I turned around and entered the hotel, and Boss Ye had already opened his room and was waiting for me at the front desk. I gave him a look in my eyes, and hurried upstairs.

The store has only two floors, and since the first floor only has the hotel reception and a huge restaurant, the second floor must be a residential area.

Sure enough, after going up, there were wooden doors engraved with serial numbers on both sides of the corridor. But unlike the big hotels, there are only six or seven rooms at most, and for some reason, the way to the back room is blocked by a thick red rope.

"Room 202, here." Boss Ye behind me called out to me.

Only then did I realize that I had unknowingly walked to the red rope.

So, I quickly looked inside, but I didn't find anything good - the doors were closed.

I gave up and turned back to room 202. At this time, Boss Ye had already put away his luggage and was reclining on the only sofa inside, lighting a cigarette.

"Huh? What are you doing in front of you, what's there? Boss Ye said while spitting out smoke rings.

"It's nothing, it's just that it's sealed over there, so I'm curious to go over and take a look." I put my backpack down and turned to look at the bed.

As a result, I was stunned when I saw that there was only one bed in the large room.

"How is it a single bed?" I wondered, "Isn't there a room left?" ”

"No more!" Boss Ye sneered, "The young lady downstairs said that this will be the peak tourist season, and the room is very tight." ”

Peak season? Although this is the middle of September, it can be regarded as the peak tourist season in Chongqing. But the ghost town of this capital has been sealed, can there still be so many tourists? Forget it, the single room is a single room, and Boss Ye and I will squeeze it.

Then, I put down my backpack, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and looked out.

I suddenly smiled. Dare to love that under our window is the scope of the ghost town of Xudu, in this case, Boss Ye and I will tie a rope casually, won't we just go in?

"Don't laugh, the young lady downstairs said, someone is watching here, whoever turns it down will drive it away." The words of Boss Ye behind me were like a basin of cold water, dousing my thoughts.

Then I looked down again. Sure enough, on the pavilion below and a few stone benches, I saw a few people wearing red armbands.

Presumably, these are the patrolmen who are here to keep an eye out to prevent someone from tumbling in.

"It's okay to be flipping through at night, and they can't be here for a day anyway, right?" Boss Ye added again.

I looked at the fiery clouds that were not far away in the setting sun, and thought this was the solution. Anyway, one more hour and it will be completely dark, right?

Of course, instead of waiting in my room, I went down and walked around the neighborhood. As for Boss Ye, he didn't really want to go. I simply let him stay at the hotel and wait for the rope to be lowered when the time came.

Boss Ye agreed.

In the time since then, I have almost walked around the ghost town of Xudu for most of the time, and I have a new understanding of the terrain here.

As we all know, the construction of the ghost city of Xudu comes with a certain knowledge of gossip feng shui. Naturally, there are only two exits here, one is the gate, and the other is the side gate, which is naturally blocked.

After thinking about it, I made another half-round. As a result, this circumambulation directly spared me to the mountain.

But this mountain road is not in vain, I found a mysterious and hidden path here.

And when I found it, it happened that a couple of people had just walked by.

From the backs of those people and the equipment they carried, I judged that they could not be the villagers here. It's a bit like ......

My mind flashed back to what the previous expedition had looked like.

The backs of those people just now are similar to the backs of the people who came back from the expedition team later, could it be that they are the members of the expedition team?

I was so excited that without saying a word, I thought I'd go along and find out.

But at this time, the mobile phone in his pocket vibrate. I took it out and saw that it was a message from Boss Ye: Where are you? Come back and get ready for action!

I couldn't help it, I looked up at the place where the group had disappeared. I still chose to go back first......

As soon as I entered the door of the old man's hotel, I heard the angry roar of Boss Ye from upstairs: "Which eye of yours saw me go down?" Where did I drop my stuff, what happened when I poked my head out to pick it up? ”

Then there was another unfamiliar voice mixed with the local dialect: "Do you pick up something and tie a long rope?" And, I've seen you come back and forth several times! ”

"What's wrong? I'm not okay, I still don't give it to climb the rope? ”

With Boss Ye's explosion, the sound of things falling to the ground crackled upstairs......

I can probably guess what happened from the conversation, and alas, it's going to be a little more trouble.

I patted my head and was about to go upstairs when I saw a girl sitting at the hotel bar. It's strange, there's such a big thing upstairs, as the person in charge of the management of the hotel, shouldn't you go up to mediate? What's even more bizarre is that there is a fight upstairs, and she can still write here. The heart is really big!

