Taejonbirok Volume 4 Episode 20

Chapter 30 – The Lazy Man, Talking (2)

The green-clad man in the lead opened his mouth with a slightly trembling voice.

“Are you really the Jeonghyeop sword?”

“I am the king of the stomach.”

“……How can the Jeonghyeop Sword be here?”

Why did someone who was supposed to be in Guangdong show up in this far away place?

“You guys don’t know anything until then.”

It was embarrassing to say that I was on my way to find my son. Wi Jeong-han changed the subject.

“What will you do? Will you dodge, or will you feel with your body how sharp my sword is?”

Nokrimdo stepped back without saying a word.

If the Zheng Hegemon was certain, there was nothing to think about. There were only five of them. Even if there were fifty of them, they would not be able to handle the Zheng Hegemon.

“Go ahead.”

The green forests retreated far to the left and right.

“Hmm, you understand what I’m saying.”

Wi Jeong-han licked his lips as he grabbed and released the handle of the sword on his waist.

The sight is so creepy that it feels like someone is trying to loosen up their grip but is disappointed.

“The Green Forest has no intention of being hostile to the Guangdong Wei family.”

“Well, I have an idea.”

Wi Jeong-han glanced at them with regretful eyes and then got into the carriage.

Mosan-ah sorted out the situation.

“Haomen also has no intention of fighting with Nokrim. However, the person riding it is so…….”

“I understand.”

As Mosan-ah, who had been bowing her head, got on, the carriage began to slowly pass by on the road.

As the carriage slowly moved away, one man opened his mouth.

“Are you going to send it like this?”

"then?"

“The Green Forest King has ordered everyone on the road to be blocked.”

“That’s right.”

“Sending them away like this would be disobeying the orders of the Green Forest King.”

“It's okay.”

"one……."

“Didn’t you say it was okay? Even if the Emperor were to pass by, would you block his path by order of the Green Forest King?”

“…….”

“Don’t try to do things too straightforwardly. There will come a day when that will strangle you. When they are urging you from above, just say “Zheng Hee Jian.”

"All right."

Nokrim-do blankly watched the carriage moving away.

'I really thought you'd back down.'

Although it was expected, the result was shocking. At the mere mention of the Jeonghyeop Sword, all the Green Forest members retreated.

'You even mentioned the name of the Green Forest King… … .'

The fact that the Green Forest Demons used the name of the Green Forest King was tantamount to revealing their will to never negotiate. Nevertheless, the name of the Jeonghyeop Sword alone broke their will.

It meant that, beyond her knowledge, the name Jeonghyeopgeom was synonymous with fear in Heukdo.

Although I knew it through documents, I was a newbie who realized that there is a big difference between knowing it as information and feeling it firsthand.

however…….

“I told you, why are you so slow!”

“Ivory, being a little late won’t kill Yeonho.”

“If my baby, who is as good as your life, ever gets a raw bite, you will know that from that day on, you will live the rest of your life doing your favorite thing.”

“Huh? Isn’t that a good thing?”

“That’s good! So don’t even think about coming into the house!”

“Isn’t the carriage too slow?”

When Wi Jeong-han, who had jumped up from his seat, shouted at the coachman, the guest smiled bitterly and said.

“We are going as fast as we can right now. If we go any faster, the horses won’t be able to handle it. We are adjusting our speed to replace the horses at the first stall we can stop at, so please understand.”

“……That’s right.”

“Then you should have taken care of it quickly and come back. You just wasted time.”

“I was wrong.”

Mosan-ah, who thought that Wi Jeong-han might soon become a Buddha, opened the window slightly and spoke softly.

“Try increasing the speed.”

“This is the best.”

“Consider it as saving one person’s life.”

“……I will try my best.”

After hearing the circumstances, I realized that he was on his way to see his son who had gone missing for five years, so I could only imagine how he must have felt. But seeing him harassing people like that, I felt sorry for Wi Jeong-han.

“Ivory, I can’t say anything because I have sinned, but don’t you think it’s too much? Isn’t it time you forgive me now?”

Mosan-ah nodded without realizing it.

“What’s wrong with someone who left their newborn baby at home and then came back after years of being a freeloader? Why don’t you just do it like you did then?”

“Huh? That happened?”

Mo San-ah's head quickly calculated. Mo San-ah's eyes grew cold as she compared Wei Yan-ho's age with Wei Jeong-han's time of absence.

“How could you do that?”

Mosan-ah began to look at Wijeong-han with eyes like she was looking at an insect.

“I even gave birth to my child alone.”

“Oh my god!”

“They say that other people go to the Hwangdo Island in the middle of winter because they’re pregnant, but I…… sigh!”

Mosan-ah concluded that there was no room for sympathy for Wijeong-han and opened the window again.

“Uncle.”

“Yes, Miss?”

“Let’s go at the regular pace.”

"……yes."

The guest, who had been listening to everything that was happening inside, clicked his tongue quietly.

As a fellow man, I feel sorry for him, but if I sympathize with him here, he will end up in a terrible situation.

There is an anecdote where a married son complained for three years that his wife didn't buy him what he wanted to eat when she was pregnant, and his father said to him, "I've been suffering for thirty years."

'You should do that well.'

The sigh of the wise man was urging his hand.

