Tang Xi and his group climbed to the top of the mountain at around four in the afternoon. Because they took care of Qi Sihui's physical strength and the scenery on the road was good, they often stopped to take pictures, but they fell behind.
There are many homestays on the top of the mountain, but the five-star hot spring hotel is still very eye-catching.
When I walked into the lobby, I happened to see two people arguing, one was the hotel staff, and the other was Han Zhen's group.
Tang Jing was not there. Apart from the trio of Han Zhen, Han Jia, and Xie Yujie, there were one man and four women, but Jiang Xiaoli was missing.
"It's really a narrow road to Yuanjia." Xia Shuang muttered angrily.
"Don't worry about them." Cheng Yihang said, and went to the front desk to check in.
In the car that arrived, the teacher who led the team had already stated the rules. Today Yigao booked the entire hot spring hotel, but in order to prevent everyone from rushing up the mountain to miss the scenery along the way, the room card is determined by lottery. You can only choose a double room or a triple room.
"We need two..."
"Three rooms." Tang Xi came over and interrupted with a smile.
"Hey, Xixi won't live with us?" Qi Sihui asked in surprise.
"It's not convenient." Tang Xi said vaguely.
There are still a few male ghosts in her bracelet. If there are other girls in the house and they are still in the hot spring, they can't be let out.
Xia Shuang reacted quite quickly this time, and quickly smoothed things over: "It's better to be spacious, anyway, we can go to the hot spring together at night."
"But..." the girl at the front desk was a little embarrassed, "It was agreed that two or three people would share a room. If I open a separate room for this student, and other students also want it, then we don't have enough rooms..."
"Xiao Zhang shut up!" Before she could finish her sentence, she saw a woman in her thirties walking over in high heels.
"Manager He." The girl at the front desk called out quickly.
"Hello, Ms. Tang." Manager He ignored his staff and handed a gold-plated room card to Tang Xi with a smile, "Boss Pei told us to give this room card to Miss Tang, and wish you all a good time. "
"Thank you." Tang Xi was stunned, and took it over, feeling a little warmth in her heart.
Sure enough, that man was the most considerate in his work. She sent a text message to report hunting and killing wild animals on the way, and Pei Qingzhi immediately asked someone to prepare the room.
Cheng Yihang shrugged, went to draw two more room cards, and handed one to Xia Shuang.
The rooms on the second floor are not good or bad, but fortunately they are adjacent.
"Why can she break the rules!" Suddenly, a sharp female voice came from the side.
"Let's go." Without turning her head, Tang Xi beckoned her companions to follow the waiter to the back.
Manager He tidied up the creased suit on his body from running over in a hurry, and walked over with a professional smile on his face.
"Okay, stop making trouble." Han Zhen interrupted impatiently, picked up her bag, took the room card and left.
It's no secret that Tang Xi and Pei Qingzhi have a good friendship, but at Pei Qingzhi's birthday party, he gave an oversized Hello Kitty doll, and the owner even decorated it in his room. What's more, that room card is special. It is not an open area today. If there is any dispute, women are troublesome!
He couldn't help but think of Tang Jing in the past, gentle and lovely, acting like a baby occasionally was also fun, and never made him feel uncomfortable. It's just... It seems that since Tang Xi appeared, that innocent childhood sweetheart has slowly changed into a different person. Now that the filth of the Tang family has been spread out, he knows best that his family will never allow him and Tang Jing to continue to be together, to fight... He even finds it incredible, because he has no idea of fighting.
It's not that I don't dare to resist the family, nor that I don't love Tang Jing, it's just... tired.
Especially in the past half a year or so, even when they were together with Tang Jing, they still couldn't get back the tacit understanding and sweetness they had at the beginning.
He didn't know whether it was she who had changed or himself, but he was powerless to change the ending that was drifting away.
All that was left was exhausted physically and mentally.
If Tang Xi knew Han Zhen's psychology, she might praise him for his sensitivity.
