Xu Qinglang parked the car in front of the bookstore, opened the trunk, took out the vegetables he bought and returned to the store.
"Yingying, where's Lao Zhou?"
Xu Qinglang asked.
Zhou Zegang also sent himself a WeChat message, saying that Lao Zhang and the others would be back tonight, so he bought some more vegetables.
"I don't know. It seems like he suddenly went out for something. The boss just said he was going to take a shower, but when I went upstairs to get clothes, he was gone."
"There seems to be a fire over there. Maybe he went there." Xu Qinglang put down his things, wiped the sweat off his face, and said, "Come on, Yingying, help me."
"OK!"
Yingying is very happy.
It is said in "Self-cultivation of a Maid":
Learn from the foreigners and defeat them!
Sometimes, Yingying really thinks that the book "A Maid's Self-cultivation" is really amazing, and its theories can even be used in international relations!
"Slice the liver first, then wash it with beer."
“Why beer?”
“It can remove fishy smells and blood stains better.”
"Oh, okay, got it."
Yingying held a kitchen knife in her hand.
Start chopping, chopping, chopping.
Putting aside other things for now, at least Yingying's knife skills are indeed great, and her control of strength is indeed different from ordinary people.
"Oh, by the way, Mrs. Xu... Old Xu."
"Um?"
"I don't think I'm that cold anymore."
"Isn't this a good thing?"
Only when it's warm does it feel like a living person.
Xu Qinglang also heard some things about Yingying's physical changes, and he thought it was a good thing.
Everyone lives in the bookstore like a human being, eating, drinking water, sleeping, and occasionally getting cared for if they have a minor headache or fever. This is life.
Otherwise, with a room full of zombies and monsters, it would be very lonely to eat and sleep alone.
"No, it's not true. My boss only liked to be with me when I was very cold before, because he was afraid of heat and liked the cold."
Haha, that’s true.
Xu Qinglang remembered that there was a power outage last summer, and Lao Zhou was not at home. He and Lao Dao were so hot that they had no choice but to run to Yingying's room with a cool mat and sleep on the floor to cool down.
Now I am in the kitchen with Yingying.
What you can feel is the heat from the kitchen stove.
On Yingying's side,
Unless you're very close to her,
Otherwise it really isn’t as cold as before.
In terms of power, it has indeed dropped a lot.
"Before, the boss could fall asleep as long as he was in the same room with me. Now that I am not that cold, the boss has to stay close to me to feel the cool feeling he likes.
I’m afraid that after a while, I’ll be completely out of ice, and my boss might not want me anymore.”
For example, just now, the boss wanted to take a nap, so he had to let me rest my head on his shoulder.
"It's okay. When you're no longer frozen, Lao Zhou will be happier to develop other games. He probably can't wait any longer.
Oh, by the way, please help me cut the onions too."
"OK."
… …
"boss… … "
Zhou Ze ignored the old Taoist and instead reached out to pick up the big golden retriever at his feet.
Dogs are indeed more sensitive than humans in some aspects. The golden retriever that was picked up by Zhou Ze was scared like a little quail, and its body was still trembling slightly.
"this… … "
The old Taoist pointed at the woman who had just been kicked unconscious by her boss.
"She let her..."
Zhou Ze hadn't finished speaking yet.
His eyes immediately fixed,
The golden hair in his hand was also thrown down by him.
Then he grabbed the old Taoist's hand.
The figure quickly rolled sideways.
“Buzz!”
A ball of terrifying blue flame swept over directly,
The normal fire that was originally burning below seemed to have lost all sense of existence when the blue flame appeared, and it was extinguished instantly.
The blue flame almost brushed past Zhou Ze and the old Taoist, but did not cause any harm to the fainted woman and the golden retriever in front of them. It seemed to have its own consciousness and only burned the targets it wanted to burn.
Zhou Ze didn't hesitate at all. He grabbed the old Taoist's body and dodged it. Then he broke the glass from the back window of the house and jumped out.
The nail scratched a spark on the wall.
When we reach the ground,
The speed also dropped.
Under their feet,
It was the small flowerbed behind the burning building.
Not far ahead, there is a swimming pool in the community, but the swimming pool is not open yet and there is no water in it.
"Boss, what was that just now? It was so scary."
The old Taoist also saw the blue flame. He knew that this flame was definitely not ordinary. The flame, which could make people tremble in the depths of their souls as soon as it appeared, was really terrifying.
"I don't know either. Stay here for now. I'm going to go meet that guy."
I was still dissatisfied with the old Taoist before, but now is not the time to worry about it. In Tongcheng, there are actually people who dare to attack me.
You really think your life is too long!
but,
Boss Zhou seemed to be disappointed with the other party's attitude.
Because the opponent didn't intend to launch a sneak attack.
He was not worried that Zhou Ze would go looking for him.
Because the other party,
He has taken the initiative again!
In the soil of the flowerbed beneath my feet,
Suddenly, a blue light shone through.
