Episode 247: I’ve Tried Everything (3)
The destination is an island called Haereungdo at the southern end of the central plains.
By the average person’s standards, it was a distance that would take dozens of days to reach the dock.
However, if the martial people move to Gyeonggong, the period is drastically shortened.
After running for half a day without stopping, Josun was able to escape Sichuan, break through Guizhou, and reach Guangxi.
I planned to control my speed from here on. This is because I wanted to show my granddaughter to see the rest of the world.
Of course, this was my first time coming down to the lower part of Mt. Eugene.
“What do you think? “Is it a little different from what you imagined?”
Joson was now entering an unnamed village in the southern region.
I thought he would be happy because it was a long time since he stopped by the village, but Yu Seol’s expression did not look that bright.
“It’s uncomfortable and unpleasant...”
I guess it’s because of the sweltering heat wave. It was so hot and humid that a haze rose from the ground.
“The expenses are nothing, right? “What does this level of heat mean to the martial arts people?”
An absolute master of martial arts who has reached the state of invincibility in cold and cold is not affected by the heat. This is because the body maintains a constant body temperature.
So far, the two haven’t shed a single drop of sweat.
But I couldn’t help the stickiness I felt from the warm wind.
In particular, Yoo Seol is likely to be more sensitive to stickiness due to his superhumanly developed senses. It was no wonder I became so sensitive.
“look. “We’re the only ones dressed like this.”
I finally took a closer look at the clothing of the Yujinsan Island village residents.
More than half of the street workers were topless.
Plus, short pants and a hood to cool your head from the sun. Most of them were dressed very lightly.
Joson, on the other hand, was wearing a suit that covered all parts of his body in layers. The outfit was in clear contrast to the people here.
“Our clothes are more expensive and better, so you don’t need to worry. “If you wear long clothes like this, you can also see the effect of blocking out the sunlight.”
“But why is everyone looking at us? embarrassing.”
What the granddaughter said was true. Everyone they met on the street glanced at them. And that too with strange eyes.
“I guess it’s because I’m a foreigner. Or are you looking at Seol because she’s pretty?”
This was not a granddaughter who would be let off so easily.
Yu Seol grabbed the grandfather’s sleeve and pulled him.
“I can’t do it. “Let’s buy some clothes too.”
“Why the clothes? “Why are you leaving such high-class clothes behind and buying clothes that look like straw?”
Even as he said that, he was being pulled in the direction of the market.
Fortunately, there were quite a few street vendors selling clothes on the streets.
“Grandpa, choose what you like. “I’ll buy it for you.”
It was a face that seemed to show kindness.
Because Yoo Seol took the purse given to him by Eun Hwa Rin of the Black Night Room, he did not have a single penny in his hands.
“How much is in it?”
“huh? what?”
“This is the bag given to me by Heukyabang.”
At that moment, a meaningful smile appeared on Yu Seol’s face.
“curious? “Grandpa said he wasn’t interested in these things.”
“When did Halaebi become like that?”
“It was said that a true warrior should stay away from wealth. “Grandpa is a warrior, so this is all mine.”
Yu Jin-san was so dumbfounded that he let out a laugh.
He thought for a moment about what to say, but then spoke with desperation.
“Okay, feel free to do whatever you want. I’m also curious about the expenses. “When will we spend all that money and become beggars?”
I was planning to leave it alone and watch.
It wasn’t because it was annoying. Managing your own funds can also be a good experience. There was no problem.
After a while, their footsteps stopped in front of a stall.
Light and breathable clothes were displayed on the stalls.
Among them, Yoo Seol chose one suit.
“How about this? “Will it suit me well?”
It was a cool cotton garment sold as one set, top and bottom.
The pants were short, ending just above the knees, and the top was cut near the shoulders.
Jinsan Yu, who looked for a moment, tilted his head slightly.
‘It looks like something boys would wear... I guess it doesn’t matter.’
No matter how hot the region is, women usually wear long skirts or thin pants.
But what about anyone?
It was a yin-yang monster that did not care at all about what others thought.
“It would suit you very well. “The size is just right.”
“Hehe. Wait a minute. “I’ll pick something for you too.”
Soon after, Yoo Seol picked up another set of clothes and put them on the grandfather’s body.
Jinsan Yu seemed to not like it very much. This is because it was not a type of clothing that had been worn before.
“It’s the same one you chose.”
“no. The colors are different. how is it? Do you like it?”
Jin-san Yu nodded with the intention that whatever would happen would happen. Because the other clothes weren’t that different anyway.
