We had been walking along the mountain road for at least an hour. We thought Mujiazhuang was close at hand, but we didn’t expect it was still ten miles away. After hearing what the landlady said, I felt a little surprised.
But fortunately, Miao Cuishan said that I only need to deliver the things before 12 noon the day after tomorrow. There is still time.
So Lonnie and I discussed it and decided to stay overnight in the inn for the time being. We would rush directly to Mujiazhuang early tomorrow morning and return immediately after finding the thing.
"You two, please come in!"
After hearing that Lonnie and I decided to stay in the hotel, the landlady seemed very excited. She quickly opened the door and walked to the front to lead the way.
The yard is bumpy and bumpy. On the left is a wooden carport, and on the right stands a stone house with pots, pans and other kitchen utensils inside.
When we walked through the door, a dark-skinned man was squatting in front of the stove to light the fire. When he heard the footsteps, he raised his head and glanced at me, then quickly lowered his head and fell silent.
"This is my son. He doesn't like to talk very much. Please don't be offended, sir!"
Seeing me staring at the man, the landlady explained with a smile.
I nodded, didn't say anything more, and then followed the boss's wife and walked forward.
In the middle of the small building is a wooden staircase leading to the second floor. There is a room to the left of the wooden staircase. The door is open. Inside is a dark table with a few benches around it. It looks like it should be a place where the landlady and her family dine. .
There are three huts on the right, but the doors of each hut are closed. They are probably the residences of the landlady and her family.
Lonnie and I followed the proprietress up the stairs. The wooden stairs were in disrepair and creaked when we stepped on them. When we reached the second floor, there was a corridor in front of us.
There is a glass window installed on the left side of the corridor. Standing in the corridor, you can see the situation outside the door, and there are three guest rooms on the other side.
The landlady directly led us into the guest room at the end of the corridor. As soon as we opened the door, a damp and decaying smell hit our face.
The room was simply furnished, with a wooden bed in the middle, a bedside table on the left, a chair next to it, and nothing else.
The roof was dark, and some unknown insects could be vaguely seen crawling in and out of the gaps.
"Madam boss, are there any other rooms? We want to change to one."
After seeing the poor room environment, I asked the landlady.
"The two rooms next to it are already occupied. This is the only one left, so you can just make do with it."
The landlady said with a smile: "The conditions in our mountains are not as good as those in the city, but although this house looks dilapidated, it is very comfortable to live in!"
"Okay, let's stay in this room, give us the key."
I wanted to say more, but Lonnie said it directly to the landlady.
"well!"
With a smile on her face, the landlady handed over a key and then said, "If you two need anything, just ask, I'll go down first."
After saying that, he walked away.
"Xiao Chengzi, you wait outside, I'll go inside to clean up first."
Lonnie said and walked into the house alone, while I stood outside and looked around.
At this moment, there was a sudden creak, the door of the guest room next door was opened, and two figures flashed out from inside.
"Boy, you're fine!"
The two men narrowed their eyes and looked at me with sinister smiles on their faces.
"Yes, maybe we are destined."
I smiled faintly and stared at the two people without fear.
These two people were none other than the two rich second generations they met halfway, Lei Shao and Fei Shao!
When I was down there just now, I had already noticed that it was their Maybach parked in the carport, so I was not surprised at all by the appearance of these two people.
"Boy, you must lock the door tonight, don't let me block it!"
Mr. Lei pointed at me and said with an arrogant face.
"Okay, the same goes for you, but don't even know how you died!"
I said calmly.
"you!"
Seeing the situation, Lei was about to get angry again, but he quickly suppressed his anger and just looked at me and sneered.
"Boy, don't be complacent, let's wait and see!"
After saying that, he and Fei Shao returned to the house, slamming the door shut.
I stood at the door of the guest room, looking out through the window.
From here, you can see the mountain road we took up the mountain, lying quietly outside the inn's gate and winding downwards.
At this time, the sky outside was getting darker and darker, the wind was howling, and big raindrops fell, and soon formed a continuous rain curtain, covering the entire mountain.
After watching the rain scene for a while, I was about to help Lonnie clean the house, but suddenly, my body froze and my heart started beating wildly!
On the mountain road outside the inn, a figure appeared, walking towards the inn.
Wearing a bamboo hat and a raincoat, he carried a fishing rod on his shoulder and a bucket in his right hand. He walked closer to the inn step by step in the heavy rain.
Isn't this the old fishing man under the cliff?
How come he is here?
You know, I saw him many times along the way. For a whole day, he sat quietly by the lake fishing, even if the truck crashed behind him, he was indifferent. I always thought that he was a wild monster, why would he come? How about going to this inn?
Did he come here to stay in a hotel, or was this his home?
While I was wondering, I suddenly saw that the landlady and her son had each held a black umbrella and hurriedly came over.
One of them took the fishing rod from the old man, and the other took the bucket from his hand. The three of them stood at the door of the inn and whispered something.
As the landlady spoke, she turned her head from time to time and glanced towards the guest rooms on the second floor.
I quickly retreated to the room, avoiding the landlady's gaze.
"Xiao Chengzi, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing my solemn expression, Lonnie couldn't help but asked curiously.
"Ni, that old fisherman has come to the inn too!"
I said to Lonnie in a deep voice.
Lonnie didn't say anything, she walked over directly, stood sideways at the door, looked outside, and after a few glances, she turned around.
"This old fisherman and the proprietress seem to be a couple. There is something wrong with this inn!"
I nodded: "Then let's..."
"The soldiers will come and cover up the water and earth. There is nothing to be afraid of."
Lonnie waved her hand and said nonchalantly: "Let's be more careful tonight. If we find something is wrong, we will act accordingly!"
"good!"
I responded and said nothing more.
There are only two wooden boards separating the three rooms, so I can clearly hear what's going on next door.
At this moment, the two rich second generations were playing cards with the artificial beauty, and the noise of the three people could be heard constantly.
