“Didn't you tear your face off and feed it to the dogs?”

Zhou Ze retorted in his mind.

“Watch…the…gate…dog…”

“I'm tired of hearing that. Didn't you hear my maid say, who exactly is whose dog between us?

"Oh, that's right, something's not right this time. Didn't you used to have to rest for half a month after coming out once before? How many days has it been, and you're already popping up?”

“Your…body…stronger…”

“Usually, women lying in bed say things like that to men.”

Over there,

Silence.

Zhou Ze didn't dare to continue provoking him,

What if he completely blew up Ying Gou,

And took himself with him for seppuku?

That would be a big joke.

A while ago in Sichuan, the little boy took advantage of Ying Gou's slumber and chatted with Zhou Ze about what happened back then, saying that Ying Gou forced him to kill himself.

Zhou Ze was terrified when he heard that; he never knew he was in such danger!

However, to Zhou Ze's surprise, Ying Gou seemed to have directly filtered out the previous teasing and didn't seem angry at all;

He said directly:

“That…bead…let…the…cook…go…find…”

“So, it really was something left by that old man? What exactly is he?”

What kind of 'ghost' the old man was, was something Zhou Ze had always been curious about.

“Spirit…of…artifact…”

“A spirit of an artifact? Can a spirit of an artifact be so powerful?”

The fact that the old man could come back after being killed and that he had always been troubled by the fact that he could never die actually explained some things.

For example,

His life,

Wasn't actually his own at all,

His disappearance and appearance,

Were not controlled by himself.

“Immortal…artifact…”

“Immortal artifact!”

Zhou Ze silently repeated these two words in his heart.

The word 'Immortal,' Zhou Ze has come into contact with a lot recently. Anything that is even slightly related to it is very special and very scary.

“That Li Xiucheng and that Madam Bai almost caused me to collapse.”

Zhou Ze remembered that incident,

He had to talk to Ying Gou about it.

You arranged so many figurines in the depths of your soul,

But when you were asleep, the figurines actually wanted to rebel.

You have to take the blame for this.

“I…said…why…so…many…mountains…”

“That old man, didn't you see what he was last time?”

“See…it…what…can…I…do?”

At that time, you were as big as an ant. What other thoughts could you have?

This sentence wasn't said, but the meaning was understood by everyone.

“But I have to recuperate for a while. This time everyone suffered heavy losses and needs some time to recover.”

“A…pile…of…trash…”

Of all the people in the bookstore,

Ying Gou only took a fancy to one,

And that was Lao Dao (Old Taoist).

Even Zhou Ze wasn't included,

Because Zhou Ze was a "watchdog,"

Not a person.

In Ying Gou's opinion,

Zhou Ze was afraid of being poor,

So he always had the habit of picking up trash and bringing it home.

“You continue to rest. Should I go to Sichuan to find the person who hurt you the most first,

Or should I look for the old man's things first?”

“Si…chuan…”

“Okay, but I still have to wait until I'm rested, otherwise it won't be convenient for you, and it won't be convenient for me.”

“Can…”

“Then you continue to sleep.”

Zhou Ze opened his eyes,

Reached out and gently picked up Yingying's hair,

Stroking it between his fingers.

Madam Bai was indeed good to Yingying, at least, she was good before she used her;

That's why she was so beautiful, perfect and exquisite in every way.

“Oh, right.”

Zhou Ze suddenly thought of something and asked:

“Who's taking care of that fox?”

“Lin Ke sent it home. It's not in the bookstore.”

………………

Next to the sofa in the living room, there was an extra cardboard box with a blanket underneath, and a white fox was lying inside.

Wang Ke was sitting on the sofa,

Watching TV.

His daughter was at the bookstore and hadn't come home yet, saying she wanted to play there for a few days. Wang Ke agreed.

Their father-daughter relationship was often a hidden understanding between the two, and they would both be tolerant and cooperative, but they couldn't force it.

Wang Ke understood this very well.

His wife had already taken a shower and gone upstairs to sleep. She seemed to have a bit of a cold.

In the living room,

Only Wang Ke and the fox.

The fox was sent back by his daughter, and she left after sending it back.

But obviously,

Although his daughter didn't say it, she certainly didn't send a wild animal back on purpose.

Moreover,

Although this fox didn't know why it was still unconscious, its fur was bright and it was really cute. It would be really hard to skin and gut it.

Wang Ke's wife was a person who liked to raise small animals. When they were first together, they had a golden retriever. The golden retriever died later, and they were both sad for a long time.

People who have really raised pets and not just played around probably have this experience. After raising a pet for many years, it really isn't much different from a family member.

And pets generally have much shorter lifespans than humans, so when they die, it's really like a member of their family has passed away.

