Chapter 229: The Anomaly Next Door
When the boss heard me say that he would stay for another night, his face suddenly became ugly, but after a few seconds, he immediately returned to normal, and asked angrily:
"Why are you back?"
"Oh, the plan has changed, is there anyone in room 206? If not, give me a stay. ”
The boss vigilantly looked at me and Lao Wu again, probably seeing that we were dressed ordinary, with unconcealed contempt in his eyes, he took out the room card for room 206 from the counter and slapped it on the table and said impatiently:
"Deposit!"
Paid, we took the room card upstairs, Lao Wu just entered the house, suddenly saw two beauties from the next room 207 pushed the door out, they were wearing fashionable jewelry and expensive I was impressed, especially the big-eyed beauty, and I had a polite greeting, strange is why they haven't left?
The big-eyed beauty still remembered me, and smiled at me as she passed by, and I asked curiously:
"It's been a day since the tour bus left, why are you two still here?"
Before the big-eyed beauty could reply, the beautiful woman in denim shorts next to her complained:
"She's so tired!"
I laughed and said:
"I've only been in the car for a while, and I'm tired before I get to the attraction?"
The big-eyed beauty explained:
"We just came back from Jiuzhaigou, and we are already tired, so we shouldn't have reported this tour group."
After that, she asked rhetorically, "What about the two of you?" ”
"Oh, I've lost something, come back and look for it!"
After a few pleasantries, they went downstairs and I entered the room.
The first thing Lao Wu did when he entered the house was to take off his clothes and get into the quilt, indeed, squatting on the side of the road for a night plus walking back during the day, he really couldn't stand it at this age.
"Listen, unless a ghost comes out and carries me away, I mean don't move anything. What kind of moth do you kid come up again, what do you like to find, how to toss as much as you like! ”
Lao Wu's words were weak, and it seemed that he was going to let it go.
This last tiger coin is so important to me! Turning back to the hotel, although I probably guessed the whereabouts of the copper coin, I still need to confirm it!
There were a lot of people coming and going in the corridor, watching them drag their luggage and laughing, I secretly sweated for them, and when I walked to the room where the middle man heard the ghost cry yesterday, I saw a little girl who looked like a high school girl was opening the door, she looked like she was only seventeen or eighteen years old, with a straight face, as if she was not in a good mood.
I stopped at the door, and she turned her head to stare at me warily.
"Yourself?"
The little girl didn't reply, but her face was still gloomy.
"Lock the door at night and don't go out if it's okay."
Seeing that she was guarding against me, I told her a few words and then left, and at the corner of the stairs I suddenly heard the little girl shouting at me:
"Have you seen my mother?"
I stopped, and when I looked back, she had closed the door.
The tourists of the tourist bus have all settled down, and the boss is wearing short sleeves with red checkered and red pants today, and a pair of sandals on his feet and whistling, as if he is in a good mood.
Seeing that he was not busy, I leaned over to the front desk and leaned my arm on it and smiled at the boss.
The boss looked at me indifferently, brushed back the hair in front of me with his hand, and asked:
"Any questions?"
I laughed and said:
"It's okay, go to bed early this time, come out and get some air."
The boss snorted coldly, as if he was too lazy to talk to me, and began to hum a little song again.
On the black marble countertop, there is a landline phone and a card box, and I took out a card, with four big characters printed in the middle of Huige Hotel, and the general manager Chi Yonghui and his private mobile phone number written at the bottom right.
On the back of the card is a striking line in medium font: Tours of all kinds are especially welcome to stay and take a break.
Seeing this, I smiled and asked:
"Boss, your hotel is not a tourist attraction, and there is no special feature, if the tour group is not broken down, who can stay here in your halfway?"
The boss shook his head and hummed a little song, and when I said this, he reached out and pulled the card back.
"What's the matter, there are a lot of repeat customers!"
The fleshy accent of his big tongue gave me goosebumps when I heard it.
After that, he looked up at me again and asked:
"Brother, are you okay, please go away if you are okay, I'm busy!"
I pulled out the cigarette from my pocket, put one in my mouth, and pushed the case towards him.
The boss glanced at my Furong King cigarette case, gave a disdainful "tsk", and took out a pack of soft China from under the counter.
I lit him a cigarette and asked in a low voice:
"Boss, I have something to ask, after I checked out of room 206, did you clean the room and pick up anything?"
The boss took a puff of his cigarette, sat down on the stool at the counter, and said slowly:
"I'm the only one in the whole hotel, I didn't see anything when I cleaned the room, I remember you didn't have any luggage when you came with friends!"
I smiled when I heard this: "My memory is so good, how many of us live, do you remember if you bring luggage?" ”
"Of course, those who eat this bite have a good memory!"
"Oh," I said, echoing,
"I lost a worthless little pendant, it's a copper coin with tiger stripes, have you seen it?"
I stared at him as I said this, and although he tried his best to hide it, I still caught his unnaturalness.
