Chapter 181: Trapped in the Hotel
Unexpectedly, this snow was four days at once, and the road to the town was blocked, and there was no way to pass at all, and Ye Zi had to stay in the motel, and he couldn't go.
Also trapped were Dill, a truck driver who delivered food to the town, Carter, who came home to visit his father, and the boss and clerk, a total of five people, and a few people who had nothing to do every night to gamble.
Ye Zifei played once, and found that the truck driver Dill was like a bull in heat, staring at him all the time, and he was bored, so he never went again, and originally planned to tell everyone that Carter was playing cards when he was playing cards, and now they deserve to be unlucky.
The boss has lost cards these days, and the food he makes is getting worse and worse.
That Carter is not a good bird, he has won for a few days in a row and doesn't know how to stop, and he is really not afraid that others will not know, well, she admits that his methods are very sophisticated, and it is still possible to deceive these rural people.
There is basically no entertainment in this hotel, because of the wind and snow, even the phone signal can't go out, let alone surf the Internet, the damn generator in the store often fails, if you don't know a little mechanical knowledge, a few people can only learn the ancient people to burn the fireplace.
Because it was too boring, she borrowed paper and pen from her boss, and began to write songs after a long break, after this period of brewing and feeling, there were a lot of fragments in her mind, and now what she has to do is to connect these melodies and sentences to compose a complete song.
Unlike before, she used to only write songs in Chinese, but now she is trying to write English songs, her Chinese foundation is not as good as English, and sometimes she will change the lyrics to French and other languages, and she is proficient in more than one or two languages.
Some people do things to kill time, and time becomes less difficult, and sometimes they can't help but indulge in songs, and there is an urge to wait to publish them.
On this day, Ye Zifei finally couldn't stand the boss's cooking skills, and proposed to cook dinner by himself, and the innkeeper was happy to see someone taking the initiative to take the job, but he quickly said with a straight face: "I won't deduct the accommodation fee because of this." ”
"Of course!"
Ye Zifei has improved a lot in cooking after exercising at home a few months ago, and he has increased a lot in the handling and matching of food. Obviously much more skilled than the owner, several people in the store ate as if they had been hungry for a few days, and ate happily.
After the meal, the boss also opened a bottle of champagne and invited everyone to taste it together. A few rare sat together again and chatted.
Maybe it's because of the drinking, everyone let go a lot, chatting about some interesting topics, among the five people, only Ye Zifei is a woman, and her temperament and figure are very outstanding. So everyone focused on her and showed their charm as much as possible.
Even the bald boss began to be generous and opened another bottle of whiskey for everyone.
After Dill drank the wine, his nose became red, his eyes became more unscrupulous, he kept looking at Ye Zifei, stretched out his tongue and licked the beard on his face. It's disgusting.
Because of his perennial sports car, he has a very strong physique, like a polar bear, and his body is covered with thick hair, and several other people in the store are actually a little worried about him.
Ye Zifei saw that the time was almost up and was about to say goodbye and go back to the room to continue creating, but as soon as she stood up, Dill followed her and walked up to her and whispered, "Hey, baby." Want to be happy? ”
Ye Zifei rubbed his forehead, he didn't want to make trouble, but this was too annoying to him, and he didn't wait for her to make a move. The boss took out a long-barreled shotgun from the counter and yelled, "Don't harass my guests, or I'm welcome." ”
Dill was not afraid to laugh back, and said, "Pete, do you have bullets in your gun?" Every year I have to make deliveries to the town, and I know your habits too well. ”
The boss's face darkened, and he shouted, "No matter what, you can't be rude to my guests today." Otherwise, I would have called the police. ”
Dier's face was hideous, and he said fiercely: "Call the police!" When the police come, it's going to be spring, and when I see your corpse, be obedient to me! ”
Ye Zifei suddenly asked, "Do you have to wait until the beginning of spring to leave?" ”
Dill said angrily: "Hey, girl, this is not the time to care about this, I ......"
Ye Zifei's hand flashed with silver light, and a large piece of the beard on Diel's chin fell, and she was holding the knife in her hand, and she smiled unchanged: "When I speak, you shut up!" ”
Dill finally got honest, swallowed his saliva, looked at the scattered beard on his body, didn't dare to do it anymore, and muttered out of the restaurant.
The boss laughed and said, "Don't listen to him, it's already February, and the snow doesn't fall for too long at this time, and it will be able to pass in about two days." ”
Carter, who had been silent, suddenly asked, "Miss, are you also going to Austin Town?" ”
"Yes!"
The boss said, "Oh, that town, there aren't many people in that town anymore." ”
Carter sighed: "I remember when I was a child, our town was still very prosperous, but now the young people go to the big city to work, and there are only some old people left in the town." ”
"Not just in Austin, but everywhere else, no one wanted to do farm work, and a lot of places were deserted," the boss recalled. ”
Carter lowered his head and pondered, then turned his head and asked, "By the way, what are you doing in our town?" It doesn't look like a tourist. ”
Ye Zifei rubbed his middle knuckle lightly and said with a smile: "Find someone." ”
"Looking for someone? You may still recognize me, although I haven't been back for a long time, but I have a good relationship with the townspeople. ”
"Benita. Come to Mrs. Morton. ”
Carter and the boss looked at each other and said, "Madame? Is she married? ”
The boss affirmed, "No, no, I'm sure, but I heard something happened to her." ”
Carter looked up in surprise and asked, "What happened to her?" ”
The boss said: "I heard that she was kidnapped, but now the robbers have not called to ask for ransom, and there are many police officers who have gone to investigate the previous time, you must know that she is a city councilor." ”
Ye Zifei pretended to be indifferent, and said, "Did they investigate any results?" ”
"No, the kidnappers dispatched a helicopter, and it doesn't look like an ordinary robber."
Ye Zifei stared at Carter's face, just from hearing the news of the kidnapping, he became abnormal, the muscles of his whole body were contracted, his calves kept shaking, and his fingers were loose and tight, tight and loose, as if he had difficulty making a choice.
Ye Zifei suddenly asked, "Carter, do you have anything to tell us?" ”
Carter scolded: "She's a **!" Yes, she's the **! I already knew she was there today. ”
At this time, a gunshot suddenly rang out outside the door, and several people in the hall were stunned! (To be continued.) )
