"Come, try the new version of sour girl juice."
Xu Qinglang placed a cup on Zhou Ze's counter. This cup of sour plum juice looked richer than before. He shook it in his hand as if he was holding a glass of wine.
"What's the difference?" Zhou Ze asked before drinking.
"The taste is stronger, a bit like old rice wine, with a strong aftertaste. It can help you not to wolf down your food like before, and improve your happiness index in life."
"Oh, adultery."
The female corpse who was arranging the bookshelf nearby let out a cry of pain.
Zhou Ze took a sip. It was different from the sour plum juice he had drunk before. This time it was sweeter and had a lingering sweet taste. It tasted very good.
However, this doesn't seem to be the feeling I want.
However, not long after tasting it, Zhou Ze felt a sour feeling in his stomach.
“Hiss…”
My body began to tremble uncontrollably.
That sour aftertaste,
So domineering.
Zhou Ze bent his ten fingers slightly, then slowly opened them, and nodded, very satisfied.
"You are thoughtful." Zhou Ze said.
"You're welcome." Xu Qinglang smiled slightly, "I plan to use this as one of my signature side dishes. Unfortunately, there are probably not many people who like this flavor."
"Yeah." Zhou Ze agreed with this.
“Squeak.”
The door of the bookstore was pushed open and a group of students walked in. There were quite a few students, about seven or eight in total, and they all looked like “good kids.”
"Boss, what's the WiFi rate?" a girl asked.
Zhou Ze pointed to the wall, where it was written.
“Huh…”
The students all found plastic stools and sat down. Then the girl took out some homework from her backpack, distributed it to others, and asked them to copy it.
The winter vacation is about to end, and this is considered a normal scene.
Zhou Ze was naturally not bored enough to teach these children the significance of learning and the harm of copying other people's homework. He stretched out his hand and tapped on the counter. The female corpse came over and poured Zhou Ze a glass of warm water.
The girl in the lead walked to the bookshelf and casually flipped through the books. After selecting a few, she walked up to Zhou Ze and asked, "How much?"
"Ninety-five." Zhou Ze replied.
"Here, no need to look for it."
The girl was very generous and threw out a hundred-dollar bill.
Zhou Ze took the money and said nothing more.
By around five o'clock in the afternoon, all the students had finished copying their homework and left, and the bookstore had returned to its usual quiet state.
Xu Qinglang was not in the store. He went to order a plaque. Of course, he would not order it according to what Zhou Ze said.
"Man eats dirt all his life, dirt eats man once"
Because anyone with a common sense can see that this plaque is not suitable to be hung in a dining area, but is more suitable to be hung on both sides of a grave.
The female corpse was quite efficient at her job. She cleaned the first and second floors today. Apart from occasionally posing and flirting, there were basically no other flaws.
She didn't say where she was going, and Zhou Ze didn't ask.
Of course, Zhou Ze remembered Mrs. Bai's reminder: "On the next Cold Clothes Festival, burn the body with bamboo and wood."
Zhou Ze was not sure whether Mrs. Bai was aware that her corpse had actually developed intelligence a long time ago.
What if she knew, but still entrusted it to me, and at the same time told me the method and time to burn her
Last night, the female corpse also admitted that even if she was killed by Zhou Ze, she would not die on her own and let the evil spirit leak out to affect innocent people and cause Mrs. Bai in hell to be implicated.
However,
Mrs. Bai seemed to just want to get rid of her trouble cleanly.
From this perspective,
This female corpse that I took as a maid,
In fact, he is also a poor man.
"What's your name?" Zhou Ze asked.
"My last name is Bai." the female corpse replied.
"What's white?"
"Bai Yingying."
"Bai Yingying?"
Zhou Ze nodded. This name is a bit strange.
"Actually, you don't have to work so hard to eat." The female corpse stretched, showing off her proud figure, "It's just like you can sleep soundly when you sleep with me.
Your soul is tainted with the breath of hell, but your body is still alive.
You need to sleep and eat to replenish your body, but your soul needs these things, so you instinctively feel disgusted and repulsive. "
"Go on."
"I can feed you later." The female corpse smiled shyly, "The food passes through my mouth, carrying my juices.
It is like carrying the breath of a ghost. You won’t feel so bad when you eat it again.”
Zhou Ze suddenly understood why he felt the glass of water was a little sweet last time. It was not because the female corpse’s mouth was sweet, but because of this reason.
"Thanks."
"You're welcome."
A man in a leather jacket walked outside the store. His clothes were a bit rustic, his hair was a bit messy, and his face was red. He must have just drunk some alcohol.
The other person walked around outside twice before finally pushing open the door and walking into the bookstore.
At first, Zhou Ze didn't pay attention, but soon, his gaze narrowed slightly.
He knew this man.
Sun Tao, his former assistant, a young doctor with great potential.
The female corpse also stared at him. She reached out and gently poked Zhou Ze's waist, saying in a soft voice:
"Shangcha, um, can I eat it?"
Cannibalism
Zhou Ze frowned slightly.
"Didn't you notice the guy on the back?"
After this reminder, Zhou Ze stood up and looked at the black object hanging behind the man.
Ordinary people may not know what this is, because it does look a bit abstract, a bit like a black worm, but it also has some special human-like features.
But because of his previous job, Zhou Ze knew what it was at a glance - a premature baby.
“Woo, woo, woo… woo, woo, woo…”
As if because Zhou Ze noticed him, the baby let out a slight cry.
