Chapter 35
The moist thing was the nose of general. Then a damp tongue licked the back of my hand.
“Whines. Whines.”
Even though he was out of his mind, general, who was fluffy after a bath, was white. After scratching the door of my bedroom with a clean appearance, it seemed that he had succeeded in opening the door.
“It tickles, General.”
“Woof woof!”
When I burst into a small laughter at the ticklishness, general tried hard to catch my eyes with his eyes shining. It was really cute, looking smug.
“Was it obvious that dad was upset?”
“Woof!”
“Dad is sorry. I might not be able to be a reliable owner, but I’m worried about you.”
I was ashamed that my panic affected this little creature as well. It was brought to live happily together in charge, and I was getting more comfort and strength through general.
‘The employees are out of the house like usual, right?’
I peeped out my head and looked around. It was as quiet as if not a single ant cub would crawl around the spacious house to use alone. It was because I usually didn’t want anyone to come inside the house.
Even the employer’s aunt, who comes to obatain the side dishes, has been told not to come for the time being, so it would be no harm in talking to general.
I spoke to general who diligently licked my palm.
“You know, General.”
“Woof?”
“There are scary guys chasing dad. Dad is a bit scared right now. I don’t know what to do.”
“Woof woof! Woof woof!”
As my voice gradually fell into depression and despair, general barked as if to cheer me up. Of course, he didn’t stop licking, so my face was getting drooled. He came up on the bed sometime after.
“By the way, seeing as I only heard that they were still looking for me, it must be safe here, right? They won’t find it, will they?”
“Whoa.”
As I mumbled my wishes, the general just dug into my side, warming me up like a loaf of bread. The warm body temperature of the still young and weak puppy warmed my body.
“Are you doing this to console me?”
“Woof.”
General, who answered quietly, closed his eyes quietly and fell asleep. He looked tired after playing to his heart’s content. He must be tired after taking a bath.
Soon I heard the sound of a colorful puppy sleeping. The sound made me fall asleep automatically.
‘It’s funny. I was extremely anxious as if I were going to stay up all night.’
The combination of a fluffy blanket and a warm general was fatal. The things I had been pondering just now seemed like nothing.
‘But, what did I do wrong?’
I first told Baek Do-jun to meet him in person and break up the marriage, and I gave Seo Eun-soo a memorandum that he would never be seen again with compensation, and I contacted other gongs to apologize by text and not see them in the future.
‘But why are the gongs looking for me?’
Even though I was sleepy, my eyes were wide open just thinking about it. No matter how hard I thought about it, they had no reason to find me.
Rather, the situation now should be very pleasant for the gongs. Since Seong Chan-young, who has been bothering Seo Eun-soo all the time, has disappeared, they can express their affections with peace of mind.
‘So! Why! Why are you looking for me?’
I was living well in my own way without bothering like Marimo in the room, but it felt like a landslide was pouring in. When I kicked the blanket in anger, general made a noise that indicated he hated it.
“Whines, Whines.”
“Oof. Sorry.”
I immediately stopped kicking the blanket and lay down in a decent chopstick position for General, who was in trouble while sleeping well. General was satisfied, once he got up on my stomach and went to sleep.
As my body became warm, I felt sleepy, and as I fell asleep, I relaxed my tension.
‘Yes, but, what if they find me? I haven’t done anything wrong since I transmigrated. Would they kill me or hit me?’
Come to think of it, it was really weird. Instead of looking for me, they should be having a competition or bloodbath to date Eun-soo; what a waste of useless power.
‘I don’t know. If they come, I’ll take a hoe, pickaxe, broom or whatever and kick them out.’
There must be reliable and good employees, and if it doesn’t work out, we can call Secretary Choi, who is all-around, and ask for help.
I decided not to worry about something that hasn’t happened yet. I’m the only one who’s stressed out, even though I can’t answer even if I think about it.
‘Let’s think of a realistic and constructive topic.’
It turned out that strawberries were originally planted in autumn. The season was spring. I didn’t have time to wait until autumn. I wanted to plant it right away.
So I decided to grow it using a vinyl greenhouse. These days, strawberries are on the market throughout the year, so it was not impossible to plant them in spring.
‘It will grow well only if we install facilities that can maintain temperature, humidity, and sunlight.’
Strawberries were delicious, but they were hard to grow. It’s very sensitive to temperature and humidity, so it’s important to control it well.
With a lot of money, installing facilities was not burdensome at all. Rather, I was excited to grow strawberries finely by applying the latest farming techniques, such as hydroponic cultivation and smart farms.
‘As expected, a capitalist society. There’s almost nothing money can’t do…….’
