Chapter 229: Searching for ......
At this moment, I saw that the grocery store owner opened his mouth slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but soon changed his facial expression, and said with a smile as usual: "You are too worried, where will I see this friend of yours, I just think he has a good face, and I just look at him a few more times...... Sit down first, and I'll serve you food. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
As I spoke, the owner of the restaurant hurriedly escaped my gaze, turned around and walked briskly towards the back kitchen, with a somewhat hurried pace, and it was obvious that there must be something wrong with her.
But the more she did that, the more suspicious I became, and I thought to myself, I'm going to have to get something out of your mouth anyway.
Thinking about it, Yaolong on the side asked, "What's wrong with the boss, do you think she is very strange?" He didn't speak loudly, as if he was afraid that the restaurant owner would hear it, but because of the noisy people outside the store, even I didn't hear it too clearly, but I just heard a rough idea.
So, I thought for a moment and said, "It's okay, I just think this boss looks at you a little strangely, as if she has found something on you, I'll ask her again." Come on, come on, eat first......"
As I spoke, I picked up my chopsticks and prepared to eat, but when I looked down, there were all kinds of insects on the table and plates, including cicada chrysalis and grasshoppers...... There were also bugs that were so black that I couldn't even name them.
Looking at the dishes on the table, I swallowed my saliva and said to Hu Fang: "Come, the dishes you ordered, you eat them first and show them to me......"
And Hu Fang, who was sitting on my left, didn't even dare to hold chopsticks at this time, she looked at the things in front of her in a daze, and said with a dead face: "You don't have to worry about me, I have to wait until the dishes are ready to eat, you eat first......"
Li Zhisheng on the other side heard Hu Fang's words, and teased her with a smile: "No, Miss Hu, this is not your usual style......" As he spoke, he raised his nose and sniffed the dishes in front of him, and continued: "It's very fragrant, if I don't eat insects, I will definitely not be polite to you." Taste it for me......" He said with a look of waiting to see the show.
Hu Fang was forced to be helpless, just picked up the chopsticks, and was about to reach out to clip it, when the voice of the waiter came from behind him, "A few people, the dish is here...... Borrow a ......" as he spoke, and a waiter brought the dish to the table.
Seeing this, I was a little puzzled, and hurriedly asked the waiter who was putting the plate and said, "Eh, may I ask, where is the waitress who served us just now?" ā
"Oh, you said our boss, she just said that there was something temporary, so she left first...... What's wrong, do you feel dissatisfied with the dish? The waiter said as he wiped his oil-stained hands.
At this moment, my heart sank, and I secretly screamed that it was not good, it seemed that the boss really knew any clues, but he didn't seem to want to reveal them to us.
In desperation, I slapped the table and stood up. This move startled Hu Fang, Yaolong and Li Zhisheng, who were sitting on the side, and they looked at me with shocked expressions on their faces, completely unaware of what was happening.
And I couldn't care about it so much at the moment, so I grabbed the waiter on the side and said anxiously: "Where did your boss go and where did you go?!" ā
The waiter was stunned for a moment, then timidly stretched out a hand, pointed to the back kitchen and said, "Back, back door, she walked through the back door just now, and she just walked for less than two minutes......
After hearing this, before he could finish speaking, I let go of my grip on him and said to the crowd sitting around the table: "You are waiting for me here, and I will come when I go!" With that, I hurried into the back kitchen, and the waiter tried to stop me, but it was too late.
In a moment, I ran out of the back kitchen and found myself in a narrow alley behind the kitchen, and I looked left and right, and saw that the alley was a little dark, and could only accommodate two or three people walking side by side, and there was an exit on the left and right sides of the alley.
Just when I was at a loss, I vaguely saw a figure in the dim light. Judging from the clothes, this should be the hotel owner, she left in a hurry, as if she wanted to leave as soon as possible.
Seeing this, I hurried to catch up and grabbed it. The owner of the hotel was startled by my action and tried to run away with his leg, but because my hand had already grabbed her arm, she couldn't break free.
Seeing this, she suddenly shouted: "Someone, someone is robbing ......"
Hearing this, I hurriedly subconsciously covered her mouth and anxiously explained: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I won't hurt you, I just want to ask you something." ā
But she didn't listen to my explanation at all, and she was still struggling desperately. Seeing this, I had no choice but to let go of the hand covering her mouth, hurriedly took out some money from my pocket, shook it in front of her, and said, "Is this enough?!" I really just want to know something, nothing else......"
The owner of the hotel saw that I had no intention of hurting her, so he slowly stopped struggling, and I let go of my hand holding her, ready to shove the money into her hand.
But instead of taking the money, she pushed it with her hand. In the dim light, I saw a look of embarrassment on her face, and said, "I am not a greedy person, and I will not ask for your money for nothing." Just, what exactly do you want to ask? ā
After hearing this, I thought to myself, "It's really rare, there are people who don't love money...... and I put the money away, so I put the money away and asked her, "In that case, I'll tell you straight." I felt that you looked at my friend very strangely, and that there was something wrong with your behavior after that, so I concluded that you must have seen something on my friend. If you know anything, please let me know and I'll be sure to thank you again. ā
Seeing me say this, she frowned slightly and said, "It's not that I don't want to tell you, I'm afraid that you won't believe it, because there are some things that ordinary people can't understand, and even if I say it, you may not think it's true." Plus ......" she said as she groaned for a moment and fell silent.
Now, I understood what she meant, and it seemed that I was right, and she knew something. "None of us are 'ordinary people,' you say." I said.
Hearing what I said, she looked me up and down, and said, "Young man, I don't think you're any different, it's just that your friend has something unusual about him......
Seeing that she stopped in the middle of her words, I was a little impatient, and took her words and said bluntly: "You're talking about Gu, right, my friend does have Gu on him, do you know what it is?" ā
Seeing that I was outspoken, she paused for a moment, as if she didn't expect me to know about it, but in an instant she settled down and said, "Since you know everything, then I don't need to hide it from you...... In fact, the Gu on your friend's body is not an ordinary Gu at all, but it is very likely to be the legendary Gu King......"
