Jinang (2)

 

After driving a wagon and occasionally giving physical and mental education to the bandits, they were able to reach Haju County.

Maybe it's because it's a dangerous area. There were many people who looked at the sudden appearance of an outsider with a wary look.

However, Mu Jin didn't care and approached an old man who was seen nearby and spoke to him. He pulled ten coins out of his sleeve and held them out.

"Senior· Let me ask you something."

"Ahem· If I know, I'll tell you."

"Do you know it's a small hearing?"

"Of course I know!"

The old man, who had an anxious expression on his face even though he had received the money in the name of Xiao Qingmen, spoke brightly.

"Hehehe... Now I can see that they were the guests who were visiting the hearing..."

"Yes· Can you tell me where it is?"

In response to Mu Jin's question, the old man cheerfully told him the location of the small hearing.

When Mu Jin, who had been located by the old man, returned, Mu Gong asked with a puzzled expression.

"Why do you like that?"

"That's because it's one of the few political factions in the region."

"Is there a political faction here?"

"It's almost none, but it's not none. In these outskirts where there are no big sectarian forces, there are one or two hiding places from time to time..."

"To be active as a political party in a place like this... That's amazing..."

"It's great, isn't it? It's not just a place where they work as a literary faction, but they often travel to other areas to bring in orphaned children and raise them."

In the realm of Safa, which was a lawless land for the common people, countless orphans were born every year, and it was like a modern orphanage or orphanage that cared for such children.

And the Jinang that Mujin is looking for· Bai Jiahuan was also an orphan and would be protected there. With his sister·

"Oh! That's why you're here. I'm going to leave those kids with you..."

Thinking of the children and women who had been rescued from Guilin Black City in the carriage, Mu Qing let out an exclamation.

Mu Jin nodded appropriately at Mu Qing's reaction, and then he and his companions headed to the place where the hearing was located.

When Mujin arrived at the entrance of the small-sized manor with a plaque that read "Xiao Qing Gate", he knocked on the door, and after a while, the young Mujin swiped open the door and looked suspiciously at Mu Jin's group.

"It's called Qinghuan, a disciple of Xiao Qingmen, but what's wrong with our sect?"

"There are children we saved by chance, but we didn't have anything to send them, so we were looking around, and we heard about the appeal and came to visit."

Mu Jin replied and stepped aside to show the women and children in the carriage, and the apprentice, who identified himself as Jinghuan, cautiously opened the door of the hearing.

"First of all, come in with the kids. I'll show you around."

The gate of the Xiao Qing Gate was too narrow for the carriage to pass through, so Mu Jin and his party dropped off the children and the women and entered the Xiao Qing Gate together.

After everyone entered, the door was closed, and one by one, the children began to poke their heads out from the halls of the manor.

Even though they were stared at the appearance of an outsider who suddenly came, their expressions were full of curiosity about what was going on.

"These are the children you're taking care of at the hearing."

"Yes· We want to help more children, but it's a pity that our strength is weak."

Qinghuan replied humbly, and Mu Jin shook his head.

Their eyes lit up as they alternated between the children and the light of the spectacle, as if moved by the heartwarming sight they had just seen.

Kyung-hwan and Doran-do were having a conversation as they walked towards the room where Mun-ju was.

"Kolok· Kolok·"

At the faint sound of coughing, I turned my head to see a boy in his mid-to-late teens holding a little girl who looked to be in his early teens.

"Kolok·"

Upon closer inspection, the sound of coughing came from the mouth of a little girl who was being held by the boy.

Mu Jin looked at him carefully, and Qinghuan opened his mouth with a sad expression.

"I was born weak. We're also trying to give them some medicine, but it's a pity that there's no remission."

In response to Kyunghwan's explanation, Mujin asked a question just in case.

"Can you tell me her name?"

"It's called the White Family."

Kyunghwan replied, tilting his head as if to ask why he was asking, and Mujin blew his delight inwardly.

'I found it!'

Doordoor of the Appeal Hearing·

There, Mujin and his party were able to meet the owner of the small hearing.

"Nice to meet you. It's Jin Ki-chul, the doorkeeper of the small hearing here..."

"My name is Kang Hyuk, a special specialist. I happened to hear about the appeal and came here."

"Hahaha· How can such a thing be called a contribution? Are they the ones who brought you here?"

After a brief greeting, Xiao Qingwen looked at the back of Mu Jin and asked.

"That's right..."

"Huh..."

Jin Ki-cheol, who had a bitter expression on his face at Mujin's answer, opened his mouth with a sad tone.

"I want to accept everyone, but it seems that it will be difficult to accept everyone because our hearing is not a very big place."

"How many people can you have?"

"I think it's possible to get to five. Still, those of you who are a little older will be able to find a way to make ends meet, so I'll take care of the five youngest ones in our hearing."

Two children, a man and a woman of about ten years old. Two women in their mid-teens and one in their late teens.

A woman and a man who looked to be in their twenties were in a situation where Mu Jin and the others had to take care of them.

But this was a lot more relaxing, so there was no reason to refuse.

"I'm just grateful for the distribution of the Great Conference."

"Hahaha· I don't think it's a big deal... Are you going to leave now?"

"I've been working hard all the way here, so I'm thinking about taking a break for a few days."

There was also a problem with Chen Nang Bai Jiahuan and his sister, so he couldn't leave right away.

"Would it be okay if I stopped by here for a few days before I left, and saw the children?"

"Hahaha· That's fine. Will you join me now to greet the children?"

"I will..."

When Mujin answered Munju's question with Po Kwon, Jin Ki-chul led Mujin and his group out of Munjujeon.

He summoned thirteen children who lived here with his disciples. Of course, it wasn't just children.

