The Party Will Not Fall - Chapter 36



Only Krnovel

The rain stopped just before noon and then came down more heavily.

The rain was heavier than when the rainy season started, making it difficult to set out on the road.

In the end, we decided to stay one night in the village.

Dangbihyeon was the room next to Chae Se-yeon.

“What would you do if you walked around inside? Just watch what comes out.”

“All right.”

The night deepened with heavy rain.

Dang Bi-hyeon took a nap from time to time and paid attention to Chae Se-yeon’s room.

Fortunately, she did not leave the room unconsciously.

For a brief moment in the early morning, only the sound of closed-mouthed sobbing could be heard.

* * *

The Yangtze River is a boundary river that divides the central and southern regions of China.

Although it was the same central plain, from Moorim’s point of view, it was no different from a border.

A natural line of defense that separates the political faction and the sad faction.

That was the Yangtze River.

“I can’t cross today.”

“Can’t you cross?”

“Due to the heavy rain yesterday, the water rose and the boat could easily capsize.”

The young boatman wearing a hat desperately tried to stop Dang Bi-hyeon by waving with both hands.

“Can you see the dark clouds gathering over there? “They say they’re going to pour it on tonight as well, but if that happens, you’ll actually die while trying to cross.”

Dang Feixian stroked his chin.

‘Even though he is young, he is definitely an expert. ‘This is not something you should listen to in vain.’

When he decided to take the boatman’s advice, Chae Se-yeon, who had been listening quietly, looked around.

All the other boatmen were returning to the village except one.

Except one person.

“Does he think differently?”

Chae Se-yeon turned to the only remaining old man.

Dang Bi-hyeon and the young boatman also approached the old man.

The young boatman went out to stop the old man, just as he had done to Dang Bi-hyeon.

“Sunnoya! Are you really going to launch the boat?”

“If not today, we won’t be able to fly throughout the rainy season.”

“Oh my, what do you mean! Even if that’s true, why is the water so chaotic?”

The Yangtze River pointed out by the young boatman was indeed rough.

Out of concern, the young boatman spilled his words before Sunnoya could open his mouth.

“I don’t know if it’s a government election or a Jang River system. “But we can’t do it on a small boat?”

Sunnoya, who was sitting on the boat, got up on her knees.

With one word to silence the young boatman, he began to push the boat.

“This old man has been sailing boats on the Yangtze River since before your father was born.”

What I meant was that you should not meddle with Katabuta even though you have no experience.

In the end, the young boatman slumped his shoulders.

“Ugh, I don’t know why I’m working so hard when I’m not getting any money.”

Still, the young boatman had a good heart.

“Be sure to come back safely!”

Immediately after the young boatman disappeared, the head of the boat began to float.

Sunnoya waved his hand.

“Please get in.”

After briefly saying thank you, Chae Se-yeon was the first to board the boat.

Dang Bi-hyeon asked Sun Noya a question.

“What do you mean by not getting paid?”

“I don’t get paid for the ferry.”

“Why don’t you accept it?”

“I don’t take it because I don’t need it.”

Well, there is no need to know the detailed reason.

Dang Bi-hyeon got on the boat.

“And you can speak comfortably.”

These were the words of Sunnoya, the last person to board the ship.

Chae Se-yeon stared at Sun Noya.

“Is it true that if you don’t cross the Yangtze River today, you won’t be able to cross it throughout the rainy season?”

“Please speak comfortably.”

“It’s true, right?”

Sunnoya nodded.

At the same time, the oars pushed against the ground and the boat completely floated on the water.

“What the kid who tried to dissuade me from saying earlier is partly correct. “During this rainy season, you won’t be able to cross the Yangtze River unless you have a large ship.”

Sigh. Evil─

The boat departed with a gentle roar.

“But not yet.”

Dang Bi-hyeon put down the hanger and sat down.

The backs of Sun Noya’s hands were wrinkled, but the calluses on the palms that held the oars were thick.

