“Immortal Butcher Chicken Restaurant?”

The old Daoist was stunned for a moment, stifling a laugh, and answered in a falsetto voice,

“Already taking Tzu Maru pills!”

“…………” Old Zhang.

“Alright, the matter is over. Everyone should rest or tidy up. You all look like a bunch of battered soldiers, it’s infuriating.

I reckon that after this series of events, we should have some peace for a while.

Those lying in the pharmacy next door, transfer those who can be transferred, deal with those who can be dealt with. Let’s hurry up and restore the bookstore’s normal operation within three days!”

Lawyer An clapped his hands,

and began to preside over the closing stages.

Having just been “greeted” by the big boss,

he now felt full of energy.

Whether it was being a butler or a strategist, he felt a bright future ahead. He now had a sense of being in the Emperor's favor. If there really came a day when Hell changed color,

he, An Buqi,

might really become a Yama,

and then he wouldn't have to just pretend to have the King Equality's seal like he did back then, just to satisfy a craving.

The black cat entered the Yin-Yang Scroll, and Zhou Ze threw the scroll directly to the monkey, who was still on the roof beam, and only dared to slowly come down at this time.

Old Xu looked at it with some envy, but he could only borrow the black cat from the Yin-Yang Scroll from the monkey in a few days.

Immediately, Zhou Ze and Yingying went upstairs, and the others went to do their own things.

Old Zhang got up silently,

feeling a little lost.

He walked specifically to Lawyer An,

and asked:

“Is everything really over?”

“It’s over, it’s over.”

Lawyer An was discussing with the old Daoist about what type of flooring to replace, as the bookstore didn't suffer too much damage this time, except for the floor.

The old Daoist said it would be better to replace it with marble, which is easy to clean, or directly with tiles, which are bright.

Wooden floors are more classy, but they can't withstand a beating!

To put it nicely, this is a bookstore, but in reality, it’s not much different from a fighting arena!

The old Daoist’s aesthetic sense has always been quite high, but he has come to understand that there is no point in decorating it too well, as something always happens. He can’t possibly have a major renovation every now and then?

People who have actually done renovations at home know how tiring it is to renovate a house, to the point of being utterly exhausted!

If conditions didn't prevent it, the old Daoist really wanted to replace all the facilities in the bookstore, including pots and pans, with bulletproof ones.

“Let’s still replace it with wooden floors, just replace the damaged parts, so it will be faster. After a while, we will redecorate the internet cafe opposite, reduce the area, make an employee entertainment room, and modify the rest according to a more lived-in style.”

“Alright, alright.”

Old Zhang saw that they were discussing it so enthusiastically,

touched his head,

and turned to walk out of the bookstore.

Outside,

it was already dawn.

There were indeed many people on South Street.

Old Zhang got into his car,

looked at his face in the rearview mirror,

and hissed,

it's so swollen.

If it's so obvious, he'll have to take a leave of absence. Besides, he's a little tired too.

Old Zhang actually rented a house outside the police station. Sometimes when he was busy with work, he lived in the staff dormitory, and when he wasn't busy, he went back to his rented house.

It wasn't to deliberately take advantage of the government, but firstly, the conditions in the dormitory were generally average. Secondly, now that the bureau's conditions were better, the housing arrangements were also good, and many dormitories were vacated. Thirdly, sometimes staying in the dormitory was convenient for communicating information when handling cases.

Right now,

he was going to drive back to his rented house.

…………

After discussing the renovation and restoration issues for a long time,

the old Daoist poured himself a glass of water,

and pondered while drinking:

“Huh, why do I feel like I’ve forgotten something?”

Lawyer An was holding his Super Cup coffee and drinking,

and upon hearing this,

frowned and said:

“It seems like there was something important that I forgot to say, but I can’t remember it.”

“It’s okay, if you can’t remember it, it’s definitely not something important.”

…………

Tongcheng is located in the Yangtze River Delta region, and while it is densely populated, the population in its urban area is actually not very large. One reason is that it is adjacent to Shanghai, and the other is that the gap between urban and rural development in the Yangtze River Delta is not as large as in the southwestern region, so everyone's desire to "enter the city" is not so strong.

Therefore, even though it is now the morning rush hour, the traffic is not very congested.

Old Zhang yawned, holding the steering wheel. There was a large intersection ahead, and Old Zhang was going to turn right.

Unless there is a special sign, you don’t need to look at the traffic lights when turning right, but there was a three- or four-year-old child standing on the pedestrian crossing, looking around in a daze.

“Hey!”

Old Zhang immediately stopped the car, turned on the hazard lights, and opened the car door to get out.

At this moment,

the child didn't know what was happening,

and actually ran towards the pedestrian crossing on his own,

forgetting that it wasn't the pedestrian crossing's green light yet!

It just so happened that at this moment,

Old Zhang sensed a car accelerating behind him,

the green light in front had already turned yellow,

the guy behind wanted to run the yellow light!

