death of mountain god

"Here's a good thing for you guys." Zhou Li actually brought candy, and in a small red and green tin box lay a bunch of individually wrapped mints, "It was originally prepared for Chen Yuan, but she really has all the equipment this time. , I couldn’t get it out.”

In this place where there is no village or shop behind, it is a great gift to still have a piece of sweet and refreshing candy to suck on. The smell of mint pours into the nostrils, making the mind clear.

Black dragged his feet and followed behind Zhou Li: "You should have come by car, at least there is a place to sleep."

"It's too far away, you must be trying to exhaust me to death." Zhou Li also discovered that it doesn't matter whether he sleeps or not, he doesn't want to come to the experience of walking in the ocean of "flowers" now.

When walking in front of a dilapidated door, a gust of wind suddenly blew up, and the north-south avenue was covered with papers, which should have added to the chaos after being blown like this, but the papers seemed to have eyes and flew with the wind. Go, no chaos at all.

Zhou Li glanced at the limelight through his fingers, and there was a stone-carved shadow wall, with a gray Xumi seat at the bottom, a eaves on the top, and brightly colored auspicious patterns carved on the bricks.

As the last twilight faded into the hills, a white bird limped and hopped on the bamboo pole of the lantern under the eaves, and a red light burst out under the dark blue sky, and the front of this dilapidated gate suddenly opened up. stand up.

Shen Yuntan looked at him sideways, and said in his unique soft and clear voice: "It's a hotel."

Oh, it's a hotel.

The answer lies in the two red lanterns, which cannot be seen during the daytime. The bright light bulbs inside illuminate the two big characters in Lishu——hotel.

There was probably only this one family in a few miles around, so Zhou Li went to knock on the door: "Is anyone there?"

Rather than a hotel, it is more like a private mansion. The paint on the door ring has been peeled off, and two spindle-shaped wooden colors have been stepped on the threshold. There are rustling footsteps inside. Zhou Li has an inexplicable fear. Since there are people, Why don't you talk to me?

He was already prepared to see the hanged female ghost when the gate opened, even if the female ghost stared at him with wide eyes and a smile of unknown meaning on her lips, he could still talk and laugh freely.

The top door bar slammed a few times, Zhou Li took a few steps back and turned sideways for preparation.

The door was opened a crack, there was light in the yard, and the figure behind the backlight dragged out the tone: "Who——?"

Zhou Li saw it. It was a girl who opened the door. She was also very beautiful. She wore a satin cheongsam with tea-green water stains. Shake your face, shake it.

He asked: "Hello, is this a hotel? We want to stay for one night."

"Come in!" The girl pushed open the door, looked around, and giggled a few times, "Don't be scared, you guys just happened to bump into this spectacle."

With this smile, I always felt that the person in front of me seemed familiar. Zhou Li looked at him a few more times, and shouted suspiciously: "Chen Yuan?"

Once I had this idea, I immediately felt that she and Chen Yuan were like each other to the extreme. The facial features were opened, and the eyes no longer occupied such a large area. She was soaked in time in an instant, and laughed White Fang was quite normal, and the two front teeth seemed to be reserved and did not continue to expand their territory.

She froze for a moment, put away her smiling face, and rolled her eyes angrily: "God? Don't think that you are very powerful, there are too many powerful people in this place."

After finishing speaking, she snapped her fingers, and a green parrot landed on the owner's shoulder, saying loudly, "Welcome."

Zhou Li was about to continue asking, but the parrot said again: "Dog thing!"

This is probably the bird following the master, he murmured in a low voice, looked at the girl carefully, and felt less sure, strange things happen frequently these days, not to mention they look alike, Feng Gong and Takahashi have a long life Like, he shelved the idea for now.

When they entered the courtyard gate, the girl quickly closed the gate and set up a crossbar, as if she was afraid that something would come in, and then put on the posture of a profiteer: "Let's go. We charge according to the mood here. Have you prepared the money?" ?”

It seemed to be displeasing, Zhou Li had never seen such an arrogant innkeeper, he felt that he had to keep silent, so he tugged on Shen Yuntan's sleeve and gave him a wink.

"The whole village, is this the only place where the lights are on?" Shen Yuntan didn't know what to say, this girl was clearly trying to blackmail people, wouldn't it be useless to say anything? "What's the name of the lady boss?"

"If you don't want to change your name or change your surname, it's called Chen Yuan. Didn't the magic stick next to you find out a long time ago?" The girl took out a thin ledger from the bottom drawer of the chest of drawers. It can't be called a ledger, it's just a paper On the rough and yellowed straw paper, there were originally three green characters on it - "workbook", which she crossed out with a black pen, and carefully marked on the side - "account book".

The reason why the word "seriousness" is used is because these two large characters are really unattractive, one stroke at a time, wishing to use all the strength of the whole body, like a junior elementary school student writing his own twisted name.

