Many angles. Many angles.

It rattled.

“Uuuuu..!”

“Wow!”

“Escape!!”

As soon as the carriage stopped, the three of us immediately escaped from the rain carriage without worrying about who was first. After rolling on the floor, he stretched out.

As I was enjoying the stability of the earth with my whole body, Dang Do-yeon with a refreshing complexion came down from the coach seat.

“Whoa~ Today was a rewarding day.”

It looks like the three of us were used as a sacrifice to really relieve our stress, as our skin became radiant.

“I’ll go and say hello to the head of the family first. Heukmyo and Yeoilye Sojeo, as well as the matriarch, will be happy to welcome you.”

“Phew. Let’s go.”

Is it Dangata after a long time?

The phenomenon of attention being drawn to outsiders was the same as when I first visited Dangata. Well, it’s basically a closed place.

“With that intense prayer, single eye, and master of Myoryeong…is she by any chance Yeo Il-ye?”

“Who is that woman? You’re not an ordinary beauty…”

After whispering about this and that, we arrived at Gajujeon in the center of Dangata.

“Oh, you are here!”

As expected, when I arrived at Gajujeon, I was greeted by Pungyeongdaeju. I couldn’t help but reflexively look at Feng Yeongdaeju, who was carrying Young Younggeon around him.

Whiiing~

Hair naturally blowing in the spring breeze. A head that cannot feel any discomfort even with the eyes of a more sensitive climax expert.

That’s a wig. If the old man in the dock hadn’t told him that Grandmaster Fungyeong was bald, he might not have noticed at all.

Perhaps not noticing my gaze, Great Lord Feng Ying smiled and greeted the two women, Yeo Il-ye and Black Cat.

“Hongjuk County Association welcomes the visit of Yeo Il-ye. When the head of the family heard the news that Sojeo was in Sacheon Province, he was angry at Sojeo’s story and was delighted whenever he heard the news of his revenge.”

“I just did what I had to do as a human being. I am indebted to the party family, including Dang Do-yeon and Dang Do-gyeong, but I am reluctant to do so, so I am finally able to meet you.”

“It is an honor just to have you visit us here. I also heard news about the female ronin there. Please consider it your home and rest comfortably.”

“Thank you for your hospitality.”

“Now, let’s eat inside first.”

In the Gaju match that went that way.

“Hahahahaha! The old man’s gambling skills are all rusty now.”

The head of the family, Dang Gwang-ryeol, makes fun of the elderly man.

“Again! Let’s do it again!”

There was a poisonous old man with rolled-back eyes.

*** ***

“Left!”

“Hahaha! Wrong! Elderly man!”

“Aaaaa!!”

The trembling old man and the head of the family laughing cheerfully. We watched the two people gambling from a corner and asked Lord Feng Yeong.

“No, what kind of situation is this?”

“Phew, yes. First of all, I guess Do-yeon heard the news that the old man came back to the house, right?”

“…No?”

“Oh, I forgot.”

Dang Do-yeon smiled and said.

“After arriving at Nangin Gaekjan, I was so distracted that I forgot it. The reason I drove the carriage to Roningaekjan was because the old man returned to his family for the first time in a while. I thought there would be no need to go a long way if Mr. Ho was staying at the guest house, so I thought I would check it out.”

“Um…I see.”

Yes, there was no way Dang Do-yeon would show up at Rongin Gaekjan for no reason.

“Yes. I wish I could have heard it now… Anyway, what can I say… Hmm… Originally, Dok-ui and the head of the family did not have a very close relationship. You were a bit conflicted in opinion.”

hmm. I think you can tell that just by looking at it.

“Still, aren’t these two people the pillars of the party? Normally, people were polite to each other and kept a reasonable distance…”

After saying that, why are you looking at me?

“At this meeting, a new topic of conversation arose between the two, and it was about you.”

“Hmm…”

“I would like to ask since you are here, but have you ever shown your gambling skills in front of the elders?”

“That’s right. How would you ever show your gambling skills to an elderly person you met in the mountains?”

“….Huh. is it. I thought I would practice my skills day and night without fail.”

What are you talking about? Where is that crazy guy?

I was dumbfounded by the gaze of Lord Pung Yeong, who was looking at me as if he was disappointed. But aren’t Yeo Il-ye, Dang Do-yeon, and even Black Cat looking at me in surprise?