This world is no longer a cold novel, but a world of flesh and blood. No one is a tool person. How could Tang Jing think that she can accept her feelings logically by taking the place of the heroine in the book? No matter love and family affection, they are two-way, a little bit of running-in in getting along, and finally it will be a matter of course. And the core has been changed, can it still be exactly the same as before? Too stupid.
"Our room goes up from here." Cheng Yihang stopped at the elevator entrance.
Tang Xi looked down at her own card that didn't even have a room number, and was troubled.
"Miss Tang, please go this way." The waiter who led the way said respectfully.
Mr. Pei has never entertained guests to live there, and it is always open for use when he or the old man comes.
"Then I'll see you at dinner, let's go to tidy up first." Qi Sihui said.
"Okay." Tang Xi nodded, followed the waiter and continued to walk in.
However, the waiter led her out of the main building from the back, walked along the cobbled path for a while, and saw a two-story building that looked like a small villa.
"Miss Tang, that's the place Mr. Pei arranged for you. It has a separate hot spring. Mr. Pei said that Ms. Tang can use the rooms and equipment as she pleases," the waiter said.
"Thank you." Tang Xi thanked her, swiped her card to open the door and walked in.
Sure enough, although the villa is not big, it has all internal organs. The master bedroom with a hug opens the balcony door, and it is a semi-open-air hot spring. The eaves extending from the main body of the villa only cover half of the hot spring. You can soak in the hot springs while looking at the mountain scenery in the distance.
She threw the backpack on the bed casually, touched the bracelet, and said with a smile: "Don't worry about me, it's rare to come out, go and play by yourself."
As soon as the words fell, the room was filled with ghosts.
When she came out this time, she brought out all the ghosts in the house, not even Aunt Zhang.
It's a rare vacation, of course the whole family needs to go out and relax together, so it's hard for Pei Qingzhi to understand her so well and directly prepare such a big villa.
"The hot spring here belongs to Xiao Xi, let's go to the back, you stinky men are absolutely not allowed to come in, do you hear me!" Su Huang started to chase people away ferociously.
All the ghosts dispersed immediately.
Of course, ghosts have no sense of touch, even if they soak in hot springs, they can't feel it, but the mountains and rivers here are beautiful, and the scenery is not bad.
In an instant, Tang Xi was the only one left in the room.
"Aren't you going around?" Tang Xi smiled.
"It's boring." Yun Qi appeared beside her, and said calmly, "Speaking of which, the evil spirit felt on the other side of the mountain is not so simple."
"Oh?" Tang Xi was stunned, and said in surprise, "Isn't it just a fierce beast that is about to take shape?"
"Although it is still one step away from becoming evil, it has already achieved a little bit of Taoism." Yun Qi said in a deep voice, "Fortunately, you didn't eat that meat."
"What will happen if you eat it?" Tang Xi's expression was a little strange.
They didn't eat, but when she entered the store, there were already many people eating, and most of them ate meat.
"Eat it by mistake, that's the extent of having a few nightmares tonight, but..." Yun Qi said, and paused in deep thought.
"But what, tell me." Tang Xi tugged at his sleeve.
"However, if you have a criminal record, it's hard to say." Yun Qi finished speaking.
"Having a criminal record means..." Tang Xi was a little uncertain.
"It's just that those rich second generations burn their hands with too much money, and eat whatever they can't eat. It's not that they don't report it, and the time hasn't come yet," Yun Qi said.
"So?" Tang Xi twitched the corner of her mouth.
"I'm already burdened with heinous crimes, but I can't say what will happen if I'm aroused by this evil spirit." Yun Qi shook his head.
"Ah..." Tang Xi sighed, and fell back on the big soft bed, complaining, "I'm here for vacation, not for trouble!"
"You want to take care of it?" Yun Qi asked.
"If something really happened, can I just ignore it?" Tang Xi looked hopeless.
Although those children made mistakes, as a celestial master, she couldn't allow them to be devoured by evil spirits, the world has its own laws.
Yun Qi shrugged, walked out of the balcony, looked around, and floated up the sloping eaves above the hot spring.
Tang Xi sat up and looked outside, just in time to see the setting sun, and a cloud of burning clouds in the sky, like the color of blood.
