Chapter 3: The People of the City

The figure in the corner of the wall came into my sight, and the corner of my eye met the dark red, round eye again. Our eyes only touched slightly, and the figure that had been peeking out of the corner immediately shrank back.

I pushed away Dong Xiaowei, who was leaning on me, and turned around and chased after the corner.

Dong Xiaowei, who was almost pushed down by me, exclaimed behind me: "Wang Huan, what are you doing?"

"Go to the toilet. I ran into the corner without looking back.

Behind the corner is the end of the viewing platform, except for a drainage pipe, only one person can barely stand, up to the roof of the three-story hotel, below which is the hotel's green belt.

I didn't hear anything heavy on the ground, and there was no sign of the plants in the green belt being crushed, so the guy must have climbed upstairs.

"What are you doing climbing the stairs when you go to the toilet?" Dong Xiaowei's exclamation, I had already grabbed the drainage pipe and climbed to the top of the building: "It's cool up there." Don't peek in. ”

Before I finished shouting, I saw Ye Xun sitting on the roof. The latter, with his guitar case on his back, leaned forward and sat on the roof tiles, nodded to me when he saw me come up.

I looked at Ye Xun: "Why are you here?"

"It's clear here. Didn't you come up too?" Ye Xun's answer left me speechless. But I always felt like there was something wrong with him. I looked Ye Xun up and down a few times and didn't see anything unusual, so I said "excuse me" and jumped back to the platform from the roof.

As soon as I landed, Dong Xiaowei looked at me with a strange face: "You really ...... Running on the rooftop......"

"Ye Xun is also on the roof, and it feels good on it. I casually said a perfunctory word, and then threw down Dong Xiaowei, who was flushed, and slipped back to the room. I was dragged away by Dong Xiaowei just now and didn't have time to take a closer look at the door of the room, and when I rushed back, the front of the guest room had already been cleaned up, and the water stains on the ground that had been wiped with a mop had not yet dried, especially the one in front of my room, which had been specially sprayed with disinfectant.

When I looked at the water on the ground, it dawned on me. No wonder I felt wrong when I looked at Ye Xun just now, it was because he had water stains on his trouser legs. He certainly didn't sit on the roof in the first place, the two of us probably jumped on the roof one after the other.

There is also the fact that Ye Xun's body leans forward slightly, not backwards. The roof is a herringbone slope, and people sitting on it should lean back rather than forward, unless Ye Xun is blocking something.

I was facing Ye Xun head-on, his figure was not burly, and he shouldn't be able to stop a person. What if Ye Xun didn't want to block people, but something elevated?

Rope?

The guy who escaped in front of me should have been caught by Ye Xun, he tied the guy with a rope or something like that and threw it to the back of the ridge, and sat on the roof with the rope himself, so his body leaned forward.

I still haven't practiced my ear skills at home, my classmates were cheering at that time, and I was talking to Dong Xiaowei again, but I didn't hear Ye Xun's sound of doing his hands on the roof, so I didn't suspect anywhere else.

I turned around and ran back to the roof, but there was nothing but a few broken roof tiles, and there was no shadow of Ye Xun. However, I am at least sure that Ye Xun did move on the roof.

Ye Xun can restrain a guy who is almost as big as a person in just a dozen seconds, throw it over the roof and sit down calmly, he is by no means an ordinary person.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that something was wrong, and I couldn't help but find the front desk of the hotel. Finally called the front desk receptionist, and she reluctantly asked, "What's the matter with you?"

I pretended to be casual and said, "I want to find out, which room does a person named Ye Xun live in?"

The waiter subconsciously replied: "This time it is your company chartered, and no one lives here except you." No one has stayed in recent days either. ”

The waiter only reacted when he said this: "Why are you asking this?"

My dad used to teach me that to see if someone is lying, you have to stare at his face, don't let go of any change in the other person's expression, not even the eye. If someone in the antiques business can't do this, you deserve to be cheated to death.

Although I didn't keep a close eye on the waitress's face, I didn't let go of her expression: "Someone opened my door just now and looked into my room." My classmate wouldn't do such a thing, except for the one named Ye Xun, who else can do this? You said that there is no Ye Xun here, you didn't mean to fool me, right?"

The waiter's face turned white all of a sudden: "Don't talk nonsense, how could this happen in our hotel?"

I pressed one hand on the counter and leaned forward slightly: "What does it mean that something can't happen to the hotel? How did I open the door of my room? How did people get in? If you don't give me an explanation, I'll call the police immediately." ”

"Don't ......," the waiter looked left and right to make sure there was no one else nearby, and then whispered, "Don't talk nonsense, if you say something, we won't be able to do business." Yes...... Do you see a fish's eye when someone pushes your door?"

I frowned. At the time, I just thought that something was wrong with that eye, but I didn't think about it, and now that I think about it, only the fish's eye is the round shape.

I nodded quietly, "How do you know?"

