Chapter 29: Peasant Girl vs. Princess of the Former Dynasty (4)

"Ergou, if you become rich and powerful, please don't forget me." Shi Yi carefully examined the sword in his hand. Although it looked rusty, it was indeed Wang Qi's personal item.

Of course, this was definitely not a fishbone sword. As the name suggests, a fishbone sword must be small and sharp like a fishbone.

"That's a must. When I, Ergou, become successful, I will come back to marry you." Wang Ergou was so proud that he even imitated the adults in speaking quickly. After he finished speaking, he scratched his head shyly.

"Marry me?" Shi Yi stared at Wang Ergou, who grew up with him, curiously, and his eyes seemed to ask, "What's wrong with your brain?"

"You look at me like this, don't you believe me?" Wang Ergou stiffened his neck, trying to prove the credibility of his words. In his mind, marrying Shi Yi was like having a playmate at home.

Even though he is usually more naughty than anyone else, if you really count his friends, you will find that he only has Shi Yi, who is willing to bear the beating of his mother to play with him.

Shi Yi thought about their current ages and understood his thoughts, so he smiled and said frankly: "Okay, when you become successful, you will marry me. I want to wear the most beautiful wedding dress in the world and the biggest pearls."

"No problem." Wang Ergou patted his chest and vowed: "When I, Wang Ergou, really become successful, I will give you all the good things in the world. What's mine is yours."

"You are worthy of being my good Ergou." Shi Yi carefully wrapped the sword back into the cloth and put it back in place, then patted the arm of the little boy in front of him in a brotherly manner. Her dark face, eyes were clear and bright.

"What about you?" Wang Ergou suddenly moved close to her and stared into her eyes.

Although Wang Ergou and Shi Yi grew up together, it was the first time for them to look at each other at such a close distance. She was so close that he could see the fine hairs on her face.

Shi Yi pushed him away with some disgust, "What?" In fact, he was not used to the distance between them.

"You said I was the best to you, so shouldn't you be the best to me too?!" Wang Ergou kept asking.

He would never suffer a loss.

"Of course I am the best to you." Shi Yi suddenly widened his eyes and looked at him and said, "Am I not good to you on weekdays?!"

"That's not the case." Wang Ergou touched his hair embarrassedly.

He usually liked to brag and lie. Other people of the same age were unwilling to play with him. Only she in front of him was always deceived by him and kept playing with him.

"Speaking of this, I remembered that there are two boiled sweet potatoes in our pot. I'll go back and get them for you." Shi Yi knew that Wang Ergou's useless father would not cook for him, and Wang Ergou must still be hungry now. I don't know how he grew up all these years.

"Have you eaten yet?" Wang Ergou knew that the two boiled sweet potatoes must be her rations, but she thought about him every day when she ate.

Although Wang Ergou was thick-skinned, he was never such a person who didn't know how to repay. Therefore, he immediately swore that when he grew up, he would definitely join the army, and then come back to marry her when he made a career.

"I ate it." Shi Yi lied without changing his expression, "Come back with me, otherwise my mother will scold you again

when she comes back." It has been a long time since Shi Yi's mother disliked Wang Ergou, and Wang Ergou has long been accustomed to it.

"Wait for me to put the sword back." Wang Ergou rolled up his sleeves and tried to move the pig trough to restore it to its original appearance.

Wang Ergou used to brag that he was a descendant of General Wang Qi, but one day he really found Wang Qi's "fishbone sword", proving that he was a descendant of Wang Qi, but he didn't dare to brag. This incident also became a secret between him and Shi Yi.

After the two shared the secret, they dragged each other back to Shi's family.

Seeing that his mother was not at home, Shi Yi secretly took two sweet potatoes and the only multi-grain steamed bun from the steamer and ran out.

When Wang Ergou saw the food, his eyes lit up. Without waiting for Shi Yi to call him, he took it and started to eat it up.

"Eat slowly, eat slowly." Shi Yi was afraid that he would choke, so he kept helping him to breathe.

"It's delicious. I haven't eaten a full meal in a long time."

The feeling of the steaming food going down his stomach was extraordinary. Wang Ergou leaned over the water tank and drank another sip of cold water, then lay down on the mud with satisfaction.

"Wang Ergou, go home soon. When your father comes back from drinking, he will beat you again if he sees that you are not at home." Shi Yi wrapped the half sweet potato he had left in a lotus leaf and stuffed it into his palm.

"You haven't eaten it yet." Wang Ergou refused.

He knew that this was the meal her mother had left for her. If he ate it, she would have nothing.

"You eat it. My mother will come back to cook noodle soup for me tonight." Shi Yi turned around and ran into the house to get an egg for him, "If your father doesn't cook for you tonight, you can cook this egg."

"If your mother finds out that the egg is missing, she will beat you, but I don't want it." Although Wang Ergou has many problems, he still knows a certain degree of propriety. So over the years, although he is annoying, it has not reached the point where everyone wants to drive him out of the village.

"No, I hid it secretly without telling my mother." Shi Yi blinked his eyes and saw Gui Linzhi and his mother coming over with a backpack from a distance, and hurriedly pushed him away, "My mother will see you."

"You really won't be beaten?" Wang Ergou held the egg in his hand, still confused in his heart.

"Really not, you should leave quickly." Shi Yi wanted to kick him.

If he was really seen by his mother, he would really be beaten.

"Then I'm leaving." Wang Ergou shook the sweet potato and egg in his hand, turned over neatly, and was already outside the fence.

Unfortunately, Shi Yi's sharp-eyed mother saw them. She trotted after Wang Ergou, cursing, "It's you who led our Shi Yi astray. She was such a well-behaved girl, but she followed you around and got tanned like a black tree trunk."

"Shi Yi was originally dark." Wang Ergou turned back and made faces at Shi Yi

while running. Shi Yi stood inside the fence, looking at him, laughing all the time.

"You are a pervert." Shi Yi's mother turned around and scolded her daughter.

"Mom, don't be angry. I'm hungry, just waiting for you to come back and cook." Shi Yi grabbed her hand and started to act like a spoiled child.

"I owe you, my little ancestor." Shi Yi's mother rubbed her head a few times, took her hand and went into the house.

However, what everyone didn't know was that such a peaceful life would not last long.
