Midnight Bookstore Chapter 228

The hand holding the cigarette, trembled slightly. Had just made a grand wish, determined to be a good lazy salted fish that was sleepy every day, who would have thought, this grand wish was still warm, but trouble came knocking on the door. The earth tomb last time, the side street spring house after entering, the paper figurine clone of the monk with the head of a scabby, and the resurrection Lily that he had stolen back from there as a condiment. What gave Zhou Ze the greatest headache was.., he had yet to experience this “Feast”.., and the owner came knocking on his door. Of course, when it came to guilt, there really wasn’t any. Boss Zhou didn’t feel guilty for stealing someone else’s things, those people set up that small enchantment to attract the souls of the dead nearby and used them as fodder to feed the spider lilies. They tortured the souls of the dead who could have gone to the netherworld to be reincarnated, cutting off the chance of rebirth. This was a very devious thing. Zhou Ze did not boast that he was “Carrying out justice on behalf of the heavens”, which was already considered an understatement. How could he feel guilty because of this? “Where are my flowers?” The old woman walked to Zhou Ze while trembling. She reached out and grabbed Zhou Ze’s shoulder. There was a kind of despair and madness in her sunken eyes. She shook Zhou Ze’s body desperately and shouted loudly. Boss Zhou had just woken up from his coma and his body was still weak. This old woman looked weak, but she really had the strength to shake boss Zhou until he almost suffocated. “Let Go!” Bai Yingying immediately reached out and lifted the old woman. The old woman fell backward and fell to the ground, unconscious. “…”Bai Yingying. “…”Zhou Ze. “Boss, is this a scam?”Bai Yingying asked. Zhou ze also frowned and thought about it. It shouldn’t be. Back then, he and the Little Loli had thought about the person who had set up the barrier to raise the resurrection Lily, whether it was a living or dead person, in the world of the living or in hell.., he should at least be a respectable person, right? Ordinary people were not qualified or capable to do so much. But this old woman who came to collect the debt was too weak, right? Bai Yingying pushed him, and he fainted? Trying to extort money? Boss Zhou did not mind spending some ghost notes or RMB to feed the other party and send him away. Compared to the chain of trouble that this matter might cause, Zhou Ze felt that spending money to eliminate the disaster was entirely desirable. After all.., after realizing that his biggest reliance in the past had become the biggest barrel of gunpowder, Zhou Ze’s mentality had also undergone some changes. In the past, it was Teddy Zhou who thought that he could be as awesome as the sun, the Earth, the Sun, and the sky, now, it was salted Fish Zhou. On the road, there were quite a number of pedestrians looking over, but no one had deliberately walked over to take a look. Everyone did not want to cause trouble. At most, when they passed by, they would walk a little slower, wondering if there would be any excitement to see. This was like a “Pure”man. No matter his age or age, when he passed by the door of a small shampoo room on the street, he would always pretend to look casually at the color of the silk stockings the young lady was wearing today. Therefore, boss Zhou didn’t feel that there was anything wrong with his current mentality and attitude toward life. He opened his eyes to take a look, the streets were full of noise and noise, people came and went, they were all salted fish. … .. “MMM MMM MMM… delicious, delicious! ! ! !” “Delicious… it tastes so good! ! ! ! !” At the dining table, zhou ze leaned against the chair and sat there. Xu Qinglang watched from the side as the dishes were stir-fried and served again. The old woman ate alone like a wolf. It was as if she had just been released from prison in ancient times, especially the extremely greasy elbow in her left hand, she ate until her mouth was full of oil. It was a hard dish that Xu Qinglang had specially prepared for Zhou ze to “Feast”tonight. The old man accompanied her to drink and poured wine for the old woman. The old woman clinked glasses with the old man from time to time and downed the wine in one gulp. Of course.., although they looked about the same age, the old man did not like his peers. He preferred the pitiful women in their forties in the hair salon. Yes, they began to age and age. According to the old Lecher Bai Juyi, they were those women who were “Neglected in front of the door”. But if you patronized her and cared for her, she would be more grateful and serve you better, unlike those young people who had good business and a lot of motorcycles. But the old Taoist also felt that the old woman was quite friendly. Otherwise, he could not let Bai Yingying accompany her, right? Although Bai Yingying seemed to be quite old. The old woman kept eating and eating non-stop, as if she was a reincarnated hungry ghost. The ingredients that Xu Qinglang had bought for Zhou Ze’s feast that night had basically all entered the old woman’s stomach. At this time, Zhou Ze naturally wouldn’t look for trouble to take out the oral liquid made from the Resurrection Lily and eat it in a show-off manner. “Phew…” I’m full. The old lady patted her round belly, her face was full of satisfaction. Then she looked at Xu Qinglang and gave him a thumbs up: “Miss, you’re really good at cooking.” “…”Xu Qinglang. Old Xu suddenly felt that there wasn’t any arsenic in his food. It was a little incomplete. “Hehe, sister, he’s a man. hahahahaha.” The old priest laughed as he explained, “Sister, you don’t know. The first time I saw