Farming Druid - Chapter 123



Only Noblemtl

123. I want to take you to the countryside.

Namu smiled when she heard that Rain, who had gone to the animal hospital, had received treatment safely.

‘That’s good. Now you can talk properly and get along well with Gold and Silver.’

When the tree heard the news, it drove towards the West Sea.

After driving for a while, we arrived at a small dock parking lot near Taean.

Click—

As I got out of the car, I could occasionally hear the cries of black-tailed gulls flying toward the pier.

-There’s nothing to eat. I’m hungry.

―In other regions, there are even kakkas thrown by tourists.

Kkuruk- Kkuruk-

The tree looked around as it listened to the conversation of the seagulls flying overhead.

It was a small place with only fishing boats floating on the sea around it.

‘It’s quiet. There are still 3 minutes left… .’

The tree opened the car door, leaned against the driver’s seat, and looked out toward the sea.

The atmosphere of the East Sea and the West Sea was completely different.

The [Seed of Purification] of the deep East Sea is a tree that asked its friends living in the deep sea to help it.

The West Sea and the South Sea had to be moved by trees themselves.

The tree walked towards the sea and looked down.

‘It’s different… .’

Starting with the clarity of the water, the conversations I heard with my sea friends were different.

‘Sea friends speak in dialect?’

When I close my eyes and listen to their stories.

The engine noise of a small car could be heard from a distance.

Vroom- Vroom-

A man parking his car with a confident drive.

As soon as he got out of the car.

After looking towards the sea.

He approached the tree.

“Are you the person who contacted me?”

“hello.”

If you want to go a little farther out to plant [the Seeds of Purification] in the West Sea, you need a small boat.

Accordingly, I contacted the owner of the small fishing boat.

He opened his mouth with a kind face.

“The waves are calm today, so I think we can go all the way to Pungbyeongdo Island… If you give us a little more, we can go even further―”

“… … .”

It would be nice to go further than the place called Pungbyeongdo.

Just for the good of everyone.

Even the trees know that the West Sea borders the Yellow Sea of ​​China and is a place where paired fishing boats often appear.

“I don’t think we need to go any further.”

“You want to go fishing? Alone?”

“No―. Let’s go for now.”

The sea breeze in mid to late November was bitter.

The fishing boat owner started the boat and set sail.

Buratadang – tutututu –

Choaaat―

The tree boarded the boat and went into the small cabin where it was guided to change its clothes.

As I came out wearing my diving suit, the owner of the fishing boat looked at me with surprised eyes.

‘Are you going to go into the sea this winter? You’ll freeze to death?’

The captain called out to the tree sitting on the bow of the ship while driving.

“The water temperature is going to be quite cold… If you go in, you might freeze.”

The tree simply smiled at the captain’s words.

Because it’s something that needs to be done.

When the warm spring came, [the seeds of purification] could be planted in the West Sea.

By then, many marine creatures had already begun their ecological activities.

It will be the following year that we will be able to see the benefits of [Seeds of Purification].

‘It will be a bit late then… .’

A tree that wishes to live in a clean and transformed living environment as quickly as possible.

After my body was completely transformed into a guardian.

The cold water didn’t feel cold at all.

Plus, when you go into the water, your sea friends will come to you and guide you.

A tree sitting on the bow of a ship and whistling softly.

In the distance, gray-colored dolphins and animals could be seen peeking out their heads.

“What is that? Oh my―. There is something rare―. Do you know what that is?”

Is this what the captain is telling us to keep listening as he continues to steer the ship?

He kept talking, but I couldn’t tell if he was talking to himself or not.

‘You talk quite a lot, sir… .’

The tree thought so and looked out at the sea.

The sun was seen setting in the west.

We left a little late and knew that by the time we finished our sea work it would be night.

“We’ve arrived.”

“I think it would be okay if you just wait here for about 30 minutes, sir.”

The captain nodded at the tree’s calm tone.

“Okay, I’ll wait at least an hour. Bye.”

With the captain’s words, the tree jumped into the sea.

Beep- Beep-

Little whales had come closer and were circling the tree.

He put his hand on the head of the dolphin that approached him with his palm and spoke.

-Can you guide me to the deepest part?

Beep- Beep-

The dolphin nodded.

It was when I was quickly taking the tree I was holding by its dorsal fin to the deepest part.

Sobbing- sobbing-

The tree saw a huge rock flowing towards it.

‘what?’

When I saw what was approaching, I saw that it was a turtle.

A turtle that had lived for quite some time poked its head out.

The turtle put its head on the tree’s hand.

-You’re here. Hold on to my back, I’ll guide you down there.

When the tree heard the voice, it thought of a turtle with a net wrapped around its entire body.

‘Ah— that’s the turtle old man from back then… .’

Hold the turtle’s shell with both hands.

It went deeper and faster than a dolphin.

* * *

At that moment, the captain, left alone on the water, was playing music and humming.

A fishing rod was draped next to him.

“I hope I can catch some….”

The fishing boat owner was fishing for hungry guests when he came up with the catch.

Squeak-

“Oh my―”

The boat owner was struggling with the fish, holding the fishing rod and reeling in and out.

After the final struggle.

The fish came up onto the boat.

“Oh―. This customer is lucky… He caught a big rock bream… Should I just take this and try catching something else?”

The captain put the rock bream that had been caught into a small aquarium inside the boat and cast his fishing rod again.

Squeak-

“Huh? Again? Where is this place? There was a point like this?”

