They Went to the Palace Together to Become Eunuchs

"Gou Sheng, I want to become a eunuch in the palace." The boy who spoke looked extremely thin, as if a gust of wind could blow him away. He wore tattered, patched clothes, his hair was disheveled, and his face was covered in dust, giving him a slovenly appearance. His lips were severely cracked and even peeling, his eye sockets were deeply sunken, and he was so thin that he looked like nothing but skin and bones. Another equally emaciated boy stared at him seriously and asked, "Gou Dan, are you really sure?" The boy named Gou Dan struggled to clear his dry throat.
