Chapter 56: Not a Thing
"Whew...... Call...... Whew......"
Da Zhuang leaned against the doorrail, panting hard.
After running wildly in the snow for so long, even he inevitably felt a burst of detachment, but his eyes were still hot, and there was a faint hint of firmness.
After adjusting his breath slightly, he walked slowly into the dilapidated little inn, and what was waiting for him was an old lady with silver hair at the front desk.
It's just that at this time, she is lowering her head, and she doesn't know what she is busy with.
Hearing Da Zhuang's voice, she seemed to react violently, but the first time she looked at the old clock next to her.
10:30, a time that is neither early nor late. But for this remote inn, it's too late.
She slowly turned her head and looked at the man in front of her suspiciously...... In her impression, it was the first time that a customer came to visit so late.
What's more, the person in front of him is still so embarrassed, and he doesn't seem to be a good person.
"ID card?" The old lady asked softly, her eyes full of scrutiny.
"Ahh Identity card. Da Zhuang came to his senses and hurriedly began to grope around his body.
Fortunately, he has the habit of carrying his ID card with him when he goes out...... Otherwise...... Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a burst of rejoicing.
After a long time, he took out an ID card from the inner pocket of his coat and handed it to the old man.
"Wan Hongzhuang?" The old man stared at the ID card with a puzzled face, raised his head from time to time, and carefully examined his whole body, "This photo doesn't seem to look very similar to you?" ”
Da Zhuang's expression froze, and he quickly wiped his face, "Old man, look at it again, isn't this photo me?" ”
After saying that, he put on an honest and reliable Yoko as if he was flattering, and blinked and looked at the old lady.
"En......" After a few breaths, the old man nodded, reluctantly accepting his explanation.
The business was bad enough, and there was such an unjust boss who came to the door for no reason, and she really couldn't find any reason to turn him away.
Thinking of this, the expression on the old man's face couldn't help but soften a little.
"Thirty a night, no counteroffer." After thinking about it, she added, "There is no breakfast. ”
"Eh, eh, okay!" Wan Hongzhuang nodded busily.
"That's all for the room, you can choose any one, and tell me when you're ready."
After speaking, the old lady handed Wan Hongzhuang a somewhat worn notebook, on which the date and the numbers of dozens of rooms were written, several of which should have been inhabited, so the back of those numbers was specially marked with a red cross.
"How do you find Xiaoxue's room?" Looking at the rows of numbers in front of him, Da Zhuang was a little confused.
Gang was indeed a little anxious, not to mention, he couldn't imagine that he would come back here again......
Then, the breaking point of the current predicament is on the old lady in front of her.
"Auntie, Auntie!" Da Zhuang laughed with a dog's leg and called out to the old lady.
"Huh? Have you chosen? The old lady opened the drawer without raising her head, "Which one?" I'll find the key for you! ”
"No, no, no!" Da Zhuang smiled humbly, and his voice was extremely soft, trying to make himself look as reliable as possible.
"I'd like to ask you something, didn't a girl just go up? Which room is she living in? ”
The old lady raised her head violently, her eyes instantly full of defense, "What do you want to do?" ”
Looking at her eyes, Da Zhuang knew that she had obviously misunderstood, and hurriedly waved his hand to explain: "No, no, you misunderstood!" ”
"I'm her brother, and I can't rest assured when I see her living here alone, so I want to live next to her, so I can take care of each other."
After saying this, Da Zhuang couldn't help but feel a sense of weakness in his heart...... This reason, even in his opinion, is clumsy.
"Brother?" The old lady's expression was a little subtle, and she picked up Wan Hongzhuang's ID card and looked at it again.
"Your surname is Wan?" The old lady asked with a scrutinizing expression.
"Hmm!" Da Zhuang nodded, at this time, he only felt like sitting on pins and needles, restless.
"But you two don't even have the same surnames, what kind of brothers and sisters are they?" The old lady asked suspiciously, and threw out a fatal piece of evidence.
"Cousin, it's cousin." Da Zhuang's expression became more and more dog-legged.
"Cousin?" The old lady's expression was a little meaningful.
"Yes, yes, yes!" The great and humble should respond.
But at this time, he was also extremely helpless, and it seemed that there was no other way than to try his best to please the old lady in front of him.
"Bang!"
The old lady threw the notebook on the bar and stared at Wan Hongzhuang.
This couldn't help but make Wan Hongzhuang even more apprehensive, but he didn't dare to do anything, he just stood there with his eyebrows lowered and obedient, his face full of humility.
The old lady's face showed a knowing smile, "You young people...... It's a quarrel, right? ”
"Quarrel?" Wan Hongzhuang's face was confused.
But looking at the old lady's expression that seemed to see through everything, he knew that it was obvious that she had misunderstood.
And at this time, he seemed to be able to only follow her meaning with a constipated face, "Yes, yes, yes!" Or Auntie, you are as wise as a torch, we did quarrel! ”
"I knew it!"
The old lady's face was full of arrogance, "I just saw you standing outside and didn't say anything, so I knew that you two young people must be having a conflict!" ”
The wood was already in the boat, and Da Zhuang could only nod helplessly.
"You have to know how to cherish it!" The old lady sighed and looked at Da Zhuang with some anger, "Such a cute little girl, how can you bear to leave her here alone?" ”
"If you men are sometimes ruthless, it's really not a thing!"
Da Zhuang's face was full of bitterness, and in an instant, he actually had the urge to leave.
It's just that when I thought of the figure shivering in the cold wind, my eyes instantly became firm again, "Yes! Right! Right! It's mine no, what my aunt taught me was, that ......"
"I really can't do anything about you young people!"
The old lady shook her head, "That little girl lives in the room at the end of the second floor, which is 213, and it happens that 211 is still empty, so you can live there!" ”
"Thank you, Auntie!" Da Zhuang breathed a long sigh of relief, and hurriedly began to take out the money, "Thirty, right, you take it!" ”
The old lady looked at the ceiling and did not react.
"Auntie, give you money." Da Zhuang's voice sounded unconsciously, and he pushed the money forward again.
Although he also wanted to get out of here as soon as possible, after all, he hadn't gotten the key yet, so he could only continue to lie down and stand in front of the bar, and the whole person began to feel uneasy.
"When did I say, thirty?" The old lady was full of doubts, staring at Da Zhuang, or rather, the money in his hand.
Da Zhuang was a little stunned for a moment, and stammered: "On the blackboard at the door, don't you say...... Thirty-one nights? ”
He didn't think he was missing something, but what did this old lady mean.
Inexplicably, he began to feel uneasy......
