Chapter 268 Arrival at Yabu Village
Yun Mojiu and his group drove a black SUV and set off first.
An hour later, the 'archaeological team' set off in a small bus.
Another hour later, the 'tour group' also set off on a special tourist bus.
Everyone’s destination is Yabu Village.
They were in no hurry to get to the desert.
On the one hand, he wanted to gather information in Yabu Village to see if there were any of Mei Niang's people there, and find out the situation there before taking action.
On the other hand, by the time they got there, it was already night time, and it would have been dangerous to enter the desert at that time.
So, everyone decided to go to Yabu Village to rest for a night.
After a while of driving, Yun Mojiu and his friends arrived first.
Yabu Village is located on the edge of the desert.
A road separates it from the desert.
The village is not a village in the conventional sense. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a small town.
There is a strong commercial atmosphere here.
There are many people and vehicles coming and going on the street.
"Yabu Village is the last stop for expeditions into the desert, so many people will rest and resupply here."
Chen Yan read out the information about Yabu Village that his colleagues at the police station had investigated.
“There are hotels, restaurants, gas stations, supermarkets, desert-specific equipment shops and other simple stores here, basically all set up for tourists from outside the area.
The village has also set up a rescue station. If tourists encounter danger in the desert, they can call the rescue station and the staff there will rescue them immediately..."
Before we knew it, the car had entered the center of the village.
There is a shop on the street with the words 'Yabu Hotel' written on it.
This store was converted from a four-story residential building.
A large red signboard with some paint peeling off was hung on the roof.
"There are three hotels in the village. In addition to this Yabu Hotel, there are two others. We will stay in this one tonight, and Fatty and the others will stay in the other two. This way, we can take the opportunity to investigate whether there are any problems with these three hotels."
After Shen Yan finished speaking, the car stopped.
Xiao Junhe parked the car in front of the Yabu Hotel.
This village is closest to the last stronghold of Chigutang.
If Mei Niang has secret sentries here, the hotel would be the most likely choice.
Because hotels are the places where the most people gather.
It would be most convenient for Mei Niang to kill people or collect dead souls.
Of course, this is just a guess.
Whether it is or not still needs to be verified.
After the car stopped, the four people got out.
Yun Mojiu and Tong Rou both changed into long skirts, wore vacation hats, and wore sunglasses, looking like they were going out for a trip.
Xiao Junhe and Shen Yan also changed into casual clothes.
Xiao Junhe walked to Yun Mojiu and took her hand naturally.
The two of them are already an engaged couple, and now they want to pretend to be an intimate couple in front of the outside world, so she naturally won't refuse.
She let Xiao Junhe hold her hand.
The two smiled at each other and walked towards the store first.
However, Chen Yan and Tong Rou at the back both looked a little awkward.
Tong Rou frowned when she saw that Chen Yan was hesitant to reach out his hand, and she walked over and took Chen Yan's hand.
"Let's go."
Chen Yan was stunned for a moment, and his ears suddenly turned red.
"oh."
He responded uncomfortably.
Feeling the warmth in his hand that did not belong to him, he felt as if a current flashed through him quickly.
Tong Rou's hands were not as soft and delicate as those of other girls, but were similar to his, with many calluses.
But strangely, after holding the other person's hand, he felt a strange feeling in his heart.
He couldn't help but turn his head to look at Tong Rou.
Tong Rou was one step faster than him, so he could just see her profile clearly.
Although she is not as fair and clear as other girls, she is more three-dimensional and resolute, and has a unique charm that belongs only to her.
For a moment, Chen Yan was mesmerized by what he saw.
It wasn't until he heard the word "ID card" in front of him that he returned his attention.
Yun Mojiu and Xiao Junhe have already walked to the front desk.
There was a young man at the front desk. He was dark-skinned and had short hair. He was playing games on his phone while he glanced at them and said something perfunctorily.
"What's with your attitude, you little brat!"
Before Yun Mojiu and the others could say anything, a scolding voice came from the stairs nearby.
A plump middle-aged woman came down with anger on her face, looking at the young man with disappointment.
"Playing games again! Play, play, play, all you do is play. If you like playing so much, why don't you just beat yourself to death!"
She walked over, pulled the other person out from the front desk, and waved her hand impatiently.
"Go away, stop being an eyesore here. You're ruining our business."
"Tsk, just go."
The young man curled his lips and snorted.
But his eyes never left his phone.
After everyone left, the chubby middle-aged woman looked at Yun Mojiu and the others with a smile on her face.
"Hey everyone, you're going on a desert trip, right? How many nights are you staying? A standard single room here costs 300 yuan per night, a standard double room costs 4800 yuan per night, and a deluxe king-size room costs 800 yuan per night. This includes dinner tonight and breakfast tomorrow. There's also a traveler event in the courtyard tonight, and you can enjoy free fruit."
"Give us two deluxe king-size rooms for one night."
Xiao Junhe took out his mobile phone and scanned the money for 1,600 yuan.
"Okay."
Hearing the sound of collecting payment, the fat woman curled her lips.
"Please give me your ID cards. I need to register. These are the rules set by the higher-ups."
She explained it in a very nice manner.
Yun Mojiu and the others were very cooperative.
After registering, the other party gave them two room cards.
"Your room is on the fourth floor. You can take the elevator directly up."
She pointed to the indoor elevator next to the stairs.
Yun Mojiu and the others nodded and walked towards the elevator with their luggage.
After entering the elevator, no one spoke.
Because there is a small camera inside the elevator.
This is understandable. After all, it is a hotel. The owner is afraid that something might happen, so he installs cameras to record it so that he can be exempted from liability at critical moments.
Fortunately, there were no cameras in the room.
Chen Yan took out the camera detection device and checked around the room, but found nothing.
"Did you see anything?"
Tong Rou walked up to Yun Mojiu and asked.
She was referring, of course, to ghosts and the like.
Yun Mojiu has been using his spiritual power to explore the store since he entered it, but he hasn't found anything unusual.
but......
"There's something wrong with that lady boss."
"What's the problem?"
Hearing this, Xiao Junhe and Shen Yan also looked over.
Yun Mojiu: "There is spiritual energy flowing on the other party's body. She should not be an ordinary person. The most important thing is that she is stained with karma, which is related to her life."
"No wonder, I felt a little uncomfortable when I saw her just now." Tong Rou frowned.
The other person was clearly smiling, but she just felt something was wrong.
It was a stress reaction she would have when she came into contact with a criminal.
In the past, she had caught many criminals by chance relying on this intuition.
