chun jie di xiao long
Chapter 31 Biu!
Zhou Ze had no way to answer this question. Whether what the little loli from Rong City said was true or false, he didn't have the qualifications to delve into it.
It was helpless, but that was the truth.
Although he had heard the little loli from Rong City say that the "kindred" in Rong City had attempted to act as a judge of the mortal realm as a ghost,
Zhou Ze admired and respected him, but his ending was also tragic.
When you don't have the capital or strength to stand on the same line as the other party, you don't even have the qualifications for equal dialogue, so where would you get the qualifications to question them?
"Boring." The little loli shook her head but then smiled, "But that's what I admire about you."
The little loli continued to hold the book with both hands, as if she was about to fall asleep, and muttered,
"You're the most self-aware person I've ever met."
"............" Zhou Ze.
Was that a compliment or an insult?
"I'm leaving." The little loli was getting more and more sleepy and tired.
"I have one more question. Besides eating and sleeping, are there no other ways to solve or improve this?" This was the question Zhou Ze wanted to ask the most and was most eager to solve.
Having returned through the resurrection of a borrowed corpse, he could perfectly integrate into social life at all times except for these two problems.
"In terms of stability, an assembled computer isn't as good as one with original parts." The little loli shook her head weakly, "As for sleeping, unless you have a yin creature crawling out of hell by your side, and this yin creature provides you with an environment similar to the magnetic field of hell, you simply can't rest.
You were originally a person from hell, staying in the human world is like suffering from acclimatization, and the most severe kind. Because you still have some special qualities, you can still solve it with special methods. Other people simply can't fall asleep, and they're almost driven crazy or to death after not sleeping for half a year!
So, you're already lucky."
The little loli "hehe"d weakly twice, "If I didn't go back, you could hold me to sleep."
"............" Zhou Ze.
"As for eating, I still can't get used to human food."
After saying this,
The little loli's head tilted to the side, and she fell asleep directly. Zhou Ze reached out to support her. Seeing that she was still breathing and her body was normal, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhou Ze used to be a doctor, so he could naturally tell that the girl wasn't in any serious trouble.
This little one was Wang Ke's daughter, and he couldn't just watch something happen to her.
However, what disappointed Zhou Ze was that the scene of the little loli leaving was a bit too ordinary.
"Shouldn't it be a 'biu' sound and then遁入 (dùnrù, escape into) the ground? Falling asleep directly counts as going back?" Zhou Ze said to himself.
Not grand, and not much to see, just like drawing a talisman on the palm of your hand;
There was no sense of ritual, no B-ge (slang for classiness, style) at all.
The little loli in his arms suddenly opened her eyes and said, "Okay."
Zhou Ze was stunned for a moment, she was pretending to be asleep!
The next moment,
A cloud of yin energy so dense that it seemed to be about to turn into water droplets surged out of the little loli's body. Even though Zhou Ze's bookstore had central air conditioning, the temperature dropped in an instant;
The door was closed, but gusts of cold wind stirred inside, along with the sound of pages being turned.
The boundless shadow covered this area, like the revival of a fierce beast, bringing a sense of oppression that only ghosts could perceive.
Zhou Ze's fingernails grew out again after being stimulated by this, and a feeling of blood rushing through his body was generated, as if the power within him was echoing the other party.
Then,
It really was,
With a "biu" sound,
All the yin energy instantly surged into a point underground,
In an instant,
The clouds dissipated,
The temperature rose,
The sun shone in,
In a daze, it seemed to truly echo the saying:
It's like the birds have all been eaten and thrown into the forest, leaving a vast expanse of white land truly clean!
…………
In the evening, Xu Qinglang brought dinner, but the sour plum juice was gone and replaced with bitter gourd juice.
"There's no sour plum juice,
Let's make do with bitter gourd juice for now."
Xu Qinglang said a little embarrassedly. During the day, he had seen the little loli and been scared out of his wits.
In fact, he himself understood that he was very cowardly and useless.
When his parents were taken away by the little loli, he didn't dare to settle accounts with her, let alone resist, and could only kneel there and beg like a weakling.
Moreover, he even blamed Zhou Ze for this and tried to poison Zhou Ze's food.
Now, Xu Qinglang had figured it out. So what if he was a coward? He was just a minor Xuan Shi (mystic practitioner) with the ability to see ghosts due to his physical qualities. He really didn't have the courage to face the ghost messengers of hell.
In fact, the little loli could have punished him for privately detaining the souls of his parents, deducting his lifespan, or even directly detaining his soul and taking him back to hell.
She treated him like a fart and let him go,
So he didn't need to jump around anymore.
The dead can't be brought back to life, and his previous actions were indeed against the natural order.
Zhou Ze finished his meal and placed a thousand yuan in front of Xu Qinglang.
"This is for the previous meals, plus the future ones. Tell me when you run out."
