Chapter 3
Episode 3 You can never die (3)
Boom! Kwakwang-!
Eugene San’s fist was hitting a huge pine tree.
After repeating it for a few days, I finally got the hang of it. The moment you start moving, your joints are protected with deep internal energy.
“I will never die.”
It was a phrase I had repeated tens of thousands of times. Every time I stretched out my arms, the muscles and bones of my entire body moved together.
The rotation started in the lower body, went through the pelvis, passed through the waist, and headed to the shoulders.
The strength added from various places was released through his fists.
Kwaang-!!!
The huge tree began to slowly fall, making a crackling sound.
Kuung-!
There were already dozens more fallen trees nearby.
His eyes turned again to the tree next to him.
“Whoop!”
Yu Jin-san took a deep breath, took a short leap, and climbed onto the tree branch.
Next, he hung his upper body upside down with his legs crossed.
His stretched upper body repeatedly folded and touched his knees. It was an exercise to build abdominal muscles.
‘You have to hold on, your back!’
There was no problem because the spine was protected by a brace. However, there was nothing I could do about the muscle pain that felt like it was going to break at every moment.
Even after a period of time, his behavior continued.
“Two hundred and twenty-two! Two hundred and twenty-three!”
I usually had almost no belly fat. That’s why my abs were showing their outlines in just a few days.
After more than half an hour, his mouth uttered the last cry.
“three hundred!!!”
Only after reaching my goal did I get down to the ground.
It was a number that was possible because of the use of internal energy. If I had used only my muscles, I wouldn’t have been able to do even thirty.
Anyway, his expression became brighter. This is because there are ten more than yesterday.
“Huh.”
My whole body was stained with sweat.
As I went down to the valley to wash, a feeling of self-destruction suddenly came over me.
‘What does this mean in your twilight years? ‘I had some kind of karma in my past life…’
I sighed the whole time I was washing up.
As you get older, your muscles grow more slowly. That’s why I had no choice but to work harder. Moreover, I couldn’t sleep at night because I was practicing my inner skills.
At that time, his ears perked up.
“Mites.”
It was the sound of his granddaughter calling him.
I quickly ran over and saw that Yuseol had escaped from the blanketed nest and was crawling somewhere.
Yu Jin-san carefully picked up the child as usual and tried to comfort him.
“Where is our granddaughter going? Gulp Gulp! “Would you like to play with your grandpa?”
She was such a lovely granddaughter that it didn’t hurt to look at her. At the same time, it was also the only reason to live.
At that time, a pitiful groan came out of his mouth.
“hmm…?”
The baby was sucking on his milk. He seemed hungry.
I wanted breast milk to come out, but there was no way that was possible.
He was troubled for a moment.
It had been bothering me that I was only feeding my baby milk secretly pumped from Geumsoon’s breast every night.
‘Babies are healthy only when they grow up with breast milk.’
It still felt a little early to go out into the world.
Unless you know the pleural fluid, you never know when and under what circumstances danger will come. At the very least, it had to be made to the point where the body could move freely.
However, I couldn’t help but want to breastfeed my granddaughter.
“Let’s go down somewhere tonight.”
It was safer to move in the evening when visibility was short.
After barely comforting his granddaughter, he boiled milk, fed her, and put her to sleep. Then I sat cross-legged again.
I couldn’t neglect my inner strength training even for a moment.
After two examinations.
After changing his clothes and preparing for the descent, he tied the baby in a blanket and carried it on his back.
Eventually, his steps continued through the mountains. The intention was to go to a different village than usual in order to hide their whereabouts.
After running for a while, I heard a growling sound from my stomach.
‘Now that I think about it, it’s been a while since I’ve eaten.’
On lucky days, they caught fish from the valley and ate them, and on other days, they had to survive on grass roots. I couldn’t help but feel hungry.
After a while, Eugene San entered an unknown village and looked around.
Then his sense of smell detected a delicious smell somewhere not far away.
‘It’s chicken porridge!’
As I got closer, I saw beggars sitting together boiling something in a cauldron.
Judging from the knot in the waist belt, the ways of opening were clear.
One two-payer and two one-time payers.
It was a good opportunity to get any information or clues. There was a risk that his whereabouts would be exposed for a moment, but it was no problem. I had no plans to visit this village again today.
“The smell of chicken porridge is really good.”
The beggars’ gazes simultaneously turned towards Mt. Yujin.
He looks like a immortal and holds a polearm in his hand. And she was carrying a baby on her back.
“Who are you?”
“It’s an old man passing by. “If it’s okay, can we sit together?”
The Open Islands looked at each other’s faces.
