Episode 58. Life-saving Ji-eun (救命之恩) 2014.03.22.
“So, Sun Confucius… … .”
Nchobin said with a puzzled expression. She never thought that Sonbin would take out her sword.
“What? Are you carrying two swords? Did you know that two swords would make you twice as strong? Tsk tsk.”
The man said as if he was shocked. In his opinion, Son Bin is an innocent student. He holds his sword quite resolutely, but that’s it.
“Hey, I hope you get better. They say if you play with cutlery you will get hurt. know?”
The man walked towards Sonbin without hesitation and spoke mockingly.
Son Bin also took a few steps forward and stood guard as if protecting Eun Cho-bin and the cotton girl. Holding an iron sword straight with both hands.
“I don’t know if you’re saying this in front of a woman, but I’ll give you a compliment first. Yes, it’s a man. He’s a gutsy man. “I don’t hate people with guts.”
Jerk, jerk.
Chatting lightly, the man continued walking towards Sonbin. In his opinion, there was nothing special about Sonbin.
First of all, he has a slim physique of a typical student, and he doesn’t have any strong vibes.
Even the eyes looking at you right now are nothing special, just looking straight ahead.
‘It looks like I swung it around a few times.’
The posture of holding the iron sword with both hands seemed quite stable. But that’s it.
“So, let me give you a special opportunity.”
The man walked without hesitation. She approached a place that was quite close, but still felt too far away for the sword to reach, and the man mockingly spoke to her son.
“A chance to die in an ugly way.”
The man raised his sword diagonally in a large gesture as if showing off. And as soon as she finished speaking, her man suddenly rushed towards her son Bin.
hook.
In fact, it was just one step. However, that one step can be the difference between death and life.
Therefore, determining the distance for an unmanned vehicle becomes a life-threatening issue.
This goes without saying if you are an ordinary, untrained person. If the distance suddenly narrows, you will inevitably panic and not be able to respond properly.
Moreover, the speed at which the sword is struck by the warrior is difficult for the eye to follow.
Without long training and experience, a confrontation between real swords and real swords would be unthinkable.
Boouk.
At the same time as the man lunges at Sonbin, his sword falls towards Sonbin.
The man was already convinced. Sonbin will be cut in two, or if he’s lucky, he’ll end up rolling around with the sword he recklessly wielded.
But the results were different.
Kaang!
‘Tsk.’
A sharp screeching sound accompanied a tremendous shock to the hand holding the sword. A heavy sensation as if hitting a hard rock.
The man noticed that his sword was bouncing loudly. And that her body’s balance is falling apart.
widely.
Taking a step back, the man took a stance.
“W-what… … .”
Throbbing.
I feel a sharp pain in my hand.
I clearly slashed my sword at that student, but what on earth does this feeling and result mean?
The man looked at Sonbin with embarrassed eyes.
Unlike before, Sonbin’s sword was stretched straight horizontally towards the right. She intercepted the sword that was struck by slashing it horizontally.
‘You hit my sword?’
“Sahyeong, what are you doing?”
“You son of a bitch is lucky.”
The others behind the man chuckled. In their view, the swords just clashed once.
It was unexpected that the student accepted, but it was just luck. For anyone to see, the difference in skill between a student and a man could be clearly seen.
“Hey, this guy.”
But only the man knows. That the sword of the student who had just collided with him was not just a coincidence. But she couldn’t admit it to the man.
No, rather, his anger towards the person who had given him this humiliation began to boil over.
“How dare you!”
The man’s face distorted. His sly eyes turned sinister, and murder began to ooze out.
“Oh my, please be gentle. “You will be surprised when you get better.”
“But even if you kill it, you still die. “Giggle.”
The others laughed as if it was amusing when the man stepped forward in earnest.
However, Son Bin calmly drew his sword and placed it vertically again.
Okay.
The straight blade of the iron sword stands between Son Bin and the man.
Sonbin’s breathing was already deep and constant. However, her man’s breathing was shallow and choppy from the beginning.
Moreover, the man’s sword was completely at odds with the natural flow from the beginning.
Therefore, no matter how fast his sword was, it was just a swing, and the movements had to be light and obvious.
‘This isn’t even the basics properly.’
Sonbin frowned slightly and looked at the man.
The man was glaring at Sonbin with murderous eyes that looked like he was going to kill him at any moment, but all that was contained in those eyes were shallow emotions as thin as a sheet of paper.
