Chapter 60: The Telephone and the Little Sister
Pulling back the curtain of the door, Wu Yu walked in along the corridor, the interior of the hostel did not look magnificent, but it was clean and tidy, at least compared to those black hostels that were plastered with the phone number of the young lady. To his surprise, unlike most hotels, the setting was obviously much more casual and artistic, and he had seen a hotel with two rows of bookshelves in the lobby for the first time.
In contrast, a slightly shabby and narrow front desk sits a young woman with short ear-length hair, leaning on a chair with a book in her hand, wearing a yellowish lamp, flipping through it.
"Stay?...... Huh, are you alone?"
Hearing the sound of the bell hanging on the door curtain, Li Yunzhu raised his head and saw the boy who was looking at the hall of the hostel not far from the door and frowned slightly. It seems that she is obviously still a student child, alone, and she didn't see any luggage, and she just started school, and according to her experience, nine times out of ten she was a little ghost who ran out of awkward trouble with her family.
"Hmm...... I didn't find accommodation when I came to Star City for the weekend, and the hotels along the way were too expensive, so ......"
After looking around and not finding the room price sign, Wu Yu asked while handing out his ID card.
——Is the little ghost who ran away from home in the mountain town——
Li Yunzhu pinned the book in his hand to the bookmark, closed it unhurriedly and gently put it aside, glanced at the ID card on the table, and stroked his right forehead thoughtfully. Judging from the young man's talking and clothing, his family background should be good, but he is so embarrassed, most of them have run away.
- But it's so far away, you can't just drive people out-
"You are also bold to sneak out so far. It's not the peak tourist season anyway, and there are quite a few empty rooms left. However......" looked at the young man in front of him who was listening attentively with the shyness of poverty in his eyes, Li Yunzhu paused in his words, and a smile rose at the corner of his mouth.
"If you call the adults in your family, you can make an exception and only charge you ten yuan for water and groceries. You know, the Internet café next door is 20 yuan for a night, not to mention that thirst or something will cost extra money, but at 8 o'clock in the morning, you will drive people away on time. ”
"This ......"
With a sniffle, Wu Yu unconsciously looked in the direction of the Internet café on the right, it was a row of bookshelves that looked like they were a few years old under the light yellow lamp beads, and he could vaguely smell the reassuring scent of books escaping after the pages had been turned for a long time.
The hunger in his belly was stimulated even more violently by the smell of books.
"Can you not call......
Wu Yu hesitantly took out his mobile phone, looked weakly at the woman who stood up in front of him, her aura became inexplicably strong, and tried to struggle for the end.
"Of course not. Oh, I'll help you find the room card."
Raising her eyebrows, Li Yunzhu shook her head happily and firmly, and at the same time raised the door card that she had taken out with her left hand, and then happily watched the inner struggle of the lost boy in front of her directed by her.
Sighing helplessly, Wu Yu broke the jar and dialed the phone in front of Li Yunzhu.
"I'm living in a hostel in Star City now, don't worry, old man. ”
"......" After a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, an angry middle-aged man's low roar suddenly erupted.
"Boy, do you dare to take the initiative to call?"
Frowning, Wu Yu, who was still hungry, showed an impatient look, looked at the evil taste big sister in front of her, and held the earpiece a little away from her ear.
He took a deep breath and yelled back at the microphone.
"What is the roar, who is afraid of whom is louder than the voice. I was afraid that I would make you angry, so I didn't fight. Don't worry, take a break first, I'll take the initiative to come back to see you tomorrow. ”
The person on the other end of the phone responded in a tone of anger that almost squeezed out between his teeth: "Hehe, okay, I'll wait for you to come back!"
Without waiting for the other party to finish speaking, Wu Yu quickly hung up the phone, spread his hands angrily and said.
"I knew I would get into an argument after a few words on the phone. Well, the phone called, and talking counts. ”
After that, Wu Yu took advantage of Li Yunzhu's sudden transformation from an extremely quiet conversation to an explosive loud quarrel in a daze, and reached out to take the door card she pinched in her fingers.
"Okay, okay, it's strange that you don't talk like this. Hurry up and get me upstairs, I still have to read. ”
Li Yunzhu, who felt that the door card in his hand was taken away and came back to his senses, did not intend to regret it, but the interest in becoming a confidant big sister that had just risen in his heart quickly retreated. Rubbing her forehead, she waved her hand with a little disgust, it is better to leave this kind of problem child to his parents to discipline.
………………
In some years, the wooden staircase occasionally creaks when stepped on, and the wireless coverage sign on the wall looks a little strange. Pushing open the door, this is a quadruple room with two chapters of high and low beds, but as the young lady sitting at the front desk downstairs said, it is the off-season, and there are no other temporary roommates.
After finding an outlet and connecting to the wireless charger, Wu Yu threw himself on the bed closest to the socket, and couldn't wait to open the novel website and start eating.
It is true that there are a vast number of novels on the Internet, but the books that can give Wu Yu the literal energy to survive are all the ones that require him to read deeply and fall into the world of books and leave footprints.
Therefore, there are not too many options in front of him, and there are only three copies of "Let Go of That Witch", "Abnormal Creature Observations", and "Literary Era", as for "Forty Thousand Years of Xiuzhen", because I haven't been able to see the update, it is naturally not in today's menu, and there are ......
"Hiss......"
Wu Yu frowned, always feeling as if he had forgotten a book, and his scalp felt a dull pain.
He patted his cheek to concentrate his attention, and naturally enveloped the phone with black flames, closing his eyes to meditate on the traces of the world of words hidden in his own body.
When I "opened" my eyes again, I was already floating in the void, and in front of me was a curtain of golden particles from the updated chapters of the three books.
With happiness and gratitude, he read the updates of the three books in turn, feeling the warm current of the words to soothe his hunger little by little, Wu Yu thoughtfully looked at the holes left by the words of the three light curtains after they were eaten up.
"The abnormal world has not been summoned by the goddess, so don't take the initiative to die yet. The witch has been cutting her perspective for the past few days, and after she went in, she continued to eat salted dried fish and feed the cats. As for the literary era......"
Wu Yu pondered for a while, recalling the message he had just seen the author after today's update - the story is nearing the end, and there are probably one or two chapters to end.
"The opportunity to enter the world of words in the past few days, I have chosen "Literary Times", at least for the first world to end, say goodbye. ”
Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated, followed the bond in the book, and fell into it.
