Because of Dang Do-gyeong, who was liked by other ronin people except me, a strange culture arose in the ronin guesthouse, where other ronin people gathered together and ate together at Dang Do-gyeong’s meal times.

It would be more accurate to say that ronin who wanted to eat with Dang Do-gyeong gathered together during Dang Do-gyeong’s meal time.

After Dang Do-gyeong found out about this, he set a precise meal time.

“Haha, after the party leader came to Rongin Gaekjan… it almost became like a big family eating a meal.”

Yeo Jin-sang slightly got lucky. Tang Do-gyeong just smiled sheepishly. It looks like he feels embarrassed that a change has occurred in the ronin’s guesthouse because of him.

“Haha, yes, I remember my childhood when I see all these dark guys gathered together.”

“Oh, I guess Brother Jeong had quite a large family. Because I came from a family of fishermen, I lived simply with my parents.”

“I came to live with a relative who lost their home due to a landslide. It was a very tight house for our family to live in, so it was very inconvenient when the two families merged. Meal times were especially spectacular.”

“Hoo.”

“There wasn’t enough space or size on the table, so I decided on a bun and ate, but when I went in for the next meal, there wouldn’t be any side dishes left, right? My relative’s family lost all their property in a sudden landslide, and my family was not very wealthy, so a rich table was impossible.”

“I guess you weren’t just paying attention to Jeong’s personality?”

“You got it right. At that time, I told them to be careful about what other people were eating, and my angry relatives rushed in and fought with me. It was three to one, so we couldn’t avoid defeat, but we fought hard, and the adults in the house, who were angry at the children’s fight, stripped us all and threw us out of the house.”

“Hahahaha! It seems that getting kicked out of the house is a common punishment in any household. If I had an accident, I would also be kicked out of the house and sit on the sandy beach, staring at the sea in vain.”

“Or hit your calves with a whip until they explode!”

“Hehe.”

The atmosphere became warm as the elderly people talked about their childhood memories with Jung-gu heating. Tang Do-gyeong was also smiling, perhaps influenced by the cheerful atmosphere.

Jeongsam spoke carefully.

“Don’t you also have some memories from your childhood?”

“Well, that’s right. Do you all know about the blood lineage of the Tang family?”

The Ronin nodded their heads in silence.

“In Dangata, there are schools where children gather according to their age group and receive education. Whether it’s education or play, it’s all centered around the school. Well…it’s just a story of memories…”

Dang Do-gyeong, who was lost in thought for a moment, chuckled.

“People with the Tang surname are usually dexterous. Even though it is a martial arts world, there are many people who are active in the production field, and what can I say about the dexterity of those who throw memorization? As a result, some strange things happened.”

“All party members carry something called a party ticket. Not all people with the Tang surname belong to the Sichuan Tang family, so we want to make that distinction. It was popular to steal party tickets at school. Well, it was also a way to boast about how great your skills were…and I also ended up losing my party ticket. That guy who was wagging his tongue while holding my party ticket was so obnoxious…”

“Hahahaha. So I guess the party council did not sit still.”

“It’s embarrassing, but it’s true. I wanted to get revenge on that guy, but I just didn’t feel like getting back at him. Meanwhile, something caught my eye. It was called Tukyobi, and it was a memorization practice tool with a blade made of rubber.”

Of course, Sacheondanga.

Early education was clear because even young children were encouraged to memorize.

“Wouldn’t it be a truly wonderful revenge if you were to throw a donation to that guy and steal the party ticket that was in his arms exactly? So, day and night, I threw donations to study abroad.”

Chojeoljeong Gosu’s sprouts were different from the time he was born. How can you think of picking a card from someone else’s hand by rote? If I were Tang Do-kyung, I would have just kicked him out on the spot.

“After a lot of practice, I was able to take the party ticket out of his arms. At that time, I felt like I had the world, but I ripped off the guy’s clothes and threw memorized notes at people, even though they were supposed to be tuition fees, so how could I be okay? I was called to my father and beaten on the calf until it burned out.”

“Hahahaha! I guess it was inevitable that the party’s grand council would get hit in the calf!”

“Whahahaha! Since my brother was so good at memorizing things from a young age, I wonder where he is now!”

A bitter smile appeared on Tang Dao-gyeong’s face.

“I’m probably worse off now than I was when I was young. Because I haven’t memorized any more since those days.”

