After coming out of the villa area, Zhou Ze did not rush to take a taxi, but planned to walk on the road alone at night.
Wang Ke said that there was no big problem on his side, and he only needed to cut off Xu Le’s previous network of relationships. Of course, it has actually been cut off now.
Since I treated Dr. Lin like that, I thought Dr. Lin would not talk to me for some time. As for my parents-in-law's house, I hadn't been back for several days.
The only difficult thing may be my own bookstore. After all, the money to open the bookstore was given by my father-in-law.
Let’s leave it at that for now. I need to calm down during this period of time.
There was an overpass in front. Zhou Ze walked up, sat down on a step, took out his cell phone and flipped through it casually.
Coincidentally, Zhou Ze clicked on that live broadcast software. Xu Le followed a lot of gaming and appearance-based anchors during his lifetime, but Zhou Ze was not very interested in any of these. Scrolling down, Zhou Ze saw that the veteran anchor he watched last time was still not broadcasting.
It hasn't been aired for such a long time, I guess it's really not airing anymore.
The anchor industry seems easy, and you can make money sitting at home, but the pressure is also very high. Not to mention not broadcasting for a month or two, even if you don't broadcast for a few days, your broadcast may become a thing of the past.
But at this moment, Zhou Ze found an unread message in his account. He clicked it and found that it was a private message from the Taoist priest, which was sent the day before yesterday.
"I'm in Tongcheng now, dear, would you like to get together with me?"
The Taoist’s phone number is also attached below.
Zhou Ze frowned slightly. In addition to the message, the Taoist priest also left many loving emoticons. Then Zhou Ze looked through the information of Xu Le's account.
Female number,
And the address is Tongcheng.
Xu Le must have tried live streaming before, so he has his own live streaming room, but its popularity is very low.
Zhou Ze finally figured out where this strange feeling came from. The news from the old Taoist priest clearly had the intention of screwing his fans. He came to Tongcheng because of some things and looked for his fans in Tongcheng, casting a wide net to make some money.
Zhou Ze was not interested in this old Taoist priest. What he was interested in was the young man who had difficulty drinking porridge and appeared in the old Taoist priest's video.
However, Zhou Ze still replied with a message using his own number.
Standing up and stretching, Zhou Ze prepared to leave. He missed his freezer a little.
However, the cell phone rang at this moment.
I picked up the phone and the caller ID showed a number from Chengdu.
Zhou Ze answered the phone.
"Hey, benefactor, where are you?"
The Taoist priest had a very loud voice, as if he was yelling into a cell phone speaker, and there seemed to be the sound of trains around him.
"Where are you?" Zhou Ze asked.
Is that old Taoist very idle? He doesn’t have many fans, so why does he reply to my messages so quickly every time
Could it be that the brand of female fans is really attractive
“Huh…” The old Taoist was startled and silent for a while. He didn’t expect that the fan he was planning to date was actually a man!
A big, cute girl!
sad,
Lost,
Sad!
But the old Taoist immediately changed his tone and cried out at the top of his lungs:
"Brother, I'm hungry. Please give me three or five bottles. Give me something to eat!"
… … …
After taking a taxi, Zhou Ze found the old Taoist priest in a bump under a railway bridge. The old Taoist priest was wearing a dirty Taoist robe, his hair was disheveled, and there were some bruises on his face. He looked like a refugee. He was lying on a plastic board below.
There is a "Longtan Home Cooking" restaurant on the nearby street. Zhou Ze ordered two bowls of noodles, a plate of fried Kung Pao chicken and a plate of small miscellaneous fish for him. The old Taoist enjoyed the meal very much.
"Brother, you are so nice!" The old Taoist ate a bowl of noodles and finally began to slow down. He then asked the boss to warm up a pot of rice wine. Then he smiled apologetically at Zhou Ze. He had little money in his pocket, so Zhou Ze would definitely pay for the meal.
"How did you become like this?" There was a glass of water in front of Zhou Ze, and he didn't touch the food on the table.
"Oh, don't mention it." The old Taoist took a sip of noodle soup and smacked his lips. "I've just been unlucky lately. I was originally following a film crew to Tongcheng to film."
"Changed career?"
"I guess so. I don't want to do live streaming for a while." The old Taoist sighed, "People always have to have some dreams, right?"
"That's right." Zhou Ze nodded.
"My future dream is to star in a "Mr. Zombie" movie, no matter it's the third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh or eighth." When talking about his dream, the old Taoist's whole temperament seemed to have changed a little.
"How come you're doing so badly in the crew?" Zhou Ze asked curiously.
"Hehe, I was originally a minor supporting role in the crew, but who knows what fate does to me."
The wine is coming.
The old Taoist first poured a cup for Zhou Ze, then filled his own cup as well. He then took a small sip and narrowed his eyes:
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, it's beautiful. It's beautiful."
Zhou Ze picked up the boiled water and took another sip.
"The assistant director is a piece of shit. He wanted to take advantage of the little actress. The girl was probably not even 18 years old. The girl cried and refused.
I happened to run into him, so I went up and beat up the assistant director."
The old Taoist patted his chest and said:
“Making money is making money, becoming famous is becoming famous, but no matter what we do, we can’t go against our conscience, right
Brother, is this the truth? "
"Yeah." Zhou Ze responded, "So you were fired?"
