Chapter Fifty-Five: A Gift
Because my hotel uses the old building of the Republic of China, how to renovate, the structure is similar to that time.
In addition to the space I used to operate, there is a mezzanine, and further up from that mezzanine, there is a ventilated terrace that leads to the outside where a table can be placed.
This terrace, once because of the leakage of wind and rain, was closed by the shopkeeper Tong a sturdy, and later because of our transformation, they have a moment to see the light of day.
But even though there is such a great place to see the scenery, I don't use it for business and decoration.
On the one hand, I needed a place to arrange the residence of Ji Ye, and on the other hand, I felt that I needed some private space that was safer than the basement to deal with some very private issues.
And now, it's finally coming in handy.
After the rush hour had passed, I took everyone out of sight, opened the hallway to the attic of the hotel, and walked briskly inside.
When the wooden attic was opened, it was quite spacious, but it was only about 1.5 meters high, and there were no lights, so I often met as I went.
After suffering a little, I finally got to the relatively close position.
After feeling relatively safe and hidden, I took out my mobile phone in silence and concentrated on finding Zhao Haipeng's phone.
But just as I was about to make a call, I stopped moving.
The reason why I didn't move was because in extreme silence...... I'm sure I heard a person's breathing, as well as ...... Slight sobbing.
The sound in my ears made my nerves tense suddenly, and then I slowly put down my phone, turned it off gently, and carefully identified the location of the sound source.
I was nervous about such a trivial matter, and I seemed a little nervous, but I knew that my hotel was a haunted hotel, and there were many strange things that happened here, and it was inevitable that I would have many bad associations.
I still remember that Elder Wu Demon once told me that the old man who built this building was once married to the seventh aunt's wife, but I only found the bodies of six women in the walls of my hotel.
Surprised and surprised, I approached the sound source step by step with curiosity, and then found that the place where the sound came from was at the edge of the cage where the chicken master usually slept, behind a box.
Listening to the movement, looking at the hazy box in the faint light, I rushed over with an arrow step, quickly turned on the flashlight of my mobile phone, and then shouted in the direction of the corner: "What a demon......! How are you?"
Halfway through the words, I had to change my mouth, because I found that the woman hiding in the corner and curling her body was not a female ghost, but my noodle cook, Zhao Shuihe.
At this time, Zhao Shuihe's expression and appearance were very miserable, the little girl was curled up, covered in floating soil, and kept shrinking to the corner of the wall, obviously avoiding me. Under the strong light of the mobile phone, she could not open her eyes, and there were deep tears in the corners of her eyes, and it was obvious that she had just cried through her nose.
Shui He's appearance was deplorable and confusing, so I quickly dimmed the mobile phone in my hand, and whispered to her what was wrong with her, why she was sitting here alone and secretly crying.
When I asked with concern, the tears in the corners of Zhao Shuihe's eyes were still flowing outward, and after listening to my questioning, she said as hard as ever: "I want you to take care of it! I'm just uncomfortable?"
"Uncomfortable?" I was surprised, thought for a moment, and then asked, "Did your brother Zhao Shuirong make you angry again?"
Listening to my "unpredictable prophet", Xiao Shuihe's face was surprised for a while, and then quickly regained his composure and said, "No! It's none of my brother's business!"
Although the little girl's mouth is still very hard, her panic and expression betray everything.
Then, I smiled cross-legged, sat on the floor, and said to Zhao Shuihe: "...... Don't pretend! Is it because your brother has released your pigeons on August 15 and can't come to the hotel to see you?"
Listening to my accurate prediction, Zhao Shuihe had nothing to say this time, her eyes widened, and she stared at me for a while before she spoke: "You...... How do you know?"
Hearing her ask, I shook my head slightly and said, "What's so hard to guess about this! Tomorrow will be August 15, if your brother comes, there should be a letter now, according to your temperament, if your brother is coming, I'm afraid you will already jump up and tell us this, right?!"
After I finished saying this, Shui He, who I guessed as the center, was completely dumbfounded, and she pursed her lips and bowed her head, like an angry child.
Seeing that Shui He was angry, I sighed and pouted, so I asked her again: "Hey, tell me why your brother didn't come again......?" It's better than crying here!"
Listening to my questioning, Zhao Shuihe was reluctant to say it at first, but I knew that she was not a person who could hold things back, so I asked her several times again.
Later, I couldn't help asking, but Zhao Shuihe still told me the reason why her brother Zhao Shuirong missed the appointment this time.
It turned out that just the day before yesterday, Zhao Shuihe's elder brother Zhao Shuirong received a meal project from the provincial government, saying that he was going to prepare dim sum for 15 August for the leaders of the central inspection work.
Because of the tight time, heavy tasks, and the presence of big leaders, Zhao Shuirong had to personally sit in the family business and work day and night to study and make moon cakes on August 15.
Because of this, he didn't care about celebrating or comforting Zhao Shuihe, the only thing he could give to Shuihe was a box of moon cakes that had just been shipped from Yangzhou this morning, made by Zhao Shuirong himself, and with temperature.
Maybe Zhao Shuirong's craftsmanship is very good, maybe this guy has a lot of leaders to entertain, but unfortunately, this can't be the reason why he has repeatedly released his sister's pigeons.
So, during the lunch break, Zhao Shuihe hid in this dark corner where everyone usually doesn't come in often, called first, scolded her brother very angrily, and then dropped the phone and began to sobbed in pain.
Just when I came in, this little girl had just finished crying, and was about to finish it, because she was afraid that I would see this ugly picture, so she hid in the corner of the clutter.
...... After saying this, Zhao Shuihe took out a wooden box that was under his buttocks, put it in front of me, and waved his hand: "The rotten moon cakes that the bastard gave me! I won't eat them! You take them all, feed the dogs or the pigs, whatever!"
When I listened to this, I was overjoyed!
I know that Zhao Shuihe's current mood is extremely unstable, and for now, I have to put aside the matter of talking to Zhao Haipeng for the time being, and calm Xiao Nizi's emotions first.
And taking this opportunity, I suddenly thought of an excellent way to kill people with a knife and investigate Wang Fatzi!
