    [Episode 210] Let’s dance.

    A funny person said in Cheong’s hometown. It is said that life is a tragedy when seen close up but a comedy when seen from afar.

    Cheong’s situation was exactly like this.

    From afar he was just a simpleton who learned a harsh lesson after playing around at the dinner table.

    But what if you look closer?

    It hurts it hurts so much it hurts like crazy.

    “Because Cheong-ah doesn’t take anesthesia. “There’s nothing I can do for you…”

    Since the tongue was cut so severely the affected area should have been stitched up but that was not possible because the anesthesia did not work.

    “So we should leave it as is?”

    Paeng Daesan said as he watched Cheong swallowing his own blood in large gulp.

    Tang Nana shook her head.

    “If the head of the government had asked me to sew my tongue without anesthesia I would have just taken numbing medicine and done it…”

    The tongue is a vital point where all kinds of nerves extend so no matter how patient a person is he or she cannot endure it sanely.

    Moreover the attempt itself was dangerous.

    This is because people grit their teeth when they are in pain.

    If you take out the tongue and sew it up and clench your teeth the entire tongue could be cut off in an attempt to attach it.

    So Tang Nan-ah’s prescription was simple.

    Hemostatic acid was poured into the mouth.

    If you just stop the bleeding the tongue is an organ that regenerates quickly so it will heal quickly.

    However hemostatic acid is very bitter and spicy…

    Cheong was just in tears.

    “Nana…”

    “huh? why?”

    “Maybe this or that Muggles…”

    Tang Nan-ah hit Cheong on the shoulder loudly.

    “No does it matter if I can eat dinner now or not if I cut my tongue in half? “Doesn’t your tongue hurt?”

    “It’s not like Hanho Makgaji…”

    “Heng. For the time being I’ll have to drink sheep’s milk mixed with honey. “Isn’t the tongue usually hanging out when people chew something?”

    The tongue’s role is to move food diligently and push it between the teeth when chewing so you shouldn’t chew anything at all right now.

    “Oh no…”

    The light went out in Cheong’s eyes.

    These were the eyes of someone truly in despair.

    It was also described as dead eyes.

    “And sparring is also prohibited for the time being.”

    “why…”

    “That’s because strenuous exercise is prohibited. What if it bleeds again? “The period of not being able to eat the food you like starts from the beginning?”

    “Ang grandma…”

    “And don’t even talk. “Every time you say a word the time you spend eating gets longer.”

    Cheong nodded his head enthusiastically.

    Tang Nan-ah also had a great realization.

    Cheong listens well when you threaten him with rice.

    “Don’t lower it below your heart to prevent blood from rushing to your head. When sleeping lie on your back with a high pillow. “Don’t lie on your side.”

    Nod.

    I watched Cheong sparring in a corner of the training hall with a lost expression on his face.

    Then a thought occurred to me: wouldn’t a merchant with no official record know a training method that would allow him to do this?

    I headed toward the bathroom wondering if Cheong might be there.

    As expected I saw Cheon Yu-hak still lying down on the mat.

    It seemed like he was sleeping while snoring but as soon as Cheong approached him he naturally opened his eyes and sat up.

    “What? “Are you finally thinking of doing the obeisance ritual now?”

    Cheong shook his head.

    Cheon Yu-hak frowned at that.

    “Why are you shaking your head with your mouth open?”

    “permission…”

    Then Cheon Yu-hak burst into laughter.

    “Are you coming? It looks like you got cut while eating right? Isn’t it an ordeal that we all go through once in a while? I stabbed myself quite a bit too. “There was a time when my lip was cut in half.”

    “….”

    “Why didn’t you tell me in advance? Do you think you will be stopped if you say that? “If you don’t experience it yourself it will happen eventually even if you say a thousand words.”

    “…?”

    “How did you guess just by looking at the facial expression? This is your age girl. “Your facial expressions are so easy to read.”

    “….”

    “I don’t know about that. “Say it with words.”

    Then Cheong spoke slowly.

