CHAPTER XXVI
According to the Jianghai Evening News (a local newspaper in Tongcheng), seven people were killed in the movie theater fire, and more than 30 people were injured to varying degrees.
A week has passed, the cinema has been closed, and it is impossible to reopen it again in a short time, and it is even likely that this cinema will be abandoned, and it will naturally reopen without much fanfare.
As a result, this commercial center group has basically been declared completely dead.
During this time, Zhou Ze did not contact Dr. Lin again, and both sides maintained a tacit understanding of not interfering with each other, and each lived their own lives, but his father-in-law and mother-in-law called several times and asked why Zhou Ze didn't go home and get fat.
Zhou Ze later simply blocked their phone.
Now it's a headache that the money to open this bookstore comes from his father-in-law's family, and he eats other people's soft mouths and soft hands, but Zhou Ze still hasn't been able to think of what method to use to make some money, so that he can reopen a store for real independence.
It can only be said that the basic plate left by Xu Le for himself is too poor.
However, several media contacted him, hoping to interview Zhou Ze for his righteous and courageous deeds and promote the positive energy of the new era, but Zhou Ze chose to refuse.
He has no interest in making this name, as the saying goes, his identity and role, if he really makes himself a celebrity, there will be more uncontrollable dangers.
This week, the business was mediocre, the daily sales were less than 100, and the cost of rent, utilities and bills were not enough, but Zhou Ze didn't care much about these.
What he cares about is that Xu Qinglang next door hasn't opened for a week.
Zhou Ze asked an unscrupulous locksmith to help open the lock, went in and looked for it, but didn't find anything like sour plum juice, and the kitchen in the back room was cleaned up and very tidy.
Very helpless,
A man who owns more than two dozen apartments and is very beautiful,
If he suddenly sees through the red dust one day and plans to pursue a chic,
You're really hard to find him.
Because of this, Zhou Ze had a hard time this week.
chili oil
aged vinegar,
dark soy sauce,
Methods such as high-concentration orange juice have been tried, although they can make themselves eat some meals, but they have made themselves miserable, which is far worse than the sour plum juice handed down by Xu Qinglang's family.
At night, Zhou Ze squatted alone at the door of the bookstore, holding a cigarette in his mouth, glancing at the next door from time to time, and he had a feeling of desolation in life.
On the side of the road in front of the store, there are four or five pagoda incense sticks burning, which are made by people on the other side of the mall.
What if, a miracle happens?
Occasionally, Zhou Ze would look behind him or look at the glass in front of him,
The black suit man's ghost is constantly improving, and tonight is his first seven, so it should be about the same.
The transformation of the ghost is a probability that is too small to be small, and besides, at most, ordinary ghosts can make you walk, fall, eat, bite your tongue and the like, which can make you have a minor illness and hang up for two days is a great ghost trick.
Similar to the kind of ghosts in the movie who are rampant and kill people everywhere, it is impossible to happen in reality, otherwise this yang world would have been chaotic a long time ago.
Even Zhou Ze, who has borrowed the corpse to resurrect his soul, is already so low-key,
Those scum who don't even have a physical body dare to come out and pretend to be forced?
This week, when he was fine, Zhou Ze looked at the book, was in a daze, trimmed his nails, and by the way, he saw if the ghost behind him had become clearer again.
Quite a ...... The feeling of cultivation has experienced a handful of fatherly love like a mountain.
Daddy loves you,
Daddy is waiting for you to grow up.
Zhou Ze could clearly perceive the emotions of the person behind him, his greatest hatred was not aimed at the cause of the fire, but at himself, he was resentful, he was angry, he was looking forward to it, he was waiting,
maybe
In his opinion, tonight's first seven days were his time for revenge.
Due to the lack of Siting,
Zhou Ze shook the ash of his cigarette, and after he took shape, Zhou Ze would tell him why the flowers were so red.
When it comes to saving people, Zhou Ze doesn't feel that he has done anything wrong, and he doesn't think there's anything wrong with the man in the suit hating him.
In the past, Zhou Ze had encountered a similar incident, a person drowned, and someone went down to save him, but the person who saved the person was grabbed by the drowning person, and then drowned together.
Generally speaking, when you go into the water to save someone, you have to carry him from behind to rescue, if you go up from the front to save someone, it is easy to be clung to the drowning person as the last straw.
Of course, understanding can be understood,
But understanding will not be the reason why Zhou Ze allowed the man in the suit to be presumptuous in his bookstore at twelve o'clock tonight.
During the day, Zhou Ze ordered a takeaway, chatted with the new takeaway brother, and learned that the takeaway brother who saved people last time has become popular recently, not only attended various award receiving activities, but also was praised and rewarded by the company, and now has a nickname - "the most handsome courier brother". Now he is still delivering takeaways, and he is delivering takeaways while live broadcasting, and his popularity is very high.
Zhou Ze, who was eating while pouring old vinegar, casually swiped Weibo, and there was actually the takeaway brother in the hot search column.
