Healing Hotel

At night in the countryside, in addition to flying and twinkling fireflies, there is also a high and distant starry sky.

After eating, Yu Qing made tea, took the food out, and watched the fireflies and the stars.

Freshly picked fruit today.The longan at the gate of the courtyard is ripe, earthy, sweet, smooth, and easy to explode. Just like what Hu Er said, it has a special aroma. Even if there are only a pile of shells left, the aroma is still overflowing.

Since Hu Er mixed into human society, he likes to eat sweets the most, so even though he has no meat, he sat outside with Yu Qing to eat.

In order to watch the stars, Yu Qing also asked the old house to turn off the leading lights.Go to bed early in the country, the night is dark, and the starry sky looks particularly bright.Yu Qing watched while eating, half of the time passed before he knew it, and for the first time he was still awake at 12 o'clock.

Because the night sky after midnight has the most stars.

The consequence was that he got up late the next day and didn't even know that there were guests.

This time there were four guests, all girls, who came out to play together during the summer vacation of college.Several people worked part-time for a month to save money, and spent the rest of the time traveling.

Two of the four girls are lively and playful, all surnamed Qiao; one is serious, surnamed Zhou; the other is gentle and honest, surnamed Jiang.

Xiao Zhou seemed to be the backbone of the four of them, able to plan and direct, and took the initiative to coordinate the room as soon as he arrived at the hotel.

"As usual, Jiang Ning, you should share a room with Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao." Xiao Zhou said.

She knew that Jiang Ning's family's financial conditions were not very good, and the sisters of Qiao's family liked to be lively, so they didn't mind, and wished they could book a room for four of them to live together.

"But...do I want to go with you?" Jiang Ning looked at the two sisters who were fighting not far away, and said in a low voice.

"I will snore when I sleep." Xiao Zhou said, "You will not be able to sleep."

In fact, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao are also very noisy... She thought to herself.However, she also knew that Xiao Zhou was thinking for her, so she didn't say any more and acquiesced.

Yu Qing comforted: "It's okay, I can arrange three beds for you. You students, uh...a discount."

Jiang Ning thanked her repeatedly.

In the room, the girls were all pleasantly surprised.They came all the way, and the budget hotel they stayed in was quite simple in layout and very small in space.But in this quaint and remote hotel, the room is quite big, and the size of the three beds has not shrunk.Induction lights and sinks, and even a bathtub!

"Ah, you can take a bath!"

"I just said, I must have a good eye. You guys hit me before." Xiao Zhou smiled.

The sisters of the Qiao family went to tickle her happily.

Jiang Ning also smiled.She also likes this room, the atmosphere here makes her feel very peaceful.

After putting away their things, the four girls went out happily. They were quite predictable. They found a good place to live nearby before going out to play, so that they would not panic when it got dark.

But in the evening, they came back laughing and joking, but there were only three of them.

Yu Qing said, "Where's Xiao Jiang?"

The three girls looked back, empty.

"Isn't she following us all the time?" Da Qiao hesitated.

"When did you get lost..." Xiao Qiao also wondered.

Xiao Zhou supported his forehead and said, "It's probably because we walked too fast, and she has been slow."

Fortunately, just as Yu Qing wanted to help find it, he heard the three-headed dog barking.

I saw Jiang Ning carrying a big bag and a small bag, and came in panting.

"Ah Jiang Ning, you are so slow!"

"It scared us to death..."

"I can't keep up with you next time... Hey, isn't this the porcelain doll I bought?!"

"Ah, the transfer bracelet I bought!"

The girls took things from her with a chirping chirp.

Jiang Ning said helplessly: "You are walking too fast, you forget to pick up the things after shopping. As soon as I got them and turned around, you squeezed into the crowd, and you couldn't even shout."

"Hey, did you shout? I didn't hear it."

"I didn't either..."

"There will be a lot of people there. Jiang Ning's voice is too low, and I probably can't hear it clearly. It's okay, just come back."