* * *

Jin So-ah could understand what the phrase 'quick and easy' meant.

Just two days after Wi Yeon-ho spoke, the place where the black kitchen had been was taking on the appearance of a medical clinic.

“This is the medicine room, this is the examination room. The main room is over there! The main room is filled with things that are just flashy on the outside!”

And at the center of it all was Hadaebong.

I don’t know how someone who was the leader of the battlefield could have such talent, but Ha Dae-bong seemed like someone born for the position of general. Once the plan was made, he quickly came up with a budget estimate, and in an instant, he began recruiting people, setting up a medical clinic, stocking up on medicines, and recruiting talented people.

“Hurry up! Hurry up! I’m telling you to work without straightening your back! After moving ten cauldrons of medicinal herbs, you have to straighten your back once!”

“……Ghost.”

Ha Dae-bong would occasionally nag at his workers and encourage them. He gave them no time to rest, as he paid them daily wages, and it seemed that he was determined to make a living from it.

'Well, it's because I'm a Susanna.'

People suddenly poked their heads out to look inside, wondering what was going on in the black kitchen.

Those who saw the construction in full swing began to whisper.

“What is going on?”

“Hey, it looks like someone new is moving into the building?”

“What about those gang of thugs?”

“Don’t you know? Those guys… they got kicked out a few days ago because they were all disabled.”

“Weren’t they the kind of people that even the country couldn’t touch? Who did such a great thing?”

“I don’t know about that. There are more than a few people who have seen people limping around with broken bodies, supporting each other and running away.”

“Then who uses this place now? After all, it’s the place those ugly guys used to use. Is there anyone who would want to come in?”

"I know?"

People's questions were bound to be answered soon.

A large sign began to appear on the main gate.

“Seongsujang?”

The main gate was soon covered with a large cloth, but everyone who wanted to see it had already seen it.

“What is this? Are you saying a medical clinic is coming in? Where those ugly guys used to live?”

“It’s a good thing, but…….”

People looked at the sign covered with cloth with uneasy eyes.

It's a good thing that a medical center is opening, but since it was originally used by bad guys, I'm worried that they might come back and cause trouble again.

Their honest feelings were that they would get cold feet standing next to a strict person and would get involved if they went to see a doctor for no reason.

At that moment, a person came out from inside.

"oh?"

Everyone who saw the middle-aged man with a dignified appearance and wearing silk clothes opened their eyes wide.

“I would like to inform you all! In two days, we will hold a banquet to announce the opening of Seongsu’s room. Please come and celebrate the opening of the new room.”

“Oh!”

What a feast.

Although there are cases where firecrackers are set off or rice cakes are handed out at the opening, it is rare for a feast like this to be held.

“Can I bring a lot of people?”

The middle-aged man nodded with a friendly smile.

“Of course. Please let more people know. Don’t worry, we’ll prepare enough food.”

“Let’s do that.”

Ha Dae-bong smiled brightly and turned around to go inside. As soon as he turned around, his expression changed.

“Who told you to rest! Didn’t I tell you not to rest and work hard because the construction has to be finished by today! Over there! How many times do I have to tell you not to make the stairs high, but low and stacked tightly, because they are the stairs that the patients have to climb!”

Hadae-bong's nagging was endless.

Jin So-ah nodded repeatedly while looking at Ha Dae-bong. Success is achieved by people like that.

"however……."

The above… Where did it go?

“The weather is so nice~”

Wi Yeon-ho was lying on the eaves, patting his stomach in the pouring sunlight.

As I bit into the dried persimmon that Hadaebong had given me, telling me not to bother the construction and to eat it instead, I felt like I was in heaven as I felt the cool breeze.

Wi Yeon-ho's taste was more for the inside of a room than the eaves, but he couldn't stay in his room right now, when there was so much chaos. The process of remodeling all the rooms to accommodate patients was in full swing.

“There is nothing easy in this world.”

Seeing people working hard made me realize this fact anew. At that moment, someone placed a ladder next to the eaves and climbed up.

"huh?"

The lower part of the roof poked its head out above the eaves.

“It’s almost done.”

“That’s fast.”

“There’s not much to do, as you might think. The building already exists, and since it’s where they used to live, there’s not much to repair. All we have to do is fix the leaky areas to prevent the wind from blowing in, and make it easier for patients to move around.”

“Yes, definitely. But are the preparations going well?”

“Of course.”

Hadae-bong nodded with a stern face.

Depending on how you open a clinic, the way you look at it will change. Since there are many negative factors, you have to be careful.

Hadaebong clenched his fists.

Ha Dae-bong, who intuitively felt that this was the moment that would determine his life, was determined to make the opening a success.

“Ouch, hot!”

Wei Yanho rolled backwards and away from Ha Daebong, letting out a loud noise.

“If you have too much enthusiasm, you’ll end up having an accident.”

“I’ll be careful about that. So… are you ready for what I said?”

“I should go now.”

Wi Yeon-ho sighed.

I just want to lie down and rest for half a day, but I don't know why there's so much to do.

“That’s the point.”

"all right."

Wi Yeon-ho, who had risen from his seat, slowly went down under the eaves. Then he left the building and disappeared somewhere.

Ha Dae-bong clenched his fist as he watched the scene.

The opening day of Seongsujang has arrived with many people's expectations and concerns.
