Thinking about it, I couldn't help but stretched out, and the bones of my body made a slight "pop" sound, obviously because of the stiffness of maintaining a posture for too long.
"Mr. Hou, this is lunch for you, because I have to prepare for the party in the evening, and I still have things to work on, so I don’t have much to prepare. Forgive me!" I just hid the talisman in my pocket, just outside the door. Someone opened the door and came in, not tall, with a kind smile on his face, holding a tray with food in his hand, and it was the owner of this house.
I walked forward two steps calmly, caught the tray in the owner’s hand, and blocked the sight of the other person who was looking for it, I quickly thanked: "I’m really troubled you. I have to prepare for the party and help me. You don’t need to be so polite if you are ready to eat. I can just find something to pad."
This is what I said sincerely. Think about the days when I live in the wild, eat, live, and drink. It’s not bad. I am really casual about my material life. Sometimes I feel a little like it myself. Old Taoist.
"That's it, that's it, Mr. Hou, eat first, and I'll prepare bath water for you." The owner didn't insist upon seeing this, turned and walked outside.
I hurriedly stopped him: "No, it's not hot this day, so you don't need to take a bath every day, and it's too much trouble for you to boil water, so it's not a hassle."
"No trouble, no trouble, you are in the city, I know, people in the city love to hurry up, especially if there is a party tonight, you must wash it cleanly." The owner laughed again, showing a mouthful. Bai Sensen's teeth and smiling eyes narrowed.
Hearing his last words, and then thinking of the bones I found in the house, for no reason, I shuddered suddenly, and my whole body was shivering.
"Look at it, I'm shivering. I think I have caught a cold. Soak in a hot bath. Haha." The owner persuaded him again, then closed the door and left, as if he was afraid of my objection.
I don't know if it was my illusion. I felt that the gusset on the door seemed to "click", and there was a shadow outside in the crack of the door, as if someone hadn't left yet.
I hesitated, and pretended to cough twice: "Ahem, it seems to be a bit cold. A hot bath with bubbles like this is not bad. The owner is really good haha!"
Putting down the food, I grabbed a big white steamed bun and started to eat it.
After eating a steamed bun, I turned my head and glanced at the crack of the door, and found that the shadow had left, and the remaining two steamed buns, I immediately tucked them into my pockets. This was completely subconscious and perhaps also the anxiety in my heart. It reminds me to be cautious in everything, especially this kind of food.
Seeing the shadow leaving, I hurriedly put away all the symbolic things, locked the door, and started to sleep on the table.
When I opened my eyes again, I was awakened by a knock on the door.
Happiness! Happiness!
"Mr. Hou, the hot water is ready, you can go to the bathroom to take a shower." The owner patted the door vigorously outside.
Shaking my head, my consciousness suddenly became sober a lot. Only then did I remember that I was in a weird town, and I didn't find the person I should be looking for. On the contrary, I suddenly wanted to be unable to walk.
"Oh, okay." After a glance, I found that there was nothing shameless around me.
Quickly opened the door and looked at the owner apologetically: "I'm sorry, I fell asleep."
The host smiled more kindly and waved to me to follow him.
Shaky to follow the owner out the door. I realized that the sky had begun to darken, and the sky had turned into white eyes, and after a while, the sky would be completely dark.
"Now, this is the bathroom. Hot water, towels, and changes of clothes are here. Don't worry, everything I prepare for you is fresh and clean." The owner led me to a small room at the end of the corridor. Middle, pointed to the big wooden barrel and clothes hanger in the middle of the room and said.
Looking at the dim light from the small light bulb above my head, I was speechless for this bathroom with only one small door and small window. Why is the bathroom so gloomy! But after all, this is a small town with a small population. It can't be compared with the city. Thinking about it this way, I'm relieved again. Maybe this kind of bathroom is popular in this small town!
"That's OK, I'll go out first, and the party will start in a while. I'll be waiting for you there." The host saw that I was about to take a bath, turned around and went out, "Bang", and closed the door tightly.
Taking off my clothes, I carefully stepped into the wooden barrel. When the warm water spread across my chest, my whole body was wrapped in warm warmth, which made me hum and close my eyes comfortably. .
Water vapor filled the entire room, and I began to scrub the dirt on my body. Suddenly, my eyes swept away and noticed that there was a large piece of black on the ground, which seemed to show a hint of red. I suddenly felt in my heart. Not feeling well, I held some water in my hand and poured it on the stain.