The two of them now felt like they were standing on a volcano that could erupt at any time.
Boss Zhou did not hesitate at all.
The five nails on my left hand have fully grown out.
Insert it directly into the ground!
Five black chains appeared.
Like a net,
Just lock the ground under your feet completely!
The lid below was about to be lifted up, and Boss Zhou had essentially added another layer of tape to it.
After finishing these,
Zhou Ze raised his head.
Look up.
A paper man is slowly falling from above.
Falling together,
There is also a tremendous pressure.
It seems that everything in the world is before him,
Are as small as dust,
Any will before him,
Either surrender or be destroyed!
Zhou Ze's knees were under tremendous pressure at this time.
But he still insisted on standing.
When the incident with Mrs. Bai happened, a pit was blown out in front of the bookstore. Inside it was a doll that seemed to be related to fairies or at least had some fairy-like aura. Boss Zhou didn't kneel then, so how could he kneel now
But the old Taoist priest next to him was different.
I don't know if it's because of too much pressure or some other reason.
"Plop",
The old Taoist knelt down with an especially crisp voice.
Also exceptionally neat.
The height of the paper man is decreasing.
The momentum also began to become more intense like a rising tide.
Zhou Ze gritted his teeth.
Grab the right hand upward:
"newspaper!"
"boom!"
Several black chains were pulled up horizontally, but they disappeared without touching the paper man's body. However, the trajectory of the paper man's body was changed as a result, and he slid to the other side.
final,
It floated ten meters in front of Zhou Ze.
If you say that you can see any handsomeness or elegant posture from a small paper figure, it is definitely a lie.
But it's just a small paper figure.
He exudes an aura that even Boss Zhou feels is as impressive as Alexander.
That's amazing enough.
The paper man has a spirit. Although his eyes are dotted, you can really feel the movement of his gaze. At this moment, his gaze has fallen from Zhou Ze to the old Taoist who is kneeling on the ground next to him.
At this moment, the old Taoist only felt as if there was a rumbling sound of thunder in his head. He felt so uncomfortable that he could not hear any noise outside. Even his eyes began to turn black and dark. He was almost completely fainted.
Although he was always on guard, Zhou Ze found that the paper man's emotions were clearly revealed. The other party did not intend to hide anything and seemed to be too disdainful to do so.
Because sometimes hiding is a self-protection mechanism in itself, but the other party obviously doesn't have it.
You can clearly feel the "disappointment, anger, sadness, and anger at the other person's lack of resistance..."
Such complicated emotions.
Where does this emotion come from
"waste."
The voice of the paper man came,
As if condensing from the air.
Boss Zhou narrowed his eyes. Was the other party scolding him
Cursing the old Taoist,
This is...
only,
What does the flame just now mean? Is it a way of saying hello
But since the other party showed up, Boss Zhou put away some of his targeting intentions and said:
"Since you are here, please save him, otherwise I will turn him into a zombie..."
"Why would I...save a...piece of trash?"
"Aren't you here to rescue him?"
Boss Zhou was surprised.
Then he continued to ask: "What about the Shouyuan and the two couriers that were robbed earlier..."
"He is just a funeral sacrifice and a shroud. After all, he is the descendant of the mansion master's lineage. Even if he dies, he must have his dignity."
Boss Zhou finally understood the source of the complicated emotions that the other party had revealed before.
It's a bit like Zhu Yuanzhang looking at Zhu Youxiao and Zhu Youjian again, or Nurhaci or Huang Taiji looking at Guangxu and Puyi.
It's true.
The kind of look that makes one want to pick up a knife and kill this unfilial descendant.
However, this is someone else's family affair after all;
Boss Zhou could only say:
"Calm down, calm down. No matter how bad he is or what mistakes he made, he is still connected to you, right
Besides, you don't have to kill him to vent your anger. He is almost dead. He has a terminal illness."
The paper man suddenly laughed.
"Let's run away, and take Dao-Tong with us.
I'm going to die, but I want to take Daotong with me when I die.
When a person dies, his soul can continue.
Even if you die, your teachings can still be passed on.
Life is gone, but spirit can be continued.
What on earth do I, the Taishan lineage, owe this unworthy son
He had to deliberately abandon the foundation and ruin the painstaking efforts of several generations of Taishan lineage!
now,
Then deliberately pull the Tao together to perish,
All hope of Taishan's comeback is completely gone!"
Hearing these words,
Boss Zhou was also stunned for a moment.
I wipe it,
I had only heard An Buqi say before that the last Lord was fooled by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, lost his kingdom and disappeared;
The result is not that simple.
Is this Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha's trick really that awesome or is this old Taoist really stupid to be fooled into being so honest
This is like digging up your own ancestral grave to determine your own feng shui.
Boss Zhou had to turn his head to look at the old Taoist priest who was kneeling below and had no idea what was happening outside.
With emotion:
"It seems like this is a bit too much."
