It was starting to get dark so Xiao Tangqiu and Tang Mianmian hastily looked for the restroom. When they finally located it, they mentally prepared themselves to face that awful, primitive toilet. They both pinched their noses, tried to block out any disgusting odors and charged into the restroom.

These pit latrines were extremely basic and crude. They were made out of a few planks of wood that were arranged over the pit, and there were several holes between the planks that covered the septic tank below. These holes were s.p.a.ced out from each other, essentially creating the makes.h.i.+ft '"squat toilets” that were separated from each other by wooden boards. 1oIFN3

Xiao Tangqiu hesitated for a bit before picking the innermost stall that had a window, hoping that there would be better circulation in that stall.

But even then, he couldn't stop the terrible stench that a.s.sailed his nostrils. He quickly finished up and left without giving Tang Mianmian the chance to speak to him.

Nearby the restroom was a well, which seemed to be used for was.h.i.+ng hands. By the side of the well, there was a small wooden bucket which was half-filled with water that didn't look very clean.

Xiao Tangqiu frowned slightly; according to his experience, it didn't matter whether it was a horror movie or a video game, wells were definitely a no-no. It was almost as if he could see a Flag standing tall and waving high. EHa729

Thus, he decided to use the water in the small bucket. Although it looked a bit turbid, there shouldn't be anything wrong with it, right?

Xiao Tangqiu was was.h.i.+ng his hands when he suddenly heard an earth-shattering scream.

"AH! AH! AH!"

His hearing acuity was only average, which was why he was previously unable to recognize right off the bat, this good friend of his, with whom he had played countless of games with. On dKt

Right now, it also took him a moment before he reacted – wasn't that Tang Mianmian's voice?

Had something happened to Tang Mianmian?!

Xiao Tangqiu stood up and turned around; he saw Tang Mianmian stumbling out of the restroom. As soon as Tang Mianmian saw Xiao Tangqiu, he immediately shouted, "Ah! Ah! Ah! There are ghosts! Let's go! We need to run away!"

Hearing that, Xiao Tangqiu didn't care about anything else and quickly followed, running after Tang Mianmian. The both of them ran in a frenzy, sprinting as fast as their legs could carry them. After running a distance, Xiao Tangqiu finally stopped, gasping for breath as he cried, "Can't…. Run…. Anymore….." XemIyO

"Why is your stamina so bad?! We barely ran!" Tang Mianmian appeared to have been scared out of his wits; his face was pale, devoid of any color. Seeing how Xiao Tangqiu could run no further, Tang Mianmian gritted his teeth, threw Xiao Tangqiu over his shoulder and bolted off.
