Chapter 164 The Eye of Darkness
After following Xian Hongye back to the restaurant, I went straight to the back kitchen, and at the same time told Hongye to sit down first, and I will prepare a bowl of hangover soup for her. If there is anything, I will wait until Xian Hongye sobers up.

Hongye waved her hand, then climbed up on the table and turned around. Like a little girl, she moved dishonestly, sometimes looking at my iron box with kitchen knives, sometimes playing with the iron box on my table. Tea sets, and finally I studied the diary of my old squad leader.

I looked at her bleary-eyed expression, smiled helplessly, and plunged into the back kitchen.

But when I entered the back kitchen and prepared to turn on the light like a conditioned reflex, I was stunned.

Because in the darkness, I am sure I saw a dim figure, desperately crawling under the stove in the kitchen!
"Who!" I shouted.

At this time, the guy who was desperately trying to get to the bottom of the pot was scolded by me, and he said in an embarrassed voice: "I, Ah Si! I didn't see anything! I definitely won't tell Wang Hou."

I turned on the light and looked at Xiao Ah Si's face full of ashes, suddenly I couldn't laugh or cry.

It was obvious that the little guy saw Hyun Hong Yee's sudden arrival as a "tryst" between me and her.But the truth is not what he imagined at all.

Forget it, I'm too lazy to explain.

Facing the nervous little Ah Si, I asked him to help me first, and made "hangover soup" for Xian Hongye.

Since Xiao Ahsi unlocked the free food Gu, he has completely got rid of the shadow of his former master Xiao Jiu'er, and because of this, he is grateful to Wang Hou and me, and he will not be able to drive us away if he insists on killing us.He said that he would rather not make money, but just give him food.

But also because of his joining, the business of my Bayi Restaurant has improved a lot recently. Many people in the county know that I hired a "little dwarf" as a waiter. It is said that he can also perform acrobatics. Many diners feel that it is new and come here Take a peek.

This little Si is also my little God of Wealth.

After finishing the hangover soup, I knocked little Ah Si on the head and said, "Boy, I have nothing with Xian Hongye, don't think in the wrong direction, and Wang Hou can't deal with him at all. Do you understand?"

Having said that, a strange feeling crossed my mind.Want to say, but can't say clearly.

After little Ah Si smiled at me, he went back to his room to sleep.Then I was alone, carrying a large bowl of sober soup made of tomato and celery juice, and walked into the living room.

In the living room, Xian Hongye was still flipping through the diary left by my old squad leader, she smiled foolishly.

As soon as she saw me coming, she pointed out a page of the diary to me: "You were so naive when you first joined the army! You always confronted the squad leader and made a fool of yourself! You even ate a cursed fish?!"

After listening to Xian Hongye's words, my heart skipped a beat.

The old squad leader is also true, just write about your own affairs, why do you want to write my foolishness in the diary, it's really not interesting.

Therefore, I hurriedly put down the hangover soup, pointed to the diary and said, "You are young and ignorant, give it to me, you hangover first!"

While talking, I hurriedly reached out, trying to snatch the diary that also recorded a lot of my bad deeds.

But at this time, Xian Hongye quit. She smiled at me like a child, and with the help of alcohol, she suddenly shook the diary from side to side to avoid my snatching.

How dare this little girl provoke me? !

After repeating this two or three times, Xian Hongye, whose body was already a little uncoordinated, suddenly "lost out of play".With a sudden shake of her hand, she threw out my old squad leader's diary, and it landed impartially in my big bowl of "hangover soup" with tomatoes and celery.

This sudden situation made me anxious, and Xian Hongye seemed to realize her mistake, with a resentful expression on her face, squinting at me like a little rabbit.

Immediately, she said to me cutely: "You won't scold me, will you?!"

Hey, Hongye is so smart, since she said that, I definitely can't scold her.

In desperation, I gave up my plan to teach a lesson, frowned, and hurriedly fished out the relic of the old squad leader from the soup basin.After shaking it a few times, I found that the inner soil was not soaked, but the cover of kraft paper was finished.

I said seriously, "Don't make such a joke next time."

While talking, I took off the cover of the kraft paper package and wanted to dry it to see if there was any room for recovery.

However, when I took off the kraft paper cover of the old squad leader's diary, a piece of letter paper that I had never seen before quietly fell from the gap between the cover and the body of the book.

Xian Hongye and I looked down at the palm-sized letter paper.

Hongye immediately said: "Pick it up and have a look, it's unusual to put it in such a hidden place!"

I nodded and immediately picked up the piece of paper.

Then a circular pattern came into my eyes.

It was a "stamp" drawn with a ballpoint pen.

Inside the stamp, there are two concentric circles, and in the center of the second concentric circle is a flower that I have never seen before. The flower has only four petals, and these four petals look like a skull when put together. Two dark eyes, a skull smiling at people.

In addition, there are only five simple Chinese characters on this letter paper - "Miao Jiang Goddess Flower".

The five simple Chinese characters were casually marked on the side of the circular pattern by my old squad leader, which seemed to be graffiti.

I looked at the thing and didn't take it seriously.

Isn't Miaojiang the Guizhou area?This pattern must be a kind of flower that my old squad leader saw when he was a soldier in Guizhou. Maybe because he liked it, he drew it casually.

So, I raised my head and told Hongye: "When we were soldiers, we were not allowed to bring mobile phones. Maybe my old squad leader liked this flower, so he drew it."

But compared to my letter in the courtyard, Xian Hongye's face was extremely gloomy.

I don't know why, but she became serious, staring carefully at the paper in my hand, which made me a little nervous.

Afterwards, Xian Hongye stretched out her slightly trembling hand, and with an expression I couldn't understand, she took over the letter paper with the "Miao Jiang Goddess Flower" painted on it.

After looking at it for a long time, Xian Hongye asked me a little excitedly: "Did your squad leader mention this kind of flower to you before his death?"

I can only shake my head, the old squad leader never mentioned any word about this plant before his death.

At this time, Xian Hongye looked at the piece of paper and seemed to remember something extremely important.

She hurriedly said to me: "Is your old squad leader's family kitchen knife still there? Let me take a look!"

Seeing her serious expression, I obviously found some great clues, so I quickly took out the box containing the treasured knife and handed her the kitchen knife.

Hongye took the kitchen knife tremblingly, and then looked carefully at the spine of the knife. She naturally put her eyes on the words "Wanli Jinyi" and the blurred pattern below.

Afterwards, Xian Hongye's eyes widened, and she said to me: "The secret on the Zhao family's kitchen knife has been found!"
