Chapter 833: Shuangcao Mountain III of the Chinese Spiritual Landscape Series(1/2)
ps: Is it a human or a ghost? The basis for judgment is the conclusion drawn by the strangest person...
This "Madam Hotel" does not have a standard room, which makes people feel a bit incredible. Fortunately, the budget for this trip is quite sufficient. Thinking about such a shabby place, it is still acceptable even if you want four rooms.
"Then...that grandma, let's give us four guest rooms?" Li Zhiming said with four fingers:
The old lady blinked her eyes, then shook her head and said, "You people from the city are so rich. You need four rooms at one time. OK! Anyway, it's empty, I'll give you four rooms and 2,000 yuan.
money!"
"2000?" Mo Xiaolan, who was coordinating funds, could hardly believe her ears. This ghost place is so dilapidated that she still needs to charge 2,000 RMB? Could it be that this place looks dilapidated and exquisite and beautiful inside?
"Grandma, do you mean that the deposit is included in the two thousand, or..." Li Zhiming was also a little confused about why the price was so high.
The old lady still shook her head and replied: "There is no deposit, there is a total of 2,000 yuan for four rooms, check out tomorrow!"
Li Zhiming still wanted to argue, but Mo Xiaolan pulled Li Zhiming and said, "Come on, go... do you have to live in this family? Is there no other hotel?"
Assistant Mu and Mo Xiaolan have the same meaning. Such an expensive place is completely unnecessary! It would be better to find another one. When the old lady saw us leaving, she said coldly behind her back: "Don't come back!"
Mo Xiaolan was already in a state of anger. Now your old lady still said this. Mo Xiaolan could no longer contain her hot temper. She turned around and pointed at the old lady and cursed: "I'm not dead, don't worry."
I won’t come even if there is gold everywhere!”
"The little girl is young and has a big tone. Anyone who scolds me will be punished. You have to be careful enough!" After the old lady said that, she walked into the inner room with her child in her arms.
Mo Xiaolan is still about to scold me, so I quickly grabbed Mo Xiaolan and said, "That old lady is too weird. Don't bother with her too much. Get out of here quickly!" Seeing this, Li Zhiming agreed with me.
Viewpoint, "Don't look at the child holding the old lady's hand over there, it feels like the child is not like a living person, but like a doll!"
"Doll?" Mo Xiaolan thought of the scene where the doll snuggled up to the old lady just now. She couldn't help but shivered all over and was the first to walk out of the "Madam Hotel".
A group of four people came back to the dilapidated street. It was already past five o'clock in the afternoon and it was getting darker. If you didn't find a hotel as soon as possible, you would really sleep on the street. But on a huge street, you just entered the town.
At that time, the popularity was pretty good. At least one or two pedestrians were able to see one or two shops. But the more you walked into the town, the situation was completely different! Although there were many shops on both sides, they were all
The shops are all closed, and some shops have weeds that are more than one meter tall have grown at the doors, which is dilapidated. It is obvious.
"It seems that this 'Shuangcao Mountain' is really not a good place, and no one wants to visit here!" Li Zhiming complained while walking:
Mo Xiaolan was still a little restless. The four of them always felt unhappy when they walked on this empty street. They made up their minds and said, "Why don't we go directly into the mountain and then set up a tent in the mountain.
?”
"Why? Are you not going to celebrate my birthday?" I said half-jokingly and half-seriously:
Mo Xiaolan said with a little frowning look: "No! When I first entered the town, I found that this town was quite good. Everyone was planning to celebrate your birthday for Brother Jiang, but now I have been away for most of the day, and this place is simply
How can you celebrate your birthday when a bird doesn’t shit?”
"Or...or...or why are we going back? At least a few shops are open there!" Assistant Mu suggested weakly next to him:
"Go back? I'm seeing that shameless old lady? I won't go? You guys go!" Mo Xiaolan took the lead in opposing:
"That's OK... Since Moko decided to stay and not follow us, let's say goodbye here. After the 24th, we will gather under "Shuangcao Mountain" together!" As soon as Li Zhiming finished speaking, he was about to take us with him.
Walking back together, Mo Xiaolan was really anxious when she saw this, and stomped her feet and said, "Oh! You really left me here alone! It's a pity that you are so embarrassed. Brother Jiang, at this time
You don’t say anything fair. I and the old woman both said that to the point. Do we still have to go back and live?"
