Episode 8 I didn’t know you, old man (2)
Ppeuok-!
It was the sound of Eugene-san’s front foot kicking Chae-ju’s chest.
“Ugh!”
Chaeju managed to defend himself by crossing his arms for a brief moment.
‘Why is the old man so ignorant of his strength...’
The profound power contained in the kick was such that it was difficult to guess its level.
Chaeju was pushed back, lost his stance and stumbled.
Without missing the opportunity, Yujinsan kicked the ground. He started running away.
The moment he passed Chaeju, the ax blade came towards his front chest. It was a blow wielded by the debtor of Heuksando Island.
Jinsan Yu extended both his chained hands in the direction of the ax blade.
Kwaang-!
I expected the chain to be cut, but unfortunately, the fan’s attack was not that strong, so the ax blade only bounced off.
He stepped forward without counterattacking. Then his new model stretched out like a wave and swept away the debt stock in one go.
“Catch that old man!”
The owner of the debt hurriedly followed and shouted.
There were already more than a hundred bandits waiting inside the mountain lodge.
Moreover, the high wooden fence surrounding the mountain vegetables looked very sturdy.
To make matters worse, the bandits on the watchtower began firing arrows.
Wow!
Yu Jin-san’s complexion darkened.
It was unreasonable for him, who was vulnerable to a long-term battle, to get away with dealing with them with his hands tied.
At that time, Chaeju appeared from somewhere and shouted urgently.
“Don’t shoot! “Just send it to me!”
Eugene San approached the front door of the mountain lodge.
The height of the barrier was too high to jump over in one leap.
At that time, Chaeju’s shout came out again.
“Open now!”
As soon as the entrance to the mountain lodge opened, Jin-san Yu ran through the gap.
At this moment, the only thing on his mind was his granddaughter’s comfort.
My heart sank when I thought of the baby left alone in the kitchen.
His back quickly moved away from the living quarters.
The debtor asked, looking to the side with a puzzled look on his face.
“Brother, why did you just let me go? Now that they’ve shown their true colors, they might come back and retaliate against us.”
“I don’t know anything else, but my eyes on people are accurate. “He’s not that type of person.”
“I think differently. Many of my men have gone missing in the mountains recently. “I’m sure that old man killed him.”
Chaeju raised her left hand as if she didn’t want to hear it.
“stop. That has not been confirmed. Anyway, if we can’t win his heart by the time the punitive force comes, we’re done. “We must risk our lives on this matter at any cost.”
* * *
“Yuseol! “Where are you, Seol?”
Yu Jin-san hurriedly arrived at the kitchen and looked around.
The child was nowhere to be seen.
The floor was a mess, as if several pieces of chicken had been eaten while he was away.
I ran out and looked around, but couldn’t find any signs.
Another teardrop fell down his face.
It would have been a big deal if I had encountered a wild animal in a mountain like this.
“Where are you?... Grandpa is here, so hurry up and talk to him.”
While searching the surroundings, he detected a small presence not far away.
It was a grassy forest where about twenty pieces had fallen. Since he is small, he cannot be seen.
I saw the granddaughter I had been desperately looking for.
He was toddling along with his arms outstretched. The face appeared to be covered with tears.
“Huh.”
“Grandpa is here!”
Yu Jin-san ran to her granddaughter a month later, put her tied hands behind her back and hugged her.
It seemed like he was very scared as he was crying sadly.
Tears continued to flow from Jinsan’s eyes.
“...I’m sorry. “I will never leave you alone again.”
The grandfather and granddaughter hugged and cried for a long time.
It was around this time that things calmed down to some extent.
Gag-!
Baekgapsa (白鉀蛇). It was a precious snake that could slightly improve one’s internal energy when consumed.
Although it is not poisonous, it can be dangerous if a baby with a weak immune system is bitten.
Eugene San’s hand blade shot out like a thunderbolt.
Bah!
After being hit squarely in the back of the head, Baek Gapsa’s writhing body went limp.
“Why did these crazy people put a snake here?”
Yu Jin-san snatched the snake from the child’s hand and continued searching through the bag.
