Sister Hua chuckled: "What's the matter? Look at how cold you are. There are no local people like you. Besides, your accent is not local."
"Then... Sister Hua, I want to ask you, a while ago, was there any pretty girl who came here with a non-local accent?" Has Sister Hua met Liang Yue?
Sister Hua blinked her eyes: "I said brother, this salt water town may not be big, but when it's the season of releasing rice dumplings, there are people coming and going. How can your sister Hua remember everyone?"
The third uncle waved his hand: "Yangzi, don't ask for now. Sister Hua, hurry up and prepare a room for us."
Sister Hua responded, and asked for the ID cards of my third uncle and me to register, and kept muttering: "You are lucky, if I catch up with the release, my shop will be full, you guys, You have to sleep on the street."
I know that the discharge in Sister Hua's mouth should mean cutting wood from the forest farm on the mountain.I said with a smile: "Sister Hua, didn't you just say that even if there is no room, you can give us your room?"
After Sister Hua finished the registration, she handed her ID card to me: "That is. Don't worry, with Sister Hua, there is a place for you to live."
I got the key card and was about to go upstairs with my third uncle when Sister Hua stopped me.
Sister Hua handed over the book she had registered: "Both of you, sign your names and press your fingerprints."
With that said, Sister Hua handed over another box of ink pads.
I was stunned: "Fingerprint? When did this hotel have this rule? Didn't you read your ID card?"
Sister Hua shook her head: "No way, on our side, by this time, there will be many criminals coming to steal trees. So the police station here specially explained that all the residents who come here must sign and press their fingerprints to make a record .”
The third uncle and I had no choice but to sign, and each pressed the ink pad, and pressed our own fingerprints on the name.
Then, I took the room card and my third uncle went up to the second floor, found the room and entered the door.
This hotel is not big, but the room is very clean. There is a faint smell of tree oil in the room, which may be related to the forest farms nearby.
After entering the room, the third uncle threw his backpack on the table and said, "I feel that this place should not be far from the place Lao Xiao said. You can call Lao Xiao and see if you can get through?"
I took out my phone and made a call.That phone number was the number that Lao Xiao called Wu Tianyou, and it was a local landline number.On the way, we called countless times, but no one answered.
It's the same this time.I put down the phone and shook my head.
The third uncle nodded: "Forget it, let's rest for a while. I will talk to the proprietress when I turn around. How do I feel that when you asked her if she saw a girl, she was a little hesitant to speak? No way. Well, I can really get some information from her."
I smiled and said, "Third Uncle, I feel that this proprietress is a little bit interested in you. You can see that her eyes are full of spring when she looks at you."
The third uncle scolded: "Fuck. How dare you kid make fun of your third uncle? Look at her, who is not in the spring?"
I shook my head, and said solemnly: "No, no, she sees you absolutely differently. If you have time, Third Uncle, you can use formulas with her, she must know everything about you."
"You don't seem to be tired, kid? You still have enough firepower. Third Uncle can't do it anymore. I'll go to bed first." Third Uncle yawned, took off his coat, and lay down on the bed.
This room has heating unique to the north, so the room is very warm. Just coming in from the outside, the body feels very comfortable.
Chapter 369
I went to the bathroom to wash my face briefly, and then lay on the bed.
It would be a lie to say that I am not tired. As soon as I lay down, I felt sleepy and soon fell asleep.
This small town is very quiet at night. Although it is facing the street, there are no large vehicles driving on the street, and almost no pedestrians walking around, so the ears are much quieter.
I didn't know how long I had been in a sound sleep before I heard a little sound in my ear.
The sound seemed to come from the corridor, like footsteps.
At first, I thought there were other residents walking around.But I vaguely felt that the footsteps stopped at the door of our room.
People's feelings are sometimes very strange. Although I am in a state of sleep, my body's senses can accurately capture such a strange situation.
I opened my eyes suddenly, the drowsiness faded away quickly, and I listened attentively.
But when I listened carefully, it seemed that the footsteps disappeared.Deathly silence returned to the corridor.
Now there is a dead silence all around, but there seems to be something wrong with this silence.It shouldn't be so quiet, at least...should have heard my third uncle's snoring?
Among the people I have lived with, my third uncle's snoring can be ranked second.The first place is Fatty Pang Dahai. If the third uncle is willing to admit it, he should be in the second place.The snores of the two of them are definitely comparable. Although they are not as loud as Fatty's, they each have their own characteristics and rhythms.
