Chapter 2 The God of Wealth Inn
When I subconsciously turned around, I saw a child behind me at some point.
The child was about eight or nine years old, wearing a small black jacket, and he looked particularly mysterious when he stood in the shadows outside.
"You...... What's wrong with you? I asked softly.
The boy shook his head and didn't speak, but he still looked at me faintly. I don't know why I don't have any sparkle in my eyes when I look at this boy, he stands behind you as if he's staring straight at you, and he seems to be alone there in a daze.
As I stared at the boy, a refreshing fragrance entered my nose.
I looked back at the scent and saw a slender woman in a red cheongsam walking slowly up the stairs on the second floor. The woman looked at me, then at the middle-aged uncle standing in the middle of the lobby, and said, "Uncle Kun, why did you remember to be here at night?" ”
Uncle Kun waved his hand and said with a smile, "Hey, it's okay, right...... Is Cui Laosan here? ”
"The third master is out, I will take care of this store today, just tell me if you have anything."
As the two of them were talking, I suddenly felt a cold wind blowing, and when I came back to my senses, I saw the little boy running past me and running straight to the woman's side.
"Big bag, did mom say that she wouldn't let you run around alone?"
Mom? I was shocked.
Looking at the woman's appearance at this time, she is only twenty-three or four, and this little boy is seven or eight years old, which is really ridiculous.
The middle-aged uncle told the woman about my situation, and then turned and left the inn.
In fact, this inn is not big, a three-story building, and the decoration in the lobby is also very quaint. There were no electrical appliances in the inn, only a few candlesticks lit on the walls with a faint glow.
The woman stood behind the old-fashioned counter, looking through a ledger out of nowhere. Behind her were jars of varying sizes, and in the middle of those jars was a black cat. The cat looked like an iron cat, with two eyes glowing green.
For some reason, the two eyes of the iron anchor seemed to have magical powers, locking all my eyes firmly on it. Gradually, the iron cat in my eyes began to fade, and only the two gems with a faint green glow remained.
"Well, why did you suddenly want to come to us so late?"
The gentle and slightly charming voice of the proprietress suddenly pulled me out of my illusion, and I looked at the proprietress embarrassedly and smiled "Oh, I ...... I got lost and came here by mistake. ”
"Mistaken?"
I smiled and nodded.
"Name."
"Cui Qi."
"Cui Qi?" The lady suddenly looked up and looked at me nervously.
"How...... What's wrong? ”
"Oh, nothing."
The proprietress closed the ledger, then took out a long set of keys from the wine cabinet behind her, and said, "No one has been here in this shop for a long time, and the rooms are quite empty but most of them are not clean, so you shouldn't mind." ”
I waved my hand and said with a smile, "It's okay, there's a place to shelter from the wind and rain and sleep." ”
The two of them stepped onto the second floor one after the other, and when they reached the door of a quaint room, the proprietress took the key and opened the door, and said, "Let's stay here." ”
As she spoke, the proprietress took the key and prepared to open the door. And just as the proprietress was about to open the door, I felt a chill behind me again, as if someone had been following you all along.
Suddenly, I turned around, and saw again the little boy lying on the doorframe, looking at me with his head half exposed. I don't know why, but every time I see this little boy, I feel weird. The proprietress opened the door, and a musty smell of disrepair came to her nose.
"This is the room, there is a TV bathroom and everything, but no one has been here for a long time, so there is inevitably some musty smell in the house."
I nodded slightly and said, "That's good...... How much does it cost to stay in this house for one night? ”
The woman waved her hand and said with a smile, "It's been a long time since there was no popularity here, if you want to stay for one night...... Forget it, let's wait for the third master to come back tomorrow. ”
I nodded, and the lady turned and left.
The facilities in this room are much better than those outside, and at least the appliances that should be there are them. I pushed open the door to the bathroom, and there was a large mirror inside, and the washbasin and rain shower were covered in dust. And in the end, I want this toilet, which also looks very dirty.
Although the conditions here are a little worse, it is a paradise compared to a night in the car.
I lay on the bed, and I didn't rush to undress out of resistance to the strange place, which had not been inhabited for a long time, and I wondered what had been left on the white sheets.
"Liulin Town, this name is quite strange, why haven't I heard of it before."
Just as I took out my phone and was about to search it, I found that there was no signal on my phone in this remote place.
"It's strange, although this place is remote, it's not a deep mountain or old forest, how can there be no signal?"
So I picked up my phone and walked around looking for a signal when I suddenly heard a knock on the door.
"Knock knock...... Knock knock knock ......"
"Who?"
"Oh, the hot water."
I heard the voice of the hostess, so I quickly opened the door.
When the door was opened, I watched the proprietress walk in with a quilt in her hand, and said, "The water pipe on the second floor has broken down these days, so if you want to go to the toilet, go to the first floor." ”
I quickly nodded.
The proprietress skillfully helped me make the bed, and continued, "I live next door, just knock on the wall if there is anything." Also, after all, this place is remote, and if there is nothing to do, don't go out alone at night. ”
I have to say that this proprietress is a bit of a possibility. In just a few minutes, he changed his outfit, the red cheongsam turned blue, and the fork of the cheongsam was just right.
She laid out the sheets, sat down on them, stretched slightly, then looked at me lazily and said, "If it's okay, I'll go, go to bed early." ”
After the proprietress left, I took off my shoes and socks and simply lay on them, and today I laughed all day for the contract, and I fell asleep on the soft bed without much effort.
I don't know how long I slept before I was suddenly woken up by a "knock knock" sound.
