Late Night Bookstore

Chapter 35: You are back

Views:

Second floor,

Next to the freezer,

Zhou Ze stood there for about half an hour.

Mrs. Bai was still lying inside, exactly the same as when Zhou Ze got up and left in the morning, without the slightest change, but the scene recorded in the camera could not be wrong.

In particular,

That glass of water,

I felt it was a bit sweet when I first drank it.

This is not a psychological effect, because he did not watch the video before drinking the water.

In fact, Zhou Ze didn’t feel too disgusted about drinking the other person’s saliva. After all, he had just seen Xu Qinglang eat so many “delicacies from mountains and seas” last night.

Compared with Xu Qinglang, my contribution this time can only be considered a drizzle.

Of course, it won’t feel “sexy”.

No matter how beautiful this person is, she is just a corpse, lying underground for two hundred years.

Zhou Ze, who had a mild obsession with mysophobia, found it hard to accept the thought that she hadn't brushed her teeth for two hundred years.

She was able to move, and went downstairs to drink some water, and came back up again.

Madam Bai, didn’t you tell me the truth

Or there is another possibility, because of my nails last night, the body has also undergone some changes.

Right now, Mrs. Bai's soul has gone to hell, so it is impossible for her to deliberately drop a bomb on the human world.

The little girl once said that ghosts in the world have to behave like human beings with their tails between their legs. Anyone who wants to mess things up means that they think their life is too long and that they are living too comfortably.

However, Zhou Ze felt completely different when there was a dead body on his second floor and a moving dead body on his second floor. No one wanted to have a dangerous and unstable factor next to his bed.

"Hey, big sister, how about you wake up and we chat?"

Zhou Ze said, leaning against the edge of the freezer.

He hoped that the female corpse would open her eyes at this moment and either fight with him or have a chat with him. They could seek common ground while reserving differences and at least break the window paper and stop playing mysterious games.

However, the female corpse remained unmoved and just lay there.

Zhou Ze took a deep breath, then reached in and began to wander over the female corpse, even desecrating some sensitive areas.

I just hope that the female corpse can’t stand this kind of “frivolity” and opens her eyes in anger.

What a pity,

The female corpse still lay there coldly.

Unmoved.

Zhou Ze estimated that even if he really took off his pants and went up, the female corpse would still remain in this state.

Taking his hand back, Zhou Ze pursed his lips, not knowing what to do.

You can't wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep.

The next moment, the nails on Zhou Ze's fingertips began to grow longer. Then, Zhou Ze pierced his index finger nail into the female corpse's arm and began to slowly apply force.

"Puff..."

The nails were like sharp blades that pierced into the female corpse's arm. No blood shed from the corpse, but instead a cloud of black gas began to spread out. For a moment, the entire room on the second floor became eerie.

"Zhou Ze, what are you doing!"

Xu Qinglang's voice came from downstairs.

Then, Xu Qinglang rushed directly to the second floor regardless of anything. Zhou Ze withdrew his hand at this time. There seemed to be a layer of frost on his nails, which was a little stiff and a little painful.

"You're crazy!" Xu Qinglang looked at the narrow wound on the female corpse's arm and shouted, "Did you know that once the drought demon appears, the land will be scorched for thousands of miles!

This female corpse is definitely not as powerful as Hanba, but once the aura stored in her body leaks out, it will be enough to set off a plague in Tongcheng!"

Zhou Ze didn't rush to pay attention to the furious Xu Qinglang, but continued to stare at the female corpse's arm. The wound that he had just stabbed was actually healing slowly.

This female corpse,

Except that the body is still cold and not breathing, everything else is really no different from that of a living person. In fact, it is more active than a living person's body!

"Hey, you and I dug this thing out together. If it causes any trouble, I will be in trouble, my life span will be shortened, and I may even bring disaster to my descendants!

The same goes for you. If you make things worse, even if you are a ghost messenger now, you will be in trouble. "

The little bit of black gas that had just leaked out of the female corpse slowly evaporated. Because the amount was relatively small, and there were only Zhou Ze and Xu Qinglang here, their resistance was relatively strong, so it would not cause any harm.

But what had just been leaked was just the tip of the iceberg of what was inside the female corpse.

Zhou Ze sighed, "Xu Qinglang."

"What?"

"Leave your wife to your place. Didn't your parents just leave? Let her go and keep you company. After all, you were married to someone in a formal ceremony."

"What, what do you mean?" Xu Qinglang was confused.

"This thing can move by itself." Zhou Ze explained the reason. "Today, she went downstairs by herself and drank a sip of water."

Xu Qinglang also showed a look of horror on his face, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he took two steps back.

He said last night that if something unexpected happens to this corpse, it will turn into a zombie. And it will not be the weakling with a stupid head who only knows "woohoo" and can blow heads off at will in European and American movies, but a real zombie that "eats raw meat and drinks blood" and may even have some magical powers.

