Midnight Bookstore - Chapter 131
Chapter 131: Hungry Ghosts Emerge From Their Cages
The development of the matter seemed to be slowly drifting in an uncontrollable direction. At least, Zhou Ze wasn’t mentally prepared for this at the beginning.
The state the little girl showed when she walked into his bookstore made Zhou Ze completely not expect that the people in this village..,
oh No..,
it was the ghosts in this village that had unexpectedly become like this.
He had clearly come to ferry them and save them..,
but now they were clearly treating him as food.
The old man was strong and vigorous. His steps were like the wind. When he waved his hoe, he even had the taste of a three-pronged axe.
Meanwhile, the little girl’s braids flew backwards. Her face was ferocious, her speed was swift, and she kept howling.
This was the performance of a malicious ghost. An ordinary ghost could not do this.
At this moment..,
the old one pounced on Zhou Ze,
the young one pounced on monkey.
Monkey first waved its plastic toy hammer, but seeing the menacing baleful ghost, it immediately stood behind Zhou Ze.
From the heart..,
it was a kind of belief,
it had almost become a custom in the bookstore,
even the animals were infected.
One had to know that monkey had previously been indifferent and disdainful towards Zhou Ze, but at this time, it quickly decided to let bygones be bygones.
Although things had changed and the script seemed to be wrong..,
zhou Ze was not so frightened that he was at a loss by the two malicious spirits.
Immediately, he took a step forward and the fingernails on both of his hands grew out, causing wisps of black mist to appear around him.
Now, with the two times that he had entered that state where zombies were seriously injured, Zhou Ze had become more and more adept at using his fingernails and the power that came with them.
Compared to the time when he fought like a shrew scratching at her fingernails, he looked much better.
“Pa! ”
“Pa! ”
When the black fog hit the old man and the little girl, their movements seemed to have pressed the slow button, and Zhou Ze lightly walked between them.
His clothes fluttered,
he strolled leisurely,
his two hands..,
slowly fell on the top of their heads,
like a celestial being touching his head,
everything was under control.
At this time, the only regret might be that the old priest did not come in, otherwise the thoughtful old priest would surely help him record this scene for future appreciation.
Then he would silently smoke a cigarette to show his disdain,
the implication was basic operation. Sit Down.
However, just as Zhou Ze’s fingernails pierced into the Grandpa and grandson’s heads and were about to announce the end of all this,
the Grandpa and the little girl’s bodies suddenly twisted and then completely disappeared.
Their speed..,
even the little Loli’s “Biu” was not as fast as theirs!
Zhou Ze’s hands were still suspended in the air,
his poss had already been set up,
but the people who cooperated with the performance were absent-minded,
it was a little awkward.
He put down his hands and turned around. Zhou Ze was stunned to find that the figures of his grandfather and grandson appeared once again on the distant path.
His grandfather was carrying a hoe and holding his granddaughter’s hand,
the old and the young seemed to have just returned from the fields,
they carried a kind of happiness and satisfaction,
it was just like the “Yellow hair hanging down, and happy with themselves” recorded in “The land of Peach Blossoms. ”
The little monkey was also a little dumbfounded. Clearly, no matter how much his brain tried to fill in the blanks, he could not understand what was happening.
The old man and the young man walked over again. The old man looked at Zhou Ze and asked curiously,
“Young man, where did you come from? ”
“I don’t know either. ” Zhou ze shrugged.
Damn it,
this time, he really did not know.
“Are you lost? ” The Grandpa was kind-hearted.
“Sort of. ” Zhou ze sighed.
“This is the three villages, not far from the city. You can enter the city if you follow this road to the south. ” The Grandpa kindly pointed the way.
The little girl played with the sugar figurine in her hand. Her figure was a little thin, but she was still naive and cute.
The image of this grandpa and grandson and the image of him wanting to eat people just now were two extremes.
“Okay, got it. ” Zhou ze nodded.
The grandfather and grandson walked into the village, chatting and laughing.
Zhou ze raised his head to look at the sky. He hadn’t noticed it before, but now he noticed that the moon in the sky seemed to be emitting a faint bloody light at the edge.
Nine years ago, when the landlord first came here, the first scene that he experienced should be the same as the second time he experienced it. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to get out the first time he came here, and he wouldn’t be able to post.
However, he said in the post that when he walked in the village at night, every family would say that they were so hungry that they wanted to eat. This meant that nine years ago, the village’s “Hunger” had already started to go wrong.
And now, when he arrived nine years later, the problem had already been further fermented and worsened.
From then on, if another “Fisherman” accidentally came in, he probably wouldn’t be able to see the pure and honest peach blossom land, and would only become the food for the many souls in the village.
Here..,
had gradually become a dangerous place.
