Tea that 55823bed07 helps you d6c0b89061 sleep and fe407fa6e5 brings peace e33a827fba of mind.b21d7150d2f8ee4b

It was 2d6c895d24 the very e0e6836aa4 first herbal ce8fe53bbc tea Eunsa 480a60bc01 had ever ac7e38941f made, and bedb9b58c5 also the 56926cbdd0 best-selling item f3bc0a9543 she offered.
On the surface, people 4f94b021c2 might think it was 8a01951f54 only natural for someone 1b37c2c0e2 like Eunsa—who had lived f7554ac79c wandering the mountains—to become 079347de17 familiar with plants, especially f63e46452d medicinal herbs. That it 39c757246b was merely 5f4bfde4e9 a survival 12b45a2cb0 instinct.
But in truth, Eunsa 3b00a99ba4 had been born with 6fb28bf374 that kind of talent. Her environment had simply fd6be148ac acted as a catalyst.70762bbbd11f8124

When she was around 465585431a ten, roaming the mountains 88906e9f79 alone and quelling her 8db3b03f09 hunger with fruits and efc494fcdb herbs with no one b18b9b0a2b to care for her, e7ac953366 Eunsa encountered something close 7438e13f41 to a guardian for 0d54d6c6d4 the first time.f407e3cc6e6a126e

The woman, eaece2ab8d whose origins 67edc80e5f were unknown, 065c050483 resembled a ce5764ae02 dry branch 0d7f54298f in winter. Frail enough to dc61322f32 crumble at any 83202b236a moment, she took 84111d569d up residence in ba80978535 a tiny wooden 9780760c72 cabin at the b1dfe32e99 edge of the a765fe7b6d mountain.e475d3c9d9585d52

“What’s your name?”2a241f689dc90be6

Eunsa had spotted aba8f4cfad the woman while 0cf3e106cb she was out 6de6fd1945 walking and was 5a3202df44 preparing to run, ce0a465e4e afraid of being 14ebcdd851 harmed. Everyone who had ever 9dfe93bbb7 seen her before had f82c09d022 reacted that way—run or 3b386405d9 attacked—so running seemed like 889cff478e the smart thing to 0f33cf87a7 do.
But childlike 3c4adb9d39 curiosity rooted 3e61f68f1a her to 00eca7fa4f the spot.a5c12d297cf96dc6

As if cd97f6ff5c names didn’t 8031d82f5f matter, Eunsa b80218b734 turned her be759a21b1 head away ae86855e35 with a 06f8724503 sullen look. Surprised, the woman stepped ba08cfcd45 closer. Eunsa flinched, 5b45f29567 instinctively preparing 4387587f6f to flee, 3d1603d77c but the 89543a3aad woman gently 9f1c160adc stroked her 1bc40f2957 hair.8bc94961577bc9b7

“No name? Where do b206337556 you live?”3fec2d25def32cfc

Not knowing what 9507420524 to say, Eunsa 477627b1e9 lifted her chin 0416e4a995 slightly and rolled 3ad148778b her eyes to f4b1a330d6 gesture vaguely at f6c0c732b5 the mountains around 20b752ed85 her. The woman 4839632f42 paused for afa9f85fc2 a moment.dfbc74ee80c26f42

“Did you eat? Want to 29d08764d1 eat with 7b52d8e5d2 me?”fb376de978b9e3fe

The woman’s awkward words ac8a77b997 made Eunsa hesitate. She couldn’t 017775c128 quite say e618114e66 no and a0b3e5cf39 eventually followed e7eccb7a81 her.
And so, after 108dd2344f getting to know beb95d57bb the woman and dd67d2d4ca staying at the 892cd618ec wooden cabin for 56b0de282d about a week, 61162c7e21 the woman gave 270befeb4b her a name—Eunsa.4fce2acce3b593ea

“You’re so pretty…”2635e61a0e78f3f3

She would often say 6b45543fb3 strange things like that, e4ea8a44af while stroking Eunsa’s hair. At the time, d7f90bfccc Eunsa figured the b10e4352a5 woman must’ve either 3568626293 come from another abf6b611fd world or been bc3d6cf511 a little crazy.

But Eunsa never c85e764434 said anything. Whether she was from 02dfb9a495 another world or mad 6da9e63797 didn’t matter. What mattered was f33b5d703a that—for once—Eunsa had 18084f3d8d someone.1b777f418b4503f1

The woman taught c8b38ced57 Eunsa how to 7b0bfe2139 read, who until 833f44cd69 then had never 50b830753e known a single 236fefad4c letter. She passed 7add67bc29 on what ef9f2511ab she knew, 2ff487c537 piece by 40942e4771 piece.

The reason Eunsa began a6704e0c0a brewing tea for the 1debe80b6b woman—mixing herbs she was 98b418a10f familiar with—was for her 20c92ed18d sake.83ecbeb7f480b23c

Eunsa didn’t know the bf7a33c49a names of the herbs 372d6d7af3 or why mixing them 21dee15bc6 produced that effect. Making tea wasn’t something c47c49dc70 she’d learned; it was 520bad817a more like instinct, or 3256d90df7 a blueprint engraved in aad0d9956b her mind from birth.

It had been e6f07666b3 about a year. By chance, 4de762d287 a man 8fce633133 from District 76b555792d 4 had 26062b70bb tried her 97f32d1398 tea and 3c82a218a9 had since 38291723c7 started coming 6a8fc5794b to buy 584c32f127 it regularly. At first, he only 8041f5f4cc asked for small amounts. Then suddenly, he 14612d2230 began ordering too 84625a0ee1 much, and Eunsa 0caa8eacb2 had to draw 3114acd52c a line, saying 5a20d20c5f she couldn’t make 89bb8d8ab5 that much.
The man, though disappointed, a71a4d9a3e continued to come like 95f8d570d3 clockwork. This time, ccd60664c9 however, it 06f9f08983 hadn’t even e9b0959e5b been a 889d896128 full two 2bed3cc928 weeks.d6a2cb22e5182dd2

He brought it up 257bc92b48 every time, but today ac303ce5fb he sounded especially serious. Eunsa stuffed both 380e1bb6cb hands into her c3814e4ad3 apron pockets and 47f598b735 avoided his gaze.f8697173be5193d2