“Government ships are so rare that they don’t have much to do, and they are not the type of people who will send you to the Yangtze River in exchange for a boat fare.”

The boat moved steadily forward.

Sunnoya assured.

“As long as I don’t meet Surochae, nothing will happen.”

An hour has passed.

The dark clouds that were supposed to pour rain in the evening just passed over the Yangtze River, making the sky gloomy.

I appreciate your concern, but the young boatman’s prediction was wrong.

Sunnoya’s ship was cruising towards Honam.

Since we couldn’t drop off guests on a steep cliff, the boat moved along the river.

Dang Bi-hyeon glanced at Chae Se-yeon.

“Miss, you can sleep.”

“no.”

Chae Se-yeon had trouble sleeping.

Dang Bi-hyeon solved her fatigue by falling asleep briefly but frequently.

On the other hand, Chae Se-yeon’s only sleeping time was Ban Si-jin, who fell asleep exhausted from crying in the early morning.

It is said that after realizing the existence of sleepwalking, for some reason, he could not sleep.

“Going over to Honam. “I’ll sleep then.”

I understood why.

She was anxious about what would happen if she started to sleepwalk on the boat.

Dang Bi-hyeon moved a little closer to Chae Se-yeon.

“If you feel like you can’t do anything, you can always take a nap.”

“… no. are you okay.”

Chae Se-yeon shook her head.

Sunnoya, who had been quietly driving the boat, spoke up.

“It will take about half an hour to come.”

The ship continued to sail steadily.

One drop, two drops, fell on my skin.

Dang Feixian looked up at the sky.

“It’s going to rain by the time we arrive.”

Then it was a time of silence.

Sunnuya was silent as he rowed, and Dang Feixian was thinking about what to do when he landed in Honam.

Suddenly, Chae Se-yeon spoke to Sun Noya.

“Noya.”

“yes.”

“Is there anyone around you suffering from mental illness?”

Dang Bi-hyeon’s eyes turned to Chae Se-yeon without realizing it.

The swell made it difficult to tell what she was thinking.

slam. slam.

A little bit of river water came into the boat.

“I don’t have one now, but I’m sure there hasn’t been one while I’ve lived this boringly long time.”

“If there is someone who comes to mind, can you tell me their story?”

Sunnoya’s worries did not last long.

“It won’t be difficult.”

Sunnoya, recalling old memories, began stuttering.

“My son was an official. “He worked at the imperial palace.”

‘Imperial palace?’

An unexpected word appeared.

Along with Chae Se-yeon, who was already listening, Dang Bi-hyeon also began to listen to the story.

“I didn’t work for long. “He was accused of being an accomplice in the plot to assassinate the royal family and was punished.”

Even if it was lumped together as a punishment, the true meaning was sufficiently conveyed.

Sunnoya’s son was executed.

“After that, my daughter-in-law developed what could be called a mental illness.”

“… … .”

“I walk around the house every night, but my mind is asleep. “They called that symptom sleepwalking.”

Dang Bi-hyeon could not believe his ears.

‘Sleepwalking?’

It was a coincidence that felt like some sort of inevitability.

Wow.

Chae Se-yeon asked, holding tightly the board she was sitting on.

“Has your daughter-in-law been cured?”

“I do not know. “It’s already been decades since I haven’t seen it.”

“ah… .”

Chae Se-yeon lowered her head in despair.

Sunnoya caught a glimpse of that and opened his mouth.

The story wasn’t over yet.

“When I found out my daughter-in-law was sleepwalking, I knew what was causing it.”

Tuk. Fighting.

Raindrops began to make their presence known, and the destination was close by.

“It’s up to you to be sad for a long time or to shake it off quickly.”

“… … .”

“If you keep looking at the soul that has already left, your heart will rot and become dull.”

After Sunnoya’s words without any further explanation, the ship arrived in Honam.

Dang Bi-hyeon was the first to get off and extend his hand to Chae Se-yeon.

