Chapter 29 Barbecue Stall

There weren't many people left at the rooftop barbecue stand.

Those who hadn't found anyone or paired up were too lazy to keep catching the cold wind on the roof and went down to find somewhere warmer.

Lawyer An continued to drink his beer,

Drinking and drinking,

Looking around,

He noticed a girl sitting by the barbecue stand, toasting slices of mantou (steamed bun).

He didn't know when she had arrived; Lawyer An hadn't seen her at first.

The girl was wearing a pink down jacket, petite in stature, with delicate features. She sat there concentrating on flipping the mantou slices, then carefully picked one up, blew on it,

Opened her pearly teeth slightly, and took a bite,

Eating with a satisfied smile,

So adorable.

Seeing this scene,

Lawyer An swallowed subconsciously,

He was indeed hungry,

But not for mantou slices.

Before coming to the Late Night Bookstore, Lawyer An's life had also been quite indulgent, and he had never hidden his indulgence.

However, he wasn't as down-to-earth in his indulgence as Lao Dao.

Back then, it was because he couldn't sleep or eat, so he was venting there. But now that the problems of eating and sleeping were solved, he had become even more picky in that area.

Ordinary women no longer caught his eye.

Fortunately, Lao An had been in the dating scene for a long time and wasn't a newbie. If you ignored the injuries beneath his clothes, he was at least presentable in appearance. Many girls nowadays liked the uncle vibe of someone like Wu Xiubo.

The father of this body had initially seduced a rich young lady and was then "murdered," so it was a good inheritance.

Lawyer An looked at his watch,

Took a deep breath,

A little nervous,

Slightly anxious,

Even for a veteran of the dating scene,

Thinking about not only successfully asking her out but also making her willing to give him an Amitabha (Buddhist blessing),

He felt it was quite a challenge,

But the more it was like this, the more exciting and eager he felt.

He got up and sat down next to the girl.

The girl glanced at Lawyer An, pointed to the mantou slices on the barbecue grill, and asked cutely:

"Do you want some?"

Lawyer An nodded.

The girl took a plastic plate, put a mantou slice on it, and handed it to Lawyer An.

Lawyer An picked it up directly with his hand, put it to his mouth, took a bite, and chewed slowly.

"Is it good?"

"It's good. I remember when I was a kid back in China, my grandma would make some mantou snacks every year."

The girl shrugged and continued eating her own.

"Where are you from?" Lawyer An asked.

"Guess?"

"Hangzhou."

After saying that, Lawyer An secretly put the girl's wallet back into her pocket.

"Wow, how did you guess that? So accurate?"

The girl was very surprised.

"I can hear it in your accent. Maybe because I've been abroad for a long time, I've lost my accent, but I can still hear it. I grew up in Hangzhou."

"Then we're fellow townsmen? What a coincidence."

"Yes, a coincidence."

"Are you in Lijiang for fun or on business?"

"For fun, to relax, and also to bring some of my employees here to investigate some projects."

The starry sky was beautiful,

The mantou snacks were fragrant,

Lawyer An chatted with the girl sentence by sentence,

Although Lao An's illusion skills were top-notch, he never used them when dealing with women. It was pointless and too base. He liked this kind of technical work; it was fulfilling and tasted good.

Their relationship quickly warmed up,

The atmosphere became increasingly harmonious,

About fifteen minutes later,

The girl was already holding Lawyer An's hand and writing in his palm, very affectionately.

"Have you guessed it yet?"

The girl asked.

Lawyer An shook his head, but with a smile. He liked this very pure feeling, which made him feel young again.

The girl wrote it again,

"Have you guessed it this time?"

"It doesn't look like a word, more like a character."

"Well, I'll write it again."

The girl carefully wrote it again,

Lawyer An liked her naive appearance.

"What is it?" The girl looked up at Lawyer An, and the two faces were unknowingly very close.

The atmosphere was filled with something called "ambiguity," everywhere was an aura calling for "Viagra."

"7…………"

"It's 7k."

"Hmm? Hmm?"

Lawyer An was stunned for a moment, what did that mean?

The girl pointed her finger at Lawyer An's lower lip and said:

"7k a time, all-night is extra."

"…………" Lawyer An!!!

………………

The hostel owner was alone in his room. The hostel had a basement storage room that he had converted into his bedroom. It had no windows, a bit stuffy and depressing, but he liked it very much.

At this moment,

He was sitting alone on the bed,

Holding a guitar in his hand,

He was currently in a state of ecstasy, his whole being as if floating into the clouds.

As if he had returned to the past, when everything was so beautiful, both in his career and in love, so reluctant and reminiscent.

