Chapter 552 - The death penalty is as good as killing me!

 

 

 

 

 

 

A month passed.

 

In the meantime, wild beasts appeared in Sanyin County on an average of once every three days.

 

But fortunately, all of them were 'vegetable grade', so there was no difficulty in repelling them.

 

In that fight, Jeong Deok-haeng always stood at the forefront.

 

Of course, it is not arbitrary.

 

Jeong Deok-haeng was put in front of the 'vegetable tree' beast.

 

Jeong Deok-haeng was in danger of dying almost every time, and whenever that happened, he urinated.

 

 

 

Jeong Deok-haeng's house.

 

It's time for Jung Deok-haeng to get up from his bed after breakfast.

 

His father, Jeong Won-young, who was drinking sungnyung to satisfy his appetite, asked with a disapproving face.

 

“Are you joining the vigilante today?”

 

“… … yes."

 

Jeong Deok-haeng, who hesitated, answered with a crawling sound.

 

“How long are you planning to work as a vigilante?”

 

“It will disintegrate when the snow melts.”

 

"You're going to stay there until the vigilantes disband?"

 

“I want to quit too, but… … .”

 

"ha! Let's ask Kim who spoke. Have you ever done anything to dislike him?”

 

“Not at all. Not to mention I hate him, I've never spoken to him before.”

 

“Then why are you bothering me? There is no one in Sanyin County who does not know your story. My friends say that you must have done something wrong to Yeonjeokha. Doesn't bully Huturu people because they don't prioritize the authority of rivalry? He constantly torments you, and people say you caused it. Have you ever slandered him at a drinking party? Maybe that's why you can't remember?"

 

“Father, I have never really been open-mouthed about jeokha. It was the first time we met at a restaurant a month ago.”

 

“If so, who is the jeokha acquaintance?”

 

“Are you familiar?”

 

“Isn't there someone you know, too? Who are his acquaintances?”

 

“Aside from leader Gong Ji-seop and his crew, I don’t have any personal connections that can be called acquaintances.”

 

“Have you ever quarreled with them?”

 

“Sibi. Leader Gong and most of his teammates are students from Lee University. All of them are my superiors, so how could that be possible... … .”

 

Suddenly thinking of Gong Ji-yu, Jeong Deok-haeng frowned.

 

Of course, it is close to speculation, but if she is also an acquaintance of a younger brother, it is because he is an acquaintance.

 

"why? Does anyone come to mind?”

 

“Notice reason… … .”

 

“Have you done anything wrong to that child?”

 

“Wasn’t Gong Ji-yu captured by Jeok-an-geum-jeo a month ago?”

 

"so?"

 

“I had a conversation with the priests about Yeon Jeok-ha’s rescue of Gong Ji-yu.”

 

“What were you talking about?”

 

“Since Gong Ji-yu and Jeok-an-geum-jeo had been alone for a time (2 hours), marriage would be difficult... … . That's all. But that was because I was worried.”

 

“Curm! You may have said it out of concern, but it may sound like an insult to someone.”

 

Jeong Won-yeong rubbed her temples with her fingers as if she was in pain.

 

It's my child, but that was just gossip no matter who heard it.

 

“Did it sound like you were hurting your father too?”

 

“Dude, I am your father. My position is not important right now. You have to think from Gong Ji-yu’s point of view.”

 

“So, are you saying that this is what I said about Gong Ji-yu?”

 

“Not necessarily. But it would be better to sort things out one by one.”

 

“Remedy? Are you sure you are saying to go and apologize to Gong Ji-yu?”

 

"or not? Keep peeing until the snow melts? These days, because of you, I can’t carry my face.”

 

“… … .”

 

Jeong Deok-haeng's face turned red.

 

She seems to have reached the end of her patience as the pee story finally comes out of her father's mouth.

 

 

 

***

 

 

 

Around lunchtime that day, Jeong Deok-haeng called Gong Ji-yu to a teahouse near the east gate.

 

When the clerk returned after serving the tea, Gong Ji-yu asked directly.

 

“Why did you ask to see me?”

 

“Why, he did it because he wanted to have a cup of tea after a long time.”

