Zhou Ze's feet began to kick outwards, intending to get out. However, there was a clicking sound from outside. This meant that the lock outside the ice coffin had been buckled.
It was locked and could not get out.
For a moment, Zhou Ze felt as if he had returned to the scene when he was placed in the cramped coffin.
However, this time, Zhou Ze was not manic or angry. He only reached out and knocked on the metal plate on his head.
"What's the matter?"
Zhou Ze did not think that someone had come here to help him push the ice coffin and lock it, unless that person was a lunatic. Zhou Ze did not think that his luck would be that bad.
Moreover.
After he entered the mortuary, he closed the door. A lunatic who knew the password to the mortuary door?
Would you believe it?
Therefore, Zhou Ze could only think that something had "Helped" him, and it had helped him very thoroughly.
However, after this question, there was still no sound outside.
Zhou Ze decided to ignore it. He closed his eyes again and prepared to have a good sleep.
This time, he fell asleep very quickly.
After all, he had not slept for two days, and there were many things that had happened in the past two days. The accumulated fatigue was also extremely terrifying.
Even if the flood surged after my death,
No one could stop me from sleeping now.
..
After sleeping for an unknown period of time, when Zhou Ze opened his eyes, he felt refreshed. The long-lost spirit had returned. It was a pity that his body was also frozen. Otherwise, the place below might have been able to raise a flagpole.
The stiffness of his body was a little scary. Zhou Ze tried his best to wiggle his body a few times in the narrow space. A series of crisp sounds came, and it was so comfortable that it made people subconsciously make a sound.
Zhou Ze's ten fingernails naturally grew long and black, shining with a strange luster. The stiffness of his body and the cold that was unbearable for ordinary people were slowly gathering at the tips of his ten fingers.
The whole process did not last long, but Zhou Ze no longer felt cold and uncomfortable.
He subconsciously kicked the coffin with his foot again, and the ice coffin naturally slid out.
Locked.
Unlocked?
Zhou Ze was a little surprised. He sat up from the steel plate, walked down, and then pushed it back.
The clothes on his body were a little stiff, like cardboard hanging on his body, giving people an extremely uncomfortable feeling, while Zhou Ze's gaze was wandering around.
The morgue of the affiliated hospital was not big. Compared to the big hospitals in big cities, it was even a little small. However, there were still a lot of corpses stored in it.
Zhou Ze did not know who had helped him push it in. It was indeed a little difficult to find it now.
Fortunately, since the other party had unlocked the lock while he was asleep, Zhou Ze did not plan to cause any more trouble here.
He headed for the entrance of the morgue, intending to leave. However, he halted when he passed the beds covered in white cloth.
The corpses that were covered with white cloth did not look strange.
Even the old lady, who was wrapped in a quilt, didn't seem to have changed.
However, Zhou Ze still stopped in his tracks.
Because he remembered that the position of the old lady's head and feet had been reversed.
It couldn't have been that the mortuary manager came in while she was sleeping and knocked the old lady over.
Zhou Ze stood beside the old lady and said,
"If it's you, I'll leave if you don't come out at this time."
The old lady might have had evil intentions when she pushed him in and locked it. However, she had quietly unlocked it for him, which meant that she did not want to harm him.
Perhaps someone had come over immediately and seen a hidden cabinet with an open lock. They might have discovered him.
After all, it was very obvious from the outside that these hidden cabinets were not locked.
After waiting for half a minute, there was nothing unusual. Zhou Ze did not plan to wait any longer.
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he heard a sigh behind him.
Zhou Ze hated this feeling.
She was bashful.
She wanted to reject and welcome.
She was an old woman when she died, but she had to act like a little girl.
Alright, age discrimination was indeed wrong, but normal people would always have a slightly higher tolerance for beautiful female ghosts. This was also human nature.
If Nie Xiaoqian had a face full of wrinkles and yellow teeth, do you think Ning Caichen would still have a human-ghost relationship with her?
Zhou Ze turned around and looked behind him.
An old woman with silver hair was squatting there, wiping her tears with a white handkerchief in her hand.
However, ghosts did not have tears, so from Zhou Ze's point of view, the old woman looked more like she was crying.
"Continue crying, I won't disturb you anymore."
Zhou Ze was about to leave.
He realized that he was still an ordinary person. Even when he was looking at ghosts, he was still a little obsessed with appearance.
"Help me, I have money," the old woman suddenly said.
"Mm," Zhou Ze replied. He was short of money.
