Episode 862. I want to be lazy.
Fluttering – Fluttering -.
The strong wind tossed the boat from side to side.
To make matters worse, heavy rain poured down overhead like pouring water.
Shoot ah-.
In the midst of the mayhem, even an experienced boatman lost his pole.
“Ah!”
The desperate boatman covered my face with both hands.
In the middle of the river, they lost even the stick to steer the boat, so they are now helpless.
The boat would either capsize or crash against the rocks as it was tossed about by the current.
He was flustered, feeling something strange and turned his head.
It seemed that only he was making a fuss from earlier.
just as expected?
Passengers gathered in a sloppy cabin, but their expressions were peaceful.
The people of Seokgyeongjang were unbelievably calm in this chaos.
Thinking that it was because he did not know the situation, the boatman ran to the front of the cabin and shouted.
“Naris! I lost my stick! You can’t get your boat to the river!”
Only then did the faces of the people in the cabin slightly tense.
Before long, the eyes of the people at the Seokgyeongjang all turned to Yeonjeokha.
Hearing from Shen Tong that Yeon Je-he saved the people of the upper ranks with the Tian Dun Sword.
Now, he had no choice but to trust Yeonjeokha, who pulled up dozens of wagons that had fallen into the river with his swordsmanship.
And he did not disappoint the expectations of his rival family members.
Standing tall on the ferociously shaking deck, he took out his sword from the sky and threw it into the sky.
As soon as he snapped his sword, the Cheondun Sword moved to the back of the boat.
The boatman was momentarily surprised by the sword, but soon gave up.
‘Damn it! My stomach is about to capsize and I’m about to die. What kind of knife is that!’
This is when he is thinking about how to overcome this crisis.
Suddenly, I felt a vibration from the bottom of the boat with a ‘Ku-ung’ sound.
“omg! I must have hit a bar rock!”
The boatman, who had been flattened on the deck, screamed as he crawled to the mast.
He was determined to survive by holding on to the mast if the ship was destroyed.
that’s when
The ship, which had been rocking left and right like a madman, suddenly centered.
Even a ship that wouldn’t be strange if it broke right away doesn’t even move?
The boatman hesitated, wondering what was going on.
Water splashed on the deck a little while ago from the turbulent current, but there was nothing like that.
The boatman’s mouth dropped open as he approached the boat and looked down.
The bottom of the boat was moving forward with the bottom barely hanging on the water.
What was floating the boat now was not the river, but something else.
‘omg! What is that?’
Supporting the flat bottom of a flat-bottomed ship was a metal plate I had never seen before.
‘Couldn’t it be the sword I saw earlier?’
If you look at the color, it’s the same sword, but the size is different.
The length of the ship is over five feet (about 15 meters), how can you support it with an ordinary longsword!
‘Then where did that sword go?’
No, at a moment of crisis like this, why did the enemy take out the sword and throw it to the back of the ship?
Curious about the whereabouts of the missing sword, he widened his eyes.
I could see the ferry about a dozen chapters (about 30 meters) ahead.
It was the size of a familiar pellet, and it was clear that it was the ferry in the bay area.
“I! There is Naruto over there!”
The boatman pointed his finger at the right bank of the river.
The boat, which seemed to pass by the ferry at any moment, turned and headed for the ferry.
Eventually, when the boat arrived at the dock, the boatman tied the boat to the dock with a rope.
When the boatman anchored the boat to the dock, he sent the stacking cheondun sword back into the air.
Only then did the boat start rocking again.
However, it was already moored, so the shaking was not severe.
The boatman barely took a breath, and out of curiosity, he pushed his upper body out of the boat.
However, when it disappeared, the flat plate was not visible.
‘It’s gone, so the boat is shaking, right?’
I wanted to ask what it was, but unfortunately, there was no one to talk to.
Scratching his head, the boatman returned to his cabin.
It wasn’t until the next day that the sky brightened.
