Taejonbirok Volume 3 Episode 16

Chapter 22: The Good Man Does Not Come (1)

Wi Yeon-ho stretched out to his heart's content.

As the chirping Jin So-ah was locked in the room, there was no one left to nag Wi Yeon-ho in the Holy Water Hall.

Since the servants started bringing him food, Wei Yanho, who no longer had to be concerned about anything, was enjoying peace without any hesitation.

Wi Yeon-ho is criticized and humiliated by everyone who sees him for being lazy like no other human being, but if you look closely, he has never been so lazy in his life as he is now.

There was always someone who nagged, and there was always someone who cursed.

At home, there was a mother, and after growing up, Su-ryeon would nag him. Before entering the academy, his older brother was no different from the grim reaper, and the old man he saw for the first time since he was born, no, his father, was a person who thought he would die if he laid his back on the bed.

Wasn't there a woman with a bad temper who only had a sore mouth when she went into the cave and was impatient because she couldn't catch him at Hallym University?

If you think about it, he was enjoying the luxury he would never have again in his life.

'But why do I feel so strange?'

It would have been a situation where he would have been happy and excited, but when he actually found himself in that situation, Wi Yeon-ho felt a subtle sense of discomfort.

It was a cycle of waking up from sleep, eating, sleeping, waking up again, and eating.

'Isn't this breeding?'

Serious questions began to arise.

How is this any different from the pigs inside us?

When it was said that dignity is the most important thing for a human to exist as a human, the fundamental question of whether Wi Yeon-ho really has dignity as a human now began to arise.

“The meal has arrived.”

Wi Yeon-ho struggled to get up at the sound of something outside the door.

How difficult.

He is the disciple of the light sword Baek Mu-han.

He is a warrior with exquisite martial arts skills who can destroy this house with just one sword if he wants to.

But it's hard to get up from the floor!

Wi Yeon-ho shook his head. They say that humans are creatures that can adapt, and it seemed that his body had adapted after being buried in bed for so long.

The door opened and a large dining table came inside.

Wi Yeon-ho shivered as he looked at the food on the table.

Isn't it time to dress up a bit?

The table setting wasn't much different from the first day.

It was unpleasant to see such a sumptuous feast being served to a family with no money. Although Wi Yeon-ho had extorted good treatment or negotiated for it before, he had never received such voluntary treatment.

Moreover, the fact that the reason for this voluntary preferential treatment was a letter written by Moon Yu-hwan made him feel embarrassed.

To be honest, if it weren't for Moon Yu-hwan's letter of introduction, would he have ever dreamed of receiving such a pitiful treatment?

“Please eat.”

As the servant left the table, Wi Yeon-ho wiped his embarrassed expression and picked up his spoon.

“Hmm…….”

It's embarrassing and uncomfortable, but since the ghost that died after eating it looks pretty, I have to eat it anyway.

“I’m malnourished.”

I lived for five whole years without even eating.

It's not because I'm naturally a big eater, but if it were other people, they would go crazy just looking at food.

In the past, even if a meal was served while he was sleeping, Wei Yanho would rather sleep for an hour than get up and eat, but now that he looks for a meal first, it seems that living in a cave has helped to cure Wei Yanho of his laziness a little.

“Let’s eat!”

Wi Yeon-ho quickly tore off one leg of the roast duck.

“This is enough.”

Wi Yeon-ho neatly placed an edible amount of food on the plate in front of him, put the plate on the floor, opened the door, and took the table outside.

“I ate it all.”

“Already?”

When the servant who had set the table came running and asked, Wi Yeon-ho nodded without saying a word.

“Then I will take the prize.”

“Yes, please do.”

After Wi Yeon-ho put down the prize, he went back into the room, closed the door, and picked up the plate.

“This is comfortable.”

After learning that there were people who ate the food left by Wei Yanho, Wei Yanho tried to eat as little and cleanly as possible. He was a bit of a glutton, but he was not obsessed with food itself, as long as he was full.

Wi Yeon-ho quickly emptied the food on his plate, held his stomach, burped loudly, and then hurriedly picked up the blanket and lay down again.

“Oh my, I’m going to gain weight.”

Thanks to Baek Mu-han's harsh training, Wei Yan-ho was always able to maintain the best body on his own, but if he continued to eat and sleep like this, something unexpected would happen.

Wi Yeon-ho nodded, imagining himself rolling around on the floor with his body bulging.

“It’s not bad, is it?”

At first glance, it looks like it will be soft.

What does it matter what other people think of you? As long as you are comfortable, that's all that matters.

If it was to the point where it was difficult to move around in a green and wooden manner, then I wouldn't know, but otherwise, whatever was comfortable for me was the most important.

It was only natural that I would feel sleepy since my stomach was full and my back was warm.

If only a loud noise hadn't reached Wei Yanho's ear as he was falling into a deep sleep.

“……I told you to come!”

“What a surprise!”

Wei Yanho, who was half asleep, was startled awake by a loud voice coming through the door.

“What, what is it?”

As a doctor, it was common for there to be loud noises. On days when an urgent patient was brought in, the doctor's office resembled a market.

