On this day, Santuchuan Inn welcomed several special guests.

At that time, Tsing Yi and Xiuxiu were about to go out, and just raised their hands, the felt curtain hanging on the door had been slowly lifted by a crumpled hand.

The hand was covered with brown spots, like weather-beaten paper, mottled and old.

Tsing Yi, who was about to open the curtain, quickly retracted his hand and took a step back, and even the absent-minded Xiuxiu made way for the guests who were about to enter the door.

The curtain was raised, and an old couple over half a hundred years old appeared at the door. They wore dark dark blue clothes of the same suit, and a bat-patterned headscarf was wrapped around their heads, which made it difficult for people to wonder if they had a relationship.

It was an old man who stretched out his hand to open the curtain, and he carefully raised the curtain high, and then bowed his head to the old woman beside him and said, "You watch your step." ”

The slightly hunched old woman looked very healthy, she was carrying a big bag in one hand, and the other hand was behind her, after hearing the old man's reminder, she raised her head and grinned at the old man, nodded while raising her feet into the inn.

She walked very slowly, stepping on small broken steps step by step, as if she would fall down if she walked fast, very cautious.

Tsing Yi looked at her walking very strangely, so he couldn't help but glance twice. When she entered the door, Tsing Yi, who was standing on the side, saw her hand behind her back, holding a small hand wrapped in bandages.

The owner of that hand was a delicate-looking little girl, who looked about six or seven years old. I don't know if she is sick or simply willful, when she enters the door, she always stubbornly slaps on the old woman's back, even if this posture makes the old woman unable to move, she never moves.

Xiuxiu glanced at the female doll curiously, and when the female doll seemed to be aware of it, she showed a big smile at the female doll.

In response, the female doll just blinked, and then turned her head back expressionlessly.

Xiuxiu pouted depressedly, then tugged at Tsing Yi's sleeve, pointed to a rope in the old man's hand and whispered: "Sister Tsing Yi, are they monkey showers?" You see he's holding a lot of monkeys! ”

Tsing Yi patted Xiuxiu's back noncommittally, but did not answer.

Through the open curtain, Tsing Yi had already seen the group of extremely tame monkeys squatting behind the old man, and the big carriage parked in front of the door. From time to time, there was a sound of small crates bumping into cages in the wide carriage. I think they must have one or two servants serving around them, and the sound of those bumps must be the sound of those servants carrying their luggage.

Tsing Yi glanced at it and then withdrew her gaze, and when the old woman entered the door with the female doll half-led and half-backed, she asked with a cold expression: "I don't know if the guest wants to be sharpened or stay in the hotel?" ”

After the old woman raised her head and looked at Tsing Yi carefully, she grinned again, and her smile revealed her black, yellow, black and yellow teeth, and the heart of Tsing Yi was hairy.

"Of course, it's a hotel." The old woman turned her head and smiled at the female doll attached to her, and said softly, "After driving for so long, the doll must be tired, right?" ”

The female doll blinked expressionlessly, and did not answer the old woman's words, but just stared at a pair of big black and white eyes, which were motionless on her back.

"Doll, mother-in-law is asking you." Seeing this, the old man who followed them in said loudly, "Why didn't you agree?" ”

The doll slowly turned her head to look at the old man, and finally looked back at the old woman's expectant eyes and slowly opened her mouth.

"Not tired." The doll is as thin as a mosquito in response.

To Tsing Yi's ears, the female doll's voice was hollow like a puppet that had taken out her soul, and there was no trace of popularity, but in the ears of the old couple, it was like a heavenly sound that made them excited.

"It's good if you're not tired, it's good if you're not tired." The old woman happily led the doll upstairs, and the doll was dead behind her, almost following her step by step.

"Don't be afraid, as long as you stay here for a few days, you'll be fine." The old woman comforted the doll on the one hand, and comforted the old man on the other hand, "Don't worry, you are in charge, this time it will definitely be done!" ”

The old man hung a face and nodded silently.

The carriage at the door shook slightly, and then two diminutive servants stiffened out of the carriage. They wore identical grey-black robes, their stiff hair hanging down their faces like a mess of twine, and as they leaned over to lift a large cage, the tangled hair fell down in unison, revealing the shiny back of their heads.