“It was possible to maintain that amazing gambling skill without practice…”

“I thought you put in a lot of effort every day…”

“Senior, weren’t you practicing secretly?”

“What are you talking about? I’m not crazy about gambling and it can’t be like that.”

Then it was as if he was not crazy about gambling…? Four people looking at me with confused looks like, ‘Then what?’

“…Keuhum. Anyway, I’ll get back to the main topic. Anyway, the two of you were talking about a common topic about you, and eventually ended up talking about your gambling skills. Don’t you understand betting culture now? Just like the head of the family, the old man was also a gambler who was famous in the times before him.”

“Oh, I guess so.”

“So, the old man also had a lot of pride in gambling. So, the elder pointed out that the head of the family had been robbed by an outsider through gambling, and the head of the family admitted it with a smile at first, but…”

“In the end, it turned into a gambling den.”

“That’s right.”

I shifted my gaze to the scene where the two people were having fun.

“Hehe, can I guess? It’s on the right, right?”

“Keuhum..!”

“No, it’s on the left!”

“Large!”

“I actually knew it was the center! Wahahahaha!!”

It was a scene of entertainment.

The head of the family, Dang Gwang-ryeol, is enjoying the utmost happiness by controlling the elderly man to his heart’s content. And Dog’s wife, who is updating in real time the dark history of being manipulated by a junior.

Dangaju, who made eye contact with me, knocked down her glass and said.

“Now that we have a guest, should we do this for today?”

“No nonsense! Does it make sense to just pick you and run away!”

“Uh-huh, you picked it and ran away. How long has it been since you ran out of home appliances? If you had to count the number of votes, I think it was about 9 to 0, so stop. ”

“Perfect! Just one more round!”

“Uh huh, how could I be immersed in gambling when I, as the head of the family, should be welcoming guests.”

“Aren’t they people you don’t know!”

Dangaju looked at the old man who was holding him for a moment with troubled eyes, and then sighed as if he had made up his mind.

“Hmm. So how about this?”

“….something?”

“Nowadays, it has become an unwritten rule in the Tang family to use ‘this method’ for those who wish to continue gambling in this way, such as the elderly.”

“…Oh.”

“Ah.”

That way. I think I know what it is. Am I mistaken in feeling that Dang Gaju’s fingers are somehow twitching?

“Keuhum. We might as well have a cup of tea in the reception room for a moment. After riding a horse-drawn carriage all day, my throat is burning and my legs are shaking!”

“Oh, oh…! yes. I wasn’t considerate enough! I’ll bring you my precious tea and refreshments, so please wait in the reception room!”

If something starts right in front of us and ends in night, the old man’s social reputation is the equivalent of a death sentence. Rather than witnessing such a disaster-like scene with our own eyes, let’s run away quickly.

Lord Fung Young must have come to the same conclusion as me and hurriedly pushed us into the reception room.

“Hmm….it’s a nice tea scent. After all, it’s a party song. You can feel the wealth from the tea leaves provided to the guests.”

“Dangga is somewhat idyllic. It was a precious sight to see Dok-ui, who can be said to be of advanced age, and the head of the family getting along like that!”

“Indeed, I see. I can’t believe that two people who are that close aren’t on good terms. I thought that the disciples of this sect also had a deep sense of camaraderie, but perhaps it could not extend to one family.”

“Ha, ha, ha….”

The two people, who had no idea what was at stake in the current Gaju battle, praised the relationship between the Gaju and Dok-ui, and Dang Do-yeon, who heard such praise, gave a rare and awkward smile.

“By the way, you’ve reached your peak? The growth rate is truly amazing.”

“Haha, thank you. Even though it has been less than a day since I reached the peak.”

“Yes. It looked like you were going to rise quickly. When I was creating Tang Ga-Maeng Tiger’s Dragon Fighting Technique, I thought it was too much of a waste of insight to remain second-rate… but it seems like things were resolved after meeting the old man. ”

“Yes, it’s all thanks to the old man’s advice. However, the physical problem has not been completely resolved… I think I will have to take care of Dok-ui again for a while.”

“Hahaha. Yes, it was a good thing for us.”

It’s a good thing. It doesn’t seem like he is simply talking about the fact that the reputation of the party increased by suppressing bandits.

