"At the beginning, Bifang Island was quite lively, and it was indeed able to maintain the livelihood of the remaining fishermen. Later, however, communication between these migrants and the outside world gradually became cut off. When my father and I arrived on Bifang Island, there were very few descendants left. ”

"At that time, I was in my 40s, and there was a lot of development and construction going on in the city, and because our family had been running a hotel for generations, we thought about opening a hotel here after hearing that this Bifang Island was going to open an open recruitment for operators."

"My father and I believed that the lake would one day be developed into a tourist destination, and that there might be parks, amusement parks, and other facilities to attract tourists. In this way, the hotel business will be booming. ”

"But this is only the superficial reason, in fact, our hotel in the city has failed, our relatives have gone to other places, my father has reached retirement age, and I have no ability to find a suitable job, so I decided to try my luck here."

After Lao Nuo opened the chatterbox, he began to babble non-stop, Xie Yunmeng saw the stitches and asked, "How old are you this year?" ”

"Sixty-seven years old." Lao Nuo said.

"Then when you were in your 40s, you must have been fifteen or sixteen years ago! In other words, your hotel has been open here for more than ten years, don't you want to go back to the city to live at all? It's a fast-changing place with a lot of business opportunities! ”

"I don't want to, I'm used to it here, you see my age, and I don't have children, so I don't have much energy to go to the city to fight again. It's better to stay here and retire. Besides, our main business now is not a hotel business, but the sale of umbrellas. The reason why the bow of the boat you and Mr. Yun just saw was made in the shape of an umbrella is to promote our own production of Chongming lantern umbrellas. ”

"Heavy light umbrella? What a strange name, why is it called that? Does it have the same meaning as Bifang Island? Xie Yunmeng continued to ask, Yun Yeyao has been in the bathroom for a while, this guy is always slow to do things, Xie Yunmeng didn't urge, he leaned against the side wall of the east counter, and continued to listen to Lao Nuo answer his questions.

Lao Nuo handed Xie Yunmeng a brochure and said: "The reason and meaning of naming the umbrella are written on this, you can take a look at it when you have time, I will help everyone later, you and Mr. Yun will go here first to walk around." The first three rooms on the second floor from east to west are empty, you can choose whichever room you want, and don't knock on the door of the fourth room, because there is a patient inside. ”

"But don't worry, it's not a contagious disease, it's an old man who has been working here, and her nature is similar to mine, and she has no children or daughters, so now I take care of her. The last two rooms are occupied by guests who just arrived today, and if you want to say hello, you can talk to the waiter and ask the waiter to knock on the door. ”

"Thank you, Uncle Li, you go and get busy, I'll wait for Xiao Yao here alone." Although Xie Yunmeng said this, he was still a little curious about Lao Nuo's sudden evasive attitude, and his eyes were browsing the brochure, deliberately not looking at Lao Nuo's expression.

After a while, Lao Nuo finished cleaning up and walked out of the door of the hotel, Xie Yunmeng heard the footsteps and glanced in the direction of the kitchen, Yun Yeyao was holding a white towel at this time, wiping his hands, and walked in his direction. Xie Yunmeng asked, "Why does it take so much time for you to wash your hands?" ”

Yun Yeyao just looked at the watch on his wrist and said to Xie Yunmeng: "But it's only seven or eight minutes, which is not a long time!" What did you talk about with Uncle Lee? ”

"It's nothing, just a little small talk, Uncle Li said that there are three rooms upstairs that are empty, let's pick them ourselves, let's go, I'll go up with you."

"Okay." Yun Yeyao replied, and immediately trotted to keep up with Xie Yunmeng's footsteps.

Let them go upstairs to see the room, the location of this hotel we need to revisit. From the outside, both the island and the inn are rectangular, with the two ends of the island located on the east and west sides, and the wide two ends on the south and north sides. The pier where Xie Yunmeng and Yun Yeyao came up is located in the southwest of Bifang Island.

Once on the island, walk east from the west side, the inn occupies about 1/5 of the entire east side, the door of the hotel faces west, and the bathroom and kitchen are behind it, that is, next to the eastern edge of Bifang Island.

Inside, instead of the second-floor guest room, you will be facing the east counter and a narrow walkway leading to the kitchen and bathroom. You have to turn to the left to see the staircase that allows four or five people to walk side by side, and the six rooms above, which are arranged in an east-west orientation, with the doors all facing south, and the windows and balconies facing north.

After Yun Yeyao and Xie Yunmeng went upstairs, they first came to the first room in the easternmost part, and the door key was inserted in the lock hole. Mr. Detective pulled his good friend and opened the door directly and walked in. No sooner had they stepped into the room than they could see anything before a strong gust of wind, accompanied by a large amount of fresh air, blew into the nostrils and mouths of the two men.

Yun Yeyao covered his face with his hand and asked, "Why is the wind in the room so strong?" And there is a fishy smell. ”

Xie Yunmeng didn't answer, he took a few steps closer against the wind, glanced at it and said, "The windows inside are not closed, but it's really strange, the room here is not big, but there are two floor-to-ceiling windows on the opposite side, which look almost like the walls, no wonder the wind is so strong." ”

"Really? I'll take a look too. Yun Yeyao immediately ran with Xie Yunmeng, and the two of them came to the front of the floor-to-ceiling window, only to find that there was no glass on the window, but two wooden windows that opened outward. The wooden windows appear to be fully enclosed, with black slits on them, and when tightly closed, it is impossible for a single ray of sunlight to let in.

