Chronicles Of The Martial God’s Return - Chapter 27
Episode 27 Hwa
So-mi closed her eyes tightly.
I felt the sensation of my body falling into the pond and thought that the cold water would soon cover my entire body. But no matter how much time passed, not a single drop of water remained.
When she slowly opened her eyes, Dan Woo-hyeon, who had grabbed her, was standing there.
“dad.”
“You almost fell. “You should have been careful.”
The pixel beauty was created with care, as if handling a precious jewel. It was only then that Hwa So-mi seemed to feel relieved and fell into Dan Woo-hyeon’s arms.
Hwa So-mi, with her face buried, glanced back.
I saw a big boy with a blank expression.
“Yes you bastard! What is this! “Scream that it’s safe!”
“Ah… father!”
On the other hand, Hong Won-chang shouted loudly with a red face. This is the image of a father scolding his son. If Hwa So-mi were to be harmed, it was not an issue that could be easily overcome.
Hong Won-chang’s face was full of cold sweat.
They may be worried that Hwa So-mi might be hurt or crying. Considering Dan Woo-hyeon’s personality, his son could have suffered great harm.
“That… that…”
On the other hand, Hong Jin-rang, a boy, couldn’t help but be embarrassed. Since I was born, I have never been scolded or whipped by my father even once.
But who on earth are these people to be so angry?
Hong Jin-rang’s tears welled up.
Although he is said to be a boy with the size of a bear, he is still seven years old.
I was at an age when I was frightened by my father’s yelling and became weak-hearted.
“are you okay! Somi is okay!” At that time, Hwa So-mi muttered.
He slipped out of Dan Woo-hyeon’s arms, looked straight at Hong Won-chang, and spoke loudly.
Although he was startled for a moment, he was not injured and did not fall into the water.
“Are you really okay?”
“are you okay. I was surprised for a moment. “By the way, is this the friend that Uncle Hong was talking about?”
“Haha, that’s right. What are you doing! “Why don’t you just say hello?”
Hong Jinrang was even more embarrassed.
Aside from the fact that tears came out from time to time, Hong Won-chang’s behavior was very different when dealing with that child and when dealing with himself.
He is his son and that child is a child he has never met in his life. Why is there such discrimination?
I was angry.
A poison filled my young heart.
“Hey! “Where are you going!”
“I hate you father!”
“This guy!”
Hong Jinrang turned his back and ran away. It didn’t suit me to see him running so pitifully like a bear.
Hong Wenchang looked at it for a while and sighed.
“I’m sorry, you kid hasn’t grown up yet…”
“He’s a kid with good bones.”
” yes?”
Unlike Hong Won-chang, who bowed his head in apology, Dan Woo-hyeon felt quite interested. Despite his young age, he had considerable strength.
Although he seemed to have learned basic martial arts, he was originally born with good muscles for learning martial arts.
“If you learn martial arts properly, you will succeed.”
“I… are you sure?”
Dan Woohyun nodded.
“Try to raise it well. “It would be beneficial, but it would not be detrimental.”
“Oh, I understand. “If the Grand Council says so, then it must be so.”
Dan Woohyun nodded.
He grabbed the hand of Hwa So-mi, who was standing there, and turned his back. I didn’t go out through the front door. Since many people would be paying attention, I went outside through a side door that no one knew about.
Behind me, I could feel Hong Won-chang constantly lowering his head, but he didn’t say anything except for a brief wave.
“Are you hurt anywhere?”
“are you okay. “There was no harm whatsoever.”
“Haha, that’s good. But he really looked like a bear. “It’s okay to be scared.”
“Hehe, I was really scared.”
Even thinking about it now, I felt dizzy. Because it was daytime, I didn’t scream. If it had been night, I might have screamed loudly, thinking that a bear had appeared.
“Is that kid Mr. Hong’s son?”
“It seemed like it. “Can we be friends?”
“Uhm-.”
Hua Xiaomi thought deeply.
Actually, I don’t think about it before I sleep. If it had been before, I would have definitely shook my head. But when I remembered the sight of him running away in tears a little while ago, I couldn’t help but laugh.
He smiled brightly and nodded willingly.
“He seems like a good kid! Somi will definitely be a good friend.”
“Haha, then how about going to school?”
“School… school?”
“You can meet more people and make good friends. “I can study as well, so I kill two birds with one stone.”
“Hakdang….”
Hwasomi also knows what a hagdang is. But I’ve only heard stories and never been there. I heard that there were no schools in the small slash-and-burn village, and that the school in Agyang was only attended by children of government officials or children of wealthy families.
For children like Hwa So-mi, it was a place like a dream.
“Can Somi attend the academy too?”
“of course. “If you want to do it.”
“want to do! Somi really wants to go to school!”
“Okay, let’s do that.”
It was about an hour later that I returned to the manor. When I opened the gate and went inside, I saw Jang Sam-tae tidying up the yard and Namgung So-hye was relaxing under the shade.
Hwa So-mi opened her eyes wide in surprise.
I hurriedly approached Namgung Sohye.
