"Wow, it's a cabin.”
"It looks amazing, accident!"
Hwasan's disciples exclaimed as they saw the cabin.
It was a hut built by stacking the round tree without changing its shape.
It was certainly a style that had never been seen in the midfield.
Of course, some people built houses on high mountains in the middle of the country, but this type of log timber was rare.
"It's bigger than I thought."
The odd thing was, I couldn't see any other houses around.
"Isn't this a village?"
"Hm?"
When Jo-Gol asked, Hong Yi-myung tilted his head slightly.
"Are you looking for a village?"
"Oh, not really."
"If you're looking for a village, you shouldn't be here. People don't live well here because it's a remote place. You came all the way here without knowing it at all?"
All eyes were on Baek Cheon in unison.
"Why? What?"
"…I thought I came to see you somehow."
"Yes, of course."
Baek Cheon complained angrily, but his rebuttal was buried by the sound from the cart.
"Can I come in?”
Before I knew it, Chung-Myung and a small Dambi were shivering as they poked their heads out of the luggage.
Hong Yi-myung tilted his head as if he didn't understand.
"Why is Dambi shaking?"
"…I'm sorry."
It's not something to apologize for, but Baek Cheon just apologized reflexively.
Anyway, people, animals, nothing's right!
"Come on in, it's shabby. You'll be able to warm up.”
"Yes!"
Chung-Myung, who didn't know the word "no," quickly ran inside holding Baek-ah as soon as the door opened. Baek Cheon made a bitter excuse.
"You may seem rude now, but he's not normally that rude. It's because I'm tired of the cold, so please understand with a broad heart."
But it was Baek Cheon who never said that he had good manners because he had a conscience.
"Polite."
Hong Yi-myung smiled as if he was having fun.
"The North Sea are not very polite. It's only for those who can afford it."
"Oh……."
"Come on in."
"Then excuse me."
Hawsan's disciples bowed their heads and went into the cabin.
'Well.'
It was warm enough to be outside even though it was built with wood. Just blocking the wind seemed to have enough temperature for humans to live in.
"Uh……. My clothes are all frozen, Sasook."
"Ah! Accident! My hair is all frozen." No! Don't touch me! Oh, my God, it's breaking!”
Entering the warm place, I realized how terrible the cold has been. Never imagined that the leather would freeze, they trembled at the sight of the splitting leather.
"It would have frozen to death if we had gone a little further."
"It's all because Dong-Aeng's private lodging has gone the wrong way."
"Who just said colleague? Come out."
As they took off their frozen clothes in the snow, they chatted in their melted mouths.
"Wow. But how can it be so heartwarming?"
"Accident! Look over there. There's a fire."
"Huh?"
There was a small spark in the heart of the cabin. As I approached slightly and looked inside, firewood was burning brightly.
"Oh, my God. There's a stove in the house.”
"That's why it's warm."
"The chimney is drilled over the roof."
"Yes, Chung-Myung is next to you."
Huh? Chung-Myung?
Everyone sighed as they saw Chung-Myung, who was close to the brazier and almost became one body."Chung-Myung아. And then it burns."
"Fire! Fire! Fire! This is fire!"
Chung-Myung turned his head and looked at Baek Cheon. The frozen and melted face was covered with charcoal black.
"Living quarters, living quarters! Don't you think we can install this in a cart?”
"That doesn't make any sense, you lunatic!"
"Why not! I set it up in my house, but I can't do it in a cart!"
Baek Cheon wrapped his face around him.
'You're supposed to get better with age.’
How does this guy get any better as the years change?
Then Hong Yi-myung laughed and said.
"Ha ha ha. It'll be difficult to install in a cart. It's so heavy and...….”
"It's okay. Our horses are strong!”
"Who is it, who is it?"
Eventually, Baek Cheon, who couldn't resist, rushed to Chung-Myung. No, I tried to jump in, but I was quickly grabbed by Yoon-jong and Jo-Gol.