"Oh, you've got money?" Xu Qinglang finally showed a little smile on his face, then pushed the money back to Zhou Ze and said gently, "Life isn't easy, don't be extravagant, you have to take care of your home."
"............" Zhou Ze.
"I'm a man with more than twenty apartments, I don't care about your little money."
"............" Zhou Ze.
Zhou Ze wanted to say that he would soon be able to have money too, as long as he earned more money from the dead, and then burned paper money to play with at the door, some fool would run to his shop and throw their wallet to act as a wealth-scattering boy.
But then Zhou Ze thought about it again,
Even if he burned a truckload of ghost money, he probably wouldn't be able to burn out twenty-odd apartments, right?
Unless an armored car had an accident in front of his shop...
"I'm planning to change storefronts, what about you?" Xu Qinglang suddenly said.
"Change to where?"
"Anywhere is better than here." Xu Qinglang smiled, "I'm planning to move the noodle shop to a county town below. It's a little smaller in scale, but at least it's more popular."
"I'll think about it." Zhou Ze said perfunctorily.
"Okay, I'll go first."
Xu Qinglang took the dishes and chopsticks and walked out of the underworld store.
Zhou Ze was trimming his nails while looking at the symbol on his palm. It was evening, and no customers had come to the door yet. Zhou Ze was a little anxious. Before, he didn't see any hope, so he just muddled through each day. Now that he had seen the dawn of making money, his subjective initiative naturally rose.
What, still no customers?
Didn't they say I'm like a fluorescent light,
That I can blind their ghost eyes?
Come on,
Could it be that they've all been blinded and gotten lost?
"Creak............"
The door of the bookstore was pushed open, and two women walked in.
One was very young, about the same age as Zhou Ze (Xu Le), and the other was probably almost fifty, like a mother and daughter.
Zhou Ze recognized the young woman.
She was his first customer since opening the store. He remembered that she came in with a corgi, sat for a while, read a book, and left him a hundred yuan, which was his first income.
However, this time the woman didn't have the corgi with her, but she brought her mother.
"Sigh, sit here, be careful, see if there's anything dirty on it." The woman said to the girl.
The girl bent down, took out a tissue, wiped the plastic stool, and then sat down dejectedly.
"Take a book and read it, dear. There are no unsolvable problems, and there are no insurmountable obstacles in life. Take it easy." The woman comforted her from the side.
"Sigh." The girl sighed, her face still dejected, obviously not listening.
"Dear, take a book and read it, reading a book will make you forget the time." The woman squatted next to the girl and continued to comfort her, looking like a pitiful parent.
Zhou Ze was still trimming his nails, ignoring them.
At this time, the girl looked at Zhou Ze and said,
"Boss."
The girl called out very softly, looking pitiful and lovely, as if she had just broken up and was at her most vulnerable.
"You're the boss, right." The woman looked at Zhou Ze, looking like a protective hen.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Ze asked.
"What are you thinking?" The woman asked vigilantly, "Dear, ignore him."
The girl was silent for a while, but finally opened her mouth and said,
"Beibei is lost."
Beibei should be the name of the corgi.
"Lost?" Zhou Ze asked.
"Yeah, lost." The girl's eyes were red, as if she thought of her beloved dog and started to tear up again, "When I was cleaning the house, it secretly ran out of the house, and I didn't notice."
"It's just lost, you can buy another one, why are you crying?" The woman comforted her.
Zhou Ze stood up and walked over.
"What are you doing?" The woman pointed at Zhou Ze.
"It'll be found." Zhou Ze ignored the woman and comforted the girl.
"Yeah."
The girl cried and reached out to hug Zhou Ze's shoulder.
"You bastard, she lost her dog, not her man, why are you sticking your nose in!" The woman pretended to rush over and hit Zhou Ze.
"Do you have the right to speak here?"
A wisp of black light appeared in Zhou Ze's eyes,
The woman was immediately frightened and screamed, curling up on the ground, not daring to say anything more.
"What's wrong?" The girl raised her head blankly, she didn't know who Zhou Ze was talking to just now.
Zhou Ze let go of the girl. When a person is at their lowest, that is when the three lamps on their body are the weakest, and it is easy for dirty things to stick to them.
Fortunately, this woman may have been lonely for too long and liked to nag, but she wasn't a bad person.
"I posted a missing dog notice online, and I want to find it back." The girl took out her phone and showed Zhou Ze a picture of the dog.
"Boss, have you seen it?"
Zhou Ze smiled bitterly. His business here was so deserted that no one came, let alone a dog.
But the woman who had just been frightened and paralyzed by Zhou Ze shouted at this time:
"I've seen this dog, I've seen this dog, it's in my community;
I couldn't stand being at home when my husband and that little fox spirit were doing things,
So I went to the community to relax and saw someone walking past with this dog!"
