Chapter 70
Episode 70 Hafusega’s Bastards (1)
Gigi Geek-!
It was the sound of the main gate of the village being opened.
Dong-gu couldn’t close his mouth at the sight of what was revealed inside.
“What the hell happened….”
The first thing I noticed was the blood stains sprinkled all over the front yard.
Did someone get murdered in the house?
The family members who were handling the situation all looked like they were dying.
How could I have known that today, after returning after ten years, my family would be mourning a funeral?
While the embarrassed Dong-gu hesitated, a familiar man came striding towards him.
“Third brother, you are not qualified to come in, so go back.”
He was Dong-seok, the youngest of seven brothers.
I was thankful that he remembered me, but as soon as I saw him, he was a congratulatory guest. I couldn’t just come this far and go back.
“Seok-ah….”
“Where and what have you been doing while the family is like this?”
“There have been some circumstances in the past. Let’s start with what the hell is going on…”
“Get out!”
“….”
How can they be so cold-hearted when they haven’t seen each other in a long time?
He never imagined that he would be kicked out like this.
Seeing tears of sadness welling up in the corners of the youngest child’s eyes, it seemed like there was something going on.
It wasn’t just the youngest. Eyes that have all lost their life. The other family members didn’t look much different.
Dong-gu lowered his head with a dark complexion. How could I go back after coming such a long distance? It felt like the sky was falling.
Just as I was hesitating like that.
“Ugh…”
The girl’s moans caught Dong-seok’s attention.
Two children clinging to Dong-gu’s waist.
Among them, there was Yooseol, who was clutching his lower abdomen as if he couldn’t hold back his hunger.
Was it because the children seemed pitiful? The youngest member, Dong-seok, lowered his voice a little.
“Are they kids?”
“That…”
Dong-gu hesitated, unable to answer right away. Because it was clear that if I said no, I would be kicked out like this.
At that time, Yoo Seol slumped his shoulders with a dying expression.
“I’m hungry….”
I wasn’t able to feed him anything all day because he was in a hurry.
However, only he knew whether it was because he was truly hungry or whether he was just trying to help Dong-gu.
In any case, we can’t be so cruel to our children.
Dong-seok, who was looking at the children with pity, reluctantly sighed.
“The reason I open the door is because of the kids, so just feed them and then leave.”
“Thank you, Seok-ah.”
He wrapped his arms around Yujinsan and Yuseol’s backs without even looking at Donggu.
“Let’s go in, guys.”
Yu Jin-san’s eyes sank deeply as he looked around the manor.
Someone’s body covered in white cloth. And the family members sat down with faces as if they had lost the whole world.
The appearance of the manor, covered in deep dark clouds, appeared to overlap with that of the Yu household.
“Go inside and rest for a while.”
“thank you.”
Yu Jin-san and her granddaughter sat in a small room holding their breath and looked at each other’s faces.
The sounds of the two brothers talking could continue to be heard outside.
“Seok-ah. “Tell me what’s going on.”
“Our brothers. Everyone died except me. Moreover, my father was sick and my mother died of shock.”
“What does that mean?”
“Who do you think that body is? The sixth brother is Cheol. “Now it’s my turn next.”
“…what?”
Dong-gu seemed very shocked.
He was speechless for a while and soon began to sob loudly.
The youngest waited until he calmed down.
How much time has passed? When Dong-gu opened his mouth again, his voice was filled with anger and sadness.
“Who did that?”
“Even if you know, you can’t do anything about it, so just go back. “If you stay here, we’ll die together.”
It was the moment when the hidden reason why the youngest tried to send Dong-gu away was revealed.
The atmosphere of the conversation was unusual.
The story he had overheard in the room looked at his grandfather with a sad face.
“What should I do….”
“Hmm. “Let’s listen some more first.”
The conversation between the two brothers became more serious.
Inferring from what has been said so far, the brothers are being murdered one by one in order. Even in your own home.
It was something I couldn’t understand at all.
“Not long ago, there was an incident where the fourth brother accidentally killed the youngest son of the Hafuse family while he was at work.”
Hafusega (夏候世家).
I had also heard of Eugene Mountain. It was a family that formed the largest power in Hanam and was a prestigious family that could not be compared to the head of the Dong family.
“The fourth? “How did such an accident happen while you were at work?”
Originally, bimu uses wooden swords and it is common to fight herbally without using internal strength. Therefore, such accidents were rare.
“That bastard from the Xiafuse family asked for a real sword sparring match.”
“You mean real sword sparring…?”
“He was coveting the person who would become his fourth brother’s sister-in-law. I kept courting her, but when things didn’t go my way, I tried to use a trick. “As the fight intensified, the accident occurred.”
“Then it’s not our fault?”
“Justice follows power. Under the pretext of that, the Xiafu family comes to our village head once every four days and forces us to do business together. “Today was that day.”
“These people who will kill you…”
Judging from Dong-gu’s voice, it seemed like he couldn’t control his emotions.
It had to be that way since the family that returned after ten years was devastated.
“It’s my turn in four days. I said I won’t quit until my family’s seed is destroyed, so don’t get killed and leave with the kids. “They are children and will not be treated as such.”
Because they were a large family that had settled here for hundreds of years, it was impossible for them to escape as a group. Even if he tried, there was no way the Hafuse family wouldn’t notice.
I couldn’t even imagine how much harassment I must have suffered in this difficult situation.
Dong-gu was not going to back down like this.
“Now that Brother Lee is here, don’t worry. “With the martial arts that I have honed for ten years….”
“It’s not a matter of having third-rate skills!”
“….”