Alcohol made from precious medicinal herbs and even the bear’s gall. It was full of things that older people would like.
He sighed and took out something. The small red hawthorn fruit was a favorite snack even for children.
“Now, let’s have a bite.”
Yuseol was already opening his mouth. When I put one in, he ate it happily.
Is it because it was the first sweet fruit I tried? He even waved both hands and loved it.
“Hi~”
I automatically opened my mouth and put a few more fruits into my mouth and then moved to the kitchen. It was because I was hungry because I hadn’t eaten anything all day.
The two squatted down in the kitchen and quickly finished the remaining boiled rice.
“Hehehehe. “I’m finally full and I feel like I’m going to live now.”
After washing the child and entering the room, I fell asleep. But where is the time to sleep leisurely?
Jinsan Yu was in lotus position. Whenever you have time, you should conduct a fortune-telling breakfast.
It was a precarious situation where you never knew when you might collapse and die. The transformation had to be completed before that.
A profound energy originating from the dantian began to circulate through the blood vessels of the entire body.
As I repeated the cycle, my body’s fatigue eased and my mind became clearer.
His blood vessel was damaged everywhere except for the Imma and Dokmaek. As soon as these two acupuncture channels are pierced, a complete transformation will occur. The required strength is about three times.
If I had tried it when I was younger, half my strength would have been enough, but as I got older, the critical point increased.
‘You must endure. I can do it.’
I was brainwashing myself. For the protection of my granddaughter Yuseol. And to avenge the family.
Even if my body was broken, I planned to survive with my mental strength.
After the fortune-telling breakfast, Eugene-san opened his eyes and first looked for his granddaughter.
At that moment, I couldn’t help but laugh.
He was dozing cross-legged next to me, as if imitating himself.
‘Grandpa will help you.’
I gently placed my right hand on the child’s back to prevent him from waking up.
Yujinsan’s bet entered the granddaughter’s danjeon and began a journey.
Controlling one’s true energy within another person’s body consumes a great deal of mental power.
Moreover, it did not only help with internal training. They were refining the danjeon, a vessel containing inner energy, to make it strong and soft.
‘To survive in this harsh world, you must become stronger than anyone else.’
Yu Seol was filled with Danjeon’s energy every day thanks to his unusual constitution and the help of his grandfather.
The work was completed only after the class inspection was over.
Before I knew it, sweat was forming on Yu Jin-san’s forehead. It’s all gone.
After laying down my granddaughter, who was sleeping soundly, I went outside and took a breath of fresh air.
“Oh my, it’s hard because I’m low on energy. “If only I were a little younger.”
Even though I sighed, there was no answer.
It was when I was sitting on the floor and trying to catch my breath. Before his eyes, a limp Baekapsa Temple and wild ginseng tree appeared.
How can I just overlook it? My mouth watered.
I couldn’t even remember the last time I drank alcohol. Plus, great snacks.
With a pounding heart, I started trimming Baekgapsa.
I peeled it, put it on a skewer, and placed it on a bonfire.
Before I knew it, I was holding wild ginseng wine in my left hand.
gulp-! gulp-!
There was no paradise.
The rare drink that I had been drinking for a long time immediately lifted my intoxication and made me feel good.
“ha. Feel so good! You have to be alive to experience this taste. “Hehehe.”
Precious alcohol can only be enjoyed when eaten with good snacks.
Yu Jin-san grabbed the skewer and took a bite.
Even though it was grilled over an open fire, the soft texture of the meat seemed to melt in your mouth.
It was very disappointing to eat alone, but I couldn’t feed snake meat because it could be dangerous to the child.
“Hehehe. haha.”
The laughter never stopped coming from my mouth. I felt the happiness of simple life and admired the surrounding scenery.
The day grew dark and a cool breeze blew his gray hair.
Deep and calm eyes revealed through them. Suddenly, his eyes flashed. This was because a bluish energy, like a will-o’-the-wisp, flickered before his eyes and then disappeared.
It was an incredibly bizarre sight.
‘What did I just see?’
