There is no need to elaborate on ecology or anthropology, but humans originally live near rivers.

because-

Amazingly, humans cannot live without water!

Therefore, cities in the central plains are usually built along rivers.

If it is a large river, you wear it on your side; if it is a small river, you wear it in your crotch.

However, as an exception, the small villages were located on vague ridges at the foot of the mountain, which is a characteristic of the traditional culture of the central plains and clan villages that were completely fortified to protect against raids from neighboring villages.

Unless it is such a closed neighborhood, it is usually located near a river.

Meanwhile, the Hwangha River, one of the famous three major rivers of the Central Plains, flows above Gamsan.

And below Gamsan, the Nakha River, a tributary of the Yellow River, flows.

As a side note, the Yellow River means yellow river, and the Chinese character for ‘Ha’ itself means Yellow River.

The Yellow River is the birthplace of civilization, and in the early days when this terrible and barbaric writing system was created, there was only one river, the Yellow River.

So, when you say the Yellow River, it becomes the Yellow Yellow River, and when it is released again, it becomes the Yellow (Yellow) River and the Yellow River (Ha), so it becomes quite eerie.

Yellow yellow river river.

And the character for Nakha River is Nak, Hwangha. If you interpret this, it becomes a yellow river (Nak) and a yellow river (Ha).

Yellow yellow river yellow river river.

It could be said to be a river with a very strange name.

So Cheong came down to the bottom of the mountain and-

Also, because the land had been flooded and the mud had been swept away, the people got on the wagon halfway, got off the wagon, removed the wheels, pushed it, and barely managed to arrive at Naknyeong City.

By the way, the name of the city, Naknyeong, means hope for the well-being of the Nakha River.

As you can see from this name, it means that the city is in ruins when the river overflows.

And the drop river overflowed.

“Ah… … .”

What greeted Cheong, with mud caked and dripping down his knees, was a miserable sight of a city that had already been devastated.

The castle wall closest to the river had completely collapsed, and the civic-minded Central Plains people were working hard to remove the remains of the wall.

Of course, the remnants of this wall are collected and used to repair houses destroyed by floods, so it can be said that perfect recycling is achieved without producing waste.

The flood destroyed even the gate tower of the castle gate, which was connected to the castle wall, so much so that the castle gate was no longer functional.

There wasn’t even a guard guarding the gate, so I just rode a horse and entered the city. There were almost no obstacles left to block the view to the left side of the river, based on the main street.

The one on the right is not in good condition, so I am busy pouring out muddy water and sweating profusely from the still intact building.

Still, it’s fortunate that it’s that busy, because most of the time, wherever you look, you can see people just sitting there with a look of complete despair and letting go of everything.

Cheong’s heart is heavy when he sees that.

In fact, the Qing Dynasty knew that flood damage in the central plains was a periodic event, having heard it many times.

In old cities, when you dig up the ground, you find relics and a basement, and then they’re usually buried by floods, and then you build on top of it again, and so on, right?

However, there was a clear difference between knowing and seeing it for yourself.

After that, my thoughts went to the luggage compartment full of gold.

okay. I’m going to pick up the gold and use it somewhere.

And there is nothing more satisfying than being generous with someone else’s money.

but. Even if you put your mind to it, it’s overwhelming.

I have gold, what should I do?

Of course, Cheong is a person who asks questions when he doesn’t know.

It was one of the Qing’s few advantages.

So Cheong did that and tried to do it.

“Seol Sojeo. if. ha… … . No.”

You should ask the person you want to ask.

Besides, what else would a kid who lived in a neighborhood with nothing but ice know about flood damage?

For the first time in a while, Cheong thinks for himself.

hmm. First of all, aren’t there people like big merchants and grain merchants in the city? First of all, I think it would be enough to pay for gold and use the amount of food we have, and for restoration, we could pay an advance to a large commercial company and entrust the construction to them.

ah. okay.

There will be at least one political attaché here as well, so a native here would be more knowledgeable.

