I went to the bathroom and washed my face briefly, and lay down on the bed.

It's a lie to say that I'm not tired, as soon as I lay down, I felt sleepy and soon fell asleep.

The town is quiet at night, and although it is on the street, there are no large vehicles on the street, and there are almost no pedestrians moving around, so the ears are much cleaner.

I slept soundly for I don't know how long I heard a sound in my ears.

The sound seemed to come from the hallway, like footsteps.

At first, I thought it was someone else walking around. But dimly, I felt that the footsteps stopped when they reached the door of our room.

Human sensations are sometimes wonderful, and even though I am asleep, my body's senses can accurately capture such a strange situation.

I snapped my eyes open, my sleepiness quickly fading, and I listened.

But when I listened closely, it seemed that the footsteps were gone. The hallway was dead silent again.

Now there is a dead silence in all directions, but this silence seems to be a little wrong. It shouldn't be so quiet, at least...... You should hear my third uncle's snoring?

Among the people who lived with me, my third uncle's snoring was the second. The first one is the dead fat man and the fat sea, and the third uncle should be in second place if he is willing to admit it. The two of them definitely have a fight, although it is not as loud as the fat man, but they have their own characteristics and different rhythms.

It's just that the third uncle will never admit that he snores, he always says that cultivators, when the qi enters the body, when sleeping and ventilating, will also naturally discharge the waste gas in the body. Snoring is a sign of poor exhaust for people like us who don't cultivate, and it shouldn't happen to him.

I also had a fight with him because of this, and I said that he usually drinks and meat, and it is not a practice at all, and he has long since lost his pure qi into his body.

For this reason, the third uncle was in a hurry with me.

So today, my ears are so clear that I feel that something is wrong.

At this time, the room was pitch black, but it was surprisingly quiet. I hurriedly jumped out of bed to the floor, fumbled for the switch, and turned on the lights in the room.

I looked at the third uncle's bed first.

As I expected, his bedding was scattered on the bed, but there was no one on it. I leaned over and reached out to touch the futon, which still had the residual warmth of the third uncle.

My brain buzzed, and it wasn't the first time he'd gone missing from me. The third uncle is more conceited, and he likes to make his own decisions when he encounters anything. But every time, he would make a lot of trouble.

As soon as we arrived in Saltwater Town, he made such a play, which made me scold him in my heart.

But after a while, I forced myself to calm down and analyze whether the footsteps I heard just now were from the third uncle?

When I think about this, my heart suddenly brightens. It must be like this, this guy from the third uncle went to the boss lady behind my back, right?

If that's the case, then he's an eye-opener for me.

I hurriedly put on my shoes, put on my clothes, walked gently to the door, and pushed the door open a crack.

There was a dim light in the hallway, but no one was moving. I walked softly out the door and down the hallway

To the stairs, I followed the stairs to the first floor.

As soon as I got to the first floor, I heard the sound of the night wind outside.

When I was on the second floor, I heard the silence outside. I just walked to the first floor, but I found that it was windy outside.

The wind blew the two doors of the inn with a loud noise. There was a latch on the inside of the door, but the wind seemed to blow it open.

Curiously, there is no light on this floor, but on the counter, a candle is lit.

The candle was very thick, the thickness of a rolling pin, and the flame on it burned so vigorously that it was blown by the wind that came through the crack in the door. The light and shadow in the room were also confused by the candle.

I was thrilled, the scene was a little weird, and I couldn't help but get goosebumps.

But I shook my head again, I'm also neurotic now, and I think about it everywhere I go. Maybe the lady lit the candle in order to save some money. After all, my third uncle and I came to this store, and we didn't see a second group of customers except ourselves.

I walked to the counter, only to find that there was no one inside. Not only is the third uncle gone, but even the proprietress is gone.

I listened intently, and in addition to the sound of the wind outside, I also heard a strange sound.

The sound didn't come from the hall, it seemed to be coming from the other direction.

I turned my head and found a door in a corner of the hall, which was hidden.

Since this is my first time here, I don't know what is behind the door.

But now that the third uncle is missing, I can only touch it and take a look. If the third uncle took the initiative to come over, it would be fine, but I was worried that it was like last time, the third uncle was confused by the sound of the flute and passively left our room.

If you think about it, it's not impossible. We came to this saltwater town in the footsteps of Liang Yue. Since Liang Yue and Lao Xiao have already encountered trouble, no one can conclude that there is nothing strange in this saltwater town.

Judging by the direction of the door, it should lead to the back room or backyard of the inn.

Through the crack in the hidden door, I could feel a cool breeze blowing. It was as if behind the door was not a room, but to the outside. So I judged that behind the door of this house should be the backyard of this hotel.

Fearing that I would be abrupt or misjudged, I stood at the door and coughed softly and asked in a low voice, "Is there anyone?" ”

Except for the wind, I didn't hear anything that responded to me.

I asked three times in a row, but there was still no answer. The proprietress seemed to have closed the door as if she had only received a group of us.

I had a bad feeling that we weren't going to be living in a black shop, were we?

Since there was no answer, I had the courage to push the door open.

As soon as the door opened, a louder cold wind swept in the cold. I couldn't help but shiver, and I didn't wear that down padded jacket on my body.

Outside is really to the backyard of this hotel, a round of moon in the sky is bright, the yard is growing some flowers and plants, it seems that no one takes care of it, it looks crooked, ginseng

It's not about the same.

Beneath your feet, a stone-paved path stretches forward.

I was standing on the path and heard a rhythmic sound coming from ahead. The sound rumbled and rumbled. It's as if something is rubbing against each other.

At this time, I didn't just want to find the third uncle in my heart. I'm also curious, in the middle of the night, Sister Hua is not looking at the store in front, what will she do in the back?

I walked along the stone path, step by step. The cold wind blew, and I shivered a few times in a row, and my teeth froze.
