When is the darkest time in the world?

Quite simply, it's when one closes one's eyes forever.

It's also a very dark time, and it's true that many people close their eyes.

But it is true that they also close their eyes, but their eyes will be open again.

Yes, this is when people go to sleep.

And now it's just an ordinary night.

But in the midst of such dark nights, the lights are still on in some places.

Such a place is called an inn.

There are many inns in Hangzhou.

Each inn has many illuminated windows.

But only one inn had all the windows lit up at this time.

This inn is the "Yuelai Inn" on Yongfang Street.

If you see an inn with all the windows lit up at night, then you will definitely think that it is a very lively inn.

But the Yuelai Inn is not lively at all.

Not only is it not lively, it is also deserted.

It's not just because the inn doesn't have a single tenant.

All the more because there's only one guy in it.

This guy is the owner of this inn.

It's a very strange thing.

The strangest thing is that the owner of this inn is a blind man, and he is also a blind old woman.

The old woman was napping on the cash drawer at this time.

She snored loudly.

So big that you can't believe it's a woman's snoring.

The inn is brightly lit.

The blind owner of the inn is sleeping.

Suddenly, the blind old woman woke up.

She didn't wake up because she had slept enough.

After all, the night has not yet passed, and the sun has not yet risen.

She was woken up.

The door of the inn was opened, and a man walked through the door.

It was a man.

The man was dressed in shabby linen clothes, and his shoes had several holes in his feet.

He was only forty years old, but his face was wrinkled.

However, his eyes were still very young, and those eyes could kill people.

He walked slowly towards the old woman, two sleeves swinging beside him, but the sleeves were empty.

Yes, he has no hands!

Not a single one!

Although the old woman is blind, her ears are very sensitive.

As the footsteps of the handsless man got closer and closer, the curvature of the corners of her mouth became more and more curved.

When the man walked to the cash drawer, the old woman's smile was already all over her face.

She said enthusiastically: "May I ask the guest officer whether he wants to be sharpened or stay in the hotel?"

The handsless man said, "Stay in the hotel." ”

The old woman said: "We have a ten-tael-one-night sky-shaped room here, a ten-tael-one-night land-shaped room, and a no-money man-shaped room." Which room are the guests going to stay in?"

The handless man said: "I don't want a sky-shaped room, I don't want a land-shaped room, and I don't want a person-shaped room." I'm going to live in a ghost room. ”

The old woman was stunned, and the smile on her lips disappeared for a moment, but soon reappeared.

She said: "We only have the sky, earth and human numbers here, and there are no ghost rooms. ”

The handless man was expressionless, but there was no hesitation in his eyes.

He said: "I don't want a sky-shaped room, I don't want a land-shaped room, and I don't want a person-shaped room." I'm going to live in a ghost room. ”

The old woman said, "Do you really want to live in a ghost house?"

The handsless man said, "I really want to live in a ghost room." ”

The old woman said, "If you really want to live in a ghost house, can you come back tomorrow?"

The handless man said, "No, because I'm dead tomorrow." ”

The old woman said, "But if you come to live today, you will die tomorrow." ”

The handless man said, "If there are many residents, I may be able to survive." ”

The old woman was silent for a long time.

She walked slowly out from behind the cash drawer, her empty eyes "staring" at the man.

The smile on her face was gone.

Her mouth opened again: "It's not impossible if you have to live, but this room is very expensive, I don't think you can afford it." ”

The handsless man said, "Why do you think I can't afford it?"

The old woman said: "You don't even have a hand, how can you afford it?"

The handless man said, "I don't have hands, but I still have feet." ”

The old woman said, "Can your feet be worth as much as your hands?"

The handless man said, "Although my feet are not as valuable as my hands, it is enough to pay for a room." ”

The old woman said, "Okay, since that's the case, then let me try if your feet are enough!"

With that, she pulled out a dagger from her waist, pointed to tiptoe, and rushed towards the man.

The handless man shouted, his body was surging, and he stepped heavily under his feet, setting off a heat wave.

I saw that the man raised his right foot and pressed towards the old woman's door, but the old woman seemed to have both eyes alive and quickly dodged.

......

The two fought back and forth several times, and when they saw the move, the surrounding tables and chairs were shattered, and the candles in the inn flickered and flickered.

Finally, the handsless man kicked out in the air, and a scorching wave of charcoal heat slapped heavily on the old woman's chest, knocking her down at the foot of the wall.

She slowly stood up, blood streaming from the corners of her mouth.

She put the dagger away, raised her hand upstairs, and said, "It seems that you still have a lot of money, go up." ”

The handsless man said, "Thank you." ”

Then he walked up.

Behind him, the old woman "stared at him" again with those blind eyes, and sighed:

"Why are so many people going to die?"

......
