Chapter 561 - Was it like that?
Saneum County.
Gabjabang (甲子坊) near the North Gate,
There are three bustling places in Shanyin County.
The first is Jikji where the county office is located, the second is Soyangbang near Wolmyeong Lake, and the third is Gabjabang.
Their stores sold almost everything a person needed to live, including alcohol and food, as well as clothing, furniture, farming tools, and various weapons.
As a result, it was always crowded with customers coming and going.
It was winter now, so the whole city was quiet, but the shopping district was an exception. Of course, it cannot be compared to spring, summer, and fall.
The peaceful Gapjabang turned into a living hell of Abi Gyu-hwan.
Blood wolves the size of calves were roaming around in droves, preying on people.
People on the street tried to run into any store, but no one would open the door.
But just because it's inside the store doesn't mean it's safe.
The door of the store was shattered with just a light swing of the front leg by Blood Lang.
Then, with screams, new people poured into the streets of death.
Gapjabang CEO Jung Kyung-kyu was one of those people.
Separated from the escorts, he diligently looked left and right even in the midst of danger.
He is looking for a place to protect himself from his predators, blood wolves.
Just in time, he saw a stone statue in his eyes.
It may be the most durable place in Sanyin County because the store is surrounded by stone.
It seems that Jeong is not the only person who thought so.
People rushed to the stone statue.
Those who arrived first knocked on the firmly closed door of the stone statue.
bang! bang! bang!
“Look! Please open the door!”
"Help me!"
There was no response to people's earnest cries.
In fact, there is a reason why store owners do not open their doors.
The wild beasts, mad with hunger, returned to the mountain where they lived when their stomachs were full.
So it would have to end when someone got into the belly of the beast.
The store owners hoped the beast would eat only the people on the street and leave.
Geumsan, the owner of the stone shop, did not open the door for that reason.
It hurts my heart, but that doesn't mean he and his family will become prey to the beast.
No matter how many times I knocked, there was no response, so people left swearing.
But Jung Kyung-woo didn't do that.
When half of those camped at the gate had left, he came out.
“Brother Gold, fly. open the door.”
Geumsan, who had been standing with her back to the door, turned around with a surprised face.
It was clear that the thick and familiar voice was Jung Kyung-woo, the representative of Gapjabang.
Still, he closed his eyes and held on.
He had no intention of following the words of Hyun-ryeong, not Jeong-kyu.
Considering the number of beasts, all the people on the street had to be eaten.
Even if that's not the case, if people are gathered, the beast won't just pass by.
So he couldn't open the door.
Jeong Kyung-woo's voice came to his ears as he was forced to turn away.
“If Brother Keum doesn’t open the door and I survive, will I be able to handle the consequences?”
It was a threat.
In an instant, Geumsan's eyes flashed open.
What if Jung-kyu holds a grudge against him because of this?
It must be seen that living in Saneum County is wrong.
He was the richest man in Saneum County and the representative of Gapjabang. It was not even a job to close a door for Seok Jae-sang.
Will Jung Kyung-Woo be able to live?
Not everyone will die just because they are on the streets.
'ha!'
In times of peace, it is the haves that are as terrifying as the wild beasts outside the gates.
In the end, Geumsan lifted the bolt that had been lowered.
Kyung-Woo Jeong and about a dozen people who remained outside the door rushed in.
As soon as they came inside, they told me to hang the bolts first.
They also didn't want more people at the stone statue.
Jang Kyung-woo approached Geumsan, who was standing with a bitter face.
“Thank you. Don't forget today's grace. When things suddenly return to normal, I will take care of your convenience.”
"thank you. I didn't open the door for that. We have to help each other in difficult times.”
“It’s a great attitude. I did righteous things that are difficult for others to do. Good things will happen.”
Kyung-Woo Jeong praised him as if Geumsan had opened the door in good faith.
After all, words don't cost money.
While Jeong Kyung-kyu was courting Geumsan, a ‘grumbling’ sound was heard from outside the door.
