Chronicles Of The Martial God’s Return - Chapter 39

Episode 39:

My throat was stuffy.

My throat was burning as if I was standing in the middle of a dry desert.

As soon as he let out a moan, refreshing, cool water moistened his lips. It feels like you have the whole world.

I slowly regained my senses and opened my eyes blurry. The first thing I noticed was the ceiling. I thought he must have gone into a stable or something, but I wondered where he was now.

As I thought about that, my senses began to return, one by one. My body still throbbed, but as my senses returned, an idea occurred to me.

“Am I… alive?”

“I’m alive.”

I turned my head in surprise.

This is because I heard a human voice, or even a child’s voice. At the end of my gaze was a small child. The child is smiling brightly while holding a bowl filled with water in both hands.

“It’s alive!”

“Uh… that’s right.”

“Hehehe, I’m glad. “I was really worried because you didn’t open your eyes for a few days.” He smiled innocently and quietly handed me a bowl of water. Kwon Moo-jin took it without thinking, drank it, and quietly thought about it.

I definitely went into the stable and thought it was the end. Then I heard the urgent voices of children, and afterwards my memories were so blurry that I could not think of anything.

“Did you… save me?”

“It’s true that I found him, but it was my dad who saved him. Be sure to say thank you when you see it later. Hehe, I’m really glad I’m alive!”

The tone is selfless in the slightest.

This child really seemed satisfied with Kwon Moo-jin being alive.

“Oh, and I have to thank Uncle Jang too. “I had a hard time feeding him porridge every day.”

“Jang… uncle?”

“yes!”

“…here is?”

“It’s our house!”

Dansomi was excited for the first time in a long time.

I saved the person I wanted to save. Even though it wasn’t his own strength, he felt proud that he didn’t cause someone to die in front of his eyes.

What’s more, the person who I was worried about because he didn’t wake up for several days woke up, and I felt even better, and the smile didn’t disappear.

“Uncle Jang told me to let him know first thing when he wakes up. “I’ll hit you with a punch.”

“Hit me? me?”

“yes! “I always spit it out when I’m eating porridge…”

Dansomi grabbed her bowl of juseomjuseom and stood up. Because I had to inform Jang Sam-tae and Dan Woo-hyeon of this fact.

“Hehe, then I’ll go. “Please rest.”

It was really cute to see a small child walking out carrying a bowl.

Kwon Moo-jin unconsciously smiled happily and leaned against the bed.

“I… am alive.”

experienced death.

No, I just thought he was dead. Because I realized I could never survive.

But what could be more joyful than breathing like this?

‘You can still do it.’

Kwon Moo-jin’s eyes brightened.

can do. You can do it because you are alive. I gained hope that I could do anything to rise to a slightly higher place.

Then the door squeaked and opened.

As I glanced around, a strange man came in.

“Come! “Are you okay?”

Seeing him turn his back and clear his throat, I thought he was the owner of this place. Although they looked a bit strange to think that they were the parents of the child from before, there was no doubt that they were the benefactors who saved his life.

Kwon Moo-jin struggled to get up from his seat and took the gun.

“…Thank you. “You saved my life.”

“greatness! You just need to know. I wonder how hard you worked… tsk tsk. From now on, if you’re going to die, die gracefully. Do you know how surprised they are when they see you?”

“You… you have no shame. “I am sorry.”

Kwon Moo-jin bowed his head sincerely.

It is true that it was a nuisance, and it was not intentional, but it showed a bad example to the children.

“Thank you for saving my life. “I will never forget this grace.”

“Never forget this for the rest of your life.”

The man cleared his throat, turned his back and looked up at the ceiling. I could see the corner of my mouth twitching, as if it was nice to be greeted by someone.

‘He’s a good person, even if his words are a bit harsh.’

Kwon Moo-jin smiled to himself.

Then I heard footsteps again. Is someone coming? As I was unable to hide my surprise, I saw the man in the room step back and bow his head politely.

As soon as the door opens.

“Are you here, Master Jang?”

“okay.”

Kwon Moo-jin has not yet seen the face of the person who came inside. I was staring at the man as if I was shocked by the voice that came out of nowhere.

“Wasn’t that Jangju?”

“I never said I was a chieftain. “Aren’t you mistaken?”

“Hehe, it’s Uncle Jang. He is the person who cleans and cooks in our house. “Uncle Jang also made the porridge that you ate.”

Kwon Moo-jin’s back tensed when he heard Dan So-mi’s words.

I bowed my head, thinking that it was the person who saved me. It was a sincere greeting for the inconvenience caused.

But at most it was just a prank by a slave?

