Entomologist in Sichuan Tang Clan Chapter 228

228
– Boom! Boom!

As previously agreed, Choga dropped the two guys into a large water container that had been prepared for Hwayang.

The common salamander, a passenger in this water tank, had already been released into the lake.

There was a reason I released the guys I really wanted to raise.

There’s only one water bottle this big, and if you have to choose between a common salamander and an electric salamander, it’s obviously the latter.

It’s a common salamander. I couldn’t find it in Korea in my previous life, but in the Central Plains, they’re so common that they’re eaten.

It was a natural choice, as it could have been obtained later at any time.

Even though it’s not EX grade, it’s an SSS grade electric salamander.

‘The difficulty level of acquisition is different.’

For that reason, when two Hoyes were thrown into a large, empty water container, an Electro Giant Salamander popped its head out of the container it was in and screamed.

Because he was suddenly captured by a scary-looking spirit, he would be very surprised and confused.

Moreover, there are many people around me who are afraid.

-Why, why!

-Why!

To put the guys at ease, I approached them and spoke with a smile.

“It’s okay, calm down. I’m not trying to hurt you.”

-Why, why!

-Why!

But the screams of joy never stop.

Seol’s sister covered her ears and shouted at the ear-piercing scream.

“Wow. This is seriously no joke. I think my ears are going to fall off.”

“Guys, calm down for a moment. I know you’re scared, but···.”

-Why!

I tried talking to them a few more times, but every time I tried to talk to them, they got louder.

Eventually, the veteran spirits who couldn’t stand the noise came from nearby and surrounded the guys.

If a newcomer came, you would greet them quietly, but how dare you make a sound? He looked at Hoye with eyes that gave off that kind of feeling.

-Tsrrrr.

-Kissit···.

-Kkuku!

-Beep!

Cho, Bin, Hyang, Yohwa, and Seol, Bing, Dong, who ride on Yohwa’s shoulders, and even Yeondu and Hongdan.

Finally, when the insignificant Hwayang, who was holding a magpie’s paw, looked at the guys with an expression that said that he did not like them, the two of them were startled and huddled together in a corner of the water jug, shaking violently.

-Why···.

-Ugh. Why···.

-Tsurut!

The cries of the guys could be heard intermittently, but every time, a single word similar to a human’s ‘swoop!’ was heard, and the guys tangled together, their heads sticking out of the water, looking at the other guys with fearful eyes.

“Phew… It’s finally quiet. Where is the old shaman?”

Now it’s barely quiet.

As I looked around to find my grandmother, the shaman grandmother I was looking for was still looking at the monks with a worried expression at the entrance to the cabin.

The expression on their faces was very worried, wondering if the Hoyes had been hurt or surprised.

“Grandma, I made sure the grass wasn’t damaged, so don’t worry too much. Come here. We should say hello.”

“Oh, I understand, Little Dragon.”

He brought his grandmother to the front door so that he could say goodbye to Hoye.

Because I had to say goodbye to the lake spirit that I had served my entire life.

The Heukyi tribe promised that they would visit the Tang family at any time and let them see Hoye, but since it was their parting for now, they had to at least let them say goodbye.

When he dragged the grandmother and made her stand in front of the barrel, she couldn’t say anything and just looked at Hoye with deep eyes.

After a while, the grandmother’s mouth fell open with difficulty.

“I’m sorry. I had to resort to this method. It’s because we, the Black Tribe, can no longer protect you, Spirit.”

Please follow Little Dragon and be happy. The paradise of the spirits, Poison Garden, will now become a strong fence for the two of you.”

These two guys look much gentler to me than they do to my grandmother, perhaps because she has a slightly familiar face.

The grandmother continued speaking with tears in her eyes.

“And if, if, I mean.

As time goes by and the time comes when spirits and humans can live together happily, please return to the lake and protect our Heukyi tribe once again.”

And the grandmother slowly brought her hand towards the water jug.

“Oh, no! Brain metastasis!”

Sister Seol screamed in surprise at the sight, but I quickly raised my hand and stopped her.

That was because at that moment, looking at my grandmother’s eyes and Hoye’s appearance, a scene I had seen in a documentary before came to mind.

The images of animals such as chimpanzees, lions, and gorillas in their natural state, as observed by scholars who have spent their entire lives observing them.

That moment when the observer is accepted by the group of animals, and the animals accept the observer.

A place where the observer becomes one with nature’s creatures.

