The restaurant owner smiled, then invited the two of them to sit down. After writing the menu, he went backstage.
After about ten minutes, the restaurant owner came to Zhang Fan with a tray with two special dishes on it.
"Little sir, please eat slowly. If you need anything, call me."
The hotel owner smiled.
"You sit down first."
Zhang Fan pressed his hand on the hotel owner.
The restaurant owner was startled for a moment, then sat next to Zhang Fan.
"The two people who called you just now don't have local accents. They are not from your place, right?"
Zhang Fan asked.
"no."
The hotel owner shook his head, "They are also tourists here. There are many farmhouses in our village, and he lives in our village."
Two days ago, I went back to my grandfather to inquire about some situations. After talking to my grandfather, I stayed at home for one night.
On the way to the hotel the next morning, I met two of them. They asked me which farmhouse was better, so I recommended to them my cousin’s farmhouse in our village.
My cousin is a diligent and honest man, and the farmyard he runs is indeed better than others.
I took the two of them to my cousin's farmyard and they felt fine.
On the way, we chatted and talked about my hotel. I told them the address of the hotel and asked them to come over and have a try when they had time. No, they came here today."
"That's right..." Zhang Fan nodded thoughtfully, "Besides talking about the restaurant, what else did you talk about?"
"Since the journey was relatively short, we just got to know each other and talked about my cousin's farmyard and my hotel, but nothing else."
The hotel owner replied.
After saying this, the hotel owner suddenly thought of something. He walked closer to Zhang Fan and whispered in Zhang Fan's ear warily: "Little sir, who are they?"
"They are just ordinary people. You don't have to worry too much. However, I need you to help me pay attention to them."
Zhang Fan replied.
"clear!"
The restaurant owner nodded, and then continued to whisper in Zhang Fan's ear, "Don't leave after you finish your meal in a while. Drink some tea here. After they leave, I will call my cousin.
Ask my cousin about their situation these days."
"Okay, then you go and do your work first."
Zhang Fan said to the hotel owner.
After finishing the meal, Zhang Fan sat in the restaurant for another half hour.
After the hotel owner sent the two people away, he came to Zhang Fan's side, picked up his cell phone, and dialed his cousin's number directly. The call was quickly connected.
"Hey, Xiaoqian."
A somewhat rough boy came over the phone.
"Cousin, I want to ask you something."
The hotel owner said.
"What do you want to say..."
"Where did the two people I brought over two days ago come from?"
"Judging from their ID card information, they came from East China Province."
The restaurant owner's cousin replied, and then asked, "Where did you meet them?"
"It's right at the entrance of our village."
The restaurant owner replied, "What's wrong?"
"These two men were behaving a little strangely."
After hearing what the restaurant owner's cousin said, Zhang Fan and the restaurant owner looked at each other.
"weird?
Why is it weird?"
The restaurant owner asked doubtfully.
"People who come here usually come to visit Huangshan. They have been here for two or three days and have not gone to the Huangshan scenic area. They only stay in the house and walk around the village. I have never encountered such a situation.
of tourists.”
The restaurant owner's cousin said.
"What is his purpose in going around the village?"
The hotel owner answered.
"have no idea."
The cousin of the restaurant owner shook his head, and then continued, "Today, they spent a whole day wandering around the village. They came back in the evening with excitement on their faces. I asked them if anything good had happened to them, but they didn't give me a reply.
Answer positively.
They probably went back to their room and took a shower, and then asked me about the location of your hotel. By the way, did they go to your hotel?"
"Here he is, he just left not long ago."
The hotel owner replied, "Apart from not going to the Huangshan Scenic Area to make you feel weird, are there any other places that make you feel weird?"
"Apart from this, if you ask me to tell you other weird things about these two people, I really can't tell you. However, they left a weird impression on me. I feel that everything they do is weird."
The restaurant owner's cousin said.
Hearing this, the restaurant owner laughed dryly and said: "Cousin, I'm very busy here, so I won't tell you anymore. We will talk when we have time. By the way, if you find anything weird about them again,
Please call me and let me know immediately."
"Okay, then you get busy."
The restaurant owner's cousin replied.
Afterwards, the two hung up the phone, and the restaurant owner turned his attention to Zhang Fan.
"well done."
Zhang Fan smiled.
The restaurant owner smiled.
"Tonight, if you have time, take me to your village to have a look."
Zhang Fan thought for a moment and said to the hotel owner.
There must be a reason why these two Taoist people do not go to Huangshan Scenic Area, but wander around the hotel owner's village every day.
"Okay, last time I went back, my grandpa said he wanted to eat pig's trotters. I had just stewed a pot of pig's trotters and wanted to send it to him tonight. We just happened to go back together. If you don't mind, let's go together tonight.
Have a drink?"
The restaurant owner looked at Zhang Fan and asked tentatively.
"good."
Zhang Fan smiled and nodded.
Zhang Fan was sitting and drinking tea in the restaurant, while the boss was busy working in the restaurant. It was already 10 o'clock in the evening. After the last table of guests left, the restaurant owner closed the door and went to the banquet. Then, he took the pig's trotters
, drove Zhang Fan back to their village.
The name of their village is Shanxia Village. This name is very appropriate. Their village is indeed at the foot of the mountain.
Their village is not far from Huangshan Mountain, about 3 kilometers away. Even if the road is difficult, it only takes seven or eight minutes to drive there.
The car stopped in front of a two-story building with a courtyard, which was the hotel owner's home.
The restaurant owner's parents and grandfather both live in this house. After all, the 90-year-old man needs someone to take care of him.
The hotel owner's parents had already gone to bed, but the lights in his 90-year-old grandfather's room were still on. Moreover, the sound of the TV was played very loudly, so the two old people went directly into the hotel owner's grandfather's room.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, the bald old man sitting in the room slowly turned his head, his eyes fell on Zhang Fan, and he glanced at Zhang Fan.
After Zhang Fan saw the face of the bald old man, Zhang Fan's pupils shrank slightly.
