Chapter 252 I Forgot

Almost catatonic, Sun Kewang had his mouth stuffed with a rag again by Xu Qinglang, who then lit a cigarette and walked to the doorway, where Zhou Ze was already standing, puffing away.

"Unbelievable, just because of something like this, he actually killed his own mother.

The first walking corpse, nicknamed San'er in the village, was very helpful. He even helped with that matter, helping this Sun guy kill his mother. What a great guy in the village."

"What's so unbelievable?" Zhou Ze flicked his cigarette ash. "Isn't this normal? You think only wealthy families care about their reputation?"

"What?"

"In ancient royal families, they could do anything to cover up their scandals. Murder is just child's play. But that can be excused, at least we can understand it.

But in reality, the smaller the family, the more it cares about its facade, even if outsiders don't think it has one. The more backward the place, the more it cares about these rules.

In China, even now, there are still many places where women can't eat at the table, especially when guests come. A woman who is obedient and sensible is considered a matter of pride.

His mother's pregnancy, for Sun Kewang, was no less than a taint on his 'royal bloodline.' It might not seem like much to you, an outsider, but from his perspective, it could make him a laughingstock in the village, affecting his prestige and dignity in the village.

Because his whole life is only the size of the village, his sky is only as big as the top of this village."

"You can understand?"

"I can't understand, but I can get used to it. Don't forget how Yingying died. Wasn't it because she went on a date with a poor scholar and was drowned in a pig cage when her family found out?

Wasn't it all for the sake of family reputation and face? Tell me, is there any essential difference between these two things?"

"Let's put that aside for now. There's one thing I've been wondering about."

"Speak."

"How did that old man Cui shoot you with a crossbow last night? I remember, you have a set of armor, right?"

Zhou Ze was stunned when he heard this, and his expression became a little strange.

"What's wrong?" Xu Qinglang pressed.

"I have to think about how to catch that zombie tonight, and that corpse fetus. If that old woman eats it, the problem will become even more difficult than before."

"Hey, don't change the subject." Xu Qinglang didn't let go.

"You're so annoying."

"Answer my question. How embarrassing is it for a dignified ghost messenger to be taken down by an ordinary person with a crossbow from an amusement park?"

"How could I have imagined that after throwing an axe, he could still pull out a crossbow?"

"And then?"

"And then..."

Zhou Ze reached out and touched his forehead.

"It seems like I've been in the sun too much lately, and I've been a salted fish for too long. I forgot that I actually have armor on me."

"..." Xu Qinglang.

"Okay, stop dwelling on this issue. If you keep dwelling on it, I'll feel even more like a fool last night."

Xu Qinglang walked up to Zhou Ze, suddenly grabbed Zhou Ze's neck with both hands, and said fiercely:

"In other words, if you hadn't been shot by that crossbow yesterday, they wouldn't have been able to escape, and our business could have been over today!

We're still stuck here now, the zombie and Old Man Cui haven't been caught yet, and we have to keep dragging our feet here, racking our brains. The root cause,

is because you forgot your own ability?"

"Let go, Lao Xu, let go."

At first, Zhou Ze thought Xu Qinglang was just joking, but he didn't expect the other party's grip to become stronger and stronger, choking him so hard that he could barely breathe.

In an instant,

a black ripple began to emanate from Zhou Ze's body, and a set of mysterious and majestic black knight armor emerged, protecting his neck.

Zhou Ze felt his neck loosen, and Xu Qinglang's strength was greatly dispersed by the armor.

Xu Qinglang then withdrew his hand, found a stool to sit down, and supported his face with both hands, saying apologetically:

"I'm sorry, I got emotional. I feel a little sad when I think of the family that died last night.

Sun Kewang deserves to die, but he didn't. However, the ones who shouldn't have died the most were his wife and son.

If we don't solve that zombie tonight, people in the village might continue to die. I don't think Old Man Cui can control that zombie, even if that zombie was his lover in her previous life."

Zhou Ze let out a long sigh, and the armor on his body slowly receded.

"Don't worry, there won't be any more problems tonight. I'm going back to bed for a while, and call me when it's evening. Also, Lao Xu, have you been secretly going to the gym lately? Your grip has gotten stronger."

After saying that,

Zhou Ze turned and walked towards the bedroom.

Xu Qinglang sat alone on the stool,

He let go of the hands covering his face,

and looked at his palms with some horror.

Just now,

that violent killing intent seemed uncontrollable. It was an instinctive impulse rising from within, a desire to completely trample on the life that could be killed in front of him.

