Chapter 50 – Back Mountain / Meeting the Crazy Bastard. (Edited Upload)
EP 50.
“It won’t work. Let’s go back. “I have no choice but to look further tomorrow.”
When I saw that the sun had almost set, I turned to Zia and said.
Unfortunately, it was impossible to search further when it got dark.
At that time, surprisingly, a broken iron fence came into view behind Jia’s back to her.
“Jia, wait! Look over there!”
We ran towards it at once, and were barely able to fit through the narrow gap and get over the fence.
When we went over the fence, the spruce tree we were looking for was standing right there.
“I found it!”
Jia, covered in snow here and there as she climbed over the fence, cried out under her breath.
At Jia’s shout, I looked around in joy.
There were spruce trees everywhere, not just the one tree in front of me.
Spruce trees were growing thickly above the fence.
Enough to form a forest.
Zia and I walked up to the spruce tree in front of us, the tallest tree in this group of trees.
A body measuring tens of meters.
Even when I looked up, my neck hurt, and I could feel at a glance that I had grown for a really long time.
“…”
The joy of finding a spruce tree was short-lived as the sun completely set and the area ahead became completely dark.
“What should I do?”
Zia asked me.
But I also had no idea what to do with this situation.
The thick branches of the spruce tree hung high in the sky, beyond our height,
Unless you had a large ladder, cutting down those tree branches was a distant task.
Zia and I shuffled between the spruce trees, lightly digging the ground.
It was to find if there were spruce trees hidden in the snow.
“Jia, look carefully to see if any branches have fallen on the floor.”
From then on, Jia and I started wandering between the trees with our heads down, our eyes closed.
After a while, Jia shouted as if she had discovered something.
“Oppa, there’s a fallen tree over there!”
I heard Zia’s words and ran.
This is it!
I quickly took out a portable logging hatchet from my bag.
“Jia, wait!”
I took out my ax and started hitting the thick branches of the spruce tree.
Sigh-!
Sigh-!
A precious, portable, powerful logging hatchet that she had to ask her aunt for help with.
But even with that strong iron blade, the tree branch did not even flinch.
‘OK. Let’s see if you are strong or if my ax is strong.’
After that, I struck the ax down one after another,
It was difficult to make even the slightest scratch on the branches, perhaps because the strength that had endured for so many years had built up in layers.
I felt like I would have to hit it a hundred or even two hundred times to cut down a large branch and make it fit to fit into my bag.
“Huh-huh-huh. Wow, that really sucks. This-! “What a mess!”
Before I knew it, beads of sweat had formed on my forehead.
Zia ran next to me and looked at me, wiping the sweat from my forehead with a handkerchief.
“Shall I help you?”
“No, I’m resting next to you.”
“Ungh.”
**
“Phew..Done..Done..”
After cutting off the last tree branch,
I fell down in the snow, my whole body drenched in sweat pouring down like rain.
“And!” “Thank you so much!”
Although Jia doesn’t know why the tree was cut down, she applauds and cheers.
It was admirable to have such feelings, but in order not to be caught, she looked at Jia and spoke in a quiet voice.
“Jia. Shhh! “You can’t make too much noise.”
“Yes! But oppa, it’s so cold. Let’s go back quickly. “I really can’t see anything now.”
“Yes.”
I split the branches into smaller pieces and stuffed them into the bag along with the hatchet.
An incredibly large 75L military backpack.
The inside was full of tree branches.
You may need more spruce, so it would be a good idea to bring enough.
I may end up making multiple wooden dolls, and if so, I don’t know when I’ll be able to come here again.
‘Just try it’s no big deal!’
I stood up with my backpack on, struggling to take off my gloves that were completely soaked with sweat.
When I stood up, my body stumbled for a moment under the weight of the wood in my backpack.
My eyes widened in surprise, but I quickly regained my balance and was careful not to slip.
“Huh.”
Jia asked me if she should help me after seeing me like that.
“Isn’t it heavy?”
It was heavy, but I didn’t show it. It was impossible to make Jia carry the bag anyway, and even if she had to change it, it would have been more laborious.
“Are you okay. Let’s go down.”
I tried to smile and jumped lightly while holding the bag as if it wasn’t that heavy.
Thump-
The impact made my spine flinch for a moment, but fortunately I didn’t make any facial expression.
And we started going down the mountain.
At that time,
A flashlight flashed in the distance, shining in this direction and shouting.
“There! Who is it?”
