Chapter 59 – 058 the Village – Yulkam
= Eunin is good at drawing. =
=Wow.=
The women were amazed at Hwanin’s drawing skills.
In reality, Hwanin’s drawing skills were not outstanding. It’s just capturing the characteristics of the subject well and bringing out the details through moderately detailed descriptions.
It also means that Yulkam has fallen behind enough to be regarded as great.
=Is this man a red soul?=
Epnis, who is evaluated as clever by Hwanin, notices the situation at once and asks in a serious tone.
“Yes. Resembling a pit bull in town…… He glared at the person who looked like this with a look full of resentment. Do you know someone?”
As for the true identity of Honjae, the Huini sisters seemed to know nothing. Epnis only guessed the situation, he didn’t know who it was, but Ryuhi replied with a serious face just like Epnis.
=This is Ho-ran, who had a field at the foot of the mountain. I remember that it suddenly disappeared about 10 years ago, and the villagers were worried and searched for it.=
= Ah. Was this Houran-san? I vaguely remember it too. I heard adults say that he thought his disappearance was all the more strange because he was a calm and sincere man. =
“Ryuhi. There seems to be something more I want to say.”
=…… The person who now owns the old man’s field is the person Euninnim talked about. This one.=
Ryuhi’s finger was pointing at a man who resembled a pit bull terrier.
The rest of the hypothesis, which was about 60% complete, was supplemented and the heart rate became 100%.
As expected by Hwanin, physical evidence will soon be available.
“Do you know what the relationship between these two is like?”
He was thinking of deciding how to act according to the relationship, but after hearing Ryuhi and Epnis’ explanation, Hwanin felt much lighter.
Did you always argue? Plus, the Pit Bull side is as ferocious as it looks and likes to rambunctious, so if you’re halfway out of town, your job will be easier.
Earth’s pit bulls are quiet and calm, but is this world different?
Anyway, there was no reason to hesitate. Hwanin, who was about to go to the village chief, stopped and looked at the two spirits standing behind Ryuhi.
The two men and women look at Ryuhi with a very lovable face.
‘Perhaps…….’
After thinking about it for a while, I erased the picture of the two people drawn on the leather and drew a picture of a man and a woman in as much detail as possible and showed it to Ryuhi.
“Are these two people familiar?”
= Uh…… Mom and dad…… Yes I couldn’t remember my parents’ faces little by little…… =
Tears fill Ryuhi’s eyes as he looks at Hwanin’s picture with shaking eyes.
= Eun-in. Uh, how did you know my parents?=
“Looking at you from behind with a loving face.”
=…… !=
It was Ryuhi who glanced behind her, but all she could see was the inside of the house she was familiar with because she had lived a long time.
= Ah…… Ah…….=
Ryuhi, who cradled Hwanin’s painting in his arms and knelt down, began to sob as if his longing was melting.
The couple, who did not touch Ryuhi’s head but gently stroked it, gave her eyes to Hwanin.
Eyes that have something to say.
Hwanin nodded, and the wolf man with a sharp but gentle impression broke through the wall and left the house.
Watching Ryuhi being comforted by her younger siblings, he gently tapped her on the shoulder.
“I guess your father has something to tell you.”
Ryuhi, who hastily wiped her face covered with her tears, jumps up and chases after Hwanin.
The place the wolf man guided was under a small tree behind the house.
It looked as if he was going to dig where he was standing, and when he conveyed his intention, Ryuhi hurriedly brought a shovel and started digging.
Kak!
= Ah…….=
Not long after digging, Ryuhi threw the shovel at the sound of the shovel tip hitting something hard. Ryuhi carefully removed the soil with his hand and slowly lifted the box covered in dirt, measuring about 40cm in width and height, from the ground.
Inside the wooden box, which seemed to have been corroded over time, there were several silver coins, a trivial wooden statue that was difficult to identify, a few stones that looked like gemstones, and pearl-colored shells rolling around with the soil.
