Healing Hotel

Yu Qing didn't know what happened between the two sisters, Zeng Lu and the others had already left when he learned about the secret villain from the old house.

The villagers still talk about Yu's old house when chatting, but it's all old news and no new gossip.It seems that the little girl didn't tell the outside world what happened here.

It's just that when passing by the big stone recently, there is always a kind old lady greeting him.

"The mother-in-law, I'm afraid I have it at the age of one hundred. Our second master has to be called aunt." The second aunt said.

"She is almost unable to walk, and she is still a little demented. Sometimes she is sober and sometimes confused. Normally, her family would not let her out. In the past two days, she heard that the door was not closed properly, so she sneaked out. But she is just sitting at the entrance of the village. I didn't wander around, and I didn't call back."

Anyway, the farming season is slack, and there are quite a lot of villagers chatting beside the boulders.Granny Zhang's wife has passed away, and all the young people in the family have gone out to work. There is no one to accompany her, so it's good to go out and listen to the excitement.

Hearing that her legs and feet were not good, Yu Qing also sent some herbal medicine made with Zhangshu.

Granny Zhang smiled when she saw him.

"You're here."

"Are you feeling better?"

"When will I go over to talk to you, okay?"

Yu Qing agreed one by one.

He thought it was just the elders' concern for the younger generation, but the next day, Granny Zhang really came!

I heard from my second aunt that she carried a small stool, took two steps and rested for a while, and walked all afternoon.

Yu Qing was a little ashamed, she should have picked it up if she really wanted to come.

Granny Zhang didn't come in, she was looking around at the courtyard gate, the second aunt supported her and called Yu Qing out, she tremblingly fished out something from her blue pocket and said, "I've wanted to give it back to you a long time ago, But you've been away, so today's the day. Thank you, it's useful."

After speaking, she turned and left.

Ask again, she just muttered to go home.

The second aunt couldn't ask.

Yu Qing looked at his hand, it was a stone not big enough to slap a palm, with simple knife workmanship and simple lines, depicting facial features, hands and feet, it was an image of a villain.It seems that it has been preserved for many years. The surface of the stone man is smooth and has been covered with pulp.

He was puzzled when Hu Er came over and complained, "Such a poor craftsmanship must be the work of old man Yu."

Yu Qingcai suddenly realized - so this thing was lent by Grandpa to Granny Zhang? !

Did Granny Zhang recognize the wrong person before and took him as a grandfather?

He called his parents with speculation.

"The Zhang family..." Yu's father recalled, "It should have been at that time when the brick kiln that the youngest son of the Zhang family lived in collapsed and was seriously injured, with a broken leg. He borrowed money everywhere for medical treatment, and asked your grandfather Borrow it..."

However, after the grandfather passed away, the descendants of the Zhang family had already returned the money to the Yu family.As for the stone man that Granny Zhang gave, Yu Qing's father didn't know either.

"Your grandpa is a weird person. He likes to collect objects. Not to mention, he still put away the teeth I replaced. But he has a lot of small things that we don't want to touch. I remember they put them away in the attic. Are you okay? Go up and look around, maybe you can find a lot." Yu's father said, "The stone man you mentioned, I guess...is a token? He rarely gives it away. If he does, he must have an agreement with someone."

Yu Qing could only put away the stone figurines first, and put them in the window behind the counter in the living room together with the little figures he made.

He didn't go to the attic to search for it for the time being, but he only remembered that when he was cleaning it, there were several wooden boxes and boxes on it, and they were locked.To open it, you need a key.But no one knows where the key to the box is.

Even the old house doesn't know it. In order to save energy, it often naps, and occasionally pays attention to the surrounding things.

The relics of the old man still seem to be very precious collections, he is not easy to open the box violently.After all, even the wooden box was exquisite.Anyway, it’s okay to leave it for so many years, so let’s keep it.

Yu Qing put it aside and continued to live his little life.

It's getting colder after autumn, but the small courtyard is still warm, gradually attracting many guests.

The first to come to spend the winter is Yu Qing's former colleague, Jiang Qing.

This girl is the front desk of their company, the most beautiful flower.

"I've been transferred to the personnel department a long time ago, Xiaoyu, your memory bank has to be refreshed." Jiang Qing smiled.

She also joined the company earlier than Yu Qing, seeing them working overtime and staying up late, she also understood Yu Qing's choice of returning home.

"If I'm old, I'll buy a piece of land and grow vegetables for the rest of my life." She squatted in the vegetable field and said while picking tomatoes.

Yu Qing said: "You should have saved a lot of money over the years, you can buy it."

