Chapter 14
Episode 14 of Return to War:
Three months have already passed since the Honam branch of the Black Island Association was destroyed in one night.
Just as the flow of time passing by like the wind cannot be stopped, the landscape of the manor also seemed to have begun to change somewhat.
The sun was so hot that it seemed to burn my skin, and even the blowing wind carried the heat away.
Now it seems like summer has truly arrived.
In the meantime, the manor became more perfect.
The planted trees were carefully trimmed, giving a feeling of grandeur
It was a scene that could not even be compared to six months ago.
Just like that, there was one more thing that changed.
People who live right here.
Dan Woo-hyeon looked the same as before, but the remaining two people changed a little. My weight has increased significantly compared to six months ago.
Just like humans who only eat and play, they gained weight so much that a pig could call them a friend.
Of course, Dan Woo-hyeon also changed.
He is lying on the veranda, chewing a confectionery.
I enjoyed the time like that, looking at the peaceful scenery of the manor without thinking about anything.
Anyone could see that it was the most comfortable place in the world.
Dan Woo-hyeon, who was on the veranda, quietly looked at the yard.
Waddle.
I saw Jang Sam-tae, who had gained weight so much that he could not even be compared to the agile thief of the past, tidying up the yard, sweating heavily.
Even though the amount of movement is considerable, strangely, no weight is lost. There may be one reason. It means that you are eating more than you are moving.
Just looking at it now, it was moving around and picking up things and eating them.
“Huh…”
This time I looked somewhere else.
Hwa So-mi was sitting on one side of the pavilion, eating sweets without thinking. He was smiling brightly while looking at the carp he occasionally saw in the pond.
The problem is that the child has also gained a lot of weight.
Of course, it wasn’t as fat as Jang Sam-tae, but it was still to the point where it could be said that he was quite fat.
The clothes I wore just three months ago no longer fit.
What happens now?
In fact, the source was Dan Woo-hyeon.
“Big…”
Dan Woo-hyeon scratched his head.
The more poorly a person eats, the more he or she wants to eat. Also, people who have never spent money tend to want to spend it as soon as they have money.
So this situation was all brought about by Dan Woo-hyeon.
Thanks to the money from the black society, he was able to live a prosperous life.
There is no need to hunt or fish.
If you have money, just go and buy it.
In addition, Jang Sam-tae’s cooking skills were so outstanding that no matter what ingredients he used, he could create food that could be called a delicacy.
Thanks to you, I eat more.
There are a lot of ingredients and the food is delicious. Every time I stop by the street, I buy snacks, and before going to bed, I eat my fill of alcohol and snacks and then just stretch out. Young Hwa So-mi did not drink alcohol, but still, there was no change in her eating, drinking, and playing.
The result was this.
Because of abundance, one becomes lazy.
Dan Woo-hyeon judged this to be a serious threat. Of course, I was fine with myself.
This is because the naturally circulating energy of the Heavenly Harmony Harmony also played a role in expelling bad elements that infiltrate the body.
But not those two.
In particular, since Hwa So-mi is young, she needs to put more effort into taking care of her health.
Moreover, what if she blames Dan Woo-hyeon for growing up to become a fat woman?
In the end, Dan Woo-hyeon made up his mind and stood up.
“Both of you, come here.”
The two people perked up their ears at Dan Woo-hyeon’s call. Jang Sam-tae, who was tidying up the yard, came rushing over.
It was really comical to see him waddling around with that fat body. But Hwa So-mi hesitated, perhaps because it was annoying.
It seems like it’s hard to even stand up.
He made a small grunting sound and took heavy steps. The child who used to run and burst into laughter when called was now walking awkwardly instead of running.
Dan Woo-hyeon held his head at that sight.
It really wasn’t this.
“Starting today, I will teach you martial arts, Jang Sam-tae.”
“Eh…yeah?!”
Jang Sam-tae was surprised.
What do you mean martial arts?
As a thief, he had learned some self-defense skills, but he did not have a particular teacher and was not learning good martial arts.
However, when I heard that a master like Dan Woo-hyeon was teaching me martial arts, I felt like my eyes were rolling. This was the best of luck.
My pounding heart could not calm down.
I had a feeling that it wouldn’t be long before I would learn strong martial arts skills and make a name for myself in the midfield. Jang Sam-tae swallowed his saliva and looked at Dan Woo-hyeon with eager eyes.
Dan Woo-hyeon laughed.
It was as if he had seen through Jang Sam-tae’s heart at once.
“Go to the street and buy martial arts supplies.”
“♦…”Yes?”
“Didn’t you hear?”
“No… I heard that, but the people selling it at that place are martial artists who are not even third-rate in poetry.”….” “
So, I’m telling you to buy it. “Isn’t it perfect for your level?”
Jang Sam-tae was impressed.
‘That’s right. ‘What kind of bastard is in my life?’
* * *
There are martial artists in low-ranking areas as well. Most of the items provided by the Old Daemun School were for training the mind and body rather than learning martial arts.
Most of them are worse than third-rate martial arts, and even if you try to learn them, they are not even worth learning.
Two such books were placed in front of Dan Woo-hyeon.
