Episode 887 We’ll see you again soon. (2)
The situation that unfolded like a lightning bolt, the process of resolving it was also like a lightning bolt.
The disciples of Hwasan, who had completely destroyed the martial arts of the surrendered or injured Safa people, imprisoned them in a warehouse at the top of the galaxy.
They had the opportunity to enter a warehouse full of the wealth they so desperately wanted, but it was unclear whether they would be happy about it.
Naturally, the first priority given to the volcano was the treatment of the injured and the recovery of the bodies.
“How is it?”
“…Fortunately or unfortunately, I don’t think there will be any more deaths.”
“yes?”
Since the number of patients could not be treated in one medical room, Hyeonyoung turned an entire building at the top of the galaxy into a medical room and gathered doctors from Xi’an.
Hyeonyoung asked with a puzzled look upon hearing what Rep. Roh, their representative, said.
“Then what is fortunate or unfortunate?”
“…That…”
The congressman glanced at Hyeonyoung and cautiously opened his mouth.
“For people with injuries as severe as mine, the treatment period takes a very long time. “Even if I can’t do it, I have to lie still and receive treatment for at least three months.”
“So?”
“Even if you wake up, you won’t be able to use your body like before.”
“iced coffee.”
Hyeonyoung nodded widely as if she understood what the congressman was trying to say.
“Don’t worry about that.”
“Well… as you know, you need to use expensive medicine to treat such serious wounds. No matter how sparingly you spend it…”
“Don’t worry, Senator.”
Hyeonyoung firmly waved her hand.
He may be trying to say that the price of such expensive medicine cannot be afforded by ordinary people’s income. Of course, you can’t help but feel anxious while undergoing treatment. They must have gathered all the medicines available at the doctor’s store, but they might not even be able to get the proper price for the medicines.
“The volcano will pay all medical expenses for those injured here.”
“Is that really true?”
“yes.”
Hyeonyoung nodded as if it was obvious.
“If you will do that….”
This has already been agreed upon with King Hyeonjong.
In fact, there is no reason why Hwasan should pay for their treatment. In the first place, they were not the ones targeting the volcano, but the West Bank. Regardless of whether there was a volcano or not, their demonic forces would have attacked Xi’an.
However, trivial reasons and profit and loss issues should not be involved in such matters.
– If we only follow reason, they will do the same to us. A relationship where both sides reason with each other isn’t a bad thing, but that’s not the kind of relationship I want.
That was correct.
This must be even more correct, as I also confirmed that a guy whose eyes roll when the topic of money is mentioned silently nods his head.
“We also do not want to charge expensive treatment fees to those who have fought against evil spirits. However, if you use the medicine sparingly and do not perform the procedure properly, there may be many aftereffects.”
“Don’t worry about money, just treat me as best as I can.”
Hyeonyoung looked around at the injured people lying on the white cloth.
“These are people who showed courage. “Those people should not be denied the treatment they deserve.”
An exclamation flowed from Rep. Roh’s mouth.
It is not that difficult to applaud those who show courage. But giving up my wealth for them was not something I could easily do.
In particular, isn’t the volcano in a situation where it doesn’t have to take responsibility for this matter to this extent?
I thought they would show off by providing a location at best, but I was amazed to see something so unconventional.
“Then I will do so.”
“Thank you, Senator. “Our medical center will do our best to help.”
“yes. It’s a big help….”
Phew!
“Aaaaaaaaaaaah!”
“Oh, why is this harsh! “Our brothers don’t even moan even when stabbed with needles bigger than this one!”
“So Sojeo… it hurts so much…”
“It’s noisy. Turn this way… Huh? Yes? Isn’t it here? Uh… I’m a little confused since it’s been such a long time…”
A sound that made my hair go cold just by hearing it came out calmly.
“Well, it doesn’t really matter. “I’ll put it back in.”
“Save me…”
Pugh!
“Aaaaaaaaaaaah!”
The foot of the person stuck with the needle stretched out toward the ceiling. Hyeonyoung and the lawmaker, who had been staring blankly at the trembling toes, turned their heads in silence.
“Uh…”
Hyeonyoung, who was about to say something, put her fist to her mouth and cleared her throat loudly.
“…Please be kind to me.”
“Yes… Elder.”
It was a conversation that started warmly but ended awkwardly.
“Have you recovered all the disciples’ bodies?”
“Yes, father.”
Wiripsan remained silent for a moment and then nodded heavily.
Considering the fierce battle they fought, it cannot be said that there were actually many casualties. It was a harsh battle, so it wouldn’t be surprising even if we were wiped out.
However, as the leader of one sect, we cannot be happy about the small number of casualties.
