Farming Druid - Chapter 135

135. This was shown.

The cats watched the tree’s movements in the old house’s kitchen.

They were talking to each other.

“Brother, what are you making today?”

“It smells so good, I wonder if they’re making something really delicious?”

“Ummm―. I want to play with that firework butterfly―”

“You got scolded by your brother for doing that. That’s not right!”

One of the five cat brothers.

The second summer, the youngest, and the tree that felt the gaze of Gyul-woo.

“What are you guys doing here?”

-Hyung, what are you making today? It smells delicious.

Let’s ask summer as a representative example.

The tree opened its mouth after looking into the kitchen.

“Ah. Today, I’m going to make fried mackerel, vegetable salad, clear clam soup, kimchi, oysters, and boiled pork… I have some things for you guys too.”

oh!

The cats’ eyes grew wide and their whiskers curled forward.

The five brothers began to grumble as if they were in a good mood.

“Tell them that I’ll play with the house cats and give them a special treat in the evening.”

The cats all nodded their heads in unison and answered ‘Ooh-‘ to the tree’s words.

The tree’s lips curled up in surprise at the cats’ actions.

‘So cute… .’

Pirorot- Pirorot-

In the old house, in the kitchen, where the ceiling met, a small bird’s head was crying while looking at a tree.

Mrs. Park Sae’s daughter.

Did you go somewhere and come back home?

I came to say hello.

―It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you, Guardian.

“Yeah― Did you have a good trip?”

-Yes! On the way to the border, I saw bears, deer, wolves, and tigers.

The tree was evenly coating the body of the mackerel with tempura flour.

I stopped my hands and looked at the sparrow.

“What… did you see?”

-Huh? Ah- Bear, Wolf, Tiger.

“Tiger? Where?”

―Not long after passing the iron fence guarded by humans, the tiger’s fur was white.

“… You’ve had a hard time.”

The tree heard the bird’s words and said that it had suffered.

He took some rice out of the cupboard, put it in a small paper bag, and placed it on the floor.

-Wow! I’ll eat well.

After leaving the sight of the bird pecking away diligently.

The tree began to move its stopped hand again.

‘The white tiger was in the north?’

If we put together the story we heard earlier, it meant that there were quite a few rare animals in the North.

Animals that move cautiously, avoiding human eyes.

The tree decided to ask an animal that knew the situation there.

Choaaaaaaah―

The mackerel, coated in egg wash and breadcrumbs, began its oil bath.

‘I’ll give this to the cats…’

The fried food given to the cats was unseasoned.

Because they are guys who live on the streets.

I also occasionally looked for fried food.

Cats that have tried fried food once sometimes ask for fried food as a special treat.

The tree was frying them to suit their taste.

Besides, it was an excellent ‘cat paw’ that helped out with farm work.

I thought it was worth doing this much.

The tree’s gaze turned to the side.

Bubble bubble—

Rice was being cooked in a cauldron on a small stove.

The scent of freshly cooked rice.

Let’s gently and softly brush the tip of your nose.

It seemed as if the stomach was rumbling on its own.

‘It’s still a long way to go until dinner…’

Red dots all over the kitchen.

It was recording the tree’s behavior.

While I was preparing dinner.

Haneum sent the caregiver who was looking after her younger brother home from work.

“You worked hard today too.”

“Oh my―What are you talking about? Then I will go first.”

“Ah― When you park tomorrow, please park in the empty lot next to the doctor’s office. Don’t go any higher than that… .”

“Yes? If you go up a little, it’s wide and there’s no snow, so I parked there… Did the landlord say anything?”

The caregiver was a bit quick on the uptake.

Haneum nodded.

Then the caregiver seemed to understand.

He nodded as if he understood and left the hospital.

Han-eum, who was watching the caregiver’s back, went into the room where her younger brother was lying.

“Hey, sleepyhead. Your brother is here.”

Haneum patted her younger brother’s head as he lay down.

There was still some moisture on her hair, as if the caregiver had washed it.

Every time I saw my younger brother, I felt sorry.

What is your birthday?

The reality that my younger brother was now lying down and my mother was on a long journey to heaven was a little heartbreaking.

“Hanwoo-ya. Now open your eyes and let’s live here with my friends in nature, taking care of animals.”

Tiik―

“huh?!”

A popping sound was heard from the device that was drawing the EEG graph.

Haneum’s eyes, which had been quickly checking, quickly sank.

The EEG graph was silent again.

As if the sound just now was a mistake.

The sound became quiet.

ha-

Haneum stared at the device for a long time.

I looked at my brother’s face again.

A face that resembles oneself.

The sleeping figure, which resembled his mother’s more, looked like a prince in a sleeping forest.

Sigh-

Haneum seems to be wondering what he is thinking.

I muttered to myself.

“Little brother—I see your favorite flying object here when you’re bored. You said that when you were little. You wanted to raise a flying squirrel.”

Han-eum continued speaking while fixing her younger brother’s hair.

“But there’s no need to raise it here. If my friend calls, it just flies across the sky and lands on my hand. So… Hanwoo…”

Han-eum, who had been looking at her younger brother for a while, held Han-woo’s hand tightly.

On top of the hand he was holding, Han-eum’s other hand gently patted his younger brother’s hand.

As if a mother were gently waking up her child.

I wanted my brother to wake up.

