Chapter 210 What’s that sound?
"Change to another one?"
Zhou Yao whispered softly behind him. Lin Chuchu shook her head, supported Lu Feng's arm, leaned out half of her body, and stared at the person behind the bar:
"Is there a multi-person room?"
As soon as she showed her face, Uncle Liu's eyes immediately followed her, so fast that it seemed as if she was the only person worth paying attention to among the people present.
"There's a vacant room for six people, with beds for eight or ten."
The sound sounded like rusty iron sheets. It was not only intermittent but also very hoarse and harsh, making people's ears feel extremely uncomfortable.
Lin Chuchu wanted him to shut up immediately, "Let's book a room for six people. We'll pay for the remaining bed together and keep it for the luggage."
She never thought there was anything wrong with living in one room, she just simply thought it would be safer.
Every cell in her body was telling her that something was wrong with Mr. Liu, but the system didn't detect any danger.
"Is there no danger nearby?"
System: "The remaining energy can only maintain your vital signs, so turn off everything that can be turned off. If the consumption is too great..."
Lin Chuchu didn't say anything, which meant that she might not even live for the remaining twenty days...
She took the lead and took out her ID card, slapping it on the bar, "It'll be open for two days."
Several men beside him took out their ID cards one by one.
A pair of dry and rough hands took the ID cards one by one, and returned them together with the room cards after registration.
"309."
As if he knew his voice was strange, Uncle Liu briefly reported the room number and even skipped the words of giving directions.
Lu Feng's pupils shrank. He took the room card first, handed the ID cards of several people to Lin Chuchu, asked her to distribute them, and scanned the payment code to pay.
During this time, Uncle Liu no longer stared at Lin Chuchu. Instead, he drooped his eyelids and sat back in his chair.
Lin Chuchu winked and said, "Go upstairs first."
Four people surrounded her and walked towards the stairs.
"What's wrong with that old man?"
Jiang Shiyan stood close to Lin Chuchu, frowning, "What's that look in his eyes?"
If he hadn't sensed that the atmosphere was not right, he would have lost his temper.
"Sister Chuchu, do we have to stay here? Look, it's so deserted here, there's not a single guest."
It was lunch time, and there was not a single person eating in the restaurant on the first floor.
Jiang Shiyan: "Are we the only guests in the entire inn?"
"There are few tourists in the whole town."
Zhou Yao on the other side added that he had guessed something about the subtle expression that Lin Chuchu had just inadvertently revealed, so he asked, "Chuchu has been to Su Town before?"
“I guess so…”
Lin Chuchu curled the corner of her mouth. Not only had she been here before, but she was also very familiar with the place.
The originally rustic wooden staircase had dust accumulated on every step, mixed with messy footprints. It had been who knows how long since anyone had cleaned it.
Jiang Shiyan frowned in disdain, "Can people live in this environment?"
Just looking at the reflective greasy marks on the handrails makes people feel nauseous.
"Let's go up and take a look first..."
To be honest, Lin Chuchu was also worried. If she really opened the door and saw that the inside was dirty and messy, she wouldn't be able to say that it was okay to live there.
I went up to the third floor and opened the door of Room 309. The hygiene inside was much better. Six single beds were neatly arranged on both sides of the room. The sheets were very flat and you could tell they had been ironed.
There is a row of cushioned seats near the window on the innermost side, where you can enjoy the scenery outside.
“The environment is OK.”
Lin Chuchu found a bed by the window and sat down. She didn't feel like lying down to rest on the way here, and now her back and waist ached after sitting down after more than three hours of driving.
"Put this on the table."
Ling Che took out a blanket from the suitcase and made the bed for her. He then went back to get the thermos cup and put it on the bedside table. Finally, he pressed down on Lin Chuchu's shoulders and let her lie down.
"You're too tired. Get some sleep first. We'll go out for dinner when you wake up."
"No, no, no"
Lin Chuchu stretched her neck hard and looked at them one by one. "You guys go eat and bring some back for me."
She was indeed very sleepy and wanted to sleep, but she didn't want everyone to wait for her to wake up before eating. That would be too exaggerated.
"I suddenly want to eat dumplings..."
"Got it, lie down now."
No one would feel at ease leaving her alone in the room.
Finally, except Ling Che, the other three men went to eat first.
As soon as they walked out of the Lucky Inn, Lu Feng separated from the two.
"You guys go eat, don't worry about me, I'll just walk around."
Ever since he entered the town, he had felt suppressed, and even felt that the blood flow in his veins was slowing down...
Most of the shops on both sides of the cobblestone road were closed, and a few restaurants were still open, but there were few customers inside.
Lu Feng randomly picked a restaurant that advertised special food and went in. Unexpectedly, he ran into an acquaintance.
——
Lin Chuchu slept very uneasily. Even though Ling Che closed the curtains and hung a bed sheet outside, there were still dark shadows swaying in front of her eyelids.
"How long...have I slept?"
Lin Chuchu straightened up and sat up.
Ling Che, who had been guarding the bed, immediately put a pillow behind her and said, "It's less than half an hour."
Ling Che touched her cheek and said worriedly, "You don't look well. Your physical condition is too strong for a long journey."
Lin Chuchu smiled and comforted, "I'm fine. Although I'm a little tired, it's also very fulfilling. I'm very happy."
Her lips were pale to begin with, and this smile made her look even weaker and sicker.
Ling Che sighed, knowing that he couldn't persuade her, so he had to change the subject, "Are you hungry? I'll go get some cake, you can fill your stomach first."
As soon as he stood up, he was pulled back by Lin Chuchu.
"Ling Che"
Lin Chuchu tightly grasped his arm, and leaned forward with her entire upper body, posing as if she was listening attentively, "Don't move!"
There was a mosquito-like whisper lingering in my ears, sometimes loud, sometimes soft, but it was hard to tell what it was saying.
Lin Chuchu listened for a moment, raised her face, and said seriously, "Did you hear that?"
Ling Che imitated her and tilted his head to listen. After a while, he shook his head slightly, "Nothing."
The room was so quiet that only the sound of two deliberately suppressed breathing could be heard.
Seeing that Lin Chuchu was still listening, he held her shoulders.
"Chu Chu, what did you hear?"
"Shh!"
Lin Chuchu frowned little by little.
"No more...the voices disappeared..."
As Ling Che spoke, his ears suddenly became quiet.
“You’re too tired.”
Ling Che gently held her in his arms and stroked her hair lovingly.
"Maybe."
Lin Chuchu was very sure that she was not hallucinating, she really heard it, and she didn't know why Ling Che didn't hear it.
She rested her head on Ling Che's chest, changed into a comfortable position, wrapped her arms around his waist, and hugged him quietly.
"System, did you hear that?"
"Yes, I can't hear it clearly."
So, she's the only one who can hear it?
Is this directed specifically at her?
Lin Chuchu narrowed her eyes and said, "Turn on the danger warning."
"Host, you..."
"Open it."
She didn't give the system a chance to persuade her.
Lin Chuchu was skeptical about the mission report that Lu Feng requested to review.
The Ninth Military Region specially dispatched a special forces team. It is impossible that they just wanted to investigate the undeveloped scenic area of Yunwu Mountain. They must have other purposes.
It’s still above confidentiality level A!