On both sides of the window frame, there is a lever and a rope, and Yun Yeyao leaned half of his body out of the window to see a small balcony with a guardrail. He pulled the two wooden windows back and closed them, then rotated the lever inward. The gap in the wooden window was like a shutter, slowly tilting upwards to open.

This was an interesting setup, so Yun Yeyao pulled the rope again, and sure enough, all the narrow planks that were connected together immediately changed to an angle, exactly like the plastic blinds in the city.

Yun Yeyao seems to be very interested in the window, and keeps fiddling with the wooden blinds, don't look at the blinds are very heavy, but they are very easy to pull, and Mr. Actor has a lot of fun, like a child.

Xie Yunmeng didn't care about him, he walked around the room by himself, the walls and floor of the room were kept in the original color of cement, there was a single bed, a desk and a chair with a backrest, there was no sofa, and there was a huge water dispenser in the south corner, and the bucket on it should be several times the size of the ordinary people in the city.

The futon pillows on the single bed were very clean, all of them were gray, Xie Yunmeng lowered his head and smelled it, there was no fishy smell on the bedding, the fishy smell just now should have been brought in with the wind outside the window. It is not stained on the quilt, which means that the bedding here is changed and washed every day.

He turned his gaze to the water dispenser again and asked Yun Yeyao, "What kind of water did you use to wash your hands in the bathroom just now?" ”

Yun Yeyao said: "There are large tanks filled with water in the kitchen and bathroom, and the water in them is very clear, and I saw the waiter scooping water out of it to wash vegetables, so I followed her example and scooped a scoop of water, poured it into the basin and washed my hands and face." There is definitely no running water here, I guess the drinking water is brought in from outside, and as for domestic water, I think they should have a small filtration equipment to filter the lake water to use.

"It's similar to what I guessed," Xie Yunmeng nodded in agreement, and then asked, "Xiao Yao, are you hungry?" I don't know if anyone here has had dinner? I remember I still have some food in my backpack, so you can pad your stomach first, and when I'm settled, I'll go to the kitchen and ask. As he spoke, Xie Yunmeng put down the backpack he was carrying, the two of them didn't have much luggage, all of them were in this backpack.

"I'm not hungry, I ate a lot of snacks when I was in the downtown area just now, and now my stomach is still panicking! I guess wait a minute, Uncle Lee, they'll definitely prepare a late-night snack. Yun Yeyao looked back and said, his face was a mixture of excitement and joy, and he was slightly flushed, and he looked very beautiful. Xie Yunmeng was stunned for a while, if his friend was a girl, the criminal police thought that he would like it very much, and that little face always made people can't help but take a few more looks.

Of course, this is just a fleeting thought, and it is impossible for Yun Yeyao to know. Xie Yunmeng asked him, "How do you know that Uncle Li will definitely prepare a supper?" ”

"Because there are so many workers busy outside, I estimate that by the end of the show, it will be midnight, and it is impossible to have no supper. Xiao Meng, I think you should take out the contents of your backpack and pad your stomach first, you didn't eat anything just now. ”

"I don't like bread and stuff, and since there's a late-night snack, I'll just wait, and I'm not very hungry right now." Xie Yunmeng sat on the edge of the bed, looked at the actor standing in front of the window and said.

"Xiao Meng, that's not good for your stomach."

"It's okay, it's not that I've never been hungry, when I work with my teacher, all kinds of situations happen. A few hungry meals are just a trifle. Xie Yunmeng told the truth.

Yun Ye Yao approached him and asked, "Who is your teacher?" I've never seen it before, tell me my name. ”

"Teacher, he doesn't like men who are too weak, and when you are as strong as me, I will tell you the teacher's name."

"What!" Yun Yeyao was a little angry when he heard such an answer, turned around and said angrily: "I don't want to be as strong as you, fans don't like muscular men!" Xiao Meng, do you like me to be like that? ”

When the last sentence was asked, Yun Yeyao secretly glanced back at Xie Yunmeng, he looked very cute, no one would have expected that the 1.8-meter-8 actor who was usually in a good position would be so cute and cute in front of Xie Yunmeng. If it is really seen by fans, it is estimated that it is time to re-establish the perception of idols.

Xie Yunmeng didn't answer Yun Yeyao's question, he raised his head and imagined Yun Yeyao turning into a muscular man, and suddenly he shivered all over, and immediately packed this idea and threw it out of the clouds, which really didn't feel very good.

Yun Yeyao waited for a while, and continued: "Xiao Meng, there is nothing to see in this room, or let's go next door." ”

"Forget it, I estimate that every room is about the same, you better rest for a while, and I'll go and tell Uncle Li later, we'll live in this one."

"If the two of us live in one room, won't the boss think it's weird?" Yun Yeyao asked.

"What's so strange? Didn't we often stay in one room when we used to hang out? Do you remember when you were at school, there were only two of us in the same dormitory, or the upper bunk and the lower bunk, and if it was strange, the dormitory teacher should not be surprised to death. Xie Yunmeng said indifferently, Mr. Criminal Police seemed to think that it was normal to meet the little actor, and he didn't care about other people's eyes at all.

But Yun Yeyao still felt that something was wrong, he said: "The school is assigned to our dormitory, but this is different outside, and there is only one single bed in this room, how can the two of us live!" ”

"It's okay, I'll ask Uncle Li later, and if he agrees, I'll go to the next room and move a bed. You should be able to fit two beds here, no problem. ”

"Oh well! I'll do whatever you want. Although Yun Yeyao said indifferently, as soon as he avoided Xie Yunmeng's sight, the corners of his mouth immediately raised, and being with Xiao Meng always made him very happy, but the only thing missing was that Xiao Meng had another person in his heart.