"How is your spiritual power recovering?" Yun Qi's voice came from above.
"It's a blessing in disguise, and it has basically returned to the level of its former heyday, but the physical fitness of this body is still a bit worse." Tang Xi raised his eyebrows, "What about you?"
"Half." Yun Qi wrote lightly.
"So slow?" Tang Xi asked.
"It hurts the soul, it's not too late." Yun Qi didn't care, "Half the strength is enough, not to mention there is a contract between us. After you recover, it will also speed up my recovery. It will only take a year or so. .”
"That's good." Tang Xi let out a long breath.
Whether it is the ghost gate pressing on her heart or the endless troubles, she deeply understands that only strength is the most real thing in this world.
As long as she and Yun Qi can regain the strength of the previous life, plus Su Huang and the others, then she has the confidence to overcome any difficulties she encounters.
"Tell your friends, try not to go out at night, especially don't leave the viewing area." Yun Qi reminded.
"Understood." Tang Xi said, opened the backpack, sorted the daily necessities he brought, and then took a shower and changed his clothes.
Before going to join Cheng Yihang's people, she waved her hand and arranged a barrier to envelop the villa. Her ghost has her spiritual power on her body, and she can go in and out freely, but other things will be blocked.
"Xixi, here!" Xia Shuang and Qi Sihui also changed their clothes and stood at the corner of the corridor waving.
Tang Xi quickened his pace and trotted over.
Dinner is a buffet with all kinds of Chinese and Western dishes. For those who like exotic tastes, there are also classic Japanese and French dishes. If you really don’t like it, you can also order dishes for the chef to cook.
Cheng Yihang just picked up a freshly grilled steak and put it on his tray, when he suddenly remembered something, he turned his head and asked hesitantly, "Is this place clean?"
"No problem." Tang Xi smiled, and ordered a veal steak, "After all, it's Pei Qingzhi's place."
"Speaking of which, at noon, Xixi, you were right when you said that the restaurant on the mountainside was not clean." Xia Shuang said suddenly.
"What?" Tang Xi was taken aback.
"I just saw Xie Yujie coming out of the toilet with a blue face. It's probably because of a bad stomach." Xia Shuang shrugged, gloating a little.
"Just him?" Tang Xi asked.
"There are quite a few, that's why I said that the store must not be clean." Xia Shuang replied.
"Never mind them, a diarrhea won't kill anyone." Shi Rui interjected.
"Dinner, don't talk about this." Qi Sihui protested softly.
Several people quickly took a pile of food, found an empty table and sat down to eat.
I only ate a bowl of plain noodles at noon, and the consumption was so large, especially the two boys, who were already hungry.
"Hello." Xia Shuang, who was facing the restaurant's door, kicked Yihang under the table.
"What?" Cheng Yihang looked up at her.
"Han Zhen has been in and out several times, what's going on?" Xia Shuang muttered.
"You care so much about him." Cheng Yihang took a cake for her, "Hurry up and eat!"
"That's right, I have to digest it before going to the hot spring after eating." Qi Sihui also said.
"Speaking of which, there are several hot springs here, but you need to make an appointment for the small pool. I booked the one at 7:30. I don't want to go to the hot spring with someone I don't know well, just the three of us." Xia Shuang said proudly.
"You and Sihui go, I'll forget it." Tang Xi slowly rolled up the pasta on the plate with a fork.
"Why?" Xia Shuang was taken aback.
"I'm not used to it." Tang Xi shook his head.
Her bracelets are afraid of water, and it would be even worse if they are immersed in natural hot spring water with sulfur, but she is absolutely worried about taking them off outside.
Xia Shuang and Qi Sihui looked at each other.
However, there are people who don't like the sulfur smell in the hot spring, and the two of them didn't think too much about it.
After dinner, we strolled around to eliminate food, the two girls chatted and laughed and went back with their bathrobes.
"Aren't you going?" Tang Xi wondered.
"I don't like it very much either." Cheng Yihang shook his head.
