Chapter 691 – 684 Cheblip, the Village by the Mountain
The stable at the time Hwanyeon was being sold.
Anne, who repaired her wagon with the help of Cheve Leaf’s Ranch, was proud of the neat appearance of the carriage and shook hands with the Cheve Leaf’s Ranch who helped her.
= Thanks to you, I fixed it like new. I had a hard time. =
= Oh, tell me something. How helpful it was thanks to the soul knight who solved everything that the three or four kids had to stick to.
The Yinli beaver man respectfully held Anne’s hand in her glove and bowed her at the waist.
=Now, this is material cost and this is repair cost. There is also a wagon repair skill I learned thanks to Mr. Ranch, so I put in a little more as a reward.=
A whopping three ten silver coins. It was a lot of money to make a normal wagon.
Money is money, but for another reason, the ranch jumped up and hit him on the head.
= No! How much did I learn while repairing Seongjenim’s state-of-the-art wagon! I didn’t even think there was such a technology in the world! Rather, I have to pay for the tuition!=
= Yes? Will I receive tuition?=
Anne laughed and joked, but aristocratic jokes do not seem like jokes to the common people.
= Deposit. Here it is!=
= No no! Because it’s a joke! Now, Seongje-nim warns that you should receive as much as you work, so take it quickly.
Surprised to see her ranch really pulling out of her pocket, Anne took her ranch’s hand and squeezed three shiny silver coins with her own power.
= Oh, my gosh…=
Past middle age, the ranch, whose brown fur is graying, has become very embarrassing.
He really had no intention of getting paid. He sincerely respects the spirit priests, but it is absurd to receive money from someone better than such spirit priests.
At that time, a young carpenter brought from the workshop whispered in his ear, and the farmer pricked up his round, small ears and looked back at Anne with a happy face.
Anne, who often follows her Hwanin and sees such a reaction, tactfully blocks her attempts at the source.
= You don’t mean to give what you received as a donation, right? Our Seongjenim likes to get donations from the rich and the rich, but he doesn’t like this kind of thing. And, like high-ranking adventurers and explorers, he is a person who breaks through the labyrinth, so 3 silver coins are not a lot of money.
= Ego…=
Anne, who had sent her ranch people back, feeling apologetic, stretched her body to the fullest in her exhilarating sense of accomplishment, and tidied up her messy surroundings.
The remaining wood is collected for firewood, and the land dug up and disturbed during work is meticulously restored.
‘Well, then…’
Tak-tak, I washed her hands with holy water and went to Yurpa’s workshop.
Smart.
= It’s me Is there a young inside?=
= There is what’s going on?=
Ah-young, wearing a plain shirt and pants, opens the door and comes out.
Looking through her purple hair, she saw a room littered with materials and plans, books and scrolls.
And Yurupa, sitting in the middle of such a room, looking back with a towel stained with oil and ink.
Anne put her hand on her Ayoung’s head and patted her, asking Yu Lepa.
= Yul’s older sister. How far did she go with that wed cotton study? I heard the other day, I think I heard that tattoo work is enough.=
= I am testing the body’s rejection reaction by carving it little by little. Why?=
= Come to think of it, her mother is from the royal family of Turcion. Since Turcion is famous for its magic, she thought that there might be something she knew about it, so she went to ask. Do you want to go too?=
=I want to go!=
=Sister!=
Yu Lepa jumped up and took off her sleevelet as if she hadn’t even thought about it, and Ah-young clung to her arm and swore with her teary-eyed eyes.
= I will follow you for the rest of my life… !=
= Yes, yes…=
For some reason, I am embarrassed and my conscience is pricked. It’s no different than doing something bad to Ayoung because she wanted to own Doryeong’s tree flowers all by herself…
The superficial reason is that she does not know how the two arboreal painters will affect his body, but Anne has always accepted it as if Ah-young is suffering because of her own selfish greed.
The reason why she couldn’t give up even though she was so self-aware was her desire to monopolize him.
‘Eww…’
Angered by Ah-young’s naive reaction, Anne quickly took the two of them to find Shuna De.
= Mother. I have a question… Why is Yeoni there?=
Hwanyeon, who has become somewhat tolerant of herself these days, but who doesn’t show her appearance well because she’s not very good to people she’s seeing for the first time, quietly gives her hair and lets her brush it?
Besides, what are those clothes? Their gaze captures the illusion of a sad expression.
Sitting on a handkerchief of the finest lace folded in half, in a white and blue frilled dress.
