The rain had been pouring down since the sun had set, and turned to pouring near midnight.
Boss Bai checked back and forth in the inn and was relieved after making sure there was nothing wrong. There were not many people in the inn today, most of them were going up the mountain, but no matter how few people there were, Boss Bai had to ensure the safety of the guests.
There was nothing left from dinner, and a few scattered pieces of preserved pork ribs were completely cold in the pot. He was too lazy to start the fire again, so he took a box of instant noodles from the counter, poured hot water and simmered it, opened a package of pickled mustard, and put the preserved pork ribs in the pot.
The ribs were served on the table together, and I thought about throwing them into instant noodles.
Such a night is so quiet, so quiet that you can clearly hear the sound of heavy rain hitting the soil. Boss Bai sat on the dining chair and looked out through the floor-to-ceiling windows at the rainy night with emotion.
It is very similar to Haba Village many years ago. It is lonely and lonely, but it can give birth to a sense of not being in a hurry. He was the first inn in Hani Village and witnessed the place from quiet to lively. The more lively, the more stories there are.
.
Boss Bai thought of those two young men again.
They are really young and full of vitality. The age of twenty-one or twelve is the most wanton stage in life. That's why they dare to go to such dangerous places. This is the power of youth.
I don’t know what’s going on now. The people who led the way are back. Where are they?
Boss Bai was a little worried. It was raining really hard. What would happen on the mountain? The tent they brought might not be able to withstand such a heavy rain.
Thinking of this, Boss Bai no longer envies them.
He was still young and energetic, so he would never go into the mountains. He would just sit comfortably in the inn, drink coffee, and admire the snow-capped mountains outside. Even if it was stormy, people like him would still appreciate the scenery.
Hey, Boss Bai is a contradictory person, and he despises himself a little when he thinks of this. Are those two young men going to have fun? They are experts, and they have to get rid of demons and defend the way!
But then again, are there really demons and ghosts in this world? Aren’t humans scarier than demons?
See, Boss Bai feels that he is possessed by the devil.
In the violent storm, he always felt like he saw something, something vague and vague, like a human being but not a human being.
hallucination.
It is easy to have hallucinations on rainy nights. Boss Bai reassured himself that it must be the shadow of a tree or something.
But before his thoughts had cooled down, he saw that the shadow seemed to be getting clearer and clearer, and it was heading towards the inn.
Boss Bai's heart suddenly lifted, he rubbed his eyes vigorously, he didn't even bother to eat the instant noodles, and almost pressed his face against the glass to look out.
I thought to myself, be a good boy, what if this is really a ghost? Can this inn still be open? Or can I still make some money by building a haunted house?
The idea is unreliable, but the eyes are very reliable.
There is something in the rainy night!
When Boss Bai saw what it was, he looked shocked.
One minute later——
When Cheng Zhan and Si Ye entered the inn's courtyard, Boss Bai had already opened the inn's door wide and hurriedly waved them in. Towels were quickly prepared.
How come these two are back at such a late hour?
No, not two...
They were in a hurry in the rain, and both of them were wearing large military green raincoats, which naturally blocked the third person.
The third person did not leave, but was carried back by Cheng Zhan. They shared a raincoat, or to be precise, he hid it under the raincoat. When Boss Bai stepped forward to help, he lifted the raincoat on Cheng Zhan's body, and he saw
With a pale face, he screamed in fright and sat down on the ground.
Si Ye took off his raincoat and saw what was going on behind the scenes. He didn't bother to wipe his hair and hurried forward to help Boss Bai up. He said with a smile, "He is a human being. He is a human being. Don't be afraid."
Boss Bai was so frightened that he couldn't speak clearly, but he knew clearly in his heart: If it was really a ghost, he might not be afraid anymore. This sudden face appeared...
Only when his mind stabilized did Boss Bai see the situation clearly.
Is it... a woman?
For now, it looks... quite like a woman, but why is this woman so strange?
She was obviously unconscious. After Si Ye helped her get off Cheng Zhan's back, she had her face lowered, her long hair disheveled and dirty, and her original color could not be seen. To describe it as ragged clothes...
Boss Bai swore that he absolutely believed in the character of the two young men in front of him. Even if they were not introduced by Lao Guan, they were quite trustworthy after getting along with each other. Moreover, these two young men were also extremely considerate in their work. He found the money they left in the drawer of the counter. They are two young men who don't like to owe favors.
But the situation in front of me...
Boss Bai suddenly remembered a joke circulating on the Internet: Two people got on the bus, arguing with a drunk man. An old lady in the bus suddenly accused the young man next to him of stealing money, and the two got out of the bus fighting each other. Later, the old lady Tell the young man, I saved your life, the person who was carried into the car was a dead person, and the legs of drunk people are weak...
Cheng Zhan and Si Ye... were holding a woman. Not only was the woman's legs stiff, her whole body was stiff.
But the two of them did not hold Qin Sansao all the time. After placing her on a large chair, Si Ye did not give Boss Bai much time to think about it. He told him straightforwardly, "We found it on the mountain. We have called an ambulance. It should be soon." It’s here.”
It's concise and doesn't explain much.
