After I asked, Zhao Shuirong threw me an envelope, and he tapped it lightly with his index finger in front of Shui Lotus, Red Leaf and Wang Roar: "Be mentally prepared, and then open it and take a look." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

I nodded, and opened the envelope in full view.

Soon, old photos appeared in front of my eyes.

It was a group photo from many, many years ago, and the locations of the photos were very varied, only I had heard and known, including Jinan Wuweiju, a canal somewhere, a group photo of RB soldiers carrying Chinese in the war of aggression against China, and ...... did not destroy the previous Zhao family building.

In those photos, the faces are different, but there are always a few fixed people who frequently appear in the period, and among them...... There was a face that I was all too familiar with.

The old nineteen's shemale face.

Looking at those very old photos, while I was frowning, I turned around and asked Hyun Hongye, "Yezi, can you take out your grandfather's photos too?" ”

Hyun Hongye nodded, and took out the photo that Yu Hyun Yundu found at the beginning.

Several photos come together to form a clear line in an instant.

Zhao Shuirong looked at the photo in Xian Hongye's hand, nodded slightly as if he had realized something, and said: "That's right, this person named Lao Nineteen is the enemy of our generations, and he is not old, has not died, and has not changed...... Now it's back again, and it's eyeing our Five Organs Temple again. ”

While talking, Zhao Shuirong told me that after he knew that my old squad leader had passed on the mantle to me, he had already wanted to get up and meet with me, but in the past half a year, their Huaiyang Two Ancestral Temples had constant troubles, so he was tired of coping with it, and he couldn't get out.

Before coming to me, Zhao Shuirong and his Su Zizuo were put together by Lao 19 and his Dude Group, and the entire Su Zizuo catering industry fell into the crisis of various frauds and expired food, which made him anxious for a while, and was almost bought by Dude Group.

However, the good thing is that because of the special relationship between the two ancestral temples and the rulers of the past dynasties, there are many resources that can be used in the government, and he relied on those relationships to resolve the crisis, preserve the two ancestral temples and Su Zizuo, and also make himself very beautiful, improving his prestige within Su Zizuo. Even the photographs in my hands were found in the National Archives using those special resources.

After all, the Five Organs Temple is not a vegetarian, and after Zhao Shuirong dredged up the relationship, he soon found out that all this was a conspiracy made by Lao Nineteen and his Dude Group behind his back.

Now that the main owner has been found, it is easy to resolve it by relying on the special background of Zhao Shuirong and the two ancestral temples. It was only after that he came out and found me.

And when Zhao Shuirong learned from Zhao Shuihe that I went to the northwest of Guizhou, Zhao Shuirong reacted that the old nineteen's attack on Su Zizuo was probably to restrain his pace of going north, and then let me go to Heilan Bocheng to find a coffin for him under the guidance of Lin Shaosong. It's a two-pronged move.

As for why Lao Nineteen was looking for the coffin, Zhao Shuirong shook his head and said that he didn't know either, but the photos he found from the national and Jinan archives can give us a glimpse or two.

While speaking, Zhao Shuirong arranged the photos in chronological order, pointed to the first group photo of more than a dozen people, and said: "The first photo is the restaurant when Zhao Qingshan of the Zhao family in Lunan 'worshiped the chef', and the location is Jinan Wuweiju, where in addition to Zhao Qingshan, there is also my grandfather." And, of course, that old nineteen......"

Following Zhao Shuirong's instructions, I really saw Zhao Qingshan's very young and handsome face under the huge plaque of Wuweiju, it is hard to imagine that a young man like him in his twenties is already the abbot chef of Jinan Hotel, so Zhao Qingshan at that time was full of spirit, accompanied by Zhao Shuirong, he was holding his head high, looking at the camera carefully, indescribably proud and novel.

In addition to the protagonist of the year, I also had to notice that in the row of seats behind Zhao Shuirong, there was also a man with a danren beard, who was wearing a black kimono unique to RB people, and was also looking at the camera with a calm expression.

The man took off his beard...... He looks exactly like Old Nineteen.

"Impossible!" I shook my head and said: "If I'm not wrong, when Zhao Qingshan was a cook in Jinan, the War of Resistance hadn't even started, if there was an old nineteen at that time, then he has lived to this day, to say the least, he is more than a hundred years old, how can he still run around like a twenty-year-old ladyboy?" ”

Zhao Shuirong shook his head and said: "I didn't believe it at first, because this is a photo of the 22nd year of the Republic of China, maybe it's just a coincidence, two people who look very similar, but ......"

Zhao Shuirong pointed to the second photo and said to me: "You are looking at this one, look carefully." ”

In the second photo printed with gold, a "big official" in the Republic of China is shaking hands with a cook warmly, and the cook and the big man of the Republic of China are smiling enthusiastically, but it gives people a sense of appearance and separation.

The cook is Zhao Qingshan, the big man with a mustache, judging from the handwriting on the photo...... It should be a warlord of the Republic of China, SD King Han Fuyu.

At this time, Zhao Qingshan was still young, but the years of suffering in the Republic of China had made his face show deep wrinkles, and Zhao Qingshan looked tired, as if he was tired of dealing with Han Fuyu, and it seemed that he had encountered something more difficult.

