Episode 466
It was a little after Yushi when Dan Woo-hyeon and Jang Sam-tae headed toward the port where the boatman was staying.
It was much later than expected because Jang Sam-tae was hungry and was looking for something to eat.
Still, the place was bright.
The fact that there is a red light district nearby may have played a part, but thanks to the lanterns placed here and there, you can tell which ships have gone out and which have not.
People who appeared to be Seongeommun were wandering around nearby.
It was a situation where it seemed as if outgoing and incoming ships were being monitored.
While watching the ship, the people at Seongeommun did not neglect the surrounding vigilance and did not even take their eyes off Dan Woo-hyeon and Jang Sam-tae as they approached the port.
“I feel like a criminal.”
Dan Woo-hyeon sighed and stroked his chin.
There is a sharpness to the gaze coming from all directions.
It felt like they would never let me go if I did something stupid.
It was unpleasant, but if you thought it was a common occurrence in this village, there was no need to show your displeasure and cause friction with them.
“Okay, I’ve come this far, but where should I find it?”
“well?”
Jang Sam-tae made a puzzled expression.
This is not a joke.
I heard the name, but I don’t know who it is. You might be in a situation where you need to ask someone, but you can’t because there’s no one at the port.
I didn’t want to do anything unnecessary because if I asked the people at the inspection gate, I would end up getting suspicious.
“I said there was a house around here, but...”
I turned my head and looked around.
It’s full of boats, but there’s nothing that looks like a house. If there is something near where they are, would it be a ship, a sea gate, or the sea?
Dan Woo-hyeon turned his head with a reluctant expression.
Eventually, his eyes lit up as if he had discovered something.
“It looks like that place.”
“uh?”
I followed Dan Woo-hyeon’s gaze and focused on one place.
A beach quite far from the port. I saw a few trees planted near the sandy beach.
There was a board there that looked uninhabitable, and although it was blurry, someone who looked like a human figure was moving around.
“How can people live in a place like that?! “I said he was a fairly famous boatman, right?”
“Let’s go first.”
There are no clues right now anyway.
In any case, Dan Woo-hyeon seems to have decided to go because he knows that he cannot advance unless he encounters it.
Jang Sam-tae, who had no choice but to follow, was deeply unhappy, but couldn’t find a place that was worth it.
“Those guys... they keep looking at me?”
“Look at you too.”
“Then you don’t want to fight?”
” haha.”
The moment I moved towards the shack, Seongeommun’s eyes followed me. Meaningful facial expressions and actions, and eyes that seem to be on guard.
Those things stuck towards the two people and did not disappear.
People tend to show their emotions through their gaze and facial expressions, but their emotions remained in their eyes and I didn’t feel very good about it.
“Hey you guys... stop for a moment.”
At that time, a person from Seongeommun slowly approached.
His steps were quite heavy as he approached with a wary gaze, and his tone of voice threatened the other person.
If Dan Woo-hyeon or Jang Sam-tae had not been present, it would have worked, but the two accepted the situation calmly without blinking an eye.
“What’s going on?”
“...What are they doing, walking around at this hour?”
Soon I heard a rustling sound and the door opened.
At the same time, a sturdy old man with white hair appeared.
“huh? “You must be...
standing in the guest room?”
“what...?”
Jang Sam-tae and the old man recognized each other.
This is the old man I saw in the guesthouse.
It was hard to forget his tough-looking body and his rugged, manly face, which made it difficult to think of him as an old man who had not even learned martial arts.
“The fact that you are here... did you hear the story?”
The old man immediately realized the situation.
There is no way outsiders would know about this place in the first place. This is the beach at the end of the port, and it is a place that is not often visited unless you are from the village.
Also, there was only one thing that came to mind in terms of visiting the old man.
“It looks like you really want to go to the Jusan Islands...”
“Yes... I know you well.”
The old man lifted his head and looked at Dan Woo-hyeon.
The calm eyes and expression did not reveal any emotions, so even the old man who had been around people for a long time had no idea what he was thinking.
The old man with a grin opened his mouth, as if his interest had piqued without me knowing.
“It’s shabby, but will you come in?”
“I think it’s better than talking outside.”
Dan Woo-hyeon agreed and followed the old man into the narrow shack.
The inside of the place is not that big.
There is only enough space for three or four adult men to lie down.
A place where there doesn’t seem to be a place to eat.
The good news is that it doesn’t smell bad?
“It’s a nice place....”
“Haha, you’re probably the only one who would say that.”
The old man smiled and sat down.
I didn’t have anything to give, but perhaps because it had been a while since I had a guest, I brought some fish wraps that were lying in the sea breeze.
“I don’t have anything like this, but I’m sure my mouth will get bored, so please eat it.”
“Is it like beef jerky?”
“That’s right.”
Jang Sam-tae carefully reached out his hand and put the raw fish into his mouth. It had a spicy taste and a fishy smell, but it was quite tasty as it melted.
He raised his eyes wide and handed the remaining items to Dan Woo-hyeon.
The old man who was watching this opened his mouth.
“They say it’s called Jangryang. “I’ve been sailing here for a long time.”
“It’s too poor for something like that, but...”
“Does it look like that too?”
The old man had a bitter look on his face.
Finally, he put the bamboo stick in his mouth and lit it.
“Whoa.” The white smoke that was being exhaled filled the room. All of the old man’s worries seemed to be contained in the smoke.
“To conclude, you can go to the Jusan Islands. But I can’t go.”
“What do you mean?”
“First of all, I don’t have a stomach. And the Seonmunmun prohibited me from driving a boat.”
“...? “I don’t understand the English sentence?” Dan Woo-hyeon narrowed his eyes.
No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t figure out what the old man was talking about. Did you notice that meaning? The old man sighed again and
smiled bitterly.
“It seems like there is some connection between Seongeommun and the Jusan Islands. Therefore, it is impossible to go there without their eyes.”