The account book seemed to be less than one page long, and Zhou Li couldn't help asking: "Is this business not doing well? No wonder, there are no scenic spots here."

Chen Yuan opened another drawer and motioned him to look in: "I don't know how many, do you think I only have one ledger?"

The exact same notebooks, some of which were soaked in water and uneven, and some of which were missing pages, squeezed a whole drawer, and most of them were rolled up and fastened and stuffed in. Zhou Li knew that he should not say anything more, But facing such a high-spirited face, he couldn't help it: "Isn't it okay to lay these ledgers flat and stack them in a pile? You have to do this... to highlight your personal characteristics."

Shen Yuntan touched his hand and whispered in a low voice: "I think she is Chen Yuan."

Zhou Li smiled helplessly: "I think so, but seeing her like that doesn't look like acting, besides, who can match a hotel with acting?"

There is no doubt that this hotel is really a hotel. The courtyard is surrounded by four corners. There are less than ten guest rooms, all of which have lamps by the windows. - Easy to wash.

Of course, it is understandable if it is next to the scenic spot. The question is, where are the guests here?

Chen Yuan stared at them strangely, and sneered: "I am willing. Stop mumbling, ID card!"

Pointing to Black again: "You forget it, you keep another account book."

Zhou Li's heartbeat suddenly accelerated: "Why is he different from us?"

"He is not a human being. Is an ID card useful for non-human things? A person is recorded in the human book, and a demon is recorded in the demon book. You can be regarded as a law enforcement officer among people. You can remember whichever you want." Chen Yuan said. Yes, her face gradually changed, a few white beards loomed on her cheeks, her front teeth grew longer and touched her lower lip, and she seemed to be wearing a long earband on the top of her head.

These changes only lasted for a few seconds, and Zhou Li even felt that his eyes were dazzled. He took a picture of his ID card and spoke a lot more gently: "That's okay, is there a big room, we want to sleep together."

Chen Yuan pointed to a room with an open door on the west side: "There is a family suite. It is more than enough for three people."

Zhou Li continued to ask: "What about the price?"

Chen Yuan drew a line on another ledger, and said with a half-smile, "It's not too much, five hundred per person, so it's one thousand and five."

Zhou Li knew that the price could not be cut down by himself, so he rubbed the top of Black's head: "Xiao Bu, pay."

Blake agreed, and groped for a long time in his half-opened backpack. The first touch was a dolphin Tao Xun, the second touch was two dragon fruits, and the third touch finally lifted his wallet with great effort.

After a while, he held a handful of pink banknotes: "Sister Boss, I don't have enough money..."

Zhou Li let out a long breath and looked embarrassed: "Look at this... Alipay has it, but it's inconvenient for you to pay, isn't it?"

It's really inconvenient for her to spend money. There are two places outside the village, and two places down the mountain and up the mountain. If it weren't for the fact that people don't have the habit of carrying gold and silver when going out these days, she doesn't even want to accept banknotes.

However, Chen Yuan thinks this is not a problem: "It's okay, part of it is paid in cash, and the other part is transferred to Alipay. It is inconvenient for us to go in and out, but we can send it by express. Have you seen the account password written on the wall? They have pulled the network cable."

Pretty advanced.

Reluctantly paying the money, Chen Yuan led them to open the door and check the lock: "The password is 2535, do you remember it? Remember to change the lock every time you go out."

Inside is a large double bed with various auspicious patterns engraved on the headboard. Zhou Li caught sight of a pair of mandarin ducks, and suddenly he didn't feel sorry for his 500 yuan. : "Boss, what do these carved patterns on the bedside mean?"

Black has always disliked sleeping on the bed. He threw his things on the single bed outside, thinking that there was something in it, so he quickly changed into his slippers and ran over. After hearing this meaningless question, he felt that he should go to bed early and get up early. You shouldn't be here to join in the fun.

Zhou Li held Shen Yuntan with one hand, and pointed at the two fat birds with the other: "Xiao Bu, do you know each other?"

Black deeply reflected on his mistakes, and took emergency measures: "I haven't seen you so curious before? Don't talk about it, I will continue to buy tickets."

Chen Yuan's reaction was also very witty: "Do you want to chat with me? Then we have to calculate the price."

Zhou Li laughed back angrily: "We still have to pack the night!"

"Chat with me for an hour, one thousand, and one leg for the night."

Shen Yuntan stretched out three fingers: "Buy for three hours."

"Yes." Chen Yuan stretched out his hand, "Cash only."

Just as Zhou Li was about to touch his pocket, Shen Yuntan pressed his hand: "I heard that you only have Alipay?"

Facing Chen Yuan's questioning eyes, he smiled embarrassingly, but immediately puffed up his chest in the next second.

Zhou Li never imagined that there are still people carrying gold with them, a piece of gold the size of a fingernail, shining brightly in Shen Yuntan's palm.

"Ten grams, is it enough?"
