Midnight Bookstore - Chapter 361
Chapter 361: Performance Art
Zhang Yanfeng pushed open the door of the bookstore and walked in. The door was open. After all, it was business time now.
The Little Loli sat behind the bar counter, holding a spoon in her hand and pressing her tongue back and forth. She tugged at her tongue as if she was thinking about something.
She had told Zhou Ze before that ghostly messengers could not cultivate, but that did not mean that their abilities could not be further developed and explored.
She had experienced this firsthand.
Half a year ago in Chengdu, the one who had been chased by the group of Ghostly Messengers had returned with the white cat in less than a month. She still remembered that scene to this day.
Therefore, the Little Loli who had been arguing with her tongue did not notice that old Zhang had returned. Her subconscious had noticed, but she only thought that it was a staff member from the study who had returned, not a stranger, so she did not care.
The old Daoist sat on the sofa, holding a needle and thread to help the little monkey mend his clothes.
The little monkey was mischievous and liked to jump up and down, so his clothes were often torn or torn. If they could be mended, the old Daoist would tie them up and sew them together.
The old Daoist used to know a big girl who worked in a hair salon in the Tongcheng Harbor area. The old Daoist often visited her, and her hands were even more nimble. She helped the old Daoist mend his Daoist robe twice.
Her son was a little demented, while her husband was lazy in his hometown and did not even bother to plant the land. She had no choice but to go out and do this line of work in order to maintain the family’s livelihood and expenses.
Later, when her husband took her son into the river to take a bath, they were caught in the flood and drowned together.
When the old Taoist went to look for the big sister again, his colleague said that the big sister cried all night when she heard the news and paid the bill the next day to pack up her things and go back to her parents’house.
As he thought about the little clothes in her hand,
perhaps,
this is youth,
perhaps,
this is life.
When he lived to seventy-one years old, although he did not have half a son, the old Daoist’s love life was not boring. The bright and beautiful others looked down on him, and the so-called clubhouse and the outer areas of the young models, the old Daoist had not come into contact with them.
On the contrary, he liked the older girls who were working for a living
Everyone had the same language. They were both vagabonds, so they could comfort each other.
Zhang Yanfeng walked in front of the old priest. He wanted to ask the old priest what he should eat because he could not eat the food of ordinary people.
He also wanted to ask the old priest where he should sleep because he seemed to realize that he could not sleep at all.
He declined the invitation and indicated that he needed some time alone. He came out from the back door of the police station and said that he just wanted to get some air.
The leaders of the police station also expressed their understanding. By creating a fake identity and blending into the criminal organization, it was equivalent to experiencing a completely different life on the other side.
Now that the undercover mission had been successfully completed, when he came out again, he was in a trance.
Just like in the early Qing dynasty, a group of people would fight to the death for their hair bun. In the Republic of China, when the military and police went on the streets to force them to cut their braids, there was still a group of people who cried for the same reason.
After staying in a certain environment for a long time, people would develop inertia.
Of course, the leaders of the police station thought so, but in reality, Zhang Yanfeng just wanted to go back to the bookstore and ask about the specific situation. He also wanted to find Zhou Ze to share his current joy.
After my rebirth, I’m still a police officer. This is good news, the best news.
“Old Taoist, where’s Zhou Ze?”Zhang Yanfeng asked.
He wanted to ask the Boss?
But thinking about it, he still couldn’t say the word “Boss”. After all, he was still not used to it. Although other people in the bookstore called Zhou Ze “Boss”, Zhang Yanfeng was thin-skinned.
“Oh, he went to the police station with old an,”the old Taoist answered without raising his head.
“Why did he go to the police station?”Zhang Yanfeng asked.
“To save you.”
“To save me?”
“Yes, weren’t you arrested? They were planning to break you out of prison…”
At this point,
the old Taoist suddenly raised his head,
he looked at Zhang Yanfeng in front of him and screamed:
“Ahhh! ! ! ! ! !”!
“Why are you back! ! ! !”
“I. . .”
“Quickly call the boss, quick, Quick!”The old Taoist immediately shouted at the Little Loli at the bar counter.
Little did he know that with the old Taoist’s scream..,
the Little Loli, who had been concentrating on poking her tongue with the spoon, suddenly trembled. The Spoon went straight into her mouth and gave her a deep throat.
The Little Loli used one hand to pat the counter with all her might and the other hand to pull the spoon out with all her might,
she held it in so much that her entire face turned red.
“Pop!”
With great difficulty..,
the Spoon was finally pulled out by herself.
The Little Loli looked at the old priest with a gloomy face and said in a deep voice,
“Do you want to be reincarnated in a hurry? !”
“…”the old priest.
Although he was enduring the Little Loli’s anger, the old priest could only smile awkwardly. He immediately took out his cell phone and called the boss. The call was connected and the other party hung up after the matter was settled.
The old priest heaved a sigh of relief,
it seemed that the boss and the others had not started breaking into the prison yet.