The atmosphere became cold, as if cold water had been poured on it. I touched my forehead while looking at that figure. In the first place, Tang Do-gyeong’s personal history was unknown to Ronin, so it would have been assumed that since Tang Do-gyeong was a member of the Tang family, he would have naturally learned the art of cancer.

“Write.”

I whetted my appetite while watching Dangdogyeong and the Ronin eating rice in an awkward atmosphere. Rather than saying that the ronins did something wrong, it is something that can’t be helped because they don’t know the core of the story in the first place.

Anyway, trees are being planted. The countless actions of the ronin will become a forest that hides the trees, so it is time for me to step forward as well.

*** ***

Meal time when ronin gather together. He appeared in front of them holding a sheaf of paper and proudly declared.

“Literature Day is here again!”

The Ronins looked at me like, ‘What is this guy talking about?’

“Uh huh, these people are so preoccupied with the party’s grand association that they don’t even know what’s going on! Have you forgotten Literature Day? This is a phrase that is posted here and there in guesthouses to share knowledge with each other, meaning that people should not neglect the door!”

“Ah, today is the day!”

The black cat slyly accepted.

“A day to write and post words of praise, words of encouragement, or phrases you came up with and share them! Literature is food for the mind. A day to soothe the heart that has been devastated by the romance! It really feels like a family that all the Sichuan people [participate] without leaving anyone out!”

Only then did they realize that what I was doing was part of a plan to stimulate family love. I can’t swear openly because I’m in front of Tang Do-gyeong, but the stares are quite harsh.

“Well, that kid is doing it again…”

“It’s going to be a little crazy…”

“Geo! Also, there is a lot of opposition from those with little academic background! Why is Literature Day designated? Since you want to sharpen your studies and strengthen your mind, what you should truly be ashamed of is not the shortness of your studies, but your own neglect of them!”

“Hoo, I also want to write a word on this page. Would you be able to participate?”

“Of course! If you are my brother, you can do it anytime!”

As Dang Do-gyeong took the lead and took the paper, the Ronins had no choice but to stand up in a panic. The faces of the students who had suddenly been given writing assignments were filled with despair and resentment toward me, but was it my part-time job? Anyway, Ho Cheon-an died at the hands of Tang Do-gyeong.

Tang Do-gyeong was a merchant who would actively participate in such a positive event, so even if the ronin resisted, the outcome was already decided.

This is the party path you have chosen. Hold on to evil.

Anyway, the sudden surprise paper exam and prestigious academic achievement exam were followed by the cries of the students holding their brushes. On the other hand, Dang Do-gyeong, who was quietly organizing his thoughts, wrote down a sentence without hesitation and approached me.

“Can I just submit the paper?”

“Hmm Originally, it was customary to mix and paste the words so that no one could tell which person wrote which words… but since everyone is curious about your writings, if you don’t mind, can I make it public?”

“Haha, of course.”

I handed the phrase to the black cat. A black cat with adhesive applied to its back used the funeral method and attached the words of Tangdogyeong to the wall of the guest house.

If you are not aware of the problem, you are not aware of it.

Don’t worry that others don’t understand you; blame yourself for not knowing others.

Where have I heard this before?

“Is it a phrase from the Analects of Confucius?”

The black cat answered my doubts.

“That’s right. Don’t worry that others don’t understand you; blame yourself for not knowing others. I know it’s originally a phrase that emphasizes that people should be humble, but…”

“I hurriedly visited this place out of fear that my reputation would be ruined by the fact that my blood jade monument was taken away by a mere ronin. The impression I felt upon seeing ronins who were silently devoting themselves to martial arts in a worse environment than myself…I felt ashamed of myself and The joy of knowing you all…I feel like there are no better words to express these things.”

“Daehyeop…”

The ronin, who were stimulated by the words of Tang Tao Sutra, stared at the paper and began to write down one or two letters at a time. Still, you need to know the letters to read martial arts books, but writing poetry or phrases is difficult because you don’t know the letters.

Ronans roll their eyes here and there, wondering if they can steal a single word, and ronin people bow down to write in order to protect their writings from such ronins. A person who refuses to paint his brush with ink while those who take the paper back for writing something wrong. And the old people thought that wherever they went, even if they turned the paper over, the places where people lived were the same.

“Alright, everyone submit!”

Ron people who throw out turned papers in fear that someone will notice. Me and the black cat also wrote words and mixed them in.

