Farming Druid - Chapter 109



Only Noblemtl

109. Is today a pearl-digging day?

Haneum stared at the cat standing on two legs for a long time.

‘The Puss in Boots motif must be real cats… They walk and move so naturally.’

I saw cats clawing off each kale leaf.

“It seems better than humans, huh?”

The tree nodded at Haneum’s words.

“Uh―, I think they’re evolving these days. First. Hurry up―. Let’s do this and eat. I’m hungry.”

“Huh? Huh―”

At the tree’s urging, Haneum moved her body without thinking.

Phew―

After moving around for a while.

Sweat was pouring down.

It felt refreshing.

They say that when you’re stressed, you feel better after sweating.

That’s exactly how I feel.

Oh my. But when are you going to finish this?

As I was quietly looking at the area I was assigned, a tree called out to me.

“Han-eum-ah―.”

“uh?”

“Let’s just do that and eat.”

“Not this whole line?”

“You have to give vegetables time to grow.”

“Is that so?”

Haneum was a little dazed.

“Huh? You guys. Are you done?”

Beauty – Miyaang –

As if responding to Haneum’s words.

After the cats answered.

Headed to the house.

“I’m going to prepare dinner too. Come when I call you.”

Haneum, left alone, moved her hand.

Abel approaches and digs the ground with his huge forepaws.

“Are you helping me, hyung?”

Wong-

I don’t know what Abel said, but I knew he was going to help.

“How’s the injury you got yesterday? I was really surprised.”

Abel seems to be okay.

I lightly hit my head on Haneum’s forearm.

“Yeah―, that’s fortunate… … .”

Haneum moved again.

I felt like if I didn’t move, random thoughts would keep coming to me.

After harvesting all the crops in the field.

When I got up, my whole body felt like it was screaming.

uh?

Haneum sniffed at the wafting scent.

The main kitchen smelled deliciously of soybean paste stew.

Knock knock-

“Why are you preparing so much food so early in the morning?”

“Huh? I don’t eat that much… … I eat a lot for lunch or dinner.”

“What is this? Why is the egg roll so fat? Kimchi. And what is this? Forest Pam? Why are you posting Forest Ham?”

“I bought it for business use when I was shopping because I wanted to eat it.”

“Hey, hey—this isn’t good for your health. Why are you eating this?”

A tree that looked at Haneum for a moment.

Let’s try to get rid of one of the sets of spoons that we had placed down.

Haneum looked at him with surprised eyes.

“Whoa— Whoa— Calm down. Are you going to put away your spoon because I said that and not give you food? If you’re eating after a long time, just eat it. Then you’re putting it away again.”

“Thanks for nagging me. Just eat as much rice as you can. The stew is soybean paste stew.”

“Okay―.”

The two people bickered at the table and finished their meal deliciously.

“Please do the dishes.”

“Uh—you?”

“I’ll go and sort out the things I’ll be sending to [SeeYou] today. And today. Let’s go to the beach in front of Dokyeonggye.”

“Huh? Huh―”

The tree that left the words headed towards the field.

Han-eum muttered while clearing the table.

“It’s nice to come to the countryside and do chores and forget about things… … but isn’t that guy working me too hard?”

The tree that came into the field called Abel.

The tree that touched Abel’s cheek as he approached while panting.

“Abel – Is that ‘person’ here today?”

Keung―(I’ve been looking this way since dawn.)

“okay?”

The tree whistled.

Wheeeeeek―

A little later.

A small, black, oval-shaped head poked out from the roof of the old house.

Shurit-(Why are you calling?)

“Bor- I have a favor to ask. There’s a ‘person’ watching us on the mountain behind us? Can you look into it?”

Whip- shrit- (That’s about it.)

Whirlwind-

The snake leapt from the roof of the old house towards the mountain very quickly, like a spring.

‘I wonder what kind of information he will give me… Geo-. Let’s find out together with the help of the snake.’

[All right.]

* * *

The sea temperature after the fall harvest was quite cold.

Haneum is having a hard time because of the cold that makes her feet numb.

I took one of the camping gear out of the car and laid it out on the gravel. I started a fire with the wood I use for camping.

“The water gets cold really quickly.”

Haneum spoke while warming her feet by the campfire for a moment.

“That’s right. Now we’ll start catching things like largemouth bass and shrimp.”

“What is that?”

“Huh? I see some shrimp-like things among the things the sea friends brought. Look over there in the shallow water.”

Let’s see where the tree is pointing.

I saw shrimps swimming together.

“omg?”

“Ah―. I think I should eat it while I can.”

“What are you talking about?”

“Did you know that Grandma left a ‘germ’?”

“Huh? Oh, I know. You both came in at dawn and ate a ton of ramen.”

“Except for the story about eating ramen. Anyway, it looks like they are planning to discharge the nuclear power plant wastewater, which is too much to handle even with ‘Gureumsae’, even if it is met with international outcry.”

“Oh my― Then… … .”

Haneum shortened her speech.

A while ago, the fish capsized the boat.

I wondered what would happen to the seas surrounding the island nation.

“Even though the Marine Life Protection Association is protesting around there, they are showing an attitude of ‘what’s the big deal with other countries’… I think grandma will come forward soon.”

Haneum just nodded.

For marine life, destruction of the underwater ecosystem due to nuclear power plant wastewater and oil tanker sinking.

I thought that it would be a pain no different from the loss of air for a human.

