Chronicles Of The Martial God’s Return - Chapter 4

Episode 4

“Hmm….”

“Hmm….

Dan Woo-hyeon swallowed a groan as he looked at the things lined up in the yard. Before his eyes, there were all kinds of wild vegetables and a roe deer strewn about from the mountain.

As I was suppressing a moan while looking at that, Hwa So-mi also moaned in the same position. It was as if he was imitating Dan Woo-hyeon.

“How should I eat this so that people can say that I enjoyed it?”

“What about Somi? “I think it’s best to season the vegetables and grill the roe deer.”

Hwa So-mi answered very easily.

Since there was no one who could cook in the first place, the fact that it had to be baked or eaten plain did not change.

It was also a waste to waste time thinking about other things.

The best thing to do is to just eat during this time.

“But isn’t it a bit much?”

“Uhm- Then where should I put it?”

Dan Woo-hyeon didn’t eat that much. On the other hand, Somi, who was at an age when she should have been eating, ate a lot.

When I first saw him, the haggard appearance that seemed like a lump in his neck was gone, and he was now quite plump.

It was thanks to Dan Woo-hyeon, who caught and fed fish, wild boars, and roe deer for every meal.

However, the amount of ingredients in front of me was considerable. Unless Somi’s stomach is the size of a fire barrel and swallows a whole roe deer, she has no choice but to stay.

Perhaps because I had been a beggar for a while, I felt quite a waste of food.

There was no doubt that if you dried it in a place where there were no animals or birds, it would make quite an appetizing dish.

“There’s nowhere to put it.”

“You can’t leave it outside.”

Hua Xiaomi shrugged her small shoulders. Dan Woo-hyeon also nodded.

It was okay to build a large house, but when we actually started looking for ingredients like this, there was no space to put them.

It was because no warehouse was built.

“I can’t do it.”

In the end, Dan Woo-hyeon picked up the hammer and nails.

The intention was to build a warehouse in a corner of the manor.

“Are you making it again?”

“hmm…! “Would it be okay if there wasn’t even a warehouse in a good manor?”

“That’s true too. Hehe, then I’ll help you too!”

Hwa So-mi groaned and lifted each item one by one.

Although the only tools and wooden nails available were quite heavy for a child, I kept groaning because it was quite heavy.

Dan Woo-hyeon looked at it and laughed.

So, should we build a warehouse first?

Knock knock knock –

Hwa So-mi, who turned seven this year, was looking at Dan Woo-hyeon with a curious expression. The sight of Dan Woo-hyeon holding a hammer in his hand and starting to build something was reminiscent of a goblin.

And that hammer was a goblin bat.

There was nothing you couldn’t make if you held it in your hand and shook it.

Hwa So-mi thought.

I guess Dan Woo-hyeon was a carpenter before he became a beggar. Although he said no, he believed that his thoughts were clear about this.

Maybe it’s because I’m embarrassed.

Otherwise, how can we make all these things well?

Even now, he was holding a large piece of wood in his hand and throwing it around.

Not only is it beautiful, but the wood looks so heavy that even if your parents were alive, you wouldn’t be able to lift it easily.

We move and create such things without any hesitation.

It’s truly amazing.

Not long after I picked up the hammer and started pounding, the shape of the warehouse was already complete. How many people in the world can make something like that in such a short amount of time?

‘Amazing, my uncle!’

I felt proud as I looked at it.

I realized once again that my choice was not wrong. Even when my parents were alive, my father made many things. However, even though most of them were easy, there were many more times when I failed.

In that sense, Dan Woo-hyeon was truly a genius.

Hwa So-mi, who was laughing brightly, suddenly hardened her expression.

When I think of my parents, my heart still aches.

He was downcast for a moment, but soon regained his smile.

Because Hwa So-mi is not alone now.

I looked at Dan Woo-hyeon in front of me and smiled without even realizing it.

While I was thinking about that, the warehouse was already completed. By creating windows for good ventilation and inserting a gate, a decent space was created.

“Wow – that’s cool!”

“Haha, it came out better than I thought.”

Dan Woo-hyeon was also proud. Now I have a place to store and organize most of my items.

The manor seemed even more plausible.

The dead roe deer was cleaned and the wild vegetables were organized and put in. As I closed the door and came out, I felt somehow refreshed inside.

“But…”

“What are we eating?”

Hwa So-mi tilted her head. I put everything I needed to eat in the warehouse.

It’s not a big deal to take it out again, but today I wanted to eat fish more than meat or raw vegetables.

Dan Woo-hyeon, who recognized that feeling, smiled and opened his mouth.

“Would you like to go fishing for the first time in a while?”

“great!”

Hwa So-mi smiled brightly.

Dan Woohyun thought.

I thought that maybe there was someone who received heaven’s blessing.

He must have appeared that way to others as well. He was gifted with a genius for martial arts, a quick understanding of it, and the brains to apply it.

He had all the greatest talents that martial artists could not help but envy when they heard about him, but now he

felt as if he had somehow lost.

This is none other than Hwa So-mi.

He first made a fishing rod.

And since I needed bait, I caught an earthworm. Digging the ground and catching earthworms was no task for him.

Before he knew it, there were about ten earthworms writhing in his container.

But that wasn’t the problem.

The moment Hwa So-mi dug the ground, it was teeming with earthworms. It seemed like the small container was already filled with close to a hundred earthworms.

