Due to the rain, the sky was terrifyingly overcast. Especially in this dark forest.
They quickly exited the forest. At the end of the forest, there was a villa that seemed to be quite old, which made me unconsciously think of the villa that I brought Xiao Zuo back from. My intuition told me that something would happen to this villa that didn't have anyone inside.
In fact, it could be said to be dilapidated, but it was actually a bit ancient. The walls were covered with climbing vines, and the vines were densely packed like tentacles in the darkness. It was a building that reminded one of the vampire castles of the eighteenth century.
"Why do I feel so cold?" Mi Ya rubbed the goosebumps on her arm. Why don't we go? I always feel terrible. Something will happen. "
"But where else can we go?" Driver was also scared, but there was no helping it, there was nowhere to go under the heavy rain.
As he was speaking, there was a flash of lightning from the horizon, illuminating this strange villa …
"AHH@@
"Hey, did you commit a crime? No police have caught you yet, what are you doing? " It was just a bolt of lightning.
"It's obviously very scary." Mi Ya was about to cry, and had already climbed onto Kong Lin's body beside him. Wuu, Kong Lin, that's so scary. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have come. "
"Be good ~" Kong Lin enjoyed the feeling of being hugged by Mi Ya a lot, "It's okay, it's fine with me here."
The big door of the villa was suddenly pushed open, scaring Mi Ya into screaming again. This time, even the driver was scared too. A skinny hand stretched out, followed by an old lady wearing a black cloak. In her hand was an old-fashioned oil lamp.
"AHH!" Mi Ya screamed even more miserably.
"Excuse me, do you want to stay here?" The old lady's hoarse voice sounded.
"Residence?" The group of people were puzzled. "Just what is this place …" Other than the invisible Driver, everyone looked at Sun Ning.
Sun Ning quickly waved her hands, "I don't know. I used to come here often when I was a kid, when it was still deserted. "
"Oh, this is an inn now," the old lady said as she opened the door. Come in and warm up. "
"Then it's troublesome," I nodded slightly, looked at Luo Mingshang, and took the lead to enter. The others followed.
The door of the villa slowly opened, emitting an ear-piercing creaking sound, as if it had not been repaired for a long time. Other than the worn-out exterior, the interior of the house was actually quite nice. In one corner, there was a resting sofa, and on the other side, there was a counter. Behind the counter, there was a kitchen, while opposite the counter, there was a rectangular wooden table.
"He looks pretty good." Mi Ya closed the umbrella and shook the rain off his body. Let's stay here tonight. I'll leave tomorrow. "
"Yeah," I nodded.
"Okay," the old lady nodded, "But we don't have many rooms here. There are six of you here, so can I get you four rooms?"
I looked around and roughly estimated that I, Luo Mingshang and Xiao Hei could live in one room while Xiao Hei would not take up the space. "Mi Ya will be in one room, Uncle Sun will be in another room, and Sun Ning will be the only one left, let her squeeze with Mi Ya a bit." Just give us three. " At a time like this, it would be better to have a little more people.
"Alright." The old lady nodded. "Come, I'll show you upstairs to your rooms." As he spoke, he walked to the side and turned on the light on the stairs.
"Thank you."
As they walked, the old lady asked, "What are all of you doing here?"
"Oh, we're going …" Mi Ya spoke straightforwardly, but I stopped him.
"We are all university students, aren't we having a summer vacation? We came here to play in the mountains, who would have thought that it would rain halfway," I hurriedly replied as I exchanged glances with Mi Ya, signalling her not to spout nonsense.
"What fun is there here?" The old woman shook her head.
Mi Ya learnt very quickly, "Why not, otherwise we wouldn't have known that there was such a great hotel here, full of the scent of Europe from the last century, and would be able to come here to make micro films in the future."
"It's nothing." Hearing someone praise her hotel, the old lady laughed, "I've only been running this hotel for a few years. Originally, when I was young, I went into the sea to do business with my husband, but the business ended up losing money. When I remembered that there is still an ancestral land here, I came back to take a look.
"Then why are you alone?" I asked carefully.
"The old lady snickered and switched on the lights upstairs." Isn't the mountain road over there a landslide? He went outside to see if there were people passing by. Since there's no place to stop the heavy rain, he might as well drag it over to the store and do business. "
"Oh. What about your son's daughter? They don't know how to help out in this rain, "I continued, but in fact I was trying to trick them into doing the same.
"They are all overseas. They can't come back more than a few times a year now." The old lady shook her head, "We're here." She stopped in front of a room, "There are three rooms here. As for the details, you guys can split them among yourselves."
"Mm, sorry to trouble you." I nodded and took the three keys from her trembling hand.
"Alright, I won't disturb your rest any longer. I'll call you guys to eat later." The old lady nodded and was about to leave when she suddenly stopped. "Oh right, let me remind you that you don't dare to hear anything at night. Don't come out."
Mi Ya was just about to ask why, but she was stopped by me, "We understand."
As I watched the old lady go downstairs and disappear, I distributed the keys. After receiving the key, I reminded her once again, "Remember what the old lady said just now. Don't come out at all when we hear it at night. We have a goal on our way here. We can't create unnecessary trouble."
Mi Ya held the fruit in her hand, "Master, is there something wrong with this inn?"
"Don't meddle in other people's business, just take care of yourself," I reminded them. "Kong Lin, watch out for the two of them tonight."
"Alright, no problem." Kong Lin nodded.
Driver looked at the place beside Mi Ya in horror. There seemed to be no one there. Ignoring his surprise, I pulled Luo Mingshang and Xiao Hei into the room.
On the other hand, the Uncle Sun patted the Driver's shoulder, "Don't worry, these children are not mortals. In short, no matter what you hear at night, do not come out. Just remember this warning.
"Oh, oh, don't worry. I'll remember it." Driver nodded his head.
