After eight hours of long-distance driving, the car finally arrived in Jiuzhai in the evening.

At this time, the sky has gradually turned gray, and the unstoppable night is quietly approaching.

Xu Shun thought that he was originally complained unreasonably when he delivered takeaways, so he called his buddies and rats together, and wanted to come to Jiuzhaigou to travel and relax, they found this spontaneous tour team on the Internet, and a group of young people who had never known each other got together like this. However, I didn't expect that this trip was not easy.

He looked at his companions, except for the captain Wang Feng, who seemed to be in good spirits, everyone else was full of tiredness.

Tian Tian is arranging his hair. When she set out in the morning, she still looked glamorous, but at this moment, her hair was messy, her complexion was dull, and she had long lost her morning style.

Yang Li and Shi are a husband and wife. At this moment, Yang Li was vomiting on the side, her face looked ugly because of altitude sickness. Stone handed her a tissue beside him, and she took it impatiently.

Originally, everyone planned to camp outside at night.

But at this moment, dragging the tired body, everyone seems to have lost their previous passion, let alone the idea of camping outside. For them at this moment, being able to take a hot bath and sleep comfortably is the most expected thing.

"I want to have a bed and sleep. The whole body is about to fall apart. Tian Tian was the first to ask, "Can I not camp tonight?" ”

"Me too, I have to stay in a hotel. I can't take it anymore...... I'm dying......" Yang Li was speechless, and her husband was holding the luggage in one hand and supporting her with the other.

"What about you?" Wang Feng asked Xu Shun and the mouse.

"We don't care, we can all do it." Xu Shun replied.

In fact, Xu Shun also wants to live in a hotel, and he even hopes that he can sleep in bed for three days and three nights without getting up. At the moment, he seems a little tired, the symptoms of altitude sickness have not completely dissipated, and everyone needs a better rest in order to climb the mountain better tomorrow.

"Okay, let's stay in a hotel tonight." Captain Wang Feng said.

He continued: "However, we didn't book a hotel in advance, and now it's the peak tourist season, so it's definitely difficult to find a room temporarily, and we can't necessarily find a room that everyone is happy with." ”

"It's okay, I don't dislike it, just have a place to sleep." Tian Tian said.

Wang Feng looked at everyone again, and everyone had no opinions.

He continued: "On the way here, I saw a lot of hotels on the side of the road, and we can only ask one by one now, and if it is suitable, we will stay." ”

Wang Feng beckoned everyone to bring their luggage and walked towards the hotel in front.

They asked a total of five hotels along the way, but four of them had no rooms, and only one was still available, 1,000 yuan a night.

Wang Feng said to everyone: "There are no rooms in other hotels, just this one, I think the environment here is not bad, or we will stay here!" ”

"How much?" Yang Li asked.

"A thousand per night, it's a bit expensive, but the environment is good." Wang Feng said.

"So expensive? Robbery? Yang Li made it clear that she objected, "We don't live here." ”

"But there is no room left, if you don't live here, then there is no place to live." Wang Feng said to Yang Li.

"It's too expensive, we can't afford it." Yang Li looked reluctant.

"You see you've vomited like that, what do you care about with this money, and resting well is the most important thing." Tian Tian on the side tried to persuade Yang Li.

"In short, we don't live, you want to live by yourself, you don't care about us, then we'll go out and find it ourselves." With that, Yang Li was going to pull her husband away.

"No one said they would leave you alone!" Seeing that Yang Li wanted to leave, Tian Tian was anxious, and quickly explained, "Everyone comes out together, they must be together, besides, you vomit like that, how can we rest assured that you will go out by yourself!" The main thing is, where can I still find a house now? ”

At this time, it is the golden season of Jiuzhaigou, every day the tourists are full, the hotel basically has no vacant rooms, and the room is grabbed, just like robbing people.

"Why not, I saw someone holding a sign on the side of the road saying accommodation, why can't I ask?" Yang Li said.

"You're talking about the kind of room in a Tibetan house, which we can't get used to." Tian Tian explained to Yang Li.

"What's not used to, just be cheap!" Yang Li said.

Tian Tian wanted to say something more, but Yang Li was determined not to live in such an expensive hotel. Seeing this, Wang Feng had no choice but to say to everyone:

"Well, let's ask about the kind of roadside house again, and maybe we can find a suitable one."