This is why I can't say anything. On one side is Li Zhiming's meaning, on the other side is Mo Xiaolan's statement. I stood in the middle and could only say to Shimi, "Sister Mo, if you continue walking forward,
We really have to sleep on the streets. At this point, we should listen to Li Zhiming. But after we go back, we don’t have to stay in a “wife hotel”. We find another hotel or residential house and stay for a few days.
Isn't it OK? That 2,000 yuan a day is definitely too expensive. I believe no one here is willing to live in that kind of place!" This mixed together, Li Zhiming and Mo Xiaolan can accept it, and Assistant Mu is already timid,
I had no objection, just follow the large army, so the four of us returned again.
After going back and forth, the sky became completely dark. Logically speaking, although this northwestern city in China was also implemented in Beijing time, it was a little slower to move. At the same time, at 19 o'clock in the evening, perhaps in the southeast region.
It was the lights that were just on the rise, but in the western region, the sun should have been ready to set the mountain. But at 18 pm, the sky in Hecheng County had already darkened, not only dark, but also to the point where dark clouds covered the moon.
Mo Xiaolan couldn't help but approach me, and there was no movement around except for the footsteps of the four of us. "Even in the wilderness, there was always a little bit of insects and birds singing? It's great here, not only no one
, there are not even insects, birds and beasts, and the whole city is empty!" Li Zhiming said with a little uneasy:
"Don't talk nonsense first, hurry up and take out the flashlight!" In an environment where you can't see your fingers, it is obviously an urgent problem to solve the lighting problem first, so I urged Li Zhiming repeatedly:
Li Zhiming then took out a searchlight and a flashlight from his backpack. He gave it to me. He held the searchlight. In order to prevent accidents, I also took out a hiking pole to open the way in front. Don't underestimate this.
The hiking pole not only relieves the burden of opening the road, but also plays a role in self-defense. Li Zhiming walked at the end, and two girls walked side by side between me and Li Zhiming.
After walking back for about 200 meters, the gentle northwest wind blew towards us. The wind might have been chilling in the East China region, but in the southwest, the wind at this time should still have a little bit of the feeling of being after the summer.
At least it won’t make people feel "cold". But the current wind blowing over made the four of us tremble at the same time. "It’s so cold!" Mo Xiaolan blurted out:
"Damn it! When encountering such a heaven and environment in this place, Jiang Ke, does this mean that we are hitting the wall?" Li Zhiming asked in confusion:
"Don't talk nonsense. If we really encounter ghosts and walls, can we still feel the coldness of the wind?" I replied absent-mindedly. Then I saw a "very rumble" sound in the grass in front of the left.
, it makes people wonder. "Everyone is paying attention..." I raised my hand and signaled to the person following me to stop and then said, "There is something in the grass!" Mo Xiaolan and Assistant Mu heard me
The reminder was inevitable that the two girls were getting close together. Li Zhiming, who was walking at the end, was particularly curious. While rushing to my side, he said sarcastically to Mo Xiaolan and Assistant Mu.
: "This scares you? Then what did you do when you came this time?" Mo Xiaolan was excited by Li Zhiming and suddenly had the courage to pull Assistant Mu forward and said, "We are for your men
The child’s chance to perform. Do you think we are really afraid?”
Seeing that everyone was in high spirits, I also had the corresponding courage and said to Li Zhiming: "Protect the two beauties, and I will go and see what the situation is?"
Before I could finish the explanation, I saw a weasel-sized black shadow jumping out of the grass, leaping across the street with lightning speed and disappearing directly into the grass on the other end.
Go.
"So it's a weasel!" Although Li Zhiming did not see clearly what kind of object the thing that was leaping out was, he made a judgment based on his rich "social experience":
"It's a bit weird..." I said a little uneasy:
"Jiang Ke, what's wrong?" Li Zhiming asked in a while when he saw me "when the wind is raining", he didn't feel very happy:
I said thoughtfully: "The sky was still sunny a few minutes ago, and then it darkened. This looked very strange. Then this weasel should be a dormant animal during the day, and it is impossible for it to suddenly jump at this point in time.
Come out!"
"Jiang Ke, your worries make sense, but if the weather here is like this, there is no inevitable excessive day and night, the species here, like weasels, are already used to this climatic conditions?
