Doctor’s Rebirth

Chapter 639

Episode 639

“Really? And if you want to know if the county spirit is doing his job properly, just look at how thin the old woman in the village is.”

“what?”

Jin Cheonhee slightly opened her eyes in surprise.

Sima Hyeon giggled.

“Usually, when food becomes available, grandmothers or grandfathers feed their grandchildren first. “After feeding my son and daughter, I plan to eat the leftover food.”

“Is it human instinct?”

“It could be animal instinct. “No matter what, there can’t always be a lot of food, so it’s human nature to want to give more to your grandchildren or children than to yourself, who only has a short time to live.”

“Then, if exploited, the elderly will be the first to dry out and get sick.”

“huh. In severe cases, there are cases where there are no old people in the village at all. “In a place like that, the county spirit harassed the village to the extreme.”

“….”

“Ordinary old people, especially those who have worked in farming all their lives, would rather plant a field next year even if they die than swallow a handful of seeds. “You may not be able to see next year anyway, but if you plant this seed next spring, it will be born again.”

It was terrible logic.

However, Sima Xuan continued speaking without changing his expression.

“That’s why he goes up the mountain around dawn, when the rest of his family is asleep, and never comes back. There are many cases where the body cannot even be found. They are putting it in a good light and saying that he died because he lost his footing and went blind. “It’s better to express it than commit suicide.”

It was hell.

However, no matter how well you present it, it was the life of the common people.

Sima Hyeon continued.

“They say that when hunger gets worse, people eat human flesh, and then children or old people sacrifice themselves first. But now, since the new emperor came in, there is no such place.”

“That’s a good thing. “It’s possible for humans not to fall that far.”

“that’s right. And although there are many wise men who are squeezing the people, the number of people who go in with the intention of doing so has decreased compared to the time of the emperor. “This is based on information that Hao Wen can see.”

Sima Hyeon said that and then added another word.

“…You never know. “That can happen in places like remote villages.”

Because there is no communication.

Jin Cheonhee nodded.

“But just from what you said, things have improved a lot.”

“huh. “It’s much better than before.”

‘And even then, there’s still a long way to go.’

Reality is always like that. Somewhere between heaven and hell.

We are a little further from hell now, but we are no closer to heaven.

That’s reality.

Jin Cheon-hee looked around.

It was early morning, and I saw civilians walking briskly with children on their backs and an old man walking with support.

“Here, the Hyeonryeong is still a person.”

“Well, taking kickbacks from bandits is all the same. It’s not like I ripped it off to the extreme. “The elderly have good nutrition.”

Jin Cheonhee thought.

‘So everyone is trying to come to Baeklin County.’

Each person had different standards for the worst.

For Jin Tianxi, it was the worst thing that Xuan Ling saw and turned a blind eye to the bandits, but the worst that Sima Xuan felt was different.

“Now that the bandits are gone, they are moving quickly. Both objects and people. “Oh, looking at the direction I’m going, I think I might be heading to Baekrin County.”

“Even though that’s not the case, there are a lot of people coming from other prefectures.”

Sima Hyeon chuckled at those words.

“right. You may still feel like you’re not good enough, but that’s not true. “There is no place like it in the world.”

“….”

Jin Cheonhee is lost in thought for a moment.

Seeing his brother’s expression become grave, Sima Xuan quickly changed the topic.

“Now that I think about it, we should get along too. brother.”

Jin Cheon-hee pondered and then asked.

“Seeing as what you and I are wearing are Botamun’s military uniforms, does this mean that we are roughly Botamun’s lay disciples?”

“Yes~ They are biological sisters and belong to the Cloud and Dragon Symbol Bureau. As a staff symbol, you can guess that the two of them are moving. “I even forged the battle title~” ‘

Wow, that’s meticulous.’

What is the staff here?

As a messenger, it means moving independently and delivering goods or escorting people.

In modern times, you can think of it as a small, personal courier job like Coupan Man.

While doing this, they also turn on the taxi app and transport people.

“Sister~ Let’s take a rest over there today~”

Even the voice was changed, making it look like a completely different person.

‘…Sama Hyeon, this scary kid. The role and the character became one.’

I myself have been pretty good at TRPG since the ancient primitive Internet.

Of course, I didn’t do it often because I had too much to study, but

one of the rich family’s sons kept pestering Jin Cheon-hee to play a TRPG – he was the guy who even installed a beam projector and decorated a TRPG room in his Hannam-dong mansion – and he immersed himself in the role, saying he would do it properly in his own way. It was like that.

‘Later, I also played Warhammer 40k… that game that costs a lot of money…’

It’s similar to a war game played with figures.

It’s not well known in Korea, so finding someone to do it with is a challenge.

In fact, in Korea, land in Hannam, Seoul was more expensive than the figures to be used in the game, but that was it anyway.

That guy was sincere. For some reason, her parents liked Jin Cheon-hee very much.

Jin Cheon-hee… was jealous inside.

So, I tried very hard not to vote.

‘Is he doing well too? I’m sure you’ll be fine. ‘If it’s that money.’

Anyway, as Jin Tianxi was looking at Sima Xuan, he felt like winning for the first time in a long time and practiced his voice diligently.

The moon that remained in the sky has now completely set and the sun has begun to rise.

A red band appears along the eastern horizon.

Before we knew it, we were starting to get closer to the second village.

* * *

Sima Xuan slowed down and spoke.