Only those who have experienced it can understand the pain. Later, they became even more afraid to raise pets.

However,

Wang Ke was very surprised that

His wife didn't seem to be very interested in this fox.

She just glanced at it a few times and didn't care about it anymore.

Wang Ke did all the work of setting up the box and blanket himself.

The late-night news was playing on the TV.

While watching the news, Wang Ke would occasionally glance at the box next to him.

Foxes usually have a smell, and most animals have a smell, but this one was different. Not only did it not have a bad smell, but it also emitted a sandalwood-like fragrance, which smelled quite nice.

Wang Ke picked up the remote control and changed a few channels. He originally wanted to take a shower and go to bed later, but he became more and more energetic the longer he sat. He had no choice but to go to his office, grab a few medical records, and walk back to the living room, holding a pen in his hand, and continue working.

He looked and looked,

Not knowing how long he had been looking,

Wang Ke stretched,

Leaning back,

He slowly fell asleep.

He had a very beautiful dream,

In the dream,

He found himself lying in a place with blooming mountain flowers,

Flowing water, butterflies, and falling petals,

It was truly a paradise,

He also saw a beautiful woman sitting by the stream, her bare feet in the water, casually patting the surface of the water, mature yet playful, lovely yet charming.

Wang Ke didn't run over,

In fact,

This scene,

This situation,

Not to mention in a dream,

Even in reality,

Any man who saw it,

Except for those few exceptions,

Would basically be unable to remain indifferent, right?

But Wang Ke was indeed Zhou Ze's childhood friend,

He actually just squatted there without moving,

Just looking at the beautiful woman with his eyes,

But that was all.

The woman's feet were about to cramp from swinging,

The woman's face was about to stiffen from smiling,

The woman's butt was about to be worn out by the stone under her,

But the moth still had no intention of flying into the fire.

The woman stood up,

And simply walked over gracefully,

She was barefoot, her toes sparkling, wearing a shawl that fluttered in the wind.

Daji of King Zhou, Yang Yuhuan of Emperor Tang, and Qin Keqing in the Dream of the Red Chamber were probably at this level of beauty.

The woman walked up to Wang Ke,

But Wang Ke still just looked, frowning from time to time.

The woman bent over,

Revealing the huge baby food warehouse in front of her chest,

“What are you thinking about?”

The woman asked,

Her tone gentle.

“Is this a dream?” Wang Ke asked.

“Yes, this is a dream, a free dream.”

The woman stood up,

And slowly turned in front of Wang Ke,

Showing her natural beauty,

“In a dream, you don't need to take responsibility for anything you do. Everything is free, and all the rules are nonexistent.”

Wang Ke nodded and said:

“I'm wondering if there are some problems or changes in my psychology recently. What does seeing a beautiful woman in a dream mean?”

“…………” The woman.

I've been "beautiful and moving" here for so long,

And you're telling me you're studying psychological problems!

Believe it or not, I'll skin you and eat you in minutes!

Wang Ke reached out and adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, seemingly still thinking.

“Don't you want to take this opportunity to learn more about something?”

The woman's hands were down below,

Groping on her body,

Her tongue sticking out,

Moving along her lips.

But Wang Ke firmly shook his head,

And said:

“It's all fake, what's the point?”

“What if I said that all of this could become real?”

The woman continued to ask.

You want real,

Okay!

Did you think I wanted to play fake!

Wang Ke hesitated for a moment and said, “I'm married.”

“This servant knows, but this servant doesn't seek fame or fortune, only…………”

“Wait a moment.”

Wang Ke interrupted the woman,

Reaching out and gently tapping his forehead,

“No, this doesn't seem like a dream, it seems like hypnosis.”

He,

He sensed it?

Are psychologists that amazing!

Wang Ke stood up,

Still tapping his forehead non-stop,

“Then I have to wake up. Hypnosis for too long is bad for the body.”

Immediately,

The wind rose,

Everything around,

Began to twist,

And with it,

The woman's stunning face twisted as well.

“Don't go…………don't go………………”

The woman shouted,

Trying to hold him back.

But Wang Ke remained unmoved, but instead said with some confusion:

“I can't look at medical records before sleeping next time, it's too tiring.”

…………

The next moment,

Wang Ke opened his eyes,

The medical record folder was still in his hand,

And he had just,

Probably taken a nap.

Wang Ke stretched and moved his muscles and bones. He especially looked at the white fox in the box next to him. Seeing it still lying peacefully inside, its chest rising and falling slightly with its breathing, he smiled, got up, and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

What he didn't notice was,

Not long after he got up and left,

The white fox in the box,

Slowly spat out a mouthful of old blood,

This was,

Holding it in until it caused internal injuries...
