Farming Druid - Chapter 129



Only Krnovel

129. Near here… .

The trees say that they fit well together.

It was a very pleasant feeling.

Isn’t that right?

When you buy a pretty dress for your niece and she likes it, the parents like it too.

It felt good like that time.

“That’s great. Abel—. In that sense, let’s learn Korean.”

At Haneum’s words, the tree’s eyes turned blank.

“What are you trying to teach the dog?”

“This guy can transform, too? And he’s a guardian dog. Then he must be pretty smart, right?”

“… … .”

Haneum spoke and placed a large picture book in front of Abel.

“Abel―. Would you like to study with your brother?”

At Haneum’s words, Abel looked up at the tree.

Those eyes seemed to be asking what to do with this clear-eyed doctor.

“Abel, do whatever you want.”

As soon as the tree’s permission was given.

Abel took off his clothes and threw them away.

He returned to the appearance of the Malamute he had seen in the yard.

Aooooooo―

Let’s make a small howling sound in the yard.

Haneum looked up at the tree.

“If I were to interpret, I would study at night. During the day, I have to go around and work.”

“… Really? Then let’s work for an hour each after dinner. Abel—. Yes?”

Haneum never gave up.

It seems as if he is determined to teach Abel Korean.

Both eyes sparkled.

The tree that had been looking at the sight in bewilderment chuckled.

“Can I not go see my brother?”

“Huh? Ah―.”

Haneum barely came to her senses after hearing the tree’s words.

“You were the one who said you wanted to use my annex as a doctor’s office. So. Stop teaching Abel Korean and just run the doctor’s office well.”

“… If I taught you Korean, we could have a conversation… But I have to use you as an interpreter all the time… Sigh… .”

ah-.

The tree noticed Haneum’s regret.

After quickly folding Abel’s clothes that were spread out in the living room neatly and putting them in a box,

Han-eum placed the Korean picture book she had brought on the sofa and headed to the annex.

“Is there a lot to prepare?”

“Huh? Oh. I have to organize my books too.”

“But did you find a nurse to help you?”

“Huh? I can do it by myself… Ahh! I guess I’ll do it now that I think about it. See you later.”

“Okay―.”

Haneum seems to have forgotten something.

I went to the examination room while thinking about something.

Abel had already disappeared from the yard.

He must have run into the forest again to listen to the ‘complaints’ of his friends who don’t hibernate.

“The ice wall on the cliff… I guess we’ll have to deal with it…”

Metropolitan Environmental Office.

Hansol Yoon, who works at the Natural Environment Division of the Ministry of Environment, received a phone call.

“Uh, so it’s a place where endangered species live. You’re saying that people go ice climbing nearby?”

Hansol diligently took notes of what the person he was talking about on the phone and then hung up.

Percussion-

Let’s just toss the pen onto the side of the desk.

I heard Ian’s voice across the diagonal.

“Mr. Hansol―. Have you checked the application for the CITES (also known as the Washington Convention)?”

“Ah—not yet.”

“Please check it quickly.”

“yes yes-.”

Yoon Han-sol clicked on the map to check the phone complaint while answering with his mouth.

The area where the complaint was filed was precariously under the jurisdiction of the Gyeonggi Environmental Office.

‘What a pity. Tsk.’

Hansol first opened the data to check for endangered species and natural monuments living in the civil complaint area.

Then, a piece of information caught my eye.

‘Huh? Here… .’

Hansol sighed at the thought of having to go out on a field trip on a cold day.

There were quite a few endangered species living near the actual ice wall.

And a few months ago.

It was a place that was once turned upside down due to many traps and snares in the Dogyeonggye Mountains.

Yoon Han-sol looked over the documents carefully.

‘Come to think of it… Dogyeonggye Mountain. It’s also strange that endangered species are concentrated here. Of the animals rescued from the Wildlife Rescue Center, more than 60% were endangered species, right? Maybe?’

After the rescue center treated the endangered species.

It was a document proving that the release was completed at the place of residence.

‘It’s cold… I should go out and check… .’

Hansol after lunch.

I started climbing up Mt. Dogyeonggye right away.

The clear weather gradually began to turn cloudy.

“Is it going to snow?”

After a quick on-site inspection.

It was Hansol who was thinking of going down.

The snow that had fallen a few days ago was seen here and there.

Wheeing―

eww-

Hansol opened his hiking clothes.

There was quite a bit of hiking to do in the Natural Environment Department.

Since Mt. Dokyeonggye, which is home to many endangered species living in Korea, was also subject to management, Hansol had to climb the mountain every quarter.

“I should hit him or something… Really.”

As we arrived near the ice wall, grumbling.

I could see people climbing up and down the ice wall, chattering and talking loudly.

‘It’s true… .’

Sasa-sak

When Hansol was looking at the ice wall.

I saw something jumping between the branches.

“Huh? What the— that guy—? Why isn’t he hibernating and wandering around?”

A flying squirrel that needs to hibernate during the winter.

What Hansol saw was the appearance of a flying squirrel belonging to the Cheongi species.

After your body has accumulated sufficient nutrients.

The animals that build their nests and sleep deep in tree hollows are the ‘squirrel family’.

The species just seen is a subspecies of the continental flying squirrel.

It is an endemic species growing in the Korean Peninsula and is Natural Monument No. 328.

If a flying squirrel is accidentally brought into human hands, it is a reportable species and you should contact the Environmental Protection Agency or a wildlife rescue center.

