Mantra

Chapter 163 A Touch of Red Cloud

The knife was tightly held in my hand, but it couldn't help but make my heart jump.

After the noon discussion with Old Nineteen, I suddenly felt that it would be difficult to keep this kitchen knife in the face of Old Nineteen's provocation and ability.

After all, modern times are different from the past. I can't carry this knife with me every day, and I can't do what my old squad leader did to put "three corpses poison" on a knife, so that the whole body of the person who touches the kitchen knife will rot.

In short, kitchen knives are very unsafe in my place. Lao Shijiu came to "buy" this time, and if he couldn't keep them all, he would come to "steal" next time.

For the sake of my old squad leader's death, I had to think of a more secure way to keep the kitchen knife.

But how easy is it to think of a safe solution?
After much deliberation, I managed to think of a woman who could help me... Xian Hongye!

She is so smart, and her family has some strength, if she can help me think of a way to take care of the knife, wouldn't it be very easy.

As soon as I had this idea, I was not sitting down at the time, so I took out my mobile phone and made a call.

During the long wait, I kept thinking about the subtle changes in the relationship between Xian Hongye and me after returning from Lunan.

The trip to Lunan was said to be close to death.In the grotesque and shocking scenes, I, Xian Hongye, Zhao Shuihe and others all had a deep understanding of each other.Especially Xian Hongye, everyone has become good friends with each other and can talk about everything.He called me Lao Tian, ​​and I prefer to call her Ye Zi.

But... just friends.

After returning to my restaurant, our life quickly returned to peace. Xian Hongye often came to my restaurant to eat, and Wang Hou still had a crush on him, so every dish she ate was actually made by Wang Hou in the kitchen. .

That taste... can't be mentioned at all!

Later, because Wang Hou’s cooking was too unpalatable, Hongye came less often. The stupid Wang Hou didn’t notice it, but asked me if Xian Hongye saw his good intentions. I’m sorry to come. .

I don't have much to say, so I can only prevaricate and say that Hongye is probably busy, so let him wait patiently.

But later I learned that things were not that simple. The reason why Hongye came less was because she was busy with her promotion, and she might be transferred from this county to become a department head in a big city.

In short, we should not spend much time together.

... Just when I was thinking wildly, Hongye's phone finally dialed, and there was a crisp greeting from the receiver, as well as soothing background music and laughter of men and women...

Listening to the music, I immediately realized that Xian Hongye seemed to be attending a reception, and it should be a tall horn glass, a Western reception of wine.

This girl is indeed not from the same "world" as us.

"Yezi!" I greeted a little apologetically, "Didn't bother you? Are you busy..."

To my surprise, Xian Hongye on the phone immediately responded with an excited laugh.

Afterwards, Hongye suppressed her excitement and voice and said to me: "Old Tian! You made this call at the right time! Do you have something urgent to call me!"

I was stunned and said yes, and at the same time felt that Xian Hongye was really smart, did he even know when I was in a hurry?

After getting my affirmative answer, Hongye was as excited and hurried as if she was beating chicken blood. She couldn't help but tell me directly: "You saved my life! Don't say anything now! Let's talk when I go over! Eight See you at the hotel…”

Afterwards, Xian Hongye, the crazy girl, immediately hung up my phone, and in the long blind tone, I was left lying on the bed alone, staring dryly.

What do you mean? !Xian Hongye... want to come over? !
Numbly, I looked up at my watch and found that it was already 09:30.

In the county town, this time can definitely be called "late night".She is a big girl, why is she running to me, a single man?Could it be...she is interested in me?
But I soon, I stopped this absurd idea, because I heard from Xian Hongye's fleeing voice just now, she is probably busy with a party, and it is very likely that she is trying to get rid of this party, or a party Someone on the Internet just pleaded that he would come over.

Thinking of this, my mood suddenly relaxed a lot, and then I jumped out of bed, put away all the kitchen knife and the old squad leader's diary, and found another sportswear to hide my embarrassment.Then I went back to the restaurant in the front yard, brewed two cups of tea by myself, and waited for Xian Hongye's "visit".

While waiting silently, I felt a little bored, so I took out the kraft paper-wrapped diary of the old squad leader and flipped through it randomly.

The diary left to me by the old squad leader was written by him when he was a soldier.

I have to say that this diary is the greatest wealth left to me by my old squad leader.Because it records a lot of his experience in cooking and the hidden rules of the Wu Zang Temple, and many things that he couldn't say because of the political environment back then are also recorded in it.

Many "curse-eating" and "voodoo poison" that I have encountered before can be made and dealt with. It opened my eyes and taught me many life-saving and self-protection techniques.

This diary is like a master teaching his disciples. He told me many experiences and stories, and also told me many ways to cure diseases and save lives.

Also because of these methods, I now regard this diary of the old squad leader as a treasure. Whenever I have time, I will take it out and read it, and learn some very interesting tips from it.

In this way, while looking at the diary of the old squad leader, I waited for the arrival of the red leaves. Unknowingly, a long time passed, and it was not until there was a rush of tricks outside the hotel that I suddenly crawled out of the world of diaries. Come out, hurriedly opened the door for Xian Hongye.

When I opened the door, I immediately saw Xian Hongye turning her head and smiling at me.

That way, I am astonished!

Under the dim moonlight, I saw Hongye in a floor-to-ceiling red evening dress "dressed up". She was kicking her feet, holding high heels and car keys in her hand, and looked at me with a smirk.

That way... like a bride who's run away from a wedding.

Xian Hongye threw the car keys to me, suddenly smiled and said, "Am I pretty?"

I smelled the alcohol on her body, looked at her flushed face, and calmly shook my head, "You drank too much! Still driving? Aren't you afraid of accidents?"

Hongye walked into my restaurant carelessly, and waved at me at the same time: "Socializing! I am very good at socializing today, and it's all because of you stinky men! I like wine, but I hate those men, and I also hate my father! Very If you want to come, you also said that you will give me a promotion..."

While speaking, she walked into my shabby restaurant like a gorgeous red cloud.

I looked at the back of her losing her composure, smiled helplessly, and then closed the store door.

Being alone and widowed always makes me feel weird.