It has been a week since the incident, from the beginning of the processing and summary, to the current development and promotion of positive energy, it is at a time when the topic is the hottest and the highest, and the influence of this matter is not only in Tongcheng, but also spread throughout the country.
At eleven o'clock in the evening, Zhou Ze watched the man in the suit slowly become more solid while watching the movie, the name of the movie is "Magic Police", which is the work of the recently famous director Lin Chaoxian in previous years, starring Wu Yanzu and Zhang Jiahui.
The door of the bookstore was pushed open, and the delivery guy in a delivery suit walked in while holding a selfie stick.
"This is a bookstore that I often come to, and I come to this store every day after delivering takeout, not for any knowledge, but for the simple pleasure of reading."
After speaking, the takeaway brother took down a copy of Wen Tiejun's "Eight Crises" from the bookshelf.
This book is about China's economic crises in modern times, and the takeaway brother spread out the book, sat on the plastic bench himself, and read it with relish.
Zhou Ze remembered that the last time he came, he watched two parts of "Breaking the Sky".
"Okay, that's all for today's live broadcast, I want to read quietly for a while, and everyone should rest early, thank you for your company for a day." The delivery boy bowed to the screen of his phone.
A bunch of cards and airplanes and rockets were swiped out on the mobile phone screen, and the popularity was indeed terrifying.
turned off the mobile phone, the takeaway brother closed the "Eight Crises" in his hand, stretched his waist, looked at Zhou Ze, and said:
"Boss, let's go out for a supper, I'll have a treat."
Zhou Ze shook his head and pointed to the computer screen in front of him.
"What are you looking at?" The takeaway brother approached, looked at the screen and said with a smile: "I've seen this movie, "Demon Police", right?" ”
"Hmm." Zhou Ze nodded, and at the same time looked at the time in the lower right corner of the screen, it was almost twelve o'clock.
The baby behind him was already a little impatient.
"No reporters interviewed you?" The takeaway guy asked.
Zhou Ze shook his head.
"Actually, you should be interviewed, so that your bookstore business can be much better."
"I like to be quiet." Zhou Zeyan insincerely pretended to be a force.
Money is important, life is even more important.
"Let's watch this movie later." The takeaway brother seems to be very attached to Zhou Ze, after all, he is a companion who rushed into the fire to save people together.
some
Let's take pity on each other.
"Do you know, "Demon Police" is based on a real case, and the original realistic protagonist seems to be called Xu Bugao." Zhou Ze said.
"Hey, I really don't know that." The takeaway guy smiled a little shyly, "It's just a movie, who pays attention to this." ”
"Well, that's right." Zhou Ze turned off the computer and stretched, "It's so late, what do you want to eat?" ”
"Whatever."
"Then I'll order some takeout."
"No, go out to eat, I'm in for a treat, what's the good thing to take, let me tell you, the back kitchens of some stores can't be seen at all, and some businesses don't even have physical stores, so they rent a broken house and do it themselves, tsk, I don't dare to eat anyway."
"I see." Zhou Ze nodded, "By the way, do you know what happened to Xu Bugao?" ”
"Didn't I know if you said it?"
"I killed my colleagues, swallowed money, and then I was dashing, and I also participated in TV shows, and I like to be in the limelight and be famous." Zhou Ze touched the tip of his nose, "A very complicated person, he enjoys the feeling of being photogenic." ”
The takeaway brother was silent for a while, and did not continue the topic, but said, "Boss, are you going to have supper?" ”
"I don't want to go, you don't look at how many pagoda incense sticks are in front of my store, I've smoked it for a day, and I've lost all my appetite."
Pagoda incense is the kind of big incense candle that is taller than ordinary people, layered like a pagoda, very thick, and can burn for a long time.
"Hehe, you don't have any taste in this shop at all." The takeaway brother pointed to the central air conditioner above Zhou Ze's bookstore, "Here, it should be an air purifier, right?" ”
"Well, it's installed with the air conditioner, and I used to spray some fragrance in the bookstore, after all, to create an atmosphere of reading, no, no coffee or pastries, only to provide some good taste."
"So, boss, you still don't give me this face." The takeaway brother deliberately pretended to be angry and said, "We can be regarded as having experienced life and death together." ”
Zhou Ze raised his hand and said curiously: "So, I've always been curious about one thing. ”
"What's the matter?"
"That day, I didn't smell anything at all, and in my shop, it's hard to smell anything else, almost impossible, how did you smell the fire that day?"
The takeaway brother was stunned for a moment, his face was a little unnatural, but he didn't take it seriously, and said: "It's good that my nose is small, my grandmother said that I am a dog's nose, and when I was a child, I was looking for snacks hidden at home, but I was allowed." ”
"Do you know what day it is?" Zhou Ze asked again.
"What day?"
"The first seven."
"The first seven?"
"Yes, the seven people who died in the fire...... First Seven! ”
