Chapter 160: The Town Hotel
At about eleven o'clock in the evening, the long-distance bus stopped on time in Mincheng Ancient Town, and the driver's voice woke up Zhao Ming and the other passengers in the car.
Seeing that other passengers also began to get off the bus one after another, after a while, Zhao Ming and several other passengers also stepped out of the car under the driver's urging again.
Out of the station, Zhao Ming felt a little cool in the night breeze, he woke up after falling asleep in the car just now, he was still a little confused, but he was extremely awake when the wind blew at this time, and he was completely sleepy in an instant.
The night view of this ancient town of Mincheng at night is also very pleasing to the eye, making people feel indescribably silent, not far away there are a few passengers who got off the bus with Zhao Ming walking in front, and soon after, everyone disappeared on the long street of the ancient town.
Zhao Ming stopped in front of a hotel called "Town Hotel" on the side of the street, because the light box of this store was still lit at the moment, and if such a store stayed for one night, it should be quite economical, so Zhao Ming planned to go to such a small shop for a night.
In the depths of Zhao Ming's heart, there is always an indescribable stubbornness, for Zhao Ming, when you go out, you can save it, because you never know what will happen next, you have enough money, and it will come in handy at critical moments.
After all, in today's society, although money is not omnipotent, but many times, no money is absolutely impossible, because most people serve you, in the final analysis, because of the relationship of interests, of course, very familiar, know-it-all, except for family relations and friend relationships.
Zhao Ming walked into the town hotel, through the glass door, Zhao Ming saw that a slightly chubby middle-aged woman was sleeping on the couch near the front desk, the lights inside were very bright, and the glass door was obviously locked from the inside.
In this silent night, through the gap in the glass, Zhao Ming could clearly hear the heavy snoring of the middle-aged woman lying on the sofa.
For a moment, Zhao Ming wanted to leave, and then go to another hotel to stay, maybe staying in the car for a long time, at this time Zhao Ming felt uncomfortable, at this moment he just wanted to find the nearest hotel, and then take a hot shower, and sleep well.
Obviously, at this time, not only the people in this hotel have already fallen asleep, it is very likely that the people in other hotels are also asleep, rather than looking for a while, it is better to forget about this one, thinking of this, Zhao Ming gently patted the glass door.
In such a quiet Mincheng town, Zhao Ming himself could clearly feel that the sound of him banging on the glass door sounded extremely harsh.
Fortunately, the woman at the front desk didn't sleep so deeply, and after a minute, she opened her eyes, glanced at the door, and then muttered something in her mouth, and then brushed her long hair behind her ears, and said with a confused face: "Stay in the hotel...... Wait, I'll open the door for you with the key......"
No matter what the chubby middle-aged woman who fell asleep on the sofa said, this is not so important to Zhao Ming at this moment, let alone her, even if it is Zhao Ming himself, this little sleep is fragrant, and he is woken up, I believe that the mood will not be much better, and it is already very good for people to do this.
Zhao Ming comforted himself in his heart while thinking, the middle-aged woman in the hotel took the key, opened the lock on the glass door, let Zhao Ming enter the hotel, and then locked the door again, and then walked to the computer at the front desk.
"Give me my ID. The middle-aged woman looked at Zhao Ming and said lightly, Zhao Ming began to look for it on his body. In the backpack, wallet, and pocket, I searched all over the place, but Zhao Ming still didn't find his ID card, and he suddenly became a little anxious.
"I'm sorry, I'll look for it again. Zhao Ming raised his head and explained to the slightly chubby middle-aged woman in front of him. The middle-aged woman glanced at Zhao Ming's face with an inquiring gaze.
"Did you bring it? or didn't you bring it? Wouldn't it be that when you came back from the last trip to Myanmar, you put your ID card in your passport and never took it out?" Zhao Ming thought as he continued to look for it.
"We need your ID card to verify and register your identity information, otherwise I really can't let you stay in the hotel, this is also responsible for you, but also for the other customers in the hotel, and I hope you can understand, young man!" said the chubby middle-aged woman with a helpless face.
Maybe in her opinion, Zhao Ming in front of her doesn't look like a bad guy at all, but there are also rules in this hotel, and every guest who stays must be registered through an ID card to ensure that every customer is a legal citizen.
Seeing the anxiety on Zhao Ming's face, the middle-aged woman smiled and said, "Don't be too anxious, don't look for it anymore." Hearing the middle-aged woman in front of him say this, Zhao Ming could only put his backpack in front of the marble counter at the front desk and carefully looked for it.
