Xiaowen was afraid that he would not be able to help the old man when he entered, so he insisted on staying at the door and being the gatekeeper.

Geng Zhen smiled and walked into the lobby.

When Liu Dongshun's parents saw a stranger, they cried even louder, with a long voice, just like folk actors singing big dramas on TV, and Xiaowen almost laughed angrily.

Lao Gao and the others hid on the second floor, and there was no other person in the lobby except Geng Zhen, so he sat on Lao Sun's rocking chair casually, seeing the two old men staring at him without crying or cursing, he also reminded: " keep going."

As a result, the other people in the inn finally got two seconds of cleanliness, and their ears were hit again.

Every time the couple's voice fell, Geng Zhen would slowly say a sarcastic remark, which successfully made the couple's voice two degrees higher. After an hour, the couple's voices became broken, and their throats were sore and numb after holding them. sounded.

Geng Zhen raised his eyelids and took a look, and saw the couple sitting down on the sofa in the lobby with their arms, touching the upside-down teacup on the table.

"The two guests are eating or staying in the hotel?" Geng Zhen smiled and said, "The guests staying in the hotel are free of food and water."

——Guests who go whoring for nothing can only reap yin and yang.

The old man paused, and was too embarrassed to touch the teacup on the table again.

Unconvinced, the old lady grabbed the tea cup on the table, put it in front of her, and raised her chin to Geng Zhen: "Call the old grandson out, my son died at the door of his shop, he must be responsible for this matter!"

"Bah, shame on you guys!" Xiaowen couldn't help it, and stood at the door with his hips akimbo, cursing angrily.

Seeing someone answering, the old man and the old lady became even more furious, and regardless of the hoarse throat, they started a new round of fighting against Xiaowen at the door.

Geng Zhen supported his forehead, sighed softly, and sat back in the rocking chair, ignoring all the disturbance, and closed his eyes for a nap.

When Xiaowen was tired of shouting, the old man and the old lady were still holding on to the armrest of the sofa and cursing.

After saying the phrase "lose money" back and forth hundreds of times, Xiaowen was completely convinced, thinking he was not an opponent, and retreated to the door to close his circle.

The old man and the old lady were triumphant, and ordered another person in the lobby: "Just you, the one who pretends to sleep on the rocking chair, come and pour water for us."

Geng Zhen opened his eyes, with a smile on his face, and said slowly: "The accommodation is free of food and water."

Old man and old lady: "..." I came to ask you for money, and you still want me to spend money?

Geng Zhen: "Since you don't live in the store, and you two have plenty of time, why don't we talk about another matter."

"There's nothing to talk about except losing money!" The old man and the old lady are firm. They come to the house every day to make trouble, and they only want money.

"What I'm going to talk about is about money." Geng Zhen took out the red plastic bag in his pocket, shook it open, unfolded the IOUs one by one, and put them on the table in front of the old man, "Liu Dongshun is out I borrowed a lot of money, and since the others have left, as the saying goes, the father pays his debts, and the son’s debts can only be found on your heads, about a hundred yuan, no more, no less, do you have this money?"

The two who clamored for "losing money" just now fell silent, and the husband and wife gave each other a wink when they looked at each other.

Geng Zhen waited unhurriedly for the two to finish interacting, and suddenly restrained the sloppy smile on his face.

Geng Zhen sat back in the rocking chair: "If you don't pay back the money today, you don't even think about leaving here."

Xiaowen hid at the door and ran swiftly to close the door.

The couple: "..."

The second floor had heard the movement a long time ago, and now they saw this unreasonable couple deflated.They took the IOUs in their hands and went downstairs to join in the fun.

"Hey, Liu Dongshun still owes my little two hundred. I didn't find anyone when I went to your house before. I didn't expect you to find it by yourself. Isn't it a coincidence? Pay back the money, old man." The couple fought against Xiaowen just now.

Xiao Gao slapped the IOU under the table, which shocked the couple, "Although Liu Dongshun only lent me 100 yuan, the time is not short, and the interest is calculated on the outside, which is almost ten yuan. Clear it up."

The two sang together, they really looked like little hooligans, the couple usually bullied the weak and feared the strong, they could sell the old to Xiao Wen, but they didn't dare to say a harsh word to Lao Gao.

"Which family has such a high interest rate, ten yuan is enough for half a month's expenses." The old lady couldn't help retorting when she heard Xiao Gao's words.

"At the beginning, Liu Dongshun didn't care about borrowing money from me." Xiao Gao said with a threatening attitude: "We don't want to bother him anymore, so your elder brother will help you pay it back."

Geng Zhen took one more look at Xiao Gao, thinking that this person is quite skillful in asking for money.

The two elders of the Liu family misappropriated money, and instead got into trouble with a group of debtors.

Lao Gao and Xiao Gao followed the couple back to get the money, Geng Zhen was almost lying in the rocking chair, staring at the rain falling outside the door.

Xiao Wen waited for the annoying couple to leave, and then jumped in the door. He offered Geng Zhen a cup of hot tea, "I'm lucky to have you today. I'm so happy to see them slumped."

Geng Zhen took the tea, glanced at him, and pointed out leisurely: "They are bleeding heavily today, and they will definitely push you even harder in the future."

The smile froze on Xiaowen's face.

Oh yes.

