Late Night Bookstore

Chapter 32: Eat well, drink well

Views:

The world is becoming more corrupt and people’s hearts are no longer the same as they used to be!

Many people are lamenting that in this day and age, the whole society has been washed away by the materialistic trend, and even marriage has been put on the scales for equal trading.

However, these days even ghosts are starting to pay attention to this when they get married!

You have more than 20 houses.

What a coincidence,

My wife has more than 20 tombs.

They are a perfect match!

Happy, happy,

Everyone is happy!

After the suona-playing old man asked this question, Zhou Ze's mouth twitched subconsciously.

He was trying to hold back his laughter, but at the same time, he felt really happy in his heart.

Zhou Ze has long wanted to beat up his neighbor who always says "I have more than twenty houses". This ghost lady came at the right time.

What goes around comes around!

Xu Qinglang was so scared that sweat broke out on his face. He was a mystic, but he was nothing more than someone who could use his yin-yang eyes to play with puppets and incorporate some "Sichuan Opera face-changing" tricks. He was not the type of Zhang Tianshi in the true sense, otherwise he would not have been so cowardly when facing the little loli.

Xu Qinglang immediately woke up and began to look up.

Look up at the sky.

What did you say

I don't understand.

That person,

I don't know.

Then, Xu Qinglang's eyelids suddenly twitched, because he saw Zhou Ze's right hand, which was originally placed at his side, raised an index finger and pointed directly at him.

“@#¥%… *&*!!!!!”

Ten thousand bottles of sour plum juice were rushing through Xu Qinglang's heart!

The two suona players walked directly to both sides of Xu Qinglang and said respectfully:

"Please get into the sedan, young master."

Well, it turns out that this sedan chair is not used to pick up the ghost messenger, but was specially used by the ghost lady to marry her groom.

Zhou Ze redefined his identity as a "temporary worker" in his mind.

"Don't pull me, don't pull me, don't force me!

Be careful or I might get angry with you!"

Xu Qinglang was pushed towards the sedan chair by the suona player, but he kept struggling.

He just said that he wanted to start a new life and find a partner, but he didn't mean to do anything bad!

"Zhou Ze, you cheated me, you hurt me!" Xu Qinglang shouted, feeling as if a good girl was forced to become a prostitute.

Would rather die than surrender,

Chastity lasts forever!

"Let's go and take a look. Maybe the ghost lady looks like Joey Wong. You won't suffer any loss, right?" Zhou Ze said with a smile.

Xu Qinglang was pushed into the sedan chair, and the suona player said to Zhou Ze, "You can follow me, and I will lead the way."

After saying that, the suona player pointed to the electric car parked in front of Xu Qinglang's door:

"You can ride on the upper part."

Zhou Ze remembered that the last time he rode in the paper car driven by the ghost driver, he was still safely delivered to the door of the bookstore. It was obvious that some ghosts did possess abilities similar to "Qi Men Dun Jia", and some theories of physics could not be explained on them.

The electric bike belonged to Xu Qinglang, and Zhou Ze didn't hesitate. After locking the shop door, he rode the electric bike and followed the sedan in front.

The sedan bearers walked very fast.

The steps under my feet are still nine shallow and one deep.

Whenever it reached that "deep" level, the eight sedan bearers and two suona players would jump together, causing the sedan to sway as well.

Next,

Xu Qinglang, who was sitting in the bridal sedan, would let out a cry of "Ah";

Like the gentle chirping of a yellow oriole, it is gentle, charming and inspiring.

When Zhou Ze drove the electric car and sat next to the sedan chair, Xu Qinglang opened the curtain of the sedan chair and looked out. At this time, Xu Qinglang's face was rosy and his eyes seemed to be filled with a nourished amorous glance.

Her pearly teeth bit her red lips, making her look shy and charming.

At this time, the sedan bearers suddenly raised the sedan.

"ah!"

Xu Qinglang screamed again subconsciously, with anger on his face. He stared at Zhou Ze, feeling so ashamed!

Zhou Ze held the handlebars of the electric bike with one hand and waved his other hand gently, saying disdainfully:

"shame."

"This sedan has an impact on the soul and will stimulate the soul!" Xu Qinglang had to explain. He was really worried that Zhou Ze would feel that he was enjoying it and couldn't extricate himself.

"To explain is to cover up." Zhou Ze, "to say one thing and to act another."

“… …”Xu Qinglang.

With one last hateful glance at Zhou Ze, Xu Qinglang lowered the curtain.

That glance was as if looking at a heartless man who was willing to sacrifice himself for fame and fortune!

In fact, Zhou Ze could see that the sedan bearers and the suona players were moving according to a special rhythm. They were just puppets, and their real selves should be paper figures produced by a paper-making shop, a bit similar to the wooden ox and flowing horse designed by Zhuge Liang during the Three Kingdoms period.

The sedan bearers continued to do "nine shallow and one deep".

Xu Qinglang would let out an "ah" every once in a while.

Zhou Ze followed along in his electric scooter.

Before they knew it, the team had passed the city and entered Tongzhou District.

A few years ago, Tongzhou District was still a county under Tongcheng, and it had just been changed from a county to a district. Zhou Ze had been to this place last time when he helped the old lady in the morgue to find money.