Their expressions seemed a bit awkward for some reason.
After a moment of silence, Lee Gye-jae spoke.
“It’s a big deal that you’re trying to eat from beggars. However, the openness of people is not so cruel that they just let hungry seniors go.”
He filled a bowl with chicken porridge and held it out.
I can’t believe they gave us so much chicken porridge that wasn’t even enough for them to eat. Jin-san Yu felt his heart grow warm.
“The world is still worth living in. Thank you. After all, openness is loyal.”
When I took a bite, the taste was amazing. It was even more delicious because it was my first time eating proper food in a long time.
But something was a little strange. Beggars retreat to a corner without even thinking about eating together.
With their backs turned, they put their heads together and were whispering something.
‘What are you planning?’
I sensed that Kangho’s seasoned experience had something to do with it.
I focused on my hearing and overheard the conversation.
– It is clear that he is the head of the Yu family.
– Would it be okay? Although he is the head of a family, his martial arts skills may be great.
– don’t worry. He is an old man whose bones have already hardened, so even swinging a weapon would be difficult.
– It’s a windfall that luck rolls in on me. Shall I catch it?
– no. Still, he was a great master when he was younger, so there is no harm in being careful. When I give the signal, they attack at the same time.
Yu Jin-san almost had chicken porridge sticking out of his nose.
Why is openness targeting oneself? These are the people who are classified as a huge faction of political faction in name and color.
It suddenly occurred to me that the family tragedy might be related to them.
“Elder. “How does chicken porridge taste?”
The approaching beggars were secretly clutching batons.
Tagubong (打狗棒). It was a common open weapon used to beat down dogs.
Jin-san Yu calmly answered while looking at it.
“It tastes good. Isn’t it so easy to find the people who killed my babies? “Maybe that’s why it tastes better.”
The beggars looked into each other’s eyes.
There was no reason to hesitate as long as the other party noticed.
“Hit!”
One day-payer approached, swinging a baton.
There was no mercy in the blow that went towards the top of the old man’s head.
“Look back!”
If it were a while ago, I would have definitely been embarrassed. But things were different now.
Jin-san Yu snorted and raised the spoon above his head. It was a minimal movement.
Kwaang-!
The baton and spoon just hit each other, but a sound like metal hitting each other came out.
The day payer’s grip was torn and he lost the pole.
“Ahh!”
At the same time, a spoon flew out and hit him squarely on the forehead.
Kwaang-!
Before he could fall, another batting pole approached the left side of Mt. Yujin.
He sat down and grabbed the Fire Dragon God Spear, an heirloom.
The blade of the spear was pointed exactly at the center of the approaching batting stick.
What the heck!
The batting stick split left and right.
The daily payer hastily put down the bong. Otherwise, your hand will fly off. But that was also Yu Jin-san’s intention.
When I twisted the window, the broad day was bathed in moonlight. At that moment, the wide window struck the open door.
Kwaang-!
As the two daily payers fell down in an instant, the two payers jumped forward with a nervous look on their faces.
A movement of a different level than before.
The batting stick being struck vertically in the air looked so powerful that it seemed as if it could crush rocks.
However, there was no change in expression on Yu Jin-san’s face.
Suddenly, his left hand shot out into the sky like a thunderbolt.
Uduk-!
It was a sound that came from his shoulder joint.
There was pain, but compared to a few days ago, it was bearable.
And before he knew it, his hand was gripping the neck of this disciple.
“Things like rattlesnake. “Did the government teach you not to respect the elderly and attack them?”
The beggar’s face was red as he hung in the air.
As much as I wanted to twist his neck like this, I had to listen to him first.
I threw him on the floor and sat down on a chair.
“Kek. “Oh, it’s a misunderstanding.”
The beggar waved his hands and begged for his life. He sensed that he was no match for someone like him.
The daily payers had already lost their minds and fainted.
“Nobu… he lost all his children not long ago. So it’s open, damn it, and there’s nothing to see. So, if you don’t tell me the right thing, I don’t know what I will do to you.”
“Well, we were just following Meng’s wanted order. “It has nothing to do with pleural effusion.”
“What? “A wanted order…?”
The beggar took out a crumpled piece of paper from his pocket and held it out.
Yu Jin-san, who received it and read it, let out a laugh.
“…what?”
It was the most absurd thing in his life.
It was written that after his family was wiped out, he fell into a state of witchcraft and became a madman. It also contains information about killing innocent residents.
I couldn’t understand at all.
“Why does the Murimmaeng do such crazy things…”
At that time, I noticed a phrase offering a reward to anyone who rescues a kidnapped baby.
