Episode 1495. So what year and day is it now according to the solar calendar?
Jin and Wol opened their eyes to the warm warmth coming to their faces.
Unknowingly he remembered the fight with the Jangnakbang assassins and jumped up from his seat.
However the Jangnakbang assassins were nowhere to be seen.
Instead Yeon Jeok-ha was looking at himself blankly inside the abandoned house that was collapsing.
“Why did you… see the Jangnakbang guys?”
“I did see it.”
“You saw them and survived? “Please explain what happened.”
“When those guys were trying to kill the Vice President… some charlatan appeared overpowered them and disappeared. “After that I quickly took the vice president and ran away.”
“A charlatan?”
Jin and Yue looked at Yeon Je-he with ambiguous eyes.
This is because it smells so strongly of a martial arts drama that I can hardly believe it.
“Did you see whose face it was?”
“I didn’t see it.”
Yeonjeokha naturally responded.
It wasn’t a lie. How can you see your own face without a mirror?
Jin and Wol quickly went out the door looked around him and then came back.
“ha! If what you say is true… you and I went right up to the Grim Reaper and came out. Majang Cheong is not one to give up his prey easily. “Do you know where this is?”
“I don’t know. “I went as far as I could and came across an abandoned house so I came in to take a rest.”
Jin and Wol said tracing his shoulders and waist with their hands.
“I see. “My wounds must have been minor… Did you treat them?”
“Rather than treating it I just applied wound medication and tied it up.”
“Thank you. I’ve been stabbed several times but this is the first time I’ve felt this refreshed. “Have you studied medicine?”
“Not at all. “It’s because I’m not friends with people while I’m studying.”
“I see.”
Could it be that the words of a person whose mind is in a state of flux are not considered important?
Jin and Yue did not ask any more questions.
However that was only apparent on the surface. Jin and Wol observed her behavior unnoticed.
Because although she honestly doesn’t believe it he could have been a top-tier mutant.
Jin and Wol who were looking at the bonfire with blank faces suddenly took out a black pad from their pockets.
It is a genetic mutation measuring device (MDM).
As Yeon Jeok-ha stared at the measuring instrument Jin Gwa-wol smiled and said.
“Are you curious about what this is?”
“I heard it’s a dimensional force meter.”
“It’s less accurate than NASA’s but it’s still quite a fun product. “Hold his hand out in front of you.”
“Hands?”
As Yeonjeokha stretched out his right hand Jin and Wol placed the pad on Yeonjeokha’s palm and turned it on.
A white light spun in a circle in the center of the pad.
Has it been about 30 seconds?
‘Tiring!’ Along with the sound the number 0 appeared in the center of the pad.
“Your dimensional power is 0. “That means he’s a normal person not a mutant.”
“ah! “It wasn’t…”
Yeon Jeok-ha who likes free things spoke with a sad expression on his face.
Unlike Yeon Je-he Jin Gua-yol’s expression was bright.
Now he decided to trust the young man in front of him – even though his mind was going back and forth.
Jin Guewol who retrieved the pad asked seriously.
“What do you plan to do next?”
“There is a woman I must meet. “She intends to look for that woman ship.”
“She’s Yeo-seon? “Who is she talking about?”
Jin and Wol thought that Yeon Jeok-ha wanted to meet a celebrity out of fanfare.
It was an understandable situation for someone who was immersed in martial arts dramas.
“Gucheonhyeonnyeo.”
“You can’t find anything other than casting. “She’s saying who the actress is.”
“What is the role and what is the actress?”
“Isn’t there an actress who played the wise woman of nine heavens in a drama or movie? “She is who she is.”
“You said it was a drama earlier. What is it? “What is the movie about?”
“Aren’t you talking about a TV drama? “You sure don’t know what TV is right?”
“What is that?”
“….”
Jin and Wol were frustrated but she wasn’t angry.
Because I know that he is both a lifesaver and a crazy person.