Jiang Ning didn't say much, put down her things and went back to her room.

However, the sisters of the Qiao family always moved faster than her. The two of them rushed upstairs first, and when she went up, they found that they had already used the bathroom first.

Jiang Ning had to sit on the bed and wait. She was a little tired and couldn't help but lie down after sitting for a while.

Unexpectedly, she lay down until dark, and Er Qiao took a bath in it and didn't come out.

She asked several times.The two sisters smiled and said: "Let's soak for a while, if you are in a hurry, why don't you go to the bar together, the water is so comfortable."

"Don't worry, I'm afraid you won't know if you soak for too long and become dizzy." Jiang Ning chose to continue waiting.She's too shy to take a bath with anyone, and she's never used a bathtub.

She dozed off again without knowing it, and when she woke up, she was surprised to find that the sisters had fallen asleep.

Er Qiao is very energetic, especially good at chatting. Before staying at the hotel, they played during the day and played games before going to bed at night. They talked until two o'clock before going to bed.

And Jiang Ning was a light sleeper, and couldn't fall asleep listening to them talking.That's why she wanted to live with Xiao Zhou.

What a strange night... the sisters actually fell asleep before her.

However, she can sleep soundly tonight.Jiang Ning breathed a sigh of relief.After walking for a day, she was really tired, so she decided to take a bath too.

The temperature of the water is just right, and there are small bubbles coming up from the bottom of the water, which is very interesting.After playing for a while, she turned on her mobile phone to scan the information, and found that Xiao Zhou had already decided on tomorrow's itinerary, and even three meals.

"I told you I won't eat fish anymore..." Jiang Ning thought melancholy.

She checked her phone again and found that she was so busy taking things for them today that she completely forgot to take pictures.Looking through the circle of friends of my friends, there are beautiful selfies.

She clicked a round of likes and looked carefully for a long time, but she couldn't find herself in it. Everyone posted beautiful photos of herself, and she was a little disappointed.

She even forgot to take a landscape photo...

She was in a daze when she heard a gurgling sound.

hungry.

Only then did Jiang Ning realize that it was already past twelve o'clock at night!She didn't eat!

Hunger forced her to end the bath.

But when she came out, she was stunned again.All she had in her bag was a loaf of bread.I didn't buy any snacks on the road today.

She remembered that Er Qiao had bought a lot, but the two of them had already fallen asleep, and it seemed a little unkind to wake them up...

Secretly eat?It would be too embarrassing if found out...

Jiang Ning gnawed on the bread and struggled, but finally fell asleep.I took a photo of the room before going to bed and posted a circle: I lived in the love room of my dream ~ I am so happy :)

Tomorrow, she thought to herself, she must remember to buy food tomorrow!

However, the next day, she not only forgot again, but also came back alone at last.

Er Qiao was still so rough, when he bought something, he would immediately rush over to see something novel and interesting, forgetting about it.Fortunately, Xiao Zhou remembered to take it this time, but just patronized to chase Er Qiao and left her behind.

"I thought you would follow..." Xiao Zhou said shyly.

"It's okay." Jiang Ning said softly.She is used to it.

She has always been a very inconspicuous person. In the class, the students are in groups, and she has always followed others. No one has ever cared about her behind her.The teacher never named her, as if she didn't exist.

Until one day she picked up Da Qiao's lost wallet and sent it back. Da Qiao swore to repay him because she refused to accept the reward.

So inexplicably, they became good friends - Da Qiao unilaterally announced.

Er Qiao's good friend Xiao Zhou also became her friend.Because the two sisters are relatively careless, it is basically Xiao Zhou who keeps in touch with her.But Xiao Zhou is a cadre of the student union and is very busy, so it is inevitable that there will be omissions.

Although Jiang Ning is called for every event, it is often Er Qiao who rushes in front, and Xiao Zhou hurriedly chases after him.Jiang Ning was at the end, and it took a while for Xiao Zhou to come back to find her.