The waiter lowered his voice again: "Don't be afraid, don't tell anyone about this, you wait a minute, I'll give you something, and it'll be fine when you sleep by the door." You wait for me. ”

Not long after the waiter left the counter, he mysteriously brought out a plate covered with a red cloth: "Don't worry, if you don't say it, our boss won't treat you badly, and when you leave, there will definitely be a red envelope." ”

I reached out and stroked the red cloth off my plate. Inside was a square-cut, half-cooked piece of meat and two hard-boiled, skinless eggs. If this thing is placed in our northeast, it will be used as a sacrifice to the dead.

I turned my head to look at the hotel entrance, and I remembered that there was a plate like this. There's something like that over there, but it's a little bit more than the one in front of me.

I looked at the waiter and said, "There are dead people in your hotel?"

The waiter shook his head vigorously and said, "Don't talk nonsense." That's the custom on our side. Don't ask so much, do what I say, it's fine. ”

"Is that thing going to find someone else?" I'm not afraid myself, I'm afraid that guy will find someone else.

"No, absolutely not. Otherwise, would I dare to stay here?" the waiter shook his head again and again, "Actually, it's not as serious as you think, and the people who live here have basically seen it." It never hurts, it just scary. ”

The waiter pointed to the plate and said, "If this thing is gone tomorrow morning, you can find me, and I will help you wash the door." If you don't dare to stay in that room, I'll change you right now. ”

"No, I know. "As I walked to my room with my plate, I was thinking about whether or not to tell anyone about it.

This kind of thing is not necessarily believed by anyone, and it does not play any role except for spoiling the fun. Besides, that guy should have fallen into Ye Xun's hands, if there was only one guy like that, everything would be fine, and if there was still the same thing, he would probably only go to Ye Xun.

In a sense, Ye Xun is helping us solve our troubles. My perception of Ye Xun has also changed a lot.

After I threw the plate at the door, I sat on the head of the bed for half the night, until Dong Xiaowei came to call me in the morning, and nothing strange happened. According to the schedule, we should visit Fuxian Lake today and look down on the underwater ancient city.

Dong Xiaowei and I had breakfast and rushed to the lakeside wharf, but we waited at the wharf for a long time and didn't see our car coming. Dong Xiaowei and they called several times but no one answered, and several boys went back to the hotel to look around, but they didn't see the shadow of Che Chi. The tour guide urged vigorously: "You can contact us again, the boat will not wait for anyone! If no one comes after a while, we will really have to sail." ”

Dong Xiaowei hesitated and said, "Wang Huan, you have fast legs, why don't you go back and find it again?"

Before I could speak, Mr. Zhang Shu became angry: "What are you looking for? Che Chi is so old, doesn't he have any sense of time? So many of us are waiting for him, and he doesn't count it in his own heart? He has already looked for him twice! Li Ming and Yang Honghao have just been there, and you have to go to him again, in case we go to two forks, do we still have to wait for Wang Huan? I don't care, if he doesn't come again, I'll get on the boat." It is his own loss that he can't swim in Fuxian Lake, and it has nothing to do with us. ”

Although Zhang Shu's words are not good, most people agree with them. I was a little angry in my heart: "When Li Ming and the others come back, they will get on the boat regardless of whether the car is coming or not." ”

While I was talking, Li Ming ran back alone: "Che Chi has diarrhea, Yang Honghao accompanies him to the hospital, let's go first." ”

Dong Xiaowei said: "Wasn't Che Chi okay when he ate barbecue yesterday?"

Li Ming said as he walked to the boat: "Is it better to have a stomach problem?" They said, let's just take a few more pictures of them." ”

I wanted to ask more, but everyone else was already on the boat, and the tour guide was already arranging for the boat to go offshore, so I didn't ask any more. The boat did not stop until it was about to approach the coastal peaks. The tour guide pointed to the calm water and said: "The sky is beautiful, today the wind and waves are calm, and you can see the underwater city wall." Everybody ......"

Before the tour guide could finish speaking, a group of people all rushed to the side of the boat. I was pushed aside by my classmates and didn't make do any further. When he's seen enough, it's never too late for me to watch it. I had just taken out the cigarette here, and before I lit it, I heard Zhang Shu screaming: "Che Chi...... Che Chi, and Yang Honghao...... The two of them were in the water......"

I was just stunned, and more than a dozen classmates were in a mess, some ran into the cabin, some people took the phone and wanted to call the police, and several girls were already crying in fright.

I parted from the crowd and rushed back to the side of the boat in a few steps, and looked down into the water.

The first thing I saw was a wall that twisted and floated in the shimmering shadows of the water. Just a few seconds later, the shadow of the city wall that was still in the water seemed to condense into substance, and the momentum of breaking through the water surged in front of my eyes.

At that moment, I clearly saw two figures standing on the city wall - Che Chi and Yang Honghao.