There were a few kids who had been here for years and looked like they were in their mid-to-late teens. The child who came to visit Mujin· Just like Baek Ki-hwan·

When all the children had gathered, Jin Ki-chul introduced them to the children and young women that Mujin had brought with him.

The children and young women who had escaped from the slave market with the help of Mu Jin were awkward at first, but when the children who had been here talked to them and welcomed them, they gradually began to mingle with them.

And the trio of unarmed boats looked at the scene with a happy expression.

"Uki! Ukiki!!"

"Hehehe!"

"Brother! Please do it too!"

"Monkey, me and me!!"

Meanwhile, Mu Yul and Lingling were playing with the kids. Using the ball to throw and catch the children, or to roll around with them.

“··· But why is he hanging out there?"

"I guess it's fun to meet friends my age."

"You look like you're at least six or seven years older, aren't you?"

"Does physical age matter? Mental age doesn't matter..."

Mu Gong asked as if he was embarrassed, and Mu Jin replied with a deep feeling.

"Hmm· That's right..."

"You've got along well with the bandits, haven't you?"

"Ahem· It was just acting ...

When Mu Gong, who had been struck by the blow, turned his head and turned away. Xiao Qingwenzhu, who was watching Mu Yul and Lingling play with the children, asked Mu Jin slightly.

"Huh... Now that I see it, that monkey must be a spirit creature..."

"That's right..."

"You've got to be careful. There will be a lot of people who are looking for it..."

"Well, I'm not a spirit creature who can be easily defeated..."

While chatting with Xiao Qingwen Zhu, Mu Jin kept checking his surroundings.

Then, he found Baek Ga-hwan, who had come out for a moment to say goodbye, returning to the hall with his sister in his arms.

– Follow me quietly·

Mujin sent a telegram to Mu Gong like that, and then slipped out and headed for the hall where the two children entered.

When Mu Jin entered the hall, he saw the figure of a girl with a pale complexion coughing helplessly, and the figure of Bai Jiahuan, who was burning a fire despite the warm weather.

"Oh... I'm sorry· My brother is not feeling well. It's not an epidemic, so you don't have to worry."

These were the words of Baek Ki-hwan, who belatedly discovered Mujin and Mu Gung while lighting the fire.

"It's okay to relax. Oh, we've learned about Qi and Blood Qi, so would you mind if I could try your sister?"

At Mu Jin's question, Bai Jiahuan looked at his sister Bai Galing, and Bai Ga Ling nodded with a weak motion.

Mu Jin and Mu Gong cautiously approached Bai Ga Ling, and Mu Jin put his fingers on the wrist of her left hand.

However, he didn't measure her pulse like the Chinese doctors, but he just slid her inside to check on her internal condition.

"After all..."

Shortly after, Mujin took his finger off his hand.

"Compared to others, the Yin Qi in my body is very strong."

I didn't know exactly what kind of constitution it was.

Mu Jin had studied Qi and Blood Path, but he hadn't studied it as deeply as the Councilor.

But at least it was clear that she had a peculiar constitution, and this unusual constitution was the beginning of the misfortunes that would befall her and Bai Jiahwan.

“··· Yes· Most of the other people who had been through it had said that..."

Bai Jiahuan said in a bitter tone. Many had identified the problem but had not solved it.

I'd heard that they had to take a special medicine full of the Heat Keeper or learn the Ascending Martial Arts of the Heat Keeper, but it was a long way for an ordinary Yang Min to get such an elixir or martial arts.

"But even if you can't cure it right away, there are ways to calm it down for a while."

"What is that!?"

When Bai Jiahuan was surprised by Mu Jin's words, Mu Jin turned his head and looked at Mu Gong, who was watching the situation from the side.

Naturally, the eyes of the Bai family and the Bai family were also directed towards the Infinite Palace.

Turning his head to the side after the three, Mu Gong realized that no one was there, so he pointed his finger at himself.

“··· Me?"

"Yes... You· You just need to send the Heat Keeper as weakly and steadily as possible to make it circulate throughout the body."

"Oh..."

It was only then that Mu Gong realized Mu Jin's intention, and he put his heart on Bai Ga Ling's abdomen.

"Excuse me for a moment..."

The chill from her body was stronger than she expected, so she was a little surprised, so she managed her bet as carefully as she could.

Little by little, his face, which had been pale, began to turn red.

* * *

On the other hand·

When Mujin and Mu Mu were curing the Bai Family...

In the yard, Mu Yul and Lingling were playing with small children, and children in their mid-teens and those who had been rescued by Mu Jin and his group were chatting with each other.

“····”

And for some reason, the blue water dojo that would normally have been able to play with Mu Yul was just standing there with a dark expression.

Qing Xu, who had just silently watched Mu Yul and Lingling play with the children, raised his arms helplessly and looked at his hands.

"Brother· What's in your hand?"

Then· A small child at the gate spoke to the Qingshu dojo.

“··· My hands looked a little dirty, so I was looking at them."

"Heheh... If your hands are dirty, just wash them! I'll tell you where to wash!"

The child's sunny words brought a faint smile to the face of the Qingshui dojo, who looked complicated.

"Ahem· Thank you· But can I tell you what our little Doe's name is?"

"My name is Moon Hyuk! Heheh· And Tosa Brother· You can't do that!"

"You say you can't do that?"

"When asked for your name, it was polite to say your name first!"

The young guy's words were answered with a smile on his face.

"Qingshu · No, it's called Cha Soon Il."

Remembering that he had to hide his identity, the Qingshu dojo hurriedly added a pseudonym.

However, the name Cha Soon-il was not a pseudonym agreed upon with the Mujabae sign.

It was a pseudonym, but it wasn't.
