"Did you all grow up together from a young age?"
The young girl smiled and replied, "No."
"But we did indeed play together when we were quite young."
The girl continued, "Why did you say that just now?"
Little Shitou earnestly said, "Because Li Taoist was very poor!" He recalled and then solemnly said again, "He was really, really poor!"
The girl couldn't help but laugh, but Shi Yisong pondered for a long time, reminisced for a while, and said, "But even though he was this poor, he ate only pancakes every day, had to eat our scallions, ate the scallion whites himself, and gave the older scallion greens to me. He wore a faded blue Taoist robe, yet he still had a jade pendant on his waist."
"Yes, he cherished that jade pendant very much."
"Such a grown-up person, with nothing else valuable on him but that jade pendant."
"Yet he'd rather eat just pancakes and scallions every day to protect it."
"I wonder who gifted it to him?"
