Chapter 16: Knocking at the Door?
Tan Wen's face instantly became wrong, and I just couldn't hold back my laughter.
"Regardless of whether you know it or not, I think these three words must be related to the destination we are going to, and when the time comes, maybe these three words will be solved naturally." I said with a smile.
"That makes sense." At this time, Chen Bei echoed on the side.
After reading the map, the three of us stayed in the accommodation arranged by Chen Bei and prepared for the next day's trip.
I always felt unaccustomed to sleeping outside, so I didn't take off my clothes, and I fell asleep after playing two games at night.
I got out of bed the next morning and hurried to the airport.
After several hours of flying, when he arrived in Wuling City under the Wuling Mountains, Chen Bei said first.
"Let's find a place to stay in the city. Find it tomorrow. ”
Tan Wen and I glanced at each other and nodded.
Chen Bei seemed to be very familiar with Wuling City, and he took us to an ice coffin rented by a farmer, and the proprietress was very enthusiastic and greeted us in very fluent Mandarin.
This proprietress also looks to be in her fifties, and at first glance, she is quite honest.
"Why is Boss Chen in such a shabby place, so rich, and living in this place, it's too stingy." Tan Wen whispered in my ear.
I nodded slightly, and didn't say anything, in fact, I'm a relatively easy-going person, basically it's nice to have a place to live, and I don't care so much.
Chen Bei rented three rooms, but they were all on the fourth floor, and I happened to live in 404, this room number is not very auspicious, and I didn't care so much.
At about 9 p.m., the three of us went back to our respective rooms after dinner outside.
I was going to sleep, but I was just in bed.
"Knock knock" knocks on the door disrupted my plans. In desperation, I looked over the cat's eye and found that it was Chen Bei and Tan Wen, so I opened the door.
The two of them came into my room with the map, and I knew it was to discuss where to find the grave.
"This map, the place it refers to tomorrow, it depends on you to carefully survey, but what I can't figure out is that it is here on the map." Tan Wen pointed to a small village under the main peak of Wuling.
"This village is marked on the map as Longqing Village, but I checked the map and found that I couldn't find it at all, what is going on?"
I picked up the map in Tan Wen's hand and looked at it.
"Don't you have any information on the Internet?" I stared at Tan Wen suspiciously, generally speaking, no matter how small it is, you can still find some information, besides, this is still a village.
Tan Wen shook his head again.
I suddenly had a feeling that I suspected that this thing was fake.
"In this way, let's obviously go and see first according to this map, and generally speaking, this village should not be unregistered." I suggested, and the two of them didn't have any opinions.
"It won't be because of this, will it? Anything else? "I don't believe it very much, can it be that he came to me because of this thing?
There's really nothing to talk about chatting.
"You'll find out later, it's better for the shopkeeper here." Tan Wen and Chen Bei said in unison.
The two of them are mysterious, but their faces don't look good to me.
I feel a little confused by the second monk.
Hearing him say this, I also waited quietly, and after a while, there was a knock at the door.
I was about to get out of bed and open the door, but I was grabbed by Tan Wen, who asked loudly.
"Who is it?" Tan Wen's face was not good, I was completely confused now, saying that I was coming, but I was not allowed to open.
"Hostess!" shouted outside the door.
Tan Wen sat down suddenly.
"Wait a little longer, it's estimated to be here later."
"Isn't it?" I was a little confused, but Tan Wen shook his head and motioned for me not to speak.
The knocking at the door continued, and none of the three of us spoke, for about five or six minutes, as if because no one opened the door, and the sound at the door disappeared.
Tan Wen and Chen Bei suddenly exhaled a big breath, as if they were very nervous just now. A few drops of sweat fell from their faces unconsciously.
"What's the matter, why didn't you open the door just now?" I asked, confused.
"It's not clear about this, wait for the boss lady to come, and you'll know." The two of them still don't want to say, I'm helpless. Can only sit and look at the phone.
After a while, there was a knock on the door, and I felt tired of listening to the knock.
Tan Wen asked in the same words: "Who is it?" ”
The voice at the door said something I didn't understand at all.
