Hope Coffee House

Chapter 74: Blood hot spring

Views:

Early the next morning, the three of them rented a car and drove to the Hot Spring Villa.

Wu Liang can drive, but he doesn't have a driver's license in this world, and Lu Yun doesn't even know if he has a driver's license. Among the three, only Wang Zhaozhao can drive.

It's just that Wang Zhaozhao's driving skills are not very good, and the mountain road is rugged, Wu Liang was almost shaken and vomited while sitting in the car.

It’s not that they don’t want to take a taxi, it’s just that the location of the hot spring villa is very remote. Even if the price is doubled, taxi drivers in Ningcheng are not willing to go there. At the same time, considering the return journey, although Wu Liang and the others can return to Ningcheng City at any time through the Hope Cafe area, but I hope that the secrets of the coffee house will be easily exposed. The best option is to drive there.

The location of the hot spring villa is so hidden that it cannot be found on any map on your mobile phone. There is a QR code on the back of the experience card. After scanning the code, a webpage will automatically pop up. You need to enter a long string of passwords scratched off the experience card. to enter.

On the webpage is a map marking the geographical location of the hot spring villa.

The car drove for two hours and finally arrived at the hot spring villa hidden on the mountainside of a remote mountain.

The surrounding area of the Hot Spring Villa is very remote, and not even a single house can be seen within a radius of dozens of miles.

There are many cars parked on both sides of the road at the main entrance of Hot Spring Villa, including not only expensive sports cars, SUVs worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, but also dilapidated vans, which look a bit weird.

Wang Zhaozhao drove the car rented by the three of them, carefully avoiding the sports cars, and finally parked the car in a parking space on the side of the road after spending a long time.

The so-called hot spring villa is a double-storey hot spring hotel in the shape of a zigzag covering a large area. The hotel is designed like a miniature city, with the hotel itself forming four walls.

The exterior walls of the hotel are all paved with blue-gray frosted stone bricks. In the middle of the city wall facing the road, there is a huge door opening, and an arched black double-open iron door stands in it. The iron door is nearly six meters long. High, the two bronze animal heads on the door latch are quite ferocious and lifelike.

Wang Zhaozhao looked up at the huge plaque above the dark iron door with the four characters "Hot Spring Villa". He couldn't help but muttered: "Is this really a hot spring resort hotel? Why does it look so gloomy..."

Wu Liang looked around. The hotel door was closed. The three of them could not see a single figure outside the door, and there was no sound around. It was indeed as Wang Zhaozhao said, very strange and eerie.

"Creak--"

There was a harsh sound, and Lu Yun had already walked to the huge iron door, and pushed the door open with both hands to create a gap for the two of them to walk together.

At this time, Lu Yun was pushing the iron door with both hands, looking back at Wu Liang and Wang Zhaozhao, looking slightly puzzled and asking: "Why don't you come in?"

Wu Liang and Wang Zhaozhao walked into the door quickly. Wu Liang glanced at the beating veins on the back of Lu Yun's hands and forehead, and then looked at his calm face, and couldn't help laughing.

After Wu Liang and Wang Zhaozhao came in, Lu Yun also turned around and walked into the door. Then he released his hands and the huge iron door closed with a harsh "creep" sound.

Lu Yun exhaled, slowly swung his arms, and walked towards Wu Liang and Wu Liang.

"Coach Lu, are you facially paralyzed or depressed? You're obviously so tired that your veins are bulging, but you still have an expressionless face. At least you have to show a little effort, so that we can help you push together." Wu Liang said with a smile. .

"If you look like you're struggling, can you save energy by pushing the iron door?" Lu Yun asked in confusion.

Wu Liang: “…”

"At least the boss and I can help you, handsome Lu, push the door open together." Wang Zhaozhao stuck out his tongue.

"You two are too weak to help." Lu Yun said calmly.

Wang Zhaozhao: "..."

In the spacious courtyard surrounded by the hotel, there are scattered open-air hot spring pools half-hidden among the green plants. When the warm water meets the cold winter air, a large amount of water mist is emitted in the courtyard, covering the hot spring pools. The outdoor hot spring in the courtyard looks like a fairyland.

The lobby of the hotel is in the center of the "city wall" opposite the iron gate. Different from the bare exterior, there are small courtyards on the first floor of the hotel facing the courtyard. They should be open-air private hot spring pools outside the balcony of each room. In order to protect the guests. Privacy, there are many green plants near the courtyard, and there are no passable roads.