    “It’s intense… I know… the skill…”

    “Is there a training method that doesn’t involve vigorous physical movement? “It looks like you got cut pretty badly. You’re going to train even after that?”

    “my.”

    “Well there is just the right training.”

    Cheong’s expression brightened at that.

    Then Cheon Yu-hak snorted.

    “If you are not my disciple is there any reason for me to tell you? This is a funny girl. Or even now bowing rites…”

    Before Cheong could finish speaking he bowed his waist. I was told not to let my head go down below my heart so the angle wasn’t deep.

    “You are so stubborn! Oh. okay. ruler. “Take this.”

    Cheon Yu-hak took something out of his pocket and threw it at him. When he caught it he saw that it was a Buddha statue that had been carved in great detail down to every small decoration and every wrinkle on the clothes.

    It was an item that seemed very precious even to Cheong who was unfamiliar with Buddhist art.

    “You have a celadon sword right? “Get a large radish from the kitchen and cut it just like that.”

    “….”

    “Is this helpful? Are you trying to learn softness? Softness ultimately comes from detail and sensitivity. “It’s all very grandiose to say things like grafting diathesis and rooting four limbs but in the end isn’t it a technique of drilling down passing over and returning to just a few very minute angles?”

    “…?”

    “Strength is just strength. Faster and harder with more power. Of course a person’s power is ultimately limited so it cannot increase dramatically. So I will hone my skills to become more powerful with my abilities. Still it’s not that difficult compared to how soft it is. This is why there are not many martial arts that use softness as a trick.”

    Martial arts that use softness as a technique are said to be of no practical use as they produce little power if they are too difficult and the level of achievement is low.

    “…!”

    Cheon Yu-hak continued to understand Cheong’s silence.

    “why. Were you surprised because it seemed like a surprisingly good expert? I’m just a light person. Isn’t it funny that you’re an expert in the first place and you’re trying to gain weight? “What kind of face can you eat?”

    Cheong nodded his head vigorously.

    It was a very enthusiastic agreement.

    Cheon Yu-hak grinned.

    Somehow the more I look at it the more I crave it.

    “Uncharacteristic of a Taoist we have a common mind. Aren’t they the ones who originally cared the most about respect? Are you really not going to become my disciple?”

    Cheong folded his back again.

    Cheon Yu-hak clicked his tongue.

    “Then don’t disturb an adult you don’t know and get out of the way. He comes only when necessary. “Hmm.”

    After hearing those words Cheong expressed his gratitude with a strong pronunciation as he felt a prickly feeling.

    “oh. thank you…”

    “No work.”

    After saying this Cheon Yu-hak lay down again and closed his eyes.

    Cheong stood restlessly for a moment but when he realized that the snoring meant that he should stop he quietly walked away.

    Just like that Cheong got a whole box of radishes from the kitchen and returned to the training center.

    “what! “Cheong you can’t eat it.”

    Cheong’s eyes narrowed.

    Do you think this guy just treats people like crap? Besides if you really want to eat it why not eat something delicious or chew on raw radish?

    After giving Cheong an impression he took a seat and started peeling radishes.

    But um. It doesn’t work out like you think.

    I guessed that carving a Buddha statue would be difficult.

    That’s because I’ve never seen it as a sculpture and besides the detail of the Buddha statue wasn’t at an ordinary level.

    Still I thought it would work somehow but it was a mess.

    First of all tools were a big problem.

    Carving knives are not made with several blades each as long as a finger and each with a different angle and angle.

    Each has its own use so different knives are used for carving surfaces carving circles and carving details.

    In addition since detailed work was required the blade was made short to hold the batu.

    However the length of a celadon sword is considerably longer than among daggers and it is so sharp that it can cut radishes like tofu by simply touching them.

    So let alone the Buddha statue I couldn’t even find the most basic form so I just threw away the precious radish.

    “You keep playing with your food.”

    Cheong rolled his eyes and spoke instead.

    Peng Daesan shrugged his shoulders and sparred with his sister again.

    However since Cheong did not participate in the sparring only Tang Nan-ah who was next to him was very excited.

