Chapter 91 Ghost Travel Town
The fat old woman deliberately let it slip: "The third rule is if someone talks to you at night, don't answer!"
"Then if I live in a youth hostel with only one bed, then the first and second items will not count?"
"That's for sure, just leave it to fate." She poured tea for me and said, "I only earn so much money for a bed, and I have to get you a master's ghost lamp. Do you know how expensive the wick is?
?”
"Hey, sister, didn't you say you wanted to change a room for me this morning? Do you still want to keep what you said this morning?"
"It's worth it. Are you agreeing?"
I had some doubts. Looking at her happy face, she seemed to have dug a hole for me to jump into.
The boss said happily: "Sister, if you really want to live in that house, I will arrange two lights for you."
Ha... I went, I am a big injustice.
"Thank you. Unless you choose it for me, I can't live in the house you mentioned."
"Ah?" The joy on the landlady's face disappeared completely: "This..."
"I won't beat around the bush with you anymore. You asked me to change a room, but it turned out to be an unreliable one. You wanted me to go in and be the scapegoat. I'm not an idiot!"
The landlady curled her lips and said: "Hey, you girl... you are too smart for your own good. Okay, I'm the one who said it all. I'll take you to choose a room."
It was already past eight o'clock in the evening, and the light from the white lantern outside jumped several times in succession.
The landlady picked up a bunch of keys and was about to ask me to go up, when she suddenly saw something and asked me to wait, saying she had a customer coming.
I was about to look outside when she pulled me over and put a straw hat on my head with a piece of white gauze woven on the edge of the straw hat.
"Just stand here and don't be curious about anything."
I nodded. Anyway, she was wearing a hat on her head, but her hat was smaller than the hat on my head.
I sat on the stool in front of the cashier. Then the lady boss took out a handful of braided black rope from the drawer, stood at the door and asked the air: "How many?"
"5. Go to the second floor, the first room, the beds are 13/15/18..."
I saw a group of green-faced ghosts lining up to go upstairs. They handed the money to the proprietress, then took the bracelets and put them on their hands.
It’s exactly as its name suggests, Ghost Travel Town.
The landlady didn't seem to know that I had opened my eyes. She saw me staring at the group of things and smiled: "Do you think it's strange? The hands can move on their own? This is the strange thing about our town."
I didn't say anything, and nodded cooperatively: "Ah? How could this happen?"
Seeing my expression, she became even more proud: "There is no other way, our town can only do this business."
"Come on, let's take you upstairs." She took my hand and walked to the fourth floor.
The further you go up, the darker the corridor becomes and the fewer candlesticks are lit.
"Why is it colder here than down there?" I felt a little cold and rubbed my arms: "And it's so dark! Can I choose the room below?"
"The third floor is full, but the fourth floor is still empty! Oh, don't worry, are you really afraid that I will trick you? There are people living on the fourth floor today." She pointed to room 403: "No, there are some in here.
A woman, she is a person."
"oh."
"Hehehe, she has been staying at my place for a week. She seems to be waiting for someone. I have even chatted with her. She is not married yet."
"Oh oh."
The landlady is a talkative person, so I just listened to her talk and didn't communicate with her much. He could still talk non-stop. "If you weren't a little girl, I would have to introduce her to you, maybe I could still do it."
Be a matchmaker."
"Wouldn't it be better to have two women?"
"ha?"
I smiled and said: "Hehehe, I like pretty sisters."
"Yes, everyone likes beautiful girls." The landlady took me to the end of the corridor and said, "This is the best room in our store. If you are interested, you can watch the sunrise tomorrow."
"Oh, but I want to choose the room over there." I pointed to the farthest room on the opposite side: "It's next door to that beautiful sister's. I like that room better."
The landlady looked at the room behind me reluctantly, as if she was very disappointed that I didn't stay in that room.
I walked to the front of the room and opened my hands to her: "Do you really want to live in this room?"
It’s just a trick to pretend to be mysterious, huh.
"That's right, this is it."
"Okay." The landlady put a bronze key in my hand: "I'll help you light the lamp later."
"Okay, thank you sister." I opened the door, and suddenly I felt gloomy, like falling into an ice hole.
The lion bracelet on my hand turned slightly red, and I quickly ran out of the room.
It was at this time that the woman in the room next to me came out. Her face was painted with peacock makeup, she was very stunning and beautiful.
I waved to her involuntarily and forgot to speak for a moment.
She was slightly surprised when she saw me, her thin lips parted slightly, and in the end she said nothing and slowly walked towards the stairs.
"Okay, I'll bring it to you in a moment." I heard the voice of the landlady in the corridor, and then she came to my room with three lights in her hand.
I stretched my head to look at the woman and asked, "Why is she wandering around outside? It's not that..."
"She, she is not an ordinary person, don't ask. I have a lot of guests coming soon, and I won't be able to greet you." The landlady skillfully lit three lamps, and the room didn't seem to be that cold anymore. "Remember not to leave at night."
Come out, don't talk to anyone, keep one of these three lights on no matter what... I'm leaving."
"Oh, what if I..." I looked at the dancing flame of the lamp and wanted to ask how I could find her if I had anything to do, but she had already run downstairs in a hurry.
I closed the door and calmed down.
I always felt that the landlady's reaction was not quite right. She asked me to go to the room in the corridor and only need to light two lamps, but this room needed three lamps. Also, did she look at my room when she went downstairs?
Laughed?
Her mouth seemed to be moving, as if she was speaking...what was the shape of her mouth saying?
It's a pity that I can't lip read.
"She was talking about finally delivering a living person."
"Ah?" I looked for the source of the voice in surprise, "Who is speaking?"
The voice came back to me again: "Here it is."
I searched around again, but I always felt that it was behind me, but it didn't seem to be the case.
"You idiot, I'm in your hands."
I then raised my arm and discovered the little lion. The little lion that pretended to be the river god at first, but I destroyed the idol, and was given to me as a gift by Bai Jiuyan.
I shook my wrist a few times: "Hey? You can talk!"
"Stop shaking, stop shaking, you're dizzy. I've always been able to talk, but you're too lazy to hear me."
"You actually said I'm not good at it." I waved my wrist for a while.
"Stop, stop, miss, it's my fault that you didn't hear the sound. But... the room you chose is really hard to describe."