The damn Xu Le's Alipay and WeChat accounts added up to less than two hundred yuan. Together with the one thousand and one hundred yuan that the 'murderer' had sent back, Zhou Ze's total assets were less than one thousand and three hundred yuan.
Zhou Ze's house and savings from his previous life should have been donated to the orphanage. He was basically alone.
"My money is in the interlayer of my cabinet. It's an old, yellow-painted cabinet. There's thirty thousand yuan in it. There's also my dowry, jade hairpins and jade bracelets. I don't know how much they're worth.
I died in a hurry, so I didn't have time to tell my sons. I'm afraid they don't know. "
Zhou Ze nodded, "I'll take part of it."
The old woman seemed to be struggling, but she still nodded and said, "Of course."
The old woman clearly knew that without Zhou Ze's message, her sons might not have been able to find the assets she had left behind.
… …
After leaving the hospital, Zhou Ze hailed a cab and went to a place called Xin Dong Town in Tongzhou District. It was not too far away. Tongcheng's airport was located in the town.
Previously, when he was in the hospital, Zhou Ze had gone to the registration office to inquire. The old woman had died after being sent to the hospital. Then, her family had left the dead person in the hospital. They still owed the hospital a sum of medical expenses that had not been paid.
Around half an hour later, Zhou Ze arrived at the town. He found the village according to the old woman's description.
It was a two-story house that the family had built. There was a small brick hut that looked like a rural latrine.
When Zhou Ze arrived, he saw a few workers demolishing the house. They were obviously demolishing the brick house.
Zhou Ze went over and gave a cigarette to one of the workers. He asked, "It's almost New Year, why are you still so busy?"
"It's almost New Year, so I can earn more money. We're from the same village, anyway," the worker was quite carefree.
"What's going on with this house?"
Zhou Ze asked as he looked into the house. Two workers were already tearing down the roof. The bricks on the walls of the house would be taken down to be used in the future. There was not even a stool in the house, let alone the yellow cabinet that the old woman had mentioned. It was completely empty.
"His mother is dead. She used to live in this house alone. She's planning to demolish the house and build a new kitchen."
The worker moved his head closer and asked Zhou Ze to light the cigarette for him. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Look, the one who just walked past the house is their eldest brother."
Zhou Ze looked over and saw the man with white hair and bruises on his face.
"The five brothers started fighting over the money I left behind. Later on, when the bricks are removed, the other four will have to come and get a share.
Look at this world, it's different now. Their mothers are still in the hospital, and none of them are willing to pay for the medical fees they owe. "
"What about the things in the old woman's house?"
Zhou Ze was more concerned about that. According to the old woman's description, the thirty thousand yuan in the cabinet was the old woman's life savings. However, the jade bracelet and the jade hairpin were the most valuable things. It shouldn't be a problem to sell them for a few hundred thousand yuan. "
"They were sold to the trash collector. They were sold when the old woman was hospitalized." The worker took another puff of his cigarette. "I'm going back to work."
Zhou Ze licked his lips, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. He had come all the way here for nothing.
Not only did he not get a share of the things left behind by the old woman, even her son did not have the fortune to enjoy them. He could only sell them to a dealer who collected old furniture.
Zhou Ze was a little depressed now. Not having money was really a big problem. He did not want to use his own ability to scam money. Although it seemed very simple and satisfying, he had saved a girl last time and almost died of pain last night. God knew what would happen if he continued to mess around.
Zhou Ze was not sure if there were gods three feet above his head,
But if he kept digging down, there must be hell, because he had been there before.
He knew that he was not human, and this was the human world. Moreover, the patient who had died in front of him previously, how he had cried out in fear, "I've been discovered", was still fresh in Zhou Ze's memory.
But..,
Money..,
Zhou Ze wanted to push the millstone..,
But who would give him the money?
Zhou Ze needed money now, not to mention getting rid of his status as a "Son-In-Law"..,
He had to at least buy himself a freezer or a big refrigerator, right?
Otherwise, he would have to go to the hospital morgue every day to get air conditioning?
He lit a cigarette gloomily and took a deep puff. He felt very annoyed.
At this moment, the phone in his pocket rang. Zhou Ze picked up the phone. It was an unfamiliar number. He picked up the phone:
"Hello." Zhou Ze.
"Big Brother, the goods have arrived safely. When are you coming to inspect them? Recently, the police have been very strict. It's not easy for this batch of goods to come in," the person on the other end of the phone said carefully in a low voice.
Zhou Ze slowly opened his mouth,
There was no sound,
At the same time..,
