Farming Druid - Chapter 128



Only Noblemtl

128. It suits you well.

A few days later.

The tree is snowing.

I was looking at what used to be a cabbage field.

Minya-

The cats come out of the house.

He was sitting next to a tree in a rocking chair, his shoulders and knees on top of his head.

I didn’t feel cold at all.

A tree looking out at a forest with only bare branches left.

Abel suddenly came to mind.

Abel went out in the morning to check on his friends in the forest and hasn’t come back yet.

morning.

It was a tree that had a little bit of free time after doing all the field work with Abel.

Hurp-

He was holding a mug of green tea in his hand.

Until a few days ago, my friend Haneum was with me.

Han-eum, who had been struggling with problems at the hospital and her younger sibling’s problems, made a decision.

He gave the annex to the Han-eum brothers and made them into a small country hospital.

Thanks to that, the remodeling schedule for the annex of Namune House has been set.

The tree had already spoken to the grandmother.

At first, the grandmother was reluctant, but after hearing Han-eum’s story, she agreed.

‘Tomorrow – the remodeling contractors will come and start construction on the annex…’

The tree took out its cell phone and started writing down the things it needed to do again.

The cats watched from their laps and shoulders in the trees.

Couple-

The tree, which had been writing down various plans on its cell phone, raised its head at the sound of crying.

A squawking owl that had been sitting far away flew in, flapping its wings.

Foodduck―

Let’s reach out to the fluttering owl.

The owl landed carefully so as not to hurt the guardian’s hand.

“How are all your friends?”

A gentle question from a tree.

The owl blinked its eyes wide.

He nodded.

“Thanks to the Guardian, this place is very safe and fun―”

“Isn’t it time to go to bed now? What’s going on?”

“There are a lot of people on the cliff side―. It’s noisy again today―.”

The tree nodded and continued speaking at the owl’s complaint(?).

“I’ll check and let you know through Abel.”

Couple-husband-uh

The owl nodded.

With wings spread.

He jumped down from the tree’s hand and tried to stealthily catch a small kitten with his paw.

The tree, knowing the owl’s thoughts, reached out its hand.

The owl caught the tree’s outstretched hand with its paw.

?!- married couple-

“Owl?”

At the tree’s call, the owl flapped its wings and flew leisurely into the forest, pretending not to hear it.

ha ha ha-

The tree ended up laughing.

The entire body above the knees was covered in white fur.

Jinju, who had a yellow circle drawn on her forehead, didn’t even know that she was almost captured.

With a motor attached to his neck.

The tree was making a rustling sound at the touch of my hand.

Garang- Garang-

The eyes of the kitten that was almost caught closed slightly.

The tree, feeling the soft texture of the cats’ fur, ended up chuckling.

The tree smiled as its eyes met the kitten’s, which had suddenly opened its eyes.

He stroked the kitten’s head and prayed for the animals’ health.

‘Yes. I hope you all stay healthy. Nature is happy when you are healthy.’

The tree, which had seen the cloudless blue sky, lowered its head at the sound of the cell phone alarm.

“ah-.”

It was the day I had to go see my parents.

After putting the cats on the floor.

I got up from the rocking chair and headed towards the main building.

* * *

It took about three hours from the border to the shelter where my parents were resting.

After packing up a few things at home.

I headed to see my parents.

Arriving at the shelter, the tree briefly greeted his parents in front of their gravestone.

Let’s spread out a mat and quietly look at a picture of our parents.

Memories of my childhood came flooding back vividly.

When I was lost in thought for a long time looking at the tombstone.

Wheeing―

A slightly warm breeze blew through the hair of the trees.

Self-punch- Self-punch-

I heard footsteps and turned my head.

“Huh? Grandma?”

“Oh my―. You were here.”

“Yes, I haven’t been here for long.”

The grandmother nodded at the tree’s words.

The grandmother was wearing a black two-piece outfit.

“I see….”

The tree reflected on the grandmother’s expression.

To the tree, they were precious father and mother.

He was a precious son and daughter-in-law to his grandmother.

Grandma, I realized that today was the day you sent away your precious jewel, your son.

My grandmother placed white chrysanthemums in front of the tombstone.

I put both hands together.

The tree, seeing the grandmother, looked up at the sky.

I felt tears welling up in my eyes without realizing it.

A little later.

Grandma smiled at the tree.

After reaching out and patting the tree’s back.

“Grandma, I’m just here for a bit, so I’m going.”

The tree smiled and greeted the grandmother’s words.

“Yes. Have a nice trip.”

As the tree’s greeting ended, the wind blew.

Wheeing―

“He’s gone.”

Grandma disappeared again with the wind.

The tree turned its head and looked at its parents’ gravestone.

The sky was very blue.

The tree greeted its parents by touching their gravestone.

“I’ll come back later.”

The tree came down into the shelter parking lot.

Even in the chilly winter weather, mourners were seen here and there.

Phew―

The tree was enveloped in an indescribable loneliness as the white breath rose toward the sky.

Wheeing―

A tree with its collar open, wondering if it might be the bitter winter wind.

But the wind blew warmly, brushing my forehead.

The tree didn’t feel it, but leaves were growing again on its slightly exposed forehead.

Jiing— Jiiing—

The tree that saw the sender just chuckled.

It was yacht driver Yoon Kang.

A tree that received a phone call while getting into the car.

“Uh— why?”

-There’s a class reunion coming up. Are you going?

“No, I’m not going. I’m a bit busy these days with greenhouse farming.”

– Really? Haneum said she wasn’t coming because she was busy with work at the hospital. That’s too bad.

“I heard you’re the general affairs manager. Have a nice trip.”