Everyone began the difficult process of finding a house again. However, they had seen people holding signs on the side of the road before, but now, no one was there. Finally, I saw another person standing on the side of the road holding a sign for accommodation.

Wang Feng asked him, "Do you have a house?" ”

The man replied, "Yes, but there are only a few rooms left, and there is no choice to choose, and the conditions are worse." ”

Wang Feng said again: "We saw a lot of signs on the side of the road before, why are they all gone?" ”

The man said, "They're all full, so they're all going back, and I'm going to call it a day!" ”

Wang Feng said: "Don't you still have a few rooms for sale?" Calling it a day so early? ”

The man replied: "These rooms are a bit poor, and the boss said that if they can be sold, they will be sold, and if they can't be sold, forget it." ”

Yang Li asked, "How much is it?" ”

The man replied, "Two hundred." ”

Hearing the man say this, Yang Li's eyes seemed to glow, and she hurriedly said to the man:

"Then you can take us to see it!"

After a while, the young man led them to the boss.

The boss is a middle-aged man with an inch head, a chubby face, a cigarette in his mouth, a mobile phone in his hand, sitting on the sofa playing games and playing energetically.

The young man said to him, "Boss, they are looking for a place to live!" ”

The middle-aged man didn't look at him, but replied, "Got it, right away!" ”

Then, he turned back to Wang Feng and his party and said, "Wait a minute, I'll be done soon!" ”

Listening to the boss's accent, he should be Han Chinese, but he is dressed in Tibetan clothes.

Everyone saw that the boss was playing games and was dressed as a Tibetan, so they didn't urge him.

Two minutes passed, and the game was not over, and the boss tilted his head and said to everyone: "That room is relatively poor, but it is cheap, you see if you want to live!" ”

Wang Feng asked, "Boss, are you Han or Tibetan?" Listen to your accent like Han Chinese, and look at your dress like Tibetan. ”

The boss said, "I can hear the accent, I'm Han." Wearing Tibetan clothes is just following the local customs. ”

Hearing the boss say that he was Han Chinese, everyone felt a little more relaxed.

Wang Feng said: "They are all Han and half of the countrymen!" By the way, can you show us the room? ”

The boss said: "The room is not here, it is in an alley next to it, and it is a little far away, in a Tibetan house." Are you going to see it? ”

When everyone heard that it was still a little far away, and it would take some time to walk over, they were a little hesitant and didn't want to toss back and forth.

The boss added: "Although the conditions are poor, you can't find anything cheaper in this place." ”

When Yang Li heard this, she said to everyone: "Otherwise, we will live here, right?" ”

No one spoke.

Yang Li began to negotiate the price with the boss:

"Big brother, can you give us a cheaper? Everyone is Han Chinese, you can give a discount! ”

"Eldest sister, if it had been a month ago, I would have given you a hundred to live in. But what is the situation now, you have also seen, we rely on this time to make money all year round, and when the autumn passes, no one will come in the winter...... You've seen so many of them, but mine is the cheapest, right? It's good that you came early, and in the evening, you can't find a room if you want to, all of them are gone......"

Everyone knows that he is not lying, it is the first time that they have faced such a tight problem with the listing.

"Or maybe it's here. Do you think it's okay......? Yang Li asked everyone tentatively.

She knew that everyone actually had some complaints about her in their hearts.

Still no one spoke.

Wang Feng saw that the atmosphere was a little awkward, so he said to everyone:

"Why don't you just stay here, I see that everyone is tired and doesn't want to look for it anymore. Anyway, there's a place to sleep. ”

Wang Feng said to the boss: "Then we want four rooms!" ”

"Four?"

"What's wrong, isn't it?"

"That's not it, you're lucky, I only have four rooms left, and there is no more one, I thought you wanted three!" The boss looked at Wang Feng and Tian Tian, and probably regarded them as a couple.

"Look at how lucky we are, it's better to come early than to come by chance, it's really God's favor!" Yang Li seemed to grasp a life-saving straw.

So, they asked for the only four rooms left, one for Xu Shun and Mouse, one for Shi and Yang Li, one for Wang Feng, and one for Tian Tian.

The landlord took everyone through several small alleys, and finally came to the courtyard of a family, and he pointed out the second floor to everyone, saying that the room was on the second floor. Then he turned around and prepared to leave.

"You haven't given us the key yet?" Wang Feng hurriedly stopped him.

