Selena was still smiling all over her face: "Yeah, it's really like a hiking trip this time."
Luke no longer cared about the sensitive word she said about travel, and just nodded.
There is no one around, and a vast plain and woods in front of it, accompanied by the blood-red sunset, has a magnificent and desolate aesthetic feeling.
The two walked like this for half an hour, and Selena was suddenly pleasantly surprised: "Ah, there is a house there?"
Luke saw it too, and laughed too: "Okay, at least I can call someone for help."
The two walked for more than ten minutes and arrived in front of the house.
It was a one-story house with a large area and a striking signboard—hostel.
It was a hotel, but it had no name.
The two walked into the hotel, but there was no one in sight.
Luke shouted, "Is there anyone?"
After a moment of silence, a person emerged from a passage.
This is a middle-aged white man with an ordinary appearance and ordinary clothes, but a bit scruffy.
Selena frowned.
She doesn't discriminate against workers, and she grew up in rural Texas, so she can't care about that.
But the man in front of him had a messy beard, and the plaid shirt and jeans were dirty, as if they hadn't been washed for several days.
A few meters away, both of them could smell a strong body odor.
Are you still running a hotel like this? She complained in her heart.
Luke turned a blind eye, and just asked with a smile: "Excuse me, is there a phone here? Our car is broken down. I want to borrow the phone and ask the towing company."
The man snorted, "There's no phone here."
Luke: "Oh, is there a car here? Can you give us a ride?"
The man: "My wife drove to Wolfe Kerr to do some shopping, and she doesn't have a car for the time being. Well, so, can't you stay at the store?"
Luke and Selena looked at each other, and vaguely understood what this guy meant: If you don't pay for a night, there will be nothing in this store.
This kind of hotel is not characteristic of any country, as long as the hotel is in the wilderness, it is easy to have this kind of strange thing.
Looking at the sky outside the window, even if the two walked to Wolf Kerr, it was still late at night, and they still wanted to find a hotel to sleep.
After a while, the two opened two single rooms before Luke asked, "Excuse me, is there a "spare" phone or car here?"
The room fee for two rooms is ninety dollars, the owner must be telling the truth.
In the end, the shopkeeper told them that his wife would drive back from Wolf Kerr in the morning, and then he could take them there again.
Luke and Selena could only remain silent about this.
Then, the two went out, walked around the hotel, and found helplessly that there was really no car or phone here.
The hotel is such a big place, the outside is desolate, and it can be easily seen with a telephone line. The same is true for cars, and of course there is no mobile phone signal.
Selena: "Did we misunderstand him? Didn't he let us stay here for one night on purpose?"
Luke: "Hehe, I can only say that they did a good job."
The shopkeeper can find someone to deliver the goods and daily necessities regularly, but the passing passengers can't.
Thinking about the flat tires of his own car and the RV just now, he already understood what was going on.
Relying on mountains to eat mountains, relying on water to drink water, relying on roads, of course, will benefit from the benefits of passing vehicles.
But is it really okay to do this? What the hell, you guys don't even jointly operate the tow truck repair shop over there with Wolf Kerr, do you
He complained so much in his heart that he had already decided that this was a local snake hotel specially designed to trap passers-by.
You can earn a fortune from the room fee, earn a fortune from the food, and earn another fortune from towing and repairing the car. This is also a golden idea to get rich through hard work.
After getting this set up, if you don't pay hundreds of thousands of dollars for each car, you may not be able to reach Wolf Kerr.
When he got to Wolfker's side, he must report to the police station. If he couldn't deal with them, he would be disgusted with these guys who made money by crooked ways.
In the end, the two of them didn't dare to order food in this hotel. Looking at the owner's personal hygiene, they both wondered if there would be lice in the meal.
They can only buy some packaged ready-made food on the counter, such as sandwiches and canned food.
These things are also ridiculously expensive, and the price is directly twice as expensive as the supermarket in the city.
The two of them spent fifty dollars on casual food in the evening, and they couldn't even eat fast food in the city for this price.
According to the usual practice, Luke took Selena around for a while before it was almost dark.
When going to any place, it is very important to at least be familiar with the basic environment.
But without a car, the range they walked on foot was not too large.
After the two finished their walk after dinner, they returned to the hotel, and when they went in, they saw four familiar people.
A middle-aged couple, male and female teenagers, this is the family whose RV had a flat tire on the road just now.
Obviously, they also chose to advance on foot and arrived here as well.
Seeing Lu Ke and his wife, the middle-aged couple still greeted them.
After all, Luke and Selena's appearance and temperament are quite good. One is gentle and gentle, the other is beautiful and generous. Most people are willing to get close to this kind of person.
The two of Luke didn't go back to the house, and there wasn't even a TV when they went back. This hotel is an isolated place.
After chatting, I learned that the middle-aged man is Bob Carter, and he is a police detective in Cleveland.
Taking advantage of the vacation this time, I brought my family to Texas to experience the magnificent and beautiful scenery here.
The middle-aged woman is his wife Aisel, and the boys and girls are his eldest daughter Brenda and youngest son Bobby.
Brenda had nothing to do after graduating from high school, and Bobby was still a sophomore in high school.
Of course, it was Luke's guess that Brenda had nothing to do. After all, if you want to go to college after graduating from high school, it's either the start of school or finding a school at the last minute.
To go out to play leisurely like this, unless the family is rich and has already arranged everything in school, or it is a person like Brenda who has no plan to continue to study at university.
Bobby's high school has special circumstances and temporarily suspends classes for ten days.
Luke and the two didn't reveal their identities as police detectives, mainly because it was unnecessary.
They didn't come here to flex their muscles, they just came here for a round and then returned to Houston to report.
People on both sides were chatting, but Brenda was quite interested in Luke.
Apart from her father and younger brother, there are only two men left here.
Compared with the shopkeeper who slaughtered her family, she certainly prefers to chat with Luke, at least Luke is young and handsome.
The shopkeeper didn't make any movement, just poured himself a glass of wine and drank at the counter not far away.
At ten o'clock in the evening, the two of Luke got up and said goodbye and went back to the house.
After washing under the water, Luke told Selina to be careful. This is a wilderness after all, so pay attention to safety issues.
Selena gave him a supercilious look, but still agreed honestly.
