With Wang Shen's introduction, we walked towards the charity hotel step by step.

Finally walked to the dark door.

These are two big iron gates, but they are black, and I have rarely seen such large black iron doors!

The big iron door was not locked, it was hidden, and I stepped forward and gently pushed it open.

Inside is a small courtyard, this three-story building is a separate courtyard, after walking in, I found that the yard was quiet, there was no sound at all.

And in the middle room on the first floor, the lights are on.

The two of us quietly walked over, and after entering was a bar, which was the place where guests checked in when they stayed at the hotel, but there was no one inside, and there was a welcome sign hanging on it.

Wang Shen's brows furrowed, and he whispered to me. "Why is there no one? Could it be that tonight is the Midyear Festival? None of the guests stayed except for the two of us, right? ”

I also wondered, even if there are no guests staying at the front desk, then there should be someone guarding the front desk.

In addition to the front desk, there is also a sofa opposite, and a coffee table, on which there are two plates of fruit, which are presumably used by guests to fill out the registration information.

It has been more than 10 years since the hotel was built, and the decoration inside is not too good, but the cleaning is very clean.

It can be seen that the owners of this hotel, that is, the old couple, are very hardworking!

"Anyone? Anyone? I watched the hotel carefully and shouted a few times.

I didn't think anyone would answer, but I didn't expect that after I shouted, a side door on the left hand side suddenly creaked open, and a person appeared in the doorway.

It was an old man dressed in black, with gray hair and beard, wrinkled face, and he looked to be sixty or seventy years old.

This old man appeared very suddenly, which startled me and Wang Shen, and what was even more strange was that this old man was carrying a white lantern in one hand.

Wang Shen and I both looked at this old man.

The old man stood there, his lips quirming. "Are you here to stay at the hotel?"

The two of us nodded at the same time. "Yes, we're here to stay, old man, are you the owner of this inn?"

The old man nodded stiffly. "That's right, I'm the owner of this hotel."

The way the old man spoke was very strange, and the white lantern he was carrying in his hand was even more strange.

"Well, when we came in, we found that there was no one here, so we shouted a few times. Old man, we came from other places, we wanted to rush to the city, but it was already dark, we couldn't get there, we could only spend one night here, please make it convenient for the old man, arrange a house for us, and we will not lose a penny of the house money. I said!

The old man stared at the two of us for about a dozen seconds before suddenly turning his head to the bar and shouting at the bar. "Old woman, old woman, there is a guest coming, why don't you say hello?"

We followed his gaze and saw an old lady squatting behind the long, tall table at the bar.

The old lady was squatting there, and in front of her were two bamboo baskets, one containing a pile of yellow paper, and the other containing a stacked gold ingot.

Only then did we know that there was someone at the front desk, but the old lady had been squatting in the back, and we didn't see it.

"Oh, old woman, I'm talking to you, didn't you hear wow, there's a guest in our store, hurry up and say hello." The old man, carrying the white lantern, walked to the back of the bar table and shouted to the old woman.

The old lady may have been hard of hearing, and the old man kept shouting several times before she came back to her senses, raised her head and said. "Oh, it turned out to be a guest, blame my wife for not hearing, just now, just now I just cared about folding paper ingots, besides, today is the Midyear Festival, I think there are no guests to check in."

As she spoke, the old lady stood up and looked up at the two of us.

The old lady's body was a little bloated, but her face was a little pale, and her eyelids were a little blue.

The old lady looked at the two of us and said. "How many floors are the two guests going to live on?" I'm going to open a room for you, by the way, it's your first time staying at our charity hotel, right? I don't see that you are locals, you should be from other places, if you are a local, you will not dare to stay in our hotel on the night of this mid-year festival. ”

As she spoke, the old lady stood up tremblingly, walked to the bar table, picked up the registration book, and handed it to the two of us. "Show me your ID cards so I can make a registration."

"Do you still need an ID card?" Wang Shen said!

"Originally, our place is remote, and no one has come to check, but we also have to register, so as not to say anything badly, so that it is good for you and us."

As she spoke, the old lady pushed the registration book and pen in front of us, obviously trying to make us fill in the ID number and basic information ourselves.

Wang Shen and I had no choice but to take out our ID cards and let the old lady take a few looks, and then we each registered our ID numbers and basic information in the book.

The old lady took out a myopia goggle from the drawer of the bar counter and put it on, carefully read the information we registered, and then returned the ID card to us, nodded and said. "Okay, the information is all registered, it seems to be no problem, I'll open a room for you, our room has three floors, I don't know how many floors you want to live in?"