She was used to being alone before, and she never felt anything.

But after having friends, she suddenly felt that she had no sense of existence.

Everyone sent a message together, but she was always ignored.

Discuss together, her opinion is always not agreed.

When eating together, there will always be dishes that she doesn't like.

Take pictures together, she is always on the edge...

Jiang Ning sat in the room, turned on her mobile phone, checked Moments and was stunned again. She really forgot to take a picture today.

Look again, Xiao Zhou gave Er Qiao a like, but hers, no.

Nothing.

……

Jiang Ning fell asleep annoyed.

If you fall asleep, you won't have any troubles.she thought.

However, she woke up from hunger, only to remember that she forgot to eat dinner again, which made her even more uncomfortable.woo woo woo...

She was sobbing in her heart, when she suddenly heard the phone ring, she couldn't help but froze, and quickly picked up the phone to look.

Someone in the small group asked: Is Jiang Ning awake?Woke up for supper.

Jiang Ning: Savior! !

When she ran down, Yu Qing was already cooking noodles.

"Ah, classmate Qiao pulled me into the group." Yu Qing said.Er Qiao is too enthusiastic and insists on adding friends with him.

Yu Qing saw what the girls were thinking, and didn't intend to let them misunderstand, so she didn't add.I couldn't help it, so I joined their group.I didn't expect it to come in handy tonight.

"I wanted to ask you last night, but I didn't dare to knock on the door. Do you want fried eggs or boiled eggs?" Yu Qing said.Yesterday she quickly fell asleep again, and Lao Zhai was not sure if she was hungry or not.

"Omelette." Jiang Ning was so hungry that his eyes were dimmed. "Is it okay not to put coriander and chili?"

Yu Qing: "Okay."

After Jiang Ning ate the noodles, her stomach warmed up and her heart felt much better.

"Come down next time when you're hungry, no matter what time of day, there will always be people in the living room." Yu Qing urged.

Even if Hu Er fell asleep, he would keep the TV on.If someone comes down, the old house will wake him up.

Jiang Ning happily went up, went back to the room lightly, thought about it, and posted the photo of eating noodles——

tasty:)

……

When she woke up, Jiang Ning found that the two circles of friends were still alone.But for some reason, there was no disturbance in her heart, and she told her friends that she would take a rest today, so she would not go to play.

No one has any doubts.

Er Qiao went out carelessly.Xiao Zhou rushed to catch up again and reminded them to bring things.

Sure enough, she has no sense of existence... Jiang Ning was not sad, and ran to the yard to play on the swings, and then she found that the yard was super interesting.

There are miniature trees growing on the large and small stones, water drips from somewhere on the eaves, and the water-like ripples on the door wall are fleeting.

Jiang Ning was very strange.A wall is a wall, not a water surface, so how could there be water ripples?

As she approached there, she found that the ripples shifted quickly, from the grass, to the tree, and then to the door of the house.

There is no door there, the door is open.But as soon as the ripples appear, it's like there's a transparent wall there.

Jiang Ning poked the circle of ripples curiously, felt a strong suction, and fell into it unexpectedly.

……

Yu Qing looked at the door.Jiang Ning didn't know where she went again, she was about to enter the door just now.

Delusion?

The old house suddenly woke up and said: "It's gone!"

It started to move up and down the branches quietly, looking for something.

Yu Qing asked: "What's wrong?"

"The little girl is gone!" said the old man. "Took away!"

"what?!"

When Yu Qing contacted Xiao Zhou and the others, they were startled and ran back in a hurry.

"Did she sleep in the room? Have you checked the room?"

"What about the tree?"

"It won't fall into the water, huh huh..."

The girls were more distracted than he was, rummaging around in the yard, even wishing to lift up the stone mountain to have a look.

Jiang Ning's disappearance sounds a bit unbelievable, but Yu Qing thinks she should still be around here.

The old house said that she disappeared suddenly, so it must be an unusual event.To say there's anything out of the ordinary here... too many!

