959 times. The mind seems to age too.
End of July.
Hefei.
Yeo Kang-Hyeon Seogyeongjang.
Namjikryeseong was noisy due to the war between the Nammaeng and the Hocheonmaeng, but recently, the name that has been on the lips of the family members of the Seokgyeongjang was the god of the clear stream.
Thirty-five days after the god of cheongryu entered Seokgyeongjang.
A middle-aged beautiful woman, she now looked like Sim Tong and Dan Yun Mang’s little sister.
It is said that she became an old woman.
Mibu, who is in her thirties or forties, turns into an old woman in a month, so it is impossible not to attract attention.
Behind the scenes, the workers whispered, “It was because the god of the clear stream was cursed.”
However, rumors about the god of clean streams did not cross the walls of the Seokgyeongjang.
It is because there is no one to interact with.
The people of Yeogang County were also afraid of the stone sutras and did not come close to them, so there was no need to call them rumors.
When Cheongryu-sin grew old, Namgung-yeon ordered her to take a break from household chores.
From then on, the god of cheongryu got along with Dangunmang and Simtong.
around noon.
Audience.
Two old men were drinking tea overlooking the yard.
It is heartache and clear stream.
Cheongryushin, who was chatting, suddenly spoke.
“The house is deserted because I can’t hear Jian and Wol-ah and Geum-a playing.”
“Those kids were a bit noisy.”
“That is how people live. Where did you go?”
“It was market day, so I went out with Mr. and Mrs. Confucius.”
“Whoops! But why does Shim Dae-hyeop call Jang-ju-nim Gongja-nim?”
“It sticks to your mouth.”
He stroked his goatee with an embarrassed face.
In fact, it’s not just about sticking to your mouth.
He did not give up the sound of ‘Confucius’ for the sake of discrimination with Dan Yun-mang, who called him ‘Jangju’.
“Jangju-nim must be strange, but he doesn’t seem to be saying anything. It’s fun to see Shim Dae-hyeop and Jang-joo.”
“We are inherently fun people.”
“Hohohoho!”
It was hard to laugh, but the upper body of the cheongryu god moved.
A bitter smile appeared on the face of the cheongryusin who calmed down belatedly.
Now, it has become difficult for me to even laugh to my heart’s content.
I looked at such a clear stream god with pitying eyes.
A moment of silence passed between the two.
Suddenly, the cheongryu god opened his mouth.
“They say the heart never ages, right?”
“yes.”
“I don’t think so.”
“….”
Heartache looked at the god of the clear stream with curious eyes.
Looking at her beautifully aged, I feel like something is caught in my stomach.
It was heartbreaking, just like when I saw a pretty girl my age holding hands with her parents when she was a child wandering the streets.
Even if you think about it again, the mind does not age.
It is unmistakable to see that the emotions of those days are so vivid even when they are all old.
The god of the blue sky muttered to himself like he was talking to himself.
“These days, if I fall asleep, I’m a little worried that I won’t be able to wake up. When I see things like that, I think my mind is also getting older. You don’t think like that when you’re young.”
“Regardless of how young or old you are, it is called Giwoo (紀®). It’s because you’re stupid, not because you’re old.”
In response to Shim Tong’s blunt words, the god of the clear stream shouted again, ‘Knock!’ laughed
“Sim Daehyup is really fun. You were popular even when you were young, right?”
“No. Now, when you go to Giru, women stick to you, but when you were young, there was no money, so even gisaengs didn’t come next to you.”
“No… Women like funny guys…”
“Hey! That is the sound of a dog eating grass. Whether you are a man or a woman, you need to support your face to be popular. You’re a good person… no.”
Heartache stopped talking and shook his head.
It’s because I can’t remember the face of the original cheongryu god, not the mother of the eight emperors.
Then, the blue god pursed his lips and grunted.
“Sheesh! My original face is like this now, right?”
“Oh is that so? Then there must have been a lot of men who liked you too. That is the way of the world.”
“I didn’t know that because I lived in the mountains with my mother-in-law.”
“Oh no!”