It's just that the third uncle never admits that he snores. He always says that a person who cultivates the Tao, clears the air into the body, and when he sleeps and breathes, the exhaust gas in the body will also be naturally expelled from the body.Snoring is a manifestation of poor exhaust for people like me who do not practice Taoism, and it should not happen to him.
I even broke up with him because of this, I said that he usually comes with all the wine and meat, it is not a practice at all, and he has no clear energy to enter the body.
For this reason, Uncle San was in a hurry with me.
So today my ears are so clean, I feel something is wrong.
It was pitch black in the room at this time, but it was surprisingly quiet.I hurriedly jumped from the bed to the ground, fumbled for the switch, and turned on the lights in the room.
I first looked towards my third uncle's bed.
Sure enough, as I expected, his quilt was scattered on the bed, but there was no one on it.I leaned over and touched the quilt with my hand, there was still third uncle's warmth on it.
There was a buzz in my head, this is not the first time he has disappeared around me.Uncle San is more conceited and likes to make his own decisions when encountering things.But every time, he would make a lot of trouble.
As soon as we settled down in this salt water town, he made such a move, which made me scold him in my heart.
But after a while, I forced myself to calm down, and analyzed whether the footsteps I heard just now belonged to my third uncle?
Thinking of this, I suddenly became enlightened.This must be the case, this guy, Uncle, went to find the proprietress behind my back, right?
If so, he really opened my eyes.
I hurriedly put on my shoes, put on my clothes, walked to the door lightly, and pushed the door open a crack.
A dim light was on in the corridor, but no one moved.I walked out of the door gently, walked along the corridor to the stairs, and followed the stairs to the first floor.
As soon as I reached the first floor, I heard the sound of the night wind outside.
When I was on the second floor just now, I heard the silence outside.As soon as I got to the first floor, I found that it was windy outside.
The wind blew the two doors of the inn rattling.Although the door was bolted inside, the wind seemed to blow the door open.
The strange thing is that there is no light on this floor, but a candle is lit on the counter.
The candle was quite thick, about the thickness of a rolling pin, and the candle on it was burning brightly, fluttering and wobbling due to the wind blowing through the crack in the door.The light and shadow in the room were also blurred by the candle.
I was shocked. This scene was a bit weird, and I couldn't help but get goosebumps.
But I shook my head again, now I am also nervous, and I will think in that direction wherever I go.Maybe it was the proprietress who lit the candles in order to save some money.After all, when my third uncle and I came to this store, we didn't see the second group of customers except ourselves.
I walked to the counter, but found that there was no one in the counter.Not only was the third uncle gone, but even the proprietress was gone.
I listened carefully, and besides the wind outside, I also heard a little strange sound.
The sound didn't come from the hall, it seemed to come from another direction.
I turned around to look for it, and found a door in a corner of the hall, which was ajar.
Since it was also my first time here, I didn't know what was behind that door.
But now that my third uncle is missing, I can only touch it to have a look.If it was the third uncle who came over on his own initiative, I am worried that like last time, the third uncle was confused by the sound of the flute and left our room passively.
Thinking about it carefully, it is not impossible.We followed in the footsteps of Liang Yue and came to this salt water town.Since Liang Yue and Lao Xiao were already in trouble, no one could be sure that there was nothing strange in Yanyan Town.
Judging from the direction of the door, this door should lead to the back room or the backyard of the hotel.
From the crack of the open door, I could feel a cool breeze blowing.It seems that the back of the door is not a room, but leads to the outside.So I judged that the backyard of this hotel should be behind this door.
Fearing that I would be abrupt or make a wrong judgment, I stood at the door and coughed lightly, then asked in a low voice, "Is anyone there?"
Except for the wind, I didn't hear any voice responding to me.
I asked three times in a row, still no one answered.The proprietress seemed to only receive our group of guests, so she closed the shop.
From this, I had an ominous premonition again, we couldn't live in a black shop, could we?
Since no one answered, I bravely pushed the door open.
As soon as the door was opened, a gust of cold wind came blowing towards the face.I couldn't help shivering, I came out in a hurry, I didn't wear the down jacket.
Sure enough, we came to the backyard of the hotel. The moon was shining brightly in the sky. There were some flowers and plants growing randomly in the yard. It seemed that no one took care of them. They grew upside down and uneven.
