Capítulo 5: Chapter 5
The fish in Sejun's hand struggled, opening and closing its mouth to attack Sejun.
Exactly! Exactly!
Sharp teeth clashed and made a sharp sound. Every time that happened, Sejun held on tighter. It felt as if one of his fingers would just be cut off if he was accidentally bitten.
Sejun grabbed the fish and ran to the fire under the hole in the ceiling. In the meantime, the fish, which had been resisting intensely, began to breathe more and more quickly, and then its body drooped.
Upon arriving at the fire, Sejun carefully spread a piece of pie leaf on the floor. The fish was carefully placed on top of the spread leaves and covered with another sheet of pie leaves.
and
Boo-wook.
Tear the pie leaves to the thickness of a finger, wrap the two pie leaves with the fish on top of each other in a cross shape, and tie them together.
"Be delicious."
Sejun carefully wrapped the fish in pie leaves and placed it in the middle of the fire.
Then,
"···············
Waited.
I watched for a while.
sniff sniff.
"Oh, it's fragrant."
The savory and greasy smell melted in the rising steam spread around and the smell began to fill the cave.
reminded me of my childhood When mom is preparing a meal, the smell of food from the kitchen takes over the whole house.
When I come home from school and the smell that fills the house is my favorite side dish, I feel good. At that time, waiting time before eating seemed to be happy.
growl.
A sound interrupted Sejun's thoughts. I was hungry, but I endured it. The desire to fill your empty stomach with something delicious.
growl.
"Be patient. I'll put something really tasty."
Sejun calmed his stomach and waited patiently. I waited for the best taste to be completed.
And when the smell got thicker and thicker,
"Enough! I can't stand it anymore!"
Sejun wrapped the grilled fish in pie leaves and pulled it out of the fire using the dried and hardened pie leaves.
Carefully untie the string that bound the pie leaf.
anger.
When the string was undone and the scallion leaves were removed, the rich scent of fish mixed with the incense of scallion spread out.
"Wow!"
Sejun made a thrilled expression at the appearance of the moist and shiny fish.
king.
Sejun folded the fish in half and tore off the protruding flesh and put it in his mouth.
"Umm…!"
well baked There is no fishy taste at all, and the firmness that you feel as soon as you chew, and the lightness that spreads in your mouth as you chew.
'Crazy!!!'
clap clap.
Sejun frantically ate the fish.
"omg! When did you finish eating?"
Sejun made an expression of despair as he looked at the fish with only bones left.
Then
beep…
beep…
I heard the sound of despair next to me. Sejun wasn't the only one in despair.
"huh?"
When Sejun looked at the source of the sound, a couple of rabbits were looking at the fish with only bones left, looking lost.
'no way?!'
No, it can't be…what kind of rabbit eats fish!
However, if you think about it, the rabbit couple preferred to eat grilled green onions like Sejun.
"Do you guys eat meat too?
Beep!
When Sejun asked
, the rabbit couple turned their heads at the same time as if they knew that now. Sejun seemed upset that he ate it all by himself.
"Sorry. I didn't know you guys eat meat…"
Scratching his head, Sejun got up and went to the pond. He was thinking of catching fish. There were more fish in the pond than before. "But
where are they coming from?" Sejun looked at the pond with a torch and saw a
hole
the size of a hand's hand in the corner of
the
pond .
Sejun finally found out where the fish were coming from.
Sejun unconsciously brought the torch closer to the pond to examine the pond more.
Dive!
The fish flew towards the torch and opened its mouth. "
Huh ?!"
As
Sejun hurriedly lifted the torch to avoid the fish
,
the fish chewed the air.
Splash
The fish that failed to hunt
went
back into the water
.
The fish jumped up to hunt the torch.
Poof.
Sejun lifted the torch to avoid it.
Just!
Splash. Dip.
The fish that failed to hunt this time went into the water.
"Aha."
Sejun realized what the fish were reacting to. When something moves near the surface, the fish think it's food and jump. It
was easy to catch it because they knew how fish bounced.
Sejun waved a torch near the pond.
Splash!
A fish flew towards the torch with its mouth open. It went up.
'It's coming!'
Sejun focused on the movement of the fish, and when the fish reached its highest height and was about to fall again,
'Now!' Sejun swung his torch at
the floating fish and threw it out of the pond.
The
fish crashed to the ground and struggled to breathe. In the meantime, Sejun sent two
more
fish to the ground.
Breath As they approached
the fire with the three stopped fish
,
beep
!
It felt like being a hero.
Beep!
Beep!
Husband rabbit brought pie leaves and volunteered to help with the cooking.
Boouk, buuk.
Next to him, wife rabbit shreds the pie leaves and made a string. "It's
done ."
He said while putting the fish in the fire. All you have to do is wrap the fish with pie leaves and tie it together, so cooking was done in no time.
Then again, a happy wait.
On the 11th day of distress, Sejun and the rabbit couple filled their stomachs with fish and went to sleep.

[June 19th, 6:00 am]
The
morning
of the 41st day of distress came
. It could be called a tap made
by connecting a small stream of water to the side of the pond to avoid fish attacks. Here, he washed his face and scooped up the water. Eop!
Eopu !