The two sighed and dried Baek Cheon.
"You can't do this at home. Private lodging."
"Please tell the time and place."
“…….”
Hong Yi-myung smiled lightly as he saw them making a fuss.
"More than that, you'd better change your clothes a little. Looks like good leather and fur, but it doesn't seem appropriate to withstand this cold.”
"…I didn't expect it to be this cold."
"I suppose so. This kind of cold doesn't come often even in the North Sea. It's especially colder this year."
Hawsan's disciples nodded as if they understood.
"So it's not like this normally?”
"It's a little less cold."
“…….”
"A little bit."
“…….”
Surely this is not a neighborhood to live in.
"There's water there, so wash your hands and feet first and warm up. It's easy to get frostbite if you don't wash your hands and feet.”
"Thank you."
"And…."
Hong Yi-myung walked to one side of the cabin and removed the covered cloth. Then he took out a pile of fur from the animal he had woven from it.
"This would be better than the ones I brought.”
"Oh, this is...?”
"The fur of animals in the cold country is very warm. And I have to cover my hair first. My body temperature goes out of my head."
Everyone glanced at Hye Yeon at his words. Even my scalp is frozen. Somehow I felt sad to see Hye Yeon turn red as she melted.
"Oh……. Like this."
Hong Yi-myung smiles when Baek Cheon doesn't know what to do.
"There's no need for that. The North Sea does not treat its guests."
Back Cheon again wanted to say thank you, Chung-Myung frowned.
"That?"
"Hm?"
"No, it's not."
Now warmed up, Chung-Myung got up and walked toward the leather.
Then, he took the fur off the bottom by walking the cloth again.
"Huh? I think it's Dambi's fur."
When she heard that it was her kind of hair, the white child stood up and was wary.
"Yikes!"
"Oh! Shut up!"
Chung-Myung, who threw a white child at the skin, pulled out the larger fur from the bottom.
"You look so much better caught here.”
Then Hong Yi-myung scratched the back of his nose with a slightly troubled face.
"I'm sorry, but it's not something I can just give you. If we don't sell the skins of the animals we've hunted all winter, our family will starve to death."
"Hey. Do I look so shameless?"
"Yes."
"…Go in, Dong-ryong."
Baek Cheon, who responded instead of Hong Yi-myung, stepped aside, smacking his lips.
"You're going to sell this anyway, aren't you?""Well, you're right."
"Then sell it to us, no matter how far you go."
"It's North Sea bear leather, so it's a little expensive."
"Oh, you don't have to worry about that.”
Chung-Myung smiles.
"We have a lot of money. I'll double that."
“…….”
"Can I build some more fire here instead?"
“…….”
"What?"
"As much as you like, sir."
It was Hong Yi-myung who changed her tone.
"Ugh……. I think I'm going to buy it now.”
Chung-Myung, sitting in front of the brazier with a large bear skin, took the glass in his hand to his mouth. At best, the water was boiled with glue, so it was too crude to call it tea, but if it tasted bad and was hot, metal water would be good.
"…I didn't know home was such a good thing.”
"I know. I've been homeless for about a month and my back is about to break."
"I'm glad it's not windy."
Hwasan's disciples were also feeling the importance of home.
And Hong Yi-myung looked at his disciples with a smile on his face.
"Do you need anything else?"
"…Yes, that's fine."
"If you need anything, feel free to let me know."
"……Yes."
I think you've changed your attitude a little bit, but you've changed to a good one anyway.
Hong received half the price of leather in gold and the other half in grain. Having sold the leather all at once and for a better price, he had a bright face.
"Thanks to you, I lived. In the North Sea in winter, getting grain is the biggest thing.”
"I think so."
Thanks to Hyun Young's packed grain just in case, there is still a lot of grain left even after giving two bags of rice.
"But do people in the North Sea eat grain, too?”
"Of course."
"I don't think the grain will grow well."
"So you trade grain for North Sea stuff."
