Chapter 115: Strange Culture

Death is not terrible, what is terrible is when we stand at the door of death and poke our heads out to see the bottomless abyss.

Thick green smoke came out of the chimney, and those tiny smokes touched the thin drizzle, and gradually dissipated into the white sky.

Obviously it is a heavy makeup and light ink painting, the landscape crosses between the pavilions and pavilions, and there are a few pedestrians scattered, although it is a little desolate, but it does not make people feel a sense of sadness.

When I walked around the streets and alleys in the morning, I didn't feel that there was anything strange about this wonderful city, but once the suspicion arose, those exposed horses' feet had to make people look sideways!

Xu Liuli stood at the door of the hostel, looking at the city shrouded in smoke and rain, and the feeling of depression in her heart was even worse, not for the humanities, not for the scenery, but for the indescribable atmosphere.

"Girl, it's cold, drink a cup of tea to warm up. Xu Mei stood at the counter, packing up the belongings left by the guests, and out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of the little girl who lived in her own hostel, standing at the door of her own store, staring blankly at the thin rain and fog outside.

looked at the fresh and elegant cheongsam she was wearing, although the patterns outlined were beautiful, but in such a rainy weather, it would still be a little cool.

So I took a cup of hot tea and kindly sent it over.

"Thank you, boss, boss, can I ask you something?" Xu Liuli was thinking about this unusual atmosphere, and he didn't feel how cold his surroundings were, but when he heard the boss's concern, he suddenly felt that his exposed parts were a little cool, so he took the water cup unceremoniously.

took a sip, his stomach suddenly warmed, and he looked at the boss who was walking back, and asked with doubts in his heart.

"What's the matter, you say?" Xu Mei heard the little girl call out to herself, a pair of eyes full of aura stared at herself, thinking that she had nothing to do, so she moved two chairs from the side, one for each person, and then faced the outside of the store.

"Thank you, I just want to ask why my bed is oriented east-west, and my quilt and sheets are white?" took the chair from the boss's hand, and then turned his eyes around, staring at a bright flower in front of the store, and expressed his doubts.

Hearing this, the expression on Xu Mei's face stiffened slightly, her eyes also rolled in a trance, and the mental state of the whole person was also a little uneasy, and then, as if she remembered something, and then the whole person seemed to be poured a basin of cold water, and suddenly quieted down.

Xu Liuli waited silently for a while, and found that the boss did not speak, and looked back with some curiosity, but heard that the boss had a different tone from what he had just spoken, hoarse but like a sound mixed with metal.

"Only your room in the whole hostel is so decorated, and I don't know exactly why.

I took over this shop two years ago from the previous manager, and when he left, he just told me that the room you live in must be decorated like this, otherwise something bad will happen in the store.

Because the rooms in the store have always been dissatisfied, except yesterday there were only two vacant rooms, but the key to that vacant room could not be found, so you were placed in the current room. Xu Mei settled down and said to Xu Liuli in half-truths.

"Is there anything bad about it, can you tell me more about it?

And the key to the empty room, did you find it today?" Xu Liuli naturally missed the strange expression of the person next to him because he never looked back.

Just listening to the words of the store manager, an alarm bell suddenly sounded in his head, and he asked seriously.

"Bad things, I only remember once. When I first came to this restaurant, I was just a waiter, and I didn't have a place to stay at that time, so I stayed in a hostel.

One of the waiters also lives in the hotel, but we are not in a room, she is in the same room where you are staying at the time.

It rained and thundered that night, and we went upstairs to bed early when no one came to the hostel.

I was awakened by the thunder at night, and my consciousness returned for a while, and when I couldn't sleep in bed, I heard some broken noises next door, occasionally mixed with low crying.

Because she and her boyfriend didn't get along during that time, I just thought they had a fight, so I didn't take it to heart, after all, it was already late at night.

But the next day when I was chatting with her, I asked casually, but she said that there was no such thing, but a few days later, she suddenly became a little mentally abnormal, and one day a man in black clothes passed by in front of the door, and she watched them yell, and she fell into the river and drowned.

When you talk about the key, I'm also very strange, obviously it was still on the table before you came, but after you came, there was only the key in your room on the table, and even the spare key was gone, is it really strange?" Xu Mei heard Xu Liuli's question, and those dusty memories also came to her heart, but there were some things that were no longer necessary.

Xu Liuli listened to the boss narrate the story, and felt as if she had fallen into a trap, otherwise why did the key to the free room disappear mysteriously, but don't tell her, 'It ran away on its own long legs?'

"Okay, it's not too late, you can go inside! After all, there are many people in the store, so nothing strange will happen. The night here is still very cold, you can go back to the house and put on some clothes!" Xu Mei glanced at Xu Liuli in a trance, then got up from the chair uncomfortably and staggered into the house.

Xu Liuli sat on the chair and looked back at the boss's back, the corners of her mouth pulled down, a little unhappy, although she said so many words, but they were useless, she must have hidden a lot of things, because the words were full of loopholes.

That's it, what do you want to do so much, if some things are for yourself, then you can't hide from it, let's hurry to the next destination tomorrow, although the scenery here is beautiful, but there is no blessing to suffer!

Just when Xu Liuli stood up and was about to enter the house, he suddenly saw some people wearing white mourning clothes, and dozens of men carrying a coffin made of willow wood, and then passed in front of his eyes, his eyes couldn't help but widen.

"Girl, don't stand still, this kind of frustration only happens at night. Even if someone dies, they will be carried to the ground at night to be buried, but women and children are not allowed to participate in this kind of thing, so you better hurry back to the house!" Xu Mei was moving the stool, and she saw the little girl who was chatting with her just now looking at the funeral without blinking, and kindly pulled her sleeve and persuaded in a low voice.

The store manager's words made Xu Liuli's desire to join in the fun suddenly disappear, but the words that comforted him just now suddenly came to his mind, wanting to be indifferent, how could it be, just like those people who hide in the dark put things in front of you one by one, but you didn't move at all, isn't that a joke?

Suppressing the stunned expression just now, Xu Liuli thanked him in a low voice, and then walked to his room step by step.

The terrible sound of trumpets and wails reached people's ears neither high nor low, and the drizzle of smoke outside seemed to increase suddenly, and the mist thickened little by little......

What is the fascinating scenery and the hidden secrets?
