Midnight Bookstore - Chapter 153
Chapter 153: The Kind Old Man
In the morning, the Sun finally came out. It was a beautiful scene. It was completely different from yesterday’s Storm.
Doctor Lin narrowed her eyes. She had finally woken up from last night’s coma.
Although doctor Lin was not a doctor, she was, after all, a doctor. Moreover, information was very advanced in this era. It was no longer the ancient era where the mother of a daughter would teach her skills by showing her erotic pictures before she got married.
She subconsciously opened the car door. Doctor Lin was a little flustered. The strange scene from last night had left her with a lingering fear. Then, she saw Zhou Ze sitting on the ground, leaning against the car door. He was covered in blood.
At this moment, Zhou Ze was really miserable. There was not a single piece of good skin on his body. It was as if he was a criminal who had just been tortured and thrown out to die.
“Ah Ze, Ah Ze!”
Doctor Lin immediately squatted down and called out Zhou Ze’s name. She was afraid that something would happen to Zhou Ze.
This time, the period of time he was unconscious was much shorter than before. It was as if his body had slowly gotten used to it. Perhaps it was because he had swallowed a few ghosts’souls that some parts of his body had been nourished and strengthened.
In short, after being unconscious for half a night, Zhou Ze actually opened his eyes while doctor Lin was shouting.
What entered his eyes was doctor Lin’s face at that moment. Zhou Ze was so frightened that he immediately sucked in a breath of cold air and complained with difficulty,
“It’s so early in the morning, and you’re still applying a facial mask.”
Doctor Lin was both angry and amused. However, Zhou Ze could not hit him and could not bear to scold him. He could only take out a wet towel from the car and wipe his face.
When he was wiping his face, she also noticed that it didn’t seem to be a sperm spot.
“I’ll call you first aid,”doctor Lin said.
“Don’t…”
Zhou ze shook his head weakly,
“Call my bookstore… and ask the old priest to bring… bring his monkey here.”
Doctor Lin hesitated for a moment and suppressed her professional instinct to call 120. She chose to listen to Zhou Ze’s instructions and called the bookstore with Zhou Ze’s phone.
It happened to be a call from an experienced person. He immediately understood that his boss must be driving a matchless car again.
He did not hesitate and said that he would immediately bring monkey smash over.
“Where are we going now?”Doctor Lin asked Zhou Ze.
“Let’s Find a place to settle down first,”Zhou Ze said. “Help me get into the car. You Drive and find a small hotel. Oh, right, take a look at the bushes over there. See if there’s anything that looks like a driver’s license. Help me pick it up and bring it with me.”
Hearing that, Dr. Lin immediately went to the bushes in front to search. In fact, it was quite easy to find. There were two places where the bushes were obviously stained with oil, as if someone had poured lard on them in the middle of the night.
Of course, Dr. Lin naturally could not immediately tell that this was actually corpse oil.
“Is This It?”
Dr. Lin found two small notebooks and handed them over to Zhou Ze.
The two ghost certificates had yellowed, but they were not broken, which meant that they could still be used.
“It’s this.”
Zhou ze gestured for Doctor Lin to put the two things away. Then, with her help, he got into the car.
There were almost no large parts of his body that were not injured, but fortunately, Zhou Ze was already familiar with them. With doctor Lin sitting next to him, he was not in so much pain that he would scream.
However, because they had just experienced the tornado attack, many residents who had problems with their houses or had collapsed chose to stay in hotels for the time being. Therefore, from this village to the location of the small county town, all the hotels, regardless of size.., basically had no vacant rooms.
Doctor Lin drove to the end of the county town, got out of the car, and went to the small hotel to continue asking questions.
Zhou Ze was slumped in the passenger seat,
through the car window,
looking at the sky.
At this moment, an old man carrying a basket walked past the car door.
The old man was really very old. He had a head of white hair and a beard of a goat. His body was also hunched over, but when he walked, he still exuded a strong and vigorous aura.
Most importantly, when the old man walked past Zhou Ze, Zhou Ze clearly felt as if he had been stabbed in the eyes when he looked at him.
The old man stopped and looked at Zhou Ze who was in the car. He felt a little strange. He knocked on the glass and asked,
“Young man, did you get hurt?”
Did he mean that he was injured in the tornado?
Zhou ze nodded.
“Why didn’t you go to the hospital?”The old man asked curiously.
“Poor.”
“…”the old man.
After hesitating for a moment, the old man reached his hand in and checked Zhou Ze’s injuries. He said, “The superficial wounds are really uniform. There are wounds all over his body.”
“Okay.”
At this moment, doctor Lin walked back. She glanced at the old man standing by the car window and said to Zhou Ze,
“There’s still no room.”
“How can there still be a room now?”The old man shook his head and said, “Forget it. Come and stay at my house. My courtyard is big.”
Doctor Lin looked at Zhou Ze and asked for his opinion.
Zhou ze nodded. In fact, he did not know why the old man suddenly decided to help him. One had to know that in this day and age, if one did not have tens of millions of wealth, one would not dare to help others on the road.
The old man’s house was indeed very big. It was similar to a courtyard house. When Zhou Ze got out of the car, the old man helped Dr. Lin to help Zhou Ze into a house.
He was quite strong.
After lying in the house, the old man said that he was going to get some Chinese medicine for Zhou Ze and went out.