“…I’m ashamed that I survived.”
“Don’t say that, father. “Everyone in the community saw my father fight more fiercely than anyone else as the lord of the clan.”
This wasn’t just something I said to comfort Wiripsan.
Wei Xiaoheng really thought so. To the point where I couldn’t be prouder of being Wiripsan’s son.
And as far as he knew, the disciples of Hwayeongmun were not much different from Wei Shahaeng in their minds.
At least in this battle, Wiripsan proved that he does not simply lead the sect with a volcanic halo. All of his disciples would have known that he was not only gentle and calm, but also possessed the courage of a warrior.
“What did you decide to do with the body?”
“Shouldn’t we send it back to our hometown?”
“…okay.”
Most of the other sects who made sacrifices were from Xi’an, but the hometown of Hwayeong sects who moved from far away was Namyang. At least we should let them rest in their hometown.
“I guess I’ll have to go myself.”
“father. Your body is not healthy. “I will go instead.”
“no.”
Despite Wei Shao-haeng’s dissuasion, Wi Lip-san resolutely shook his head.
“This is what I have to do as the owner of Hwayeongmun.”
“Father…”
Wei Lipsan smiled slightly.
“Don’t look at me like that. It’s sad and unfortunate. It’s heartbreaking. But you should be proud of your brothers. “Wasn’t he more just than anyone else?”
“yes. “I will never forget that last moment.”
As a determined light appeared in Wei Shaoheng’s eyes, Wei Lipsan lightly nodded.
Wounds make people stronger.
It’s heartbreaking, but this will make Hwayoungmoon’s disciples even more uninhabited. That was the only comfort.
“Then we should hurry. “It’s a long way.”
“Oh no.”
“hmm? Before the body gets damaged…”
“Hwasan Jangmun-in decided to save the ice crystal. “He told me to wait because it would take a day or two.”
“…Ice crystals?”
Wei Lipsan bit his lower lip slightly.
That they would use that precious ice crystal to protect the body… This was a measure that was enough to surprise even Wiripsan, who was well aware of King Hyeonjong’s temperament.
“If there are ice crystals, the body will not be damaged. Of course, it is true that we have to go at least a day early, but it takes about two days to get the ice crystals, so it is better to take a little rest…”
Wei Lipsan quietly closed his eyes.
If there are ice crystals in a volcano, it can’t take two days, and if there are no ice crystals and you have to save them, there’s no way they can be saved in two days. This must have been consideration of King Hyeonjong, who was worried that Wiripsan would leave without taking care of himself.
“…Let’s do that.”
“Yes, father.”
Wiripsan gave a quick look and said.
“Good luck.”
“yes.”
“Have you met the Cheongmyeong seal?”
“….”
Wei Xiaoheng quietly shook his head. Wei Lipsan smiled faintly.
“It’s sad, but this is also something that anyone living in a samurai family must experience.”
“Yes, I know.”
“So there is no need to suppress it.”
“….”
“It is my command as the lord of the clan, so go and express your gratitude to the disciples of the Cheongmyeong dojo and the main temple.”
“But…”
“That is also your duty as a small business owner.”
Wei Xiaohang nodded as if there was nothing he could do.
“yes. “I will.”
“okay. “Please come back quickly.”
“yes.”
Wei Xiaoheng carefully got up, bowed his head, and left the room. Then, at a slow pace, we left Hwayeongmun and headed towards the top of the galaxy where the volcano resides.
Crack. Crack!
The walking, which was slow at first, soon became faster and faster, and eventually turned into a fast trot.
‘Cheongmyeong Dojo!’
After Cheongmyeong saved him, he couldn’t even properly say thank you. Because it wasn’t a good situation.
‘I need to say thank you.’
As a small master, it is a big task to sort out the affairs of the clan, but it is also natural for a human being to express gratitude to the savior of his life.
He increased his speed to the point where he was out of breath and ran straight to the top of the galaxy.
But…
Wei Shao-hang, who was about to reach the top of the galaxy, became slower and slower.
Then it soon stopped.
A strange expression appeared on his face along with hesitation.
In the past, I would have jumped to the top of the galaxy and ran straight to where Cheongmyeong was, but strangely enough, my feet felt heavy now.
‘Why?’
Wei Shaoheng tilted his head because he couldn’t understand the change.
But anyway, I had to say thank you, so I entered the top of the galaxy. But no matter how much I looked, I couldn’t see any of Hwasan’s disciples.
“excuse me.”
“yes?”
Wi Shao-haeng, who spoke to a passing worker, asked with a somewhat stern expression.
“Where are the volcano people now?”
