Whether it was Shen Qiqi or Qiu Changfeng, neither of them really wanted to come in to eat.
Not to mention Miss Shen, she has kept her head down since she came in, and she looks like she wishes she could wear a mask behind her veil for double protection.
Naturally, I have no appetite.
So the responsibility of ordering dishes fell on Xie Beiming. Xie Beiming was not polite and ordered according to Shen Qiqi's taste.
When the dishes were served, there was a large table full of dishes, most of which were Shen Qiqi's favorites. Shen Qiqi was so surprised that she couldn't help but look at him again and again, thinking that Mr. Xie was really a worm in her stomach, and he even knew what she liked to eat so clearly.
The food in Yuzhou is spicy, and if you are not careful, you may easily choke on the chili and squint your eyes. Therefore, the locals have learned from their experience and most of them eat without saying a word.
After eating and drinking their fill, everyone started talking.
At first they were just chatting about this and that, but then someone at one table started talking about how they got up in the middle of the night a few days ago to burn paper money.
This happened only a few days ago, and almost all the people in the city participated in it, so as soon as the topic started, everyone started talking about it.
"We burned so much paper money that night, but I don't know if Miss Shen's soul has returned."
"That depends on whether those little ghosts who received the gifts can help us convey our message to Miss Shen."
"Yes, as long as those little devils convey our words to Miss Shen and let her know that we don't hate her in our hearts, I believe Miss Shen will be willing to come back."
"Poor Miss Shen, she has suffered so much for so many years."
…
Just as Shen Qiqi expected, people generally spoke highly of Miss Shen.
Miss Shen didn't know about the people getting up in the middle of the night to burn paper money for her. After listening to Shen Qiqi's story, she was immediately moved.
Her heart, which had been hanging in the air since she entered Yuzhou City, could finally settle down after listening to the voices of the world.
But at this moment, a voice suddenly said: "Why is she so pitiful? She deserves it!"
It was a female voice, sharp and shrill, sounding particularly harsh.
Miss Shen's heart, which had just settled down, suddenly rose again. Her hands on the table were unconsciously clenched together, and her finger bones turned bluish-white.
Everyone looked towards the voice.
Shen Qiqi also looked at the man angrily.
The owner of the voice was a young girl, about fifteen or sixteen years old, very thin, and her face looked sallow and somewhat malnourished.
Looking at her clothes again, she was wearing a tattered dress that was starched to a white color. She was carrying a bamboo basket in her hand, and there were some vegetable leaves in the basket.
Judging from the mud spots on the girl's skirt and the yellow mud around her shoes, she should be a farm girl delivering food to a restaurant.
As expected, before the girl's voice even fell, the old shopkeeper ran over and pushed her out anxiously: "Young lady, how can you be so full of nonsense! If you dare to talk nonsense again, we will not accept any food from you and your daughter!"
"Even if you don't accept it, I will still tell you!" the girl said, and pushed the old shopkeeper away.
Although the old shopkeeper has the word "old" in his head, he is actually only in his forties and is still quite strong. In addition, he is a bit fat, and the girl is thin and weak. Logically speaking, it is not so easy for the girl to push him away.
However, the girl easily pushed him away and threw him to the ground.
Shen Qiqi was a little surprised. She raised her eyebrows and looked at the girl carefully again. Only then did she realize that she was not an ordinary farm girl.
This girl has some cultivation, but it's relatively low, only at the second level of spiritual master.
Although the girl was dressed simply, a closer look revealed that her back was straight and her gestures were different from those of ordinary peasant girls. She had a sense of superiority that came from being raised in a large family.
