Episode 79: The Value of Information (1)
The reason one of those who was following him returned was probably to coordinate a eting.
If you were to follow him in reverse, you might et a superior rather than a scoundrel.
Yu Jin-san thought for a mont and then shook his head.
‘There is no need to move hastily.’
Isn’t this a situation where there is nowhere to lean on, unless you are in the dark?
There was no reason to take risks. If there were any variables, there was a risk of losing trust even before the transaction began.
At that ti, the granddaughter suddenly beca excited and shouted.
“Grandpa, look over there!”
The place where the child’s index finger twitches.
Soone shirtless and wearing a mask was surrounded by a crowd of people.
“hmm. It looks like they’re putting on a performance. I miss you?”
Henan Province is a place where street performances are culturally common.
How could you miss out on such a fun attraction?
Yoo Seol, full of curiosity, grabbed her grandfather’s hand and pleaded.
“Yeah, I’m curious~. “Let’s go quickly and take a look.”
After seeing my granddaughter so motivated, I couldn’t refuse.
The three of them, holding hands, joined each other through the gap in the crowd, shoulder to shoulder.
“Now who would you like to challenge next? “Whoever hits and pushes out of the circle, I will give you a silver nyang!”
The bowl in front was half full of coins, as if many challengers had already passed through it.
At that ti, a bulky, muscular man stepped forward.
Judging by his restrained gait, it was clear that he had mastered martial arts.
“Brother, is one coin worth one coin?”
“Yes, of course! Co on and give it a try! “There is a hermit in front of you.”
The onlookers gaped at the challenger’s actions.
This is because he took all the coins out of his wallet and poured them out.
It was difficult to even count the coins that were raining down and clinking.
“What should I do….”
“Aren’t you going to die if you do that?”
“Oh my god.”
He ignorantly dropped the cost and stood tall in front of the masked man.
The size difference is about one head. Just by looking at it, it looked like it could crush an opponent with one blow.
The clown was scared and waved his hands.
“This is a foul, Daehyeop!”
Those who have attempted so far have only received two or three coins at most. I can’t help but be shocked because so much money was poured into it.
“A man’s word should weigh more than a thousand gold. “Please give strength.”
He clenched his huge fist.
Onlookers looked worried at the threatening appearance.
Finally, the challenger took his stance and vigorously pushed for power. Then, the sound of a wave cutting through the wind rang out fiercely.
There was no rcy in the massive fist that was thrust into my abdon.
Tsk-!
“Kaaak!!”
The clown’s upper body shook with a single scream.
And that was the beginning.
The two fists that were thrown in succession towards his abdon were like a downpour.
Wow! Puff puff puck-!!
The posture of hitting the opponent was very stable. Are you saying that you are a martial artist who has trained martial arts professionally?
He stretched out his fist so fast that only Yu Seol and Yu Jin San could see it.
If he was hit like this, he should have died instantly.
However, the clown’s feet, which were staggering as if he were about to die, did not even move.
Yu Jin-san, who was watching the situation, deduced the situation at once.
‘He is soone who has learned Cheolposam.’
Cheolposam (鐵布衫). He was an external martial artist who trained his body to make his bare body look like armor.
Did the other person notice that too?
His attack, which continued for a long ti, suddenly stopped as if it were a lie.
“Huh huh! You’re really amazing at holding onto my fist. “I give up.”
At the sa ti as he was admitting his failure, the clown shouted, clutching his stomach.
“Oh my, I really almost died this ti! Oh my, it’s a boat!”
Was the delayed reaction funny?
Yuseol, who was watching the clown, held her belly button and gurgled.
“Hehehe. It’s so fun. “Grandpa, try it too.”
Yu Seol was watching with a smile, but Yu Jin San’s position was different.
Contrary to appearances, the clown was no ordinary clown. I was curious about his identity.
There’s nothing you can’t do if you put your mind to it, but why bother overdoing it?
“No, Seol-ah. “I guess we should just watch.”
