Chapter 417

Episode 417

Bicheonwoong opened his eyes again.

After confirming that my senses were slowly returning, I looked at the scenery that came into view.

The sunlight coming through the broken boards in the same place as last time was strangely bothering him.

I frowned and looked around.

The child was nowhere to be seen.

Maybe he went somewhere, or maybe he abandoned him and ran away.

Bicheonwoong sighed in relief at the thought of being alone.

Bicheonwoong quietly closed his eyes and began to pray.

It felt a bit dangerous as I was alert to something that might happen, but I felt like my body wouldn’t be able to hold out any longer if I didn’t try the exercise.

The weak remaining inner energy circulated around the body and made a circle.

It seemed like my physical condition had improved somewhat just because of that.

When he finished all his training and opened his eyes, the sun was slowly setting.

“It’s a little better.”

Bicheonwoong muttered as he checked his physical condition.

Although it was not enough to move my body too vigorously, I recovered to a certain level.

Bicheonwoong smiled bitterly because he had to be satisfied with that alone for now.

It was at that moment that the shabby door opened.

The child who I thought had run away came inside holding a bowl in his hand. Eventually, he found Bicheonwoong opening his eyes and was startled, so he took a step back.

“Are you awake?”

The child came inside hesitantly. He even kept his head down, probably because he didn’t want to show his ugly face.

Bicheon Woong, who was watching this scene, slowly stood up.

My body hasn’t recovered enough to move.

But I had no intention of staying here any longer.

He still had work to do and he had to get it done.

“Ah...”

Bicheonwoong, who was trying to stand up, stumbled greatly.

Not only was it because he had been lying down for a long time, but his wounds had not fully healed and he was not in a state where he could move yet.

The child who saw this was startled and ran over.

The bowl in my hand fell to the floor and spilled.

The child’s body stumbled and caught the rain with a violent clanging sound.

Then, perhaps because he was startled, he hurriedly stepped back.

“Hi... I’m sorry...”

“Why are you apologizing?”

Rain Cheonwoong frowned as he saw the person suddenly retreating.

For some inexplicable reason, he didn’t seem to like hearing the apology.

He carefully sat down on the bed and glared at the child.

“I... I touched it...”

“...Is that something you should apologize for?”

Bicheonwoong couldn’t understand.

How is it wrong for a child to help an adult who is about to fall? As I was thinking about that, I suddenly realized something and let out a bewildered laugh.

This child’s appearance was truly hideous.

It is clear even when seen from the perspective of a non-cheonung, so would it be terrible in the eyes of other people?

That’s why they live in hiding in remote places like this.

Avoid contact with people as much as possible.

Bicheonwoong, who had been thinking until that point, asked the child if he realized something.

“Are you the one who brought me here?”

“yes.”

The child hesitated and nodded.

When I think back to that time, it couldn’t have been a really big deal. It was by no means easy to move Bi Cheon-woong, who had suddenly fainted, with the help of a child.

Actually, the child’s house was quite famous in the village.

However, after the child’s face changed like that, a huge amount of money was poured into fixing it, and the family declined and fell.

After all, didn’t his parents also die from the same disease not long ago?

It was natural for people to be reluctant.

He is a devil who ate his parents.

Since such words are being exchanged, no one is willing to get close to them.

Just by keeping him alive until now, he’s put up with a lot.

“He even went so far as to sell a strange knife he had picked up a few days ago and get rid of it.”

“A knife?”

“Yes, it was a knife with a strange pattern engraved on it... but it wasn’t an ordinary item.”

The stall owner made a meaningful expression.

Rumors spread widely that the blacksmith had taken it at a low price.

It must have been picked up somewhere, so people were knocking on the blacksmith’s door, saying it was all mine.

“That child gave birth again.”

You never know when blood might spill.

Although I didn’t see the sword in person, I heard it was a very valuable sword.

I had heard people who knew a little about swords talking about how they might get enough money to buy a huge manor.

“Hey...”

“Anyway, don’t go around asking questions about that kid. “You’ll just get glares for no reason.”

The stall owner said that and looked towards the west.

A blacksmith shop was seen not far away.

I whetted my appetite while looking at that place.

The three children glanced at the stall owner and sat down in a huddle some distance away.

One or two of them seemed quite tired, perhaps because they had been wandering around for a long time and learning about them.

Dan So-mi sighed heavily.

“It’s very difficult.”

“I see... Why don’t you go back now? “I don’t think it can be any later.”

Ju Ji-ya glanced at the sky.

By some time the sun was setting.

It will get dark soon. It’s not a good idea to walk around the streets at night with young children, so I thought it would be a good idea to return to the guest house as quickly as possible.

Dansomi was somewhat dissatisfied with that, but it wasn’t wrong.

I really wanted to see that child even once more, but I didn’t want to worry Dan Woo-hyeon.

“Then tomorrow morning....”

“In the first place. “What are you trying to do to find her?”

At that time, Hong Jinrang opened his mouth with an expression of unwillingness.

“I just... wanted to talk...”

“What? Why is your face like that? Where are your parents and where do you live? Aren’t you lonely? Are you hungry? Would you like some of this? “Sounds like that?” Hong Jinrang’s voice was somewhat sharp.

He already knows that he feels sorry for the child, but what can Dan So-mi, who is still a child and not an adult, go to the child, say, or help him?

“Are you going to live together?”

“No...”

“Are you going to fix that face?”

“Isn’t that too...?”

“Then what on earth are you trying to find?”

I fully understand Dansomi’s kind heart. However, if they really wanted to help that child, adults like Dan Woo-hyeon, not Dan So-mi, should have stepped forward.

Considering the atmosphere of this village, Dansomi’s help may actually be harmful to the child.

Hong Jinrang took a step and stood in front of Dan Somi.

Then, with her face right in front of him, he spit out harsh words.

“Don’t try to do what you can’t do.”

That’s what Ju Ji-yak and Hong Jin-rang wanted to say to Dan So-mi for a long time.
