Chapter 103 Monkey

Holding the phone, Zhou Ze struggled to sit up, leaning against the board wall. Actually, he could move a little now. He might not be able to get out of bed and walk, but in other aspects, he really wasn't as weak as he had seemed before.

He reached out and pointed to a spot under the bed.

The little monkey turned its head and saw it was half a pack of opened Xiaosu cigarettes.

It jumped down, picked up the cigarettes, and handed them to Zhou Ze.

Zhou Ze made a lighter gesture.

The little monkey was stunned, very ashamed and indignant, wishing it could take out its big stick and hit Zhou Ze!

"I haven't smoked for a long time, I want one."

The little monkey jumped off the bed again and rummaged through the pile of debris, finally finding a lighter and throwing it over.

He lit the cigarette, took a puff, and exhaled a smoke ring. Although his body was still weak, like a patched-up canvas, ready to fall apart at any moment, this first cigarette in over ten days still gave Zhou Ze a sense of comfort.

He had deliberately pretended to be unable to move, but Zhou Ze wasn't sure what his purpose was.

Guilt?

Debt?

Perhaps, perhaps not. Even now, Zhou Ze didn't think he had made the wrong choice back then.

But at least right now, this monkey had indeed saved his life, and he owed it a lot.

Holding the phone, Zhou Ze thought for a while and realized that he didn't remember Bai Yingying's or Xu Qinglang's phone numbers at all. These days weren't like the old days when you went to a small shop to make a public phone call; few people bothered to memorize phone numbers, they were all saved directly in the address book.

Helpless, Zhou Ze could only dial "110".

Xu Qinglang and the others had indeed reported him missing. Zhou Ze told the operator on the phone that he was fine, and asked them to help contact the person who had reported the case to pick him up, so they wouldn't have to trouble the police.

About half an hour later, Xu Qinglang arrived in a Nissan, with Bai Yingying in the car.

Xu Qinglang covered his nose and walked into the shed. When he saw Zhou Ze lying on the bed, his eyes immediately became sore, but he quickly restrained himself.

Perhaps,

the most cruel thing in this world,

is when I promised to come home and cook,

but you didn't come back to eat.

Bai Yingying picked Zhou Ze up from the bed. She was very strong and carried Zhou Ze like he was nothing.

Zhou Ze said to Xu Qinglang on the side, "Bring that monkey with you."

The little monkey squatted by the bed, watching Zhou Ze being carried away, holding its plastic little hammer in its hand,

waving,

as if saying goodbye.

However, when Xu Qinglang walked towards it, the little monkey immediately jumped onto the board wall. It obviously didn't want to leave.

Ruling as the local tyrant here, with a bunch of cat and dog soldiers under its command, so many underlings giving it tribute every day, how pleasant! It didn't want to leave.

Moreover, it didn't quite like this guy it had saved.

Xu Qinglang looked at Zhou Ze.

Zhou Ze repeated, "Take it away."

No discussion.

The pet I've taken a fancy to,

must be taken away.

Xu Qinglang tried to catch the monkey, but the monkey was very agile and Xu Qinglang couldn't catch it at all.

Bai Yingying settled Zhou Ze in the car, then rushed over in one stride. The monkey didn't expect this woman to be so fast, and it was a step too slow, getting grabbed by the tail.

"Squeak squeak squeak!"

The monkey bared its teeth at Bai Yingying, looking fierce!

You stinky woman,

how dare you grab me!

"Roar!"

Bai Yingying also opened her mouth at the monkey, revealing her zombie fangs,

the scene of the blue face and fangs

directly stunned the monkey.

Behave yourself,

or I'll eat you!

"Be good, come with Grandma."

Bai Yingying dragged the monkey's butt with one hand and grabbed its tail with the other, put it in the car, and closed the car doors and windows.

Zhou Ze sat in the back seat, half-reclined.

The monkey sat next to Zhou Ze,

with its arms crossed, obviously sulking.

It felt that it had saved Zhou Ze, but Zhou Ze wanted to take away its freedom in return, which was not good!

I treated you like a patient, but you want to secretly train me!

"I'm taking you away because I'm afraid you'll save someone again and get hurt," Zhou Ze explained weakly. "Let's call the grudges from your past life even. In this life, I owe you first. Stay at my place for a while, and if you still want to leave in the future, then leave."

The monkey didn't know if it understood or not, but it was a little more honest than before.

Xu Qinglang threw over a bag of biscuits. The monkey caught it, opened the bag itself, grabbed some with its hand to eat, and didn't forget to feed Zhou Ze one.

The two had developed this kind of tacit understanding in their daily lives during this period.

"Oh, it seems I was worried for nothing. You two have been living quite comfortably recently."

Xu Qinglang joked as he drove.

"Are you jealous of a monkey?"

Bai Yingying suddenly interjected.

Xu Qinglang choked and stopped talking.

The bookstore hadn't been moved yet. Zhou Ze, the boss, had suddenly been missing for half a month, and no one was in the mood to move, so Xu Qinglang drove back to the old place.