So the Qing asked about Naknyeong’s political faction, Naknyeong’s military officer. Even the name is completely native.

Cheong drove the carriage towards the Naknyeong military officer.

To be precise, the horse was going on its own, but at a fork in the road, it slowed down, and Cheong then pulled the reins to determine the direction.

As I was going slowly (because I didn’t know how to drive fast), I noticed a crowd of people crowded into a large vacant lot.

In the view from the coach seat, there is a boy hanging from a tree, with his head hanging over his head.

From the looks of it, it looks like he’s barely able to breathe while stepping on something.

Cheong jumped up from the coach seat and raised his eyes, and the boy with the hanging neck was barely able to stand, stepping on a man’s shoulder.

The faces of the man and the boy looked exactly alike, so anyone could see that they were father and son.

It was a miserable sight, with the child stepping on the father’s shoulder and hanging by the neck, barely able to breathe.

In response, people throw mud and rocks to hit the father who was supporting his son, and the man is desperately trying to maintain his balance to support his son even while being hit.

Cheong sees people a little differently.

Rather than looking at it in three dimensions, you can see the karma he has in numbers, so you can roughly estimate his actions without giving in to first impressions.

A man and a boy.

Twenty-one points of bad karma and 1 point of good karma.

They were just ordinary people.

But again, I don’t know.

Cheong lightly jumps out of the carriage, and Seoliri awkwardly grabs his arm, lowers his body, and turns around as if he wants to get off with him.

“Ah. Seol Sojeo is just here. Why are you following me when you’re not even physically fit? Sit down and rest.”

“Yes.”

From Cheong’s perspective, there were black bruises all over the outer skin of Seoliri’s body, so he thought they might be muscles.

So, it’s strange, but I feel a little sorry for him because he’s trying so hard not to show that he’s in pain.

But that’s it.

Cheong stopped paying attention and put his hand on the shoulder of an onlooker.

“Hey. What’s happening now? Why is that person hanging over there?”

“Why are you holding someone’s shoulder? ”

The man who rudely flicked his shoulder suddenly turned his head and ended up meeting Cheong’s harmful beauty at close range.

Cheong’s beauty is harmful.

It causes your heart to pound harder, and as a result, your blood pressure soars. If your blood pressure soars, it can cause various side effects.

It is a beauty that is not only harmful to the body but also very harmful mentally, so once you see it, you become unconscious, especially if you are married.

I am cursed to return home and find dried fish taking over my bedroom.

“What’s going on?”

“Keuhum. That’s it. They say that guy is the guy who designed the dimensions of the drop river.”

The man lowered his voice.

I don’t know why, but it was because the man thought it was cool to have a soft voice.

“So?”

“He shouted loudly that it wouldn’t last for a thousand years, and then he said, “What is this?” Unable to withstand one heavy rain, all the embankments and embankments burst. If it wasn’t built, it would have been overflowing with water. It’s all because of that guy… … ”

For some reason, there has been flood control work since the end of last fall, and construction of a new water gate and embankment on the Nakha River has begun.

However, that was the problem.

If it had not been built, the river would have overflowed even if there was a lot of rain and it would have been submerged, as it usually does, but since the water gate was built to block the water, the water level exceeded the limit due to the rain.

As a result, the floodgate burst and the water rushed in all at once, shattering the embankment in one fell swoop.

Thus, a huge disaster struck the city. It was a disaster of such magnitude that one could guess its power just by looking at the shattered walls.

“Hmm. So the father was the one who designed it?”

“That’s right.”

Just one point of good karma.

However, even just one dot is proof that the child is innocent, so it is impossible to let him die.

“Hmm. Could you please get out of the way?”

“What?”

He begged to get out of the way, but Cheong’s arm was already moving, and with the force of a bull pushing, a path was created for Cheong to follow.

So, when Cheong enters the middle of the clearing, the projectiles that were flying at her beauty immediately stop.

Cheong jumped up, cut the rope, grabbed the boy, and landed with a crash.

