Things have come to an end. The previous great voyages, including the islands and so on, seem to be a dream. After all, it is over.
To put it bluntly, goblins and ghosts are not worthy of being in the upper class, otherwise this world would not have "humans" as the protagonists. However, the lack of humanity always gives them room to act. Some people even like to bring about their own death.
Zhou Ze was not sure whether he should bring himself into the ghost's worldview or the human's worldview. In fact, many times, his own positioning was a little vague, so many times, he just regarded himself as a spectator.
Watch the flowers bloom, watch the flowers fall, watch people laugh, watch ghosts cry;
No matter what you see, if you see it too much, you will become numb to it.
Zhou Ze asked Bai Yingying to support him and went up to the second floor. Nothing here had changed. Even when he walked into the room, Zhou Ze still saw the old man lying on the sofa and sleeping soundly.
Bai Yingying was a little puzzled and asked, "Not dead?"
Zhou Ze released the python, but it failed to kill anyone
Zhou Ze shook his head. The man was already dead. The black energy on the old man's forehead could not be covered up at all. Even if he did not die instantly, he would die in an extremely painful way within the next few days and suffer a lot.
The woman was lying on the ground with her skirt lifted up, revealing a large area underneath.
Zhou Ze stared at it for a while.
Bai Yingying was pouting beside her.
After a while, Zhou Ze walked over and helped the woman tidy up her clothes. They were both fast asleep. Many things that happened before were just a dream to them, but their fate had already changed several times.
Zhou Ze walked around the house twice and found half of a snake's body behind a wall. It was a small, green snake, which had turned into a dried snake.
There was something wrong with the door of the house, as there were many strange patterns carved on it. Zhou Ze asked Bai Yingying to help him copy down all these patterns.
Then, Zhou Ze did not wake up the woman to ask about the balance, and left with Bai Yingying.
After returning to the bookstore, about a week later, Xu Qinglang also came out of the horrific atmosphere of that night and began to be responsible for everyone's meals in the bookstore.
In addition, there are one or two ghosts coming to the bookstore every night to deliver business, so Boss Zhou's life can be said to be fulfilling. The most important thing is that his body has recovered to a large extent.
Some things that should have been resolved should also be put on the agenda, for example, that priest who has been jumping around since five years ago should go to hell.
"Let's meet at the bookstore tomorrow at noon, Linke." Zhou Ze said to Bai Yingying who was pouring tea for him.
"Okay." Bai Yingying immediately took out her phone to send a message, asking, "Boss, are you planning to go find that priest?"
Zhou Ze nodded. Although the main reason for the death of the old man's family was the old man's own selfishness, the priest also played a significant role in this.
What's more, the other party also stole his ashes, so this account must be settled.
"Boss, you seem to have forgotten something very important." Bai Yingying reminded.
"What's up?"
"The final payment, we still need to pay the remaining 8 million."
"hehe."
Zhou Ze laughed.
"Boss, don't do that. Just because you think someone is pretty, you don't want money. But being pretty can't make a living."
"With the one million deposit, it will last for a long time. I have already lent you the money. Go and redeem your two burial objects."
"No, boss, how can you live like this? You don't know how expensive firewood and rice are until you manage the household. How are you going to live in the future if you take eight million so easily and don't take it seriously
It’s eight million, not eight hundred!”
Bai Yingying said in a tone that men are indeed unreliable.
"Boss, there's news in the newspaper." The old Taoist priest who had just finished mopping the floor walked over with the newspaper.
The old man died and it was reported in the newspaper. Many people went to pay their respects. The cause of death was that he was seriously ill and could not survive.
The old man was a respectable man when he was alive.
His funeral was also very grand. In fact, this is how the world is. Many people may be glorious in front of the stage, but who knows that they are thieves and prostitutes behind the scenes? They play one role in front of people and another role behind the scenes. This kind of reversal has long made the public numb.
"ah!"
Bai Yingying suddenly cried out!
"What's wrong?" Zhou Ze was holding a cup of tea, and he was so scared by her that the tea spilled out.
"Look, the boss here." Bai Yingying said, pointing to another page.
Zhou Ze looked over and saw the title:
"Rich man's widow donates all her property".
It was that woman who donated all the property she could inherit.
"Why did she do that?" Bai Yingying found it a little hard to understand.
Then, Bai Yingying looked at Zhou Ze, who had a calm face, and asked, "Boss, did you know this a long time ago?"
Zhou Ze shook his head.
"Eight million, your eight million has also been donated to the Hope Project."
"Just donate it."
"Boss, just donate whatever you want.
This is a donation of money, not eight million sperm.
Besides, boss, I am poor too, and I want to buy more burial objects, can you donate some to me too?"
Bai Yingying came up and said cutely.
"What eight million?" Xu Qinglang walked over with a cup of coffee.
"She's the wealthy female client I told you about last time. I said I had helped her solve her problem and there was still a balance of 8 million left. But after she got married, she donated all her inheritance." Bai Yingying explained to Xu Qinglang.
"Is it so exaggerated?" Xu Qinglang was also shocked. The donation figure must be calculated in billions.
"Hey, look who's here."