It was still raining, but it wasn’t rain like yesterday, so we decided to float the boat.
The family members of the Seokgyeongjang gathered in the cabin and enjoyed the unfamiliar scenery created by the swollen water.
The boatman, wearing a dorongi and a hat, pushed the boat into the center of the river with a new pole.
Although he covered his face with a hat, the sailor did not turn his head towards Namgoongyeon.
He knew that the people of Yeon Jeok-ha and Seokgyeongjang lived in a world completely different from his own.
Just thinking about the ‘flying sword by myself’ and the ‘method of raising the boat above the water’ gave me goosebumps.
The ship, which went south along the Ta River, met the Yangtze River and headed east again.
Namgungyeon’s plan was to follow the Yangtze River to Namjilgyeseong.
Trick-trick-.
The boatman, who was habitually pointing, stole it with the back of his hand when sweat dug into his eyes.
Then he noticed that his hands were shaking.
The past few days, when he was very nervous, he pointed with his finger.
‘ha!’
I regretted signing a long-distance contract thinking I was an ordinary customer.
Being conscious of the eyes of the people at Seokgyeongjang, it was hard on the body as well as the mind.
However, it is not possible to cancel the contract now.
I had to keep my promise, even if I had to collapse and die while pointing.
It may be more difficult to know that.
‘I’m going to die.’
Suddenly, even my back, which had been fine, throbbed.
It seems that the past 10 days have been exhausted from the pointing.
It had to be that way, since he kept his back straight and pointed his finger with all his might every moment.
I should have been working with tips in moderation, but I couldn’t.
The problem was that in the beginning, while looking sideways at Namgoongyeon, Shimtong took a picture and saw Yeonjeokha’s inaction.
In terms of the size of the river and the strength of the current, the Yangtze River is incomparable to the Ta River.
Of course, the concentration and strength also increased several times.
crooked
‘evil!’
I was pointing with my finger, but I felt a sharp pain in my lower back as if something had gone wrong.
‘It’s over.’
The boatman slowly sat down on the stern.
Since the contract was broken due to his own mistake, he had to follow the other party’s decision unconditionally.
He put the pole down on the deck and vigorously massaged his sprained back.
When he stopped pointing, the boat, pushed by the current, slowly drifted toward the riverside.
As the ship moved strangely, a heartache approached the stern.
“Hey. The boat will go to the mountain.”
“Suddenly, my back sprained... and it became difficult to point.”
“Hehe. It’s strange if your body is so stiff and your back doesn’t sprain. Seeing you do that, you shouldn’t be materialistic and live.”
Sagong was unfair, but made no excuses.
In any case, it was his own fault for hurting his back.
“I will drop you off at the ferry in Musan County. There are many boats coming and going on the Yangtze River, so you will be able to find another boat soon.”
Simtong immediately informed Yeon Jeok-ha and Namgung-yeon of the boatman’s affair.
In the end, Yeon Jeok-ha stepped forward, adjusted the fare, and decided to get off at Musan-hyeon.
***
Lustrous.
Musan County.
around noon.
A five-long boat slowly entered the dock.
Some of the people at the dock quickly approached the new boat.
However, the boat moved to a nearby mooring area, putting down the guests, young and old, as if there was a problem.
The people who approached to check the destination scattered with disappointed faces.
The people of Seokgyeongjang settled down in the shade of a tree in a secluded place.
Yeon Jeok-ha, who was sitting shoulder to shoulder with Namgung-yeon and watching the dock, murmured.
“Is everyone busy? It looks like some kind of ant swarm is moving.”
The dangwoonmang who was nearby intervened.
“They will think we are lazy people.”
“ah! I want to be lazy.”
Yeon Jeok-ha’s sincere sighs made the Seokgyeongjang’s family members laugh and say, ‘Pup!’
At that time, about a dozen young ladies from Myoryeong entered the dock in an orderly manner.
Looking at the white robe that seemed to match the long sword on his back, it was clear that he was a member of the same clan.
