Midnight Bookstore Chapter 242 – Threesomes

Boss Zhou had fallen into the water more than once,

especially in waters like a pond;

In h.e.l.l,

in dreams,

all of them,

but this was the first time he had fallen into the water in real life, and it had been by a crazy old man who had struck a bull on the head.

If he had known,

he wouldn't have been so mean,

why did he have to stoop so low to the level of a madman,

to suffer this “Barbaric impact”for no reason..,

moreover, what made Zhou Ze even more shocked was that this old man actually grabbed his shoulders tightly after he fell into the water, and at the same time, his legs tripped over his calves. He was planning to drown at the bottom of the water with Zhou Ze.

There were some villagers on top who started to prepare to go into the water to save people, but Zhou Ze didn't dare to give the villagers the right to choose his own fate. Instead, he directly grew fingernails and poked at the old man's back.

The old man who was still in the grip just now..,

suddenly shivered,

he collapsed.

Zhou ze carried the old man out of the water. Boss Zhou's swimming ability was average, but this wasn't a big river. It was just a small pond. It wouldn't be a big problem to carry an old man who didn't have much weight.

After going ash.o.r.e, Xu Qinglang rushed to Zhou Ze and shouted:

“What happened to you? What Happened?”

“It was crazy Cui who knocked the young man into the pond. This crazy Cui is crazy and swears all day long, and now he is ready to kill people.”

“Call the police. He has no children, so it doesn't matter. But what if someone else is pushed into the pond by him next time?”

“Yes, call the police. It's best to have the mental hospital take him in. He's getting more and more outrageous.”

The little girl knelt beside her grandfather. She looked at the unconscious grandfather wiping his tears and called for him to wake up quickly.

“Send him back. He has a clue.”

Zhou ze said to Xu Qinglang.

Xu Qinglang nodded. Without suspecting him, she walked over and carried the old man.

“I'll send him back first. There's no hurry to call the police. Let's settle the matter in front of US first. Don't panic, everyone.”

With that, Xu Qinglang carried old man Cui out of the crowd.

Zhou Ze and the little girl followed behind.

The little girl was still crying along the way. Zhou Ze felt a little sorry for her. He was the one who made the joke, and it was such a joke. He deserved to be dragged into the water by her grandfather.

“Where is your home?”Zhou ze asked the little girl.

“His home is in the mud house at the intersection ahead. This old man has no children, and he likes to drink too much. There's something wrong with his brain, so his life isn't very good.”

Xu Qinglang was still very familiar with the situation in the village.

Soon, everyone arrived at the location of the mud house.

In the middle of the second, third, and fourth floor houses, there was a mud house that had been standing there for a long time in the last century. It was indeed quite eye-catching.

The door was not closed. Perhaps there was nothing in the house that was worth stealing.

There were three rooms in the mud house. In the middle was the living room. Half of the room was filled with junk such as cans and bottles that the old man had recently collected. The other half was dedicated to the idol. The other end of the altar was clean.

On the left was the bedroom. It was an old-fashioned wooden bed. On the right was the kitchen. It was still using an earthen stove.

Xu Qinglang placed old man Cui on the bed first. Then, he looked at Zhou Ze and said, “Wake him up now?”

There was a sense of distrust in his words.

It was not that he did not trust Zhou Ze. Xu Qinglang did not trust this old man who had been crazy since he was very young. What clues could there be.

This was not some novel that was placed on the bookshelf in a bookstore,

an old man could live in a ring picked up in the wilderness,

the most awesome person in Shaolin temple was the monk who swept the floor in the Scripture Pavilion.

“He has the Yin-yang eye.”

Zhou ze said.

He could tell at a glance that he was a ghost,

other than the yin-yang eye, there was no other explanation.

Moreover, Zhou Ze did not sense any other aura fluctuation from the old man. If the old man was a metaphysician, there was no need for him to directly use his head to push himself into the pond to play the game of mutual destruction.

“Yin-yang Eye?”

Xu Qinglang looked at the old man lying on the bed, still unconscious.

“I really didn't expect it.”

“He can see my ident.i.ty at a glance.”

Zhou Ze walked to the threshold and sat down.

“I'm going out to buy something for dinner,”Xu Qinglang said as she walked out of the house.

Zhou ze waved to the little girl beside him, who appeared a little timid, indicating for her to come over.

The little girl was a little shy. She called out to him a few times before she came over. At the same time, she said apologetically,

“Uncle, my grandfather didn't do it on purpose. He really didn't do it on purpose.”

“Yes, yes, I know. It's uncle's fault. He made too much of a joke.”.

“By the way, do you know what happened in the village recently?”

The little girl nodded.

“Then did your grandfather say what the reason was?”

“Grandfather said, grandfather said…”

The little girl found it difficult to speak. She pinched her fingers as if she was hesitating whether she should say it or not.

“Don't worry, tell uncle. Uncle won't tell anyone.”

