The next morning, for most people with normal schedules, is the most refreshing time of the day, but for people with irregular schedules, this time is often the most difficult.
Qu Zhenzhen came out of the Internet cafe upstairs holding a casserole. She was very reluctant, but had to do as her brother instructed and deliver the medicinal food to the owner of the bookstore opposite.
In Qu Zhenzhen's opinion, there was no need for the two families to interact with each other. She was impulsive last time, but her brother also gave an explanation to the other party.
After all, the other party was a bit too nosy.
But her brother seemed to care a lot about the shop owner, who was obviously just a rat. Qu Zhenzhen sometimes really didn't understand her brother's thoughts.
Open the door of the bookstore.
The bookstore's business is very quiet, unlike my own Internet cafe, which still has many customers even early in the morning.
There was a Taoist priest sitting at the bar, wearing a Taoist robe. He was holding a book with a yellow cover and reading it carefully. From time to time, he would touch his lips with his fingers, dip his fingers in saliva, and turn the pages.
Seeing a guest coming, the old Taoist raised his head and asked with some doubt:
"Looking for someone?"
Because I have never seen anyone reading a book while carrying a big casserole.
"Where is your boss?" Qu Zhenzhen asked in a casual manner.
"I just went out to buy groceries."
The Taoist priest didn't lie. The boss went out with Yingying to buy vegetables early in the morning, preparing to find some snakes, insects, rats, ants and other creatures to add some ingredients to Lao Xu's bathtub.
Sometimes the Taoist priest also felt that Lao Xu was quite pitiful, as he had been infected with corpse poison. He thought that he had also dreamed of becoming a zombie and living a hundred years. Now he felt quite fortunate, because his boss had said that more than 99% of zombies would become as intelligent as idiots, and even forget who they were, leaving only instincts.
The reason why Bai Yingying is special is because of the nurturing of Madam Bai for two hundred years.
"Then I'll wait for him to come back."
After placing the casserole on the bar, Qu Zhenzhen found a seat and sat down.
The medicinal food had been cooked in the early stages, but there were still several subsequent medicinal ingredients that needed to be put in by myself, and at the same time, the heat had to be controlled. I really couldn't just put it down and leave. My brother had been cooking for a long time, and even if I disliked the owner of the bookstore, I didn't want my brother's efforts to go to waste.
The old Taoist said nothing and continued reading his book.
After Qu Zhenzhen sat down, she began to look around the bookstore subconsciously. The layout of the bookstore was quite good, and the decoration style was also fresh and refined, showing the designer's taste.
However, opening a bookstore like this on South Street would definitely result in a loss.
He stretched himself and saw Deadpool sitting in the corner of the bookstore out of the corner of his eye. Qu Zhenzhen's face suddenly froze.
Is that guy in the cosplay costume a real person or a puppet
Qu Zhenzhen's first reaction was that it was a puppet because it didn't move at all, but for some reason, the worms in her body felt a kind of palpitating restlessness towards that thing.
With a flick of his fingertips, a small insect the size of an ordinary ladybug fell off Qu Zhenzhen's body, crawling quickly on the ground, aiming directly at Deadpool.
However, when the bug just passed through the bar, a small and cute furry claw suddenly stretched out and grabbed it at an extremely fast speed.
Then,
There was a crisp "crunching" sound coming from behind the bar.
Qu Zhenzhen frowned slightly and looked towards the bar.
The old Taoist just bent down and saw the monkey peeling a bug to eat. He immediately reached out and patted the monkey's head, pointing at it.
What I mean is, you eat such a dirty thing!
The little monkey felt very aggrieved, but he could only sit back next to the Taoist master's legs, leaning on them and playing with his mobile phone.
During the day, the monkey himself knows how to avoid suspicion and tries not to appear in public.
After the Taoist priest finished scolding the monkey for eating without thinking, he looked up and saw the girl who brought the clay pot looking at him. He immediately smiled back.
he,
Is this a provocation to me
The same smile means different things to different people.
In Qu Zhenzhen's opinion, the old Taoist had discovered her temptation and was warning her!
My brother said that most tomb robbers have special skills, and they rarely act alone. They all have their own division of labor, so they are really not easy to mess with.
Qu Zhenzhen didn’t take it seriously before, but this time, she took it seriously.
Qu Zhenzhen slowly bent down and pretended to take a nap on the table. A small snake the size of an earthworm with several colors on its body crawled out from Qu Zhenzhen's left ear, which was deliberately blocking her view.
The originally colorful snake turned into the color of the table after falling on it, and turned into the color of the floor after landing. It was like a chameleon, able to change its color according to the surrounding environment, achieving the best hiding effect.
This time,
The snake did not go over the bar again, but chose to circle around.
The little monkey who was playing with his mobile phone under the bar suddenly moved his ears. He immediately stood up and wanted to continue replenishing his protein.
But the old Taoist was quick-witted and grabbed the monkey's tail directly.
"Are you going to catch bugs again? I didn't give you any food, did I?"
As he said this, the Taoist priest hit the monkey on the head with his finger.
Monkey feels very aggrieved.
Covering his head with his hands,
Although his eyes were still wandering in that direction, he did not run away against the Taoist's wishes.
