Peerless Dad - Chapter 8
Peerless Dad 《지천명 아비무쌍》
Chapter 8 Hostage – What will you bastards do!
“Uwaak!”
The dagger that I picked up from the first man I killed was very useful. Of course, I could kill with a single blow, but there is still a difference between holding weapon in my hand and not having one.
“Down!”
As I shouted, Cheon Myo lowered his head, and the little stone I threw flew over his head.
Pook!
The sound of people’s head breaking isn’t very good to hear, however, it is much better to be the one hearing that sound instead of the one dying.
In an instant, I defeated five, and the last one ran away, showing his back.
‘This mission is important, so why did they only send rookies?’
It is a fact that veteran warriors know that you should never show your back even when running away.
Of course, even seasoned warriors sometimes show their backs. However, there were very few such moments, and even if there were, it was only when you have higher number than your enemies, leaving your chances to luck and running with all your might.
We are three. There is only one running away. Another unpleasant sound was heard from the flying stone.
“How many people did we encounter till now?”
I just murmured, but Cheon Myo replied.
“The fifty-fourth.”
“You were counting?”
He is good at managing people as well as with numbers. I was counting too, but why was he counting this?
“It will be sixty soon.”
There was no time to think about anything else. I felt the presence of 6 people not far from where we were fighting.
“What are you doing! Run!”
I ran with the boy on my armpit. It was fortunate that he was skinny, I didn’t feel that burdened while carrying him and running.
“Keoheok.”
Damn it. The boy vomited blood, he was given first aid, but he’s still in a serious condition. No matter how careful I run with the kid on my side, the shaking is not good for him.
“Are you okay?”
“Do I look okay?”
He’s such a piece of shit. It was clear that he was born with a golden spoon in his mouth and only lived a life with people around him acting like his subordinates.
I really don’t like putting my life on the line for a guy like this, but what can I do? This is the price I have to pay.
“Be a little patient. Once we get out of Henan, things will be much better.”
“Just bring me back alive. You will be compensated for all the feelings you have now.”
It’s won’t be cheap, but it doesn’t seem like a bluff.
Yes, I have already received the compensation, but if they refuse to give me more, I will be the only one losing out.
‘Just think that you’re running while carrying a treasure.’
As I thought that I was carrying a treasure, not person, it made me realize that I am certainly a snob.
“Damn it! Left.”
While running Cheon Myo threw throwing weapons to the left.
Whiri-ri-ric!
Pinwheel-shaped weapons flew, it was the size of a child’s palm by the thickness of a fingernail. It was pretty good, it is said that throwing weapons are hard to handle, but Cheon Myo seems to be familiar at using them. However, it was only quite a bit, and not elaborate.
“Ahhhhhh!”
At the same time as they screamed, three people leaped out from the foot of the mountain on the left.
But where is it? There is one guy lying down in the place where the three guys came from. Cheon Myo is certainly paying for his meals as he reliably did his job well.
I jumped in stride and swung the dagger I was holding.
“Ahhh!”
Watching one of them fall out without landing properly, I raised my foot toward the remaining two.
Paaak!
While I was killing one, the sword of the remaining enemy brushed my neck. He turned his back to perform a kick, and Cheon Myo swung his sword at his waist, aiming for the gap.
“Is it fifty-eight?”
“That’s right, why are you counting things like that?”
I answered briefly. “Habit.”
When I was a mercenary, I used to fight in the battlefield of others and get paid for each head I cut. That’s why I count numbers that don’t even need to be counted.
‘Besides, these guys are from Murim, so they’re going to be more expensive.’
However, for Murim-ins, their skills are not so good. I’m not trying to put gold on my face, but one of them got done in by Cheon Myo’s throwing weapon, a second class warrior.
I always ask myself this, am I really weak? Even the First Class colleagues I have, and the people who were looking down on people because of their high ranks, doesn’t seem to be that amazing to me. Of course, I also think that I can beat the other warriors with a single punch.
‘Should I test it once?’
Among the people around me that I always see, Captain Ham, the captain of the first class warriors, was a person worth having a close relationship with.
‘If that’s the case?’ Thinking about it now, I might try to fight for nothing and get myself into trouble. No, it was a relationship that would have been enough.