When Boss Bai heard this, he reflexively exclaimed, "Are you still alive?" He felt that his reaction was strange, and immediately said, "As long as you're alive, you're good. What's going on? Help, ambulance ?Oh, yes, you came down from the mountain, I’m here closest..."
It's simply incoherent.
Cheng Zhan was not good at explaining, and he was too lazy to talk. Si Ye wanted to explain, but the matter was too complicated and he couldn't explain it to Boss Bai. In the end, he laughed and said, "Brother Bai, don't worry, we will He is here to save people and will never cause you any trouble."
Brother Bai waved his hands repeatedly, "You misunderstood, I didn't think so..."
It's actually not that important whether you think about it or not. What matters is that Qin Sansao is still alive.
No matter how difficult it was to capture the spirit in her body, it would eventually become too weak due to the exhaustion of her physical strength, so Cheng Zhan easily caught her and ended the spirit's "life" with a single blow.
Without the attachment of the spirit, Qin Sansao seemed to have half of her soul taken out of her. The combined blood had no effect on her. She lay on the ground for a long time, but she was conscious at the time.
But the only consciousness he had was towards Qin Laosan, who became emotional after seeing the empty tomb. Si Ye came in handy. The reason was that Cheng Zhan was exhausted from carrying him all the way and was sitting on a tree trunk to rest. I don't want to waste my breath.
Si Ye was also afraid that some things could not be explained clearly, so he immediately took out Qin Laosan's ashes...the ashes in a large sealed bag.
Qin Sansao looked a little confused and didn't speak. Her lips were just moving, but her eyes were somewhat lively. She looked at the sealed bag, just looking at it.
Si Ye explained, "We are so far away that it is inconvenient to carry an urn, so we can only...put your husband in a sealed bag to make it easier to carry..."
These words drifted into Cheng Zhan's ears with the wind, and he thought to himself, what you said is quite scary.
But this did not frighten Qin Sansao. She reached out hesitantly to take the sealed bag, and then held it tightly. Seeing this, Si Ye was not sure whether she understood for a moment, and continued, "Look, you were in the coffin before."
I put the clothes and now the ashes are in place. Isn’t this much better than the clothes? Put the ashes in the coffin and bury them. This is a veritable cemetery. You can come and pay homage in the future..."
I can’t go on anymore, hey, wouldn’t it be best to move the grave?
Si Ye's words touched a nerve in Qin Sansao, and she suddenly muttered, "Clothes, clothes..."
I'm still thinking about clothes.
Cheng Zhan was too lazy to move, so he lifted his chin up into his backpack. If he had been carried all the way, he would have had the eyesight to see. Si Ma stepped in and took out Qin Laosan's clothes and gave them back to Qin Sansao.
Just like that, the ashes were returned to their proper place, the coffin was sealed, and the soil was covered. After all the work, it was almost dark. Qin Sansao didn't know whether she was too tired, so she passed out after being fed some water by Si Ye.
There was no choice, we couldn't just leave her alone on the mountain. Si Ye thought for a while and decided to act bravely and offered to carry Qin Sansao down the mountain on his back.
After all, we've been through this journey all the way, so it's hard to torment him anymore.
But Cheng Zhan stood up and walked to him and said, I'll do it.
This really flattered Si Ye, why did he suddenly become kind?
Cheng Zhan gave a reasonable explanation, "Just do it alone. Once I fall, you can still stand up."
As a result, he didn't fall down all the way.
Si Ye really admired him from the bottom of his heart. His physical strength was quite impressive. The mountain road was so difficult to walk, but he felt as light as a swallow on the way back.
I couldn't help but touch Cheng Zhan's lower abdomen and said with a smile, "It's really strong."
Cheng Zhan didn't feel displeased or frowned as he expected, and he replied lazily, "It's not like I've never seen him before, why are you pretending?"
Si Ye was amused, "Can what you see be the same as what you touch? The visual enjoyment is better, and the hand feel is better."
Cheng Zhan snorted and glanced at Si Ye's lower abdomen, "Try back and try."
…
The rain was okay at first, but when it started pouring, they almost ran away. Fortunately, Boss Bai didn't fall asleep.
The ambulance arrived quickly, just as they arrived at the inn.
At the same time, Si Ye didn't care whether it was midnight or not, and directly called Qin Laoer's family and told them that the person was found, but he was weak and was temporarily sent to the hospital.
After asking for the address of the hospital, they told Qin Laoer that they had done their best to do this. Qin Laoer didn't push back. After hearing this, he thanked Qin Laoer profusely and promised to rush to the hospital as soon as possible.
After that, the rest of the management work was handed over to Si Ye.
Cheng Zhan was really tired, so he took a shower, threw himself on the bed and fell asleep. As for the police cars, ambulances, and residents watching the excitement outside, it had nothing to do with him.
It wasn't until the sun was high in the sky the next day that Cheng Zhan opened his eyes.
The curtains were not even tightened, and the sunlight filtered in through the gaps. Unlike the "lively" scene last night, perhaps everyone in the inn had gone to the snow-capped mountains, so the whole place was quiet, just like the snow-capped mountains outside the window.
Looking at it from a distance, there was silence.
There was someone beside him, almost half of his body was pressed against him.
Cheng Zhan lowered his face slightly and saw that it was Si Ye.