“sister!”
“Ah… so you’re here.”
I quietly stood up from my seat. I was already feeling the presence, but my body was not listening. He did all kinds of work from morning to evening, and late at night he went to Agyang to collect information.
And since I even practiced right before going to sleep, I felt like my body was worn out from the hard life. He patted Hwa So-mi’s head with a blurry gaze and then looked at Dan Woo-hyeon and nodded.
“You came.”
“It’s good to sell.”
“Ha, that’s right. “He’s lying down really well.”
Namgung Sohye was dazed, like someone who had given up on everything. It’s definitely different from the first time, when I was obsessed with Dan Woo-hyeon’s every word.
It’s like I’ve given up on life.
“But what kind of manor is this spacious without many people? “I really wonder what the person who wrote it was thinking.”
“I didn’t think anything of it.”
“huh? “You built it?”
“…No, it’s nothing.”
At that, Namgung Sohye once again showed a blank expression. Without even having time to catch Dan Woo-hyeon’s tail, he brushed it off.
Dan Woo-hyeon sat down on the veranda.
As soon as he sat down, Hwa So-mi rushed over and sat on his lap. The behavior was so cute that Namgoong Sohye’s eyes lit up and she tapped her knee with her hand.
‘Come sit here.’
It seemed as if he was saying something like that. Hwa So-mi glanced at Dan Woo-hyeon for a moment, then got up and quickly ran away. Soon he smiled and snuggled into Namgung So-hye’s arms.
Namgoong Sohye hugged her tightly with a bright smile.
“Oh, this cute thing! “It’s because of you that my sister survives.”
“Hehehe.” Dan Woo-hyeon quietly watched the situation.
Come to think of it, in the past two days, Hwa So-mi has been looking for Namgung So-hye more often than Dan Woo-hyeon. The time the two spend together is also considerable.
‘Is there a difference between men and women?’ I looked at the two people silently.
When Namgung So-hye tickled Hwa So-mi, Hwa So-mi laughed and Hwa So-mi also tickled Namgung So-hye. Hwa So-mi’s appearance is slightly different when she is with Dan Woo-hyeon.
It looked like a good mother and daughter playing together.
Dan Woo-hyeon scratched his head.
“A child usually cries because he misses his mother’s embrace.” Jang Sam-tae, who had already approached, muttered. The moment he heard that sound, Dan Woo-hyeon’s eyes fell on Jang Sam-tae. Although it was only a glance, Jang Sam-tae trembled and turned his back due to the tension that took his breath away.
‘Why can’t you say something? Did I say something wrong? yes?’
Jang Sam-tae grumbled and swept the yard.
“Samtae.”
Jang Sam-tae approached Geum Dan Woo-hyeon again with a bright expression on his face. It’s not like you’re training a human dog, so when are you going to scare them and call them now?
“What kind of place is called a school?”
“…It’s a place that teaches writing.”
Jang Sam-tae thought to himself.
‘Does this make you think people are idiots?’ When Jang Sam-tae, who didn’t understand why he was asking himself something he would know by asking children, met Dan Woo-hyeon’s gaze, he unconsciously turned his head and looked at the ground.
The expression on his face was a bright smile, hiding his true feelings.
“Letters? Have you ever gone to school?”
“There is none.”
“But how do you know the letters?”
“That’s right…”
When he was young, Jang Sam-tae also wanted to go to school. But it was so expensive and I couldn’t even afford it, so I gave up.
However, as time passed and my brain grew, I was able to naturally read letters around me.
As I walked down the street, people talked about it, so it easily got into my head.
It was the same for Dan Woo-hyeon.
Namgung So-hye, who was worse than she was then, opened her mouth.
“A school is not just a place that teaches letters.”
“Have you ever gone to school?”
“What do you think of me? Of course.” Huh! Namgung Sohye cleared her throat.
This is why men can’t do it. What do you do if you only provide food, clothing, and shelter for your child? The problem was that I didn’t know what I needed and wasn’t willing to think deeply.
“Teach me the thousand characters first.”
“And then?”
“I will teach you the words of Confucius and Mencius.”
Dan Woohyun nodded.
Confucius and Mencius also remembered hearing it.
He was obviously referring to the two guys who were saying things that were unbecoming of these difficult times.
A long time ago, I remembered hearing one of Shaolin’s friends muttering about him.
At that time, Hwa So-mi looked up at Nangong So-hye with bright eyes. Since he has fantasies about the academy, he seems very curious about what he is learning.
“And? “And again!”
“And then, in earnest, the Four Books and Three Books
: “You mean that difficult book?”
” yes.”
“Again! “What else is there?”
Namgung Sohye broke into a cold sweat.
If you think about it a little, you will find the things that are taught in schools. It is quite burdensome to be so attached and expectant.
“It’s letters after all.”
“It seems like there are only letters.”
“Are you really only learning letters?”
The three people looked at Namgung Sohye with disappointed expressions.
But what should I do?
If you think about it, there really is nothing to learn except letters…
She nodded with a tearful expression on her face.
