Chapter 178 -  The one who flies above the one who jumps

 

 

Yan Zihe and Gu Tiannu, who were hesitating, also hinted at Shen Tong.

 

“As you can see, guesthouses are inherently expensive. Here too, the request for 20,000 nyang was only met with 12,000 nyang. No matter where you go, you can't buy a guest cup with 12,000 nyang. I don't know if it's in the mountains or in the desert.”

 

Yeonjeokha and Heartache did not refute.

 

He had been visiting the guesthouses all afternoon, so he could get a rough idea of the market price.

 

Heartache released his hand from his temple.

 

His face, freed from agony, shone as if he had been liberated.

 

Greening does not think long.

 

Surprise attacks and robberies are always accompanied by counterattacks, so a moment's judgment determines life or death.

 

If you live such a life for a long time, you will spontaneously decide everything. It is made into a person who is quick to make decisions and has strong momentum.

 

The heartache was a typical greening degree.

 

'Even if it's dirty, let's admit it. With the money of Confucius and I, we can only buy a guest cup of this level. Let's at least make Confucius' dreams come true.'

 

I know, of course, that the guesthouse sucks.

 

Shouldn't that be enough for him to give up his base run for the time being?

 

This is the best for now, and the later work can be solved at that time.

 

“Confucius.”

 

Yeon Jeok-ha, seeing the heartache in his eyes, shook his head.

 

“Don’t say anything.”

 

“Don’t you know that you shouldn’t put off until tomorrow what needs to be done now?”

 

“You don’t have to do it now.”

 

“If you find a place to stay, you can continue loafing in the future. It's a room, so you can buy someone to clean it.”

 

“Old Sim. Are you serious? Does that sound come from looking at this inn?”

 

“It is meaningful to have a guest cup, which is the dream of Confucius. What is the status? Isn’t the inn the whole of Confucius’ life?”

 

The words went in a slightly strange direction, but somehow I could understand the relationship.

 

Come to think of it, the guesthouse is not all of him.

 

Gaekjan is just an auxiliary means to let oneself play and eat.

 

The matchmaker looked around him once again.

 

The dirty and dingy interior and the musty smell were still there, but the impact was less.

 

“… … .”

 

Heartache knew that Yeonjeokha was in conflict.

 

He has thin ears, so if you add a few words, he will follow you even if you don't want to.

 

Heartache turned his head to his master.

 

“If there are any advantages of this inn, tell me.”

 

“The only inn that is three feet away from the Yellow River is our inn. During the day, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Yellow River, and at night, you can relax while listening to the babbling sound of the water. Besides, since it is in a secluded place, the black island doesn't even come to the breakwater to collect protection money.”

 

In fact, the water color of the Yellow River is turbid, so it is far from being beautiful.

 

In addition, the place where the inn is located is in the rapids area, so you should hear a louder sound than that of 'rippling'.

 

And it's a place where guests don't come in enough to give up on black island and breakwater.

 

The janitor chimed in.

 

“If you look at the scenery of the water mist rising in the morning, you will automatically say that it is really excellent.”

 

It is true that it is only possible to see it when the muddy water is covered with water fog. However, with that much fog, you can't see ahead, so it's useless. Of course, foreigners can't even think of such a thing.

 

His initial obstinate momentum was abandoned.

 

My heart weakened as I heard the story of heartache, the owner of the inn, and the merchant.

 

I also think that with that level of strength, I can overcome dirt.

 

"ha! Old Sim, let’s stay for a night and then talk again.”

 

“It is. Prepare two clean rooms. And will you stay here too?”

 

At the heartache question, the giant nodded.

 

“Yes, it is late at night, so I think it would be better to stay overnight. Don't worry about my expenses. This place is cheap, so it doesn't matter if you stay for a few days.”

 

"i get it. Let's talk again tomorrow morning. By the way, the owner?”

 

"yes?"

 

“We haven't had dinner yet. Do you want to eat?”

