Chapter 41 The most embarrassing
Xu Qinglang and the female corpse came out, including the middle-aged couple. The middle-aged couple's faces were beaming with joy. Apparently, with the help of the female corpse, they had snatched the first fragrance.
Regardless of whether it works or not, it is always a good sign.
Even parents who are not superstitious will give their children a rice dumpling with a rice cake before the big exam, which means "cake rice dumpling" (high school).
The face of the female corpse was not very pretty. When everyone walked back together, she lagged behind alone.
"Let's go have a late-night snack. How about a barbecue?" Xu Qinglang suggested.
He opens his own restaurant, but he won't let himself prepare a barbecue late at night;
Madam Xu’s skin is so precious, how could she accept being so smoky?
However, Xu Qinglang regretted the proposal after he made it.
In this group of people,
There is a zombie, and a living dead who does not eat fireworks from this world.
Thinking about the scene during the meal, these two people just sat there motionless, like clay statues in the temple enjoying the fireworks.
This picture makes me lose my appetite just thinking about it.
"You go ahead, let's go back first." Zhou Ze said.
"Why are you so embarrassed?" the middle-aged man said.
"It's okay, uncle, let's go eat, and the couple will take a walk by themselves."
Xu Qinglang took the middle-aged couple away.
Zhou Ze was not in a hurry to take a taxi, and walked with the female corpse along a small road with not many people.
The weather is starting to get warmer, and the nights are not as cold as before.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Ze asked the female corpse.
The female corpse had been depressed since she walked out of the Confucian Temple.
"Uncomfortable." The female corpse replied.
"Not menopausal yet?"
It's been two hundred years.
"..." Female corpse.
After a moment of silence, the female corpse said: "There are several statues in the Confucian Temple staring at me, it feels weird."
"Do you think they are looking at you?" Zhou Ze asked.
"Yeah." The female corpse nodded.
"You think they resent you?"
"Yeah." The female corpse continued to nod.
"Do you think because you are a zombie, you shouldn't have gone to that place?"
"Yeah." The female corpse nodded.
"The sage believes that there is no distinction between education and distinction." Zhou Ze smiled, reached out and patted the female corpse on the head, and said: "You are a zombie, a kind of existence that people hate and ghosts hate, but you go to the Confucian Temple to help people
Those who offer incense also contribute to their popularity.
you feel like they are looking at you,
Maybe they are paying attention to you because of your specialness.
It's like a husky suddenly wandering into a group of coyotes. Anyone would take a second look, right?
Of course, it's also possible that they are just a pile of mud, and their eyes are said to be made out of balls of donkey shit because they look more lively and shiny.
Everything is just psychological pressure you put on yourself."
"But what if they are really looking at me, if they really have a problem with me..." The female corpse was still hesitant.
"Then they are not worthy of being enshrined in the temple as saints!"
Zhou Ze spoke loudly,
"A saint has been worshiped and worshiped for thousands of years. If he doesn't even have this kind of courage, how can he have the nerve to sit on the altar in the temple?
A fake saint, what’s there to be afraid of?”
The female corpse looked at Zhou Ze with a smile on her lips and said, "Boss, what you just said was really domineering."
"That's right." Zhou Ze enjoyed the flattery of his maid.
"But boss, you are a ghost. There is a certain destiny. For ordinary people, the implication may not be big, but for you, it is different.
In addition, you run a bookstore and belong to a profession blessed by the saint's luck. It's really not good for you to slander the saint like this."
It was rare for a female corpse to say these words from the bottom of her heart to Zhou Ze. In the past, she would have wished for Zhou Ze to commit suicide;
Dance, dance, dance yourself to death, and I will collect your body just in time. Then I will take off your nails and grind them into powder to make tea with pearl powder.
Oh no, feed the pigs!
"As the saying goes, if you don't do anything bad, don't be afraid of ghosts... The saint knocks on the door."
Zhou Ze looked up at the street lights and continued:
"In my previous life, I treated illnesses and saved lives without accepting any red envelopes or losing any bottom line. I have always adhered to medical ethics.
Even if he became a ghost in this life, he would never do anything untoward after resurrecting his corpse.
What’s there to be afraid of?”
Zhou Ze took a deep breath and repeated, "There is nothing to be afraid of."
When the female corpse heard this, she looked thoughtful.
Zhou Ze's words were not a declaration from the second grade, but more like a warning to himself.
The two continued to walk forward aimlessly. The evening breeze was slightly cool, but very pleasant.
Finally, the female corpse stopped and asked: "Boss, where are you going?"
Zhou Ze stopped and looked around subconsciously. He was shocked to find that he had walked into the door of a residential complex.
familiar environment,
Familiar communication room,
In the familiar reception room, the doorman sleeps at night and misses work,
Familiar express delivery and receipt locker.
He was actually walking like this,
Naturally, I walked back to the neighborhood where I lived before.
Although he has been in the bookstore for a month, subconsciously, this is his home.
Having grown up in an orphanage, he understands the meaning of home better, and at the same time, he is more dedicated to the house.
Fortunately, when he bought a house, the house prices in Tongcheng had not risen to the ridiculous level later. This was also because he couldn't wait to prepare to be a house slave after joining the work. Instead, he picked up a watermelon, which made his colleagues who bought houses later envied him.
.
However, Zhou Ze can no longer even retrieve his previous WeChat and QQ, and there is no way to verify it with his mobile phone. If you ask friends on the list to help you verify it, you will either be treated as a lunatic or scare others to death.
Even his own house was sold by the hospital after his death, and the money was donated to the orphanage in his own name.
