I looked around at the surroundings, and I felt more disbelief than surprise.
Doesn't this mean that the boss just said we'd get here, and then we just rushed down and actually got here?
When we rushed downstairs, we were clearly heading towards the lobby on the first floor.
Where is the lobby on the first floor now?
Surely, there can't just be a patch of land right after you come down the stairs, right?
When I turned around, I was completely dumbfounded.
The stairs we just came down have completely disappeared, replaced by a huge building.
However, this building is exactly the same as the previous riverside hotel!
Even its layout and architectural style are the same. The only difference is that it looks newer than the Riverside Hotel we saw when we entered it before.
I looked around and sighed. Could this be the land that Boss He mentioned earlier, the land that had already been cultivated?
I don't even know whether this place has been cultivated or not.
There was absolutely nothing planted on it, and even the leaves on the surrounding trees were sparse.
Looking further into the distance, there was a completely barren grassland, with weeds growing up to half a person's height.
Just then, a gentle breeze blew by, and I felt a refreshing coolness, but it did nothing to dispel the doubts in my heart.
Even more absurdly, just as we were looking around a few times, two more figures suddenly appeared in the distance.
The girl and I walked slowly over, and there was Mr. He, the middle-aged man in blue overalls, and a man in a drab gray T-shirt.
The blue overalls that Mr. He was wearing seemed to be more worn out than before, and the man in the T-shirt was also covered in sweat on his back.
I was very puzzled. When Boss He was on the second floor just now, he was sitting there and even though he was wearing blue overalls, he had a very strong presence. But now it seems that he was just squatting there, fiddling with the seed bags.
His profile looked somewhat unfamiliar in the sunlight, completely lacking the imposing presence he had when he sat on the second floor.
It's as if I'm working for someone else, looking like I'm doing manual labor.
The other man in the T-shirt was facing away from us. He was holding a shovel, listlessly poking at the soil, and even his movements of turning the ground seemed perfunctory.
I didn't dare to approach him rashly. I just felt that this Mr. He seemed even more unfamiliar, and I had no idea about the surrounding environment.
I only have a vague memory of being on the second floor; I can't quite recall what happened there.
Only through careful recollection can one recall some details.
And then there was Fatty Zhou, Xiao Yuan...
Holy crap, what does this even mean?!
"Master, those two are here!"
The lightning sword was shouting in my head.
At that moment, Yiyi also noticed it.
No, after I sorted out my thoughts, Mr. He suddenly raised his head and looked straight at us, as if he had already expected us to be here.
A mysterious smile played on her lips as she patted the man next to her who was holding a shovel.
"Hey kid, stop dawdling, we have guests!"
"What does this have to do with me, Brother He!"
"We're not allowed in our backyard, that's not an old rule, and it's not my shift!"
The man in the dirty T-shirt turned around impatiently, and when he saw us, his brows immediately furrowed.
I felt more familiar with this person, and after taking a closer look, I realized he was almost there.
"Brother, isn't that the waiter who greeted us just now? He came down with that Mr. He too..."
The girl spoke softly, and I felt the same way!
Yeah, what are you two doing here?
The two men slowly approached us. Boss He walked in front at a leisurely pace, while I was feeling uneasy. Surely this guy wouldn't create a thick fog for us once he got to the first floor!
However, judging from his expression, it carried a strong sense of friendliness.
The man who had been the waiter earlier, now wearing a dirty t-shirt, followed behind. He looked noticeably more weathered than before, and his face was full of reluctance.
They were even muttering to themselves.
"Guests come all the time, for no apparent reason. What's so interesting about this run-down place..."
Soon, they were about 35 meters away from us. Mr. He spoke first, his tone very relaxed.
"Looking for a room? How did you find the backyard?"
Before we could even speak, the waiter next to us spoke first.
"How else could they have found it? They must have sneaked over. Let me tell you, this place won't turn out well! If you're thinking of buying land, you'd better leave now!"
The waiter's voice was quite impatient.
At this moment, Mr. He frowned and spoke as if he were lecturing a child.
"Why are you in such a hurry? The soil has just been fertilized and is ready to be planted with sea cucumber and vegetables. It will be ready to harvest in two months. Once we sell them, our inn and restaurants will definitely be in good shape!"
Mr. He appeared quite confident.
Listening to their conversation, my mind was a complete mess, and I suddenly felt a sharp pain.
It feels like a lot of things are churning in my head.
"What? We've been working here for two or three years, and this place still hasn't turned out anything. The hotel business isn't doing well either. If this keeps up, I'm thinking of leaving."
I'm telling you, Brother He, I also have a future.
The waiter continued speaking, and when I heard the words he uttered, I was completely dumbfounded.
And the information in my mind came together almost at that moment: we had just experienced a flash of light and then we arrived at this land!
Two or three years... sea marrow, planted here...
We were just on the second floor, trapped in that white fog. It seemed like someone shouted something before we ran downstairs and rushed here. Two or three years have passed since then.
These two look like they've been working here for a long time.
Moreover, there was no white fog here, and they didn't mention white fog at all!
Mr. He rolled his eyes at the waiter, but he ignored him and instead forced a smile at us.
"If you two would like to stay at the hotel, you can make a reservation in advance. We will provide three meals a day, which is quite a good deal!"
Listening to what Mr. He was saying, I was quite moved. Just a moment ago he was acting all high and mighty, but now he was starting to solicit customers.
Two or three years have passed since then, meaning their land reclamation efforts failed, and they are still trying to reclaim the land today...
The owner's three meals a day must be coming from this land...
Including the sea marrow he mentioned!
