"Something unclean? Please enlighten me, sister!"
I'm pretty good with words, so since this fat woman likes being called "sister," I went along with what she said.
This tactic is called catering to someone's preferences. As long as you can get the information you want, there's nothing shameful about it.
Unexpectedly, the fat woman reacted as if to a stress response, screaming, "Didn't I tell you not to call me that!"
I found it a bit strange, because I was certain the landlady had never said that.
Has the proprietress in front of me changed? No, it doesn't seem so; her clothes, appearance, and figure are all the same.
Even the two chicken droppings that were stuck to the hem of my skirt are in the same spot.
"Sorry, ma'am, we'll head back now!"
After I pulled Lao Dao along and apologized to the fat woman, I quickly prepared to slip away.
The fat woman's expression softened, and her eyes were no longer so fierce.
"Just stay in your rooms and behave yourselves. That's what you have to do if you want to get to Haopo Village smoothly!"
The fat woman continued to give instructions.
"Understood, ma'am, we'll stay in the room!"
"Wait a minute, there's another one! If anyone invites you out, whatever you do, don't go, especially after the rooster crows! Remember that!"
Just as we were about to return to our room, the landlady spoke again.
My heart skipped a beat; this woman seemed to know everything.
This place is getting weirder and weirder.
Lao Dao and I quickly assured each other that we would behave and not contact anyone else.
"Okay, I'll go to the back to greet the guests first, and when I'm not busy, I can tell you about Haopo Village. I know that's what you're interested in!"
Perhaps fearing we might be upset, the proprietress even mentioned some information about Haopo Village.
My eyes lit up. Yes, the information we've saved is absolutely crucial for us.
I only know a little bit about it; I know nothing about the key parts.
Liu Sandao was very tight-lipped about these matters, and it was not convenient for me to ask him.
If the landlady could share some useful information, it would be a huge help to me.
The proprietress was very satisfied with my attitude and left, wiggling her hips.
Old Dao and I had no choice but to return to our room.
Old Dao was even more frightened now. Everything that had just happened seemed eerie: "Brother Chen, this proprietress is like two different people, and she talks in such strange ways!"
I was talking nonsense, and the landlady was really strange. Not only did she contradict herself, but she also told us to go to the back to serve the guests.
The problem is that we just came from the back, and all the guest rooms are locked, so theoretically there are no guests.
"Could it be that all those people have been locked up by this woman? Could this be a shady establishment?"
Old Dao started trembling again, so I quickly moved to a different spot, afraid he might wet himself.
Now we need to be careful with both the boss's wife and that Hua Hua.
We stayed quietly in the room, and the hour was almost up.
I'm hesitating about whose advice to take.
But Lao Dao seemed to be possessed, constantly muttering "Hua Hua" to himself.
At this crucial moment, the rooster crowed!
