Chapter 106 - : Too Early to Die!

Chapter 106: Too Early to Die!

“Boss, are we still doing business today?”

Bai Yingying walked to Zhou Ze’s side with a sad face.

Zhou Ze smiled and took a sip of water. He shook his head and said, “They’re happy today. Let them make a fuss.”

After that…

Zhou Ze looked at the notes on the floor and Tang Shi’s bloody ink painting. He looked at Bai Yingying pitifully and comforted her.

“Let the two of them clean the place tonight.”

“Yes, alright!”

The silly girl, Bai Yingying, was instantly delighted.

“Help me get another cup of coffee and a newspaper.”

Zhou Ze rubbed his right palm. The pain was slowly disappearing, but the sense of belonging to the Door to Hell was constantly increasing. However, this series of stimuli made him feel tired.

He was already heavily injured, and he had just woken up. His body was still weak, so he could not withstand too much torture.

The white oriole eagerly brought her coffee and newspaper, then slipped upstairs. Since her boss said she wouldn’t open today, she went back to her room to eat chicken.

When she heard that she had just gotten the skin of a gun, she had already decided to use it as a burial item to buy the skin.

Unfortunately, Blue Cave did not know of her existence.

Otherwise, he would really give her a certificate—a real hardcore player!

Zhou Ze continued to sit by the window and read the newspaper in his hand.

The ruckus continued. Zhou Ze had thought that no more guests would come, but one did.

This gave Zhou Ze an illusion:

Ha!

Are there really people who aren’t afraid of death?

The person who came was a regular customer, and he was holding a Corgi. It was Zhou Ze’s first customer when he opened his shop. At that time, she had lost her beloved dog and was found with Zhou Ze’s help.

Xu Qinglang wanted to show off that he had more than twenty houses in front of her.

In the end, she said that her real estate company was the one who gave her his house, which made Xu Qinglang depressed for a few days and put on airs. Naturally, he did not feel good.

“Boss, it’s quite lively here.”

The young woman sat down in front of Zhou Ze.

Zhou Ze pushed the coffee in front of him over. “No.”

The girl shook her head. “If they don’t drink this, what’s wrong with them?”

The girl pointed at Tang Shi and the old Taoist who were still messing around.

“Oh, I just opened for business. I invited a circus troupe to join in the fun.”

The girl smiled. It was unknown if she believed him or not. She walked to the bar and poured herself a glass of water. Then she walked back and said,

“Boss, remember I told you before that I can invest in a new store.”

“I’m afraid I’ll implicate you.”

“I happened to pass by this place today. When I saw the sign for the ‘Late-night Study Room’, I hesitated for a moment. As expected, I moved here. Okay, this location is pretty good. I’ll come in and greet you. See you next time.”

The girl came and left quickly.

Zhou Ze picked up his coffee, took a sip, and continued to pick up the newspaper. However, he realized that a black shadow had appeared beside his bed.

Zhou Ze turned his head around and looked out the window. There was an old woman standing there. She looked withered, and her expression was numb.

He reached out and knocked on the window. The man turned to look at him.

Still confused.

“Hey, are you done?”

Zhou Ze shouted at Tang Shi and the old Taoist priest.

They were also coming to an end. The old Daoist priest was gasping for breath as he collapsed to the ground. Tang Shi stopped laughing and crying.

Zhou Ze signaled for Tang Shi to look out of the window. Tang Shi understood and walked out. Soon, the old woman was forced into the shop.

“Can you send her to hell?” Zhou Ze asked.

He was a little weak now, and the Gates of Hell could not be opened.

“The kind where your soul dissipates?”

Tang Shi asked.

“Forget it.”

Zhou Ze looked at the old woman and realized that her eyes were lifeless. Other than sizing up people at the start, she was staring numbly in one direction.

Following her gaze, Zhou Ze realized that she was staring at the clock on the wall.

Customers came.

She was not feeling well and could not receive him.

But he could not chase the customers out.

“Leave her in the store. When I recover some energy tomorrow, I’ll see if I can open the Gates of Hell to send her down.”

A mosquito’s leg was also meat. Zhou Ze did not mind and would not let it go.

“Who’s watching her?”

Tang Shi asked.

In the bookstore, there were only four people who could see a ghost.

Zhou Ze, Xu Qinglang, Tang Shi, Bai Yingying, and the old daoist didn’t count.

However, Xu Qinglang had returned home today and was not around.

Zhou Ze was too weak to watch.

Tang Shi and Bai Yingying were the only ones left. What Miss Tang meant was that if you asked the maid who was playing the game to come down, she wouldn’t have the time to help him.

However, Bai Yingying had just gone up to play games, and he could not bear to call her down now.

This silly girl pawned all the funerals to open her own bookstore. She was usually busy inside and outside.

He had to help her bathe and sleep.

He did not want to take away her time.

“Okay, just leave her here. Looks like she won’t run away.” Zhou Ze could only shrug.