"There was no key, the room was opened straight in. It's safe to sleep at night and lock it from the inside. Tomorrow morning you just have to go and confiscate the deposit anyway. The landlord left.

It is a standard Tibetan-style dwelling, with two floors and a very tall exterior wall, made of stone, all painted red, which is particularly eye-catching. Above the entrance to the gate into the courtyard hangs white yak horns, and the horns are covered with hada; Entering the gate is a small courtyard, which is full of colorful prayer flags, some triangular, some square, and some long; In the middle of the courtyard is a mound of mani made of stones, also painted red; In the corner of the yard, a row of moon flowers is planted, and a Tibetan mastiff is tied next to it......

"It's magnificent!"

"It's beautiful."

As soon as you enter the door, everyone is conquered by the appearance of this house.

However, when they entered the room, everyone's excitement was at the bottom.

The interior furnishings of the room are in stark contrast to the beautiful and spectacular exterior of the room. The room was small, with little room left after the twin beds. There are no windows, and the so-called window is a square hole cut into the wall, and it is estimated that an adult will not be able to climb into it. There are no curtains, but fortunately there is an open space behind it, and no one can peek into it. There was no light, and the only light that came in was through that little hole. There is no bathroom, the bathroom is at the end of the corridor and is shared, and the shower for bathing is in the toilet and is also shared. The walls of the room are painted white, and in some places the dust has begun to peel off. The roof was probably soaked due to the leakage, and you can see the yellow stains left behind after the water dried.

A special smell came from the pavement. It's like the musty smell of mold, it's like the smell of Tibetan butter tea, it's like the sour smell of not taking a bath for a long time, and it's like the smell of a cow...... I can't tell you what it is, but it has a complex and mellow smell mixed with various smells, and it makes you feel drunk after taking a deep breath.

The beds are covered with Tibetan bedding. It can be seen that what should have been a very bright color is now dull and black, and even the flowers on it have lost the slightest beauty of flowers, but seem to have been pasted with a thick layer of pulp.

Xu Shun lifted the quilt on the bed, carefully put his nose up and sniffed it, and a sour smell came to his face. He immediately pinched his nose and ran outside.

Everyone looked at each other's rooms, and everyone's rooms were the same.

It seems that no one has lived in these rooms for a long time.

At this time, everyone saw a Tibetan woman working in the yard, and Wang Feng went over to say hello:

"Hello, are you the owner of this yard?"

The woman replied, "Tashi Delek!" This is our house. ”

Wang Feng pointed to a few rooms upstairs and said, "Are these rooms usually not inhabited?" ”

"Yes, it's usually empty, put the clutter." Tibetan woman said.

"Why are you selling it to tourists now?" Wang Feng asked again.

"A month ago, a Han man rented all the upstairs!" The woman replied.

"So, you didn't sell the room, you just took someone else's rent, right?"

"Yes." The woman nodded.

Wang Feng understood, it turned out that because it was the peak tourist season, some Han people came here to be bosses and started business, they first rented these houses at a low price, and then sold them to tourists at a high price! These shrewd and cunning Han businessmen!

"You can't live in a room like this. At first glance, there is usually no one living at all, so let's change places! Tian Tian said.

"But there are no rooms here, and there are no more people holding signs, so where can I change them?" Mouse said. Even he, who is usually unkempt and unsophisticated, is full of dissatisfaction at the moment.

"Why don't you go to the hotel where you stayed before! It's a bit more expensive, but it's much better than here. Wang Feng said.

He asked Yang Li again, "What do you think?" ”

Seeing the appearance of the room here, Yang Li really felt guilty, and she herself didn't want to live in such a place. She said: "Let's change it, I didn't expect the room here to be like this, it's really impossible to live in." ”

So, the group found the boss and prepared to negotiate the check-out.

Wang Feng said: "I'm sorry, boss, we have already looked at the room just now, and we discussed it and want to live in a different place." ”

Wang Feng's tone was more sincere, because he didn't know if the boss would agree to give them a refund.

The boss is also easy to talk to, and should be relatively clear about the condition of the room. He said:

"It's okay, just quit if you don't want to live."

After saying that, he happily returned the money to them. He said, "It's just that there are basically no rooms around now, and it's still hard for you to find them when you go out." ”

Wang Feng said: "It's okay, let's figure it out ourselves." ”

"Then good luck to you!" The boss said with a smile. It seems that the guest's check-out did not affect his mood in the slightest.