 

“It's a little difficult right now because we've run out of fresh ingredients. Can I buy it for you in the morning and make it for you?”

 

"I'm not asking you to cook great food. It doesn't matter if it's just a simple piece of noodles. You can't sleep on an empty stomach, can you? Get ready and put it up.”

 

“Ah, yes. If that's enough, I'll do it right away.”

 

The owner, who was trying to rest because he was bothered, quickly changed his posture at the command of heartache. It's because I don't think I'll give up until I put something in my mouth.

 

After a while, the owner brought out three bowls if he had a small chance.

 

The rich broth made from pork and lamb backbones was well-balanced with baby palm-sized pieces of noodles and vegetables.

 

He brought out a piece of steaming noodles and vegetables.

 

The vegetables wilted as the owner said, but I didn't mind because they were boiled in meat broth anyway.

 

He went all afternoon looking at the inn, so it went down his throat.

 

After the meal, the courier followed the owner up to the second floor of the inn.

 

Yeonjeokha muttered while drinking tea.

 

“I don’t know if I am good at it.”

 

"Do not worry. You are doing well. I think I just need to call a skilled hostess.”

 

“Still, would it be better than obong sanchae?”

 

“Oops! Of course not. Where are the wild vegetables where people live? If I were to become an inn owner, everyone would be clamoring for going down from the mountain.”

 

“It does.”

 

To the bandits, ‘Do you want to be the owner of the inn? Would you like to stay in a mountain house?

 

After flirting for a while, the two went upstairs after being guided by the owner.

 

Yeon Jeok-ha's expression as he entered the room was calm.

 

The room was in a slightly better condition than when I first saw it. No, maybe I got used to it and felt that way.

 

 

 

the next morning.

 

As soon as I opened my eyes, I went outside.

 

It is to make sure that the scenery is excellent, as the owner and the merchant said.

 

"Oh oh!"

 

It seems that the sky helped the owner of the inn.

 

The view of the riverside, with the water mist slightly rising over the river, was superb.

 

It was as if clouds were swirling around the side of the inn.

 

While walking along the riverside, I came across a huge rock.

 

It resembled the rock that I used to practice sitting on the first peak of Obongsan Mountain.

 

I feel a strange connection.

 

He flung himself over the rocks.

 

Standing on the rock, I could see water mist flowing down about three feet (about 9 meters).

 

The sound of the water was loud under the rocks, probably because it was where the rapids collided. Apparently, this is the epicenter of the sound I heard last night.

 

The back was hidden by a thick forest, making it seem like you were in a deep forest.

 

He stood there for a while, lost in his thoughts.

 

To be honest, the guest cup didn't matter.

 

It's important that you don't spend the money you've saved up, and that you can continue to do nothing in the future. Gaekjan was just one way to satisfy all of them.

 

“Gongja-nim, you came out early. How is it? As I said, the scenery is excellent, right?”

 

When Yeonjeokha looked down, there was a giant man standing there.

 

"Yes. I like the outside scenery much more than the inn.”

 

“Well, because it is. There is no guest cup available at such a low price. Buy it and you will never regret it. It's because the previous owner was lazy, but if you work hard, you'll soon come to a place where you can make money.”

 

I laughed at him.

 

He doesn't live to make money, but in the eyes of the merchant, it must have seemed that way.

 

Yeonjeokha turned his gaze back to the river.

 

The giant looked at Yeonjeokha standing on the ‘Suicide Rock’ for a while, then quietly turned around.

 

I wonder if it's been around 20 minutes (about 20 minutes)?

 

Yeonjeokha, who was watching the scenery, came down from the rock and walked to the inn.

 

When I entered the inn, people were already gathered in one place.

 

Yeonjeokha, who liked the scenery around the inn, did not oppose it anymore.

 

After that, it was a breeze.

 

After a while, Shen Tong respectfully presented the contract signed by the owner to Yan Zihe.

 

I folded the contract for the relationship and put it in my arms.