‘But these guys are too weak.’
I was firmly determined, but I never felt a sense of crisis with my back cringing. So it’s getting on my nerves.
‘Stop it. Then I’ll let loose, just like in the old times.’
But the face of the ladylike dude keeps popping up.
‘That is all because of this guy.’ It keeps getting on my nerves, and what he kept coming to mind was, in the end, the boy who had his life in my hand. This guy doesn’t resemble that ladylike dude much.
‘Ah! Come to think of it, this disrespectful way of speaking was a bit similar. That’s must be why.’
His tone was like this. How did I meet him and fight. No, it doesn’t matter now.
But I wanted to ask the boy, ask if he knew him. But how should I ask him?
I don’t even know the name of that ladylike dude, should I ask “do you know someone who just looks like this?” I couldn’t ask that.
We need to get out of here first. Why do I keep thinking about it!
“Let’s go to Sanmenxia!”
After yelling at Cheon Myo, I started running again.
If you take a boat from Sanmenxia to Shaanxi, you will find the Sword Gate area, not Heavenly Dragon Society. Nevertheless, the reason why I want to go there is because the density of the encirclement in the south seems to be thinner. Also, “he” is in Sanmenxia.
‘He said that he will kill me if we met again. Whether I die by his hands or die by these bastards’ hands, it’s all the same. Still, he’s a little better.’
If I can only get on that madman’s ship, we will be able to escape somehow. It makes sense as long as I don’t die at his hand. We ran like crazy!
Strong experts at Heavenly Dragon Society can make a sound while squeezing their fists. But if you’re looking for an eight-year-old who can make these sounds, there isn’t going to be many.
Pook!
The blocking sound was quite as loud as the screaming sound.
“Aya! Hyung, you’re using too much power.”
“I told you to avoid properly, not to block the attack. I think we already did this six times.”
“Then make it a little slower! I won’t be able to avoid it just because you told me to avoid it.”
Donghyeon shouted as he rubbed his severely swollen left wrist.
“That’s why an attack is called an attack, how can I slow it down.”
He talked profoundly, but Gunghyeon couldn’t take his eyes off Donghyeon’s wrist. Then he immediately said.
“Let’s stop today.”
“Let’s continue. Why?”
When Donghyeon answered as if he was a little angry, Gunghyeon grabbed Donghyeon’s hand.
“Come on. Let’s use cold water.”
Although Donghyeon responded as if he had been angry, he followed as soon as Gunghyeon caught him.
“Nanny, cold water!”
As Gunghyeon went into the house and made a loud noise, Mrs. Hwang appeared with a basin. Then he said, laying the basin loudly on the table.
“Aigu! I told you to not overdo it when you are play fighting.”
“It’s not play fighting, it’s martial arts training. Nanny doesn’t even know that?”
“I told you that you shouldn’t be injured, whether it’s play fighting or martial arts training. If you keep doing it with each other, you’re going to get hurt.”
Donghyeon smiled at Mrs. Hwang’s words.
“It’s okay, nanny. Last time, I won by bitchslapping him first. So, hyung also used cold water.”
“What bitchslap? Bitchslap. Don’t use such a crude word in front of me. Come on.”
Mrs. Hwang hugged Donghyeon, put him on her lap, and rolled up the hem of his cuffs.
“Aigu! Look at this swelling. It’s black and blue. Stop play fighting.”
“It’s not play fighting, it’s martial arts training.”
“Be quiet. I can’t work anywhere else when you’re getting hurt like this. Going around with bruises like this, other people will think that I’m beating you.”
When Mrs. Hwang put a wet towel on Donghyeon’s wrist, Gunghyeon said with a smile.
“You just have to work your whole life in our house. If I make a lot of money later, I will pay nanny well.”
“Hey, I don’t want that, so be careful. Later, if you get bigger, your bones break.”
Donghyeon replied.
“By then, my bones are also thick, so they won’t break. You do not have to worry.”
“Don’t talk like that.”
With her right hand, he put a handkerchief on Donghyeon’s wrist, and Mrs. Hwang pushed him as if hitting Donghyeon’s head with her left hand.
