Farming Druid - Chapter 73



Only Noblemtl

073. It doesn’t fit―

Haneum opened her mouth as if she had made up her mind.

“What? A snake was found in the prayer room?”

“Uh— I heard that Jo Yu-jeong was holding her own neck and sobbing when she was brought in. She was fine, but when they were trying to intubate her to secure her airway, a scream burst out of the mouth of a first-year resident.”

While listening to Haneum’s words.

I felt like my hair was standing on end.

“That first year of residency must have been a real mess?”

“Oh. They say that a normal child suddenly screamed and ran away while pulling out his hair after seeing someone bleeding and injured.”

“… That’s understandable. Who would have thought that a snake would jump out of a prayer? Look, I’m just listening.”

Let’s roll up our sleeves and show it to Haneum.

I could see the hairs on his skin standing on end.

“Ah, you had a phobia.”

“Oh― snake phobia. But then I heard that a snake came out of the windpipe. Oh my―.”

The tree rubbed its arms wildly.

It was terrifying just to imagine.

It was a tree that deeply empathized with the feelings of the first-year resident who ran away.

If I were next to you, I would want to hug and pat even a kitten.

I thought it would be like when a snake suddenly fell from the sky.

‘You fucking snake. Huh? Wait a minute… … .’

After talking to Abel.

I’ve never even seen the shadow of a snake near my house.

I knew from the beginning that he was avoiding me.

however…….

?!

no way?

The tree covered its mouth with one hand.

I remembered the story I had told.

“Please tell me not to let snakes crawl around my house… … if I want to see them go to the hospital.”

Let’s think about it that way.

In another sense, it started giving me goosebumps.

It seemed like a one-on-one interview with the snake was necessary.

“Wow—it’s refreshing.”

The two people who were talking in the old house’s kitchen raised their faces at the sound of a low-pitched voice.

“Professor―. Are you done washing up?”

“Oh, Tree-kun. This place is really nice. I never imagined I would be soaking in a hot spring while looking at the sky. I didn’t know I would have this kind of luxury… … .”

“I’m glad you liked it.”

“If there’s one thing I regret… … I wish I could have had a beer in the hot springs.”

I looked at Haneum.

“Why? Look at me.”

“Professor, this guy always asks for beer whenever he goes to a hot spring.”

“okay?”

“Uncle, in the middle of winter, if you go to a warm place and have a beer, it’s a really refreshing experience.”

“Because it’s winter… … it has a different charm.”

I looked up at the tree in the way.

The tree that met his gaze seemed to know what Professor Dojoo Ha wanted.

“If you have both hands full and just pay a moderate amount for the annex, you are always welcome to visit, Professor.”

When I started whining, this time Haneum looked surprised.

“Hey! Should I do that too?”

“You are a worker. My servant.”

Hahahahaha―

Professor Do Joong-ha burst into laughter.

“It’s nice to see you getting along so well with Haneum.”

“We’ve been enemies since elementary school. What?”

“Hannamu. If you keep doing that, I won’t help you.”

At Haneum’s words, the tree scratched the back of its head and smiled innocently.

“No. I appreciate your help. My friend.”

Do Jung-ha was also smiling as he watched the tree and his nephew bickering.

* * *

The tree that woke up at dawn was sweeping the yard.

Lesser-

The door to the annex opened and Professor Do Jung-ha, wearing a training suit, came out, stretching.

“Did you sleep well?”

“Oh, you’re waking up early?”

“Since I came down to the countryside, I’ve had to wake up early. And I have to prepare meals for my family.”

“Family?”

At the words of the middleman, the tree looked back.

When did we all gather together?

The cats came out into the yard and were all stretching.

From the kids in the cat house.

The sight of all five cat brothers coming out into the yard and looking at the tree.

It felt like I was watching a movie.

What’s more shocking is the cats’ behavior.

Niyaaaaang―

All the cats looked at the tree at the same time and meowed as if greeting each other.

Then the tree also greets them.

The cats disappeared from the yard, each as if they had something to do.

Dojohan rubbed his eyes to see if what he saw was right.

“Where did all those cats just now go?”

“Ah—I guess I went to the fields and mountains.”

“… … .”

What do cats do when they go to the field?

I had a feeling that I might be destroying the field along the way.

Lesser-

Haneum, who had built the magpie nest, yawned and came out of the annex.

“Did you sleep well?”

“Oh. You woke up early too? I thought you’d sleep better since this isn’t a hospital.”

“If you sleep late here… … the cats will come and wake you up, or Abel will come and wake you up. You just have to wake up on your own.”

“Hoo- really? I want to get a morning call from cats too.”

“Oh, right. Your uncle liked cats, right?”

“Oh. I haven’t been able to think about bringing it in since our willow tree crossed the rainbow bridge.”

A sparrow landed in front of the two people talking.

Pirorot – Piririk –

At the sound of something being said, Haneum looked up at the tree without realizing it.

The sparrow flew up again to the tree that was sweeping the yard, pretending not to notice.

He climbed up onto the tree’s shoulder and tilted his head.

Doojoong opened his mouth with a pleased smile as he saw that sight.

“Tree corps. I thought about this yesterday too, but it’s nice to see your animals following you so well.”

The sparrow climbed up onto the tree’s shoulder.

I wanted to talk about the fight I had with my husband yesterday.

Pirorot- Piririk- (Guardian. I really don’t get along with my husband.)

While the two people went to wash up.

The tree asked.

“Um… …What is the meaning of a husband, ma’am?”

Beep-(Lotto.)

“yes?”

Is what you just heard true?

