Farming Druid - Chapter 127
Only Noblemtl
127. It was Abel.
Was this what my parents thought?
The moment you see the food on the table.
The first thought that came to my mind was, ‘I don’t want to eat it’, ‘I might die if I eat it.’
Dalgrak-
The two people picked up their spoons.
After carefully scooping up some rice and putting it in your mouth.
Little Abel took a bite of the fried egg he had made for her and put it in his mouth.
Parsac—
I see sounds coming out that shouldn’t be there.
It seemed like the shell was broken into the egg as well.
There is no salt at all.
Two people carefully spat out the eggshell from their mouths.
Woof woof – keueung –
The two people who looked out into the yard at the sound of barking ended up chuckling.
The sight of him fluttering about, distracted by the falling snow, was unmistakably that of a ‘dog’.
Looking at Haneum, who was holding chopsticks and not knowing what to do.
“Let’s eat it since your sincerity is admirable.”
“Who said what?”
“That’s because you act like you’re not going to eat it.”
“Haa―. I feel like I know what my mother must have been thinking….”
Phew-
I didn’t immediately cover my mouth at Haneum’s words.
It seemed as if the grains of rice that were being eaten had bounced off Haneum’s face.
Haneum responded rudely to that appearance from dawn.
“You too. If that kid hadn’t prepared this kind of food for me, I wouldn’t have even touched it.”
“Is that so?”
The two of them forced themselves to eat all the food.
Abel saw the tree and Haneum finish their meal.
Kwung- Kuaang?
Haneum looked up at the tree.
The tree that had been scratching the ball reached out and pulled Abel’s ball, saying:
“Abel—. Why did you cook the egg when you got hurt while using the gas stove? Abel?”
Kkiing―
Abel lay flat on the floor with his ears down.
The tree stroked its head and said, thinking that it could no longer be confused by that sight.
“Hyung-ah Han-eum and I both enjoyed the food you made. Thank you.”
Abel’s tail flapped powerfully like a helicopter.
At that sight, the tree smiled and opened its mouth.
“Will you promise to cook together with me next time?”
Woof-
It was cute to see him nodding and barking.
“Abel―”
At Haneum’s call, Abel tilted his head slightly and looked up.
“How did you come up with the idea to prepare breakfast?”
Abel gave his own explanation in response to Haneum’s question.
The tree served as an interpreter in the middle.
While interpreting.
The tree hugged Abel’s neck tightly and muttered.
“Thank you—. Abel. Thank you. For thinking of me that way.”
Let’s see the friend hugging Abel’s neck and burying his face in his fur.
Han-eum, who had lost her cool, asked a little bluntly.
“Why? What are you saying?”
The tree hesitated for a moment, then mumbled as it rested its forehead against Abel.
“… . From the first time he saw me, he just liked me. He was surprised and worried when I looked sick, he felt good when I smiled, and he felt bad when I frowned because I was sick… . After I became a guardian. He said he was so happy to see me healthy, and he wanted to do everything he could for me.”
When Haneum heard the tree’s story, the first thought that came to her mind was that Abel was ‘good’.
Abel heard the story of a dog that was abandoned by its owner.
‘He’s quite bright for a dog that was abandoned by its owner… .’
Haneum recalled the first time she met Abel.
A fairly large dog.
A dog that is friendly and gentle with people.
Plus, I thought of a big, cute dog that could carry people.
‘If a dog like that could transform into a realistically impossible person… .’
Haneum ended up laughing out loud.
I’m a little curious about the lives of the tree and Abel in the future.
Even now, Abel, who was of a large build, had his head bowed and was being stroked by the tree.
Did that look happy?
At dawn, or rather from the morning, the sight of a large dog and a handsome young man seemed like a painting.
Kew-
Abel, who was hugging the tree, barked while looking at Haneum.
“what?”
“Hahaha – thank you. For being with me.”
“what?”
Abel’s words made a part of my heart tingle.
Haneum reached out and stroked Abel’s head while making eye contact with him.
“Thank you too, Abel. For always being there for me as a friend.”
As soon as Han Eum’s words were finished.
The big dog looks embarrassed.
He placed his head on Haneum’s shoulder and ran towards his old house.
“Hahaha – How embarrassing… .”
Haneum ended up laughing out loud.
I was a little out of it because of the sudden awakening at dawn.
This situation was a little absurd and warm.
* * *
Haneum was helping Namoo with the harvesting work inside the vinyl house.
“Ughhhhh”
A little boy came in and screamed at the two of them.
The one who opened the door and came in was none other than little Abel.
Haneum smiled and asked after hearing Abel’s scream(?).
“Abel, are you here to work?”
Abel nodded at Haneum’s words.
After that.
With hands as big as bracken, I began picking off the kale leaves one by one to be put into the salad.
‘How can he pick kale leaves so cleanly with those little hands?’
Haneum, who briefly watched them work, turned her head.
I felt both cute and sad at the same time.
‘I guess I’ll have to ask her to go buy some clothes later.’
Abel, who was working hard for a long time with his hands that looked like they were collecting small maple leaves.
Suddenly he ran towards the house door and turned into a large Malamute.
Ta-da-da-dak
It was like running somewhere with its fur fluttering.
Haneum tilted her head at the sight.
“That guy―. Why is he like that?”
A question from Haneum.
Just shrugging.
“Well―. Did you want to go to the bathroom?”
Haneum was silently doing what she had been thinking might be the case at the tree’s words.
