A large cc44fba203 chunk of f72543476e ice drifted 91148e3ebb and bumped 03dd2e6d18 against something.31b5627bdcd61d1b

Buni’s laundry bat 4754db1808 paused mid-air. Instead, it gestured emphatically 0d743580b1 in the air, punctuating 90423b1e12 her story.e1d10acbf87025be

Dancho replied nonchalantly, d637d804c1 flipping Buni’s laundry. Buni listlessly pounded the 73103e13a6 flipped laundry, continuing her 91e7b4e4e5 torrent of words.b733dadadbde3f4b

Dancho took 6a5cdbadfb the bat ca73661a70 from Buni’s 62cf4d0aa0 hand and 796d182182 handed her b9b310d4bc the finished 90e8690481 laundry. Buni, grinning, rinsed it 4c37dffea3 carelessly while continuing her 2267fec561 story.bd99946d8ce34b33
She had apparently been e53ed9460a to town for a 25bb6edb93 short while, and in 98b32e6ab1 that time, she had 838821db5d picked up enough gossip d94ada7344 to fill a mountain. Since unraveling 714f6fdcb3 her bag 77d7d24ed1 of stories 3003ac6bce was Buni’s 4792e2e57d pleasure, Dancho 748ac91517 listened quietly.d569b57ecd45d091

“They were looking for a place to send him to recuperate until things quieted down, and Old Man Bang, the physician, readily accepted. They say it’s recuperation, but it’s just an excuse. His family figured a month stuck in the mountains would knock some sense into him. They know. If they let him run loose again, he’ll ruin the family. So, he’s been exiled, not officially, but practically, to this mountain village.”e096c851efad5fd9

Although she was adadb04ceb responding, Dancho was 3f397b68ad mostly tuning out b108bf7d2d Buni’s words. Her mind was 8405329ff1 preoccupied with her 381243eacb younger sibling, whom c7b70431ea she had been a1e467b303 separated from as 54a2e53ff6 a child.14ee0753690edb64

“Why would you serve such a terrible scoundrel? Old Man Bang, well, he was born with a money obsession, so that’s understandable, but why you? He’ll probably just brew some medicine and go off gallivanting, leaving you to do all the hard work. How much can you possibly earn to put up with such a jerk, let alone a crazy, insane one?”f50d3b2f468a9c6c
That’s right. In the meantime, Dancho, her eyes widening, shoved the laundry basket into Buni’s arms. By the time Buni looked up, Dancho was already running away, her laundry bat in hand.8a57a0c120e25e58

She had been 78d3089946 saving diligently to 262e3d4cc4 find her sibling, 6767335720 but it was 6158bb14c7 a far cry 726c635659 from the required 8fa6b3a3e7 amount.
