Healing Hotel

After a game of salt last night, Yu Qing hoarded a lot.The old house said that there has never been such a heavy salt rain in their world, and it can be used for a long time now.

Yu Qing asked the guests to take some salt, and also gave some to the second aunt, saying that it is a very precious medicinal material and must be used according to the dosage.In this case, people will not eat it as ordinary salt.

The second aunt believed it sincerely, and wrote down Yu Qing's instructions as if they were instructions, and sealed them together in a jar.Lao Tao and the others also hid it well as if they had found a treasure.

No one told about the salt falling from the sky.

Yu Qing was extremely puzzled.He had already prepared Wangchuan water, but it didn't come in handy.Everyone was unanimously silent and tight-lipped.

Yu Qing couldn't help asking Lao Tao.

"They are young people with big hearts. But me..."

Old Tao hesitated for a long time, then sighed: "I already knew that it's not easy here. I'll start, because I came here to find this house."

Yu Qing froze for a moment. "What?"

Before he came back, the old house was probably still a haunted house.

"It's a secret." Lao Tao hesitated even more, pulled him into his room, closed the door carefully, and then began to talk.

"I told you about this, you can't be angry, and you can't drive me away. Of course, you can't tell a third person. Originally, I promised them that this secret will be brought into the coffin." Lao Tao said with a sigh.

When he first found out that he was suffering from cancer, he was quite optimistic, because he worked hard to save some assets when he was young. As long as he has money, he firmly believes that he can get any medicine.During that period, he was still in a nursing home and met a patient.

"He is a very elegant old man. He is over 70 years old and his condition is worse than mine. He will die someday. We live every day. We share similar interests and often play chess together. Before he passed away, he told me A story." Old Tao paused for a moment, as if he had made a very difficult decision, and finally said: "A story of an adventure in a small country."

Yu Qing: "!!"

"A man once fell into a cave while exploring in the deep mountains. When he came out, he was in another world. It was a country where villains lived. The house they lived in had a magical power that could make people feel peaceful and free from all diseases. Invasion, a long life of a hundred years. It is said that a hundred years old is still very young for a villain.

"The man lived there for a period of time, but he was still homesick. But he was reluctant to part with the magical country. He was afraid that after returning home, it would be like the Peach Blossom Spring in the ancient book, and he would never find the Lilliputian country again. So he With a crazy idea, take a villain, then the villain can lead the way..."

When he said this, suddenly a strange wind blew in, the branches in the room were disturbed, and the fruit lantern flickered.

"What, is it going to rain?" Old Tao shivered inexplicably, and couldn't help but stop talking.

"It's nothing, it's windy today." Yu Qing knew that Lao Zhai was angry.

He got up and closed the window, and said to Lao Tao, "Go on."

"He brought him back on the pretext of inviting the villain to his house as a guest. When he got home, he locked him up because he was afraid that the villain would escape... When he went again, he couldn't find the cave, so he could only ask for help. The villain. But the villain saw his true colors, said he was a liar, and refused to help.

"The villain was imprisoned for many years, until the family was in debt, offended a big man, and begged my patient friend.

"At first, the old man didn't believe it. But after the villain appeared, he was fascinated and bought the villain."

"Then what? Where is the villain? Is he still there?" Yu Qing asked hastily.

Old Tao shook his head: "He said that the villain had left. At that time he was already seriously ill, so he made an agreement with the villain that as long as he stayed with him for two years, he could help the villain go home. He thought he would not live that long, But unexpectedly, with the company of the villain, he survived. But he still kept his promise. Unfortunately, the villain said he didn't need his help, so he left on his own..."

Old Tao dug out a painting from his luggage bag, "This is the one drawn by the explorer who took the villain. It's a house in that world."

"My patient friend said that when the villain left, he promised that if he found his way home, he would come and invite him to stay and his health would get better in return for keeping his promise."

Yu Qing took a look, the painting was a tree with doors and windows distributed on the trunk, and there was a cute semi-circular room on each branch, as if divided into many floors.The small windows and small balconies are hidden in the leaves. If you don't look carefully, you really think it is a tree.

"This is the house of the little people." The old man said excitedly.

Yu Qing asked, "Can you still contact your patient friend?"

The man said that the villain left, but I don't know if it's true or not... Even if he really left, it would be good to know more about the situation, especially the explorer who took the villain away.

"Hey, he couldn't wait for the villain to come back." Lao Zhai said regretfully, "He passed away not long after I left the nursing home. The person who sold him the villain also died in a car accident later."

"Later, I accidentally saw a picture of your house on the Internet, and I thought it was very similar to the villain's house." He looked at the leaves by the window and said, "Only the villain's house can grow like a tree. After I moved in, I confirmed it, it must be right! There used to be villains living here!"