 

It was the moment when he owned something for the first time after his hair grew, so his heart was touched.

 

The inn's former owner bowed his head.

 

"Congratulations. Confucius. Now that you're the owner, I won't charge you for last night's accommodation. I hope your business goes well and makes a lot of money.”

 

“You are going down to your hometown? Good luck on your long journey.”

 

“Then I will leave. I sent my family first and I was the only one left, but now I feel free.”

 

“Elder, Confucius, I also want to go. If you need any help, please contact us anytime.”

 

The broker, who received a separate fee from Shen Tong, also stood up.

 

Soon after, the former owner and the merchant said goodbye and left.

 

I went out to the entrance of the inn and saw them off by the duty of the owner of the match.

 

I only sent two people, but suddenly it feels like the inn is empty.

 

In fact, empty was not an exaggeration.

 

Because there were no outsiders except Yeonjeokha and Simtong.

 

When the former owner and the merchant disappeared from sight, they entered the inn where they were dating.

 

“Old Sim, what are we going to do now?”

 

“Of course, I have to go to Gaebongseong and find a skilled hostess.”

 

“Do you have any money left?”

 

I don't know how to hire a sooksu when I've robbed my entire property of 12,000 nyang.

 

“Heh heh. Who am I? There's nothing wrong with people like that. I said it was 12,000 nyang in preparation for price bargaining. I thought it would cost money to operate the inn, so I left out 500 nyang separately.”

 

"Oh oh! good job. After all, he is an old man.”

 

The complexion of Yeonjeokha brightened.

 

With 500 nyang, you could hire a master and run it stably for several years.

 

 

 

Meanwhile, the faces of the merchant and the former owner of the inn, who were on their way to Gaebaeseong, twitched.

 

The giant, the bull, burst into laughter first.

 

“Puhaha! What kind of hoax is this? Twelve thousand? Is this a dream or is it real?”

 

The former owner of the inn, Seokin, asked the bull with a sly face.

 

“Hyung hyung, what should I do with small ginseng?”

 

"what? What do you mean by that?”

 

“If the three of you divide 12,000 nyang, it’s 4,000 nyang in front of one person. But if you divide it between the two, it's 6,000 nyang. I don't care anyway, so the choice is up to you.”

 

For an instant, the bull's eyes shook.

 

The three of them, himself, Seokin, and Sosam, lived together and cheated.

 

But now In suggested that Sosam be thrown away.

 

Sosam, the youngest of Hagisa, is a person worthy of being discarded. That's because it was easy to find anywhere you went.

 

The bull's troubles did not last long.

 

“Shall we open the door like this?”

 

"also! You do not disappoint my expectations. Since I said that my hometown is Jeongju, I could just leave out Jeongju. Where shall we go and live with great pride? blessing? Hello?”

 

“All it takes is Jeongju!”

 

The bull, who had been giggling for a while, said as if he had suddenly remembered.

 

“By the way, they seem like Moorim people, right?”

 

“This man. Did we eat the Murim people for a day or two? What are you worried about? They said they only had shit in their heads. Think of that old man, who bluffed that he was a Murim person. They can't find us for the rest of our lives. The world is so wide, how can you find it? After a few years, they will forget our faces too?”

 

“Is that right? If it's 6,000 nyang, I'll be able to play and eat for the rest of my life. What do you do with this money?”

 

“If you don’t have anything to settle, build an inn in a small village.”

 

“Oops! Don't even mention the guest cup. By the way, who is the owner of that inn? do you know?”

 

“I don’t know. What do you know? It was an inn that had been left without an owner for years.”

 

“It will be worth seeing when the real owner returns.”

 

“That old man from earlier would wear out the opening door with a fake contract. I need to see that too. It sucks.”

 

As the stone man licked his lips in regret, the bull shook his head.

 

“You really are a bad guy.”

 

"hey! Hwang-hyung, let’s not spit while lying down.”

 

The two swindlers, who were giggling, turned east when the road forked.
