If this were a movie,
At this time, the entire large screen lens will stretch diagonally.
The left half is Zhou Ze sitting in the car.
The right half shows a ferocious figure standing outside the car.
Then,
The other surrounding scenery will be blurred to highlight the focus of the character.
Of course.
You can also pull out a picture-in-picture in the lower left corner.
It was Xu Qinglang who was kneeling in a pool of blood, his face showing signs of struggle and pain.
pity,
There’s no way a director could yell “cut” here.
On one side,
It's the threat of Poseidon.
On one side,
It's the roar from the zombies,
At this moment, Zhou Ze did not give in.
According to the previous agreement,
According to the promise of the man who cannot be defiled,
Zhou Ze did not enter the noodle shop, did not intervene, did not help, did not interfere, did not say anything like "keep warm and drink more water, you will easily catch a cold" or other nonsense.
But at this time, the shadow of the sea god,
They have already walked to their car.
If I continue to sit there like an old monk in meditation, not caring about anything, it would be really too much.
Poseidon didn't seem to expect that the person sitting in the car watching the show would be so fierce.
I was a little stunned for a moment.
He intended to scare people to warn them not to meddle in other people's business, but he was actually scared instead.
But after all, he is a character who is used to the strong winds and waves in the sea.
The next moment,
The rainwater on the road that had not had time to drain out through the sewer manhole covers began to float up rapidly.
Zhou Ze was still sitting in the car.
But his car,
At this moment, it seemed like it was floating in the sea.
The salty and fishy smell hits your nose.
The rain curtains all over the sky hit the surging waves,
Everything is ready to go, and one wave can overturn everything!
as if,
All that’s missing is a petrel.
The dark shadow before my eyes,
Slowly solidifying,
A purple python robe, a face hidden under a black mask, a human figure, and a giant python's tail swaying between the waves.
Just like this vast ocean,
He is the real master.
In the eyes beneath the mask,
With the willfulness of looking down on everything!
Being a demon to this extent is really incredible, a bit like those who were involved in smuggling or even gangsters in the early years, and finally whitewashed themselves and became representatives of outstanding local entrepreneurs.
There is no ghost at all,
even,
It has a fairy-like feel.
No wonder if you want to take revenge on someone, you have to make a pair of white gloves and destroy them after use, for fear of dirtying your hands.
Compared with him,
The great immortals Zhou Ze had met in the old forests of Northeast China were as low-level as children still playing in the mud.
In the sea,
Man is insignificant.
As small as dust.
This is a kind of intimidation, this is a kind of contempt,
Those who draw their swords and fight each other as soon as they meet are all low-class hooligans.
The real big guys always check each other's cards when they meet.
Zhou Ze sat there without moving.
Don't be impatient.
Because he knows,
There was someone who hated this kind of despised scene even more than himself.
And this person,
A while ago, I was so immature that I was waiting for the "empty gate" to open.
Waiting for the Buddha to come.
Zhou Ze spread his hands.
It suggests that Shabi loosen the seal a little bit,
Don't be too much.
Just enough is enough.
Isn’t it just a comparison of pomp and style
terribly sorry,
When it comes to pretending to be cool,
It's not that Boss Zhou is targeting anyone.
Compared to the one inside me,
Everyone here,
All rubbish!
really,
Zhou Ze sensed that person's aura.
He couldn't help it.
Even though he knew that Zhou Ze was borrowing his power, he didn't care.
For him,
Face is more important than life.
It's a pity that Boss Zhou hasn't talked to the little boy in detail yet.
If he knew that the person in the underground had forced the little zombie to kill him in the name of his ancestors in order to prevent him from laughing at him when he woke up the next day.
Boss Zhou will never remain so calm.
"Little...strange...snake..."
In the waves,
Poseidon turned his head,
seem,
He also sensed something was wrong.
“I… let you… meet…
The real... sea!"
"boom!"
There was a loud noise.
The azure blue sea suddenly became dead silent.
It was as if all life was sucked out in an instant, and a huge layer of black curtain completely enveloped the place in an instant.
at the same time,
Countless broken arms stretched out from under the sea, trying to catch a scapegoat to take the blame for themselves;
Endless skeletons floated in the sea, dotting the glaring white.
