Chapter 154: Staying in the Hotel
"Let's go, I'll take you to see the guest room you are staying in......"
After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he seemed to suddenly remember something, turned his head, looked at Li Changsheng, and said, "That's right...... Your companion seems to be a woman, right? ”
Li Changsheng was stunned, but nodded and said, "Not bad." ”
The shopkeeper frowned and said, "Then how many rooms do you want?" Two rooms? That's going to have to pay more......"
Li Changsheng smiled slightly and said, "One is good." ”
"Oh!" The shopkeeper nodded thoughtfully.
The guest rooms in the small shop are on the second floor, and there are not many guest rooms on the second floor, so there are only four rooms in total. In other words, even if this small shop is full of customers, there are only four rooms.
After all, in the barren mountains, the business of chasing corpses, even if it was prosperous before, there was not as much business as imagined, and there were indeed many villages in the mountains, but not necessarily those who died outside, and their families could afford to hire corpse chasers to drive corpses.
In the past, it was at least something that only those who had a surplus in the village could afford to do.
Moreover, in general, corpse chasers go out day and night, and settle in a small shop, and it is only one night, and there is no long-term residence, so it is enough to prepare four rooms for such a small shop.
It's just that most of the corpses are men, and there are few women accompanying them, so the store will ask for more rooms. After all, the business is sluggish, and Li Changsheng's single business can earn a little more, and the store naturally wants to earn a little more.
The door to the guest room was pushed open, and the sound of "squeak" came out, as if it had awakened the whole night.
The shopkeeper grinned and explained, "It's been a long time, and this house is getting old, so I'm thinking about making it for a few more years...... I won't do it...... You two are going to stay for a while! ”
Li Changsheng nodded and entered the house with Linglong.
Although the room is not big, but there should be, it is also complete, the table is spotless, it seems that this store is idle on weekdays, and the cleaning is very diligent.
There are two small beds in the house, which are enough for Li Changsheng and Linglong to rest.
"After a night's walk, you must be tired too, rest early...... We had a good night's sleep during the day, woke up and let the store cook a good meal, and then we went on the road after eating. Li Changsheng said lightly.
When Linglong heard this, she laughed, walked to the side of the bed, rubbed her legs, and said, "This mountain road is really difficult to walk...... My two old cold legs...... It's going to be unbearable......"
The two of them freshened up for a while, changed into new clothes, and each lay down on his own bed.
After all, in this mountain and forest, the humidity is very heavy, walking down overnight, on the clothes on the body, there is a lot of dew, it has already been wet, if you don't change clothes, it is easy to catch a cold.
The two of them lay down, tossing and turning, but they did not fall asleep.
Outside the house, the sky was already hazy, and the early morning vision penetrated the thick mist and shone into the mountains and forests.
The dappled sunlight jumped on the eaves and windowsills, bits and pieces.
Linglong, this little girl, didn't make any trouble, it seemed that she was tired for a day, and she was not in the mood to make fun of Li Changsheng, so she tossed for a long time and fell asleep.
It was Li Changsheng who never fell asleep.
In fact, he is not tired, and the functions of his body are much better than those of ordinary people, even if he does not sleep for three days and three nights, he will not be too tired.
In his mind, he kept thinking about last night. After all, it's only the first night, and there was a matter of corpse interception, and now there are fewer and fewer people chasing corpses, so it stands to reason that there will be fewer corpse interceptions, why was it the first night that he was so unlucky to meet him?
Although he didn't know who the other party was, Li Changsheng was full of doubts, wondering if he had been targeted since he and Linglong entered this barren mountain.
These forty-nine corpses are not a small number, and if they are intercepted, there is no guarantee that something big will happen.
Thinking about it, outside the room, there was a faint sound of talking.
Although the voice was soft, Li Changsheng could hear it clearly.
It was the voice of the shopkeeper and a few strange men.
"It's weird...... Why are there so many corpses today......" The shopkeeper seemed to mutter.
No, there was another team of corpses outside, led by three middle-aged men, who looked serious and had a sharp light in their eyes.
When there is no business, it will not meet once in ten days and half a month, and as soon as it comes, two businesses come. Although the shopkeeper muttered, he was very happy in his heart, after all, he was going to make money again.
Three middle-aged men, driving five corpses.
If this is placed in ancient times, it is a very rare thing, after all, five corpses, or so many people, generally one corpse chaser is enough, at most one more person. Generally speaking, it is the master who leads the apprentice, so there will be a team of two people. But these five corpses came with three corpse chasers.
The store doesn't care so much, after all, the hotel is based on the head of the house.
"Yo...... It turned out to be Jia Ye! Who else should I be? But I haven't seen you in a while...... I thought you weren't going to do it......" the shopkeeper said with a smile.
Dare to love this store, and actually recognize these three people.
The person known as "Jia Ye" among the three said lightly: "Put these five corpses first...... Store...... You got some to eat...... Then arrange a room. ”
"Okay, good ......" The shopkeeper hurriedly said, and asked again: "Jia Ye some time ago, but where did he go to make a fortune?" I've heard that you haven't been seen in the village. ”
"I have friends in the city who have some problems, and I went over to help for a while, isn't that ...... Something happened to the people in the village, and the village chief specially asked me to bring back this stranger who died in a foreign land, or else...... I'm not going to take on this job...... After all, with the age, this work is too much, which affects longevity. ”
Jia Ye's voice was a little rough and old, but when he spoke, he was full of energy. It can be seen that although he is old, his body is still very tough, and he is better than the average young man. After all, when I was young, I often did this business of driving corpses, and I walked a lot on mountain roads, and my body bones were naturally strong.
"I see...... Good...... Get down to business first, and the corpse just rushes directly to the back room. The shopkeeper said.
After a while, Li Changsheng heard the voices of several people again.
I only heard that Jia Ye seemed to be a little puzzled, and asked, "Are there other corpse chasers?" ”
The shopkeeper grinned, nodded, and said, "I don't know what kind of wind is blowing today, but I actually ran into each other, but ...... These two people, a man and a woman, are both young people, but they are very face-to-face. ”
"Noodle students?" Jia Ye was stunned for a moment.
In the barren mountains, there are not many people who can pick up corpses, and they all know each other.
The shopkeeper said that the noodles were raw, so naturally they were not the original people.
The shopkeeper lowered his voice and said, "Yes...... I hadn't seen these two men before...... But ......"
"But what?" Jia Ye continued to ask.
The shopkeeper said, "But ...... Their work is not small? ”
Jia Ye frowned slightly and said, "What do you mean?" ”
"Two people...... Forty-nine corpses ......" the shopkeeper gestured.
Jia Ye's face suddenly showed a look of surprise.
A corpse chaser who can chase forty-nine corpses at once? And still young people?
Mo said that it is now in this era of recession in the corpse industry, even in ancient times, I have never heard of anyone who has the ability to drive forty-nine dead corpses.