Hu Er was called over to help, sniffed it, and said to Yu Qing with a puzzled expression, "Her smell is very strange, it disappears for a while, and the appearance is very short."

"That's right!" The old house suddenly slapped a branch and said, "There are stars, I saw them just now!"

From its perspective, people are very bright clusters of light. The moment Jiang Ning's light disappeared, it saw a small star flashing by.

"Over there, there appeared again!"

"Ah, ran away..."

However, the stars are fleeting, and even the old house has no way to catch them.

"For humans, it may not exist. Only our tree house can see them, shining like stars." The old house is a little worried, it is still too young, and has no experience in dealing with many small emotions.

However, Yu Qing noticed a strange ripple after listening to his reminder several times.It's like the ripples on the surface of a fish breathing underwater.

If that's what the old man said about the star, then it's just a mischievous and cunning fish, spitting here and there.

Every time Yu Qing rushed over, it disappeared.

"So, can she see us?" Yu Qing panted.

[sure……]

[I'm here……]

[Hello……]

Jiang Ning shouted.

She was pulled into a strange state, and the surrounding scenery was somewhat unreal.Her footsteps were a little heavy, and the resistance of the air increased. She could only walk slowly, and couldn't run at all, and couldn't keep up with them.It's like... being in water.

"Jiang Ning—"

"Jiang Lemon—"

She heard her companion's call, reverberating as if from heaven, but could not answer.Her voice echoed only around her.

She looked at them anxiously, and suddenly there was a ripple in her heart.

[It turns out...they still care about me a little...]

"Jiang Lemon woo woo woo..."

Seeing Da Qiao squatting down and starting to cry, she felt a little sad.

However, good chance!She was finally able to rush over, patted her on the shoulder and said: [Don't cry...]

However, the next moment Jiang Ning missed and passed through her.

A huge sense of emptiness whizzed by.She suddenly realized that she really... disappeared from that world.

When she was covering her face in sadness and powerlessness, a voice suddenly said: [It turns out that it is like this...]

She turned her head and saw the owner of the hotel slowly falling from the sky.

[Boss Xiaoyu! ]

[Well, don't be afraid. ] Yu Qing fell to the ground and looked around curiously.

This is what the old house told him, the world of stars?

……

"Our world has two skies, one is above and the other is below. But hey, the sky below can only be seen by tree houses. Usually it will be in small rivers, streams, rivers, lakes and seas. Look in the water, is there another sky? The sky?" The old man pointed to Yu Qing.

"Isn't this a reflection?"

"Yes, people only see the reflection. Even the humans in our world, few people know the sky below. The stars are hidden there, and they come out occasionally. Like you said, people can't see it. Its light is only a circle of ripples."

"Then how do we get out?"

The problem is that the old house doesn't know either.It has no memory of a human straying into another sky.

So now, Yu Qing can only comfort Jiang Ning first: [Don't worry, I will take you out. ]

He just accidentally hit Ripple and was pulled in, but there seems to be no exit here, and no one outside can be contacted.

However, this sky is quite interesting, as if there is no water in it.So he can float in the air by clicking his feet, even swim around, stand on his head,

What's even more peculiar is that they can also enter the house and sit on the sofa, watch TV, and drink tea, just like the real reflection of their world...

After playing enough, he sat down cross-legged, or an idea popped up in his mind, and tried to call: "586?"

"Why, I'm busy, I have to wait two more days...huh?" 586 said mechanically, and it took a while to react.

"Host!!! What are you doing, Apiao?! Didn't I tell you not to run around!!"

Yu Qing found that their communication of consciousness was not hindered, it seemed to be saved.

"Hmph, if you want me to save someone, you have to pay a price." 586 was extremely unhappy.It's a hell system, in hell there are only dead people, saving people... doesn't exist!

It thought for a while, and said seductively, "Then what are you willing to pay, host?"

Yu Qing asked: "Have you settled the task? Are the props cleared?"

"..."

