Farming Druid - Chapter 84
Only Noblemtl
084. Okay – I’ll make sure you don’t die.
A few days later.
The delivery date for salad vegetables to [SeeYou] near Korea University has been set.
After sprouting the seeds from Grandma’s magic storehouse.
If you plant them in the field, the vegetables will grow to a size that is ready for delivery in three days.
As for cabbage and some other vegetables, the cats were unable to harvest them.
After inserting the scabbard into the root.
Because I had to grab the torso and twist it as if I was throwing it away.
However, the cats helped with the movement.
Early morning on the first delivery day.
The tree quickly swept the yard.
I headed straight to the field to do some farm work.
Cats with boogers on their eyes followed the tree that was moving like dawn.
The delivery of salad greens required the harvesting of all but a few whole plants, requiring the trees to work hard.
Swish— swish— crackle— crackle—
The sound of me sheathing my sword and turning my body echoed through the quiet field for a while.
‘Didn’t they say that a staff member would come and take it away in the car in the afternoon?’
The tree first pulled out all the vegetables and neatly organized them in one place.
Sore-
I started having back pain because I worked with my back bent.
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeee―
The tree, which was stretching and turning its waist this way and that to look around, turned its gaze towards the rice fields.
I could see the rice plants gradually turning yellow and bowing their heads.
“When should I do the fall harvest?”
Phew―
When I entered the main building, thinking about the fall harvest.
There was something that caught my eye.
Around the field, cats sat quietly, looking at the leaves and moving their heads back and forth.
“If you guys are sleepy, sleep some more.”
Mi-mi-aang? (I, is that so?)
House cats have an internal clock.
They were a race that moved according to a set time zone.
Cats wake up early in the morning and ‘wootada’ with their hunting instinct.
The house cats would wake up at 4am and run around the field to warm up.
‘Sometimes, there were guys who would run around roaring… … .’
And then I fell asleep again at 5 and woke up at 8.
I had a brief, deep sleep.
But, since the tree moved during this deep sleep time, of course I would be sleepy… … .
The tree watched the cats squirming, took out its cell phone, and took pictures silently.
There were so many cute looks.
House cats have also turned into water cats that wash off their dusty fur during the day by going into hot springs at night.
Choaak―.
Namu, who had lightly washed his sweaty body in the open-air bath while working in the field, went inside the house.
It was just to have a light breakfast.
Tiik- Weeeeeing-
While choosing Americano among capsule coffees.
I took out the baguette that I had baked in the oven yesterday.
And then I got an air fryer from Professor Dojooha.
Tieng―
A simple, yet delicious breakfast.
Coffee aroma and crispy yet moist baguette.
Let’s have some bread and coffee.
It felt like the fatigue from the morning’s labor was being washed away.
Euaaaah―
I stretched and looked at the clock. It was already 9 o’clock.
Summer farm work had to be done at avoidable times.
If you do it wrong, you could end up with heatstroke.
Even house cats are lying around and resting in every corner of the house at that time.
Jiing— Jiiing—
[Cocoa Bank Deposit 28,350,452 won Depositor Joo Han-eum]
I got a text message this morning saying that the money had been deposited.
Jiying-
Haneum: I deposited the money for the pearls you gave me. Do you know that one black pearl costs more than 5 million won? Just four of them cost 2,000.
Tree: (Cat shaking head emoji) I know that the rounder it is and the darker the color, the higher the value.
Haneum: Is that so? My maternal uncle also said that after selling the pearl, he would often go down and treat his sea friends.
Tree: Are you interested in ashes? Lol
Haneum: … I can’t say no. I’m like that too.
Tree: Tell him to come when you have time. It’s hard for me to do it alone… … .
Haneum: Okay. I’ll tell you. I’m going for surgery.
Tree: Yeah, good job.
I opened my bankbook for the first time in a long time.
The balance was approaching 100 million.
The moment I looked at my bank account balance.
The tree sighed.
‘When I was working at a company, I couldn’t save money no matter how hard I tried. How can I come here and earn money like this?’
While checking the texts I had put off.
I read the text message that came to PD Choi Gyu-seop.
“Hmm―.”
The text came long.
There were times when I didn’t answer the phone while I was working, and a few days ago, I didn’t even have a guest come and go.
The tree was dumbfounded for a while after seeing Choi Gyu-seop’s text.
“Wow—what a sorry thing humans do to animals. This woman… … .”
Dong-A Land Jo Gwi-seop.
He said that he was moving on to a current affairs program after discovering that he had captured and sold several rare animals to buyers around the world through overseas poaching.
In particular, it is said that there was testimony in the records of the deceased Jo Yu-jeong that rare marine creatures were sold to rich people in the Middle East for extremely large sums of money.
The poachers hired to catch rare animals overseas are said to have contracted with Jo Yu-jeong.
“The same goes for killer whales… … If Dong-A Land goes under… … Will the animals naturally return to nature?”
Suddenly.
It occurred to me that Jo Yu-jeong’s cause of death was asphyxiation due to airway obstruction.
‘This… … requires a 1:1 meeting… … .’
The tree, recalling the snake, shook its shoulders.
I couldn’t continue avoiding it.
There is even a saying that the place you run away to is not paradise, but rather a hell.
‘Just don’t look at that sight… … Just don’t look at that sight… … .’
The determined tree went out onto the porch and looked up at the beautiful maple tree.
ha-
When we actually met, I hesitated.
“Abel-.”
Let’s call Abel in a quiet voice.
A huge dog appeared from somewhere along with the sound of footsteps.
