Midnight Bookstore Chapter 352 – Daily Life in the Study

Zhou Ze had a dream,

this time,

it was not hell,

but a simple dream,

simple enough,

a little monotonous.

In the dream,

he sat by a small dock made of wooden stakes,

beside him, a few aunties were washing clothes and vegetables,

behind him,

there were many children chasing and playing,

he held a fishing rod,

the bait was thrown into the river,

he sat there quietly with his bamboo hat on.

The weather was clear and the sun was shining brightly, but it was not very sunny. The wind in the valley blew comfortably.

Then,

in the whole dream,

he sat all the time,

fishing,

fishing,

or fishing,

when he woke up from the dream,

he still did not catch a single fish.

After he woke up,

zhou ze heaved a long sigh of relief,

yingying was playing games with her back to him and didn't notice that he had woken up.

She opened her eyes,

she looked at the ceiling.

Yesterday,

he saw the difference between him and that person,

one was the Master of the Netherworld Sea,

and he,

was just a small boat that could capsize at any time in the Netherworld Sea.

And in his dream,

he was actually just sitting there fishing.

He had once heard people say that in his dream, the scene of his previous life might appear.

But Zhou Ze knew that he didn't have a previous life.

Even if he did,

it seemed that from his dream,

his previous life and this life were also quite similar.

He reached out and rubbed his face.

Boss Zhou didn't feel any self-pity, nor did he feel much pity or grievance.

This might have something to do with his experience since he was young.

For an ordinary person, well, for the vast majority of people, his life was just a few steps from childhood, youth, middle age, and old age.

Those powerful people who had past lives and present lives, such as the golden cicada, were, after all, a minority of the minority.

When he was young, in an orphanage,

there was meat to eat,

there was sprite to drink,

it was already a very satisfying thing.

Even in his current state, compared to his previous life, where he worked day and night, eager to seize any possible opportunities to climb up, he was much more relaxed and content.

Living in the present..,

there were many people who could speak,

but not many people really understood.

As he thought about it, Zhou Ze felt a little tired. There had been a lot of things recently, and other things had happened after returning from Changzhou. It had become an extravagant hope to have a solid sleep next to Yingying.

Because of this,

zhou Ze did not call out to Bai Yingying,

instead, he turned his head,

and fell into a deep sleep again.

Bai Yingying was still engrossed in playing the game. She did not notice that her boss had just woken up and fallen asleep.

When the game console indicated that there was not enough power, Yingying tiptoed out of bed, ran quickly to the first floor, took the charger, and ran back.

She knew that she could not leave for too long, otherwise her boss would wake up naturally.

After plugging in the Charger, Bai Yingying did not continue playing. Instead, she put the game console on the bedside table, turned sideways, and looked at Zhou Ze, who was sleeping soundly in front of her.

Looking at his eyelashes, looking at his lips, looking at his nose..,

many people would think that there was nothing to see,

perhaps only someone who had truly fallen in love would have such an experience.

The bedroom door was pushed open,

xu Qinglang stood at the door,

he pointed at Zhou Ze,

he was asking Yingying if he was awake.

Yingying shook her head.

Xu Qinglang shrugged and left. Anyway, the soup would be better if it was boiled for a while longer, so he was not in a hurry.

Downstairs,

the death attendant was mopping the floor with a mop. The old priest sat behind the bar counter and played chess with the monkey.

Yes..,

playing chess.

A monkey could actually learn how to play chess.

And from the looks of it, the old priest was in a disadvantageous position.

The Little Loli sat on the sofa, flipping through a comic book in boredom and yawning from time to time.

“If you want to sleep, go up and sleep.”

Xu Qinglang said.

“It's just summer sleepiness. It's no big deal.”

The Little Loli shook her head. He was still used to sleeping at night, even though there was nothing to do in the bookstore, however, she still felt that even if she didn't do anything and just sat there in a daze, it would still be more “Healthy and positive”than sleeping day and night.

Perhaps..,

this was the last thing she could do before she completely assimilated into a salted fish.

Lawyer an had just returned. After sending Zhou Ze back to the bookstore, he went to the prison. For the time being, he only had one business left, which was the evil spirit in Tongcheng prison.

“The boss is really in a good mood. He went to scare people in the middle of the night and made them unable to even meditate.”

Lawyer an complained helplessly.

When evil spirits first came to the human world, sleep and eating were a big problem. Eating could be forced down. As long as one wanted to live, one could not let this body starve to death. Therefore, no matter how disgusting and difficult it was, one could still force it down, at most, one would eat less and suffer from slight malnutrition.

However, there was really no way to sleep. Even if one kept taking sleeping pills, other than paralyzing one's body and making it unable to move on the bed, one's consciousness was still awake.

Also..,

don't think that taking sleeping pills to commit suicide is beautiful,

in fact, taking sleeping pills to commit suicide was also extremely painful,

however, you couldn't wake up at that time,

therefore, in the eyes of the living, those who took a sleeping pill to commit suicide all went quietly,

however, imagine the agonizing torment of not being able to move despite being in extreme pain when the sleeping pill took effect.