"Thank you. I'm getting used to being alone."

What a joke. How could Xu Qinglang possibly take over this hot potato, no, this hot atomic bomb

"Don't you have some talisman paper? Can you put some on her?" Zhou Ze asked.

"The talisman paper with my two knives on it will only have a counterproductive effect and irritate her." Xu Qinglang said with a wry smile.

"What should we do?" Zhou Ze felt a headache. "Ship her to the sea and throw her away? Even if she turns into a zombie, the worst that can happen is that she can go and complain to the Dragon King of the Sea."

"She can't leave Tongcheng. She was a Tongcheng person when she was alive, and she will be a Tongcheng ghost after her death. Once her body leaves the area of Tongcheng, she will still have problems. Otherwise, why didn't Madam Bai get rid of her before she completed her merits and went to the underworld?"

“Bang!”

Zhou Ze simply closed the lid of the freezer. Obviously, this problem had no solution.

It can't be burned.

Luck and luck are not good,

I'm afraid of accidents if I leave it somewhere else.

Can I only keep it in my room and watch it at my own risk

Zhou Ze now seemed to understand why the little Loli went to hell with a "biu" sound. It was not easy to be a civil servant in the underworld.

Even if you enter the system, doing grassroots work is always the hardest.

Just like myself now.

"Don't worry about it. I'll make you more plum juice tonight." Xu Qinglang comforted.

"Then?"

"Then I'll move. Didn't I say that I would open a store in the county town below? I plan to plan it in advance." Xu Qinglang had an attitude of "I would rather die than let my friend die."

After locking the freezer, Zhou Ze and Xu Qinglang went downstairs together.

Xu Qinglang warned Zhou Ze not to mess around and went back to the noodle shop. He should have been busy with his own business just now, but when he sensed the evil spirit leaking out, he was frightened and ran over quickly.

Zhou Ze sat behind the counter.

He picked up the water glass and shook it in front of himself.

My cell phone rang, I took it out and saw it was an unfamiliar number.

"Hello, is this Mr. Xu Le? We are from the Chongchuan Traffic Police Brigade."

"Yes, it's me, what's wrong?"

"Is Xu Dachuan your relative? He just had a car accident and is now being sent to the People's Hospital."

"Okay, I'll be right there."

Zhou Ze closed his eyes and snorted in dissatisfaction. He was already annoyed enough, and now something else happened. Xu Dachuan should be the uncle he had invited to lunch at noon.

But he couldn't not go. Although people came to the city specifically to visit Xu Le and not him Zhou Ze, the local products they sent were given to Xu Qinglang by Zhou Ze as ingredients.

Zhou Ze looked at his nails.

If Xu Dachuan's life is really in danger,

Should I save myself or not

Thinking about the backlash he suffered after saving the little Loli last time, Zhou Ze felt a chill in his heart. Forget it, I hope he is not seriously injured.

After walking out of the store and taking a taxi, Zhou Ze sent a WeChat message to Xu Qinglang in the car, saying that he was going out for a while and he would watch over him.

When they arrived at the People's Hospital, it was already eight o'clock in the evening. Zhou Ze asked at the front desk and learned that Xu Dachuan was not in danger of life and had been transferred to the ward. He felt relieved.

Pushing open the door of the ward and walking in, Zhou Ze was stunned for a moment. He saw Dr. Lin standing beside Xu Dachuan's bed, talking to him.

One of Xu Dachuan's legs was propped up, probably as it was broken, and there were a few scratches on his face, but he was in good spirits and was very energetic when chatting with his niece-in-law.

When Zhou Ze walked over, his eyes met with Dr. Lin's.

"Thank you, thank you for your trouble." Zhou Ze said.

"It's my duty." Doctor Lin stood up and explained, "I'm not at home during the day. Sorry."

"It's okay." Zhou Ze waved his hand.

Doctor Lin walked out of the ward, and Zhou Ze chatted with his uncle for a few more words. The long-distance bus encountered a traffic accident before it left the city. Only Xu Dachuan was unlucky and fell and broke his left leg. The other passengers only had minor scratches.

Xu Dachuan didn't care much about his injury. Instead, he kept saying, "My niece-in-law is a good person."

Zhou Ze smiled, told Xu Dachuan to have a good rest, and then walked out of the ward.

Doctor Lin was standing by the front desk at this time. There was a female nurse sitting there who seemed a little uncomfortable.

Zhou Ze was ready to leave, but he also had to say hello to Dr. Lin. The two hadn't been in touch for a long time, but he still had to do the face-saving work.

However, as soon as he got closer, Zhou Ze heard a baby crying, very faintly, like a kitten.

Zhou Ze didn't take it seriously at first, but when he got closer to Dr. Lin, he found that the baby's crying became clearer.