him, I almost had a heart attack.” “TSK TSK, he’s a man?”The old woman looked at Xu Qinglang carefully again and nodded, she said, “He’s really a handsome young man. It’s a pity. If it was back in Qianqing, who knows how many people would have been charmed by you acting as a young man on stage like this? The fence is filled with your charms.” The old woman opened her mouth and said, “Qing dynasty.” This B block and reminiscence were really far-reaching. This made the old priest beside him not know how to respond. We might look the same age, but I was only born in the year before liberation. At that time, I was also eight feet away from you. “It’s just that this oil was used a little too heavily. I think it’s because I made too many big pots of rice in the past. The flowing water table has been served for a long time, so it naturally lacks that bit of delicacy. “The taste is excellent, but the dishes in this world are much more delicious. Regardless of whether you have different tastes, to be honest, no matter how delicious it is, can it really swallow a person’s tongue? “It’s nothing more than having different thoughts when it comes to delicacy. Do you understand?” When Xu Qinglang heard this, he was slightly stunned. Then, he nodded and said, “I’ve been taught a lesson.” The old woman blew out a breath and said somewhat dispiritedly, “Forget it, forget it. No matter what, this meal is considered pretty good. You Can Do your best. Study hard in the future and strive to reach a higher level. During the pre-qing period, it seems that you won’t be able to eat the cooking skills of the chefs in the imperial residence in the future.” “Mm.”Xu Qinglang nodded. “When your culinary skills take another step forward, I reckon that you should be dead by then. When the time comes, come down to the ground and cook specially for me.” “…”Xu Qinglang. Xu Qinglang’s negative emotions + 999 Zhou Ze’s gaze focused, the main event, has It arrived? When it came to hell.., when it came to the Resurrection Lily.., it meant that the identities of both parties had already been torn apart. There was no need to hide in the fog anymore. However, Xu Qinglang did not know whether to laugh or cry. Was this a compliment? Was this a reward? “Why are you looking so sad? With your half bucket level of Mystic Arts, you can forget about changing your fate for the rest of your life. You Won’t be able to escape from life, old age, sickness, and death. Besides.., following a small yin bailiff.., is it better than following an old woman like me?” As she said this.., the old woman even pointed at Zhou ze rudely, looking very disdainful. However, the aura that she gave off at this moment didn’t seem like she was faking it. Ordinary people didn’t have that kind of experience, didn’t have that kind of temperament, and also couldn’t fake this kind of feeling. “Sister… Oh, no, sister, you’re a big shot in the lower ranks, right? “Hey, I’ve long seen that you’re not an ordinary person. From the looks of it, you’re a Bannerman? “To tell you the truth, my ancestors were also bannermen, from the Nuoqulu Family!” The old Daoist immediately offered his flattery. Your Loyal Old Daoist was online. When one was old, all they cared about was their own funeral. However, the old Daoist had no children, so he didn’t have to worry about his descendants. Now that he had a chance to care about his future after he died, this was a great opportunity. “Oh?” The old woman narrowed her drunk eyes and looked at the old Daoist. At the same time, she stretched out her hand and patted the old Daoist’s face, “Are you really a Bannerman?” “Yes, yes.” “But when the old woman was in the Qing dynasty, she was a member of the alliance. During that meal at the royal residence, she also killed her way into a royal lord’s house to freeload.” “…”the old Daoist. Zhou ze reached out and lightly knocked on the table. “Let’s get down to business.” After eating and drinking his fill, it was time for you to get down to business. “Heh, let’s get down to business?”The old woman stretched lazily. “The Resurrection Lily is with you?” “Sort of.” If it was a blessing, it was not a curse. If it was a curse, it could not be avoided, so boss Zhou decided to toughen up. “Do you know who I am?”The old woman pointed at her face and asked. “I don’t know.”Zhou ze shook his head. At first, Zhou Ze guessed that the other party might be Meng Po, but since the other party was from the end of the Qing dynasty, it should not be Meng Po. Moreover, it was unlikely for someone as important as Meng Po to come to the world of the living. “Hehe, so I don’t know what gave you the courage.”The old woman stood up and put her hand on Zhou Ze’s chest. “Old Woman, I want to see where your courage and reliance came from.” The greasy hand that took the elbow caressed her chest. Boss Zhou, who was obsessed with cleanliness, felt very uncomfortable and tormented. He couldn’t help but reach out to open the other party’s hand. “Oh, I see. I didn’t expect that this Little Tong city was really full of hidden dragons and Crouching Tigers. “A little devil from the underworld actually has a background.” The old woman took another sip of rice wine and laughed so hard that her yellow front teeth were exposed, “But do you know that you are just the intelligence that happened to be born during this period of time when you were unconscious in your body? In other words, you are nothing at all. What are you so proud of? After a person dies, he becomes a zombie, which is also a new life from death to life, what about you? You Can’t even be considered as that. At most, you are the guard dog that was tied to the door when the owner left home, when the owner comes back, i will kill the dog and stew the soup.”