With my heart pounding, I handed the wad of paper to the black cat, which skillfully applied glue and spread it everywhere. The various phrases posted around the guesthouse had a unique inspiration, so even the elderly people looked at them with exclamations of admiration.

“Now, let’s take some time to appreciate it.”

The reason my heart was pounding was not because I wanted to show my inscription to the ronin. It was because I wrote down my realization between those pieces of paper.

There was 7 days until Tang Do-gyeong’s isolation was canceled, but I didn’t know that. Tang Dok-gi seems willing to wait a week, but 7 days is more than enough time for the rumor to reach Dangata.

Even if Tang Doki does not report it, rumors can reach Dangata. Then, it was unknown what the people from the party’s main branch would react when they heard the rumor.

It takes time to digest enlightenment, so passing on enlightenment as quickly as possible was the way to achieve Tang Tao Sutra.

If you have the upright nature of Tang Tao Sutra, you will read all the words, so the transmission itself will be perfectly possible.

“Um.”

Considering the direction of Dang Tao-gyeong’s gaze, it seems that my writing will be read almost last, so I also followed the writing on the ceiling.

Gumilbokgeom, Gwontojunglae, Gwonseonjingak… etc. Most of the idioms used were old and simple idioms that anyone would know by hearing them, which roughly gave us an idea of the level of education of the ronin.

Among them, round letters caught my eye.

Sweet love cat, sweet taste

There is only one person in this roningaekjan who claims to be a cat lover and enjoys popping rice, but out of anonymity, I will not mention who it is. I need to find out where he hid his fried rice cakes and smash them to pieces.

There was another piece of paper that caught my eye.

Ten years of Hocheonan (虎天眼十世)

I burst out laughing at the unexpected hit to my solar plexus. It seems he really hated the writing he was forced to do. Since there is no such swearing in the midfield, he probably wanted to sarcastically say that he was just a 10-year-old, but I don’t know who it was, but he succeeded. After this incident, I will find you and take revenge on you.

“Who is that…”

“Huh…no matter what…”

Hearing the ronin people’s whispering, I also turned my gaze in that direction.

One, two, three, four.

No, really, who is that? Even though it was free writing and was just making paper for camouflage, I thought that was too much of a rebellious expression of opinion.

“Hey, that thing is not that easy…”

“Huh…”

Current status of heaven and earth.

Perhaps my education was short and I only knew four letters? I was fiercely curious about who wrote the first four characters of the thousand-character script, but the important thing was Tang Dao-gyeong.

Dang Do-gyeong read the words posted all over the guesthouse one by one, as if he were savoring them.

“Too much is too little… That’s a good thing… Jisoo of Myeonggyeong… That’s the mindset a warrior should have… One, two, three and four… Hmm… Looks like Dangmo’s studies are still lacking.”

Please don’t take it seriously because I’m embarrassed.

As I was writhing in shame, Dan Do-gyeong raised his head.

“These are all good articles.”

….uh?

“Dang, did you read everything?”

“That’s right. These are all good words. It’s not that there weren’t difficult things, but… I guess it’s something I should think about on my own.”

No, don’t think about things like heaven and earth and see what you can see. What are you doing without realizing your own enlightenment?

“I think I missed something, so why not watch it again?”

“Hmm. I guess that could happen.”

I watched Tang Do-gyeong’s every move, which I missed because of the sentences that stole my eyes and mind. Dang Do-gyeong’s eyes stopped on my words. Then he nodded and moved on to the next thing.

why.

My text is written very large and neatly. In any case, the meaning could be distorted if a typo is caught in Tang Do-gyeong’s eyes, so I paid special attention to that part.

Nevertheless, Dang Do-gyeong just looked at my writing and nodded calmly.

“Haha, thanks to you, I read your post again and there is something new.”

During Yeo-il-ye, I brought up the topic after explaining and conveying the meaning myself. In fact, it was just doing the same thing twice. Ultimately, the meaning is the same whether it is explaining the meaning or conveying the topic.

The quizzes were also longer and more interesting when both the solution and the topic were discussed, so we did it that way.

Even in the actual game, it is okay to use only one of the two in chat.

In order to convey it as a topic, you have to write down Chinese characters, so it is divided into two parts. In the end, the solution and the topic were the same.

why. You’re not getting enlightenment, are you? What’s the problem?

Without realizing it, I looked towards Tang Dao-gyeong.

Dang Do-gyeong was just laughing and talking with the ronin, unaware of my situation.
