Lao Lin sighed again and again when he saw it, "It seems that the furnishings in the room are all old antiques, and we should be careful when we use them later, maybe one of them will be scrapped directly by us if we are not careful, and whoever breaks it will pay for it when the time comes, I don't care." ”

When Forging Feng heard this, he pouted and said, "Then you can sleep on the floor tonight, so as not to break your cousin's antique bed sheets!" ”

This was originally a trivial matter, so none of the three of them took it to heart, but when they were having dinner at night, an unbelievable thing happened, which made Yuan Muye and the others realize that Xiaoxiao invited them to come over and it was not as simple as attending any opening ceremony......

In the evening, in order to welcome Lao Lin's cousin, Xiaoxiao specially used a very characteristic local cheese hot pot to entertain everyone, although the strange taste did not meet the taste of Yuan Muye and his party, but out of politeness, everyone also showed that they liked to eat...... Luckily, there was some ham and bread in the side dishes, otherwise the guys would have been grumbling with hunger before they went to bed.

Who knew that halfway through the meal, there was a sudden power outage in the hotel! Seeing this, Xiaoxiao hurriedly asked the staff to check if there was something wrong with the circuit? Because hotels like theirs built in the mountains are all self-generated, in the event of a power outage, not only will they lose their light, but they will even lose their warmth, which is why Xiaoxiao is so nervous.

But sometimes the more afraid of something, the more something, after the hotel staff checked, it turned out that the hotel's generator failed, and usually in this case there will be another backup generator to replace, but because of the hotel's tight funds, so the backup generator was broken last time and was never repaired......

As a result, everyone had to stay in the dark for one night, and wait until the next day, after dawn, to ask the maintenance personnel under the mountain to come up the mountain to carry out repairs. It's just that this night is not easy, because the temperature outside is now more than 20 degrees below zero, and if there is no heating in the room, people will have to freeze.

Fortunately, Xiaoxiao is a woman who is not in a panic, she first instructed the staff to quickly bring the candlestick, let the guests make do with the meal first, and then let them go to the basement to get some wood and deliver it to the door of each room separately, so that everyone can light the fireplace at night to keep warm......

Huo Ran breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, "I didn't expect the fireplaces in the room to be real, I thought they were all decorations?" ”

Xiao Xiao smiled after hearing this, "Of course it's true, those fireplaces are prepared for some emergencies, like this kind of mountain hotel, no one can say whether it will encounter a snowstorm for a few days and nights, and once the fuel of the generator runs out, we can't go down the mountain to replenish?" Then you can only use the most primitive heating method? So we usually stock up on some wood in the basement of the hotel in case we need it. ”

Lao Lin can see through this incident that Xiaoxiao's current economic situation is indeed a little worrisome? Otherwise, it won't even be reluctant to repair a backup generator? So he said in a deep voice, "Why do you say you are in this trouble? If you can't sustain it, you can sell it, right? It's still worth ...... here."

Xiao Xiao sighed when she heard this, "I just want to try...... See if you can live alone without a man. ”

Lao Lin said helplessly when he heard it? "There are many ways to live alone? It doesn't have to be a hotel, you don't have much experience in business management, and some things still have to be cooked and not done......"

Maybe it was because of the presence of outsiders like Yuan Muye, and Lao Lin didn't say something too straightforward? Xiao Xiao can naturally understand the truth of this? So I found a way to get the matter over.

At this time, I saw Xiaoxiao gently knock on the wine glass with a fork and said, "Everyone is coming from afar, if there is anything that is not well received, please bear with me...... In fact, I have been reluctant to sell this hotel because it is very historical, according to legend, it was once a count's private castle more than 100 years ago, and later occupied by the Germans during World War II? It has also been converted into a makeshift prison for some special inmates and their families. ”

"What is a prisoner with a special status?" Zhang Kai asked with some puzzlement after hearing this.

Xiao Xiao thought about it and said? "How can I say that they should be some prisoners who are of value to the Germans? So their families also have a certain value. ”

"And then?" Lao Lin asked casually.

"Later, after the end of World War II, it was returned to the descendants of the earl by the local government? It's a pity that the earl's descendants were already in the middle of the family at that time? So he sold the castle for money. And the person who bought the castle was the grandfather of the husband of my late husband Liao Bai's aunt...... After that, it was converted into a hotel and opened to the public. Xiao Xiao said.

Zhang Kai listened and muttered quietly? "It seems that this hotel is a man!"

After hearing this, Forging Feng glared at him and told him not to talk nonsense...... Seeing this, Zhang Kai quickly shut up quietly. But what he said seems to be right, do you think, when this hotel reaches Xiaoxiao's husband's aunt's generation, there should be only one widow left in his aunt, otherwise how could it be passed on to the woman's nephew? And now Xiaoxiao's husband has also passed away, so the hotel has been transferred to her name.

Yuan Muye seemed to be a little embarrassed when he saw the atmosphere, so he immediately continued the topic just now and said, "Since this place was once used as a prison in World War II, isn't there any terrible rumors circulating?" ”

Unexpectedly, Yuan Muye's inadvertent question made Xiaoxiao's face change, as if he didn't know how to answer his question, and at the same time, a gust of wind suddenly blew open the wooden window of the restaurant, and a knife-like cold wind immediately blew in.

All the candles on the dining table were blown out by the cold wind in an instant, and people were a little overwhelmed by the cold, Yuan Muye saw this and quickly got up and went over to close the window, who knew that it was only then that he found that it was snowing heavily, and there was still a glimmer of light on the shore of Lake Edinz not far away......

Yuan Muye returned to the dining table after closing the wooden window, and he asked Xiaoxiao with some curiosity, "Is there anyone living near Lake Eddings in the distance?" ”

Xiaoxiao said funny when she heard it, "How is it possible? It was fine in the summer, but now it's wet and cold, and it's impossible for a person in his right mind to wander around the lake during this season. ”

After hearing this, Yuan Muye carefully recalled the glimmer of light he had just seen, which was clearly a horse lantern swaying in the wind?
