Chapter 691 - I'm a passer-by
I went to the place where Hwang Woo-yeon and his family were staying.
It was clean.
In the place where the campfire was made, only cold ashes and bear bones were rolling around.
The meat he had brought with him was nowhere to be seen.
It was my mistake to leave her alone at the place of Hwang Woo-yeon's family, saying that she would have breakfast with them.
"Yah! I am learning life again like this!”
An exclamation escaped from the young man's mouth.
Even the thieves in the green forest aren't like this, but the people of Kuju are truly unpredictable.
He saved Hwang Woo-yeon's life and even gave his daughter a precious ship, but never thought he would take his own meat and leave.
It's not a big deal since you can go to a restaurant in the city for breakfast.
Rather, it was painful to know that I did not know Hwang Woo-yeon's humanity.
As soon as I heard the screams, I thought he was a useful person to carry a short spear... … .
The saying, ‘You can know 10 ways in the water, but you don’t know the 1 way in the people’ touched my heart once again.
“Tsk tsk!” he clicked his tongue and flew to the east using fortune-telling.
Heartbroken over the Hwang Woo-yeon family affair, he no longer approached the refugees.
He took a short break in the middle of the mountain while flying by fortune-telling.
The main street was crowded with refugees who had fled from Yeongcheonju, so they didn't even come close.
The problem is eating.
Since he had given the bag to Seoyoon, he had to fill his stomach in a different way.
Hunger could be appeased by hunting or gathering, but there was no time for that.
In the end, every time I passed a village or city, I went down for a while to buy food and leave.
But it didn't fit as snugly as I thought.
Even if they were hungry, if there was no village, they had to fly while hearing the growl.
Whenever that happens, he grinds his teeth, thinking of Hwang Woo-yeon's family.
This is because they created a bad prejudice against refugees.
Thanks to avoiding people, he met Bered's forces sooner than expected.
Yeongcheonju.
Yeo Joo-sung.
Namdaecheon Riverside.
around noon.
A person fell from the sky to the ferry along the Namdaecheon River.
It is jeokha that flew by fortune-telling.
River was empty, but it was well-maintained, as if it had been used a while ago.
According to the person I met in Namdaecheon, the other side of the river has already been occupied by demons from Macheon.
That is probably why the villages and ferries that developed along the river are empty.
I stared at the other side of the river.
indeed! Even in broad daylight, the gloomy sky was full of gloomy demonic energy.
“That means the light angel Vered is over there.”
When I reach my destination, I suddenly have a doubt, 'Will the demon really come to visit me?'
No, before that, why did Jincheon Gwangmyeong decide that the demon was coming to visit him?
It is true that he accompanied Menua for six days, but at that time Menua hid his identity.
Besides, when she left, she said as if we would never see each other again.
Why did such a menua, no, a demon come to visit him?
"I don't know if I'm just struggling in vain."
There was a difference in the eyes of the yeon jeokha who was scratching his head.
It was because someone from the other side of the river jumped into the water with a ‘splash!’
"what? Are you saying you want to swim across?”
Namdaecheon is a tributary of the Muryang River and has a wide river width.
In addition, the current was too strong for ordinary people to swim across.
To make matters worse, the man even put a large load on his head.
I watched with the thought of helping the man with whom I had a rivalry if he was out of his strength and drifted away.
However, the young man, who appeared to be in his twenties, advanced little by little even as he was being swept away by the current.
Maybe half an hour (an hour) has passed?
The young man, Gearko, crossed the river by himself.
Soon after, the young man crawled out of the water and gasped violently.
“Puha! omg! omg! omg!"
Yeon Jeok-ha, who was watching from the riverside, applauded with admiration.
The man's face, who belatedly discovered Yeonjeokha, was tense.
“Nush?”
“He was a passer-by. Are you a good swimmer?”
The man, Hong Yi-beom, stared at Yeonjeok-ha with suspicious eyes.
“All the people living near Namdaecheon have fled, so what are they doing here?”
"It's not what I'm doing, it's because I was passing through."
Despite the young man's words, Hong Yi-beom still had his doubts.
It was because he couldn't have come to the area where even the officers fled without any reason.
“What are you doing?”
When the other person continued to ask questions, he became slightly annoyed.
He showed good feelings, but he pretended to be some kind of missionary!
“What is that person doing?”
It was only then that Hong Yi-beom realized that his opponent had taken it unpleasantly and quickly changed his attitude.
He was the kind of person who treated others with respect if they behaved easily and treated them with respect if they behaved strongly.
“Ah, don’t get me wrong. It's not because it has a different meaning. I am from Yeojuseong, and my name is Hong Yi-beom. As the current situation is the current situation, I become wary when meeting strangers.”
“I am in love.
“As I said before, I was passing by here.”
Hong Yi-beom tilted his head.
This is because passing here means going to the other side of the river occupied by Macheon.
“If you ever intend to cross the river, don’t even dream about it.”
Hong Yi-beom shook his head excitedly.
The other side of the river was already more of a world of demons than a part of the Savior.
The sky was gloomy, and the streets were filled with monsters I had never heard of before.
All those who had been hiding in hopes of luck were devoured.
"why? Didn't you just come from there too?"
“I am lucky to have survived. As soon as he crosses the river there he will be eaten by monsters.”
Yeon Jeok-ha and Hong Yi-beom, who thought they were in the same age range, called each other “that side.”
“Are there so many monsters across the river?”
“Did you ask how many? It's as crowded as the people who gathered on market day.”
“By the way, the evacuation is quite late, isn’t it? There are no people on this side of the river, but they are coming from the other side.”
