Chapter 85 - swordsman
Lim Ji-ryeong, who was standing in a daze with a surprised face, soon came to her senses and spoke to her son.
“Go out and find Hee-yeon and bring her back. and… … Please come inside.”
As she went outside, she glanced back at her.
Poongyeoncho carefully took off her shoes on her stone and entered the room.
Tak Go-myeong did not follow his brother-in-law and sat on the veranda without notice.
Poongyeon Cho, who sat in front of Lim Ji-ryeong, bowed his head.
"sorry. I think it's cheap no matter what you say. But if you excuse me... … .”
"i know. That there was no other way. Even after that, the families of those who had died for a long time came to visit and did things. If you were there, you would have been beaten to death or taken by the government office.”
Poongyeoncho scratched his head.
There are many people who have died from eating nonsense, so if they were taken to the government office, they would have died.
"Still, did you manage to find me?"
“I went to the house where I used to live and heard from a neighbor who remembered me. He went into the house of Jang Moon-ho, a draper merchant, five years ago.”
Lim Ji-ryeong stared at the Poongyeoncho.
“It happened. But you are better than before.”
"uh? okay? You look better than when you lived with me.”
After talking, Poongyeoncho thought, ‘Oops’.
You look better than when you lived with me! What kind of idiotic sound is that?
Poongyeoncho hurriedly continued.
“Me, I came to see if you were doing well. There is no other meaning, so don't be burdened. I will never resent you because I abandoned you and ran away.”
“What do you resent?”
“Even if you became Mr. Jang's concubine, I do not resent you. It must have been difficult to raise two children alone. I thought I might have starved to death.”
I saw many corpses who died of starvation while wandering begging.
It was difficult to be sure what would have happened if he hadn't climbed the mountain himself. You don't have to say anything to know what the situation was like for the two children and the wife left behind.
“What are you talking about? I made a living by helping with kitchen work and sewing for hire. Then she happened to meet her older sister who grew up in her village. At the recommendation of her older sister, she came to live with her while helping her work at the clothing store.”
“So, then, you didn’t re-apply?”
"yes."
Lim Ji-ryeong answered firmly.
She has no children with Shim Ji-yeon, the wife of Jang Moon-ho. Maybe that's why she often said, 'Let's live together for the rest of our lives'. He also knows that Jang Moon-ho has a crush on him.
Nevertheless, it was because he was reluctant to become her concubine. To be honest, she was so busy raising her two children that she never felt lonely.
In an instant, a sigh of relief flowed from her Poong Yeoncho's mouth.
Seeing him like that, Lim Ji-ryeong asked.
“Did you come to see how the abandoned family live?”
“Yeah, that can’t be. I want to be her husband and father once again if you will allow me. I'm confident I'll do really well this time. I will never disappoint you again.”
At that time, the voice of the wind and rain came from outside her.
“Mother, Heeyeon brought me.”
“Come in, both of you.”
Entering the room, Poong Woon-bi and Poong Hee-yeon glanced at the Poong-yeon weed.
The owner of the house, Jang Moon-ho, had never entered the room, but he was surprised to see a strange man sitting there.
“Greetings. He is your father.”
“… … .”
Poongwunbi and Poonghuiyeon, who were looking at the Poongyeoncho with surprised faces, bowed.
***
that evening.
Sahapwon square (the room in the center of the front).
Two men sat across from each other with a table in the middle.
Moon-ho Jang, the owner of the house and the owner of a linen store, and Yeon-cho Poong, an uninvited guest.
Jang Mun-ho, who was two years older than Poong Yeon-cho, led the conversation.
“I heard the story briefly through the housekeeper. You said you came to live with your family again?”
Poongyeoncho nodded her head.
"That's right. Thank you for taking care of your wife and children. I will never forget the favor and repay it.”
"you're welcome. You can't even call him a man because he has a deep bond with his wife. But the victims will try to pay their grudge... … . Would it be all right if I took my family out?”
“You have to convince me. Strictly speaking, I was fooled too. I'm not the one who made the crappy pills. I only believe in the word good and sell it.”
Moonho Jang nodded his head as if he understood.
"ha! It seems that during this time, they lived together and became affectionate. I'm already worried about leaving. Please don't repeat the same mistake this time.”
“… … .”
Poongyeoncho was not at ease.
In fact, that is beyond the fountain.
There was no reason to hear such a thing from a complete stranger who was not even an adult in the family.
I endured it though.
Considering the kindness his family has given him over the past five years, it should have been.
“By the way, are you thinking of going home? That could be a bit risky... … .”
"no. I want to live in the opening.”
"ah! What are you going to do with the house? The house price of the opening will not be cheap.”
“I have money saved up in the meantime.”
“I don't know if you know the market price, but at the opening, Sahapwon should give you at least 300 nyang, even if it's a danjin (a house with a garden). This house is Yijin (the garden is divided into an outer garden and an inner garden), and I bought it for 1,000 nyang.”
Jang Moon-ho thought, 'There is no way Poong Yeon-cho, who followed a wandering medicine seller, could have that kind of money'.
“A house with a garden can afford to own it.”
At Poongyeoncho’s calm reply, Jang Munho hesitated for a second.
“I'm glad then. There are a few unboxing places where Im-Mae is given work. You might as well settle down at the opening, even for your sake and your kids.”
“In the future, there will be no need for a housewife to sew someone else’s house.”
“Ah, I forgot that there is a brother Poong. Did you get a job at the opening?”
“I have to save it.”
“May I ask what kind of job you are looking for? My feet are a bit wide because I’m from Gaebang.”
Jang Moon-ho gazed at the Poongyeoncho.
