Chapter 307 – Chapter 62 (2)
“Hey, it’s still a long way until sunrise, so everyone is warming up.”
The top of the mountain near Beicheongung.
Jincheon, who made a barrier with stones in preparation for a forest fire and lit a large bonfire, opened her mouth to the women who wanted to watch the sunrise.
A few obeyed and warmed themselves by the bonfire, but the rest said it was fine and waited for the sun to rise over the horizon.
“Ahh~ It’s cold~ When the hell does the sun rise? This is quite annoying.”
Im Ha-yeon, who had never seen or enjoyed a sunrise like Jincheon, sat down near the campfire and grumbled.
“That’s why it’s cold on the mountain, so I told you to dress warmly.”
“Heung-heung~ Jinnang-i’ll just hug you.”
When Jincheon said something to her thin clothes, Hayeon Lim came closer to Jincheon.
“Really? Then… Got it!”
“Kyaa~ I got it~”
Her mischief kicked in, and Jincheon opened her arms wide, pulled Lim Hayeon’s body, and hugged her back.
It was literally the same as that of a newlywed couple pouring sesame seeds, so some people with strong jealousy grumbled at the appearance.
“Tch. What are you doing, that. Aren’t you ashamed of your age?”
Hong Seol-rin, who had not been on good terms with Lim Ha-yeon from the beginning, put on an expression that it was physiologically difficult for her to accept that a woman who had nothing strange about her was acting out cutely.
Some of it came out because she didn’t get along well, but her perception is the common sense of common people.
Even though she has rejuvenated her face with martial arts, she is not a witch after all, she is sixty years old.
However, Im Ha-yeon now throws away her age and becomes a young lady.
“In the first place, we didn’t consider age as an obstacle, so we were able to gather like this.”
She answered the monologue of Seol-Lin Hong, a black painting artist who had fled from exhaustion from her older sister’s prompting, who was looking forward to when the sun would rise.
“To be honest, it is an undeniable fact that we are adults who are not worthy of our age, but that does not mean that we are ignorant. We cannot ignore the years of experience that we have not had before.”
Cheon Hye-woon, Seo Yu-ran, and Sun Ga-ryeong are naturally treated as adults, but Lim Ha-yeon wants to be treated as an older sister rather than an adult.
But even so, no one looks down on Lim Ha-yeon.
Her instinctive judgment, which comes from her experience and her age, is a step above Seo Yu-ran’s, so in the absence of Jin-cheon, Im Ha-yeon has the right to make her decision.
Unlike Seo Yu-ran, who operated with a single powerful sword, Lim Ha-yeon, who had to judge her tactical moves on the spot, had different eyes.
When the two fight, Seo Yu-ran often wins, but that’s a problem because Seo Yu-ran is strong, and Lim Ha-yeon has the upper hand in her judgment itself.
That’s why when Jincheon is absent, even Seo Yuran doesn’t have any complaints and moves immediately even if Lim Hayeon gives an order.
In addition, Jincheon and Lim Hayeon both have open-minded tendencies, so they get along very well.
The reason Yehwa Black refuted for Hayeon Lim was because she felt that there was an invisible wall between the two.
Seon Ga-ryeong and Seon Dancer hadn’t been in for a while, but they were mixed in little by little.
However, Hong Seol-rin was unable to completely melt into Jincheon’s party because of the invisible wall she had with Lim Ha-yeon.
“I know. But…”
Hong Seol-lin took the image of Lim Ha-yeon who betrayed her sensitively to the point where she was still angry.
In addition, the two women with strong self-esteem have aggressive tendencies, so they don’t think about losing easily except for problems related to Jincheon.
“We also know what kind of mindset you ran towards your dream and what kind of shocks you received along the way. But as a woman of Jincheon, it is important not only to look at the future, but also to look at the present.”
Yehwa Heuk finished her words and turned her head to see if the sun was rising.
“Huh!? It’s the sun! Jincheon-nim! The sun is rising!”
As the sun slightly lifted her face from beyond the horizon, Black Jin-ye excitedly called out to everyone gathered around her bonfire.
All those gathered around the bonfire moved to see the sunrise.
As time passed, as I witnessed the sun rise slowly, everyone in her eyes closed and began to pray for something.
Praying with prayers at the sunrise of the new year seems to be the same at any time and in any world.
“Suddenly…”
Heuk Jin-ye, who was most looking forward to her, shed tears as if she was happy just to be able to watch the sunrise side by side with her younger brother.
“Why are you crying uncontrollably, unnie?”
“Uh… Uh… I’m sorry… But… I didn’t think a day like this would ever come…”
The Black Sisters embraced each other and were genuinely delighted to see the sunrise together as sisters who loved and cared for each other, not Cheonsalseong or Jamiseong.
A person who suffered from the wounds of the past.
A person who wanted to move towards her own dream.
The one with whom she was able to move on with her new life.
Most of the women of Jincheon let go of the heavy past that held them back and were genuinely grateful that they were able to become women of Jincheon with a light heart.
