Chapter 25: The Hotel
The problem of being hungry is easy to solve, but where to live next is the problem.
Although Yu Xing and Risse have identity IDs, Xuefeng doesn't have them, I don't know if I can find a hotel, and I use the terminal to check the small hotels around, preferably the kind run by individuals.
Fortunately, as a tourist city, in addition to large hotels, there are also many private hotels, following the navigation of the terminal, Yu Xing and others came to a three-story house.
Looking at the picture, it seems that this is it.
"Hello, I'm Yu Xing, who made a reservation for a room online" Yu Xing pressed the doorbell and waited for a response.
"Ahh Hello, this is opening the door for you, wow! "There was the sound of a woman answering from inside the room, followed by the sound of a pile of debris falling to the ground.
Forehead... Should I consider changing to a hotel?
The door soon opened, and a girl with glasses who looked to be about twenty years old appeared in front of Yu Xing, looking a little confused.
"Hello, I'm Julianne, the owner of the house, I remember you meant there were three of them, right?" The girl's voice was soft, giving the impression that she wanted to bully her.
"Well, it's me, my name is Yu Xing, she's Lola, this is..."Yu Xing looked at Xue Feng, thinking of the name quickly in his mind, "Amil"
"Ameel? What a cute name, and the people are so cute~ Come, give you a candy" Julian took out a lollipop from her body and handed it to Xue Feng, Xue Feng took the candy and tore open the package and licked it happily, it seemed that Xue Feng had let go of his vigilance around him.
"A few people, please come in, the rooms on the second and third floors are empty, you can move in at any time, if you need anything, please feel free to bring it up, I will try my best to meet it" Julian beckoned Yu Xing and the others into the house.
The small first-floor living room was filled with all kinds of dolls and crafts, and there was a pile of wooden toy soldiers lying on the ground in a mess, "What are these?" ”
"Ah, these are my collections, are you interested too?" Julianne introduced the things in the living room to Yu Xing with a little pride, "This is a tribal totem doll from Gambia, Africa, this is a carved wooden statue from the Solomon Islands, this is..."
When introducing the thirteenth artifact, a very hideous-looking mask, Julianne seemed to finally realize that she had forgotten something, "I'm really sorry, I forgot to take you to a room when I talk about this," Julianne apologized a little panicked.
"It's okay, it's interesting, we like to listen to it, and it's still early, why don't we do it and chat" Yu Xing proposed when he saw Richelieu and Xue Feng looking very interested.
"You're interested? Great, please take a seat, ah, I'll clean up" There was a fabric sofa in the living room in addition to a chair, but the sofa was full of Julianne's collection at this time, and there was no place to sit at all.
Julian moved the things on the sofa aside and beckoned Yu Xing and the three to sit down, "What do you want to drink?" Is it coffee or hot cocoa? Or chilled lemon juice? ”
"Lemon juice, thank you"
Julian went to the kitchen and came back soon, the four of them each held a glass of lemon juice and sat on the sofa, Yu Xing asked curiously, "Miss Julianne..."
"Julianne, how many years have you spent collecting these things, you look so young"
"Most of these things were collected by my grandfather, and I inherited them after he died."
"I'm sorry to mention this" Yu Xing was a little embarrassed, why did he ask this.
"It's okay, he must be happy in heaven, and he left peacefully, although I'll be a little lonely when I can't see him" Julianne didn't seem to care.
Xue Feng curiously picked up a mask, "Brother, look~"
Xue Feng is holding a mask with a fox face in his hand, and the exquisite lacquering technique makes the mask look very beautiful, "Snow... Cough... Amil, don't break my sister's things."
"This is a Japanese fox mask, it's okay, it's not so easy to break~" Julian generously let Xue Feng continue to hold the mask, "Julian, who is the one behind you?" Yu Xing noticed a stone carving on the cabinet behind Julian, the stone carving looked a little rough, and it seemed to be a very old thing.
"Huh? Do you say this? This is one of the oldest collections my grandfather left behind," Julianne took the stone carving from the cabinet, "Although I have read all the notes left by my grandfather, I have not found any record of where this stone sculpture came from"
The black stone sculpture is about fifteen centimeters long, and the whole body is pitch black, and when Yu Xing holds it in his hand, he feels a cool feeling from the bottom of his heart, "Does it feel very cool when you touch it?" Seeing Yu Xing's reaction, Julian said with a smile, "I also liked this stone sculpture the most when I was a child, because as long as I touch it in summer, it will feel very cool."