= It must be the property that the uncle and the aunt saved for their older sisters’ marriages…….=
At Epnis’ sullen story, Ryuhi took it into his arms and started sobbing again.
= Huh. Mom…… Dad…… !=
“Ryuhi. It seems that your parents are paying for it. Shouldn’t we send you the last way with a smile on your face?”
=…… ! Uh where? Where are you?=
“It is right in front. About 1m ahead.”
After putting down the box and standing up, Ryuhi wiped all the tears from his face with his sleeve and began to pray while clasping his hands together while forcing a smile on his face.
It is a prayer like a promise to parents who are reaching Buddhahood not to worry about themselves and to live a happy life.
Ryuhi’s parents looked at their daughter with her soft eyes and bowed down to her Hwanin. And like Lua who had fulfilled her will, it disappeared as if it melted into thin air, leaving only a few drops of light.
Waiting for the remaining drops of light to burst and disappear, Hwanin put his hand on Ryuhi’s shoulder and said quietly.
“You are gone.”
As if she had been holding back her tears, Ryuhi burst out crying again at the same time as Hwanin’s words, and shed tears as she jumped into Hwanin’s arms.
Tears flowed as if overflowing with a mix of emotions.
It took an instant for the town to know what had happened at Ryuhi’s house.
A few village women who could not overcome their curiosity and secretly followed them witnessed everything that had happened behind the house and informed the villagers of everything.
Ryuhi, who had swollen eyes under his eyes, also brought the pictures drawn by Hwanin and the things left by his parents and showed them to the villagers, so he showed things that he could not know unless he had seen them himself or had the ability of a spirit practitioner, so he doubted the fact. There were no people.
=Then…… Were Ryuhi’s parents, Byugsel and Ryuanne, mixed?=
The village headman asked with an expression of how he could do that, so he shook his head, saying he was not a Hwanin.
“I took them because I wanted to ask them a few things to confirm. The two souls were just there at the right time, so I only guided them.”
Oh oh An exclamation broke out among the villagers.
Did you hear They say that the Byugcells have reached Buddhahood!
To say that I watched without attaining Buddhahood for six years, I must have been caught quite a bit.
How can I close my eyes comfortably, leaving only my two daughters behind? So did my country.
Let’s say that. Even that, Hana lost her life in the tsunami of Olzot-sama……. Tsk tsk.
I was able to deliver the coma money, albeit belatedly, so I’ve reached Buddhahood. I’d be comfortable
The villagers were all gathered together, still not leaving their seats.
Yesterday is the same as today, and tomorrow will be the same as today, life in a rural village full of similar work throughout the year.
The greatest event in life, the visit of the spirit master, has been prepared, but no one leaves just because they are busy with work.
What has been pushed and piled up? After the event is over, stay up all night and solve it.
If Hwanin proved his mixed existence with the Ilil flower and filled half of his faith as a spiritual master, he gave the villagers firm faith by making Ryuhi’s parents become Buddhas.
Hwanin whispered to the village chief as the villagers were exchanging stories, wondering whose turn it would be to attain Buddhahood next and what to do with Honjae.
It seems like someone killed someone and took someone’s field. For some reason, it seems to be filled with resentment. There is no need to talk at length like this.
Just lightly…….
“Honjae is glaring at Mr. Lukil with eyes full of bitterness.”
=…… !=
…… If you say, the village chief will spread his imagination by attaching all kinds of flesh through his memory.
Then this happens.
=… Vigilantes, arrest Lukil immediately.=
=Yes?=
= Are you deaf! Hurry up and grab Lukill!!=
=Yes, old!!=
The young men of the village run in a hurry and catch a pit bull-headed man named Lukil at the village chief’s unfaithful order.
=Muh, what’s going on!? Why are you doing this to me!!?=
Lukil resists those who try to tie him up, but there is no way a man who has not awakened and is not a warrior can overcome five adults.
