Chapter 173 – 2. Psyche’s Sleep (7)
“Are you ignoring me now?”
The boy yelled as Joshua stepped back. Honestly, as Hosea and Joshua, I couldn’t understand why the boy was doing this.
To be honest, they are not familiar with the rules of their hometown because they have not lived with people in their hometown, but they really did not understand this place at all.
I thought it was a very safe place, but I didn’t look into it properly and pulled out the sword first.
Even so, Hosea and Joshua quietly exchanged opinions when the boy shouted rather loudly.
“Why are you angry?”
「Originally, wasn’t a duel supposed to be 1:1?」
I have often seen and heard such situations and words.
How cowardly is the majority persecuting a single person! Or something Interfering in a 1:1 confrontation!! Whether
And it’s the same with diaryto. Wasn’t 1:1 an honorable and natural thing to do in normal fights, except in cases like war?
“Come on, you scoundrels! I’ll make everyone blow up for what purpose they came here.”
“…”
For some reason, it looked like he was trying to somehow turn this side into a bad guy.
Even so, the sword was drawn, but I didn’t feel like I was going to wield it.
What the hell is this?
At first, I was embarrassed to draw the sword so easily, but it didn’t seem like I would wield the sword.
Hosea and Joshua couldn’t understand that.
Is this country really like this?
“What are you talking about?
“Sigh, noisy!”
The sword was thrust more menacingly, but it could be seen in the keen eyes of Hosea and Joshua. That the boy’s sword tip was shaking even slightly.
This was a bluff.
In order to hide one’s weak side, he comes out strong and threatens the opponent.
Like a dog who barks wildly in fear, not knowing whether the other person is really someone who will harm them or not.
When Kim found out, he was blown away.
What the hell are you doing with someone who doesn’t even realize what they’re doing themselves?
“Yes, you bastard! Are you running away?”
“Ha…”
The twins found this situation difficult. I can’t continue training like this. However, it did not seem that the opponent in front of him would become an opponent that would allow him to gain practical experience.
He was just an immature child who committed self-righteousness because his field of vision was narrow at a young age.
Suddenly, the twins started to get angry.
To save her mother, she has to hurry up and be a little stronger, but she’s starting to get angry at the kid for wasting her time.
But even so, the twins couldn’t go out recklessly.
They were definitely not members of Baekryongmun, and they were just guests staying at Baekryongmun for a while with Uncle Jincheong’s permission.
Even though Uncle Jincheng is helping them by deciding that her mother must wake up in order to put an end to the chaos that is about to happen in this world.
And in order to save her mother, the favor was so desperate for them that it was difficult to make it difficult for Uncle Jincheong, who had shown her favor.
More than anything. There was still so much to learn from Uncle Jincheong.
No matter how advanced skills can’t be taught, at least they can learn what martial arts is.
And Dad and Mr. Nuri had a lot more left than that.
That’s why Hosea and Joshua felt someone coming from far away while wasting precious time confronting each other without being able to do this or that.
“You bastard! What are you doing!!”
The boy flinched at the sight of the man running away screaming, and the sword shook even more.
The man who came running in a hurry immediately gasped and took a breath, then looked at the boy with fierce eyes.
“I must have told you many times not to come this way, so why did you come?”
“Yeah, but there are intruders here…”
“You bastard! Didn’t I say that these people were guests personally brought by Elder Taesang! But what kind of rudeness is this? Did I not tell anyone that you should never pick up a sword carelessly? What did you do, even if the other person killed you? It’s an act that can’t be done. That’s what it means to draw a sword. But you’re still a lot younger than you, and you’re not even old yet. Did that mean you pulled out a real sword against a child who only had a wooden sword? Did I teach you that?”
(Chungnyeon: around 10 years old)
The boy became increasingly tearful at the man’s words, and gradually began to tremble, not being able to do this or that.
“Can’t you put that sword in right away!”
“Yes, yes!”
