EP.278 Chiljang – Insulation, connection (5)

Ah, the child who was in my stomach at that time has finally seen the light of day safely..
Mok Ri-won felt his heart relax at the sight of a smiling child held in its mother's arms..
It was that moment.
“Hongseon.”
“hmm?”
“It's that woman's name. My younger brother at that time was named Hongchang..”
“ah….”
Was it that kind of name?.
Mok Ri-won looked at the woman closely..
It was much brighter than I remembered..
At that time, the woman who was trembling in Zhuge Mountain's arms looked haggard, uncharacteristic of a pregnant woman, but now she seemed to be eating well and had put on a lot of weight..
The clothes are also very neat. It was really pretty that the child was dressed up in yellow clothes, and the smiles of the two people were even prettier than that..
“It's the smile we saved.”
Zhuge Shan said.
Suddenly, Mo Ri-won felt a sinking feeling inside..
But that was only for a moment, and soon Mokriwon corrected his words..
“This is the smile that brother Zhuge saved. I had no choice but to follow. then.”
“Did you do that??”
“Brother Zhuge didn't sway me with his puns. At first. I thought my brother Zhuge was going into the manor to flirt with that woman..”
“I wonder what you think of me.”
“Oh, I'm a sexist who can't be satisfied unless I'm a married woman..”
“You're not wrong..”
Tsk tsk Zhuge Shan laughed..
Even though he was being playful, his face was full of pride and satisfaction..
Mok Riwon had no choice but to ask..
“I was watching them the whole time.?”
“Aren't they the ones who lost their foundation and left Anhui? I heard that they were running a dry goods store, but I took notice and helped them in many ways..”
“We met and exchanged greetings.?”
“….”
Gero, who secretly helped me from behind..
It was worth knowing. I guess it was a concern about insulation..
They must have been worried that if they got closer, they would be harmed by the star..
This foolish and affectionate brother-in-law would definitely have done that..
“Why didn't you say hello even once? That would have been fine..”
“Once becomes twice and twice becomes three. Isn’t everything difficult at first? I didn't want to get past that first time.”
“I still feel that way?”
“….”
This time too, Zhuge Shan responded with silence..
Mo Ri-won felt some sympathy for him blooming..
Mokriwon does not know about a life in which you have to be afraid even to hope for a relationship..
As long as you hide your temperament, it allows you to meet people..
How does it feel to have to disappear from someone's life to wish them well?.
I tried to imagine it, and I tried to sympathize with it, but Mok Ri-won was a person who could not fully feel the despair felt by the owner of Inseonseong..
That might be why I listened to his request..
“Can you come and say hello to them??”
“Why??”
“Isn't it a time when we can't be sure how much we will be able to help in the future? It could be the last time, so if you have any concerns, I want to listen to you..”
Even as the thought of stopping him grew, Mok Riwon nodded without thinking..
Zhuge Shan's expression was so earnest that it felt like it had to be done..
*
It was the moment I left the guesthouse and walked straight toward the dry goods store..
Even though there was a great distance between them, Hong Seon made eye contact with Mok Ri Won and immediately recognized him and opened his eyes wide..
“Daehyup?”
Looking at the surprised voice he made as he jumped up, it seemed like he wasn't mistaken for a person..
It must have been a fleeting moment in the midst of all the chaos. How could we recognize each other so instantly?.
Feeling something new, Mo Ri-won smiled brightly..
“You seem to recognize me.”
“How could I forget! You are our benefactor.!”
Hongseon held his daughter in his arms, not knowing what to do..
The child tilted his head and looked at Mokriwon, then opened his mouth and started making a relaxed face..
“It's pretty….”
Mok Riwon giggled..
Meanwhile, only Hongseon was in disarray..
“How did you come here? If I knew it would be like this, I would have prepared to treat it like this.….”
“It's done. I was just stopping by because I saw a familiar face while I was stopping by the village..”
Only then did Hongseon calm down a little..
However, it seemed like he had not completely relaxed his mind..
Looking at Mokriwon as if unable to regain her breath, she glanced around at other places in the distance and then asked:.
“Or, didn't he come with us??”
It must be a suspicious situation to ask who he is..
Mok Riwon thought for a moment..
Actually, my brother Zhuge is here..
They're looking at us from the guest room across the way..