At the entrance of the small courtyard, 586 appeared expressionlessly.

All the chickens, dogs and foxes in the yard jumped on him enthusiastically, but he put aside angrily and said, "Can you hear me?"

Yu Qing knew that he was asking herself, so she said, "Yes."

586 said angrily: "Since you don't want to trade, then use props to open a ghost door."

Yu Qing: "There's a girl here..." If you see hell, don't you be scared to death?

"Don't worry, let's go through the small door, we won't see anything there." 586 said unhappily.

Yu Qing agreed.

586 turned back and said, "Old house, lend me a door to hide."

The old house: "Oh..."

When the old house opened another door in Yu Qing's room, Yu Qing was ushered in, and asked suspiciously, "Just go in?"

586: "Don't underestimate the gates of hell!"

Yu Qing opened the door and found that it was really dark inside, and he couldn't see anything. He turned around and took Jiang Ning's hand, and stepped into the door.

Jiang Ning trotted along, fearing that she would be left behind.From the corner of her eye, she seemed to see a light, and subconsciously stretched out her hand to catch it.

"Don't look back, and don't look up, down, left, or right, just look at me." Yu Qing calmly pulled her and walked slowly.

The small gate of hell is like a teleportation array in the dungeon, and it arrives in the blink of an eye, but it is obviously different in the human world, with no end in sight.No one knows what lies in the darkness.

Jiang Ning flinched.She seemed to hear a lot of complicated voices, crying, laughing and cursing, and it seemed that someone was calling her name from behind.

"Don't bother, just pretend that you don't exist." Yu Qing said.

Jiang Ning was obedient and tried to reduce her sense of existence.This is what she is best at.

Sure enough, those voices gradually disappeared.

A light appeared ahead, and a tall black figure stood at the door.

Yu Qing walked over quickly, let her out first, and then was dragged out by 586.

Shura exerted great strength, a red mark immediately appeared on his wrist, and it hurt a little.It seems that 586 is angry.

However, he still asked Jiang Ning first: "Are you all right?"

Jiang Ning was looking at 586 from the side, a little scared, and said quickly: "No...by the way, I just...caught something."

As soon as she let go, a little light appeared.

Yu Qing saw it clearly, it was a pentagonal luminous body.He thought it was alive because its light was trembling slightly.

Poke it, it's soft and a little springy.Yu Qing was sure, it was indeed trembling.

[It was, discovered...]

[Human...QAQ]

[Can't see me, can't see me...]

This is the "star" that Lao Zhai said.Yu Qing thought about it, and saw it spit out bubbles, and then gradually disappeared.

Appears to have escaped.

"It's okay, Xing doesn't like little guys with a sense of presence. Once discovered, he won't act rashly. It will only appear when no one is paying attention." Lao Zhai said with great interest.It was the first time it saw the body of the "star" at such a close distance, and it was also the first time it saw someone give birth to a "star".

Because even the tree house family has never been to that sky.

When Jiang Ning went out, she was hugged and cried by her three companions for a long time, and it took a whole day of comforting them to restore their nature.

"Hey, haven't you been posting for thousands of years?" Da Qiao finally discovered the New World, "You don't call us for supper!"

"You're not here today, they dropped things again! I can't do it anymore." Xiao Zhou complained with a headache.

"By the way, just right! The bracelet is for you, put it on for luck, you've been out of your mind for the past few days... and the porcelain doll my sister bought, don't you think it looks like you hahaha."

Jiang Ning: "!!"

The four girls are back to where they were the first day.Jiang Ning was still so reticent, silently following behind, picking up things from time to time, and falling behind by two steps from time to time.But she stopped yelling anxiously and calmly made a phone call, and soon the three girls ran back, giggling and pulling her up.

As for the star, probably because it was captured, it never appeared again.

It's just that when there is no one, there will be a circle of ripples in the water.Sometimes in the stagnant water after the rain, sometimes in the fish pond, sometimes in the bucket, it is fleeting.
