Farming Druid - Chapter 108
Only Noblemtl
108. No, not that.
After Haneum went towards the house.
The tree recalled the ‘Voice of the Heart’ by Haneum that it had heard on its way home.
[I’m going crazy because I feel like I’ve been falsely accused of something I didn’t do. I was definitely done with everything that day… … But… … Ughhhhhh― I’m going crazy. Dude. I want to give up everything. Phew―]
Haneum was in great pain.
Haneum was a person who didn’t show it at all.
On your birthday.
My mother passed away and my younger brother was lying in the hospital.
On top of that, taking care of your younger sibling in place of your father who remarried his new stepmother, and working as a doctor must be difficult.
I heard that he was even falsely accused.
The tree began to get angry.
He was a kind friend who helped me when I was sick.
Phew―
It was very heartbreaking to see my friend struggling after receiving the lawsuit.
This time, he wanted to help his friend.
It was a tree that wanted to repay the help it had received from its friends.
‘If I could link all of Seoul, it would be easy to find out… … .’
Kkaaaakang―
Abel’s piercing scream was heard.
‘What, what is it?’
Ta-da-dak
The startled tree jumped towards where Abel’s scream had erupted.
Gasp gasp―
There was a shadow following the tree I was running to.
“Is this Abel’s voice?”
“I don’t know—run. Where the hell did this guy go?”
The two headed towards where the scream was heard.
Knock knock- keow- kew- kew- (Tongue, hyung- it hurts. My foot- my foot-)
The tree’s breath caught in its throat as it saw the huge mass lying on the ground, covered in blood.
Abel’s front and hind feet were firmly caught in the trap.
“Ah, Abel… … .”
“Hey―. Hanamu― Hold on to that tree over there.”
When I looked at the place Haneum was pointing to, I saw a rope tied tightly around my feet.
“Huh? Oh, oh— yeah.”
The tree came to its senses at Haneum’s call.
“This―, I think I need to cut it off with an extension.”
“I’ll be back shortly.”
At Haneum’s words, I ran towards the house without thinking.
After entering Grandma’s magic storehouse.
I packed a bag and ran back to where Haneum was.
Kwaaaaang―
Haneum was watching Abel’s feet until the tree arrived.
“Even if it hurts, bear with it for a little longer. If you move any more, you’ll be in big trouble. Okay? I’ll hang up and go straight home to treat you.”
Was it because of Haneum’s voice?
Abel licked Haneum’s cheek.
licking-
After hearing the sound of running.
A tree arrived, as if it was throwing a bag.
Phew— Phew—
He opened the bag and immediately cut the rope that was wrapped around Abel’s foot with a pair of pliers-like cutters.
Abel groaned loudly.
“How did it end up like this?”
Abel sniffed at the tree’s calm question.
Woof woof— keurooooo woof woof—(I couldn’t see my feet while following them because I smelled someone.)
Abel was giving the cat some tea while Han-eum was giving it to the cat.
He said he smelled something suspicious.
The mountains around here were private property, as they were connected to the tree house.
While chasing an intruder who entered the property.
Abel’s foot was caught in a driftwood that had been washed up by the rain.
Taak-
The last wire breaks.
Abel got up.
The fur on his feet and torso was covered in blood.
“Abel—. Carry on.”
Let’s put our backs on the tree.
Abel leaned against the back of the tree.
“Isn’t it heavy?”
“It’s okay—this guy’s got a lot of hair.”
Haneum, who was following the tree that was walking briskly home carrying Abel, quickly looked back.
‘It’s strange… … .’
Haneum felt someone’s gaze upon them.
“Come quickly.”
“Uh— I’m going.”
* * *
Abel came home and sat in the yard to receive Haneum’s treatment.
The five cat brothers were restless over Abel’s injury.
“Brother Abel – Mani Ahuong?”
“Brother―. Are you okay?”
Abel seems okay with the cats’ questions.
Her dark pink tongue was sticking out.
After looking at Abel with worried eyes.
“What do you think?”
“I’ve already stopped the bleeding, but I’ll have to take him to the animal hospital tomorrow.”
“Animal hospital?”
“Oh— didn’t you say it was in town?”
“Isn’t that okay on your part?”
“Look here, buddy. I’m a doctor and I need a veterinarian to treat this guy.”
“Ahhh―. Is that so? Then there’s nothing I can do.”
The tree opened its energy slightly, gathered its energy with its hand, and touched Abel’s foot.
Haneum saw a faint green aura gathering around Abel’s injured foot.
He grumbled, looking at the tree as if he was speechless.
“Are you a healer?”
“It only boosts the resilience of animals and plants.”
Haneum thought to herself at the tree’s words.
‘Humans are animals too? Are they friends?’
The tree that had been giving green energy to my feet for a long time has now lost its energy.
I looked at Abel.
“How is it?”
Keuheuungreung- Wong Wong- (The pain is almost gone. Thank you, hyungs.)
The tree smiled faintly at Abel’s answer.
Haneum gently loosened the bandage wrapped around Abel’s foot.
I was winding it up again.
licking-
Abel licked Haneum’s face.
“Hey— don’t make a mess of saliva.”
The tree creaked at Haneum’s words.
“Thank you, Abel.”
“Huh? Oh. Okay.”
Not even ten minutes had passed.
Abel walked around as usual.
“Abel – Be careful when you walk.”
Woah— Wong Wong Wong— (Hyung— There are a lot of Olmunas and traps that have floated down in the rain.)
Phew―
The tree nodded at Abel’s words and looked up at Haneum.
“I’ll have to contact the wildlife protection center tomorrow because there were a lot of traps and slugs that floated in the rain.”