"I don't want to go alone, why don't we play billiards?" Shi Rui said enthusiastically.
"I won't." Tang Xi spread her hands.
"You still can't do it?" Shi Rui suddenly became excited, patted his chest and vowed, "I'll teach you, guarantee the church!"
"Then please." Tang Xi also smiled.
The three of them were about to go to the billiard room on the first basement floor, but they almost collided with Han Zhen who rushed in.
"Sorry." Han Zhen didn't seem to notice who he almost bumped into, hurriedly left a sentence, and ran to the front desk.
"What's wrong with being reckless." Shi Rui complained unhappily.
Tang Xi frowned slightly.
"Let's go."
However, when the three of them came out after playing in the billiard room for more than an hour, they saw Manager He standing in the middle of the lobby, talking on the walkie-talkie with a serious face, but the hotel staff and security were much less.
"Did something happen?" Cheng Yihang asked.
"I'll ask." Tang Xi read that it was Pei Qingzhi's property after all, Manager He gave her the room card and walked over directly.
"Okay, I see, you guys continue to look around." Manager He put the walkie-talkie on, turned around to see them, and asked in surprise, "Miss Tang, what's the matter?"
"What happened?" Tang Xi asked directly.
"It's the students from your school trip who disappeared." Manager He frowned, with a bit of displeasure in his tone, "I said before dinner that I was going to find the sika deer, but I haven't come back until now, and the restaurant has been closed long ago. Those children couldn't find anyone, and no one answered their mobile phones, so they asked the staff to help them find them. There are such tourists every year. Luming Mountain has a large area and many places are not developed. It is very dangerous to leave the viewing area at will! Especially now that it is already dark, it will be even more troublesome if you get lost."
Hearing this, Tang Xi went to look at Han Zhen who was talking to the two teachers who were leading the team not far away, and her heart moved slightly.
The missing one is Han Zhen's classmate? He is so nervous, could it be Han Jia? Speaking of which, it is true that Han Jia has not been seen since dinner, and two of the girls who were with them have also disappeared.
"It's none of our business, right?" Shi Ruiman said indifferently.
Tang Xi looked at the dark sky outside, turned on the phone and took a look, it was almost nine o'clock.
"You want to take care of it?" Cheng Yihang said.
"Probably influenced by some bastard." Tang Xi sighed, grabbed a handful of hair, and walked over there.
"So, classmate Han Zhen, so many grown-ups have already gone out to look for her, you should go back to your room and wait, nothing will happen." Ning Yilan comforted her gently, carefully hiding the worry in her eyes.
"But… "
"Excuse me." Tang Xi interrupted Han Zhen and asked directly, "Who is missing?"
Han Zhen was startled, a little suspicious, and didn't answer aloud.
"Who is missing, maybe I have seen it." Tang Xi asked again.
Han Zhen looked at her for a while, and finally said: "Han Jia, Zhang Mei, and Liu Weiwei, we came up together. They put their luggage and said to go out to see if there are sika deer. They haven't returned yet."
Tang Xi had a bad feeling when she heard the name, and sure enough...
She remembered that she glanced at it before, and didn't know who Liu Weiwei was, but Han Jia and Zhang Mei were indeed the most sinister in that group, and they were running around like crazy.
She was about to speak when the phone rang.
"Student, is the ringtone of your phone..." Ning Yilan asked blackly.
"Midnight Ring is an excellent movie, teacher." Tang Xi answered casually, glanced at the incoming call before answering, "I said, Chu Li, I've only been away for less than a day, so why don't you check the post?"
"Well, so, have you arrived at Luming Mountain?" Chu Li seemed to be outside, and his voice was a little fuzzy.
"It's here." Tang Xi rolled her eyes and said directly, "I'm not in a relationship, I live alone, I don't want to date, don't worry about it—huh? What did you say?"
"...That's it, watch your classmates, don't run around if you have nothing to do." After Chu Li finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
"Hey!" Tang Xi looked at the mobile phone that was emitting a busy tone and was irritable, "Be careful that they don't run around or anything, you are too late!"