Hong Yi-myung sighed and said.
"At one time, when trade was smooth with the meadow, we could trade leather and fish for grain. But recently, even that has become difficult.”
"Oh……."
Baek Cheon nodded slowly with a heavy face. Then Chung-Myung started talking.
"Mister."
"Yep!"
"Do you know anything about the North Sea Ice Palace?"
However, when the word "North Sea Ice Palace" came out, Hong Yi-myeong's face slightly changed. Chung-Myung didn't miss the fear and annoyance on his face.
"I'm sorry, but I can't tell you more about the North Sea Ice Palace. If you open your mouth to foreigners...….”
"Sasook. Give me another hermit."
"…Would it be a big deal? So what do you want to know?”
Baek Cheon's eyes trembled slightly.
You seem to have changed a lot from the first time I saw this guy…….
Chung-Myung said with a shrug.
"You can speak comfortably.”
"Oh, can I?"
"Yes, and the whole thing is fine. We don't know much about the bingo. Especially if you could let me know what happened recently."
"Well."
Hong Yi-myung nodded slightly.
"Actually…."
Then I opened my mouth and looked around slightly. Even though he knew there was no one to overhear, he seemed to be looking instinctively.
"As you know, the Bingo is the ruler of the North Sea. Since this is a place where there is no country, the Binggoes have ruled the North Sea like kings and cared for the North Sea people."
Yoon-Jong and Jo-Gol nodded as they made eye contact.
"It's like a beast's palace."
"Other than birds, it's almost like that."
Hong Yi-myung sighed low.
"The North Sea people have also relied on such North Sea ice palaces. It was like that a dozen years ago.""You're saying it's not now?"
"…Do you know what a foolhole is like?"
"Well?"
Hong Yi-myung squinted his eyes.
"The Binggung is literally a kingdom-like place. And the archer of the Bingo was hereditary."
"Well……. It's the same concept."
Unnam's Beast Palace was still shaped like a Munpa. However, the Bukhae Binggung Palace seemed to be a family of blood that led to Sacheondang family's blood like Namgoongse.
"Just as the Four Heavenly Clown reigns as the Holy Father?"
"Be careful what you say, death penalty! Dangga has never been like a king. Don't tell me you're in trouble!
"Well, it's pretty similar.”
When Jo-Gol shrugged, Dang-Soso shook his eyes. Then Jo-Gol shrugged his neck like a turtle.
"…That's the way it is."
"Yes, something like that."
Jo-Gol was a saint, so he sometimes tended to be timid with Dang-Soso, daughter of the Sacheon Party.
Hong Yi-myung, who had no idea of such circumstances, continued to explain after looking at them for a moment.
"But more than a decade ago, the palace of the North Sea Ice Palace changed in the middle."
"Huh? You said you were going to continue generations.”
"That's right."
"Then……."
Hong Yi-myung nodded.
"A rebellion broke out."
"Oh……."
Yoon-Jong frowned at Hong's words.
"Didn't the former palace have any virtue?”
"Is that possible? Didn't I tell you. At that time, the North Sea believed in and relied on the foolish palace, and the king was a saint. Not only the North Sea, but also the courtiers of the Bingo followed him.”
When Baek Cheon heard that, he tilted his head.
"Then, was it thanks to the man who caused the rebellion?"
"It was Solchon Sang who was the brother of the Prince of the Sun. He was not supported by the North Sea because of his narrow-minded nature."
"…but how can a rebellion be?"
Hong Yi-myung frowned.
"The North Sea never betrayed its predecessor. But that day, Solchon Sang attracted outsiders to the North Sea.”
"An outsider?"
"…I see. They were all dressed in black suits. They were…… they were really evil.”
There was a deep fear on Hong's face was young.
Baek Cheon looked back at Chung-Myung as he hardened his lips.
"Chung-Myung아."
"Yeah."
Chung-Myung's face, nodding, was distorted.
"It's magic."