The expression on the boy’s face as he hurriedly puts the sword into the scabbard was that it shouldn’t be like this.
You are right and the kids are wrong, so why should you be treated like this?
It was just the words of an adult, so the twins felt that they would get tired in the future from the look on their faces full of resentment that they had to do wrong things unfairly.
Because this never seemed to end.
And that anxiety came to reality without fail.
“You villain! Get out of here!”
“This is the domain of the White Dragon Gate! Barbarians, get out!”
Perhaps because they remembered what they had been scolded for before, the twins frowned at the sight of the children leaving the real sword and carrying wooden swords.
Should I say it again? The children, who considered what they had suffered as absurd, thoughtlessly did what they thought was right.
The sadness of not being able to see their mother, the sadness of being separated from their twin sisters and other family members, at the sight of the children who have not yet understood that what they know is not everything, and the racist remarks and the images of the children who have come forward with only brief insights, began to come at once. Did.
We have to save her mother quickly. Why does this keep happening?
Then, when a boulder flew by, Hosea hurriedly swung his wooden sword and knocked the boulder away.
“Get out of here! It’s not a place like you dare come in!”
“Dirty thing! Get out of here right now!”
Could it be that the stone someone threw first became the starting point? The other children also began to pick up stones and throw them.
When it was one stone, it was not too difficult to knock it out, but as it became two, three, and more and more, the twins’ hands began to get dizzy.
In addition, stoning began to become something more and more dangerous, not a common stoning.
He immediately untied the belt and used it as a sling to start throwing stones around, and even clumsily, the stones thrown with the tricks of martial arts were extremely difficult for the twins, who had only recently entered martial arts, no matter how brilliant they were.
Ppaak -!!
“Evil!”
“Joshua!”
Eventually, a rock hit Joshua’s forehead.
There was no hesitation in the hands of the children throwing stones, unlike yesterday when they heard the real sword.
Is it because there is no symbol and no bounds of a sword that adults have talked about? Even though it is a stone, it is a weapon that can kill people, and above all, a stone thrown with a sling is a murder tool that is as good as a sword.
Hosea, who lost his concentration for a while after Joshua was stoned, was soon upset! And the stone hit her temple at an angle, causing her head to stagger.
Both Joshua and Hosea were not seriously injured because they were protecting themselves with psychic powers, but this direct hostility, which they had never experienced before, made them shrink.
If it was an enemy for sure, I could crush it as much as I could, but no one had taught me what to do in a situation like this.
Puck! Baek!!
“Ugh!”
“Profit!”
The concentration, which had begun to be disturbed once, gradually began to fail in defense, and the stones thrown by the children using the string as a sling began to hit the bodies of Hosea and Joshua directly.
Somehow, they gritted their teeth and tried to bounce off the stones with wooden swords, but Hosea and Joshua, who were gradually put on the defensive, eventually lost even the wooden swords and just hugged each other and crouched down to protect themselves with their supernatural powers.
It didn’t hurt that much.
But my heart hurt, not my body.
Without adult protection. Without knowing what to do, the two defenselessly exposed to this malice just silently waited for someone to come and stop the situation.
I’m sure someone will come and stop this situation again
However, this innocent yet cruel violence went beyond stoning and passed into the fists and kicks, and soon, with a wooden sword in his hand, no help came to help.
In the end, Hosea and Joshua were released only after several hours had passed, and it was not until lunchtime that the exhausted children withdrew.
Despite their bodies being protected by their abilities, the ruthless violence that ended only after faint bruises appeared all over their bodies eventually made Hosea and Joshua weep bitterly.
No matter how clever and strong Hosea and Joshua were, they were still children under the age of 10 who needed the protection of adults.
Hosea and Joshua, who ate Byeokgok Dan with their faces full of tears and runny nose, couldn’t even feel the taste of Byeokgok Dan, which was so tasteless.
After eating so much that they couldn’t even remember how they ate, the two were in no mood to continue training.
