"Lin Tian, thank you, if it weren't for you, it would be troublesome for us to walk at night. Julie thanked her.
"No, the road here is really difficult to walk, the fog is so developed, can't you build a hardened road to the town?" Lin Tian was puzzled.
In China, there are very few such cases, and cement hardened roads have even been connected to every village, and in England, there is no hardened road in even a town, which is unimaginable to outsiders.
However, the concept of town in England seems to be different, and the town here is not much bigger than a village in Huaxia.
Xiao Manxue, who is also from China, naturally has a deep feeling, she explained: "The density of villages and towns in China is very small, and the distance between villages and towns is very small, so it is very cost-effective to build hardened roads, but in England it is different, and it is impossible to build a separate road for the sake of Solinburg." ”
"Okay, don't talk about that, Julie, you find a hotel, let's find a place to stay first. Xiao Manxue instructed Zhu Li.
Zhu Li drove the car and drove on the streets of the town, Lin Tian looked out of the car, and felt very strange, because the streets outside were too quiet, there were no pedestrians on the road, and the shops were closed.
Others also noticed the anomaly in the town and opened their car windows to look. At five o'clock in the afternoon, it should be the most lively time in the town, those who get off work get off work, and those who go to the street to buy groceries, but the situation in front of them is just the opposite, and everyone is closed.
Xiao Manxue picked up the intercom on the car and said to the car behind: "Everyone, please note that the situation in the town is a little abnormal, don't leave the team casually, and don't act alone." ”
"Senior sister, here, this is the Maple Leaf Hotel, which is the largest hotel in the town. Zhu Li parked her car in front of a five-story building and explained.
Lin Tian got to the car and saw a painted wooden pillar standing in front of the hotel, and a wooden sign hung on it, and on the wooden sign was the name of the hotel: Maple Leaf Hotel, a very poetic name.
But the anger here is not poetic at all, a black crow stands on a wooden sign, sees someone coming in, squeals a few times, and flies away.
The crow is a bird that is not popular anywhere or in any country because it is considered a symbol of bad luck. And the reason for its unknown is because of the legend that crows like to eat the flesh of the dead, accompanied by death and evil.
The team members obviously believed in such legends, and the strange scene on the street just now made everyone's spirits tense.
"The door of the hostel was also closed, I went to knock to see if there was anyone. Julie said, walking towards the door and knocking on the door panel a few times.
"Bang ......"
The knock on the door echoed in the silent street, as if knocking on everyone's heart, and the expressions of the team members became more solemn.
With a "squeak...... the door slowly opened, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone through the crack in the door and into the hotel, which was very dim and difficult to see.
When the door was fully opened, an old woman appeared in front of everyone, with her hair half-bent, her hair gray, her face wrinkled, her eyes a little cloudy, and a pair of reading glasses hanging on it.
In such a street, in this case, it was an old woman who opened the door, and everyone naturally thought of the legendary old witches who fiddled with strange crystal balls.
"I ...... We want accommodation. Zhu Li didn't come back to her senses for a moment, and said with a little stammer.
"Okay, let's come in at the accommodation, Solimburg is too small, and it is rare to see so many tourists coming at once. The old woman said with a smile and enthusiasm.
It's just that because of the wrinkles on the face, this smile is a little oozing, but the team members are the elites who have been screened out, and after the initial distraction, they quickly calmed down, carried their backpacks, and walked into the hotel.
The first floor of the inn is the hall, the old woman turned on the light, the hall is brighter, the old woman walked to the counter, and asked slowly, "How many rooms do you want to open?"
Zhu Li looked at Xiao Manxue and asked with her eyes, Xiao Manxue stepped forward and said: "For the sake of safety, everyone can't be alone, two people live in each room and take care of each other." ”
Naturally, no one objected to this, and after Xiao Manxue finished explaining, she turned to the old woman and said, "Old woman, we need seven rooms, and it is best to have the same room on the same floor." ”
"The inns here are relatively small, and there are not enough rooms for seven rooms on the first floor, so I will open you three rooms on the second floor and four rooms on the third floor, so is that good?" asked the old woman.
"No problem. Xiao Manxue nodded.
After completing the formalities and getting the room card, Xiao Manxue issued them to the team members one by one, asking them to go up and settle down first, but she stayed.
If she didn't leave, Lin Tian and Rosie naturally stayed, and Zhu Li, as an assistant and guide, also stayed.
"Girl, is there anything else you need?" asked the old woman.
Xiao Manxue introduced: "My surname is Xiao, I don't know what the old woman is called?"
"Everybody calls me Mrs. Mary, and you can call me that. The old woman replied very accommodatingly.
"Mrs. Mary, I have a question for you, when we entered the town just now, there was no one on the streets, and the shops were closed, could it be that something happened in the town?" Xiao Manxue asked directly.
Lin Tian and the others also looked at the old lady, who knows, but the old lady Mary laughed: "Hehe, young man, it scares you, in fact, it is because tomorrow is the annual lavender festival in the town, and all the shops will be closed in these two days, and everyone will gather in the east of the town to prepare for the festival, which is a grand event in the town, and everyone attaches great importance to it." ”
"Lavender Festival?" Lin Tian and the others were stunned for a moment, this answer was too unexpected, it turned out that the whole town had stopped business and was preparing for the festival.
Among the traditional festivals in England, there is no such festival as lavender festival, and it is clear that lavender festival is local.
Mrs. Mary said enthusiastically, "You have come just in time, you can go to this festival tomorrow, and at the festival rally, if the young people have lovers, they must be attended by two, and if there are no lovers, it does not matter, because there will be matching activities at the rally." ”
"What is a matchmaking event?" asked Julie curiously.
"Matchmaking is when young men and women get together, and if you have a crush on a girl and that girl has a crush on you, and you happen to be single, then the young man and woman can develop a relationship. If the relationship is successful, the townspeople will hold a grand wedding for them at next year's Lavender Festival, sending them sincere blessings. Mrs. Mary said with a smile.
"Isn't this a group blind date activity? We also have it in Huaxia, and it is also a group blind date activity for mountain songs. Lin Tian was surprised, this sentence was said to the eldest lady in Chinese.
