Volume 3 The First One in Northern Hebei_Chapter 41 Strange Landlord
Because what happened last night was so weird, the sudden knock on the door startled all three of us.
After Jin Dianlong came back to his senses, he felt funny again, and while walking out, he asked angrily, "Who, early in the morning, don't let people sleep well!" ”
It was the landlord who knocked on the door.
After Jin Dianlong opened the door, she looked into the door, intentionally or unintentionally, quickly glanced at the room, and then asked Jin Dianlong, "What, I don't have anything to do, I just came to ask you, did you sleep well last night?" ”
That happened last night, the landlord came to knock on the door early in the morning, and asked us if we slept well, and I thought with my toes that the landlord must know the inside story, so I immediately interjected and said, "We are tired all day, and we fell asleep after washing up last night, what, what happened?" ”
There was a flash of unnaturalness on the landlord's face, and he soon asked with a smile on his face, "No, it's nothing...... I'm just here to ask you, are you still renting this house? If I don't rent it, I'll rent it to someone else today......"
Her tone was as if she couldn't wait to get us away.
"We also renew the lease, you don't have to rent to someone else, I'll go down and pay you the rent in advance later, you don't have to worry about the money. Our brother and son are still sleepy, and we will go down later, you are guarding the gate, and you are not afraid that we will run away, what is the hurry! Jin Dianlong agreed to continue living, firstly because we really needed to rent, and secondly, because he was bent on finding out what happened last night.
The landlord's face froze, and he quickly smiled politely again, and finally left.
Listening to the footsteps, she didn't go downstairs, but walked into the corridor, probably to ask other tenants, right?
Jin Dianlong closed the door casually, but after the landlord walked away into the corridor, he opened the door lightly and quietly looked outside, and after looking for a while, he closed the door with a suspicious face, turned his head and asked us, "Is this hotel occupied by no one except us?" Then why did the landlord just take the key to open the door of another room, and he was not afraid of the disgust of other guests? ”
The landlord just took the key and opened the door?
I suddenly thought of the heavy footsteps that sounded in the corridor last night, and for no reason I felt a chill on my back, and blurted out: "Senior brother and I heard footsteps last night, how can we be the only ones who live?" ”
"Then this landlord is too casual, although it is her house, but the guest lives now, then you can't just use the key to open the door......" Jin Dianlong shook his head and walked back to the room, sighing, "It's still a regular hotel, this small hotel is too casual." ”
The cold man looked at the door and took his words, "What if those tenants won't open the door?" ”
Jin Dianlong and I were stunned, what do you mean that you won't open the door?
But we were also stunned for a moment, and a thought came straight into my mind: in this world, except for people who can't walk, only dead people can't open doors!
Could it be that all the people living in this hotel except us are dead?
I looked at the cold man, he had lowered his eyes, and did not respond to our speculation, Jin Dianlong did not believe in evil, and after listening to the landlord go downstairs, he simply walked out of the door, first knocked on the door next door, and then raised his voice to ask, "Excuse me, I want to ask something......"
It was quiet outside, no one answered him, and there was no sound of the door opening.
The Golden Palace Dragon knocked on several more rooms one after another, each of which was the same as the first, quiet, and no one responded.
He returned to the room with a solemn face and shook his head at us, "I just knocked on all the doors of all the rooms, and no one answered me, it was like death!" ”
When it came to "death", he shivered to himself and quickly shut up.
The two of us looked at the cabinet again, but we never saw any clues, or the cold man got up and walked downstairs first, Jin Dianlong and I hurriedly followed behind, Jin Dianlong grabbed him and asked in a low voice, "Senior brother, what are we going to do now?" ”
"Go and send something to Second Master Li." The cold man replied lightly, and we went downstairs together.