In fact, in many places, running a yellow light will not result in points being deducted or a fine, but the purpose of the yellow light is to give a reaction time. If the car body has already crossed the line when the yellow light comes on, you can drive past normally, but if you haven't crossed the line, you have to slow down.

But the guy in the straight lane behind was accelerating to rush through,

to snatch these few tens of seconds,

was he in a hurry to be reincarnated!

Old Zhang cursed angrily in his heart,

because on the one hand, due to the car body blocking the view, the car behind accelerating to overtake couldn't see the situation next to it at all, and on the other hand, the child was running towards the pedestrian crossing.

Old Zhang’s head was filled with blood for a moment,

and he rushed over without hesitation.

At this moment,

he felt that he had used all the strength in his body.

Fortunately, this body was young,

and fast,

and had good explosive power.

Old Zhang rushed to the child’s side one step ahead, but at this moment, the car running the yellow light also arrived. Old Zhang didn't have time to think about anything else, and pushed the child in the other direction. The child fell to the ground, and Old Zhang had no chance to react in any other way.

“Bang!”

The sky spun,

the earth spun,

as if this world,

had switched to a shaking camera perspective,

and life had been put on slow motion.

“Thump!”

Old Zhang, who had been knocked away, fell to the ground, and his head landed first, making a muffled sound.

After rolling several times in a row,

at the forehead,

hot blood was already dripping down.

“Huff… huff…”

Pain,

it really hurt so much.

Old Zhang barely opened his eyes,

looking at the child sitting there crying on the pedestrian crossing,

the child was okay…

Then,

he only felt that his breathing seemed to become so clear, and his vision began to blur.

Old Zhang remembered hearing his boss say before what it felt like to die in a car accident,

and at the time, he thought it was quite interesting,

he really didn’t expect,

that he would have such a day.

With some nostalgia, he used his last strength to take a look at this world,

and Old Zhang slowly closed his eyes,

it was over,

it was all over…

No,

I have to take another look,

take another look at the city I protect, take another look at my hometown;

Old Zhang opened his eyes again with great effort,

and took another look at this world with great reluctance;

then,

he closed his eyes slowly and wearily.

Look again,

look again,

Old Zhang opened his eyes again,

and took another look at this world;

then he closed his eyes again,

then,

he opened his eyes again,

I can still keep looking,

I still want to keep looking,

huh?

I can actually still keep looking?

Old Zhang was lying there,

constantly opening his eyes,

opening his eyes,

there were many cars parked nearby, and many car owners were calling the police and 120, but no one dared to come over to help and see what was happening.

The driver of the car that caused the accident was a young man, who was sitting in the driver’s seat at this time, looking terrified, but he knew that this was a large intersection, and in full view of the public, even if he wanted to commit a hit-and-run, he didn’t have the chance, and he didn’t have the guts to commit a hit-and-run.

But looking at the person he had knocked away lying there,

he didn't have the courage to get out of the car to see what was happening,

his mind was completely blank.

Old Zhang kept opening his eyes to see the world,

until,

he himself was a little tired of looking…

Then,

Old Zhang felt that his head could move a little,

he could change the angle to look at the world,

at least,

let himself see which bastard knocked him away, right?

He turned his head,

his face covered in blood,

looking at the car that caused the accident.

The driver in the car that caused the accident saw the victim lying on the ground with his face covered in blood,

looking at him,

“Ahhhhhh!!!!”

The young man covered his face,

and screamed.

Old Zhang rested his chin on the ground,

he had looked,

and he should die now, right?

After all, he knew that just now, the other party’s car was accelerating, and this impact, how terrifying it would be, not to mention that his head landed first.

It’s just that,

when Old Zhang closed his eyes again,

he suddenly thought of his son,

he and his son had actually lost contact, after all, his current identity was too awkward, and he had also heard people in the bookstore say that after becoming a ghost, if you are too close to your direct relatives, it is likely to harm them.

But now,

he was going to die,

he always had to say goodbye to his son, right?

Old Zhang reached out to touch his cell phone,

but he couldn’t find it,

his cell phone, when he was knocked away,

had fallen a few meters away in front of him.

Old Zhang crawled towards there,

he had to get his cell phone,

he had to make a phone call,

crawling and crawling,

Old Zhang felt that his hands seemed to still be able to use some strength,

so he started crawling with his hands,

continuing to crawl and crawl,

Old Zhang found that his legs could also be used,

so he slowly used his legs to help crawl as well,

crawling and crawling,

Old Zhang found that his waist seemed to be able to exert force as well,

and he crawled even faster.

It was only seven or eight meters away,

Old Zhang went from lying down crawling to kneeling crawling, and then slowly developed,

this distance of a few meters,

Old Zhang seemed to have completed a history of human evolution,

when Old Zhang picked up his cell phone,

he was stunned to find,

that he had stood up.

Holding his cell phone in his hand,

Old Zhang wasn't in a hurry to make a phone call,

but instead, he looked around blankly,

swallowing nervously,

this was,

what was going on?
