Where do the guests of the evening mountain see and forget come from

"Where did the guest come from"

Chapter 1

It was raining hard.

The sky was like a huge black hole, and the whole street was so silent that there was only the sound of rain.Some inns have lights on, while others have black lights.Holding the umbrella, Luo Xiao listened to the sound of the rain hitting the top of his head, as if someone was knocking on it.

She didn't know which inn to stay in.

This is a remote town on the border of Yunnan. Although there are ancient cities to develop tourism, in today's tourist environment of "ancient cities all over the world", it is obviously uncompetitive and tourists are scarce.

This is why Luo Xiao chose this place.Quiet and far away.It seems that a person can stay here forever.

Luo Xiao walked along the stone long street for a while, and inadvertently caught a glimpse of the signboard of an inn next to it.

"Gradually forget".

The old wooden signboard is an understatement.With a dark green door face, there are many green plants inside the door, and the lights are winding and hazy.

Luo Xiao seemed to be attracted by those two words, closed the umbrella, and stepped into the door.

A shoulder of damp rain.

The furnishings in the inn are equally elegant and clean.A foot-wide bridge was built in the courtyard, and there were fish.The greenery is messy and overflowing.A young girl sits behind the bar, playing with her mobile phone.Seeing Luo Xiao come in, he raised his head and smiled: "Hello."

Luo Xiao: "Hello, is there any room?"

This is actually a polite question.In such a small town, with so many inns, and it's not the peak season, there are probably a lot of vacant rooms.

The girl nodded as expected: "Yes."

"How much is a night?"

The girl replied: "Do you want to be able to see the sea, or not? 300 a night for those who can see the sea, and 150 for those who cannot."

It is located on a plateau, and the locals call the inland lake "the sea."

Luo Xiao thought for a while, then asked: "Would it be cheaper to watch the sea?"

Girl: "Minimum 280."

Luo Xiao's face turned a little red: "Can it be cheaper?"

The girl doesn't seem to be a good negotiator, and at such a late hour, Luo Xiao is a girl, and her clothes are so old that she feels sympathy for her to some extent.She said, "Wait a minute, I'll ask the boss."

It was only then that Luo Xiao noticed that there was a door behind the bar with lights on inside and the faint sound of the TV.

"Germany! Penalty kick! It's a penalty kick..."

football game.

After a while, the girl came out with a smile on her face: "Our boss had better talk. I told him about you, a girl. He said that the lowest is 220 for watching the sea, and the lowest is 120 for not looking at the sea. This is already It’s the lowest price, you won’t find such a cheap sea-view room after walking the whole street. And our inn is well decorated, why don’t you go upstairs and have a look at the room.”

Luo Xiao believed that the conditions in the room would not be too bad - from the courtyard and the appearance of the inn, one could see the taste of the boss, which was exactly what she liked very much.

But she is away from home for a long time, and every penny must be saved.Although she was already a little embarrassed, she still pretended to be calm and said: "Little sister, look, it's already past 11 o'clock, and there will be no other guests coming in. Your room is empty and empty. Here I'll stay for one night, and I can clean up the room for you tomorrow morning. Look, can you... Let me live in a room with a view of the sea, and I'll pay 120 for a room without a view of the sea." She emphasized again : "Anyway, you are free tonight, right?"

The girl at the front desk stared at her with wide eyes.

At this moment, a voice came from behind her: "Xiaomei."

It was a deep but clear young man's voice.The owner of the inn.

Xiaomei hurriedly ran into the back room again.

After a while, Xiaomei came out with a strange expression on her face. She looked at Luo Xiao a few more times and said, "Okay, give me your ID card, room 201, with sea view, 120 yuan. The deposit is 100." The voice said: "The boss agreed. Hey, he is so willful."

Luo Xiao couldn't help laughing, and hurriedly said, "Thank you!"

Xiaomei checked her in swiftly and quickly, and then said, "I'll take you there. There will be breakfast from 7:9 to 10:1 tomorrow morning. The boss makes it himself. It costs [-] yuan per person. Do you want it?"

Luo Xiao subconsciously said, "Yes."

Xiaomei walked out of the bar and led her to the stairs.Luo Xiao was carrying the only bag on his back. When he turned around, he paused slightly and raised his voice to the door and said, "Thank you."

Inside the house, there was only the sound of the football game, which continued to ring warmly and silently.

-

The room was as expected by Luo Xiao, simple yet elegant and clean.There was also a white porcelain vase on the bedside table, and an unknown flower inside filled the room with a vague fragrance.

