Episode 105

It’s hot, sweaty and humid.

‘ah.’

I came out as if possessed, feeling like I had to drink something quickly.

And then he picked up a cup and drank it in gulps.

“Ugh!”

The tangy and refreshing taste of lemonade woke me up.

Using the aura to spread the Manseonggong and draw blood produced excellent results. However, my stamina also decreased.

‘I’ve never written anything like this before.’

I learned something new. No matter how much I use Aura and Manseonggong, it doesn’t mean I can move without limit.

It was an obvious fact, but one that we were not aware of.

Because I’ve never written it like that before.

I’ve been exhausted pulling out weeds before, but I didn’t use my aura then.

In short, this was a first for me.

‘It feels empty.’

I feel empty, perhaps because I have lost both my physical strength and my aura.

But that doesn’t mean I felt bad or anything. It wasn’t completely empty.

The more dirt there was, the cleaner the field became.

Didn’t you drain all the blood there? A lot of it.

“Haha! He really is doing one hundred things by himself.”

“Why don’t you try farming instead?” I was so happy that the old man and the village chief stuck out their tongues and said that.

As much as the piled up blood and weeds.

“Even if you said you’d come to help me with this, I didn’t expect much since you’re from the city, but I’ll have to give you double the daily wage. Kick kick!”

“it’s okay.”

Plus, I think I’ve become a little closer to the owner’s grandfather.

Is it because of Kim Jung-hyun’s friendliness? No, I can’t really feel it yet because it’s something that’s possible just with my social life.

Well, it’s okay if it’s not.

“Ugh. This is so hard.”

“But you did a lot?”

“Not as good as the boss. You’re really good at it, aren’t you? You seem to have talent… … No, is it just that you have good stamina?”

“Well, maybe both?”

“Aha~!”

Hansong-i also came over and lay down next to me, as if she wanted to take a short break.

It seemed as if he didn’t care whether there was dirt on his back or not.

Then I just turned my head and admired the blood and weeds I had pulled out.

When I see things like that, the whole world seems like a wonderful and curious child.

Oh, Lee Seon-ah arrived before me and was already lying down and resting.

It seemed like Hansong had better stamina. She must exercise every day, so why?

‘There was a reason the village chief wanted to make me exercise.’

It seems like the basic physical strength itself is weak.

“Ah~ I feel like I’m going to die! This feels really cool. Why is it cooler than before? The ice has melted.”

“I think it’s because my body is hot.”

Hansong said, taking another sip of the drink she had before starting work.

After all, drinks that you drink after working for a long time are bound to taste sweeter and more refreshing… … .

I looked closely at the appearance of that one flower.

‘Your expression is tired, but your aura has brightened.’

It was really interesting how he was drenched in sweat and had difficulty raising his arms.

It seems that the feeling of healing that I had just felt wasn’t just a feeling, it was real.

Is this the sacred power of labor that has come down from ancient times?

I turned my head and looked at the fields.

Almost half done.

Sarararaak~

A breeze blew from somewhere and the rice plants swayed, making a pleasant sound.

Maybe it’s because life on land has become more abundant.

“huh?”

As I was thinking like that and looking at the field, I felt a strange sensation. It was a strange, ticklish feeling.

It’s as if someone is whispering… … !

I thought it felt familiar, but then I realized that it was similar to Ssuk-Ssuk talking to me.

But isn’t Ssuk-Ssuk-i too far from here?

Even if it was delivered by the wind, it was too far.

Then what if?

Naturally, my eyes turned to the rice plants in the field.

‘Did you talk to me?’

Shake~ shake~

This time, there was no wind, but the rice I was looking at was shaking. Was the rice really talking?

what?

It’s not like I grew it by watering it or giving it an aura… … .

‘Maybe because of the friendliness?’

Even if you have the same talent, it becomes a little more special when influenced by Manseonggong.

Perhaps, then, the phenomenon that has occurred now is also the result of the influence of Manseonggong’s affinity.

Because that’s the only talent I’ve developed recently.

‘I can’t believe I’m becoming friends with crops and not people.’

Should I say this is good?

Anyway, it was a bit strange. Of course, it was thanks to the blessing, but it was still amazing to be able to converse with nature outside of the cafe.

The sound of the rice plants saying thank you sounded even more pleasant.

and…….

Sarah~

An aura emanated from those rice plants.

I thought maybe he was giving talents like the guests, but it was a little different.

shower.

Yeah, that expression sounds good.

The wind blowing from the fields and rice paddies poured out its aura like the waves flowing in the shower, and soon passed by as if washing away my sweaty body.

In that moment, a refreshing and light feeling that I had never felt before soaked my whole body. In addition, my body, which had been sagging until just now, was filled with energy.

“… … I emptied it and it quickly filled up.”

It’s also clearer and has more aura than before.

I came here purely to serve, but I received an unexpected reward.

I’m already looking forward to seeing what kind of effect this will have.

however,

“Wow. That expression seems really strange. Can I use it in my work?”

“Huh? What.”

“It was emptied and then filled~ That’s it.”

Why is this person like this again?

I was muttering to myself, but Han Song-i, who was next to me, heard me and suddenly got up and started making strange noises.

Fortunately, before I could respond to that, another voice cut in from the side.

“I guess I’m starting to feel a little hungry.”

“Newbie!”

“Keep on going! Okay. I need to eat some fresh food.”

The owner’s grandfather told us that it was time to eat some fresh seafood.

Then, Lee Seon-ah, who had been lying down as if dead, suddenly got up.

The old man laughed, thinking that even that appearance was cute.

The village chief shook his head.

‘I’m also a bit excited for the new season.’

It seemed like my stamina had returned thanks to the aura that the fields and rice had just given me.

But apart from that, the urge to leave remained.

