Midnight Bookstore - Chapter 239
Chapter 239: Brotherly and Sisterly Love
The gentle boss glanced at his employee, shook his head, and made a “Please”gesture to Zhou Ze, indicating that Zhou Ze could go in and chat.
The female employee nervously pinched the corner of her shirt with both hands. She was so anxious that tears were about to fall out. Obviously, she was very afraid. She was not afraid of Zhou Ze, but of her boss.
Zhou Ze walked into the cubicle inside.
Very few internet cafes would specially open an office. Most of them wished they could squeeze out the last bit of space. If they could arrange for one more seat, they would arrange for one more seat. If they could arrange for one more private room, they would arrange for one more private room, as for the rest area for the staff, it was as simple as it could be.
Moreover, this office was really quite spacious. There was another room inside, which should be a bedroom. The main hall had a sofa and a desk. The carpet was an ink-and-wash painting with a film covering. It was a landscape painting. When a person stepped on it.., it was as if they were standing in the middle of a white mountain and black water.
The walls were hung with calligraphy and paintings. There were also a few signatures of famous artists that even Zhou Ze, who did not know calligraphy and painting, had some impression of. He did not know whether they were real or fake.
However… They should be real. After all, the other party could open an internet cafe in a place like South Street. Moreover, they were extremely extravagant in setting up such a large space as a living and resting area.
When Zhou Ze looked at this person now, he had the feeling of someone looking at him in the past.
Opening a bookstore that would definitely lose money in the city’s golden business street phase..,
yes..,
this boss must be “Unfathomable”, or at least very rich.
The other party made tea and took the initiative to serve it over.
“Please sit.”
Zhou Ze sat down on the sofa. He could say that he was here to denounce him, but in reality, his emotional tendencies were not that strong.
Anyone who did anything would inevitably have some subjective emotional bias. For example, Zhou Ze saw that the woman was not very comfortable. Although he had helped her to remove the worm, he had to anxiously seek revenge for her, it was not to the extent of it.
“This matter is my fault. I did not discipline my people well. Thank you for your help, brother. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.”
Saying,
the gentle man crushed the Teacup in his hand,
then the right hand grabbed a piece of ceramic, to his left arm directly cut down!
For a moment,
the position of the left arm down from the shoulder,
a terrible wound had appeared,
it was bloody.
Zhou ze lowered his head and drank a mouthful of tea, tea overflowing, refreshing.
The Man’s blood dripped on the carpet and pooled together, but the man acted as if nothing had happened. His right hand held the frame of his glasses, and his left hand hung by his side. He walked up to Zhou Ze and asked,
“Brother, what do you think of this explanation?”
Zhou ze nodded, indicating that it was enough.
In fact, according to boss Zhou’s view of good and evil, he did not have the awareness that a “Special person”had to “Carry out justice on behalf of the heavens”in order to wreak havoc in the human world, zhou Ze was not sure if there were really “Taoist priests of mount longhu”and “Taoist priests of Mount Laoshan”in this world. However, he understood one thing. No matter how it was arranged, punishing evil and promoting good.., the responsibility of maintaining the order of the righteous path in the world would never fall on him, this ghost errand boy.
At best..,
the reason why Zhou Ze really came over was that he had unintentionally found this neighbor who lived across the street. He was a little unusual, so he came to investigate based on the taboo of sleeping on the side of the bed.
“Brother, may I ask which family you belong to?”
He first taught himself a lesson,
then he began to investigate,
this was a common trick in jianghu.
Zhou ze stretched out his hand and pointed underground,
he meant that he was an underground worker.
“Oh, Brother Tomb Raider, I wonder which sect you’re from?”
“…”Zhou Ze.
“I’m being rude. My Name Is Qu Mingming. My hometown is Henan, and my family’s ancestors were doctors
“But in my generation, Hehe, I like to play games. When I was young, I often skipped classes and went to the internet cafe instead of the medical hall. So now that I’m out of my home, I’ve only opened an internet cafe. This internet cafe has been open for half a year.
“From the looks of it, it’s also my negligence. I didn’t know that there were hidden dragons and crouching tigers nearby.”
“I thought you were from Miaojiang.”
“Is it because of that bug? In fact, since ancient times, medicine and voodoo were inseparable. Even in ancient times, doctors were also part-time fortune-tellers and other professions. In the tribe, they were known as wizards.
Because of the influence of some movies and literature, people now thought that only Miao had voodoo. This could only be considered a common misconception.
“That bug was fed with Chinese medicine. After it sneaks into the human body, it can release chronic toxins, causing the heart and lung function of the person to begin a cycle of exhaustion.
“I also didn’t expect my little sister to hit so hard this time. It was my negligence. Now that I think about it, I can’t help but feel a little scared. It was thanks to my brother’s help that it didn’t cause a big disaster.”
There were indeed many strange people in this world. They might not be knowledgeable, but their methods were definitely not to be underestimated.
Since the other party mistook him for a grave robber, it meant that he didn’t have the ability of the “Yin-yang eye”and couldn’t see through his true identity.
Moreover, whether it was in terms of attitude or self-discipline, the other party had performed perfectly. He was well-grounded, very sincere, and indeed, there was nothing to criticize.
As for the little girl at the bar, this man’s self-harm in front of him was already considered as being punished on his behalf, and Zhou Ze would not pursue the matter any further,
could it be that he really called the police and told them that the police uncle was here to kill someone with “Miaojiang Voodoo”?
If the person who answered the phone was a funny police uncle, he would probably reply, “Okay, then please kill her on behalf of the Moon!”!
“Since you’re a neighbor, then brother, please stay for a meal. I’m not talented, but my culinary skills are passable.”