“Even if you hear it a hundred times it’s not as good as seeing it once right? I’ll show you later. By the way… it looks like there’s nothing else to do other than meeting the Nine Heavenly Wise Woman is that right?”
“you’re right.”
“Is it possible that you came all the way from Hefei to meet the wise woman of Nine Heavens?”
“yes.”
“That’s right that’s right.”
Jin and Wol nodded their heads as if they now knew everything.
‘You thought the drama was real and wandered around to meet the wise woman of Gucheon.’
Feeling sad he opened his mouth.
“You said you don’t have a resident ID or residence card right?”
“yes. Is that really necessary?”
“of course. Even in the old days if you didn’t have a title didn’t you have to be taken to Pocheong? Identity verification has become more stringent in modern times than in the past. If you don’t have an ID you will be taken to the police. “It may have been the case in the past but there is nothing good about being intertwined with public security.”
Jin and Wol shook their heads as if they were sick of just thinking about it.
“I only have a fighting card… this won’t work right?”
“of course. So I’m thinking of making you an ID card in return… What do you think?”
For Jin Gwa-wol a middle manager of the Triad Association creating an ID card was not a task.
“I am grateful.”
Yeonjeokha readily accepted Jin Gwawol’s offer.
In order to survive in this era I needed to have an ID card so I had to grab the opportunity when it came.
“I understand. “If you tell me where you’re from… it will take a week.”
Yeon Jeok-ha who wanted to say his hometown was Seok Gyeong-jang asked carefully.
“Is it possible to mix the stir-fry?”
“Of course it is possible. However it will take at least a month to prepare for Hapbi. Maybe it will take a little longer. “Is that okay?”
“Yes if possible I would like it to be Hapbi. “That’s the house I lived in.”
“Oh I see you remember home. somewhere? If possible I will try to guess that way.”
Jin Gwa-wol dug into it to see if it would help him revive Yeon Je-he’s memories.
“This is Seokgyeongjang in Yeoganghyeon.”
“Seokgyeongjang… It sounds like the name of a motel or restaurant right?”
“Not at all. “It’s a regular manor.”
“Oh you don’t know what number it is?”
“What is the street address?”
When Yeon Jeok-he made that dumb expression Jin and Yue quickly finished speaking.
“It’s okay if you don’t know. It’s hard to do with Seokgyeongjang anyway. If you’re lucky you might be able to match Yeo Kang-hyeon. “If that doesn’t work I’ll just be satisfied with the combined ratio.”
The Triad Association is not an ID issuing agency.
They only forge the identities of deceased wanderers peasant workers etc.
Therefore it was difficult for Yeo Kang-hyeon let alone Seok Kyeong-jang to be sure.
“yes. I guess it doesn’t matter. If you can’t decide you can use Sibeonsi as your hometown.”
There was no insistence on the place of birth where one registered oneself.
In fact his hometown did not mean much to him as he had been wandering around without any ties for a long time.
“By the way do you know how old you are?”
Now Jin and Yue openly treated Yeon Je-he as ‘a person with a problem in his head’ but Yeon-de-he did not care.
Rather I was more worried about how old I should be.
“I don’t know?”
“Well too.”
Jin and Yue did not criticize him and asked why he did not know about such things.
Looking back on my conversation with him so far it wasn’t surprising that he didn’t know.
Jin Guawol who was carefully examining Yeon Jeok-ha’s face said.
“It looks to me like you’re in your mid-twenties.”
“Aren’t you in your mid-thirties?”
“Don’t joke. No one would believe you if you were in your thirties with that face. Instead they’ll think it’s suspicious. “I think I can get an ID card for someone in their mid to late twenties.”
Jin Gwa-wol who was muttering to himself glanced at Yeon Je-he.
“What else is left?”
“Why don’t you stay with me until I get my ID? Oh of course if you have somewhere else to go it’s okay to stay there. “Is there a place to be?”
“Not at all.”
“Then you will stay with me.”
“I’m grateful… but I feel like I’m causing too much trouble…”
“It’s a shame. You are my lifesaver. “Doing something like that for a benefactor is nothing.”