"Well, indeed, what kind of stone is this carved out of?" Yu Xing also agreed with Julianne's statement, she still felt a little hot just now, but now she has the feeling of staying in an air-conditioned room at 16 degrees.
"I asked my friend who studied geology, but he didn't recognize him, he said he wanted to get some back for testing, but I was reluctant to destroy the stone carvings, so I refused."
Yu Xing looked at the stone carving in his hand, the stone carving seemed to be the appearance of a tribal warrior, and the spear in his hand was aimed at the front to make a throwing shape.
For some reason, Yu Xing felt that there was something in this stone sculpture that attracted him, "Do you seem to like this stone sculpture very much" Julianne's voice made Yu Xing come back to his senses, "Well, I don't know why, I always feel that there is something in this stone sculpture that is attracting me"
Yu Xing handed the stone sculpture back to Julianne, "My grandfather told me before that every item in this world has its own owner" Julianne put the stone sculpture on the table, "Perhaps, this stone sculpture has finally found its owner?" Julianne looked at Yu Xing with a smile.
"What do you mean? Give it to me? Yu Xing was a little surprised.
"Well, if grandfather is still here, he will be very happy to give it to you, and so will I~" Julianne looked very happy, as if she was glad that the stone carving had found its owner.
"Is this really good? Isn't this stone carving your favorite when you were a kid? ”
"Of course there are conditions~" Julian smiled mysteriously, "Of course, this condition is very simple, that is, you need to exchange one thing on your body, anything"
"Anything?" Yu Xing touched the pocket on his body, and finally only took out a mint candy from his trouser pocket, which was the candy he bought at the convenience store at the train station and ate the leftovers.
"That's it~" Julian took it very simply, tore open the candy package and threw the candy into her mouth, "Well~ It's delicious~ This stone sculpture is yours now"
"Sister Julianne, I want this!" Yukikaze seemed to like Julianne's fox mask very much, and seemed to hesitate for a long time, but finally mustered up the courage to talk to Julianne.
"Oh? Does Emile like this mask? No problem, what did Emile exchange for her sister? ”
"Hmm..."Xue Feng put down his mask and rummaged through the satchel he was carrying, Yu Xing was also curious about what Xue Feng could pull out.
"I only... This "Xue Feng finally took out a green plate, well, as expected, Xue Feng's satchel is full of quick repairs?
Julianne looked at the green plate in Xue Feng's hand with interest, "What is this?" ”
"This is a quick repair prop~ No matter how injured my sisters are, I can heal them immediately~" There was a little pride in Yukikaze's voice.
"Oh? It looks like a very powerful thing, my sister accepted it~" Julianne happily accepted this statement.
Feed! Anyway, complain!
"Well, now this mask is Ameel's~"
"Yay~" Yukifeng was bouncing in place with a mask.
"Emile is so cute, I really want to have a sister like this" Julianne cupped her cheeks and looked at Xue Feng.
"Ah, look at me, I've lost track of time," the big bell in the living room made a bell-bell, reminding everyone that it was ten o'clock in the evening.
"I'll take you to your room, how many floors do you want to live on?" Julian took Yu Xing and the three upstairs, "Let's go on the second floor"
"You can live in the room as you like, I'll go and prepare toiletries for you" Julian took Yu Xing and the others to the second floor, and ran back to the first floor.
Pushing open the door, the room was very simple, but it looked very clean, Julianne probably cleaned the room every day, "Richelieu, you and Xuefeng live in one room, and I live alone, how about it?" ”
Xue Feng was playing with the mask on the side, and when he heard this, he immediately ran over and grabbed Yu Xing's clothes, "I want to live with my brother"
"Uh..."It seems that Yukikaze still seems to be a little scared of Richelieu.
"Admiral, you live with Xuefeng, I live next door" Richelieu reached out and touched Xuefeng's little head and went to the next room.
"Okay, Yukikaze-chan, let's sleep with my brother tonight"
"Admiral, don't do strange things."
Richelieu stuck a head out of the doorway, and with that, he vanished.
Yu Xing: ......