What Geng Zhen said was right, the old couple is now repaying the previous loan for their son, and they have less money in their hands, so they must take advantage of the inn to suck blood.

Xiaowen scratched his hair, and with a sad expression on his face, he sat in the wicker chair next to him and sighed.

After drinking a cup of tea, Geng Zhen said with a light smile, "Why don't you tell me about Liu Dongshun's family, maybe I can give you an idea?"

Xiaowen hesitated for a moment, and talked with Geng Zhen about the trivial matters of the Liu family for a long time.

After listening to Geng Zhen, he couldn't help feeling that this Liu Dongshun is really a prodigal waste.

"He still owes a lot of wine money at the inn! The money has been accumulated a lot. I originally wanted to settle the score. My uncle said that if you die, you don't want it, but look at the two old men in his family. You know me well, and you asked us for money instead.” Xiaowen became more and more angry as he spoke, his teeth itch with hatred.

"To tell you the truth, every time Liu Dongshun came to the inn, he started talking nonsense after drinking some wine. He said that his wife was unclean, and after marrying her, all bad things happened, and he also said that the house was haunted."

As Xiaowen talked, he felt that it was too outrageous, so he laughed twice, "I think he just started making up his own stories after drinking too much."

Geng Zhen listened carefully, chatted with Xiaowen a few more words, went back to the room on the second floor, sat at the table and meditated for a while.His eyes fell on the window that he closed by himself last night.

He went to the window and stared for a moment at the water stains spreading on the sill.

Geng Zhen paused when his eyes turned to the potting stand.

When having dinner that day, Geng Zhen told the innkeeper that the bed in his room was accidentally sprinkled with water, could he change it.

Holding the rice bowl in his hands, Xiao Wen said while cooking the rice: "The only one left in the inn is the one closest to the stairs."

Lao Sun stopped his chopsticks before taking a few bites, leaned back in his chair and nodded casually.

When he left, Lao Sun seemed to think of something, and said, "Don't open the window in the room, that window has been broken all the time, and it can't be closed when it is opened."

Geng Zhen nodded in response, and Lao Sun swayed his tall and thin body back to the house to rest.

Second floor, first guest room.

Geng Zhen was standing at the door with his luggage. It was indeed as Qin Ni said, the floor of this room was too sticky. After taking two steps, Geng Zhen felt that the soles of his shoes were about to stick to the floor and could not be lifted.

The humidity in the room was frighteningly high. The wooden furniture and floor of the room were soaked in moisture, and the visual effect looked darker than other rooms. Even if someone said that the place had just been washed by water, Geng Zhen believed it.

Geng Zhen turned around and found that the layout of the room was almost the same as his original room, except that there were some more exquisite gadgets.

There is a smiling porcelain doll on the bedside table, and a palm-sized garden mirror on the dressing table. The potting stand is not an orchid from other rooms, but a pot of longevity flowers.

The longevity flowers in the white porcelain flower pots are wilting and almost dead.

After removing the wire that bound the window in the same way, Geng Zhen exerted force, and the window was separated from the body, completely separated from the wall.

Geng Zhen stared at the broken wooden window in his hand and thought for a moment. He really didn't expect this window to be so fragile.

The window faces the toilet and water well in the front yard. From a distance, you can still see the arch bridge over the river.

The thin raindrops outside the window were blown in by the wind, and the front yard was dark in the night, and the mouth of the well was like a hideous mouth, revealing an ominous atmosphere faintly.

Geng Zhen tried to put the window back on.After several failures, you can only give up.

Putting the broken wooden window under the potted plant stand, when he stood up, Geng Zhen noticed a nail for hanging things on the wall behind the potted plant stand.

When Geng Zhen entered the room, he felt that the wall was empty, but now it seems that there is indeed something missing.

After searching every corner of the room, Geng Zhen found a dark layer in the closet.

In the dark layer are a few copybooks, the paper has turned yellow and fragile, it can be seen that it has been placed for some years.

There are only a few simple words in the copybooks, but the owner of the copybooks copied them too hard, the writing was light and the writing was weak, and there were obvious traces of being torn in the middle of a few copies.

An inscription was pressed at the bottom.

—I love you forever, dear friend.

Geng Zhen glanced over the place where the signature was signed, and his eyes were fixed.

There used to be two people who left their names there.

Late at night, Geng Zhen was sitting at the table, guessing that the time was almost up, so he went to the bedside table to search for the flashlight that Xiao Wen said was equipped in every room.

The flashlight here needs to consume dry batteries. Geng Zhen took a few spare dry batteries and walked down the stairs with light steps.

Ning Wang followed behind him, and just after taking two steps, the little panda wrapped around his legs.

Ke Ji had already followed Geng Zhen down, only the little panda was lazy and didn't want to take a step, so he found Ning Wang to hug him.

Ning Wang picked it up, and just two steps away, he saw Geng Zhen in front of him suddenly turning his head, staring at the little panda in his arms with complicated eyes, and then slowly moved up, staying on Ning Wang's eyes with too much precision. face.

The notification sound was also taken aback.

[He saw you? 】

[Impossible, the BUG has not been fixed, he cannot see you. 】

Just when the notification tone made Ning Wang uneasy, Geng Zhen turned around and walked down the last step as if he hadn't seen anything.