Well, it would be strange if you didn’t feel hungry after working so hard.

All I ate was lemonade and limeade, which were great for recharging my sugar levels, of course.

Boooow~

“Haha. Here it comes.”

A small truck arrived, as if we had already called.

An old woman got out of the truck that stopped right in front of us.

“Oh my, young people are having a hard time.”

“She’s my daughter. She runs a restaurant in town.”

She was the owner’s grandfather’s daughter.

The woman looked at us, clicked her tongue, and got out of the back of the truck carrying a large basket.

“… … Did you happen to get the number of people wrong?”

“Ahh~ If I eat it, it all goes back in again.”

“ah.”

No way.

No matter how well I eat, I don’t think I can eat all of that.

Since Lee Sun-ah and Han Song-yi, who were already drooling, didn’t deny it, I just stayed still.

There was definitely enough sheep to get sick of, but I also felt like I could really eat it all.

Because what was in the basket were noodles and boiled pork.

I also saw some makgeolli.

“Sleep! There’s bibim and soup, so eat as much as you want.”

The saying goes that the basics are two bowls.

Sweet and sour spicy bibim noodles with various sliced ​​vegetables in a bright red sauce!

Well, we have warm noodles with a rich and fragrant anchovy broth!

Even though it wasn’t a restaurant and they served it roughly in a bowl, my mouth started watering.

“This is homemade kimchi. I grew the cabbage and peppers.”

The boiled pork was served with kimchi. This also looked really delicious.

The meat is moist and tender, and the kimchi looks different from the others, from the color of the meat to the soft and chewy texture.

‘Ajumma’s restaurant, it must be quite delicious?’

Just looking at this made me think so.

“thank you for this food!”

“Okay, Dad, you should eat quickly too.”

Then we all just sat down on the street and started eating from the bowl.

First, I tried the Janchi Guksu.

Slurp!

“Hmm~”

A snort comes out on its own.

The broth was exquisite, with a deep, savory flavor and soft noodles that weren’t too thick.

It wasn’t much, but I felt like I could finish it all, even the soup.

“Wow~! The bibim noodles are really delicious! How did you season them?”

“Haha! The young lady knows how to eat. She is the best in our house. The seasoning is of course… … a secret~”

“Hehehe. Could you please tell me a little bit?”

“Should we think about it if you become our daughter-in-law?”

“Oh! Do you have a son?”

“Yeah~ You’re 10 years old now. What do you think? Are you going to wait 10 years? I guarantee you the character.”

“Ahaha!”

The non-communicative banter between Song-i and me made the new rice cake taste even better.

The owner’s grandfather and the village chief also laughed.

Of course, Lee Sun-ah was busy eating one more serving of boiled pork at that time.

Why does this guy eat so well?

Aang ang!

“Here. You have a bite too. It’s not much.” He gave some of the fat from the boiled pork to Baekgu, who was sniffing around next to him and smelling the meat.

And I also wrapped it in kimchi and took a bite.

It was just as I saw it with my own eyes.

It was chewy and soft, perfect with kimchi.

“Would you like a glass of makgeolli too?”

“Oh, yes. I’ll just have a drink.”

“Okay, okay. Just don’t eat too much.”

While we were eating boiled pork, the old man offered us a glass of makgeolli in a bowl.

I can’t stand this now.

Actually, I thought about it a lot while eating pajeon when it rained last time.

I don’t eat a lot, but since it’s a combination, isn’t it an inevitable combination?

It was such a shame, but I couldn’t refuse it today because it was a more delicious combination.

As the sour yet refreshing makgeolli went down my throat, all the hard work from pulling out the weeds disappeared.

Of course, it couldn’t compare to the Aura Shower.

Is that why? I really only had one drink.

I didn’t really feel like drinking any more.

Instead, I filled my stomach with bibim noodles and a piece of boiled pork.

Slurp!

It’s really delicious.

It makes sense that bibim was the best-selling dish.

I should go to the restaurant and buy some food later.

“By the way, I saw some people in the canal on my way here. Do you know what they are doing?”

The lady who had been watching us eat with pleasure suddenly remembered something and asked the village chief.

The village chief tilted his head after hearing that.

“People? Are they foreigners?”

“I thought so because of the way it was dressed.”

“Well, I haven’t heard anything specific.”

When you’re in the countryside, it’s strangely easy to tell outsiders apart. Should I say that everything from the way they dress to the way they act is a little different?

If a lady or village chief who has lived here for a long time saw it that way, there is a high chance that it is true.

But they are outsiders… …Why?

“Are you doing anything weird?”

“I don’t think so, but I’m not sure. I just saw it in passing. Should I ask when I leave?”

“Well, I’ll go and see later.”

It seemed like the conversation would go more smoothly if the village chief went to that kind of thing.

I finished eating my lunch while listening to the conversation that led to the village chief’s decision to go.

It was slower than the first time, but I still felt like I could really eat it all.

‘I have to eat a lot. There’s half left.’

Of course, that means there’s still half the work left to do.

But now it seemed like it would be done soon. My aura was filled and my stomach was full.

“Okay~! Now that you’ve eaten, let’s do it again.”

The village chief stood up first.

It seemed like he wanted to finish work quickly and go to the place he had heard about from his mother.

I woke up right away too.

It was time to draw blood again.

* * *

After work, I came back home and sat in a cafe, feeling dazed.

Probably not only me, but also Han Song-i and Lee Seon-ah.

No, maybe it’s worse than me… … Anyway, the work is done.

I ate too much seaweed, so my body actually became heavy.

‘I’m done digesting it.’

By the end of it, digestion was complete again.

I must have beaten the bruises a bit, and I was thinking of going home since it didn’t look like any guests would be coming today!

“Sir~! Did you hear that?”

Suah came home from school.

I have some interesting news too.
