Rated F for Farming, Now Every Guild Bids on My Vegetables novel · Chapter 19 of 32
Chapter 19: Past the Hour
Bom came through his door at the end of that Market with a sack of flour on her shoulder.
Nobody had bid on the tomatoes but her, with forty coins from a purse the Cheongju woman tossed her across the aisle.
"Pay me back in roots," the woman had called after her.
On the grass the hood fell from his head, and Bom set the sack down by the stone.
[Visitor: one hour.]
[Term met. 40 XP.]
He looked at the knot at the neck of the sack before he looked at anything else.
It was a double loop with the tail tucked under, the knot Grandma tied on seed sacks so mice couldn't work it loose.
"She came down to the Cheongju kitchen when she heard I was buying flour," Bom said. "She wouldn't let the cook tie it."
He crouched and put his thumb on the knot and didn't untie it.
Then he thought the word Status, because he needed something to look at that wasn't Bom.
[Ju Gyu-ho. Keeper of an unlisted floor. Day 74.]
[Sow, Level 5. XP: 39,896 of 45,000.]
[Health: 58 of 100. Stamina: 47 of 100.]
[Hunger: mild. Thirst: none.]
[Coins: 22,268. Lots per Market: 3.]
Twenty-two thousand coins was over two billion won, and he still slept under one army blanket from Busan.
"There are six Hanbat raiders at the bottom of the Market stairs," Bom said. "Waiting for me."
"Yook wants a word in the bridal suite."
He stood up.
"Then don't go down," he said.
"I have an hour."
She walked to the lean-to and asked for a root for the other twin, and he pulled one and gave it to her.
She went straight to the gray doorway with it, because the doorway stayed open until the hour ran out.
She stepped into it and stopped dead.
She tried again, shoulder first.
"It won't let it out," she said.
