Farming Druid - Chapter 132
Only Krnovel
132. Don’t you need to save it?
The birdsong at dawn was very loud.
The first thought that came to Haneum’s mind when she opened her eyes after falling asleep was annoyance.
Oh my―
Haneum opened her eyes and looked around, startled.
“This is… Ah!”
I laughed for a moment.
Did it feel like a common web novel cliche?
“It was an unfamiliar ceiling… . Is that so?”
Maybe because I was surprised.
My heart was pounding.
Pirorot – chirrut –
I could see the feet of birds jumping through the transparent window in the ceiling.
The bird lowered its head, opened its beak to see the sound below, and began to chirp.
Pirorot―
Haneum, who was watching the bird, couldn’t help but mutter.
“Wow— wow—. The countryside really is the countryside.”
Haneum woke up and went straight to the bathroom and turned on the water.
After a quick wash.
I cleaned up the area around my bed.
I put it back in the closet.
The room was as empty as yesterday.
Could it be said that it is a neatness that comes from the use of space?
Click—
Let’s open another closet.
Haneum’s eyes saw neatly arranged clothes.
“The use of space is really well done.”
Haneum took out her tracksuit and put it on.
I opened the back door of the annex and went out.
The tree was up and sweeping the yard.
“Are you awake?”
“Oh―. How was it sleeping in your new room, Mr. Joo?”
Haneum ended up chuckling at the tree’s playful words.
“Oh, thanks to you, I slept well.”
Haneum answered playfully.
I looked around.
The sun rose a little late on a winter morning in the mountains, but the surroundings were bright.
Woof woof
Abel, who was running from his old house, also seemed to be greeting them.
He ran into the yard, barking.
Haneum looked around and felt completely different from when she came to play.
“I felt this way sometimes when I came to visit… This place is really busy yet peaceful… .”
The tree’s eyebrows danced.
“What are you talking about?”
“It seems like the countryside has its own busyness, unlike the busyness of the city. You wake up at dawn and start your day by sweeping the yard. It looks peaceful, but it also looks busy.”
At Haneum’s words, the tree finished sweeping the yard and opened its mouth.
“Well―. Even if you live in the countryside, you’re still pretty busy. During the busy farming season, you’re busy with work… This winter, we have a vinyl greenhouse, so we’re a bit busy.”
The tree seemed to be pointing out things that needed to be done in the morning.
Han-eum was looking at her friend.
He opened his mouth with a smirk.
“I’ll go for a run around the neighborhood.”
“Uh―. What about your younger sibling?”
“It’s okay. Even at the hospital, they didn’t always monitor you.”
“Oh really? Go ahead. I have to go work in the fields.”
“Oh, good work.”
As Haneum left the main gate.
Abel ran after him, and the tree walked into the field behind the old house.
* * *
A country road that is not very bright on all sides.
Haneum started walking quickly to look around the place where she would be living from now on.
Hehehe―
Abel was walking along with me, not knowing when he would follow me.
The doctor was Han-eum, who believed that physical strength and endurance were the key to life.
It was Han-eum’s habit to wake up at the same time every day, even if he was tired or drunk the night before.
Morning exercise that turned into a walk with Abel.
There was one thing I realized while walking.
Since it was winter, of course it was cold.
The farther away from Namune’s house she got, the more extreme the temperature difference Haneum felt.
‘This is a bit extreme. The temperature difference is this big?’
Haneum felt cold as she walked, so she turned around and started walking again.
Woof- keow-
Abel’s barking caused Haneum to change her mind.
If you just run… .
From then on, Haneum started to jump.
Ta-da-dak
Abel also jumped to the beat of the one-note rhythm.
Phew— Phew—
Haneum and Abel took a big walk around the village and returned home.
I opened my nose to the delicious smell of food wafting from my old house.
Woof woof woof―
Abel seems to be in a good mood.
I headed towards the kitchen of my old house, nodding along.
Haneum, who had been looking at the back of Abel’s head for a moment, went into the annex to check on her younger brother’s condition and then headed to her old house.
“What’s for breakfast?”
“Huh? We’re not supposed to eat this?”
“…then?”
“Animal specials.”
“… … .”
Haneum closed her mouth at the tree’s words.
The fire in the stove is burning brightly and a delicious smell is wafting from the cauldron.
You’re saying this isn’t food for us to eat?
Then, when you think about it, who on earth is eating this food?
“I’m going to give this to the teddy bears.”
“Teddy bears?”
“Oh, those things that should be hibernating aren’t sleeping? They come here because there’s food to eat. They wake up and wander down.”
“What’s the content?”
“Boiled with pork and herbs.”
“Is it meat?”
“It’s just boiled meat, not seasoned at all. With herbs…”
Haneum thought to himself, ‘Is that what it means to be a herb?’
“Are you done with the field work?”
“Huh? I’ll prepare something quickly and eat breakfast since it’s at the main dining table.”
“Oh! Right. I’ll eat breakfast and go to the provincial health center.”
“I also have to go to the city hall, so let’s go together.”
“I see.”
Abel, who was watching the two people, stuck his tongue out and tilted his ears back.
I was happy.
Because whenever his friend was next to his guardian brother, his brother’s expression was so good.
It was when Han-eum entered the main building first and the tree followed suit.
Shiaat-
Something fell from the sky onto the tree’s head.
When a startled tree shrinks.
A rustling sound was heard from above.
As the tree reached forward.
The animal jumped slightly from the head and landed on the hand.
“Huh? You… .”
Black eyes that look like they have round obsidian stones embedded in them.
There are cute perked up ears.
It was a flying squirrel with its wing membranes barely visible between its pale gray fur.
The flying squirrel held on to the tree’s hand tightly and twitched its whiskers.
