Hospital entrance newsstand owner was beaten and suffered a broken leg.

The police arrived, too.

And came to the hospital ward.

Three policemen,

Facing a small boy dressed in slightly oversized children's clothes with a "Blue Cat Naughty" cartoon on the chest.

From the pattern, you could tell how outdated the clothes were. The company seemed to be almost out of business. Last time Zhou Ze saw news about Blue Cat was a news report about its employees hanging banners to demand back pay.

The police were facing a child.

Zhou Ze could clearly see the forced twitching at the corner of one policeman's mouth.

According to the statement,

The newsstand owner said a five- or six-year-old child ran into the store, grabbed his foot, and threw him to the ground, lifting him up and slamming him down twice.

Then the child stepped on his foot, breaking it,

Clapped his hands,

And left.

The only eyewitness at the time was the victim, the newsstand owner, himself, and there was no surveillance footage.

The victim said the little boy had just bought a pack of fake cigarettes from him, so he came for revenge!

The police thought the complainant's brain seemed to have some problems because the cute, innocent-looking child in front of them didn't look like a thug at all.

Not to mention grabbing an adult's leg and throwing him around.

But the newsstand owner insisted in the hospital that he wasn't lying or exaggerating!

Not exaggerating?

Was this kid a jiangshi (Chinese hopping vampire)?

Had he watched too many Lam Ching-ying movies?

Lawyer An took out her credentials, handed out her business card, and settled the matter.

For the grassroots police, lawyers, especially those from law firms, were best avoided if possible. Besides, the complainant's statement was so…magical!

The police left.

Yingying took out the chicken soup.

Zhou Ze and Lawyer An leaned together, drinking the chicken soup.

Yingying stood by, helping Zhou Ze with the soup,

While the little boy sat on the chair by the window in the ward,

Looking out the window,

In the direction she had left.

Zhou Ze was numb to the little boy's "romantic" posture. Let him be.

After eating, Zhou Ze asked Yingying to arrange the discharge procedures in advance. They would be discharged tomorrow.

They had been in the hospital for a while, and it was time to go home.

An Straw Man left the ward at night to say goodbye to the "like-minded" director. When she came back, she looked a little melancholy. In Lawyer An's words, the director was a sentimental person, and chatting with her was not boring, but quite relaxing.

At first, they might have been like dry wood meeting a raging fire, but as they chatted, they suddenly realized that a simple relationship seemed more enjoyable, so they didn't mention anything about mating.

Too vulgar.

Zhou Ze's response to this was to turn up the volume of the news broadcast on TV.

The night passed without incident.

The next morning, when everyone was discharged from the hospital, Zhou Ze got in the car, only to find that it wouldn't start no matter what he did.

Perhaps he was too rushed when he parked the car at the hospital last time, and the car lights might not have been turned off. There was gas in the car, but the battery was dead, and the car wouldn't start.

Zhou Ze asked Yingying to borrow a battery from a nearby repair shop, opened the hood of the car, charged it for a while, and after starting the car, asked Yingying to return the battery.

And so,

The four of them finally embarked on the journey back.

Zhou Ze and Lawyer An drove all day to get back to Tong City, because both of them were a little weak, so they took turns driving.

When Zhou Ze was driving,

Lawyer An leaned against the little boy in the back for a nap,

When Lawyer An was driving, Zhou Ze rested on Yingying's lap.

When they arrived at the bookstore, it was already seven o'clock in the evening.

As soon as the car stopped,

They happened to see the old Taoist coming out of the bookstore with a large stack of photocopied papers, preparing to lock the door. Seeing that the boss was back, he didn't lock it.

When asked where he was going,

He said that the children in the mountain area were short of workbooks and had written to him, so he was going to photocopy some and send them over for the children to do their homework.

"This old guy's brain is waterlogged. The photocopying fee plus the express delivery fee is not as good as just buying ready-made ones… Ouch,

I say, boss, it wouldn't be…"

Zhou Ze was stunned for a moment,

Shaking his head, he said:

"Impossible."

If that was the case,

It would be too absurd.

The boss was back, but there was no welcome ceremony in the bookstore.

The strangest thing was that even the cook wasn't there. He had been thinking of having a good meal when he got home.

Taking out his phone, he called Old Xu, who said he was next door, and that Death Servant was carrying Hei Xiaoniu out to find soil and fertilizer.

Zhou Ze took a few steps outside.

From the layout,

The bookstore's left side was a pharmacy, which could also be considered Zhou Ze's property. To the right of the bookstore was a clothing store, but it had changed owners twice in the past two years. The brick-and-mortar clothing business was indeed not easy to do these years, and the rent here was high.

Lawyer An walked out with Zhou Ze, looked next door, and said somewhat exaggeratedly:

"Your suggestion?"

Zhou Ze shook his head.

"That's right, taking over the place next door, knocking it through, and planting vegetables. It sounds too exaggerated."

"It was your suggestion."