The voice sounded familiar, and Zhou Ze began to search for related memories in his mind. Finally, he found the familiar source.
Nurse Chen.
To be precise, it was the sound that came from Nurse Chen's stomach. Of course, at that time only Zhou Ze could hear it.
Zhou Ze did not feel secretly happy that he could do a "paternity test".
All that comes to my mind is sadness.
That child was still not saved
When the female corpse said she wanted to eat him, she was not referring to the person, but the soul of the baby boy.
Zhou Ze glared at her. The female corpse pouted and dared not say anything. She could only swallow her saliva unwillingly beside her. At the same time, she reached out her hand to support the heavy weight on her chest with grievance:
“I don’t eat food from living people, and every night I have to be plucked for evil spirits by you like a stove top.
If I don't take some supplements, this will shrink and you won't be able to spy on me while I work."
Zhou Ze was stunned for a moment. She had actually been paying attention to his gaze
"You damn ghost." The female corpse said coquettishly.
"Boss, do you have any wine?" Sun Tao shouted.
"Go next door." Zhou Ze replied, but still stood up and poured him a glass of water.
After all, he was the younger brother that I raised before. I grew up in an orphanage, while Sun Tao grew up in a single-parent family. At the beginning, I even ignored the fangirls like Dr. Lin, but I was very caring towards this younger brother named Sun Tao.
There is no other reason, it's just because the two of them have very similar personalities. Their childhood experiences have made them better understand the meaning of struggle and hard work, and they all want to strive to live up to their potential and prove themselves.
“Pfft… Hahahahaha…” Sun Tao took the water, took a big sip, and then laughed, “Boss, why are you looking at me like that? I’m not interested in men.”
"Oh." Zhou Ze responded.
There's such a handsome man living next door, but I'm not interested in you.
Sun Tao sat down on the plastic bench, bit his lip, and shook his head.
"Boss, do you have children?"
"We're not ready to have it yet. He thinks I'm too young." The female corpse interrupted, trying hard to add drama to herself.
Sun Tao looked up at the female corpse. Although the female corpse was plump and tall, she looked like a high school student. He immediately laughed and said:
"You are indeed still young."
The female corpse turned her face away in annoyance and swallowed her saliva again.
"I already had a child." Sun Tao said with some emotion.
Zhou Ze really wanted to say, you do have a child, and your child is hanging on your back.
With the development of modern medicine and the "modernization" of people's thinking, abortion and miscarriage are no longer such harsh words, but few people know that the resentment of unborn babies is actually the greatest.
This type of stillborn babies are also most likely to turn into ghosts. Of course, their ability to seek revenge is actually very weak.
At most, it is because of resentment that one will be bound to one's so-called parents for a period of time, and then they will disperse on their own.
The female corpse said she wanted to eat him, because this type of baby is not fully born, so it is like an ungerminated seed, and for creatures like the female corpse, the "nutritional value" is extremely high.
"What's going on?" Zhou Ze asked, "Does your girlfriend disagree?"
Zhou Ze remembered that although Nurse Chen was very uneasy and surprised at the time, she said that she wanted to save the child.
"No, she was willing, but I didn't. I was scared, so I asked her to beat the baby."
For some reason, Sun Tao really wanted to talk to the bookstore owner. He found a familiar feeling of an older brother in the bookstore owner.
And that big brother has been dead for more than half a year.
"Are you scared?" Zhou Ze asked.
"Her parents originally looked down on me, haha, their family is very well off." Sun Tao raised his head, as if trying to hold back his tears.
"But the matter is done." Zhou Ze said.
"But I don't want to use this kind of thing to threaten their family. I don't want my colleagues and friends to think that I used this method to get into their house.
I don't want others to think that I am a Phoenix man.
I don't covet their money, nor do I covet anything else.
I don’t want to have a pair of father-in-law and mother-in-law who look down on me, or even a bunch of relatives from their family, after I get married.
I grew up in a single-parent family, so I understand that dignity must be earned by oneself.”
"Even if she wants to?"
"She is willing to do it, but I am not. I want to live with dignity.
Haha, when I first entered the industry, an elder brother told me that dignity and the attitude of others towards oneself are all earned with one's own hands. I haven't achieved any results yet, so I don't want to..."
Zhou Ze took a deep breath and asked, "Did your elder brother tell you anything else?"
"What?" Sun Tao asked in surprise.
"That is, when you are having sex, don't forget to wear... a condom."
After saying that, Zhou Ze swung his fist and hit Sun Tao directly in the face.
"Bang!"
Sun Tao was punched hard for no apparent reason and fell to the ground, looking dazed.
"Don't make excuses, don't talk about dignity, don't talk about anything else,
You are selfish, completely selfish."
After that,
Zhou Ze kicked Sun Tao who was lying on the ground again.
"Bang!"
Sun Tao curled up, he was in pain and drunk, but he still shouted angrily:
"You are sick, hit someone!"
"Yes, I am sick. I was so blind that I wanted to train and help you!"
At this moment,
The ball that was originally hanging on Sun Tao's shoulder curled up and crawled in front of Zhou Ze.
There was a "squeaking" sound coming from his mouth.
The corpse girl heard it.
Zhou Ze also heard it.
But Sun Tao couldn't hear it.
His unborn child who had never really seen the world,
At this time, he actually bared his teeth.
To the man who beat his father,
An angry cry was emitted...
