Do you remember the people making popcorn everywhere in the streets and alleys ten years ago
With my own little stove,
Warming the charcoal fire,
Crank the handle.
There was a constant "crackling" sound coming from the small stove, and a faint fragrance filled the air.
This is what Zhou Ze is like at this moment.
After the little Lolita put the Japanese samurai armor on Zhou Ze, the armor and Zhou Ze's body kept making this "crisp sound", like an egg being cracked and poured into a frying pan.
Bai Yingying stood by and watched with concern from time to time. She didn't care at all that her face was gradually aging, she just focused on her boss wholeheartedly.
Xu Qinglang lit a cigarette and smoked it alone.
Just like in an ordinary family, if someone is seriously ill, any family that values affection will sell everything they have to send the child to the hospital for treatment. No matter if the family will be ruined or not, at least the family will be together.
This is how Xu Qinglang feels now. No matter how badly injured everyone is or how much they pay, it is still worth it as long as everyone is fine in the end.
"Girl, take back your pearl. I am fine now."
The old Taoist woke up after two hours of sleep. He opened his eyes and saw that the bead was still rising and falling on his chest. He looked at Bai Yingying, whose hair had turned white, and felt quite distressed.
What a nice girl! Even though she's a zombie, she's still pretty. It's such a waste that she's become like this for a 70-year-old man like me.
It has to be said that although the old Taoist is a bit of a shady person and has done a lot of sneaky things, few people know that he has been donating money to support education. In Daliangshan alone, he has donated money to more than a hundred students.
At the beginning, Zhou Ze once asked him why he was still single and didn’t even have a house, even though he had made a lot of money from live streaming.
Even though live streaming is a new industry in recent years, Zhou Ze feels that since the Taoist priest used to engage in this kind of "feudal superstition" business and had the ability to swindle people out of money with his eloquence, he should not have done so badly.
Here's the reason.
The old Taoist has always felt that he is from a Taoist family. Although each generation before him was not as good as the previous one, they all had some Taoist skills and some pursuits. But by his generation, they had completely become second-rate characters. He could only do these things hoping that if he met his ancestors in the underworld, he would at least have one thing to say so as not to bring shame to his ancestors.
When Bai Yingying saw that the Taoist priest had woken up, she checked his physical condition and found that his life was not in danger. She immediately took back her elixir bead. However, her skin was wrinkled and her hair was gray at this time, and she looked like Lian Nishang in "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch".
The little Lolita has been squatting beside and watching Zhou Ze's condition. Although Zhou Ze's injuries are still getting worse, it can be seen that the speed of deterioration has slowed down a lot compared to the beginning.
Stretching out her tender hands, the little Loli tried to pull open the armor to take a look, but was shocked to find that Zhou Ze's broken flesh was actually glued to the armor.
Is this good or bad
Little Loli is unsure.
She didn't dare to tell anyone about her discovery, for fear of upsetting the female zombie who was already a little insane in her eagerness to protect her master.
The old Taoist sat up with difficulty, took the water from Xu Qinglang, drank two sips, and then looked at the boss again.
It was at this time that
Suddenly, a piece of glass embedded in the wall above shattered.
then,
A terrifying aura suddenly descended!
The female zombie trembled.
Frightened, I fell to the ground.
This was a kind of suppression from her bloodline that forced her to submit.
Father Spider-Man on the side suddenly opened his eyes at this moment, knelt on the ground, and was still trembling despite his injuries.
The little Loli stood up with a solemn face, not daring to breathe, but cold sweat was already dripping down her forehead. This breath was too terrifying, as if the other party could take her soul out of this body and devour it as long as he wanted.
On the contrary, Lao Dao and Xu Qinglang didn't feel anything, because they were not at the right level and could not experience such details.
The next moment,
The breath disappeared.
Bai Yingying immediately crawled over to see the boss.
Zhou Ze's eyes trembled slightly and he slowly opened his eyes. The first thing he saw was Bai Yingying with white hair and haggard face.
"well."
Sighed,
Zhou Ze closed his eyes again.
Firstly, at this time, his physical condition did not allow him to talk too much or do anything.
Secondly, it would be hypocritical to say too much at this time. Having lived two lives as a bachelor, Zhou Ze has never been good at dealing with such things.
so,
He continued to close his eyes.
Play dead.
This is just like when a scumbag has played with someone and then blocks their contact and pretends to be missing. This is a technology tree that men are born with and they don't need anyone to teach them.
"He's awake." said the little Loli.
“Squeak, squeak, squeak…”
Just then,
The monkey's voice came from outside, it actually found its way here!
What a clever monkey!
… … …
If it is said that Zhou Ze was just pretending to sleep at first because he was embarrassed to face Bai Yingying, Taoist Xu Qinglang and others, then afterwards he actually fainted again.
This time, my body was drained too much, and of course, my soul was also depleted a lot.
I don’t know how long I was in a coma, maybe half a month.