The corners of her mouth moved upward as she matched the rhythm.
“Why do you like it so much?”
As my heartache faltered, someone came across the yard with a package in his hand.
It was a lucky net.
Sim Tong quickly changed the topic to Dan Yun Mang.
“Dang go. What is the ghost of the Yakdang doing at this hour?”
“I’m not here to see you, so stop worrying.”
Dan Yun-mang, dismissing Sim-tong’s words, came up to the guest room and abruptly held out the package he was holding to the god of the clear stream.
“Take it.”
“what is this?”
“Bosindan is the secret drug of the party. As the name suggests, it is good medicine for the body, so take one in the morning and evening.”
“oh! thank you. But isn’t that too much?”
He had only fourteen days left, but the package was heavy.
“Since it’s 15 days old, it should fit.”
“Ah….”
The atmosphere in the auditorium subsided for an instant.
The pain in her stomach after seeing the bodyguards made her angry, thinking ‘this is the time’.
“Ah! You stupid old man! They told me to give them a bottle and give them medicine. Why do you say such a thing because you have nothing to say?”
“No, I’m just… I’m busy, so I have to go first.”
Tang Yun-mang, who was scratching his head, quietly turned around.
Then, the cheongryu god said with a nonchalant face.
“Thank you for the party. I won’t forget and I’ll take good care of it.”
“Yeah, if you ever find yourself in a bad place, come to the pharmacy right away.”
Tang Yun-mang left without looking back.
When he disappeared, the deity of Qing Liu shouted bitterly at Shen Tong.
“No, why are you blaming the Dang Daehyeop? He is the one who even made precious medicine for me.”
“Because Danga is too cubic…”
“I am grateful for your heart for me, but please stay close to Dang Daehyeop. If Shim Daehyeop gets sick, he should get help from the Dang Daehyeop.”
“Shit…”
Heartache didn’t object.
It’s not that I’m wrong, it’s because I don’t want to quarrel with Shin Ryu.
In the meantime, the god of cheongryu who opened the package took half of the boshindan from the wooden box and pushed the other half to the front of the chest.
“Eat this Simdaehyeop.”
“no. You should eat more than me.”
Heartache waved his hand as if it was nonsense and refused.
No matter how shameless you are, how could you steal her medicine!
However, even the god of cheongryu did not break his stubbornness.
“Regardless of my health, I die in 14 days. To be honest, it doesn’t mean anything to me. If I think it’s really necessary, I’ll ask the Dangdaehyeop to make a little more. Shim Dae-hyeop also has to think about his body now. Please accept it as if you were granting my last wish.”
Having said that, Simtong reluctantly took the Boshindan in his arms.
The two continued to chat until it was time for lunch.

Yeo Kang-hyeon.
marketplace.
It was market day, so the streets were full of people.
Under the escort of Wol-a and Geum-a, Jian wandered around the marketplace.
Yeon Jeok-ha and Namgung-yeon followed him like shadows.
When it was time for lunch, I called in Jian, who had a relationship, and went to a nearby restaurant with my family.
After a while, when the food they ordered came out, Wol-a and Geum-ah volunteered to feed Jian.
Namgoongyeon asked Yeonjeokha as he watched Jian eat with a hearty smile.
“What kind of wind blew and followed you to the marketplace?”
I didn’t even go near the marketplace where I usually do business.
But today, I can’t help but wonder that Jian follows wherever he wants to go.
“why? Are you uncomfortable walking around with me?”
“No way. It’s because you’re doing something you wouldn’t do.”
“It’s just nice to think that we will all become memories later.”
“Looking at you saying that, do you think you’re getting older too?”
“Is that a compliment for growing up?”
“It could be.”
Namgung-yeon spread several pieces of meat on the bowl of Yeonjeokha and put them on top.
It is time for the family of the younger brother to have a good time.
A group of people rushed past on the road in front of the restaurant.
Seeing the club and the esophagus in their hands, the younger enemy muttered involuntarily.
“It’s brutal.”
Just then, a middle-aged man sitting next to him said to the party.