After the hot water drenched, the stain began to change its color, and a red blood began to flow down the floor, and at the same time, there seemed to be a bloody smell in the air!
I'm going!
This is the bathroom. How can there be such a big blood stain in the bathroom? Seeing that, it shouldn't be formed in a short time. Does this bathroom still work part-time for other jobs? The more I thought about it, the more doubtful I became. I felt that this place was strange and terrifying, and I didn't have the thought of taking a bath. After a hasty wash twice, I quickly crawled out, put on my clothes and went out.
The street was very deserted at this time. Although the street lights on the side of the road were on, but no one was seen. A gust of wind blew me and I shivered again. After thinking about it, I followed the direction of the street to the central square where the party was held. Go.
Since the party is going to be held tonight, the townspeople who want to come to the town should be gathered there. Maybe I can ask someone to ask what the origin of this town is, and perhaps it will be able to solve my doubts.
After crossing a block, I finally saw people. Old people in twos and threes were slowly walking towards the square. Thinking that the young and middle-aged people are preparing for the party, I can only ask these people. .
I walked two steps quickly to catch up with the uncle nearest to me. I took a cigarette out of my pocket and passed it over: "Uncle, you look like you have lived in a small town for a long time. Ask you about it. What's the matter?"
The uncle was already old at the first glance, and his hair was all gray. Seeing me passing the cigarette, he smiled and reached out to take it. He opened half of his teeth and asked vaguely: "The youngest son, look at Noodles, come from outside! What do you want to ask?"
"Is that in this small town, is there an old man with a beautiful face, who specializes in funerals and the like?" I thought about it, and decided to inquire about the senior fellow who the old Taoist said.
The uncle waved his hand: "I don't know, I haven't heard of it."
"Then, do you know the origin of this small town? What's the story?" I sighed, and I changed the question.
The uncle waved his hand: "I don't know, I haven't heard of it."
Seeing my disbelieving look, the uncle added another sentence: "I haven't just moved here too long."
Yes, that cigarette was wasted, and no news was found.
I turned around and went to chat with other old people again. Without exception, I didn't find out anything. I didn't seem to understand what I was saying, or I shook my head to show that I didn't know.
After stopping and walking like this, I have already followed the flow of people to the square.
At this time, the square was full of lights and colorful, people coming and going, very lively. All the residents of the town came, men and women, old and young, most of them were drinking and chatting. From time to time, I could see a few children walking in the crowd, everyone's face was full of overflowing. With a cheerful smile, a bunch of gorgeous beauties are dancing on the stage.
I pretended to be happy and circled the stage, and took the opportunity to stick the talisman paper in my pocket around the stage. The reason for doing this was because I saw that it was the house owner who was accompaniing the stage and wanted to give it a try. Is there anything unusual about that guy
Then I mingled in the crowd, wandering around with a glass of wine in my hand, looking for opportunities to find young people to strike up a conversation with them and inquire about intelligence.
Not long after, a "bang" explosion sounded. I looked up and looked in the direction of the sound. It was the stage that exploded. As the gunpowder dissipated, I clearly saw the beauties on the stage. In an instant it became a group of bone racks, where is the charming appearance before!
damn it! What kind of person is this? Maybe it's all blindfold! I couldn't help but roar in my heart, fear almost submerged me like a tide, subconsciously, I turned around and ran out of the square.
call…
The wind sounded on me, I thought I ran a long way, but when I looked back, the square still seemed close at hand!
what happened? Is this meeting a ghost hitting the wall
I stopped, and subconsciously hid beside the building next to me, panting for breath.
"If I were you, would this be a foolish waste of your energy, let alone running away, you can't escape." Suddenly a cold voice sounded in my ears.
I shivered subconsciously, and there was a trace of joy in my heart. I turned my head and looked at the ghost in red who appeared next to me, with a look of doubt: "Eldest sister, you have appeared again. What do you mean by this?"
The red-robed ghost snorted, her eyes full of mockery: "It's not a good place to go, just listen to the old Taoist priest, come to this place of death!"
"It's not the eldest sister, don't talk cold words, you know what you know, please tell me." I see the temper of the red ghost girl seems to be coming up again, and quickly put his hands together to beg for mercy.
The probe looked at the direction of the square, and the female ghost in red threw out a sentence: "Cooperate with me to keep you safe, otherwise, that thing will definitely kill you, and your little life will be gone."
