Tomb raiding: following the plot while tearing up the script

Chapter 261 5 Snake Soup

When the four men reappeared at the entrance of the New Moon Hotel in suits, the waiter arranged by Xie Yuchen had been waiting there for a while.

Just as the young man was getting impatient, he finally saw four people strolling over.

Two young men who looked somewhat alike, one a thug wearing sunglasses and the other a long-haired kid—it was them!

"Greetings, gentlemen. I was sent by Master Hua to pick you up. You can call me Xiao Liu. Master Hua is already waiting for you in the private room. Please come in."

The young man, who called himself Xiao Liu, was very enthusiastic and articulate. He always had a polite smile on his face, which made people feel very comfortable listening to him.

The group nodded to him and followed him inside.

Just then, a sleek, understated black sedan pulled up in front of the Crescent Hotel.

A young woman in a cheongsam and with exquisite makeup got out of the car, and then turned around to help a dignified and elegant old woman out of the car.

The old woman looked quite old. Her snow-white hair was neatly tied up in a bun. She wore a dark-colored handmade cheongsam with a matching embroidered shawl. Her gentle and graceful attire, combined with her slightly sharp eyebrows and eyes, gave her a rather assertive air.

The greeter at the entrance had been waiting there since he saw the license plate, and only approached the two people respectfully to speak to them after they had stopped.

"Xiuxiu, what are you looking at?"

After exchanging a few words with the welcoming staff, Huo Xiangu turned around and saw her granddaughter staring blankly at the backs of the people who had just entered. She couldn't help but ask.

Huo Xiuxiu shook her head and gave Huo Xiangu a sweet smile. "It's nothing, I just saw an acquaintance."

"Is that the child Xiaohua adopted?" Huo Xiangu asked.

amount……

It seems that there are indeed rumors circulating outside that Ali is Xiaohua's adopted child.

They also said that Little Flower Brother dotes on an adopted child like a treasure, but doesn't seem to care about his own family's children at all, blah blah blah...

That's being polite; some of the rumors are downright offensive and offensive.

Seeing that Huo Xiuxiu only smiled awkwardly and did not respond to her words, Huo Xiangu did not mind and had the hostess lead her into the private room reserved for the Huo family.

Su Li and the others ignored the commotion behind them and followed Xiao Liu upstairs to the second floor.

Xiao Liu carefully knocked three times on one of the doors, and only after receiving a "come in" response from inside did he push the door open.

"You've finally arrived! If you hadn't come, I would have lost two ounces of fat from my belly."

Fatty Wang hugged his round belly and complained about his procrastination.

Su Li chuckled as she rubbed Fatty's soft belly, and then gently patted it at the end.

"Fatty, with your belly, do you really care about a few ounces of fat?"

Wang Pangzi didn't care at all that Su Li was using his belly as a racket; he even proudly puffed out his belly, making sure his fat belly was present.

Xiao Liu led the gentlemen to the ground and then left, before heading to the kitchen to arrange for the dishes to be served.

Not long after the group sat down, graceful waitresses filed in, and one after another, exquisitely presented dishes were placed on the table.

A waiter, whose attire and demeanor were noticeably different from the others, gracefully gestured to Xie Yuchen before the group left the private room, gently closing the door behind them.

Only after all the service staff had left did Zhang Tata, who had been feeling extremely uncomfortable, finally breathe a sigh of relief and carefully tugged at her suit jacket.

This outfit is truly torturous. It binds your entire body, and once you put it on, you feel like you don't dare to make any big movements. Wearing this kind of outfit can directly reduce your combat power by 20%.

What awful clothes! They're totally impractical for fighting. Thumbs down!

"Let's eat first. You must be hungry after being out for a walk."

Xie Yuchen greeted Zhang Tata with a smile, but the others didn't need to be greeted; they started serving each other soup and vegetables on their own.

And then there's Hei Xiazi and Wang Pangzi, who started bickering again while they were eating... I really want to slap them both and yell, "Eat if you want, or get lost!"

With the noise the two of them were making, he was afraid that Xiao Zhang wouldn't be able to eat much of his food later.

Zhang Tata looked guiltily at the ceiling above her head, thinking about the content of their so-called activities.

He really didn't expect that they would come here to put Zhang Rishan's sack right after running here, change their clothes, and then come here to eat.

Looking at the other three who were so confident and not at all guilty, it seems that my own mental fortitude is too weak.

The other three: What the heck? We didn't put any sacks on anyone, didn't we? You did it all, what do we have to be guilty about?

After taking a sip of the clear soup in the bowl, the delicious flavor melted in her mouth. Just as Zhang Tata was about to take a second sip, she froze on the spot.

Wu Xie, who was sitting directly opposite him, pulled out another bowl from somewhere, filled it with soup and meat, and placed it on the empty seat next to him.

Then...

A long, fiery red creature with a bright red rooster comb poked its head out from Wuxie's sleeve, flicking its tongue as it crawled toward the bowl of soup.

If he remembered correctly, this pot of soup was snake soup.

The waiter just announced the name of the dish, something like Five-Snake Soup?

"You silly apprentice, you're really something. You've given snakes snake soup. Even the King of Hell would have to swear brotherhood with you."

Hei Xiazi couldn't help but laugh as he watched Qian Duoduo dive into the bowl, grab a piece of snake meat, and swallow it whole.

Wu Xie pushed Qian Duoduo aside, who was practically wagging its tail like a rattlesnake, and slapped its head, which was about to bury its whole body in the bath.

"What's the big deal? We Qian Duoduo's kind have eaten countless others, why would we be afraid of eating our own kind?"

The pheasant that almost killed Aning had its neck riddled with holes by Qian Duoduo's bites, and was nearly dead before it was finally eaten.

Zhang Tata looked up and met the gaze of the venomous snake named Qian Duoduo. The cold, sinister look in its eyes, unique to snakes, made him slightly uncomfortable.

He had lived in the mountains for so many years, and encountering venomous snakes was commonplace for him, but he could guarantee that any venomous snake he encountered in his life would be instantly killed if it faced this one.

He was truly impressed by Wu Xie's habit of slapping Qian Duoduo every now and then.

When Qian Duoduo tried again to squeeze its entire body into the bowl, which was far too small to accommodate the little fat snake, Wu Xie finally lost patience.

A mahogany chopstick was easily pierced into the solid wood table. Qian Duoduo's thick, long snake body was tied in a knot. The mahogany chopstick passed through the gap between the knots and pinned the snake to the tabletop.

"Eat your food properly, or I won't take you out anymore."

After uttering a final threat, Wu Xie ignored the increasingly mischievous little snake. Honestly, even this big snake wasn't as well-behaved as Ali.