Zhou Ze suddenly said.

"What?" Lawyer An was taken aback.

"Didn't you say that when we got back, you would find a suitable and safe place for Hei Xiaoniu to plant manjusaka flowers for us? I found one for you."

"Wait, boss, wait a minute." Lawyer An pointed to her nose and said, "I pay for it?"

"Yes."

"Boss, this…"

"You should have enough money."

"But, this…"

"You're going to eat what's grown, too. In fact, if we're going to plant it, it must be under our noses, otherwise who has the time to keep an eye on it every day."

"Boss, you're already well-known for running a bookstore in this prime commercial area;

If I rent a big shop next door and do nothing but close the door and grow vegetables, wouldn't I be even more…"

"I asked, manjusaka flowers don't need light."

"Tsk…" Lawyer An hesitated for a moment, then nodded, agreeing.

She had the money; being a lawyer was really profitable.

Of course,

Many of those lawyers on Weibo who have lawyer certifications and like to be unconventional and make shocking remarks to gain attention are mostly poor.

Since Zhou Ze asked, Lawyer An agreed.

Making money was to make life more comfortable. It seemed nothing was more important than solving the problem of eating.

"But, Old Xu is still negotiating. Let me go take a look."

"Okay, then you go, boss, and I'll make myself a cup of coffee. It's been a long time since I've had one. I really miss it."

Watching Lawyer An's cheerful back,

Zhou Ze wanted to remind her that if she continued to drink it, she would soon get kidney stones.

But after thinking about it, he didn't say it.

It was like how many smokers didn't know that "smoking is harmful to health"?

Zhou Ze walked to the shop next door. The clothing store was still open, but there were not many customers. Zhou Ze walked in and circled around, but couldn't find Xu Qinglang.

Asking them if they had seen a very handsome man,

The shop assistants immediately remembered, saying that their boss and another boss who wanted to sublet the place had gone out together.

Old Xu lied to him?

The problem was that it was just next door.

He actually lied to him?

Was it because he thought that even if it was just a little distance next door, he would be too lazy to go and check?

Taking out his phone, Zhou Ze thought about it, but didn't continue to call.

Coincidentally,

Across the road, in front of the Internet cafe,

Qu Mingming and Qu Zhenzhen were standing there.

Qu Mingming's car seemed to have a problem, and the siblings were there looking at the car.

"I don't want to sleep with him."

The little boy appeared behind Zhou Ze at some point.

"Next time you walk, use a little strength, make a little noise, don't suddenly pop out and scare people."

Zhou Ze said unhappily.

The little boy nodded and took a few steps towards Zhou Ze,

One footprint at a time,

Sinking in.

"…" Zhou Ze.

"Forget it, just be normal, do whatever you like."

The little boy nodded again.

"You have to sleep with him for now. He needs to sleep with you."

Zhou Ze certainly knew what the little boy was talking about. Lawyer An now treated the little boy like a treasure.

"Let me sleep with him, okay, but I want to see her."

The little boy said.

"She's not her now, she's just a little girl who's not much older than you."

"If I can't talk, just a glance from afar is fine. I'll wait for her to wake up."

The little boy insisted.

"Then you go tell the person you're going to sleep with tonight, and let him take you to see her, otherwise you won't sleep with him."

The little boy's eyes lit up.

He felt that Zhou Ze's words made a lot of sense.

"You're back?"

At this time,

The Qu Mingming siblings across the street also saw Zhou Ze standing on the side of the road.

Zhou Ze greeted them with a smile.

Qu Zhenzhen walked over and touched the little boy's face, saying, "What a cute child."

The little boy was silent.

Zhou Ze remembered that Qu Zhenzhen had been scared by Yingying before.

If she knew that she had just touched a jiangshi (Chinese hopping vampire) that was even more terrifying than Yingying…

"I heard you were injured, I'll make a pot of medicinal cuisine for you tonight to replenish your qi and blood." Qu Mingming was very enthusiastic.

In fact, during this time, he had been wanting to repair his relationship with the bookstore, especially after overcoming his initial fear, this desire to repair the relationship became stronger and stronger.

Zhou Ze nodded and agreed.

Anyway, no one was cooking at home tonight.

That's not right,

Where was his cook?

Speak of the cook, and the cook appears.

Around the corner of the road ahead, a man and a woman came out.

The man, Zhou Ze recognized at a glance, was Xu Qinglang.

The woman, looked like she should be not young, thirty should be?

Old Xu was in love?

"You're disappointed."

The little boy said.

"Shut up."

"You really are disappointed."

"I'm punishing you with not being able to see her for a week."

The little boy shut up.

Old Xu's attention seemed to be completely drawn to the woman next to him, and he didn't even notice the familiar person standing in front of his bookstore.

After getting closer,

Zhou Ze's eyes suddenly narrowed.

That woman,

He saw her face clearly,

A very familiar appearance, seven points alike!

"Da Ji?"