But how can you stop a child’s stubbornness?
Yu Seol held on to Jin San’s collar with pitiful eyes.
“Hmph. Show quickly, okay?”
Dong-gu, who was watching, carefully approached Yu-seol’s back and spoke in a low voice.
“Then why do you keep mistreating grandfather?”
Is it because there were a lot of strangers? Yu Seol blushed.
“I’m embarrassed…”
“Then you won’t be embarrassed, Grandpa?”
“….”
Eugene San, who looked at his granddaughter for a mont, was deeply troubled.
Above all, travel expenses have dropped and there is no golden opportunity to make money this easily.
He soon made up his mind and nodded.
“hmm. “Okay, that’s fine.”
Crucially, it was because he was conscious of the dark night’s pursuer watching from afar. In order to increase negotiating power, it was necessary to show so degree of inaction.
When I saw my granddaughter clapping her hands and loving it, I thought I did a good job.
“Hehehe. Do well. Seol will cheer you on.”
Before we knew it, the clown looked sick and lured the next challenger.
“Ah, Bae… I’m not feeling well, so I’ll take one last challenge today. “Please let soone who is weak co forward this ti.”
The clown, whose entire body was limp, looked as if he would collapse if touched.
The clown, who continued acting, glanced at the onlookers and clapped his hands in approval. Because a small child was stepping forward.
It was not unusual, as even young children sotis tried it for fun.
“Oh my, I lived! “Our little Daehyeop has arrived!”
As the clown danced, the onlookers burst into laughter.
Yu Jin-san asked, ignoring their reactions and standing tall in front of the other person.
“Is it okay to just send them out of the circle?”
The clown, who was rubbing his hands together, extended one hand towards the bowl.
“Yes yes. That’s right. “It’s one coin per coin!”
Eugene San rummaged through his pockets. Two coins. This was all the wealth he had left after calculating the Heuksan Tea.
Clink!
‘I can’t help it. ‘We can’t starve our baby.’
It was not difficult to break the Cheolpo Sam, but to do so, you had to deal a fatal blow to the opponent.
But how can you do that to a clown who you don’t even know in person?
If the goal was to push the opponent without knocking him down, there was no need to break the Cheolpo Sam.
His hands rose into the sky like a bird spreading its wings.
Next, he waved both hands and prepared a snack for Yuga Gungonjang.
‘No one in Hanam would recognize this martial arts skill.’
Did he feel the fluctuating flow of energy? The clown, who had not even defended himself in the anti, suddenly bent his lower body. I took a stance to avoid being pushed away.
Because he was wearing a mask, I couldn’t see his expression, but his eyes were shaking.
However, this was not the place to stop at Mt. Yujin.
Yuga Geongonjang, one second al, one wave and no heun (一破無痕).
His palm approached the clown’s abdon as if pushing away a wave.
Tsk-!
A wave of energy spreading like a wave.
The onlookers took a step back in surprise, and a look of admiration appeared on Yu Jin-san’s face.
‘It’s quite a feat to be able to hold on using Cheongeunchu.’
Eugene San gently pulled his palm and rotated his wrist half a turn.
A fleeting mont. His palm moved like a flash and struck the clown’s abdon again.
It was Yuga Geongonjang’s four-choice style, Ilhuseomta (一後閃打).
Whoops-!!
It was a blow that was well worth the bet.
The clown used Cheongeunchu once again, but this ti he couldn’t hold on.
As his feet lifted off the ground, as many as one piece of his new model fell off.
“Ugh!”
As he was staggering, the onlookers cheered wildly.
“Waaah!”
“Wow!!”
Although they didn’t understand the English language, it was a very cool sight for everyone anyway.
Before we knew it, the clown ca again and continued his act, taking out a silver coin.
“I should have stopped earlier! “Oh my money!”
Yu Jin-san, who was handed a silver coin, quickly left the place. It was because he felt uncomfortable with the attention focused on him.
In her seat, the granddaughter with dimples kept clapping her hands together like a seal.