You said lottery, right?

Beep beep beep (My husband is my early lottery ticket.)

“…Isn’t it great if it’s the lottery?”

Beep beep (not right)

“What’s wrong?”

Pirororot―(Even one is not right.)

hmm…….

What should I say?

The tree simply listened to Mrs. Park’s story.

However, if you look at it, you can see that even in the birds’ homes, there are fights between couples.

It seems that it is impossible to avoid fighting between couples during the early stages of life, whether it be in the womb or in life as a cat or a dog.

Piririk- Pirot- (Guardian, I have a favor to ask…)

“Yes? What favor?”

Beep-(Take me.)

“Who?”

Beep beep beep (take that bastard away!)

The titmouse was bouncing up and down the tree’s shoulder, pointing at someone with its wings.

Beep- Beep- (Huh- Right. Why are you doing that to the Guardian? You.)

When the two pairs of birds are about to fight.

The tree opened its mouth quietly.

“If you two keep fighting, I’m going to ask you to leave this house.”

Beep?

Pirorot?

The two magpies were momentarily taken aback.

The tree has never shown its strength like this before.

“If you don’t fight, you don’t have to go out. Please don’t fight. I have to greet my guests, so I’ll leave now.”

The two birds faced each other, looking at the backs of the trees heading toward their old homes.

“Honey, did the Guardian just get angry?”

“Huh? Huh— I felt it too.”

“How did you get into this tree, you can’t get out, it’s the guardian’s beautiful tree that took three years of subscription to the bird union… … .”

At her husband’s muttering, his wife, Park Sae, also beat her chest with her wings.

“You have to be careful… honey.”

“Ahem— I see.”

Pororon-

The two couples flew into the sky.

It was to let the birds around know about the Guardian’s mood today.

The Park couple became overnight stars near the tree house.

Living closest to their guardians and seeing many things, the surrounding birds were envious of the tit couple.

Hwarut-

The wood was lighting a fire in the cauldron stove and cooking rice.

Since there are three people, prepare rice and side dishes in a cauldron.

Rice, side dishes, and soup were served on a wooden table made in the old house.

“Abel—can you call him over and tell him to go eat?”

Kkung-(yes)

Abel ran and looked around the fields and rice paddies and found two people walking.

Woof woof—woof woof woof—

When Abel barked, Haneum tilted her head.

“what’s the matter?”

When Haneum asked, Abel gently bit and pulled on his sweatpants.

“Sir, no way.”

Haneum started running, her voice turning white.

After that, I ran along the way.

“One tree―.”

Haneum, who ran in a hurry, gasped for breath and called out to the tree.

The tree came out of the old house’s kitchen holding a spatula and looked at Haneum.

“what’s the matter?”

Haneum was relieved to see the tree intact.

“No—I thought something was wrong when Abel tugged at my trouser leg and told me to come.”

“What’s going on…? I called because it’s breakfast time. Ah— Professor, come here too. Eat.”

The tree led the two into an old house decorated with a dining table.

Do Joong-ha was surprised to see the neatly arranged side dishes on the table and the steaming rice and soup.

“Did you make all this yourself?”

“Yes, I don’t know if it will suit your taste, but please have some.”

“This is a feast.”

I looked at the side dishes placed on the table.

Seasonal eggplants, bean sprouts, and green leafy vegetables were added, along with pickled peppers, cucumbers, and peppers.

A whole fish, golden and crispy, was placed in front of each person on a plate.

When Do Jung-ha picked up his spoon and started eating rice.

The tree and Haneum also picked up the spoon.

“I’ll eat well.”

“bon appetite.”

Eating breakfast in the clean country air while enjoying a country meal felt so delicious.

He, who usually doesn’t overeat, quickly finished a bowl of rice and then opened his mouth.

“Can I have one more bite?”

The tree scooped up another bowl of rice at Professor Dojoo’s request and placed it in front of him.

‘Really… … This is the first time I’ve tasted something like this… … .’

After a satisfying breakfast.

For Do Jung-ha and Han-eum, Namu served coffee and baked bread from the oven as dessert after the meal.

He went into the room and packed a large basin and medicine to treat the aquatic creatures, and put them in the back of the car.

Haneum, who saw the sight, came closer and opened her mouth.

“Are you going to the sea first?”

“Uh— I think I’ll be tired if I go up the mountain behind the house. And I have to go quickly so I can greet the [SeeYou] guests.”

“I see. Then I’ll talk to my uncle and explain what I’m going to do from now on.”

“uh-.”

The tree sensed that Dojooha’s actions had become more urgent.

I don’t know what Han-eum explained to Professor Do-jung-ha.

Professor Do Jung-ha’s expression as he packed his bag was one of excitement.

There was a boy with a curious face.

“Tree Army. Is what Eum-i said true?”

“yes?”

“You can see things like dolphins and finless porpoises.”

“I think you need to treat it as well as look at it… … .”

“Let’s go. Let’s go.”

Professor Do Jung-ha did not believe what Han-eum said.

But let’s look at the round pearl that Haneum showed us.

I was so surprised that I wanted to experience it myself.

I wanted to receive a gift from the animals that repay my kindness.

If someone saw it, they might say that I was interested in ashes, but it was also pitiful to see the marine life being put in a situation by humans.

“If you’re ready, let’s go. Han-eum, you drive my car. And you, Professor, ride in the back of my car.”

“Uh-uh.”

* * *

Upon arriving at the sea, Professor Ha was shocked.

As soon as the tree appears.

I saw black dots approaching from afar.

“Are those… … all dolphins and whales?”