Yeon Jeok-ha stared at Hong Yi-beom.
It seems that his martial arts did not exceed the level of a vigilante, but his speech was quite bold.
Hong Yi-beom quietly turned around.
“Are you a government official?”
"No matter how many times you've been chased by an official, you're not an official, are you?"
Then, Hong Yi-beom spoke in a calm tone.
“I went to pick it up for a while because I had things I left at home.”
"aha! Did you go back to get your luggage?”
Yeon Jeok-ha said sarcastically, but Hong Yi-beom pretended not to hear anything.
In an instant, the eyes of Yeonjeokha softened.
A feeling came.
It looks like he robbed an empty house.
He often said that no matter how poor you are, there are things that thieves will steal.
That's right.
Even more so, there are many things that you forgot to take care of when you hurriedly evacuate.
Hong Yi-beom must have risked his life to bring it.
'That's why I asked if he was a government official.'
He thought of Hong Yi-beom as a petty thief.
Then he suddenly felt even friendly, like someone he had known for a long time.
“Hong hyung, this is also a relationship, so let’s have lunch together.”
"no. I'm in a hurry. There are no good places to eat around here... … .”
Hong Yi-beom refused Yeon Jeok-ha's offer to eat.
Do you mean you know who he is and eat together?
He didn't want to do it even more with someone who saw him coming as a package from the other side of the river.
However, I did not have the heart to just let him go.
He needed him all the more since, as he said, there was no good place to eat nearby.
“Do you have any dishes in mind to eat?”
Even though he refused, he pushed forward as if he had decided to eat together.
“Not only am I busy, but I didn’t tell you that there are no places to eat around here.”
“So you have to think more about what to eat.”
“Are you deaf?”
Hong Yi-beom frowned.
I don't know why the guy who was fine until a while ago is suddenly answering alumni.
“Hong hyung.”
“Why are you calling me?”
Hong, as if telling Bum not to say nonsense, tightened his eyes and shot at Yeonjeokha.
“If I ask to eat together, we will eat together.”
Along with the horse, Yeonjeokha playfully picked up a handful of pebbles from the riverside.
Then, with a raspy plosive, coarse stone dust flowed from his grip.
Knocked out— Booth—.
Yeon Jeok-ha said in a calm tone to Hong Yi-beom, who was startled.
“Hong hyung said he lived around here. I say this is the first road. I have no idea where anything is. What should I do if Hong-hyung is the only resident in this area? Shouldn't even Hong-hyung treat you as a guest? Am I wrong?”
“Coming to think of it, I think Yeon-hyung is right.”
Hong Yi-beom immediately spoke up.
He said that anyone who could grab a riverside pebble and turn it into powder deserved respect.
After making a fire on the riverside, Hong Yi-beom put up a pot he brought from an empty house.
Then he tossed in the rice, dried beef jerky, and dried vegetables and stirred with fervor and fervor.
Yeonjeokha, who was sitting leaning sideways next to him and watching Namdaecheon, said as if talking to himself.
“When did Hong-hyung start that job?”
“I did it three years ago.”
“How old were you three years ago?”
“I was twenty-two.”
“Uh, are you late? Since I started at 16, I am a senior. I am a senior.”
Hong Yi-beom glanced at Yeonjeok-ha with puzzled eyes.
He is said to be a great senior, but as far as he knew, no one entered the security guard at the age of sixteen.
Either that or not, he continued to speak.
“I risked my life to cross the river, but was there any income? I won't take it away, so tell me honestly.”
The relationship was treated as if he were treating someone under the green forest.
“None. Originally, I was going to go all the way to Guryongpo, but I only went around the river and came back.”
“Damn it? why is this Then, what is the bag you are carrying on your head?”
“Oh, there is a paper with a picture of a monster in the pack.”
“Did you draw a monster?”
“Yes, because that is my job.”
“A job? Are you a painter? No, what kind of painter risked his life to paint?”
Along with the words, Yeon Jeok-ha reached out to Hong Yi-beom's luggage.
At that moment, the bag that had been outside for three chapters (about 9 meters) was sucked into his hand.
“Hyung hyung, I looked carefully, but I can’t use it. If you lie, I will break your palms.”
He untied his luggage with a babbling babble.
That What is this?
All I had in my pack was a brush, ink, and a wad of paper.
On the paper, various monsters were drawn in great detail.
It's kind of disappointing that you're not meeting your expectations.
The crush he had for Hong Yi-beom, who was of a similar age, quickly faded.
He put the wad of papers in his luggage and tossed them backwards with a sullen face.
Hong I-beom, who was watching Yeon Jeok-ha, cautiously took his luck.
“I belong to the police force in Yeoju Castle. To gather information about demons... … .”
“I’m not curious.”
“Ah, yes… … .”
Yeonjeokha, who had been staring at Namdaecheon with a cold face for a long time, suddenly asked.
“Have you ever seen a girl about twelve on the other side of the river?”
"doesn't exist."
I thought Hong Yi-beom was dead.
How can a little girl survive in a place full of monsters?
“What do you think of Hong?”
"yes?"
Hong Yi-beom stopped stirring the porridge and looked at Yeonjeok-ha with blank eyes.
“Do you think the demon is over there?”
"I do not know."
"I knew it. Stir well so that the porridge does not stick.”
“Yes, yes.”
Seoyoon's face flashed through Yeonjeokha's mind as he was thinking of Menua.
“Gee, it looks like I made a mistake.”
Giving her tip pouch to a 12-year-old girl in her refuge.
Her rival hit her own head with her fist and berated herself.
And he hoped that nothing would happen to Seoyoon, who reminded him of Menua.