To get to the lobby, the only way is through the misty open-air hot spring.

Wu Liang took the lead to walk towards the open-air hot spring, but Lu Yun suddenly pointed at the hot spring pool and said, "There is someone inside."

Wu Liang smiled and said: "Of course there will be people in the hot spring pool. Everyone is wearing swimsuits when bathing in the hot spring. It doesn't matter."

"Oh." Lu Yun nodded and followed Wu Liang's footsteps.

The open-air hot spring is very beautifully designed, with one pool for five steps and one pavilion for ten steps. The water in the pools has different colors and shapes, and it looks like a fairyland against the backdrop of various strange rocks and green plants.

Contrary to what Lu Yun said, Wu Liang and the others had already walked halfway through the journey, but they didn't see anyone in the bath.

Wang Zhaozhao looked at the slippery green pool water curiously and kept exclamating. He pulled Wu Liang and asked curiously: "Boss, are these colorful pool waters dyed?"

Wu Liang thought of the famous blood-red swimming pool in Xiang Kingdom in his previous life, shook his head and said with a smile: "Most of it is the color of the floor tiles in the pool that shows up in the sunlight."

Wang Zhaozhao pointed to the pool of blood-colored hot springs in front of the three of them on the left. He pulled Wu Liang with some fear and asked, "Boss, that red pool looks so dark. I also smelled a bit of fishy smell. Could it be blood?" Bar?"

Wu Liang looked at the hot spring pool pointed by Wang Zhaozhao. The pool was half blocked by several large rocks. The water exposed to the sight was thick red and exuded a faint fishy smell like blood. It did not look like clear water. The color reflected from the red tiles on the bottom of the pool.

"It really doesn't look like it. Come on, let's stop by and have a look." Wu Liang walked towards the strange blood-colored hot spring pool.

The closer they got to the bloody hot spring pool, the stronger the fishy smell became. When the three of them walked to the edge of the pool, the fishy smell coming from the water was even a bit choking.

There was no one in the pool. Wu Liang bent down and poured some water into his palm. Upon closer inspection, he saw that the water in the pool did have color. It was a turbid brown-red color. Against the background of the crimson tiles, it became a pool of blood-colored hot springs.

Wu Liang put the tip of his nose close to the pool water in his hand and smelled it, and guessed: "This pool water should be rich in iron, so it has a brownish-red color and a fishy smell."

After hearing Wu Liang's story, Wang Zhaozhao was no longer afraid. He squatted by the pool curiously, wanting to reach out and take a handful of hot spring water to take a look.

Lu Yun was still standing by the pool, looking straight into the center of the blood-colored water.

At this moment, a sudden change occurred.

Red bubbles appeared in the center of the pool water, and then the pool water splashed everywhere, and a huge shadow rushed out of the blood-red pool water.

"Ah-" Wang Zhaozhao, who was squatting by the pool, was startled, grabbed Wu Liang's calf and screamed.

"Hahahaha! Coward! Hahahaha..." A burst of unbridled laughter came.

Wu Liang was also shocked by this scene, but he didn't show it like Wang Zhaozhao did. He just took a step back slightly. When he heard the laughter, he looked closely and saw that it was a little boy of eight or nine years old.

The little boy was very thin and white, and the blue-purple blood vessels under his skin were clearly visible. He bent over and rubbed his belly vigorously while laughing. Wu Liang could even see the ribs on the little boy's back.

It seems that the little boy had just been soaking in the hot spring in this pool. When he heard Wang Zhaozhao's voice, he deliberately hid under the water. Because of the stone cover, no one noticed.

What a nasty naughty kid, Wu Liang cursed secretly and gently rubbed Wang Zhaozhao's head.

Hearing the little boy's laughter, Wang Zhaozhao also knew that it was a prank. Although his heart was beating wildly with fright, he still managed to stand up, thinking that he had just been frightened so much that he screamed and grabbed Wu Liang with all his strength. His calf could not help but blush with embarrassment.

"Children, don't you know that young ladies can't help being scared? How could you do such a prank?" Seeing that Wang Zhaozhao was so frightened, Wu Liang looked at the little boy and scolded him.

The little boy ignored Wu Liang at all, wiped the hot spring water on his face, looked at Lu Yun, who had always looked calm and unmoved, and asked in confusion: "How come you weren't scared?"

"I know you are here." Lu Yun said calmly.

"We were discovered? How unlucky." The little boy spat towards the ground, turned around and ran towards the depths of the hot spring hidden in the mist, and soon he was out of sight.