It seemed like now was the moment.

It was clear that Hoye had been forcibly taken by the elders, but as soon as the grandmother finished speaking, the two boys stopped shaking and one of them slowly came closer to the elders.

And then the boy who had been staring blankly at the grandmother licked the grandmother’s outstretched hand with the tip of his tongue.

Okay, so don’t worry about it now, I’ll definitely come back later.

Then the grandmother lowered her head and shed tears on the floor.

“Go, thank you. Sob.”

Live nature documentary.

It was a very touching and beautiful sight.

***

We spent another day calming down the crew, and the next day our ship was just leaving port.

The shouts of soldiers could be heard from a warship sailing from the opposite dock.

“Anyone who harms people will definitely be caught and killed! Do you understand?”

“””yes!”””

Judging by the soldiers lined up on both decks of the ship with bows drawn and the chilling figure of their commander, the sailors really looked ready to kill something at any moment.

He leaned against the cabin window and pointed outside, speaking to Hoye and the others.

“See, you guys, did you see that? That’s why I had to take you somewhere else. Do you understand?”

-Why!

-why!

Then I heard an answer that I couldn’t tell if it was understood or not.

It seems like they can understand what I say to some extent, judging from the fact that they can clearly understand what other kids say, but they still don’t give me their all and respond consistently to what I say.

To become close, you need skinship, but I can’t do that with these guys, so it was really frustrating.

After staring blankly at the guys, I went to Hwa-eun’s cabin.

I thought that I would need to talk to Hwa-eun in order to raise the kids.

-dripping.

The innermost room of the ship, not the cabin that I and the poisonous creatures use.

I knocked on the door of Hwa-eun’s cabin next to Seol’s and asked.

“Do you have any regrets?”

Then, a very affectionate voice was heard from inside.

“Yes, Little Dragon. What’s the matter?”

“I have something to talk about alone, so may I come in for a moment?”

A plan to pause for a moment at the mention that there is something the two of them can talk about.

There was a rustling sound, and then Hwa-eun’s voice followed.

“Hey, come in.”

As I opened the door and went inside, I felt like I could smell a fragrant flower scent, perhaps because it was Hwa-eun’s room.

Hwa-eun stood in front of the bed and greeted me.

Her lips are very red, it feels like she’s wearing the lipstick I made for her.

As expected, Hwa-eun thought that the color red suited her well, like a rose. Then, Hwa-eun asked a question.

“Wh, what’s the matter?”

Slightly raised cheeks and flushed ears.

I looked out the window, wondering if it might be hot in the room, but the window was open.

Since I couldn’t talk while standing, I quickly walked over to Hwa-eun and spoke.

“Shall we sit down and talk?”

“Yes!? Yes. Yes···. Hey, please sit here.”

As I sat down on Hwa-eun’s bed, Hwa-eun sat right next to me.

As expected, it was a bit hot, so Hwa-eun fanned the back of her neck with her hand, and then she brought up the matter she had come to ask for.

“Actually, the reason I came here is because I have something to talk about in secret.”

“Uh, secretly?”

At the word secret, Hwa-eun made a nervous expression for some reason, but then nodded and spoke.

He said it with an expression that said he had decided on something.

“Go ahead, Little Dragon. I am ready to listen.”

Even from my perspective, Hwa-eun looked ready to listen, so she nodded and continued speaking.

“Actually, isn’t there a favor that you accepted this time?”

Then, Hwa-eun tilted her head slightly with a frown and asked me.

“Huh? Huh?”

“Yes, sir.”

“So, did you come here to talk about Hoye?”

“yes.”

“under···.”

Hwa-eun looks at the ground for some reason and takes a deep breath.

It must have been my feeling, but I heard Hwa-eun’s slightly cold answer.

“Um… Go ahead.”

“Yes, doesn’t that guy have the energy of a thunderbolt?”

“Yes.”

“Other children are okay because even if they have poison, there is a way to detoxify them, and they don’t just spit poison at people, but if you raise Hoye, you have to be careful, and there is something you have to learn.”

“What to learn?”

Hwa-eun shows curiosity when told that she has something to learn.

Hwa-eun was a woman with a strong desire for knowledge, so she immediately became curious when she heard that there was something to learn.

“What do I need to learn?”

“Yes, when the energy of the thunderbolt passes through a person, the body becomes paralyzed like the dead fishermen, but the person’s heart stops. Then, the person can die on the spot.”

