Chapter 47 The Boy in Blue
"Do you know what the taboos are about fishing for corpses?"
Although he didn't know why he mentioned this, the little old man was still very interested and asked: "What is the taboo?"
The young man lowered his voice and said, "The biggest taboo is that the corpse cannot see the face of the person who retrieved it."
"Oh...then what if the corpse sees its face?"
Zhima replied: "There was one time when our father was in a hurry to go ashore and accidentally turned the corpse around... The corpse looked pale, with two dark eyes staring at him, and his face was covered with water plants...
…The description is very weird!”
"What happened next?" Li Zheng asked.
Zhou Xiaodu stood aside and slowly crossed his hands in front of his chest: Good guy, "our father" has a role to play.
"Our father was shocked at the time, but he still didn't believe in evil. However, after returning home, he began to have a fever and fell into a coma. He dreamed that the corpse stood up and followed him back home. He screamed
He scolded the corpse and asked it to leave, but the corpse refused and called him daddy. He turned to his wife and shouted: Mother..."
The little old man's eyes widened and he turned to look at Zhou Xiaodu.
Zhou Xiaodu smiled at him and he trembled.
Zhima continued to make nonsense seriously, "After some time, his wife's belly got bigger and bigger, and soon she gave birth to a little boy.
"The child was able to speak when he was born. He would call 'daddy' and 'mother' when he opened his mouth. He also said that he hated the water and that there were bad guys in the water who wanted to bully him. He said that every time his father went ashore, there were many people following him.
Everyone followed me to the house and wanted to continue bullying me..."
Li Zheng felt a chill coming up from the soles of his feet, and said with a trembling voice: "Those people can't be..."
Zhima nodded and continued: "Later, our father changed his profession to selling sesame cakes!"
The little old man looked at Zhou Xiaodu, "Is it true?"
This kid can make his nonsense come true. Zhou Xiaodu nodded with a smile on his face.
Li Zheng asked again: "Then, do you still remember what happened in your previous life?"
Zhou Xiaodu was a little impatient and said: "I can't remember clearly...Li Zheng, we also want to apply for another 'transmission'."
Li Zheng took the ultimatum and signed it, "It will be approved in a few days. Just come and pick it up."
He asked again, "What do those things look like? Are they the same as living people?"
Zhou Xiaodu sighed, "Same, exactly the same."
Li Zheng let out a regretful "Oh" and let the two of them leave without saying anything. Just as he was smacking his lips, he heard Zhou Xiaodu coming to the door and saying, "We've finished our work. Please wait in line."
Li Zheng raised his head and looked at the empty yard, shocked.
Who is he talking to?! Where is the person around?!
After Zhou Xiaodu finished speaking, he pulled Zhima and left in a hurry.
Zhima said: "Why are you teasing people like this?"
Zhou Xiaodu curled his lips, "Who told that old man to steal my money...Besides, weren't you the one who started it? You brat, you've learned so badly!"
He couldn't help laughing and said: "But when we first met, you really looked like a water ghost who had just climbed ashore!"
At that time, Zhou Xiaodu was soaked by the rain, his whole body was wet, his hair was stuck to his face like waterweed, his face was pale, and his eyes were very cold, like a lifeless puppet, which was strange.
Zhou Xiaodu glanced at him, "You dirty and smelly beggar, where do you have the shame to laugh at me?"
"Haha, that's right. Our eldest brother doesn't laugh at our second brother!" He patted Zhou Xiaodu on the shoulder and received another blow.
Jiezi just wanted to come out to play today, so they brought him out. Before going to work, they put Jiezi nearby and let him play by himself. This little thing is very smart and will not run around.
Zhou Xiaodu saw from a distance that his dog was jumping around a fat dog under a big tree. It seemed to want to play with the big dog, but the fat dog was focused on lying down and resting.
, too lazy to take care of the potion, looking tired.
As if he was annoyed, the fat dog raised his paw and patted Jiezi's little head gently.
Seeing this, Zhou Xiaodu strode forward, took his puppy into his arms, and cursed in a low voice: "You worthless thing, don't you see that people don't want to talk to you? You have a dirty, bitter face.
, you are still rushing to post, can you be more reserved?"
After saying that, she rolled her eyes at the fat dog, hugged the pill and was about to leave.
Zhima smiled helplessly, "How come you, a big man like you, are still angry with a dog?"
Zhou Xiaodu glared at him, "It's not like you don't know about my petty nature."