The captain quickly reeled in the line.

The captain opened his mouth when he saw the fish that had come up.

“Okay, 10 pieces of wild flounder?”

A wild flounder that is said to be impossible to obtain even with money has been caught.

“Wow― Who should take a picture of this?”

The owner of the ship got greedy and pushed even this flatfish into the aquarium.

The captain was so happy he wanted to die.

Let’s put the fishing rod in the sea.

“What will come up this time?”

The captain forgot to prepare a meal and got lost in fishing.

Whiriliririk―

The captain screamed when he saw what was revealed as he reeled in the reel.

Ewww—

“A, a person… .”

The tree, which was holding the boat with one hand, spoke.

“Phew— here we go.”

The captain sank to the ground.

“Can you lift me up please?”

After listening to the wooden horse, the captain calmed his surprised heart.

I reached out my hand.

The tree that had climbed up onto the ship saw that the captain’s face had turned white.

“You must have been very surprised.”

“Suddenly, it came up caught on a fishing line. I thought it was a corpse… I knew it.”

The captain continued to stroke the back of his neck as if he was embarrassed.

“Hey, is it cold?”

“No, it’s okay. Let’s go back now.”

The captain glanced at the tree and opened his mouth cautiously.

“Hey, this seems like a big fishing spot, so why don’t we go fishing for a bit?”

The tree frowned at the captain’s words.

“I don’t think that’ll work out. I have plans later.”

“… Is that so?”

The ship owner seemed to be disappointed.

We started the boat and returned to the dock where we came from.

The captain felt good as he recalled the flounder and rock bream in the aquarium.

The two arrived at the pier where darkness had completely fallen.

Before the ship owner deposited the remaining amount into his account, the tree opened its mouth.

“When you were in that water…, you caught rock bream and flounder, right?”

The expression on the captain’s face changed to a blank expression after hearing this.

“Huh? Huh? How…?”

I also wondered how someone who had been underwater knew the truth.

Ss …

A sudden creepy feeling on the back of my neck.

The captain, seeing the young man in front of him, stuttered and barely opened his mouth.

“Oh, the money you promised to give me. Oh, you don’t have to give it to me.”

The captain, who felt the gaze of the young man who was just standing there, spoke with difficulty.

“I, I had something to do, but I forgot about it. Well, then, take care and go―”

The ship owner loaded the icebox into his car and disappeared.

The ship owner muttered as he drove his compact car and looked at the young man standing in the rearview mirror.

‘How… . I don’t know? I caught a big fish… . But I found a big fish spot, so I’ll have to talk to the fishermen when they come. Now I’m going to make some money.’

When you think about it that way.

The cell phone on the passenger seat rang.

Tilong-

The ship owner, who received the signal, looked at his cell phone and then looked back toward the dock.

“Huh― really… I said I wouldn’t take it because I felt cold. But you’re giving it to me… You’re a young man who has become human…”

The ship owner praised the tree, but

He didn’t know.

The fact that the fishing boat went out to sea and didn’t catch a single fish.

* * *

The next day.

The tree came up to Seoul from Taean early in the morning.

I stopped by the broadcasting station, met with producer Hong Seon-ah, and was leaving the studio after finishing all the filming.

“Hey, Mr. Hannamu.”

The tree stopped at Tae-jin’s voice.

“yes?”

“Excuse me—could you give me a moment of your time?”

There was a hint of a loss of confidence in his voice.

“Yeah.”

Namoo and Tae-jin ordered drinks at the cafe inside the broadcasting station and sat down.

“What brings you here? Why did you want to see me?

As soon as the tree asked the question, the vibration bell placed on the table rang.

Jiing— Jiing—

“Ah—I’ll go and go.”

Tae-jin went to the pickup truck holding the vibration bell.

It was to organize my thoughts on the way.

I have been studying and majoring in companion animal behavior correction.

During this shoot, Ajin was unable to determine the cat’s condition.

The young man sitting at the table and looking out the window petted his pet a few times.

I immediately figured out the situation.

That came as quite a surprise to Tae-Jin.

If you hire a tree for your animal hospital.

I thought that I could also advance my career.

‘I still don’t understand animals even after seeing and experiencing them for years… How did that guy figure it out so quickly?’

Ajin returned to the table with the drinks she ordered.

“I will drink well.”

Tae-jin nodded at the tree’s greeting.

I took a sip of the cool drink.

“I asked to see Mr. Tree….”

The tree’s eyes widened slightly at the words that came out of Ajin’s mouth.

‘I’ll get you a job at an animal hospital, so let’s work together?’

It was a little absurd.

A ‘guardian of nature’ whose mission is to look after animals on Earth is working at a mere animal hospital?

Of course you can.

Because the animals that can be examined will be limited.

It would also be fun to see animals living together with humans.

Trees range from a wider range of endangered species.

It was the guardian’s job to help ensure that their paper could be passed down from generation to generation.

The tree, which had been nodding its head while listening to Tae-jin’s story, opened its mouth with a smile.

“I’m sorry. I have to decline.”

“Yes? Why, why?”

Tae-jin Tae, who was offered a sufficient salary and time, stuttered.

I clearly heard that this friend in front of me worked in Seoul.

“I’m quite busy because I’m farming in the countryside.”

The tree that spoke drank the drink.

He opened his mouth while looking at Tae-ah-jin.

“Rather, I would like to invite Teacher Tae-A Jin to our countryside.”

“Huh? What is that…?”