Zhao Qingshan and Han Fuyu shook hands, I was not surprised at all, after all, Zhao had saved Mr. Han's life, and the two of them were friends in trouble, so after Han gained power, he would definitely pull the old brother along.

But in addition to these two, I also saw a guard-like man in the extreme distance of the camera, the man was wearing a national army uniform, with an armed belt, but his face was surprisingly handsome, just like a big girl.

With such a characteristic face, who is it not his old nineteen?

Zhao Shuirong pointed to the old nineteen in the photo and said: "The old nineteen in this photo was taken in the 27th year of the Republic of China, and everyone else has aged, but the old nineteen has not, and the most interesting thing is that he changed his skin, from an RB person, to a person, and actually became a guard for important members of the National Revolutionary Army." ”

I looked at the moment from decades ago and was silent.

Zhao Shuirong smiled, continued to take out a photo, handed it to me, and said, "If the first three can't explain the specific problem, then this last one, your concept will be completely subverted." ”

As I spoke, I saw that in the photo that Zhao Shuirong handed me, a group of students were criticizing Zhao Qingshan in the heavy snow. Students dressed in military uniforms from the Cultural Revolution period, surrounded by villagers from Mune. Zhao Qingshan is at the center of the photo, his face is full of old women, he has long lost the pride and heroism of Lunan Chef, and his unshaven face is covered with blood stasis and wounds.

Zhao Qingshan in the photo is extremely miserable, he was stripped naked by the students, his hands were tied behind his back, and he hung on a crooked neck tree in Zhaojialou, with a big sign on his neck that mopped the floor, and wrote short and bold characters with a brush on it: "Zhao Qingshan, the biggest **** reactionary demon chef in Zhaojialou!! ”

The criticism and suffering did not make Zhao Qingshan succumb, but what he didn't see was that just behind him, there was a person who looked like a schoolgirl secretly watching him.

The woman combed her ponytail, her expression was complicated, and she was not as fanatical and angry as the other students, but more of pity and bitterness.

The woman's face...... It's still the old nineteen.

After looking at these three photos spanning more than half a century, I could hardly believe my eyes, and I couldn't judge, if it weren't for the comparison of the posthumous photos of Youxian Momiji, I really doubt that these photos were made by someone, it was a prank.

A ...... alone How is it possible to survive through so many eras? How is it possible to keep switching between RB people, guards, national (harmony) army and red guards like a ghost? Or even switching between man and woman's identity?

I can't understand it, and I can't seem to understand it.

After being silent for a long time, I raised my head and asked Zhao Shuirong, "Do you know why?" ”

Zhao Shuirong shook his head, took back the photo, and said to me: "I only know that he has a good relationship with the Five Organs Temple, especially the Zhao family, and has some special ability, as if he is not old or dead, and can even create some kind of hallucination. I don't know who he is or what his purpose is, but I know a little bit ......"

Zhao Shuirong finally stood up, tidied up his clothes, and said to me: "He will definitely not be willing to fail, I believe that in the near future, he will still appear, and he will be the enemy of our Five Organs Temple." ”

I looked up, looked at Zhao Shuirong and Zhao Shuihe, who were about to turn around and leave, and said, "That...... What can I do? ”

"I don't know!" Zhao Shuirong smiled strangely and said, "The kitchen knife of the Zhao family is in your hand." The inheritance of the Zhao family is in you, maybe your future experience is far from being as simple as you imagined. ”

After speaking, Zhao Shuirong and his sister turned away, while I tightly touched the kitchen knife in my arms.

Maybe it's really as Zhao Shuirong said, everything ...... This is just the beginning.

[September 25, 2016, the end of "Eating Curse"]

(Closing remarks: The first story of the Spell of Eater has finally come to an end after half a year of serialization, please note that I used "ending" instead of "ending", because this story is not over, just the idea is that this is just the beginning.) I think you can also see that my ending is rather hasty, and the plot has a big hole about the old nineteen, which is not completely filled, and I will explain this and a series of major issues in detail next. 1. I originally only wanted to write a long story of about one million words in this book, but as I wrote and wrote, I found that with the existing skills and length, I could not accommodate the whole story, or even if it was expressed, it would not be a good reading experience, so I could only put Tian Fuji's journey aside and write the whole story with new strokes and perspectives. Strive to express completeness and show a more weird, wonderful and humane world of the Five Organs Temple. 2, Lao Nineteen is a very important character, I originally wanted to end him at the end, but as the writing deepened, I found that there were too many stories and clues that could be mined in him, so his life and death, experience, and past, I need to think carefully about the end. 3, Xiao Jiu'er's life and death, you can rest assured, that girl will come out again, in a completely different way that you can't imagine...... 4,Zhao Qingshan is the core character of the Republic of China story series of eating spells,At present, his story is being conceived,My biggest regret is that I didn't write out the chapter of the Piling Doucai and the RB people fighting in the food spell.,Because when I really started writing, I found out.,Then he (harmony) is a train of information about the mother.,It's not a few chapters that can be finished.,So I can only put it on hold first.,I will have a chance to open a separate chapter on the situation of the external biography.。 In short, thank you all for walking so far with me, and all I can guarantee is that I will do my best to write the next book and not leave readers and myself with too many regrets. At last...... I'm really not digging a pit, I'm just selling pots for cooking, haha. ）
