"Don't move! Every man who moves is a criminal!"
"…what?"
"You understand, it's not like that for a day or two."
Baek Cheon sighed as he looked at Chung-Myung, the mandible, like a poisonous viper.
Behind Chung-Myung's back is a wooden sack. As soon as he came back to the Beast Palace, he took the sack of pine grass and was doing that, saying he should protect it.
"Cute, cute."
"Don't say that, even if it's a joke. You know I'm serious."
Baek Cheon smirks at Jo-Gol's shudder.
Of course, it's true that Chung-Myung looks amazing.….
'It's not something you don't understand.'
Just because you get it easier than you think, doesn't mean that the importance of pine plants is diminished. That's the only way to make a marriage party, and Hwasan can regain his old reputation.
Now that pine plant was more precious than gold to Hwasan. No wonder Chung-Myung's nerves are on edge.
"If it's that important, don't put it here and keep it. We need to get back to Hwasan."
Chung-Myung nodded.
"It's a lot longer than I thought. Elder people's necks must have gotten an inch longer."
"……."
Baek Cheon, who imagines elders with long necks, quickly shakes their heads and blows away the ideas that have been fired.
'Yes, the journey is a lot longer than I thought.'
Who knows what it takes to get that grass?
Come to think of it, it was Baek Cheon who felt that the sack of pine plants was more precious.
He turned his head and said, looking at the other disciples.
"Are you ready to leave?"
"There's not much to be prepared for. I don't have much luggage."
"Well, that'sir."
He nodded quietly. And he looked at Chung-Myung again and spoke in a slightly lower voice.
"Then, without delay, let us say hello to the Lord of the Beast and leave. You've shown us a lot of kindness, so we should say hello properly."
"Well, you should."
Chung-Myung nodded.
Though I want to leave for the island immediately, regardless of greeting, I need to make a good relationship with the Beast Palace owner.
'Cause the pine grass is held hostage.'
Chung-Myung narrowed his forehead slightly.
The more I think about it, the smarter the Beast is. They gave out small pine plants to him, and he even established a field of pine plants around Shindam to build a foundation for continuous relationship.
Of course, it's a gain for Hwasan as well. It's easy to get a pine tree, and we've got a future supplier.
Then Yoon-jong and Jo-Gol sneaked up on Chung-Myung.
"What the hell! Don't come near me!"
"I'm not taking it away, man! We're Hwasan people, too!"
Jo-Gol screamed and was upset.
Yoon-Jong opened his mouth with a slightly serious face.
"Chung-Myung아."
"Huh?"
"I have a quick story to tell you."
"Huh?"
Chung-Myung tilted his head at his rather serious attitude.
"Why would we do that?"
Chung-Myung's voice rose sharply. On the other hand, Yoon-Jong, who spoke out, seemed calm as if he had expected such a response.
"No, think about it."
"It's not like we're stopping them from going up and down to Unnam! Why do we have to convince them that they won't?"
"There are many reasons."
"What are you going to do about people starving again? The death penalty. Yoon-jong the death penalty penalty. It is not for us to step up. No, of course I'm sorry, too. But there are things you can do and things you can't do.""No, it's not just for that reason."
Jo-Gol, who had only been listening to him quietly, shook his hand and added.
"Chung-Myung아. The death penalty will be done out of compassion. If it were, I would have stopped you before you could talk. But come to think of it, this isn't that simple."
At Jo-Gol's words, Chung-Myung narrowed his brows slightly.
"Then what?"
"It makes money."
"Huh?"
"Money!"
Jo-Gol shone his eyes.
Chung-Myung looked at the two with a strange expression when he said money.
"So……."
"Let me explain……."
But even before Jo-Gol opened his mouth, Chung-Myung immediately said.
"Since the food situation in Unnam looks bad, can we make a lot of money if we can buy food and trade it for Unnam's car?""
"Uh……."
"Of course, there are still small ups and downs, but that alone is absolutely insufficient in supply, so if you can get your hands on the tea trade rights of Unnam, can you make as much money as the top 10 middle-classmen earn?""
"……."
"And you can eat pheasants and eggs because the death penalty house can do that? You mean?"
Jo-Gol looked blankly at Chung-Myung.
"…...are you thinking?"
"Who do you think is a fool?"
"Yes."
"What?"
"Oh, no."
Chung-Myung smirks.
"I know what the death penalty is thinking, but I know one thing, and neither of them knows. The important thing for us is not to make money in Unnam, but to maintain a good relationship with the Beast Palace."
"……."
"You don't have to do things that the other person doesn't like for the other person. Money? Of course it's important. But there are things in the world that need to be considered more important than money."
Yoon-jong and Jo-Gol looked blankly at Chung-Myung.
And they exchange glances.
You said you'd go crazy if you told me you were making money.
I thought the death penalty was like that! Who knew something like that would come out of that money ghost's mouth?'
Chung-Myung looked at the two with pathetic eyes.
"So don't think too much about it and pack up."
"…응응."
Yoon-Jong bowed his head with a groan.
"Can't you just give me some luck?"
"Huh."
Then Chung-Myung looked at him with disapproving eyes. But Yoon-Jong didn't seem to be willing to break the promise easily.
"The Lord of the Beast takes you special. You may hear what you say. In fact, the reason why the Beast Palace is blocking the car trade is because it hates the people in the middle, but it could be a good thing for each other if you go out yourself."
Chung-Myung narrowed his forehead slightly.
Come to think of it, it's not that wrong...….
After a brief thought, he finally opened his mouth.
"It's really just luck."
"Yes, I don't want any more."
"Instead!"
"Huh?"
Chung-Myung grinned.
"There's something the death penalty should prepare for us."
"Huh?"
