Meanwhile, Bipa spent several minutes just getting a proper grip on the knife. He was so nervous he kept moistening his lips with his tongue. Even Muyun, sitting with his back to him, could sense the tension. “Master. You can just cut it however.” “What if I accidentally slit your throat?” “If you hold it like this, it’ll be the back of the blade.” Muyun made a gesture in the air of holding a knife upside down. He was right. To cut the hair, one had to put the knife inside the…-

Having finished their meal, Bipa and Muyun walked in the direction the madman had gone. Before long, they were able to find him on the outskirts of the village. Two men and a woman were holding onto the madman, but he was so strong that even with three of them, they were being pushed back. Bipa and Muyun watched the scene from a short distance away. Bipa's eyes glittered with a different kind of meaning. He had noticed that one of the men holding the madman had a piece of untanned, raw leather…-

RPPL C21
The first village they had stopped at was a beautiful place with a tranquil charm that would have blended well with the scenery if not for the fog, but this place was not. The path leading in was overgrown with trees. Perhaps because of that, even without fog, a bleak air lingered, and the atmosphere was also menacing. There was no sound of wailing, yet it felt as if a sobbing sound could be heard every time the wind blew. When Bipa glanced back to check, Muyun’s expression, even when faced with…-

Bipa had tried to wash Muyun, but was kicked out and was now in the yard. His still-damp hair hung loose and long, as if he didn't feel the cold at all, as he strolled through the rear garden. He planned to leave quickly. While the others might not, Ahn Gyeomho would surely try to find out what had happened. They had drawn more attention than expected, so they couldn’t stay in this village any longer. He hated getting into troublesome situations, and he hated being the center of attention even…-

Belatedly, the government slaves began to put out the fire in the storehouse. Bipa and Muyun sat on the rubble of the collapsed inner quarters and watched. “Why aren’t those people questioning us?” Muyun asked. Bipa, who had been staring blankly with his chin in his hand, answered. “Curiosity is a luxury you can only afford when you have the time. When the immediate problem is too big, it’s bound to blind you. After they clear the storehouse, they’ll wonder how to rebuild this…-

“Wh-what is this!” In the meantime, the government office slaves appeared one by one, screaming. Each held a sickle, a rake, or a pickaxe in their hands. They appeared with great vigor, but it was short-lived. As soon as the Goeigong raised its head from the wooden floor, they were startled by its enormous size and began to back away. The Goeigong was not a creature that originally held a grudge, nor was it a Dokkaebi; it was merely a monster. Yet, the fact that ordinary…-

Night fell. The moon rose. It was a new moon. Moreover, the fog was still thick. Muyun’s vision wasn’t dimmed just because one of his eyes was covered. However, Bipa, perhaps not fully awake, yawned and held Muyun’s hand as they walked slowly. They had just secretly slipped out of the house. “Which way should we go?” “We can check with the wound left on your neck.” At Bipa’s words, Muyun touched the nape of his neck. Sure enough, the skin was raised in a welt. Touching the…-

“I see. You must be deeply grieved.” Bipa offered his condolences slowly. As if spurred by his words, the lamentations continued. “He is a good child. He has never done anything to earn anyone’s resentment. How could such a tragedy occur? And my child is not the first. As you must have heard on your way here, half the village is filled with the sounds of wailing. It’s not just the children who are disappearing. An elderly mother, a wife, a husband, it doesn’t discriminate, hiccup.…-

After three and a half days, they arrived at a tranquil village encircled by a meandering river. By the time Bipa and Muyun set foot at the village entrance, the sun should have been well up, but the sky was so overcast that it felt like dawn. A misty rain was drizzling down. Muyun's eyes traced the mountain range that unfolded like a folding screen behind the village. When it rained, you could see the mist surging up from the ridges. Watching the smoke-like mist flutter up to the sky on the wind, he…-

Bipa didn't answer. Unaware that Muyun was hiding and listening, he simply avoided the village chief's gaze. The chief's eyes, much like his bustling footsteps, were also hesitant. He looked at Bipa, then at Bipa's hands. "And besides, you too.... I remember when you first appeared in the village. How..." The chief, his hair frosted with white, shivered slightly as he said this. Bipa's appearance had been eye-catching at first, but now that it hadn't changed a bit from back then, it had become…-
