Chapter 291: Dry Weather

“Hey, Cook.”

In the bookstore, the Little Loli sat at boss Zhou’s favorite seat by the window, casually flipping through a business magazine in her hand.

Flipping through it,

she was hungry,

since she was hungry..,

she had to eat.

However, Zhou Ze wasn’t in the bookstore, and neither was that silly zombie,

the Cook was still in a coma,

the Deadpool was still growing grass,

only the old Taoist was left alive.

The old Taoist curled his lips and ignored her. He was currently holding a small bathtub and throwing a shower at his monkey. He had already eaten on the way back for dinner, and it was the treat from officer Zhang.

The Little Loli habitually wanted to be angry,

she felt that her life was going back more and more,

back then, Zhou Ze could only be a little quail in front of her, and his life and death were in her hands,

but now..,

even an old man who did odd jobs under Zhou Ze dared to ignore her.

Helplessly, she took out her phone, opened the take-out app, and prepared to order a meal.

“Squeak squeak…”

The monkey in the bathtub suddenly started dancing.

“Pa!”

The old priest patted the monkey’s head, “Take a bath obediently and don’t be mischievous. Do you want to have lice on your body in the future? I’ll Have to breed you in the future. It’s such a precious time. In the end, you let the female monkey catch lice for you and delayed half of it. Don’t you feel that you’re losing out?”

The monkey held his head and felt very wronged.

The Little Loli put down her phone. She saw that there was a white cat crouching outside the glass door of the bookstore.

The white cat should be a wild cat. It was dirty and had several wounds on its body.

At first, the Little Loli didn’t care, but the monkey’s cry reminded her and made her take a few more glances at the white cat.

Then..,

she realized something was wrong.

She got up, walked to the door, and opened the glass door.

The white cat raised its head and looked at the Little Loli with a fearful expression. It subconsciously began to drag its exhausted body back.

“Demon?”

The Little Loli immediately bent down and hugged the white cat in her arms. She then walked to the side of the bar counter and placed it there.

Her two hands grabbed the white cat’s front paws and flipped it over. After checking it back and forth a few times, the Cat’s face turned red. It looked very ashamed and angry.

“It’s a female.”

The Little Loli frowned slightly.

“What Demon Is This? It’s clearly a fox.”

The old Daoist had just finished cleaning monkey’s body and walked over. He glanced at the white cat on the bar counter and said directly.

“A Fox?”

“That’s right, a fox. However, its tail was cut off by someone. This is F * cking strange. Nowadays, do foxes have to participate in beauty pageants like Koji?”

The White Fox turned its head and looked at the old man. It grinned and bared its teeth. It let out a hissing sound with a threatening tone.

“Squeak Squeak!”

Monkey Smash, who had been washed clean and fragrant, immediately jumped onto the bar counter and glared back at the Fox!

The old Daoist looked as if he was deep in thought. As if he had thought of something, he immediately squatted down and looked at the Fox on the bar counter. He asked in puzzlement,

“Club?”

The Fox nodded.

“F * ck!”

The old Daoist was so frightened that he took a few steps back and fell to the ground.

“You’ve been injured. You’ve crippled your cultivation and lost your tail. What are you afraid of?”The Little Loli glanced at the old Daoist with disdain, she pointed at the White Fox in front of her and said, “Do you want to braise it or steam it or be more decisive? She can only do whatever you want to her.”

The White Fox looked at the Little Loli with a fawning expression.

A Fox was the best at being a person,

people often referred to those elders who had lived for a long time and had rich philosophies as… old foxes. This was also the reason.

The Fox knew clearly who she needed to fawn over in this bookstore.

In fact..,

she really had nowhere else to go. After a long time of wandering, she had no choice but to lower her head and find this bookstore to seek refuge with Zhou Ze.

But who knew..,

she came at the wrong time..,

boss Zhou was not in the shop at the moment,

there was a little girl in the shop,

but this little girl would not have bright eyes for something like a cute pet.

“Give her a bath. Her body stinks. She’s here to find Zhou Ze. Let her wait.”

The Little Loli finally decided not to step in and take over. Anyway, that salted fish Zhou Ze had this kind of collecting habit. He liked to collect all kinds of things in his own place.

“Take a Bath?”

The old Daoist was stunned for a moment, then walked over.

The Fox was so scared that it kept retreating,

although this Fox didn’t have any clothes on her and was almost naked, letting the old Daoist look at her at this time and then letting the old Daoist help her take a bath were two completely different concepts.

A fox demon with a cultivation base of more than a hundred years would be called an ancestor by the younger generation in the clan. Back then, she could even have an intimate relationship with Yuan Shikai. How could she let the old Daoist desecrate her body like this.

When she thought about how she would be seen by this old Daoist the whole time when she turned into a depilated chicken after entering the water..,

the Fox was extremely unwilling.

Actually, this old Daoist also didn’t dare..,

damn it..,

this was a fox demon!

Back then, she had already dealt with her. Even if a plucked Phoenix was inferior to a chicken, who could be sure that this fellow wouldn’t be able to recover in the future?

Unless he stewed it for her now and completely made her GG, this old Daoist would absolutely not dare to desecrate her.

“Eh, why don’t you go? I’ll buy you some food, okay?”The old priest said to the Little Loli.

The Little Loli had a look of unwillingness.

“The boss is quite interested in her. Back then in the clubhouse, Hehe.”

As the old priest spoke, he winked at the Fox.

The Fox’s eyes also showed gratitude.