Luo Xiao has been on the road for the past few days, and now he has finally settled down temporarily, only feeling that all the bones in his body are falling apart.She drew the curtains and lay down on the bed.It was dark and the rain had stopped.The sky and the sea are chaotic, there is no starlight, only the clear sound of the tide, surging against the rocks below the inn.As Luo Xiao looked at it, there was a kind of moving from the bottom of his heart, which slowly permeated his entire chest.This kind of moving, this feeling of being gently comforted as a human being, may only be given by the boundless magnificence and loneliness that comes from nature.

Gradually, she fell asleep peacefully.

-

When I woke up, the genius was dimly lit, and the surroundings of the inn were extremely quiet, only birds singing and flying by occasionally.It was extremely cold in the morning, Luo Xiao put on his coat, but he still felt that it was not enough, so he simply added a sweater to feel his body warming up.

Behind the inn is a small piece of woods and swamp, and beyond the swamp is an endless misty lake.Luo Xiao really wanted to go there for a walk, so he went downstairs alone.

The door of the inn was still closed, and there was no one in the courtyard.I don't know, how many guests can come to this remote and out-of-the-way small inn in one night?Xiaomei didn't see her either, she was probably still sleeping in her room.Luo Xiao walked out through the door on the other side of the courtyard, and arrived in the woods.

Misty.

The soil under his feet was wet and soft, slightly sinking.The air with the smell of water hits the face, which is refreshing.Luo Xiao did a few stretching exercises, and then walked slowly along the water shoreline.

A bird flew overhead, but she heard the sound of the wind.

Looking up, there is a man on the grass in the forest not far away.

Young, tall man.At a glance, all he saw was his body.He was shirtless, just a pair of black slacks.Lean and strong, the muscles in the arms and abdomen are neat and beautiful like a cover model.He couldn't see his face clearly, only a head of neat short hair.

He was lying on the ground, doing push-ups.One stroke, two strokes, three strokes... The movement is full of wind. Every inch of this man's body seems to contain wild power.

25-year-old Luo Xiao was the first time he saw a man with such a good figure.I don't know what kind of psychology it is, but I am embarrassed to stare more.And early in the morning, there was a lonely man and a widow in the woods. Such a man inexplicably gave her an extremely aggressive presence.She turned around and wanted to leave, but unexpectedly, she stepped on a branch and made a crisp "click".

The man seemed to have noticed it, paused, and raised his head in her direction.

Luo Xiao walked away quickly.

Luo Xiao didn't slow down until he was completely out of sight.He looked up and looked around, but came to the water's edge again.Surrounded by mud and shadows of trees.

The originally quiet morning seemed to be no longer peaceful because of the appearance of that man.In fact, Luo Xiao knew in his heart that he was probably the innkeeper from last night.Loves watching football, speaks well, has taste, and is self-willed.But Luo Xiao just didn't expect that it would be such a man.

She raised her head to identify the direction, roughly estimated the location of the inn, and walked forward.

The soil under her feet gradually became soft, and the water mist blurred the coastline, but she didn't notice it.

After walking for a while, suddenly, her arm was firmly grasped, which scared her almost out of her wits, and subconsciously struggled to break free, wanting to run forward.But the man's arms were like iron tongs, and she couldn't run out at all.Then the next second, she was dunked into a sweaty chest.

She looked up and saw an unfamiliar face.

The neat hair, the angular face.Eyes like deep pools.There is still fine sweat on the bridge of the nose.It's just that at this moment, he has already put on a white T-shirt, which is very soft, but it does not hinder the muscles and bones of his body, and it is still hot through a layer of fabric, pressing against Luo Xiao's face.She was so tall that she didn't even reach his shoulders.

Luo Xiao has never been hugged so forcefully by a man in his life, and his whole body froze.And he lowered his head, inspecting his eyes with a faint chill.

"What do you want to do?"

"What do you want to do?"

The two of them spoke in unison and were startled.

Luo Xiao growled again in a low voice: "Let go of me!"

Looking at her blushing face, Han Tuo finally let go of her hand, but his eyes were fixed on her actions.

"There is a swamp in front of you. If people go in, I'm afraid they won't be able to get out." Han Tuo said, "So, what do you want to do? A woman came here alone from thousands of miles away, and then she wants to enter this swamp?"

Luo Xiao froze for a moment, then realized, did he think he was going to commit suicide?

The wind blew through the branches, and the fog cleared a little.Some sunlight actually fell.It shone on his tall figure, and also shone on her soft hair.The two looked at each other quietly for a while, and Luo Xiao said, "Boss, I just... got lost. I thought the inn was in this direction."