Chae Se-yeon held his hand and slowly disembarked.

I wondered what would happen if their worries about the Yangtze River waterway became a reality, but it seems they had no idea that the boat would sail in this weather.

Sunnoya, who was the last to land, pulled the boat out of the water.

“It looks like you will be living in Honam during the rainy season.”

Sun Noya, who had dragged the boat to a place where it would not drift away, bowed to Dang Bi-hyeon and Chae Se-yeon.

“Then have a safe trip.”

“Hey, Sun Noya.”

Chae Se-yeon approached Sun Noya.

I spoke comfortably throughout the boat ride, but now I couldn’t get the words out of my mouth.

“May I ask your name?”

Sunnoya laughed and shook his head.

“It’s just Sunnoya.”

“Sunnoya…” .”

“There are lives in the world whose names have no meaning. So it’s just Sun Noya.”

After saying those words, Sunnoya turned his back.

He walked along the river and disappeared.

I can’t follow and catch him to find out his name.

Chae Se-yeon and Dang Bi-hyeon began walking toward the south.

“A life without a name… .”

It seemed like Chae Se-yeon didn’t notice.

Dang Bi-hyeon pointed out the blind spots she had missed.

“Sun Noya’s son was killed on suspicion of attempting to assassinate the royal family.”

“huh.”

“Will the attempt to assassinate the royal family end with only the person responsible being punished?”

Chae Se-yeon’s steps noticeably slowed down.

“ah… .”

“The whole family would have died. “Including my daughter-in-law.”

There is no longer any family to call your name.

Moreover, Sunnoya would not have survived originally.

As someone wanted by the imperial family, Chae Se-yeon and Tang Bi-hyeon were in a position to catch Sun Noya.

“Later, when I write a report, the information about Sunnoya will be—”

“Don’t put it in.”

Chae Se-yeon turned her head and gently lifted her veil.

“Did you forget that government affairs are inviolable?”

Although it was not a rule in that sense, the meaning was conveyed.

Dang Bi-hyeon handed over the umbrella.

“I thought you were going to tell me to go catch him right away.”

“no. “Let’s find a guest room.”

Despite Dang Bi-hyeon’s nasty joke, Chae Se-yeon just ignored it.

There was a reason he could tell jokes.

“today… “I don’t think I’m dreaming.”

This was the reason why Chae Se-yeon had a bitter smile showing dimples.

* * *

The Sadyoryun was located in Guangdong, south of Honam.

Honam was actually famous for the location of Sima Sega.

Dang Bi-hyeon, who spent the night at the guesthouse, sat across from Chae Se-yeon and had breakfast.

“First, I have to go talk to a local informant.”

“Let’s leave everything except the necessary things here and go at night.”

“yes.”

Dang Bi-hyeon looked around the inside of the guesthouse.

Whether they knew it or not, the guests’ eyes turned to Chae Se-yeon.

The face under the veil looked curious, but no one approached it because of that.

“Did you sleep well last night?”

“huh.”

Dang Bi-hyeon was able to hear Chae Se-yeon’s laughter for the first time in a while.

“There was no sign of the body moving of its own accord.”

“Fortunately, the.”

“And I don’t know if I dreamed it or not. “I don’t remember.”

Chae Se-yeon’s voice as she said that was peaceful and calm.

It was quite different from his previous emotionless tone.

In response, Dang Bi-hyeon repeated his previous answer.

“Fortunately, the.”

That night.

Two people secretly left the guest house, each carrying a small luggage on their backs.

Chae Se-yeon walked the steps with her bare face exposed.

Now was the time when she was working as Chae Se-yeon, not Shin Soo-ah, the youngest daughter of Shinwoon Sangdan.

“Where should I go?”

“I asked the owner of the inn during the day, and the agreed meeting place is a two-hour walk away.”

“I’ll be there soon.”

A drizzling night.

Dang Bi-hyeon and Chae Se-yeon ran through the forest at high speed.
