Episode 386
“Dumplings! Dumplings are delicious! “Buy dumplings!”
Mucheonpung, who was out at Agyang Street, had to shout and solicit custors. From this point of view, all he can do is earn a few pennies a day, but his position is that he has to do whatever it takes to remain in the Honam Danga.
In addition to soliciting custors on the street, they sotis punish criminals at the request of governnt officials.
Even if he worked like that, it would not be enough to earn even a single hermit a day, so the debt that was accumulating day by day was driving him crazy.
Mu Chenfeng, who was soliciting custors, sat down and thought.
Ten hermits a day.
Those who earn that way are probably rchants at best. Even though it had already been six days since I started staying in Honam Danga, I couldn’t even make the large sum of 70 nyang.
“Uh… what should I do…”
No matter how much Mu Chenfeng thought, he couldn’t co up with an answer.
I even wondered if I had settled in such an expensive place because I was crazy about money.
“It’s crazy, it’s crazy…”
It’s 70 nyang, not an amount that can be easily earned. If you were bounty hunting, it would be quite easy, but all the thieves and bandits around here were dry.
Also, since criminals had not taken root in the vicinity of Agyang and Jangsa, there were no people worthy of a bounty even if sothing happened.
Mucheonfeng was so frustrated that he was going crazy.
The money of 70 nyang was floating around in my head.
The amount of money he has in his possession is at most 500 nyang.
Mu Chenfeng, who had to give money to Dan Yuxian tomorrow, was just having a hard ti.
How much better would it have been if you had beco a servant?
You may regret it in hindsight, but in the end, regret is regret.
Before I knew it, night had co and work was over.
The money I received from soliciting custors in the scorching sun all day was at most a few pennies.
As I was holding it in my hand and trying to go back, my steps beca heavy for so reason.
‘There’s only today!’
Mu Tianfeng thought.
My body has recovered to so extent.
We have confird several suspicious locations and even actually dug them.
Because of this, I ended up in a shitty situation where I had to go to work every day without even being able to sleep, but I was able to reduce suspicion to so extent.
There is only one place left.
If you just dig there, treasure will appear.
‘If that happens, I have to leave right away!’
Mu Chenfeng smiled with a glimr of hope.
Even if soone gets caught while digging, it doesn’t matter.
With more than half of his strength restored, he would be able to subdue anyone who sees him.
Mu Tianfeng clenched his fists with a new resolve.
“You look like you’re having quite a hard ti…”
Nangong Xiaohye looked at Mu Tianfeng with a pitiful gaze. This old man, who ca back after working all day, was so pitiful that I felt pity for him without realizing it.
“Hehehe, this is nothing.”
As if he was really thinking about it, Mu Chenfeng showed off his muscles to show that he was in good health. Although he had no desire to be a warrior, he didn’t like receiving sympathy from soone younger than him.
“What a relief. Please eat so of this. “They say it’s best to eat well after working hard.”
“Thank you… thank you.”
What Namgung So-hye handed over was none other than the confectionery that was served for dinner today. It would be a great snack for Mu Chenfeng, who doesn’t even have ti to eat dinner.
‘You’re so kind…’
Mu Chenfeng thought as he watched Nangong Xiaohye disappear with an awkward smile. How can there be such a good woman in the world?
If I had been ten years younger, I would have done anything to provoke him.
He thought in his head.
This is a life like an emperor, living alone with Namgung So-hye and spending money leisurely, with countless treasures.
Of course, this is entirely my own opinion.
Mu Chenfeng shook his head and ca to his senses.
“uh? Aren’t you an old man? Are you coming in after work now?”
At that ti, another person approached.
Kwon Moo-jin is drenched in sweat, probably because he just finished training.
For so reason, he was holding a bottle of So Hongju in his hand, and since he didn’t open the cap, it looked like he had just bought it.
“That’s right.”
“Oh, is that so?”
Kwon Moo-jin licked his lips as if he felt sothing was missing.
But soon, the miserable state of Mu Chenfeng was engraved in his eyes, and he let out a small sigh. Although it was unfortunate, he probably thought that it was not for him to eat, so he handed the Sohongju to Mu Chenfeng.
“This is alcohol I bought from a store. “It’s quite famous there and not easy to find, so eat it secretly by yourself.”
“Can you give sothing like that?”
“Ah…”
Kwon Moo-jin paused for a mont.
I thought for a while about what to say and then sighed again.
His eyes were full of all kinds of sympathy, but he seed unable to put them into words, so he shook his head and opened his mouth.
“it’s okay. This is sothing older people than should drink. Isn’t it? I am very brisk, but the old man said, “Kukkum… I… I am also brisk, right?”
“Hahaha then I’m glad.
“Work hard… work hard.”
The words that followed felt a bit jarring. Mu Tianfeng tilted his head, not knowing the reason, but he just thought that the old man went out and worked, which earned him sympathy.
Mucheonfeng’s eyes were filled with tears as he continued to receive sympathy.
Since birth, no one has ever treated him like this. He was alone since he was born and he is still alone now.
The only thing he wouldn’t betray was money.