Dong-seok had a good understanding of Dong-gu’s skills.
In Hafuse, there will be not only top-notch experts but also peak experts. Even with a decent level of skill, it was impossible.
At that time, the voice of an old woman was heard from somewhere.
“Oh my, we’re in Dong-gu! And Seok, what kind of habit does this guy have with his brother whom he hasn’t seen in a long time?”
“Aunt, that’s not it….”
After being scolded for a while, Dong-seok disappeared somewhere.
She exchanged a few words with Dong-gu and then opened the door where Jin-san Yu and her granddaughter were waiting.
“Oh my pretty babies. How hard did it take to get here? Come on, you guys, come out. “Should I say hello to grandpa first?”
I was planning on staying a little while and then leaving right away, but things were getting bigger.
Eugene San suddenly walked out the door with his granddaughter.
The old woman stroked their heads and then pointed to a nearby pavilion and said to Dong-gu.
“I’ll prepare some food for you, so take the kids and say hello and then come.”
It was hectic because it was the day of the funeral, but as an adult, I wanted to provide something to feed my nephew and children who came from far away.
“Yes, Aunt.”
“And just in case, don’t mention Hafuse in front of your father. “He throws a fit even if he hears a sound.”
“I’ll keep that in mind.”
Dong-gu walked holding the hands of Jin-san Yu and Seol Yoo with an awkward gesture.
When the surroundings became quiet, he bent his upper body and whispered in a low voice.
“I’m sorry, guys. Given this situation, can you think of me as your father just today? “I’ll make an excuse right away and let you go…”
Yu Jin-san hesitated for a moment.
How could he not like calling someone younger than him father?
Did you read his thoughts? Yu Seol gazed at his grandfather’s face and sent a message.
– Grandpa Dong-gu, you’re pitiful…
You can’t just pretend not to notice when even your granddaughter is asking for you.
He thought for a moment and then nodded.
Crucially, he also had plans to use Dong-gu. Since it was like paying the price in advance, there was nothing to lose.
“All right.”
“thanks. “I will definitely repay you later.”
Dong-gu took a deep breath and opened the door carefully.
“Father, Dong-gu is here!”
Inside, an elderly man was lying in a hospital bed.
A complexion that has lost its color and two eyes that have lost focus.
Yu Jin-san saw his old self in the head of the Donggajang family. That moment when I tried to give up on life because of the shock that was difficult to bear.
If I lost my mind, I wouldn’t be able to see anything.
“….”
He didn’t even move, as if his soul had escaped him.
He clearly looked like he had given up on life.
How could he be sane when his sons were murdered one by one in front of him and he even lost his wife?
“Father…”
“….”
Dong-gu, who was kneeling in front of him, begged with tears in his eyes, but there was still no response.
“Wow. It’s too late for this ugly bastard. sorry. “I’m sorry, father… hehehe.”
Did you feel sorry for him? Yoo Seol also kept his mouth shut and had a gloomy expression on his face.
Immediately afterwards, he grabbed the grandfather’s collar and sent a message.
– What should I do, Grandpa Dong-gu?… Can’t we help?
Jinsan Yu recalled the moment when he stood up again after trying to die.
It was a miraculous moment when, on the day when I lost everything and was about to die, I found a reason to live.
– I’m not sure, but it’s worth a try. That is, if Seol helps us.
– okay. I will help.
Jinsan Yu whispered a few words to his granddaughter.
The quick-witted Yuseol slightly nodded his head once. Then, he naturally walked next to Dong-gu and held the head of the family’s hand.
“Grandfather’s granddaughter is here~”
Dong-gu, who was at the third-rate level, didn’t notice.
The energy that emanated from Yu Seol’s grasp is seeping into the head’s body.
The profound energy of the flower world began to circulate through his blood path according to certain laws. It was a Confucian mind method that comforts the mind and body.
As time passed, the matriarch’s pale face began to turn pale.
Dong-gu recognized this and spoke urgently.
“Oh father? Are you out of your mind?”
There was no way there was a reaction.
There was still nothing to be seen or heard in the matriarch’s field of vision.
You have blocked your eyes and ears, which are the gateways that connect you with the world. The story only made his mind and body feel more at ease.
It had to stimulate something stirring deep within his soul.
Jinsan Yu sent a direct message to the head of Dongjiajang.
– I know. That everyone is listening. If you stay like this, you will remain a loser until the end.
“….”
As expected, there has been no response yet.
Since it was not possible to drag it out for a long time, Jinsan Yu immediately took the initiative.
– The descendants achieved enlightenment of nothingness and returned as masters. Now wake up. You have to see Hafuse beat those guys to death.
Didn’t they say that if you bring up the word hafusega, you’ll have a seizure?
But there was no way to wake him without touching the only part of him that reacted.
At that moment, something amazing happened.
Isn’t the hazy matriarch’s eyes suddenly shaking?
Eventually, his mouth opened softly.
“Hafuge… right… those bad guys who killed my son… I have to wipe them all out…”
Dong-gu looked at him with blank eyes.
“Oh father?”
Gaju’s eyes gradually come into focus. After a while, his appearance completely changed.
Isn’t he suddenly raising his upper body as if he had been lying down in pain?
“Dong-gu! “Isn’t it Dong-gu?”
“Yes, father. That’s me! Hehehe. “I was worried.”
“This guy came back very well.”
Gaju and Donggu hugged each other and were happy.
After a while. His eyes turned to Dong-gu’s back.
“My grandchildren?”
“…Yes?How do you know?”
It was as if he had become a different person.
The matriarch’s eyes were overflowing with deep energy.
“My pretty babies, come closer and take a look.”