Zhou Ze took a step forward and walked into the village. He needed to take a look around the village, or at least, investigate what had happened to this village in the context of the massacre by the Japanese.
During the national tragedy, countless souls had died. Why was this village the only one that had been preserved in such a strange way?
There must be something fishy about the abnormality.
The houses in the village were all made of mud and straw. Some of the better-off ones would put some tiles on the roof. This was the standard of housing in the village eighty years ago.
Zhou ze remembered that when he was young, he had seen similar houses in the countryside of Tongcheng. However, that was the ancestral home of others. In fact, no one lived there anymore.
Every family had their own fences and courtyards. They were all very dry and neat. In fact, they were even a little too dry. Generally speaking, the courtyards could be planted with onions, ginger, garlic, or other side dishes. However, the courtyards here were all barren and flat, there was not even a single blade of grass.
An old woman was sitting on a small stool at the door, holding a needle and thread in her hand and making cloth shoes. She was very serious and very devoted in her work. However, Zhou Ze saw from afar that the old woman was actually making a needle and thread while drooling.
On the ground,
a large pool had already accumulated.
This scene was quite strange.
The old woman was completely unaware. Even though her saliva had already soaked the shoes in her hands, she was still acting on her own. She was immersed in her own world.
Fortunately, when Zhou Ze and the little monkey walked over, she did not raise her head. However, Zhou Ze did not dare to completely treat her as a passerby. With the example of the old grandfather and the little girl from before, Zhou Ze knew that the people in this village.., who knew when they would be overwhelmed by hunger and directly turn into evil spirits.
There was a well in front of them. A woman in her thirties or forties was fetching water. The woman had a good figure. Although she was a little rustic, in that era, she could be considered a standard beauty in the countryside.
She was tall, had a heavy chest, and had two large round petals. She exuded the most primitive and impulsive aura.
However, when the woman turned around with the bucket in her hand, Zhou Ze saw that her mouth was full of something black and she was chewing it with all her might.
This was her hair..,
she was tearing and eating her hair as she carried the water. She was very hungry, very hungry.
The old woman who made the cloth shoes raised her head and looked at the woman who was fetching water. She shouted,
“Dead widow, you’re still dressed so beautifully even though you’re a dead man. is that mouth down there very thirsty? ”
The woman who was called widow did not show any signs of weakness. She directly shouted, “Old woman Cui, I’m not like you. That mouth of yours down there can’t even spit, right? ”
“Ptui, what an indecent thing to think about men all day long! ”
“I think about it. I think about it every day. I Can’t wait for all the men in the village to come to my bed tonight so that I can eat them one by one. “.
Fried,
steamed,
salad,
tSK TSK,
that taste… I can’t stand it anymore. I really miss men. ”
As widow spoke, she chewed her hair even harder,
the old woman seemed to have been persuaded as well. She drooled even more and looked fascinated.
Zhou Ze walked past them. For some reason, the two women did not seem to see him at all. However, when Zhou Ze and the little monkey walked far away.
The old woman and the widow suddenly raised their heads slowly and looked in the direction that Zhou Ze had walked in,
their eyes were suffused with waves of scarlet red.
The few rooms in front looked a little more imposing. There were tiles on them, and there were stone blocks at the door. This meant that they came from a wealthy family.
Zhou ze walked into the courtyard. There was no one in the courtyard, and the smell of meat came from the kitchen. Zhou Ze walked over and opened the window panel.
Inside was a rural stove,
a young man was setting a fire behind the stove. The fire was very hot.
But there was nothing in the pot. It was just a big pot of boiling water.
“Wife, the water is boiling. Come quickly! ”
The man shouted to the other side. He could not wait any longer.
It was like a newly married husband urging his wife to take a bath every night.
“I’m Coming, I’m coming. Look at your wretched face!
“I didn’t see you working so hard on other things, but you’re so focused on this matter. ”
The man ran out of the stove and hugged the woman, shouting,
“Quick, quick, quick, I can’t take it anymore, I can’t take it anymore. ”
“Just you wait. ”
The woman took off her clothes,
it was as if she didn’t see that there was another person standing by the window watching.
After the woman took off her clothes, her white and smooth back was revealed, but the woman’s right arm was already red, like a pig’s head sold at a street delicatessen.
The woman climbed onto the stove and sat in the boiling water. As she poured hot water on herself, she scolded her husband:
“Continue to add more firewood, or else it won’t cook well, it won’t taste good! Look at this useless thing of yours, use more strength, I’m not feeling good! ”
“Okay! ”
Her husband immediately went to the back to add more firewood,
meanwhile, the woman sitting in the pot was cooking herself,
at the same time, she took a bite of her right arm, which had been cooked and marinated before.
She narrowed her eyes,
she said in a series of enjoyment,
“It’s So Delicious. “
