Farming Druid - Chapter 78



Only Noblemtl

078. Have you ever seen it? Why?

As he listened to Chef Kang Si-hoo’s words, Namu swallowed his saliva without realizing it.

Gulp―

I waited with a nervous expression to see what he would say.

“This salad… tastes exactly like the one we sell at our store. It’s exactly the same. Just add some sweet potatoes and sprinkle a little salad oil on it.”

The tree, hearing those words, let out a light sigh without realizing it.

ha-

What on earth is this nervousness?

I never felt this nervous about giving a company PPT presentation.

“however…….”

ah-.

I think I know what you’re going to say.

There will certainly be talk of crop harvesting schedules for health reasons.

“I’m a little worried about whether the farmer’s health will allow him to meet the delivery schedule.”

As expected―. It’s coming out.

Well, it’s even stranger that I’m speechless after seeing that bloody sight.

In addition, the [SeeYou] salad has become so popular that it has become a hit.

Since those two people moved to find vegetables to put in there, it is only natural that they would think about the health of the farmers who grow the vegetables.

It didn’t matter whether I sold salad greens or not.

If you can’t make a contract, you can either split it between Hong Saimdang and Yun Bo-ra’s house, or just send it to Han Eum and Professor Do Jung-ha’s house to eat.

The tree, having thought that far, opened its mouth.

“… I understand that you are worried about my health, but I have always been very consistent with my attendance while working at the company. This is because it is an illness that can be managed by occasionally going to Seoul to get tested and get medication.”

The tree glanced at Dojoongha and Haneum while speaking.

Neither of them said anything.

They kept quiet because they knew this was something between me and Chef Kang Si-hoo.

“… … .”

“To be honest, I don’t care if I collaborate with [SeeYou] or not. I can live here while my grandmother is traveling, and while she’s tired of corporate life and relationships, I can take care of the animals that come to me and sell them on the farm direct transaction site.”

Shihu’s eyebrows twitched at the tree’s words.

‘Where is this farmer? When did he say he wouldn’t sign the contract? Why is he so impatient?’

While Shihu was thinking like this, the tree read his expression.

“Well, even if I don’t sign a contract right away, I have a place to live and money coming in. Whatever Chef Kang’s thoughts are, I’m fine with it.”

The tree smiled.

Seeing that smile, Shihoo felt a slight pain in the back of his neck.

“… I didn’t even mention that I wasn’t signing the contract. I just said that I was worried about whether I could meet the delivery schedule.”

The tree smiled inwardly at Kang Shi-hoo’s words.

Although he was young, I liked the way he was strong-willed and didn’t talk nonsense.

“Are you saying you will sign the contract as long as I can meet the delivery schedule?”

The tree already knew that the young chef in front of him was caught up in his words.

He asked with a smile.

Because I could clearly read the satisfaction and surprise on her face after eating the salad. It was a calculated remark.

Shihu’s answer was heard.

“Yes, I’ll look around the field.”

“Okay, then let’s go to the field.”

The conversation between the two people left the rest of the crowd holding their breath.

The two people’s speech was ordinary.

The momentum I felt was enough to make me shrug my shoulders.

Ha-yoon understood Shi-hoo’s decision.

From the perspective of running a store, a change in taste could have an impact on sales.

I liked that the salad greens tasted exactly like those sold at [SeeYou] stores.

‘By the way, the owner of this house’s field is also like Shihu… … It’s not like you can dig up crops in the fields of this world… right?’

Hayoon realized her thoughts and ended up chuckling.

* * *

As soon as Shi-hoo and Ha-yoon saw the field.

I was surprised.

I saw salad greens growing fresh.

The freshness of vegetables packed with moisture.

Just by looking at it, you could tell that the vegetables themselves were fresh.

Shihu was looking around the field and feeling something different.

‘The temperature is different… … .’

The sky was clearly midsummer weather.

There was something different in Shihu’s eyes.