“That’s right. This isn’t like killing the kids who got caught in the trap.”
“Okay… Let’s wash up first.”
“Uh―. I’ll wash first.”
“Okay.”
The tree gave way to Haneum’s expression.
Han-eum took out two cans of beer from the refrigerator and headed towards the hot springs with plodding steps.
The tree’s eyes narrowed as it watched his back.
‘You’re having a hard time, but you don’t show it… … .’
Swish-
After washing your body.
Haneum went into the hot spring and sat down.
When I pushed the water away with my hand, it overflowed out of the tub.
And then, hot water was being filled again.
‘That’s great. It’s amazing how I can’t think of anything at this moment… ‘
Click – Push –
When I opened the can of beer, foam came out.
Haneum, who had been drinking from the foam, drank the beer without even taking a breath.
Phew―
‘Shit, life is really like a pine nut… ‘
I didn’t show it to my friends, but I was very emotional.
Phew— Phew—
Haneum looked up at the sky while washing her face with hot spring water.
Feelings of frustration, resentment, disappointment, and anger began to surge through me.
doctor.
Some people enter medical school and get a medical license because they can make a lot of money.
Haneum put money on the back burner and only cared about the patients.
Her senior told her to cheer up because this too shall pass, but this was something Haneum had never experienced before.
‘I’ll get a summons soon, right?’
Han-eum shrugged her shoulders as she recalled what other doctors had said about hearing all sorts of insulting language when being investigated.
Choaaaak― Chook―
The tree that had washed its body came into the bath wearing a towel.
The tree that had been quietly watching Haneum’s expression opened its mouth.
“What… … um… … should I guess what you’re thinking?”
Haneum ended up laughing at the tree’s words.
“What is it?”
“Expression is science.”
“Facial expressions are science?”
“Oh. My friend, Dr. Joo Han-eum, is really distressed by the death of a patient. But he’s worried because he doesn’t know if the patient died because of him or for some other reason. Let’s see… … and on top of that.”
[Is this kid a fortune teller? He awakened as a guardian and now he can tell fortunes?]
The tree, having read Haneum’s thoughts, smiled and said.
“I’m not a fortune teller, but I can see it in your expression. And one thing for sure is that you weren’t one of Dr. Joo Han-eum’s patients.”
[You fucking idiot―. This is creepy… How do you know what I’m thinking? Is it really showing in your expression?]
Haneum wiped her face.
“Am I right? I tried to say what your expression said.”
Han-eum’s face finally softened at the tree’s small threat, “It would be better for your health if you were honest.”
“Uh-. He’s my senior’s patient. My senior handed over the final treatment to me and went to another patient’s operating room. It’s not a table death, so I guess that’s a relief.”
Haneum calmly explained what happened.
“So, even though you meticulously checked the last suture and everything you used in the surgery, the patient died that day?”
“Ah— a single contaminated thin gauze in the stomach caused inflammation and death from sepsis.”
“What did that senior say?”
“He says he didn’t do it. He says it’s my fault because I was the one who took care of the final processing… … Hahahaha― I really want to quit.”
“… … .”
Click—
Han-eum opened another can of beer and gulped it down.
Step by step step by step―
Abel’s footsteps were heard.
When Namu and Haneum turned their heads, they saw the huge Abel standing there.
“what’s the matter?”
When the tree asked.
Abel looked towards the mountains and barked softly.
WHACK- WHACK- (Someone is moving on the mountain side.)
Woof woof woof (It looks like it came from the village behind the mountain.)
“okay?”
Haneum was curious as she watched the tree and Abel talking.
“What are you saying?”
“Huh? Thanks for treating my feet.”
“Did I do it? You did it all in the end.”
Haneum was looking up at the sky again and sipping his remaining beer.
The tree called Geo.
‘Geo – Check if anyone comes in this area and monitor their every move.’
-All right.
If it was ‘Geo’, he could control the entire environment around him, so he could tell who was coming in.
‘Because wherever there are grass, trees, bugs, animals, and everything that belongs to nature, they become Geo’s eyes and mine.’
Choaaaak―
The Korean sound is a little bit rough.
I left a message saying that I would go in first and headed to the main house.
The tree, with its eyes closed in the bath, attempted to conjure up a fairy tale with Geo.
Since I was only checking the area around the back mountain, I didn’t feel that burdened.
Shaaaaa―
A cool breeze swept across the wet foreheads of the trees.
‘Huh? What’s that guy?’
The tree found Inyoung looking through a telescope toward the house from the back mountain.
The information that came into the tree’s head was that he would put down the telescope and climb up the mountain again.
‘Who the hell is it? Why is it watching my house?’
The tree was lost in thought, not even noticing that the beer he had brought was becoming lukewarm.
* * *
The next day.
At dawn, a single scream erupted from the field.
“Hey—why do I have to do this?”
“Since you’re here, I think it would be better if we did it together rather than doing it alone. Hurry up, buddy. You should pick it up at [SeeYou] tonight and work hard from now on.”
Haneum soon gave up on the tree’s words.
If you say something like that, I know you’re the kind of guy who’ll catch you even if you run away and make you work.
“Wow, sir—there were this many?”
“Oh, that’s because there are so many different types of salad in there.”
“No matter what, from here to there… how do I pull it all out?”
“Look at yourself. Why can’t you do what cats do?”
“… … .”
Haneum opened her mouth.
Next to them, there were cats swinging small cotton bats and carefully cutting off each leaf with their front claws.
“What are these guys?”
“A cat that works in the fields.”
“No, not that. How does a cat stand on two legs?”
