Chapter 44 Happy Event in the Mountain Village 4 "What are you doing?" Baichuan's unique...
The hunchbacked old servant was holding a lantern in his hand and leading the way slowly in front. The stairs to the second floor were on both sides of the hall. Going up was the bottom of the "U"-shaped house, from Room 201 to Room 206, which were arranged in sequence on both sides of the eldest daughter of the Zheng family's boudoir. There were four rooms on each side. In addition to the three guest rooms assigned to everyone, there were other rooms.
"This side is Rooms 201, 202, and 203," the hunchbacked old servant pointed to the room next to Room 201 that had no house number nailed to the door lintel and said, "This is the bathroom and the water room. The other side is Rooms 204, 205, and 206."
"Hello, what room is that?" An Rao asked, pointing to the room in the row of rooms opposite that corresponded to the bathroom here.
"That is the eldest lady's study. No one can go in without the eldest lady's permission," the old servant said without further explanation. "The lights are turned off at 10 pm. Our master is a man who doesn't talk in bed. Everyone should go to bed after the lights are turned off."
"Then can I come over to visit?" Wei Ronger really didn't want to stay alone in the room all night, it would be best if she could be with someone.
"We live in the deep mountains and old forests here, and there are often unclean things. For example," the hunchbacked old servant suddenly turned around and held the lantern in his hand close to Wei Ronger who was asking questions. He stared up at the capable female manager with turbid eyes and said faintly, "If you go out after turning off the lights and run into your friends, those people may still be your friends during the day, but you can't say for sure if they are still your friends after turning off the lights."
This sentence was like a pair of sharp scissors, mercilessly piercing the whitewashed peace. This was a haunted house with unclean things and life-and-death struggles. It was not some mountain homestay far away from the hustle and bustle.
An Rao looked back at Su Ming and Shi Yirou, stretched out a finger and shook it gently, meaning that they should not walk around casually after the lights were turned off. Su Ming and Shi Yirou nodded in understanding.
After the old servant introduced the rooms to everyone, he left, and everyone took their keys and went to find their own rooms.
As soon as An Rao opened the door, he was shocked by the decoration style in the room. This was a chess-style room. The floor was a checkerboard pattern of light wood and walnut. The walls were a mix of black and white checkerboard patterns. The black checkerboard was made of ceramic tiles, and the white checkerboard was matte wall gray. It was dazzling to look at. There were two solid wood single beds, one with a "king" chess piece style headboard and the other with a "queen" chess piece style headboard. Every corner of the room was filled with large and small chess piece wood carvings. It was simply a chess player's pain room.
Apart from the somewhat eye-catching decoration style, the furnishings in the room itself are actually very simple. In addition to the two single beds, there is only a bedside table for two people placed between the two beds. On the bedside table are a set of thermos, water cups and a simple toiletry bag for two people.
"Which one do you want to sleep on?" An Rao looked at the two beds and swallowed hard.
"Whatever." Baichuan said calmly. Although he said it, he sat down on the king-size bed near the door without any hesitation.
An Rao: ...
“Boss, boss!” Su Ming rushed in. “Wow, chess! Your room is so cool! My sister Yirou and I have a Tom and Jerry theme in our room!”
"So which bed did you grab?" An Rao asked, trying not to laugh. It was obvious that according to the style of the house, the two beds must be one in the shape of a cat and one in the shape of a mouse.
"Rat..." Su Ming felt aggrieved.
"Isn't this haunted house interesting?" An Rao looked at Bai Chuan and said, "My daughter has grown up and works in the city. Old Zheng and Sister Wang don't look like people who know chess. But the room is full of childish fun. What on earth is it trying to do?"
"Let's go check out the other rooms." Baichuan stood up and walked out the door.
Wei Ronger was in a bad mood and pushed the key into the lock. She pushed too hard and heard the lock click and the lock tongue misaligned. The door was stuck and couldn't be opened. How annoying! Wei Ronger became more and more annoyed. She grabbed the door handle and pushed the door hard. This was the third game she had played. She had good luck in the first two games. She relied on points and men to get through them safely. But she suffered a loss right from the beginning here. Why did that man always go against her? ! Trash, do you think you are great just because you are good-looking? There is no point in being good-looking here!
Wei Ronger angrily kicked the door hard with her high-heeled foot. With a "click" sound, the deadbolt returned to its place, and the door creaked open. Wei Ronger stared at the room in front of her in amazement. This was a Pikachu-style room, with yellow carpets and walls covered with Poké Balls. The white single bed was covered with Pikachu-patterned sheets and quilt covers. There were furry dry reeds in a pottery jar in the corner of the room, and Pikachu doll decorations of various sizes were placed in other corners. The whole room was full of cartoon flavor.
Is there anything more ironic than a children's room full of childlike fun appearing in a haunted house?