It felt like nature was surrounding this field and regulating the temperature.

I looked at the landlord again.

The man standing there as if he knew nothing was talking to Hayoon.

Shihu examined the field in more detail.

Nying- Meow- (Today too- we work-)

Meow meow – Niao meow – (I’m working for the Guardian)

The lyrics of the cats’ song were clearly heard in Shihu’s ears.

‘Guardian? What’s that?’

Shifu watched the cat running away, shaking its butt, hiding in a field that was not a salad patch but rather a field of other crops.

He called out to Yul in the shadows, whispering.

“Yul-. Can you ask the kids something?”

-Yeah. Don’t worry.

Slurp-

A pitch-black cat leapt out of the shadows and ran into the field.

at that time.

“Winter―.”

The landlord was seen running quickly towards Yul.

“Huh? Huh huh―.”

Shihu was embarrassed.

Yul, who had already been grabbed by the scruff of the neck, was seen being held in the landlord’s arms.

“Huh? You’re not my cat. Where do you think you came from?”

-Put me down. I’m not a cat.

“… … .”

Yul, who was struggling, looked up at the tree and was startled.

-Huh? Why does this person smell like the forest and water… no, the wind and the earth?

Sniff sniff— sniff sniff sniff—

Yul, who had been sniffing the scent coming from the bosom for a long time with his mouth open.

He opened his mouth and looked at the tree as if he knew its identity.

-Druids? Humans… Guardians of nature?

Shifu and Yul were overlooked.

That there was someone listening to Yul’s voice.

After patting the cat’s head a few times in my arms, I quietly placed it on the floor.

The black cat ran towards Chef Jiang Shihu and shouted.

– Shihoo! Shihoo. That guy is a Druid. A guardian of nature!

Shihu was surprised by Yul’s words.

Shihu looked at the landlord.

When their eyes met, the tree shrugged.

“Meow―.”

I heard a voice calling me in a soft voice.

I raised my head.

He sat with his back turned so that Shihou could not see him and spoke in a whisper.

“I don’t know where you came from, but… … what you said a little while ago. Does that mean Chef Kang Shi-hoo understood everything?”

―???!!!

Yul was surprised.

-Uh, how… … .

The tree knew from the cat’s reaction that Shifu was hiding something.

‘That gentleman must have known… because the cat spoke so loudly. It might have sounded like a meow to other people.’

Shihu was lost in thought, looking around the field with his arms folded.

Next to him, Team Leader Joo was looking at the sky with a dumbfounded expression.

The tree that saw that sight.

A line was drawn at the corner of the mouth.

‘What on earth are the two of you?’

The tree narrowed its eyes at Kang Shi-hoo and Joo Ha-yoon.

Kkueek- Kkueek-(Guardian! Are you a Guardian?)

A wild boar ran down into the field in a hurry.

The two people who were watching the field were startled and were preparing to run away.

The tree shouted at the boar.

“There! Stop!”

The boar seemed to be momentarily stunned.

I stood still.

Shi-hoo and Ha-yoon’s eyes widened when they saw that sight.

“You two. It looks like you’ve had enough of looking around the field. Go inside the house. I’ll be right back with you.”

The voice was calm and polite.

The two nodded in agreement.

“…yes.”

As the two men left the field.

The tree looked at the boar and asked.

“What’s going on? I clearly told you not to come down today… … .”

Kkeuk- Kkeuk- (A person… falls off a cliff…)

“what?”

It is said that a wild boar discovered that a person had fallen off a cliff while hiking and ran down quickly.

There were some guidelines for forest animals to survive in the mountains with the help of trees.

Among them.

1. Avoid people when you see them.

2. If a person is bleeding and lying on the ground, tell the tree or Abel.

The tree, whose mind had grown cold at the mention of a man falling off a cliff, looked at the boar and spoke quickly.

“First of all―. Can you call one more of your big friends? We can move together.”

Kkuek-(Yes.)