As I looked at him with the corner of his mouth quivering, I saw Jang Sam-tae twitching the corner of his mouth and trying hard to suppress laughter. Because of that, I almost got even more upset.

If I hadn’t heard the man’s voice later, I might have yelled.

“Seeing that you are moving normally, you seem to be in good health.” I was startled by a vaguely familiar voice. When I turned my head and looked, I saw a familiar face with a calm expression on my face.

“you are!”

“This is Dan Woo-hyeon. “He is that child’s father and the person who saved you.”

“Me me…? you?”

“Yeah, you’re lucky.”

Looking at Dan Woo-hyeon like that, Kwon Moo-jin realized one thing. I probably didn’t save you because I wanted to save you.

If it weren’t for that child, he wouldn’t have blinked even if he died before his eyes.

“Say thank you to Somi. “Because this child brought you a thousand pieces.”

Kwon Moo-jin could not refuse those words. The gaze and force of this absolute being in front of me oppressed my whole body and forced me to lower my head.

“Thank you so much. “Thanks to you, my life was saved.”

“no! It’s not! Somi really didn’t do anything. “My dad did it.”

Dansomi answered, not knowing what to do. He looked at Dan Woo-hyeon and Kwon Moo-jin alternately, then quickly hid behind Dan Woo-hyeon’s back.

“Then you two, go out for a moment. “I’m going to have a little talk with this guy.”

“yes! “Don’t forget that we decided to go fishing later!”

“Haha, I got it.”

Dan So-mi held Jang Sam-tae’s hand and walked out the door. There was an awkwardness in the room.

Kwon Moo-jin couldn’t even decide what to say first, so he couldn’t open his mouth.

The first to break the silence was Dan Woo-hyeon.

“Sit down. “It must be hard to even stand.”

“…thank you.”

As Dan Woo-hyeon said, Kwon Moo-jin actually had trouble even standing. I forced myself to get up to say thank you, otherwise I wouldn’t have gotten up from my bed.

The whole body is not a word.

“Like I said before, if it weren’t for that kid, you would be dead.”

“…I know.”

“If it’s luck, it’s luck. If it’s fate, it’s fate. In the end, the sky took your side and the wind led me to your side.” Dan Woo-hyeon’s words were very strange.

Does it feel like you’re tied to something you didn’t want to be connected to? Even though I didn’t feel like it, I thought this was natural and seemed to be following it naturally.

“I owe you… my life.”

“Don’t think of it as a debt. “I saved my child because I didn’t want to see him sad.”

Dan Woo-hyeon leaned back in his chair.

He raised his head somewhat crookedly and lowered his gaze to look at Kwon Moo-jin. It felt like I could see right through what he was thinking.

“Were you bullied by your colleagues?” “Murim is a place where you have to do whatever it takes to survive. Even if it means betrayal.”

“I know.”

“Don’t feel bad. “There’s no guarantee that you wouldn’t have done the same thing if you were in their shoes.” Dan Woo-hyeon stood up from his seat.

I said everything I had to say. I had no desire to preach to a sick person. By saving Kwon Moo-jin, Dan Woo-hyeon had fulfilled his role.

“Also, don’t get angry about it and sharpen your sword. When your heart becomes poisonous, the blade also becomes poisonous. A sharp blade will eventually break easily.”

“…I’ll keep that in mind.”

Kwon Moo-jin bowed his head deeply.

Dan Woo-hyeon gave himself a lesson. Although I knew very well that it was only a short remark and that it was not about martial arts, I felt that the feelings of love I had for Madokjin in my heart were slowly softening.

If he had not heard these voices, Kwon Moo-jin would have sharpened the blade again and again to kill Madok-jin.

“Please stay here and recuperate for the time being. If you go out with that body, will it be nothing more than a corpse?”

“Thank you…”

As soon as he heard the door closing, Kwon Moo-jin laid down on the bed. I was so exhausted that my eyelids were heavy, as if I was about to fall asleep.

‘He is a great man.’

Kwon Moo-jin truly thought so.

At best, you can change a person’s heart with just a few words.

It is even more difficult if you are someone who is sharpening a knife.

But that person changed.

The strange energy emanating from his body, not the words he spoke, calmed my mind, allowing me to become clear and make rational decisions.

This was very surprising.

‘Maybe he is a person who has reached a higher level than I thought?’

Everything about Danwoohyeon seemed mysterious.

‘Dan Woo-hyeon… Dan So-mira…?’ Kwon Moo-jin smiled.

As I remembered the faces of the two people, my mind seemed to become at peace. It was a strange feeling that he was experiencing for the first time, as he had been persistently striving for success since childhood.

My heart warmed.

This alone felt good enough.

Jureuk –

For the first time in my life, tears flowed from the warmth of another person I felt.