As soon as she entered the room, Wei Ronger walked to the head of the bed as usual, gently picked up the pillow and checked the seam of the bed, the mattress and the junction of the pillow. Sure enough, she found something! A piece of yellow paper covered with cinnabar was lying quietly in the seam of the bed. The yellow paper was neatly folded and pinned with a hairpin.
Wei Ronger looked carefully at the cinnabar writing on the yellow paper, then laughed triumphantly. She had a big client before. The client was rich and generous, but his only shortcoming was that he was a little weird. In order to win this client, she pretended to be very interested and learned a lot of ways to draw talismans from others, especially auspicious talismans, and drew a lot of them just to please him.
This talisman is a talisman for peace and protection, but it was secretly hidden in the crack of the bed. It is likely intended to harm the people who live in this room. After all, most people are scared to death when they see the yellow paper of the talisman. Who can tell whether it is a talisman for protection or a curse? Only she knows!
Unfortunately, the only drawback is that the protection range of this kind of auspicious amulet is usually very small. If it is placed at the head of the bed, it will not reach the foot of the bed. Wei Ronger happily reached out to the talisman, wanting to put it in the center of the bed.
"Knock knock knock--" There was a polite knock on the door.
"Sister Wei Ronger, can we come in?" Fang Qingqing's gentle voice came from outside the door.
"Wait a moment, I'll be there soon!" Wei Ronger quickly covered the talisman with a pillow and then ran to open the door for everyone.
"Wow, your room is Pikachu-themed!" Fang Qingqing exclaimed with envy when she came in, and then said very depressedly, "Grandpa Wang and I have Ultraman in our rooms."
"In Zhifei and I's room are Bald Qiang, Big Bear and Little Bear," said He Xin, who was sitting in a wheelchair.
"Me and..." Cheng Lin looked unhappy. "The room between me and this Brother Shi is full of robots. I can't tell what kind of cartoon it is."
"It's strange. Everyone's room is decorated with cartoon themes, but the decoration style of my room and Baichuan's room is chess, which has nothing to do with cartoons." An Rao felt that this design was somewhat weird.
"But what girl would like Ultraman, robots, and Bald Qiang?" Shi Yirou couldn't understand. "And if you calculate her approximate age, at least Bald Qiang wasn't in the cartoon that appeared when she was a child, right?"
"Who knows? Maybe she is really special." Wei Ronger shrugged while standing with her arms folded.
"Are you okay living here alone?" An Rao asked.
"What does it have to do with you whether it's good or not? It's all fate." Wei Ronger was still resentful about An Rao's criticism of her at the dinner table.
"Okay, since everyone's rooms are similar and no one has found anything unusual, let's all go wash up and rest early," An Ran looked down at the wristband on her hand, "It's eight o'clock now, and there are still two hours before the NPC said the lights will be turned off at ten o'clock. There are eleven of us in total, and each person only has ten minutes. We will use the bathroom in turn starting from twenty-six. Let's get started now."
From the moment Aunt Li arranged for everyone to enter the courtyard, An Rao began to dominate everything unknowingly and became everyone's true backbone. Time was running out and no one had any objection to his arrangements. First of all, Wei Ronger, who lived in room 206, needed to use the bathroom first.
Everyone immediately got up and went back to the room to prepare. Wang Quanmin walked in at the end, trembling with a cane. Before leaving the room, Wang Quanmin suddenly looked back at the room, and then said to Wei Ronger with an apologetic look, "Xiao Wei, I'm sorry I didn't switch rooms with you. You know this game. If you don't follow the staff's arrangements, it will be bad for both you and me."
"It's okay, it's okay," Wei Rong'er changed her previous depressed and irritable mood, "Don't take it to heart, Mr. Wang. I was inconsiderate before. It's my fault."
"Okay, I won't bother you to wash up. If you have any problems at night, just call me. I live next door so I can take care of you." After saying that, Wang Quanmin slowly walked back to his room.
An Rao and Bai Chuan's room 201 was closest to the bathroom, so they were the last to wash up. An Rao took her simple toiletry bag and went out to the bathroom, but saw a notebook on the floor of the corridor. The pink cover was covered with girl comic stickers, which was obviously a girl's product.
An Rao couldn't move. Although his mind kept telling him that there must be something wrong with the objects that appeared in the corridor at night, it must be a trap, but he couldn't help but approach it, as if the notebook had some magic that made it impossible to escape. An Ran's eyes were glued to the notebook lying quietly on the ground. There was a little man in his mind trying to stop him, and another little man kept bewitching him, what if? What if the death rule was in it? What if the content in this notebook could answer all the questions in the haunted house? What if the content in this notebook could help everyone find the game stamp and the exit smoothly?
An Rao's footsteps moved slowly and uncontrollably towards the notebook. The toiletries bag in his hand was clenched tightly. The little man in his mind who was trying to stop him became weaker and weaker, but his heartbeat became faster and faster.
"What are you doing?" Baichuan's unique low and cold voice sounded behind him.