"I didn't see it, even if I saw it, I threw it away, if you want to find it, go to the trash can and rummage through it!"
The reply was completely expected, and I smiled and nodded.
"Oh, that's it, the boss has something to do!"
He looked a little impatient, waved his hand and said:
"What's the matter, why are you so annoying, I'm busy."
"Don't delay you much, I just want to ask, do any customers in your hotel complain about haunting!"
I leaned my head over and deliberately accentuated the word "ghost" at the end.
The boss stared at me, looked at me with ferocity in his eyes, and slowly replied in my tone:
"Yes, haunted, don't go out at night!"
He didn't have a big tongue when he replied to me, and his words were unusually standard, and the atmosphere was cold for a while.
"Brother, my ....." A young man on crutches appeared from the top of the staircase to break the deadlock.
I glanced up at him, and he looked like the boss, with a snow-white bandage around his right leg, as if he had just been beaten.
"Boss, didn't you say that you are alone watching this hotel?"
The boss spat out a puff of smoke and suddenly laughed again.
"Oh, this is my brother's, he is rarely here."
This person is relatively thin and a typical short man in the south, but he wears a large gold necklace from the northeast around his neck, which looks very unmatched.
He looked at me, nodded slightly, and then turned away.
"Okay, then you're busy." I finished what I had to say, and went out with a cigarette in my mouth.
The weather is fine today, and the sun is hanging in the western sky, reflecting a few red rays, which is beautiful and intoxicating.
After smoking this cigarette in the compound, I wanted to go to the nearby snacks to buy something, and just out of the hotel gate, I saw a figure who was not tall and came over.
It's a little girl who lives in the middle of the men's room, she has been chatting with the boss just now, and she didn't notice when she went downstairs, the little girl was wearing a gray dress, carrying a slanted bag, and holding a lunch box in her hand.
When I passed by, I took the initiative to say hello to her: "Little sister, haven't you eaten yet?" ”
The little girl stopped and stared at me timidly, her face still so ugly.
"I'm not hungry, brother, do you see my mother?"
I shook my head with a wry smile.
"Are you traveling with your mother? Didn't you stay in a room? Got separated? ”
The little girl didn't answer me, just sighed, tightened her lunch box and walked on.
Looking at her petite and pitiful back, although I wanted to help, I felt that she still seemed to be a little jealous of me.
I sighed inwardly and turned around to go to the snack shop to buy food.
After packing the meals and going back, Lao Wu had already woken up from sleep, and the two of us were drinking beer and chatting.
The tiger stripe copper coin was dug out by him and Liu Yunbo and Lao Tang in a few demon caves, and now it appeared in my hand and he was very shocked, I just told him that this copper coin was given to me by a friend.
Lao Wu didn't ask much, just nodded thoughtfully, took a big sip of beer and said:
"In order to repay the village chief for saving his life, we gave one of the copper coins to the old village chief, but later I heard that the old village chief gave something to Xiao Lizi."
The little plum in Lao Wu's mouth is Li Tong, and I sighed when I talked about it and told Lao Wu about Li Tong's death.
Lao Wu is a knife-mouthed tofu-hearted person, and after listening to it, he held the wine bottle and shed a few tears.
"It's a pity, in addition to being greedy for money, Xiao Lizi is a good person."
I still have a lot of questions about Li Tong's death, his copper coin should have been taken away by Liu Yunbo, so what did he find out and what happened?
I remembered the old ghost that Lao Wu was going to take me to find this time, and asked:
"What's the origin of this old ghost you're looking for? Does he have the ability to do anything? ”
What I think is that if this old ghost can also pass the yin, it will be easy to do it, and let him go to find the little ghost who reported to Li Tong, so that I can know everything about Li Tong's acting alone.
Old Wu shook the wine bottle.
"The old ghost is either Mr. Yin and Yang, or an old farmer, he knows everything and can see everything, but he just doesn't have any ability."
"And such people? Was it a deliberate failure to make a move? ”
Lao Wu sighed: "I don't know, this is his rule, he only sells news, does not come out, does not catch ghosts, and does not show the way." ”
I smiled wryly and asked:
"Will that treat me?"
Lao Wu took a sip of wine.
"I will definitely treat you, don't worry about this, let's continue to rush tomorrow, it's not far away."
After that, Lao Wu threw a peanut into his mouth and asked:
"Have you found the copper coin? By the way, don't you say that there are ghosts in our room, do you say that the toilet will flush automatically, and I haven't seen any movement. ”
I took out my phone and looked at the time, it was almost twelve o'clock, and replied lightly:
"It's right if it's not haunted tonight, it's exactly the same as I guessed, it's ......"
I walked to the bathroom in confusion, put my ear to the wall, and listened carefully to the movement of the beautiful woman's room next door, there was no longer the sound of shower water next door, but instead it turned into a miserable ghost cry.
These are all expected by me, the only thing that I can't understand is the unusual reaction of the two beauties next door, in the midst of this convulsive ghost cry, I can still hear the two of them chatting calmly!
