I rushed over and the woman was gone.

The door at the end was still slightly open, and it was pitch black inside, and it was impossible to see anything clearly.

I walked over and grabbed the doorknob to push it in. Suddenly, a tremendous force slammed into my shoulder, knocking me to the ground.

The door slammed shut.

I hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, I'm the front desk of the inn, I have no malice, don't sing at night, the other guests are going to sleep." ”

No one responded to me.

After all, it was late at night, and I was afraid that it would be inconvenient to enter the female guest's room, so she must have heard it. And he withdrew.

The old man stood in the doorway and looked at me, "What's wrong with your shoulder?" ”

When I looked, the white T on my shoulder was a black handprint.

"It's weird!"

I was exhausted, so I asked my uncle to go to bed early, and I went back to the folding bed at the front desk.

The night was full of the sound of high heels clattering.

It seems that the night shift is not worth it either.

In the morning, I got up before dawn to deal with a group of guests.

My head was so heavy that I always felt that something was wrong.

At breakfast, Song Meng asked me how I was listless.

"Are the guests checking out so early?"

Song Meng said: "Some guests are like this, stay in at night, walk around early in the morning, and then take a boat to the bus station. There are also strategies on the Internet that say that this will not only save time, but also avoid crowds. ”

I see.

"The guests all wake up early, you can go to bed early."

"I couldn't sleep, and the uncle of 304 came to me at twelve o'clock to complain, saying that someone was singing. I won't even dare to sleep if he doesn't come. "I complained.

Song Meng glanced at me suspiciously, "We don't have room 304 in our inn?" ”

"Scare me again?"

When the wolf comes, it's enough to say it once.

Song Meng: "I really didn't lie to you, I don't believe you asked Sister Lin." ”

Sister Lin said: "It's true, the boss avoided all the rooms with the word 4 in the inn, saying that it was unlucky." ”

"But...... The old man is 304, and I can see his room number. There was also a woman in a red raincoat. "My sweat is coming down.

Could it be that Song Meng and Sister Lin are teasing me again?

Song Meng makes sense to do this, Sister Lin usually talks very little, not like a person who can make such jokes.

"Xiao Yang, stop kidding." Sister Lin looked around, and whispered a little nervously: "There is really no room No. 4 in our building, are you mistaken?" ”

Seeing that Sister Lin was not joking, my whole body froze.

Song Meng pouted, "Okay, I'll scare you once, you scare me once." You're kidding, aren't you? ”

"yes, I'm kidding." I smiled reluctantly.

Song Meng continued to eat indifferently, and Sister Lin's face was much better.

But I know I'm not kidding.

I hurriedly finished my meal, went upstairs, and looked carefully at the room number, and sure enough, there were no 204 and 304.

Last night, on room 304, there was number 308.

Of the seven rooms, there is an empty No. 4 and an extra No. 8.

I walked downstairs and asked Song Meng, "That uncle who wears a raincoat all day, does there a mole at the corner of his mouth?" Quite obvious? ”

"Nope." Song Meng shook her head.

I stood in the hall, and the daytime sun shived in.

What to do? Isn't it really the people I've seen in the past two days?

At this moment, I wanted to quit my job immediately.

But I can only think about it, maybe someone played a prank and changed the house number.

It's not easy to survive now, I only have more than 1,000 yuan in my pocket, and I can't ask my family for money anymore. Besides, I've only been in the class once, so I can't slap my face.

I was stuffy in my room at noon and sent a private message to the guy who wrote the post.

In the afternoon he replied with a buckle.

His name is Zhang Wenshao, two years younger than me, a junior in college, and a local. Coincidentally, he is still my junior brother, and we are in the same university.

In the first half of the year, the school did not open, and he came to the ancient city to work part-time.

"Brother Yang, you won't also encounter unclean things, right?"

"Did the old man you meet have a birthmark on his face?" I deliberately said it wrong.

"There is no birthmark, and there is a mole at the corner of the mouth!"

!

Isn't this the raincoat guy I met?

"How long did you quit?"

"I didn't do it for more than 20 days. It's so scary. ”

I was drenched in a cold sweat.

Lying in bed at a loss.

But one thing is for sure, the raincoat uncle doesn't seem to have malicious intentions.

"How long does the longest one last?" I asked.

"I did it for one day last time, and the longest I heard Song Meng say was that it took two months."

I breathed a sigh of relief that none of these people had happened.

As long as nothing happens, why should I be afraid, just ignore him.

Zhang Wenshao also comforted me, "Brother, it's okay." ”

In the afternoon, Zhang Wenshao said that he wanted to invite me to dinner, and he went to the ancient city in person.

I didn't expect him to be so welcoming, and it stands to reason that I should have been in for a treat.

He took me to a private restaurant and ordered a few specials.

It turned out that he wanted to be admitted to graduate school, and when he heard that I was a fresh graduate, he asked my classmate if he had been admitted and if he could introduce him.

"It's easy to say, there is a top student in our dormitory, and I went to Yanjing." I agreed to introduce him.

Zhang Wenshao was very happy.

The two of us talked about the school and quickly became brothers.

After drinking a few bottles of beer, Zhang Wenshao took off his short sleeves and leaned back on the chair shirtless.

There was a red handprint on his shoulder.

"What's wrong with your shoulder?"

"Huh?" Zhang Wenshao was drunk and confused, and scratched it with his hand, "It's okay, it's a little itchy." ”

I just asked casually.

In the end, I paid the money in front of Zhang Wenshao. I can't let my junior invite me.

"Oh, brother, I invited you." Zhang Wenshao bared his tongue, and finally gave me the peace charm around his neck, "This is what I went to the ancient city master to ask for after I resigned." They all say that he is spiritual. I don't need it, brother, you wear it to keep safe. ”

If it had been two days ago, I would have scoffed at Zhang Wenshao's words.

Now I'm thankful for him.

Hanging the amulet around my neck, I had some confidence.

Zhang Wenshao's amount of alcohol is quite rubbish, and he is shaky when he only has more than four bottles. "Do you want to send it to you?"

"No!" He waved his hand, "I'll go find Fa Xiao to play in a moment." He opened a bar in the ancient city, and he came back to introduce you to each other. Brother Yang, you go back first. ”

I saw that he was not yet drunk, so I went back first.

Back at the store, I took a cool shower. After washing, I found that my shoulders were a little itchy.

I looked down and gasped.

A slap print was on my left shoulder, and I was pushed in exactly the same position yesterday.

It is also very similar to the palm print on Zhang Wenshao's shoulder.

It felt like it was being marked.

I hurriedly called Zhang Wenshao, but he never answered, I don't know if he drank too much.

At eleven o'clock in the evening, I closed the door on time, staring at the stairs on the folding bed.

What if the raincoat comes back?

Should I go upstairs with him?

What if he rejects him, what will he do if he becomes angry?

I don't know what luck I went, and my uncle didn't come down to look for me all night.

I thought I would be so scared that I couldn't sleep, but I didn't expect to sleep until dawn.

When I opened my eyes, I found that it was already past six o'clock.

No one came to check out in the morning.

When I see the sunshine, I feel much more at ease.

I packed up the bed, Sister Lin pushed the door, her face pale, "Xiao Zhang is dead." ”
