Before daybreak, Zhou Ze took the female corpse back to the study on an electric bike. As for Xu Qinglang, he waited there for a taxi to go back.
After all, he came here in a sedan chair, and there was no sedan chair to ride in when he left.
After returning to the bookstore, Zhou Ze placed the female corpse in the freezer on the second floor of the store, then went downstairs to take a shower. When he came out after changing his clothes, Xu Qinglang, who had finally gotten a taxi, came back and walked straight into the bookstore. Looking at Zhou Ze with wet hair, he teased:
"You have to control yourself."
"Haha." Zhou Ze only replied with these two words.
Xu Qinglang shook his head and left the bookstore without saying anything else. He was also tired after what happened tonight.
Zhou Ze locked the shop door, went to the second floor, stood next to the freezer, and looked at the female corpse inside.
The female corpse had a delicate face and outstanding temperament. People in ancient times got married at a relatively early age, and it was common for women to become mothers at the age of fifteen or sixteen. Therefore, the corpse of Mrs. Bai, who died before getting married, looked about the same age as an ordinary high school student, but she had a natural charm.
Xu Qinglang's beauty is charming, like a blooming peony, while the Mrs. Bai in front of him is as introverted as a daisy.
Of course, Zhou Ze would not have too many fantasies about a corpse. What he was thinking about was something else.
As he drove the electric car back with the female corpse in his arms, his ten fingernails were in constant contact with her. It was as if electric currents were rushing into his body, constantly stimulating his soul and his fingernails.
Fortunately, Xu Qinglang was not around when he came back, otherwise Zhou Ze would probably have shouted out while sitting in the sedan chair like he did when Xu Qinglang came. This kind of thing is not something that should be told to outsiders.
When he carried her back to the bookstore, Zhou Ze found that the coldness on her body seemed to have dissipated for the most part.
It was like a rechargeable battery that had just been drained of its own power, but it shouldn't be a big problem. She should be able to recharge herself naturally just by lying there.
He placed his palms in front of him, and his nails slowly grew out. A blood-colored line appeared on the originally transparent black nails. This should be the result of the nails absorbing the evil spirit of the corpse.
It looks pretty good.
Zhou Ze smiled and reached for the cup of warm water he had just brought up, but found that the water had already gone cold.
Because of the female corpse, the temperature of this entire pediatric layer is lower than outside, and Zhou Ze himself has a weak perception of "cold".
It's a pity that it's not summer now. If it were summer and the female corpse was here, my store could save on air-conditioning costs and it could also prevent mosquitoes.
That night, Zhou Ze made a bed on the floor next to the freezer and slept soundly.
The little girl once said that if Zhou Ze held her in his arms, he would be able to fall asleep without the help of a freezer. It seemed that the female corpse had a similar effect.
When he woke up the next morning, Zhou Ze stretched and placed his fingernails on the other person's lower abdomen. For a moment, the cold feeling came over him again.
Very comfortable,
Very enjoyable,
But this feeling only lasted about half a minute before dissipating, which means that the female corpse had recharged this much last night.
Mrs. Bai once said that she was worried that her body would move strangely. Xu Qinglang also said that the strong evil spirit in this corpse would likely turn it into a zombie if it was stimulated by external factors. However, it now seems that the probability is not high. The more evil spirit she condenses, the more she will absorb every day.
Although he didn't know what use this thing would be to him, Zhou Ze never got tired of it just because of the comfort it gave him.
After going to Xu Qinglang's shop next door to have dinner, Zhou Ze sat leisurely in the shop. Before he decided which book to read, his phone rang.
It’s my sister-in-law calling.
"Xu Le, come back for a moment."
"What's the matter?" Zhou Ze didn't believe that his sister-in-law would suddenly call him to show her concern for him. The girl was still in her rebellious teenage years and was a little self-centered, or in other words, a little selfish and arrogant.
"Your uncle is here at my house, come and take him away." The sister-in-law said impatiently.
"Uncle?" Zhou Ze frowned slightly. He remembered that Xu Le was also an orphan like himself. Of course, Xu Le did not grow up in an orphanage. His parents died one after another after he was born.
"Okay, I'll be back."
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Ze said hello to Xu Qinglang next door and asked him to help look after the store, then he took a taxi to go back to the Lin family.
Wang Ke suggested to temporarily cut off the connection with his original network when giving himself treatment advice, but the situation has changed. Before, Zhou Ze was an illegal resident and was a bit like a rat crossing the street. Now he is a temporary civil servant, so there are fewer things and dangers to worry about.
Furthermore, Zhou Ze had previously read the private diary that Xu Le wrote in his space, in which his uncle was mentioned. It was his uncle who had always supported him in his schooling.
Since he had taken someone else's body, he still had to explain some things that needed to be explained. What's more, Xu Le had already gone to hell and been reincarnated. The previous changes in his character had nothing to do with Xu Le. It was just a side effect of the resurrection.
When Zhou Ze returned to the Lin family, before he even entered the door, he saw an old man in a cotton jacket and with a wrinkled face sitting on the steps smoking a pipe in the corridor.
There were a few fertilizer bags next to the old man. One bag should contain chickens and ducks, and the other bag should contain sausages or something like that.
"Ah Le!" When the old man saw Xu Le coming up, he immediately stood up, walked in front of Xu Le, stretched out his hand and patted Xu Le's shoulder vigorously: "The kid has grown taller again."
Zhou Ze grinned. He didn't ask why his uncle was sitting at the stairs smoking. In fact, there was no need to ask.
Even if my uncle took the initiative to come out and smoke a pipe in order not to pollute other people's house, it is impossible for the local products he brought to remain outside the house. This can only mean that the Lin family does not like him and did not even let him enter the house.