The rich air of death, the final resting place of the dead souls!
Your sea is filled with fish and shrimp;
Hell is buried in my sea!
Your sea, the ferry;
My sea is the place of rebirth!
How dare a tiny pearl compete with the bright moon
“Click… Click… Click…”
In the screen,
The mask of Poseidon is breaking,
Broken together,
And his calmness,
His calmness,
His rebelliousness,
People often laugh at the frog, who sits in a well and looks at the sky;
Today,
The sea god found that he was just a bigger frog.
On top of his head,
It's just a bigger well.
It's a pity that the picture collapsed too quickly.
Zhou Ze seemed to see,
In that blurred and distant picture,
The sea god seemed to be slowly kneeling down.
The sea of the living,
Kneel before the underworld!
The picture disappeared completely.
The car is still the same car.
It stopped in the rain, stopped on the road, and stopped in front of the figure.
The figure was also slowly disappearing.
Come in the rain, die in the rain,
It's as if it never existed at all.
The fangs at the corners of Zhou Ze's mouth slowly faded away.
look,
I looked again at Lao Xu who was kneeling in a pool of blood in the noodle shop.
seem,
The hardest times are over.
He helped, and it seemed like a big help, but Zhou Ze did not feel complacent, nor did he have the slightest intention of asking for credit and boasting.
Since Lao Xu has arranged everything,
He was even so cruel that he would stab his own face.
Then the shadow just now,
If he hadn't taken it into account and made arrangements,
It seems really unscientific.
Of course, his arrangement was his arrangement. Since that thing appeared in front of him, even if he didn't do it to help him, he just took action because he was unhappy with the Sea God.
That makes sense.
Who told him to be ugly
It scared me.
The rain has lightened.
I opened the car door.
Zhou Ze's shoes stepped into the puddles.
I stretched my body.
"I'm back home."
… …
“Hu…Hu…Hu…Hu…”
The sound of heavy breathing continued to come.
The rain outside seemed to have subsided, not as heavy as before.
The restlessness and resistance in my body were also slowly fading away.
Some are confused, some are bewildered,
Because the real test that he had prepared for did not appear, all the plans and preparations he had made before were completely useless.
Xu Qinglang did not stand up.
Instead, he continued to kneel on the ground.
Close your eyes.
Like communicating,
It's like communicating.
The original taming work seemed to be a bit anticlimactic.
Swallowing that woman was equivalent to establishing a certain connection between himself and the sea god in the ocean.
This was Xu Qinglang's plan and arrangement. It was the method he came up with after he was pressed into the bathtub by the so-called master that night.
He prepared for this for a long time, really a long, long time.
only,
This went smoothly.
It seems a bit too much for granted.
even,
A dark green glow was slowly emerging on my body.
It's like putting on a thin shirt.
What a pity,
This scene,
Zhou Ze didn't see it. He had already got out of the car and was not paying attention to this place.
The clothes on Xu Qinglang's body were basically torn into pieces when he stabbed the dagger into his chest, and at this moment, the green light did not last too long.
He moved slowly.
then,
Like an eggshell breaking.
The thin shirt was gradually torn open.
Like taking off clothes,
actually,
It's a snake shedding its skin!
Xu Qinglang was a little confused. The sea god seemed to be easier to talk to than he had imagined. There was no bargaining. He seemed to have resigned himself to his fate and accepted it. He took the initiative to transfer his power to him.
molt,
Healing.
The whole scene,
It is not as disgusting as the usual snake shedding skin.
Even looks a bit beautiful,
It seems like a scene from a Hong Kong porn movie from a few years ago.
In fact, many things, when different people do them, really give completely different feelings;
This damn world,
It still depends on the appearance.
Stand up,
Xu Qinglang lowered his head.
I looked at my chest.
The horrific scar that originally existed on the chest has disappeared, replaced by tender new skin, but the pain at the wound site still exists.
This kind of healing is really a typical case of treating the symptoms but not the root cause.
It seems to have recovered, but these injuries,
It still needs to be properly cared for to recover in the true sense.
Oh, by the way, it may have another function, which is to stop bleeding.
Walked to the glass,
Xu Qinglang looked at his own reflection in it.
