Of course, sitting in the truck was not very comfortable. There were a lot of curves here, and it was inevitable that they would sway left and right.
The driver stopped at a service station midway and even bought some supper for Zhou Ze and the others.
Zhou Ze held the plastic bag in his hand. He wanted to say something to the driver, but the driver waved his hand and returned to his seat.
He seemed to just want to help the disabled, but he didn't want to hurt their self-esteem too much.
"Heh, I'm really touched. In this day and age, this kind of silly … this kind of kind-hearted person.
There aren't many left. "
Lawyer an took a bread from the convenience bag in Zhou Ze's hand. He tore open the bag and started eating.
Zhou Ze did not have much of an appetite. After taking a ham sausage, he asked Yingying to take the bag down for Old Xu and the black girl to eat. They were injured, so they had to eat something.
Fortunately, this place was not far from Dujiangyan. Zhou Ze and the others planned not to enter Chengdu City directly. They would first stop in Dujiangyan to rest and give everyone some time to catch their breath.
He had left Yunnan in a hurry because of the series of unforeseen events. Now that he was out of Yunnan's territory, he could at least heave a sigh of relief.
Zhou Ze used his teeth to bite open the package of the ham sausage,
He then brought the Ham Sausage to the Flower Fox Ferret on his shoulder.
The Flower Fox Ferret sniffed.
There was no reaction.
"Are you picky about food?"
Zhou Ze smiled.
"You have to learn from your Brother Monkey. He eats everything."
Monkey usually ate whatever the old priest ate in the bookstore. Sometimes, the "grandfather and grandson" could sit together and drink some white wine with peanuts.
Of course, the Flower Fox Ferret didn't know who the legendary Monkey King was, but it didn't dare to say anything in response to Zhou Ze's words. However, it still didn't want to eat the ham sausage. It curled up on Zhou Ze's shoulder like a little submissive, planning to sleep on its side again.
Zhou Ze took a bite of the ham sausage.
He immediately frowned.
It tastes like corn.
He was not used to it.
For a long time, Zhou Ze had always thought that cornflavored ham was anti-human.
The car started driving again. After more than an hour, they arrived at the Dujiangyan area. Zhou Ze and the others said goodbye to the driver here.
Before he left, Zhou Ze placed a stack of RMB and a stack of ghost notes in the driver's compartment.
Although the other party mistook them for the warmth of the handicapped performing arts troupe,
But it was true that he was taken care of.
Moreover, this driver was quite a nice person.
Good people should have good karma.
Everyone checked into a hotel in Dujiangyan. Zhou Ze and Yingying shared a room, while the rest were assigned to their own rooms. Although the tanned girl and Old Xu were weak, they could still take care of themselves.
Originally, Zhou Ze had planned to arrange for lawyer an and the little boy to accompany a patient. However, when he saw lawyer an pitifully grabbing the little boy's hand and looking extremely unwilling,
Zhou Ze thought about it.
The night passed uneventfully.
Everyone finally had a good night's sleep.
When he woke up the next day,
Zhou Ze reached out and pushed open the window in the room.
A gust of fresh air blew against his face.
It made people feel refreshed.
Dujiangyan's environment was indeed good. It was surrounded by mountains, and the scenery was beautiful. It was not as noisy as Chengdu. It was a very livable place.
Instead of going to the hotel for breakfast, Yingying specially went out to buy a lot of soy milk, fried dough sticks, steamed buns and the like and brought them to the room. The rest also gathered together to have a meeting.
The tanned girl had been exhausted before, but after a nap, she had recovered a lot. Her appetite was also very good when she ate.
Xu Qinglang was still a little sick. His face was still a little pale. He was slowly tearing the fried dough sticks in his hand with his fingers and sending them into his mouth bit by bit.
His gaze would occasionally fall on the Flower Fox Ferret on Zhou Ze's shoulder.
It could be said that.
The reason why Old Xu was in such a sorry state was mostly because of this Flower Fox Ferret.
However, since this Flower Fox Ferret had already been subdued by Zhou Ze, Xu Qinglang would not be so bored as to bring up old scores.
Zhou Ze tried to feed the Flower Fox Ferret more, but it still showed an uncooperative attitude.
If Zhou Ze did not know that this coward did not have the courage to go on a hunger strike and commit suicide, he might really think that he was loyal and unyielding.
After eating breakfast,
Xu Qinglang and the tanned girl continued to rest in the hotel. Zhou Ze and lawyer an brought Yingying and the little boy out of the hotel.
It was only half an hour from Dujiangyan to downtown Chengdu by train. It was really not far. Everyone agreed to meet back at night.
Lawyer an and the little boy took a taxi and left.
Zhou Ze was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he strolled around the streets of Dujiangyan with Yingying.
"Boss, aren't we looking for someone?"
Yingying asked in confusion.
"Yes, looking for someone."
Zhou Ze nodded and did not explain further.
He strolled around for the entire morning. Zhou Ze did not stop for a moment. He was more dedicated than a real tourist.
At lunchtime, Zhou Ze stopped at the entrance of a small hot pot restaurant. He looked at the signboard and saw that it said "Old Chengdu Hot Pot". He smiled and walked in.
Yingying naturally followed the boss. After the two of them sat down, a waiter immediately brought the menu. Zhou Ze picked up a pen and drew.