Thinking back to the tone and attitude of my sister-in-law when she called me before, it was enough to explain the Lin family's attitude towards me, their uncle.
Of course, there was nothing to complain about or hate. The relationship between him and the Lin family was already on the verge of breaking down, so there was no question of who was right or wrong.
"Have you eaten?" Zhou Ze asked.
"No." The old man was very honest.
"Take you to dinner."
"Okay."
Zhou Ze chose a restaurant, entered, ordered a few dishes, and asked for a bottle of white wine.
The old man poured himself a drink, and after taking a few sips, he could see that he was in a heavy mood. Apparently, he felt the indifference of the Lin family. After all, they were relatives, but now they had even thrown away their dignity.
"Lewaer, if you are unhappy, just go home." The uncle patted his chest. "Now the country's targeted poverty alleviation policy is very good, and our family doesn't have to worry about making ends meet. You have been to college, too. If you come back, we can do some special breeding and our life will not be worse than others."
"Okay, let's talk about it later." Zhou Ze said perfunctorily.
"Oh." The uncle knew that Xu Le didn't drink, so he didn't let Zhou Ze drink with him. He slowly finished a bottle by himself, and then ate two bowls of rice. After Zhou Ze paid the bill, he carried his things and walked out of the restaurant with Zhou Ze.
"Take these things with you. If they don't want them, you can eat them." The uncle handed a few snakeskin bags to Zhou Ze, "I'm going to catch the afternoon bus back."
"Okay." Zhou Ze didn't try to persuade him to stay.
My uncle must be able to drink a lot, so Zhou Ze called a taxi for him, gave the driver money in advance and asked him to take him to the bus station. Then, Zhou Ze carried these things back to the bookstore.
Xu Qinglang was sitting at the door basking in the sun, and Zhou Ze placed a pile of local specialties in front of him.
"Hey, what?"
"Let me prepare some ingredients for you." Zhou Ze found a chair nearby and sat down.
"Okay." Xu Qinglang was not polite. He had not taken Zhou Ze's meal money before. "By the way, you told me your real name is Zhou Ze, but you didn't tell me anything about your past. What did you do before?"
"Doctor." Zhou Ze replied.
There was nothing to hide from Xu Qinglang about these things.
Moreover, his identity has been cleared now, so he is not afraid of official articles.
"Doctor? You and your wife are a perfect match." Xu Qinglang blew out a smoke ring leisurely, "I haven't seen your wife for several days."
"No hope." Zhou Ze said casually.
"hey-hey."
The two of them smoked another cigarette together, then Zhou Ze stood up, opened the door of the bookstore and walked in.
When he went out in the morning, he asked Xu Qinglang to look after him and did not lock the door.
Sitting down behind the counter, Zhou Ze turned on the computer, clicked an icon, and then the video information appeared on the desktop.
Zhou Ze bought two pinhole cameras a while ago and placed them in the store, one at the staircase and one at the upper left corner of the book room. They were not expensive and were usually bought by voyeurs.
Zhou Ze picked up the cup on the counter and took a few sips of water, then began to adjust the playback time on the video.
When Zhou Ze went out in the morning, he deliberately did not lock the door and asked Xu Qinglang to look after him. There was a reason for that.
Yesterday, Madam Bai invited him over, and also invited Xu Qinglang in a sedan chair. Although she explained that it was because of a joke Xu Qinglang made when he was a child, Zhou Ze would not completely believe it.
He brought the corpse back and kept it with him. If Mrs. Bai and Xu Qinglang had any other relationship, Xu Qinglang should have taken some action this morning.
You must be on guard against others. You are no longer a human being, so you naturally have to be more cautious.
At 11:30 am, the screen showed Xu Qinglang entering his shop.
Zhou Ze took another sip of water and felt that the water in the cup was somewhat sweet and tasted particularly good.
It must be a psychological effect, because you feel complacent because you think you guessed it right
However, in the video, Xu Qinglang just entered the store, took a few newspapers and sat there reading for half an hour, then put the newspapers back and left, without going upstairs at all.
Did I guess wrong
Is it because a villain is jealous of a gentleman's belly
Zhou Ze pursed his lips, smiled to himself, and drank the water in the cup.
Just as Zhou Ze was about to turn off the screen and wash his face, he suddenly thought of the camera placed at the entrance of the stairs. The position of this camera can observe the situation on the stairs and the counter on the first floor.
But since Xu Qinglang didn’t go in, it didn’t really matter whether he looked or not.
However, since this type of camera is cheap, its memory is relatively small, so Zhou Ze has to delete its used memory to free up space.
At the same time, Zhou Ze also clicked on the video recorded by the second camera and played it from beginning to end as a formality.
However, at this moment, Zhou Ze seemed to see a white shadow fleeting by.
"Um?"
Zhou Ze subconsciously pulled back the mouse and picked up the teacup with his other hand, only to realize that the water in the cup had been drunk.
I didn't even bother to refill the water.
Instead, just drag the mouse little by little.
finally,
The screen captured that moment.
A woman in white clothes slowly walked down from the second floor!
The corpse,
She can move!
Zhou Ze only felt a congestion in his brain, and a sense of crisis came over him directly, and his heart and breathing became a little rapid at this time.
While Zhou Ze was thinking about this,
The screen is still playing.
In the screen,
Mrs. Bai's body walked to the counter and picked up the cup of water on the counter.
Then,
She drinks like a dog.
He stuck out his tongue and swirled it around in the water cup.
Then he put down the cup, like a sleeper getting up to drink water.
She turned around and walked slowly up the stairs.
Zhou Ze took a deep breath and looked at the cup beside him that he had just drunk all the water from.
No wonder when I just drank water,
It feels a bit sweet...