The difference is such that it would be a shame to dare to compare it with the gaze of, say, the Jade Dragon that was directed at oneself.
What about Sajahyuk? Of course it makes no sense.
‘He’ll probably be angry.’
“Heh.”
It was never my intention to let out a little laugh without realizing it.
However, for the man who was already seething with shame and anger, it was enough of an insult.
“Inoom!”
Taaat.
With a cry of anger, the man’s sword sharply swung at Sonbin.
It was a blow that contained the man’s full strength and had extraordinary momentum, but to Son Bin, it was still only a light sword.
Kaang.
Another sharp sound of metal rings out, and the man’s sword springs up. But this time, he didn’t back down.
As if he had already expected it, the man’s sword fell towards Son Bin. The strike that seemed like it took all his might was just a vain attempt.
Hiss.
The sharp blade strikes Sonbin’s empty chest. However, for Son Bin, it was still too light and too obvious.
Kaaaang.
The man’s sword bounced sideways.
‘No, that’s ridiculous. Obviously I was faster.’
Clearly his sword was faster. But before he knew it, Son Bin’s iron sword was blocking his path.
No, he was slashing his sword as if he had been waiting. As if it had been there from the beginning.
“Ugh.”
The man, whose posture was broken, stumbled greatly and took three or four steps back, and his face became stained with despair. Only then did others realize that the situation was serious.
“W-what is it?”
The men who had been relaxing as if it was already over suddenly became nervous. The result that was happening before my eyes was unbelievable, but it was a clear fact.
What is more confusing than anyone else is the man who was kicked out. But the result is clear and it means only one thing.
The man, who was glaring at Sonbin with a face distorted in pain, spoke in a low voice without realizing it.
“Um, that guy… … “He is an expert.”
The faces of the men who attacked suddenly stiffened.
“master!”
In martial arts, the word ‘Gosu’ means a lot. It is like a deep valley dividing the earth, or a high wall dividing this side from that side.
Even if you show off your sword and say you are first-class on the ground, the world of expert swordsmen is high up in the sky.
The only people who can reach that place are a select few or those with unbelievable luck, and they are fundamentally different from people like themselves.
“S-No way… … .”
Suspicion spreads across the faces of the other men, and everyone’s eyes turn to Sonbin.
However, Sonbin just looks straight at the man in front of him with calm eyes. The blade of the iron sword in her hand shines sharply.
Chaeng.
Starting with someone pulling out a sword, all the men took up their weapons again. They did not dare to take Son Bin lightly.
They are also martial people who wear swords. I’m not stupid enough to doubt the outcome that happened right before my eyes.
They immediately became wary of Sun Bin and strengthened the hand holding the sword and sword. But one most important and critical problem remains.
“Uh, what should I do?”
Even if they all attack, will they be able to defeat that student?
And that judgment must be made by the man who is the strongest and most practically leading them here.
This is the man who was just shamefully pushed away by Sonbin.
‘What should I do?’
The man was thinking the same thing as everyone else.
They have the advantage in numbers. Moreover, on the outside, Sonbin is just an ordinary student.
Even when I look at it again, I don’t feel any overwhelming force or insurmountable majesty.
He just looks like a student holding an iron sword and calmly watching himself.
‘but… … .’
Even though he is surrounded by so many men, his eyes are as calm as before. You can never regard it as an act of ignorance.
No, rather, considering the sword just before, it seems like an expression of even greater confidence.
Throbbing.
‘Ugh.’
The man frowned at the sudden pain he felt and looked down at his hands. Her blood was flowing from her torn grasp.
When I collided with his ordinary-looking iron sword, I vividly recalled how heavy it was, as if I had struck a rock.
‘Tsk.’
It was a time when the man was hesitating.
“Ugh!”
An ear-piercing scream was heard. The man turned his head towards her. Then she saw an incredible sight.
“Death penalty! execution! Help me!”
He was one of those who attacked Pyohaeng along with the man.
But now his hands were literally turning red. It was as if his arms had been deeply dipped in red dye and then taken out.
“Sahyeoung!”
In front of him, who was screaming in pain, there was a heavy box on the carriage lying open.
The cloth surrounding the box was loose and the lid of the large box was hanging at an angle, so it looked like the man had opened it.
Besides him, several men were pulling Ham down, and they all seemed frozen and unable to move at the sight of him.
“Ugh!”
