When Lucy heard Samuel say this, she guessed that he must regularly sell the medicinal materials he collected. She thought about it; Samuel gave her quite a bit of money last time, and even if he saved every penny he earned from work, it probably wouldn't have been enough.

"Once we're back home for dinner, you can rest. I'll finish my chores in the afternoon and then pick you up to sell ginseng in town," said Samuel as they headed down the mountain, just as cautious as on their way up, eliminating any dangers and obstacles along the way.
"This ginseng must be worth a lot of money. Can the people in town really afford that much?" The way down the mountain was even more challenging than the way up. Lucy held Samuel's hand for reassurance, but still kept her eyes glued to the ground, afraid of tripping.