Knock knock (Did you call?)
“I— I want to meet a snake… … .”
As soon as the tree finished speaking, Abel tilted his head and barked.
Keung- (I’m not home.)
The tree was reassured by Abel’s words, but when it came to mustering up the courage to speak, it couldn’t see the snake… no, it couldn’t see the snake.
“Where did you go?”
Kew-(That’s…)
The tree narrowed its eyes at Abel’s hesitation.
“You have something to hide?”
Woof woof – (No, that’s not it.)
“Hmm – then where did the snake go?”
Waruk―(I don’t know…)
The tree, which had been watching Abel for a moment, took something out of the kitchen.
Sniff sniff―? (Snack?)
Abel was a little embarrassed when he smelled the snack.
The Guardian was now wondering where the snake had gone.
However, the snake left the house after giving strong instructions.
Abel grumbled inwardly.
‘Why isn’t the Guardian looking for you? He’s looking for you… … .’
Abel will give up his snack and not speak.
Eat a snack and tell the snake whereabouts.
That was the problem.
* * *
The moment the tree offered Abel a snack while searching for a snake.
The snake was in a mountain in Seoul.
It was a mountain with a good view of Korea University Hospital.
‘Hmm, so the Guardian’s friend works there?’
After releasing his subordinates and killing the human woman.
It was to check for luggage that did not return.
‘The snake… … must have died. Humans are the kind of animals that either catch or kill a snake when they find one… … .’
The snake was lost in thought, flicking its tongue in a place where the Korea University Hospital was clearly visible.
Thinking of the Guardian.
The current guardian of my childhood was really pretty.
At first I thought the guardian was a girl.
Big eyes on an oval face.
Shining eyes and long eyelashes.
The faint scent of grass coming from that child’s body.
The child who was the guardian’s grandson was so cute like a snake.
I was surprised to hear that it was a boy.
Hannamu, the guardian’s grandson, acts dignified and never does anything mischievous.
That day I found out that I had become a snake.
I could see at a glance that this child was the one who would embrace all plants, animals, and nature as a guardian.
“Whew— heek— finally, finally. We’ve arrived!”
The snake, who was brought out of his thoughts by someone’s voice, shook his head.
Someone came closer and called out to him.
“Oh, captain… … .”
It was a snake.
I was happy, but soon my eyes narrowed.
“… I thought you were dead?”
“Wow—don’t be ridiculous. When the humans suddenly shoved something into that human woman’s mouth. How surprised she would be… .”
“I know. If you ran away well, that’s fine. Are you sure you’re dead?”
“He went into that human woman’s mouth, smothered her so she couldn’t breathe, and bit her with his teeth.”
“More than that. When you went in. How was it?”
“Ah— that’s right… … .”
* * *
The subordinate snake began to report to the python.
When I entered the human woman’s house.
He said he crawled around here and there and checked every nook and cranny of the house.
When I went down to the basement.
I saw a huge snake whose whole body was white and transparent.
“Who are you… … who came to this underground?”
I was surprised.
The moment the snake saw the giant snake.
I found out that it was an extremely rare specimen.
The transparent scales covering the body, which was so transparent that you could see the inside of the bones, were so beautiful that you couldn’t stop looking.
“Hehehe. Why is that?”
“Uh… … Ah, no.”
“By the way, have you been here long?”
The giant snake’s eyes opened at the question of the subordinate snake.
“Well―. I don’t know how long that bitch kept me locked up… … .”
“Joe, please wait a moment.”
“Wait? Baby― If you wait any longer… … this body will become a beautiful stuffed animal.”
“Oh, stuffed animal?”
“Look around… … You’ll know what I mean… … .”
After speaking, the giant snake coiled and put its head inside.
“… … .”
The snake moved around cautiously.
?!!!
Before his eyes were dozens of stuffed animals, caged and screaming.
It was terrible.
The snake had no idea that humans could be so horrible.
When you feel your anger stack gradually building up.
Click—
A female human entered the basement.
The woman was stroking a stuffed animal that looked like a rabbit with her hand and humming something about it that made her happy.
Then he stood in front of the place where the giant snake was trapped and opened his mouth.
“Our pretty one is so pretty and beautiful―. Just like ‘that man’… … I found out where he lives, and soon I’ll have to make him stop ‘that time’ too, right?”
The snake’s mouth opened for a moment.
Among the words I just heard.
Because it took several things.
‘That man.’ It could mean the guardian.
The captain said so.
He said he came to the human woman’s house because of the guardian.
Besides, that human woman just now said that even a beautiful snake can stop time.
The snake followed the human woman cautiously.
Sitting on the sofa, shaking out my wet hair.
The snake was waiting for the human woman to yawn.
Haa- kekeke-
The snake went straight into her mouth.
Length 30 cm. Diameter 2 cm.
If someone saw it, they might call it a baby snake.
The snake naturally went down the human woman’s throat.
A snake that digs right into the trachea at the crossroads of the esophagus and trachea.
The human woman struggled to get up, struggling for breath.
‘Yes – I’ll make sure you don’t die. Just like you did to the beautiful woman and the other animals.’
The snake opened its eyes fiercely.
In prayer, I turned my body so that my head was turned towards my mouth.
Heuk- Heuk-
Human women live a little.
To breathe.
I heard someone calling.
He said it in a raspy voice.
The snake can breathe properly in her airway.
It was conditioned to suffer for a long time.
Suddenly.
The snake felt very warm.
‘But… … It’s pretty warm here… … .’