My curiosity swelled up, and I unconsciously put the noise upstairs behind, and instead walked to the front desk, and talked to the girl: "Hey, hello young lady, what's going on with such a noise upstairs?" Aren't you going to check it out? ”

I put on a face that was harmless to humans and animals. But the young lady at the front desk didn't even raise her head, she only snorted coldly: "Don't go." ”

I was embarrassed and wanted to ask, but I saw that the people had been concentrating on writing things in the small notebook, and they didn't stop the whole time.

So, I went back to the staircase.

At the moment when I was about to go upstairs, I turned my head back, but I saw that the girl still did not stop......

"You move your hands again, believe it or not, I'll call someone to come and arrest you!"

As soon as I went up to the second floor, I saw a middle-aged man retreating again and again, muttering as he retreated. Boss Ye raised his hand and pressed forward step by step, until the middle-aged man retreated to a place where he could no longer retreat.

Seeing that Boss Ye's slap was about to fall on the middle-aged man's face again, I quickly stopped him: "Hey, you, don't make trouble!" ”

"I'm doing something, this turtle grandson came up to blackmail me, saying that he would fine me 2,000! And they said they would drive us out of here! Boss Ye said angrily.

"What's going on?!" I deliberately looked at the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man in front of him had sharp-beaked monkey gills, and there was blood on the corners of his eyes on his forehead, so he must have been educated by Boss Ye. At this time, although he was curled up at the mouth of the balcony, trembling all over, his mouth was not willing to lag behind: "You guys, beat Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu wants to call someone to arrest you!" You'll have to compensate me for my medical bills! ”

"Hey, you turtle grandson! You still say! "Boss Ye raised his fist again, and I quickly stopped him behind." Wait, don't run! Seeing that I stopped Boss Ye, the middle-aged man took the opportunity to run to the stairs, and went downstairs with a "bang", and disappeared......

I smiled, turned around and patted Boss Ye: "What are you fighting with a scoundrel, what happened, you let him find him?" ”

"Harm, it's not that I'm afraid that the rope is not strong enough, so I climbed a little, but as soon as I was about to climb up, this turtle grandson shouted, but it scared me. Then, he came up...... "Boss Ye scratched his head and took another shit, "This turtle grandson, it seems that he doesn't even have a red armband, so he dares to come up!" ”

"Alright, alright, you've beaten him too. It's not early. We need to act! I patted Boss Ye on the shoulder, pulled him back into the room, and closed the door with my hand.

The window in the room was wide open, and a rope was passing through the window, tightly tied to the foot of the bed in the room. The position of this single bed is also a little different from the previous one, slightly moving a little in the direction of the window sill.

I admire Boss Ye for daring to climb the rope after tying one at the foot of the bed.

It's also the second floor. With a wry smile, I removed the rope and found a spot on the window edge to tie it, then ran back to the foot of the bed and tied it.

After that, I pulled the rope and felt like it was almost fastened. He beckoned Boss Ye, put on his backpack, and slid down the rope one after the other.

At this time, it was already half past eight, and it was also close to the closing time of the ghost city of Xudu. However, perhaps because of the construction of flood control projects, the entire city is still brightly lit, and there is no tendency to close the city and close the mountain.

"It's bustling here than it was when it was open." I smiled, "I don't know if it's the wishes of the villagers, or if it's the construction team or the ...... The will of the expedition. ”

My mind flashed to the image of the expedition I had just met on that trail.

"Boss Ye, do you know, it's really that expedition team, I just met them." I blurted out and told Boss Ye.

"Huh? Where is it? At the gate? ”

"No, a trail in the mountains behind. You don't see a way into this mountain, but there is a trail that seems to be open. As I spoke, I set up a gossip array in my heart again, and calculated what kind of path that path would be.

The results that can be obtained shocked me - it turned out to be one, the door of death? Impasse?

I was about to tell Boss Ye the results of my calculations, but I saw him exclaim in surprise and slam my head down.

"Don't talk, don't talk, hurry up, lie as low as you can, lie as low as you can." Boss Ye whispered in my ear, and at the same time, he also lay on the ground by himself.

I didn't dare to speak, and I pressed myself completely to the ground.

In front of us, there was a dense grove of trees. After this grove, you need to pass through a meadow to reach the road. I looked through the cracks in the trees to see what was going on on the road.

And at this look, I vaguely saw a figure, somewhat familiar, but I didn't know whose it was.

But soon, the figure disappeared, and at the same time, I heard Boss Ye's words: "That is the young lady of the hotel's main station just now, I'm afraid she's here to patrol......"

No wonder it's so familiar, but why did she come into a ghost town so late?
