Living in a Garage With an Alien Car - Living in a Garage With an Alien Car chapter 79

I kept hurrying on my feet.

Now, as the big rocks that I hadn’t seen while climbing up appear, it seems that the rough mountain climbing has begun beyond the gentle slope.

“Ugh… So far, it’s just been warming up.”

That’s how Hwagaejae.. The ridge continued until the rabbit peak.

His face is covered in sweat as if he had just entered a sauna.

But, why is it so refreshing?

Indescribable refreshment and drowsiness coexist.

“Heh heh heh..”

It seems that this is why people visit Mt. Jiri every year and run the course.

The advantage of the Jirisan trail is that there are not only rugged roads, but there are also quite a few gentle roads that are good for walking, so I was able to have some time to think.

12 pm.

After 7 hours of hiking, we arrived at Yeonhacheon Shelter.

Time to have lunch here.

Hunger continues to come despite supplementing sugar with cucumbers and protein chocolate bars prepared in between.

Replenishment in advance can prevent exhaustion and unexpected pain.

I took out the rice balls I made last night.

With the intention of eating a little more variety, I ate two rice balls made with dried anchovies, kimchi, and fried eggs, and ate hot ramen noodles that I boiled in the meantime for dessert.

Rice balls and fever ramen while sitting on the ridge of Jirisan Mountain and watching wild flowers.

It is a different taste and inspiration from hiking wild ginseng.

It must be because I have a definite destination to go to.

In fact, I didn’t say it to my heart, but I felt a bit resentful of Hae-shik, who dropped me off at the parking lot of Hwaeomsa Temple.

I think I’ve seen a lot of slightly easier courses that go up a lot by car, but it’s a difficult trail course..

As I got stronger, my breath came up to the bottom of my chin, but I continued to mumble.

“It was good that you came. It’s good that you came.”

I had to hurry.

To eat the seasoned seagull meat that Hae-sik gave me to grill after watching the sunset at the marketplace shelter.

Seagull meat grilled in Jirisan Mountain.

As a special part of pork, how much does it come out of one pig?

However, he gave me two pounds of this.

“Brother, there are too many. Two geun is over 1 kilo..”

“There is nothing to do once we arrive from the shelter. They say they grilled it slowly while watching the sunset.”

“No, you said you never went near Cheonwangbong Peak or Nogodan, so how do you know so well?”

“You have to go, you know? How much do you have to pick up with your ears? listen to me I get hungry in the mountains, so a pound or two of meat is an instant. I can’t eat sweet crab because I don’t have it.”

Hae-sik hyung-nim didn’t listen to my refusal and stuffed the frozen seagull meat into the bag.

Every time the rugged Jirisan trail and ridge continued, he kept muttering.

“It was good that you came. live seagull. nice to have you come You have to eat seagull meat. Live a seagull.”

Gradually the ridge became steeper and the rugged road began to unfold.

When passing a sharp and large cliff with strange rocks, it seemed that there was a risk of falling rocks, so I quickly passed by, and I just passed by Byok Majoryeong Shelter.

It meant to save time, and I had stamina left.

“wow.”

The sea of clouds I see for the first time in my life.

As the ground got higher and higher, the weather became clearer.

Under the ridge, a sea of clouds lay like a painting.

Clouds so clear that you can walk through them.

I was really lucky and this natural beauty goes far.

It was not measured.

The weather was not so good during the mountain ginseng hike.

It can’t be the weather blessed by the mountains.

I was looking forward to the sunrise at Cheonwangbong Peak tomorrow morning and the sunset at Jangteomok this evening.

It is said that clear sunsets out of 365 days a year are difficult even for 50 days..

Just by seeing the clear sea of clouds now, I felt like I had already been fully rewarded for coming this far.

The sea of clouds at Chotdaebong was also clear.

I was busy taking pictures and videos of myself.

The tiredness disappeared with anticipation and excitement.

Finally, we arrived at the Jangteomok Shelter in Mt. Jirisan, which is said to be the first home under the sky.

It was only 12 hours after the start of the long hike.

12 hours is a long time for me.

