Farming Druid - Chapter 107



Only Noblemtl

107. How did you know?

Bora and Saimdang were surprised by the tree’s words.

The amount of meat eaten by the tree in front of me was enormous.

It felt like I was almost eating half a cow by myself.

The tree looked down at the roasting cow.

After becoming a guardian.

When eating your first meal.

The side dish that my grandmother prepared for me on the table was a meat dish.

At first, I found it disgusting.

But above they wanted meat.

The grandmother, seeing the tree realize these ambivalent feelings, smiled and said:

“It’s because we’re human. If we were to shed the human frame, we would be everywhere and nowhere, but for now, you and I are human, so we need to eat the meat, vegetables, and grains we need. So, if you always feel grateful for the food you eat and realize that life ‘circulates,’ it’s okay. You sustain yourself by consuming the life of the meat/fish/grains/vegetables that enter your body, and you work for them, so it’s better to think of it as compensation for your labor.”

Recalling his grandmother’s words, the tree told the children and Haneum about the time when he went out to eat with his grandmother.

“After you ate like that, you ate all the desserts at the cafe, so the owner smiled brightly and closed the store early.”

Bora, Saimdang, and Haneum were gaping in surprise.

The chat window was the same.

“Look at you – the chat window is going up so much?”

“Ah—that’s right.”

Bora was so absorbed in the tree’s words that she forgot that she was on air.

[Haruharu donates 10,000 won.

“You said you were a Druid from Gangwon Province, but can you really understand all the stories about animals?”

]

In response to the machine voice’s question, the tree took a bite of soybean paste stew and opened its mouth.

“Gangwon-do Druid is like a nickname, so I don’t understand animal stories. And as those who live with animals know, animals are constantly talking to their owners through their actions. If you watch them closely, you will know what they are talking about. While they are eating – do not disturb them. When you finish eating and go to a cafe to talk, please support them then.”

As soon as the tree finished speaking, it looked at Bora and smiled.

When the viewers of the live broadcast saw that smile, their chat stopped for a moment.

A little later.

Bora couldn’t come to her senses as the chat went on at a rapid pace.

└ Wow. It felt like I was under a divine attack.

└ It seems like a holy smile that defeats zombies.

└ You’re too absorbed in the game, the person above.

└ No― That smile is for me aaaa―

Whether the chat window is noisy or not.

The tree was eating the meat while chatting with Haneum and other people.

“I’ll change the grill for you.”

The employee came in and changed the grill, then opened his mouth after seeing Bora and Saimdang.

“Is there a student named Lee Ji-hak at your school?”

“This… is Senior Jihak?”

“Oh, I see. You know it well?”

“What? I heard that a thief broke into your house and you were hospitalized. Right? Im Dang-ah?”

“Yeah. I didn’t hear the details, but I heard that a thief broke in and he was seriously injured while trying to stop it, so an ambulance came and took him away.”

The staff began to open their mouths in response to the students’ words.

“Well, I mean, he said there wasn’t a thief.”

“No?”

“People who came to the agricultural cooperative were making a fuss, saying that animal carcasses and bones had been found in that house.”

It seemed like the employee’s speech would be long.

Ahem— big—

The tree coughs to call attention.

The employee smiled awkwardly and said.

“Oh my – I’m sorry. I’m a cube person. I’ll bring you some more side dishes.”

The staff is leaving.

Bora and Saimdang were frowning.

It was a situation that had already been broadcast.

Even the name, Lee Ji-hak.

“What should I do? If that senior’s mom comes to school to really do some dog shit, it’ll be a big problem… … .”

“Forsythia blossoms?”

When Haneum asked, Bora nodded and said.

“That senior’s mom is quite famous at school. She’s the type of person who would literally go all out and yell at the school if a senior fell and got hurt during class.”

“You don’t have to worry.”

The tree spoke. Bora felt strangely relieved.

“Don’t worry, let’s eat quickly. The meat is delicious.”

Haneum and Namu continued to eat meat.

As soon as the story of Bora and Saimdang’s school seniors came up.

He was pouting.

Since I was a member of the student council, I was a little worried about what kind of conversation would come up when I went to school tomorrow.

* * *

Phew―

“Okay, you ate everything? Then—. Our Bora will take the 100,000 won that was given for the mission?”

Let the tree speak while looking at the chat window.

[Steel Whale donates 1,000 won “Oh my god, how can you eat all that by yourself?”]

“Ah. My grandmother was a big eater too. I heard that I ate a lot when I was young… … I don’t remember very well. However, when I was sick, I ate little, but recently I’ve been able to eat a lot again. Thanks to that, I’ll be able to use my snack money well.”

Let the tree answer.

Bora gave a thumbs up.

The amount of donations earned through communication broadcasts alone exceeded 400,000 won.

When Bora was broadcasting a game, the sponsorship amount was around 200,000 won.

Thanks to this, I was able to attend school without having to pay for the necessary textbooks and tuition.

‘Thank you, sir.’

Bora really thought so.

After buying drinks for Haneum and the children, the tree

I dropped the kids off in front of the house.

And on the way back home.

Haneum looked to the side while driving and asked.

“The story I heard at the restaurant… … You didn’t do it, right?”

The tree chuckled at Haneum’s words.

“You’re quick-witted. It wasn’t me who did it. I just reported it. And the one who half-killed that son was our house troubleshooter, the snake.”

“…What on earth is going on?”

