Episode 189: I Only Trust You (1)
Yu Jin-san, who went to Paedo Gate, did not return until morning.
As soon as I entered the entrance of the manor, my granddaughter came running out.
“Why did you come so late?”
The question was asked as if it were a rumor.
I have never left my granddaughter alone all night without saying anything.
I thought he would be okay because he was with his friends, but he seemed worried.
“It’s very late, right? “As I was talking with Uncle Baek-gyu, I realized that the time had already come.”
Last night, Yu Jin-san met Moonju Baek-gyu with Im Jeon-se.
I had planned to just talk for a while, but I got caught by him and had to be his partner all night long.
At that time, Yoo Seol narrowed his eyes and asked.
“What about my snack?”
Come to think of it, my granddaughter asked for a snack before leaving yesterday.
However, I couldn’t help but feel embarrassed to see them looking for snacks first. Even though he didn’t come back all night.
“This guy doesn’t worry about spending money and starts looking for snacks?”
“I mean, I kept waiting. “Didn’t you buy it?”
“What kind of snack is it? “You have to do something pretty for them to buy it for you.”
Yu Seol didn’t seem to believe that.
“Lies~”
Yoo Seol suddenly sniffed and grabbed the grandfather’s shoulder.
Then he put his hand in his chest and started rummaging around.
“Let go of this! “Where are you looking for Haejaebi’s clothes?”
Jinsan Yu tried to shake off his granddaughter’s hand, but he couldn’t withstand it.
Soon the snacks I had hidden were taken away.
These were the main dishes that I prepared separately while having drinks with Baek Gyu last night.
Yoo Seol was overjoyed after obtaining the snacks neatly stacked on paper.
“Hehehe. “I knew it would be like this.”
“You’re very perceptive. “Are the kids still there?”
“huh. He said he would go after eating. “I will cook you something delicious.”
“Don’t try something strange, just make something that has already been successful. And nothing special happened last night, right?”
“Yeah, nothing happened. why?”
Jinsan Yu shook his head with an expression of relief.
“It is nothing. “The money will be in the garden, so when the kids go, come there.”
Yu Seol nodded and went back into the palace with snacks.
And Eugene San slowly moved towards the backyard alone.
‘Since the day has passed, I guess I’ll have to do some sowing work.’
The martial arts people are able to control their sleep to some extent through internal energy. Maybe that’s why I wasn’t tired at all even though I didn’t sleep a wink last night.
After a while, a small jar came into Yujinsan’s field of vision.
There, seeds of crops to be planted in the garden were collected.
Soon he hummed and grabbed the lid of the jar.
“Today, we should plant Seol’s favorite pumpkins and eggplants...”
Jin-san Yu opened his mouth without saying anything.
This was because the inside of the jar changed.
His eyes were constantly blinking. As if I saw something I couldn’t see.
Something unbelievable had happened.
Aren’t all the crop seeds rotten?
Plus, it was full of bugs inside.
I couldn’t keep my mouth shut at the disgusting sight.
Did some guy sneak in and play a prank? But that couldn’t have happened. If that were the case, Yu Seol would have caught him right away.
“What on earth is this?”
Jinsan Yu flopped down in his seat and crossed his arms.
No matter how much I thought about it, nothing came to mind. Because it couldn’t happen physically.
He sighed with a dark expression.
‘Whatever the problem is, it needs to be resolved quickly.’
There was a long way to go and I was going crazy and jumping up and down.
The original plan was to just decorate the garden and concentrate on martial arts training. Afterwards, the plan was to put pressure on the Murim lord, who was at the top of the political faction, and sort out Eunwon.
But I can’t help but feel frustrated because I’m being held back by something so strange.
‘I’ll have to watch it with my own eyes sometime.’
Yu Jin-san, feeling embarrassed, got up and headed to the market.
Jinsan Yu, who had purchased seeds again at the market, watched silently.
The jar was placed in the same position as yesterday. One difference is that the lid is left open.
The sight of Yoo Seol nodding his head seemed trustworthy.
It feels like yesterday when she was a baby, and she’s already grown to the point where I can even entrust her with errands like this.
I couldn’t help but feel proud.
“My granddaughter is already all grown up. “Have a safe trip.”
Yu Seol nodded and gently touched the grandfather’s shoulder.
“Grandpa is also taking care of the house well.”
The situation was somewhat awkward, but Jinsan Yu decided not to think too much about it.
The granddaughter packed a simple baggage and left without delay.
And Yu Jin-san, who was left alone, was still watching the seeds. But nothing changed until it got dark.
‘There can be no answer like this.’
Anyway, when my granddaughter comes back, I’ll be able to find some clues.
There didn’t seem to be any need to go to such lengths.
It was that time when I was about to leave my seat and stand up.
【You are left alone. Finally.】
A woman’s strange voice slowly came from my head.
It was definitely not an electric sound or anything like that.
Eugene San quickly looked around.
However, only a gloomy wind blew endlessly.
Could it be that an unknown entity is making fun of him?
Suddenly he became angry. When I thought about it, I realized that I had no reason to be scared at all.
“How dare you fool around! “Why can’t we just come out!”
His name was a martial arts expert. I planned to beat my opponent as soon as they appeared, whether they were humans or ghosts.
However, no abnormalities appeared anymore.
The day was gradually getting dark and gloomy.
I couldn’t stand the silence of being alone in a large manor.
Yu Jin-san, who had been looking around for a while, entered the living quarters and lay down on the bed. He also did not forget to place his favorite weapon, a dragon lance, at his bedside.
‘It looks like he’s coming with Manho.’
He was lost in thought about his granddaughter with his eyes wide open in the darkness without a single light.
If we had just had a conversation, it would have been enough time to return.
The reason he hasn’t arrived yet is probably because he is accompanying Manho.
His thoughts again lingered on the words he had heard in his head a moment ago.
‘...Finally alone? ‘Is there something sinister targeting me?’
Now that I think about it, there was never a strange phenomenon when I was with Yu Seol.
He didn’t know if it was a coincidence, but this only happened when he was alone.
We’ll find out in two days anyway.
Yu Jin-san, who was lost in thought, slowly closed his eyes.
I was able to sleep well because I didn’t sleep last night because I was working on a big project with Baek Gyu.
It was around this time that I was slowly entering a dream.
“...Ouch!”
Jin-san Yu, suddenly out of breath, let out a scream.
I couldn’t come to my senses as I felt like all my senses were being sucked under the bed.
Moreover, his limbs did not move as if they were crushed under a huge rock.
When I opened my eyes with difficulty, I saw a wrist as white as snow.
Countless hands were pressing down on his entire body, from his neck to his toes.
It was difficult to even breathe, let alone shake it off.
What kind of ridiculous situation is this?
Even when I tried my best, the point was unwavering.
I have never felt so helpless before.
The blood bled in Yu Jin-san’s eyes, and his whole body began to gradually convulse.
Suddenly, a lion’s nose erupted from somewhere and vibrated his ears.
“Grandpa-ae-ae-ae!!!”
It was the rumored lion’s rear with incredible inner strength.
The entire manor shook as if it would collapse.
It seemed to be a sound wave from a very long distance.
And at that moment, Jinsan Yu could once again hear the unpleasant voice.
【what a waste. I could have taken him with me.】
The white hands that had been pressing him suddenly disappeared like smoke.
At the same time, a familiar voice sounded urgently from outside.
“Elder!”
It was Manho’s voice.
I can’t believe it has already arrived. It must have been carried by Yuseol out of thin air.
Yu Jin-san sat down with a pale complexion and let out a rough breath.