 

Even in the midst of this, Jeong Deok-haeng still boasted in front of Gong Ji-yu.

 

To him, women were meant to support men.

 

“Long time no see? I've never had tea with Brother Jung. If you have something to say, please do so quickly. I'm a bit busy.”

 

Gong Ji-yu stared at Jeong Deok-haeng without even touching the car.

 

In fact, I accepted his invitation because I felt sorry for him who was being criticized for being a mannequin.

 

If he refused even that, he reluctantly accepted it, looking as if he would pierce his nose somewhere and die.

 

But he was dumbfounded when he said it as if he were close friends.

 

“What are you busy doing in the winter? It's not like they're preparing to get married.”

 

“… … .”

 

Gong Ji-yu's stomach was boiling, but he held it in.

 

“Here, death penalty.”

 

"why?"

 

“Isn’t the brother-in-law and I the type of person who would be able to talk leisurely over a cup of tea?”

 

“Is it because of that incident three years ago?”

 

“Do you remember what happened in Garisan?”

 

“How could I forget that? Even if it wasn't, I always wanted to apologize to the sister-in-law.”

 

“Oh, did you?”

 

Gong Ji-yu completely emptied his sympathy for him.

 

Come to think of it, he was a man who had fled, abandoning himself in front of an excited beast.

 

“The reason I asked to see the sister-in-law today was actually for a different reason.”

 

“What is it?”

 

A bitter smile spread across Gong Ji-yu's face.

 

It seems that what happened three years ago will fade away with the words, “I was thinking of apologizing.”

 

“A month ago, she was dragged away by me as a sister-in-law.”

 

“So what?”

 

Gong Ji-yu had no idea what the relationship between the incident and Jeong Deok-ha was.

 

“At that time, I was worried about the sister-in-law, so I gave her a bit of a cub, but she seemed to have reached her grandparents’ ears.”

 

“Why is the Yeondaehyeop coming out again?”

 

Gong Ji-yu tilted his head.

 

What does Jeong Deok-haeng's cubic pavilion have to do with Yeondaehyeop?

 

Only then did Jeong Deok-haeng speak with an embarrassed face.

 

“First of all, I said it because I was worried about the sister-in-law, so I hope you will listen without misunderstanding.”

 

“What did you say?”

 

Gong Ji-yu's fine army slightly frowned.

 

It doesn't sound like a good thing to see you start with excuses like that.

 

“‘Wouldn’t it be difficult to get married since Jeok An-geum-jeo and the sister-in-law have been together for a while… … .’ I had a conversation with the priests. I said it because I was worried about the sister-in-law, so don't misunderstand. You know that I liked Samae, right?”

 

“I know. On the day she said she liked it, the one who ran away alone in front of the beast was the death penalty.”

 

“Yeah, that was just to let others know. Master Chen did that. We have to come together and hold on.”

 

“Before that, you also said that being considerate of alumni is the most important thing.”

 

“Anyway, I said this because I was really worried about the sister-in-law about what happened a month ago.”

 

“Worry… … .”

 

Gong Ji-yu, who was muttering to himself, suddenly splashed tea water on Jeong Deok-haeng's face.

 

“Oops! Float, float, float... … .”

 

Jeong Deok-haeng jumped up from his seat and trembled.

 

A startled clerk came running with a dry rag.

 

Jeong Deok-haeng roughly wiped the water off his face and upper body with the cloth the clerk gave him.

 

“What are you doing dangerously! You almost got burned!”

 

"That's too bad. Didn't you speak a little faster? If I did, I would have been burned for sure.”

 

“… … .”

 

Jeong Deok-haeng, who was glaring at Gong Ji-yu as if he were going to eat him, sat down again.

 

No matter how angry I was, I had to finish the story I brought out well.

 

"ha! good. Are you free now?”

 

"well. The death penalty tore my life to shreds with three tongues. On the other hand, death penalty is all about being covered with tea water. Do you think my anger will be resolved?”

 

“Tea water is everything? Can't you see I'm being shamed to death?”

 

“What shame? Aha, are you peeing? what does that have to do with me... … What?”

 

Gong Ji-yu's eyes shook slightly.

 

It seemed that he now knew why Jeong Deok-haeng had summoned him.

