In a snack street somewhere in Changzhou City, not many street lights on both sides can be lit normally, but there are so many vendors and diners below, creating a hot and bustling atmosphere.
A young man walked slowly down the street holding the hand of a little girl.
The aroma of various snacks coming from both sides is enough to make others salivate.
But for these two people, one big and one small,
It can only make them frown.
Except when it is necessary to eat for the three meals a day, they would drink a little bit of the red spider lily oral liquid. At other times, they would save as much as possible. When they did not take the oral liquid, the smell of food was a torture to them, similar to the torture of ordinary people walking in a garbage dump.
After walking for a while, they stopped together in a dark alley at the corner of the snack street.
Even the most bustling place has quiet corners, and this place is no exception. Several tricycles that the sanitation workers will use for work tomorrow are locked here. There is also a large trash can next to it, which is full of things.
Therefore, the stalls in the food court are all far away from here. After all, the things sold in the stalls are not very clean. Although you won’t get sick if you eat unclean things, if customers are asked to eat next to a garbage dump, probably few customers would be willing to do so.
Therefore,
This was the only place on the street that was free of the smell of cooking fumes, and there was no food floating around. Although it was mixed with the sour smell of the garbage dump, it made Zhou Ze and the little girl breathe a sigh of relief.
I just feel like this is a place where people can breathe a little more normally.
Zhou Ze looked at the little girl and pursed his lips.
Little Loli turned her head sideways.
“The stars are so beautiful tonight.”
"It's cloudy today."
The little girl was stunned for a moment and glanced at Zhou Ze with dissatisfaction.
Zhou Ze took a step back and looked at her.
The little girl clenched one fist towards Zhou Ze and shook the other fist.
The clenched fist slowly raised a middle finger towards Zhou Ze.
Zhou Ze shrugged.
Don't care,
Who told him to be mysophobic
Take a deep breath.
The little girl walked into the garbage dump with disgust and reached out to throw away the garbage on top.
A girl as delicate as a porcelain doll was rummaging through the garbage dump like a scavenger. If Andersen had seen this, he would probably have written a story called "The Little Girl Picking Up Garbage".
finally,
After pushing aside a few more garbage bags,
A bruised face was revealed.
Liu Chuyu, who was originally handsome and had the temperament of a Korean Oppa,
Lying down here,
He looks sickly.
The little girl reached out and patted the other person on the face.
“Snap! Snap! Snap!”
Zhou Ze's brows trembled slightly.
He was afraid that the little loli would beat Liu Chuyu to death, who was not dead yet.
Zhou Ze knew that this was the little girl venting her resentment about picking up garbage. She didn't dare to get angry at Zhou Ze, and could only blame Liu Chuyu for being so useless that he was beaten and thrown into the garbage dump.
Fortunately,
Liu Chuyu's vitality is still strong.
Or maybe the other party was disdainful or deliberately didn't kill him.
After being slapped a few times,
Liu Chuyu opened his eyes slowly.
He first saw the little girl and was stunned for a moment. He didn't recognize her.
Then,
He saw Zhou Ze standing behind the little Lolita.
This man whom he had always hated so much that he wanted to make a paper figurine to curse him,
The next moment,
He was so moved that he shed tears.
Like a child who was bullied by classmates at school and went home crying:
“Wow, wow, wow… My life… is so miserable…”
… … …
Liu Chuyu's home is in an ordinary community. He first bought the house on the ground floor, and then bought the houses on the two floors above him and connected them together, which is equivalent to a small villa inside.
The decoration of the house is quite simple. There are two nice cars parked in the garage, but the house decoration leaves large areas of white rough surface.
The bedroom is even more simple and exaggerated.
A cool mat and an air conditioner.
There is nothing else besides this.
The little girl went to buy a lot of medical supplies. Zhou Ze had just bandaged Liu Chuyu. Although the external injuries were quite serious, especially the fingerprints on the chest, with the left breast as the center, there were five concave points that were still emitting bursts of heat, as if he had been poisoned by fire. However, the problem was not serious, at least his life was not in danger.
After bandaging the wound, Zhou Ze went to wash his hands, then walked back and lit a cigarette.
"Go ahead." The little loli nodded slightly to Liu Chuyu.
There is no need to hide it any more at this time.
prey,
Only if you have the ability to capture it.
It's called prey.
If your prey turns over and beats you up,
You should have some idea of who the real prey is, right
So at this time, there was no need for Liu Chuyu to hide his GPA or something for fear of having his GPA robbed. On the contrary, if Zhou Ze could help him catch the prey, he could also get a little bit of GPA, which could be considered a kind of consolation and compensation, even though the majority of it would not be his.
"I was about to catch him."
Liu Chuyu lost two teeth, and they were his front teeth, so he has some leakage when speaking now.