“Now that we have a reason to catch an elderly person with wanderlust. The elderly are also old, so they should rest comfortably at home.”

“Hmm. Is that so?”

It’s a good thing for me too. In any case, it is better to receive treatment at Dangata, where you can utilize the facilities of the Tang family, than to receive treatment in the field, relying only on the doctor’s skills.

The problem is…is that I have a feeling that it won’t end with just receiving treatment?

rattle.

“Hmm. Looks like the last round is over. Let’s move to Gajujeon.”

…When we returned to Gajujeon, we were greeted by Gaju Dang Gwang-ryeol, who had a cool expression on his face as if he had just disposed of 3-day-old waste.

“You! It’s been a while! Huh, so you’ve reached your peak already!”

“It’s been a while since I saw you. The head of the family. Your complexion looks very good.”

“Uhhh! Finger exercises help blood circulation! This is all thanks to you. By the way… the beauty of the two small people catches my eyes. You are very blessed.”

“Hehe…”

“It is called a black cat. I became indebted to senior Ho for a while.”

“She is a disciple of the Jeomchang sect, but is currently on a temporary leave of absence. She is said to be Yeo Il-ye.”

“I heard their story well through Do-kyung and Do-yeon! Our family will treat you as a guest forever, so please rest well.”

“Thank you for your hospitality.”

“I will be indebted to you regardless of shame.”

“So, are you planning on going to Do-kyung’s house rather than the guesthouse?”

“First, I would like to go to Do-kyung’s house to say hello.”

“Hehe, I don’t know if it will work out the way I want it to, but…I guess I get it for now. If you have time, would you stop by Gajujeon again tomorrow?”

“I will. The head of the family.”

The encounter with the head of the family ended briefly. The head of the family, who knew very well that we would be staying in Dangata for a while as long as Dokui was there, seemed to have decided that there was no need to talk too long with us who had just arrived.

“So, how is Ryo-ah doing?”

“Rye….Hehe. I’m doing very well.”

I wonder how much homework Ryeo-ah finished.

As I was walking and thinking about other things for a while, I saw someone waiting for me in front of Gajujeon.

“Poisonous old man.”

“It’s been a while, dear. Even the wife and daughter back then… have advanced to the next level.”

“It’s been a while since I saw you.”

“Yes, you too…um. From the rumors, it seemed like they were doing well.”

“Yes. I was barely able to clear my karma.”

Heukmyo, Yeo Il-ye, and Dang Do-yeon, who exchanged greetings with the old man in Dok, took notice of the old man’s attitude as if he had some business to do with them, so they said they would go to Dang Do-gyeong’s house first and moved on.

“Keuhum. Hmm…yeah…you…you’ve already reached your peak.”

“Haha, isn’t this all the result of the elder’s hard work? By burning the seven elixirs through the Soju Hwarun method, this path was opened. Thank you again.”

“Kuchum. hmm. Yes, you can’t say I have no virtue at all.”

As expected….that’s right.

Even though she was poison’s wife, who seemed to have changed nothing at all from before… she couldn’t avoid my keen eye.

The hood the old man was wearing had come down about an inch and a half to two inches, completely covering his forehead.

why.

Did the old man suddenly lower his hood?

…I guess the reason was to cover up the slightly swollen middle part of the forehead.

To be precise, to cover up the traces of something that started with the head of the family and ended with the night…

I thought about this while looking at the old man who was hesitant about how to say something.

Yes, now, in order to break through the climax again, we have to continue to deal with the poisonous elder, so let’s take this opportunity to shake it off.

“I have thought a lot about this and that to repay the debt I owe to my elders.”

“…Hmm?”

“But the only means of repaying my debt to my elders was gambling, which I possessed a talent for.”

The situation was kidnapped by Dang Do-yeon and headed to Dangga. Of all the things in my arms, the only one that could use dexterity was Cheong Geonghwan.

As he used light hand techniques to remove the health pills and make them appear, the old man’s eyes widened.

“When you travel around the world, aren’t there times when you hang out with people and gamble? I’d like to tell you a little technique that might be helpful at that time… Will you allow me?”

The old man, who had seen my hand skills, clenched his fists.

“…Please!”

The poisonous old man is a frog who went out of the well for a while and then came back into the well.

The frog’s adaptation to the well has begun.