One is swordsmanship and the other is martial arts.
“Tai Chi Chuan and Tai Chi Sword…”.”
“Don’t you know? “It belongs to a shaman, one of the mainstays of Gupailbang.”
” shaman?”
” yes.”
“Huh…”
Dan Woohyun stroked his chin. I think I heard it somewhere, but I can’t quite remember. So, I started to ignore it and look at the details one by one.
“Jang Sam-bong”… That’s an interesting name.”
“The only one who can say that is Lord Jang.”
Jang Sam-tae broke into a cold sweat.
If the shaman’s masters hear this story, they will most likely risk their lives and take out their swords.
That is why the name Jang Sam-bong had such dignity that it should not be uttered carelessly.
However, Dan Woo-hyeon didn’t care at all and looked at the details intently, turning over each page one by one.
I couldn’t tell if I was reading it or just skipping it.
“He’s a shaman haha.”
It seems like another interesting relationship has arisen.
Dan Woo-hyeon corrected himself and looked at Jang Sam-tae and Hwa So-mi standing in the middle of the training hall. Immediately, he threw the key and placed it in front of them.
“Try to learn it.”
” to?”
“I told you to cook it.”
Hwa So-mi scurried over and picked up a secret weapon. I looked at the sign that said Taegeukgeom and then tilted my head.
I flipped through one page, then flipped through two. Since each chapter had more pictures than text, it was easy to read.
“Are you copying this?”
“okay.”
“It seems like it would be very difficult…”
“That’s what I’m saying.”
” yes?”
“It is nothing.” Jang Sam-tae listened carefully.
“It is nothing.” Jang Sam-tae listened carefully.
In fact, that person probably has no desire to teach martial arts. It was clear that he just wanted to see the two people having a hard time.
“Start.”
Although he was only at a third-rate level, Jang Sam-tae was basically learning martial arts.
Therefore, there is bound to be a difference between those who have learned it and those who have not.
Hwa So-mi is an immature child who does not know martial arts skills. It was so hard to even trace the picture with my body that I was sweating profusely before even a single second.
On the other hand, Jang Sam-tae was relaxed.
Because I learned this kind of crude martial arts when I was young.
However, Dan Woo-hyeon’s expression as he looked at the two people was unusual.
He watched the two intently and immediately shook his head. Even a small breath escaped from his mouth.
“Why on earth do you move like that?”
“yes? As depicted in the picture, “You can’t just move along. “That’s no fun.”
Dan Woohyun chuckled.
In martial arts, there was no such thing as a path. It’s just that people created their own martial arts skills and didn’t want them to deviate from that path, so they wrote down the grades.
Even if Hwa So-mi was like that, Jang Sam-tae was too stiff.
It is not easy to move because it is not your path.
“Move as you like. Yes, this is how you can create your own path.”
“ancient!”
I didn’t say that it was easier or better to move like that rather than like this.
Because that was Dan Woohyun’s path.
Each person who learns martial arts must pursue his or her own path, and by completing that path, one lays the foundation to become an expert.
Jang Sam-tae moved around, sweating profusely. Dan Woo-hyeon sighed and told him to try a different movement than his best, so he tried several times to find a way to move that was comfortable for him.
But it was too difficult.
Jang Sam-tae, who had ignored martial arts as not even third-rate, began to fall in love with martial arts.
On the contrary,
“Yay!”
Hwa So-mi tried to move her body very hard,
but her movements were so sloppy that one wondered if there was a body like this in the world. I wasn’t expecting anything from a seven-year-old, but this was way beyond what I expected.
“see! mister! “I can hear the wind!” Hwa So-mi moved a small tree branch.
flutter flutter.
In fact, it was nothing more than the sound of a collar fluttering. No one says that it is the sound of the wind.
But Dan Woo-hyeon didn’t say anything. I just smiled and nodded. In the first place, I had no intention of letting my child learn martial arts.
Because my biggest wish was to do something about the fluttering flesh.
I was hoping that Hwa So-mi would move her body hard and thanks to that, she would return to her old self.
Dan Woo-hyeon looked happily and nodded repeatedly.
“You’re good at it hahaha!”
“really?! Okay! “Eight!”
Hwa So-mi was moving harder at the word of praise.
Dan Woohyun was in a very good mood.
* * *
That evening.
Dan Woo-hyeon encountered a completely unexpected ambush.
That person is none other than Jang Sam-tae, who must be several times more exhausted than Hwa So-mi. After dancing for over two hours, it was evening and we started preparing food.
However, the feast was so exquisite that it made my upper legs bend.
There was a lot of rice and more side dishes than usual.
Perhaps because she was tired from working out for the first time in a long time, Hwa So-mi started eating Wagu Wagu.
He picked up a heap of side dishes on one chopstick and poured them into his mouth as if he were eating rice.
I almost wondered how a child could fit that much food into his stomach.
When I glanced to the side, I saw Jang Sam-tae.
He also had a mouth full of rice.
I was so blessed to eat that the weight that felt a little thin seemed to be gaining again.
Dan Woo-hyeon sighed involuntarily.
“Oh my…”