At first, I thought it was just luck, but when I thought about it, it seemed like Hwasomi always started with a lot of earthworms every time she went fishing.

That could have been the case.

It might just be that there were a lot of earthworms in the place where Somi was digging. But after I started fishing, my thoughts changed significantly.

“Ahh! “I caught it again!”

The fishing rod that Hwaso-mi is currently holding is made from a crude tree branch. When a big fish is caught, it is bound to break or the fishing line breaks, but this kid never broke even when a big fish was caught.

Even during the half-hour tour, Danwoohyeon had at most three fish.

Because the seeds were so small, two were released, and the remaining one was at most the size of the palm of one’s hand.

However, Hwa So-mi had already caught more than fifteen fish.

There was not a single broken line or loose hook, and most of the 15 fish caught were large catches.

It seemed as if the fish were being caught by this child.

Contrary to his cute appearance, Dan Woo-hyeon has already broken three fishing rods and if he thinks he’s caught something, he runs away while fishing, or the bait is swept away as soon as he is pulled up.

Dan Woo-hyeon, who thought he had a certain sense of pride in fishing, painfully realized what a fish catch was today when he saw the pixel beauty.

No, it was far from fish attire.

Dan Woo-hyeon was the one who hunted the roe deer when he climbed the mountain, but all the wild vegetables were Hwa So-mi’s work.

In fact, Dan Woo-hyeon didn’t even remember telling Hwa So-mi what edible vegetables looked like.

However, it seemed like he was just picking them haphazardly, and before he knew it, he had brought in an amount that was likely several times more than the number of wild greens that Dan Woo-hyeon had collected.

It was safe to say that all the herbs in the warehouse were dug up and picked by Hwa So-mi.

‘This child is blessed. ‘I’m so lucky.’

For example, let’s say you pick up twenty stones from the floor and throw them high into the sky. No, let’s actually throw it away. It’s not something that will hurt you too much, but it will still hurt quite a bit if you get hit.

Dan Woo-hyeon threw twenty small stones into the sky.

It rose high and then came down like hail.

Crack-tap-tap-.

Stones rained down on Dan Woo-hyeon’s head.

It hit my entire body, including my shoulders and head.

But what about the pixel beauty up close?

“huh? “Why are you doing this?”

There wasn’t even a single hit. Since they were sprinkled in all directions, it was normal for at least one to graze or get hit, but the moment the stone was thrown high, the wind that blew pushed away the stones that fell on Hwa So-mi’s head.

‘That’s amazing…’

He couldn’t help but be truly blessed by heaven.

“You are blessed.”

“yes?”

“No, it’s nothing. “It’s enough to catch this much, so let’s go.”

“yes!”

Hwa So-mi suddenly stood up. When Dan Woo-hyeon saw the fish being caught gruntingly being lifted, he accepted it with a grin.

Hwa So-mi bowed her head and said hello.

It probably means thank you. Dan Woo-hyeon, who had never received such an example from anyone before, was still unfamiliar with the sight, but is now gradually getting used to it.

“Look at this! this! “It’s a butterfly, it’s rain!”

Watching the butterflies fluttering around, I smiled brightly and ran after them. I was very worried that he might fall, but I just watched him play without saying a word.

The child chasing the butterfly soon stopped in one place.

He must have seen something, so he squatted down and stretched out his hand.

I guess I’m no longer interested in butterflies.

“What’s this?”

Somi pointed to something hidden between the bushes without hesitation. Danwoo-hyeon, who was watching it from the side, twitched the corners of his mouth and smiled awkwardly.

“Wild ginseng (山藝).”

“Wow… oh!”

He really was a great kid.

A rumor began to spread.

There is a manor that was suddenly built near Dongjeongho Lake.

When rumors circulated that a manor of that size was built in just a few days, many people laughed and dismissed it as a lie.

This is because I know very well how strong and solid the ground nearby is.

Not only was there solid ground, but there were also large stones stuck here and there, so in order to build a manor, they had to be removed one by one.

And because the surrounding area was so thick with trees and bushes, even the trees had to be cut down one by one to be able to do anything.

A manor was created in a place like that?

People were just laughing it off.

However, there were places where this was not possible.

A government office that manages the area around Dongdong Lake.

County Commander Hong Won-chang looked at the police officers with a puzzled expression.

“Is that true?”

“I’m not sure… but there are rumors going around.”

Hong Won-chang sighed and sighed. It is possible for someone to settle in unclaimed land. However, the area around Dongjeongho Lake was all national land, so nothing could be built without permission from the government.

If this rumor was true, it was not something to be taken lightly.

Of course, it would be an absurd lie.

“That’s funny. How can you say that you got a job in just a few days? “It wasn’t created by a ghost.”

“I think the same thing, but I think I should give it to you after seeing it first.”

The two people snorted and laughed as if they were ridiculous.

No matter how much I thought about it, it didn’t make sense. It seemed like it was probably a tall tale made up by people who like to make things up.

However, for the first time in a while, I had a great opportunity to get away from work.

Hong Wenchang smiled and stood up.

“I’m curious, so

let’s take a look.”

“Are you okay?”

“Haha, if there is a ghost, we should catch it. Who was I? This is Hong Won-chang, the current governor. ha ha ha!”

The man lowered his head as he looked at Hong Won-chang with a big smile. Occupying the position of county governor was by no means an easy task.

Therefore, it was only natural for Hong Won-chang to show such confidence.

“Then I will pick you up right away.”