The appearance was very solemn yet bright, so Jincheon thought it was good to come to see the sunrise.
It was to the point that if they could throw away their past and see the future with a new mind, it would be okay to have a sunrise every year.
“…Jinrang.”
“Huh?”
“Me…”
At that time, Lim Ha-yeon, who was in Jin-cheon’s arms, tried to say something, but
“Yap!”
“Ugh?”
She suddenly pulled Jincheon’s neck down while playing a joke.
“Hmm~ The smell of Jinrang~ After all, if you don’t smell this, you can’t even start the day.”
Lim Ha-yeon, who rubbed Jincheon’s cheeks with her own, finished her own business as if this was her purpose.
However, a few quick-witted people could tell.
The fact that she was deliberately evasive and concealed her true business.
Jincheon, who entered some of them, decided to focus on enjoying her present rather than asking questions.
“Wait for a sec.”
“Huh?”
He took off his clothes and covered Lim Ha-yeon’s body and brought her a bag containing the instruments he had brought before climbing the mountain.
She took out a pipa from her bag and took a seat.
Tirling- Ding- Ding Ding- Ding Ddang-
Jincheon, who had the pipa lean against her to keep it from falling over, plucked the pipa’s strings several times to tune the sound.
“Wow, I never thought I’d be using this type of instrument.”
Even in modern times, I had no ties to musical instruments, but to come to this world and use an instrument like this.
Jincheon laughed and remembered that when he was in modern times, he heard the music of a certain movie arranged with traditional stringed instruments.
At the time, Jincheon thought it suited her quite well, so she started copying the music on the pipa.
Of course, I didn’t imitate it right away, but I’ve been practicing on my own.
Tiriling~ Ttarang~!
The power of Akri 100, which had not been used properly except for the one used to read the whole tone, burst through the pipa.
He plucked the strings of the pipa dazzlingly, instinctively knowing how to pluck the strings to perfectly match the music he was expressing.
“Sister.”
“Uh, huh?”
“What are you doing? There’s music on New Year’s Day. Are you planning to stay still as a Miao?”
The Miao New Year begins and ends with colorful costumes and traditional music and dance.
Coincidentally, the two of them are wearing the traditional clothes of the Miao people, which use a lot of colorful clothes and silver accessories.
Black Yehua brought her older sister and began to dance the Miao dance in front of Jincheon who was playing the pipa.
At first, it was so old that she danced awkwardly and clumsily, but as she recalled her memories in the image of her brother, Hei Jinye’s dance gradually developed into a moderation.
‘Ah… If this is a dream, please don’t wake up…’
Her brother enjoys the New Year’s sunrise with loved ones and family-like people who are not afraid to see him.
If I felt this happiness and woke up in the cave again, I might go crazy and commit suicide.
In this way, the Jincheon party’s New Year’s sunrise has become a memory for everyone to the extent that they would regret it if it had not come.

“Well, then, as I said yesterday, it’s free time from now on. The city is also holding a New Year’s Day festival, so take care of lunch and dinner yourself.”
After coming down from the mountain and having breakfast, Jincheon and his party each started receiving money to use.
The purpose is to enjoy the Lunar New Year celebrations held in the cities surrounding the Northern Palace.
Now that you have trained hard and achieved good results, now is the time to enjoy yourself.
Warriors of this era would try to avoid playing, thinking that playing would distract them, but Jincheon, who came from modern times, knows how much rest is needed for humans, so he decided to focus on simply eating, drinking, and enjoying the day.
The Jincheon group, who had earned a fortune in Guangdong, had no shortage of money, so the amount of money given to each individual was an amount that others could see wide-eyed.
While chatting about what to do and having fun, we waited until the city became completely festive.
It’s not a good feeling to go out early and wait in the cold when it starts.
“Oops…! Oops…!”
At that time, Cheon Hye-woon suddenly made a gagging sound and ran to the bathroom in a hurry, covering his mouth.
“…”
“…”
“…”
Jincheon, who had all gathered and chatted, became so quiet that she could hear her breathing at her strange behavior.
Everyone’s eyes were fixed on the direction Cheon Hye-woon had left, and when she came back, she was surprised by that gaze.
Jincheon was the first to act.
“Did I eat something wrong? No, did I eat too much?”
Jincheon, who always had a relaxed expression with a smile on her face, grabbed Cheon Hyeun’s wrist and began to see her true pulse.
Because her behavior was a typical way of signaling a ‘state of affairs’ that I’ve seen so many times in the future.
“…!”
Seeing her true pulse, Jincheon’s face was tinged with amazement and he touched Cheon Hyeun’s stomach.
“…The sky…That…”
“Are you… Pregnant…?”
Nod…
When Chen Qian told her the result she had found out through her pulse, Chen Huiyun, who had already experienced it once, nodded her head and she agreed with his pulse.
“Uh…”
“Ugh…”
“Eh…”
“Pregnancy!?”
Everyone was startled and she tried to shout something, but the one who screamed the fastest was Lim Ha-yeon, whose face was distorted in shock.
