Those years when I hunted demons in Dali Temple

Chapter 148 Tick Tock
Everyone's attention focused on Wang Xuanzhi and the bowl of pickled bamboo shoots on the table.After Dao Yi hinted at the two of them, she sneaked away. She wanted to go to investigate first when everyone was on the second floor.

The first thing she suspected was the back kitchen on the first floor.

Along the back of the corner of the steps on the second floor, a small door was opened for two people to walk side by side. A sky-blue cloth was hung as a curtain. Open the curtain and go in. Passing by a small yard, there is a well in the yard, and the surrounding is wet. It should be caused by frequent water intake.

Enter through the draft and pass a short corridor.

From here you can enter the back kitchen.

There are many kinds of food in the back kitchen.

Bamboo shoots did not appear here, they are all eaten fresh, and some of them are transported from the south according to those who eat them. This kind of food protection has become a difficult point. But there is still snow on the mountain.

It stands to reason that there should be a place to put bamboo shoots.

She thought of the well in the backyard, part of which was frozen in the well.

She didn't notice any unusual smell in the well.

She probed inside and saw nothing but food.

Dao Yi didn't look for the bamboo shoots immediately, but checked the kitchen first. He picked up every food and smelled it, but there was no smell like the pickled bamboo shoots. He even checked every knife for cutting vegetables and meat. , still no taste.

She was standing next to the big cooking pot in the kitchen. Part of the firewood in the stove was still burning. Although the fire was small, the fire was still burning. The soup in the big iron pot was still bubbling, gurgling. Gulu's white and fragrant smell permeated the entire kitchen.

Daoyi picked up the big iron spoon next to the pot, filled a spoonful of soup, it was pickled bamboo shoots, it was really too delicious, her stomach was still half empty, she swallowed shamefully, and cursed secretly, "I really hope It's not human blood."

After sighing, he put down the spoon and wanted to see if there was anything missing.

"Answer—" is the sound of dripping water.

Daoyi thought she had heard it wrong, so she listened carefully, another drop fell, and this time she confirmed that she heard it right, but where did the sound come from, so she listened carefully again.

She turned around suddenly, the voice came from above the iron pot.

After the water boiled, it was smoky, and when a group of cooks were frying, there was such a slight sound that it was difficult for anyone to notice it. If the people in the kitchen hadn't left, only the sound of firewood burning, she It may not be able to hear.

Dao raised his eyes and looked at the roof. The wooden beams were pieced together to form the roof. It may have been a long time ago. There were some gaps in the wooden boards, and the things that dripped into the iron pot leaked out from the gaps.

While she was looking at it, a few more drops had already dripped.

Daoyi stretched out his palms to catch a drop, and rubbed it with his fingers, the blood was still fresh, and the color of the blood was also very bright, perhaps because the heat was rising from the bottom, the blood dripped all the time, and even became more frequent.

The problem should be on top of the kitchen.

Dao's eyes turned cold, the blood was undoubtedly human blood.

She glanced faintly at the roof, then turned and stepped out of the kitchen.

Just as Shi Yang was about to tell what he found strange, he heard someone shout from the crowd: "Si Qing, there is indeed a problem with the back kitchen." At the same time as Dao Yi said, the eyes of Xuan Zhi and the two quickly swept across the crowd.

Attracted by the content of the words, the crowd spontaneously made a gap, revealing the person standing at the stairs, Daoyi was there, she did not go over, but said, "Si Qing, I have found the source. "

Wang Xuanzhi asked, "Where did it come from?"

"On the roof of the back kitchen."

Wang Xuanzhi looked at the shopkeeper with lightning-like eyes, "Shopkeeper, tell me what is above the back kitchen."

The shopkeeper was already dumbfounded, when did this kid run to the back kitchen.

And he hasn't figured out what happened until now. The place where the accident happened was in the kitchen of his restaurant. His heart was beating violently, and he always felt that something great happened. son.

"The back kitchen is smoked all day long, and I dare not use it to greet guests. When I first built it, I separated a storage room according to the location of the back kitchen and piled up sundries, which didn't affect the kitchen. what."

After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he looked at him nervously, "Si Qing, there are some common things in my utility room, and some dry goods, such as smoked cured meat, are put in there, and there are some things that are not usually used. furniture or something."

After hearing this, Wang Xuanzhi only said to him, "Now take us upstairs to the back kitchen."

The shopkeeper touched his waist a few times, and his expression changed. He said with a mournful face, "Siqing, my key is missing." Fearing that Wang Xuanzhi would not believe him, he lifted up the hem of his clothes, revealing a black thread on his trouser belt, "today It’s still tied around my waist.”

Now Li Shangshu, who was passively watching the excitement, also felt that something was wrong. He asked the old friend who came with him with his eyes: What is the big deal? Let's get acquainted.

The old friend nodded approvingly: "It's really too wicked. When I see the three of them in the future, I can't meet them even if I take a long way around."

"Do you have a spare key?"

The shopkeeper slapped his forehead violently, and the people next to him only heard a crisp sound, as if their own brains hurt, and they slapped themselves until their eyes were dizzy, and their brains were buzzing. After a while, he I just came back to my senses.

With more strength than patting himself, he hit the standing person, "You brat, hurry up and take out the spare key for me." Shi Yang, who was enjoying the same treatment, slapped him from the waist like a puppet. He took off the key and handed it to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper took the keys and immediately led everyone to the utility room, saying as he walked, "Actually, the layout of the second floor is the simplest. It's in the corner of the second floor, at the same location as the kitchen on the first floor. There are screens interspersed between them. No one will notice."

After a while, they came to the end of the passage, and the shopkeeper's face burst into a smile, but seeing the faces of Wang Xuanzhi and the others, he immediately suppressed his smile again, took a deep breath, inserted the key into the hole, and the lock was locked instantly. opened.

The shopkeeper silently prayed in his heart that nothing serious would happen.

The restaurant is the lifelong painstaking effort of him and his wife, it is hard won, and it will be left to his children in the future, so he glanced at Shi Yang who followed him all the way.As for this silly nephew, he also prepared a copy for him.

The door is already open.

Daoyi went in first, followed closely by Wang Xuanzhi.

Chen Yizhi blocked all the people outside the door, including the shopkeeper. They could only stand outside the door and look in.

"Siqing, look."

What to look at?
The figures of the two were blocked by a tall piece of furniture.

Li Shangshu and his old friend almost didn't get their noses crooked by the crowd.

No one could see what was going on inside.