, Are we over-thinking?" Li Zhiming said:
I looked at the grass where the weasel was infested, then looked at the time, and then said with certainty: "No! I can guarantee that this weasel was definitely not in front of us because of its appearance, it should have been frightened!"
"Are you frightened?" Li Zhiming and Mo Xiaolan exclaimed in unison:
"Yeah! It's definitely..." Before I could finish this, I saw that there was another movement in the grass in front of the left. After a while, two weasel-sized black shadows jumped out, passing through them straight.
Cross the street and ran to the grass on the right side of the street!
"Is it true?" Mo Xiaolan sighed in surprise:
"Why don't we leave here quickly?" He looked at Assistant Mu who was still moving in the grass on the left and said nervously:
"Don't panic! Let's stand here and see how many weasels there are in the grass?" Li Zhiming waved his hand and then blocked the two girls, looking righteous, making the two girls behind him feel good.
Touched? On the contrary, I stood alone at the front of the crowd, witnessing what was about to happen in front of me...
I saw that the movement in the grass was getting louder and louder. This movement was definitely not something that a few weasels could make. Could it be a wild boar? When I thought about this, I was really worried. If it was a wild boar, then where did the four of us go?
Isn't you seeking death? I hurriedly shouted to Li Zhiming and others behind me: "Hurry up... find a tree to climb up, there is danger!"
Just when Li Zhiming and his friends were terrifying when they had no big trees, a voice suddenly came from the grass: "What is the name of the big night? There is still a flashlight for such a big noise, and will it be possible for someone to catch a weasel?"
The four of us were stunned at first. Then we felt relieved. It turned out that someone was catching weasels in the grass. This was much safer than wild boars!
Mo Xiaolan was the most anxious. When she learned that there were people in the grass, she hurriedly shouted: "Uncle, how could you catch a weasel at this time?"
At this time, there was a sound in the grass, and then a figure swayed. Li Zhiming's flashlight and I shone at the figure. We saw the man in his fifties who were in his 1950s and 1950s were covered in dirty clothes.
Standing in front of us, in this slightly chilly weather, I wore a white sweatshirt covered with ripped holes, a shabby suit shorts, and a pair of ragged sandals below.
What's more important is that in his left hand, he was dragging a thin line and tied three weasels to the other end of the thin line. Seeing that the weasel was still moving, he must have either been unconscious or died.
When Assistant Mu saw this scene, he was the first to "sneer" and expressed disdain for the cruelty of the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man seemed to be still unhappy about our disturbance just now, "I'll catch the weasel and care about your nothing.
Oh? Even if I catch it during the day, I will not be with you!"
"You uncle really don't know anything. I mean, it's not yet the time for Xiaoxue, you'll catch this weasel, even if you catch it, the skin of this weasel is not worth it!" Mo Xiaolan seemed to be conscious of this
I know the leather of animals better. Otherwise, how could she say these very professional words?
The uncle looked at Mo Xiaolan with his unique eyes, and this look made Mo Xiaolan look a little furious. "Girl, what are you doing? Are you quite professional? Look at your outfits, don't look like a local.
?”Mo Xiaolan usually didn’t bother to pay attention to such questions, so she pulled Assistant Mu and said to me and Li Zhiming: “Let’s go, let’s go quickly!”
The middle-aged man saw that we were leaving, quickly stopped him and said, "Wait... where are you going?"
"Let's go back to the town!" I didn't want to get too entangled with this middle-aged man, so I sent him casually:
"Go back to the town? Which town?" the uncle said with great thoughts:
"Hey! I said, why are you so nagging? Wherever we go, it's just like you catching this weasel. It's all your business!" Mo Xiaolan said bluntly:
I thought to myself that this person who is not familiar with the place is from another place after all. As the saying goes, "A strong dragon cannot beat a local snake." So we should be more low-key here and avoid being enemies with others. So I took the initiative to take the conversation
He said, "Uncle, I'm sorry, we are back to the county town of Hecheng County. Look, we don't know that the sky is very dark here, so we want to go back and find a place to stay!"
"Find a place to settle down? Huihecheng County? What a joke..." The uncle said with disdain: "This is the county town of Hecheng County. Which county town do you want to go to? Find a place to settle down?
To be continued...