Haneum was curious.

“That guy named Lee Ji-hak kept beating and tormenting the Maltese dog he was raising, and he tormented it to the point of death. So I reported it to the police. But that clever guy denied it.”

“I reported it to the police, but they just showed up and didn’t take any action?”

“Ah―. I was just going to let it go. The Maltese said, “Please save me―” As I was trying to send a snake to help as a guardian when I heard that desperate voice, a thought suddenly occurred to me.”

“What comes to mind?”

“Jo Yu-jeong, daughter of the president of Dong-A Land.”

“Ah. That snake did that too?”

“No― I just had my snake subordinate harass you until you were about to die and then try to get you to turn yourself in. I think the subordinate’s eyesight was a little off.”

“So you killed him?”

“I didn’t mean to kill it, but it looks like the poison sprayed from its teeth as it came out.”

“I heard that they did an autopsy. It was said that he died from poisoning and asphyxiation… .”

“A snake doesn’t have poison. So when I sent it this time, I emphasized several times not to kill it just in case. But it just got tired and half-chopped it.”

“omg-.”

“And when they searched the room, they reported that they found everything from animal bones to animal carcasses that were beginning to decompose.”

“Hmm―. He’s a fucking American.”

“That mother was amazing. She ran a pet supplies store next to the animal hospital in town and denied that her son was like that.”

“That Maltese?”

“He was hospitalized in the animal hospital, so I stopped by to give him some energy to help him recover quickly.”

“So that’s why you ate so much?”

“That too, and I’m currently training.”

“what…?”

“When Grandma went over there, she passed me the circular connection (link) so that I could manage at least the border area… … Thanks to that, I’m having a blast.”

“What is that…? What is that?”

The tree gave a detailed explanation to Haneum’s question.

Now that all the explanations are done.

Haneum was able to park in front of the tree house.

“So Grandma covers the whole of Korea?”

“You say so, but in reality, it covers the entire Earth, right?”

“Is that… possible?”

The tree shrugged its shoulders at Haneum’s question.

“Grandma said she would shoulder half of it. You don’t know. She told me to grow up quickly and then bullied me… … That’s why I can’t miss even a single day of training… … .”

At the word training, Han-eum thought of four weeks of training.

The tree realized what Haneum was thinking.

“Yeah— It’s worse than the chemical, biological, and radiological warfare training you’re thinking of. My head hurts like it’s going to burst. If it’s a brain tumor, the headache is just like a fingernail peeling off.”

“Now you can read people’s minds?”

“No—I can’t read that.”

“Then how do you know? That you are thinking of chemical, biological, and radiological warfare.”

“I saw disgust in your expression.”

“Ah―. It was really disgusting… … Damn.”

The tree lied.

Because I could hear the thoughts of those close to me naturally.

‘I have to be careful… … .’

The two men began to stack the cans of beer they had brought from town into the refrigerator.

Then he took out two cans and held them out to the tree.

“I’m not sick anymore, so how about a can?”

“I’m going to drink it at the hot spring after training.”

“Isn’t it bad for the brain blood vessels?”

“… … .”

The tree glared at its friend.

“Hey! What are you talking about when you made fun of me by drinking it when I was sick?”

Haneum opened the beer in front of the tree and drank it down deliciously, gulping it down.

“Oh, I should stop talking.”

The tree put the persimmon tea it had made before leaving in the refrigerator.

I brought the cats’ water bowls.

Then, the five cat brothers came out of the room like bullets and sat quietly in the living room.

“Kids – My brother is here.”

Whether Haneum speaks or not.

The cats were purring and looking at the tree.

“You guys… … Aren’t you going too far? My brother bought you some snacks called Churu.”

“The kids don’t know the word churu. They know the word jjayo.”

“Why? Because Churu is famous.”

“I taught them that snacks are salty. So they all know that snacks are salty.”

Pour some perilla tea into the cat’s water bowl.

I heard the cats drinking water.

Ongnyongyeong―

Woongnyangaaaang―

Haneum looked up at the tree, wondering what the cats were talking about and drinking.

“What are they saying?”

“Do you know what a dogwood is?”

“Cats on drugs?”

“Oh, I made some perilla tea with it. Perilla is good for gout, so it’s made into alcohol. I tried that alcohol once, you know.”

“Did the cat drink alcohol?”

“No, I accidentally got it on my sole. I licked it.”

Haneum muttered as she watched the cats inhaling the perilla tea.

“You guys enjoy drinking and dancing too?”

Sigh-

The tree looked up at Haneum with a smile and held out a bottle and a bowl.

“Go to the cat house and give this to the cat.”

“This?”

“Oh, listen to the cats purring like crazy and come back healed. You must have been tired from work at the hospital.”

“omg-.”

Haneum received the bottle and large water bowl that the tree offered.

Headed to the cat house.

The night sky was filled with twinkling stars.

Although she didn’t show it, Haneum came down with worries.

ha-

I was upset because I received a complaint this morning from a guardian of a patient who underwent surgery, claiming that it was a medical accident and suing Haneum.

Seniors consoled me by saying, “This too shall pass,” as this kind of thing happens often.

But Haneum found it hard to bear.

I didn’t plan on coming down, but I came down because I thought my heart would hurt less if I was with my friend and Abel.

“He’s quick-witted… … He’s my friend, but he’s really quick-witted. How did he know that you were having a hard time because of the hospital work… … Tsk.”