Someone seemed to think that Mrs. Hwang was abusing the children, but the brothers made eye contact with Mrs. Hwang and laughed.
From the time they could remember, she was their nanny, and until last year, they were touching her breasts whenever they took a nap. If they had a mother that was only told when their dad drank a lot, they wouldn’t have a nanny now.
Although they were young, the brothers, no the siblings knew it well.
Mrs. Hwang asked. “By the way, you said you were practicing martial arts all day at Martial School, do you have to do it at home too?”
“The kids don’t practice with us.”
Mrs. Hwang asked, wondering at Gunghyeon’s answer.
“Why? Are they ignoring you?”
“Huu. Father is a first class warrior. They don’t even know, they don’t even know how awesome he is.”
Mrs. Hwang was angry at Donghyeon’s answer.
“They are not any better than you, except for the fact that they have better parents!”
“Nanny, my father is also good.”
“Huh. Honestly, I think my father is the strongest. But he’s not good at studying.”
Mrs. Hwang realized she had made a mistake with what she said.
“Your father is a great man. This nanny made a mistake. When your father returns, you should just ask him to move you to the Twin Dragon School that he originally intended to send to. There are also some of the top warrior’s children, so no one will ignore you much.”
Gunghyeon asked. “There is also a Bong in Twin Dragon School, right?”
Bong is Mrs. Hwang’s youngest son.
At that time, the Noh family did not have nursing mother for their children, so Mrs. Hwang’s milk was used to raise the siblings along with Bong.
“Right. Thanks to your father, Bong was able to go there. Your father is such a powerful person, there will be no one who can ignore it.”
At Mrs. Hwang’s explanation, Gunghyeon said, hesitantly.
“But Bong will hate it.”
“Huh. Bong hates us, so if we go, he will hate it.”
“Why does Bong hate you? I was all breastfeeding and raising you together.”
“You don’t know nanny.”
Donghyeon raised his head and said, looking at Mrs. Hwang.
“Bong was always mean to us because he thinks that we stole his mother.”
“Huh. He’s been mean to us a lot.”
When he agreed with Gunghyeon, Mrs. Hwang was embarrassed and said.
“What are you talking about? Did Bong beat you so much?”
“Then, do you hate us?”
“It’s not like that. It’s because Bong doesn’t know well yet. So you have to get along well.”
“We’re not telling Bong. Ah. Actually it is. Nanny has a lot of time with us. You see Bong only in the evening. That’s why we let him win if we fight, but we’re sorry, we’re sorry that we are taking away from Bong.”
With the same expression, he looked at the brothers who looked at her as if they were sorry, and said Mrs. Hwang, reaching out his arm and holding Gunghyeon tightly.
“Nanny will talk to Bong. So you should always get along well.”
“Huh. Bong is the nanny’s son.”
“Yes. Bong is our family.” In response to the brothers’ answer, Mrs. Hwang thought of her youngest son, giving her arm even more strength.
‘You mean he thought that way?’
In fact, she was sorry too. Because she thought she was neglecting her own children because she was looking after other people’s children.
However, the monthly salary from Heavenly Dragon Society was feeding her family. In addition, I used to take care of her family whenever I did not forget the Noh Gajang. Wasn’t the husband’s gambling disease solved by Noh Gajang himself?
“When you think of Bong like that, this nanny feels more comfortable. Thank you in the future.”
“Yes, nanny.”
Watching the brothers answer at the same time Mrs. Hwang put down Donghyeon and asked.
“What shall I cook today?”
“That’s it. Something we eat on our birthdays.”
“Yes, that’s it.”
There is no name for the dishes the brothers say for ‘that thing’. This is because it is a dish created by Mrs. Hwang.
Pork and chicken are fried like dumplings, and then boiled carp is ripped out and mixed with various spices.
“Good. But it will be a little late for dinner to eat it.”
After Hwang rolled up her arms and sleeves,
She asked as if suddenly thought of it.
“By the way, where did Seohyun go?”
“These days Seohyun is not playing with us.”
“Huh. In the evening, she goes to study.”
“You should study writing too. Your father said that, when he returns, he will check the Thousand Word Classics.”
The brothers laughed at Mrs. Hwang’s Suggestion.
