Chapter 141 Kumantong’s neck fell off
That one candle can only give so much light.
At Mr. Zou’s age, his eyesight is not good, and the gap in the door also blocks out the light source.
So he didn't know what Zou Kai was doing in there.
Zou Kai smiled and said, "I just fell asleep. I haven't been feeling well recently, so I slept very deeply."
Upon hearing this, Master Zou did not say much.
He just sat down in front of the mirror.
He looked carefully at the face in the mirror.
Sure enough, his facial condition was much better than before.
There are fewer fine lines at the corners of my eyes and my eye bags are much lighter.
This scene gave Zou Kai an uncomfortable feeling.
He clenched his fists unconsciously.
Why is this old man getting younger and younger while my body is getting older?
"Grandpa, why are you here so late? What's the matter?"
Zou Kai tried his best to appear calm, but he was unable to properly suppress the hatred and imbalance in his heart.
Old Master Zou looked at his hair which was slowly turning dark black, then glanced at Zou Kai and suddenly smiled.
"I just came here to tell you that you don't need to look for a baby for me anymore. I am very satisfied with my current situation."
Zou Kai suddenly raised his eyes, his facial lines looked a little cold and his pupils were chilly.
"Grandpa, why do you suddenly think like this?"
Zou Kai secretly clenched his hands into fists, anger rising in his heart, and when he lowered his eyes, a gloomy and cold light flashed across his eyes.
Mr. Zou had a gentle smile on his face. "I don't need to regain my youth. I am already satisfied with what I have now."
"If we continue to look for the goods, I'm afraid we will commit a sin."
After all, he has been doing good deeds for most of his life.
A hint of sarcasm flashed through Zou Kai's mind. If there was no one around, he would probably laugh out loud in mockery.
I know best what kind of person my grandfather is.
If the baby cup could make him a few decades younger, who knows how many babies in this world would suffer.
Previously, Master Zou had always asked me to help him find a baby, but now he suddenly said he didn't want it anymore and even said in a high-sounding way that people should be content. Who would believe this?
Zou Kai's eyes were cold.
There must be something wrong here!
Old Master Zou put his hand on Zou Kai's shoulder and said, "Besides, this is a time of trouble. There are so many eyes on the Zou family. This century-old foundation cannot be destroyed in my hands."
Zou Kai lowered his eyes; the light was too bright and too dazzling, blurring his expression.
"Got it, Grandpa."
He gave an obedient smile, still the sensible and obedient grandson he used to be.
"Oh, by the way—"
As if he suddenly remembered something, Master Zou was about to leave, but he suddenly turned around and said to Zou Kai, "In another week, it will be the anniversary of your third cousin's death. As his brother, don't forget it."
Zou Kai lowered his eyes and replied yes.
Old Master Zou patted him on the shoulder with a meaningful smile on his face, "Akai, you look more like me than your uncles do. Among my children and grandchildren, you are the only one who looks most like me."
Zou Kai smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment, Grandpa."
Mr. Zou closed his eyes and nodded.
He criticized Zou Kai again openly and secretly, then turned and left.
Zou Kai stared at his departing back and suddenly remembered that the old man no longer needed a cane since he woke up.
Zou Kai lowered his head, thinking.
He turned off the main lights, only turned on the small light, and carried the Kumantong out.
As soon as he saw the face of the Kumantong, his expression froze.
Bang!
The thing in his hand slipped to the ground with a loud noise, but Zou Kai didn't care whether the sound was irritating or not.
The blood drained from his face and his pupils lost their luster in that instant.
His face turned pale and he staggered back a few steps, looking at the Kumanthong on the ground in disbelief, his hands shaking uncontrollably.
For no other reason than that he had just seen that the Kumantong's face and body were covered with spider-web-like cracks.
At the moment it fell to the ground, Zou Kai saw with his own eyes that its head rolled off and rolled on the ground.
Zou Kai felt a chill all over his body. No matter how calm and composed he was, he felt creepy at this moment.
This is not ceramic, nor is it an action figure with a detachable head.
This is the pure gold 'Buddha Boy' that he asked Huo Baiwei to have someone go to Country T and spend a lot of money to make for him.
How could a Kumantong made of this material have spider-web-like cracks on its body!
How could it be possible that his head would fall off as soon as his hands loosened and touched the ground!
Zou Kai felt a chill all over his body and inexplicably felt that the sound of the wind outside the window was a little eerie.
Sand and stones were hitting the glass windows. Zou Kai, with shaking hands, hurriedly bent down, quickly picked up the Golden Boy Buddha statue with a split head on the ground, and stuffed it into the cabinet, accidentally dropping it twice in the process.
Zou Kai was so flustered that he didn't even notice the hits on his head and hands.
He poured himself a large glass of hot water.
“Woo woo…woo woo…”
“Ahh…ah…”
The sound of the howling wind sounded outside, along with the sharp cries of wild cats, pouring into Zou Kai's eardrums and stimulating every nerve in his body.
Zou Kai turned on the headlights with a snap.
The glare almost blinded him.
Zou Kai heaved a sigh of relief, as if he felt safe, with a thin layer of sweat on his forehead.
He didn't dare close his eyes again.
As the old saying goes, if you don't do bad things, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door.
Zou Kai used to have a clear conscience and never felt that he was wrong.
After all, this world is a place where the strong prey on the weak and the rich are cruel. It is pitiful that those babies became his prey, but it is also their fault for not knowing how to be born into a good family.
If they were not born in remote rural areas, but were born into top wealthy families, would he dare to target them?
He never thought there was anything wrong with bullying the weak.
But at this moment, he actually felt a sense of fear in his heart.
He just kept the light on, his nerves tense.
Tiredness told him that it was time to turn off the lights and go to sleep.
But out of fear of darkness, his reason was fighting against fatigue.
Zou Kai forced himself to keep his eyes open, but his eyelids became heavier and heavier...
Click.
The power went out and everything was plunged into darkness.
Zou Kai clutched the quilt beneath him tightly to prevent himself from screaming in fear.
He gritted his teeth tightly, his body uncontrollably breaking out in a cold sweat. In this extremely tense state, he actually slowly closed his eyes.
…
Wuwu... Wuwu...
The terrifying sound of the wind woke Zou Kai up. He rubbed his eyes. The window had opened at some point and a faint white light shone in.
A slight cool breeze blew into the bedroom, and Zou Kai was instantly awakened.
Zou Kai felt an uncomfortable and stuffy feeling coming from his body. He remembered that he had drunk a large glass of water before going to bed, and his brows furrowed.
Wanting to go to the toilet at this time is not a good thing.
Even though there was a toilet in his room, Zou Kai didn't want to lift the quilt and get out of bed.
It seemed that as long as he was lying in bed and under the quilt, he was safe.
But his physiological needs made him almost unable to hold back.
Zou Kai's eyebrows jumped violently, and finally he made up his mind, gritted his teeth and lifted the quilt.
"whee……"
A hair-raising laugh exploded in my ears, and a dozen resentful babies, covered in bruises, crawled out from under the quilts with their mouths wide open.
They twisted their necks with crackling sounds, blood flowed from their eyes, and they met Zou Kai's eyes.
One of the resentful babies crawled onto Zou Kai's neck and opened its bloody mouth.
