Chapter 32: Zombies Keep Up with the Times
In the end, Grandma Hu still didn't say a word, and rubbed the kneecap she had just hit.
After that, it limped away.
Watching her gaunt disappear into the night, my temples ached a little.
The teddy puppy stopped yelling, and he obediently ran to the girl, his whole body pressed against her ankle.
The girl's mother looked at me like she was looking at a bad person.
It makes me feel bad.
I remember the time when I was a real estate agent, handing out flyers on the road every day under the big sun.
Not to mention the hard work, I can't stand the disdainful eyes of those uncles and aunts looking at me.
I have a sensitive personality by nature, and I am misunderstood and uncomfortable.
"Don't talk to people casually in the future, many people know people but don't know their hearts. In case you are taken away by the bad guys, where can Mom find you? ”
After saying that, she took the child and left.
The girl in the flower skirt turned around, smiled at me, and said goodbye. I waved at her, trying to squeeze a smile out of my face.
The little teddy followed them and ran away merrily.
Lying in bed at night, I flipped through the news on my phone.
Only then did I realize that there seemed to be several cases of missing persons in this neighborhood recently, all of them were children of a few years old, all of them were adults walking down the street, and they disappeared inexplicably.
Looking at the missing person notices on the pictures, the immature faces of the children in the photos, and the anxious looks of relatives and friends, I felt uncomfortable for a while.
I don't know if the disappearance of these children has something to do with Grandma Hu, but this possibility is entirely there.
Chef Zheng has become a "zombie", and "zombies" don't survive by eating people.
Also, all the children are lost, Grandma Hu is thin and small, and she can't move a normal person as big as me, but she has no problem taking away those children who are a few years old.
Although "Autumn Moon Eclipse List" didn't say that that thing was going to eat people, Lin Zhengying's "zombie" movies when he was a child were not for nothing.
If those children were all eaten by Chef Zheng, this Grandma Hu would be a murderer.
As for why Grandma Hu did this, the reason is actually very simple:
Her husband Zheng Chuzi died, and she had no children and no daughters, and she was very lonely in the world. That Zheng Dali didn't get along well with her again, found fault everywhere, and ran to the cold vegetable stall every now and then to make trouble.
I think maybe it's for this reason that she used this method to keep Chef Zheng.
Although Chef Zheng, who survived like this, had no consciousness, he could still move.
At first glance, there is no difference between him and a living person, and Grandma Hu will not be so lonely when she looks at him every day.
When people are old, they don't have any other desires if they don't seek wealth, and the only thing they are afraid of is loneliness.
That's what my grandmother said.
Grandma has children and grandchildren, and she is also afraid of loneliness, not to mention Grandma Hu, who came here from other places and has no relatives.
Therefore, it is logical that she can do such a thing.
It's just a little too cruel.
Putting the lives of others at risk for one's own selfishness, no matter what, is against the principles of heaven and humanity.
I thought that Zhang Ying's daughter was only five or six years old, so cute, she was the same age as Hua Guhua, and she died so tragically.
This is too unconscionable.
In my mind, the face of Zhang Ying's daughter appeared again for a while, and the girl in the flower dress just now came to mind.
The faces of the two children overlap from time to time.
They smiled at me, holding a marshmallow in their hands, and in a blink of an eye, the marshmallow melted and the girl's face was bleeding.
The girls began to cry in horror, and behind them, Chef Zheng, who was stiff, jumped up and down in a zombie costume in the style of a Qing Dynasty official.
And Grandma Hu was standing in the shadows staring at us, with a cold and strange smile on her face......
Lying in bed, I tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.
I kept telling myself that none of this had anything to do with me:
Tang Xiaofan, your own butt is bleeding, so don't treat other people's hemorrhoids.
Your dad is still lying in the hospital, and the daily cost is more than 10,000 yuan, and there are a lot of messes in this small store.
At present, you can only "seek stability", and you can't make extraneous branches.
What's more, the mother of the girl in the flower skirt doesn't want to see you, just now I obviously helped her, and she thought you were a bad person.
In that case, why should you be bored......
Although I thought so, when I closed my eyes, it was the same as those two girls.
The more I thought about it, the more uneasy I felt.
I don't know about it, but now I know that my daughter is in danger, how can I ignore it?
I just tossed and turned, and I couldn't sleep at all, so I simply got up and turned on the light.
I knocked on Liang Yuan's door and told him about it again.
In the last few days, accustomed to seeing these bizarre things, he seems to have become numb.
Yawning, he asked, "So, what are you going to do?" Call the police? ”
"What's the use of calling the police?" I found a stool and sat down:
"The police asked you what you were doing, what did you say? Did you tell the police that there is a zombie in Grandma Hu's house who wants to eat people, and those who are missing have been gnawed by Grandma Hu's husband. It is estimated that as soon as we finished speaking, we were directly sent to Jishan Psychiatric Hospital. ”
When I said this, Liang Yuan nodded again and again.
Also, this is the 21st century, and even zombie movies have declined.
Telling other people's police about this, it will only be regarded as gaining attention, in case it is photographed by good deeds and posted on the media, then I guess it will be popular.
Liang Yuan asked me: "Is the kimchi water of Grandma Hu's house really as good as you say?" ”
I nodded, "Yes." ”
"Then ......" Liang Yuan touched his chin and thought about it: "Tang Xiaofan, we have to get off the horse in this matter, the children are innocent, we can't let such a human tragedy happen again!" ”
He said it righteously, and of course I know his thoughts.
What Liang Yuan wanted was Grandma Hu's old salt water. With that thing, my "Old Tang Chicken Noodles" shop will be officially open for business.
The direction of this store is related to me and him, as well as the life and death of my father, and Liang Yuan's idea is very correct.
So I asked him, "So what are we going to do?" ”
He thought for a moment, took out his mobile phone and searched: "Peach wood sword, black dog blood, spirit rune, glutinous rice...... Tang Xiaofan, let's prepare according to what I said above, and go out when we are ready! ”
These things are all bridges in zombie dramas, it seems that Liang Yuan has searched a lot, but he has not come up with anything new.
I asked him, "It's been so many years, why are these things still here, this ...... Is it still workable? ”
"I guess so." Liang Yuan thought for a moment: "Zombies, can they still keep pace with the times?" Get a little more old guy, you should be able to handle it! ”
I sighed, and felt that he had a point.
However, the glutinous rice can be bought, and the black dog blood is a little troublesome, let Liang Yuan do it, and this guy should be able to handle it. It's the peachwood sword and spirit rune or something, where can I get it?
Hearing my question, Liang Yuan narrowed his eyes: "Tang Xiaofan, do you remember our old neighbor Wang Blind?" ”