“Why are you laughing?”
“Father doesn’t know the characters.”
“I’ve already finished talking with Seohyeon. I will not let him know when I take the letter test.”
“What, then, are you saying you would lie to your father?”
Donghyeon replied.
“I won’t lie. It’s just a little late, but I study letters every day.”
Hwang said. “Be more like Seohyun, she does both.”
“Because Seohyeon is a girl.”
“What does it matter that Seohyeon is a girl?”
Gunghyeon replied. “A woman can’t be a warrior later. So she has to study writing.”
“Huh. There are no women among the warriors.”
“These kids really. A warrior among women, why not? Nanny has never seen it, but there should be many female warriors are in the castle.”
“So it’s only in the castle. The male warriors guard the gates and goes outside.”
Mrs. Hwang shook his head as he saw the brother pushing that ridiculous logic.
“If you can’t talk to me, Seohyun will.”
Frightened by Mrs. Hwang’s words, the brothers ran out, making a sound of woodang-tang-tang.
“Donghyeon be careful with your arm!”
Mrs. Hwang shouted hastily, but the brothers had already been out the door for a long time.
“We just need to go a little more.” Of course the boy. I still don’t know the name of this disrepectful guy.
‘I don’t even want to ask, but.’
In any case, not only the boy, but also Cheon Myo couldn’t run properly, as if he is running out of breath.
“That, I think I heard it before.”
“It’s real this time. Just a little more.”
“That too.” No, then what should I do?
Because there are three of us, and one is wounded so we couldn’t escape properly. It was a little bit long, but anyway, who was the one responsible on keeping you alive until now?
I wanted to say that, but it’s not good to break their morale for nothing.
After all, Cheon Myo was the one who is paying for our meals. Compared to me who earns two gold, the second class warrior who receives only one gold is paying more.
In any case, it means that you deserve to complain about this operation with me.
‘Damn it!. I must apply for an additional allowance.’
Considering what happened while coming here for 15 days, I, or we, were well qualified.
The reason why I accepted this operation in the first place, took risks and went to the meeting point, and finally, even though I had already done my job, was because I had to work for the money that was paid to me. Of course, if things were so urgent that I had to go to that madman, I would have thought differently, but since it had already happened, I was only doing my best. And I wanted to do my best to get more benefits.
Isn’t this the right mindset, whether it’s a person who eats a knife, a person who smells ink, or a person who lives on a monthly salary?
“Hold up a little. It’s really true this time.”
“I’ll tell you that I’ll try to trust it once again.”
He doesn’t make any complaints as he’s a guy who pays for food. Anyway, when I was complaining now, it seemed that he knew that we are in the same situation, but he had no strength left to argue. And this time it really is.
We only need to cross two mountains. Wouldn’t it really be necessary to go a little longer?
We ran and ran. Like that, I crossed one mountain, crossed another, and went beyond.
“We put an encirclement here just in case, but you really came here.”
However, dozens of black clothed men were blocking the lane in front. I couldn’t just pretend that I didn’t know. There was too much blood on our clothes for that.
‘I just hope he’s also a sloppy guy this time again.’
But this time he really seemed to be from Murim. In particular, the aura of the person who opened his mouth at the back was so strong that my body reacted first after a long time.
‘Even if I can’t do much, I should do as much as our captain. Captain Ham said that he was strong. Did he say he was a master who reached the peak? Damn it! I don’t know what the peak is.’
I heard the experts who reached the peak can take on 10 opponent at once. Then he would be extremely strong, and then there was a high probability that I wouldn’t even be his opponent.
But who am I? I lived as a mercenary for seven years. After killing people for the first time, I was also fought monsters. Of course, I don’t do anything like giving up without trying to fight. In addition, the battle between life and death is a game that can’t be determined only by their martial skills.
“Hey, Cheon Myo.”
“Yes, hyung-nim.”
“If you can run away, run without looking back.”
The tension of Cheon Myo was transmitted to my skin.
I have kept him alive so far, and I wanted to save him if possible, but I can’t help it.
I wanted to do it, but I can’t. First of all, I need to live. It didn’t seem like I could afford to take care of him.