After a while, the tied-up Lukil knelt down in front of his village chief and suddenly complained about why he was doing this.
= Chief! What do you think I did!=
=What did you do 10 years ago!=
=…… ?!=
=What the hell did you do to make Honjae stare at you as if he were going to kill you!=
The village chief’s outfit felt like it was going to explode, and Lukil felt a chill in his heart.
He looked back at Hwanin at the same time.
‘No way…… ?’
=Doesn’t I say nunui every time! Don’t do anything to incur resentment! Let’s live together instead of doing actions that will show mixed souls!! Why would that be?! When a mixture appears, a village like ours, unable to summon a spirit master, will inevitably disappear! U.S! Our ancestors! The village that all of our ancestors have built for hundreds of years will collapse in an instant!!=
Rukil and the villagers freeze at the village chief’s spirit of anger and grief.
The village chief, who had been pouring out fiery shouts, suddenly changed as if he had aged for several years and became limp, and the vigilantes scrambled to help.
=Oh, old man!=
= Chief. Are you okay?!=
=Hey Hallengel! Come quickly!=
Among the villagers, a man with the head of a yellow mixed dog rushes over, puts something like a pill in the village chief’s mouth, and massages his arms, shoulders, and legs.
<brhehe,
=It’s a pity that the spirit priest visited the village just in time to save the children…… Otherwise, within a few years our village would have been reduced to ashes……. You and your children…… Everyone must have died…….=
=…….=
=…….=
= A fool like us…… It was too late when I noticed the confusion……. Think about how the village next door disappeared…….=
People are depressed by the powerless village headman’s complaints.
It was at that time that Rukiel tried to escape as all eyes were on the village chief.
=What!=
= He runs away! =
When people noticed, it was when Lukill’s running speed reached its maximum.
The vigilante runs late, but he was a confident rookie in running. He can live as long as he gets out of town. As he thought so, he saw a man standing on the escape route out of town.
Damn souls!
The chewable Spirit Sage, who caused this situation by whispering something to the village chief, was standing there with an expressionless face.
Rukil harbored evil and tried to ram into the Spirit Corps.
Her body is small, thin, and slender, just like women. If you do a proper shoulder head-butt, you’ll break bones and fall. Then the villagers will be concerned about soul affairs, and their own pursuit will be neglected…… ?
It was when I bent my upper body as if I was tackling to feed the demon headbutt. Lukil saw something dark coming up from below.
Clap!
=Big!=
Then, I felt a terrible pain as if my neck was broken, and I fell to the ground.
Hwanin looked at the fallen Lukil with an expressionless face after being hit in the neck by his crescent moon kick.
‘I was aiming for a weakness and kicked…….’
If you wanted to kill him, you could just hit him in the head with the stone ax from his waistband. It was easy for him to put his head into action as he brought his head up as if asking for a picture.
But he shouldn’t kill himself.
Punishing the villagers should be done by the villagers themselves, and it is only natural that their image would deteriorate if an outsider touched them.
So he tried to knock him down with the few kicks he learned at the kendo gym, but he didn’t even need to use the round kick and the up kick.
When Lukil, who had collapsed and frothed, was lifted up and handed over to the vigilantes who arrived later, the vigilantes’ eyes began to sparkle like children.
Averting his gaze, he approached the village chief and asked.
“Chief. Wasn’t that wooden fence built around 10 years ago?”
=Yes…… That would have been enough. But how…… ?=
The village chief staggers to his feet and asks if he has recovered from the medicine and massage.
“I think we need to clear some of the wooden fence.”
=…… Okay. Hey Batul, help the spirit master.=
=Yes!=
Hwanin called a man called Batul and a few more people and started digging around the area where the red spirit was standing.
I have already seen that spirits move and roam freely. He also knew that the place where he died and the place where his soul resided could be different through Lua.
However, Hwanin had a feeling close to intuition that he first felt that there was something in the place where he found the red soul, where the soul stood.
It’s probably the corpse of a red soul.