“hehehe.”

I was in a hurry because the sunset was starting.

By the time my physical strength and energy were low, I felt like my energy was being recharged by the phone checking my location at the marketplace.

‘Is it because of the mood?’

Between Nogodan and Cheonwangbongsa, there is a market moksanjang called a shelter or mountain hut that you must stop by to go to Cheonwangbong Peak.

No, I don’t know why there are so many climbers who were not visible when they came up.

It must be because the hiking time is exceptionally longer than other mountains and the courses are diverse.

A market moksanjang that can accommodate more than 100 people.

On a weekday today, about 30 to 40 people were assigned a seat by the manager of the cabin, who said it was relatively free, put down their belongings and went out.

Because I didn’t want to miss the sunset.

Thanks to the clear and crisp autumn weather, I see the sunset of my life.

The bright red sun disappearing under the sea of clouds.

Various climbers exclaim and say a word.

He climbed Mt. Jiri 10 times and said it was the first time such weather was like this and the fantastic sunset.

The sun, which dyed the faces of the climbers red and disappeared, was gradually hiding itself, dyeing everything around Mt. Jiri in a mysterious color.

6 o’clock in the evening.

The market mok hut where the darkness is slowly descending.

Outdoor picnic tables and kitchens were busy preparing for dinner.

From noble mtl dot com

After briefly washing my face, I prepared for dinner at a table outside.

Grilled seagull meat eaten in Jirisan.

“hehehe.”

Laughter leaked out and a hum came out.

I set the food street on one side of the chartered table.

It was also in the mountains, so the sun went down and the chill was no joke.

“Wouldn’t the meat you eat at a time like this be awesome?”

Outside, half of the tables were empty.

An elderly couple, five or six friends from a mountaineering club, a father with a young daughter, and several parties were eating simple or heavy grilled meat at an outdoor table.

It’s not that complicated, so I think I can feel my own luck.

At 9:00 p.m., all lights were turned off as well as outdoor information, so it was enough time to eat and clean up in about 3 hours.

The frying pan on the mini burner heated up, and the seasoned seagull meat, which was already melted to eat, was added.

Chi profit.

The deliciously ripening sound spread around.

“Ah, the smell is good, the meat is good.”

It’s a sad evening without alcohol.

Drinking is prohibited here, so I had to soothe my disappointment with a drink, but this is also a blessing.

While taking out the dry side dishes, I was selling my chopsticks when I met the eyes of a young girl sitting across from me.

Little girl looking in my direction while swallowing saliva.

“…”

While grilling the meat, I secretly checked the whereabouts of the man who came with the girl.

‘She looks older, but she’s not a granddaughter, is she?’

Outdated outdoor clothes and worn-out hiking boots.

His skinny face with wrinkles and calluses on the backs of his hands seemed to be earning a living through menial work and labor.

The girl with big eyes, in the third or fourth grade of elementary school, who seemed to be her daughter, was wearing old sneakers and not outdoor clothes.

‘It must have been really hard to come all this way with those sneakers.’

More than anything, what moved my heart was the empty cup ramen bowl placed in front of them.

‘I’m old enough to eat a window… How did a father and daughter come up here together?’

“Hey, let’s go in now. You have to go to bed early to see the sunrise tomorrow.”

“huh. dad.”

‘It’s a father and a daughter.’

“I… Excuse me.”

“yes?”

I spoke to the woman who was about to enter the shelter.

“Did you buy Cup Noodles? Or did you bring it? I really want to eat.”

“You can buy it here.”

I kept talking to my dad who was about to enter.

Is it your first time in Jirisan? It was my first time going to Mt. Jirisan, so it was all pointless (?) talk like, “Can we go up together tomorrow?”

It was when my father, who answered me calmly, was about to leave.

“But, uncle. You’re a chewing gum right? Right?”

“!”

There was a reason why Hayoon was staring at me with her eyes wide open.

“Wow, right. How did you find out?”

“Dad, that’s right. He’s my favorite nertuber who raises chewing gum. amazing.”

“okay? The chewing gum that Ha-yun likes?”