The snake was still crawling. It was moving very fast and changing very quickly according to the surrounding environment. The monkey heard the sound, but the Taoist priest, that idiot, didn't react at all.
Soon,
Soon,
Qu Zhenzhen was lying on the table with her eyes closed, but she could vaguely feel the snake's senses in her heart. She couldn't see it clearly, but she could sense it through other ways.
This is a connection between the host and the insect, a mysterious connection.
However,
When the little snake just paraded in front of Deadpool,
Deadpool, who had been motionless, suddenly lowered his head.
This is a...
He is thinking,
He is distinguishing,
It took several seconds.
Deadpool thinks this is garbage.
No trash allowed in bookstores!
Then,
Deadpool opened his mouth.
The whole person bent down quickly like a toad. Originally sitting on the chair, he quickly supported the ground with his hands, opened his mouth, stuck out his tongue, and swallowed the snake on the ground, which felt that its hidden skill had been maxed out and its tail was about to rise to the sky, into his mouth.
immediately,
In the next moment,
The corpse sat back in his original position, Bibi straightened up, as if he had not moved at all.
“Hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss…”
Qu Zhenzhen only felt a strong sense of pain, as if she was rolling in a pool of sulfuric acid. She immediately opened her eyes and cut off the last connection with the snake.
Lift your head,
With beads of sweat already on her forehead, Qu Zhenzhen looked towards the bar again in disbelief.
The old Taoist was reading a book titled "A Golden Scale Should Not Be in a Pond" with great interest.
Having just finished reading a large paragraph, the old Taoist subconsciously lit a cigarette, closed his eyes, and tapped his fingers lightly on the table.
The scenes in the book emerged in my mind, and I savored them carefully.
Reading requires thinking, and the Taoist priest calls this behavior "rumination."
But in Qu Zhenzhen's eyes, the Taoist's attitude clearly represented a kind of teasing and disdain.
He had completely seen through his own tricks and temptations, and was able to resolve them every time at a speed that was unimaginable to him. Looking at his immortal aura, it seemed as if everything was under his control.
Especially the sound of the other person's fingers tapping on the table, which seemed to be tapping on her chest again and again, making her feel so depressed that it was difficult for her to breathe.
I don't understand why that girl can imagine herself so well.
He was now just thinking about waiting for his boss and Yingying to come back. He had to take a leave in the afternoon and go out to comfort people. It was difficult for those girls to make money alone out there.
For a moment, a look of pity and concern appeared on the old Taoist's face.
Qu Zhenzhen couldn't sit still anymore, she stood up. In this place, she felt humiliated like a cat playing with a mouse, and she didn't want to suffer this humiliation.
"Excuse me, when will your boss be back?"
At the beginning, Qu Zhenzhen was not so polite, but now that one of her insects and snakes died in unclear circumstances, her attitude changed.
"Oh, probably soon." The old Taoist replied.
"Then where is your kitchen? I want to cook the remaining herbs in it first."
"Medicinal herbs? Is this stewed medicine?" The old Taoist immediately became curious.
“It’s a medicinal meal.”
"Medicinal food? What kind of supplements?"
"It nourishes the kidneys and strengthens yang."
“Woo…” The old Taoist immediately became happy.
As people get older,
Inevitably, when helping others,
It will seem a bit powerless.
The old Taoist often feels guilty for not being able to help more people due to his limited abilities. He has always had a heart to save all sentient beings.
He immediately said:
"The kitchen is upstairs. Come on, I'll take you there."
"good."
The old Taoist took Qu Zhenzhen to the second floor. While going upstairs, Qu Zhenzhen took another look at Deadpool sitting in the corner.
"Here, girl, this is the kitchen, please go in and use it."
The Taoist priest opened the kitchen door.
After Qu Zhenzhen went in, she found that the interior was well decorated and had all kinds of appliances.
"By the way, girl, is this the medicinal food that our boss ordered?" asked the old Taoist.
"Yes."
"Can I drink at my age?"
"Yes, this medicinal food is very warming and nourishing."
"That's good. That's good."
The old Taoist smiled happily.
"Forehead… … "
When Qu Zhenzhen was about to open the cupboard under the stove, she found that it was locked.
"Hi, this is the kitchen our chef uses. We don't usually go in there. If he's not here, we'll just eat takeout and no one will cook.
Just wait, I'll go ask him for the key, but he has that kind of personality, he thinks the kitchen is his territory, and he won't let us touch it easily."
The old Taoist said as he walked out of the kitchen door, went to Xu Qinglang's bedroom and knocked on the door:
"Lao Xu, I'm coming in. Let me get the key to the kitchen counter."
Qu Zhenzhen subconsciously followed the Taoist priest. When the Taoist priest went in to get the key,
She turned sideways.
I took a look inside.
There is a bathtub inside.
There seemed to be a man sitting in the bathtub.
Through the white smoke above the bathtub, Qu Zhenzhen saw a creature with a blue face and fangs on both sides of its mouth slowly raising its head.
Qu Zhenzhen was so frightened that her face turned pale.
Gan Lin's mother!
them,
These grave robbers,
In this busy downtown area,
In this bookstore,
Raised a zombie!
At this moment,
Qu Zhenzhen finally understood why her brother wanted to curry favor with them.
This is really a group,
A terrifying lunatic in hiding!