For a moment, Jung Kyung-kyu closed his mouth.
Kyung-kyu Jeong hoped that the cursed blood flow of hell would just pass by Seok Jae-sang.
He did not want to be driven out into the streets of death again.
But he couldn't fool the beast's nose.
For the starving Blood Rang, the stone statue full of humans was like a food warehouse.
“Kreung!”
The thick door was shattered with a single step.
When the front door fell off, people opened the blocked windows and back doors and ran outside.
Blood ran down their backs.
Jeong Kyung-woo, who was crossing the front yard of Seok Jae-sang, fell down from the sudden shock.
Soon after, Blood Rang gently pressed his back with his front paws and cried for a long time.
Aww-.
Jeong Kyung-woo struggled to get up, but he couldn't overcome the power of Blood Rang.
Blood Rang did not kill him right away, as if his stomach was full.
Foreseeing his death, Kyung-kyu Jeong screamed desperately.
“Save people! Save me!”
As if he didn't want to hear that sound, Blood Rang lightly bit Jung Kyung-woo on the back.
Kyung-kyung Jeong shrugged his shoulders and didn't make a sound.
It was almost an act of instinct.
When he was silent, Hilrang removed his mouth from the nape of his neck.
It was only then that Kyung-Woo Jung knew that Hyolrang was sensitive to sound and even killed the sound of his breath.
But that doesn't mean the problem is solved.
Blood Rang's eyes, which had subsided a little, began to shine with madness again.
Just then, a call came from a nearby place.
Blood Rang opened his mouth wide at the thought of killing the prey he was playing with and running away.
It was about time that Blood Rang bit the back of Jeong Kyung-woo.
From the far end of the street, a person ran to the front of the blood like the wind.
It was serialized.
Before he even stopped, he swung at the government office.
I had to hurry because there were a lot of Blood Rangs, so I checked the surroundings later.
Step by step-.
When I used the Sword River from the beginning, the head of the Blood Rang fell with the sound of bones grinding.
Chow-.
The back of Kyung-Woo Jung's head was dripping blood.
"evil! Aaaagh!”
Jung Kyung-woo, who was lying on his stomach, thought it was his own blood and struggled and screamed.
The lesser Yeonjeokha said while kicking the torso of Hilrang who was holding him down.
“Mister, the wolf is dead, so don’t worry.”
When the power that had been pressing down on his back disappeared, Jung Kyung-woo jumped up.
It was only then that the head of Blood Rang, who was licking himself, came into view.
'I'm alive!'
He let out a sigh of relief and shouted at the back of the young man's head.
“Thank you for saving me! My name is Jeong Kyung-woo, the representative of Gabjabang. Please tell me the great name of the benefactor! I really want to repay the favor!”
Yeonjeokha, who pretended not to hear and was about to leave, hesitated.
The enemy is said to be meeting on a single wooden bridge, but it is Jeong Kyung-kyu, the representative of Gapjabang.
Yeonjeokha turned around and said with a cold face.
"what? Wasn't it you, Jeong Kyung-kyu, who wasn't even as good as a dog? Who am I? The head of the Seokgyeongjang is Yeonjeokha. Right now, I'm staying at Hyeoncheonmun's inn for a while. Wash your neck clean and wait. I'll take care of the wolves first and then I'll go look after them."
Jeong Kyung-woo's mouth opened wide at the sound like thunder from the sky.
He was a master who was reputed to be stronger than most of the disciples of the sect if it was Hyeoncheonmun's rival.
So why did he show hostility to himself?
“Daehyup, Daehyup, I met Daehyup for the first time today. I have never mentioned the great name of Daehyeop. I don't know what's going on, but it's clearly a misunderstanding."
“Stop talking about dogs grazing. If you're curious, ask the Somunju of Hyeoncheonmun. Because that human tried to break his limbs and looked after me.”
After he had finished speaking, he disappeared from the spot like a ghost.