A stone-paved path stretches forward at the foot.
I was standing on the path when I heard a rhythmic sound coming from ahead.The sound was rumbling and rumbling.It seems that something is rubbing against each other.
At this time, I didn't just want to find the third uncle in my heart.I also became curious. In the middle of the night, Sister Hua is not in front of the shop, what will she do in the back?
I stepped forward along the stone road, step by step.The cold wind blew, and I shivered a few times, and my teeth were chattering with the cold.
Chapter 370
I hugged my shoulders and tiptoed forward.Soon, they bypassed a bush, and a slightly wider open space appeared in front of them.
The sound seemed to come from there.
At the beginning, my sight was blocked, but when I turned around from an angle, rubbed my eyes and observed carefully, I saw a person standing there with his back to me.Since the light was fair, I recognized right away that the person was Sister Hua.
Because of her fancy dress, it was hard not to recognize her.
Sister Hua was staring at the front with all her attention, and didn't notice me behind me.
I hid myself behind the bushes, and looked into the clearing through a gap in the bushes.
I never thought that there was a pair of stone millstones on the open space.
There are two people, each holding the two ends of the millstone pole, and they keep turning it in circles. They are grinding.
The upper and lower grinding discs rub against each other alternately, making a rumbling sound.
It turned out that what I heard in the lobby of the hotel was the sound of grinding.
I was very curious. In the middle of the night, Sister Hua actually got two people to push the mill.In the countryside, don’t donkeys are used to grind mills?What kind of urgent work is this that needs to be grinded by servants in the middle of the night?
Looking at the two people who were pushing the mill, they both pushed the mill rod with sullen heads.
The moonlight shone on the open space, and due to the backlight, the faces of the two people could not be seen clearly.However, one of the figures of those two people was very familiar to me.
And at this time, following the two people, they turned around the millstone in a different direction.I looked at the person I knew very well, and turned my face this way.
It doesn't matter if I look at it, but when I saw the man's face clearly, I was so scared that I almost screamed out.
Because the one who is grinding the mill is clearly my third uncle.
Under the pale moonlight, Third Uncle's face looked very indifferent, with no expression at all.
My heart sank, and I remembered what happened in the underground parking lot of Tianyou Square. The third uncle was controlled by the sound of the flute, and he was expressionless at that time.Could it be that he was tricked again this time?But why am I intact? Is it just the third uncle who has been controlled?
Fearing that I might be wrong, I rubbed my eyes vigorously, and when I looked over again, Third Uncle had already turned around the millstone.Another person was turning in my direction.
After the other person turned his face towards me and I saw it clearly, I quickly covered my mouth with my hand.Otherwise, I am really afraid that I will scream out, and if I fail, I will rush out.
I am more familiar with this face.
Because this person is actually me.
Strange things, one after another, each challenged my visual and sensory nerves to the utmost.How is this possible?
I pinched my thigh hard, and the pain told me that what I saw was not a hallucination.
I, who was grinding the millstone, had the same facial expression as my third uncle. I couldn't see emotions, as if I had been possessed by an evil spirit, and I just pushed the millstone with a sullen head.Lap after lap, there was no sign of stopping.
I was hiding in the bushes behind Sister Hua, so I couldn't see Sister Hua's expression.I don't know these things, did she do it?
Now that I'm here in good order, who's grinding the mill?Is it my soul?
Isn't that just a ghost?
Then when did my soul leave my body?Why do I feel nothing at all?
A series of questions gave me a headache.
In the end, I decided to venture out and see if Sister Hua was normal too?
I quietly raised my body, just about to go out from the bush.As a result, a person's hand suddenly patted on my shoulder.
Before I could scream, the man covered my mouth with his other hand.
I subconsciously wanted to resist, only to find a face appearing in front of my eyes.
It's Uncle San's old face.
He was winking at me, signaling me to be quiet.The heart that I was hanging on just fell down.Under the guidance of the third uncle, he quietly left the backyard and returned to the hotel lobby.
I glanced at the service desk, and sure enough, Sister Hua hadn't come back yet.
I pointed in the direction of the backyard: "Third Uncle, we... grind... what's going on?"
The third uncle made a silent gesture at me, and pulled me back into the room.
After closing the door, the third uncle breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Nephew, you have been with me for so long, why are you still so impatient? Didn't I tell you? Before you figured out the truth, Try not to expose yourself."
