124. Why this guy
The tree’s words that it wants to take you to the countryside.
I was sincere.
Forest animals living behind the house.
And there are still friends moving from the North, albeit little by little.
There were too many animals for the Wildlife Protection Center’s veterinarians to handle all of their care.
“… … .”
In front of the tree that had been explained, there was only a glass left unattended.
‘I knew it. Would someone who’s busy building a reputation come to the countryside?’
The tree cleared away the cup that was left there.
I left the broadcasting station.
* * *
[Our train will arrive at the last stop, Seoul Station, shortly. Please prepare in advance. Today too….]
The tree, who had dozed off for a moment, opened its eyes and looked out the window.
‘We’ve arrived… .’
It was a tree that had been on a forced march for several days.
After leaving the broadcasting station.
From Busan Station, I went back to Tongyeong and planted [the seeds of purification].
When I was packing my bags to come back up from Tongyeong.
When Namu heard the news of the sinking accident in the distant sea of Jeju, he packed his bags and flew straight to Jeju.
After taking care of everything in Jeju.
When I arrived at Seoul Station, several days had passed.
Phew―
Hop into your pickup truck in the parking lot.
Only then did it feel real that I had arrived.
Vroom—
The started tree headed towards the house where its family was waiting.
While the tree is riding on the highway.
In the country house, five cat brothers and some older kittens were gathered together and meowing on the porch where the warm sunlight was shining.
After rolling around for a while and looking at the sky.
Summer, with her white fur, opened her mouth.
“When will the butler come?”
“You’ll be back soon, right?”
“I miss you.”
At the youngest, Season’s words, all the kittens just nodded their heads.
The butler’s back is good for climbing high.
And always with a smile.
These were cats who really wanted to see their butler softly calling them to eat.
A conversation between meowing cats.
Let the warm sunlight touch your fur.
Before I knew it, the cats had fallen asleep, even snoring.
A peaceful rural winter daytime scene.
How much time has passed?
The cats and Abel’s ears perked up.
ok?
Meow?
The cat and the large dog looked at the front door.
“Guys―”
The cats approached us happily, their tails slightly bent and quivering.
I haven’t seen you in a few days.
A tree that saw the cats’ happy faces and Abel’s happy faces.
The muscles in his face relaxed on their own and he smiled at them.
A tree that looked around while petting each cat.
“Did you have fun? How was Grandma?”
Meow-(He left this morning.)
“I see. Have you guys eaten?”
Woof―
The cats nodded their heads in unison in response.
It was a tree that I just naturally thought was cute.
“Yeah, you ate.”
Woof―(Hyung―.)
Abel’s little bark.
The tree he looked up at met Abel’s eyes.
Smile-
Abel’s lips turn up and he smiles so cutely that I want to touch him.
Keukeung-(Hyung-ah- I have something to show you in the evening.)
“What is that?”
Hehehe―
The tree also smiled at the sight of Abel sticking his tongue out and laughing.
“Okay, then show it to me in the evening.”
Cats that hadn’t been seen for several days saw the tree.
I ran excitedly into the field.
?!―
Woof woof (Brother – Follow me.)
At Abel’s words, the tree put down its load and followed the cats.
A place I followed while feeling puzzled.
It was a storage facility for storing crops from the fields.
‘Why here?’
The door to a place cats normally cannot enter was open.
Inside, there was a box neatly packed with a lot of salad greens, probably harvested in the morning.
“Did you guys do all this?”
The cats flinched at the tree’s question.
“Ah— so grandma left it behind this morning?”
Nod— Nod—
A tree that understands what is happening based on the cats’ behavior.
Due to being away for a while, my order was delayed a little.
And then I looked around.
A vinyl greenhouse had already been installed near the cabbage field.
‘I guess grandma made it… What about the cabbage?’
Since I was away from home for a few days and my grandmother was taking care of the field, the area around the field seemed to have changed a bit.
‘What crops are planted in the greenhouse? Strawberries?’
When I was looking at the crops my grandmother had planted.
I turned my head at the sound I heard from somewhere.
‘Huh? That’s….’
Wheein— Wheein—
A small fluttering sound was coming from one side of the house.
Wow―
An exclamation came out naturally.
I was thinking of keeping bees, but I never thought I would see a beehive like this.
Jiying-
“Huh? Grandma… Are you in Korea?”
I checked and it wasn’t that.
It looked like he had left a reservation text message on his cell phone.
My grandmother’s text was a very long one.
―I’ll leave a reservation text and go. I brought a queen bee and her family members from over there to the greenhouse. I put them in the greenhouse to adjust the temperature. Raise them well. And they’ll understand what I say. And I’ve set up a lot of greenhouses so that you can enter the delivery area even in the winter. There are also vegetables that I’m growing in them, so I’ll keep raising them. Since Grandma knows that you can cover all the way to Daejeon with enough training when you go out, I’ll leave you a gift. Stay healthy, don’t miss your regular checkups at the hospital, and eat well. And… .
“Wow— Grandma… This isn’t a text message, it’s more like a business cooperation letter…”
After reading everything, the tree shook its head.
Seriously, I’ve been away from home for a few days.
It seemed like he had finished all the field work and had even started some new work on top of it.
“Well― it was originally my grandmother’s house… Even if the ownership was transferred to me…”
When the tree is muttering.