"No, he didn't dare to bring this up." The old Taoist continued to laugh, "I beat him up, and many people know about it. He doesn't dare to treat me like this, otherwise his reputation will be completely ruined."
"Then?"
"Then, the little actress I rescued that night walked into the assistant director's room on her own initiative the next night and didn't come out the whole night."
The old Taoist said these words with some regret, "They are all pitiful people, and they all have a hard time."
"And then?"
"Then that little actress accused me of taking advantage of her and molesting her. The assistant director didn't intervene, and the big director fired me from the crew." The old Taoist continued to smile, but there was a hint of bitterness in his smile.
"Let's drink." Zhou Ze said.
"Come on, have one!" The old Taoist picked up the wine glass and saw that Zhou Ze was holding boiled water. He immediately said, "You look down on me, don't you? Let's have a glass of wine. My brother is in trouble today. Thank you for taking care of me. We will meet again in the future. One day when my brother has money, he will take care of me."
Zhou Ze shook his head, "I'm allergic to alcohol."
"Okay then, let's use tea instead of wine!"
The two clinked glasses and the old Taoist drank it all in one gulp.
Life is filled with grievances, wasted time, resentment, and inequality.
All in one glass of wine.
"You have no money?" Zhou Ze asked. In fact, this question did not need to be asked.
"Yeah." The Taoist said with anticipation, expecting Zhou Ze to lend him some money. He had some money left before, but it was all funded out at the beginning of the month. Now he was fired from his job, so he suddenly became tight on money.
"Oh." Zhou Ze nodded.
“… …” The old Taoist suddenly felt that the way the person in front of him chatted gave him a sense of familiarity.
WTF
, you say "Oh",
Why did you ask me if I had money
Zhou Ze stood up, paid the bill, and prepared to leave. He invited the Taoist priest to have a meal purely because Zhou Ze was a little bored tonight and wanted to find someone to talk to.
I could have gone back to look for Xu Qinglang, but Xu Qinglang closed the shop early tonight and the roller shutter was drawn, so I couldn't find him.
Now, he is tired and wants to go back and rest.
"Brother, do you run a bookstore?" asked the old Taoist.
"Um."
"Opening a bookstore is not profitable, right?" The old Taoist spread out his palms and pinched his fingers as if he was doing calculations.
"Um."
"I think it's more profitable to open a ghost shop." The old Taoist saw that Zhou Ze didn't seem to be very interested in his "calculations". Well, the man in front of him was born under the red flag and didn't care about feudal superstitions at all, so the old Taoist gave up the idea.
"Underworld shop?" Zhou Ze shook his head, "I don't want to open it."
He is a ghost himself, why would he open a ghost shop
"To be honest, I used to run a ghost shop in Chengdu." The old Taoist took out a stack of ghost money from his pocket, "Brother, thank you for the meal today. I don't have much to give you, but you can take this stack of ghost money first, and don't be in a hurry to scold me. Of course, you can't spend this money, but it has good deeds on it, so you can carry it with you, don't be afraid of bad luck, it can bring you some good luck."
Zhou Ze didn't reach out for the money.
Who is crazy enough to put a stack of paper money for the dead on their body
“Brother, don’t disbelieve me.” Seeing Zhou Ze didn’t want it, the old Taoist got anxious and directly opened his Taoist robe, pointed at the wound on his right chest and said, “It was a stack of ghost money that saved my life.”
"Okay, okay, I'll take it."
Zhou Ze was too lazy to watch a grown man exposing his breasts in front of him, so he just reached out and took the paper money.
"I remember watching your video. There was another person in the underworld store. That person had a hard time drinking porridge." Zhou Ze asked.
"Oh, him. He's an employee I hired. He's so lazy. He just basks in the sun all day and does nothing. I scold him every day, saying that he can't be so lazy at such a young age."
"Oh, does he have anorexia?" Zhou Ze asked.
"I guess so." Speaking of that man, the old Taoist felt a little disappointed. "Why, is he handsome?"
"No, I just feel a little familiar."
"What a friendly guy." The old Taoist looked like he had heard a funny joke.
You are friendly with ghosts, so are you also a ghost
Hahahahahahaha,
I am dying of laughter!
The two men walked out of the store together, and Zhou Ze gave the Taoist priest a cigarette. There was a supermarket next door that was still open, with a small fruit stand at the door.
"Just stand here and don't move. I'll go buy you some oranges." The old Taoist joked.
"I'll just eat two, and the rest are yours." Zhou Ze replied.
“What?” The old Taoist thought that Zhou Ze was a little out of touch and didn’t understand his joke. It was a bit boring. This bookstore owner must be a nerd.
Zhou Ze didn't explain either.
In fact, "I'm going to buy some oranges, you just stand here and don't move" is from what the father said to his son in Zhu Ziqing's "Back Figure".
What Zhou Ze said was what the grandfather said to his grandson in "Camel Xiangzi".
Finally, Zhou Ze reached out and patted the old Taoist on the shoulder, "I'm leaving, take care."
The old Taoist was just about to say something,
Suddenly he covered his crotch.
Then there was a smell of burning hair.
"Damn it! I'm going to be burned to death!"