“Hehe, the surrounding ghosts will be attracted because of you, but they will quickly realize what kind of place this is. Then they will start to be afraid and hide. Finally, when you are not paying attention, they will slip away.

Being afraid of death is human nature. Ghosts are no exception. ”

Zhou Ze pointed at the old woman who was still staring at the clock.

“I feel like there’s something wrong with her brain. Do ghosts also have Alzheimer’s?”

“I’ve never done any research on this.”

“Forget it. If she’s gone, so be it. I can’t send her straight to hell. I can’t just smash her to pieces today. This is a courier station, not a slaughterhouse.”

“Suit yourself.” Tang Shi prepared to go upstairs.

“Hey.” Zhou Ze stopped her.

Tang Shi did not stop and walked even faster.

Obviously, she knew what Zhou Ze wanted to say. It was something that he would rather not do than let her see a ghost!

“Boss, this feels so good!”

The old Daoist crawled to his feet. He had already turned off the livestream. Monkey put down his phone and ran to the bar counter to look for food.

“Old Daoist, are you feeling better?” Zhou Ze asked.

“How comfortable. I haven’t felt so comfortable in a long time.”

Zhou Ze could not bear to see her being so honest.

However, Zhou Ze still said, “Clean up the place.”

“…”

She did not know if it was because Tang Shi and the old Daoist priest were too noisy that night, but other than the old woman, no other guests came.

Zhou Ze leaned against the sofa and played with his phone for a while before looking at the newspaper. He was injured now, and it was not convenient for him to move, so he could only recuperate obediently.

The old Daoist priest spent more than two hours cleaning the shop before sitting down in front of Zhou Ze. He massaged his waist and moaned,

“My waist is about to break.”

“Anyway, you’re already so old. It’s fine even if your waist is not good,” Zhou Ze teased.

The old Daoist priest said in an aggrieved manner, “It’s true that I’m old, but I’m still a spring silkworm. I’ll be reduced to ashes before I die. At this age, I’ll help a few women who have lost their legs.

Humans need to help each other in this world. ”

Zhou Ze could not be bothered with the old Daoist priest’s dirty talk. He turned his head and twisted his neck. He realized that the old woman was still standing there.

The old Daoist priest could not see her because he did not wipe the cow’s tears, so he did not know that there was a strange ghost standing inside the store.

As for Zhou Ze, to be honest, he had been distracted just now. After experiencing the temple god like Goddess Qing Yi and the huge problematic scene, Zhou Ze really could not say how much attention he paid to these small fishes and shrimps.

However, after a few hours, she was still around.

She still stood where she was and did not move. She only stared at the clock.

Could this old lady have been in the watch business when she was alive?

But that was not right either.

Zhou Ze’s clock only cost a few hundred yuan. It was cheap and not an antique. Was it worth looking at it for so long?

At that moment, Bai Yingying walked down. She had finished playing her game and looked happy. She had probably eaten chicken.

“Boss, shall we go up and sleep?”

Silly girl had always been this straightforward.

The old Daoist priest looked at Zhou Ze enviously.

He suddenly felt strange. Could it be that all the male ghosts that crawled out of hell had such luck with women?

When his previous boss opened a ghost shop in Chengdu, there were beautiful women who came to sleep with him on time every night. At that time, he and Xiaoqiang were really envious.

Xiaoqiang,

The old Daoist priest sighed.

“Yo, there’s another one standing here.”

Bai Yingying saw the old woman and walked over to her. She waved her hand. The old woman remained unmoved and continued to stare at the time.

“Hey, hey, hey, hey, look at me. If you don’t look at me, I’ll eat you.”

The whiteingale poked her head in front of the old woman, but she still did not react.

“Boss, was it you or Miss Tang who knocked her silly?”

“She’s been like this since she came in.”

Zhou Ze forced himself up and walked over with Bai Yingying’s help.

Right at this moment…

The hour hand guided the six o’clock position.

Dong… dong… dong… dong… dong… dong!

The clock began to ring.

The old woman, who had been in a daze earlier, suddenly opened her arms and let out a hysterical laugh, which shocked Zhou Ze.

Not frightened by a ghost.

It was purely the feeling of someone shouting at you from behind while you were walking.

“Hahahahaha, it’s time, it’s time!

I can die.

I can die.

I can finally die! ”

The old woman jumped around excitedly.

It was as if she had been freed.

He was as happy as a child in his seventies.

“Granny, do you have a bump on your head?” Bai Yingying was confused. “You’re already dead. Your soul has been out for a long time.”

The old woman heard this.

Suddenly, he was stunned.

She looked around in disbelief.

She should have realized that this was not her home.

This was an unfamiliar place.

An unfamiliar bookstore.

The old woman pointed at her face and looked at Bai Yingying in confusion.

“I died long ago?”

“Yes,” Bai Yingying said matter-of-factly.

The old woman suddenly fell to the ground.

She burst into tears.

“It’s too early to die. It’s over, it’s over!

Die early, die early.

It was over.

Damn it…”