“Today, Yang Eun-joo’s Yang family has caught me. You got me.”
“What day?”
“There’s always been friction with Jipyong stock over the liquor trade.”
“ah! Even Jipyongju wouldn’t be an easy opponent.”
“Still, if Jipyongju didn’t prepare, he would be in trouble today?”
“I know. Would that amount of people just wipe them out?”
Contrary to what they said, after about 15 minutes, the people of Yang Eun-joo fell all the way back.
Then came a flood of people carrying sticks and escutcheons as well as hatchets from the other side.
Anyone can see that Yang Eun-joo’s gang is being pushed back.
As Yang Eun-joo, who was retreating, was supported by the gang, the situation boiled over again.
The two sides, who had a brief confrontation, began pouring swear words at each other before a full-scale fight.
“Hey! Dog…”
“Your mother…”
The curse that started with the dog reached to the elders in the family.
Ji-an, who was looking out the window with a chicken leg in her mouth, asked Wol-a.
“What is Emmy?”
“Jiang. It’s bad, so don’t listen.”
Along with the words, Wolah covered Jian’s ears with both hands.
Yeon Jeok-ha, who was worse off, stuck his head out the window and said a word.
“hey! Brothers! There are also young children here, so don’t you refrain from swearing?”
The gazes of the men who were confronting each other were directed at Yeonjeokha.
One of Yang Eun-joo’s men shouted.
“Hey! You fucking bastard! Before you rip off the snout… evil!”
The man stopped talking and fell backwards with a scream.
Soon after, the man got up again and dug something out of his mouth.
Broken teeth and chicken bones came out.
The man who saw this just blinked his eyes with a stunned face.
Hurt people by throwing chicken bones from such a long distance?
That means that the opponent is a master of Murim.
The fight between Yang Eun-joo and Jipyeong-ju naturally fell into a lull.
Eventually, a person from Jipyeongju cautiously approached the window.
“Sorry for the uproar. I am the preface of Jipyongju. Where are you from?”
“I don’t know who I am. If you want to curse, go somewhere else and fight. What will growing children learn from watching?”
It was quite an arrogant attitude, but Seo Mun-jin did not take it as a dispute.
“Yes, I will be careful.”
He didn’t ask for more, and Jipyongju returned to the people.
“Who are you?”
Ji Pyong-ju asked one person, and Seo Mun-jin said with a firm face.
“I didn’t say who it was… but I think I know who it is.”
“Who are you?”
“Beside him sat a beautiful woman of the color of Gyeonggi-do. She was the first beauty I had ever seen with hair. It must be 10 times.”
“omg! Namcheon Daehyup?”
Seo Mun-jin left behind the fuss and Yang Eun-ju approached the people.
Yang Eun-joo’s Yangakso looked up and down at Seomunjin with friendly eyes.
“Do you want to say something all of a sudden, raising your head?”
“Sheep-ox. Let’s stop. It seems that today is not the day.”
“why? scared? Kneel if you’re scared! You bastard!”
As Yangakso blinked his eyes, Seomunjin gritted his teeth and spoke quietly.
“You crazy bastard. There are Namcheon Daehyeop and others at the restaurant. The man who broke your subordinate’s teeth was Namcheon Daehyeop.”
“Is that for real?”
Yangakso looked at the restaurant and Seomunjin in surprise.
He was dubious, but didn’t have the courage to go to the restaurant to check.
Yangakso, who was hesitant, silently cursed at Seomunjin and turned around.
Yang Eun-joo and Jipyeong-ju, who seemed like they would fight at any moment, split into left and right sides and disappeared.
When the streets were empty, Jian turned his attention back to food.
The meal, which had been paused for a while, resumed.
Yeon Jeok-ha muttered as he watched Jian quietly eat.
“I feel once again that my thoughts were short.”
“What are you talking about?”
“People live fighting like that all the time… I made a real fuss about trying to stop that. Because of that, I became distant from my father-in-law and older brother.”
Namjoon didn’t say anything.
To be honest, I couldn’t figure out how smart she was now.
Was it because of his inexperience or because of bad luck?