The landlord was sitting at the door, and when she saw us coming down, she looked at us with a wary look on her face, and asked, "You still can't live?" ”
Jin Dianlong walked to the counter, took out a wad of money and put it on the cabinet in front of the landlord, and said angrily: "Boss, seeing that you are still young and charming, why is your memory so poor?" I just told you above that we still have to renew the lease, and you forgot about it in the blink of an eye? That's a week's worth of the room, plus a deposit of 200 dollars, you count. ”
Seeing the money on the counter, the landlord still had a gloomy face, brushed and counted the money, as if he had a grudge against us, and then opened a list and threw it directly on the counter, and said coldly, "Okay, you can continue to live." ”
Jin Dianlong and I glanced at each other, thinking to myself that this landlord didn't have such a face when he pulled us to live in it yesterday, why is it that we have been renting for a long time now, and she seems to be even more unhappy?
What we didn't expect was that after the landlord collected the money, he actually stipulated three rules for us:
First, you must go to sleep after 10 p.m., and even if you don't fall asleep, you can only walk around your room.
Second, the contents of the room must not be moved or destroyed.
Third: Don't harass other guests.
When the landlord proposed these three, Jin Dianlong's face was already displeased, and he obviously wanted to rush up to reason with the landlord, but the cold man agreed, "Okay, let's just abide by it, Xiaolong, let's go." ”
After he finished speaking, he walked out, I pulled Jin Dianlong, signaling him not to act rashly, Jin Dianlong snorted coldly, and followed me out of the door of the hotel, after walking out of the door, he finally couldn't help muttering: "This woman is really unreasonable, this is a hotel, not military training, she also has three rules, as if who wants to live in her little broken hotel!" ”
The cold man finally paused, looked at us and said, "She didn't like us to live longer, so naturally she had to set some rules." ”
I don't understand this sentence, since it is a hotel, as long as there are people living in it, you can make money, why doesn't this landlord like us to live more?
I know Jin Dianlong's quick temper, come and go quickly, and reassure him in a low voice, and follow the cold man's words to say that this hotel does not look simple, and the landlord has repeatedly asked for it, which means that there is a problem with this hotel, we quietly abide by it, but we can see the problem, if it makes trouble, it will startle the snake.
Jin Dian was stunned, and suddenly realized, and the displeasure just now also disappeared in an instant, urging the cold man to hurry up to find the second master of the Li family, and then hurry back, he wanted to see how deep the water in this small hotel could be!
The cold man smiled bitterly and shook his head, but he just inquired about the hotel where the Li family stayed, bought some gifts and gave them to the second master of the Li family at the front desk, and asked her to say that it was to thank the second master for his kindness in the hospital, and there was no need to say anything else.
After coming out of the hotel, Jin Dianlong was puzzled: "Senior brother, now that we have come and sent things, why don't you go and meet the second master of the Li family?" Now that we have completely formed a bond with the Wang family, if we can temporarily make friends with the Li family, we can also solve the urgent need for a while, but you come and go so quietly, how can the second master of the Li family stand on our side? ”
The cold man just smiled and didn't answer Jin Dianlong's words.
I answered Jin Dianlong's doubts, "If it is really as we guessed, the second master of the Li family invited my uncle away, but he didn't mention the conditions from beginning to end, then he is waiting, waiting for us to put forward the conditions." Once we put forward the conditions first, we lose. Senior brother is now comparing with them, that is, who is more calm. ”
Jin Dianlong looked suddenly enlightened, and there was also a look of appreciation in the cold man's eyes.
I'm going to go on and on, the cold man instantly sped up his pace, "Let's go quickly, there's a tail behind us!" ”
What he means is that someone is following us behind!
Jin Dianlong and I took it for granted that the Wang family was following us, so we immediately quickened our pace and hurriedly walked towards the crowded place, and where there were more people, we would drill where it was crowded, thinking that we would definitely fall down the tail behind us.
But the strange thing is that no matter how we walk, the person behind us is like glue, we are fast and he is fast, we are slow and he is slow, biting tightly behind us. I turned my head to look, and the man was wearing a black umbrella when it wasn't raining or windy, and I could only see that he was wearing a red dress.
"Damn, is it Zhao Meiyu and her senior sister? She is in northern Hebei, but what is she doing with us, is she also doing things for the Wang family, wanting to sell us and please the little fourth master? "When I saw a red dress, I quickly thought of the woman in red, and I didn't want to say it angrily.
Jin Dianlong frowned tightly and retorted to me, "What do I think of those who have been following us, but they look like Shi Xiaonan?" ”
I suddenly stopped!
