Taejonbirok Volume 14 Episode 3
Chapter 78: Lazy Man, Accident (3)
“Why do humans have to eat to survive?”
It's not really a philosophical question. It was just annoying. Now, Wi Yeon-ho is able to enjoy the pleasure of eating, but the only time he enjoys it is when he eats.
It's never a pleasant thing to have something happen that requires you to move your feet.
“No, well, it’s not that bad.”
Wi Yeon-ho smiled happily as the sunlight poured down.
They say that people need leisure to open their eyes, and although Wi Yeon-ho would normally hate coming out of his room, even to the sunlight, after resting for a long time, his mind had become much more generous.
Taking a walk in the sunshine here wasn't so bad.
Moreover, there was no one who usually stayed by his side and told him to put down the persimmons and jujubes. If he could, he would like to continue playing and eating like this in the palace.
“That’s not possible, you know.”
The more I dreamed of dogs, the more I lost. I had already realized a long time ago that the world has good days and bad days.
“But I’ve been through so much up until now, so shouldn’t things only be good for a while?”
When I think about the hardships I endured when I met Baek Mu-han in the cave, I feel that it would not be enough if only good things happened to me in my life from now on.
“Hey, what’s wrong with my fortune?”
Wi Yeon-ho raised his head and looked at the distant sky.
“Right, Master?”
It was not Wei Yanho who did not know that the world was not going well. The leisure he was enjoying now was like a mirage that could disappear at any moment.
There were already signs of division everywhere. The moment these things explode at the same time, the word peace will disappear from the world of martial arts.
'Shall we go to a faraway country?'
It was a shame to get caught up in that chaos and suffer here and there. However, Wei Yanhu soon shook his head.
“Let’s close it. People live there too. There won’t be any trouble.”
In the end, work is not made by the land, but by people. Wherever there are people, incidents cannot be avoided. Wei Yanho realized early on that the safest place is in bed in a room.
And now he was out of bed and walking outside. Wei Yanhu, who realized once again how dangerous this was, hurried his steps back.
Even so, it was incredibly slow.
Wi Yeon-ho, who had been walking slowly, turned his waist backwards.
“Kkeungcha!”
Although Wei Yanho's body was always in top condition, it was stiff and sore in many places, perhaps because he had been resting for so long recently.
It's something that shouldn't happen while unmanned, but whatever. There's no need to fight in the palace.
'It's peaceful.'
People call the palace Yongdamhohyeol, but in Wei Yanho's eyes, there was no place more peaceful than this.
I haven't experienced much of it yet, so…
"hey."
"huh?"
Wi Yeon-ho's head turned back.
“Huh?”
Wi Yeon-ho frowned slightly.
“What kind of person are you?”
Wi Yeon-ho couldn't help but feel deeply distressed as he watched the person asking him questions out of the blue.
“Master told me not to judge a person by his appearance.”
But this was such a typical sight that I couldn't help but criticize it.
Curly eyebrows, round eyes, plump red lips, and a round, soft jawline… What should I say?
“Hey, are you cute?”
No, what… … .
Objectively speaking, it was cute. It was an incredibly cute commotion. Even Wei Yanhu, who didn't particularly like children, had no choice but to admit that they were cute.
But despite having such cuteness, there was something awkward about it. It was strange that someone so cute could not be liked by others.
“Is it because of your expression?”
Wi Yeon-ho tilted his head.
Wi Yeon-ho, who never judged people by their appearance, even when he saw Baek Geum-yeong disguised as Nokmokpung in the past.
The shell is not something that can be born as one wishes, nor can it be changed with effort. Therefore, it is extremely foolish to judge a person by his or her appearance.
'… … That's what I thought.'
But strangely, I don't feel affection for this little guy in front of me.
Wi Yeon-ho narrowed his eyebrows slightly and observed the commotion carefully.
“Oh, that’s because of the expression.”
Wi Yeon-ho laughed joyfully as if he had realized something.
The slightly upturned corners of his lips and the eyes that seemed to look down on others were irritating people.
Should I say that arrogance shows on your face?
“What are you talking about?”
"huh?"
“Didn’t I ask you? What kind of person are you?”
"to……."
Wi Yeon-ho shook his head.
Of course, he was lazy by nature and had been lazy since he could remember, so he was used to other people treating him poorly.
In fact, there are reasons and excuses for all the shortcomings that people have, but isn't laziness the only thing that has no excuse, even if it earns others the contempt it deserves?
So, I have lived my life tolerating with a broad mind the fact that others curse at me and gossip about me… … .

“This thing is the size of a rat’s bell!”
No matter what, seeing this little guy open his mouth made my stomach turn.
“Rat drop?”
A spark flew into Sodong's eyes.
“Where did you come from, you little rascal!”
"omg……."
Wi Yeon-ho clutched his chest.
What a lowly bastard. It was the first time I heard such an old-fashioned and stereotypical curse. But that obvious curse was making me sad.
'There's a reason why classics are classics.'
Wi Yeon-ho, who realized that the obvious was something that had been passed down for a long time because it was so obvious, almost died on the spot.
It was fortunate that he barely managed to attain enlightenment. If not, he would have written the legend of being the first warrior in the history of martial arts to be cursed and then attain enlightenment.