"It's nothing."
Chung-Myung grinned.
"It's an outfit that makes negotiations easier."
Anxiety in the faces of Yoon-jong and Jo-Gol was young.
"……."
Baek Cheon looked blankly at Chung-Myung.
"That……."
"Why?"
"……No."
His eyes glanced from head to toe over Chung-Myung.
"......What's wrong with you?"
"I mean, what?"
"Oh, yeah.
Baek Cheon sighed deeply.
Wearing a blue school uniform, Chung-Myung holds a fan made of white tail in one hand.It was almost like Zhuge Liang's, but it doesn't look good when it's made poorly.
His father Chung-Myung stretched his shoulders as if he were proud of his face a couple of times with the crude back priority.
"You have to wear this much to negotiate in Unnam."
Baek Cheon, who looked at his smiling face with his hands behind him, eventually turned his head, frowning.
But as soon as I turned my head, I could see worse people.
"What's wrong with you guys?"
"……."
Yoon-Jong and Jo-Gol stole the moistened snow with their sleeves without a word.
In fact, Baek Woo-sun in Chung-Myung's hands was not bought from anywhere, but made by the two of themselves.
Chung-Myung asked them for a school doctor and back priority, and the two men, who did not dare to go to the beginning of the crisis, entered the jungle and ran on their own feet to chase the long-legged bird.
Thanks to this, the branches were scratched, grass venom rose, and the bird's toenails were scratched into a mess.
'That d*mn thing.'
"He's not going to bite the dog!
Thanks to him, he managed to create a plausible back priority within time. The result of the tears and sorrow is now in Chung-Myung's hands.
"Hu-hoo, history is bound to repeat itself! Don't you think you'll listen to me by now? giggle giggle."
Baek Cheon opened his mouth in a serious tone, looking at Chung-Myung laughing to himself.
"…Listen carefully, everyone."
"Yes. Private lodging."
"This is absolutely a secret when we return to the Middle East. Zhugel Sega may come after you with a knife if they know."
"……I will."
Hwasan's disciples sighed one after another.
Regardless of that, Chung-Myung stretched his arms left and right as if he liked his clothes and coughed in vain.
"Now, the Lord of the Palace...…."
It was then.
"Are you inside?"
"Huh?"
Chung-Myung opened the door to the sound from outside. The Beast Palace was also municipal waiting for him.
"The Lord of the Palace is looking for Master Chung-Myung."
"Huh?"
Chung-Myung tilted his head.
"Why?"
"I don't know why. He asked me to stop by the palace room as soon as I had time."
"Really?"
Chung-Myung nodded.
It's a good thing that I was thinking about how to get there.
"Then I'll be back."
"Well……."
"Don't worry. I'll try to talk to him. I may look like this, but I used to hear Zhugel Chung-Myung."
"……Jeggal Chung-Myung is frozen to death."
"Ahem!"
Baek Cheon opened his mouth with a stiff face as he looked at Chung-Myung, who was swinging with his back luggage behind his back.
"Guys."
"Yes, death penalty!"
"Get your things together."
"What?"
"Always hold your luggage so that you can rabbit at any time."
"……Yes."
Baek Cheon looked at Chung-Myung with anxious eyes.
'Please don't make an accident. Chung-Myung아.'
please
* * *
"Are you here?"
"Yes. Did everything go well last night?"
"What will happen to me...What's wrong with your outfit?"
"I've been thinking about it."
"Hahahahahaha! You look like a literary man."
"Right? Hehe!"
Chung-Myung opened his arms slightly, walked forward, and sat in front of the Beast Palace.
"I'm here because you called me."
"Well, that'sir. I called you because I had something to say."
"Yes, go ahead."
The Beast Palace Lord looked at Chung-Myung with his beak eyes.
"I don't know if I should say this, but the Beast Palace has been very comfortable with him."
"Oh, thank you very much."I meant it.
Although the former Maehwa inspection is said to be a hero of Unnam, it is never easy to treat and consider descendants who are not themselves.
So I have to thank you.
However, the Beast Palace Lord opened his mouth with a bit of humility.
"That's not necessarily why I'm saying...…."
"What?"
Seeing the intense face awkwardly, Chung-Myung's body was about to twist.
"I have a favor to ask of you."
"Please?"
"Yeah."
The Beast Palace owner sighs and looks at Chung-Myung.
"This is a request from the Beast Palace to Hwasan, and I, Maeng So, the owner of the Beast Palace...…."
"Wait a minute."
"Huh?"
"Your name is Maeng So?"
"That's right."
"Small?"
The Beast Palace Lord nods his head.
"When I was born, I was so small that my father gave me that name."
"……."
No.
What happens to someone who was so small when he was born growing up?
Have you had any baby food?
"Well, anyway!"
The Beast Palace Lord Maeng So continued with a slightly embarrassed look.
"This is also a request from the Beast Palace owner, Me Maeng So, to Hwasan's Chung-Myung seal."
Chung-Myung straightened his back.
If this is the case, it means something serious. He who has done you a favor needs to be treated accordingly. Chung-Myung has uncharacteristically hardened his face.
"Tell me."
"It's no different……."
Maeng So, who had been mumbling over and over again as if he was choosing a horse, sighed deeply and said.
"I know it's a difficult request, but...….Can't Hwasan come forward and trade with Unnam himself?"
"…what?"
"Trade……."
"What?"
"So the car trade...…."
"…what?"
"Of course, I know it's difficult."
Chung-Myung asked back with a blank face.
You want me to trade cars?"
"That's right."
"Hwasan?"
"That's right."
"……."
Chung-Myung looked at Maeng So with dumb eyes.
What's wrong with you?'
That's what I have to ask for.
What's going on here?
