Chapter 27: The Glory of Labor
"It's a surprise to know you in the last few years."
This is the last sentence left by Zhang Lulu, the true farewell is silent, and there will be no such soul in the world ever since.
Xia Xiaoman saw the ghost dissipate for the first time with his own eyes, but he didn't make a sound for a long time.
Gu Cheng lit a candle of incense. Although Zhang Lulu could no longer see it, it was considered a memorial. She was completely free from the cycle of reincarnation and ended the long journey.
"Do you still want to keep it?" He turned around and asked Xia Xiaoman.
Xia Xiaoman didn't say anything. If he reincarnated for a thousand years, ten thousand years, or ten thousand years, as long as Gu Cheng is not old and dies, they will meet again, but they just don't remember it.
But this life will be gone.
"Life is just a temporary one. This is a journey in your thousands of lives. There are some regrets, but there are more exciting things to do in the future."
Gu Cheng said, after packing up the desktop, he turned off the lights and planned to go to bed.
"I want to live forever too," said Xia Xiaoman.
"Countless people thought, but they all became a piece of loess in the end, and only I am still alive."
Gu Cheng returned to the house in the darkness, and there were a few light noises in the bedroom, and then he became quiet. Xia Xiaoman stayed in the living room and did not move in the darkness.
The difference between a short-lived species and a long-lived person is as vast as a world of thought.
She turned her head slightly, and the slanted light and moon shadows popped in from the window. The moon outside the window looked like water, shining on the earth, illuminating the pedestrians who were still wandering outside every night, and illuminating every lonely soul wandering in the world.
"well……"
A light sigh.
Gu Cheng got up at dawn, and his work and rest were much more regular than the blood clan next door.
Washing his face and brushing his teeth, he didn't see Xia Xiaoman today. He didn't know where the girl was going. It was good if no one squatted beside him and watching the ghosts brushing his teeth.
After checking the gas and the leftover dishes in the refrigerator, Gu Cheng carried his bag and was about to go out. As soon as he opened the door, he saw a hanged ghost hanging at the door.
Her white and tender feet were hanging down, and upwards were the calves, thighs, waist... and finally, Xia Xiaoman's grimace was sticking out his tongue.
“…”
“…”
“Get out of here.”
"This is how ghosts look." Xia Xiaoman's slender body swayed in the door and swayed in the wind.
"Get out of the way, what should I do if I block the door?"
"Because I'm a hanged man now."
Xia Xiaoman turned her body gently like a slow-release top, and Gu Cheng pretended not to see it and wanted to go out directly.
"You are a hooligan!" Xia Xiaoman was shocked.
"Everyone, come and see if someone is playing hooligan here! Is there anyone?"
Gu Cheng raised his hand and was about to hit him. Xia Xiaoman hid away and sat in the electric car waiting for him to be the driver.
Lilith stood on the wall at the entrance of the alley and didn't know what she was doing. She originally wanted to take Gu Cheng's electric car, but when she saw Xia Xiaoman sitting behind and pulling his clothes with her fingers, she thought about it and let it go. Her body, which had just been arched, turned around and landed on Chen Hua's car behind.
"What do you want to do?" Chen Hua's car shook his head and almost hit the wall.
A black cat doesn't speak, and a cat can't speak, and it will break if it is seen in broad daylight.
So Chen Hua carried a black cat and walked along the road slowly. It kept looking back at Gu Cheng and Xia Xiaoman on the other side.
At noon, Chen Hua squatted in the corner of the back door with his lunch box in his hand and communicated with his fellow villagers.
"What did you say?!"
Hearing Lilith say that Gu Cheng was pursuing a ghost crazy, the tomato he had just eaten into his mouth squirted out with a puff.
He was straddled! Sure enough, he was confused by the female ghost!
"Why do you want to eat?" Lilith wondered, aren't they all drunk blood?
She had never had contact with the vampire before coming to Dongfang. She always felt that these things were particularly good at pretending to behave. One was considered one, and all were pretenders. Chen Hua broke her perception.
"I was going to eat, you wouldn't think drinking some blood can support the energy needed for your activity."
“emmm…”
"Can you ride a broom?"
"Does the sweeping robot count?" Lilith found that they had some misunderstandings about each other.
It’s all the blame for the church!
"robot……"
Chen Hua was stunned, thinking about the appearance of the sweeping robot, and he became trance for a moment.
"The witch is pretty low."
"You are not low? You are not low, you are a vampire and come to put the security guard!" Lilith was furious.
"I'm called serving the people."
Chen Hua is quite proud, a harmonious society is good. The former predecessors of the blood clan should know his current life and envy him to death.
In the Middle Ages: I live secretly and avoid churches, and I accidentally celebrate Torch Festival. I also have to beware of some people throwing garlic at them to test it. I don’t know who spread rumors that they are afraid of garlic. Maybe it was a vampire who hates garlic that caused misunderstandings to humans. If that vampire hates cilantro, things might be different again.
Vampires today: they are happy to play with their mobile phones and buy whatever they want. They can take their wives to attend a hot pot festival. Even if they occasionally show abnormalities, they will only be considered sick. No one will think of vampires.
It means that the witch is getting better and better, and he is a cat, parasitic on humans.
"I work, I am glorious." Chen Hua's eyes were a little contempt.
"You're so glorious!" Lilith growled.
"You don't understand." said the vampire.
Lilith didn't know that Chen Hua had not caught up with the glorious period of the blood clan. He was born at the end. He hid and couldn't eat enough. He hid in a place near the polar regions where birds did not poop for a while. He was so hungry that he went out to find food and could see through it. Only after Gu Cheng took him to the east did he truly know what stability was.
He has been influenced by more than a hundred years here, experienced difficult times, and went to the countryside. In the 1990s, the economy was not good, and after being laid off, he was embarrassed to be helped by Gu Cheng, so he ran to the street to pick up garbage. A broken bottle was worth a penny.
Human beings can influence their concepts after only twenty years. In the past hundred years, they have been better and better every day. They have long forgotten what vampires should be like.
"A harmonious society is so good, it's a pity not to be a human being, and even the computer cannot be played." Chen Hua felt sorry for this fellow villager.
Lilith rolled her eyes, "Aren't you afraid of being neighbors with Lao Buddy?"
"Why be afraid?"
"He's scary."
"I seem to have heard that he is a fierce man." Chen Hua scratched his head.
The black cat waited for a while but didn't see him talking. Instead, he held the lunch box and continued to eat. A black line appeared on his forehead, "What?"
"What then? Can you take what you heard seriously?"
“…”
What a fool.
Lilith was completely speechless. A human was passing by here. She kept silent. Just as she was about to leave, Chen Hua swayed in front of her with a piece of meat and then threw it away.
Damn!
Lilith was furious and slapped him with her paws and walked out through the gate.
"Nervous, waste of food."
Chen Hua used his feet to pluck the piece of meat and moved it to an ant hole in the corner of the flower bed. This would not be a waste, but it was eaten by life.
Chapter completed!