“Omg! Uh, what should I do?”
Zia looked at me and said.
What should I do?
I thought about running away right away, but quickly changed my mind.
There was a lot of weight on my back right now, and I didn’t think Jia and I would be able to shake it off if that person came running.
“Are you okay. Just say you’re lost.”
“What if I ask you to open the bag?”
“Wow…”
That’s right. If they see the tree branches in the bag, they will know that we are taking a lot of trees…
I said while clenching my molars.
“Let’s run away!”
We held hands and ran downstairs.
As I ran down the mountain at almost rolling speed, small tree branches fell through the cracks in my backpack that were not completely closed.
After running for a while, we saw the broken iron fence below that we had crawled through.
Just get out of there!
“Jiya! Over there! All you have to do is go in there!”
“At there! These guys! What denomination is this?”
Let’s look back, the man who was far away just now
I don’t know who it was, but the man was coming down at great speed, closing the distance between him.
“Gasp!”
When I looked back, I couldn’t help but be surprised by that scary face.
He was running down the mountain like he was running on flat ground with a very angry face.
It was a very agile and fast movement.
I urged Jia by patting her butt as she was crawling through the iron fence.
“Ji, Jia! Get in quickly! Quickly!”
“Now, wait! “I almost passed!”
Jia bent down and almost passed through the iron fence..
Eventually, I also bent down to pass,
“Stop! Otherwise, you will die!”
A sound came from right behind me.
I quickly ducked down, quickly pulled my backpack over the gap in the fence, put it on my back, and completely escaped the iron fence.
At that time,
Bang!
A black-edged ax getting stuck in an iron fence.
“Omg! Crazy bastard!”
No, I never thought there would be someone who would say that shit just because they climbed a mountain.
“I’m a hiker! “I’m lost!”
I quickly turned around and shouted.
Maybe that person is so big that he can’t easily crawl across the narrow fence, but he was so scared that it felt like he was going to break through the fence at any moment.
I held Zia’s hand and quickly started running down again.
“Stop, you guys! If you guys get caught, I won’t let you go!!”
When I turned around to hear a sound coming from above, I could only open my mouth in shock.
He was climbing the iron fence and jumping from the end.
It almost seemed like it was flying.
“This gnome!”
Tremendous jumping power.
I saw him swinging the ax in one hand and I screamed, covering Jia.
“Ugh! Sorry! Please save me!”
I cried out and fell down.
Kwaaaaak-!
An ax flew down and hit me right next to me as I lay down on top of Zia.
“Huh!”
I looked at the ax next to me and shouted.
“Sal, please save me!”
I hurriedly hugged Jia tightly and answered.
You can never touch Jia!
I wrapped my whole body around Jia and closed her eyes tightly, thinking that I had to protect her somehow.
Suddenly, I felt a hand grabbing the back of my neck.
“Ouch!”
He grabbed me by the back of my neck and pulled me up.
A man with a scary face shouted and pointed in an angry voice.
“Which denomination is this? How dare you come visit this place! “I have to drag you away.”
Is this the mountain ranger the nun told you about?
“Are you a mountain keeper? I..I am! “I belong to the religious shelter under this hill!”
“Give me your ID! Four years!”
“Yes, yes!”
With her trembling hands, Jia began to search for her ID card in her bag her her her.
When I saw that, I quickly took out her ID.
“Here it is!”
“This guy! “If you lie, you won’t get out alive!”
The mountain ranger shouted fearfully and took her her ID card from me as if robbing her.
I responded to the deadly threat by holding Jia’s hand her tightly.
“It’s real! “I am attending the Ilcheon Religious Center under the Yeokcheongyo denomination!”
The mountain ranger frowned and looked at my and Jia’s ID cards closely.
“Umm… “
At that time, the mountain ranger looked surprised when he saw my name.
“Kang..Jian? “I’ve heard it a lot somewhere… “
I asked, looking at the mountain ranger’s thoughtful expression.
“Do you know me?”
“Hmm… Anyway, looking at my ID, I see that I belong to this group. “Give me your bag.”
When the mountain ranger held out her hand, something flashed through my mind.
I thought of actor Kang Cheol-nam, who had often visited me in the past to adopt me.
‘I may have heard a rumor.’
“The person who will be my stepfather is actor Kang Kang-nam. Do you know?”
Just as the mountain guard was about to take the bag away to snatch it away, she suddenly stopped and asked,
“What? “Who?”
