next day.

I had a pleasant evening with my father the day before, but that doesn’t mean I’m out of work today. He left the house early in the morning and headed for his destination.

‘Today’s harvest is good too.’

The place he headed was, of course, Shin Jun-ho’s mountain.

It’s been about two hours since he climbed the mountain, but his backpack is already almost full, and it’s hard to find an empty space.

However, it was not a random can of herbs.

If you find ten roots of the same herb, keep one for later. It was an unspoken rule and common sense among herbalists in the Moorim era.

Remembering that, I kept some of them as much as possible, and I cut out the kudzu and night gates that make tea because they still have a lot of room left, but I still got this much harvest.

It is also a treasure trove for Kang Tae-han.

However, since there were so many harvests, it was rather disappointing in other parts.

‘I wish I had a car.’

Transportation from Daejeon to here is inconvenient, but the biggest problem was that there was a limit to the amount of herbs that could be harvested at one time. I didn’t bring it today, but if I were to spend the night, I would have to think about camping supplies.

However, if you have a car, the amount you can move at once increases significantly. Of course, it will take the trouble of driving between Seoul and Daejeon.

“Well, it’s been sixty years since I got my license.”

When the college entrance exam was over and everyone was rushing around to get a driver’s license, Kang Tae-han was also swept away by the atmosphere and got his driver’s license. However, I have never been behind the wheel since.

I went to Murim in that state… His license was not an exaggeration, it was literally a closet license that was 60 years old.

‘How many used cars these days… … .’

It’s been almost two months since I came back from Moorim. It hasn’t been that long, but I’ve saved quite a bit of money, and I’ve had some spare time.

Let’s think about it slowly for once.

With that thought in mind, let’s come down the mountain.

“Taehan student! Long time no see!”

Someone waiting at the entrance of the mountain waved and welcomed me. It was none other than the owner of this mountain, Shin Jun-ho.

He still looked weak, but compared to when he was lying in the hospital room, his impression was clearly improved. Kang Tae-han also smiled and lightly bowed.

“Well, I said I would visit you today.”

“Ah, the life saver has something to do, so I have to come. Rather, I should have been discharged from the hospital and said hello separately, but I couldn’t because I was not in a situation.”

Shin Jun-ho shook his hands and said. Kang Tae-han scratched the side of his head with a puzzled expression and smiled.

“That business is to give you something in return for using the mountain… If you come and receive it like this, the picture is very strange.”

Kang Tae-han took out a glass bottle from the plastic he had taken out beforehand. It was the same bellflower branch that I had brought from Seoul and handed over to Jo Won-ho the day before.

“This… Did you soak the herbs in honey?”

“Yes, this is Dorajicheong. and… … .”

If that was the only gift, the grandiose word of return would not have been added. Kang Tae-han rummaged through the inside of his backpack and then took out an herb.

“This… Is it wild ginseng?”

Wild ginseng, with many fine roots and five leaves, is by far the best among medicinal herbs grown in the mountains.

Recognizing this, Shin Jun-ho widened his eyes. It was because Kang Tae-han held out the mountain ginseng in his hand to Shin Jun-ho as if urging him to go.

“Sir, are you going to give me this?”

“There’s no way I took it out to brag, right?”

At Shin Jun-ho’s reaction, Kang Tae-han smiled lightly and wrapped the wild ginseng with a handkerchief he had prepared in advance. Even so, through the handkerchief wrapped around it, the outline was clearly revealed.

While Shin Jun-ho was staring blankly at the clear outline, Kang Tae-han placed wild ginseng on Shin Jun-ho’s hand.

“Your energy will still decline, so use it for self-defense.”

On a mountain hike last week, Kang Tae-han found three roots of wild ginseng at the same place.

Besides, they’re not even small fish, they’re all filthy bastards who’ve been eating for ten to fifteen years. Thanks to that, Kang Tae-han was smiling… For a moment, I wondered if it would be right to take all of this.

He said he had been given permission, but the owner of the mountain was different anyway, and he himself was still recovering his energy after being unconscious for over a week.

In the midst of all that, is it really a coincidence that I found three roots of wild ginseng at once? … .

I suddenly thought of that, so I left a message for Shin Jun-ho last week, leaving the guy I stayed with the longest, and I dug it up like this today.

‘I’ve already taken care of the aura.’

Of course, medicinal herbs with strong energy such as wild ginseng can be poisonous, and the danger is even greater when canned goods from such a spiritual mountain contain a strong spiritual energy.

However, it is not Kang Tae-han who will forget that. Utilizing the Great Law of Absorption (吸星大法), not only did the spiritual energy be removed to some extent, but also the strong and strong energy of wild ginseng itself was softened by internal force interference.

It is an incidental part that the person himself absorbs the spirit energy removed in the process and piles it up one by one in the lower part.

Of course, it would inevitably be less effective than directly ingesting a wild ginseng root, but even so, it could be said that it was a very good win-win for Kang Tae-han to benefit from it.

However, Shin Jun-ho has no way of knowing such a situation. Shin Jun-ho looked at Kang Tae-han with a dumbfounded expression.

“No, this precious thing… Student Taehan doesn’t eat.”

“I already ate something else.”

