Chapter 4 - Nothing Was More Important Than The Pengornis Drawings

Chapter 4 – Nothing Was More Important Than The Pengornis Drawings

This was probably the best sleep Wu Xingzi had experienced in a long time.

Ever since that big flood, he had never slept so well. Waking up in the morning, he felt refreshed and invigorated. It felt like he had expelled all the gloom from his body, and now he felt bright and lithe.

After breakfast, he saw that it was not yet time to report to work. He again studied those five drawings he had looked through repeatedly last night, and as he was looking through them, something emerged in his mind.

Would I also have to send a drawing of my own shaft? If so, he would really be unable to do it, but… He exhaled, stacking the five drawings neatly together and carefully placing them in a rattan case that had long since been empty. After that, he placed a scent pouch that would repel insects inside it as well.

Picking up The Pengornisseur, he came to a decision.

Last night’s experience was like an enlightenment for him. Wu Xingzi had an epiphany. His life had been too mundane, there were so many things in this world that were more interesting than he had thought. If he did not try them out, it would be such a waste.

There were over a hundred people in The Pengornisseur, although not everyone was outstanding, they were still all proper and dependable. At first, he had only wanted to find a life partner or someone he could talk to, so he had made his selection carefully.

However, what if… everyone was accustomed to sending such drawings? Even if he was really unable to become penpals with that manager of a jewelery shop on page seventeen, but it would not stop him from admiring the manager’s… pengornis.

It was said that: Desire for food and sex was just part of human nature.

As a man, although Wu Xingzi was introverted and also had an inferiority complex, this did not mean that he would not be interested in getting some. The more, the merrier. After all, more birds, more luck!

If he had to interact with many people, he would definitely be unable to do it. But if he was to “judge” these pengornises, then… Thinking about it, he was really quite excited!

Not realising that his thoughts had already completely deviated from his original ideas, Wu Xingzi made a decision. He would send a letter to everyone in The Pengornisseur. With more than hundred drawings of phalluses, it was enough to last him for two to three years.

Unlike the painful struggle he had over using fifty coins a few days ago, in the half hour before he had to report to the magistrate’s office, he prepared ten letters. He was thankful that he had also bought a brush, ink and paper that day he picked up The Pengornisseur, so there was enough for him to use recklessly.

Having never purchased anything good in his life, and even buying the cheapest option for his New Year goods, Wu Xingzi entered the new world of making friends through the pigeon express.

From that day on, Wu Xingzi would hitch a ride on Old Liu’s cart every other day, sending his letters and collecting his replies. However, he had never spent a second coin on the same person.

After half a month’s time, he had collected about 50 drawings. Storing them neatly in the rattan case, he would flip through them every night before sleep, and select two or three for his enjoyment that night.

Wu Xingzi had never expected that his little entertainment would attract the suspicions of Auntie Liu. Having wasted a day and losing the opportunity to go to Goose City to collect his replies, Wu Xingzi finally left the Lius’ place, his head full of regrets.
