Is there a clear stream above the clouds?
Chapter 22
The major inns, taverns, and small shops were all overcrowded, and I patiently asked several stores if they were still available, and the shops all waved their hands to indicate that they were full.
Until I asked about the first one I didn't know, named Li's Hotel, there was a sign at the door: Hit the tip, stay ......
"Xiao Er, is there any room available?" I asked casually, and I didn't hold out hope, I really can't find a secluded place to sleep overnight tonight, and then return to Dongliao City to stay for a few days and then come to find my senior brother.
The shopkeeper was hesitant, and his answer was not as happy as the previous ones.
When I saw him do this, I wondered, "Is there anything unspeakable about the store?"
The shopkeeper looked around cautiously, and then came up to me: "Girl, there is indeed a vacant room in this store, but it is ......."
When I saw that he was vague, I lowered my voice: "What's the matter? "
The shopkeeper hesitated for a while, and finally seemed to have made up his mind: "Hey, girl, that's the case, our store is not in the accommodation business, no, it's all because of this treasure banquet, so that there are a lot of guests staying overnight in our town at this time, and the inns in the town can't accommodate so many people, it's really overcrowded." He suddenly changed the topic: "Our shopkeeper Li, kind, we guys have been divided into a room to live in, but this is not because there are too many people staying in the house, so our shopkeeper said to clean up the upstairs rooms, and a few of our guys will be crowded into two rooms first." The other rooms are reserved for guests and are now full. "
I saw that he was right, but I heard it in a fog, and I picked up my hand and said, "This, what does this have to do with my stay here?"
The shopkeeper said again: "Don't worry, girl, the little one is about to say." He paused, and then continued, "Upstairs there are no more, no less, and only two rooms for our fellows to live in, but ah, we would rather be crammed into one room than the ......one at the end."
I wondered, "Why is that?"
The shopkeeper replied mysteriously, "That room, there are ghost ......."
I nodded knowingly, and then I was puzzled: "But the shopkeeper, you see I don't know how many inns I have asked, this accommodation business is really hot, not to mention the wings, even the shops have never been." Now only in your family can I hear that there is a vacant room, if you can't live, I'm afraid you will have to sleep on the streets tonight. "
The shopkeeper's expression was also very embarrassed, and then he asked me: "Girl, if you are sure that you want to live, I will go and ask our shopkeeper first." "
I replied, "Naturally, I want it, and I'm tired of the store." "
So the shopkeeper ran into the side of the store with a smoke.
After a while, he ran out: "Guest officer, please ~ Our shopkeeper said that if the girl insists on living, the room fee will be free, and you can live at will." "
I was a little embarrassed and said, "How can I do that?"
The shopkeeper replied: "This room has been vacant, girl, if you want to live, then live there." "
I didn't shirk anymore: "The bothersome shop is leading the way." "
The shopkeeper led me up to the second floor.
This small shop is very neat, and the first floor is a restaurant, which seems to be the business of diners all along.
On the second floor, on the corner of the upper floor, there is a row of wings.
The shopkeeper led me all the way inside to the last one.
As soon as he opened the door, the smell of rotting wood hit his face, and the dust floated in the wind.
The shopkeeper and I both coughed twice, and then fanned the ash in front of us with our hands.
The shopkeeper said: "It's this girl, you wait a while, I'll call someone to help you clean it out." With that, he ran away.
I went into the house alone.
The room was not as eerie as I had imagined, but it was also well-lit.
I stood by the open window and looked down, one side facing a quiet alley in the back, and the other side of the window facing the house next to it, and here I could see the black-tiled roof.
The view is wide.
It's just that this room hasn't been inhabited for a long time, and the floor, tabletop, and various countertops have accumulated a thin layer of dust.
After a while, the shopkeeper brought a few people, holding quilts and pillows, holding utensils in the house, carrying brooms and rags, and carrying copper basins filled with water, and a group of people came to clean my room lively.
While cleaning and chatting with me: "This room, there has been no one for about a year, and it was originally piled up with sundries, and it was not clear earlier, that is, about a year ago, the shopkeeper let the guys live in it, but ah, it was the 'that' who I just told you about who often comes out to play tricks on the people who live in a room." "
I listened absent-mindedly, for I was not afraid of these things, and had always been quite bold, so I casually answered, "What kind of trick is that?"
The shopkeeper replied: "That's a lot, there was a little Zhang in our store, he was the first to sleep in this room, he was obviously placed here at night, and when he woke up the next day, he was lying in a deserted grave outside the town. "
"Hey, that's scary. I snorted.
"And wow, the people who lived in the back said that when they fell asleep in the middle of the night, they faintly heard the laughter of children, but which child didn't sleep in the middle of the night? Moreover, only this room could hear it, and the people who slept in the other rooms said that they had not heard it. "
"What's so scary about a child's laughter?".
The shopkeeper didn't scare me, and looked at me with a pout: "It seems that the girl is a bold girl, and there are still many stories to tell! "
He looked around the room, saw that the cleaning was almost done, and then said: "Now I won't chat with the girl, the guests downstairs are still waiting to say hello, girl, you can take care of yourself first, if there is something to say hello, the small one is!".
I responded, "Well, I'm tired of arranging a light meal to bring to the room." "
The shopkeeper responded: "Okay, look at it! Our store is a time-honored hotel." So he led the men out of the room, and closed the door with me.
As soon as the person left, the room fell silent.
I could only hear the noisy sound of passers-by coming and going downstairs, and the faint cries of hawkers.
I sat idly in a chair by the window and looked down at the crowd downstairs.
Just after dinner, there were even more people on the street than just now.
I wandered around the room for a while, and it was indeed an ordinary room, with a wooden bed, a table, and chairs, and a pot of very bright red lily of the valley by the window, which was very well opened, and there were not many objects.
I just thought that the shopkeeper was making a big fuss, and I was relieved.
When I was quiet, I remembered the events of the morning......
Feng Mu, this person, said that he was chasing me to Dongliao City, but he was looking for other women.
I thought I had affection with the woman in green, and there was a dispute between the couple, and I wanted to use me to vinegar her, but I didn't accept it.
It's good that I ran in time, otherwise I would have been the boss of this wrong.
I raised my hand and looked at the wrench that Mrs. Yuan had given us.
This wrench is not suitable for wearing on the hand again, if the woman bumps into it, it must not be misunderstood.
Thinking about it, I pulled the wrench off my finger and put it into my baggage.