It would have been over just by saying the words, but Mok Ri-won couldn't bear to do so and shook his head..
They don't even know that Zhuge Mountain is the head of the Zhuge family..
“I came alone. As I said, I just stopped by because I was passing by..”
“ah….”
A faint sigh pierced Mokriwon’s insides..
I'm not used to lying at all.
“…I really wanted to say thank you, but it's a shame..”
“I'll tell you this on my behalf.”
“No, it's a thank you that you have to do in person..”
“hmm?”
Eventually, surprising words came out of her mouth..
“…I know now. who he is.”
Hongseon faced Mokriwon directly..
“Daehyeop said that Mukryong, and he….”
“Wait, how did you know that??”
When asked in surprise, Hongseon answered,.
“How could you not know? I opened a dry goods store in a neighborhood where I had no one I knew, and business was surprisingly good. All the residents here were friendly, and some of them even made a deal with the Zhuge family..”
Oh, I guess that was it..
“You can't not know. Additionally, I know that it was the Yongbong branch that was shaking Anhui at the time. Even if you don't know anything about Amman martial arts, what was the reason why so many young experts were there? I'm still thinking about it. The reason why you guys helped me….”
Hongseon smiled softly..
“…I guess it was a favor. I guess we can agree on what you say..”
For no reason, words that tickled my insides came out..
Mo Liwon's lips couldn't calm down and kept getting hot..
Hongseon said.
“I couldn't go to the person in person to receive help. What should I do if it looks like I'm asking for more help? Still, I really wanted to tell you something.….”
“mom?”
The child stroked Hong Seon’s cheek..
Hongseon looked at the child and smiled slightly..
It was a slightly regretful smile..
“…This is Yoon. Hong Yun. The child that the great cooperatives saved has grown so much..”
She bowed her head deeply..
“thank you. Please tell me this.”
Mo Riwon nodded slightly at him..
The empty smile was a bonus.
‘Zhuge brother.’
I don't think these people need any more help..
Mok Riwon thus concluded his meeting with Hong Seon..
*
Zhuge Shan heard the story from Mo Ri-won who returned..
The child's name is Hongyun.
My younger brother, Hongchang, is working at a local office..
I don't know if it's unfortunate or fortunate that there's nothing more I can do to help..
No, I should say fortunate..
This means that they are completely independent..
“Yeah, thanks for noticing..”
“They know my brother Zhuge..”
“What can you do with people like that?.”
It's okay if I don't show up..
I swallowed my words.
The reason was that it would be a disgrace to the hard work of Mokriwon, who helped so generously..
Zhuge Shan instead said something else..
“This is enough. Isn’t there something that caught my eye for no reason?.”
After saying that, I stood up..
I am very grateful and burdened by Mok Riwon’s expression of regret..
“Mokau, don’t look at me like that..”
Zhugeshan giggled and said.
“Isn’t it a happy thing? Just smile.”
The work here has ended here..
Should I leave again now?.
Where should I go?.
Zhuge Shan thought for a moment..
I think it would be okay to go and see how the others I saved are doing..
If not, you can spend some leisurely time somewhere quiet..
I was just trying to continue my thoughts..
“Zhuge tongue….”
thud―!
There was a vibration.
It was a tremor that radiated from the outskirts, enough to make the entire village tremble..
Zhuge Mountain and Mokriwon took their breath away..
Because I was so familiar with the feeling of this force, vibration, and aerodynamic force,.
“Magi!”
Mok Ri-won suddenly got up and looked at the outskirts of the village..
This was Magi.
That's not an ordinary magic power, it's a terrible level magic power..
How suddenly.
That too, right here today.
Could it be that this guy’s insulation has caused trouble again?.
It was a moment when Zhuge Mountain was shocked and stiffened..
“Zhuge brother!”
Mok Riwon woke him up..
“I'll go over there! Brother Zhuge, please evacuate the people.!”
Mo Ri-won, who said that, did not listen to the answer and ran in the direction from which the demon energy was sounding..
Zhuge Shan was dazed for a moment..
At the end, there was a place where I finally came to my senses and ran away..
“Hey there!”
“silver ball…?”
Right across the street, at the dry goods store, was Hongseon, who was hugging a crying Hongyun..
“were you here….”
“Let's talk later and start evacuating! hurry!”
Zhuge Shan held Hongsun and Hongyun in his arms and gave a light attack..
