Chapter 1680 Inn
Just when he was almost exhausted, two red lanterns appeared in front of him.
In such a dark rainy weather, such red lanterns are very conspicuous.
He Shihua ran directly to the door with red lanterns, and then he realized that this place was really an old-fashioned building. I don’t know which dynasty it was from, and they even used wood as building materials.
It seems that this is probably a hundred years old house.
And in front of this house, there is a plaque with the words "Inn" written on it.
He Shihua, who originally wanted to find a place to hide from the rain, immediately hesitated after seeing such a strange inn.
He couldn't figure out whether there would be any danger in this inn.
But it was raining so heavily outside that he ran all the way, and there seemed to be no place to hide from the rain.
Rumble...
A lightning suddenly appeared in front of He Shihua, and he was startled by the thunder that suddenly landed in front of him.
If this thunder was a little more biased, he might have died.
He Shihua swallowed with lingering fear, his whole body was already wet, and he finally chose to step into the inn.
The door of the inn was open, so he walked in like this. The hall appeared in front of him, which looked no different from the living room in the TV series, and there were chairs and tables.
This place should be a place for eating. But at this time, there was no one in the inn and it was deserted.
But it is not dirty and does not look like a abandoned place.
And just now he saw that there were candlelights inside the two red lanterns at the door.
This means that there are people here.
He Shihua started shouting: "Is there anyone? Is there anyone inside?" He shouted while walking inside.
He Shihua didn't get any answers for a long time. After thinking about it, he simply planned not to find someone.
Anyway, he came in just to hide from the rain, so there was no need to find someone.
"Hello!"
The sound that suddenly appeared behind him scared He Shihua. He hurriedly turned around and looked at him. An old man with white hair was smiling.
The old man was wearing coarse cloth clothes with a lot of patches on it. This looked very strange now. Even if he was poor, he would not be wearing so many patches now.
The old man was only about 1.6 meters tall, with a crutch in his right hand and a lantern in his left hand.
He Shihua, who was startled, asked angrily: "Who are you?"
The old man said, "I am the boss here. I don't know if you are having a meal or staying in a hotel."
He Shihua suddenly realized that he was the owner of this store.
However, in such a place, there is such a boss. It still looks very strange. He Shihua asked very cautiously: "Where is this place, why are there no one?"
The old man smiled and explained, "We are about to demolish, so everyone has moved away. As for me, I am the only one left at home, so I don't want to move, so I stayed here."
He heard the old man's explanation, He Shihua frowned and thought to himself: "Is this live broadcast, the judge of Death put himself in that street where there are still people?"
If this is true, then the old man in front of him should be a human being.
Thinking of this, He Shihua said, "Boss, I have to eat and stay in a hotel, but you have to tell me what the hell is and how to get out."
The old man replied: "The name of our place is called Laojie. This is what people nearby call it. It is easy to walk out. As long as you leave our store, you will go out for a while."
He Shihua finally relaxed after listening to the old man's words. This was very good news for him.
Even now, he began to wonder whether the judge of the death was waterproof to him this time.
Maybe I still have a chance to escape, maybe.
He Shihua spoke to the boss and said, "I think this is the case now. Take me to the room and then bring my meal to me."
The old man nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, no problem."
Then the old man took He Shihua to the second floor, "The rooms we have here are all on the second floor."
The overall layout of the inn is similar to that of ancient times, with rooms on both sides of the same corridor.
The room just looked a little tattered from the outside.
But it's already this time, and He Shihua has nothing to choose from.
Everything here looks very old, with only the red lanterns hanging on both sides, which look very new, and it should have been just made not long ago.
The old man walked to the door of the fourth room in the corridor, then pushed open the door on his left, pointed to it and said, "You are here."
He Shihua nodded. The place didn't look very good outside, but it was still quaint inside.
"I'll go down to cook for you first, and I'll bring it to you later." The old man left after he finished speaking.
He Shihua stayed alone in the room. He was still dripping water from his body. He hurriedly took off all his clothes outside, then put on the wooden bed and covered it with a quilt.
Perhaps because he became a little weak after being wet from the rain, He Shihua fell asleep in a short while.
In a daze, He Shihua had a dream. He dreamed of those lanterns and those big red lanterns.
There were human faces on the lanterns, and those human faces were constantly opening their mouths, as if they wanted to say something, but they were unable to say it in the end.
He Shihua in the dream became very anxious. He seemed to want to hear what the faces said clearly, so he leaned over to those faces.
"Hurry...small...heart...don't..."
A few messy words appeared in He Shihua's ears.
"What did you say?"
Just when He Shihua was about to ask clearly, he was suddenly awakened. He opened his eyes and saw that it was the owner of the store, the old man standing in front of him with a tray.
"The food you want is here. I'll put it on the table for you first. Let's go to bed after dinner." The old man said calmly.
He Shihua nodded and said "Thank you".
After the old man put the food on the table, he did not leave, but looked at He Shihua.
He Shihua asked in confusion: "Is there anything else?"