The face also returned to normal.
Not to mention the knife scar, there wasn't even a trace of blood scab left.
But he didn't dare to reach out and touch it, nor did he dare to touch it hard.
But at least in my heart,
Already satisfied.
Women love beauty.
Men also love beauty.
Tilt your head,
Keep looking at yourself in the glass.
Reach out,
Gently stroking the glass.
In Xu Qinglang's eyes, the pupils seemed to be splitting and showing a light blue color.
He stared at himself in the glass for a long time.
then,
Turn sideways,
Lift your head,
Look around you.
I don't know why.
A deep feeling of disgust came from the bottom of my heart.
The blue in the eyes,
It is becoming more and more intense.
The pupils are becoming more and more weird.
I hate my life.
Dislike your environment.
I hate all the noise on this land,
Xu Qinglang held his head with both hands.
He was a little confused.
He didn't know where these strong emotions came from.
But they really appeared at this moment and began to madly disintegrate their own atria.
He calculated everything, arranged everything,
In the ceiling mezzanine,
In fact, there is a real backhand.
but,
It's of no use.
He calculated the process and also calculated the success.
But he didn't think much about what would happen after he succeeded. In fact, most people wouldn't think about what would happen after they succeeded.
When you stare into the abyss, the abyss also stares into you.
When you try to establish a connection with the Sea God and gain power from him,
His mood,
His thoughts,
Naturally, I begin to reach a certain resonance with you.
One is a demon who has been practicing for many sixty years.
One is a young man in his mid-twenties.
Who can influence whom more
In fact, there is really no need to guess.
Xu Qinglang continued to look at everything here awkwardly.
This is his warmest memory.
But right now,
But deep down, he had an urge to destroy all the debris here.
There is a voice in my heart,
Keep calling him,
In my mind,
All the bitter scenes I had experienced since childhood began to flash back and forth like a slide show.
It is denying its past.
It is criticizing its present.
It is tampering with its own future,
it,
Assimilating myself!
A little panicked,
But I don't know what to do.
Xu Qinglang found his cell phone and wanted to make a call, but as soon as he got the phone in his hand, he suddenly threw it to the ground!
“Bang!”
cell phone,
torn apart,
“Ahhh!!!!”
Xu Qinglang held his head.
Crouching on the ground,
A man, a confused man, a good-looking man, a fearful man...
I don't know how long I squatted.
Xu Qinglang stood up slowly again.
He suddenly felt very depressed.
Staying in this cramped space,
He felt he couldn't breathe.
Even the hard ground made him feel disgusted and repulsed.
He couldn't concentrate on thinking anymore.
Did I succeed or fail
Or,
So-called success is actually a kind of failure
Xu Qinglang's master was not a serious person. He was extreme and crazy. He was like a complete lunatic.
If it wasn't for that night, he met Boss Zhou who awakened Ying Gou,
Everyone in the bookstore will be purified and killed by him.
The tradition left by this madman,
In fact, it is also inherited from the same lineage.
Xu Qinglang taught himself and studied hard, but in the end, it seemed that he was following the same path as his most hated master.
perhaps,
Soon after,
There will no longer be Xu Qinglang in this world.
Instead, there was an extra white glove belonging to the sea god.
Xu Qinglang's ending,
It was very likely that she was exactly the same as the woman who had died in his arms.
On the sea,
Even the most experienced captain can get lost.
What’s more, he is a young man with no experience
He stumbled out of the noodle shop,
He didn't know where he was going.
I don't even know where my feet will go next.
“CRASH!!!!”
The rolling door was opened.
Xu Qinglang turned his head with some doubt.
The door of the bookstore next door, which had been vacant for a long time, was opened from the inside.
Zhou Ze stood at the door with a dirty towel around his shoulders.
Akimbo,
pant,
Impatience,
Boss Zhou sighed:
"Spring cleaning is so tiring."
Xu Qinglang stood there motionless.
Why is he here
he,
So familiar,
Who is he
Why can’t I remember it
wrong,
he,
I definitely know him, I definitely know him!
"Old Xu, you went back to your hometown to visit your relatives but didn't even call me. No one has been to this old store for almost a year. It's extremely dirty and covered in dust. I just cleaned it with great difficulty but I am so exhausted."