"What happened?" Han Zhen keenly sensed a hint of ominousness.
"Our Team Chu said that there was a vicious murderer who fled into the mountains of Luming Mountain." Tang Xi said helplessly as he shook his phone.
"What!" Ning Yilan screamed, her face turned pale, "Here... there are still students in the mountains."
"Tell everyone to come back, and don't leave the hotel before dawn!" Tang Xi said, then went to Manager He and briefly explained the situation, "The criminal attacked the police before and took away a police pistol, which is extremely dangerous. Let the staff also withdraw, not to mention the danger, there are too many people and it is easy to stimulate criminals."
"That's... okay, I'll notify you right away." Manager He was someone who had seen big scenes, so he quickly reacted and hurriedly gave orders with the walkie-talkie.
"Let everyone come back, what about Han Jia and the others!" Han Zhen said loudly.
"What's the noise? I'll look for it!" Tang Xi glared at him.
"..." Han Zhen choked on her words, but immediately retorted, "No, I will go if I want to go. How could I let you, a girl, go out and look for it in such a dangerous situation."
"Yes, Tang Xi, you should hurry back to your room." Wu Hai and Ning Yilan also came over.
The two teachers were full of sadness, and they were going on a good school trip. It is troublesome enough for students to get lost in the mountains, but they just found out that there is actually a murderer with a gun in the mountains! It was a bolt from the blue. In particular, there was a child from the Han family among the missing students. If something happened, they didn't know whether they could continue teaching.
"Anyway, we may not see each other again, it doesn't matter." Tang Xi sighed, took out his ID from his handbag and opened it, and said with a blank expression, "I have already graduated, so I don't need to listen to the teacher. But as ordinary citizens, you have You must listen to me."
"Police, police officer certificate?!" Everyone was dumbfounded.
The certificate is definitely not a fake, and the five words of the City Bureau's serious crime team are also clear.
"Now, please ask Manager He to count the staff and the two teachers to take care of all the students. As for the lost ones... leave them to me." Tang Xi put away the documents and ordered calmly.
"I'll go find it with you." Han Zhen didn't hesitate.
"Master Han, please don't make trouble." Tang Xi frowned.
"I have practiced for many years, and I will not hold back." Han Zhen did not back down, "And there are three missing people. If there are injuries, I don't think you can bring them back alone. You need help."
"Then I'll send two security guards to go together." Manager He said quickly.
"No, security is just a job. There's no need to get involved in such a dangerous thing. It's not easy for anyone." Tang Xi immediately refused, then looked at Han Zhen, carefully scrutinized him, and his expression changed slightly.
Among the people who had eaten at Luming Restaurant at noon, except for a few of them who were vegetarians, the others were more or less entangled in Yin Qi, but Han Zhen was exceptionally clean. It should be said that as expected of the male lead, does he have good luck
"Tang Xi..." Cheng Yihang called out worriedly.
"It's okay." Tang Xi patted him on the shoulder, quickly handed him his room card, and said in a low voice, "It's okay, if there is 'that' danger in the hotel, take them to hide in my room." Go where you live."
"Okay." Cheng Yihang understood, holding the room card tightly, he could feel the cold sweat on his palm.
Tang Xi made a proper arrangement and informed her ghost envoys through the contract that non-combat-type people would stay in the barrier. The next moment, as soon as a few soul-raising beads were heated, the residents inside would come back.
Manager He has already hurriedly called Pei Qingzhi.
Seeing that Tang Xi didn't stop her, Han Zhen gritted her teeth and followed.
The hall was chaotic at the moment, but no one paid attention to him.
"Aren't you afraid of death?" Tang Xi laughed.
"You are not afraid of a girl, what am I afraid of." Han Zhen said, and when he walked out of the hotel gate, he took a metal flower shovel by the flower bed and leaned against the corner of the wall in his hand.
Tang Xi was speechless.
She just wants to take a vacation... I knew that I would never choose a place where Chuli haunts for vacation!
As for what Chu Li said about her crow's mouth... ignore it, murderers must not be her problem!
