Man: Bah! You actually made me drink your foot bath water!
A Shen: Heh, this is a century-old ginseng tonic. It boosts your virility and replenishes your energy. You’re like a wild boar that can’t appreciate fine bran!
A Shen was a hundred-year-old ginseng king who had been living a carefree life, drinking dew when she was thirsty and eating grasshoppers when she was hungry. No, wait, ecological fertilizer!
One day, to stop a shameless squirrel from peeing at her feet, A Shen fought the shameless little hooligan for three hundred rounds. Unsurprisingly, she lost. While fleeing underground in a panic, she was dug up by a human.
Washed, dried, and sliced, A Shen thought she was a goner and would soon be joining her great-grandma in the afterlife. But when she opened her eyes, she had become a little human girl.
A Shen: “…I must be Heaven’s own daughter.”
After years of drought, every family was short on food. Then A Shen arrived at the Ren family’s home…
Mother Ren: “How come we dug up wild taro again? Did we hit a whole patch of it?”
Father Ren: “Good heavens, am I seeing things? This sweet potato is bigger than my daughter’s head!”
Little Sister Ren: “Big sister, I want ginseng soup!”
A Shen: “Didn’t you just have some? Want more already? Here, go ladle yourself a bowl.”
Neighbor: “Why did I just see your daughter spit into that so-called ginseng soup?”
It looks good, let's take care of it first.
Am I the second reader? [Stare] [Stare] [Stare] There are so few raters. Are you serious about writing such a small number of words? 🤭 🤦 🤦, the writing is quite interesting.
