The little fool volunteered, "Do you need me to go to the kitchen and eavesdrop?"
"Don't go, Xiaolan goes."
The Taoist priest almost blurted out, then turned his eyes to Xiaolan and motioned for her to follow him quickly.
Why is it me? I just joined the gang, didn’t I?
Xiaolan was completely stunned, but before her brain could react, her legs had already started to move. Behind her, the Taoist priest said softly, "Xiaolan is small, so it is not easy to be discovered."
With a lot of grievances and lack of confidence, Xiaolan followed the boss and his wife to the underground floor and took a brief look. The layout of this hotel is not special. The first floor is the lobby and restaurant, and the second floor and above are normal hotel rooms.
, the kitchen, warehouse, etc. are arranged on the underground floor.
It shouldn't be too special, Xiaolan thought about it, she hadn't actually seen many hotels.
Just now, I vaguely saw the boss and his wife disappearing from the front. Xiaolan stood on tiptoes to look for them, but she didn't dare to walk too fast or too obviously, so she could only move furtively along the wall.
The layout of the underground floor is really messy. From a storage room, I turned a corner and saw a laundry room. Walking along the laundry room, there was another corner. Xiaolan hunched over and turned around here. After a while, she forgot that she was
Where did it come from.
Suddenly, the faint sound of voices reached Xiaolan's ears.
Xiaolan tensed her muscles and remained motionless in her current posture, determining the direction of the sound like a radar.
It's the door on the right.
Moving over step by step, Xiaolan felt that the voice was getting clearer and clearer.
"Am I crazy? I think it's you!"
The woman's voice was very exciting and harsh. It was the result of her own voice being raised an octave.
Then there was a man's voice, which was so loud that it was hard to hear clearly.
Xiaolan moved a little further toward the door, her nerves and body tense. Xiaolan thought that if someone suddenly slapped her from behind, she would be frightened and fly out.
The low voice continued, and Xiaolan couldn't get any closer. If he got any closer, he would get through the door.
"...I keep telling you not to mention it...do you think...you...I...don't know...when it involves us..."
No, at least you have to hear the main point.
Xiaolan simply lay on the ground and stretched his neck forward.
At this time, it was quiet inside. It was said to be quiet, but in fact, the two of them stopped talking. Xiaolan could hear the sound of the bench being pulled away from inside, as well as the gentle sobbing of a woman.
"I feel uncomfortable when I think of that little girl. If we had saved her, how could she have been burned to death?"
The girl who was burned to death?
Hearing the key point! Xiaolan became excited again and pricked up her ears, hoping that when the two of them quarreled, they could go over all their grudges.
"What does it have to do with us? You've always been like this. Do you think we can be saved? You don't know what the people in that village are like. Can you save people from them?"
Xiaolan wrote down what she heard clearly in her head word for word. Now was not the time to use her brain, so she recorded it herself first and left the reasoning work to the people above her.
This time it was the woman's voice that was lowered.
"...At least try...how old are you..."
"It really doesn't make sense to you. Do you believe me or not..."
The man's voice became angry, and before he finished speaking, there was a harsh sound of the chair legs scraping against the floor tiles, and the woman's voice sounded like thunder.
"What do you want to do again? Do you want to kill me? Anyway, you have killed people before, why am I still missing? If you have the ability, kill the people above you too!"
kill?!
Xiaolan jumped up and sat up from the ground, her nerves that had been somewhat relaxed started to become alert again.
If he was caught eavesdropping...
No, I have to run.
The Taoist priest just said that life is the most important, and I have to listen to the Taoist priest.
Xiaolan turned around and prepared to retreat, but when she turned around, she realized that she had no idea where she was.
Where should I run?
Before he could find the correct direction, heavy footsteps could be heard in the room, pointing directly in the direction of Xiaolan's hiding place.
It’s really adding insult to injury.
Xiaolan panicked, turned around and ran away, directly jumping into a door nearby. The door was open. There was a short table placed near another wall. The table was covered with a large tablecloth, which could just block the bottom of the table.
s things.
Xiaolan flew forward and saw that the table was indeed empty, so she quickly ducked in.
Before I could catch my breath, the sound of footsteps came unexpectedly.
Xiaolan covered her mouth tightly and heard footsteps stopping about ten meters away from her. She paced back and forth for a few steps, followed by the creaking sound of a chair.
The woman was still in the room just now, crying loudly, while the man in this room kept sighing.
Xiaolan thought, married life is full of all kinds of conflicts. But now no one is as miserable as me.
The space under the table was so small that I couldn't straighten my neck. If I had known better, I would have found a wider place to hide.
Xiaolan tilted her neck and gently opened a corner of the curtain. The boss was sitting on a chair with his back to her. The room they were in looked like a laundry room. Xiaolan was not sure if she had seen this before.
Laundry room, why are there so many laundry rooms in the basement?
The boss was still sitting on the chair, sighing, and the crying of the landlady gradually became quieter, but her mumbling could still be heard in the distance.
Why haven't you left yet?
Xiaolan felt very uncomfortable. Not only was she afraid that she would be discovered, but she was also afraid that the information she had collected would be forgotten.
The surroundings were so quiet that Xiaolan didn't dare to breathe. The sound of her own violent heartbeat echoed in her mind, and she was even a little worried whether the boss would hear the sound.
A burst of music suddenly sounded. Xiaolan was so frightened that she jumped up and hit her head on the wall. She quickly lowered the curtain and went in.
The sound of music came from the boss's direction, and the boss cursed lightly, probably also startled.
After a beep, the music disappeared. The boss seemed to be still in his seat, but he sighed even more.
It must have been his phone ringing, Xiaolan thought.
Within a few seconds, the same music sounded again. Just as Xiaolan expected, she took this opportunity to move her buttocks, changed the direction and continued to squat.
There was another sigh, and this time the boss picked up the phone.
"Hey, Brother Ma... I know... I didn't have my phone with me just now... Oh, I really didn't answer your call... I know, I know the day is coming. I'll send it to you if I have money... Go up
Isn’t the month two days late... OK, OK, OK, I will definitely be on time this month... How can I lie to you about our relationship... Come and have a drink when you have time, Xiaohui and I both miss you haha... Also
Is there any Xiaohui, your younger brother and sister Xiaohui... come here if you have time..."
The boss who called was completely different from the boss who was sighing just now. Xiaolan was curious about why he was so enthusiastic about people who called to ask for money.
There was another beep, and the boss hung up the phone. His hearty laughter stopped abruptly, followed by a vicious curse word.
Xiaolan quietly changed her position while her boss was on the phone, and was finally able to stretch her legs properly. Now she was facing the wall. Although she couldn't peek at the situation outside, she already made a basic judgment through the sound.
The boss no longer sighed. Now he was cursing, and the sound of "tuk tuk tuk" sounded. Xiaolan guessed that he started to point his fingers on the table anxiously again.
With the money given by Aunt Lin, Xiaolan did not understand the fear and desire for money in the adult world. She took it for granted that her boss was too immature.
Xiaolan shook her head and turned her gaze to the wall in front of her.
The walls are smooth and solid. Even though it is a dark corner, there is no corruption. The connection between the wall and the ground is also tight. Xiaolan does not have to worry about anything getting out of the gaps.
But a disharmonious feeling gradually appeared in Xiaolan's mind.
I always feel like something is weird. This chapter has been completed!