………………

Night fell,

Perhaps because spirit money was burned, the news of the death in Sun Kewang's family hadn't spread yet. In addition, the villagers lived scattered, and Sun Kewang usually associated with some cronies and friends. Therefore, he hadn't appeared in the village for a day, and no one thought to check on him.

Therefore, tonight, the theme of the village was still peace and quiet.

Sun Kewang was tied to the locust tree by Zhou Ze, with something still stuffed in his mouth.

Zhou Ze himself was standing below, leaning against the locust tree. He was waiting, waiting for the old woman from last night to come out again.

Turned into a zombie, the hatred from her previous life combined with the impulse to avenge her blood relatives, the old woman had an uncontrollable obsession with killing her son.

She will come,

she will definitely come.

Zhou Ze used his fingernails to make several cuts on Sun Kewang's body, and blood kept dripping down, not enough to kill him, but it was like releasing blood to attract sharks.

Xu Qinglang stood beside him, his face looking a bit gloomy in the night.

In the second half of the night,

the wind slowly picked up.

From the distant vegetable field, a hunched figure walked over. Old Man Cui walked over alone, stopping less than ten meters away from Zhou Ze.

This time, he didn't bring an axe, nor did he have a crossbow on his back.

This made the Boss Zhou a little disappointed. He really hoped that Old Man Cui would shoot a few more arrows at him, and then the armor on his body would perfectly block the attacks, so he could regain his honor from yesterday.

But Old Man Cui's stance today was almost like holding up a white flag.

"Let's talk."

Old Man Cui looked at Zhou Ze and said calmly.

"It doesn't seem like there's anything to talk about." Zhou Ze shook his head. "Have you trapped that old woman? But how long can you trap her? She can't help it. Believe me, there aren't many people in this world who know more about zombies than I do."

"Let, let her kill him."

Old Man Cui pointed at Sun Kewang, who was hanging on the tree, and continued:

"He deserves to die."

Zhou Ze didn't speak, waiting for Old Man Cui to continue.

"Let her fulfill her wish, and then our family will solve it ourselves. I've prepared the firewood pile, and I've prepared the gasoline. I've been waiting for this day."

"That corpse fetus, it really is your daughter."

"I hate having these yin-yang eyes, I'd rather I could stay confused forever!" Old Man Cui roared with a ferocious expression, "But I can see, I saw it, I saw our daughter crying alone at the grave, I saw her crying down there.

I wish she had died of illness, I wish she had died of illness!"

People often say that the human world seems beautiful, but at least, it has a "seemingly." Zhou Ze actually felt that ghosts were just tearing away the hypocrisy and disguise of society, revealing the most essential side of human nature.

He could understand Old Man Cui's feelings, and could even empathize with him.

"You can call the police."

"Call the police? Tell the police that I can see ghosts? Tell the police that his dead mother told me that he killed her?"

Old Man Cui asked back with a smile.

"Let me through."

Old Man Cui said to Zhou Ze.

At the same time,

a figure crawling on the ground appeared behind Old Man Cui. Beside that figure, the little girl stood there blankly. She was the most confused and the most ignorant.

The wound on the old woman's chest was still clearly visible, which made her slow today, but the hatred in her eyes was still so strong, especially when she saw her son hanging on the tree.

Your enemy is ready to surrender, they are ready to end themselves after fulfilling their last wish.

Suddenly,

Zhou Ze felt that this was so boring. His punch, which he had been preparing to wash away his shame from last night, had all become useless.

"I'm sorry, it's my duty. I can't watch you kill someone."

Zhou Ze took the initiative to walk forward.

"Do you have to be so pedantic?"

Old Man Cui looked at Zhou Ze, who was constantly approaching, and gritted his teeth, "I can still control her now. Once I die first or she escapes, what kind of trouble will it be? Don't you understand?"

"It's also my duty, sorry."

Saying that,

Zhou Ze raised his fist and punched Old Man Cui.

Old Man Cui took Zhou Ze's punch and staggered back two steps, but he subconsciously kicked Zhou Ze. Zhou Ze didn't dodge, and the kick directly hit Zhou Ze's calf.

"Ouch..."

Zhou Ze fell to the ground with a groan, clutching his chest, looking like he was in great pain and severely injured.

"..." Old Man Cui.

"..." Xu Qinglang.

Xu Qinglang walked over at this time, looked at Zhou Ze on the ground, and whispered a reminder: "He kicked your leg, you're clutching your chest."

Zhou Ze glared at Xu Qinglang and explained in a very exaggerated manner:

"This old man has such profound internal strength!"