Jung Kyung-woo narrowed his eyes with a blank face.
Everything that happened to him seemed like a dream.
He might have believed it was a dream if it hadn't been for the huge head of the blood wolf lying next to him.
Is there anyone else who has been crushed under the feet of the demonic beast, Blood Rang, and has been threatened by rival enemies one after another?
Woo-woo-.
Boo-.
Suddenly, bloody cries were heard from all over the room.
Unlike the first time when I was relaxed, I felt like I was being chased somewhere.
It must be because of the yeonjeokha.
Soon after, a group of bloodsuckers appeared on the street.
Surprised, Kyung-kyung hurriedly took a step back and stomped his butt on his gaze.
However, the Blood Rangs didn't even pay attention to him.
As many as a dozen of them ran to the north gate like mad like a herd of frightened bulls.
Jung Kyung-woo soon found out why the bloodlines were doing this.
The dagger, less than a foot long (approximately 30 cm), mercilessly hacked at the body of the laggard.
If you fall behind even for a moment, you will die, so you have no choice but to look forward and run desperately.
Suddenly, all the blood clots that stained the room with blood disappeared.
When the street was quiet, people opened the store doors and came out one by one.
Contrary to the bright faces of the people, Kyung-Woo Jeong had an expression of chewing shit.
It is because of the continuous drop that disappeared after pouring endlessly.
‘Ask the Somunju of Hyeoncheonmun? what? I've never been so clear-mouthed about the jeokha.'
A mountain of gold approached him as he stood with a devastated face.
“Jeong Dae-in, you are safe. Fortunately, the. It is said that Hyeoncheonmun's kite Daehyeop defeated the Blood Rang. It seems that this winter will pass somehow.”
“… … .”
Jung Kyung-woo, whose screening was complicated, did not answer and hurriedly took his steps.
He is trying to find the Somunju of Hyeoncheonmun.
“Jeong Dae-in?”
Geumsan called with an absurd face, but Jung Kyung-woo did not look back and walked away.
Saneum County.
Hyeoncheonmun.
Kyung-Woo Jeong immediately went to Hyeoncheonmunju.
He didn't know when Yeonjeokha would come and harm him, so he had to know the reason.
“… … When I asked his name in the hope of repaying the favor, he suddenly got angry. And he made a curse that was difficult to put into his mouth. Saying he's not even a dog, washing his throat and waiting. To be honest, I saw the first grand concert today. So I said, ‘There seems to be a misunderstanding’, and if you are curious, ask the owner of Somun. So Moonju, perhaps it's my fault Do you know what this is?”
Kyung-kyung Jeong looked at Socheon-wu with hot eyes.
He wanted to know why he had to listen to Yeon Jeok-ha like that.
“Yes, I know what the Yeondaehyeop is doing.”
“You know? What is it? that is? What did I, who didn't even know him, do wrong?"
While speaking, Jeong Kyung-kyu tapped his chest to make a 'puck-puck' sound, perhaps feeling frustrated.
“Do you remember having a drink with me at Sowollu a few days ago?”
“Why is that?”
“It’s because of what Jeong Dae-in said that day about ‘Biseunggwahae’. Didn’t he ask Gong Ji-yu to send another disciple since Gong Ji-yu’s conduct was not good?”
In an instant, the blood disappeared from Jung Kyung-woo's face.
"omg! Did Yeon Dae-hyeop and Gong Ji-yu have a relationship like that? no! If such a thing happened, you should have told me right away!”
Kyung-kyung Jeong screamed and hit the table.
Gong Ji-yu's face was smooth, and Yeon-jeok-ha was also full of blood, so it was only natural.
“Not like that. If that were the case, rumors would spread right away. I was also criticized for speaking carelessly about Gong Ji-yu in front of the Daehyeop yesterday. hum, hum.”
So Chun-wu cleared his throat as if he was embarrassed by what I said.
I don't know what kind of disgrace this is while dreaming of being a 狐假虎威.