Zhao Ming slowly took out the clothes in the backpack, and then folded them neatly and put them in, still not found, and looked for it again in the wallet, but still not, when Zhao Ming was a little disappointed, his hand touched the mezzanine of the backpack, and then he took out the passport to go abroad, and Zhao Ming's ID card was indeed sandwiched in the passport.
Now that he finally found it, Zhao Ming couldn't help but take a deep breath and said with a smile: "I'm really sorry to trouble you for so long." "It's late, so that people can't rest, look at themselves looking for things here, to be honest, this makes Zhao Ming feel a little guilty.
"Young man, it's okay, just find it! Take the last long-distance bus to the ancient town at night, it is inevitable that you will be a little confused, just rest for the night! This is your room card and ID card, please put it away! Room 206 on the second floor. The chubby middle-aged woman took Zhao Ming's ID card to check in, and then handed the room card and ID card to Zhao Ming.
"Thank you......" Zhao Ming said with a smile, and then stepped on the stairs to the second floor, the lights upstairs are not very bright, but they exude a soft light, which makes people's eyes very comfortable.
The long hallway is lined with rooms on both sides, and it seems that the size of this inn is not small, and if every room is full, the income should be very good.
A standard room is 120 yuan, this hotel should have four floors, obviously not all of them can be filled, but like this kind of condition, in a place like Mincheng Ancient Town, it is already quite good.
There are many landscape paintings hanging on the walls of the walkway, some are bright, some are dark, it looks like some ancient buildings and unique natural scenery in the ancient town of Mincheng, but at this moment under the soft light, it gives people an indescribable feeling, a little desolate, and a little weird.
Zhao Ming guessed that the owner of this shop, there must be a person in the family who can sketch and paint, otherwise it would be impossible to paint the unique natural scenery of these ancient buildings in Mincheng Ancient Town so vividly and vividly.
Zhao Ming searched for a few minutes, and finally found room 206 near the corridor window in front, which made Zhao Ming sigh, the hotel in this ancient town is also peculiar, the room number is not according to the rules, if there are some room numbers starting with three on the second floor, it will be difficult for people who come to stay in the hotel for the first time to find their room number.
Insert the room card into the room, and soon the door opened, and then Zhao Ming quickly inserted the room card, and the room was bright in an instant, unlike just now in the corridor, the lights in this room are all on, and customers should adjust the brightness of the lights in the room according to their own needs.
Suddenly so bright, this made Zhao Ming feel that his eyes seemed to be a little unbearable, and after trying to turn off a few lights, the lights in the room instantly softened.
"It's more comfortable like this. Zhao Ming said to himself, and then, Zhao Ming began to undress, he took off his clothes and threw them on the bed, and then walked towards the bathroom.
The water in the bathroom was left for a long time, and it was only slightly hot water, which made Zhao Ming particularly speechless, and after taking a bath in a hurry, Zhao Ming picked up the bath towel in the bathroom and wiped his body, and then went directly to bed to rest.
The sheets and quilts in this room gave people a feeling of being a little damp, which made Zhao Ming even more speechless, and when he got up to close the window, Zhao Ming found that the night in this town was a little foggy, obviously fifty or sixty kilometers away from Dongcheng, and the climate was so different.
Just as Zhao Ming was about to cover the quilt and was about to go to bed, the phone in the room suddenly rang, in the middle of the night, not to mention a timid girl, even Zhao Ming himself was taken aback.
I just checked into room 206 of the town hotel at 11 o'clock tonight, and I am not familiar with the environment in the hotel.
The phone continued to ring, Zhao Ming patiently got up from the bed, and then answered the phone, and it was a woman's voice on the phone: "Young man, I'm really sorry, I opened the room of 206 a few days ago for ventilation, and I forgot to turn it off when it rained yesterday, and I will give you a quilt and sheets in a while." ”
"No need...... Zhao Ming's words were not finished, the line on the other end of the phone had already been closed, and in desperation, Zhao Ming got up again, hurried the clothes on his body, and sat there waiting.
About five or six minutes later, there was a knock on the door, and a chubby middle-aged woman at the front desk downstairs held a quilt and sheets in her arms and stood outside the door of the room with the 20th door.
Zhao Ming hurriedly turned on the lights in the room to the brightest brightness, and the middle-aged woman put the original sheets and quilt on the table in the room, and then rearranged the bed and put the quilt away, and then said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry to disturb your rest, it's not early, hurry up and go to sleep." ”
Lying on the soft and dry sheets, covered with a soft and comfortable quilt, Zhao Ming suddenly lost his sleepiness, he was about to fall asleep before the phone rang just now, and now he has changed the sheets and quilts again, after such a toss, he didn't feel sleepy at all.