The man who was screaming for help could not bear the pain and fell backwards, fainting.
“Yes, priest!”
Several men rushed to him. And the man who was confronting Sonbin came to a conclusion.
“I’m backing off!”
“execution!”
Several men looked at him in surprise. But he did not change his decision.
Instead, he looked at Sonbin’s complexion. Sonbin was also frowning as she looked at the man whose arms were stained red.
He was confident that Sonbin would not hold them back.
“I will support the priest and leave here. hurry!”
Swish.
The man turned his head and glared at Sonbin.
“I will not forget today’s humiliation.”
“Your humiliation.”
Sonbin’s voice caught the man who was about to leave.
“It started when I tried to do something unrighteous in the first place.”
Sonbin said while looking straight at the man.
“If you had tried to do the right thing, even if it had been broken, you would have been proud of yourself, and you would not have had an ounce of shame towards heaven.”
Wow.
Instead of answering, the man gritted his teeth. And then she turned her head and walked away.
“let’s go!”
The men helped the unconscious man and then disappeared in perfect order.
Whilick.
The entire situation was resolved in an instant, and all that was left was the chaotic scene and So Eun-pyo’s group. But the danger has not yet gone away.
“What should I do about that?”
Nchobin’s voice was heard from behind. It was referring to a box that was left open and left unattended.
But since they just saw it, no one dares to get close. Moreover, most people were still unable to recover from the shock of the attack.
“I will do it.”
A murky, low voice answered Nchobin.
Sonbin turned his head. From the beginning, the person Eun Cho-bin asked questions about was not Son Bin.
Sabak, Sabak.
A slender girl with her face covered with cotton thread walked toward the open box. She then stretched out her thin white hand towards the open box.
Everyone’s eyes turned to the cotton girl’s hands.
“Sozer! danger… … .”
Sonbin shouted in surprise when he saw her stretching out her hand without hesitation. But before Sonbin could finish speaking, her thin, small white hand closed the box.
widely.
The girl’s hands remained white. The jade green ring on her wrist sparkles.
Sabak.
After closing the box, the girl turned and quietly walked towards Nchobin.
“It’s okay now.”
A low, rough voice. It was a voice that I could not have imagined coming from a delicate girl.
Sweet.
The cotton girl passed by Son Bin and Eun Cho-bin, entered the carriage, and closed the door. No one spoke as they stared at the closed carriage door.
“What is everyone doing? “Quickly check on the injured people.”
It was Nchobin who came to his senses first. The surroundings were a mess. Above all, there were quite a few people injured in the recent collision.
Once she treated the people, she emptied a carriage and took the wounded.
The sailors did not even want to touch the targets, but when Eun Chobin himself took the initiative to move the ships, they soon began carrying the targets one by one.
* * *
“ha.”
Eun Chobin held up his teacup and let out a long sigh. She was finally able to take a breather.
“are you okay? Jang Pyo-du.”
“It’s bearable.”
Jang Pyo-du said with a calm expression. However, he had suffered a long stab wound to his side.
Although he received treatment from a doctor, he said it was absolutely impossible to move too much for a while.
“How many people were injured?”
Eun Chobin led the group and headed to a nearby guest house. She brought a doctor from a nearby village to treat the injured soldiers.
Fortunately, no one suffered life-threatening injuries, but those were not minor injuries. Above all, the messengers were injured the most.
“There are five marks and two ranks. And Pyodu got hurt.”
Sonbin gave the answer. In his hand, as always, was a small booklet.
“I have already paid for the treatment and the medicine. and… … .”
Sonbin suddenly realized that Eunchobin was staring at him.
“Thank you.”
Nchobin said. But she soon shook her head.
“No, you shouldn’t say it like that.”
Sweet.
Nchobin stood up from his seat. Eunchobin, standing neatly with her hands clasped together, knelt somewhat on the floor of her guest room.
“Thank you for saving my life. “Son Daehyeop.”
Sararak.
Her collar fell on the floor of the room and her long black hair fell down the nape of her neck.
But Nchobin did not raise his head. The silver hairpin on her head sparkled as she lowered her head.
It rattled.
Jang Pyo-du also stood up. And like Eunchobin, she got down on one knee.
“I put on a life jacket. “Thank you, Son Dae-hyeop.”
“Oh, there. That’s not it… … .”
Sonbin was extremely embarrassed by their sudden behavior. But the two did not raise their heads.
