Chapter 20: The Mystery Room
The soft glow in the sky dimmed, from purple red to crimson, and after a while it turned into light red, and the range of the glow continued to shrink, from the winged goshawk to the elegant satin, slowly, shrunk into a line, and then retreated into a point, and finally dissipated, the glow hid its figure, and the sky revealed a solemn night, and it was dark.
Xu Cheng and I walked to a nearby hostel, and the guys in the inn came over to greet us politely, "It's so late, are the two guest officers here to live?" Would you like to have some snacks first? ”
"Bring up all the good food and drink in your house."
"Okay!"
"Open me two of the best rooms first, and then help us carry our luggage." Xu Cheng took out a handful of high-quality shellfish coins and handed it to the young man, "By the way, help our horses feed well, and feed them with the best forage you have here!" "Xu Cheng rode the horse is the "chasing clouds and snow" given to him by King Wu, this is really a good horse, I have changed three or four horses along the way, and his horse is still full of energy.
The wine and food were all served, and a table full of wine was placed, Xu Cheng raised the wine full of wine, "Brother wife, let's drink well tonight, after working hard for so long, we finally have a chance to rest completely." ”
"You'd better not drink, you're not in good health, plus this rush, I'm worried that you won't be able to stand drinking anymore, what's wrong with you, how can I explain to Sui'er?"
"I'm almost in good health, you see how good my spirits are along the way. Come on, come on, drink one. ”
We ate until midnight, we didn't eat much, but we drank a lot of wine. I suddenly remembered that on the first day I took Sui'er to dinner, I would have drunk at that time, otherwise I would have been drunk by him tonight.
I helped Xu Cheng, who was already unconscious, to the room, and I was about to go to my room after placing him, when I suddenly heard a strange sound, like someone was chanting some strange spell, and like someone was crying in a low voice. I decided to find out.
I followed the sound to a room, the appearance of this room is a little strange, the other rooms whether it is the number of heaven, the number of the earth, the number of people or the shop, the door is all vermilion, and the door of this room is black at first glance, but through the sparse moonlight, I found that the color of this door is red, like the color of the congealed blood, blood red, this color burst out in my mind.
I couldn't help but put my nose close to the door and smell a pungent smell, no wonder I had just vaguely smelled something, it turned out that the smell came from this door. No, I leaned in a little closer, and through the crack in the door, I could smell something more pungent, it was a mixture, and I could smell blood.
Someone inside was chanting some incantation, and the voice was low, but it was very penetrating. I wanted to hear what the people inside were talking about, so I reached forward again and leaned lightly against the door.
Suddenly, there was no movement, and there was a dead silence. Then, there was the sound of footsteps inside, and as I walked towards the door, I immediately got up and ran back to my room. I smelled the same strange smell on my clothes, so I took off my clothes, and my right sleeve still felt slimy to the touch, I must have rubbed against the door, what was going on in the room? I couldn't figure it out......
When I woke up the next day, it was almost noon, I pushed open Xu Cheng's door, he was still asleep, maybe the wine was not over yet, I gently closed the door again. I followed last night's route to see the mysterious room again, all the way to the past, but I didn't find it, it was really strange, I wondered if last night's experience was in a dream, but the smell and sound made me remember it vividly, and the slimy thing on the clothes I changed, the more I thought about it, the more strange I felt.
I walked out of the inn to get some fresh air and clear my mind.
"Huh? Why doesn't your inn have a name? "I occasionally looked up and saw that the inn didn't have a plaque with the name of the inn.
The young man in the inn replied, "The name is all false, what do you want it for?" ”
I was even more curious: "If you don't indicate the name, who knows this is an inn?" ”
"Do you know that there are still guests coming? Besides, our inn is only open to people who are destined, and the people who come to our inn are people who are destined for us! After saying that, the young man showed a very strange smile.
Destined for someone? Is opening an inn or only open to those who are destined? I couldn't figure it out even more.
Suddenly it was pouring outside......
I walked to Xu Cheng's house, he had already gotten up, "Brother wife, let's hurry back, I want to see them soon." ”
"I can't go anyway now."
"Why?"
"Look out the window."
Xu Cheng looked out from the window lattice, "My God, why is it raining so heavily?" No wonder I just heard a loud noise, I thought someone was setting off the cannonballs. It seems that I can't get away today, and the rain is so heavy that it's hard to say when it will stop. ”
The two of us were going to lunch, "As always, all the good food and drink come up." Xu Cheng said.
After setting up a full table again, I found that there were only two guests in this inn, me and Xu Cheng, and I didn't see any other guests from last night to now. "Why do you have so few guests?" I couldn't help but ask the guy at the inn.
"Our inn is only open to those who are destined." The young man replied with a smile, but this smile seemed abnormal, probably because of my psychology.
While he was talking, a man ran in, wearing short clothes, long pants, and leather boots on his feet, his whole body was soaked, dripping from head to toe, "I'm looking for your boss!" Take me to your boss! This sentence was almost roared, and my whole body was trembling, and I didn't know whether it was cold or nervous, or frightened.
The young man pointed him in the direction, and the man immediately ran over, and the direction he ran in was the direction in which I found the mysterious room last night, and I immediately got up and followed, but I didn't see the person, and I didn't see the mysterious room, I didn't smell the pungent smell, I didn't hear the sound of chanting incantations, it was really strange, I had to go back to the dinner table.
"Brother wife, what did you just do?"
"Didn't do anything. Come on, come on, drink! "I prevaricated.
The rain is a little lighter......