Xu Qinglang nodded subconsciously.
yes,
For him who always likes to lie there and bask in the sun,
Cleaning is about...
It must be very tiring.
Xu Qinglang closed his eyes and made a painful sound in his throat, like a person with a hangover who was slowly regaining consciousness.
It hurts.
It hurts so much.
"Lao Xu, I'm hungry. Please make something to eat. As usual, keep the account."
The rain stopped.
It's almost dawn.
Zhou Ze simply brought out two plastic chairs from his old bookstore and placed them outside.
I sat directly on it.
Like an old grandfather.
Cross your hands on your chest,
Waiting for the sun to rise,
Then staggered,
Sunbathing.
It’s very beautiful. It’s very beautiful!
"good."
Xu Qinglang gritted his teeth. He felt dizzy and confused, as if he had just been hit hard by a hammer.
He walked back to his noodle shop and into the kitchen.
I didn’t use up all the vegetables I bought last night, and there’s still rice in the rice cooker, but it’s already cold.
He took a quick look.
Then he covered his forehead which was in unbearable pain.
As if sleepwalking,
Open the gas tank.
ignition,
Pour the oil,
First, egg fried rice.
Then I fried two side dishes to go with the rice.
While cooking, he almost fell down in the kitchen several times. He was like a tumbler, not falling over, but making people feel anxious.
“Rice… Food…”
Zhou Ze was still sitting on the plastic chair.
Just like when I first came here a year ago,
At that time, the moon was shaking and people were wandering.
Sitting in the bookstore every day,
I seldom go out.
I'm too lazy to go out.
Like a newborn baby, he is a little curious about the things outside, but more of it is fear.
Egg fried rice was served, along with two side dishes, and placed on the second plastic stool.
Chopsticks and spoons were also handed over.
Zhou Ze picked up the chopsticks and rubbed them gently.
Xu Qinglang leaned against the door frame, his eyes wandering. He seemed to understand a lot, but there were still many things he didn't understand.
Zhou Ze picked up some food.
Put it into your mouth,
"Ugh..."
My chest heaved.
A strong feeling of nausea came over me.
Zhou Ze opened his mouth.
Spit out the food in his mouth.
It has been a long time, ever since I had the red spider lily, I seemed to have forgotten the fear that I used to be dominated by eating three meals a day.
Xu Qinglang beside him frowned.
Homemade dishes,
Is it so unpalatable
Although I am a little absent-minded when I cook,
But is it really that unpalatable
"Old Xu."
Zhou Ze shouted.
Xu Qinglang did not respond.
"Mrs. Xu?"
Zhou Ze shouted again.
Xu Qinglang still didn't move.
Zhou Ze couldn't help it.
He poked Xu Qinglang's leg with the end of his chopsticks.
Taking a deep breath, he asked:
"Is there any vinegar?"
Xu Qinglang nodded.
Go inside,
I took out a bottle of vinegar.
Handed it to Zhou Ze.
Zhou Ze remembered the time when he just came back.
Every time I eat, I drink half a bottle of vinegar first, and then take advantage of the stomach cramps to eat a few mouthfuls of rice. This is how I deal with three meals a day.
Unscrew the cap of the vinegar bottle.
Took a big sip,
Just as I was about to swallow it,
Suddenly, directly,
"puff!"
A mouthful of vinegar,
It all came out.
Zhou Ze was a little embarrassed.
It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.
The good times have been over for too long.
I really can't get used to the days when I had to rely on vinegar to make a living.
"hehe."
beside,
Xu Qinglang, who had been silent all this time, suddenly smiled.
Zhou Ze shook his head and continued looking at the vinegar in his hand.
In my heart,
There is a struggle between heaven and man.
Suddenly,
A glass was placed in front of him.
There is blue liquid in the cup.
It exudes sour and sweet flavors.
This taste,
So familiar,
Sour plum juice!
Zhou Ze picked up the sour plum juice in front of him.
I watched it again and again.
Lift your head,
Looking at Xu Qinglang beside him, he said:
"Do you remember that the store still has stock? It won't be expired, right?"
“I remember.”
Xu Qinglang replied,
At this time,
The blue color in his eyes was slowly fading away, and even his split pupils were beginning to recover.