That’s right,
boss Zhou and lawyer an were delayed for a period of time because of a certain matter. The reason seemed to be that a special event had started in the evening. When the night ended, the nearby Municipal Bureau had also dispatched quite a number of police officers over, causing the number of police officers to double at this time of the night, there were cars coming and going in the entire city’s police station, and the number of police officers had doubled.
Zhou Ze and lawyer an could only wait patiently,
similar to the Black Fog’s deception, lawyer an was not the only one who knew how to do it. Zhou Ze also knew how to do it. However, this was only safe when there were fewer people. If they ran into a few old criminal police officers who were full of murderous aura, they might also be seen through.
After all, Boss Zhou and lawyer an wanted to break out of the prison in a civilized manner. It would be best if they could do it quietly. However, they did not want to go head-to-head with this country’s violent authorities.
They waited and waited until they received a call from the old priest.
When they heard that Zhang Yanfeng had safely returned to the study room..,
zhou Ze and an BUQI looked at each other,
they could tell that the other party had let out a long sigh of relief.
When they returned to the study room, it was already three or four in the morning. Zhang Yanfeng sat on the sofa with his eyes closed. However, it was obvious that he could not fall asleep.
Zhou Ze walked in and instructed Yingying to pour him a cup of coffee. Then, he sat down in front of old Zhang.
Old Zhang opened his eyes and looked at Zhou Ze. Then, he smiled.
“I’m a spy. Actually, I’m also a police officer.”
“You’re also a police officer?”
“Yes, but not in Tongcheng, but in the neighboring salt city. I’ve been a spy for three years.”
“Congratulations.”Zhou Ze then looked at lawyer an next to him. “So, the body you took is the body of an undercover police officer. They didn’t have an internal conflict, but the spy was found and killed.”
Lawyer an shrugged. “How would I know that? But it’s quite interesting when you think about it. One cop died, and the body was reincarnated into another cop. It’s a kind of fate.”
As he said that..,
lawyer an patted old Zhang’s shoulder,
“You’ve lived two lifetimes, and you’re both cops. Then you can continue to be your cop.”
“I’ll try to apply for transfer to Tongcheng, but it’ll take some time,”old Zhang said. “And I’ll have a long vacation, so I can stay in the study during this time.”
“Well, get used to life first. Let old an teach you meditation tonight. People who are possessed by souls can’t sleep, and it’s hard to accept food in the ordinary sense. If you don’t want to have glucose infusion every day, you can ask old XU to make some sour plum juice for you tomorrow. Drink a big mouthful of sour plum juice before eating, and then you can suppress the nausea and eat.”
Old Zhang nodded. So that was the reason.
“Alright, today’s business is over. You can close the door and rest.”
Boss Zhou yawned and prepared to take a shower and sleep.
Who would have thought that a guest would come at this time? It was an acquaintance, Zhang Feng.
Old Zhang saw his son walking over and thought of the old man from last night. He immediately stood up in fright.
“My Son… My Son…”
Zhou ze glanced at him and comforted him, “He’s not dead. He’s alive.”
Old Zhang heaved a long sigh of relief.
He was really worried that something bad had happened to his son and rushed over to be reincarnated.
“Boss Zhou, are you here?”Zhang Feng pushed the door open and asked.
Did he really come looking for him?
Zhou ze remembered that Zhang Feng had said that his father had told him on the phone that there was a notebook in the safe at home.
“Old Priest, please take care of the guests.”
Zhou Ze couldn’t be bothered with this guy anymore. He went upstairs before the other party recognized him as the doctor.
The old priest immediately came over and served tea. At the same time, he explained the minimum charge on his side. Regarding this, Zhang Feng wasn’t stingy. Instead, he gave him the money first.
“The boss isn’t here. If there’s anything you need, you can tell him.”
The old priest pointed at Zhang Yanfeng who was sitting next to him.
Zhang Yanfeng stood up at this time and sat in front of his son.
The two of them sat awkwardly.
Xiao Zhang did not speak,
old Zhang did not speak either.
Xiao Zhang was nervous about the description of this bookstore recorded in the notebook his father left behind,
when he first saw the notebook, why did he feel that his father had just watched some supernatural movie or novel, so he became interested in the story he wrote,
but on second thought, with his father’s literary talent, he probably really couldn’t be bothered to do such a thing.
So with an extremely perturbed mood, he came to the door.
Old Zhang didn’t know how he should face his son. Should he tell him the truth or hide it?
Regarding this, he didn’t have the time to ask Zhou Ze before he left.
The two of them just stared at each other,
as they watched..,
old Zhang’s eyes were moist. He reached out to wipe his tears, but the more he wiped, the more he wiped.
Little Zhang saw that old Zhang was crying. He didn’t know why, but he also started to cry with him.
The two of them just sat opposite each other,
they didn’t say anything,
they wiped their tears with all their might.
Old Zhang looked at Little Zhang in puzzlement,
why are you crying?
Little Zhang also looked at Old Zhang in puzzlement,
why are you crying again?
The Little Loli crossed her legs and whispered to the old priest beside her, “Have you revealed your identity?”
The old priest shook his head.
“Then why are you crying?”
“It’s a performance art. This penniless priest has seen it before.”
