His legs were numb from squatting, and he was wobbling slightly. He had to be careful not to fall into the pit.
"What kind of filth is this? It's even more difficult to deal with than the Qiao family in the capital."
Pei Shijiu cursed, his face ashen.
A faint voice echoed in his mind: "What is the Second Young Master doing? Has he eaten dinner yet?"
Pei Shijiu: "Huh?" Then his eyes widened.
What's going on? It's like there's a somewhat familiar person speaking in his head.
This was definitely not his hallucination, but something that truly reached his ears, only it didn't come from outside, but from the depths of his mind.
This is amazing!
Pei Shijiu was completely astonished by this unusual phenomenon and completely forgot what had happened to her brother earlier.
Qiao Lian'er had only asked casually, but she didn't expect Pei Shijiu to actually be eating.
She had originally thought that she should let people eat first, but she was exhausted from traveling all day and was about to go to sleep, so she decided to say a few more words.
When you communicate with her, she can speak or communicate with your mind.
"What are some good places to eat? Can you tell me?"
Qiao Lian'er didn't expect to get any useful information from Pei Shijiu, who was just a child; she was just chatting with him.
Pei Shijiu immediately realized it was the little girl. That's right, the little girl had finally come to find him.
Waaaaah.
Pei Shijiu's eyes were misty, whether from being held back by Xiang or from being moved.
But what good food? He was squatting in the outhouse, suffering from constipation, and the stench kept getting into his nostrils. He wanted to die.
He just couldn't understand why, when the little girl was talking to her older brother, he was lying on the soft, fragrant couch, in such an elegant posture.
But he was in the outhouse, suffering terribly from constipation, one hand still holding onto the wall, looking as unsightly as could be.
Pei Shijiu was somewhat desperate.
But since it was the first time the little girl had spoken to him, he couldn't possibly spoil her fun by saying he was in the outhouse. He suppressed the urge to cry and read out the menu to her.
"There's shredded pork with sweet bean sauce, Kung Pao chicken, three delicacies of deer antler, clear soup bird's nest, and braised shark fin—little girl, do you want to eat it?"
These are all famous delicacies from the capital, and Qiao Lian'er naturally wanted to try them.
"Sounds good, but I wonder who will treat me to these when I go to the capital."
"You're just talking, but you're not coming. If you really come, I'll treat you to 108 dishes at one table, the kind of state banquet the emperor would host for envoys. You can eat there every day until you're sick of it. I'll also take you on a tour of the entire capital, to all the fun things to do. There are so many interesting things here, unlike your poor, remote place."
Pei Shijiu had already forgotten about holding a grudge, and as soon as Qiao Lian'er's voice rang out, he thought of throwing out these tempting offers to get her to come to the capital as soon as possible.
Qiao Lian'er was indeed tempted. The capital was a wonderful place, a place that everyone in the world longed for. There were countless delicious foods and fun activities. It didn't need to be as exaggerated as 108 dishes, but it was certainly possible to enjoy it for a while.
"Okay, if we get through this smoothly, I'll come to the capital and have a great time for a month."
"Really? You'd better keep your word."
"I never break my word, but I'm afraid that I might bother the Second Young Master in the end."
"How could I possibly be annoyed? I was afraid you wouldn't come. We made a pinky promise, okay? It's a promise for a hundred years, and whoever breaks it is a little dog."
Pei Shijiu said, freeing his hand from the wall, but made a pinky promise in the air.
His body swayed, his foot slipped, he lost his balance, and with a splash, he fell into the pit.