"There's something for the evening, please take a look." This time, Tan Wen didn't panic, and Chen Bei didn't speak on the side, completely unable to understand what they wanted to do.
Tan Wen walked to the door and opened the door. I saw that the proprietress broke into the door with a very anxious face, and then closed the door.
"What's going on? Why are you so flustered. I couldn't help but ask curiously, this proprietress was in a hurry as soon as she came in, I instinctively felt that this matter must not be simple.
"Help me! Please. The proprietress suddenly knelt down unexpectedly.
"Say first, don't do that." I hurriedly got up and went to hold the proprietress around.
The proprietress sat down on the bed and talked to the three of us, with my support.
"The hotel I opened was originally left to me by my husband, and I relied on this small hotel to have food and clothing.
A year ago, two very strange people came to me to rent a room, why do you say weird, the two of them carried one on their backs, and wrapped the person who was carried by the quilt in a red cloth coat.
At first, I thought it was nothing, maybe someone had some kind of disease. ”
The proprietress said as she looked a little wrong.
"They came down with one on their backs, and I was surprised, but I didn't care, and that night, I went up to the floors to check for broken appliances, which I went back to check almost every other month.
When I walked to the door of the room between the two people, I inadvertently seemed to hear a burst of roars, and I naturally stood at the door to listen. ”
The proprietress changed and changed at this time, and then said in an extremely trembling voice.
"I remember that it was two men, but when I approached the door, there was a woman talking inside, and the woman said, 'This is a good place, you can find a place.'"
Then I heard a very delicate male voice say, 'Mother, you can stay here, so many people's essence is enough for you to eat for a while.' The man's voice was so delicate that it was like the one who had booked the room before.
Of course, I knew what the spirit was, and after reading what was written in the movie, coupled with my instinctive curiosity, I panicked all of a sudden, and went downstairs to find someone to come up, intending to open the door to see.
But when I opened the door, it was empty, and I was very surprised, but when I saw that the room was empty, and everything was not missing, I was most surprised that this room did not look like anyone had lived in it at all.
The person I found comforted me, saying that it was estimated that the people had left, but who would leave in a hurry overnight, I naturally couldn't figure it out, but I couldn't find anything, so I could only go down.
In order to confirm that the two people had lived, I specially checked the opening record, but found that the room was not rented out at all, and I seriously doubted that I was hallucinating, but the opening record was not. ”
The proprietress said this, her face had become extremely embarrassed, as if she had thought of some very terrifying scene.
"Later, I thought that this matter was over, until one day, someone in the hotel where I stayed disappeared at night, and there were room opening records or something, but the person was gone, I checked the surveillance, and found that the person had not been out of the hotel at all.
Later, I told the head catcher, but because I couldn't find any clues, I didn't pursue it too much, but since then, one or two people have disappeared almost every month. I realized that something was serious, and after calling the police, the head catcher couldn't find out what was going on.
I can only invite the so-called Taoist priests, and after inviting a few, I will not invite them, because the Taoist priests invited to do some Dharma things, in fact, they don't understand anything, and then they collect expensive money, not to mention, and they will go crazy after a month when they go back. ”
The proprietress said with a look of hatred on her face.
"What does this have to do with you telling us not to open the door?" I interjected with confusion.
The proprietress continued: "That's what I'm going to say next."
"Later, someone from the accommodation came to complain, saying that I knocked on the door at night, but he didn't open it, so I wondered why I always came to complain about me."
"I opened another room by myself, and at night, when someone knocked on the door, saying that she was the proprietress of the hostess, I didn't dare to respond, knowing that the next day, I combined with the previous guess that there was a problem with the person who knocked on the door.
I checked the surveillance that night, but it showed no one, and then it became the norm.
However, this incident led to very few tenants coming to rent in the future, so I found the contact information of Boss Chen on the Internet. The proprietress said that she looked at Chen Bei.
I was a little confused and asked, "How to contact us?" Dealing with this kind of thing? ”
Seeing that I had doubts, Chen Bei looked up with a very embarrassed face and was about to explain to me, at this moment.
"Knock knock" The knock at the door rang out again.