“Still, little Abel is good at his job.”
The tree also agreed with Haneum’s words.
“That’s true, isn’t it? Because he’s already done that much?”
Haneum’s gaze shifted to the tree’s words pointing behind him with its thumb.
“oh-.”
Let’s see what little Abel has done.
Haneum felt a little embarrassed.
Because I picked all the salad leaves very quickly with my hands like maple leaves and organized them in a box.
at that time.
Sigh-
The tree that was picking kale leaves muttered as it looked at Haneum’s expression.
“Let’s hurry up and eat lunch.”
“uh.”
The two people’s hands began to move faster.
That moment.
Abel started running up the mountain.
Knock knock knock
The sound of running footsteps was powerful.
Abel felt a tingling sensation on one side of his chest.
Should I just say that I feel strength surge from my whole body?
The praise and gazes of my older brothers brought up certain emotions.
So I ran away.
I was happy, but also scared.
It was because I was reminded of the previous owner of my older brother.
When I was young.
The previous owner was really nice to me.
I remembered the times when I stroked it a lot and slept with it.
I wanted to forget.
Stop –
‘No – I didn’t want to forget my former master. I wanted to see him. I wanted to show him that I was happy.’
Abel finally realized his own mind.
Awww―
He looked up at the sky and cried out loud.
An echo heard from afar.
I feel a little better now.
‘I should ask my older brother. I want to see where the previous owner is…’
Abel believed that his brothers would grant his request.
He believed in the actions his older brothers showed him.
‘Hyung-ah God is trusted by the forest animals, and Hyung-ah Tree is also kind to the forest animals and to me… If… .’
Abel continued his thoughts and suddenly became gloomy.
‘What if I ask you something and you don’t listen?’
I was a little worried.
But soon the big head was shaved.
‘Hyung-ah will listen. Yeah― trust me.’
When Abel was making that decision.
Quoraex—
A wild boar ran up to Abel and caught his breath.
“Huh? What’s going on?”
“There’s a human hanging off the cliff.”
Abel’s eyes shook at the boar’s words.
Then, as if something had suddenly occurred to him.
“By any chance—is it possible that a human climbed up the rock and hit something?”
The boar tilted its head at Abel’s words.
It seemed like an idea was coming to mind.
“Let’s go – we have to see for ourselves.”
As soon as Abel finished speaking.
The wild boar ran ahead.
Although the boar was very large, it ran very fast.
‘That’s why I can sometimes burn the tree brother…’
Abel runs into the forest to see his friends.
Guardian Hyung-ah used to call out to the wild boar running in front of him and ride it.
The reason was simple.
‘I’ve always been ahead because my nose can detect a wide range of scents.’
Abel continued his thoughts as he ran.
He said that when he burned Hyung-ah and I smelled him, his body odor bothered me.’
Abel was thinking like that.
The boar suddenly stopped.
She was pointing somewhere with her mother’s teeth.
“Kkuueeek― Over there―”
Abel looked at the place the boar had pointed out.
omg?
I could see ice covered with white icicles.
There were people wearing colorful clothes hanging out there.
“… … .”
Abel looked at the people climbing the ice wall for a moment.
“That’s―”
Abel could remember.
I saw it once when I was watching TV with my older brother Namoo.
“That’s— ice climbing. You climb up like that, poking things out… What was it called? Oh—! That’s right. Was it called an extreme sport?”
Abel spoke as the tree brother had told him.
The boar nodded after hearing Abel’s explanation.
“Kkwae— It wasn’t dangerous… huh.”
“Yeah— it’s dangerous without being dangerous.”
“What?”
The boar didn’t understand.
Abel thought of the man who had bled profusely on the cliff.
It was the exact spot where those people were climbing.
It was late summer.
Now that I think about it, the wild boar in front of me had also spotted a person and run towards him back then.
Abel looked at the boar and said,
“If you fall from that height, you die. That is, without safety equipment.”
“Quoeh―Safety equipment?”
“Without those blue lines, red lines, and those axes that poke and peck, you’d die if you fell. The Guardian said that if you wanted to climb that ice wall, you needed to have some gear to be safe.”
Let me tell you everything I know.
The boar realized that it was nothing serious.
“Well done, anyway. If you see anything strange, please let me know.”
Nod—
The large boar quickly moved its feet and hid itself between the bare branches of the trees.
“Wow— that wild boar over there— isn’t it huge?”
I heard the person who had climbed up the ice wall talking loudly to the people below while looking at the scenery.
Abel lay still on the floor with his belly pressed against the ground.
“Isn’t that, that— a, a wolf?”
“where?”
“That thing lying on the floor over there.”
Abel glanced at the crowd of people and quickly ran home.
Those ice climbers were amazed to see a wild boar and a large dog.
Ta-da-da-dak
Abel, running home, sniffled.
‘Huh? What’s this smell?’
Abel smelled his favorite scent among the smells wafting from the house.
It smelled like ‘dried pollack and seaweed soup’.
The reason Abel came to like this seaweed soup was because of the mother cat who had given birth to her kittens.
The mother cat, exhausted from leaving her kittens behind, pushed the seaweed soup to Abel.
Give it a taste.
Abel, who happened to take a bite, ate it all up in one go and from then on, occasionally asked Namu Hyung-ah to cook it for him.
“Abel―”
I heard my brother’s voice from afar.
Abel’s heart was once again tickled.
Keuuung―(Let’s go― Hyung-ah―)
