Seeing that everyone was gone, together with Wen Jingyi, we decided to return to Huangbaiyuan the next day. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

There is still a distance from Hanzhong to Huangbaiyuan, and we set off late, and when we arrived at Huangbaiyuan the next day, it was already more than three o'clock in the afternoon.

The car stopped in front of the hotel where we had stayed before.

After getting out of the car, Wen Jing looked around, then frowned and said to me, "Strange, why is this town so deserted today?"

I didn't care, so I smiled and said, "The sun is so hot, who would wander around without it." ”

"I didn't mean that, look at it, many shops are not open!" Wen Jing's brows furrowed even tighter.

Hearing this, I also looked around, and sure enough, except for two convenience stores and two restaurants, the rest of the shops were closed, even the door of the hotel we were going to was closed, and there was no one to be seen on the street.

Strange, although it is the off-season for tourism, it is understandable that there are few tourists, but it is not the current situation?

After thinking about it, I walked towards the hotel and knocked on the door for a long time, but no one answered.

What does this mean? This hotel is closed?

Seeing this, I had no choice but to smile bitterly at Wen Jing, and the two turned around and began to walk back.

Who knows, before he walked a few steps, there was a sound of the door opening behind him, and then he heard someone say: "Are you two going to stay in a hotel?"

Looking back, a middle-aged woman in her forties was standing in the doorway smiling at us.

I laughed, "Of course!"

Hearing this, the woman hurriedly came over and enthusiastically let the two of us into the hotel.

In the hostel, everything was the same as we had been before, nothing special.

"A room, how many days do you plan to stay?" the woman hurriedly ran into the back of the desk.

"Oh, let's book a day first, and we'll see when the time comes. Wen Jing said with a smile.

While the woman was registering us, I asked her, "Boss, why don't you ask for a helper?"

"My niece used to help me take care of it, no, tomorrow is the Midyear Festival, she went home. The woman continued to write, and replied casually.

"Zhongyuan Festival?" Wen Jing turned her head to look at me a little blankly, "What kind of festival is this?"

"It's commonly known as Halloween!" For Wen Jing, who grew up in the city, it makes sense that she doesn't know.

"Yes, you didn't see that most of the shops are not open today!" Hearing this, the woman raised her head and said with a smile: "You people in the city don't know much about this festival. Today is July 14, the day when the ghost door is wide open. ”

"According to our custom, we won't be open today or tomorrow, so I don't plan to open my doors today. The woman continued to smile. "But I think you two may encounter the same situation in other houses, and then there will be no place to rest!"

"Eldest sister, you are so nice!" Wen Jing immediately thanked her.

"Yo, little girl, your mouth is so sweet, I'm so old, and I'm still the same as the eldest sister, and the eldest aunt is still about the same!" the woman laughed heartily.

"You don't look old at all!" Wen Jing smiled. "Besides, we know your niece. ”

The woman was handing over her ID card to me, and she was stunned for a moment, and then she was overjoyed: "It turns out that you are still old customers, thank you so much!"

"When did you meet her?"

"More than twenty days ago. Wen Jing smiled.

When she heard this, the woman said 'oh' and bowed her head.

But the moment she looked down, I noticed a hint of suspicion on her face, and I immediately became suspicious.

Then, she began to look for the room card for us, but she seemed to be a little absent-minded, and after looking for it a few times, it was not right, and even her hands were a little shaky.

What is this? I wondered even more.

"Eldest sister, is there something wrong?" Wen Jing also noticed that her expression was a little strange.

"No... Nothing!" the woman's expression became even more flustered.

I watched it for a long time, and suddenly said, "Sister, do you think we are not human?"

As soon as these words came out, Wen Jing and the woman were startled.

"But don't be afraid, we are really human beings, and although it is the fourteenth day of July today, there will be no such thing as seeing a ghost in broad daylight!" I tried to relax my words and continued, "It's a coincidence that we're here today!"

The woman's face changed at first, she looked behind us, thought for a while, and then said with some cringe: "I paid attention when you came, you have a shadow! That's why I'll open the door for you!"

As soon as I heard this, I already understood in my heart that this woman looked like a simple person, and she had a good heart, and if it weren't for the chance of time, she wouldn't have this kind of mentality.

Thinking about the conversation just now, she must have heard Wen Jing mention that we met her niece before her mood changed.

In order to avoid causing her another fright, he smiled and said, "I'm sorry, we remembered wrong, it wasn't you last time we came." He scratched his scalp in embarrassment.

Wen Jing didn't know why, she looked at me with a confused expression, but she didn't ask, and finally echoed: "Oh, I've been confused by the sun these days, Zhang Guan Li Dai!" and smiled at the woman.

At this time, I heard that the woman breathed a sigh of relief, and her expression quickly returned to normal, and then she smiled and said: "Look at you two, I was shocked just now, although I have lived for dozens of years, I have not encountered anything that the gods are talking about, and it is a coincidence in the past few days, so I was startled!"

"Haven't you seen it, we have a shadow!" I laughed.

"I was frightened by this little girl's words. The woman showed a sincere smile, and said a little embarrassedly: "I haven't left here in the past few months, and my memory is not bad, more than 20 days ago, I didn't go out, even if it was handled by Xiaofeng, I still have some impressions." ”

"But it's the first time I've seen you! ”

When I heard her say that she hadn't left the hotel in months, my heart jumped: it seems that there is really something wrong with this place!

When I looked back at Wen Jing, I found that she was already stunned, and I was afraid that she would leak her mouth, so I quickly patted her gently on the shoulder, and then took the room card from the woman's hand.

"It's too hot, so let's go up and take a shower first. With that, I pulled Wen Jing and smiled at the woman, and walked up the stairs.

"You'd better hurry up, you two won't be able to find a place to eat later, everyone will close early today!" the woman was indeed very enthusiastic, and said a word behind her back.

"Okay, thank you!" I thanked again.

"You're welcome!" said the woman with a hearty smile again.