Han Tuo looked at her carefully again, and found that she did not seem to be lying, so he put his hands in his trouser pockets, and said lightly: "My inn is not in the direction you thought. Come with me."

Luo Xiao quietly followed behind him.

The weather between the high-altitude mountains and the sea is strange. It was still foggy a moment ago, as if heavy rain was coming.The next moment, the clouds were blown away by the wind, the sky gradually cleared up, and the sunlight was as clear as if it had been washed by water.

Luo Xiao raised his head, and saw that the T-shirt on the man's back was wet with sweat, outlining the outline of his bones.He didn't look thirty.What is the reason for such a man as tough as a wolf to run to this otherworldly place to open a gentle and quiet inn called "Jian Wang"?
As she was thinking wildly like this, she gradually saw the inn in front of her.

Han Tuo stopped suddenly and said without looking back, "Don't run into the swamp alone in the future. Otherwise, your deposit will be deducted."

It was the first time Luo Xiao heard the innkeeper "threat" the guests with this reason.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Han Tuo continued to walk slowly.He took a long step, and when he heard the woman's footsteps behind him being small, he subconsciously slowed down a lot before letting her follow closely.

After a while, I heard Luo Xiao say: "Don't worry, boss, if one day I really can't think about committing suicide, I must choose a deserted place where I won't cause trouble to anyone. It's even more impossible to die in someone else's place." in the backyard of the inn."

-

When the two reached the gate of the courtyard, they immediately broke up as if they had a tacit understanding.Luo Xiao turned a corner and went upstairs, and said in a low voice, "Thank you."

Han Tuo looked up at her.

Although this woman is a bit weird, she still has good manners and upbringing. She also has delicate skin and tender flesh, like a daughter raised by a good family.

Han Tuo turned and walked into the kitchen.

It didn't take long for Xiaomei to get up too, smelling the smell of the kitchen, she rushed in.She is a distant relative of Han Tuo, and has always called him "big cousin" in private.It was just for fun to follow him to open the inn.Unexpectedly, after making a local boyfriend, he simply stayed and refused to leave.

"Brother, what are you doing delicious?" Xiaomei rushed behind him, looked at the things on the table, and immediately started fussing, "My boss, why is breakfast so rich today? I count, rice noodles, steamed buns, milk , eggs, and three cold dishes? If I remember correctly, today the inn adds a guest, just the three of us? Why are you so crazy? The dishes don’t cost money, do you?”

Han Tuo had already prepared breakfast, washed his hands, sat down in the old wicker chair next to him, lit a cigarette, and said calmly, "You can do it if you want, can't you?"

Xiaomei blinked, and moved closer to him: "You are not interested in that girl from yesterday, are you?"

Han Tuo laughed: "What are you talking about?"

Xiaomei: "Then you promised her yesterday that she would spend 120 yuan to live in a sea view room? Last time two men came and bargained for 200 yuan a night, but you refused? You still said that our stylish and exquisite shop is To maintain the price, the rich and the rich cannot be moved by the poor and the humble! Why did you make an exception last night?"

Now Han Tuo was stopped by the question, and he didn't speak for a long time.

The smoke between the fingers rose slowly.He leaned back in the hard rattan chair and closed his eyes slightly.

How did God accidentally agree to that woman's unreasonable request last night?

It was raining so heavily, it was splintering.He was engrossed in watching the football game, and the beer bottle beside him was poured all over the floor.

Then I heard very quiet footsteps outside the door.It was so light, but he just heard it.

She asked, is there any room?

Han Tuo didn't pay attention at first, until the voice of her bargaining with Xiaomei kept coming.Then he heard her pleading voice repeatedly: "I can clean up the room myself tomorrow morning... Let me live in a room with a view of the sea, and I will pay the price for a room without a view of the sea... Anyway, if you are vacant, you are vacant... ..."

Her voice was different from other women's, soft and slightly hoarse.It seems a little tired, but in fact it is very pleasant, with a little humbleness and a little stubbornness.

At this time, Xiaomei had already come to a conclusion: "Hmph, it must be because she is good-looking. Boss, you are so obsessed, it's not good, it's not good!"

Han Tuo smiled, and subconsciously said, "No, it's because her voice is nice."

Xiaomei: "Karma?" Think about it, is it true?At that time, Boss Han really hadn't seen his face yet.

Xiaomei sighed, and said, "Boss, I didn't expect that you, who have always been ascetic, are actually a voice controler!"

Han Tuo took a puff of his cigarette. He was originally from BJ, and when he was with acquaintances, his speech would always be a little oily.He smiled lightly and said, "You can control whatever you want, can you control it?"
