Hearing that Benfu's nosebleed couldn't hold back any longer, he subconsciously used one hand to block it, but his hands were covered with blood, and he was very embarrassed.

After a while, everyone's eyes on Dui Shiyu were wonderful.

When Dui Shiyu reacted and took out the rope in annoyance and wanted to immediately correct the bastard in front of him, a burst of exclamations suddenly erupted in the crowd.

Everyone stared at the rope in Dui Shiyu's hand, as if some strange idea had been confirmed.

Thereupon...... Before the village chief arrived, Dui Shiyu was so angry that he couldn't drink it anymore after just drinking a few mouthfuls of porridge, while Su Zhi hiked and drank three bowls, and also ate all the pickled cucumbers with side dishes.

In the end, she tentatively asked Dui Shiyu if she still drank it, until she saw the latter's iron-blue face, and then she couldn't give up.

It seems that because of the unpleasantness between him and the shopkeeper yesterday, the village chief and his party just stood in front of the shop, but did not come in, but looked in from time to time.

After Zhou Rong saw the village chief, he stood up from the table and walked over first.

"Please wait a minute," Zhou Rong said, "I'll go to the boss to return the key first, and then I'll go with you." ”

The old village chief, who was full of wrinkles on his forehead, rubbed his hands excitedly and said with a smile: "Don't worry, your willingness to come is the ancestor of our whole village." ”

Hearing this, Yu Man, who crossed his legs and leaned on the wooden chair in a very reverie posture, sneered and said, "If the ancestors have accumulated virtue, you will not fall into this fate." ”

Of course, her voice was not loud, and only a few people around her could hear her.

Li Lu frowned and didn't say anything.

After waiting for a while, the shopkeeper still did not appear, and from morning until now, he did not see the shopkeeper or his wife.

Zhou Rong was the first to wake up, but he just opened the door, stood in front of the door, and waited until the door next door opened, and then he went downstairs with everyone.

The porridge was placed downstairs early in the morning, and there were 8 pairs of chopsticks along the side of the pot containing the porridge, which was obviously reserved for them to eat.

Su Zhiyuan slowly swallowed the last mouthful of porridge in his mouth, but his eyes were fixed on the position of the stairs.

So is the rain of poetry.

She was waiting, and the shopkeeper who had said she was going to get up early to see them off didn't show up.

On the contrary, the village chief and his party came to the door.

It was already dark, and Zhou Rong, who was holding a few keys in his hand, seemed to be unable to wait, he stood up and turned his head to walk upstairs.

Before he could reach the stairs, a figure chased after him, "Mr. Zhou," Su Zhiyuan walked to his side very kindly, parallel to him, "I'll go with you." ”

"Okay."

Given Su Zhiyuan's support for him yesterday, he had a good impression of the former, even if he knew that Su Zhiyuan was not as simple as it seemed.

They searched around the second floor, but they didn't find the shopkeeper and his wife.

The same is true for the third floor.

They didn't expect that this not small hostel would only accommodate 8 of their guests.

"Could it be that I'm out?" Su Zhiyuan looked left and right and asked, "I heard a fat man say that the dishes in the morning market are cheap and fresh, and many restaurant owners like to buy goods in the morning." ”

"Perhaps," replied Zhou Rong, turning around as he said, "It seems that we have to put the key on the counter so that they can see it as soon as they return." ”

Su Zhiyuan clapped his hands and praised when he heard this: "It is worthy of Mr. Zhou, you can actually think of such a way!" ”

Zhou Rong, who had just turned around, couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and he turned his head in confusion.

Su Zhiyuan continued: "Compared with you below, it is like the dawn of the sun and this candlelight, and the three days of Shibei should be impressed!" He pointed to a candlestick at the end of the hallway, and said figuratively with an unchanged face.

Zhou Rong: "??? ”

What kind of mess is this......

Although he thought so in his heart, he still subconsciously looked in the direction of Su Zhiyuan's finger, the space on the third floor was much smaller than the second floor, with only 10 rooms.

It is separated by a corridor, with 5 rooms on one side, facing each other.

Only I came up with a staircase on this side, and the other side was blocked by a wall.

Due to the lighting, a candlestick hangs on the wall.

The miserable white candle was faintly burning, inexplicably giving people a feeling of oppression.

It's like ...... I came to the mourning hall.

Just now he was only looking for the shopkeeper and his wife, and at this moment Zhou Rong suddenly noticed the candle and the position of the candlestick.

The candlestick is oddly positioned, not up or down in the middle of the wall, which also leads to very limited illumination, and ....... As if he had discovered something, his eyes suddenly became strange.

The wall on the other side wasn't quite right, it was actually painted a rare black.

As a result, the third floor, which was already poorly lit, became darker and darker, and when you stood in front of the stairs and looked in, it was not like a wall, but like an entrance to hell.

People living in this era are just a little behind, but they are not stupid, how can they design such a pattern.

In the next second, Zhou Rong's pupils suddenly shrank.

He had excellent eyesight, and had just seen the flame on the candle tremble violently.

Immediately after, he felt a breeze blowing across his face, light, but ...... He looked at the sides of the hallway, all the doors were closed, where was the wind?

As it turned out, finding problems wasn't his forte, analyzing and solving problems was, and he immediately summoned the information about the hostel in his head.

There are three floors, and from the outside, the first and second floors are the same length, and only the third floor is significantly shorter.

This explains why there are 14 rooms on the second floor and only 10 on the third floor.

In other words, the second floor is about two rooms wider than the third floor.

But according to Zhou Rong's recollection, in fact, it was not.

So...... Behind that wall, there's probably another space.

And the shopkeeper and his wife are hiding there.

He didn't have time to explain to Su Zhiyuan, so he walked over lightly, and when he came to the wall, he stood quietly, stretched out a finger to wet it with his tongue, and then slowly groped along the perimeter of the wall.

Soon, he felt the slightest chill on his fingers.

He was close to the wall and noticed a gap.

The gaps are actually rough, but because the walls are dark and the lighting is poor, it is extremely difficult for the unintentional to notice even if they stand in front of them.

No one would have thought that there was a dark room behind it.

The gap was relatively large, and after Zhou Rong's throat rolled a little, he leaned his head over without hesitation.

There was indeed a hole inside, and a white candle almost identical to the outside stood in a corner of the dark room, burning faintly.

In the faint light, he saw a familiar back, with a dirty apron around the back, which was the shopkeeper.

He trembled all over, as if he was excitedly explaining something, because of the angle, so he couldn't see the person in front of the shopkeeper clearly, and could only see a pair of feet.

Those feet are very small, and they don't look like the proprietress belongs to them.