Eat?
Forget it.
Zhou Ze was not used to eating outside.
Zhou Ze was about to refuse, but he did not expect Qu Mingming to add another sentence:
“I’m good at medicinal cuisine. By using medicine to flavor, I can adjust the QI and blood in my body and warm up my meridians.
“Looking at your complexion, I realized that brother, are you often injured?
“That’s why the accumulated Qi in your body doesn’t dissipate. These things are harmful to your body.
“If I regulate it, it can have the effect of prolonging your life.
“People live according to Qi. If Qi is alive, people will flourish. Ghosts won’t dare to invade.”
“…”Zhou Ze.
“There’s no need.”
Zhou Ze stood up and prepared to leave. He knew his own body very well. Could it be that every time he opened peerless, he would come here to “Regulate”it?
At that time, this internet cafe owner might think that he was very dedicated to his work. He would always have to fight with zongzi when he went to rob a tomb.
No..,
zongzi..,
it sounded a little harsh.
Zhou Ze walked to the door,
qu Mingming actually spoke again:
“My medicinal diet has a great effect on recuperating hidden diseases.”
Hidden Diseases?
Zhou Ze stopped in his tracks,
he reached out and rubbed his neck and sighed:
“My neck seems to be a little sore. I’ve been injured before, so I’ll take care of it.”
… ..
The kitchen was on the second floor,
yes,
qu Mingming had booked two floors. The first floor was for internet cafes and office bedrooms,
on the second floor..,
there were all kinds of medicinal herbs, stoves, and pots. It was simply a paradise for foodies.
After Zhou Ze came up to take a look, he went down. There was an area covered by a curtain that Qu Ming did not open to let him in, so Zhou ze tactfully did not go.
In fact,
zhou ze had already “Heard”that there was a dense amount of “Fine broken”sounds inside. It went without saying what was stored there.
Boss Zhou did not have much interest in those gu worms.
Qu Mingming was in charge of making the medicinal cuisine. He said that he would bring it down when it was ready.
Zhou Ze was alone in the office admiring these paintings. The little girl at the bar counter walked in with tears in her eyes. She knelt on the ground and used a rag to wipe away the blood stains on the carpet.
She was very sad and very sad. When Zhou Ze saw her, he felt like he saw Bai Yingying.
If he was injured and bled so much, Bai Yingying should also be very sad.
Thinking of this, Zhou Ze took out his cell phone and called Bai Yingying. He said that he was surfing the internet at the Internet cafe across the street and would not come back for dinner.
Bai Yingying shouted and said that after she was done with her business at the bookstore, she would also come and… Fly with Zhou Ze,
no, it was a double row.
She thought that Zhou Ze had gone to the internet cafe to play games.
After putting down the phone, Zhou Ze found that the little girl was standing where she was, looking at him with a complicated expression.
Zhou ze pointed at his own face:
“Blame me?”
The little girl did not respond. She wiped her tears and pouted before walking out of the office with an aggrieved look on her face.
Zhou ze shrugged. In this day and age, Little Fangirls were the most difficult to deal with. He could only hope that Qu Ming could take good care of her. However, Zhou Ze did not take it seriously. It seemed that killing and injuring people by non-supernatural beings were not his responsibility, there were many murders and other vicious incidents that happened every day in the world.
..
The little girl finished wiping off the blood stains, washed her hands, and walked to the second floor.
Qu Ming was squatting beside the small stove to watch the heat. The medicinal cuisine in the pot was rich in flavor, but it was not greasy. Instead, it emitted a refreshing fragrance like mint.
“Brother, you don’t have to do this.”
The little girl walked to her boss’s side and grabbed his left hand with some heartache.
“It’s okay, sister is not sensible and caused trouble. Of course, as your brother, I will bear the responsibility. The person below is also sensible and did not make things difficult for us.”
“He is just a country mouse, a low-class character. He really thinks of himself as some official figure.”
“Qu Zhen Zhen Zhen, what you did was wrong. Without his help, your hands would have been stained with a human’s blood debt. Gu worms have spirits, do you really want to be devoured by the Gu worms you raised yourself one day?”
“Alright, Alright, it was really wrong, it was really wrong.”
Qu Zhen reached out and touched his brother’s arm, burying his face in it, using his tongue to gently lick the wound.
“Brother, you’re so good to me.”
“Nonsense, you’re my sister. If I’m not good to you, who am I good to?”
“Yes, Brother Loves Me the most.”
“Hehe.”
Qu mingming reached out to touch his sister’s face.
Qu Mingming raised his head and looked at his brother with admiration:
“Brother, sister will always be the top of your furnace.”
“Good boy.”Qu Mingming opened the lid to take a look and then said, “He is going to be put into medicine. His yang qi is weak and his yin qi is heavy. It might be because he has been staying in a place like the tomb for a long time.
“But it is also quite interesting,
“It is impossible for normal tomb raiders to visit the tomb so quickly. The feeling he gives me is like sleeping in the tomb every day.
“Forget it..,
“Take three coins for the nine ladybugs, one for the silver nematode worms, and one for the Dark Fire Worms. This way, he can recover from the yang deficiency disease in his body.”
After Qu Mingming finished speaking, he placed his hand on his sister’s chin.
“Okay.”
The girl nodded,
then, she opened her mouth,
in the next moment..,
three small bugs with patterns on their wings flew out of her mouth,
a little silver insect slowly crawled out of her left ear,
a dark gold-like insect squeezed out from the corner of her eye,
these insects obediently fell into Qu Mingming’s palm,
with a flip of Qu Mingming’s palm,
he threw these insects into the pot,
for a moment,
the smell of the medicinal cuisine became even more fragrant.