Finally, the sedan bearers entered a piece of wasteland diagonally below Jianghai Avenue. There were high-rise buildings on all sides, and this was probably a place where construction had been stranded due to special reasons.

The road inside was not easy to drive on, so Zhou Ze had to get out of the car and push the electric bike forward.

A few dozen meters further ahead,

Suddenly,

suddenly see the light!

The originally dark, lonely and desolate area was suddenly decorated with lights. In front, there were more than 20 open-air banquet tables, and on each table, there were ten plates of cold dishes neatly placed there.

There were crowds of people, with makeup on and laughter everywhere.

Someone with a curious mind shouted at the top of his voice: "The groom is here!"

For a moment, beauties in pink hairpins and skirts swarmed in, and Zhou Ze only felt that he was surrounded by many beautiful women, it was so lively. Some people just passed through him and the car, back and forth, tirelessly.

Zhou Ze's right hand was clenched tightly, and the mark was still hot.

In fact, Zhou Ze could clearly see without the mark's reminder that the place in front of him should be the place that the ghost catcher needed to deal with.

Because the ghosts here have been organized and established under the call of the ghost lady, this is certainly intolerable!

But Zhou Ze was still enduring it. For one thing, he had just started working as a temporary worker, so he shouldn't rush into making big moves as a new official. Otherwise, he might get burned to death. After all, in the world of the living, when something went wrong in any department, it was the temporary workers who would take the blame. Zhou Ze felt that the underworld should be similar. After all, people in the world of the living go to the underworld when they die.

Furthermore, Zhou Ze also knew that if it was really easy to deal with, why didn’t the little Loli solve it herself

The other party even dared to invite a ghost like me to come and congratulate them, which was enough to show how confident they were.

"Get off the sedan!"

The bearers lowered the sedan together and Xu Qinglang was pushed out. He was very reserved and shy, and at the same time, he was filled with shame and indignation.

"Madam invites you."

A woman in a black ancient dress walked up to Zhou Ze and Xu Qinglang and bowed.

"Walking."

Zhou Ze patted Xu Qinglang on the shoulder.

Xu Qinglang slapped Zhou Ze's hand away in disgust, but still followed Zhou Ze forward.

Walking across the table, Zhou Ze felt a little uncomfortable seeing all kinds of ghosts pointing and talking around him. Fortunately, when he arrived in front of a two-story small red house, the various noises around him finally disappeared.

The building was decorated with lights, large lanterns, and new Spring Festival couplets, creating a lively and festive scene.

The layout of the building is very similar to that of modern buildings. The door in the middle is the living room. The maid in the black skirt motioned Zhou Ze and Xu Qinglang to go in.

"Are you looking forward to it?" Zhou Ze suddenly asked, "If you really have the same temperament as Joey Wong, don't be too happy."

"I expect she'll like 'One Dragon and Two Phoenixes'."

Xu Qinglang said viciously, clearly intending to drag Zhou Ze down with him if he got into trouble.

It was really that Zhou Ze had been trying too hard to take advantage of him along the way, as if he was just trying to make fun of him!

Doesn't he always like to say that he has more than 20 houses

Isn't this the truth!

Is he showing off on purpose

As you enter the hall, you will see a bright red carpet under your feet and exquisite cross-stitch hanging on the walls.

A woman in a red wedding dress sat gracefully at a small table.

There were exquisite dishes and wine on the small table.

"Sir, please take a seat."

The woman stood up and motioned for the two to take a seat.

Because the woman's face was covered by a veil, it was difficult to see clearly.

But the sound is really beautiful.

Zhou Ze took a seat and pulled Xu Qinglang, and Xu Qinglang sat down reluctantly.

Let's just make the best of it and see what tricks she plays.

The dishes on the small table are very delicate and fragrant, and the wine is very mellow and refreshing.

"Sir, please enjoy your meal." The ghost lady extended her hand to signal the two to eat.

Zhou Ze didn't move and remained reserved.

Xu Qinglang, with a look of grief and indignation on his face, drank three cups and then shouted: Good wine!

Then, he kept eating, completely turning his grief and anger into appetite.

Zhou Ze watched from the side as his chest rose and fell, and covered his mouth with his hands.

"What's wrong with you? Eat, it's delicious, better than what I cook myself." Xu Qinglang is a chef himself, so he can naturally tell the quality of a dish.

You never watch horror movies

Zhou Ze thought to himself.

But he still didn't say anything. Instead, he picked up the chopsticks to help Xu Qinglang put some food into his bowl and said:

"Be good and eat more. There's no sour plum juice here. I can't eat, you know."

Xu Qinglang snorted twice, without suspecting anything, and continued eating. He wanted to die with a full stomach!

Moreover, it is really delicious!

Xu Qinglang was thinking about whether he should find an opportunity to discuss and learn the recipe from Mrs. Ghost later. If these dishes were put on the market, even the top chefs in five-star hotels would not be able to make them taste so good.

Waiting for Xu Qinglang to eat a round,

Zhou Ze nodded with satisfaction.

He asked Madam Ghost, "Madam, may I ask how this dish is made?"

"You are too polite, sir. This wine is brewed by me using the urine of passers-by.

This meal is carefully prepared by me using the freshest snakes, insects, rats and ants..."

Xu Qinglang's expression suddenly changed.

He pointed at Zhou Ze, but before he could say anything,

direct:

"Ugh..."