Wi Yeon-ho shouted loudly with boiling anger.
“Are you a member of the royal family?”
"huh?"
Wi Yeon-ho began to investigate the confusion while watching the commotion. There are beings in the world that should never be attacked, no matter how dirty or disgusting they are.
“Are you a member of the royal family?”
"no."
“Then are you the child of a high-ranking official?”
“No?”
“Then, is it possible that you have relatives with high-ranking officials from the first to fifth ranks, or that your relatives within the eighth cousins are so capable that they come and go from the palace as if it were their own home?”
“What are you talking about? I’m not that kind of person.”
“Oh, really?”
Wi Yeon-ho looked at the commotion again with eyes of suspicion.
“Let’s answer straight without talking nonsense later. Is there anyone around you who has risen to a government position?”
"does not exist."
“Is there a royal family member among your relatives?”
“I told you there wasn’t any, you idiot!”
Wi Yeon-ho felt one realization and one question arise at the same time.
“Oh, you really have no relationship?”
“Isn’t that so?”
“Then what are you believing in and arguing about?”
“Civil war?”
The boy kicked Wei Yanhui's shin.
bang!
“Ahhhhh!”
Then he grabbed his feet and started rolling around on the floor.
“This is neither self-defense nor not self-defense.”
Because I just got hit.
“This bastard will destroy the three clans!”
The boy jumped up from the floor and began to glare at Wi Yeon-ho with poisonous eyes.
But Wei Yanho felt wronged.
“What did I do!”
“Didn’t you hurt my foot?”
“Did I hurt you? You got hurt by yourself because you kicked me!”
“How dare this guy!”
Wi Yeon-ho clicked his tongue as he looked at the little boy.
“That kid speaks like an old man.”
“You made a mistake just now.”
"huh?"
The little boy began to giggle and laugh.
“When you realize what you have done, you will probably become delirious and beg me to spare your life.”
“Ah, yes yes.”
Wi Yeon-ho waved his hand.
“Yes, yes, please spare me. If you just spare my life, I will be in great pain. Yes, yes.”
Looking at Wei Yanho speaking calmly, Sodong's eyes sparkled.
“There will be a price to pay.”
“Okay, okay, I understand. So can I go?”
“Kikki-kik.”
The face of the commotion became even more cruel.
“It’s too late, it’s too late. You can’t beg now. I’ll remember the expression on your face as your fingernails are pulled out one by one, your flesh is burned with a soldering iron, and your flesh is peeled off with a knife, dot by dot.”
Wi Yeon-ho looked at the child with a slightly hardened face.
'What kind of kid is saying something like that?'
Of course, Wei Yanhu does not believe that children are innocent. No, to be precise, children may be innocent, but they are not good beings. Children are like catching bugs and tearing off their wings and legs while smiling brightly.
Children are just powerless, but children with power can be more cruel than adults.
Even taking that into account, the words coming out of this guy's mouth were too much. It was surprising what kind of environment he had to grow up in to be able to say something like that so calmly.
“Wow, this… has absolutely no concept.”
“It’s too late to regret. It’s not just you. Your family, not a single person who is related to you will survive.”
“Oh, I’m scared.”
“Keep on going, but I am merciful, so I will give you a chance. If you gouge out your eyes right now and swallow them with your own mouth, I will forgive you this time. If not…….”
“Oh, wait a minute.”
Wi Yeon-ho neatly cut off the commotion.
“You, aren’t you being a bit too extreme? Where are your parents?”
“Huh! I don’t have parents.”
“Oh, I see.”
“How dare you…….”
“But that’s not an excuse. There are kids who grow up in a terrible situation even with parents, and there are kids who grow up well even without parents. I’m a typical example of the former!”
Wi Yeon-ho said, pointing at himself with his thumb.
“What nonsense are you talking about?”
“So, I’m going to make you the latter.”
"huh?"
Wi Yeon-ho shrugged his shoulders.
“It’s annoying, but I feel bad about just leaving a kid who hasn’t even fully grown up yet to be in good condition. Well, it won’t take much time, so I’ll give you a little education in place of your deceased parents.”
"education?"
The commotion made him laugh bitterly.
“Do you think someone like you can educate me? Even the world’s greatest scholars recognize me as a prodigy. Someone like you cannot teach me.”
“No. You can do it.”
“How? Are you going to discuss the sutras or the poetry in front of me now?”
“Tsk tsk tsk.”
Wi Yeon-ho wiggled his fingers.
“He’s a kid. He doesn’t know anything.”
“What do you mean you don’t know?”
“Such dead knowledge is of no use to the world. You are still young and do not know the world, but there is only one truth of learning that applies to the world.”
For the first time, curiosity appeared on Sodong's face.
“What is that?”
“It’s simple. The little one is a good swordsman.”
"what?"
At that moment, Wei Yanhu rushed to Sodong and kicked his butt.
Pfft!
The body of the commotion rose into the air with a sound like firecrackers exploding.
“Eww!”
Wei Yanhu muttered as he listened to the piercing screams of the commotion.
“Seeing is believing……. Ah, this…… Should I have said it before?”
Well, what do you think?
I'll tell you when I get down.