“Dan Seok-san’s house is in Sammyeong. “There is an area called Dowon-dong (???) with a spectacular view, and we built a mansion there and lived there.”

Jin Cheon-hee also nodded at those words.

“I heard there are a lot of people in that area because there is a famous and large temple where King Kwon’s villa is located, right?”

“huh. You already know it well. It’s a place where people with money and time come to relax. “The scenery is so beautiful that it is said that immortals live here.”

“What’s so delicious about that neighborhood?”

Jin Cheon-hee said, wiping the saliva from the corner of her mouth.

I’ve been running since dawn, so now it’s time to get hungry.

In a hurry, he took out the snack bars he had prepared in advance from his waist, ate one for himself, and handed one to Sima Xuan.

“Oh? Peanuts and walnuts… are they pine nuts? I managed to make something like this. brother?”

“huh. “I deep-fried it all, added dried persimmons, added honey, and hardened it.”

Granola bar.

It seems that Hyundai also sells it as a protein supplement, but Jin Cheon-hee just made it as a sweet and calorie-dense snack.

It’s perfect for travel.

Oh, oh, oh,

oh, do you think this will cost a lot of materials?

Jin Tianxi responded to Sima Xuan’s words.

“The ingredients themselves are surprisingly good. But it will take a lot of work.”

“okay?”

Sima Xuan’s eyes shine.

No matter how you look at it, it looks like this guy will be sold in guesthouses to people who need to use a lot of energy.

“This is perfect to eat when the assassins are in ambush.”

Jin Cheon-hee was dumbfounded by those words and asked back.

“When the assassins ambush you, are you looking for something delicious?”

“They are people too. Even in situations where we had to buy the same Byeokgokdan, the ones containing molasses were always sold out first.”

Suddenly, I thought of the assassins somewhere out there, waiting to kill Jang Moon-in, with their masks down, munching on granola bars.

Sima Hyun said.

“How important is the luster of life to a person? It doesn’t matter if he’s a good guy or a bad guy. In the first place, the assassins raised by the clan are usually orphans or children who were sold at a young age and have had all the joys of life deprived of them.”

“I heard that.”

It is one of the four great kings of ‘the reason why Gangho saves people’s lives and flies’.

Usually, when you come out wearing black, you get cut off like a fallen leaf by the main character.

The lawmaker feels a bit sad when he sees that he later decides to take action and commit suicide.

“I don’t know if they are conscious of it or not, but they still want to eat something sweet.”

It was surprising.

Usually, feeling the emotion of death itself was taboo.

Even in martial arts, when the main character is Salsu, there is always the setting that he is cold-blooded and incapable of feeling emotions.

Unless the character retained emotions through such training from the beginning, it was often at least the middle to late novels that the emotions began to return.

‘There must be at least one episode where friends who grew up together die and kill each other.’

Are you saying that such people unconsciously seek sweets?

“….”

Jin Cheonhee thought deeply and said.

“Next time, I’ll add starch syrup and make it properly.”

“Oh brother. “Do you like this business?”

“Rather, it is rehabilitation.”

“Rehabilitation?”

It reminded me of the child soldier rehabilitation program I saw in my previous life.

You had to shoot someone to get a candy bar, but there you could just get one every time you came to the rehabilitation program.

‘Of course, this is a powerhouse, so that would be impossible.’

In the first place, wasn’t gold powder taxation almost impossible?

When they let go of their swords, they either get stabbed to death by their enemies or are stabbed to death by their own allies to maintain secrecy.

In the first place, by modern standards, this world is in the midst of a small-scale civil war, and the central government, the government, is in a system of neglecting it.

This is not a situation where a person can do anything alone.

“It’s no big deal. If you eat one of these, you will come to the guesthouse often, and if you come often, you will see people around you. “If you go from just buying Byeokgokdan to eating something with a different shape like this, you might have a chance to think that I liked this kind of thing.”

Sima Hyeon responded to his brother’s words.

“If a new product comes out, are you going to try it out?”

I can’t imagine buying a new granola bar with such great enthusiasm that you forget about it before you buy it.

Sima Hyun said.

“Well, I know what you’re saying, but I’m going to do it because I think it will make money. “Wheat Grak Dan would be a good name.”

“Did you use honey and wheat?”

“If you look at the pronunciation, it seems like it means secret. “It’s only one letter different from Byeokgokdan, but it looks really delicious.”

“okay.”

The name was immediately given to Wheat Grak Dan.

Misreading-

“Anyway, do you think it would be a good idea to go nearby first and then infiltrate?”

Sima Hyeon nodded at those words.

“that’s right. That’s the rule, but another way is to say that the Cloud Dragon Symbol Bureau has investigated and go through the main gate. “There are pros and cons to either option.”

Jin Cheon-hee nodded at those words.

I haven’t done many infiltration missions like this.

Even during Princess Seonhee’s time, it was even more difficult because it was more of a bait than an infiltration mission.

On the other hand, it was Sima Xuan who did a lot of this work.

“Rather, how about arriving nearby, investigating and infiltrating, and then entering through the main gate?”

“Let’s do both?”

Sima Hyeon nodded at those words.

“When it comes to money, the more the better. “There is no time limit, so it’s better to do everything you can.”

Sima Hyeon covered his mouth with his sleeve and giggled.

The clothes he wears are those of the Botamun swordsman, but the long cloth he wears over them is quite stylish.

It’s hard to tell whether they came here to work or to play and eat like Hanryang.
