Master of the city

The business car drove smoothly and quickly entered the Lantau area through the cross sea bridge. Zhang Fan's eyes stay outside the car window. From a distance, he sees Disneyland not far from the road.

Seeing the European castle style architecture, Zhang Fan's heart was full of mixed feelings, and the faint sense of loss once again surged into his heart.

"Alas..."

With a sigh, Zhang Fan's face was covered with a faint bitter smile.

Sitting next to Zhang Fan, Miko is very keen to find his emotion, reaches out and grabs Zhang Fan's sleeve and gently pulls it.

"I'm fine. Don't worry. "

Zhang Fan turned his head and touched Miko's head with a bitter smile. Maybe it's too much of your own medicine. Miko changed in just one day.

Originally, Miko's accompaniment was trained to exist like a toy. Toys don't need to have their own ideas. They just need to learn how to be obedient and how to serve their masters. But just now Miko's action is obviously an autonomous behavior.

Obviously, she is very concerned about Zhang Fan's mood.

"Oh."

The rice that is touched head shrinks neck. That's a bit of an anomaly. It's not that the necking is so weird. If the Secretary beside Zhu Xiaochen was touched like this, there would never be such a reaction. And Mick How to put it? This reaction seems more like the role she played yesterday as a sister.

"Boom -"

after calming Miko, Zhang Fan went into a trance state, until a loud noise woke him up from his trance.

"What's the matter, brother?"

When he was awakened by the loud noise, Zhang Fan shivered. Miko is very nervous looking at Zhang Fan. Although she changed her ol suit, Zhang Fan didn't give her a proper name, so after a little thought, she still used the name "brother".

"Nothing. I'm distracted. "

Zhang Fan touched Miko's head again and looked out. Originally, when they came out of the sharp sand, the sky was still clear. Now I don't know what happened. The sky has been covered with dark clouds. The loud noise just now is the thunder coming from the clouds. Obviously, a thunderstorm will come down from the sky soon.

"How did this day get so fast?"

Zhang Fan frowned tightly. It's not a good thing to watch Feng Shui on rainy days. Let's not say it's convenient or inconvenient. Even the rain will cause serious interference.

"Sometimes the weather here is like this. Lantau is a big island, and the climate on the sea is always unpredictable. It may be sunny in the last hour, but it will be stormy in the next

Zhu Xiaochen's female secretary, Linda, explained to Zhang Fan.

"Oh, if that doesn't work, let's find a place to take shelter from the rain. I don't think the rain will be too small. And

Zhang Fan rolled down the window a little and took a look at the sky outside. Even if you are not good at Tianxing fengshui, you still have the ability to see the sky.

"According to my observation, the rain will not be too short, it may last at least half a day..."

Zhang Fan said, suddenly shook his head. At that moment, he felt a strange feeling hit his heart, but when he wanted to experience it carefully, he couldn't find that feeling.

"Brother Zhang, do you know how to read the sky? Why don't we drive to Disneyland and have a rest? There are some hotels over there

The villas on the other side of the construction site have just started, so there is no place to live. As soon as the rainstorm came down, all the construction sites turned into mud pits, so there was no way to stay. Lantau is relatively underdeveloped. Especially other villas are in quiet places.

"OK, let's turn around first..."

Zhang Fan was about to promise, but before he finished, he heard a loud "boom" from the rear. The loud noise was different from thunder. Zhang Fan turned to look out from the glass behind the car. When he saw what had happened, his brow wrinkled.

Since Lantau is a big island in the name of mountains, the main part of Lantau is naturally mountains. The road is also built in the mountains. Just now, the mountain on the side of the road in the rear actually fell. Stones and trees rolled down from the mountain blocked up the road.

"Down the street! Landslides

Zhu Xiaochen also found the strange behind at this time. Can't help but scold out.

"Mr. Zhu, what should we do now?"

The driver in front stopped the car and turned to the car behind him.

"Go ahead and find out if there's a hotel or something inside. We'll make do."

Zhu Xiaochen has no way to deal with landslides. It can't be said that the driver should remove all the debris on the road. He can only go to the front to find out if there is any place to stay.

"Yes, Mr. Zhu."