I turned my head when I heard a slightly loud flapping sound.
“Wow―.”
Just 50 centimeters away, a flock of bees were fluttering their wings in unison.
Among those bees.
A bee, about the size of an adult’s index finger, came out and flapped its wings, lowering its head slightly.
The bee’s voice echoed in my head.
―Greetings to the young guardian. I am Tooth, the leader of this group. I greet you in this way for accepting our bee family as members.
The tree was a little surprised to see the bee that introduced itself as the leader.
It was fascinating to see a little bit of dust flying from the wings.
The leader bee, sensing the tree’s gaze, began to wiggle its small beak.
―Our family will work hard to collect honey and provide delicious honey to the Guardians.
“Huh? Uh- yeah. I heard that Grandma brought you here. By the way, what kind of wasps are you?”
-No. We are bees. Our species is named for the fact that we only collect honey from all the flowers in the world.
“Oh, really?”
No matter how you look at them, they are all bigger than native bees.
Even the leader, Boltus, was of considerable size.
The honey jar was quite large, probably because it was made by my grandmother.
The tree points to the honeycomb.
All the bees’ heads turned at once.
“Is it okay to stay there?”
– It’s okay. I heard that you can live comfortably without any natural enemies.
“It’s not that there aren’t any. It’s winter here and this is inside a greenhouse, so there are no natural enemies, but we’re going to take the can outside next spring.”
The leader nodded as if he understood.
– Understood, Young Guardian. Then we will go back.
“Yeah, if anything is uncomfortable, let me know.”
Wheein— Wheein—
As soon as the tree finished speaking, the bees went straight into the hive.
A few bees remained and flew back and forth between the small flowers in the house to pollinate them.
‘Now… I don’t have to do it. It’s comfortable… .’
I was thinking of buying bees from an apiary and raising them.
Because grandma brought the bees.
It was a good thing for the tree.
I walked around here and there checking the fields.
Only the original field was touched by the grandmother’s hands.
‘Ah! This is… .’
I remembered that I hadn’t told my grandmother that I had purchased her land.
Ta-da-da-dak
We quickly crossed a small mountain that separated us from our neighbors.
“Wow—this is just a jungle….”
After the wild boars came down and plowed the field.
Have you planted anything to eat?
They were digging up and eating root plants that had been planted together with herbivores.
Did you realize that a person had appeared?
The herbivores’ ears twitched.
I looked towards the tree.
“hi?”
Herbivores try to run away at the tree’s greeting.
A tree that has seen the tension in its body released.
“You must be surprised. Eat well, go up and be well. Nothing happened?”
At the tree’s question, the herbivores looked at each other and opened their mouths.
―Kkwaaaaaaaaaa (A few days ago, there were a lot of people coming and going near that cliff.)
The tree frowned slightly at Gorani’s words.
No matter how often I heard it, I never got used to the sound of the deer’s cry.
However, at Gorani’s words, the tree folded its arms and turned its head toward the cliff.
“Since when have people been coming and going?”
The deer shakes its neck and looks at the floor.
He opened his mouth, looking towards the cliff.
-I think it started three days ago.
The tree, listening to Gorani’s words, decided to find out more.
?!
One of the wild boars that came into view had something stuck in its tusk.
“Hey buddy? What’s wrong with your mom?”
Huh?
The wild boar was digging potatoes when he looked up at the tree in surprise.
-Ah! This fell into a crevice in the rocks.
“A crevice in a rock?”
Nod—
The wild boar is said to have picked up something stuck between the cracks in the rocks jutting out from the cliff and placed it between its tusks.
“You want to give it to Abel?”
Nod—
“I heard that people are coming and going on the mountain behind the house. Have you ever watched them?”
―People wearing colorful, thick clothes and holding things like walking sticks were going up and down the mountain.
The boar’s words reminded the tree of the time it had wandered around the town and the border city last year.
I knew that many people climb Mt. Dokyeonggye for winter hiking.
The boar seemed to know that too.
A tree that approaches a wild boar with its eyes wide open and locks eyes with it.
“That’s true. If you go a little bit out of the city boundary, there are courses that connect to the Geumgangsan mountain range here and there.”
I looked closely at the object caught in the boar’s tusk.
The object covered in saliva was a cell phone.
Phew―
I took a zipper bag out of my pocket and turned it inside out.
He grabbed the cell phone from the boar’s fangs and pulled it out.
-Queek, thank you. I feel refreshed now.
“Yeah, you’ve worked hard.”
-Guardian. By the way, can I get some potatoes and sweet potatoes?
“Huh? Didn’t you plant it?”
-that is….
The crops that the wild boars planted are said to be in the field behind Namune’s house.
The tree smiled and said to the boar that he was too scared to come near because the guardian of the previous generation was there.
“I’ll tell Abel, so come get it around dinnertime.”
At the tree’s words, the boar raised its head as if it was happy and cried.
Other friends also cried along with him.
Kkweeeeeeeeekaaa …
Please, Gorani, don’t cry.
The tree couldn’t bear to say anything.
What can I do? – I was born with that kind of crying habit.
A tree that came home from my grandfather’s garden.
As I entered the living room, I finally felt like I was home.
It’s already 4 o’clock.
It was time to prepare dinner.
Jiing— Jiiing—
“Huh? Why is this guy…?”
