Farming Druid - Chapter 92



Only Noblemtl

092. Was it like that?

The grandmother who had called Han-eum held the upper body of the tree, which was lying on the living room floor, unconscious and having a seizure, upright and hugged it tightly.

Pat pat

“It’s okay―. It’s okay, baby… … .”

Grandma started humming.

Hmm— hmm— hmm—

As Grandma started humming.

The leaves in the yard began to sway.

Did you hear the sound of the leaves rustling?

The body of the tree, which had been shaking violently, also began to gradually stop shaking.

Pat pat

How long did I hum and pat the tree’s back?

Grandma’s shoulders were bright red from the flowing coffee.

Waaaaa …

The long-awaited ambulance arrived, and the tree and grandmother headed back to Seoul, not knowing how long it had been since they had been home.

Abel barked behind the departing ambulance.

Woof woof—woof woof woof—(I’ll be watching over your house… Get well soon…)

Abel was frustrated.

It was the second time I saw the Guardian bleeding.

It spilled more seriously than the first one.

The moment I saw his complexion, which had turned pale and even pale.

Abel felt his heart sink to the floor.

The five cat brothers were also shocked and frozen.

“Brother Abel—is our butler dead?”

“Mr. Abel – Are you okay, butler? You’ll be okay, right?”

When the five brothers clung to Abel and meowed, Abel shook his head, saying he didn’t know.

Wheeing―

Abel and his five cat brothers’ fur was flying around.

I hope everything will be okay… … .

Abel prayed like this.

I looked up at the sky and cast a howl containing my wish.

The cries of animals echoed throughout the village, as if responding to Abel’s howling in the forest.

* * *

Professor Do Jung-ha, who saw the tree arrive at the hospital emergency room, quickly checked its condition.

Doo-ha Jung gave instructions to administer medication to lower the pressure inside the skull and even a blood pack, as the grandmother said she had lost a lot of blood from the nosebleed.

He looked at a resident standing next to him and gave instructions.

“Get an MRI as soon as possible.”

“yes.”

They quickly headed to the examination room, pushing a stretcher cart with a tree lying unconscious.

I went out into the hallway and headed towards the old woman who was holding her hands together.

“Grandma―.”

“Me, the tree?”

“We’ve given him first aid and sent him to the lab, so I’ll let you know when the results come out.”

“Yeah, yeah.”

“Grandma. Look at your cold hands. When you’re done with Han-eum, stay by Grandma’s side for a bit… … .”

“I just got here.”

He looked happy when he saw Haneum in the middle of the conversation, but Haneum’s expression was dark.

“What happened to Grandma Tree?”

In response to Haneum’s question, the grandmother told a story about what happened after dinner.

“Suddenly. While I was washing the dishes, the child fell backwards. Her eyes were completely unfocused. Then, blood started flowing from her eyes and nose… … She must have been surprised, because she struggled and then lost consciousness.”

“It was fine during the day.”

“He frowned occasionally while driving… … but I thought he was okay. He’s the type of guy who never complains about being sick when he’s with me.”

Ugh―

Haneum struck my heart.

“That stupid little teddy bear… … .”

When I heard that the results of the test I was taking were out, I quickly checked the results and then shut my mouth.

“Why? Why―is that so?”

I glanced at Haneum while answering my grandmother’s question.

I couldn’t believe it.

‘And yet you don’t have a fever?’

The tree’s brain was literally at war.

In addition to severe subarachnoid inflammation surrounding the entire brain, inflammation was also observed in the brain parenchyma.

It was a situation where meningitis and encephalitis occurred at the same time.

“At this point, it would be strange not to faint.”

Haneum spoke calmly while looking at the photo.

First, we had to control the inflammation with antibiotics.

“Tell them to do the recommendation.”

“yes-.”

After talking to the resident standing behind me.

Haneum approached the sobbing grandmother, grabbed her hand, and spoke.

“Grandma―. I think Namu will have to be hospitalized for a few days. I have the day off tomorrow, so go to Grandma’s house and get Namu’s clothes and stuff.”

“Oh, our grandson died?”

Haneum shook her head at her grandmother’s question.

“No – if you get treatment, you’ll be fine. Professor Do Jung-ha here will treat you well.”

“Uh, yeah, okay.”

Grandma got up from her seat and bent at a 90-degree angle again.

“Professor, please take good care of me.”

After saying hello, the old woman got up from her seat and trudged out of the hospital entrance and headed toward the garden where she had been with the trees.

After trying to stop Haneum from following along.

Grandmother sat alone on a quiet bench in the garden.

dump-

The grandmother muttered while looking at the sky.

‘It would have been okay if we just had a succession ceremony… … If it goes like this, do I have to borrow his strength?’

The plants in the garden continued to sing.

It was helpful to both hospitalized patients and workers by providing soft, wind-like singing sounds.

‘Thanks to your songs, the tree can endure somehow… … .’

Grandma slightly extended her hand forward.

As if someone were waiting for someone to sit on his finger.

at that time.

Wheeeeee―

The wind blew.

Before she knew it, a small, transparent bird had landed on her grandmother’s finger.

Piret-(Why did you call? Guardian.)

Grandma frowned.

‘Windy Rile—don’t be so stiff. I’m upset about my grandson right now.’

―Oh! You said your human grandson was sick? Hmm? This is… …Keuk, you called from here?

‘Why? Can’t I call you?’

―This is the Elquines district, the foodie district… … .

‘You were soaked in food?’

