In the dark corner, a ghost is moving.
Qin Nuo walked up and tried to ask, "Hello?"
The black shadow seemed to be unable to perceive or hear anything, and was still wriggling there. When it got closer, a faint foul odor filled the air.
Qin Nuo wanted to continue speaking when the black shadow suddenly stood up. It was an old woman with gray hair on her temples. She was hunched over and had deep wrinkles on her face. Her whole face looked as if it was covered with a layer of dry and cracked mud.
"Child, are you looking for me?" The old lady opened her sunken eyes and looked at him for a long moment before asking.
In her hands, she held two dead mice, her sharp nails piercing into the flesh, and drops of black blood fell to the floor.
"I'm just asking, who is the manager of the front desk?" Qin Nuo took a look and asked calmly.
"I."
"You're staying at a hotel, do you have a reservation?"
The old lady walked towards the front desk holding two dead mice.
Qin Nuo followed with a hint of surprise on his face.
At the front desk, Meng was still sitting in the chair, looking curiously at the account book on the table, but did not touch it.
The old lady came over and saw Meng, with a strange gleam in her eye sockets.
Meng jumped down from the chair, stood aside and said politely, "Grandma, please sit down."
The old lady suddenly smiled, her mouth wide open, revealing only two teeth: "What a pretty girl, and so sensible."
Qin Nuo pulled Meng to her side and said, "Grandma, this is my sister."
"Really? I can't tell. They look so different." said the old lady.
Qin Nuo looked speechless.
The old lady squatted down and held out the two mice in her hand: "Girl, do you like toys? I have some here."
Meng looked at the dead mouse the size of a palm, took two steps back, and said nothing.
Qin Nuo: “…”
"No, I don't like it. I have a lot of delicious food here. Don't be polite. Grandma loves children the most." The wrinkles on the old lady's face relaxed, and it was obvious that she really liked Meng. But the tone of her voice sounded like she was trafficking children.
Dream didn't respond.
Qin Nuo told her not to touch strangers' things casually, and the nun had also said the same thing.
The old man didn't mind. He sat up and sat on the chair. His tone towards Qin Nuo softened a lot: "Which room did you book?"
"Grandma, I'm not here to stay. I'm here to ask you something."
"Do you know the ingredient called robbery?" Qin Nuo asked.
The old lady recalled for a moment and said, "That thing you're talking about is right here with me."
"What's the use of it, grandma?"
“It’s useless, but my oldest grandson likes it.”
Qin Nuo's eyes lit up when he heard it: "Grandma, I'll add more money, why don't you sell it to me? This thing is very important to me."
"No, I won't buy it no matter how much money you give me."
Grandma refused very decisively.
Qin Nuo looked at her, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I can exchange other things with you, and I can also use them as gifts for your grandson."
"Haha, my grandson likes this."
The old lady leaned back on a rattan chair, holding a palm-leaf fan in her hand, her eyes fixed on Meng: "Unless, you are willing to give this girl to me."
"This is my sister, not a trading item. Grandma, don't you think what you said is outrageous?" Qin Nuo said.
"Then there's no point in discussing it."
The old lady rocked in the rattan chair and slowly closed her eyes.
"Just ask her if it's on her, grab it and run away. Why waste so much time on an old woman?" The Blood-Eyed Ghost said bluntly.
"You can't just rob a restaurant's shareholders and run away."
"You said earlier that once you open your fourth eye, you shouldn't get involved in so much trouble."
Qin Nuo thought to himself, after all, this is someone else's territory.
Meng looked at the old lady and said, "Grandma, please do me a favor."
The old man opened his eyelids, looked at Meng, and smiled again: "I still like this girl's talk, she is nice and good at talking."
Qin Nuo was ashamed, thinking that he didn't say anything wrong.
The old lady took out some candies, slowly peeled off the sugar coating, and said slowly: "But, for the sake of this girl..."
"Agreed?" Qin Nuo raised his eyebrows.
"No, but if you do me one thing, I can give you the ingredients."
"Don't want money?" Qin Nuo asked tentatively.
"I'm not interested in money. If you can do it, you can take it for free." The old man put the candy in his mouth, then looked at Meng with a smile: "Girl, this is very sweet."
Meng looked at Qin Nuo. Qin Nuo gestured for her, and she reached out to take the candy, put it in her mouth, and said incoherently, "Thank you, mother-in-law."
"Grandma, tell me what happened." Qin Nuo said.
"There's a couple living upstairs. They're my son and daughter-in-law. But they're very unfriendly to me as an old mother. They don't even let me see my grandson."
The old lady picked up a rattle, sighed, and her words were full of helplessness.
Qin Nuo asked: "Why?"
The old woman's mouth twitched, and she looked like she was smiling helplessly: "I spoiled my son too much when he was young, and he didn't show filial piety when he grew up. He married a shrewd wife and let her control him, rejecting a poor old woman like me."
"My grandson was born, and I couldn't even look at him."
The old lady leaned back in her chair, feeling dejected and lonely.
Qin Nuo looked at her and tried to ask, "So, you want me to secretly bring your grandson down and let you see him?"
"Why do you say secretly? Isn't it normal for a mother-in-law to see her own grandson?"
The old lady said, "If you can bring my grandson down, I'll give you the ingredients."
