Chapter 223 - I'm not a person who likes to fight

Lee Si-hwa warmed up at the bonfire on one side and stared at Yeon Jeok-ha at work.

The pyre he made was all thick logs.

At first glance, it was better than what his father had bought and sold.

The time it took for the double loader to tie the two loads of trees was no more than an hour (15 minutes).

If I hadn't lit a bonfire along the way, it would have ended much earlier.

When he tied a bundle of wood and came to the campfire, Lee Si-hwa said.

“Wow! really good Brother, would you rather be a woodcutter?”

“You say you don’t know yet, but I can make money just by standing with my hands behind my back.”

“Sheesh! Nonsense. What kind of job is there in the world?”

“Because it’s real. When people see me, they know me and just give me money.”

Of course, it happened when I was in Obong Sanchae.

Lee Si-hwa had no choice but to believe what his cousin said so seriously.

“My mom and dad can’t make money even if they work late into the night. How can I earn well like my older brother?”

“Are you good at fighting?”

"no."

“Then it will be a bit difficult.”

“Can’t my brother teach me?”

"hey! Do you think this can be learned in a day or two? It took me ten years.”

Lee Si-hwa did not cling to the words that it took him ten years.

His cousin gave up because he couldn't stay in Shizang Village for ten years.

“Let’s go down.”

The couple carried a bundle of wood on each shoulder and descended the mountain with Lee Si-hwa at the fore.

Yeonjeokha lightly tossed the load of wood into the yard.

When there was a ‘thud’, Lee Woo-seok, who was in the room, opened the door and stuck out his head.

“What is that?”

Lee Si-hwa quickly took the place of Yeon Jeok-ha.

“My older brother did it in the mountains because he used the firewood yesterday.”

“Tsk! Because it's okay. all that stuff By the way, the brother, please come in for a while.”

"yes."

I brushed off my hands and went into the room.

Lee Woo-seok, who was sitting in the room, said as if making excuses when Yeon Jeok-ha and his eyes met.

“During the winter, there is no work, so the men of Seokjang Village are mostly confined to their homes. When I go out, I have nothing else to do besides drinking and gambling.”

“Ah, yes.”

“My aunt and Yuhwa went to another house to help prepare for the 70th birthday party. By the way, are you staying in Hyeongyang County?”

"yes."

"sorry. He's an only-in-law, and he's poor to have one, so he can't be treated well."

"are you okay. You don't have to worry about being treated well elsewhere.”

Lee Woo-seok knew that Yeon Jeok-ha was out of the ordinary, so he just nodded.

At that time, Shihwa Lee came into the room and squatted in the corner.

In the summer, he would wait outside, but since it was winter, he just came in.

Lee Woo-seok, accustomed to living in a single room, didn't care much.

“I just met the village chief.”

Lee Si-hwa pretended not to hear and listened without breathing.

It is only natural that the family has been turned upside down due to her sister's marriage.

“he said he couldn’t get married, but he didn’t accept it.”

“You don’t accept it?”

“Hyungyang, my relative, even said that he had decided to come, and he said he would just go ahead with it. He was told rather to persuade you.”

“So will you convince me?”

“Do I look like someone who will push through the marriage my daughter rejected?”

“… … .”

It's a mysterious face.

When there was no answer he expected, Wooseok Lee said with a bitter face.

“What do you want me to do now? I don't think the chief has any intention of giving up. Would you rather run away at night? Living without it anyway, no matter where I go, I can’t live like this.”

“You haven’t committed a crime, so why are you running away at night? Do you think rumors will spread that your mother-in-law ran away because she didn't want to pay off her debt? I might report it to the government department.”

“Then what?”

“What are you worried about? If you want to mix things up like that, ask him to do it alone. Didn't I tell you that you won't stay overnight?"

“I said so during the day.”

“That’s all right. You should be ashamed of yourself by setting it up for a wedding ceremony alone.”

"ha! It's not going to end that easily. Looking at it today, it looks like the village chief is going to take Yuhwa by force.”

“Nothing like that.”

Lee Woo-seok looked at Yeon Jeok-ha with a suspicious face.

It suddenly jumps into his life and bangs loudly, but it is very uneasy.

“Honestly, if the chief pushes us, we have no choice but to follow. Do you know where this is? In Seokjangchon, Seok is the king. Even if we send five or six strong men from his household, we cannot stop it. It seems that a late-night getaway is the best.”

Lee Woo-seok, while he was talking, was absorbed in his argument and was already shaking his butt.

“That’s because you don’t need to. If you just want to stay, let's hold a ceremony for Yuhwa (a coming-of-age ceremony in which she puts a side on her head and puts her hairpin on).”

“Gyeye?”

Wooseok Lee narrowed his eyes at the sudden sound.

Of course, Yuhwa was sixteen, so he was past the age of giving rites. It is because women from ordinary households hold rites at the age of 15.

“Are you saying we should hold a ceremony for Yuhwa on the wedding day?”

"Yes."

“I understand your feelings, but the village chief isn't a fool, can he just watch it? The house will be a mess, and Yuhwa will be taken to the wedding ceremony.”

“Oesuk, my sword is not a decoration. No one will be able to put a finger on her body.”

Yeonjeokha tapped the sword hanging from her waist.

Even so, Wooseok Lee still has an anxious face.

There was an unprecedented worry that his nephew would be arrested by the government.

“Don’t do that. If we run away at night, it will end well without anyone getting hurt, so why?”

“I heard that a relative of the village chief is the county governor? Are you prepared to avoid government officials for the rest of your life? Even if I were the village chief, would you report it to the government department?”

A heavy silence flowed from Lee Woo-seok's mouth.

Wouldn't you know if you give the money back and run away?