“Why did the guy who should be sleeping come down instead of sleeping?”
The squirrel’s small mouth opened at the tree’s words.
-I need to sleep, but I’m hungry.
I was shocked by what the flying squirrel said.
I remembered that although I had scattered enough food for other animals in Mr. Kim Yu-sin’s field, I had not properly taken care of my ‘squirrel friends’.
“Is that so? Then after eating a lot today, you’ll go and sleep well, right?”
Nod—
A tree that briefly looks up at a flying squirrel that is about 11-12 cm long and weighs 60 g.
‘Were there any nuts at home?’
Let’s enter the main building with the flying squirrel in our hands.
Han-eum’s eyes widened as she was eating breakfast in the main building.
“Is that a sugar glider?”
“No—a flying squirrel. It’s a strange creature.”
“A natural monument? Ahhh― But why did you bring that guy?”
“I’m hungry. I was hibernating and woke up because of the noise, but I couldn’t sleep because I was hungry. I’m going to feed you and send you off.”
Chorr-chok-
The flying squirrel looked closely at the person watching him, then stood up on two feet and flapped its front paws.
“Why is he like that?”
“If I may translate it, it would be, Doctor, nice to meet you.”
Haneum’s head tilted slightly at the tree’s words.
ah!
“That guy hurt his foot that summer.”
“Oh, right.”
Only then did Haneum realize why the flying squirrel was happy to see her.
Haneum’s voice, imitating the tone of a tree, was soft.
“Yeah – Nice to meet you too. Eat well here and go to sleep.”
Choreuk-
The flying squirrel made a noise as if answering.
“It’s so cute that I want to touch it.”
A single murmur.
Shh …
“Oh my―.”
The flying squirrel was bold.
The flying squirrel jumped from the tree’s hand to Han-eum’s shoulder.
The squirrel on his shoulder jumped up and down with Haneum’s hand.
The small body temperature of a flying squirrel on your hand.
A smile appeared on Haneum’s lips.
“You are so small and cute.”
Choreuk-
A squirrel holding a finger tightly and looking into Haneum’s eyes.
The other hand automatically reached out to the squirrel’s head.
Stop –
“Hey—can I pet you?”
“If that friend allows it, then touch it. Be careful.”
Haneum carefully stroked the squirrel’s head.
The texture of the fur is slightly stiff but soft.
In addition, I felt a faint but warm body temperature on my hand.
“It’s small but warm….”
Listening to the squirrel’s muttering, the tree filled a plate with nuts for the squirrel to eat.
Clang-
The sound of falling nuts made the flying squirrel turn its little head.
A mountain of food as far as the eye can see.
The flying squirrel jumped back into the bowl as if he was flying.
Chaak-
The flying squirrel that went into the bowl grabbed the peanut with its small, cute front paw and started eating it.
Bbeon bbeon bbeon―
I was gorging on roasted peanuts and walnuts (with the hard shells removed).
“You’re eating well….”
“Okay. Now, are you ready to go to the health center?”
The tree’s question.
“Uh―. Call me when you’re ready. I’ll go and stay with my little brother.”
“Okay.”
When Haneum goes out, a squirrel’s small eating show continues on the table.
There was a cautious movement under the table.
Minya- Whew Whew
Five cat brothers (second cousins and below, a collective term for siblings) were walking around the table with shining eyes.
“You guys―. If you catch that flying squirrel, Hyung-ah will send you to the health center.”
The cats were grooming each other, licking their fur as if they didn’t notice the tree’s subtle threat.
The word ‘health center’.
The five cat brothers heard a story from the house cats.
That place is a very scary place.
Meow―
Summer was watching the flying squirrel’s small eating show with only its head sticking out over the table.
I climbed up onto the table to get a closer look.
I watched a small creature eat.
My hunting instinct was stirred.
You can’t catch that guy.
The sharp claws kept trying to stick out.
Have to endure it.
Otherwise, my brother might get in trouble.
Summer was caught up in conflict.
Swish―
A warm hand entered between the armpits of his forepaws.
And then a hand that supports your buttocks and hugs you into a comfortable position.
“Summer— That friend said he was hungry so he was eating. Can you eat when someone is watching you?”
Summer turned her head at the tree’s question.
After patting Yeoreum’s head.
I put it on the floor.
“Do you guys know what this is?”
The cats’ eyes changed when they saw the tree in hand.
It was a rolling snack container.
The tree looked up at the table as it saw the cats screaming to be put down.
Almost all the nuts in the plate were gone.
“You—are you really hungry?”
Huh?
The flying squirrel’s cheeks looked like they were going to burst.
“Now that you’re a little full, go and have a nap. I’ll see you next spring.”
Choke- Choke-
Greetings from the little flying squirrel.
He called Abel and placed the flying squirrel on his head.
“Hold on tight to the hair or you might fall.”
At the tree’s words, the flying squirrel grabbed Abel’s fur tightly with its proud forepaw.
Woof woof
“Yeah – you know that friend’s house? Drop him off and come down and look at the house. Hyung-ah and Han-eum will go to Hyung-ah’s Dogyeonggye City Hall.”
Woof-
As soon as Abel answered cheerfully, the door to the annex opened.
Ta-da-dak
Abel quickly ran down the road leading to his old house.
Sabak-
I turned my head at the sound of footsteps and saw Haneum.
“Are you ready?”
In response to the tree’s question, Haneum showed a bag.
“What is that?”
“Wang Jin’s bag―.”
“…Are you planning to provide medical care to the elderly in this neighborhood?”
“Uh-. Most of the people who come to the annex to receive treatment come because of water sickness. I think I should go to the elderly who really have trouble moving. I heard that the family doctor in town sometimes makes house calls.”
“Really? Then shouldn’t we get a secretary or a nurse?”
