Episode 568. Would you like to try fishing for free?
To Yang Su-yeon, a mountain cat was not a beast.
Rather than a beast, it was more like a guardian deity of the village.
So, when the village elders performed ancestral rites to the mountain tomb, they were always present.
I have even seen the tomb in person.
Perhaps because of her relationship with her great-great-grandmother, she wasn’t too afraid to see a mountain grave.
Sanmyo hovered around the village in winter.
I don’t know if it’s to find food or to protect the village from other beasts.
Anyway, when a mountain tomb appeared, the village elders gave food as a sacrifice.
After the Sanmyo had eaten their fill, they went around the village and chased away the other beasts.
Occasionally, vigilantes helped the mountain tomb when a wild beast appeared that the mountain tomb could not handle.
In this way, for the past two hundred years, the people of Sanmyo and Sanmyo Village have lived in a ‘symbiotic relationship’.
If the wanderers hadn’t made strange noises about the soyo bell, the mountain tomb and mountain cemetery would have been safe.
A participant in ‘Biseunggwahae’ said, ‘The people of Sanmyo Village worship Sanmyo,’ and everything disappeared.
The mountain grave died and the village was also devastated by the beast’s teeth.
It seems that the voice was raised in the process of explaining the circumstances. Someone from the back seat shouted.
“So, ‘Soyojong’ and ‘Biseunggwahae’ participants did something wrong?”
Yang Su-yeon hurriedly turned her head with a surprised face.
Among the four guests, only one was staring at me with sharp eyes.
The twisted expression on his face made it sound like what he said.
“I didn’t mean it that way… I’m sorry that Sanmyo died because of a misunderstanding…”
Then, Jang Jian, the man, continued to accept Yang Su-yeon’s excuses.
“Soyojong misunderstood and killed the mountain tomb? Are you saying Soyojong was wrong until the end?”
“No, I didn’t mean it that way.”
Yang Su-yeon shook her head urgently, but Zhang Jian did not accept.
“No what. Having said that so far. I’m not the only one who heard it. Didn’t you guys hear that too?”
Jang Ji-an gave Yeon Jeok-ha and Gong Ji-yu a chin.
Gong Ji-yu pretended not to hear because he felt sorry for the cornered clerk.
Then, Zhang Jian’s lips twisted.
“Whoops! Is it the same woman? How about the small ones? Didn’t you hear the clerk blaming the mini-drawer? From what I can see, they seem to be outsiders like us.”
Yeonjeokha replied with a sullen face.
“Excellent! Who do you think is to blame? If you’re not a lady, let’s stop biting and hanging out. I can complain a little about my regrets. I don’t know why you’re so anxious to get into a fight. Did you have a small servant in your family?”
The complexion of Zhang Jian and his companions hardened at Yan Jeokhe’s words.
In fact, the female clerk’s job is not a big deal.
However, it was a felony for an ordinary person to talk about Soyojong’s engagement in such a way.
“I am Zhang Jian, the third son of the county governor of Chushan County. Who are you who dares to mention the name of the servant of Soyo, who is like the sky?”
“You know what?”
“I, as one of the participants in ‘Undead’, cannot let go of your disquieting conversation. Please tell me where you are and who you are.”
When Zhang Jian rose from his seat, his escorts also stood up in perfect order.
As the four young men stared at it, an immediate atmosphere was formed.
However, there must be someone who accepts the fight to become a sacrament.
He shook his head vigorously like a young child.
“Nope? why me? Does anyone have to answer your question? Is there such a law?”
Feeling ridiculed, Zhang Jian reached for the handle of the knife.
In an instant, Yeonjeokha spoke in a cold voice.
“I said ‘It’s a non-seung’, but it’s a child. If I pull out the knife, I just can’t get over it. think carefully.”
Zhang Jian was awakened by the warning from Yeonjeokha.
Did you try to draw a sword in a foreign land without any certainty of victory? I almost did something stupid.
He turned his gaze to the escorts.
The escorts shook their heads slightly, as if telling them to stop.
