Chapter 20: The Wind and Cloud Inn
As the saying goes: Blessings are incomparable, and disasters are not singular.
Wang Xu's recent days are a good testimony to this sentence.
He told Master Mao about Ding Yao's attempted murder, but the other party's reaction was only one word: "Oh." β
In fact, it's right, on the one hand, because this guy never takes others seriously, and there are too many people who want to kill him, as the so-called debts are not worried, it doesn't matter if there is one more Ding Yao.
But the cat master found something for Wang Xu to do, and asked him to take his foreign apprentice Elbert to carry out the first mission.
"What a mess, inn? Is there still an inn in these years? Wang Xu was a little puzzled.
Mao Ye still said in a tone of lesson: "Of course there is, so you young people don't care about social news and current affairs, which has been very popular in the past two years." Those hotels and guesthouses are for tour groups, and people who really know how to play are now staying in guest houses. β
Wang Xu said disdainfully: "Cut ...... I don't know? I don't want to know it, today's people, if they have nothing to do, they like to engage in some so-called petty bourgeoisie, they don't live in a good hotel, and they go to live in the inns of the ancients, so they are not afraid of being bitten by mosquitoes in summer. Or just sit in the coffee shop alone, order a cup of coffee for half a month's food expenses, and then sigh there all afternoon and pretend to be depressed. β
The cat master seemed to be interested: "Hehe...... It's rare for you to make some insightful remarks. β
"That's ...... Otaku are very insightful! And not pretentious! β
Elbert, who was sitting next to him, knew that if the two of them chatted, it was estimated that they would not be able to get back to the point for a long time, so he quickly stopped them: "Two, let's talk about this mission." β
So the cat master once again gave full play to his ability to simplify complex events: "Oh, it's actually nothing, it's just that a few guests who have been staying there have died bizarrely, it is estimated that it is a lonely ghost or something, you can go tonight, and it can be basically solved by staying for a weekend." β
Elbert really believed it: "Okay, I see. β
Wang Xu looked at him and said five words: "You understand a fart......
Elbert Chinese is average, and he does not understand the subtext of this sentence very well, so he looked at Wang Xu with inquiring eyes.
Wang Xu said again: "I'll give you the first lesson now, that is, you must not believe what the cat master said, you can only believe three points, and the remaining seven points are basically very serious things, all of which have been concealed by him, if you don't plan for the worst, it will be certain that he will be yin......"
The cat master listened to it next to him and nodded: "It seems that you have indeed grown a lot." β
"If you don't grow up, sooner or later you will be played to death......"
β¦β¦β¦β¦
That night, Wang Xu and the others came to the "Fengyun Inn" located on the outskirts of S City.
There are mountains, rivers and forests near this place, although the mountains are not high, the water is not deep, the forest is not dense, but it was originally intended to be developed into a tourist area, but the development was stopped halfway, to put it nicely, there are some contradictions between investors, construction units and municipal governments that cannot be coordinated, and to put it more bluntly, it can be summarized as "uneven distribution of spoils".
All in all, the project was stopped, the relevant departments left it alone, and in the end it was some private entrepreneurs who suffered, such as those who opened hotels, opened restaurants, and several supermarket chains, and paid the rent and built houses.
In the end, some shrewd person came up with a way to invest in a large amusement park in the vicinity, which saved many people at once.
S City is a city that is transforming from industry to business, such a city is expensive, there is no possibility of a large amusement park in the city, and even a carnival is at most once a year, so although this place is not as good as Disney, it is not without business.
It happened to be Friday, although a few people had died in this inn recently, and the newspapers had been published, but it still didn't affect the business much.
"Only two rooms?" Wang Xu leaned in front of the "shopkeeper" in front of the counter again.
"I said guest officer, it's useless for you to stare at me wide-eyed, there are really only two private rooms."
Wang Xu asked this for the third time, so he wasn't going to ask for the fourth time, he looked back at Elbert and Yanli: "Hear it, hahahaha!" Hear me! I said, Senior Sister Yan, you should go back now, right? β
Yan Li snorted coldly: "You don't need to say it, I'll live here today, don't want to drive me away." β
Elbert looked at the two of them who were a little tense, and decided to make a round: "Brother Wang, let's squeeze the two of us, and it is also appropriate to be humble to the lady." β
"Squeeze what? Both rooms are single rooms, and when you lie on the bed in a German tank, where do I sleep? Do you want to get along with me? β
Elbert was speechless by him, yes, let's be bored with ourselves, shut up.
When Wang Xu said this, his face suddenly changed, revealing a very evil smile: "Senior Sister Yan, it's okay if you have to stay, I think, it's better for the two of us to sleep together......" This is one of Wang Xu's killing moves, playing hooligan, in fact, to be pretending to be a hooligan, because he doesn't dare to do anything in nature...... But today he met an opponent, and Yan Li was not afraid of him at all.
"Okay, let's get the key." Yan Li still looked calm, took out her ID card from her wallet and handed it to the shopkeeper.
Elbert was shocked by this scene, but after a few seconds he returned to normal, to say that the foreigner's mind is more open, he patted Wang Xu on the shoulder, showed a smile that a man understands, and then took his key upstairs, this move in the shopkeeper's eyes is not to be a light bulb, but Wang Xu's real thoughts now are ...... I fell into a very embarrassing situation.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Ten minutes later, Wang Xu and Yan Li sat in the same room.
This room looks like a wooden structure, but in fact there is concrete behind the wooden panels, and there are glass interlayers in the papier-mΓ’chΓ© windows......
The furniture in the room basically follows this route, and it is really painstaking to say that this inn is really painstaking, not only to let you have the mood and illusion of living in ancient times, but also to let you enjoy the comfort of a modern hotel.
After a long silence, Wang Xu spoke first: "I think the sound insulation effect here is also good...... "He seemed to be hinting at something.
"So what?" Yan Li still didn't eat him.
"Do you know that I like to sleep naked?" Wang Xu still didn't give up.
"Oh? Then why do you say that you sleep in pajamas when I hypnotize you? β
"Damn! You're even asking that kind of question! It's so tasteless! β
Yan Li's expression was always unfazed: "Actually, I didn't ask, just to see if you were lying." β
Wang Xu was speechless by her for a while, so a new round of silence began.
And so it went on for a long time.
"I'm telling you very seriously and solemnly now that Elbert and I are not here to play, this is a mission, it is very dangerous, and it is very likely that both me and him will die, so you should not come with you at all."
"Master Mao has already told me this, I am an adult, I can be responsible for my own behavior, and I have the obligation to take care of my experimental materials."
"Do you know that your wayward behavior is likely to drag us down, and do you know that you yourself are also likely to have an accident?"
Yan Li stared into his eyes, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't say it.
Wang Xu sighed and left with his luggage, but in the end he could only go and squeeze into a room with the German tank.
Yan Li watched Wang Xu's back disappear at the door, and she whispered the unspoken words: "If it's another you, he will definitely be able to protect me." β