“You will be in the restaurant. Because it’s time to eat. “That’s the big pavilion you see over there.”
“Oh, thank you.”
Wei Shaoheng bowed his head and slowly walked towards the restaurant. But an inexplicable feeling of discomfort kept clinging to his ankles.
As I almost reached the restaurant, I saw a familiar face. The hesitation and inability to go inside is similar to that of Wei Sohaeng…
“Lord Bunta?”
“Yes? Please spread the word.”
Hong Dae-kwang looked at the false action and nodded slightly in confusion.
“What are you doing here?”
Wi Shao-haeng forced himself to swallow the words, ‘like a dog that wants to poop,’ that were about to come out after him. Then Hong Dae-gwang sighed.
“Hwasan God Dragon… No, I came because I had something to say to the Hwasan Sword Association.”
“yes.”
“I… should I say something is a bit uncomfortable?”
Wei Xiaoheng opened his eyes wide.
“I know that the volcano has become stronger, but… I am really proud of that. “Somehow, the appearance of the volcano I saw this time was so different from what I knew that I thought…”
Listening to Hong Dae-gwang’s continued words, Wi So-haeng was finally able to understand the identity of the discomfort he had felt on the way.
‘It feels far away.’
For no reason, I was afraid of what would happen if I faced them and they were not like the people of the past.
I thought it was a foolish worry, but seeing as not only Wei So-haeng but also Hong Dae-gwang felt the same thing, it seems that the appearance of Hwasan was that unfamiliar.
“…Shouldn’t we still go in?”
“Okay.”
Hong Dae-gwang made a groaning sound.
If I was alone, I couldn’t worry all the time about the false accusation.
“Let’s go in.”
If the spy had not come, I would have put my ear to the palace and listened to what was being said inside, but now that things have come to this, I have no choice but to invade.
Hong Dae-gwang, trying hard to feign calmness, opened the door to the palace at once.
“Hey, volcano sword…”
Hong Dae-gwang’s mouth, which was about to joke, quietly closed.
As soon as the door was opened, everyone inside turned to look at him in silence.
No, it was clearly like that before he even came in.
‘This…’
It wasn’t the noisy volcano he knew. The faces of everyone looking this way were frozen.
This is something that was not seen in the Hwasan faction of the past, which always welcomed foreigners warmly.
Hong Dae-gwang was about to let out a groan as he realized once again that his guess was correct.
“Noeeee!”
‘huh?’
A familiar figure in front of me jumped up and screamed.
“What! What kind of people are you, bastards? rice!”
“…How many times have I told you this? And then you starve to death?”
“Whether I starve or boil it, it’s none of my business! Anyway, I’m full of these! Do you know how many people in the countryside still can’t eat even one meal a day? But what? rice? Baaaaap? Are you going to feed those people who wouldn’t mind drinking the ground coffee? If I have food to give to those pups, I’ll feed them to the neighborhood dogs! “A dog!”
“No… Are you really saying I’m going to die? “Are you really saying you’re going to die?”
“ah? iced coffee!”
Cheongmyeong clapped his hands loudly.
“I understand what you mean.”
“huh?”
Baekcheon, who had been persuading with a tired face the whole time, felt ominous for a moment and looked at Cheongmyeong.
Cheongmyeong asked with a refreshed face.
“So you’re worried about dying?”
“That’s right. Even though they are Sapa bastards, starving them to death is….”
“Then we can just kill them in advance so they don’t starve to death.”
“…uh?”
“If I go now and cut off everyone’s throats, everything will be resolved?!” hang on! “I’ll come and make it so you don’t have to eat food forever!”
“catch!”
“Catch that bastard!”
“Ah-oh! Damn it, please, let’s eat quietly! “You damn bastard!”
“If you have time to complain, grab it!”
Hwasan’s disciples rushed towards Cheongmyeong, who was about to run away with his sword drawn, attacking him and pressing him down.
“Let go! Don’t you let go? Aren’t these bastards all crazy? Are you attacking me now to save Sapa? Since when did you guys start hanging out with Sapa?! It wasn’t like that in my day! “When I was there!”
“Oh, shut up! snout! snout!”
“Ahh! Hold it right there! upright!”
“Please… please, let’s eat something. Please….”
Hong Dae-kwang, who was staring at the scene blankly, suddenly heard a giggling sound in his ears.
“….”
Wei Xiaoheng was laughing out loud as if he had never been nervous.
‘Nothing has changed.’
Even if they become stronger and thus have a different status than in the past.
A volcano is just a volcano.
“Cheongmyeong Dojo!”
Wei Xiaoheng, who realized that fact, smiled brightly and ran away, calling Cheongmyeong loudly.