Still, he kept his loyalty to me, and I personally warned him that he might be thrown away, so I kept what I would do.
“Hey, little bastard. What’s your name?”
“Why do you want to know my name in this situation?”
He’s a guy who doesn’t have a respect to the end, I didn’t even know if was going to die.
“I’m going to call you little bastard from now on.”
“Crazy guy.” In a way, he’s better than Seohyun. Seohyun may behave appropriately at the age of eight, but this guy only seems about fourteen or five, but he doesn’t show any fear.
The little bastard continued speaking. “If worse comes to worst, you can just throw me away and run. If those guys are smart, they won’t let me die.”
I’m glad he said this, thanks to this, I came up with a good idea. Still, I’ll have to check.
“Then why did those guys hurt you so much?”
The little bastard did not answer. However, the answer is no answer. It might really work.
I approached the black clothed man while holding the little bastard and Cheon Myo followed closely behind. I spoke to the black clothed man, which is a little special among the black clothed men.
“Are you looking for this guy?”
The black man nodded silently.
“Will you open the way if I hand this one over?”
This time, he shook his head from side to side.
I said to the boy. “Your wounds are severe, but if you fall into their hands anyway, you’ll die more painfully. Shall I just kill you without pain?”
The little bastard must have looked at me with the expression “What bullshit are you talking about?”
But, unfortunately, I did not look at his expression, my gaze was at the black clothed man.
The black clothed man’s gaze remained unwavering, and I was shaken that much.
Huik! As my hand went down, the little bastard screamed as if he had been surprised.
I still looked at the black clothed man and asked the little bastard.
“I will kill you by crushing your skull, but I will keep your body intact. You don’t want your neck to be separated from your body, do you?”
He did not budge.
“This bastard.”
Did this little bastard tell me something that is not true?
Won’t he budge? If his words are true, he will budge, right?
“Then I could have bitten my tongue and died. It may hurt, but, still, I don’t want my head separated from my body.”
The moment I grabbed the nape of the little bastard, the black clothed man reacted.
‘Yes, it would have been good if budged without any reason.’
“Stop.” The black man’s mouth opened.
“Give to us and I’ll spare you.”
“Really?”
“I keep my promise.”
“Then, get out of our way first.”
“The first thing you need to do is to give him to us.”
I laughed. This person is trying to kill us with our eyes wide open.
“I don’t believe in words. I believe in action. The moment I get on the boat to Sanmenxia, I’ll hand him over to you.”
The black clothed man said. “I don’t believe in words either. Put him down first.”
“You know I can’t do that. Then just as planned.”
I grabbed the little bastard’s neck.
“Kuh-oh-oh!”
An inexplicable scream flowed from his mouth, and his eyes were getting redder and redder.
“Stop! I will open the way. If you break your promise, I will kill you!”
‘Okay. If we came out so quickly, it would have been good for each other this time.’
I started walking, clutching the little bastard’s neck.
“Kuh-hu-hu-hu-hu.”
I could hear the choking sound of the little bastard over and over again, but the strength in my index and middle fingers was relaxed. He won’t die with this much.
To the extent that describing it as dragging is appropriate, I dragged the little bastard and passed the black clothed men with Cheon Myo. To be precise, we were surrounded by their encirclement and began to move together.
“If you keep blocking us like this, he will really die.”
It was only then that the encirclement was released and they followed us closely.
‘I can’t walk more like this.’ I picked up the little bastard and put him on my left shoulder. And whispered in a voice that only he could hear.
The little bastard responded to my whispers. So I carried him and started walking.
I kept my breath relaxed, but I couldn’t be sure if I could withstand their attack. But is there a way?
I took a look and arrived at a small dock where only those who knew it would see.
There were no people at the dock, let alone a boat, and, there were not even a single ant. There was only a rough current winding through the canyon.
The black righteous man stared at me as if he was going to kill me.
“We have kept our promise, so give him to us.”
“Ah, we can’t just give him to you like this, we’re going to die.”
“That’s your case. Our promise was to release him when you arrive at the dock.”
I corrected him.
“It’s exactly the moment we get on the boat. I haven’t got on the boat yet.”
“Are you sure you want us to prepare a boat?”