Wearing white over-the-knee socks and shiny white ankle-strap shoes, the figure was so cute and adorable.
It was Hwanyeon who always wore only light clothes because he didn’t like the messy things, but to see him even wear a dress…
“There~!”
Beep!
Norn is also running around the room with Siloo, wearing a pretty green dress that only covers her knees and her hair up like a princess.
Hwanyeon responds gloomily to the surprised gazes of the women.
“… Hwanin sold me.”
The three of them held back their laughter at her reply, her face half rotten. I don’t know what happened, but seeing Hwanyeon complaining like that, it must be nothing serious.
Anne entered her room and said with a smile.
= If you don’t like it that much, run away. Why are you doing that? =
Hwan-yeon tried to turn her Pac-head, but stopped at Shuna De’s gentle touch, frowning arrogantly.
Why didn’t she think of running away?
Fortunately or unfortunately, whether it was good or bad, Hwan-yeon has similar tastes and tendencies to Hwan-in in many ways. When she was just born, even her way of speaking was so similar that even women complained.
Now that her self has been established and her personality has developed, many things have changed with him, but if there is anything that has changed, there are things that have not.
Just as her Hwanin was weak to a woman full of maternal love, she was also very weak to a woman like Xuanade.
She herself knew that only now.
She combed her ebony-smooth hair with a comb that would suit her, even if it was her handiwork, and apologized, starting to braid her hair with her delicate hand.
= Whoop whoop. I’m sorry for forcing you to hold on.=
Even if she says she’s sorry, she doesn’t seem to have any intention of letting go. Hwan-yeon looked disapprovingly at Suana De, who braided her hair like her princess, with her really happy face, but then she resigned herself.
“It’s okay…」
If that’s the case, there won’t be any problem. Anne scratched the back of her head before getting to the point.
= Mother. Do you know something about arboretum?=
= Um~ To what extent? Don’t stand there, come and sit down. Yurpa and Ayeong are also sitting. Tyrene, will you prepare cookies from Hmilton and tea from Harvil?
=Yes, madam.=
=Let’s talk after the preparation for tea time.=
After a while, when tea and very luxurious sweets were prepared and her yolk also sat down at the table, Shuanade, who was almost finishing the braiding of Hwanyeon’s hair and giving her final touches, asked.
= So. What kind of flowers would my daughter be curious about?=
=Is there anything bad about concentrating two or more trees on one person?=
= Of course? You said Yurpa knows a lot about medicine, right? How should I use the medicine?=
=… It has to fit the usage. If you use less, you can’t see the effect of the medicine, and if you use too much, the medicine can turn into poison.
= That’s right. What will happen if I mix Instreem’s forget-me-not flower juice with Yoltvaria’s evening primrose powder?=
=… It’s extreme poison. A plant-based natural poison that dies without even taking five steps…=
At Ah-young’s firm answer, Shuanade smiled and praised = correct answer.
= Fleur’s body, which has become a tree, is a medicinal herb for her companion. If my daughter is a forget-me-not, Ayeong is a moon-viewing plant.=
=That, was there a case recorded?=
No matter how you look at it, it looked like an actual experience, so Anne swallowed her saliva at Chuanade’s quiet nod.
= This has only happened once in the past thousand years. A terribly sad tragedy befell her sister who fell in love with a man of a rare race.
A long time ago, there was a man who fell in love with her sister. The man sincerely cared for and loved her sister, and her sister raised a tree as if to reciprocate the love.
As a result, the man slowly became addicted to his sister’s essence for 20 years, and when he noticed the strangeness, no one in Merianol was in a state where he could not use his hands.
The outside was fine, but the inside was so changed that it could hardly be called a human being.
Change is not always a good thing. Cancer is originally a part of the body, where cells lose their normal regulatory function and proliferate indiscriminately, penetrate into the surroundings, or promote the formation of new blood vessels.
A calm voice continued to flow from Shuanade’s cherry lips.
=If one person consumes the essence of two people, it causes changes in the body. That’s a change that even 9th grade divine healing and 9th grade occult time rewind can’t do. It is safe to say that it is an incurable poison.=
=…=
=…=
Yurpa and Ayoung seemed to be barely breathing in the seriousness. Anne glanced at them and threw a question again as if urging Shuanade.
=Then, is there any way not to do arborization?=
= Unfortunately, nothing is known so far. Breaking through the labyrinth and changing one’s race with that wish, not loving the other person, etc., But those aren’t methods, are they? Mom knows that your tree planting has been happening for the first time in 90 years.
