Family 1
-Thud! Thud duduk!
“Gyaaaaaaah!”
As I was amazed at the sight of the egg and the torch, something the size of a fist fell down from above my head without warning.
-Boooosh! Booosh!
-puck!
I swing my torch madly and throw one of the guys to the ground, and all I see are long tentacles and a hunched back.
Hunchback!
-Ugh.
I quickly kicked the guy who was kicking the torch and was kicking his legs, then swung the torch and drove the rest of the guys into the hollow.
“Get out of here, you little shits! What the hell is that hunchbacked piece of shit the size of a fist!”
I like all other insects, but I like the humpback butterfly a bit…
First, I thought I should calm my surprised heart and quickly gather all the eggs and go outside.
Those bastards are very cruel and even eat meat.
I didn’t want to stay here and become food for a hunchback the size of a fist.
So I quickly walked towards the egg pile with the torch in front of me.
-Wow, wow.
The hunchbacks retreat as the flame approaches.
The sight of the humpback whales, which appeared to be about twenty or thirty in number, first made me worried.
“Is it okay, Al?”
What worried me was that the civet was a civet, but the civet is a unique animal that lays eggs and guards them until they hatch and become independent.
They even lick the eggs until they hatch to prevent them from becoming moldy.
Since the mother had already died, I was worried that the eggs that had not been cared for for two days might have developed mold and died.
‘If I had known there were eggs, I would have come first···.’
A pile of eggs that came that close.
As we shone the torch, a gruesome sight came into view.
I thought they were a bright yellow color, but most of the eggs had been eaten by the baby magpies.
And the eggs near the bottom were covered in white, cotton-candy-like mold.
“Damn it. You little hunchbacked bastards!”
The mold was not the work of the humpbacks, but they scolded the humpback chicks and quickly rushed to the eggs, stirring the egg mass with an unlit torch.
-Urgh.
‘Please, just one of you stay alive.’
Sticky mucus and oozing liquids clung to the tip of the torch, dripping out a slimy broth.
It was when I was stirring the sticky eggs from above.
Three brightly colored eggs appear from under an egg with the teeth marks of a humpback whale.
I quickly put my hand in and picked up three eggs.
Something slimy made my hands sticky, but I was encouraged by the fact that I had found the eggs of a giant civet, so I didn’t feel particularly disgusted by it.
“I found the car!”
Of the fifty or so eggs, only three were unscathed and still had a bright yellow color.
It appears to be unharmed as it is in the center of the egg cluster, among other eggs.
Most of the egg clusters were damaged or bruised by the fist-sized humpbacks, but where were the three that were salvaged?
“Damn. Are you glad you saved at least three? But this isn’t the time for that. I should hurry up and get them and clean them first!”
He quickly wiped the eggs with his sleeve, put them in a jar, and quickly crawled out of the hole.
And then I ran like crazy towards the lung duct.
It was because it would have been a problem if even the eggs that were still there had rotted, so I thought I had to quickly go back and wipe the eggs with a boiled and sterilized cloth.
“Our snails, just wait a moment. I’ll give you a bath soon.”
The egg seemed slightly oval-shaped, but I thought it was because it was a new species and hurried my steps.
***
“What, what should I do with this···.”
The next morning I found myself in a slightly awkward, if not very awkward, situation.
-Tsrrrr.
In order to maintain humidity, I cleaned the eggs of the civet I found yesterday and placed them in a jar lined with a slightly wet cotton cloth, and placed them by my bedside. When I woke up in the morning, they had all hatched.
I didn’t know it would hatch this quickly.
The reason I never expected the foxes to hatch was because of their unique ecology.
The hatching of the fox is a bit unusual. Rather than the eggs breaking and the larvae emerging, the eggs themselves transform into larvae.
The transformation of yellow eggs into larvae is the fable of the fox.
In that case, all three eggs have become larvae.
Since martens are a homomorphic subclass, the mother and her babies are born looking exactly the same, only differing in size, so three cute yellow martens were clinging to my body.
Yeah, what made me uncomfortable was not that they hatched, but rather that they came out of the jar and wrapped themselves around my body.
The raccoons stay attached to their mother’s body until they shed their second molt, and these guys probably mistook me for their mother.
These guys stick so tightly that they won’t come off when you try to take them off.
I tried to force it off, but it ran behind my back and I couldn’t get it off.
It doesn’t eat anything until it sheds its second time, so you don’t have to provide it with food, but isn’t it awkward just to be attached to it?
It feels a bit uncomfortable to have three guys the size of old sausages stuck to me.