That is why Mu Chunfeng collected money more tenaciously than anyone else.
I thought that if I had t these people from the beginning, I might have lived a different life than I do now. Of course, it’s a futile idea to think about it now.
Mu Tianfeng entered his residence with Xiaohongju and Tang Gua in his hands.
He put so sweets and red wine on the table.
For so reason I can’t reach it.
When I was young, I made such a fuss because I wanted to buy and eat one of these sugar cookies. However, since he had no money, he could only watch and could not envy the children who were eating.
Sohongju.
It’s a pretty expensive drink no matter where you go.
It feels burdenso to give it to soone else. It could be said that it was a liquor that even ronin could not easily drink as the price per bottle was one silver nyang.
Those things are right in front of you.
I poured a glass of Sohongju into my mouth and chewed the sweets.
There will be no other taste like this in the world.
It tastes so fantastic that all the worries that have been in his mind until now disappear. Maybe he just feels that way, or maybe it’s really delicious.
But even if it wasn’t delicious, it was like a delicacy to Mu Chenfeng, better than the emperor’s al.
“Whew…”
Mu Chenfeng sighed and looked up at the ceiling.
At best, I only had one sip and one bite, but then I got up and looked out the window. Because it was quite late, there was no sign of anyone at all.
No, even if there were people, most of them stayed inside the room and never outside.
‘I’ll definitely find it for myself too!’ With that in mind, Mu Tianfeng quietly went out.
His movents were so agile that not even the sound of the wind could be heard. It was a light performance that clearly proved that he was a person who was once called the Five Emperors.
‘There is only one place left.’
Thinking about that, Muchanfeng narrowed his eyes. The place that cos to mind is where the treasure is hidden. If it’s not there, soone took it or it’s sowhere you can’t find it.
I approached slowly.
Even the sound of the wind or the rustling of the soil was silenced. It was so quiet that no one could notice his movents.
Eventually, Mu Chenfeng arrived at the destination and exhaled.
“It’s here.”
His voice spread thinly.
A warehouse in Honamdanga.
It’s quite far away from the main angle, so as long as you don’t make a loud noise, you won’t be detected no matter what you do. Mu Tianfeng smiled and approached a place.
Where the pillar is buried.
It’s not exact, but if you compare it to the place you pictured in your head, it’s definitely around here.
Mu Tianfeng was already unable to control his pounding heart. Should we find the money first and then kidnap Namgoong Sohye and take her away?
No, I think Maehyang would be okay too?
Or, although it may be a little off, I think Zhuge Yan would be good too.
Isn’t it said that the more arrogant a woman is, the more conquering she is?
“Now that I think about it, all eight generations are the surnas of .”
When I think about it, that’s true.
The Namgung family and the Zhuge family are families that have maintained political power for a long ti.
In particular, the Namgung family was the center of the eight major families that created the Geomwang, so no matter how long Mu Cheon Pung had been imprisoned, he knew their nas.
‘There’s no way those guys are in a place like this.’
Mu Chenfeng thought it was a ridiculous idea and shook his head. Two places that can be said to be the centers of eight major families. Isn’t it possible for such people to be in these peripheral families?
With a grin, Mu Chenfeng picked up a hoe and began digging furiously.
That’s how I dug a little bit.
Since Mucheonpung had regained so of his strength, even if he dug just that deep, the hole was deep enough to reveal the hidden things.
“Uh…what happened?”
No matter how much I turn it over and over, I can’t see it. There are no things that should have co out of course. Since it was buried in the ground for a long ti, it is right that there should be at least a trace of it, but no matter how hard you look around, there is none.
Is it sowhere other than here?
Thinking I might have been mistaken, I also dug up the flag next to . Another trickle flowed, and even though we dug quite deeply, we couldn’t see anything.
The sa situation occurred even though digging was done in a different place.
“Ugh…”
Mu Chenfeng sat down as if he had been shocked.
It was as if he had lived believing in only this one thing until now, but since he could not see all of those things, the shock imdiately shook his spirit and threatened him.
When I dug into the ground again, wondering if that could be the case.
“This is it!”
A small piece of cloth was touched. The thing that looked old at first glance was clearly the one that Mu Cheonpung had buried twenty years ago.
“Ah cancer! There’s no way anyone could take it
.”
It’s quite deep.
Since it was not easy to find, it would not be an exaggeration to say that it would be a stroke of luck if soone took it. Even if ti passed, the probability of it ever being discovered was extrely low.
Of course, twenty years is not a short ti, but it was aningful to have a glimr of hope.
Mu Chenfeng smiled and slowly pulled up the cloth.
“huh?”
The cloth that contained the treasure ca off very easily.
What I lifted up secretly was only a thousand pieces at most. The money and financial assistance car that should be inside is not visible.
I gently shook it, but it only looked like a piece of cloth blowing in the wind.
Yo…2”
Mu Tianfeng was speechless as he stared at it. I was so confused that I couldn’t even co to my senses.
He sighed softly and threw the cloth away.
At that mont, the cloth fluttered and sothing inside jumped out. A piece of sowhat torn paper fell at Mu Cheonpung’s feet.
