Why it never ends

"Can't you see the dishes in the upper row?" Mercury Needle standing behind Eleven said suddenly.

The mercury needle in front also turned around, "... yes."

Eleven's face flushed again, she was embarrassed to admit it, but felt that all this was so obvious that she couldn't lie.

Just as she was thinking about how to answer, one person had already taken the plate in her hand, and the other picked her up, pointing to each dish and asking her if she would like to eat it.

This sense of tension remained until she was seated on Eleven. She carefully observed the changes around her and everyone who passed by her.

Sometimes, other big sisters passing by will come to say hello, and some of them will ask, "Where did you pick up a child?"There was no need for Eleven to speak, and the elder sister beside her would answer for her, "This is the child's reward."

Eleven inevitably felt guilty.She was really afraid that someone would pester her and ask her exactly what she did to get paid... Fortunately, almost no one was more curious about this answer, and everyone always nodded happily, and then chatted about other things.

Some elder sisters even touched her head and said with emotion: "So small? It's hard work."

At most, Eleven replied vaguely "no", and spent the rest of the time scrambling for food - she ate very quickly, some pieces of meat and vegetables were just chewed by her a few times before they were eaten whole.

All kinds of sweet and sweet flavors were intertwined on the tip of her tongue, and this feeling was like being plunged into the most wonderful kaleidoscope in the world.The taste of the food turned into a specific torrent of light and shadow. She was in it, and before she had time to carefully observe the graceful scene that extended to her eyes at this moment, she was pulled and fell into the next light field.

The meal was rushed, but willing.It's a pity that her stomach can't be as unlimited as her appetite, and she had to stop when her stomach hurt.

The stomach is heavy, and the feeling of swelling makes Eleven unable to move. A full belch hits her, and she often has to straighten her neck for a long time before she can stop the urge to vomit, but her eyes are still fixed on the pudding cup in her hand .

I always feel that in just a few minutes, another spoonful of pudding can be stuffed into my stomach.

The young eleventh half leaned on the chair, experiencing a kind of happiness close to pain for the first time in his life.

While waiting, her eyes scanned the decoration in the restaurant boredly.Suddenly, a badge on the wall came into view. Eleven was taken aback for a moment, then turned his head and pulled the sleeve of his sister next to him twice.

"……elder sister."

"Huh?" Several people beside her looked over at the same time.

Eleven pointing weakly at the wall, his expression complicated for a while.

"You guys, you guys wouldn't be... mercury needles, would you?"

……

At night, a mercury needle drives Shiyi back to the intersection where the hotel is located.Eleven walked back with difficulty leaning on the wall, and as soon as he entered the hotel, he saw Hesta and the hotel owner sitting in the lobby drinking tea.

"You're back." Hesta waved her hand and asked in a straight voice, "How's your dinner?"

Eleven glared at the store owner, and pulled Hesta up the stairs.

Back in the room, Eleven fell on the bed.She held Hesta's hand, looked up and down on Hesta, and finally asked suspiciously, "You...you tell me, don't tell lies."

"Ok?"

Eleven wrote the letters AHgAs on the palm of Hesta's left hand, and then poked Hesta's heart, "Are you also a mercury needle?"

Seeing Eleven's nervous expression, Hesta laughed, then shook his head.

Eleven breathed a long sigh of relief, suddenly feeling lucky to have found something lost.When she came back to her senses, she slapped Hesta's palm hard, "I was scared to death!"

Eleven buried her face in the pillow, lying on her side, leaving half of her eyes to look at the big man she picked up yesterday.

Yes, it should not be.

Mercury needles always have a place to live, and I have never heard of a mercury needle wandering the streets.

Moreover, they are all very imposing, and I have never seen a mercury needle with a broken arm and a missing leg...

So Hesta sure isn't.

"I have another question," Eleven whispered, "What does 'it's my reward' mean? Why did they take me to dinner after hearing that?"

Hesta, who was reading a small advertisement, looked up at the question—she understood the question, but her vocabulary wasn't strong enough to explain it.

Just as she was racking her brains to recall the vocabulary, Eleven had already asked the next question.

"Also, who is Eureka?"

"Eureka, it's a mercury needle." Hesta answered quickly this time.

"There is really something about mercury needles here!" Eleven immediately opened his eyes wide, "Do you recognize mercury needles?"

"Yeah." Hesta nodded.

"I understand!" Eleven sat up from the bed, "You helped a mercury needle, and then this mercury needle promised to give you a meal as a reward, as long as you go to a fixed place and report her name, you can honor it. Yes or no!"

Hesta didn't understand, but still gave Eleven a thumbs up.

"That makes sense," Eleven recalled what happened tonight, "This kind of thing is very common in mercury needles, isn't it? So when other people hear my answer today, everyone seems to be very familiar with it." ...ah yes, that makes sense..."

Eleven finally closed her eyes and calmed down, but not long after, she turned around again, "Have you been chatting downstairs all night?"

Hesta nodded, "That boss, practice with me and correct your pronunciation."

"Don't be fooled by him!" Eleven sat up from the bed, this sudden movement touched her abdomen, making her uncomfortable, but the little girl immediately sat next to Hesta, "He told you Is there any way to make money?"

"what?"

"The way! The way! Make money!" Eleven grabbed Hesta's quilt, "Did you tell me?"

Hesta shook his head.

"Okay..." Eleven pushed Hesta to the other side of the bed, and then lay down himself.

The two lay quietly together. After more than an hour, Eleven finally felt a little more comfortable in her stomach. She turned over, "Jane?"

"Ok?"

"Will you live here in the future, or will you go back to the third district?"

It took Eleven a few minutes for Hesta to understand the question. After thinking for a while, Hesta could only answer "I don't know either."

This answer did not satisfy Eleven, but it made her make up some kind of determination.

The little girl hugged Hesta's left arm, and stretched out a foot to rest on Hesta.Hesta didn't respond at first, but after a while she quietly pushed the little girl's foot away.

"I've decided," Eleven suddenly straightened up on the bed, "Tomorrow, I'll take you to a place too."