Then a thought occurred to me.
“Oh, right! If you go into the water, you’ll fall off on your own!”
After a long time, I quickly ran to the water’s edge holding a jar to take a bath.

“Is there a small business?”
Dangcheolsan, who arrived at the abandoned building, shouted toward the inside of the abandoned building where Sohyeop was staying.
But the pavilion remains silent without an answer.
“Small business?”
He made noises several more times inward, but Sohyeop did not respond.
Dangcheolsan pondered for a long time at the entrance to the pavilion.
‘Did you leave the room? Or maybe you caught a cold after the rain that fell for several days?’
The reason why Dangcheolsan appeared in this abandoned duct after a few days.
Dangcheolsan, who arrived at the port of Haenam Island yesterday after running through the rain, asked his father, Mandokshin-gun, for help.
“Father, please depart for Sacheon first with the uninjured warriors.”
“Huh? What do you mean?”
Mandokshin-gun asks with a look of incomprehension when told to leave first.
Dangcheolsan answered his question with a smile.
“If we take the inner chamber like this, Hwa-eun will be able to save her life. Since I am wounded and my pace will be slow if I move with them, I will move with the wounded warriors.
“Father, lead the way with all your might and hurry on your way.”
“Are you saying we should split into two groups? Even so, wouldn’t it be better to go on a boat and arrive on land to split up?”
Even if they split into two groups as their father had said, it would be better to go ashore and divide them, but Dang Cheol-san had other ideas.
“Isn’t there anything left to do here?”
“What to do?”
When Dangcheolsan asked if there was anything left to do, his father tilted his head, and Dangcheolsan smiled again and answered.
“Won-gak-hyeol (怨刻血) carves blood, Eun-gak-seok (恩刻石) carves stone.”
The words of the saints: engrave enemies in blood and kindness in rock.
Mandokshin-gun responded with a surprised expression on his face at Dangcheolsan’s answer.
“Ah! I had completely forgotten how much of a favor I had received from you, thinking that you could save my beloved. Yes, that’s right! If it weren’t for you, I would have made a big mistake.”
“Yes, Father. Even though he is a young thief, he has received such great favors. How could our Sacheon Dangga just pass him by?”
Yes, I couldn’t just pass it up since I owed a great favor to the young Sohyeop.
If I just let this go, having received such great help in saving my daughter’s life, what will the world think of Sacheon Dangga?
In response to Dangcheolsan’s question, Mandokshin-gun nodded his head and said.
“It would be hard for a young man like me to live alone in the mountains of Haenam Island, catching snakes and eating them. So, let’s welcome him as a guest in our family so that he doesn’t have to worry about being homeless. If he wants anything, it would be right to grant him that.”
“Yes, I think so too.”
For that reason, he let the injured warriors of the family rest at an inn near the port and came alone to greet Sohyeop, but Sohyeop was nowhere to be seen.
Dangcheolsan thought about it for a while and then carefully opened the door to the pavilion.
That was because I was wondering if it might be seriously ill from the rain that had fallen for several days.
“So-hyeop, I’ll go in.”
As I stepped into the hall, a strangely shaped interior appeared.
Numerous medicine cabinets lined the walls, and jars of all kinds filled the hall.
‘Are you a medical practitioner?’
The first thought that came to mind when I saw the medicine cabinet and jar was whether Sohyeop had learned the art of medicine.
But, as the door was not visible, I was about to close the door again, thinking it would be rude to enter an empty space without permission.
-Square, square.
-Tsk, tsk. Tsk.
-Tsrrrrrr.
Suddenly strange sounds are heard from inside the jar and the pot.
A strange sound stopped Dangcheolsan from closing the door and leaving.
A sound that feels somehow familiar.
Dangcheolsan was somehow drawn to a familiar sound, and, forgetting that he was rude, he walked into the young Sohyeop’s quarters and opened the lid of a jar as if he was possessed.
‘What on earth is there?’
Then, what appeared inside the jar was a large black spider.
A black spider sat quietly in the jar.
“This, this is!”
Dangcheolsan opened his eyes wide in surprise.
And then he checked the other jars and pots with an incredulous expression.
Every time you open a jar, lizards, spiders, snakes, and crickets appear.
Looking at the silt left in the jar with the stone or support, it seems that the silt is raised as food for other poisonous insects or poisonous creatures.
Looking at the shells of the pillars and stone slabs that were in one of the weak points, it was clear that the pillars and stone slabs had been grown for quite some time.