-Ah, I don’t know about the Guardian. That crazy guy made a contract with a human here.

‘What? The Water Spirit King made a contract with a human?’

―Yeah. And that guy sometimes spreads food in the spirit world. Wow… … If it’s really that delicious… … .

Before Windyriel could speak any longer, Grandmother held the beak between her index finger and thumb.

‘Windy Rile-. Who is the contractor you said you signed? I’d like to meet that guy right now.’

-Just wait. I think it’s here now.

‘Who? The Spirit King?’

-Uh. Behind you.

Chook―

Ugh, it’s cold.

Grandma looked back at the feeling of the water droplets splashing on the back of her neck.

A tall foreigner was standing there.

“Hello―?”

“… … .”

The grandmother looked at him with narrowed eyes.

“Tch—it doesn’t work?”

The foreigner was wearing a short-sleeved T-shirt and shorts, and had blue hair tied into a ponytail.

Grandmother looked at Windy Rile after seeing that sight.

The grandmother asked, twirling her index finger next to her ear.

“Why is he like that?”

A transparent bird. Windy Rile said with a shrug of her bare shoulders.

Pirot- Piririt- (Humans are fun, so they’re just wandering around these days without doing any work. Ahh- I want to sign a contract too. Because I want to wander around the human world.)

“You brought it up well. Let’s sign the contract when my grandson wakes up.”

Piririt-(I don’t like it. Your grandson is grumpy. No, he has a bad temper.)

The foreigner laughed at Windy Rile’s words.

“Ha― Where else can you find someone as spiteful and spiteful as my contractor… … No, he doesn’t even repay you for what he received. He’s a bulldozer that just rams you in twice or three times.”

-Are you always being called by that bulldozer?

“No way? I had a huge meal today and was just digesting it.”

Windy Rile and Elquines.

The grandmother was dumbfounded when she saw the two supreme beings, the Wind Spirit King and the Water Spirit King, arguing.

“Stop it?”

The grandmother stopped the conversation between the two and looked at the foreigner.

“It’s been a while, Elqui.”

“Yes, guardian of nature.”

The foreigner bowed to the grandmother and greeted her.

The grandmother, who saw that sight, looked at Elquinnes with a sunken look in her eyes and said.

“I’ll get straight to the point. Just give me a bottle of healing water.”

“What’s the price?”

For a moment, the grandmother’s expression became dumbfounded.

“… I think I helped you a lot… … ?”

“What are you going to do? You look fine. My treatment is expensive.”

Grandma’s eyes narrowed and she spoke sharply.

“The Spirit King is talking back?”

“No—I need to know what it’s for. I gave it to the contractor a while ago, so I need to squeeze out my own juice.”

At the mention of squeezing the juice, Windy Rile was rolling over on the ground laughing.

The grandmother opened her mouth calmly, pretending not to notice the sight.

“My grandson is very sick. I need treatment so that he can survive at least until the succession ceremony.”

“It is necessary… … .”

Elquines looked at his grandmother and stroked her chin.

There was a time in the past when the spirit world almost collapsed.

The old lady in front of me helped me.

After restoring the spirit world.

The Four Great Spirit Kings could not disobey the old woman’s words.

Human and non-human beings.

Guardian and representative of nature.

She was born and raised in the human world, but because she was chosen by nature and exerted much effort for nature, she was a special being who could travel between this and that world.

I heard that he got married, had a son, and then that son had a grandchild.

Hmm―

“You said only until the succession ceremony?”

“Yeah. If you feed him the healing water, the illness that’s been bothering your grandchild will go away. If anything, it would be nice if the time bomb in his brain could go away too… … You can’t do it with your own strength, right?”

Elquines shrugged in response to his grandmother’s question.

“My treatment is not a panacea. Tumors won’t go away. Aging and things like that… … .”

“That’s not necessary. If we do the ‘succession ceremony’, the ‘structure will be reset’.”

“Oh! That’s great. How great it would be if our contractors’ personalities were reset… … .”

“So your contractor is putting your ‘juice’ in drinks and giving it to people and stuff?”

Elquines kept his mouth shut at his grandmother’s words.

Because that’s what the contractor is actually doing.

He said it was good because the restaurant’s sales were increasing.

I knew that as much as fresh tears went into the drink.

“I didn’t feed you today because I thought it would be better not to eat it than to drink your ‘juice’, but I didn’t know this would happen.”

“I’ll tell the contractor. Feed him.”

After Elquines said that.

I walked past the smiling, translucent bird on the ground, pretending not to notice it.

The two spirit kings seem to want to fight.

Gained strength.

“Is it a hospital here?”

Grandma, let’s get excited too.

The two spirit kings quietly observed and disappeared.

-That personality isn’t dead.

– That’s right. So whenever that guy shows up, ‘Pin’ hides like a dead mouse.

“Just go quietly without whispering or being transparent. I’m so busy with my grandchildren.”

With one word from the grandmother, the two spirit kings turned into gentle puppies and disappeared.

Phew―

The grandmother thought of the restaurant chef she had seen during the day.

I was surprised when I took a sip of the drink my friend offered me.

This was because it literally contained the healing water of the Spirit King.

‘It was the size of a new claw, but it was only enough for the average person to recover from fatigue… … .’

Contractor of the Spirit King.

The supreme being looks down on humans.

A being that ‘never’ makes a contract.

But the grandmother’s eyes darkened when she saw Elquines walking around in human form.

‘That chef guy is usually so-so, but was it really like that?’

Rustle—

“Grandma—were you here?”