“I’m not so careless.”
I turned my gaze away from the black clothed man and faced the dock. And I screamed with strength.
“Hey, friend! Hey, your friend! Noh Gajang has come!”
The black righteous men were surprise at my shouts and became alert, but no one came.
“Are you kidding me now? We can’t wait anymore. Give him to us. Otherwise, we will attack you.”
“Why the rush. Hang on a sec..” I answered and shouted again looking at the dock.
“Noh Gajang is here, my friend!”
The black men weren’t surprised as before, but they didn’t lower their guard. But again, no one appeared.
“This bastard dares. Do you despise me?
As soon as the black clothed man couldn’t stand it and strode toward me, I said to him.
“It’s because people aren’t very patient. He came over there.”
The black man looked around again and said.
“What do you mean?”
Seeing his words blurred, he seemed to have seen it too. A big ship coming down from the canyon.
I shouted, swinging my arms wide towards the ship.
“Hey, friend! We are here!”
The black men were nervous and surrounded us again. Then I stare at the side of the boat. Done.
The ship came in an instant.
“Here, here!”
When the ship came to a place where people could be recognized, I again swung my arm out loud.
Even in the rapids, the ship stopped at once at the dock. And a man, a little bigger than me, got out of the boat with a thump.
“Nice to meet you, my friend!”
I shouted because I was so glad, but he responded with a frown of arrogance.
“Noh, you fucking bastard! I told you before, if I lay my eyes on you again, I will kill you!”
♦
“So? How did she do it?”
Unlike Seohyeon’s impatience to urge him by holding his cuffs, Grandpa Han said with a relaxed expression.
“The Ice Queen put them under her feet and said, I want to save you, but the resentment of the dead women is too deep for that. Pay for your sins and ask them to forgive in the underworld.”
Grandpa Han’s palm crossed the air.
“Wow! Ice Queen didn’t show mercy.”
“As she said, the sins of Island-Mountain Yaksha were too great. There was no mercy in her hands.”
“I want to see her once. Will I have a chance to meet her too?”
Grandpa Han, who spoke confidently, could not give a definite answer to the question.
“Well. At the age of forty, I retired after spending a tremendous amount of money. If you go to Ice Palace, you might have a chance to see her.”
“How do I go to Ice Palace? I can go find it.”
“The Ice Palace is not a place where you can go just because you want to go. First, you have to cross the mountain, but that’s usually not a difficult road. And since it belongs to the land of the westerners, you should know how to speak the western language.”
“I can learn. It’s not hard to learn how to speak.”
Han smiled at Seohyeon’s aspiring answer.
“Yes, you will learn it easily. But where will you learn? I don’t know how to speak the Western language.”
“Then how did Grandpa go?”
“When it comes to me, there is not much of a problem. I went to Ice Palace because I was actually invited by her.”
“That’s just bragging.”
Grandpa Han jumped and said.
“What bragging! Even if everyone else sees me as a braggart, Seohyun should be different.”
“So, you really do brag.”
“It’s not a brag. If you haven’t seen it in person, can you talk so vividly that you can see it in front of you?”
“Tsk! If you think about it like that, even storytellers of the Romance of the Three Kingdom were also present when it happened.”
When she said that sentence, Grandpa Han had a hard time thinking what to say.
“This grandfather doesn’t lie. Lies are for weak people, do you think this grandfather is a weak person? He was a person who once tried to put the world under his feet.”
“Why is that person cleaning here?”
“I already told you, I realized the impermanence of life.”
“Then you have to be an ascetic or maybe you became a god and help poor people.”
“I can’t do that because I’m so obsessed with the world. It’s not a lie anyway.”
Seohyun looked at Grandpa Han and thought he was really good at speaking. Most people know it’s just bragging, but if you keep listening, you would really believe it.
‘If there wasn’t such a brag, it wouldn’t be fun.’
Nevertheless, the reason she spends a lot of time with Grandpa Han is because she had seen her dad respect Grandpa Han, and she was also having fun with him so that the time would pass.
“Egu, I forgot what to do while talking. Will you help me again today?”
As Grandpa Han stood up from the seat, Seohyeon responded as he stood up.
“I have to pay for the story I hear.”