“Yes, where is the chewing gum, Mister? What about mangoes?”

“Shall I show you?”

“yes.”

“I’ll come and show you.”

“and! It’s so cute.”

I began to like Hayoon by showing him the chewing gum videos on my smartphone.

These were behind-the-scenes videos that were not released on You Tube.

When Hayoon smiled and liked it, Dad felt relieved and seemed to let his guard down.

“Heh heh heh, really. It’s amazing. My Ha-yoon likes it so much that I also love it from time to time.”

Even while watching the video, Hayoon glanced at the seagull flesh as it cooked.

“Ah, that’s right. thank you Do you have a seat? I brought seagull meat, but there is a lot of it. Let’s eat together and talk. Ugh, I’m going to burn all the meat.”

He passed the smartphone to Hayoon and lowered the meat into the frying pan.

“Ah yes..”

“Seagull meat? A seagull that smells like this meat? flying bird. A seagull?”

“ha ha ha. no no. meat is meat. Wait… I’ll see if it’s ripe.”

I picked one up and tried it.

It was very tasty, but it didn’t bother me.

“hmm. Ripe. Hayoon, would you like to try it and talk about it? What does it taste like?”

“Mister, do you do mukbangs too?”

“Yeah, but I’m not good at it. I think it would be nice if Hayoon tried it and told me about it.”

“all right.”

I picked up a piece of well-cooked meat and put it in Hayoon’s mouth.

Hayoon’s eyes are round.

How cute and pretty the little mouth is.

“how is it?”

“mister? Is this beef?”

“I don’t know, father. Is this beef?”

“Seagull meat is pork.”

“Wow, but it’s so delicious, Dad.”

“Hmm…yes, the pork is delicious too. Please try it, too, and tell me. The taste of seagull meat eaten in Jirisan.”

“Heh heh heh, is that so…?”

mumble, mumble.

“Hmm… Life is a seagull. The seasoning is well soaked, so I don’t even get sick.”

“Wow, I have to say this. Because of Hayoon today, I think the next seagull meat mukbang will do well. thank you hyung I’ll shoot Hayun a drink as a gift.”

“I wonder if bowl noodles are okay…”

“Because I wanted to eat bowl noodles.”

“ha ha ha.”

We put the drinks and bowl noodles we received from each other on the table.

The meeting with another person, who is no different from my other fan, continued naturally, and the boring night in Jirisan was not boring at all.

Cheonwangbong sunrise

Thanks to Ha Yoon-i and her father Shim Jong-seong, the two pounds of seagull meat were gone in an instant.

Hayun, who said she was eating seagull meat for the first time, brought the meat to her mouth with a smile on her face.

Thank you so much.

It was a place where you could be bored alone.

Because the surrounding scenery disappeared into the darkness, the bleak atmosphere was everything.

To be honest, I’m cautious about sitting at someone else’s table and eating together.

It was a nuisance and a burden to each other, but it was possible because of the image of pure Hayun and me who have now joined the ranks of influencers.

Shim Jong-seong works at a moving center not far from here.

When there is no work, he does not hesitate to do all kinds of chores, from construction work to house repairs to building a house.

He boasts of his stamina, saying that there is nothing he does not do with his body at Gorye here, and that he is still unmoved even at the age of close to his 60th birthday.

“You are really great. Great.”

“Dad, great!”

Shim Ha-yoon gives a thumbs up saying that he is proud of such a father.

The way she shows her face to her daughter, who doesn’t seem to get sick even if she puts it in her eyes, is so beautiful.

It looks like grooming to express love to a lovely animal, and I am so envious.

As if the time to turn off the lights at the mountain hut was approaching, the seats at the outdoor picnic tables were becoming vacant one by one.

“Dad, I am sleepy.”

“Now I’m cold and I need to finish it.”

“Yes, Hayoon must have had a hard time today. I was treated well today, so would you like a cup of coffee for dessert?”

“It’s so good.”

Shim Jong-seong’s face showed regret.

“Then, wait a minute… I’ll put Ha-yoon to bed and then come out.”