Jiang Qing subconsciously said: "Where did you come from? I just bought a house, paid the down payment, and carried the mortgage. Where did the money come from?"

However, when she saw Yu Qing smiling, she blinked and said, "However, if you, Xiao Yu, do not manage well and cannot make ends meet, you can still borrow it from me. If you want to go back to work, my sister can give it to you right away." arrange!"

Yu Qing didn't know whether to laugh or cry and said, "You guys have no confidence in me opening a shop."

Jiang Qing also said happily: "Because you don't look like a profiteer at first glance. You know that there are no profiteers and no businessmen."

She found a bright red tomato, she was very happy, wiped it on her clothes, took a bite, praised it, and then said: "I have been a bit stingy recently, and I am the only one who supports the two elders at home. Woolen cloth."

Yu Qing asked suspiciously, "Is your brother working?"

He knew that Jiang Qing's family conditions were not good, and after work, she basically paid for her younger brother's tuition.

"He's dumbfounded. It's only been a few years since he came out, and the money he earns isn't enough for him to spend. What's the use?" Jiang Qing said helplessly. Money will do."

Yu Qing nodded.He had died suddenly, so he naturally knew the importance of the body.

Originally, Jiang Qing came here with great difficulty, and he wanted to show her around, but she said she didn't need it.

"I just want to find a quiet place for two days. It's warm here, and you can dress easily. It's too troublesome outside." She rolled up her sleeves and washed a fresh eggplant, and asked, "How about grilled eggplant tonight?"

Yu Qing nodded.Guests love the smell and ambience of the BBQ.

Jiang Qing chatted with him about the company again, for example, a younger girl at the front desk came, and the company's senior management changed a lot, Ren Feng became more energetic.

"And Lao Yu, after hearing that he owed debts, Ren Feng still asked me to lend him money, do you think this person is stupid? Lao Yu really needs it, can I still not take it away? Although he owes so much , everyone is a drop in the bucket. Hey, fortunately, you have someone you know..."

Yu Qing listened well at first, but couldn't help but wondered when he got here: "I know you?"

"Yeah, didn't Lao Yu come to you before?" Jiang Qing said, "He said that one of your friends made a move, filled his account, and even asked him to invest."

Yu Qing: "..."

Lao Yu had been here before, but he left without even borrowing money, and gave birth to Stone Mountain.

He thought about it, and among the people he knew whose assets could match, probably only the guests here.

Yao Meng?Chen Jin?Or Lao Tao?Yao Meng and Chen Jin have never talked to Yu Qian at all, it can't be...

He didn't deny Jiang Qing's words, and decided to wait for Lao Tao to come back from fishing and ask for clarification.

Jiang Qing told him about the new front desk girl again.

"She is so good at spending money, she maxes out her credit card every month, and keeps asking me to borrow money..." she said helplessly.Because she is her junior, and she recommended her to join the company, so she would naturally help her out.

"Everyone knows that you are generous and always treat guests, and she has a good relationship with you, so she will definitely borrow from you." Yu Qing said.So when Jiang Qing cried poor just now, he didn't believe it at all.

"Oh... I've tried my best to pretend to be poor." Jiang Qing sighed, and the phone rang. "Look, it's not the phone call again, I bet you will borrow money from me again..."

While nagging, she still picked up the phone and went to talk in the distance.

She looked a little unhappy when she came back.

Yu Qing asked: "Borrowed?"

Jiang Qing gave a muffled "hmm" and said, "It's my younger brother. Do you think he can borrow money from me? They are both the same parents. If he doesn't pay me back, what else can I do?"

But she was still in a bad mood until the barbecue started.

When the guests came down, she was surprised: "I underestimated you, there are so many people hidden in the room."

Yu Qing was very funny. "They all stay at home and rarely go out."

Jiang Qing said enviously, "If I live here, I don't want to go out."

Besides grilled eggplant, her favorite thing is barbecue, but unfortunately she always has to answer the phone halfway through the roast.After several phone calls in a row, she went upstairs sullenly, saying that she wanted to discuss with her colleagues.

At night, the aroma of cooked food filled the air, even the second aunt next door was attracted, but Jiang Qing still didn't come down.

When Yu Qing brought the barbecue, she was still in a daze.

"What should I do? She asked me to borrow it again." Jiang Qing murmured, "If she refuses to borrow it, she will no longer be a friend."

Yu Qing said: "Such a friend, let's not do it."

Jiang Qing stammered: "But... she still owes me some money and hasn't paid it back."

Yu Qing: "How much?"

