Chapter 366: The possibility of spirit possession is particularly high
Wang Erquan stopped his chopsticks in mid-air as he looked at his young sister-in-law. Why did he suddenly feel that there was murderous aura in her?
The smile on Liang Zhenghuai's face gradually disappeared, and then he pulled the corner of his mouth: "This... This has nothing to do with me. The result was food poisoning, and you also paid the compensation. How can it be related to me?"
Ye Xiaomei looked at him for a few seconds, then stood up and said with a smile: "Since Boss Liang said so, then just pretend I didn't mention it. After all, money can be earned if it's lost, but if you lose your life, no amount of money can bring it back."
After saying that, Ye Xiaomei stood up and left.
With such an aura, even Wang Erquan didn't dare to eat and just followed behind.
Just as Ye Xiaomei had expected, Liang Zhenghuai did not try to keep her.
She breathed a sigh of relief after leaving the Sanfu Hotel. God, she could clearly see Liang Zhenghuai's thoughts just now. The reason why she was so confident was entirely because she saw the evil spirit in Liang Zhenghuai's heart.
If he wanted the formula but couldn't get it, he would still resort to dirty tricks, so Ye Xiaomei mentioned the matter of the four lives indirectly.
If nothing unexpected happens, Liang Zhenghuai, a suspicious person, will definitely guess that he has evidence. Let's see if he dares to play dirty tricks on him?
Sure enough, Liang Zheng was worried. If she had no evidence, how could she be so confident? She was even more nervous than the boss he met when he was a construction team contractor.
It must be like this. He opened the window and looked at the restaurant across the street. There was a constant stream of people at the door. Every guest who left had a smile on their face, and most of them gave a thumbs up.
He asked many knowledgeable people to dress up as diners and try the recipe many times. They recorded as many ingredients in the recipe as they could taste, but they still couldn't come up with a soup base that tasted the same.
He has sold his house now, his wife has returned to her parents' home with the children, and his father-in-law is no longer willing to help him. He had promised that if he didn't make hundreds of thousands of dollars by switching to the restaurant business, he would never go to see her. Now it seems that everything is much more difficult than he imagined.
On the way back, Wang Erquan didn't say a word.
It was not until they stood at the back door of the rented house under the stars that Ye Xiaomei took the initiative to speak: "Do you have a place to stay temporarily? If not, there is a guesthouse not far east of the dumpling restaurant. It's cheaper there."
This is very obvious, an order to expel you.
Wang Erquan said half dead: "Okay, I may have to stay for a few days. But it seems that sister-in-law is really busy, then...then I have another question, the last question."
Seeing that he was no longer pestering her, Ye Xiaomei immediately agreed straightforwardly: "You go ahead."
Wang Erquan looked around. It was already late autumn. There weren't many people out and about at eight or nine o'clock. He said with relief:
"Can I take the two white snakes in your dormitory in the military district back with me?"
Ye Xiaomei was slightly startled: "I haven't seen it since you searched the dormitory that day. Didn't you secretly take it away?"
When Ye Xiaomei learned that the Black Toad Stone Pot Bottom was stolen by him, she suspected that he had secretly taken it away as well, after all, the two animals are inseparable.
Wang Erquan was stunned: "No, I really didn't find them at that time. Logically speaking, if the two white snakes could follow you back to your family compound, they would definitely hide and find a way to follow you."
Ye Xiaomei's pupils shrank: "Why?"
"Because white snakes are spiritual, they must have some kind of connection with humans if they follow them." Wang Erquan said this while anxiously organizing his words, so much so that he was turning his head in circles, as if he didn't know how to explain it.
"Is there a connection?" Ye Xiaomei broke out in a cold sweat on her back. What she feared was bound to happen. The chilly autumn wind made her feel as if there was a giant snake staring at her from behind.
Wang Erquan nodded and said, "I don't know how to tell you, sister-in-law. I really don't know how to tell you. I was sent back to my hometown this time and told my mother about what happened in the army. Although my mother said I was confused and made me kneel down, when I mentioned you, she was very surprised and asked me about everything about you bit by bit."
"..." Ye Xiaomei swallowed a mouthful of saliva. She really wished she had never encountered any news about the White Snake. The whole story sounded too weird.
Wang Erquan saw Ye Xiaomei's resistance and quickly explained: "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I just said that you said something and that you are a student in the research group. She thinks you may be related to the ancestral snake, so she especially wants to meet you. This is why I especially want you to go to Changshou Village."
Ye Xiaomei wanted to run away at this moment. The image of the white snake as big as a python with its shell broken rushed into her mind as if it was demanding her life. Also, the image of the snake being fixed by rivets and burning in fire flashed by her mind again and again.
"I...I don't know. I don't understand anything. Don't talk nonsense."
Ye Xiaomei was obviously panicked, and her aura was completely different from when she was talking to Liang Zhenghuai just now.
"Don't be afraid, sister-in-law. I'm not talking nonsense. We in Changshou Village have always had a secret passed down from mouth to mouth, which is... Sister-in-law, listen to me, it's really not that scary, sister-in-law..."
Before Wang Erquan could finish his words, there was a loud bang and snap.
Ye Xiaomei had already entered the door, inserted the bolt with a click, and ran into the house in a flash, with a bang.
Ye Xiaomei was breathing heavily. She was a human, not a giant snake. It had nothing to do with her. Yes…it had nothing to do with her. Ye Xiaomei brainwashed herself over and over again.
"Xiao Mei is back." Zhao Mei, who was knitting a sweater on the bed, put the needle and thread in the wool basket:
"It's cold outside now, so don't come back so late. Your face has turned pale from the cold."
As he said this, he lifted the corner of the quilt to signal his daughter to come in and warm herself up.
Ye Xiaomei finally came back to her senses, picked up the kettle and poured a cup of tea, holding it in her hand:
"It's a bit cold."
"Yes, there used to be people eating dumplings at this time in the evening, but now there's no one around at eight o'clock at most. If this continues for another month, I'm afraid they'll close at six or seven o'clock."
Zhao Mei opened the cabinet and took out a cloth bag:
"Look, Qijun's men are pretty nice. They sent us more than ten wild ginsengs and two Ganoderma lucidums as big as our rice bowls. They said they picked them themselves in their hometown and saved them for making chicken or mutton soup in winter."
Ye Xiaomei just took a quick look at them. The quality of these ginsengs was extremely good. Such genuine wild ginsengs might not be sold at high prices in ordinary pharmacies.
Zhao Mei was looking at these tonics and thinking about what to cook when she returned home. Her father's legs had been damaged by cold in his early years, so every winter he had to sew a pair of quilted buckets to protect his knees.
Ye Xiaomei carefully took a sip of the water from the teacup and asked calmly:
"Mom, what did the snake look like when I was ten years old in the mountains of our hometown?"
"What?" Zhao Mei didn't react immediately. She quickly put away the delicious yams and put them in the closet.
"It's white, and it's very big anyway. Why are you asking? Maybe you're always afraid because of the dream. Actually, you don't have to be afraid." Zhao Mei waved her hand and said with a smile:
"It's true that you were sick for a few days afterwards, but I told your uncle Liang about it. He was worried that the big white snake would eat the livestock of the team, so he organized several groups of young men in the village to search our Tieqiao Mountain thoroughly, but they couldn't find any trace of it. We are not afraid anymore. Maybe my mother and I are dazzled."
I thought my daughter would stop being scared after hearing this, but her pupils shrank and she said, "Didn't find it?"