His fingers plucked the strings,

He couldn't restrain the excitement and trembling in his body,

Following the melody he played, he began to sing:

"Running with the wind, freedom is the direction, chasing the power of thunder and lightning…………"

Singing emotionally,

Releasing the uncontrollable excitement in his mind and body,

But at this moment,

He suddenly saw a figure walking out on the wall,

Wearing dirty old armor, holding a rusty, chipped horse knife, and beneath the helmet was a pale skull.

The hostel owner laughed,

He wasn't afraid at all,

This powder was really good,

It was giving him hallucinations,

He jumped up,

And began to play and sing more passionately to the "person" in front of him,

Even actively leaning forward and backward, shaking his body,

Wanting to interact with them!

He was passionate, he was high-pitched, he cheered, he rejoiced!

The skeleton knight seemed stunned for a moment,

His green pupils staring at the man singing wantonly on the bed.

The hostel owner seemed to dream back to the years when he formed a band and sang in a large bar,

Screaming at the skeleton knight in front of him:

"Come on, put your hands up, let me see you wave your hands!"

The skeleton knight raised his hand,

In his hand,

He was still holding a knife.

"Aww!!!!!!!!!”

The hostel owner was even more excited,

This dream, this hallucination,

He liked it!

It was flavorful, it was powerful, he was having a blast!

In fact,

He really exploded,

Because the skeleton knight raised his hand and then waved it down,

The blade sliced through,

"Poof!"

He,

Exploded...

………

"Run!"

The woman shouted.

Zhou Ze narrowed his eyes,

Leaned forward,

And asked:

"Are you saying that something is chasing you?"

Things seemed to be connected,

Because he hadn't turned off his phone,

This local female ghost messenger from Lijiang had navigated to the wrong place,

The place she was originally supposed to go, according to the plan, had a Constable Chen who had already set up a formation to receive her.

"Yes, so, run, I'm leaving first, you guys leave quickly too."

The woman's words were not fake, and you could see a little bit of sincerity, as if she didn't want Zhou Ze and others to suffer.

"We paid the room fee, how can we leave?"

Zhou Ze looked at the woman and continued:

"Since something is chasing you, either you did something, or you took something out."

Boss Zhou's fingers stroked.

The woman didn't hesitate at all, reached into her arms, and took out a green stone the size of an egg. It didn't look like jade, because the stone wasn't that transparent.

"Do you want this?"

"What is this?" Zhou Ze asked.

"I can give it to you."

Saying that,

The woman threw the green stone directly to Zhou Ze,

Zhou Ze reached out and caught it, the stone was very cold.

"Can I leave now? Or, you can search me again."

Zhou Ze looked at the woman with some doubts,

Were the local ghost messengers in Lijiang so simple and obedient?

This was very inconsistent with the national work style of ghost messengers.

What she did,

Made Zhou Ze a little embarrassed,

Especially when she told everyone to run earlier,

It did have a bit of sincerity.

Boss Zhou had always treated people with respect, so he weighed the green stone in his hand a few times, preparing to throw it back to the woman.

"I don't want…………"

But at this moment,

Zhou Ze frowned,

Put his nose to the stone,

And took a deep breath,

A green light was sucked into Zhou Ze's nose from the stone.

"Hiss………… Hoo………………”

Zhou Ze showed an enjoyable expression,

Took a long breath,

And praised in surprise:

"So fragrant!"

The woman looked at Zhou Ze with a "ghostly" expression,

Seeming a little surprised that Zhou Ze dared to directly suck the things in the stone into his body, she knew what this was.

Just as Zhou Ze was looking intoxicated,

Yingying pointed to the boss,

And said:

"Boss, your face."

Zhou Ze was a little puzzled,

"What's wrong?"

"You've turned green, boss."

Zhou Ze lowered his head and looked at his arms again, and found that the skin on his arms also showed a dark cyan luster, as if he had been poisoned.

No,

It wasn't poisoning,

But it was poisoning,

In this stone,

Hidden,

Was corpse poison!!!

And it was corpse poison that made him feel comfortable,

Zhou Ze threw the stone to Yingying,

Yingying reached out and caught it.

"Take a breath."

Zhou Ze said.

Yingying was very obedient, she did whatever the boss told her to do, put the stone in front of her nose, and took a breath.

"Hiss………… Wow…………"

Yingying's body trembled,

The skin of the originally fair female zombie also showed a cyan color.

The woman knelt on the ground,

Looked at Zhou Ze sitting there, and then at Bai Yingying next to her,

With a feeling that her worldview had been subverted.

"So cool, boss!"

"Yeah, cool, right."