‘Are you sure they’re targeting my granddaughter?’
Jin-san Yu put his hands together and thought deeply.
Come to think of it, it was not long after my granddaughter was born.
The rumor spread because the baby was born with the muscles of the Seonumji body. Doesn’t he have the same constitution as Geomhu, the greatest expert in ancient and modern times?
I remembered that the Murim League also sent a gift saying that Gangho was in good fortune.
“What a dog…”
I could barely hold back the curse that was about to come out of my mouth.
Is this really the work of the Murim League, which claims to be in agreement? No matter how much I thought about it, it was so absurd that I couldn’t believe it.
At that time, Emperor Lee began to beg for his life with pitiful eyes.
“Please save me, old man.”
Yu Jin-san’s eyes were full of murderous energy.
In the current situation, no saintly gentleman would be able to calm down.
“How can a witness be left alive? Besides, they are cheap bastards who don’t respect their elders.”
“I was very wrong. If you let me live, I won’t let something like this happen again…” As
Yu Jin-san stood up and grabbed his spear, his face was filled with fear.
At that moment, a wide spear hit the back of his head.
Kwaang-!
This person’s eyes opened and he fainted.
I had no intention of killing him from the beginning. If I did that, I would really become a murderer as they wanted.
“Don’t take my life instead.”
Yu Jin-san searched through the treasures of open islanders and retrieved the coins they had donated. Because I was broke, I needed an emergency fund just in case.
A total of ten coins.
It was enough money to buy two bowls of noodles.
He took a step somewhere again.
I had mixed feelings. In one day, he became the trash of the world.
Judging from the circumstances, there was a high probability that the beast was someone from the Murim Alliance.
If so, he would be a person with a high level of distribution to the point where he can control the government.
‘What about the Murim League and whatnot? Let’s see.’
Even if the opponent was a god, he had no intention of stopping. Eugene San had already become the embodiment of anger.
But now was not the time.
‘The most important thing now is survival.’
He explored the outskirts of the village, leaving himself to the darkness.
After a while, I was able to find a suitable target. I found a middle-aged woman sitting on a wooden chair and enjoying a break.
Eugene San untangled the baby from his back and approached.
“Look here. “You look like you’re in a good mood because something good has happened.”
The woman’s complexion, which had been smiling happily, suddenly hardened. He looked full of caution.
It was no surprise that an old man I had never seen approached me, clutching a spear.
“….”
“There’s nothing to worry about. He’s just a helpless old man. “It’s just that there are some circumstances.”
The eyes that were staring at Mount Yujin trembled slightly.
“Is that baby your granddaughter?”
“cancer. My granddaughter is like gold. If you have breast milk, can I ask you a favor? “Because my mother left first, I have no choice but to go around looking for milk.”
Just in time, the baby opened his arms to her and cried.
“Mites.”
How could you refuse after seeing that? When she received the baby, she breast-fed and looked sad.
“Poor baby… How could such a pretty baby happen…”
Yu Jin-san watched silently with a happy smile.
Today was my first and last time breastfeeding. This was because if the wanted notice had been spread around the village, it would be impossible to walk around the village for a while.
I hope so.
Suddenly, something unimaginable began to happen.
“You crazy old man, get out and die!”
Yu Jin-san’s eyes widened as if he was bewildered.
This is because a middle-aged woman ran away with her baby while breastfeeding. It was truly a sprint.
“Look at you! “What are you doing now?”
At that moment, Jinsan Yu heard a woman’s murmur.
“I am rich now….”
He was an ordinary person who had not learned martial arts.
Yu Jin-san, whose eyes were blinking, soon came to his senses and chased after Gyeong-gong.
He quickly reached over and pressed the back of her neck with his index finger. He knocked him unconscious by pointing out the blood pressure.
Afterwards, they snatched the baby and placed the woman against a nearby tree.
“Are there all these crazy women in the world?”
The more I thought about it, the more absurd it became. But it was still too early to be surprised.
After a moment, his mouth opened as if it were torn apart. This was because a poster attached to a tree in front caught my eye.
It was a wanted flyer.
There was a list of residents who had been killed along with their impressions.
“Huh… heh heh.”
I couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
Even though he had done nothing, he was already branded as a murderer by the world.
Some residents near Yujiajang probably know the truth, but the arguments of a powerless few are of no help. No, who would risk their life to take the side of the Yu family from the Murim League and the government?
Eugene San also knew very well that power is truth and it is a legal world.
After being mesmerized for a while, he retreated into the shadows and headed towards the mountain.
My steps were heavy.