The old Taoist pointed at the door and said.
At the door stood a woman wearing a black dress and a black veil.
Many boys are familiar with this outfit.
A widow's attire.
The woman walked in, nodded slightly to Zhou Ze, and said, "I'm going back to my hometown county to live. I'm sorry for your balance."
"Hey, what do you mean by sorry? Do you know how poor my boss is? He can't even pay the wages, and you still swallowed his eight million!"
The old Taoist said arrogantly.
"Master, the floor is dirty."
"What?"
Then, the old Taoist saw Zhou Ze pretending to pour the tea on the ground, and he immediately shut up.
"I'm really sorry, you don't care, right?" the woman said to Zhou Ze.
"I don't care. I just hope that when I have better living conditions in the future and go to the cruise ship for barbecue, the sea will be calm."
"You are joking."
The woman turned around, pushed the door open and walked out. It seemed that she came here just to say these words.
At this time, Xu Qinglang finally came to his senses. It was so similar, really so similar. Although she was wearing a black veil to cover her face, her voice and figure were exactly the same as that woman!
Xu Qinglang immediately prepared to chase after him, but his hand was held tightly by Zhou Ze.
"What are you doing!" Xu Qinglang yelled at Zhou Ze.
"Whatever your relationship with her is, you'd better not go."
"Impossible, there are some things I must clarify!" Xu Qinglang insisted.
Zhou Ze shook his head helplessly and stood up. "Okay, I'll go with you."
Then, Zhou Ze and Xu Qinglang walked out of the bookstore together. The woman was still walking in front, and Xu Qinglang quickly caught up with her and grabbed the woman's shoulders with both hands.
The woman shuddered and asked, "Little Quail, what do you mean by this?"
Xu Qinglang's Adam's apple moved a few times, but he didn't know what to say. Should he talk about his escape
"Your hand."
After all, she was a woman with whom he had had a relationship. Although it was a fleeting romance, it was also a fate of exchanging body fluids.
Xu Qinglang reached out and grasped the woman's wrist, which was covered with scars. "This is the ointment I brought from my hometown. It can remove scars."
The woman looked at Xu Qinglang with a smile, then looked at Zhou Ze who was standing beside her. Finally, her eyes fell on Zhou Ze.
"I didn't know you had a relationship with him." Zhou Ze explained.
The woman nodded to show her belief.
Then she took the initiative to hug Xu Qinglang tightly.
Xu Qinglang was stunned.
The other person was wearing a widow's clothes and Zhou Ze was next to them, so Xu Qinglang was at a loss as to what to do.
Then,
The embarrassment ended with the sound of retching.
"Ugh..."
The woman vomited.
What came out was blood.
It splashed all over Xu Qinglang.
Then she collapsed.
"What's going on! What's going on!?"
Xu Qinglang roared as he looked at his bloody hands.
The woman had fallen to the ground, unconscious.
"She took poison." Zhou Ze said.
"Then rescue her, save her, what are you doing standing here, what are you doing!"
Xu Qinglang grabbed Zhou Ze's arm with one hand and shook it.
"It can't be saved." Zhou Ze said calmly.
"Why?"
"She wanted to die on her own."
"How could she want to die on her own?" Xu Qinglang asked in confusion.
"She must die."
Zhou Ze lit a cigarette and said, "Call 120. She took poison on her own. It has nothing to do with you. Or, you can burn some paper money. Anyway, come back after you've dealt with her."
Turning around, Zhou Ze walked back to the bookstore.
Bai Yingying saw Zhou Ze coming back alone and immediately asked, "Boss, where is Lady Xu?"
"He has some business to attend to."
"With that woman?" Bai Yingying showed a look of sudden realization, "That woman must have been attracted by your beauty and left you behind to fall in love with Lady Xu, right?"
"She's dead."
"What?"
"Dead."
"How could she be dead?"
"He committed suicide."
"How could she commit suicide?"
In Bai Yingying's opinion, that woman was materialistic, money-worshipping and hedonistic. How could such a person commit suicide
"Why did Daji die?"
"What?"
Bai Yingying didn't understand why the boss suddenly asked her this.
"You know the story of Investiture of the Gods, right?"
"I know." Bai Yingying replied.
"So why did she die in the end?"
"Because she is a bad woman. She killed loyal people and deserved to die."
“Well, in the beginning, it was actually because King Zhou was disrespectful in the Nuwa Temple, and Nuwa was furious, so she sent down three foxes, including Daji, to confuse King Zhou and accelerate the end of the Shang Dynasty.
In the end, Daji succeeded and the Shang Dynasty was destroyed. Daji originally thought that she could go back and report because her mission was indeed completed.
Jiang Ziya chased her, so she ran to Nuwa, who said:
You deserve to die.
I asked you to seduce King Zhou and end the Shang Dynasty as soon as possible, but I didn't ask you to harm the loyal and good people and exploit the common people.
Then,
Nuwa killed Daji."
"This... Boss, what do you mean..."
"The design of the house, the dried snakes that had been hidden in the house for years, and the fact that the old man ended up living in the house with only her."
"That's it..." Bai Yingying thought.
"So, she must die."
