll become famous before I even get to do it properly. “You can’t just close your eyes on this little thing, can you?”
Jin Cheon-hee smiled instead of answering.
It was strange. Why, having this man in front of me, I felt a strange sense of security that something would turn out well.
“But no matter how good a doctor you are, it is not easy to overcome age. “That is what heaven has decided.”
Only then did Jin Cheonhee open her mouth.
“No matter what heaven decides, humans do not necessarily have to follow it.”
What on earth are you trying to do?