The driver answered and stepped on the gas pedal. The car is heavy and has good tyre grip. You don't have to worry about safety when driving in heavy rain. What needs to be noticed is the mountains on both sides of the road. If it's buried by a landslide, it's a big problem.The car went on. Zhang Fan found that the road ahead was becoming smoother and smoother. Zhang Fan heard the driver's mouth issued a "Yi -" sound, it seems to see something strange. However, after making this sound, he did not say anything else.

"What's the matter, Xiao Zhou?"

Zhu Xiaochen also heard something wrong and asked the driver.

"Mr. Zhu is nothing. I just don't think the two sides of the road look familiar. Maybe I've run less recently, or it's raining? I remember the last time I brought you here, the roadside was not like this Oh, ahead, ahead. "

The driver is talking. All of a sudden, he cried out. Zhang Fanshun looked forward with the driver's raised finger. I saw it in an open field by the side of the road ahead. There is a small village.

The houses in the village are not dense, scattered everywhere. The houses here are very old, and most of them are wooden doors and windows. The cement on the external walls of some buildings facing the street has also peeled off a lot, revealing the red bricks that have been eroded by the rain.

In the village near the road, there is a three story building with a "Hotel" sign.

The three-story building is no less old than other houses in the village. The mottled walls, off painted wooden doors and windows all tell the fact that the hotel has a long history and has not been renovated.

Facing such a building. Zhang Fan doesn't think Zhu Xiaochen is the kind of person who usually doesn't patronize here. But it was already 10:00 a.m. when they came out of Tsim Sha. It's already noon when the car comes here. Driver Xiaozhu's stomach has just been called, it's time to eat.

There should be no restaurant in this small village. Maybe this hotel is the only place to eat.

"Mr. Zhu, why don't we go in and take shelter from the rain and eat something. I don't know how far ahead I have to drive to find a place with people. It's better to be a shop than in the car. "

Driver Xiao Zhou suggested.

"This..."

Zhu Xiaochen hesitated. Seeing Zhang Fan nodding, he thought he should go to hide, so he let the driver drive the car.

Park the car to the side of the road. Through the window, you can see that the door of the hotel is open. There is a string of old-fashioned wind chimes hanging on it. A cold wind blows, and the wind chimes tinkle, which makes it even more cold and silent.

Zhang Fan's side door is just opposite the hotel door. He was the first to go down.

It's raining a lot outside, but for Zhang Fan, it's nothing to rain a little. When you get out of the car, Zhang Fan takes her briefcase and puts it on Miko's head to block the rain for her. Then he puts his arms around her waist and walks into the hotel quickly.

In the whole process, Miko didn't speak, just looked at Zhang Fan with a kind of complicated eyes. Now Zhang Fan seems to have returned to the time when she was just chosen as a companion, which makes people feel gentle and kind. You know, in her training, as a secretary, the briefcase is more important than her. Even if she is drenched, the briefcase should not be drenched. What's more, Miko knows that there is something in the briefcase.

Step into the hotel, a slightly musty air suddenly rushed into the nostrils.

Fortunately, Zhang Fan's expectations for hotels are not very high. It's good to have a rest in this kind of deserted village inn. Anyway, he won't spend the night here.

It's dark outside. It's dark in the lobby. It's a kind of old-fashioned light bulb.

There are several posters of stars in the 1980s and 1990s on the wall. It is estimated that many young people do not know who the people in the posters are. An old table was placed at the corner of the wall. The chair beside the table was a little broken, and one of them even lost an armrest.

Just opposite the gate is a thick, tall, dark counter. At a glance, I didn't see the receptionist who should be sitting in it.

"Anybody? We're going to stay "

Zhang Fan poked his neck and yelled in the deep corridor beside the front desk. He said their car was very quiet. Someone should have heard it. Why is there no one to greet?

"Are you blind?"

A hoarse voice, like sandpaper, suddenly came out of the counter. Zhang Fan was startled. Looking back, he found that there was an old woman in the counter who was bent and wrinkled.

His wife's face is wrinkled, which makes people uncomfortable. And the old woman's left eye should be blind, eyelids slightly open a seam, through the yellow light can see inside is empty and dark.

In addition, there is a terrible scar on her left face. The scar goes from her forehead through her left eye to the lower bar. Only her right face can see clearly. The only intact right eye is protruding like a goldfish, as if the whole eye is about to burst out of its orbit at any time.
