CHAPTER XVIII
After returning to Zhou's house, everyone drank tea and rested for a while, and then began to prepare for today's celebration banquet.
And I didn't go to mix with them, like Zhang Mi, I locked myself in my room when I came back, Zhang Mi sat and meditated, and the strange guy we rescued was still lying on the bed and didn't wake up, while I was holding a small mirror to look around.
When I came back to wash my face, I found that my forehead was very painful, as if I had been bitten by some insect, so I quickly ran back and took the mirror to look at my forehead.
Although the piece of jade disappeared on my forehead, I could clearly see that there was a red claw mark in the center of my forehead, which was almost the same as the ghost claw carved on the white jade, and it was like a tattoo on my forehead.
I held the small mirror in one hand, and gently touched the red claw mark with the other, and found that there was no discomfort.
However, when I touched it again with some water on my finger, the claw marks on my forehead felt a burning pain, and my forehead would become extremely cold when it was wet.
I quickly wiped the water off my forehead and covered it with my hair again.
I was afraid that Zhang Mi would see it inadvertently, so I found a waterproof band-aid to block the red claw marks on that forehead.
As for why I should use a waterproof band-aid, this is because I am afraid that the claw mark will get water again, because it hurts when I touch a little water, and I don't know what will happen if I go into the water!
The Zhou family doesn't have a computer, if you want to find information about this thing, I think you have to wait until you go back to the city, anyway, the Zhou family has nothing to do, so wait patiently for two days!
In the past few days, it's a ghost and a demon, but it's really tired enough for me, a super otaku.
Although I slept peacefully last night, I started to get sleepy again, and I fell asleep as soon as I lay down in bed.
But what! Before I fell asleep, I thought there was still a lot of work to be done!
Pay a commission to the yin cha Cui Lao Shui Boil, the haunted shroud shop, and the auditory hallucinations in my ears......
Also, it's almost July 15, and I have to take the time to go back to my hometown to go to the grave!
When Waist woke me up, it was already dark, and Waist said that the food was all ready and there was wine, and told me to hurry up.
I changed into a loose T-shirt, washed my face again, woke up and took a nap, and followed.
There were two tables in the large living room, one table was me, Zhang Mi, Waist and Old Man Zhou, and the other table was the people who were called by the village to help.
Although Zhou Yaxiao's body has not yet recovered, she can now move around, she sat next to Old Man Zhou, and I sat on the other side of her.
I said to her, "Now you look and feel so much better than you did in the morning!" ”
She rubbed her hair and smiled at me and said, "Yes! Thanks to you! Thanks! ”
"You're welcome, where is that?"
Waist interjected and said: "This is what our Xiaoxian should do, Yaxiao, you don't need to be polite" Waist said while squeezing his eyebrows at me.
"Yaxiao, you don't know! The situation was urgent that day, if it weren't for Xiaoxian's mouth-to-mouth with you in time......"
As soon as I heard that my waist was pulling some useless again, I picked up a chopstick and threw it at him: "I can't stop your mouth when I eat!" ”
Zhou Yaxiao may have also heard her waist say that mouth-to-mouth, she immediately covered her small mouth with her fingers, and looked at me with a very innocent and unaware look!
I said to Zhou Yaxiao: "Yaxiao, you listen to him foolishly!" He always likes to joke like this! ”
The waist said again: "What nonsense, didn't you listen to me!" I went to sleep that night! I was woken up by Xiaoxian's scream, he said something was wrong, I lifted my pants and ran out, and I saw that there was a female ghost in red in your house! I saw that Zhang Mi hadn't come over yet, so I went up and kicked it first, and guess what, I'm ......"
Suddenly, his waist was lowered and he leaned on the chair and did not move.
Zhang Mi looked at me and said, "He's too noisy!" ”
I secretly laughed in my heart to the point that my waist is really bragging about not paying taxes, now it's okay, I can't blow it!
"Let's borrow it, the last dish 'sweet and sour carp'" shouted a young man about my age, who put the dish in the center of our table and said, "Okay, the dishes are ready, everyone use them slowly." ”
Then he turned around and whispered in my ear, "Come to the back kitchen after eating." Then he walked outside.
I secretly said in my heart, do I know this person?
I don't remember how he knew me, but looking at the way he looks, he has something to say to me, and he hasn't said it yet, it seems to be a private matter! Then again, we don't know him, what can I do if I look for him?
I was a little curious and asked Zhou Yaxiao, "Who is this person?" ”
Zhou Yaxiao said: "Is this person serving food?" Him! His name is Li Baishuo, the child of the head of our village, who learned a good cooking skill in a technical school, but he has just graduated and has not found a job, so he stays at home! Today my dad called him over to help, I was sick and my mom couldn't cook so many dishes by herself! I nodded to Zhou Yaxiao.