“Today, I’ll just take care of the friends over there and check what our friends brought. And… … .”

The tree glanced at Haneum and smiled as it spoke.

“Do you have anything like a camping sleeping bag or blanket in your car?”

“Yes, but why are you looking for it?”

“If you have it, that’s fine. I’ll be back soon.”

Haneum’s eyes turned into an owl’s at the tree’s actions.

“Hey, you fucking idiot!”

The sea water was so cold that it made my feet numb.

It was a tree that had been walking around there with difficulty.

Han-eum couldn’t help but swear when she saw that friend.

“I’ll be back soon!”

The tree waved its hand.

He grabbed the dorsal fin of a dolphin that was circling around and disappeared into the open sea.

“That bastard—he really—left me alone and what am I supposed to do with these guys! You bad guy!”

Let’s shout out Haneum.

A sea turtle with a net wrapped around its body slowly approached Haneum and placed its front paw on her instep.

As if it were a lot of hardship.

I felt like I was being patted.

“Are you comforting me, Grandpa Sea Turtle?”

At Haneum’s words, the sea turtle shook its head up and down.

Haneum smiled faintly at that sight.

He took out a cutter and a knife.

“How did you end up like this? Oh my… … .”

Haneum is like a tree talking to an animal.

As he spoke, he removed things like nets and fishing lines that were wrapped around his body.

That moment.

The tree rode a dolphin and went out to sea.

A huge whale was waiting.

Wieee―

The whale seems very happy with the tree.

He cried, spitting out water spray.

The whale’s eyes formed a crescent moon.

“I heard that a young guardian was born, but I never thought I would see it like this.”

The tree smiled at the whale’s words.

“How did you come all the way here from the distant sea? My grandmother said that people rarely come this way… … .”

“Did the old lady say that?”

The tree nodded at the whale’s words.

“Ah―. The reason I came is because the children living in the deep sea asked me to deliver something.”

As the whale opened its mouth.

A brilliant blue jewel appeared inside his mouth.

“Huh? This is… … Grandma is extinct… … .”

“Ah. They were almost extinct, but the deep sea friends have sprouted again. This is a different seed.”

I received a blue, jewel-like seed wedged between the whale’s teeth.

If the seed you received when inheriting the Guardian was a large, dark blue seed.

What the whale gave me was a seed the size of a baby’s fist, light sea-colored.

“This… … how.”

Let the trees speak as if they are muttering.

“Plant one here, one in the southern sea, and one in the western sea.”

“… … .”

I was a little perplexed when I was told to plant seeds here.

I was wondering how I, who am not a scuba diver, could go to the deep water.

The depth of the Umbrella Trough, known as the deepest point in the East Sea, was 2,985 meters.

The West Sea and the South Sea were each about 200 meters apart… … .

The maximum depth that scuba divers can reach is 332.35.

The East Sea was the deepest sea among the three sides.

after-

The whale-inspired tree spoke to him as he looked troubled.

“Should I ask my deep-sea friend who lives over here?”

“Before that… … Master―. This seed, like the one that was on the verge of extinction, is also purifying the sea, right?”

“That’s right. Grandma brought it here because she saw the ‘fish’ floating here and thought that our friends in the sea here would be in trouble.”

At the whale’s inspiration, the tree put two seeds into its ‘inventory’ and handed the other one to the whale.

“The East Sea is deep, so please ask your deep-sea friend for a favor.”

“… Keing— I see. Then let me ask you a favor.”

“yes?”

“Can you look at my tail?”

Choaaaat―

The whale lifted its tail above the water.

Then, when he saw the net that appeared, the tree’s complexion darkened.

“Uh— I think this requires a large cutter… Would you mind coming back tomorrow or the day after? Right now, my friend is out in the gravel over there, removing nets and other things that are entangled with the bodies of sea friends.”

Wieee―

Choaaaat―

The large whale, with its tail down, slowly closed its eyes and spoke.

“Okay. I’ll give these seeds to my friend and come back in two nights.”

The whale slowly sank its body into the sea.

It was a consideration for him who was floating on the water.

Wieee―oo―

Dolphins are disappearing as the giant whales disappear.

I moved the tree towards the gravel area.

Chook―

Haneum saw a tree growing up over the gravel and threw a towel at it.

“You fucking idiot, are you out of your mind to go into this cold water?”

The tree, which was drying its wet hair with a towel, smiled faintly at Haneum.

“What should I do? I got a call from the Great Blue Whale from the far sea asking me to come and tell you something. Do you think that big guy can fit in here?”

“… I’m going to say that eventually I’ll learn how to scuba dive and go into the ocean to work?”

“Oh? How did you know?”

“… You fucking idiot.”

Haneum threw the blanket over him.

Let’s wrap ourselves in a blanket and sit in front of the campfire.

Haneum took out the nets and fishhooks of the sea creatures that approached.

The tree, seeing this sight, shouted loudly toward the sea.

“Friends – Let’s stop here for today. You too, get ready to go home.”

“Uh-. But, I really don’t know where they get their colds from.”

“They said they were coming on an expedition. They heard about it from the South Sea and the West Sea, and they came. Also, they must have heard that they wouldn’t provide free treatment. They came with all that stuff.”

Let’s look at where the tree is pointing.

There were also clams and other seafood piled up there, of unknown origin.

“Is today another pearl-digging day?”

“maybe.”

At Haneum’s words, the tree shrugged its shoulders and prepared to turn back.
