Episode 251: My granddaughter is popular (1)
“Is there a way to get into Haereung Island? “What on earth is that?”
A young martial artist with a dark face stepped forward.
“Some of us were fishermen before becoming martial people. “It means you can drive the boat yourself.”
“Are you saying you can give me a ride nearby?”
“yes. “It won’t be difficult to find a sea route, so all you have to do is rent a boat.”
I never thought things would turn out so smoothly. Eugene San’s dark face quickly brightened.
“Thank you. “I don’t know how to repay you for this.”
As he spoke shyly, the martial arts people hurriedly waved their hands.
“You mean repayment? “It’s not even possible.”
“The warrior dragon is the enemy of all of us.”
“We should be thankful that they came from far away to help us.”
Their faces showed sincerity.
That’s how much resentment everyone in this area must have had towards him.
“Then do me a favor. “We will provide the funds.”
“yes. Please wait a moment. “It won’t take long.”
Soon after, several Murim people moved to negotiate with the fishermen.
The rest of the people gathered in one place and waited.
Now all that’s left is to wait.
Eugene San walked along the coast alone with his back in his arms. It was to get some air and organize my thoughts.
‘Haereungdo is not an ordinary island. ‘What on earth is going on there?’
It was clear that he was doing something bad. My intuition was telling me so.
I didn’t know what it was, but I had a bad feeling.
His eyes slowly sank as he looked at the horizon.
‘You’ll find out soon. ‘Why is that place called Hell Road?’
His head slowly turned to the right.
The Murim people who had gone to rescue the boat were seen negotiating with the fishermen. Judging by the expression on his face, it seemed like everything was going well.
He looked to the left again with a lighter heart.
I saw the side profile of my granddaughter playing with the martial arts people.
‘What a guy. ‘I’m popular wherever I go.’
What was so funny was that I was surrounded by martial arts people and laughing.
Curious as to what was going on, he walked towards the place and listened to the conversation.
“You are truly amazing, Eumkai Daehyeop.”
“How are you so strong in martial arts?”
The corners of Yoo Seol’s mouth gradually rose.
I can’t help but feel good when people around me show it off.
“Hi-Hi. “I trained hard.”
At that time, the sharp-looking martial artist put his hands together and cautiously opened his mouth.
“Daehyup. I haven’t made any progress since two years. “No matter how much I practice, nothing changes, so why on earth is that so?”
Yu Seol looked him up and down.
Then she quickly grabbed his wrist.
Up!
“...?”
Just when the martial arts people were confused by the sudden action.
Yu Seol was checking his physical condition by inserting a true energy into his wrist.
One more breath had passed.
“Have you ever suffered an internal injury?”
“That’s right. “I was seriously injured a few years ago.”
Yoo Seol grinned and said, as if she finally understood the meaning.
“It’s because my blood pressure is very damaged. “Because Iljucheon does not work properly, my energy does not build up in the Danjeon.”
“Then what should I do?”
“Just stay still. “I will help you.”
“...yes?”
After finishing speaking, Yu Seol spread both hands left and right.
Then the new model of the martial artist standing in front spun half a circle.
“omg!”
Just as everyone was taking a step back with surprised looks on their faces.
Suddenly, Yu Seol’s hands began to beat frantically on his back.
Damn it! Damn it!
It was moving so fast that I couldn’t even see my hand.
This strange method of treatment did not take long.
After a while, Yoo Seol finished his work and waved one hand.
Then the martial artist in front of me turned half a circle again and showed a surprised face.
“how is it?”
“My body has become a lot lighter!”
Early morning the next day.
At the dock, a group of people were rushing to prepare for departure.
The boat was a small to medium-sized boat that could accommodate about twenty people.
“What’s wrong with everyone? “There’s no need to follow me.”
Yu Jin-san looked at the surrounding martial arts people with an expression of incomprehension. This is because they insisted on seeing them off by boat.
“Please allow me to go with you only as far as the vicinity.”
“That way, we will feel at ease, sir.”
“Please do me a favor.”
Their tone of voice became a little more polite.
This is because we became closer friends while drinking at the guesthouse all night long.
“Can you say that even after looking at the condition of that ship? “If you go, you could sink and die.”
The ship was built so old that it had many rotted parts and severe cracks.
Even if a problem were to arise, he and his granddaughter would somehow escape, but their lives could not be guaranteed.
But no matter how much I tried to stop them, everyone remained firm.
“Isn’t it loyalty!”
“Do not worry. “All of us southern guys are good swimmers.”
“You can swim for two days!”
Last night, I heard at the guesthouse that countless southern warriors were killed by warrior dragons. Among them were their brother-in-law, their masters, and even their master.
Im Pyeong-su even said that his own brother went missing on Haereung Island.
Since I knew the reason well, I couldn’t stop him any further.
Yu Jin-san sighed and muttered.
“Instead, when returning to port, it is a condition to return without saying anything.”
We were planning to part ways at sea near Haereung Island anyway.
When permission was given, everyone cheered and loved it.
“Thank you, old man!”
“Do not worry!”
But the joy is short-lived. A person on a ship preparing to set sail frowned and shouted.
“There was a big problem. “The rudder is broken!”
It is a device that adjusts the direction in which a burning ship moves. It was impossible to set sail without repairs.
“How long will it take to repair?”
“The bottom plate has to be removed, so we have to leave it to the shipyard. “It will probably take ten days.”
The atmosphere calmed down in an instant.
Yujinsan was so dumbfounded that he almost collapsed.
When there was silence for a moment, my granddaughter’s voice came from somewhere.
“Grandpa!”
When I looked up, I saw Yuseol perched on the mast like a sparrow.
It looked like it was extending its index finger towards somewhere.
It was a signal to look there.
“...?”
Even if it wasn’t, I could feel something behind me.
When I looked back at the place my granddaughter pointed to, I saw a group of people running towards this place.
Their number was as many as hundreds.
They were heavily armed soldiers with swords, shields, and bows.
The general at the front, wearing a helmet with red tassels, shouted angrily.
“Stop!”
Yu Jin-san guessed the reason why the government troops were flocking.
I heard from Eunhwarin of Heukyabang that the government army is blockading the island. Therefore, it would be natural to control the entry and exit of civilian vessels.
It seemed like someone among the fishermen had reported it.
The Murim people looked at Yujin Mountain in confusion.
“What should I do, old man?”
Yu Jin-san slightly raised one hand. It meant not to make a fuss.
Wasn’t he the yin-yang twin monster who didn’t even blink an eye in the face of the golden army guarding the capital? There was no reason to be afraid of local government forces.
The warriors lined up around him and formed a battle formation.
Soon after, the general of the government army who arrived ahead drew his sword and shouted.
“You guys! “I came here knowing that you were planning to approach Haereung Island!”
As tensions grew in the standoff, Jinsan Yu stepped forward and spoke.
“I heard that the military has made many attempts to subdue Haereung Island, but they have failed every time. “Is that true?”
It was a very humiliating thing for the government officials.
Even the martial arts people could not tolerate such provocations.
“A guy who doesn’t even have blood on his head dares...”
The general who was walking towards him suddenly stopped in shock.
This was because Yu Jin-san radiated momentum towards him.
“We can kill the warrior dragon. “If you could give me some support.”
The general who led the government army actually snorted.
It seemed like he couldn’t believe it at all.
“This is not a guy like you guys can deal with. Arrest him!”