Moreover, some of the landowners were brooding eggs, and near the hearth, which looked somehow warm, there were stones of eggs buried in the sand.
An unbelievably amazing sight.
Dangcheolsan shuddered at the sight inside this pavilion.
That would be the case, because even Tang, who was known to be skilled in poisons and toxins, could not have imagined that poison would harm a child like this.
No, they did raise them, but the poison breeding of the Tang family was limited to managing the poison until it was extracted, not collecting eggs and increasing the number.
‘I thought I saved my daughter’s life by a small coincidence, but was the real coincidence actually a small threat!?’
Dangcheolsan put the jars back where they were and came out of the hall.
And I sat on the stone steps outside the pavilion and calmed my surprised heart.
The secret to growing the poison that small groups possess.
It was because it seemed that if only he had that ability, he could elevate the Tang family’s unique skills to an even higher level.
It was while I was organizing the questions I would ask when Sohyeop returned from outside the palace.
“Huh!? Sir?”
Sohyeop, who had just washed his body and was dripping water from his head, was entering the lung duct with a welcoming voice.
“Oh! Sohyeop!”
When Dangcheolsan got up from his seat with a happy heart and quickly approached Sohyeop.
‘What is this!?’
A sudden feeling of murder.
-Wow!
He raised one hand to block the fierce energy that suddenly flew towards him, but Dangcheolsan was pushed back and landed in front of Sohyeop’s pavilion.
“Keuhp! Knuckle! Knuckle!”
A lot of blood flowing out of the mouth.
It was by no means a light injury.
A master similar to his father.
It was clear that the impact of blocking with only one hand was greater than the fact that he should have blocked it with both hands.
“Oh, sir! Ugh!”
And then, along with Sohyeop’s shouts, the eerie voice of the old man holding Sohyeop’s scruff of the neck began to be heard.
“I heard that the men of the Tang family had entered Haenam Island, so I came to check, but to my surprise, the son of Mandokshin-gun was injured and alone.
“I have never forgotten the face of you and your father that I saw from afar in the past ten years! Today, I will send your head as a gift to your father, Mandokshin-gun! Hahahaha!”
An ugly appearance with the left side of his face melted away and his hands stained blood red.
There was a person who vaguely came to mind, but he was already dead.
Dangcheolsan raised his body and asked again.
“Coolook! Who on earth is the senior to be persecuting the young Sohyeop and me?”
Then the old man laughed and pointed at his own face with his finger.
“Hahahaha. Can’t you tell by looking at this face and the red circle? I am the Blood-Handed Rakshasa Tak Yun-yang who caused this to happen to your father!”
As expected, it’s the bloody and merciless Takunyang.
A dozen years ago, he was a great demon leader active in the Guizhou and Guangxi regions. He was caught by his father, Mandu Xinjun, in Qinzhou, was hit on the head with a poison spear, and fell off a coastal cliff. It seems that he survived and came to Hainan Island to live in hiding.
He said that at the time, he was at a similar level to me, but the internal energy I feel now is terrifying.
Dangcheolsan got up and asked for help, as it seemed that he would not be able to see the next morning alive again.
“That thief is not a martial artist and has nothing to do with us, so would you let him go? Your grudge is related to our party. If you let that thief go, I will willingly give up my head.”
I tried to repay the favor, but in a situation where I ended up repaying the favor with enmity, I tried to save the person by doing something small.
But Hyulsunacha laughed wickedly and answered.
“I will slaughter anyone who even touches my collar or the collar of my clothes! In Buddhism, doesn’t it say that even if you just touch the collar of someone’s clothes, you must have had three thousand previous connections? Hahaha!”
‘It looks like that big shot has no intention of letting the young Sohyeop go!’
At Hyeolsu Naechal’s answer, Dangcheolsan despaired, and Hyeolsu Naechal slowly tightened his grip on the young Sohyeop’s nape.
“Kkaaa! Sa, save me···.”
-Tsrrrrrr!
With a strange sound, something yellow emerged from Sohyeop’s nape and both sleeves and rushed at Hyeolsu Nacha, biting his nape and both wrists.
“Ugh!”
Bloodshot, dark skin that turns black in an instant.
The new form of the blood-stained Nachal slowly collapsed downwards with eyes filled with despair.
And the young Sohyeop asked back with a very embarrassed face.
“Uh… This guy is a bad guy, right? Oh, he looks like he’s dead.”
In Dangcheolsan’s mind, the two characters ‘sikgaek’ (食客) slowly began to change into the two characters ‘shikgu’ (食口).
