The little girl's hands were clenched tightly by me, and her face was flushed red, like a ripe red apple. I suddenly felt that something was wrong, that it was very inappropriate for me to act like this, and just as I let go of my hand and was about to say sorry to him, a lazy voice suddenly came from inside the room.

"Ruru, have you cleaned up, go grocery shopping, your second aunt's family is coming today." A confused cry that had just woken up came from the house, it was the little girl's aunt, the innkeeper.

"Alright, I'll go right away." The little girl answered the room, and then hurriedly pushed me up the stairs: "You go up quickly, my aunt thought you were inquiring about 404, and if she came out to see you, she would definitely scold me to death." Go up quickly, there is a tofu flower shop at the end of the street, and you will be waiting for me there at twelve o'clock at noon today! ”

"Okay, see you soon." I nodded, pulled my legs and ran up the stairs, and when I ran to the turn of the upper floor, the sound of the door opening suddenly came from downstairs, and I was so frightened that I slowed down and rushed up to the fourth floor.

When I ran up the stairwell on the fourth floor, I really went to it, and I felt like ......... when my liver was pounding.

Like what? Forget it, I shook my head, shook the mess behind me, and paced towards 404. After taking two steps, I ran to the bottom of the stairs and looked down, and saw that the owner of the hotel had not caught up, and the trace of uneasiness disappeared completely, and my heart was suddenly full.

Opening the door of 404's room, Ah Hu was answering the phone, frowning again and again, and making two "um" sounds from time to time, okay, okay, hurry up and continue to investigate.

Then he put down the phone, lit a cigarette, and said to me who walked in: "We will stop here for two days, and we will not go there in Fuzhou for the time being." ”

I was stunned and said, "Why? ”

"I'll tell you in two days!" Ah Hu replied to me lightly.

"It's okay, just wait here for two days, it just so happens that I have something to deal with too!" At this time, Ah Hu was surprised, and he asked me depressedly: "Oh, you have something to deal with, do you have acquaintances here?" ”

I smiled and said, "Don't ask, come, wipe your face, let's go outside and find something to eat." ”

Ah Hu didn't ask too much, and ran to the bathroom to wash. It's a pleasure to get along with such a person, there is no long-winded trouble, and you don't need to report anywhere, just say it. On the other hand, he won't explain too much to you, and he doesn't like others to interfere with him. In short, it is enough to use the words "respectful and guestful" to describe this kind of relationship.

After Ah Hu brushed his teeth and washed his face, we went downstairs and happened to meet the innkeeper who got up. She was stretching her waist as Ah Hu and I walked down the stairs.

The innkeeper's expression was suddenly stunned, his eyes widened, and he looked at Ah Hu like he had seen a ghost. She opened her mouth wide, her chest rose and fell violently, she looked at Ah Hu and said, "You...... You...... You? ”

You hit you several times in a row, but you never said what you wanted to say. Ru Ru was looking down at the textbook, pretending not to see it, and I looked at the strange expression of the innkeeper, and I was even more sure that there must be a ghost in it.

I didn't break it, but also pretended not to see it, Ah Hu threw a stack of money at the counter, didn't count, just said that he wanted to stay a few more days, and followed me to the street, leaving the stunned fat shopkeeper, whose mouth was so wide that he could stuff a durian.

After breakfast, I didn't go back with Ah Hu, but wandered around the street for a while, and then sat down at the tofu flower shop at the end of the street.

The tofu flower is very difficult to eat, it should be said, it is the taste is wrong, this tofu is superior, smooth but not greasy throat, very fragrant...... The overall taste is not great. The reason is that the tofu is added with fine sugar, and the southern tofu flower that I have always been accustomed to eating is poured after the sugar has been boiled and melted.

Approaching twelve o'clock, Ruru finally arrived.

Dressed in a goose yellow dress, with a small butterfly hairpin tied to her shoulder-length hair, although she is not tall, she is full of a small and cute youthful atmosphere. As soon as I walked to the front of the store, I attracted the attention of the customers around me.

Standing on tiptoe, Ruru's bright eyes looked up in the tofu shop, and when I beckoned, she couldn't help but be happy when she saw me, and walked towards me quickly.