    “I also did a lot of sculpting. “It is very effective in developing dexterity so it is very helpful when practicing arm techniques.”

    Hearing that I feel like I have more confidence in the bookseller’s training methods.

    Tang Nan-er took out a sword from the side and carved out a realistic imitation of a Buddha statue by carving a radish.

    Of course it was only the shape and posture and it did not reach the level of detail of the Buddha statue presented by Cheon Yuhak.

    “Is there a trick to this too? First we need to achieve balance with a large lump. From here head body and feet. “First think about the balance of the form.”

    After hearing the explanation I felt like I understood.

    And if you think you can sculpt just by listening to a few explanations then who in the world isn’t a sculptor?

    Still Cheong did not give up.

    It’s not that Cheong is an indomitable man but he can’t sit idle.

    When you need to improve your skills even just a little bit you can’t stop just because your tongue is split.

    —-

    Turn back time a few days ago –

    Eon Yeon-young had a very disgusted expression.

    “Oh my god. “Are you really planning on taking that ugly dirty dog ​​with you?”

    “It was fate that brought us this far so why can’t we reap it?”

    “Once a dog becomes a wild dog it starts biting people right? “Are they no different from domestic animals and wild animals?”

    “Are you really worried that this old man will get bitten by the dog?”

    Then Eon Yeon-young tried to persuade him again.

    If you really hate it why did the quiet girl as if you were drunk on water or on alcohol start talking passionately?

    “Besides dogs smell. Moreover their fur is long and flutters all around and if you go for a walk the mountains and fields will be covered in bed bugs fleas bugs and dirt.”

    “under. Who told you to raise it? “I’m going to raise him in my own home but why do you hate such a strict girl?”

    “Oh my god. Shouldn’t you be more considerate of the people you live with? I don’t like it. “I just hate animals.”

    “The girl who lives in an apartment is picky. If you don’t like it shouldn’t you just go live at Dokma or Geomman’s?”

    “That’s really too much… It’s such a sad situation for people to be homeless because they don’t have a home…”

    Eon Yeon-young pretended to wipe away tears but soon her eyes were filled with evil and murder.

    “If you really want to do that teach them not to stick their snouts out towards the outbuildings. “If you take even one step in I will slaughter you and throw you to Yukgan.”

    And now-

    “Oh my gosh! Did you roll in the mud like this? no. Sit down. He listens beautifully and well. ruler. Shall we go take a shower?”

    Since Chuchu means an ugly dog it may be said that it is a bit harsh to name it as a dog.

    However anyone can see that it is an ugly dog so just looking at it will tell you that it is an appropriate name.

    “Pursuing it is a great blessing. “It is a great blessing.”

    “Oh my god. Isn’t that the perfect pursuit for anyone? Chugu which name do you like?”

    Kkeung kung. The dog barked and fell down at Eon Yeon-yeong’s feet wagging its tail.

    “Look Sinpa. “They say pursuit is good.”

    At that Sosumapa’s expression distorted.

    “This bitch who would rather do something than get slaughtered is so excited that she’s in an uproar.”

    “Uhm. “Let me tell you that my thoughts have changed a little.”

    “Do you completely change your complexion just because you changed a little? “It’s also shameless.”

    Eon Yeon-young smiled faintly at that.

    “Sinpa. Have you ever had that experience? Have you ever been so lonely that even when you’re with someone you’re always lonely? “I feel like I’ve been thrown all alone into the world…”

    “joy. “Life is essentially lived alone.”

    “The new faction won’t understand. “You can’t even imagine what it feels like to be different from others and to be alone in the world.”

    “People are inherently like that. “You may know waterways but you don’t know people no matter how well you think you know at some point you realize that you don’t know anything.”

    It was a voice full of regret.

    At that Eon Yeon-young’s smile deepened.

    “What I said was about essence rather than the heart… Anyway isn’t it too harsh to be alone in the world? I am not confident. So I tried changing it. “How about Chu Chu you can understand me now right?”

    Kung kung.

    Then Chu Chu barked as if he understood.

    At that Eon Yeon-young’s smile grew even deeper.
