The Joy of Promotion

Qin Fen

Wanderer! I have some great news to tell you: I got promoted! Not only that, but I also received a waist tally. It's shiny gold and looks incredibly beautiful. I wear it on me every day, taking it out to polish whenever I'm free; I just can't get enough of it, hehe... At first, I thought it was a reward from Constable Zhen. But then he told me that the villagers chipped in their own money to forge it, just to thank me for running errands for them. Honestly, hearing that made my nose tingle and my eyes water a bit. I suddenly realized that earning a treasure like this makes me happier than being a hero!