“Grandfather said that it was the villagers who were greedy for compensation. For that bit of money, they even gave up their ancestral graves. When the ancestors found out, they were so angry that they stomped their feet.

Grandpa also said..,

“Originally, the location of our village's ancestral graves was very good. This time, they shouldn't have been relocated to our place. It was the village chief and someone above who colluded and forcibly moved this line to this side.

“A few years ago, the western village was demolished. The people of the western village lost a lot of houses and money. Everyone moved into the city. The villagers were so envious that they all wanted to demolish it.”

Zhou ze nodded when he heard that.

The ancestors had their own opinions. Perhaps they did, but the ones who destroyed the village should not be those ancestors who had “Returned souls”.

“What else did your grandfather say?”

“He told me not to run around at night. He said that it was not peaceful recently and that there was something dirty running around the village. I asked grandfather what it was and if it was a fox or a wild dog. Grandfather did not tell me.”

Something Dirty,

running around?

Only coming out at night?

Zhou ze lit a cigarette and slowly pondered in his heart.

What the girl said about the western village should be the village where Old Xu was previously. The eastern village and the western village should have the same surname, and everyone's ancestral graves should also be arranged together. With Old Xu's current wealth, he should be disdainful of coveting this little compensation, the reason why he took on this matter was also because he saw that his own ancestor was also lying inside.

If it was not because of the ghosts..,

could it be that he had become a spiritual being and was acting strangely?

If it was a spiritual being, then everything would make sense. However, dealing with spiritual beings was actually a little more troublesome than dealing with ghosts.

At this moment, the sound of coughing came from the room. The old man had woken up.

Zhou Ze walked to the door of the bedroom and looked at the old man who had already sat up.

The old man glanced at the little girl who was standing next to Zhou ze and immediately scolded, “You d.a.m.ned Brat, if you dare to lay a hand on my granddaughter, I'll..

I'll… I'll…”

After thinking for a long time, old man Cui still couldn't think of any way to further threaten her.

“I came here to solve the problem on someone's behalf. I don't have time to fool around with you. If you keep pestering me, I'll find some connections to send this girl to the Welfare Inst.i.tute. Anyway, you don't look like you can take care of a good child.”

“You… You Dare…”

The old man's arrogance immediately weakened.

The little girl was very smart. She pulled a wooden stool for Zhou Ze to sit down. Zhou ze thanked her and blew out a smoke ring. He pointed at the old man and said,

“Tell me, what's going on? You have Yin-yang eyes, right? You should be able to see things that the villagers can't.”

Old Man Cui's lips quivered and he asked tentatively, “Are you really here to help?”

“I lied to you. Is there any benefit?”

“Okay, let me tell you. This is a sin. This is a sin created by the descendants! This group of people who have forgotten their ancestors, this group…”

“Let's get straight to the point. are those people who caused trouble in the village the souls of our ancestors?”

“No… No.”Old Man Cui shook his head.

“Then why did you scold them?”

“I was just angry. What a good ancestral tomb, what a good feng shui location. My parents, my grandparents, were also buried there. In the end, when they dug them up, everyone's corpses rolled together.

“There's me in You, and there's You in me…”

“No one knows who belongs to whom!”!

“Tell me, if this isn't a sin, then what is it?”

Zhou ze nodded. “Continue. What exactly is it?”

“Have you seen my doorstep?”

“I have. It's very high.”

“Be more specific.”

Zhou Ze stood up and walked to the doorstep of the living room. This doorsill had been there for a long time, just like this old mud house. However, there were two recent signs of friction on the outside.

“That night, he came and knocked open my door, wanting to come in.

“But the threshold was too high,

“He couldn't jump up.”

Zhou ze raised his head and looked at Old Man Cui, who was still sitting on the bed, and said in a low voice,

“Zombie?”

“Cough, cough, cough…”old man Cui coughed. “What else could it be other than zombies?”

“Then why didn't You Say Anything?”

“That day, he was wearing clothes…”old man Cui said with a ferocious expression, “He was wearing the clothes of a local. How would I know who he was pretending to be? It was dark, and I couldn't see his face clearly, so I didn't dare to go outside to take a look.”

“I'm back.”

Xu Qinglang came back with some cooked vegetables and bought a few boxed meals.

“You're awake.”Xu Qinglang glanced at old man Cui.

“Hehe.”Old Man Cui smiled and didn't say anything else. He knew Xu Qinglang. After all, he was a child who grew up in this area. Without the help of others, old man Cui walked slowly to the living room.

Xu Qinglang put the vegetables on the small table and took a few benches.

The boxed lunches were placed on the table, and the cooked vegetables were spread out on the plastic bag,

zhou Ze sat down next to him. He glanced at the small table and asked curiously,

“Why did you only buy three sets of boxed lunch?”

“What do you mean you only bought three sets?

It was just the three of us, so I bought three sets,

could it be that your appet.i.te has improved today?

Then I'll give you a portion of my rice.”