Old Man Zhou stood up and said to everyone: "Today, our old Zhou family, although something happened to the ancestral tomb, but fortunately, our Zhang Daochang is here, so he is safe and sound, here we toast Zhang Daochang with a glass of wine!" As he spoke, he picked up his glass.
Zhang Mi also stood up and signaled, we all raised the cups in our hands to pay tribute and thank Zhang Mi, if it weren't for him so many things, we wouldn't know what to do!
At this point, I'm no longer angry with this guy, and I actually have a little more admiration for him.
After toasting, Old Man Zhou continued: "We have a good fortune today, Bai Shuo, the chef of our village, personally cooked a table of good dishes for us today, and everyone can taste it." His cooking is delicious! Everyone doesn't have to be polite to open up to eat, Lao Zhou's family is enough! ”
Turns out this guy is a cook!
I haven't eaten much for a day, and I'm hungry too, so let's try his craft first, regardless of what he's looking for me!
I picked up the chopsticks and tasted a few dishes, but I didn't think that this kid named Li Baishuo really had two times, and the dishes were all colorful, flavorful, and delicious, just an ordinary fried shredded potatoes made and ate out of the taste of home!
After thirty years of wine, five flavors of food, everyone ate almost, and the helpers also returned to their homes one after another, Zhou Yaxiao couldn't drink wine, so she and her mother went to rest early, and there were only a few old men Zhou and us left in the whole living room, and the waist had already woken up, but at this time he drank a little too much, stuffed chicken legs in his mouth, and fell asleep on the table.
Zhang Mi and Mr. Zhou chatted very well, and I didn't want to listen to it on the side, so I went to the toilet and walked towards the kitchen.
The young man named Li Baishuo was sitting on a chair in the kitchen smoking a cigarette, and when he saw me coming, he hurriedly welcomed me in, found a clean chair for me to make, and brought me a cup of tea.
I said to him, "If you have anything, you can say it, don't use it!" ”
He smiled and said: "A master is a master, and at first glance, he is extraordinary and ordinary people!" I'll tell you the truth, I do have something to ask for. ”
Next, I learned from what Li Baishuo said that after graduating from junior high school, Li Geunshuk went to a technical school, but his grades were not very satisfactory, and later there were many transfer chefs in their school.
He felt that the prospect of becoming a chef was not bad, after all, the country now has fewer technicians, so he signed up, and has been studying at the ** Chef Academy in Beijing for several years, and what he wants to say is what happened when he was interning at the beginning of this year.
It was March of this year, and Li Baishuo was hired to work as a side dish at a five-star hotel.
However, the second week after he entered the hotel, there began to be a tragedy in the hotel where the waiter died in the guest room, and in just five days, two waiters died tragically.
It is said that when the service was born and died, all his faces were stiff and pale, his eyes were wide and his mouth was wide open, after this happened, Li Baishuo began to become worried, because a week ago he just found a girl he liked, but Li Baishuo has not pursued her yet, and is currently just an unrequited love crush, and this girl is officially a waitress in this hotel.
In order to operate normally, the hotel didn't publicize this matter, but just sealed off the rooms of the two dead people, gave them some consolation money at home, and said that the waiter died suddenly caused by ** without permission, and it was not good for the hotel and his own family to spread it, so this matter was suppressed.
But the hotel was afraid that the staff in the hotel would spread the word about it, so they gave each person a hush money.
He also invited some charlatans to do the rituals, and I don't know if it's true or not, but after that, the hotel was really stable for a long time.
But something happened again a few days ago.
Because he was afraid that something would happen to the girl, Li Baishuo would put on the clothes of a male waiter every time he finished serving the dishes and followed behind the girl, wanting to protect her safety.
Late one night, Li Baishuo finished preparing the dishes, put on the clothes of a waiter as usual, and secretly followed the girl, and when the girl entered a room, Li Baishuo clearly heard a few sounds of breaking things, but immediately quieted down.
Li Baishuo was worried that something would happen, so he secretly looked in the crack of the cong door, and found that a white-skinned hand was pinching the girl's neck at this time, and the girl didn't struggle before she died, just her hands down, her eyes widened and she looked at the ceiling, and there was a laugh in her mouth, Li Baishuo was so frightened that he quickly spread his legs and ran out, and the next day he took sick leave and didn't go to work, hiding at home and not daring to go out.
However, during the period when Li Baishuo was at home, he would have the same dream every time he slept, and it was the same woman in a white dress, stretching out the same pair of bloody hands to pinch his neck.
He was very scared and called the family to see if there was a way to solve it, and his father, who was also the village chief, told him that the Zhou family had been haunted recently, and he heard that a few high-ranking people had been invited from Beijing to solve the matter, and it seemed that the grave had not left in the past two days, and Li Baishuo rushed back by car overnight after knowing it.
It just so happened that today we celebrated that he came to help, and it was a coincidence that this thing came to the door, and this matter came to the door like this.
