The small dining room of the lodge is decorated with a unique style and bamboo theme, as if diners are in a bamboo forest in the suburbs.

Although it was already cool in the villa, the vertical air conditioner, which was cleverly hidden in an artificial bamboo leaf, was still blowing a strong cold air.

After Jiang Wei warmly invited everyone to the table, Zhao Wan'er joked: "Mr. Jiang, you are rich and rich, and spending some money is a trivial matter, but the country advocates energy conservation, such a cool environment, you still turn on the air conditioner, is this too expensive?" ”

Jiang Wei said happily: "Entertain a few of you distinguished guests, I don't dare to slack off!" I turned on the air conditioner today, I want you to experience the feeling of eating hot pot in midsummer! You are from the metropolis of Shanghai, and it is not uncommon to find the same set in the hotel, so today I asked the chef to cook all the local dishes of the farmhouse. ”

Zhao Wan'er was also happy and thanked her repeatedly. Jiang Wei said mysteriously: "The main dish for entertaining everyone today is a hot pot. This is stewed with pangolins from the mountains here as the main ingredient, and I hope everyone can eat it to their satisfaction! ”

"Pangolins?" , Zhao Wan'er exclaimed: "This is a national protected animal, how can you eat it?" ”

Jiang Wei's face showed embarrassment, and Li Bing hurriedly said, "Wan'er, it stands to reason that we can't eat pangolins!" But this pangolin has been slaughtered and stewed by the chef, and we can't be resurrected even if we don't eat it, not to mention that Mr. Jiang is also a heart, let's follow the local customs, let's not take it as an example! ”

Jiang Wei heard Li Bing's help, and echoed it, and Zhao Wan'er's face slowly relaxed.

Jiang Wei gave a toast, the banquet officially began, and the atmosphere slowly reached a climax.

Li Bing asked with a sense of wine: "Mr. Jiang, I heard Ergou say that you often dine with Mrs. Zun, why don't you see her come to eat together today?" ”

Jiang Wei was already so drunk that his face was red, and he gasped and said, "Li Bing, although my wife is crazy, I used to make a fortune thanks to my wife. Now that she is like this, how can I bear to abandon her? Usually when there are no guests, I dine with her, and when there are guests, I ask Ergou to deliver the food to her room. Hey, I didn't dare to frighten the guests, and I lost face. ”

Li Bing said: "I see, Mr. Jiang behaves for people, so that my brother admires!" To tell the truth, today we came back from the Puzhao Temple to enter the incense, and happened to meet Mrs. Zun shouting in the bamboo forest, which scared us a lot. She even said, 'She's back, and you're all going to die!'" I don't know who Mrs. Zun hates so much, and she wants to curse others to death! ”

When Jiang Wei heard this, although he couldn't see the change in his face because he drank too much wine, the hand holding the wine glass trembled obviously, and he poured some wine and fell on the table.

Seeing that the opportunity was ripe, Li Bing pretended to have too much wine, panted and took out the photo of Shi Lin from his pocket, raised it in his hand and asked Jiang Wei with red eyes: "Mr. Jiang, we saw Mrs. Zun burning incense and kowtowing in the bamboo forest, and she couldn't stop chattering. Later, after Mrs. Zun asked Ergou to help her back to the villa, we went to take a look, and found this photo on the pile of stones erected by Mrs. Zun. I don't know if the 'she' that Mrs. Zun said is the person in the photo? It's strange to say, how can I see that the person in the photo looks so similar to Shi Lin who my friend commissioned to inquire? ”

Jiang Wei was startled, and the cup in his hand fell to the ground with a 'snap'. His eyes stared at the photo in Li Bing's hand, and muttered: "I don't know, alas, my wife is unfortunate and crazy like this, and I don't know where she found the photo." ”

Li Bing said: "This photo looks very clean, it doesn't look like an old photo or picked up anywhere, it looks like it was taken new." Could it really be Shi Lin's latest new photo? But since she had been here, why didn't she show her face? ”

Jiang Wei's panic was beyond words, and he shouted a little out of shape: "This is impossible, completely impossible, Shi Lin can't take a photo and put it in the bamboo forest!" ”

Li Bing pretended to be strange and said, "Why is Mr. Jiang so sure? Didn't you say you hadn't met Shi Lin? ”

Jiang Wei's body was shocked, and he said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I haven't seen what you said about Shi Lin." It's just that she's been missing for so long, maybe she's dead? If she is really dead, someone will prank and put a picture of a dead person at the entrance of my villa, which is too unlucky. ”

Li Bing was about to ask, when he suddenly heard Shi Liya exclaim: "Look at it, there are words on the photo!" ”

Li Bing was shocked, retracted his hand and looked at the photo carefully, and couldn't help but be dumbfounded. I saw that on the original snow-white background on the reverse side of the photo, a line of yellow-brown handwriting appeared at this moment: "Death to the one who harmed me!" Shi Lin! ”

Everyone was shocked, and Jiang Wei was even more frightened and fell off the seat all of a sudden. Qian Yiduo on the side hurriedly helped Jiang Wei up and said, "Mr. Jiang, what's wrong with you?" Nothing, right? ”

Jiang Wei calmed down and said, "It's okay, I've had too much wine, so I'll go back to my room to rest first." I'm sorry, everyone, I'm missing! ”

Without waiting for everyone to answer, Jiang Wei stood up and walked straight out of the restaurant.

Zhao Wan'er looked at Li Bing with admiration and said, "Li Bing, you are so smart, this trick is very good!" How did you manage to hide the words and then show them? ”

Li Bing's answer was unexpected, he shook his head solemnly and said, "I didn't do it, and I don't know why the handwriting suddenly appeared on this photo, could it really be Shi Lin's ghost manifestation?" ”

At this time, the sound of high heels came, and Xiao Li's figure appeared at the door of the restaurant. She smiled and said, "Everyone, our Mr. Jiang has too much wine, and we can't accompany a few more people." He has specially ordered me to come and entertain you, and I ask for your understanding. ”

Seeing Xiao Li appear, Li Bing and the others immediately stopped the topic, greeted Xiao Li politely, and returned to the table to drink.

The banquet ended, and everyone gathered in Li Bing's room. Li Bing took out the photo of Shi Lin again, and kept holding the terrible words on the reverse side of the photo.

Li Bing put the photo on the table and thought about it. Several other people leaned their heads forward, only to think that the handwriting on the photo was delicate and beautiful, and it really looked like it was from a woman's hand.

Shi Liya looked at the line of words on the photo and said to herself: "Strange, nothing happened at first, and then this terrible word appeared." Why is it that the handwriting, which was yellow-brown when it was first discovered, is now blackened? ”

She suddenly thought of many small stories mentioned in wild history, and her heart moved, so she picked up the photo and sniffed it carefully by her nose for a while.

Shi Liya's actions aroused everyone's curiosity, and they didn't know what she wanted to do, but they all stared at her.

Shi Liya sniffed the photo for a while, and looked at it carefully under the light a few times, with excitement on her face. She said proudly, "I can see why this line suddenly appears in the blank space behind this photo!" ”
