Chapter 2: A Lifetime

I hit the brakes.

"For a lifetime, what an interesting name. ”

After parking the car, I walked into my life, and the first thing I saw was an old man napping on a brand new rattan chair in front of the counter. The old man's costume is a little weird, like the national costume unique to the Miao people. I was surprised that it wasn't these, but that the turban he was wearing around his head actually had an eight-clawed spider lying on his stomach, and he didn't even notice it, and he still slept soundly.

"Whew!"

His snoring was so heavy that I couldn't bear to disturb him. So I turned around and went out.

"Smack!"

Unexpectedly, I turned around and knocked over a vintage vase.

"Who, who!"

The old man woke up and shouted in a panic. When he saw me standing there in a panic, he knew I had done something bad. He stood up with a blue face, walked up to me angrily, and shouted, "Little girl, you have broken my vase, and you will lose money." ”

I saw that he was sturdy, more than 1.8 meters tall, and had a fierce look, I was really frightened, so I said apologetically: "I'm sorry, how much does this vase cost, and I will compensate you according to the price." ”

When the old man heard this, he looked around at me with bad intentions, walked to the door and looked around, then suddenly turned back to the house, and said with a smile: "Little girl, you are here to stay in the hotel, I'm really sorry, in fact, that vase is not worth much, as long as you live here for ten days and half a month, that vase, you don't have to pay for it." ”

When I saw the environment here just now, although it looked clean on the surface, but when I saw the eight-clawed spider just now, I had already dispelled the idea of living here, and now I began to shake a little when I heard the old man say this.

"How much was that night. I asked, a little displeased.

I saw him smile shrewdly, and his right hand was raised, and two fingers were stretched out. A thumb, and an index finger.

"What, eighty!"

I exclaimed, looking at the environment in disgust. It's just a simple wooden house, and I'm afraid that room is not much better. At the beginning, the price in my heart was capped at 20 yuan. How did I know that this old man was asking for a sky-high price as soon as he came up, and my face instantly became gloomy.

He kept looking at me intently, and suddenly smiled and said, "Otherwise, you can pay me two thousand yuan according to the original price of the vase." ”

"What!"

As soon as I heard this, I looked at the ordinary vase on the ground, I am afraid that the market price is only fifty yuan at most, and I suddenly said angrily in my heart: "You know that this is clearly blackmailing." ”

At the time, I wanted to tell him that I was a journalist, and if he did, I would let him be in the news. But after thinking about it, this is undoubtedly giving him a big advertisement in disguise, although it is a negative advertisement, but he didn't give him the money to advertise, why should I be this rotten good person. is going to take out 2,000 yuan from his bag and give it to him.

But it didn't matter, I found that I had gone out in a hurry and forgot to bring cash.

"What's the matter, little girl, you won't be out of money, it's better like this, you put the car here, you go and get the money and come back. ”

The old man said angrily, and went back to his wicker chair to take a nap, and seemed not at all worried that I would run away.

This appearance surprised and intrigued me.

"Cut!"

I shook my hands and left, wandered around the street for a long time, and found that there was only one long street, which was surrounded by water on all sides, and I searched every corner, but I couldn't find half a bank, not even an ATM.

"Oh my God, what the hell is this place. ”

When I pulled it out of my trouser pocket, I found that there were only 300 dollars left.

"Oh my God, how did I get to this point. ”

I was a little annoyed as to why I hadn't been prepared enough. If you have more information, you will definitely know how poor it really is.

Somewhat discouraged, I went back to my life, and the old man crossed Erlang's legs and looked at me with a wicked smile.

"What's the matter, little girl, if you don't have money, but you can't stay in the hotel, you can put the car here, I'll lend you the money, you go back and get the money and return it to me, and redeem your car. ”

Seeing his non-negotiable look, my heart became a little panicked, but I smiled, and in a coquettish tone, I lay on his counter and said, "Big brother, handsome guy, just spare me, it's okay for me to live with you." ”

When the old man heard this, he quickly took out paper and pen from the drawer at the counter, wrote a note casually, and didn't show it to me, didn't even ask me for my ID card, didn't even ask for my name, and led me to the second floor.

"You look at the rooms first, the rooms here are the cheapest, the cleanest, 80 yuan a day, if you don't have enough money, you can pay a day's rent first, but you have to pay a deposit. ”

Standing at the staircase on the second floor, he said with a straight face.

I looked around, and there were only four rooms on the second floor. 201、202、203、204.

201 is facing the street, 202 leans against the back mountain, 203 can clearly see the deep mountain where a pine is located, 204 seems to have been inhabited, so I don't have a chance to see it.

Roughly by comparison, each room is similar, with simple wooden windows, a dilapidated television, and a somewhat tattered bedside table.

I didn't hesitate to ask for room 203.

"One day's rent and deposit is one hundred and six, boss, give it to you, you have to find me forty. ”

I took out three hundred dollars from my pocket and pulled out two for him.

The old man glanced at the remaining hundred yuan in my hand meaningfully, and said in a cold tone: "I won't look for it first, just bet a hundred yuan, dinner will be eaten at our place, and there will be no charge." ”

"Here"

I looked at him in amazement.

"Do you still have food here? ”

He nodded affirmatively and said, "Three meals a day, breakfast is seven o'clock, lunch is eleven o'clock, and dinner is seventeen o'clock. ”

Standing in room 203, I saw a wall clock hanging on the east wall, it was three o'clock in the afternoon, that is, there were still two hours to eat, so I nodded and smiled, "Well, thank you, boss." ”

He probably saw the tiredness on my face, so he coughed and said, "Okay, you can rest first, I still have something to do." With that, he strode out and closed the door for me.

I finally collapsed lazily on the bed, and when I looked up, I saw a small line of small letters carved on the ceiling.

So I stood on the bed curiously and took a closer look.

"Friend, this place is often haunted, get out of here!"

This line of small print makes me creepy. The whole body couldn't help but shudder, but I didn't think much about it, look here, the huge window, just facing the deep mountains in the west, the afternoon sun spilled into the room, how could there be any horror.

I thought there must be naughty people playing around here. So I lay down on the bed with peace of mind and slept in my clothes.
