Episode 13. Like crazy (2)
haaam~.
The flower pot, who practices martial arts, wakes up earlier than the servants in the house and starts the morning.
I was puzzled by the eyes of the flowerpot that came out to the backyard after a simple face wash.
“uh! Why are there three threads hanging from the tree?”
Three threads rustling in the wind and footprints deep enough to make a dent in the floor.
gulp.
The pot swallowed dry saliva without even knowing it.
Then he squatted down and touched the footprints with his hand.
“With a file like this, you have to jump so fast that you can’t count them right here?”
It was faint, but it was definitely in front of the line he had drawn, so the only person who could have jumped was his younger brother.
“The place where we landed is deeper, so it’s true that we continued running here. I can’t believe Won-hwa isn’t the type to work this hard.”
Suddenly, I tilted my head.
If it was a book, he would read it even if it was a day, but he would not do martial arts training no matter how hard he tried to make an excuse.
“It seems like things have changed since the day I met the bandit. Well, I don’t care if it’s changed for the better in my opinion, but hyung doesn’t like it very much. Why are there three threads anyway?”
In fact, I was more curious about this than the fact that the footprints were deeply dug.
Examining the ends of the threads, they were all knotted, as if to indicate that something had been tied.
“Did you stab it with three stones tied together?”
Based on the footprints and threads, the flower pot imagined how the painter would have moved in his head.
Shaking my head.
But soon, his head shook.
“Hey, what nonsense am I thinking about? There’s no way Won-hwa could stab three stones with a sword at the same time!”
He was a younger brother who couldn’t even hit a standing stone, let alone a rocking stone.
There was no way that the younger brother, who had never been able to hit it while watching the corner, jumped up into the air after he left and stabbed three times in that short time to fall to the floor.
Of course, you can do it if you want to stab three times in the empty air.
However, stabbing three times and hitting all three was possible only for a person of his level.
“I don’t know why I hung up three threads, but I have to admit that I trained hard last night by myself.”
The pot once again looked at the deeply dug footprints and put on a satisfied expression.
“I have to work hard too. laugh.”
After lightly relaxing, I took out the real sword.
A pile of firewood was piled up on one side of the backyard where they practiced with a real sword.
And in the meantime, a wooden sword with a blunt end was lying around.

“Haaam, I slept well. I think I spilled a lot of sweat last night, but thanks to that, my body is so refreshed... Huh? Shouldn’t it be so refreshing?”
The painter, who had been stretching and getting up, had a suspicious look on his face as he massaged his limbs after a while.
If you suddenly overdo it, you will have muscle pain the next day.
that’s the human body
Even more, he himself was touched by something yesterday and moved like crazy until dawn.
I don’t know where I was able to move like that until dawn because my stamina soared, but I definitely jumped up and stabbed repeatedly until the dawn came.
Hijac.
When I thought of last night or today’s dawn, a smile was drawn on my lips.
“The moment I stabbed and smashed three stones in a row was thrilling, as if I had become a master of Moorim. haha.”
As I held the shape with my hand as if holding a wooden sword, I could feel the small and large muscles twitching.
‘Al should be hungry, but it looks like he has built up muscles. Oh no... isn’t this about muscle?’
In an instant, my eyes widened.
When I clench my fist, I felt it more clearly.
“How did this happen?”
When I kicked my legs, even my calves were numb.
“Heh heh..... Ah hello. Senator Bong. Forgive me for being late.”
“It’s late in the evening now. Have you had dinner?”
The worry that had been on Congressman Bong’s face disappeared in one shot.
“Oh, I haven’t eaten yet.”
“I just caught a pig today, let’s eat it together.”
“yes? I said I caught a pig.”
The painter looked at Congressman Bong, who was not angry at all, with a puzzled expression and followed him.
A party was already taking place in the backyard of the doctor’s room.
About two-thirds of the pigs had already been sold to the people around them, and the rest was grilled, boiled, and smoked by the gasols of the councilors.
growl
The fireman smelled the roasting meat and heard a rumbling in his stomach.
‘Come to think of it, I’ve never eaten meat since I came to this world!’
At home, I always ate multigrain rice and vegetables, and outside, I only bought somen noodles to save money.
There was no refrigerator, so the only way to keep meat for a long time was to smoke or jerky, so meat dishes were too expensive.
Even the fish dish was over 3 nyang.
Compared to the price of somen noodles, which are between 3 and 5 pennies, the price was absurd.
When Congressman Bong appeared, the servants stood up and bowed their heads.
“Come on. Congressman. I have already looked at the prize over there.”
“I love the smell of grilling meat.”
“It melts in your mouth.”
“Because the chef is an honored guest, bring it to the most delicious part.”
“yes.”
After a while, when the servants brought the grilled meat, the fireman made fun of his chopsticks to save face, but anyone could see that he was eating in a hurry.
When his stomach was somewhat full, Congressman Bong opened his mouth.
“Oh, this is the needle I prepared. Please see if it is similar to that of a painter.”
The painter chewed the meat on his cheek and looked at the needle that Congressman Bong had pulled out.
‘uh! what is so thin This is almost as thick as the surgical needles used in hospitals!’
“How is it?”
“Where did you buy this?”
The painter lifted the needle to examine it, then widened his eyes in surprise.
If it’s thin, it’s easy to break, but it’s hard enough that it doesn’t bend well even if you bend it with your fingers.
“Why but? Any comment?”
“No, it’s because it’s so good. Can I get this needle too?”
“If I ask, they will make it for you.”
“Then save me. No, tell me where the forge is.”
“It’s not an ordinary smithy.”
“Of course, I’m going to make a needle like this, but it must be a regular smithy.”
“That’s not what I meant... It’s because the night manager is the head of the all-night room at the prefectural office.”
“yes! It’s an all-nighter.”
The fireman’s eyes widened.
Tracing the memories of the old fireman, I was able to figure out what the all-night room was.
The all-night room was a place where weapons for the prefectural government soldiers were made.
“Yeah, only Pyochung, the master of the all-night room, can make a needle that is so thin that it won’t break.”
“Could it be that the congressman’s acupuncture needles were also made by him?”
“huh.”
The burner is rather crude compared to modern needles, but I was still surprised when I first saw Bong’s needles.
“He is a great talent.”
