Mantra

Chapter 167
At night, I tossed and couldn't sleep, and I always felt uneasy. It seemed that when I closed my eyes, I could see Old Nineteen's weird smile and unique four eyebrows, as if he was always stretching out his hand, threatening me to hand over the kitchen knife .

I hate the way he looks!
Later, I simply put the kitchen knife under my pillow to "calm the nerves and ward off evil spirits".

The reason why I do this is because I read in the diary of the old squad leader, he said that when the ancients could not sleep, they would put kitchen knives or scissors under the pillow, which is called "serving with the sword". It has the effect of calming the nerves.

The old squad leader also specifically mentioned that this practice is related to the cook’s dependence on the kitchen knife, because it is superstitious that putting the knife under the head can let the “knife spirit” in the knife protect itself, thereby preventing ghosts from harming the body. invasion.

Whether it works or not, let me take it as a kind of psychological comfort...

Later, I don't know if I was too sleepy, or I got a hint from my mind. In short, after I lay my pillow on the knife, I suddenly felt a lot more comfortable and fell asleep very quickly.

... Early the next morning, before I woke up, I suddenly felt someone kicking the door. The sound of kicking the door was loud, like an earthquake.

I jumped up from the bed directly, and in panic, I held a kitchen knife in one hand and pushed open the door with the other.

Standing outside... are Wang Hou and Ah Si.

The difference from me is that Wang Hou has a house in the county, so he doesn't live in the restaurant with us, so he seldom appears in front of me so early.Most of the time, I packed my clothes and waited for him in the hotel lobby.

However, his appearance is not very surprising.

"My God!" I looked at their indifferent expressions and quickly wiped off my sweat.

I put away the kitchen knife and complained: "Why is there such a loud knock on the door? It's the same as the North Korean nuclear test, scaring me to death?"

Facing my questioning, Wang Hou chuckled and said, "Last night... Xian Hongye came to look for you?"

Wang Hou's words made me face up quickly, and then I glanced at the little Ah Si who was huddled in the corner, looking at his wicked eyebrows, there must be no doubt that he said it!

But the matter has come to this point, I have nothing to hide, so I said to Wang Hou: "It's not what you think..."

But before I finished speaking, Wang Hou waved his hand at me and said, "You don't need to explain to me. You just tell me where she and I have developed."

Wang Hou's words made me stunned.I didn't react for a while, let alone answer his words.

Because I can't think of an answer.

But at this time, Wang Hou looked at my expression, but couldn't help sneering: "Hehe, I have nothing to say! These days, I have already seen that you two have problems, and she looks at you in the wrong way!"

When Wang Hou said this, there were obviously childish elements, and he was sincere to Xian Hongye. In this regard, all of us can see it.

Besides, I am his brother and comrade-in-arms, how could I possibly rob a woman with him.

Therefore, I hurriedly said: "Old Wang, don't think about it, the relationship between me and Ye Zi... It is a military-civilian fish-water relationship, a pure revolutionary friendship, and it is different from what you think."

"Ouch!" Wang Hou suddenly covered his chest, and complained to me in an extremely "heartache": "You two are both 'fish and water', and you still say it's nothing?! Are you lying to ghosts?"

Wang Hou's words made me suddenly understand a truth.

It is very dangerous to talk with ghostly people, and it is easy to lead to more extreme associations.

Besides, Wang Hou is very naive when it comes to relationship issues, he never seems to have thought about it, so what if he can catch up with Xian Hongye?He was born in the second generation of the rich, and he couldn't afford the rhythm of killing him every minute.

Although Hongye is not arrogant, everyone knows that the clothes she buys every month are enough for us to eat for several years.

In short, all of us are not in the same class as others, and the level of communication between them is obviously different.Occasionally eat a meal, say a word, be a wife... don't even think about it.

In desperation, I knew that I had inadvertently stung the nerves of my poor comrade-in-arms, and now he also urgently needs comfort.

So, I sat beside him and patted his back, but just as I was about to speak, I heard Xian Hongye's crisp voice coming from the front desk of the restaurant.

She rushed to the back recklessly and shouted: "Old Tian! Let's go! Don't talk nonsense about what happened last night, and I will let everyone know when I have a clue."

In this world, why do you want me to die...

Because of Hong Ye's words, I was strangled to death by Wang Hou's big hand. The boy said viciously while pinching me: "How dare you betray the organization! How dare you poach the wall!"

I was "overwhelmed" by Wang Hou's anger, my breathing was short, and I felt like my brain was about to explode, but just when I thought I was about to die, Wang Hou suddenly let go of his hand.

Afterwards, he stood up and said to me: "It's not worth breaking the brotherhood because of a woman. I just want to vent it, don't take it to heart. Treat Hongye well in the future, or I'll break your leg !"

Then, Wang Hou turned around, flushed the toilet and walked out.

With grief and anger in his heart, he kept muttering: "The wind is rustling, the water is cold, and the strong man will never return..."

Do you think this bastard is cool?Is it great?But that's not the case at all!

But amidst Xian Hongye's call, I didn't have time to explain anything.

So, I picked up the kitchen knife first, and told Ah Si to watch out for Wang Hou not to have any "accidents", and then ran out quickly to stabilize Hongye first.

In the confusion, I ran to Hongye at the front desk and said eagerly, "Grandma! Can you lower your voice! You will be misunderstood!"

"What is the misunderstanding?" Xian Hongye blinked her big eyes, not knowing why, and said, "What can I misunderstand by having a meal together?"

Looking at Xian Hongye's "innocent" expression, I found that there are some words that I really can't say.

I can't tell her: Wang Hou misunderstood that I have a "fish-water relationship" with her!It's too dirty.

So, after I sighed a few times, I didn't say anything after all.

Afterwards, I told Hong Ye to wait, and I went to call Shang Wang Hou, and we all went to the provincial capital for dinner.

Unfortunately, Wang Hou locked himself in the toilet. No matter how I explained it, he just said "don't go".

So many times, I was forced to give up the idea of ​​going with Wang Hou.

So, I had no choice but to turn around and tell Ah Si not to do business today, let him take care of the ghostly Wang Hou first, and explain to him personally when I go to the provincial capital to settle the kitchen knife problem.

After giving the order, I went back to the front desk.She is going to go to the provincial capital with Xian Hongye to meet her father and Japanese stepmother.

Before leaving, Xian Hongye asked me puzzled, "Aren't Wang Hou and Ah Si going?"

I glanced in the direction of the toilet in the backyard, then shook my head helplessly and said, "Brother Hou ate too much mustard oil in the morning, and you are venting in the toilet. It's pitiful and disgusting."

Hongye lied: "Wake up and eat mustard in the morning?!~"

"Hehe!..." I smiled wryly, and responded casually, "I'm so delusional!"