"I have been chasing that guy for two days. He is very cunning and good at hiding, but I still tracked him down. He wanted to resist, but his resistance was just a struggle of a trapped beast in front of me."
"Get to the point." Zhou Ze knocked on the windowsill.
"What's the point?" Liu Chuyu asked.
"Let's start from the time you were beaten."
“… …”Liu Chuyu.
After two seconds of silence, Liu Chuyu continued, "Everything was under my control, and then another guy suddenly appeared and grabbed me with his claws. Then I felt that I lost all my strength."
"Then the injuries on your body were also caused by him?"
Zhou Ze pointed to his face.
Liu Chuyu shook his head. "It was the evil ghost I was chasing before. When he saw me being knocked down, he came up and beat me up. It was the person who showed up later who stopped him from going on. Otherwise, I would have reported back to hell by now."
"Okay, I understand." Zhou Ze nodded, "I'll help you with this matter for the time being. After all, you are my subordinate."
"I have no objection." Liu Chuyu seemed very free and easy. "I am in this state now, so it is impossible for me to have any objection."
"By the way, I have one more thing to ask you. Are there any other ghost messengers in Changzhou?"
"There are two more. They are together."
"Where?"
"They are similar to you. They opened a shop, but it is a nightclub called 'Dark Color'. You can search it on the map. This nightclub is quite famous in Changzhou."
"When something happens to you, they are indifferent?" Zhou Ze narrowed his eyes, "Or, they are not interested in the reward for hunting down evil spirits at all?"
"Boss, let me put it this way, their attitude towards life and work is more exaggerated than yours."
"What do you mean?" Zhou Ze looked at Liu Chuyu.
"It means I'm even more useless than you." The little girl explained.
"Oh."
Zhou Ze did not continue to dwell on this topic, but asked: "Do you have any clues about the captured evil ghost?"
“Yes, this guy was a bus driver in his previous life. He caused a car accident due to his own operating error. Eleven passengers, including himself, died because of him.
I found out his identity, so I deliberately set up surveillance near his home and discovered his whereabouts.
Anyone who is reborn wants to go back and see his home, his wife and children. "
"Do you think he will go again?" Zhou Ze pointed at Liu Chuyu, "You are like this now. If he wanted to go, he should have gone a long time ago."
"His wife remarried a long time ago. His mother felt very remorseful for her son's affairs and has been living in a temple in Changzhou. His daughter worked as a nurse in the hospital a few years ago, but she resigned last year and found a job in the temple to take care of her grandmother.
That temple is still very powerful, and it has a restraining effect on people like us. I also ordered my younger brothers to keep an eye on the grandfather and grandson from the outside. It will be difficult for them to meet for a while."
"What a hassle." The little girl pouted.
"You know that the ghost messenger can't sense their location?" Liu Chuyu said excitedly, "Damn it, they are very capable of hiding their aura. Even if they pass by him in person, you can't sense it."
As they were talking,
Liu Chuyu took a deep look at Zhou Ze.
road:
"Boss, I don't know if this girl told you,
Among the evil spirits that escaped,
More than 90% of them are here to deliver food, just consider it as a New Year's gift to us ghost messengers.
But there are also some people who have background and prior arrangements.
For example... this one.
It took me a lot of effort to find out his identity, and after unraveling the mystery, I finally tracked him down."
"Since you know he has a backer, why are you still so persistent?"
"Boss, not everyone is as open-minded as you are about making money from coffins.
I want grades.
I still want to climb up.
I don’t want to be a ghost messenger in this place for more than ten years or even half a century!”
"Lin Ke, change the dressing for him in an hour." Zhou Ze gave some instructions to the little Lolita, then went downstairs by himself.
After Zhou Ze walked out, the little girl bent down and looked at Liu Chuyu who was sitting on the mat. "The speech just now was good. It can be included in the textbook after some revision and polishing.
It's called "My Struggle - Ghost Messenger".
Or it could be called "After death, we must not only love, but also struggle."
"This is what I really think." Liu Chuyu said calmly.
"Yeah, I know, I believe you."
"All the ghost messengers in your city are very strange."
"A bit unprofessional?" The little girl helped him describe it.
Liu Chuyu smiled.
The little Loli also smiled and asked, "How did you die in your previous life?"
"The company worked overtime continuously and died from overwork."
The little Loli pouted.
“In this life, I think you are likely to follow the old path. People who are too active and want to climb up often don’t get the good results they expect.
Instead, they just eat and wait to die and bask in the sun every day.
Good things will come to you one after another.”
"Haha, where did you hear this heresy?"
The little girl was stunned for a moment, then looked at the door of the room Zhou Ze had just left, shook her head, and said:
"I didn't hear it.
I saw it.”
