"The feathers of the katydids are flying, and the descendants of Yi'er are shaking."
"The katydid feathers are like dying. The descendants of Yi'er are like ropes."
"The katydid feathers are bowing to each other. The descendants of Yi'er are hibernating."
At the intersection, several young children were chasing each other and playing.
They clapped their hands and hummed an indistinct tune—probably a local folk song, right?
A bright smile filled the little face that was dark and rough, shaped by the sun and sea breeze.
Wang Qing got out of the car.
Just seeing this harmonious atmosphere, my mood couldn't help but become more relaxed.
Along the way, the fatigue of the journey was relieved a lot.
She stood on the roadside and stopped to watch.
On both sides of the wide asphalt road, lush trees intertwined into a green shade.
The sun shines through the gaps in the leaves, casting mottled light and shadow.
The gentle wind blew by, mixed with the salty water vapor on the sea, like an invisible hand caressing her cheek.
This is a small seaside town.
Wang Qing raised his hand and tucked a strand of hair that had been blown away on his cheek behind his ear.
Turning around, he saw the butler and the driver walking around behind the car, preparing to take the luggage out of the trunk of the car.
"Oh, I still have my luggage."
Wang Qing, who had been used to doing this kind of thing since he was in college, when he saw this scene, he immediately stepped forward in three steps at a time.
She inserted herself directly between the two people who were moving, held a suitcase in one hand, and lifted it up easily.
The butler's expression went blank for a moment, and his outstretched hand stopped in mid-air.
He lowered his head and looked at the two heavy suitcases Wang Qing was carrying in his hands.
He raised his head again and looked at Wang Qing, who had a calm expression on his face.
The butler's face, which was always smiling, showed some hesitation.
After a long while, he still struggled and said: "Ms. Wang, just leave your luggage to me."
Wang Qing weighed the suitcase in his hand, "Hey, no need, just take it easy."
With that said, he was about to walk into the town.
The housekeeper hurriedly caught up with him and walked side by side with Wang Qing.
"Ahem," the housekeeper coughed, lowered his voice, and reminded Wang Qing, "Ms. Wang, you are the boss."
Wang Qing paused.
She almost forgot that she was the boss now.
Carrying luggage can be left to subordinates.
"Okay, you can carry it."
Wang Qing turned around and handed the two suitcases into the butler's hands.
The two of them walked along the asphalt road towards the town.
This asphalt road is the only land route into and out of this coastal town.
On this trip, there were only two people, Wang Qing and the housekeeper.
The driver who drove the two of them stood at the intersection, leaning on the parked car, watching them walk into the town together.
Until the figures of the two people became farther and farther away, smaller and smaller, and gradually became less clear.
The driver, who was wearing a black suit and red tie, walked back to the driver's seat, opened the door and got in.
Soon, the car left the town.
Disappeared into the vast gray-white mist.
On the street, several children were chasing and fighting.
While clapping and singing, everyone was smiling.
Suddenly, something fell out of a child's eyes.
But no one seemed to notice.
They sang and danced and gradually walked away.
On the ground, there was only a small dark green mass with an unclear shape.
Like some kind of insect, the corpse left behind after being crushed.
At this time, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon.
Wang Qing and the housekeeper arrived at the only hotel in the town.
The hotel proprietress was sitting behind the counter, fiddling with her abacus boredly.
I heard the sound of the wind chimes beside the door being moved when the guests came in.
She raised her head and flashed a warm smile expertly.
"welcome."
The landlady looked at the man and woman who walked in.
"Are you two couples here for vacation?"
As soon as I walked in, before I had time to take in the environment of the hotel, I was greeted by such an inquiry.
Wang Qing was confused: "What?"
She turned her head and looked around. Except for herself and the housekeeper, there was no one else.
The landlady should be asking no one else.
The landlady stared at Wang Qing and said with a smile: "We are a famous resort here. Usually couples or newlyweds come here for their honeymoon... Are you two a couple?"
"Ah, no, no, no," Wang Qing quickly denied subconsciously, "We are..."
She suddenly got stuck.
The housekeeper took a step forward at the right time, looked at the landlady, and explained: "This is my employer, Ms. Wang, and I am her housekeeper."
"Oh~ It's the relationship between the lady and the housekeeper." The landlady responded meaningfully, with a thoughtful look on her face.
The butler just smiled and didn't say anything.
The landlady took the house book, looked down at it for a moment, then raised her head to look at the housekeeper.
She is a plump and round woman with long black silky hair and gentle dark brown eyes.
She was not pretty, her cheeks were roughened by the sea breeze, and there were dots of freckles scattered on both sides of her nose.
But her body exudes the charm and beauty of a mature woman.
When a pair of eyes looks at people, they seem to be filled with deep affection.
After hearing that the two of them were not a couple, her eyes became much thicker when she looked at the housekeeper.
"Are you two going to rent two rooms?"
The landlady looked directly at the housekeeper with her eyes, her voice became softer and softer, and she revealed a strange charm.
Before the housekeeper could say anything, Wang Qing had already nodded and said, "Yeah, two rooms!"
The landlady smiled, lowered her head and took out two room cards from the drawer, spread them out in her hands, and motioned for the housekeeper to come forward and get them.
As soon as the housekeeper took a step forward, Wang Qing had already taken the lead and rushed out from behind him.
He went straight to the counter and picked up the two room cards from the landlady's hand.
The landlady was stunned.
The housekeeper was also stunned.
Wang Qing turned his head and glanced at the boxes held in the butler's hands.
The housekeeper had both hands carrying the suitcase, so of course she needed to get the key card.
Alas, bosses who consider their employees like her are really rare.
Wang Qing glanced at the number on the room card.
One is 306 and the other is 309.
They are both on the 3rd floor, but they are not two rooms next to each other.
Wang Qing greeted the housekeeper and walked upstairs.
The butler picked up his suitcase and followed.
The two of them coincidentally ignored the yellow notice posted at the entrance of the stairs.
Probably because we were at the beach, the air was very humid.
Although the hotel is cleaned every day, there are still mold spots on the walls on both sides of the corridor.
On the ground, if you look carefully, you will also find some traces of mildew.
Wang Qing walked to room 306.
He took out his room card and swiped the door lock.
I pushed open the door of 306 and carefully observed the entire room.
Wang Qing breathed a sigh of relief.
She had seen so much mold in the corridor just now, and she thought it would be like this in the room as well.
But, perhaps, it's because this room faces the sun. The walls and floors in the room are clean, without any trace of mold growth.
After watching 306, Wang Qing went to 309 again.
309 is next to the opposite door of 306, a shady guest room.
As soon as he entered the room, Wang Qing felt a sense of dampness.
As expected, some traces of mold were found in the corner of the bathroom.