Dr. Lin sat beside Zhou Ze. She also could not believe that she could meet warm-hearted people on the road and even brought the two of them back to his house.
“There are still many good people in this world,”doctor Lin Sighed.
Zhou Ze looked at the photo frame hanging on the wall next to the bed. There were many medals and awards, as well as some group photos. If everything went according to plan, the old man should have been a soldier in the past.
“Are You Hungry?”Doctor Lin asked.
“I’m fine.”Zhou ze shook his head.
“Miss, do you know how to Cook?”
The old man walked in with the ointment in his hand.
“I do,”Dr. Lin answered.
“Then you go and Cook. I’ll put some ointment on him. It’s very effective in treating external injuries.”
Dr. Lin Glanced at Zhou Ze again. Apparently, she was still worried that Zhou Ze would stay in the room alone.
Zhou ze nodded at her and signaled her to go.
The old man sat down by Zhou Ze’s bed and patted the bedsheet. “There are no rules if you’re Shameless, right?”
Zhou ze shook his head.
“Then take off your clothes. Forget it, I’ll help you.”
The old man reached out and helped Zhou Ze take off his shirt. Looking at the densely packed injuries on Zhou Ze’s body, he smacked his lips and said,
“TSK TSK, back on the battlefield, it’s rare to see injuries like yours.”
“Old Sir, did you serve in the army before?”Zhou ze asked.
“Yes. When I fought the Japs, I was still young and could only carry a red tassel gun. When I fought Old Jiang, I joined the army seriously. Then, I went to North Korea and also went to South Tibet.
“I was lucky. I didn’t die and I wasn’t injured.”
“I was lucky.”
“The King of Hell didn’t accept me, so I had no choice. Now, I have to receive so much allowance every month, and I can’t make any contribution to the country. I might as well let the King of Hell send a ghost to take me away.”
“…”Zhou Ze.
“Alright, it’s done. With your body, you look gentle and weak, but when you touch it, it’s really rough and solid. Your Foundation is pretty good. Are you a martial artist?”
“I guess so,”Zhou Ze said perfunctorily.
“Do you know why I Brought You Into My Home?”The old man asked.
Zhou ze shook his head.
“I like you.”
“That’s a good reason.”
“People at my age can do whatever they want. I don’t want to worry too much.”
Doctor Lin cooked dinner, but Zhou Ze didn’t eat much.
After dinner, the old man invited Zhou Ze to play chess with him. Doctor Lin went to the old man’s room to look at antiques.
Zhou Ze lay on the bed and looked at the chessboard. The Old Man took a step, Zhou Ze said a step, and the old man helped Zhou ze place the stone.
Zhou Ze’s chess skills were not very good. The old man deliberately let go of a car, but it did not move, so he could kill back and forth.
As he continued to play, the sky turned dark, and Zhou Ze received a call. It was from Bai Yingying.
She said that the old priest had met the traffic police on his way here. Because the car and the person driving without a license had been detained, the monkey had no choice but to hide in the bushes nearby and did not dare to be seen by the police, otherwise, the crime of keeping a state-protected animal in private would add to the old priest’s crime.
This caught Zhou Ze somewhat by surprise. He had thought that the old priest would bring the monkey here earlier so that he could treat him better. He did not expect that the old priest would have an accident himself. In other words, not only did he not have a driver’s license, but the old priest had also been driving without a license all this time.
“What’s Wrong?”The old man asked after Zhou Ze hung up the phone.
“Something happened on the way to pick up my friend. He might not be able to come tonight.”
“If he can’t come, he can stay here. I like you.”
“…”Zhou Ze.
After playing chess, the old man yawned as if he was going to sleep. He waved at Zhou Ze, put away the chess board, and said that he was going back to his room to sleep.
After the old man walked out, doctor Lin walked in.
However, her expression was a little solemn.
“What’s Wrong?”
Zhou ze asked.
“Ah Ze, this old man is a little strange.”
“What’s so strange about him? Didn’t you say that he’s a very nice person?”Zhou ze asked.
“In short, I’m not used to it. Also, this courtyard house is also a little strange.”
“It’s okay. I’m here,”Zhou Ze comforted him.
Doctor Lin nodded and felt slightly at ease.
However, before Zhou Ze could finish his sentence, he continued:
“I’m here. You know what kind of situation I’m in right now. If there’s anything, you have to remember to carry me and run with me. Don’t leave me behind.”
“…”doctor Lin.
“I’ll get some hot water to help you wipe your body.”
Doctor Lin got up and walked out. When she came out of the kitchen with the hot water, she happened to see that the room next door to Zhou Ze’s seemed to be lit up. It was the old man’s room.
When she got closer, she heard the sounds of drinking and boxing. The old man’s voice was also in the room. It was noisy.
“Little Li Zi, there are guests in your house today?”
“Yes, a girl and a boy.”
“That girl is really good-looking. She looks like the eldest daughter of the landlord’s family.”
“You even peeked at her?”
“She looked like she had a lot of meat. Why?”
“That man is even better-looking,”a voice suddenly said.
“You brat, I’ve long felt that something is wrong with you. It turns out that you really don’t like women. You like that taste.”
“I like it. I don’t dare to like it. It depends on whether he likes us or not.”
“What do you mean?”
“If he doesn’t like it, we won’t be able to drink wine or eat meat in the future. We won’t be able to live like this anymore.”
