I looked at Meng Xiang's expression, and I felt nervous.

"Maybe it's a window in this house that's not closed." I'm trying to find a plausible explanation.

Meng Xiang was obviously not convinced, and he didn't dare to go into the room immediately to check the window, but subconsciously glanced to both sides, and smiled at me reluctantly.

"Forget it, it's just a dog, who knows from which hole it got into!" She said.

I knew that she was just arrogant, but I could only smile back and look at the structure of the room.

It is also a typical style of house in a mountain village, and the one in the center is the living room - commonly known as "hall house" in rural people.

The width of the hall is at least 5 meters, and the depth is more than 6 meters.

There are five or six crudely made bamboo and wood chairs at the foot of the walls on both sides, and you will never see this style of chairs in the city.

The rooms on both sides of the hall are divided into bedrooms according to the number of people in the family. Usually there will be one large bedroom and two small bedrooms.

But since Uncle Zhang has transformed the room into a hotel, naturally the more rooms the better.

So I saw that on the walls on both sides of the hall were two simple wooden doors that were made of home, in other words, there were four bedrooms in total.

I pushed the wooden door to my left.

Because there was no spring lock on the wooden door, it was closed tightly, but I pushed it open.

At a glance, I saw that the room was fifteen or sixteen square meters, exactly half the size of the hall.

The furnishings in the room are very simple, a wooden shelf bed with mosquito nets is placed against the wall inside. There is also a small boxy wooden stool, which is placed at the head of the bed at random.

There was indeed a window on the exterior wall, but not only was the window tightly closed, but the window glass was intact.

I closed the door again, and at a glance I saw that at the top of the wooden door, there was a small "1" written in ink.

I turned my face to look at the two rooms opposite, and on the door of the room facing me, there was a "3" written on it, but there was no word on the door of the room opposite me.

"This room without a room number is lived in by Uncle Zhang himself." Meng Xiang probably saw my gaze and explained to me in a timely manner.

"Yuan Wang, they had an accident in this room, right?" I pointed to the door of room 3.

"yes, you guessed it right!" Meng Xiang glanced at me.

Actually, it's not what I guessed, but Bao Luo and Li Zi once told me that they came to Yilinling and lived in room 3.

It was also in Room 3 that they had the same strange dream.

I took a few steps forward and saw a "2" written on the door of the room on the side of me.

In front of the hall is a long wooden table with high stilts placed next to the wall, which the rural people seem to call "offering table".

In the middle of the offering table is a wooden statue of Guanyin.

I suddenly felt that something was wrong, and when I looked closely, my nerves, which had been tense, suddenly relaxed, and I couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

Because I understand why Bao Luo and Li Zi have the same strange dream, I am afraid that the reason is precisely because of this statue of Guanyin.

This statue of Guanyin has eyebrows, nose, mouth, and ears, but there are no carved eyes.

Even where the long eye is, there is not even a little depression.

"What's wrong?" Meng Xiang saw that my expression was different, and walked over to me.

"Look at this statue of Guanyin!"

I picked up the Guanyin statue and handed it directly to Meng Xiang.

"I've seen this a long time ago!" Meng Xiang also laughed with me, "I asked Uncle Zhang, why doesn't this Guanyin have carved eyes?" Uncle Zhang said that he carved it himself, and he really didn't know how to carve his eyes, so he simply left it empty. ”

In fact, I have already seen that the Guanyin statue is crudely made, and it does not look like a handicraft bought with money from outside.

Listening to Meng Xiang's explanation, I just felt funny, and put the Guanyin statue back in its place.

Underneath the offering table, there is also a table of eight immortals.

Other than that, there is no other furniture in the hall. So much so that one of the halls of Nuoda seemed a little empty.

I found that Uncle Zhang lived in the room with a lock on the door, and an iron lock was hung on the lock.

Although it was also just hung on the ground and not locked properly, it was already a reminder to the residents not to enter this room.

On the far right side of the wall next to Uncle Zhang's door, where the offering table is placed, there is a back door.

There is also a wooden door on the rear door. It's just that this wooden door is much tighter and thicker than the four wooden doors in the bedrooms on both sides.

The door is pressed with an iron latch, and at the moment the rod is firmly inserted into the jack.

It's no wonder that Meng Xiang was shocked, at least in my eyes, this house can indeed only be entered and exited through the front door and back door.

Although there were windows in the rooms on both sides of the hall, all the wooden doors were tightly closed at the moment, and even if any of the windows were not closed properly and the black dog jumped in, how could it open the wooden doors and enter the hall and close the wooden doors tightly?

I was uneasy, but I didn't show it on my face, but turned my face to ask Meng Xiang: "Why did Uncle Zhang think of opening such a hotel?" ”

I was really surprised, after all, this house is hidden deep in the mountains, and I am afraid that few people will come to live here all year round.

"I heard that after the fame of the first line of mountains spread, backpackers often go into the mountains to explore, and it just so happens that he is a must-pass place. He was alone, and these houses were empty and empty, and even if only three or five guests came all year round, it would add him an extra income of a few hundred dollars. ”

Meng Xiang's explanation is not unreasonable. A few hundred yuan is nothing in the city, but in this big mountainous area, it is a lot of income.

So instead of dwelling on that, I pulled out the lever on the back door, pulled open the back door and walked out.

It is still the most standard house style for rural people, and the left side is next to the three main houses, and half of the houses are built.

An external latch is attached to the door to prevent it from being blown open by the mountain wind.

Needless to say, I know it's a kitchen.

I walked to the back and found a toilet at the base of the wall on the right side of the house.

The toilets are divided into men and women, and they look quite clean. Presumably it was built later after the hotel was opened for the convenience of guests.

There is a small open space at the back of the house, and a few vegetables are grown in the clearing.

A dozen meters further back, there is a large mountain, the mountain is gentle, and the mountain is full of trees.

Fortunately, the people in the mountains are bold, and if I were to live here alone, the wind would blow the forest in the middle of the night, and it would definitely feel very terrible.

While I was observing my surroundings, Meng Xiang had already opened the kitchen door and started to prepare for dinner.

I followed in and saw that Meng Xiang actually turned out a small piece of bacon and added a few dried wild vegetables.

"Wouldn't it be bad for us to use other people's things casually?" I asked.

"When you leave, give him two hundred dollars here." Meng Xiang replied, instructing me, "You go out with a bucket and go down a hillside to the right, there is a mountain spring there, you pick two buckets of water and come back." ”

Meng Xiang had come here to do research, so he was quite familiar with the surrounding environment.

Although I had never carried water, I saw a pole and two buckets at the base of the kitchen wall, so I honestly picked up the buckets with a pole and went around from the back of the house to the front, and then walked to the hillside on the right.

I don't know why, but as soon as Fang walked down the hill, I felt as if something was staring at me.

When I looked back, I saw a dense forest.