Hwanin even gave the men a command and pointed out a part of the wooden fence, a log pole over 6m, and the men dutifully pulled out the log pole.
=Wow, I suddenly feel full of energy…… ?=
=What did the spirit master do to us?=
He then instructed the women who came to help with the work where to dig.
With dozens of people gathered, the work was quick.
=Hey!=
=Kyaaak!=
= Mom…… !=
A skeletonized corpse came out from under the log post of the wooden fence closest to the place where the red soul stood.
=Who, whose corpse is it?=
=Isn’t that the corpse of a mixture? Spirit Master said that Honjae was standing here.=
The village chief called out to Hwanin with a calm expression.
=Soul Master.=
“I checked a little while ago and it turned out to be a man named Houran.”
=…… !=
A great murmur spread through the crowd. And after a while
= Erai is a baby to eat! Are you still human!!
= You’re not even a dog! Have you coveted your friend’s land so much! Huh?!=
= A guy like Yulkam’s disgrace! Die die die!=
The enraged people started throwing stones at Lukil, who groaned and got up. It was because he realized what had happened in the actions of Rukil, the owner of the corpse, and the actions of the village chief.
Eventually, the villagers rush in and begin to trample and beat Lucil.
Hwanin just stood with the calm village chief and watched the scene.
= To think something like this is happening in our village……. I didn’t even know that, and I…… We are…….=
The village chief let out a big sigh and calmed down the angry villagers before continuing.
=Let’s punish that son of a bitch later. The priority now is to collect Houran’s body.=
Following the village chief’s instructions, the villagers brought a white cloth and carefully collected Houran’s bones on it.
After that, he was respectfully enshrined in the village graveyard, and a pillar was erected in the middle of the village clearing so that everyone could see it, and Rukil was hung there.
It did not mean that the execution was carried out by hanging him.
After tying his hands together and hanging them, he was sentenced to death by drying them.
Of course, it was carried out for two weeks night and day, watering it so that it would not die easily, and Rukil’s two legs were cut off just before he died, and he was thrown into a field dozens of kilometers from the village after being stuck in a sack of sacks.
Houran’s wife and children, who had been hired by Rukil and worked as workers, regained the field they should have had.
Lukil’s house and property were also transferred to Houran’s family in the name of compensation.
Rukil’s family who murdered Houran did not sympathize with Rukil’s actions, but as his family grew up receiving the benefits, all of their property was confiscated and they were expelled from the village.
Rukil’s wife knelt down in front of Houran’s wife and begged for her hands to be her feet.
= I will live in service for the rest of my life. So please forgive me for exile…… !=
People who are expelled from one village will never settle in another village. In any case, if the rumor spreads, you will be expelled from the village again.
In the end, exile is a punishment that is tantamount to dying in the field.
In order not to be kicked out of the village, the people involved desperately begged for forgiveness from Houran’s family.
Unlike Lukil, who was a dog breed, his wife and children were sincere and kind.
He was benevolent and got along well with Houran’s family, but…… No forgiveness was received.
The village chief said to Lukil’s wife and five children, who knelt down with a sad expression on his face.
=We all know that you are good and kind. However, this kind of thing needs to be punished, and the confusion is still the same. Punishment must be executed.=
= Black……. Then I will receive the same punishment as my husband. So at least let the children stay in the village……. The children are not guilty of anything, chief. Please…….=
=I’m sorry.=
= Hey, Mr. Spirit. Spirit Master! Please. If you need even this body, I’ll give it to you. Please only children, only children!=
Rukil’s family asked for help from Hwanin with the feeling of catching even a rotten rope, but Hwanin did not come out of the room, refraining from speaking because he was not a member of Yulkam Village.
= Yurisha. I’m sorry.=
= Ah, ah, ah…….=
Like that, Lukil’s family disappeared from the village at the hands of the vigilantes, and Houran’s soul, which seemed to be soaked in blood, regained its pure gray color.