The two of them, who had been so dazed, just trembled at the sight of the children who had returned before they knew it, and sat down, hugging each other.
* * *
Byeokgokdan scattered on the floor after the jar was broken.
Broken neckerchief and torn clothes…
Hosea and Joshua lay apart on the floor, separated from each other with cloudy eyes.
Their red hair was messed up and loose, and they looked at each other with difficulty raising their heads as the sun went down red.
The two of them came closer to each other in gears, and as they saw their faces stained blue with bruises all over, they hugged each other again and wept bitterly.
Why?
What the hell did they do wrong?
Mom… Mom!!
I miss you mom. What should I do in a situation like this?
Why is this world so barbaric?
Roa, who had been engrossed in training for a long time, suddenly felt as if her heart was going to fall from indescribable emotions at the two figures coming from far away, and even threw her sword out of her hand and hurriedly ran away.
“Hey guys!!”
The child, with scattered hair and clothes torn here and there, was covered with bruises all over the exposed skin.
As if she was half out of her mind, Roa seemed to be going out of her mind at the sight of the two children trudging along, covered in her tears and snot.
What the hell does this mean?
Roa, who embraced the two children as it was, trembled for a long time at the horror and then asked.
What the hell is this all about?
Roa, who heard his own designation, took his children and headed to Jincheong, who was teaching Nuri.
Loa was so numb.
It wasn’t until the moment Yuria’s heart was taken away, but it really felt like her blood was turning backwards at that moment.
With the children in their arms, Hosea and Joshua trembled as if they were babies and buried their heads in their arms.
What the hell did these little kids do wrong?
Wanting to save her mother as soon as possible, she put the tasteless Byeokgok Dan next to her training center and didn’t go out and practiced day and night. It couldn’t have caused a problem.
Arriving at the place where Nuri was learning about magic, Roa calmed down the children who were still shaking in her arms and put them down for a while.
After a while, the door opened, and Jincheong, who was about to ask what was going on, hesitated and stiffened when he saw the children of Loa in a terrified mess.
Uh, what the hell is this?
“Jin Cheng, what the hell is this… Is this the courtesy of the East?”
“That, no, that’s…”
In an unexpected situation, Qin Qing couldn’t get his head to turn properly for a moment.
Obviously, since he gave away the training ground that no one could enter, he would not have had to meet anyone, but what the hell could this be?
Jincheng hurriedly bent down and reached out to her children, but her children trembled and hurriedly grabbed Loa by the collar of her trousers and hid behind Loa.
Seeing that, Jincheong was breathless as to what the hell had happened to these children to react like this.
Really, what the heck is this all about?
In your own words.
Those are the children he personally asked for and asked for, but what is this…
“Wait a minute, wait here. I’ll go down right away and find out what’s going on.”
“…”
Jincheng, who was about to leave, hesitated for a moment and stopped his feet.
Then he turned and bowed his head, apologizing to Loa and her children.
“I’m sorry. I should have apologized first, but I forgot about it for a while. This happened while I was in charge of my private affairs, and even to me, it was so shocking that I forgot what I should have done first. Forgive me. Can you give me…”
At those words, Roa still had deep feelings for Jincheong, but he quietly nodded his head.
Because I knew that this wasn’t Jincheong’s fault.
However, although he was a little disappointed in Jincheong, Roa accepted Jincheong’s apology when he saw Jincheong bend himself like this even for things that were not his fault.
“Please… Please stop the truth of this incident and its recurrence.”
“…Okay. I will definitely do that.”
Roa and her children, who had been staring blankly at Jincheong, who left the place, entered the house.
And Nuri, who was reading magic books, came out of the room in a strange atmosphere and was shocked to see the children.
“What is this!?”
“Nuri, why don’t you go outside and bring some clothes for the kids to change into and some potions to treat their wounds? I think I need to wash the kids.”
Nuri, who had been in a daze for a long time at Hosea and Joshua’s miserable appearance, nodded to him and hurriedly headed outside.