"Thank you! I didn't expect the boss to be really happy, we were all worried before, afraid that you would not agree to return! ”

"That's it for doing business, buying and selling is not benevolent! If you want to do business, we Han people will do it! Look at these Tibetans here, they are dumbfounded, and if you let him do business, he won't do it! You see that there are so many people in the tourist season now, isn't it a good time to make money, but if you let them make money, they don't know how to make it! You see, I just like this upside down house, and I can make a lot of money in this peak season. "The boss was honest and talked about business.

Wang Feng was speechless, so he had to say: "Then I wish the boss a prosperous business and a lot of wealth!" ”

With that, they turned and prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute." The boss stopped them again, "I don't plan to sell these rooms anymore, if you really can't find a room, you can still come back." ”

"Okay, thank you boss!"

Wang Feng is still grateful to this boss from the bottom of his heart, at least he is easy to talk to, and he left them a way back. It's just that everyone is thinking in their hearts: we can't come back!

Bidding farewell to the boss, the group dragged their luggage back with hope, and walked to the previous hotel, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that this time they finally didn't have to run anymore, but the reality slapped their faces again - the room was gone!

Everyone has nothing to say, and no words are enough to express their mood at this moment.

Yang Li felt that everyone's eyes were staring at her at the moment, making her feel hot on her face.

"It's all your fault, it's okay now, the room is gone." Her husband Stone finally couldn't help it.

Along the way, I finally heard him say the first sentence.

"How can you blame me, I also want to save everyone money, besides, I don't know that the room over there is so bad!" Maybe it was her husband's scolding that made her very faceless, Yang Li argued loudly.

"If you hadn't done it, everyone would have fallen asleep by now." Stone said.

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Wang Feng hurriedly stood up and said to everyone:

"Let's not blame anyone now, it's important to find a place to live now. But you can also see that there are no houses around now, so we still have to go back to the old little black house, fortunately the boss said that he will not take out those rooms and sell them again, and we will still have rooms if we go back now. ”

No one can think of a better way, and there is no reason to refute it.

The poor group of people had no choice but to return to their little dark house, which they hated and hated.

Everyone was too tired to speak, so they went back to their rooms and began to wash, all they wanted was to be able to collapse on the bed quickly and then remain motionless.

Wang Feng returned to the room, put down his luggage, and habitually flipped up his mobile phone.

Suddenly, a piece of news caught his attention-

It has been three days since the hiker in a certain scenic spot was missing, and he has not been found yet, and the search is still continuing!

Wang Feng's heart suddenly chuckled, and he felt a trace of worry. Tomorrow they will also go hiking in the mountains, will they also encounter an unexpected loss of contact?

For everyone's safety, he thought, they needed to hire a guide!

Wang Feng hurriedly informed everyone to come to his room for a meeting immediately, he had important things to discuss with everyone.

Although everyone didn't want to toss anymore, and they didn't know what was going on with Wang Feng, but seeing his urgent appearance, everyone gathered in his room for the first time.

"Today's situation, only the grievances of everyone here will be overnight, fortunately, I have seen that there is hot water in the bathroom, everyone can take a hot shower. But here is a higher altitude, don't wash too long, and be more careful not to catch a cold. Wang Feng said.

Then he said, "Next, I would like to discuss with you about hiring a guide." I think it's necessary for us to have a guide for everyone's safety. ”

"I didn't say I wanted a guide before, so why did you suddenly think of asking for a guide?" Tian Tian asked.

"Did you see the news?" Wang Feng took out his mobile phone, flipped to the news, and handed it to everyone, "I also saw it just now." ”

Everyone circulated their mobile phones to each other, and they all saw the news that the donkey friend was missing.

"Now that you've seen it, I also saw this news before I thought that I should ask for a guide, it will be safer, do you have any opinions?" Wang Feng asked everyone.

"I think I can please, I have no opinion." Tian Tian said.

"I think it's a waste of money to be uninvited. I've seen on the Internet that other people go in on foot, and they don't use a guide. I heard that the route inside is quite simple, we have a compass, just follow the general direction. Yang Li said.

"It's the first time we've been here, so we're not familiar with it, and besides, the terrain in the mountains is complicated, so what if you get lost, ask a guide, it's safe." Xu Shun also expressed his opinion.