When Zhou Ze opened his eyes again, he found himself lying on the bed in the bedroom on the second floor of the study, and Bai Yingying was wiping his body with a wet towel.
Eye-catching,
Still white hair.
Zhou Ze subconsciously raised his hand and his fingertips touched Bai Yingying's hair.
Bai Yingying's body trembled, she turned her head, looked at Zhou Ze with surprise, and shouted, "Boss, are you awake?"
"Um."
Zhou Ze responded.
"Want to sit up?"
Zhou Ze nodded.
Bai Yingying took a pillow to cushion Zhou Ze's back and let him sit down against the window sill.
"Your face..." Zhou Ze said.
Hearing this, Bai Yingying showed a bit of loneliness on her face. She seemed to think that her boss didn't want her anymore because she was not pretty and not as fresh as a high school student. She said anxiously:
"Boss, don't worry. I will hurry up and cultivate to replenish my essence. I can wear a mask and a veil if you don't like it..."
Zhou Ze shook his head and said nothing. Once he got his body back in shape, he should be able to help Bai Yingying replenish her lost essence.
actually,
In this matter, I was wrong. I was too sympathetic and didn't care about the phone calls.
Although the ending was happy, it is undeniable that in the process, I fell into someone else's trap and put the people around me in danger, and paid a huge price.
He runs a bookstore, works as a ghost catcher, takes care of ghosts, reads newspapers, drinks coffee, and lives a leisurely life, but he doesn't know how to cherish it and always wants to be a hero.
Zhou Ze smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly, and then said, "Help me take a bath."
"Yeah, okay, boss!"
Every time Zhou Ze woke up from paralysis, his first request was for him to help him take a bath, because the boss had mysophobia and could not stand the feeling of being dirty.
Bai Yingying was very happy because she felt that Zhou Zeken was willing to let her continue to bathe him and did not despise her.
This is a naive and simple girl. Although, she is not that simple, but at least she is like that when she is with herself.
Sometimes Zhou Ze would recall the scene he recorded with a camera in the old bookstore when he saw Bai Yingying wake up and come down to stir the water in his cup with her tongue.
Now think about it,
Everyone felt that she was a little naughty at that time.
Maybe this is how people are. After getting along for a long time and getting used to each other, they will have different views on a certain thing.
Zhou Ze seemed to have forgotten that he was scared half to death when he saw this scene in the surveillance video.
Bai Yingying carried Zhou Ze downstairs and went into the bathroom. The Taoist priest and Xu Qinglang were not there. Bai Yingying said that the Taoist priest had gone to take a driver's license test, and the old Xu had returned to his hometown.
Zhou Ze remembered that the last time Lao Xu told him something happened when the graves were moved in his hometown, but he seemed to be busy with something at the time and didn't ask in detail, and he didn't explain in detail either.
As for the priest, he was cleaning there diligently. His Spider-Man clothes were torn in the last battle, so the old Taoist bought him a few new sets of clothes, which were "Deadpool" clothes.
The old Taoist said that this style was suitable for him, since he was a man with burnt skin and flesh that was not to be seen.
Sitting on the small stool in the bathroom, Bai Yingying carefully applied shower gel to Zhou Ze. There was a lot of mud on Zhou Ze's body, and you could tell what it was without having to think about it.
But this thing really works, especially when it comes to treating external injuries. Even if Zhou Ze is a germaphobe, he has no choice but to accept it.
"Once I'm well, I'll help you recover." Zhou Ze said to Bai Yingying.
"Well, thank you, boss." Bai Yingying continued to rub Zhou Ze's body, and then said, "Boss, there is not enough shower gel. I will go outside to get some."
Zhou Ze nodded.
Bai Yingying walked out of the bathroom.
Zhou Ze tilted his head slightly and struggled to stand up. He felt a crisp sound coming from all the bones in his body, which was due to lying in bed for too long.
Looking at his bearded face in the mirror, Zhou Ze suddenly felt a little strange.
However, this time seemed to be better than the previous times. I don’t know if it was because I lay down longer. In any case, when I woke up this time, all the external injuries on my body had basically recovered. Of course, my body was still very weak.
Weak to the point of
Zhou Ze's feet suddenly slipped.
The whole person fell down directly.
Zhou Ze subconsciously used his arms to touch the ground first in an attempt to offset inertia.
“Buzz!”
The pain after landing is not so clear.
Just when Zhou Ze was a little surprised,
Suddenly, I saw black armor appearing where my arms were, which blocked the impact when I landed.
Zhou Ze slowly stood up again.
I reached out to touch the piece of armor that suddenly appeared, and found that it seemed to grow on my arm. If I tore it off, that part of my arm would probably be covered in blood.
Zhou Ze looked at himself in the mirror again.
Then he took two steps back silently.
Raise your head slightly,
The next moment,
A set of black Japanese samurai armor slowly emerged from various parts of Zhou Ze's body.
Wrapping him completely inside.
In a closed bathroom,
A gust of cold wind blew immediately...