“Is that true!? The little dragon was fine last time?”

“At that time, it seems that you were lucky or that the thunderbolt energy that penetrated the first wave had diminished, but Ho-ye can shoot thunderbolt energy directly at people, so you must be very careful.”

“Ah… Then what should I do? Should I wear a helmet made of demonic thread when I touch it?”

Hwa-eun had knowledge about poisons, so she asked if it would be okay to wear gloves made of the demon’s thread, but that was impossible.

Because spider webs are a material that conducts static electricity very well, they also conduct electricity very well.

Some spiders have evolved to use static electricity to catch insects with different electrical charges much more easily, so magic threads wouldn’t be of much help.

Moreover, since the magic thread got wet, it would be even less helpful.

I don’t know if it would be different if there were a rubber tree and they coated it with rubber, but as far as I know, the rubber tree is native to the tropical rainforests of the Brazilian Amazon.

This world might be a little different, but I couldn’t have high hopes because I wasn’t sure.

“That won’t help much. Spider webs promote brainwaves.”

“Then what should I do? Seeing that I have to learn, it seems like Little Dragon has a way.”

“How to make a stopped heart beat again. So… you have to learn CPR.”

“Resuscitation!? You’re bringing the dead back to life!?”

Hwa-eun’s eyes widen at the word ‘resuscitation’.

Hwa-eun seemed to think that revival was something amazing, but it wasn’t anything special.

Because we were talking about CPR and artificial respiration.

It is recorded that 95% of patients who have been electrocuted can be revived with proper artificial respiration and CPR.

So, to take care of Hoye, I had to learn artificial respiration and CPR.

In particular, Hwa-eun had to learn, even if no one else did.

I have to be physically intimate with them to become close to them, but if I accidentally get electrocuted and pass out, they’ll have to revive me.

That’s why I secretly visited Hwa-eun’s room.

“Yes, if someone has just fallen into water and stopped breathing or has been struck by a brain blast, they can be revived within half a second (3.75 minutes).”

The golden time for someone whose heart has stopped is 4 minutes. According to statistics, the survival rate is over 90% within 1 minute, so half that time would be enough to save the person.

Hwa-eun asked in a cautious voice.

“So, you’re going to teach me that?”

“Of course. Hwa-eun must learn.”

‘Then of course I have to learn. Otherwise I’ll die.’

At my words, Hwa-eun held my hand tightly and said.

“Thank you, Soryong. For trusting me so much.”

There was a bit of a misunderstanding, but I think if you have this much enthusiasm, it will be easy to teach.

I decided to teach Hwaeun directly with the knowledge I had from my past life.

“Then, I told you to pull out the bull’s horn in one go. Let’s learn right now.”

“Right now?”

“Yes, it doesn’t take that long.”

“Oh, I see. Then what should I do?”

“Just lie down. Think of him as someone who has collapsed. I’ll show you how to perform CPR. It’s better to learn this through your own experience.”

“all right!”

At first, I thought I would teach Hwa-eun without much thought since I would have to teach her myself, but after I laid Hwa-eun down on the bed, I realized that I was wrong.

I had to kiss her and press between her breasts, but after laying Hwa-eun down, my mind became blank.

“Why is that?”

As I froze as if time had stopped, Hwa-eun looked at me with a worried look.

He answered, stammering.

“No. I think I misunderstood.”

Then Hwa-eun said with a slightly disappointed expression.

“Ah… If it’s something this important, it’s too much for me, who hasn’t even gotten married yet, to learn….”

“Oh, no. That’s not it···.”

“No. It’s okay, So-ryong. It’s a great thing to save people, but even So-ryong might have thought, “Oh no.”

Although she quickly made an excuse, Hwa-eun looked extremely disappointed when she got up from bed.

He said with his eyes tightly shut.

“To save a person, you have to put your mouth against theirs and blow air into them, and press between their chests. I can’t do that to Hwa-eun…”

“Mouth to mouth? Press between your chests!?”

At my words, Hwa-eun blinked in surprise and then spoke with a bright red face.

“Well, then, I guess I, as your fiancé, am the only one who can learn.”

“!”

When I heard that I would definitely learn, at first I just pretended to learn, but was it really a favor?

Her intellectual appetite was unquenchable.

What can I do if the Tang family’s method is to train like it’s real?

I had to practice the sweet artificial respiration a lot until I got used to it.