“Good. Then let’s go.”
Han put it on the side of the wall of Scarlet Dragon Pavilion.
He grabbed a broom and handed Seohyeon a small broom made exclusively for her.
“Let’s do it.”
As Grandpa Han started sweeping the yard and proceeded, Seohyun also began to move with his shoulders side by side.
“Am I doing it correctly?”
Grandpa Han laughed and said when she saw Seohyun moving while she performed a show that seemed to dance on her shoulders.
“Right. As expected, Seohyun is smart.”
“You’ll say something if I got it wrong.”
“Even sweeping the floor is a skill. Just sweep it up. You have to brush it again in the wind, and if you miss something, you have to brush it again. Doesn’t it all end at once if you do what this old man taught you?”
“Well, that’s true.”
Grandpa Han and Seohyun began to sweep the yard of Scarlet Dragon Pavilion in a good way, so that they seemed to be a friendly Grandpa and Grandchild to the eyes of people.
“One two. One two.”
“Three four. Three four.”
“You have to keep the beat. If the beat is wrong, your feet will get twisted.”
“I know. One two, one two.”
This time, Grandpa Han kept pace.
“Three four. Three four.”
As they swept, Grandpa Han asked.
“But are you really not going to study writing?”
“I learned enough. I also talked to my dad.”
“It’s a waste. You can learn a lot with your abilities.”
“I’m not even a man, but what can I do because I learn any more? It’s not like you can change the past.”
“Yes, that’s a little more disappointing. It’s better to be born a woman though. Because Seohyun is pretty.”
“I heard it was a while ago.”
At this remark from the eight-year-old’s mouth, Grandpa Han was worried inside.
Seohyun was too smart. And as smart as she was as polite. She’s still eight years old, so it was obvious that after only ten years, hawks would line up at Noh’s house.
So he was worried, no one is perfect in the world.
I didn’t use the ominous word of beauty, but I checked it out after I got attached to her. It is the logic of the world that it is not as smooth as it overflows when it is full of ability.
‘I’m sorry, I’m sorry.’
Grandpa Han mumbled like that in his heart.
She diligently moved her hand.
♦Peerless Dad’s Parenting Journal
Now the kids also started walking.
Until a while ago, they were moving around just by crawling on their knees.
Is that all? The guys who seemed to be broken just by a wrong touch because of their plump flesh. Oh, that wasn’t what I wanted to say.
There was one problem. I wanted to say that the gates of hell were opened from the moment these guys started walking.
“Gunghyeon! Don’t!”
I prevented Gunghyeon from catching the ball he had thrown on the bed.
“Donghyeon! Why are you doing that again!”
I barely managed to get my foot on the threshold and fall back.
“Seohyeon?”
I automatically looked at the stack of paper Seohyeon was playing. I don’t know why, but Seohyeon liked tearing the paper very much.
“You should have been born a bit early as the eldest.”
However, Seohyun was precocious like a girl. I was just sitting and tearing the paper hard.
“Noh Seohyeon! Why are you eating it?”
If you didn’t just try to put it in your mouth, you were a really good daughter.
“Mrs. Hwang! What are you doing!”
In response to my urgent scream, Mrs. Hwang, who had gone to prepare my meal, ran with a tray.
“Oh, while you’ve been there for a while.”
Mrs. Hwang hurriedly lowered the tray to the table and ran to Seohyun.
“Take the kids. I’m hungry.”
I asked her to take care of the children and went to ate the meal prepared by Mrs. Hwang.
“Why? If you are full just by looking at it you don’t need to eat.”
“This hunger, and that hunger is different. I’m tired too.”
“Whenever you say that you’re tired, I only see kids all day, and they say what’s tired?”
“That.
Looking at me from the well, Mrs. Hwang said.
“It looks good, but I hate it?”
“What is it……
Ah! I quickly realized what he meant.
-It looks good, but I don’t like to look at it.. It’s a quote?
In any case, I pledged not to say that next time.
‘I need to take care of it separately.’ Seeing Mrs. Hwang accustomed to raising and soothing my kids, I decided to show my sincerity personally by adding a bonus separate from the salary given by the Heavenly Dragon Society.♦