When the loud voices of the legislators and the screaming guardians demanding that the patient be saved were combined, it couldn't have been louder.

There had been such commotions many times before, but this time it was definitely different. If that had happened, Wei Yanhu would not have woken up so easily. Wei Yanhu was the kind of person who could sleep as long as he wanted, even if a war was going on right next to him.

'What should I do?'

I felt like something was a little urgent, but I didn't want to go out and stick my face in. The soft feel of the blanket stuck to my back and the blanket covering my stomach was incredibly warm.

'First of all, it's not my job.'

As Wei Yanho tried to ignore it and sleep a little more, a high-pitched sound that would make people flinch kept piercing into his ears.

“Didn’t I tell you to come out!”

The medicinal herbs laid out on the floor to dry were scattered in all directions.

“Why, why are you doing this!”

The doctor who had come out to look at the herbal medicine shouted in surprise when he saw the ruffians suddenly start turning everything upside down.

“Tell the owner to come out!”

A man with a fierce expression and a knife scar on his face threatened the congressman.

“Master, master?”

“Tell the owner to come out! Where did Jin Ye-ran go?”

“Why are you looking for Miss Jin……”

“Are these guys joking!”

The man with the knife scar began to trample on the herbs without saying a word.

“Oh my, what kind of medicine is that! No, it won’t work! No, it won’t work!”

As the congressman grabbed the man with the knife wound and hung on, the man pushed the congressman away and started kicking the doors down, causing a commotion.

“Come out! Don’t come out!”

“Oh my, this is not right! The patients are receiving treatment!”

“That’s none of my business! Where the hell did that b*tch go?”

When the man started causing a ruckus, the doctor was helpless. What power would a white-haired student who only treated patients have to stop the ruffian?

“Wh, what’s going on?”

Jin So-ah heard the commotion and ran out of the room, but froze when she saw the ruffian.

“Oh my, you’re here.”

“Huh!”

Jinsoah swallowed the wind.

“Why, why did you come here?”

"why?"

The man laughed as if he found it ridiculous, then struck his chest with his hand menacingly.

“Why, why! I came to get money!”

“……What money do we have?”

“If you don’t have money, can you just take other people’s money and wipe your mouth?”

Jin So-ah couldn't say anything.

“Isn’t that money a debt your father owes you?”

“If parents are in debt, isn’t it natural for the children to pay it back?”

Jinsoah grabbed the man's sleeve.

“Let’s go out and talk for now. The patients are resting.”

"patient?"

The man grumbled and laughed.

“Hey, you don’t have money to pay back, but you still have money to give to patients? Don’t these doctors have any conscience? It’s so disgusting to see them stealing other people’s money and pretending to be good with it.”

“Don’t you know that’s not the case?”

“No, no! Then whose money are you spending? I gave you some consideration, and now you’re just making a fuss with someone else’s money?”

Jin So-ah was going crazy and jumping for joy.

You're being considerate.

Who was the one who confiscated the palace and robbed the granary to pay off my father's gambling debts, and now he was saying that he had been lenient? It was so frustrating.

What kind of shameless talk is this, when they took away all the assets of Seongsujang, which boasted history and tradition, in an instant and dumped them in a place like this?

“No need to talk much, when are you going to pay me back?”

“If you have money, you can pay it back, right?”

“You don’t have money? If you don’t have money, where did you get all these herbs?”

“I collected it little by little…….”

“You should pay off your debts first, since you’ve been saving up little by little. Why are you spending money on useless things?”

“That’s not it. If you have patients, you can make money. If you don’t have medicine, how can you treat patients?”

“Oh, so…… you’re saying you can’t make money because you have patients?”

"……yes?"

The man laughed cruelly.

“Then I guess it’s fine as long as there are no patients. Right?”

“Wh, what are you talking about?”

“That's what it sounds like.”

The man kicked Jin So-ah, who was holding his sleeve.

“Oh my!”

Jinsoah rolled on the floor.

The man who kicked Jin So-ah walked briskly to the patients' room, opened the door, and started to drag the patients inside.

“Come out! This place is closed now. Come out!”

“Why, why are you doing this?”

The patients who still had some energy tried to resist, but those who had no energy were dragged out without being able to say anything.

“Stop it! I mean, patients.”

“So, what kind of charity work are you doing when you can’t even pay the money back? Get out of my way!”

The man who pushed away the running Jin So-ah opened another door in front of him.

“Right now I…….”

In an instant, the man closed his mouth.

The sight inside the room is a little strange.

All the rooms I've seen so far have had people wrapped in bandages or looking uncomfortable somewhere, but the guy lying in this room looked so fine that he looked completely fine.

Looking at him lying down with a blanket spread out in broad daylight, he clearly seemed to be in pain somewhere, but the sebum running down his face seemed to symbolize some kind of comfort, and his body looked too solid to be a patient.

"uh……."

While the man was perplexed, Wei Yanho's eyes slowly opened.

Wi Yeon-ho slowly opened his mouth with a sleepy face at the sudden commotion.

“What is it?”