It means that there is a corner to believe that you are so calm in front of many enemies.
It doesn’t matter whether it’s skill or background.
If you do it because you deserve it, it is the wisdom of survival to ignore it.
Jiang Jian gnashed his teeth and slowly lowered his hand.
However, when he tried to lower his tail like this, his tantrum grew.
“If you don’t mind thinking of me as a small person who can’t reveal your name, do so.”
It was just a thrown word.
There’s no way anyone with a mind would fall for such a childish provocation.
But did it work?
“what? small fry? wow! They say that when a tiger goes down a mountain, it gets bitten by a mutt. Do you think I’m going to hear all the little people’s sounds here? Then no. Mr. Zhang there. You asked what my name was? I’m the long-liver of the Seokgyeongjang. Are you done now?”
Jiang Jian looked at Yeon Jeokha with an absurd face.
I didn’t know that I would reveal my identity like this with just the sound of ‘small man’.
“Did you tell me to marry you? As I said, I’m a contestant in ‘Unsuccessful Sea’. It is a rule to report to the sect related to the sect. I don’t feel sorry for you, but I’ll report your work to the bell.”
Half blackmail, half sincere.
If he apologized a hundred times, he could have been generous and pretended not to hear.
However, the opponent’s reaction exceeded expectations.
“If you want to tell me, tell me. Behind the scenes, he also cursed at Nara, but what a big deal. By the way, I’m also on my way to participate in ‘Biseungwahae’. Let’s go to the end to see who did well.”
“Who is Nara?”
Hearing it for the first time, Jiang Jian frowned.
Who is Nara, so it’s okay to curse at me behind my back?
I put the person closest to Nara-sama in the old age of marriage.
“Who is who? Seongju is Nara.”
“joy! Comparing Seongju to Soyojong’s servants? Are you out of your mind?”
“I mean, for example. For example. The young man can’t understand what he’s saying.”
When Yeon Jeok-ha came out in a red and white dress, Jang Jian cut off word by word.
“It’s not me who can’t understand the language, it’s the small one. It’s good that you’re going to the fire umbrella too. Let’s see who’s right.”
“Either way.”
I accepted it without losing even if it was a rivalry.
Yang Soo-yeon secretly avoided her seat as an excuse to order food when sparks flew at Yeon Jeok-ha.
Perhaps it was because everyone was aiming for ‘non-seung and sea’, the dispute ended in disarray.
In fact, it was correct to say that it was over because Jian Zhang couldn’t hold on anymore.
Zhang Jian didn’t want to fight for a long time with the people who participated in the ‘Unsuccessful Sea’.
It’s like going to the fire umbrella because of an uncomfortable relationship, and if a fight breaks out in the fire umbrella, that’s because it’s a headache.
‘If I tip off to Joo Chun-bi, he’ll take care of it.’
Zhu Cheonbi is a disciple of Soyojong from Chusan County.
When he broke through the realm of Wonyoung a hundred years ago, his great-grandfather, who was the county governor at the time, spared no support. After that, he became a strong supporter of the Jang family.
If it were him, he would take care of the reckless remarks about his subordinates.
***
If you try to avoid it, there is someone you keep meeting.
Yeon Jeok-ha and Jang Jian were like that.
The two parted at a restaurant, but met again at an inn near sunset.
Since there is only one inn in Sanmyochon, this can be done.
next day.
Jang Jian and his party left the inn early in the morning, conscious of the enemy enemy.
And around lunchtime they finally reached Biseungpo.
There were dozens of ships anchored in Biseungpo, which developed along Muryangha.
Zhang Jian was looking for a ship to cross the river as soon as possible, hoping to meet Yeonjeokhe.
The ten-chong (about 30 meters) long boat departing after half an hour (1 hour) was the fastest.
Although he was reluctant because of the small size, Zhang Jian bought a ticket for the ship.
There were five ten-chong-long ships, so he thought that he would never meet Yeon Jeok-ha.