"Well, let's live on the third floor." I casually said that it doesn't matter how many floors you live on, but if you live on the third floor, it's more convenient for us to live stream.

Because we can't guarantee that if this old couple knew that we were here to broadcast live, would they kick us out?

The old lady nodded, then took out a large bunch of keys from the drawer and said as she rummaged through them. "Except for the last room on the third floor, you can live in the others, so you can choose one at will, just live in 302, which is closest to the stairs!"

The old lady said and handed the keys to 302 to both of us.

I said. "Old man, why can't you live in the last room on the third floor?"

The old lady said. "The last room is for dirty things, and the living can't live in it, okay, don't ask so much, I'll take you to the third floor now. By the way, you have to pay for the room first, our hotel business is not good, the profit is very small, and our old couple lives on this money. ”

"No problem, it's only natural to pay money for staying in the hotel, how much does it cost us to stay for one night?" I asked!

"It's not expensive, it's not expensive, the two of you open a room, 30 yuan a night, the money is not much, I won't take your deposit, just pay the money directly." The old lady said!

I glanced at Wang Shen, 30 yuan a night, it's really cheap enough, and now it's 100 yuan to find a hotel to stay in for a night.

Even if it is a small hotel with very poor conditions, it will cost 100 yuan no matter what, but I didn't expect this charity hotel to only charge 30 yuan for 1 night.

"Old man, why is this hotel so cheap, only 30 yuan a night?" Wang Shen asked, in fact, he asked knowingly, the hotel is haunted, of course you have to charge cheaper, otherwise who will live there?

The old lady said as she lifted her myopic glasses on the bridge of her nose. "It seems that you are really outsiders, you don't know our hotel, we are haunted here, I will tell you directly, so our price is very cheap, no way, it is called a fierce place, if it is expensive again, then there is really no one to live."

While we were talking to the old lady, the old man was standing next to us with the white lantern all the time, his eyes glazed over, like a robot.

I said. "Old man, is our hotel haunted? If it's haunted, why are you telling us? Aren't you afraid we're gone? ”

"Even if I don't tell you, you will know sooner or later, it is no secret that this hotel is haunted in the local area, even some people in other places know about it, so we don't need to hide it, anyway, this is the case, you can live if you want to, and we will not be reluctant if you don't want to live." The old lady was sincere.

"Well, of course we live, you see that we have no place to go in the middle of the night, so we can only live here, and besides, the two of us are strong-blooded, and we are not afraid of any dirty things, let alone ghosts, old lady, you can rest assured." I said!

The old lady nodded. "Well, that's good, in fact, if people don't do bad things, they are not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, although there are dirty things in this world, but if you have justice in your heart, don't think about those messy things, you won't be haunted by ghosts, and you can be safe."

"Young men, although you are not afraid of ghosts, there are some things I have to warn you of, you stay in our hotel at night, do not be afraid of any sound you hear, just let it be as if you have heard nothing, just sleep as you are, and if anyone knocks on the door, do not open the door. There is also a landline phone in your house, after 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, someone may call, ask if you need special services, you just say no, just hang up the phone, remember what I said, and one more point, tonight is different from usual, tonight is the Midyear Festival, after 12 o'clock, the ghost door will be opened, all the dirty things have to run out, and our hotel is more yin, so those dirty things like to gather here, if you have something to ward off evil spirits, that's better, If not, don't worry, we have charms under the beds in our hotel, and those dirty things don't dare to do anything to you, in short, you don't have to be afraid. ”

The old lady spoke in a very slow tone, but she spoke very seriously, with a serious face.

With that, she took the key and walked around the bar. "Let's go, I'll take you upstairs now."

The two of us nodded, and followed the old lady down the stairs towards the third floor, and as soon as we walked up the stairs, the old man, who had been standing there without speaking, suddenly shouted at the top of his voice. "Old woman, you must arrange the two guests, and there must be no omissions."

The old lady said as she walked up the stairs. "I know, I know, I say this every night, what's the annoyance? Of course I will arrange the guests. ”

I glanced back at the old man, and found that a fierce light flashed in his eyes, staring straight at me and Wang Shen, at that moment, my heart couldn't help but tremble.

An old man who is over the age of sixteen should be very kind, and there will be a fierce light in his eyes, which seems to be a little wrong, and the white lantern in the old man's hand always makes me feel a little wrong.

I asked as I walked up the stairs. "Old man, what are you doing just now squatting behind the bar and stacking ingots?"