“It looks like you’ve been researching the arboreal phenomenon all along. Knowing that period means that you have been focusing on arboretum all along.”
At the story of Hwanyeon grabbing a soft milk-flavored cookie and eating it, Chounade smiled softly, finished the final braid, and let her Hwanyeon’s hair down.
Sararak— black hair of fantasy that shines and elegantly flows as if reflecting light.
It is a hairstyle that has a natural perm and two braids that started from behind the left and right ears are gathered from the back of the hair and tied up like a rose, giving a neat and cute look.
Since she was wearing a pretty and cute dress, she was literally overflowing with cuteness, so the women couldn’t take their eyes off Hwanyeon even while they were having serious conversations.
=The Tower of Blue Leaves has been researching tree flowers all along, but it wasn’t a good intention.=
= That… What if?=
= There was a time when trees were hunted as evidence of betrayal and corruption of the tribe. Its traces have been passed down until now and have hardened in the form of research on arboretum.
Ayoung and Yurpa couldn’t open their mouths to the story. How do you know that so well? Maybe Shuanade-sama…
Hwanyeon, who thought the same thing, furrowed her eyebrows.
“Is Shuanade an extremist?”
=Love makes a person extreme. In that sense, I am an extremist.=
When you see him smiling brightly, it’s obvious that he’s joking, but he can’t help but laugh. Is this a fleur joke?
Anne apologized to Yu Lepa and Ah Young with her sorry face.
= I’m sorry. They say there is no way.=
= Oh no! It’s a story that if I became a tree, my brother would have a big problem. Rather, thank you for drying it, sister.=
Chua Anade, who was watching the conversation between the two with a smile, tilted her head slightly.
= Uhm~. Mom didn’t say she had no way ~.=
= Huh? She said that there is no known way to avoid weed cotton =
= Right. But her daughter asked how not to wed cotton? =
=… No. Under…=
As she looked at her mother, who smiled at her mother, Ah-young asked a question excitedly and earnestly on behalf of Anne, who was holding her forehead.
= Oh, how is it? I’ll do anything, so can you teach me!=
= Whoops. The point is that two arborealists do not have a bad effect on the opponent. Of course, I will teach you in detail. But saying I’ll do anything is something her virgin shouldn’t say.
= Ugh… Sin, sorry.=
Suanade scolded her child with her supposedly stern expression, then smiled softly again and raised her index finger.
=This is what mom will teach you. Blood manipulation.=
=Blood manipulation…=
Curiosity spread out of control on Yurpa’s face, and Ayoung’s expression became solemn as if she would definitely learn.
“…”
Hwanin, who was holding the glass bottle containing the jewel rat and continuing the circulation of aura and heart core, threw his gaze out the window that was gradually getting dark.
Hwanyeon is late.
She said 4 hours ago she was supposed to fly in and hit her even though he couldn’t by his prediction. Besides, there is neither Yurpa nor Ayoung in Yurpa’s studio. Even in her stable, there are only carriages that have been fixed, and Anne has disappeared somewhere.
Isilitte, who was preparing the ingredients she bought with Baekryeo Kang in her kitchen, asked.
= Master. Shall I visit Anne?=
“No. Soon it will be mealtime for her, so she will be in touch or come back.”
=Yes. Then I’ll start preparing dinner.=
“Request.”
Hwanin did not think deeply.
If she had to go somewhere or be away for some unavoidable reason, she would have left a note at least. Anne, Yurpa, and Ayoung are all so smart, there’s no way I wouldn’t have thought of that much.
As expected, the women returned with the Grappaden couple when Isilite and Baekryeogang were almost finished preparing the live meal for dinner.
= Son-in-law. How about a drink tonight? There is clean liquor.=
“When it comes to alcohol, we also have something that is not bad. It will be a unique flavor to the father-in-law.”
= I’m very looking forward to that. Oh! My eyes are happy to see so many colorful and diverse types of food. I am amazed at the skills of Isilite and Ligang again!=
= This food looks very neat. Oh my, how can the scent be so clear and strong…=
As the Grappardens went inside, Anne came in with the women and gently waved her hand at her phantom.
=Doryeong, we are back.=
“Did you two go?”
= Yes. Ah-young came to her mother to listen to her advice on the wed cotton matter. =
=Baby, the preparations will be finished tomorrow, so you can look forward to it.=
Looking at Ah-young at Yu Lepa’s confident assertiveness, she is unable to speak and her face only blushes, then hides behind Anne.