"I thought you had forgotten about it. You haven't drunk in a while."
Zhou Ze sighed.
"I thought you forgot." Xu Qinglang squatted down and said in a lower voice, "I have been brewing it the whole time."
Zhou Ze pulled the plastic bench away from under him.
I just sat down against the wall.
For a person with deep mysophobia who wants to change the bed sheets twice a day,
When doing this,
But it seems very natural.
Reach out,
Pulling Xu Qinglang's wrist,
"sit down."
Xu Qinglang didn't move.
Zhou Ze pulled again, using a little more strength.
"Sit down."
Xu Qinglang sat down.
Two men,
In the morning when the sky is bright,
Sit together against the wall facing the road.
Zhou Ze reached out and patted his shoulder, saying, "Can I borrow it for you to lean on?"
Xu Qinglang glanced at Zhou Ze and said, "Can you stop being disgusting?"
"I'm just returning the favor."
Zhou Ze smiled and continued:
"I still remember that day when I learned that I was murdered by Xu Le, just like you before, I held my head and knelt behind the bookstore counter.
At that time,
You just walked in.
What did you do
Let me tell you,
You're so fucking disgusting, you actually hugged me in your arms!
I was so sick, fuck!"
Xu Qinglang raised his head.
He remembered that day.
"I was thinking, damn, I have to find an opportunity to hug you once in the future and let you experience this disgusting feeling of forced homosexuality."
Saying,
Zhou Ze stretched out his hand.
He put his arm around Xu Qinglang's shoulders in a very rude manner.
"Old Xu, to be honest, you should just focus on cooking, that's fine too. Don't listen to Old An's nonsense. That guy started to cheer up everyone in the bookstore.
As a result, he himself has become weak.
If you only have food and sleep, you will soon become corrupt."
"He will come back, he said so."
Xu Qinglang suddenly spoke.
Zhou Ze opened his mouth.
He knew who Xu Qinglang was talking about.
The master who killed Lao Xu's parents.
No more words,
Zhou Ze simply took a sip of sour plum juice.
hiss!
So sour,
but,
So cool...
"I don't want him to come back next time and I'm still standing behind you. I really don't want to."
Xu Qinglang muttered to himself.
"Yeah." Zhou Ze nodded. He could understand this feeling.
The only one to blame is Lao Xu's master. That guy has gone crazy to a certain level. This enemy is like a boss in an online game. Not only can he be defeated once, but he can also be defeated twice and three times.
He said he would come back.
In fact, every time Zhou Ze saw similar news, he would sigh in his heart.
It seems that the days before Xu Qinglang's master appears again are getting shorter and shorter because of these news.
"Anyway, thanks."
Xu Qinglang smiled. The blue color in his eyes had completely disappeared and his pupils returned to normal. He took a deep breath and felt refreshed.
Zhou Ze handed the sour plum juice to Xu Qinglang and said:
"Would you like to have a bite too?"
Xu Qinglang shook his head.
"You brewed it yourself. It tastes very good." Zhou Ze urged.
Xu Qinglang continued to shake his head firmly.
"Hey, hey, hey, you, the producer, don't drink it, but I drank it for so long. I'm a little panicked."
"Old Zhou, do you know what I was thinking when I brewed this?"
"What?"
"I'll make you jealous to death!"
“… …” Zhou Ze.
“Then I got desperate and changed the recipe, trying everything to increase the acidity, but you get addicted.
At that time, I thought, you are such a beast."
"hehe."
Zhou Ze smiled.
That being said,
But for a long time at that time, if it weren't for Xu Qinglang's sour juice,
Zhou Ze estimated that he would have collapsed from malnutrition long ago.
"Do you have any cigarettes? I'm out of cigarettes." Zhou Ze asked.
Xu Qinglang felt in his pocket and took out a cigarette. He took one for himself and passed one to Zhou Ze.
Two cigarettes, lit.
Zhou Ze took a deep breath.
Slowly blowing out smoke rings,
Pursed his lips and said:
"After we finish this cigarette, let's go back. They'll be waking up soon and waiting for your breakfast."
Xu Qinglang shook off the cigarette ash.
Nodded,
"good."