Jin Gwa-wol planned to keep Yeon Jeok-ha by his side and watch over him for the time being.
If only his head had been intact he would have been accepted as a member of the family but it was too much for now.
While Jin Guawol was lost in thought Yeon Jeok-ha’s voice sounded in his ears.
“By the way Mr. Vice President.”
“Why but?”
“Who is the emperor now?”
Jin Gwa-wol who was looking at Yeon Jeok-ha with an ‘awkward’ expression soon relaxed his expression.
He thought that Yeonjeokha had once again fallen into his own world.
“There has been no emperor in China since Puyi the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty.”
“Has the Qing Dynasty fallen?”
“It’s been a long time since I ruined it. “Because it went bankrupt in 1912.”
“….”
Yeon Jeok-ha was surprised but did not show it.
I knew that the Ming Dynasty was eaten by the Qing Dynasty.
The world was in an uproar for a while with the rumor that ‘Jeongjeong committed suicide by hanging himself in Gyeongsan.’
But the Qing Dynasty fell!
“Then what is the name of the country now?”
“People’s Republic of China. “It’s called China for short.”
“But if there is no emperor… how do you determine the standard for counting days?”
“Hehehe! Of course it is based on the solar calendar. One year is when the Earth revolves around the sun. “There are 365 days in a year.”
“So what year and day is it now according to the solar calendar?”
“today? “It’s February 14 2034.”
“….”
I was unfamiliar with the solar calendar so I just blinked for a while.
“Well then what happens if we change the ‘17th year of King Seongjeong’ to the solar calendar?”
“Sungjeong? “What is that?”
“The last emperor of the Ming Dynasty was Emperor Chongzheng right? “I’m talking about the 17 years of Sungjeong.”
“I don’t know about that. “If I remember correctly the Ming Dynasty fell in 1644.”
As a mid-level manager of the Triad Jin and Yue did not forget the date of the fall of the Ming Dynasty.
This is because the roots of the Triad Association are Cheonjihoe which raised the banner of anti-Qing bokmyeong.
“ah….”
For a moment Yeon Jeok-ha’s eyes shook.
If what Jin and Yue said is true 390 years had passed.
“Why but?”
“no. “I feel like time goes by so quickly.”
“It’s fast. “It feels like I was a teenager just yesterday… I already have a grown daughter.”
“You have a daughter.”
A sad smile appeared on Yeon Jeok-ha’s face as he remembered his daughter who chose to die naturally.
Jin Gwa-wol who misunderstood that smile said something.
“Don’t even dream of doing anything with my daughter. If you approach it clumsily you will only end up getting hurt. It’s pretty but its dimensional power is so high that many people have been injured while fighting. “You don’t have dimensional power so don’t go near it.”
“You don’t have to worry about that. “Because I have high eyesight most women don’t even look like women.”
Hearing those words Jin and Yue were secretly in a bad mood.
Don’t worry because you have a high opinion of what will happen if you simply say ‘I understand’…
“I’m not saying this because she’s my daughter but because she’s really pretty.”
“haha. I understand that feeling. “Even hedgehogs say their babies are pretty.”
“….”
Jin and Yue were moved to tears by Yeon Jeok-he who did not give them a single word but tried to suppress their emotions.
Having to wrestle with her daughter with someone who had something wrong with her head was only a loss for her.
Meanwhile the day slowly dawned.
A heavy sigh flowed from Jin and Wol’s mouth as they suddenly remembered the Jangnak room.
‘ha!’
Since he had failed in the assassination he was going to attack Hongryeon Sanghoe in earnest but there was no suitable countermeasure.
“And then the floor will collapse?”
Jin and Wol laughed bitterly at Yeon Jeok-ha’s joke about living in a different world.
“I hope you don’t have any worries.”
“What kind of sad words… I know I have a lot of concerns.”
Yeon Je-he looked at Jin and Yue with eyes of injustice.
No matter how much she worries is she confident that she has crossed 390 years of time?