After getting out of the car, Bai Yingying still carried Zhou Ze into the bookstore. Zhou Ze also resigned himself to his fate. If he had a choice between Xu Qinglang and Bai Yingying,

Zhou Ze still felt that he was more comfortable being carried by Bai Yingying.

The monkey didn't run away, but followed into the bookstore step by step.

"You're back?"

The old Taoist was cleaning the bookstore. When he saw Zhou Ze coming back, he immediately came over to flatter him and said:

"The good are always protected by Heaven."

Immediately, the old Taoist saw the monkey behind him and laughed, "You even brought back a pet?"

As he said that,

the old Taoist struck a Monkey King pose and shouted:

"What's the use of this iron rod!"

Unexpectedly, the little monkey actually cooperated, also striking a pose of scratching its ears and cheeks, pointing at the old Taoist with one finger and scratching itself with the other.

"Black, this monkey is smart, just like me."

After saying that, the old Taoist felt like he had said something wrong.

Just as they entered the store, a woman walked down the stairs.

First revealed was a pair of flesh-colored stockings, slender legs, an exquisite high school girl outfit, plus shawl-length hair.

Tang Shi had recovered almost completely and was able to walk.

Women love beauty, and the first thing she did after regaining her ability to move was to dress herself up.

On this point, Zhou Ze felt that Bai Yingying was much more simple. This silly girl didn't pay much attention to dressing up, except for liking to play games.

"If you didn't come back, we would have had to leave," Tang Shi said with a smile. "When the dog isn't around, the smell of the kennel fades, and we can't hide anymore."

"I just got back, can you say something nice?" Zhou Ze was really speechless towards this woman.

"Okay, let me say something nice. The noodle shop owner next door told me about what happened that day. Do you know what you went to provoke?"

"It seems to be called Qingyi Niangniang (Green-Clothed Goddess)," Zhou Ze replied.

"A temple deity, a temple deity about to be completely overthrown. You actually took the initiative to provoke her. Do you know that she doesn't have much time left, and she knows that she doesn't have much time left?"

"She's killing people."

"Do you know who she's killing?"

Zhou Ze glanced at the monkey still playing with the old Taoist, shook his head, and said:

"I'm not interested in knowing."

Tang Shi walked to Zhou Ze's side, then covered her nose, disdainfully saying:

"It stinks."

"That's why they're called smelly men."

"Were you always this glib?" Tang Shi wasn't angry either.

"Before, you were lying up there like a mummy, who would be interested in being glib with you." Zhou Ze pointed to the bathroom and said to Bai Yingying, "Help me take a bath."

Bai Yingying was stunned for a moment,

but the silly girl immediately said, "Oh, okay."

With Zhou Ze's current condition, it was impossible for him to take a bath himself, but his body was covered in layers of mud, and he wouldn't be comfortable without a bath.

Let Xu Qinglang help him take a bath?

Just thinking about it was unbearable.

Let the old Taoist help him take a bath?

Just imagining the old Taoist singing "Xintianyou" while scrubbing his back, and looking at the old Taoist's skinny body, it wasn't appealing.

As for Tang Shi, forget it. If he asked her to help him take a bath, she would probably rather "swoosh" and control a pen to give him a quick and painless end.

That only left the simple and kind Bai Yingying.

Entering the bathroom, Zhou Ze sat on a stool. Bai Yingying helped him take off his clothes. She didn't take off her own clothes, so the bathing scene wasn't as erotic as imagined.

Holding the shower head, she washed away the mud from Zhou Ze's body little by little. Looking at the scars all over Zhou Ze's body, Bai Yingying was surprised and couldn't close her mouth, and asked:

"Boss, your injuries are so terrible. That Qingyi Niangniang is really a terrible person. I heard that her temple has been torn down, she deserves it."

"She didn't do it," Zhou Ze said. "Actually, most of the injuries on my body were self-inflicted."

Zhou Ze found it difficult to understand that state, and didn't even know if he could actively enter that state again, but what was certain was that if he re-enacted the scene on the rooftop, he would still end up with a body full of scars.

Frankly speaking, his body was a bit too weak.

Bai Yingying began to apply shower gel to Zhou Ze.

Unknowingly, a strange look appeared on her face, and at the same time, she said:

"Boss, I don't know why, but when I touch your body, I feel like I really like this feeling. It's a very intimate feeling."

As a zombie, Bai Yingying sensed a similar feeling from Zhou Ze's body, and although this type seemed very weak, the suppression and disparity in grade instinctively gave her a desire to submit.

Bai Yingying had this feeling when she hugged Zhou Ze before.

"Take a good bath, don't make trouble,"

Zhou Ze reminded.

Just then, Xu Qinglang coughed outside the bathroom.

Bai Yingying's body froze.

"What is it?"

"I made a bet with Xu Meiren to see if the boss is normal or not."

As she said that, Bai Yingying suddenly opened her mouth wide and exclaimed:

"Boss, you actually..."
