7, is reset every day
Zhuo Jingning has been a little irritable in recent days, and he feels like he is holding his nameless fire. However, his life is very comfortable and there is nothing to be irritable at all.
I don’t know if I met a strong man on the way, but I still haven’t heard from him. It’s been almost two months since the letter sent to Zhuo’s family. However, whenever the family lacks money, Yunniang can always take out a jar of old silver with bad quality.
There is no need to worry about food and clothing. If you have spare money, you shouldn’t have an irritable heart, but you are becoming more and more irritable.
Zhuo Jingning felt that this should be related to his delay in finding the characters in the plot of the story of "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio". Deep in his heart, there was a trace of helplessness and confusion.
"This big county town doesn't even have a ghost?"
Zhuo Jingning was slightly drunk, and now he could only use alcohol to drown his sorrows to suppress his inner emotional instability.
Because of the increasing irritability, Zhuo Jingning stood up a few days ago and entered those places with haunted rumors. For example, a rich man's old house that had been abandoned for many years was indeed gloomy and terrifying. No wonder there were haunted rumors, but the punishment has not changed much.
So far, after careful calculation, the punishment has only taken effect once.
That time, he broke the straw rope bracelet left by Yunniang's mother Aunt Mei.
This made Zhuo Jingning feel something was wrong.
This kind of peace and peace should not be the world of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio.
What is the world of Stories from a Chinese Studio?
It is dark and chaotic, with unpredictable eyes, corrupt officials are rampant, people are living in poverty, ghosts and monsters cannibalize people!
Like that Ghost Story of the Ghost Story of the Ghost, it seems that the human-ghost relationship is still unfinished, and it is extremely romantic, but in essence? Before Xiaoqian met Ning Caichen, she had no idea how many people had killed. If Ning Caichen had not aroused Xiaoqian's lust, she would have met a strange master like Yan Chixia, and would probably have become a mummy in the abandoned Zen temple.
Instead of being so peaceful and leisurely like his current life.
Otherwise, why should he be punished for that unknown supernatural factor? It is also specifically noted that it is only effective for ghosts in the world of Liaozhai, and when the ghost is seriously injured, the punishment can also cause an additional effect of killing.
Then, I must have discovered all kinds of ghosts and monsters in this world of Stories from a Chinese Studio!
It is very likely that the ghost is lurking beside him.
The more Zhuo Jingning thought about this, the more annoyed he became. Not only because he had to face the blood-like task after going back, he wanted to find some ways to save his life. He had a premonition that if he continued like this, he would probably die soon!
Zhuo Jingning wants to trust his premonition very much.
He was able to escape from the place called "The Underworld Show" because he was trapped in that terrifying place with his keen judgment. There were many people and many ghosts. The ghosts in that place were not as spiritual as the ghosts in the world of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio. Not to mention being charming, sweet, gentle and considerate, the ghosts there were completely a negative combination.
Full of resentment towards living people.
Unable to communicate and unreasonable.
As for their appearance, they all remained the same as when they died tragically.
The scarier it can be!
If it weren't for being bound by the magical contract of killing conditions, those ghosts would have plagued the real world and killed all the living people they saw.
Because ghosts in the real world do not fear the sun.
You can travel day and night.
Zhuo Jingning drank another glass of wine. The wine in the world of Liaozhai is quite in line with the actual historical situation. There is no alcohol content at all. The best pot of wine in this inn is also like beer, and it can be drunk as boiled water.
Zhuo Jingning is not a person who loves alcohol, nor is he a person who likes to deceive himself. He drinks, just wants to temporarily suppress his irritability.
Unable to help but get up, Zhuo Jingning paced back and forth in the inn.
There are not many people in the inn. After all, everything costs money in the inn. Such crowded inns will only appear in TV series.
In real inns, there are not so many people staying in hotels and having meals.
After all, those who cannot afford to eat account for 90% of the world of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio. Only that small group of people, who have no worries about food and clothing, even have rich food and wealth.
If you want to live a good life, you will naturally have to work for others.
If the slavery system had not been for such good, it would not have lasted for so many years.
Zhuo Jingning's current identity is one of the beneficiaries of this system.
With the identity of a scholar, everyone in this inn has to respectfully call him "Scholar Zhuo" when they see him.
"Zhuo Xiucai, a cow fell to death in the countryside today. Some beef entered in the inn. Should the scholar try it?" The shopkeeper was yawning on the counter, and suddenly saw Zhuo Jingning and hurriedly greeted.
Zhuo Jingning was slightly stunned when he heard this.
Because this is the third time he has heard what the shopkeeper said.
Thinking about it carefully, it was also at this time yesterday that the shopkeeper grabbed him and sold beef to him. However, at that time, he did not drink. The day before yesterday, the shopkeeper also sold beef to him. At that time, Zhuo Jingning went outside to find someone to come back.
"The cows fell to death in these three days? Such a coincidence?" Zhuo Jingning couldn't help but say.
"No, just today, just today." The shopkeeper said quickly. This cow is an important livestock for plowing fields, and every head is registered in the government. It is not a death from illness, old age, and fall to death. If anyone dares to kill a cow, he will at least be beaten and have a few years of prison meals.
As for beheading, it is not common in the world of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio.
If it weren't for the serious crime of treason, the rest of the crimes would be easy to discuss. After all, the population of the Qing Dynasty in the world of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio was not large. It would be not worth killing a person for a cow.
People are higher-level laborers than cows.
Zhuo Jingning looked at the shopkeeper's face and his eyes widened.
The shopkeeper did not lie, and he didn't need to ask, just knowing that the shopkeeper must have no idea that he had also sold beef to him yesterday.
It’s not that I forgot, but that I don’t have any memory in that aspect at all.
Zhuo Jingning finally understood why he couldn't find the ghost. His time has been repeating, so how could he find it?
Even the shopkeeper not only sold him beef for three days.
And the real time when the cow fell to death was not three days ago!
It's very likely a month ago!
"Then, Yunniang didn't take out several jars of silver, but she only had one jar at all, right?"
"No wonder the Zhuo family has not been moved yet. I am the only one at home, and I am a good person. For merchants, without me, they will find it difficult to buy a piece of land and will not ignore me."
Zhuo Jingning suddenly figured it out.
But why did he encounter such a thing?
After thinking about it, Zhuo Jingning only met one ghost, namely Yunniang's mother, Aunt Mei.
But since he and Yunniang got married, Aunt Mei disappeared.
"Wait, get married..."
Zhuo Jingning's face changed slightly. He quickly walked towards the bedroom. Yunniang was not there, so he asked the waiter and said that Yunniang and the proprietress of the rouge shop next to him had gone to measure the cloth together.
Zhuo Jingning stood there, motionless.