"What's not safe, what's not safe for everyone to be together." Yang Li said again.

"Just to prevent accidents, you didn't watch the news!" The mouse was a little impatient with Yang Li.

"You also said that it was just an accident, and this news was just an accident, since it was an accident, the chance of it happening is very small." Yang Li continued to object.

"What if it happens? Is money or life important? Tian Tian also began to show his dissatisfaction with Yang Li.

"How can it be so easy to encounter, if this is encountered, it can only mean that we are unlucky and destined." Yang Li was not to be outdone, she added, "It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided." ”

"Your mind is really wonderful." Tian Tian turned her head as she spoke, she obviously didn't want to deal with Yang Li anymore.

"My thought was that it was necessary to have a guide. We want to keep everyone safe first. Wang Feng said to everyone.

Then he said: "Since we can't agree on the same opinion, let's vote by show of hands, the minority obeys the majority, and if you don't want to, you can leave the team and make your own arrangements." ”

"Forget it, don't mention it, since you all agree, then please." Yang Li said. Because she was the only one in the team who was opposing, there was no point in raising her hand.

"So where do you go to get a guide?" Tian Tian asked.

"I've just seen it on the Internet, and everything on the Internet has already been booked. If we are looking for it now, we can only find it now. Wang Feng said.

"Looking for locals here?" Tian Tian asked.

"That's what it means." Wang Feng replied.

"Maybe we can ask the landlord, I think the fat man is quite upright, and he is familiar with this place, and he is also a thief, maybe he can help us think of a way." Xu Shun suddenly thought of the previous fat landlord.

Unexpectedly, they really found the right person!

The landlord boss looked proud: "I'm right when you ask this question, I won't tell you, I've evaded tickets before, and we are really on foot, and we're coming out of the house." After saying that, he also took out a piece of paper and a pen, and drew a picture with relish.

"We wanted to ask a guide to show us the way. Can you help us? Wang Feng asked.

The landlord boss showed embarrassment: "I don't have time, you see I have to greet so many people every day, I have to do business, I can't help it!" ”

"You're mistaken, I didn't mean that, I meant if you could help us find another guide." Wang Feng explained, "Those who have been in there are familiar with the route. ”

The landlord thought for a moment and said, "As soon as you say that, I remember that there is a person, Abu Zashi, who has also been in with us before...... But I heard that he went out to herd cattle, and I don't know if he came back ......."

"Then please help us ask, thank you."

The landlord was also happy and dialed Abu's phone:

"Hey...... Abu...... Did you come back from herding? ”

"I only came back today, what's the matter?" said on the phone.

"Oh, you see, what a coincidence...... That's right, I live here tonight with a group of young people, they want to go hiking Jiuzhaigou, they need a guide ......, do you think you can do it? ”

"Oh...... What's going on...... But I've just come back, and I'm so tired that my bones are falling apart, so forget it......"

With that, Abu hung up the phone.

The group looked very melancholy.

"That's it, big brother...... You call Abu again, and I'll talk to him. Wang Feng pleaded with the landlord.

"Well, well......"

Again, the landlord dialed Abu's phone.

"Hello Abu, we are travelers who are going to hike, my name is Wang Feng." Wang Feng said to Abu on the phone, "We are all here for the first time, and we are not familiar with the place, so for the sake of us coming from thousands of miles away, take us for a while...... It's not easy for us to come here...... The cost is negotiable......"

After a while, a sentence came out from there: "For the sake of you coming from afar, I'll take you on a trip, the cost is not a problem, you just give it as you like." ”

The stone in everyone's heart finally landed.

The guide's matter is solved, but before Yang Li thought about it, she muttered beside her:

"Is this pleased? It must be expensive! I'll just say no,...... My family still has to split two shares. ”

"Don't say it, what are you doing so much, this is what everyone agrees on." Her husband is much more reasonable than her.

"If you don't say it, don't say it, my money is yours anyway."

"Abu didn't extort us from the sky, he said that we would give the fee as we pleased, and we would just give it to him at the market price, and we would not treat him badly, and we would not suffer any loss." Wang Feng explained.

Yang Li was quiet on the side, but it could be seen from her whispered mouth that she was not satisfied.

Wang Feng saw that the atmosphere was starting to become a little awkward, so he disbanded everyone and went back to their rooms.

So much has happened on the first day!

This night, Xu Shun tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
