The dazzling growth story of the Cheongaesan family!

Finally, the secret of the captain and the story of the drooling yellow dog, Mujeok, are revealed.

The captain spoke, taking three or four steps ahead.
The captain, who had been walking forward for a while, looked back.
“Brave, you have to take good care of the bunch.
I've grown a lot both physically and mentally, but I'm still young.
Even Smile is sensitive and easily hurt.
When you are giving advice, you must give advice well.
And lightning has a violent nature.
But contrary to his appearance, he has a warm and caring heart.
You know?”
"colon.
"Why are you saying that all of a sudden? What's going on?"
I was very anxious.
“What happened? Nothing happened.”
The captain shook his head.
It's a lie to say that nothing happened.
Something is definitely going on.
I thought maybe it had something to do with the shadow that appeared last night.

“We can do it if we join forces.
Lightning doesn't fight alone, we can fight together.
But no matter how I look at it, it doesn't seem like a wild boar's footprint.
Look carefully.
“The footprints are not clear because they are blown by the wind, but they are different from those of a wild boar.”
Smile looked at the footprints for a while and then said.
“I will not sleep tonight and will watch.
“I will definitely find out who the owner of these footprints is.”
The group spoke forcefully, as if making a pledge.
“Brave, you don’t go out today.
“Your feet will hurt so much that it will be difficult to move.”
Lightning glanced at my feet and said.
After breakfast, Lightning took Miso and Munchie down to the village.
I was about to tell the drooling yellow dog to throw him something to eat.
I thought lightning was going to lose its temper.

We started digging from the side closest to the hole dug by the drooling yellow dog.
My feet hurt so much I couldn't dig the ground.
Lightning and smiles diligently dug the ground.
The drooling yellow dog was right.
The land that was supposed to be sold quickly was not dug up well.
Lightning and smiles continued to dig the ground without a moment's rest until it got dark.
At some point, Rookie was gone.
“I just can’t dig it.
“I feel like my nails are going to fall out.”
Blood was flowing from the lightning claws.
The smile was the same.

"Munchie, why are you only thinking about yourself? Do you know how cold it is outside right now? It's bearable because there are three of us here, cramped together, but it must be freezing outside.
Anyway, you're all good, but the problem is that you only think about yourself.
“You, fix that personality.”
The drooling yellow dog said.
Me, Lightning, and Smile looked at each other.
It was unexpected that a drooling yellow dog could say such things.
“I think the dogs of Cheongaesan Mountain have developed bad habits.
They say things like, "You're young, okay, you're good," and that's how the child ends up like this.
And they don't even know how to think about others.
If you had just stayed under me, you wouldn't have become such a spoiled dog.
“I would have raised him as the leader of the stray dogs.”
“It’s true that I’m spoiled.”
Rookie chimed in with the drooling yellow dog.
“Invincible is bad.
Who am I to be imprisoned here for? It's all your fault, Mujeok. Mujeok tried to help you, and this is how it ended up.
But why are you like that? You seem like a person who doesn't know gratitude."
The crowd roared.

I turned around without waiting for a reply.
I couldn't do anything even if I was called a traitor.
I ran at full speed towards Cheon-gae-san and hoped earnestly.
I really hope I can meet the captain.
Weeeeeeeeeeeing.
Then a strange sound was heard.
'Is that the wind? No, there's no wind at all.'
I looked back slowly.
The sunlight shining through the trees sparkled on the piled snow.
It was at that very moment that I closed my eyes for a moment because it was so bright.
Something brushed past me there.
It was so fast I couldn't see what it was, but it was huge.
It was huge, but it was as fast as the wind and light.
Gulp, the dry saliva went down.
I ran without looking back.
By the time I finally reached Cheongaesan Mountain No. 66 after falling into a snow hole and rolling around, my whole body was soaking wet.
It was so cold I couldn't stand it.
