Hurry up! We're all still waiting!
Still dazed, Li Nidao stared at the big basin of food. Without thinking, he scooped up a huge spoonful of rice, and everyone's eyes went wide!
Before Li Nidao could even pick up a dish, a crowd of fellow beggars shoved him aside.
"Are you all starving ghosts reborn?" Li Nidao muttered.
The beggars were instantly outraged. Someone had finally been kind enough to give them a meal, and this kid had taken such a huge scoop, then mocked them for being starving ghosts reborn?
But since they were all beggars, no one said anything. They silently clutched their bowls and wolfed down the food, grabbing handfuls of rice and shoving them into their mouths, swallowing the mud on their hands along with it. They looked like hungry ghosts devouring a feast.
Li Nidao ate in a daze too, when suddenly his mind seemed to shut down.
Thud.
Li Nidao's head slammed into the ground. Countless fragments of memory reassembled in his mind!
What a nuisance. If the young lady comes by and sees this corpse, she'll be so upset!
"That's true. Let's throw it away."
"These beggars die, they die. Don't let them spoil the young lady's kind heart!"
"It's just a shame about the bowl and the rice. He died, fine, but he still broke a bowl! He deserved to die!"
As one man grumbled, another urged him to get rid of the body.
The two had only just approached Li Nidao when they caught a foul stench from him. He'd just crawled out of the latrine