In the center, green onions in the front, cherry tomatoes growing to the height of Sejun's knee on the left, and sweet potato sprouts on the right. Finally, the long-awaited sweet potato sprouted.
All the crops planted on the first day of Sejun's distress finally took root safely in the tower. " You're
proud."
A lot of things have happened in the meantime.
On the 32nd day of distress, the blue moon appeared once again. With that, Sejun learned that the cycle of the blue moon on the floor he was on was 30 days.
And a few days ago, the sergeant The wife rabbit gave birth to
6 kittens and the family
grew
.
"I need to prepare breakfast."
Seeing the busy rabbit couple, I wanted to help them.
Pudeudeuk. Pudeudeuk.
He broke the leaves of the pie, put 10 of them in the fire, and spread the rest on the ground to dry.
Then he went to the pond and waved his torch left and right over the water.
Splash! Splash!
A fish that flew up to hunt a torch. Sejun waved a torch at those fish.
Puff!
Today was fortunately a typi.
flutter.
Two fish were covered with pie leaves, tied with stems, and put into the fire.
And in the meantime, I took out the well-roasted green onion and ate it.
"I feel relieved when something warm comes in."
After eating the fried green onions, Sejun passed the time by watering the crops and bruising for a while.
sniff sniff.
A delicious smell began to spread.
Tuk. Tuk.
Sejun took a fish out of the fire and began to sever the rope that tied the leaves together. Just then, the husband rabbit trudged out of the burrow.
"It's a rabbit!"
Sejun called Daddy Rabbit.
Beep…
Husband Rabbit was powerless to answer, perhaps because parenting was difficult.
"Eat this with your wife."
Beep.
Impressive Husband Rabbit. The husband rabbit hurried into the burrow with the fish.
But
minus!
Subtract!
As the babies who barely slept woke up, the rabbit couple was able to eat the fish after a while.
***
Beep beep beep beep beep.
[June 19th, 5:00 am]
50th day of distress. The smartphone went off the notification and died.
Fortunately, rabbits wake up exactly at 5 am and go to bed at 7 pm. Following the rhythm of the rabbits' life, it seemed that the constant sun would not cause the time difference to collapse.
"Good work."
Sejun's dead smartphone was put in the bag along with the dead laptop.
then
beep!!
Beep!
The rabbit couple came out of the den to say hello, as if they were getting used to parenting to some extent.
"Yes. Good morning."
shoot it
Snip, snip.
While husband rabbit waters the crops with a watering can and wife rabbit cuts pie leaves,
puck!
puck!
Sejun caught a fish in the pond.
Then, carrying the caught fish, they went to the fire, wrapped it in leaves, and put it on the fire. The wife, rabbit, took out a roasted green onion, put it nicely in a pie leaf, gave it to Sejun, and went into the burrow with her husband, the rabbit.
It was to prepare breakfast for the young while the fish were cooking.
Yum Yum.
When you're eating green onions to satisfy your hunger,
"Huh?!"
Sejun's eyes saw a yellow flower blooming at the end of a cherry tomato.
And what I saw on the internet came to mind. It is said that there is no pollination without bees or wind.
The wind here blows in the cave, but it is weak. Sejun carefully rubbed the flower with a thorn from eating fish to make sure it was pollinated.
'Be it. Be it.'
Sejun artificially pollinated the flower with a desperate heart.
***
"Chuck!"
As soon as Sejun got up, he approached the rock wall of the cave.
and
seok.
A stroke was drawn on the rock wall using a fish thorn.
Two bars were engraved on the side, and 10 were engraved on the top row.
It was the 61st day of distress. I've been recording dates like this since smartphones disappeared.
'It's already been 61 days…'
As Sejun tried to calm down, the cave became noisy.
Piya!
Piya!
Subtract!
In the morning, baby rabbits came out of the burrow in a row following the parent rabbit.
Beep!
Beep!
The rabbit couple greeted Sejun in the morning and asked for help.
"Yes. I'm going."
Lately, Sejun has been looking after the baby rabbits in between. It's not a big deal, but to the extent that it doesn't let you go to a dangerous place.
While Sejun watched the baby rabbits, the husband rabbit watered the field and the wife rabbit cut leaves to prepare breakfast.
The meal was peaceful, as the baby rabbits ate whatever was given to them. When the meal was over, the rabbit couple went back to the den with their babies.
Sejun washed his face and went to the cherry tomato field. The cherry tomato field bloomed one by one, and now it has become a flower field.
And Sejun lightly shook the branch with cherry tomato flowers.
"Be it. Be it."
Now that there are too many flowers, instead of pollinating them one by one, I gently shake the branches and recite the spell to pollinate them.
Then
"Huh?"
Amidst the fallen petals, I could see green cherry tomatoes, smaller than peas, formed very small.
On the 61st day of distress, the fruit finally opened.
It was the day before the blue moon.
One day, a mysterious tower suddenly appeared in the city. The people decided to call it a dungeon, and while it was full of rugged terrain and dangerous monsters, it was also a land of opportunity, where countless treasures awaited. When Sejun, a young man living an ordinary life, is invited to the dungeon by chance, he is thrilled at the prospect of becoming rich, but he is stranded in a hidden area of the mysterious tower. All he has is a few seeds and his body. Now Sejun must farm, collect resources, and figure out his own survival strategy!