"Huh, bald!" As soon as Xiuxiu looked in, she saw the two shiny back heads, and immediately exclaimed, "The bald head is brighter than the table!" ”

Tsing Yi patted Xiuxiu's shoulder helplessly, and said with a straight face: "What are you talking about, go and call the nerd to come out and lead the horse, I don't need your help outside." ”

Xiuxiu was afraid of Tsing Yi recently because she had done something wrong, so she was very nervous when she saw Tsing Yi pull down her face. At this time, she saw that Tsing Yi had no smile, and she was so panicked that she didn't know anything, and before Tsing Yi finished speaking, she hurriedly ran upstairs.

The old woman walked up the stairs with the surprisingly awkward female doll almost step by step, and when Xiuxiu ran past them, they shook on the stairs as if they had encountered a hurricane.

Xiuxiu rushed upstairs without knowing anything, she ran so anxiously that she didn't even notice that she had touched someone else.

The old man standing at the door never looked away, and his face turned white with fright when he saw this, and he took a step forward and dragged a group of monkeys, who were also like puppets, into the inn.

The monkeys who had been strangled by their necks suddenly came to life, and they screamed twice, and subconsciously fell to the ground, and pressed the ground with their sharp nails.

Tsing Yi, who hadn't paid attention to the stairs, was stunned for a moment, and saw that the old man was about to rush over to save people dragging the group of monkeys, so she came back to her senses and hurriedly turned her head to look at the stairs.

The old woman threw away the burden in her hand, waved it in the air with one hand, and pressed the female doll behind her back with the other hand, and when the old man rushed to the bottom of the stairs with an agile speed that did not match his age, the old woman who had been struggling for a long time finally stood firmly.

The burden that had been dropped rolled down the bumpy steps until it reached the old man's feet. The frightened old man shouted, "Mother-in-law, are you okay?" ”

"It's okay, it's okay, the doll and I are standing firm." After grabbing the female doll, the old woman squinted at the corner of the corridor for a few moments, and then turned her head to look at the female doll behind her.

The female doll was always expressionless and clinging to her back, without a trace of fear, as if she hadn't just followed her and almost fell down the stairs.

"We're daring." The old woman smiled and praised.

The old man was greatly relieved to see that the old woman and the female doll were fine, and he shook the rope in his hand, causing the group of monkeys to skillfully turn over and fight. When a heel fight was over, the panicked monkeys immediately settled down, and followed the old man upstairs very tamely.

Tsing Yi, who was standing in place, also breathed a sigh of relief. Then she stared down at the thin scratch on the ground, and couldn't help frowning. In any case, the old couple is eccentric and weird, and they don't know what will happen to them, which makes people only uneasy.

The old man picked up the burden and held it in his hand, and then escorted the old woman and the girl doll upstairs, and when they walked to the corner of the corridor, they happened to face Fei Shusheng, who was pulled out by Xiuxiu.

Fei Shusheng, who was pulled out halfway through the grooming, was still holding one of his shoes in his hand, and while straightening the scarf on his head, he panted and said to Xiuxiu, who was pulling him away: "Xiuxiu, slow down - Xiaosheng hasn't put on his shoes yet-hey, be careful of someone!" ”

Leng Buding saw two old men coming from the corner, Fei Shusheng hurriedly stopped, and dragged Xiuxiu, who was blindly immersed in his head, back, so that he didn't hit them.

"It's dangerous, it's dangerous." Fei Shusheng, who had a false alarm, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with the upper of his shoe with a frightened face, and then said to the old couple apologetically, "It's all ours, it's almost frightening the old man." ”

"Die young, let you die, don't blame yourself for your life when you look back."

"Huh?" Fei Shusheng, who was apologizing, was stunned by the vicious words coming from nowhere, and hurriedly looked up.

Apart from the old couple, there was no one else around.

The wrinkled old woman shrank her face, and after a brief moment of fright, the wrinkles on her face slowly unfolded into a tolerant smile. She nodded slightly, bowed to Scholar Fei and Xiuxiu, and then pointed behind them and smiled, "It's okay, it's okay, but can you let us go first?" ”

Fei Shusheng was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses, and hurriedly pulled the ignorant Xiuxiu to the side, and said ashamedly: "It's really rude, please ask the old man to go first." ”

The old woman took small steps and walked over from Fei Shusheng with the female doll. The old man led the group of monkeys to follow closely.

Xiuxiu looked at the group of monkeys behind the old man with a surprised expression, while Fei Shusheng looked at the female doll holding the old woman in horror.

The female doll never moved, she lay on the old woman's back, her feet moved awkwardly, and when the old woman walked into the door with her, she suddenly turned her head and turned her face as stiff as a doll at Fei Shusheng.

Fei Shusheng's eyes widened suddenly.

She winked at herself!