Zhou Ze doesn't dislike this approach, after all, he has no other relatives alive.
"This is my old home." Zhou Ze said to the female corpse.
"Then, go up and have a look?" the female corpse suggested.
"It has been sold." Zhou Ze sighed.
“It’s like revisiting the old place.”
Zhou Ze nodded and walked over.
Entered Unit 2 of Building 8, got on the elevator, and reached the fifth floor.
Zhou Ze walked to a door. It was the same door. The buyer probably didn't have time to renovate it, right?
Even the mat at the door has not changed.
And the cactus placed at the door is also there.
Zhou Ze reached out, felt under the jar, and found a key.
At that time, he was often called to the hospital for emergency treatment at night, and he often forgot to bring his mobile phone or keys. Therefore, his spare key was kept here to save him from being unable to enter the house.
With the mentality of giving it a try, I inserted the key and twisted it.
"Click..."
The door lock is unlocked.
The door has not been replaced,
Haven't the locks been changed?
Zhou Ze was a little surprised, opened the door and turned on the light.
The furnishings in the living room remain as usual.
Zhou Ze even saw his slippers, changed into slippers and walked in, followed by the female corpse.
"Boss, is it still the same as before?" the female corpse asked.
"Well, this is also the weirdest thing for me."
Indeed, it is still the same as before,
But this is not common sense.
After ordinary people buy a house, shouldn't they throw away all the things used by the deceased?
How could it be possible to keep them all this time and save them all without being unlucky?
Maybe, maybe the person who took over his house is just using it for investment? He doesn’t really live in it?
Zhou Ze sat down on the sofa, as if at this moment, he had become himself again.
Every time I come home tired, I watch TV and cook some late-night snacks. My life is compact but fulfilling.
The female corpse went to boil tea, poured a cup for Zhou Ze, and then said:
"Boss, have you been dead for more than half a year?"
"Seven months."
Zhou Ze replied, but why do you feel that this conversation is a bit strange?
"But this place is so clean, it doesn't look like no one has lived here for seven months." The female corpse reminded.
Zhou Ze nodded, it is true, this place is very clean, someone should be cleaning it regularly.
But it’s hard for Zhou Ze to imagine that people who buy their own houses are so lazy that they don’t throw away anything or replace anything, even keeping the door lock.
Zhou Ze pushed open the bedroom door and found that even his bedding and sheets were the ones he used before.
"Boss, let me go take a shower. I was stared at by those old guys for so long in the Confucian Temple, and I got goosebumps all over my body."
"Go ahead and turn on the water heater first." Zhou Ze reminded, "The bath towels are in the kitchen cabinet at the door of the bathroom."
if,
If everything is really the same as before.
The female corpse went to take a bath. She loved to be clean. Women love to be clean. She was a lady in her previous life. She lay in a coffin for two hundred years and couldn't take a bath. How uncomfortable it was.
So she basically washed it once in the morning and once in the evening, which wasted a lot of Zhou Ze's water bill.
But when he thought that she worked as a waiter in his store and didn't get paid, Zhou Ze couldn't bear it.
Pulling up the curtains, Zhou Ze stood on the balcony, looking at the bright lights at night in front of him.
here,
It's his home.
it hasn't changed,
But it no longer belongs to me.
Things are different and people are different,
In the true sense, things are different and people are different.
Taking out the cigarette, lighting it, Zhou Ze blew out a smoke ring.
He felt a little disappointed in his heart. He thought he should be able to look away, but in fact he couldn't.
Just as he personally threw the baby into hell to await reincarnation,
He now fully realizes,
As a living person, his nostalgia for the earth is really difficult to describe in words.
Even I have the urge to buy my own house again at this time.
As for money,
With his ability, he really wants to get some money against the rules.
Is it difficult?
This impulse was finally suppressed. Zhou Ze knew that this was a road of no return. It was Pandora's box. Once it was opened, he would definitely not be able to stop it.
Zhou Ze feels that he is a self-disciplined person, but he should not try to test his "human integrity" at any time and when he can avoid it.
"Click..."
Very unexpectedly,
There was the sound of a key entering the lock from the other side of the door.
The master is back?
Zhou Ze turned around and walked back to the living room from the balcony. He was thinking about how to explain to the owner that he was in this house, but he didn't feel too nervous.
To put it bluntly, he is a gangster after all. If he is really caught and taken to the police station for breaking into a house,
Isn’t this treating yourself too badly?
Self-discipline is self-discipline, but there is no need to abuse yourself.
After all, this is his former home.
However, when the door was pushed open,
walked in,
It turned out to be a familiar figure.
Doctor Lin stood at the door, looking at Zhou Ze standing in the living room, with a look of shock and panic on his face, and said:
"You...why are you here?"
Zhou Ze was also speechless for a moment,
Those who bought their own houses,
It's Dr. Lin?
"Listen to my explanation." Lin Wanqiu.
"Listen to my explanation." Zhou Ze.
The two of them said this together,
For Lin Wanqiu, she was very panicked because she felt that Zhou Ze had discovered evidence of her "mental infidelity".
After finding this place, she was his wife, but she bought a house left by another man and kept cleaning it. Because of that man, she refused to live in the same room with him and live as a couple.
Dr. Lin felt that he was in the wrong.
Fortunately, this awkward atmosphere did not last long.
Because something more embarrassing happened,
"Boss, my clothes got wet accidentally."
As the female corpse said this, she walked out wrapped in a bath towel.
Arrived,
in the living room,
Standing next to Zhou Ze and Lin Wanqiu,
Chapter completed!