Could it be that Dr. Lin was raped by the little ghost

Zhou Ze was still looking at him, and deliberately stood sideways behind Dr. Lin to take a look.

"It's okay, Sister Lin. I have an old stomach problem. I'll be fine after taking some medicine." The young nurse thanked Dr. Lin for her concern.

"Take care of yourself." Doctor Lin comforted.

It was at this time that Dr. Lin noticed Zhou Ze standing behind him in a somewhat... "sneaky" manner.

"you… "

"Wait a minute." Zhou Ze raised his hand, listened carefully again, and finally looked at the little nurse's belly.

This sound did not come from Dr. Lin, but from the little nurse's body.

Zhou Ze, who used to be a doctor, immediately understood what was going on.

"You are pregnant." Zhou Ze said to the nurse. At this time, Zhou Ze had no choice but to remind her indirectly to save face.

"What?" The young nurse was confused.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Xiao Chen isn't married yet and doesn't have a boyfriend." Dr. Lin glared at her "husband".

"I don't know who you got pregnant with, but you'd better go get checked out now. Also, let me remind you that you are at risk of miscarriage." Zhou Ze said firmly.

The fetus was very unstable, and the crying in the dark represented the instinctive sadness of an unborn baby, which was why Zhou Ze did not care about the other party's face.

Human life is of paramount importance.

Nurse Chen stood up suddenly when she heard this, with an anxious look on her face. Obviously, she didn't know she was pregnant before, but she knew that she had engaged in "high-risk" behavior, so the possibility of pregnancy was very high.

Doctor Lin also noticed it and immediately took Xiao Chen away in a hurry.

Zhou Ze stretched lazily, thinking that it was a pity that Xu Le studied civil engineering. If Xu Le studied medicine, he would probably soon become the most famous doctor not only in Tongcheng but also in the entire Su Province.

He went downstairs and bought a box of milk and some daily necessities for Xu Dachuan. After Zhou Ze sent Xu Dachuan to the ward, he walked out again. This time he really planned to leave. After all, the person at home really made him feel uneasy.

It happened that Dr. Lin walked out of the elevator, her face looking a little heavy.

"What's wrong?"

"How did you know Xiao Chen was pregnant?" asked Dr. Lin.

"I've learned some Chinese medicine." Zhou Ze made up a story, "What's the situation over there?"

"Xiao Chen intends to keep the baby, but it's hard to say whether she can save it. She didn't pay any attention to it before." After Doctor Lin finished speaking, he said to Zhou Ze, "Do you want to go back? Wait for me to change my clothes and I'll take you there."

Just like that, Zhou Ze left the hospital in Dr. Lin's Cayenne.

Along the way, the two of them didn't talk much, and their "husband and wife" relationship reached a freezing point because of what happened last time.

When they were almost at the bookstore, Zhou Ze thought he should find something to talk about, otherwise it would be too boring, so he asked, "You posted a lot of photos of Hanfu in your circle of friends. Do you like them?"

"Yes." Doctor Lin nodded.

"I like it too." Zhou Ze touched the tip of his nose, "Do you have Hanfu? Wear it for me someday?"

Dr. Lin did not answer, as if he was too lazy to continue the topic.

The car stopped in front of the bookstore and Zhou Ze got out. To Zhou Ze's surprise, Dr. Lin also got out of the car, apparently intending to go into the bookstore with him.

Haha, this woman is really strong. Isn’t she afraid of being hurt by me again like last time

"I'll go get some magazines to read at work," said Dr. Lin.

"Yeah." Zhou Ze nodded. He knew that this was Dr. Lin's disguised way of expressing his intention to reconcile. This woman was really not easy.

To put it in Lu Xun's style: this woman once again bowed to feudal etiquette, that is, to this nominal "husband".

In ancient times, Dr. Lin was a typical poor woman who was deeply poisoned and persecuted by feudal etiquette.

Pushing open the door of the bookstore, Zhou Ze was somewhat surprised to find Xu Qinglang sitting on a plastic stool reading a book, but the book in his hand was clearly held upside down. What the hell was he reading

Xu Qinglang forced a smile towards Zhou Ze with great difficulty, but it was uglier than crying.

Dr. Lin took a few more glances at this man who was more handsome than most women, then walked straight to the bookshelf to pick out magazines.

Zhou Ze handed Xu Qinglang a cigarette and whispered, "What's wrong with you? You look distracted?"

It was at this time that

There were footsteps at the stairs, and a woman in ancient white dress walked down slowly, her posture graceful and tender.

When she saw Zhou Ze,

A little blessing,

Very respectfully:

"You're back."

The magazine that Dr. Lin just held in his hand,

fell to the ground,

At the same time, he said coldly:

"It seems that I don't need to wear it for you to see."