“You guys can walk and run faster than people can.”

Kkweeeeek―(Yes― I understand.)

A wild boar runs into the mountains to call his friend.

The tree ran quickly towards the house.

* * *

People were seen waiting for the tree on the porch, but the tree was sitting in the living room, Professor Jung Ha-ha and Han Eum.

I called two people.

“Han-eum. And Professor. I think you should go into the mountains for a moment.”

The tree’s expression looked urgent.

I wondered what was going on with that expression on his face, so I asked him again.

Let me explain the whole story.

Professor Do Jung-ha looked at Han-eum in surprise.

“what?”

Haneum grumbled and laughed at the tree’s answer.

“Oh my― Anyway. When you come to my house, you’re saving lives and animals.”

Haneum carried the medical bag on her back as if she was used to it.

He had a bewildered expression on his face as he packed his medical bag.

Namu, who saw the two people packing their medical bags, looked at Sihoo and Ha-yoon with an apologetic expression.

“You two. Excuse me… Could you please wait here for a moment?”

“Ah- yes, someone fell, so we have to wait. What can we do to help you… .”

The tree shook its head at Shihu’s words.

“I’ll see you when I get back. Oh, if the 119 rescue team arrives, please open the door.”

“All right.”

After hearing the two people’s answers, the tree

I called Abel loudly while grabbing two cushions and two cat harnesses from the living room.

Woof woof—woof woof woof—(I’m going!)

Haneum was leading Dojungha and running into the field.

The tree left a message for Shi-hoo and Ha-yoon to rest comfortably in the living room and ran towards the field.

“… … .”

“… … .”

Two people left alone in the yard.

We faced each other in the quiet yard and went into the living room to sit on the sofa.

“Brother—let’s clean this up.”

“Huh? Huh.”

“But… … What did Yul say in the field? Druid? Was that right?”

Shihoo nodded at Ha-yoon’s words.

“I think so. There’s water in the kitchen sink. When I was washing vegetables with that water, I saw a higher spirit.”

“Wow – so this landlord, or rather, the manager, was the protagonist of a fantasy novel?”

“Then am I also living in a fantasy?”

“Ah? Oh. Right. Well. Ahem―.”

Ha-yoon knew Shi-hoo’s secret.

Shihu continued speaking, looking towards the field.

“There was a video of someone walking around with their face mosaiced on shorts. Have you seen the video called ‘Gangwon-do Druid’? Bro?”

“Have you seen it? Why?”

“It’s probably that guy.”

“Who is this? Representative Hannamu Nongju?”

“Yes – I understand all the animals’ speech. Even Yul’s voice.”

“That’s amazing… … .”

“But, it seems like you still haven’t heard the voice of the spirit, not even the wind spirit.”

At Shihoo’s words, Ha-yoon tilted her head slightly.

“No― but you know. How can a Druid have nosebleeds and look so sick?”

At Ha-yoon’s words, Shi-hoo shrugged his shoulders and shook his head as if to say he didn’t know.

Niyaang-(Are you talking about the guardian?)

The two cats in the room came out into the living room and cried.

Meow- Meow- (Sit down. If you stand, you won’t be able to get on my knees.)

Shi-hoo opened his mouth while looking at Ha-yoon, pretending not to understand what the cat was saying.

“Hyung—let’s clean up a bit and sit down and wait… … .”

“okay.”

The two of them cleaned up the slightly messy living room.

I sat in the living room and looked outside.

It was quiet.

The sound of leaves rustling.

The sound of birds chirping in the distance.

There was a gentle breeze blowing and it felt cool.

The atmosphere was so relaxed that I almost felt drowsy as I leaned back on the sofa.

“It’s nice. The atmosphere here. I think this kind of leisurely atmosphere is also nice… … .”

“I know…….”

Shifu closed his eyes to the blowing wind and enjoyed this time.

I don’t know where it was, but I felt like my mind was at ease.