-Okay. You two are out. Oh, and next January, I’m going overseas for diving training. While I’m out, you should get your pilot’s license and yacht license.

“No – I have a driver, why should I?”

―… … .

There was no word on the other end of the phone.

―Ugh… . I see. You have to go abroad and do some volunteer work. You and Haneum too.

“Okay, thanks.”

After hanging up the phone, the tree started up.

Vroom—

Leaving the shelter visible through the rearview mirror behind.

The tree headed back home.

A few days after visiting the shelter.

The remodeling work on the annex has been completed and even the cleaning has been done.

All construction costs were paid by Haneum.

While remodeling the annex, an entrance was created on the opposite side of the annex.

It was because of the patients who would come.

The interior of the annex included a clinic and two hospital rooms, one of which was designed for Han-eum’s younger sibling to reside in.

A note comes down once in the middle.

After checking the situation.

The separate building was opened as a small hospital and reported to the Do-gyeong-gye Health Center.

After the related report was completed, Haneum brought in and installed medical equipment for her younger brother in the hospital room.

* * *

A morning just like any other.

dawn.

A tree that received a call from Haneum.

-I’m going downstairs carrying my younger sibling.

After hanging up the phone, Namu inspected the annex once more.

A few hours later.

The tree, waiting for its friend and his friend’s younger sibling, heard a faint siren sound.

‘We’ve arrived.’

Haneum put her younger brother to bed in the hospital room in the separate building.

The tree also went into the sickroom and saw Han-eum’s younger brother lying there.

I held the hand of my friend’s younger sibling who had been sick in bed for a long time and said a greeting that I didn’t know if he would hear.

“Hanwoo―. It’s been a while. Your brother said that. He said you were sleepy. Do you know who he is?”

The tree is holding Hanwoo’s hand.

I read the mind of my friend’s younger brother who was lying down.

‘uh?’

The tree’s pupils slightly dilated and shrank.

‘This guy―.’

The tree’s gaze began to sink.

“… … .”

A gap where a tree greets its younger sibling.

Han-eum attached several medical devices to her younger brother’s head and chest.

Belt- belt-

A low, steady heartbeat was coming from the device.

“If something happens to my younger sibling, he/she will contact me on my cell phone.”

Haneum connected the device to her phone and shook it.

The tree nodded at those words.

“You can tell right away whether something is abnormal or not?”

“uh-.”

Haneum is after that.

I was also able to check my brother’s condition through a computer in the examination room.

“I’m resting.”

After finishing all the settings, Haneum muttered as she closed the door to her younger brother’s hospital room.

After that.

Haneum came out into the yard and waved hello to the tree.

“Thank you. I really appreciate it.”

The tree, slightly embarrassed by its friend’s greeting, opened its mouth and pursed its lips.

“You can rest easy. I’ll get my rent paid on time. Just know that.”

“Are you saying something so obvious?”

The tree smiled faintly at Haneum’s teasing and said as it entered the main building.

“What are you saying? You haven’t eaten lunch. Come in, eat, and then get to work.”

“huh-.”

Haneum was grateful to the tree.

When he told me his plans.

The tree just smiled and nodded.

Because they were like brothers who had been together for a long time, the tree helped in whatever way it could.

Abel approached Han-eum, who was left in the yard.

Woof woof

Let’s play a prank by poking our noses into Haneum’s hand while he’s standing.

Haneum opened her mouth and pulled Abel’s cheek.

“I have a present for you, so let’s eat and see. Abel.”

Huh?

Abel tilted his head and looked at Haneum.

Haneum patted Abel’s head, saying he was cute, and then went into the main building.

Upon entering the main building.

I entered the kitchen because of the smell of food.

On the table were soybean paste stew, a few vegetables, and meat side dishes.

Haneum was curious about the identity of the meat side dish.

“What kind of meat is this?”

“duck-.”

“Huh? Duck meat? You don’t raise ducks at home.”

“Saimdang’s father sent me this because he bought a lot at the town mart.”

“Really? That sounds delicious.”

The two people began to eat the food laid out on the table.

Haneum opened her eyes wide after tasting the soybean paste stew.

“Hey—this is delicious.”

“What? Soybean paste stew?”

“Huh—what did you put in it? The stew is spicy and just my style.”

The sight of a friend taking a big bite of rice after eating it several times.

The tree laughed at the sight of its friend.

After the meal.

In the living room, Han-eum called Abel.

“Abel—would you like to come and see for a moment?”

Huh?

Abel entered the living room at Haneum’s call and wiped his feet thoroughly.

I sat in the middle of the living room.

“Tree—tell Abel to turn into a little boy.”

“Did you hear that? Abel?”

At the tree’s words, Abel turned into a little boy.

Little Abel tilting his head at the sight of his naked body.

Haneum put on Abel the pants and T-shirt she took out of the box.

“oh?”

The tree saw the shape and color of the clothes and ended up laughing.

Kuaaa-ang

Little Abel, who was looking at the clothes Haneum had given him, smiled bashfully.

“Do you like it?”

A question from Haneum.

Little Abel hugged Haneum tightly.

He reached out and placed Haneum’s hand on his head.

“Would you like to pet me?”

Nod—

The tree looked at Abel, who was dressed in clothes.

‘It suits you well… .’

Abel’s fur was light brown.

Perhaps that’s why his hair and eyes were light brown in color.

“The colors of your clothes suit you well. You look like a chick.”

Haneum said to the tree’s words while caressing Abel’s head and back who was being held by her.

“I asked my seniors and nurses in Seoul because I wanted to dress this kid up.”

“Is that so? It suits you well.”