Then he looked at the little silly dog in his hand and muttered: "It is said that things resemble their masters. This unlucky thing has an invisible appearance. He probably learned it from you. It's exactly the same..."
Zhima had long been accustomed to her temper of choking when she disagreed, so he was not annoyed and said: "This kind of fat dog is born with a bitter and hateful face, and has a relatively independent temperament, but in fact it is gentle and loyal.
Dogs are quite lovable.”
He didn't think the fat dog was dirty either, so he knelt down and stroked the dog's hair gently. The fat dog didn't resist, but purred comfortably, which showed that it was indeed a gentle dog.
Zhou Xiaodu frowned and said, "Why are you touching it? You don't want to raise it, do you? We already have medicine, and I won't allow you to raise such a big dog again!"
"I just touched it. It's furry and round. It's so cute."
Zhou Xiaodu made a serious face, "If you don't want to raise it, don't touch it."
The young man sighed and raised his hands in compromise, "Okay."
He was about to bid farewell to the chubby dog when he suddenly noticed that the fat dog had a small sign hanging on its neck. The small wooden sign was well made and had an upright "An" carved on it.
Zhima looked at it and said, "Hmm...it doesn't seem to be a stray dog. It should be someone's lost pet."
Zhou Xiaodu held the potion in his arms and said casually, "Maybe the owner didn't want to keep it anymore and threw it away."
Zhima said: "An owner who puts a beautiful sign on his pet shouldn't give up on it easily, right?"
"That's because you haven't seen much." Zhou Xiaodu sneered.
"I want to take it back, and then ask around if anyone has lost a fat dog, okay?" He looked at Zhou Xiaodu somewhat flatteringly, his eyes as bright as glass.
Zhou Xiaodu smiled contemptuously and said, "It's up to you. After all, we have to leave after the approval is obtained. If this dog doesn't find its owner, you can throw it away again with your own hands."
Zhima inquired around here for two days, but no one came to claim the fat dog, so he simply drew some portraits of the dog and went to a farther place to post them.
Zhou Xiaodu didn't want to accompany him to the post, so he stayed in the cabin and stared at the fat dog with a bitter melon face. Jie Zi ran back and forth between her and the fat dog, enjoying it endlessly.
.
In the evening, the young man came back alone from the street, covered with sunset glow.
Zhou Xiaodu held his chin up to watch him enter the door, and sarcastically said: "I told you that no one wants this dog, but you still don't believe it... In this world, human life is like a piece of grass, let alone an animal?"
Zhima went to feed the dog depressedly without replying.
Zhou Xiaodu said again: "You can throw it away for me tomorrow. I look at its stinky face and feel bad luck."
Zhima asked in confusion: "Don't you like dogs very much? Why do you have such a big opinion about it?"
Zhou Xiaodu said disgustedly: "I don't like things that make a bad look at me... Look at the way it looks like it can't even kick out a fart."
Zhima couldn't help but tease: "Don't you also make a bad face all day long? I think you two are quite similar."
Zhou Xiaodu spread his hands and leaned back on his chair, "Then you can have your opinion on me! I didn't say no!"
"Thanks to your good martial arts skills, otherwise you will be beaten to death sooner or later just based on your words." Sesame laughed angrily.
The next day, just when Zhima was about to go out and ask if there was anyone willing to take in the dog, a man came to visit with the registration papers.
He was a young man about the same age as Zhima, dressed in indigo and vertical brown, with eyebrows like distant mountains and clear eyes. Although his clothes were simple, he had an extraordinary demeanor, a solemn look, and a cheerful and clear manner.
When the fat, sickly dog saw the young man, he immediately barked and came forward happily, wagging his tail and begging for caresses.
The young man in blue squatted down and touched it, and said with a mixture of joy and resentment: "An'an, where did you go? Make it easy for us to find you!"
Zhou Xiaodu stood aside with his hands on his chest, "Is this your dog? Take it back quickly!"
The young man in blue raised his head and explained: "This is not my dog. This is the dog raised by the Bai family in the west of the city. Its name is An'an. Thank you both for helping to find it. My name is Zhong Yuqing. I used to work as a long-term employee in the Bai family.
, An An is familiar with me, so he recognizes me."
Zhou Xiaodu was just about to say, "Whatever the hell with the Bai family and the Hei family, take it away quickly" when he heard the system prompt.
"Host, please note that a new mission has been released, please check it. Main mission three: Protect Zhong Yuqing and provide assistance for the son of luck to explore the Sheng family. Mission reward: "Secret of Immortality". Prize effectiveness: Those who do not lose their place will last a long time.
