Chapter 131 The Vanished Sancun Village!

Xu Qinglang sat on a sofa, smoking a cigarette, with a glass of iced beer in front of him.

Zhou Ze walked over, reached out, picked up the beer, and drank it all in one gulp.

"What's wrong?" Xu Qinglang knew that Zhou Ze didn't usually drink.

"It's like when you showed off to that corgi girl that you had more than twenty apartments."

"............" Xu Qinglang.

After a period of silence, Xu Qinglang poured Zhou Ze another glass of wine, and the two men sat quietly.

"Let me tell you something, I wanted to tell you yesterday, but I wasn't in the mood."

"I'm not in the mood now either."

"Isn't it just that your ashes were stolen? It's like a pervert collected your toenails that you cut off before, what's there to be so hung up about?"

"It's easy for you to say."

"I'm very envious of you. I think if one day I can drink and feel sad that my ashes have been stolen, I'll laugh out loud even when I'm lying in bed."

Xu Qinglang had a serious expression on his face.

Yeah,

If the ancestral grave was dug up or the parents' ashes were stolen by enemies, then one would definitely be angry and anxious!

But it seems that no one has ever been anxious after their own ashes were stolen.

"So should I post on Weibo, flaunting in a low-key, luxurious, and meaningful way?" Zhou Ze retorted.

"Hehe, just kidding, by the way, have they found the thief?"

"Little Loli is still looking."

Zhou Ze could only wait for news now.

At this moment, Zhou Ze and Xu Qinglang looked towards the stairwell together. The old Taoist priest came down carrying a man on his back.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Ze asked.

Tang Shi, who was behind him, ignored Zhou Ze. A taxi was parked outside. Tang Shi and the man got into the taxi together. It looked like they were planning to leave.

They came and left so quickly, and the man was still unconscious.

The most important thing was that he even "twitched" while he was unconscious,

Scattering ghost messenger certificates all over the floor.

Zhou Ze didn't even have time to wait for him to wake up and chat before they were ready to leave.

Of course, Zhou Ze didn't try to keep them, because they all knew that they weren't the kind of people who were polite, reserved, and liked to be courteous.

Stay if you want,

Leave if you want,

There's no need to pretend to refuse to welcome someone just to put on a show.

The taxi drove away, but to Zhou Ze's surprise, the old Taoist priest came back; he didn't leave after all.

Zhou Ze thought the old Taoist priest would leave with them.

The old Taoist priest walked back into the store as if nothing had happened.

"Hey," Zhou Ze called out.

The old Taoist priest turned his head to look at Zhou Ze, smiled innocently, and said:

"Boss, Miss Tang took Mr. Liang away. Miss Tang had already arranged a new place to live. They're going to Shanghai. She said that now that they have their certificates, it's not convenient to bother you anymore."

"Why didn't you go with them?" Zhou Ze asked.

"I am your loyal old Taoist priest!"

The old Taoist priest said righteously.

"Tell me the truth."

"I can't leave you, I can't bear to leave you."

"The truth."

Zhou Ze looked at his fingernails.

"Mr. Liang is in this state right now, so the underworld store can't open in the near future. There's nothing for me to do if I go with them, so I can only continue to help you here."

Zhou Ze nodded and walked to his bar. Business had been good these days, and he had sent a lot of ghosts down, so he had accumulated a lot of hell money.

Taking out half of it, Zhou Ze handed it to the old Taoist priest,

"Give it to them, they're new here, they should be short of money."

Zhou Ze was worried that if Tang Shi was short of money, she would go straight to rob a bank. That woman was capable of doing anything.

Hell money could be used as consumables, and it could also be used as a bank card. Anyway, after burning it, someone would drop money at your door.

Unexpectedly, the old Taoist priest shook his head directly and said:

"Boss, Mr. Liang is very rich. He has many villas in Shanghai, properties all over the country, and he also has many boxes of small goldfish hidden."

"............" Zhou Ze.

His heart,

Ached so much that he couldn't breathe...

Zhou Ze felt that he had suffered two critical hits within an hour,

And both were invisible.

Putting the money back, Zhou Ze sat down silently.

At this time, a girl ran over to the door. The girl was dressed in rags, which could even be described as barely covering her body.

In fact, to be honest,

Under the wise leadership of the Party Central Committee in this era, the living standards of the people across the country are constantly improving, and people's material and spiritual lives are constantly being enriched and fulfilled.

With the help of new era new policies, and precise poverty alleviation measures, poor households can also get a lot of help. It can be said that the era of national prosperity is not far away.

Even if there are some beggars in some cities, it is really rare to see beggars who are so miserable and poorly dressed these years.

The old Taoist priest was still wiping the table, seemingly not seeing the little girl come in.

The little monkey jumped directly onto the old Taoist priest's head, using its two monkey paws to pinch the old Taoist priest's head, controlling the old Taoist priest to look in the direction of the little girl.

"Is there a ghost coming?"

The old Taoist priest muttered to himself while taking out eye drops from his pocket and applying them to his eyes.

There was no other way; in this bookstore, he was the only one who couldn't directly see ghosts.

After seeing the dirty little girl, the old Taoist priest consciously looked at Zhou Ze.

"Boss, a customer has arrived, time to entertain them."

The old man's voice sounded like he was back in the ancient Yingchun Brothel.

Ladies,

Come out to entertain the guests!

Coming,

Mama.

Xu Qinglang stood up, preparing cold dishes and drinks, while Zhou Ze signaled the girl to follow him.

The girl was a little confused and a little afraid. She looked at Zhou Ze and then at the old Taoist priest, but she still followed Zhou Ze into the private room according to her instinct.