She knew that this old priest was adding drama for her, pulling tiger skin for her to make a coat.

“Zhou Ze?”

The Little Loli looked at the old man suspiciously,

he was clearly asking..,

did Zhou Ze have the ability to be “Interested”?

“Absolutely!”

The old man patted his chest,

“So, you should be a little tired and help her take care of it.”

“Why do I feel like you’re trying to trick me?”

If Zhou Ze really liked this fox demon, then as his subordinate, it was only right for him to show her goodwill and take a bath. It was nothing.

“How would I dare to lie to You? Think about it…”

The boss wasn’t interested in zombies,

he wasn’t interested in men,

he wasn’t interested in virgins,

he had to be interested in something, right?”

“So, he was interested in demons?”

“Exactly. Look at that eighth aunt. The boss didn’t have any enmity with her back then. Why did he take her in? Isn’t that clear?”

The Little Loli’s eyes revealed a look of terror.

This truth..,

was so terrifying.

After the old Daoist finished speaking, his heart was also filled with terror,

he subconsciously turned his head to look,

hu..,

fortunately..,

this time, the boss didn’t suddenly appear behind him like a ghost.

Eh..,

that’s not right..,

the Boss was a ghost to begin with.

The Little Loli shook her head,

she carried the Fox into the bathroom.

The old Daoist hugged the monkey and sat behind the bar counter. After ordering a takeout for the Little Loli, he continued to drink peanuts and white wine with the monkey.

To the old Taoist, working in the bookstore was equivalent to taking care of his old age.

Back in Chengdu, he chose to follow the previous boss in order to experience the thrill of seeing ghosts every three to five days,

this time, he stayed in the bookstore with Zhou Ze and did not follow Tang Shi and the others to Shanghai. In fact, he knew very well that he was old and tired. His whole life had been bumpy and he had traveled far and wide,

he had seen storms and waves,

he had seen the sinister hearts of people,

he had seen ghosts,

he just wanted to be more stable.

In this “Home of salted fish,”

Oh,

no,

in this “Late-night study room,”

He could obtain the greatest stability. It was not boring, but it was not tiring. He could happily watch the sunset of his life, and that was it.

“Squeak, Squeak!”

Monkey suddenly cried out.

The old priest squinted his eyes, which were slightly red from drinking. He took out his cow tears and wiped them away. He saw an old man and a woman standing at the door.

The man and woman supported each other and walked in.

The old priest stood up and motioned for them to come in. Then he went to the back and prepared a few cold dishes and placed them on the small wooden table in the private room. He even poured three cups of rice wine.

The old couple sat down at the small table,

the old man raised his glass,

and drank with them slowly.

They talked about their daily life,

and talked about the nonsense that only people of this age would say.

Times are changing,

people are changing, too,

when you get old, you get old.

The old man talked with them for a long time,

only then did he know that the old man died eight days ago, and the old woman died one day after the old man died,

the old man was waiting for the old woman,

the old woman was chasing after the old man,

after the old woman had passed the seventh day,

the two old men joined hands,

and walked forward together,

as they walked,

they came to the entrance of the bookstore.

The old man talked to them about the past,

he listened to them talk about their children,

he listened to them talk about their grandchildren,

he listened to them talk about the house they used to live in, and the house they lived in now.

The old man had no children, but he listened with relish. From time to time, he would pick up a piece of dried tea or throw a peanut into his mouth and chew it slowly.

The wine was refilled twice,

the peanut was also bottomed out,

at this time,

the bathroom door was pushed open,

the Little Loli carried the white fox, which had been washed and dried, out.

The Little Loli despised the environment of the bookstore very much,

there were monkeys and foxes,

it was like a zoo,

moreover, each and every one of them was a person who cherished and protected animals. They were cheap and did not break the law, and boss Zhou was not happy to adopt them.

Who knows, there might be things like giant pandas and Manchurian Tigers appearing in the study room in the future.

Put down the Fox,

the Little Loli walked to the private room and knocked on the door,

“Have you finished eating and drinking? It’s time to go.”

The old man and old lady stood up together and said goodbye to the old priest.

“Big Brother, sister-in-law, take care.”

The old priest waved at them as well.

The Little Loli opened her mouth,

she stuck out her tongue,

the flesh-red carpet spread out,

“The underworld is orderly, the yellow springs can be crossed…”

The old man and the old lady held each other’s hands,

they had supported each other for most of their lives,

now, they still had to continue to support each other,

there was still a long way to go,

there was still a long way to go.

After sending the two of them off,

the Little Loli retracted her tongue,

she was a little happy,

a little happy,

while boss Zhou wasn’t around,

she secretly made a business deal,

her GPA was still hers,

she was elated.

She also became much gentler when she kneaded the fox’s fur than when she took a bath.

The old priest sighed and sat behind the bar counter,

he continued to drink.

Monkey jumped onto the old priest’s shoulder,

he massaged his shoulder.

“Is Zhou not coming back tonight?”The Little Loli asked.

“Yes, I think so. He went to the two-person world with Yingying.”

“A salted fish is a salted fish. Living in a villa is like a big happy event. Back then…”

At this point..,

the Little Loli stopped talking,

back then..,

it was meaningless.

“You shouldn’t have taken it. If you take too much, God will find a chance for you to spit it out.”

Hearing this, the Little Loli’s face darkened as she stared at the old Daoist’s back.

The old Daoist took another sip of white wine,

he smacked his lips,

“Do you feel that I’m somewhat unfathomable now?

Hehe.”