Oh, he wore black gloves on his fingers, so he wouldn't directly pull out his white bone hand to scare people.
As for the other missing arm, Zhou Ze was not interested in getting a prosthetic limb or plastic to support it.
After ordering the dishes,
Zhou Ze drank his tea while waiting for the hot pot to be served.
"Boss, is it really okay for us to do this?"
Lawyer an and the little boy had gone to Chengdu to investigate. He and the boss were just eating and drinking here. It really did not seem to be a good idea.
"It's fine. You should eat too. It's rare for you to go out."
Yingying usually did not need to eat. She only needed to sleep with Zhou Ze to "Eat" her fill, but it was not that she could not eat.
Although the shop was small, the taste of the hot pot was not bad. The ingredients were also very clean. Zhou Ze was quite satisfied with this meal.
After eating, Zhou Ze waved his hand.
The waiter walked over and asked, "Sir, do you want to pay the bill?"
"Call your boss out. I want to see him."
"Okay, wait a moment."
Soon..,
The boss came out,
It was a tall, middle-aged woman wearing an apron. She must have been busy in the kitchen before this.
"Sir, how was the meal? Do you think there's anything you need to improve?"
The female boss walked to Zhou Ze's side and asked warmly.
"I want to have a cup of tea with you."
The female boss's expression changed,
The expressions of the few waiters beside her also turned ugly,
They all thought that a hooligan had come knocking on their door.
Who had not encountered similar things when they opened their doors to do business?
"Sorry, I'm busy here. It's not convenient."
The female boss replied in a neither servile nor overbearing manner.
Zhou Ze reached into his clothes,
At this moment..,
He suddenly felt like he was possessed by the Brocade-clan Guard of the ghost note,
He took out a sign,
He threw it on the dining table.
He asked again,
"Is it convenient?"
..
"Constable, please have some tea. This is the new tea that has just come out."
Zhou Ze took the teacup and nodded slightly. There was a sense of reservation in his reservation.
Previously, he had been promoted to constable in Yunnan, but Zhou Ze did not feel the slightest bit of the feeling of being an official from Mu Chengen. Here, he found the feeling of a subordinate being respectful to a superior.
"Constable, why are you here?"
The female boss recognized his accent. Zhou Ze was not a local. For ghost messengers, their bodies would change, but it was very difficult to change their accent, and they were too lazy to change it.
After all, returning to the mortal world to be a ghost errand boy, although it could be considered a covert job, it was not as serious as it was in a spy drama.
For example, Zhou Ze opened a bookstore on South Street, while this person opened a hot pot restaurant in Dujiangyan.
Everyone was very lively,
The only difference was..,
Zhou Ze's bookstore was operating at a loss,
This..,
Business seems to be going well.
"I'm here to travel."
Zhou Ze said very casually.
"Yes."
The female boss replied. She knew that the other party was unwilling to say.
"Oh, by the way, you're a local, right?
How old are you? "
"Thirty plus five, thirty-five."
Thirty was the lifespan of her previous life, and five was the number of years she had been a ghost messenger.
Zhou Ze roughly calculated in his heart. At that time, she should only be in her teens, but he still held onto some hope and asked,
"How much do you know about the zombie incident at the end of the last century?"
Hearing this question..,
The female boss was stunned.
She actually knew?
This surprised Zhou Ze.
"I know, I know a little."
"What I want is not groundless rumors," Li Yao said coldly.
There were too many versions on the Internet. Everyone brainstormed together, just like writing a ghost story.
Boss Zhou was already a ghost himself, so why would he be bored enough to listen to ghost stories?
"Yes, it's not groundless rumors."
The female boss revealed a bitter smile,
Then, she began to undress herself.
Yingying's gaze froze,
What the hell!
Zhou Ze rubbed his chin with his hand and didn't say anything.
Lawyer An brought the little boy to Chengdu to look for clues. He didn't go because he knew that it would be very difficult to find a veteran ghost messenger in Chengdu.
He didn't think of this last night. He only remembered it the next morning.
Before the blind man from Shanghai left Chengdu, he killed a group of ghost messengers, including the little loli, in his underworld shop. Not to mention the surrounding areas, at least the local forces of the old ghost messengers in Chengdu were basically wiped out.
The woman just took off her coat, then chose a thicker down jacket from her office closet and put it on. She walked to the door,
"Please follow me."
Zhou Ze and Yingying stood up and followed the female boss downstairs to the basement. This should be a small freezer, where the hot pot restaurant stored ingredients.
The female boss opened the freezer door and walked in first. It was very cold inside. The temperature was more than ten degrees below zero, but Zhou Ze felt very comfortable.
In the early years, before he met Yingying, boss Zhou slept in the freezer every day.
The female boss moved a few boxes and took out a key. There was actually a small compartment inside.
It was the size of a square and very hidden.
The female boss opened it,
Then, she pulled it out,
It was similar to the design of a morgue cabinet,
A steel plate bed was pulled out,
There was a frozen person lying on it.
Zhou Ze squatted down beside it,
This was a woman,
She was around thirty years old. Due to the long period of freezing, the corpse looked relatively white.
The female boss reached out and turned the female corpse's neck over,
Zhou Ze's gaze immediately focused,
There were two teeth marks on the neck of the female corpse!
"Who is she?"
Zhou Ze asked.
"It's me."