* * *

When Haneum wishes for her younger brother to wake up.

The tree first distributed fried mackerel to the house cats.

The cats cheered at the sight of fried mackerel.

Although they occasionally grilled fish on a griddle, it was extremely rare for them to be fried.

Omnyumnyum-

The tree smiled at the sound of the cats meowing.

“yes-”

“Wow – this is delicious – I wish I could have something like this every day.”

“Woong―”

The expressions on the house cats’ faces seemed to hold the world.

The tree sighed lightly when it saw such a happy expression on a single piece of food.

“I envy you guys… It’s nice to see you being thankful and happy over little things.”

“Wow― Guardian Hyung-ah, you’re also grateful and happy for the little things every day―”

“That’s right. My brother looks happy when he picks the vegetables that are being delivered. I heard him say something like this.”

A house cat grabbed a cabbage from a tree with both front paws.

By making a turning motion.

A small triangular mouth opened.

“Cabbage—you’re so strong. Let me twist your body—”

The tree burst into laughter at the cat’s words.

“You’re saying that while I’m harvesting cabbages?”

yes-

Several of the cats nodded in response.

A part of the tree’s heart began to flutter as it watched that sight.

I can communicate with little cats.

Experiencing the world they see indirectly.

Above all, isn’t the sight of her eating with her small mouth open cute?

Besides, it looked cute that he ate everything that was given to him.

“Brother―. Among the friends in the forest, there are many who are sleeping… When are you going to wake up?”

A question from a cat.

The tree reminded me of the time when sleeping animals wake up.

The tree, seeing the cats’ bright eyes, opened its mouth as it looked at them.

“It’s around the end of January in the lunar calendar. It would probably be around the beginning of March in the solar calendar…”

In response to the tree’s answer, the cats spread out their small front paws and made a counting motion.

Even that appearance was cute.

“What is the lunar calendar?”

“…therefore.”

When cats try to explain things in an easy-to-understand way.

The water boiling in the stove came to mind.

“Ah. I’ll let you know when I get back from dinner. If it’s not enough, I’ll make more, so eat.”

Nyaa―

Miyaaaaa―

After hearing the cats’ answer, the tree quickly walked towards its old house.

A cloud of steam was billowing out through the cracks in the cauldron.

It was water for boiling vegetables.

Blanch the washed bean sprouts and spinach in water, then rinse in cold water.

When it’s time to remove the moisture with a vegetable dehydrator.

Haneum asked as she entered the old house’s kitchen.

“Can I help you with that?”

“Huh? Welcome. Let me crack some eggs.”

The tree handed over three or four eggs laid by a couple of chickens who did not cry to Haneum.

Then, Han-eum broke an egg into a stainless steel bowl.

The tree began to stir with the chopsticks it had given him.

The red light in the kitchen was capturing the scene.

Haneum cast his gaze on the visible red dot.

“Am I going to be on your YouTube channel now?”

“Why? Do you want to come out?”

“That’s not it… .”

“Just tell me. I’ll let you out whenever you want.”

The two people are having a trivial conversation about everyday life.

After finishing preparing dinner, we sat down at the table.

Haneum, who was looking at the table, glanced at the tree and opened her mouth.

“Sometimes I have strange thoughts.”

“which?”

“When I was in Seoul, I was almost exhausted and didn’t eat anything, but when I see him come down here and make things, raise things, and take care of things… isn’t it amazing?”

The tree also agreed with Haneum’s words.

In Seoul, I walked around pickled in salt like cabbage, a salty fatigue.

I enjoyed coming down to the countryside and making food with the crops I grew myself.

When I’m alone.

It was also quite fun to make special food for the house cat and the five cat brothers.

When Haneum, my friend in front of me, comes down.

It was also fun to make a delicious meal and treat my friends to it.

I used to pass the dishwashing off to my friend.

“Well, cooking is fun. Also, it was fun learning Korean food from Chef Kang Si-hoo of [SeeYou], and learning at a cooking school was also fun. It felt good to cook for you and hear you say it was delicious.”

Let’s reveal our true feelings to Haneum.

Phew-

“I told you that JJ is so funny, and you’re laughing? You’re doing the dishes today.”

“Khuhuh― Okay. I’ll do it.”

The two continued their dinner bickering.

Abel was sitting not far from the two men, eating a meal of fried mackerel, mashed vegetables, and rice mixed with dog food.

Snap—

A strange cry came to Abel’s ears.

I stopped eating and listened to what I heard.

A cry I’ve never heard before.

Abel felt a chill run down his spine.

‘What kind of animal is it? I know all the animals in this forest… Is it an animal that came from another region?’

Abel tilted his head and finished his meal, then said goodbye to the tree and said he had eaten well.

I ran into the forest.

Ta-da-da-dak

After running for a while, Abel looked for other animals to find the source of the crying.

Kurururaaaang―

Abel jumped back with a creepy feeling.

Slippery―

Abel’s feet slipped and he looked defeated.

Oops―

I forgot that there was snow piled up.

The creepy sound was getting closer and closer.

I don’t know what it is, but a tingling sensation runs down my spine.

Abel looked straight ahead.

Two round pumpkins appeared.

Abel opened his eyes wide and realized that it was not a pumpkin.

?!!―

Grrrrrr―

Abel lowered his body and showed his teeth to the approaching thing.