 

Did Yeon Jeok-ha really listen to Jeong Deok-haeng?

 

It was out of the blue, but it wasn't completely outrageous.

 

It was after that incident a month ago that the two of them joined the vigilante group.

 

In an instant, Gong Ji-yu's eyes went cold.

 

It wasn't someone else, but it was inevitable that such an obscene sound entered the ears of the younger brother.

 

Jeong Deok-haeng, who was examining her complexion, spoke cautiously.

 

“I think the reason Yeondaehyeop bothers me is because of you. There is no reason other than that.”

 

“So?”

 

“My father said so. Even if I said something because I was worried, it could be heard as bad news. Still, I think you paid enough for this, don’t you?”

 

“You are very generous with yourself. Is it enough to kill someone and pee a few times?”

 

“Who did I kill?”

 

"It's me. The death penalty is as good as killing me!”

 

“I understand that Sister-in-law is angry. But I'm not alone in saying that. Even now, I hear all the stars behind my back. But why am I the only one suffering?”

 

“Think of it as just selling it.”

 

“Where do you find such irresponsible words?”

 

“Among many people, I was the only one who was taken by Jeok An Geum Jeo. The death penalty is the same as I was on that day.”

 

“But the sister-in-law was released from Jeok-an-geum-jeo. Release me from the hands of the Yeondaehyeop. please."

 

“Do you really think that the Yeon Daehyeop is doing this because of that?”

 

“Besides that, it’s because I haven’t done anything worthy of being stamped on by the Daehyeop I opened.”

 

Gong Ji-yu was sweet at the same time as her heart ached as if she was about to die.

 

She was happy that Yeonjeokha was angry for her.

 

And she wanted to inform Jeong Deok-haeng.

 

She knows that she is not a woman who can be trampled on like that.

 

“jeokha is for doing something wrong to me, but you are trying to get forgiveness from Yeon Dae-hyeop?”

 

“I explained that I didn’t say it to imitate you.”

 

Gong Ji-yu shook her head excitedly.

 

Jeong Deok-haeng is always like that.

 

She always speaks as if she were a king, and makes excuses even when she makes mistakes.

 

She didn't know that it was an apology either three years ago or now.

 

“I said what to do to be busy in winter? Are you preparing to get married? We'll tell you why we're busy. Like the brother-in-law three years ago, I am also preparing for Soyojong’s ‘Biseungwahae’. It's my turn this time. The death penalty was like that three years ago, right? Even if he became So-yo-jong's disciple, it wouldn't change. me too. Even if I become So-jong’s disciple, I will not forget what brother-in-law Jeong did.”

 

"yes, Are you going to ‘Biseungwahae’?”

 

"is it so. Since the death penalty comes after the death penalty, next spring it will be my turn to go.”

 

“Hmm, that’s right. Can a woman go all the way to the mountain by herself? It is not an easy road even for a man.”

 

“Do you say something that the female students of the Soyao School would really like to hear? You know that there are quite a few women among the disciples of Soyojong, right?”

 

“No, of course I know. I was talking about you, not them. Oh, I'm not doing this because I'm ignoring you, so don't get me wrong. I just said it because I was worried.”

 

"i know. Anything you say to me is a misunderstanding. Now I know for sure.”

 

"what?"

 

“The death penalty asked three years ago, right? If you don't like the death penalty, why do you hate it? At the time, I just thought I didn't like it, but now I get it. Would you like to hear the reason?”

 

"What?"

 

“The first is to look down on others without knowing your subject matter. The second is not being able to apologize even after making a mistake. Thirdly, the shamelessness of listening to such a voice as if it were someone else's story. I hate that.”

 

“… … misunderstood.”

 

Gong Yoo stood up from his seat.

 

“Yes, I will tell you that it is all a misunderstanding. I don't want to leave my revenge in anyone's hands either. Of course, I don’t know if the Yeondaehyeop is really doing that.”

 

Gong Ji-yu bowed her head to Jeong Deok-haeng and left the teahouse.

 

Jeong Deok-haeng, who was sitting quietly, murmured.

 

“It's Sister Gong's turn? To represent Hyeoncheonmun, you must have virtue... … . That's not it.”