“Everyone, I know you’re angry, but isn’t this child guilty? If he is a sinner, he should be punished, but the child just had a bad father.”

“Don’t be funny! If it’s the father’s fault, shouldn’t the child have to pay for the crime too?”

Someone shouts loudly.

The murmur of “yes” and “yes” is spreading quickly.

Cheong rolled on the floor.

The whispering that was about to spread again died down due to the vibration that everyone felt through the soles of their feet.

The ground shook with a single stomp.

The woman who was like a fairy became even more like a fairy.

Of course, Cheong had no intention of supporting his father.

Flood control work is an important matter that depends on people’s lives, so if there is a defect in it, you must be held responsible for the disaster, whether intentional or unintentional.

Flood victims have the right to throw stones, so it doesn’t matter whether they throw stones at the man or set him on fire, but the child still seems innocent.

Just like the bandit boy, if you accumulate 300 points of bad karma, then Cheongdo will also get excited and throw stones together, but even if it is only 1 point, isn’t good karma good karma?

The human mind is cunning, and reactions to the same words vary depending on the beauty of the speaker.

People cleared their throats and did not object in particular to the words spoken by a world-class beauty like a heavenly fairy who suddenly appeared.

hmm. however.

Cheong looked at the dimension designer.

The father, who was desperately supporting his son, looked completely relieved and was expressing infinite gratitude to Cheong with his eyes.

Twenty-one points of bad karma.

Little by little, Cheongdo began to understand the good and bad karma, even if he could not explain it in detail.

There is no intention in good or bad karma.

Since points are only assigned based on the results of what an individual has done, regardless of whether the dimension designer was intentionally negligent, made some mistake in calculation, or did not know that such heavy rain would fall, the bad karma corresponding to the pain and sorrow caused by this disaster would have been granted.

And yet, only twenty-one points of bad karma.

Wouldn’t he have always been a very good person with this score even after receiving a huge amount of bad karma?

It was then.

“Seo, fairy! Please save my dad! My dad is not guilty!”

The boy who was busy catching his breath shouted.

When Cheong looked at the boy, the boy even shouted loudly.

“It was designed to be able to easily withstand this amount of quantity! If the construction had been done properly, it wouldn’t have exploded! It’s all because the construction wasn’t done properly!”

Umm. This is a new perspective again.

Cheong was about to look at the man again…

“What does a young guy say he knows! Since he said he was my father, how can you say that he is not guilty! We need to hang it again immediately!”

“Mrs.”

Cheong pulled out his sword and raised it high, spewing out a beautiful sparkling sword.

It’s the pretty starlight that silences everyone.

That’s because sword steel is so sharp that even to a person who doesn’t know martial arts, or rather to ordinary people, it seems like their heart is dropping.

Cheong, who had silenced the crowd with a demonstration of swordsmanship, looked at the man again.

Twenty-one points of bad karma.

If the design had been done properly and no one had been involved in the construction, would he or not have received bad karma from this disaster?

The dimension designer seemed to have interpreted Cheong’s eyes differently.

“… … That’s right.”

“What? Did the construction go wrong?”

“Like Do Kang-eon, it is my lifelong dream to leave my name written in Chi-su. It was designed to withstand even if it rained like yesterday for 30 days and an entire month.”

“But it exploded.”

“The floodgates should have been opened little by little before the water level reached, but the operation may have been inexperienced, or the construction may have been poor from the beginning.”

“Hmm. It’s unfair, but why are you saying it now?”

“I said that, but after that, he dragged my son in… … ”

“Lie! It’s a lie! That guy is trying to pass on my responsibility to the poor workers-”

Look here. Twinkle again.

Cheong was thrilled by the power of the sword.

and. If this is just one hit, we’ll all end up together.

But by the way.

Cheong stretched out his sword in the direction where the sound was heard.

“Just now? Who said that? Since a while ago, one person has been making a fuss. If you have something to say, you should come out and say it. Why are you hiding? Would you like to come out here?”