Zhou Ze sat down and motioned for the other party to sit down as well.

The girl sat down, and Xu Qinglang also brought up a few cold dishes and a steamed bun.

When he was about to pour wine, Zhou Ze signaled that it was not necessary.

Although she was a ghost, she was still a child after all.

Moreover, from the little girl's expression, it could be seen that she was not the type of existence like a Heavenly Mountain Child Granny.

The girl began to gobble down the food,

Obviously she was "starving."

And this kind of hunger was more like she had actually been "starving" when she was alive.

Zhou Ze sat there silently, watching the girl eat.

After the girl finished eating, a satisfied smile appeared on her face, and she said:

"I'm so full, it feels so good to be full."

The girl's words were spoken with a strong local dialect accent.

Children in this era can't even speak dialect; they basically speak standard Mandarin.

"Now that you're full, let's start the journey."

Zhou Ze was ready to open the Gate of Hell.

The little girl looked at Zhou Ze with some fear, but she didn't cry or make a fuss, and just waited silently.

"Wait a minute." Xu Qinglang, who had been watching the little girl eat, suddenly said, "Do you want to eat some meat?"

The little girl was stunned for a moment, then her eyes lit up, and she nodded repeatedly.

"Then wait."

These words were said to the little girl, and also to Zhou Ze.

Alright, Old Xu wanted to be a good person, a great philanthropist, and Zhou Ze had no reason to stop him, so he continued to sit there.

A quarter of an hour later, Xu Qinglang brought out a plate of braised pork, and the little girl continued to eat.

In fact, what ghosts eat is offerings, is incense. The little girl seemed to be eating ravenously, but in reality, the dishes on the table didn't seem to have been touched by ordinary people.

"Is the meat, is it delicious?" Xu Qinglang asked.

"Delicious, delicious," the little girl said.

"Are you overflowing with maternal love today?"

Zhou Ze asked curiously.

Xu Qinglang shook his head, a faint sorrow gathering between his brows. Since returning yesterday, he had been maintaining this Daiyu-like grief.

A man,

Lost his virginity,

And could actually be so resentful, as if life had lost its meaning.

Zhou Ze felt that he should be glad that there was no water well in the bookstore, otherwise, Lady Xu might have directly chosen to sacrifice herself.

The little girl finished eating,

Then patted her stomach,

And looked at Zhou Ze.

This time she was very well-behaved, she was well-behaved after eating, a very sensible child.

She knew she was about to start her journey.

Zhou Ze stood up, opened the Gate of Hell, and asked:

"Go in."

Zhou Ze didn't ask her story, perhaps because he had heard too many stories before, Zhou Ze had become not so fond of listening to stories.

Most dead people have their own sad stories.

The little girl blinked her eyes, looked at Zhou Ze, and asked:

"Can I eat my fill before going in?"

"Yes."

Zhou Ze nodded.

"Then I'll go call everyone, the villagers are all hungry, I want to let everyone have enough to eat."

Zhou Ze's hand that was opening the Gate of Hell trembled slightly.

There were still "everyone" she could call?

Did this mean there was a big wave of business to be had?

Subconsciously, Zhou Ze closed the Gate of Hell that he had just opened.

Boss Zhou was in the initial stage of his career and urgently needed performance to prove himself, so he naturally understood the principle of taking a long-term approach.

"Where is your home?"

Zhou Ze asked.

"Sancun Village." The little girl replied.

"Where is Sancun Village? Which district is it in? Rugao, Menhai, or Chongchuan Gangzha?"

Although Zhou Ze had possessed a body and returned to life, he was from Tongcheng in his previous life, but he still didn't remember there being a Sancun Village in Tongcheng.

Zhou Ze looked at Xu Qinglang, and Xu Qinglang shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either.

"I don't know." The girl didn't know where Sancun Village was, and she had never even heard of the names of those districts and counties that Zhou Ze said.

"Then............"

Zhou Ze was a little helpless and could only continue to ask:

"Then can you go back the way you came?"

The girl shook her head blankly, "I don't know how I walked out of the village, and then I walked and walked, and I walked here."

She couldn't go back the way she came?

Zhou Ze even began to suspect that the girl came from a neighboring city, a ghost that had crossed the border, but thinking about it again, it didn't seem right. The girl spoke with a Tongcheng accent, so it was unlikely that she was from somewhere else.

Just when Zhou Ze was very conflicted, Xu Qinglang took out his mobile phone and searched.

"Did you find it?" Zhou Ze asked.

Xu Qinglang shook his head, "I can't find any information about this administrative village."

"You can't find it online either?" Zhou Ze was a little surprised.

"Hey, wait a minute, there's a post here mentioning 'Sancun Village'."

Xu Qinglang signaled Zhou Ze to wait, and then clicked on the post, saying:

"The title of this post is:

'Asking the big guys,

Is there a place called Sancun Village in Tongcheng?'"

"What about the replies below?" Zhou Ze asked.

"Nothing.

Don't know.

Never heard of it.

No.

Never heard of it.

Upstairs +1............"

Xu Qinglang kept flipping through the pages, then froze, looked down for a while, and then looked up at Zhou Ze.

"Did you find something?"

"There's a reply here: When I was a child, my grandmother told me that she was from Sancun Village, but when she was ten years old, she followed her grandmother back to her old home in Xingdong Town.

When she went back a few days later, she found that the village, was gone."

"Gone?" Zhou Ze was stunned for a moment.

Gone,

What did that mean?

"Someone asked for clarification below," Xu Qinglang said, "I'll look for this person's reply again............found it, he replied to the person above asking for clarification, saying:

That year, it was 1938, you can figure out why the village was gone yourselves."