When the three of them went inside, the living room quickly became crowded, but Hwanin was unable to enter the living room.
It was because of the illusion of staring at him with the ax eye in front of him with his hand on his waist.
Her gaze was as if she was asking, ‘What words do you want to leave before I die?’, So Hwanin gave her a small bitter smile and supported her with the palm of her hand.
“Sorry. I couldn’t take my eyes off my mother-in-law.”
“Do you know how betrayed I felt?”
“I have nothing to say.”
Hwanyeon looked at him dissatisfiedly with her lips pouted, then crossed his arms and snorted.
“If you tried to turn around or spread sophistry, I didn’t want to stay still. I’ll be honest and apologize.”
“Okay. And the look is very pretty. Goes well.”
“…」
Hwanyeon, who was about to float up and enter the living room, hesitated and glanced at him. Dude, you don’t speak well.
Hwanin let out a small sigh and looked at the closed front door.
But where did Norn go?
When I open the front door and go out, I see Norn, dressed as Hwanyeon, playing with Shilu in the yard at dusk.
“Norn, Silu. Dinner is ready, come back.”
“Huh!”
Beep!
Norn and Dodo also ran and jumped into Hwanin’s arms.
When I removed a strand of his hair that was slightly clinging to his cheek, Norn, who had closed his eyes, gave me a wide smile.
A clear and innocent smile with no wrinkles, anguish, or worries.
「Hwanin. Shuanade’s mom gave me clothes. Am I pretty?”
“Okay. It goes very well with the raised hair.”
“Lol. Ah! It smells like meat!”
As Norn and Silu rush into the room, I can hear Hwanyeon shouting that there is dust, the sound of girlfriends laughing and drying, and the sound of busy preparing and moving food.
When the door closed with a rattle, the light was blocked and the place where Hwanin was standing was plunged into darkness.
Hwanin did not enter right away, but stared at the bright light pouring through the living room window in the darkened yard and the people laughing and chatting in it.
Isilite, Anne, Yurpa, Hwanyeon, Baekryeogang, Ayoung, Norenae Silu, and even my father-in-law and mother-in-law.
A warm and lively family, as if drawn in a painting.
“…”
It’s already been 4 years since he came over to Nionebreath.
Before that, I was living in a house without even a handful of warmth, unable to die, buried in silence and darkness like silence.
I thought I would die alone with no one around me after living alone for the rest of my life.
At the time, it was taken for granted, and it didn’t matter even when he thought of his own end.
As she moves her large hot pot, Issilite meets her gaze and smiles. ‘Welcome,’ she says with her mouth.
The other women beckoned him to come quickly, asking what he was doing, and the impatient Anne opened the window and came out and took his hand.
= What are you doing standing in a dark place? Come on in! Her dad brought out 1100 year old wine to drink with Dolyeong! =
Guided by her broadly smiling hand, he escapes the boundary of darkness and enters the warm golden light.
Hwanin thought while looking at the warm scenery that was gradually approaching.
I won’t be able to live like I used to.
And before her parents died, she understood the worried expressions they sometimes showed.
My parents were aware of this warmth. And she must have been worried that she would live without knowing this kind of warmth and die without knowing it.
=Come on, son-in-law! Let’s drink until drunk today!=
= Ah. This is 71 year old Cadeval Auron, right? The drop of water of God, who was said to have only made about 100 bottles in the world… This, this is Chufurohorn red wine 773 years old!=
=Isilite sister, shall we take this there?=
=That’s because Anne is going to eat it, so that’s over there.=
“I want to wash my hands.”
=Come here Norn. My sister will call the water spirit.=
“…”
Even if she thinks about it, it is. If I had lived on Earth, I wouldn’t have known this kind of warmth until I died.
Upon entering the living room, Issilite, dressed as a newly married woman in plain pretty clothes and a white apron, smiles and comes closer and grabs his arm from the right.
=Master, come this way.=
Anne, who was holding his arm from her left side, saw her Hwanin’s expression and she smiled slightly mischievously.
= Dolyeong is a bit strange. It’s the expression of an old man who feels emotion.=
=What are you talking about?=
= Why? Do-ryeong, did you look like an old man who lived long enough to live outside?
= Stop talking nonsense. Master, this is your seat.=
=It’s true!=
The appearance of the girls who put themselves in the middle and aung daung as usual.
Family is so warm that ordinary people would risk their lives to protect it.
For some reason, he seemed to have become a normal person, so Hwanin smiled naturally.