As Roa brought the children to the bathroom, her heart was filled with countless bruises as she took off her clothes, which were already torn and could not even serve as clothes.
The bruises were not normal bruises.
When I looked closely, it was very thin and faint bruises, overlapping, overlapping, and overlapping, turning into blue-black bruises.
Fearing that the children would get sick, she very carefully splashed water on the children and washed them off.
Carefully combing and soaping the messy hair with my hands, washing and drying the children who were soiled with dirt, and covering them with blankets, the children’s appearance has improved a little, but the bruises of the children are still red, blue, and yellow. The marks still hurt loa so much.
“Dad…”
“What should I do in a situation like this?”
The expressions of the two children, who were exposed to irrational violence that they could not resolve on their own for the first time, had become so empty.
* * * * *
“Was my horse so good? I must have told you not to let anyone go to the training ground on top of the mountain.”
Kneeling in front of Jincheong, the instructor just trembled and couldn’t lift his head.
I must have warned the damn kid harshly, but he didn’t seem to listen.
“I’m going to put my shit on the line. Twice again…”
“Not one”
“What nonsense… Yes?”
“The wounds of those children were never the wounds inflicted by one person. They were violence carried out by at least four children with tools such as wooden knives over several hours.”
At those words, the instructor was stunned and his mouth opened wide, unable to close it.
Gee, what the hell happened?
Not just one, but several?
“Ah, are the children safe?
“No, I don’t need a congressman”
Hearing that, he let out a sigh of relief, then flinched for a moment.
If four or more children assaulted children under the age of 10 for several hours with weapons such as wooden swords in their hands, even if they do not have blades, there is no way that those children would be alive.
“Stop, no way…”
“No, the children are alive”
“Then why don’t we call the senator?”
At that, Jingcheng shook his head.
“Do you know why I see this matter so greatly?”
“I don’t know. If the children weren’t seriously injured, wouldn’t they have taken care of themselves?”
At that, Jingcheng shook his head.
“You don’t know. Why I value them so much.”
That was natural.
Jincheong only said that the children were valuable guests, but he did not explain anything.
“Elder Taesang. I can’t know because I don’t have enough knowledge of the small person, so I hope you can clarify it clearly.”
“These children are the rebels of the West Station”
At those words, the instructor’s eyes widened.
A half-seon born between a sage and a human.
If that was true, I couldn’t understand what was happening to such young children.
But in the midst of this, I suddenly heard what Elder Taesang said.
There was something creepy and terrifying about the part about what’s the problem.
A child from the West Station who is not familiar with this place.
What were the children thinking in a foreign land with nowhere to rely on?
If it was Banseon, even though they were young, they would have been more thoughtful than ordinary children of that age, and they would have thought that if they had an accident here, it would be a nuisance to the adults and the elderly Jincheong who accepted them.
Only then did the instructor realize what the problem was.
Those children are Moorim people.
That, too, was something that should never have been done in Baekryongmun, which is affiliated with the Taoist sect.
A large number of children who were younger than themselves were persecuted, and no matter how weak their killing power was, the weapon was a weapon, such as a wooden sword. It was to deal with a child of the enemy air force with a weapon.
That is, one-sided violence against a person who would never be able to win by taking advantage of the opponent’s circumstances.
No, there were so many other mistakes made by the children.
Originally, it was a place where unauthorized people were not allowed to go.
It was a place that was not allowed for children who were still trainees, but it wasn’t a place that was usually strictly forbidden, so even if they visited this place, it ended up with a light warning or admonition.
However, even so, things were different now.
It was a situation where the elder Taesang of a clan had given an order directly.
At the training ground at the top of the mountain, there was an order not to go up except those who were permitted.
Other than that, the children’s mistakes were so numerous that it would be difficult to enumerate them.
“You seem to have realized now.”
“Now… I’ll get those kids.”
It was not something that I could pass on because I was young.