“No, kid, why are you wandering around instead of sleeping?”

Yoon Han-sol spoke to a squirrel that was running around, clinging to a tree, and looking at the ice wall.

It was very cute to see Hansol’s little head turning from side to side at the sound of his voice.

at that time.

“Isn’t that guy cute?”

Before I knew it, a tall young man was standing there, approaching me.

The young man extended his hand.

A flying squirrel jumped from a tree and landed softly on its hand.

“Key, was that the guy who raised you?”

“No way. It’s a natural product, so I can’t raise it.”

Hansol felt his ears relax as he heard the young man’s voice.

‘Wow—what kind of voice is that…?’

Hansol froze for a moment when he saw the young man’s face.

‘Fuck. Let’s not get close.’

Hansol took a step back from the young man.

The young man said, looking at the flying squirrel on his hand.

“I guess you woke up too because of the noise from those ice climbers.”

Hansol tried to laugh at the young man’s words.

Hansol’s eyes widened at the flying squirrel’s reaction.

Nod—

“So, the squirrel nodded?”

“Huh? Oh, really?”

The young man continued, smiling and patting the flying squirrel on the head.

“If they wake up these squirrels and their friends, the birds sitting over there, and even the snakes around, do you know how much harm those humans are causing to these guys?”

At the young man’s words, Hansol looked around and felt goosebumps.

On the floor, white sand almost silver was visible.

In addition, even poisonous snakes designated as natural disasters were visible.

Since it is a cold climate, all the creatures that sleep underground in the winter were spread out around Hansol.

“What, what is this…?”

Hansol couldn’t move.

Hansol thought of the poison possessed by those vipers.

Even though it was winter, it still had the poison it had from the fall, so being bitten was fatal at best.

“Those snakes, they should be hibernating this winter….”

The young man rubbed his arm and said, looking at the snake on the floor.

“Even those snakes probably don’t like this situation. The sound waves from the ice axes they use, and the way they walk on the ground, everything is a vibration.”

At the young man’s words, Hansol just rolled his eyes and looked at the floor.

The young man tried to move.

Hansol grabbed the young man’s arm.

“If you move and get bitten, you’ll be in big trouble.”

The young man smiled at Hansol’s words.

He released his hand from my arm and spoke quietly.

“This person will take care of it. Everyone go and sleep deeply.”

Swish— swish—

Shasasasak―

Thump, thump

Hansol couldn’t believe it.

The snakes that filled the floor and the birds that sat on the branches were like the words of the young man in front of me.

And even the flying squirrel I had in my hand disappeared somewhere.

“I wish you could solve the problem of ice climbing….”

Yoon Han-sol nodded without realizing it and said.

“Yes, I will do that.”

The young man said with his eyes forming crescent moons at Hansol’s words.

“I would appreciate it if you could do that. I just wish you could tell those people to come down first.”

“Ah―. Yes, yes―.”

Hansol took out his phone, made a call to someone, and ended the call.

“Call people… . Huh? Huh?”

Hansol looked around.

The handsome young man from a moment ago was nowhere to be seen.

“What, what is it? It’s the kind of thing a ghost would do… .”

Hansol felt goosebumps for a moment.

“Sure enough, you spoke next to me. But it’s not there. How on earth?”

Hansol was so flustered that he muttered to himself and collected his thoughts.

The lips of the young man who was watching the scene from afar while riding a wild boar formed a curve.

“Still, it seems like you’re a good worker. You even came out to the scene to check on me after only a short while since I called…”

The young man was a tree.

As complaints from animal friends increase rapidly.

The tree also had no choice but to call the Environmental Protection Agency’s complaint office.

However, there was a civil servant who broke the idea that he was only good at writing.

It was a coincidence that I ran into the civil servant.

I thought it wouldn’t come out in real life.

It was a tree that came out with animals, with the intention of slightly scaring humans who were ice climbing.

“It looks like the weather is a bit cloudy, so it might be snowing… It’s falling like this… .”

The tree looked up at the sky.

I frowned at the coldness I felt on the tip of my nose.

“It’s snowing… Abel. Make sure those people get down properly before you come down.”

Woof woof

After hearing Abel’s answer, the tree rode the boar and headed home.

Abel, left alone, looked up at the man frowning at the sky.

‘I’m sure there will be a lot of them…’

Abel looked up at the sky.

It was a day when it looked like it was going to snow a lot.

Around the tree house in Do-gyeong-gye, there was so much snow that it was buried in the winter, and there were just as many accidents.

Abel sat on his stomach with his head resting on his front legs.

I was looking at people.

Their work would be finished only after they all went down.

A large bag hung around Abel’s neck like a necklace.

These were emergency medicines and first aid kits that Haneum had prepared.

It was in case you get stuck in a lot of snow and people get hurt while going down too quickly.

Abel looked at them and thought.

‘Be careful and don’t get hurt… Go down… .’

Abel’s gaze was on the ice climbers.

The snow began to fall quietly and pile up.

* * *

The snow that was falling in the forest of Do-gyeong-gye quickly piled up.

People who enjoyed ice climbing were in for a surprise.

“How do you get down when the snow piles up like this?”

People who saw the snow piled up on the way down stamped their feet.

After coming down the mountain

People who were planning to go home after enjoying the hot sauna in Dokyeong-gye City.

The snow had already piled up to their thighs.

“What should I do?”

The team leader opened his mouth while touching the accumulated snow in response to the ice climbing team member who approached him cautiously and asked.

“Near here… .”