"..." Yu Qing thought for a while, how to reply him.

Lao Tao said nervously: "You don't have to worry, I won't tell anyone else about this."

Yu Qing smiled and said, "But you still told me."

Lao Tao said in shame: "That's because you belong to the house, I don't think you should tell such an important matter to get yourself into trouble."

Yu Qing teased him again: "Then how do I know if you will tell the fourth or fifth person?"

Lao Tao was also dumbfounded. "this……"

Yu Qing said: "Just kidding, you have lived here for a long time, I believe in our friendship."

Old Tao heaved a sigh of relief.

Yu Qing said again: "But today's conversation, I hope you will forget it yourself, as if you have never said anything. To be honest, I have the ability to make people forget certain things. If one day, you really say it , I will use this ability."

Old Tao said in astonishment: "Forget something..."

He suddenly grasped Yu Qing's hand tightly: "Really? If it is to forget this secret, can it be done?"

He began to murmur: "In fact, I wanted to forget it a long time ago, but that country of villains is really fascinating. I was quite worried... When I told you just now, the strange wind was It’s not that the old friend heard it in the underworld and blamed me..."

Yu Qing: "..." No, it's just that the old man is out of breath.

In the end, Lao Tao chose to forget, forget about that secret, and also forget about the conversation with him just now.

"You don't know, sometimes it's too difficult for people to completely forget certain things." He said with a wry smile.

Yu Qing sprayed Wangchuan water on him, and after sorting out his thoughts, he found a problem.

"Old house, I remember you saying that the villain was cheated away in Benmu's records? The historical records of your tree house are very long ago, right?"

Lao Tao's story seems to have happened not long ago, at most ten years.But since the tree house has been recorded, the old house must have not come to this world at that time.

"Yes. Before I came here, it happened many years ago. But my brother said that when passing through different worlds, time is sometimes distorted." The old house said, "There is a time difference Not surprising."

Yu Qing also understood.He put away his business card and Lao Tao's painting, and looked at the green trees outside the window. "Tell me, where will that little human race go?"

"I want to know too." The old man also stretched out the branch of the tree and looked out the window. "Maybe, the little people know how to go home. They are a very curious group. It is said that in history, there were people who went back and forth between the two worlds. But the tree house family thought it was dangerous and closed the entrance and exit. the behavior of."

Yu Qing asked: "Can you sense the little people?"

"No, the tree house can only sense its own people and its master." The old house said, "But don't worry, although the little people are simple and kind, they are very smart. He will be fine, maybe he has already returned home."

Yu Qing doubted: "But he was still tricked out..."

"Because our world not only has little people and giants, but also people with the same height as you." The old house explained, "Little people are very hospitable, they like to invite people as guests, and they also like to visit other people's homes. He probably doesn't know that People come from another world, so I agreed."

Yu Qing thought for a while and said: "Can the little people recognize the tree house?"

"Yes." The old man said with certainty, "I think if he didn't find his way home, he would definitely find his way here."

Yu Qing smiled and said: "Then we must pay attention to the guests in the future."

Two guests came in the afternoon.Young and enthusiastic girls are wearing sister outfits and carrying the same bags.They still look alike.

It was the first time for Yu Qing to meet twin guests.

"Zeng Qin? Zeng Lu?" Yu Qing confirmed, and returned the ID cards to them respectively.

"Wow, boss, how do you know this is mine? No one recognized it along the way." The girl asked with a smile.

Yu Qing smiled and said, "The little red figure on Zeng Qin's bag, and the little blue man on your bag."

There are puppet figures hanging on the two bags of the sisters, but they seem to like different colors.In addition to this, the hair circle color is also different.

"You read really carefully, and you have a good memory." Zeng Lu admired.

Yu Qing asked strangely: "Why do you open two rooms, it will be cheaper to live together?"

"Of course you can change rooms. I heard that every room here is different, so we came here to experience it." The two sisters said excitedly.

Yu Qing didn't say much, and gave the room cards to the two of them respectively, and then asked the old house: "Can you tell the two of them apart?"

"It's ok. The light on everyone's body is different." Lao Zhai said.

Yu Qing almost forgot.The perspective of the tree house is different from theirs.

After he settled the guests, he drove to the town to buy things, his head was full of thoughts about what the little people like to eat.

Hu Er is the best at eating, and immediately recommended: "Ice cream! He must like ice cream."

"Bing Kuo Le! Fried Chicken! Potato Chips! Spicy Strips! Chicken Feet! And don't forget the jelly beans...!"

Yu Qing: "..."

If the little people come here, they will definitely be brought down by the greedy fox!