Determined to contact Secretary Choi, who claims to be my handyman, on his own, I fell into a coma.
And I had a dream after a long time.
The dream was bizarre. In my dreams I was a poor woodcutter.
“Pants. Pants.
It’s really hard to get firewood.”
While digging the tree with all his might, the only ax fell into the pond.
“No! My cash cow!”
While crying and grieving over the pond, a mountain spirit with Chairman Seong’s face appeared.
“What have you lost, good young man?”
‘Huh, of course!’
“I lost my axe.”
Now that I’ve got a gold axe and a silver axe, I’m smiling because I think it’ll have a happy ending, but isn’t the mountain spirit giving something unexpected.
“Did you also lose this Alpha?”
….is that instead of a gold axe? You won’t have it even if you give it to me.
What the mountain spirit gave me was Baek Do-jun. I was scared to hold Baek Do-jun by the back of my hand but the mountain spirit lifted him up with one hand and pushed him out to me.
‘Even Baek Do-joon is wet, wet, and fainted!’
I didn’t know why they handed over people without giving me the lost axe.
“Oh, no. It’s not Alpha that I lost. It’s the axe….”
“Then is this alpade you lost?”
Damn. Next was Chae Yoon-chan. I realized that this mountain spirit was a fraud.
“No! Give me my axe!”
“Huh, what an honest young man. Then what about this alpha?”
“Oh, damn it!”
The mountain spirit stuck out to give me Joo Tae-kang and Yoo Yi-seo. I don’t know why Seo Eun-soo held out the axe, but when he got there, I ran out of energy to respond, so I cried and told him to quickly hand over the axe.
“It’s the last time.”
“…who else are you going to give up.”
“Is this dog yours?”
“What?”
It was general that the mountain spirit presented this time. Instead of answering, I nodded madly and snatched my precious general from the hand of the mountain spirit.
“It’s my dog, so give it to me right now! Oh, my God, General! You’re wet!”
“
Whines
.”
I was angry to see general crying, pitifully wet. Even if it’s a dream, does it make our general hard?
“You don’t have a habit of speaking, but you’re great. I will also give you the axe and the gourd seed that I originally lost.”
“What? A ground seed?”
That’s the swallow’s. Did the mountain spirit side with the swallow?
“Goodbye for now.”
The mountain spirit disappeared, leaving an additional item. I was embarrassed by the crossover of traditional fairy tales, but once I went back to the thatched house and planted the gourd seeds, it quickly grew.
“Random… box?”
On the grown gourd, the words were written as a large agricultural random box. I hurriedly brought a saw and cracked the gourd with general. Then, high-value-added agricultural products, including ginseng, poured out of it.
“General! Dad is rich!”
“Woof woof!”
I was distracted by general and the harvest. I was overjoyed.
It was better because there were no gongs in the happy sight, but only me and the general as we hugged and enjoyed the joy of a good harvest.
The beginning was strange, but the end was vast and sweet.
⚝ ⚝ ⚝
“Joo Tae-kang.”
“Why?”
“Do you have insomnia these days? Why is your face so thin?”
Even though it was an unwelcome group of alpha, the four were present regularly.
In the past, it was to protect Seo Eun-soo from the evil spirit called Seong Chan-young, but it was different these days. They didn’t talk to each other, but they gathered, looking at each other’s eyes, wondering if they could pick up crumbs of Seong Chan-young’s information that disappeared suddenly.
They pretended not to know each other, but they were busy in their heads. In particular, Yoo Yi-seo did not show that he was already in the most advanced situation to know Chan-young’s whereabouts.
‘I think there’s something about him that I don’t know…….’
Chae Yoon-chan, who is good at handling information, has not been as lucky as Yoo Yi-seo. It was because Chae Yoon-chan still had no clue.
‘Jesus Christ. Did he rise to the sky or did he hide underground?’
Even though people and money were being sent here and there, there was no sign of them being found. As a result, Chae Yoon-chan was getting more and more nervous.
‘I have to gather information somehow.’
Joo Tae-kang was caught in Chae Yoon-chan’s eyes, which were full of thoughts of interrogating Seong Chan-young, who disappeared like smoke.
From head to toe, meticulous care was taken to the point of being synovial, which made him somewhat shabby. Dark circles were coming down towards the chin.
“You’ve aged so much in the past few days.”
“…Don’t mind. It’s not a big deal.”
“What?”
A flash of light passed through Chae Yoon-chan’s head. Joo Tae-kang avoided Chae Yoon-chan’s gaze and was reluctant to answer the story that should have been ignored.
‘That punk, I’m sure he’s hiding something.’
