Chapter 10: A Hearty Village Fest
Im Beomhyeon continued boasting, "Speaking of Hwayang Village, I, Im Beomhyeon, am second only to Second Uncle! Even Second Uncle? Heh! I only let him be number one because he's old, and I was worried about his frail body. If I really fought him... Ouch!"
A piece of firewood flew over and struck Im Beomhyeon's leg with pinpoint accuracy, making him clutch his leg and yelp in pain.
Bok Taejin's mouth twitched.
He had seen it clearly—Second Uncle who is in the middle of cooking, had casually bent down, picked up the firewood from the ground, and tossed it over.
It was clear that while Second Uncle was old, his strength was still formidable!
It seemed like the villagers had a tradition of dining together, and Bok Taejin figured that everyone in the village must be here by now.
He observed the children—they all looked robust, and the older ones appeared even more vigorous.
Although Bok Taejin considered himself an average 14 year old in terms of physique, among this group, he looked malnourished.
Suddenly, a woman with a warm smile approached him.
She bore a resemblance to Seo Sowoo.
The moment she spoke, Bok Taejin's suspicions were confirmed.
She said, "Little brother, where are you staying tonight? Why don't you come to my house and share a bed with Sowoo?"