It seemed that if he ran away at night while in debt, he would surely be able to do so.

Suddenly, Lee Woo-seok felt resentful of Yeon Jeok-ha.

I don't know why he pretends not to know when he has a thousand nyang.

If only he would pay his debts, he would have no hesitation in running away at night.

“Will the rites be all right? Don't worry about money. I will make the preparations.”

For a moment, Wooseok Lee almost burst out.

I don't know why they keep insisting on the rites that the village chief would obviously overturn.

If I had the money, I'd rather pay off the debt.

“People will make fun of us if we say that we will do the rites in our circumstances. If you have money to spend on that, you'll tell me to pay off the debt first?"

Lee Woo-seok hinted at the debt story.

I would rather pay off my debt than spend money one rite.

However, he pretended not to hear the rivalry and talked about it.

“Even if you think about that, the precepts are perfect. When the village chief gathers guests for the wedding ceremony, he sets a counter-fire as a rite. I will open it grandly so that it will be remembered forever.”

In the end, Lee Woo-seok had to give up his expectations of debt settlement.

He didn't want to care whether he did or not, if he couldn't even keep the night.

No matter what you do, the mayor will overturn the game.

"Do whatever you want."

Permission fell from the mouth of Lee Woo-seok, who was desperate.

He had to do something about it, since no one would be allowed out of the house on the day of the wedding anyway.

'Guests are the only family members, so I'll end it by giving Yuhwa a hairpin.'

Of course, there is no guarantee that it will end happily.

"It's brother."

"Yes?"

“If things go wrong later, never think about fighting.”

“Oesuk, I’m not a person who likes to fight.”

Then he said a word, as if Lee Si-hwa, who had been listening silently in the corner, had an itchy mouth.

“Brother, I heard you only learned how to fight for ten years.”

“It means you trained in martial arts.”

“A pure liar. He asked if I was good at fighting because he asked me to teach him how to make money.”

“So, even if the village chief takes the oil painting, you can just look at it?”

“I am asking because I am really curious. Are you confident enough to stop the village chief from sending people?”

"hey! Did you see me woodpecker? Do you think those people are stronger than trees?”

“Are trees and people the same?”

“You say it because you don’t know, but people are easier.”

When dealing with a tree, one's realm is projected, but a person just needs to match his level. So, from the point of view of Yeon Jeok-ha, trees were more difficult than people.

"Omg! Is it easier to chop people up?”

“who said he toppled? That's what it says.”

A heavy sigh escaped Lee Woo-seok's mouth as he listened to the conversation between the two.

It seems that my nephew has lived a long life as a ronin.

‘Don’t think about fighting, I’ll pay off some of your debts. Night getaways are the best... … .’

From the village chief's wedding ceremony to Yu Hwa's ceremonies, it feels like you're gradually sinking into a quagmire.

Ha Nam.

release.

Gold's Branch.

meeting room.

Two middle-aged men in uniforms sat across from each other.

They were Dong Yoo-soo, a warrior from Gae-bong, and Jiil-gang, a warrior from Namgyeong.

The two knew each other because they had worked in the same branch during the time of the guns.

Even so, the atmosphere in the conference room was stiff.

“Is it true that the Justice alliance Extermination and Cheonchudae suffered near-destruction damage?”

At Jiilgang’s question, Dongyusoo nodded.

“There are fifty-five survivors in the Jeolsadae, but there are only thirty-five left after excluding the wounded. The sum of the two is eighty-seven. Five hundred and forty-five if all four units are gathered. They will not be able to compete with the famous religion.”

“Huh! how come this happened The commander told me to leak the information on the Justice alliance so that the famous church would not be defeated. I never thought the power of the Justice alliance would be so weak.”

“I was also surprised that the power of the famous religion was stronger than expected. From the beginning, the Justice alliance was not an opponent of famous religions. Who knew that the power of the famous cult would be so strong.”

“I leaked information about the Justice alliance, fearing that it would be a one-sided fight, but it ended up giving the tiger wings. I don't know if the Justice alliance has any strength left to strike back. How does the same person see it?”

Dong Yoo-soo shook his head.

“Looks impossible. The Justice League is unable to stop even the twelve horsemen of the famous religion. Even though it was raided, it wasn't that the number of famous schools was much higher. almost equal In a battle of numbers, the Justice alliance suffered near-destruction damage. Not to mention being outnumbered.”

“You mean we have to just watch as the Justice alliance collapses and Murim falls into the hands of the famous religion? If that happens, our southward march will end up in the same situation as our northward march.”

Jiilgang looked at Dongyusoo with a puzzled face.

It is the commander who made the decision, but the responsibility for the failure is originally the people under him.

With this incident as an opportunity, the northward movement, which had collapsed due to the failed assassination of a famous religious priest, could have been strengthened again.

In fact, I heard that they were going to find the commander in the north.

“I think that Sapa will become equal again if they side with the Justice League… … .”

Dong Yoo-soo blurted out his words.

“By the way, are there any problems?”

“Because Pacheon Demon-kun, who can be said to be the head of Sapa, is just ignoring this incident.”

When the name of Pacheon Demon Army came out, Jiilgang shut his mouth.

Pacheon Magun was famous for treating his government officials like dogs.

Even if he is the Madura of Nokrim, he tries to maintain a moderate relationship with the government department, but he was different.

“Huh! It's hard to meet him, but even if you meet him face to face, it's said that it's impossible to appease him. It seems that Namjin’s luck has run out.”

Then Dong Yoo-soo said a word with his strange face.

“According to the information I recently heard, Pacheon Demon-kun entrusted the ‘Green Forest Sword’ to a certain person.”

“Hut! Really? Who is that person?”

“Greenery patrol.”