“Was it that fun?”
Yu Seol put her lips to his ear and whispered.
“It was cool, grandpa. the best.”
It’s been a long ti since I’ve seen my granddaughter like this.
It was Mount Eugene that put strength on my shoulders for the first ti in a while.
“Hmm! Well, I heard that kind of thing a lot when I was young.”
“But what are we going to do with it?”
“…what?”
“that.”
I’m guessing he’s talking about the silver he received as a prize.
Suddenly, the real reason why my granddaughter liked Yujinsan beca unclear.
Apparently there was no relationship.
The most important thing now was to get out of here quickly.
“I need to buy Seol sothing delicious. Let’s go quickly.”
When Eugene-san sent a glance, Dong-gu took the lead and started to turn the road.
“I’ll pass by in a mont!”
The group hurriedly leaves the place after completing their errands.
The mont he left the crowd, Yujinsan’s ears suddenly perked up.
This was because an electric sound was heard from behind.
– I have almost all of my Hanam masters, but I have never heard of anyone like you. What is identity?
It was the voice of a clown.
Judging from his tone of voice, he seed to realize that he was an anti-Romanist.
Yu Jin-san slightly turned his head and looked behind him.
A clown surrounded by a crowd of people was blinking at himself.
– If you want to know, wouldn’t it be better to reveal your identity first? Let’s just say he’s an old man with a story.
– If we et again next ti, can I ask for a favor?
– Whenever you feel confident.
* * *
Now all that was left was to wait until they approached from the dark night room.
The group must have saved money for travel expenses, so they stayed in a luxurious guesthouse and spent so ti there.
Two days had passed in a boring routine.
On this day, the three of them were locked in their room and rolling around.
“Are you there?”
When Dong-gu opened the door, he saw Jeomsoi with a warm expression.
“What’s going on?”
“Soone told to give this to them a while ago and left it to .”
It was a crumpled note.
The preparations for the eting in the dark room have finally been completed.
After Jeomsoi returned, Dong-gu imdiately handed it to Yu Jin-san.
“What does it say?”
“They say you should take a carriage in front of the guest house tomorrow morning.”
“A carriage?”
Jinsan Yu nodded and looked out the window.
It was just as quiet as usual.
“You look really tired. “Why is it so hard to make contact?”
“It can’t be helped. “They say that if your location is exposed, you can be attacked by the public.”
It wasn’t Eugene San who didn’t know that.
There were even rumors going around that hungry beggars were secretly selling information to the dark night room.
If information was truly being leaked, it was natural for the governnt, whose livelihoods were threatened, to aim for the dark side.
“Anyway, I guess we can et tomorrow.”
For now, there was nothing to do but wait.
The next morning.
The group finished preparing and went out the door of the guesthouse.
Suddenly-!
As expected, a carriage was waiting.
The coachman with an innocent look opened the door and guided us inside.
“Hurry up and get on. Soone else did the calculations first.”
The coachman must also have nothing to do with Heukyabang. Even if you ask, nothing will co out.
“Let’s just type it first.”
“Grandpa, it’s my first ti riding a carriage!”
Yu Seol seed excited about riding a carriage for the first ti.
At that ti, Dong-gu handed the child so beef jerky he had brought from the guesthouse.
“Snacks are essential on a carriage trip.”
“Hi-Hi. “I’ll eat well, mister.”
Fortunately, the granddaughter and Dong-gu seed to enjoy being in the carriage.
Yu Jin-san crossed his arms, closed his eyes, and waited for them to arrive at their destination.
It’s been half a day since we traveled by carriage.
Only when the sun was setting did the carriage door open again.
“Well, we’ve arrived. Please get off quickly.”
Jinsan Yu, who was the first to get off the carriage, tilted his head in confusion. Because there was no one waiting.
Soon he noticed sothing and his eyebrows narrowed.
A wide sandy field leading to the river. A boatman was waiting for soone on a ferry docked there.
‘no way?’