When she sat down, I took the menu and asked, "Do you want to eat?" ”

She shook her head.

"That'...... Thirsty or not? I moved the glass of water on the table

Her face turned red instantly, and she twisted her body uneasily, even more cramped, and the reason for the crampedness came from the whispered guidance of the two guests next to her

"Today's young people are still reading books and fall in love, and it's really ...... for two people to drink a glass of water."

"Don't say it, these two are also quite compatible, but this young man has lost a little weight and lacks some meat."

………………

I was sweating profusely, and I almost wanted to stuff myself into the cracks of the wall, what had I done.

Moving away, I stared viciously at the mouthy two eight women with my eyes. The two troublemakers hurriedly lowered their heads and went to eat tofu flowers. I took another cigarette, put it on my nose and sniffed it, suppressed the irritability in my heart, and when I opened my eyes, I went straight to the point

"Okay, now please tell me what happened in room 404?"

Changing the subject is the best way to defuse the embarrassment, and the past of 404 is exactly what I can't wait to know.

Ru Ru straightened her body and said in a low voice: "Big brother, let me tell you what happened before, can you promise me not to tell others?" ”

"Well, I swear, what I heard today will never be told."

Ru Ru took a deep breath, and the next thing she talked about was the past of the hotel.

The history of the hostel dates back to the 70s and even the Anti-Japanese War. Ru Ru introduced that although the hotel is a postmodern building, it was a shooting range for devils a century ago, and countless civilians lost their lives here.

Later, the land was bought by a foreign overseas Chinese and a villa was built. The good times did not last long, and the villa encountered strange things again and again, and later the overseas Chinese family sold the land at a low price.

And the owner of the third-hand transfer is the grandfather of the current innkeeper.

"In the 80s, wasn't there a wave of entrepreneurship? Many merchants from the north came to the south to find tea and some southern fruits such as lychees, and sold them in the north. Therefore, the business of the hotel, since its opening, has been very good. It's just that strange things keep happening one after another. Ruru said.

Business at the inn was not all smooth sailing, and the first time it was built coincided with a good time, so there was a constant stream of merchants coming and going, but the tragic deaths of the hotel guests in succession made the owner of the hotel have to lower the price to attract customers.

Among these rumors, Ru Ru vaguely remembers two things, these two things have been passed down from generation to generation by the elders of the family, and every time they hear it, it will make people feel creepy.

The first was the tragic death of a female merchant.

In the mid-80s, a female merchant from the north who sold fruit moved into the hotel. Accompanying the female merchant to the hotel was her sister.

That night, the two sisters came to the hotel, paid the rent, and stayed in the hotel. Ruru forgot, but it's definitely not 404.

On the first night of the sisters' stay in the hotel, they immediately encountered an unknown encounter, and the only survivor was the sister of the female merchant. After that night, the next morning, there was a heart-rending cry from the hotel.

The owner of the inn opened the door and saw that the female merchant had died tragically on the mattress, and scarlet blood stains had flowed from the white mattress to the ground, and some of the blood stains had solidified and turned black and red.

And the appearance of the female merchant is even more terrifying, lying naked on the mattress, covered with black and blue scratches, ** was cut off in half, her lower body was rotten like paste, blood flowed from the corners of her mouth, her eyes were wide open, and she died suddenly on the bed.

And the sister of the female merchant is almost all **. When the innkeeper pushed the room open and walked in, the merchant's sister was squatting on the floor at the head of the bed, her clothes were striped with cloth, her hair was messy, and her body was covered with dense wounds, hugging the dead body on the bed, crying heartbreakingly.

The owner of the inn immediately called the police, and a total of five people, including the sister of the female merchant and the owner, and the guests staying at the hotel, were taken away. At first, the merchant's sister was talking to herself stupidly, mentally insane, and her preface did not match the afterword.

When the police took him to the doctor, took a few days of tranquilizers, and did psychological counseling, his sister's spirit gradually returned to normal.

After confirming that there was no suspicion, the innkeeper immediately prepared fruit on the first day after coming out, and went to visit the merchant's sister who was hospitalized. The owner of the first inn happened to be there on the day the police took the note, and the transcript gives a brief account of what happened that night.
