“This?” Zinnia dug it out from the bottom, where it had been buried for weeks. Her master had given it to her, muttering something about how she could take it to some shop if she ever got into trouble.
But she’d been half-asleep, and the details were fuzzy. She hadn’t needed it in Jinston, so she’d just shoved it in her bag-partly because she was still annoyed that her master had left without explanation. The token stayed, forgotten at the bottom.
“Yeah. Can I take a look?” The clerk’s voice buzzed with sudden energy as he stared at the
token in her hand.
“Sure.” Zinnia handed it over without a second thought.
The clerk took the token in both hands, studying it. At first glance, it looked ordinary—just a plain brown piece of wood. But when his fingers touched the bottom-right corner, he recognized the texture. His pulse jumped as the truth hit him-this was the real deal.
“Miss, what herbs are you selling? We’ll take everything you have.” The clerk smiled as he handed back the wooden token, his tone shifting from polite to friendly in a heartbeat.
The higher-ups had been clear: Anyone with this token got whatever they asked for-no questions. He didn’t know why a girl like her had it, but that wasn’t his problem. His job was simple-follow orders.
“I only have five,” Zinnia said, tucking the token away and pulling out a small white tin. She hadn’t planned to sell more—the rest were for something else.
“Will
you buy these?” She opened the box, revealing a messy pile of ginseng roots.
The clerk’s eyes went wide. “This… this is wild ginseng! At least eighty years old!” His hands trembled as he reached toward the roots.
The store handled plenty of ginseng, but specimens like this-wild, with perfectly preserved roots-were extraordinary. It was not quite ancient, but the wild growth made it worth a
fortune.
“Yeah,” Zinnia replied casually. She glanced at the tangled roots, suddenly guilty for stuffing them in carelessly. As she tried to straighten them out, a thin rootlet snapped between her fingers.