“Okay, buy it.”
Yu Seol, who was in a good mood, looked at the owner of the street vendor with a bright expression.
“how much is this?”
She was a middle-aged woman with a warm appearance.
“The best spear in Shaanxi? Hey... that’s a lie, right?”
“Huh!? Didn’t you see it at the spear competition? “If you don’t believe me, check with the guys at Heukyabang later.”
The nickname “The Best Spear in Shaanxi” was not a lie.
Of course, there was an unspeakable story behind it.
At that time, there were many drummers stronger than Yujinsan in Shaanxi. It was a special title that he was able to obtain simply because there were not many competitors who used spears as their main weapon.
In any case, it was a memory full of pride for him.
At that time, Yoo Seol crossed her arms around her grandfather and leaned her face against him. It seemed like he was trying to lighten the mood.
“As expected, my grandpa is cool~”
“When do you say you don’t believe me?”
“Hehehe.”
It was when Yoo Seol was smiling awkwardly.
Quang-!!
Someone’s new model took off with a dull roar.
He was a white-robed swordsman who introduced himself as Im Pyeong-su.
It was as if the game had been decided with this one move. Because he lost his mind in the air.
However, his new form, which was flying, happened to be hitting the yin-yang twin monster.
It looked like it was crossing directly between the two.
Yu Jin-san slightly twisted his upper body to avoid it, but Yu Seol did not even move. It seemed like they would accept him.
Up!
Lim Pyeong-su, who was flying furiously, landed lightly, like a butterfly landing.
Only Yu Seol’s palm was gently placed on his back.
Sighs poured out from all around as if they had been waiting.
“This can’t be right.”
“I can’t believe that even Daehyeop Lim suffered....”
“Damn it.”
Was their reaction annoying? Gu Yang-ho, who had won, looked around the crowd and spoke softly.
“Make your mouth ripe. “Before I kill you.”
The surroundings suddenly became quiet.
No one could make eye contact with him. This may be due to the overwhelming difference in martial arts.
There was literally no such thing as a tyrant.
Jinsan Yu clicked his tongue and watched leisurely.
‘It looks like the power of the Murim Alliance or the Four Sisters is out of reach here. ‘Seeing what a bastard like that can do.’
But I had no intention of getting involved in something that had nothing to do with me.
When the surroundings became quiet, Gu Yang-ho approached Lim Pyeong-su with his sword lowered.
“You have to pay the price if you don’t know the topic, right?”
He slowly raised the sword he was holding.
He must have been a doctor who was determined to kill Lim Pyeong-su, who fainted.
Usually, when something like this happens, there is one of two things.
A relationship of extreme resentment with the other person. Or someone who is intentionally trying to gain notoriety.
It seemed to everyone that it was the latter.
“Dae Daehyeop....”
“There’s no need to go that far, right?”
Those who watched were saddened, but no one came forward.
Except for one person.
Yu Seol’s eyes, revealed beneath the straw hat, glared at him.
“Isn’t that too much? “You already won.”
“If you don’t get out of the way, I’ll cut you down too.”
Ouyangho’s eyes were full of murder.
It seemed like he had decided to kill Lim Pyeong-su somehow.
“no, I do not want.”
He made an expression of discomfort at the reflexive retort.
“This is your final warning, so get out of here quickly. “I don’t regard them as children.”
This was not a rumor to be feared. Instead, I glared at him.
“Mister, don’t tell me to do this or that. all right?”
As the atmosphere became increasingly hostile, Jinsan Yu, who had been watching silently, stepped forward.
“Why are you trying to gain notoriety like that? The game is already over, so stop. If you want to end it here, we will not intervene and just leave.”
Was it because Yu Jin-san’s tone of voice, which seemed to be admonishing, was annoying?
Ouyang Hao’s eyebrows twitched fearfully.
“...Where on earth did these kids come from?”
His palm went like a thunderbolt toward Yu Jin-san’s cheek. It was a movement so strong that a person who was not familiar with martial arts would break their neck bones.
But his palm stopped in midair.
Up!
Goo Yang-ho, whose wrist was grabbed, had an expression of disbelief.
Yu Jin-san spoke softly to him who was embarrassed.
“I thought he was an experienced friend, but he turned out to be a kid with no sense at all.”
“Ugh!”
A moan came out of Gu Yang-ho’s mouth. This is because Yu Jin-san, who grabbed his wrist, put strength on his fingers.
“Have you ever heard this? In the martial arts world, it means to be careful with women, the elderly, and children.”
“...?”
“You have touched all three at once.”