Zhang Jian and the escorts spent time on the riverbank before embarking.
But what is this?
When we boarded, Yeonjeokha and his party occupied a seat with a good view.
Zhang Jian felt uncomfortable meeting him face to face, so he went into the cabin and did not move.
It takes about an hour (two hours) to cross the Muryang River.
If the deck was reserved for the so-called talented people, the cabin was occupied by gossipers.
“Wow!”
The man next to Jian Zhang vomited from motion sickness.
The people in the cabin seemed to think so, but Zhang Jian was different.
The sour smell made him sick, and he went out onto the deck as if to run away.
It feels like the cool river breeze cleans the lungs.
At this moment, even the younger brother didn’t come to mind.
Seeing how cool it is on all sides, I feel like I was stuck in the cabin for no reason.
It is when he is gazing at the river with a proud face.
A sailor passing by casually approached and started talking.
“Would you like to go fishing if you are free?”
“Can I go fishing?”
“It is not difficult when the current is calm like today. Look at them.”
A sailor pointed at the men squatting on either side of the boat and fishing.
“These are the people who are aiming for goldfish under Muryangha. Even if only one goldfish is left, the seller changes.”
“Goldfish?”
“Yes, it is a precious commodity that cannot be exchanged for even ten pieces of gold. Isn’t that good for a man’s body?”
Zhang Jian’s ears perked up.
Rather than saying ten gold coins, the sound of ‘that’s so good for a man’s body’ was stronger.
“How can I do without a fishing rod?”
Then, as if the sailor had been waiting, he pointed to a fishing rod that was quietly placed in one corner.
“If you pay fifty bucks, you can use it until you get off the ship. You can use the dried fish in the barrel next to the fishing rod as bait.”
“omg! Fifty pennies?”
Jiang Jian frowned.
A cup of tea at a teahouse costs twenty pennies.
By the way, renting a fishing rod for just one hour costs two and a half cups of tea?
There is no such thing as profiteering.
The sailor smiled and said.
“Instead, isn’t there a big room here? Goldfish is worth 10 gold coins. Of course, people like small cooperatives would just eat it right away.”
Jang Jian nodded to escort Han Do-gyeong.
Han Do-gyeong took out fifty pennies from her bosom and handed it to the sailor.
After taking fifty pennies, the sailor handed over a fishing rod made of black porridge to Zhang Jian.
“Catch one with a small bully and make your wish come true.”
After he smirked, he walked away with a swaying step.
Watching the sailor’s steps, Zhang Jian murmured.
“I don’t know if this has fallen into some kind of twist. Did you lose fifty bucks in the blink of an eye?”
Then, Do-kyung Han said encouragingly.
“Princess Sam, now that this has happened, catch a gold eel. If it’s Gongja-nim’s skills, there won’t be any problem.”
“Wouldn’t that be better? I only need to catch four. Now that we’re here, let’s try eating one at a time.”
Zhang Jian said enthusiastically and took a seat in the boat.
The three escorts stood on his left and right, watching the river through the eyes of a tiger.
It is to keep an eye on things like ‘Gashimuchi’ or ‘Cheolsuhoeo’.
Gong Ji-yu approached Yeonjeok-ha, who was sitting on the bow and enjoying the river breeze.
“Yeon Daehyeop. I don’t know if he’ll be okay.”
“Who? Oh, Mr. Jang?”
“I saw in the past that ‘Kashimuchi’ jumped up to the boat and bit people.”
Gong Ji-yu, who has a long history, quickly realized what he was concerned about.
I vividly recalled what happened on the way back to Hyeoncheonmun from the Cheongwan Mountain Range last year.
“Wouldn’t the sailors do it?”
“I don’t think it’s because you haven’t had any income in the meantime, so it seems like you’re lending me a fishing rod.”
“They are buying it fiercely.”
To Yeon Jeok-ha, a native of Green Forest, the crew’s deviation seemed fierce.
“It’s not fierce, it’s bad. People could die because of that. How hungry the beasts are in the spring.”