“Hey, I heard that you used to be an official.”

The Little Loli looked at lawyer an and asked.

“HMM?”

Lawyer an looked at the Little Loli.

“Can you tell me about it?”

The Little Loli stretched out her hand and patted the sofa beside her. She had her feet up and there was a glass of ice-cold water in front of her. Unfortunately, she was still too young.

Lawyer an was a little lecherous. Of course, this was also a common disease among men. When a disease became common, it would not be considered a disease anymore.

However, lawyer an did not have any feelings towards a little loli at her age. However, with the Little Loli's real age and experience, she would always give people a strong sense of dissonance.

It was like a little girl secretly wiping her mouth with her mother's lipstick, or an aunt wearing a student dress waving at you and shouting, “Oppa, come on!”

It was too dissonant.

“Oh, why are you asking this?”

“I'm curious.”

“Hehe.”

Lawyer an sat down opposite the Little Loli.

“So, what position did you sit in back then?”

“You can guess.”

“Constable?”The Little Loli shook her head. “It should be higher, like a patrol inspector?”

“That's all in the past.”

“I'm very curious, what mistake did you make back then?”

As she spoke,

the Little Loli raised her head,

she looked at the ceiling,

the one upstairs seemed to have made more mistakes, but she hadn't done anything.

“This, I don't want to answer for the time being.”Lawyer an stood up. “Actually, sometimes it's not a good thing to rise higher, because only doing errands is the most carefree time.”

“Carefree?”

“Its synonym is lawless.”

Lawyer an twisted his neck and yawned. “I'm so envious of you. You can sleep at night.”

Lawyer an also wanted to sleep at night, but he was more afraid of death.

It could be imagined that if he sneaked into that guy's room..,

that guy would definitely get out of bed and fight with him.

As he spoke..,

lawyer an stood up,

“Alright, I'm going to meditate. Otherwise, the fatigue in my body won't be alleviated.”

“So, you still want to be reinstated, right?”

The Little Loli asked.

Lawyer an stopped in his tracks and turned around. He looked at the Little Loli as if she was an idiot:

“Isn't that obvious? Didn't you bet on him? 80-20, you bastard!”

At night, Zhou Ze woke up again and went downstairs to take a shower. Although his body was still a little weak, at least he had recovered quite well mentally.

He first drank the spider lilies oral liquid and then drank a few bowls of high-quality soup made by Xu Qinglang. He felt that he could finally hold the soup tightly with his fingers.

The old Taoist opened the door of the shop and took down the sign that said the shop was closed for the night. Then, the old Taoist looked out of the door.

It was late at night,

who knew how many young girls were still alone in the empty room.

Sometimes, the old priest blamed himself. His ability was limited, and the people he could help were limited.

He took out the radio and tuned the station, intending to listen to the late-night program.

The radio station opened, and there was a commercial first:

“Kidney deficiency, sometimes after overwork…”

The evening wind blew gently, taking away the heat of the scorching heat. The noisy south street during the day finally stopped.

The Little Loli went to the second floor. Because Wang Ke had called, she went to the second floor to answer the phone. She did not want outsiders to hear the conversation between father and daughter.

Xu Qinglang sat in the private room. It was the kind of private room that was specially for the departed souls to have their meals on the road. There was a mask on his face and a cup of rice wine that he brewed by himself next to him.

He smelled the faint fragrance of the wine and put on a mask.

The death attendant sat at the door. Because the door was wide open, mosquitoes would fly in from time to time.

Any mosquitoes that came in were devoured by the death attendant with lightning speed. He had a face full of satisfaction.

Lawyer an was naked. He sat cross-legged on the bed in his room on the second floor. He entered a meditative state to relax his muscles and relieve his fatigue.

Opposite him was the still-sleeping old Zhang. Old Zhang had woken up a few times, but he would immediately pass out again after waking up. According to lawyer an, old Zhang's soul was too weak, so he needed more days to adapt to his new body, however, the problem was no longer big.

He estimated that he would be able to wake up completely tomorrow.

Then..,

officer Zhang, who had been carefully protected by boss Zhou,

maybe..

The little monkey sat on the balcony on the second floor,

he looked at the Moon in the sky,

the crescent moon curved,

silver dust fell on the little monkey's body,

it was like a monkey sculpture,

beside it,

there was also a small toy hammer that the old priest had bought for it,

the old priest had wanted it to play with the Toy Golden Cudgel,

but the little monkey preferred his own small hammer.

Bai Yingying made Zhou Ze some tea and brought it over. There were also some goji berries in the tea.

Then she sat down beside Zhou Ze and gently fanned Zhou Ze with a cattail leaf fan in her hand.

Boss Zhou leaned back on the rattan chair behind the bar counter,

from time to time, she would stand up and take a sip of tea,

most of the time, she would gently shake the rattan chair,

and shake it,

and shake it,

and shake it