Kang Tae-han’s words were never empty words.

Three wild ginseng roots were found. The other two roots of wild ginseng have long since been thoroughly chewed and absorbed from nutrition to spiritual energy, and this one that is still left has taken a lot of energy in the process of arranging the energy of wild ginseng.

However, from Shin Jun-ho’s point of view, it sounds like Kang Tae-han’s empty words to ease the burden. A deep emotion flickered in his eyes.

“really… I only get help from Taehan in many ways.”

Losing consciousness for more than a week means that during that time, only life was maintained without moving or eating.

Of course, the effect will remain on the body for a long time. Even if you regain consciousness and concentrate on recovery, it will take time for the energy that has once weakened to return.

I was feeling that my exhausted body wasn’t getting any better… It was at such a moment that I received this gift.

He saves people, makes them come to their senses, and now even takes care of wild ginseng to replenish their energy. What can we call such a person if not a benefactor?

“I don’t even know how to repay what I’ve received.”

“It was nothing. I’m also getting a lot from President Shin.”

This wild ginseng is also from Shin Jun-ho’s mountain, and the medicinal herbs that are now filled in the backpack behind his back are part of it.

However, to those who are already thrilled, it only looks like humility. It was Shin Jun-ho who couldn’t help but burst into admiration one more time.

* * *

After the impressive wild ginseng awarding ceremony.

‘… Well?’

While descending from the mountain together, Shin Jun-ho suddenly had a small question. There was only one car parked at the entrance.

“Come to think of it, how did student Taehan get to this point?”

“I’m coming by taxi.”

Kang Tae-han said in a voice that seemed natural. Shin Jun-ho tilted his head to the right.

“… Then when you go back?”

This is a sparsely populated mountain valley. You may not know when you are coming, but finding a taxi on the way back is bound to be a very, very difficult task.

“Let’s go by bus.”

“Bus? I know there’s not much difference… … .”

“As long as you time it right, it shouldn’t be a problem.”

However, Kang Tae-han said with an expression that it was not a big deal. In fact, Kang Tae-han’s candid attitude is that it doesn’t matter if he rushes back. If I wanted to, I could have walked all the way to Daejeon.

‘Huh… … .’

However, it was a completely different story to Shin Jun-ho, who heard it.

It was so hard to come and go here!

If that is the case, it can be said that he was happy to find the precious wild ginseng he had come so hard to find.

This is the moment when a weight is added to the value of the already heavy gift. At this point, I definitely want to do something in return.

“… For now, I’ll give you a ride today. get on.”

“Then I’ll take care of you.”

Two people naturally sat in the driver’s seat and the passenger’s seat. The car started immediately, but Shin Jun-ho was in trouble for a while because of what happened a while ago.

‘… Of course it would be inconvenient to give her a ride every time.’

Originally, wild ginseng was a person who wanted to come and give it himself. It wasn’t a matter of being able to do it or not, it was obvious that the strong side would reject it in the first place.

What should I do? By the time his troubles are getting longer and longer.

“Looks like you’ve just been hired.”

“Ah, yes. It hasn’t even been a month yet.”

At that time, Kang Tae-han, who was looking around the car, said lightly. Words that were brought out to throw a topic in the silence. However, those words became an idea for Shin Jun-ho.

After organizing his thoughts in his head for a moment, Shin Jun-ho slowly opened his mouth.

“But if you change the car, won’t the old car naturally remain?”

“… Yes, right?”

Kang Tae-han answered in a questionable way, as it was a natural statement that said that after changing clothes, the clothes you were wearing came back.

“So I was going to sell some cars… The dealers said they were trying to beat everyone up. All the dealers I used to know quit, so it’s really embarrassing.”

“Oh, that must be in trouble.”

“So by the way… I wonder if it would be nice to give it as a return gift and at a reasonable price if it’s just Taehan students.”

“… Hmm.”

Taehan Kang put his hand on his mouth and swallowed.

‘Something seems to be connected.’

When you need an elixir, a mountain appears to save the elixir, and since you need a car, he says he will sell the car this time. Maybe it’s because we met through good deeds at first, but it feels like things are connecting in a very strange way.

“I rode the car in Santa Fe for about five years, but when I work, I ride a truck, so the mileage is not long. The accident was about scraping while parking in the past… … .”

Shin Jun-ho continued to talk about tea-related information, assuming that Kang Tae-han’s silence was contemplating.

Kang Tae-han nodded at the right moment even though he didn’t know much about cars. When Shin Jun-ho finished speaking, Kang Tae-han quietly opened his mouth.

“What do you think the price is?”

“First… The price you have in mind.”

It was a sudden word, so I don’t have a price in mind.

In my heart, I just wanted to give it to you, but I didn’t think a great person like this would accept it, so I had to put a nominal price on it.

Would this be enough?

Just in time, the car stopped at a traffic light, so Shin Joon-ho hinted at the amount that popped into his head.

“… President Shin, it could be rude.”

Kang Tae-han didn’t know much about cars, and he didn’t even know the market price of used cars.

“Isn’t it a defective item?”

The price Shin Jun-ho said was about the same as a small car with major flaws, even if you set it well, it was a cheap price that Kang Tae-han could see as a problem.