It was only after he asked this that he found out that Jiang Qing had borrowed a total of [-] to [-] yuan one after another. There were also some cosmetics and accessories borrowed for "use". The other party always forgot to return them, let alone eat and eat drank.

It was just a small amount at first, and then gradually became more frequent.Jiang Qing is a person who spends money lavishly. She spends her heart and soul on her friends and rarely cares about them.I didn't realize until the amount increased, who would have borrowed so much without knowing it...

"I bought a house this year and found out after doing the math," she said helplessly. "Sometimes when I want to ask, she says that I will pay it back together. Then she sells it badly, and I will..."

As she spoke, her cell phone rang again.

Jiang Qing's face suddenly changed, hesitating whether to pick it up or not.

Yu Qing took it over and picked up the phone.

Jiang Qing watched him talk on the phone gently, her nervous mood gradually calmed down.

"Okay. Remember that from now on, you have an extra brother. He is not doing a good job in running the hotel and is about to close down. He is short of someone to lend money to. If anyone borrows money from you in the future, ask me first." Yu Qing put down the phone and said, "You change the hotel." No, give me this card temporarily, and I will get the money back for you."

Jiang Qing: "Why?"

"Don't ask, I have my own way, you eat first."

Jiang Qing nodded and started eating happily.

When Yu Qing left, she lay down again with a heavy heart.

If you go back to the company like this, you have to meet each other every day, isn't it very embarrassing.

But she was right.

At the beginning, she lent it out without hesitation out of caring and sympathy, but later she refused to borrow it, and instead called her stingy and her.

She trusted others to lend it out, why is it so difficult to get it back?She also looks like a villain...

She tossed and turned in bed until she woke up the next morning, thinking of this, she couldn't help rolling again.

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...

In this case, she should be stingy and be a villain!

She made up her mind, turned over, quickly washed up, and went downstairs. She didn't notice that the little person who was crushed on the bed struggled to get up, stretched her arms and kicked her legs, and found that she was fine, and exhaled.

It bounced and huffed out the window.

When Yu Qing was eating breakfast, he found something extra on Jiang Qing's body.

That's a humanoid... a cardboard figure?

The old house corrected: "This guy is not a paper villain. He is a borrower, an emotional villain who takes care of borrowing and repaying."

Yu Qing: "??"

"I heard that the giants borrowed things from the little people and often forgot to return them—because the little people and their things were too small. The giants were particularly easy to ignore, and the little people were very distressed, so they gave birth to the little people who borrowed time. "

Sometimes the villain is flat, like a paper man cut out of a piece of white paper, only glowing.At first it stuck to Jiang Qing's back, and when it heard the sucking sound of eating noodles, it suddenly floated up, lay on Jiang Qing's shoulder, and stretched its head hard, as if trying to see what she was eating.

Obviously the villain only has an outline, and can't even see the facial features.It is obviously a paper man, but Yu Qing found that... it seems to be drooling?

At this time Jiang Qing suddenly said: "Xiao Yu, I've made up my mind, I won't change my phone number. I can handle it myself."

If she said this yesterday, Yu Qing might still be a little worried.But now, he looked at the little girl who was fiddling with her earrings curiously...

"Okay. If you can't handle it, come to me." Yu Qing said.

"I will definitely come again." Jiang Qing said happily, "I have already planned the annual vacation next time."

She seemed to really let go of her worries and went out to visit the scenic spot.Then he brought back a box full of melons and fruits.

By chance, the villain sat on her head and waved in the direction of the old house.

When Jiang Qing returned to the company, she met the girl at the front desk who borrowed money at the convenience store downstairs. She bought the same drink as her and drank it as soon as it was opened. She smiled and said to the cashier, "We are together."

Jiang Qing thought it was coming again!

She smiled gently and said, "Sister, how dare you spend your money? Let's just pay our own."

After finishing speaking, she scanned the QR code, paid and left cleanly.

After taking two steps, he turned back and said, "By the way, how much money did you borrow from me before? We have time to reconcile the account after get off work."

"..."

Behind her, while listening to her muttering, the villain rubbed his hands together.It rolled up a curl, and the other hand tore it along the edge, and got a more transparent, identical little figure.Rub again, one, and another.

[rubbing rubbing~]

Many transparent villains floated, sticking closely behind the angry girl at the front desk.

From that day on, the girl at the front desk was suddenly full of IOUs, although she had never typed an IOU.In the beginning, countless villains popped up in my dreams to remind myself.Later, every time the villain made a sound, she would have a headache, which was unbearable and no one could cure it.

It's just that every time a sum of money is paid, a villain disappears.
