Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord

Chapter 2380: Chapter 2380: Dry Weather, Beware of Fire

"Bring out all your specialty dishes for me." Although I had lunch just now, I really feel hungry. Mainly, I was scared of being hungry in the underground palace; that feeling of hunger was unbearable. Better to fill my stomach first.

Thin Man: "Another pot of wine."

The waiter responded loudly, "Alright!"

Fat Man immediately stopped him, saying, "Hey! Buddy, no, we’re not drinking wine."

Thin Man got irritated upon hearing this. They didn’t know if they’d still be alive in two days, and his brother wouldn’t even let him have a drink. So, he angrily said, "Fatty Brother, you’re not being fair. Do you feel heartache just because Big Brother wants a drink?"

Fat Man didn’t get angry. He smiled and leaned in to whisper in his ear, "Brother, did you forget? We can’t drink alcohol because of this poison?"

The elder in the underground palace hadn’t mentioned that this poison was incompatible with alcohol, resulting in immediate death upon consumption, but there were always such rumors in the Itinerant World. Whether true or not, it’s better to be cautious.

Only then did Thin Man calm down, realizing his brother was thinking of him.

The brothers were whispering to each other, not knowing what they were muttering about. The waiter was already very busy and getting a bit impatient, as the shopkeeper kept urging him, so he asked, "Gentlemen, still want the wine?"

Thin Man: "No, no, just hurry up with the food. We’re starving."

Waiter: "Alright! Gentlemen, please wait a moment, your food will be here soon."

The shopkeeper at the counter shouted, "Xiao Mao, quickly serve the wine to the gentlemen by the window."

"Alright! Coming!" The waiter rushed over quickly.

Soon, the waiter served them their meals. After a hearty feast, they packed some cooked meat buns and such, then returned to the residence.

At midnight, the whole place was silent, and Fat Man suddenly jumped out of bed.

Because he was too fat, when he jumped, the whole bed shook. Thin Man, who was sleeping soundly, turned over impatiently, murmuring, "Fatty Brother, what are you doing? Can’t you let people sleep?"

"Sleep? The time has come, get up quickly!"

"So sleepy... just wait a bit longer." Thin Man kept his eyes closed, reluctant to get up.

"Brother, don’t sleep anymore. If you keep sleeping, we might be sleeping permanently in a few days." He forcefully shook his brother’s body.

Thin Man shivered all over. Oh, how did he forget he was poisoned? He hurriedly sprang up like a carp flipping out of water.

Clumsily, he grabbed the clothes from the end of the bed and put them on.

"Fatty Brother, this time, don’t go down there and cause trouble. If we get stuck in the tunnel again, we might really not make it out."

Last time, they got stuck in the tunnel, which is why they’re now poisoned.

Being buried alive was an awful feeling. Fat Man swore he’d never go back down. With the last incident in mind, he’d be crazy to do it again.

"Brother, don’t worry. I’m not stupid; I won’t go down. You take care, if you don’t find it, come back quickly. Don’t get caught."

"Alright, alright, I know, stop nagging."

Uncovering the bedboard, Thin Man carefully crawled into the dark hole. When he was halfway in, he poked his head out and shouted to his brother, "Fatty Brother, pass me the oil lamp."

"Sure thing!"

Soon, Fat Man’s silhouette vanished into the dark hole, and there was no more sound.

Waiting is the most agonizing.

Two hours...

Four hours...

Gradually, Fat Man started to get restless. Why hasn’t Big Brother come back yet? He even felt an urge to check the tunnel, but recalling the previous ordeal, he halted his steps.

At this moment, the sound of the night watchman’s drum echoed outside...

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Immediately, someone shouted, "The weather is dry, be careful of fire, lock your doors and windows, watch out for thieves."