He wondered what kind of talent the man had after twelve years of following a wandering drug dealer.
“I know how to use a sword. I intend to work in the target country or upstream.”
"ah!"
An exclamation flowed from Jang Moon-ho's mouth.
Among the jobs he could earn money without capital, there was no swordsman. With just one knife, they earned far more than the average person.
Jang Moon-ho let go of his back, which was leaning against the back of the chair.
He was a little nervous at the word swordsman.
“If it's not an excuse, can you tell me which school you learned it from? I want to introduce you to a suitable job for Poong. If it's hard to say... … .”
“I was taught by a master from Waryongjang.”
Poongyeoncho did not hide its martial history because Waryongjang was destroyed and disappeared. It was also something that would be known to anyone who had seen Waryongjang swordsmanship anyway.
“Waryongjang of Luoyang?”
"That's right."
“Huh! You did. You are amazing.”
Jang Moon-ho straightened up and looked at the Poongyeoncho.
I easily thought he was a wandering medicine seller, but I think it was a mistake. Waryongjang of Nakyang was destroyed, but it could still be called a famous family.
“There are a few big commercials in the opening, and one of them is the Dead Sea. Have you ever heard of it?”
“I don’t know much about opening.”
“I see. The place where I receive my goods is also the upper part of the Dead Sea. I am acquainted with the Ark of the Upper Dead Sea, so I will prepare a place for you.”
"thank you."
"it's okay. We have to live by helping each other.”
Poongyeoncho was relieved by Jang Moonho's polite attitude.
After answering a few questions from Jang Moon-ho, he robbed his seat and got up.
***
The next day, Poong Yeon-cho and Tak Go-myeong went around looking at the house.
Originally, she intended to go with Lim Ji-ryeong, but she refused, saying that she had a lot of backlogs.
Poong Yeon-cho and Tak Go-myeong went to find a place as far away from Jang Mun-ho's house as possible. Then, around sundown, I was lucky enough to find a suitable house.
It was a small Danjin Sahabwon with only one garden in the center of the house, but Pungyeoncho was satisfied. Compared to the house in his hometown where he lived, the new house he bought was like a palace.
The day after purchasing the house, Feng Yancho took his family and left Munho Chang's house.
Lim Ji-ryeong and her children liked it quite a bit, probably because they had a decent house of their own while living in someone else's house.
Mr. and Mrs. Poong Yeon-cho decided to use the innermost room, and the children were given the West Room and the Statue Room on the left and right of the garden. And Takgo Myeong entered the left room next to the gate where Lim Ji-ryeong and her children lived before.
Three days after that, Moonho Jang arranged a meeting with the ark above the Dead Sea as promised.
Sang Jae-yong, the ark of the Dead Sea, hired Poongyeoncho and Takgomyeong on the spot and sent them to the giru (妓樓) he owned called Yonghuiru. In this way, Poongyeoncho and Takgomyung took their place in the opening.
***
Huguangseong Wudang Mountain.
I climbed Wudang Mountain alone with a serial enemy.
Gucheonnodo, who followed her like a shadow, left her heartache in the village under the mountain. I did it because it was difficult for any of the Taoists to recognize him.
Yeon Jeok-ha, who was diligently climbing the mountain path, slowed down.
About fifty paces ahead, I saw a towering mountain gate.
After a while, when I arrived at the mountain gate, two guru who appeared to be in their twenties appeared.
“Young brother, why are you going to climb the mountain?”
The respectful words of the guru gave him a respectful heart, and he replied politely.
“I came to see the Merchant of Heaven and Earth.”
The guru, Hyeonwol, secretly scanned the opponent.
The Merchant of Heaven and Earth is his master's brother-in-law, so he becomes four hundred to himself. Sabaek did not have any outside activities, so there were no customers. A boy looking for a bag like that?
“Do you have a pact with Sabaek-nim?”
"yes. I told you to come visit me whenever you have time.”
Hyeonwol narrowed his eyes.
The merchant of heaven and earth is like a crane in the cloud that you can barely meet even if you are a master. He couldn't believe that someone like that asked him to come anytime.
But looking at the boy's expression, it doesn't seem like he's lying.
In the end, Hyeonwol decided to check with the Cheonji Merchant himself.
“Please wait here for a moment. I will tell Sabaek that a guest has arrived. By the way, can I tell you who you are?”
“You would know if I told you that Yeonjeokha had come. I will go up too Can't you?”
“Ah, due to the recent bloody gang, we are not accepting regular visitors. Appointments are held, or only invited guests can climb the mountain.”
“A famous school?”
"yes."
Hyeonwol did not deny it.
It is because there is no one in Moorim who does not know the hostile relationship between Chilpaimun and Yumyeonggyo.
Hyeon-wol nodded to Hyeon-song, who was with him, and went up the mountain.
He stared at the large altar made of stone, which was standing at a distance.
Then, as if he had been waiting, Hyunsong opened his mouth.
“That altar is the famous Haegeomji. There is a saying, ‘Anyone who has not unwrapped a sword on the sea sword should not go anywhere and say he is a swordsman’.”
“What is sea dagger?”
"omg! Didn't you know the shaman's sea index? Everyone who climbs Wudang Mountain must unleash his sword at that altar. Despite such restrictions, many swordsmen visit shamans for non-swords.”
"ah!"
Yeonjeokha looked at Haegeomji with new eyes.
He said he had to leave the sword and go up? It is indeed a strange and surprising rule.
His hand touched the sword at his waist.
He came to listen to the advice of the merchant of heaven and earth anyway, so it didn't matter if he left the sword.
At that time, someone ran down the mountain like the wind.
He was a merchant of heaven and earth.
