Master of the city

"Granny, give us three rooms. Clean. It doesn't matter what the price is. "

Zhang Fan is a little embarrassed. Maybe the mother-in-law's body is too thin. She just lies on the counter again, so that none of them notice her.

"Stay in the shop? Let's register your name. " The old woman raised her eyes and looked at Zhang Fan. While she spoke in that kind of inflexible voice, she took out an old book from the counter and put it on the counter.

"Tell me your name, tell me your real name..."

The old lady said as she flipped her notebook, as if looking for a gap to register. Zhang Fan stares at the book in the old woman's hand and finds that there are black circles on some of the names in the book. He doesn't know what it is for. It feels strange.

"My name is Zhang Chuan and her name is Miko."

There is obviously no ID card system in this hotel. Zhang Fan casually reported his pseudonym. As for Miko Zhang Fan suddenly finds that he seems to have forgotten to ask Miko's real name. Forget it. Just call her Mick first.

"I'm talking about my real name..."

The old woman raised her eyes and looked at Zhang Fan again with her one eye.

"What I'm talking about is my real name, the long bow, the river of mountains and rivers. She's a grain of rice, maybe. "

Zhang Fan said his pseudonym seriously. And the old woman did not ask Zhang Fan for an ID card after listening, so she registered it in the book.

"A room costs 444 yuan a day."

"Four hundred forty-four? I said, "mother-in-law, your number is too lucky."

Zhang Fan has some hoodlums. Generally speaking, the shop owners avoid the figure of four. Especially people on Hong Kong Island are superstitious. How can they have the price of 444 yuan?

What's more, it's said that villains come from poor mountains and evil waters. This kind of price is demanded by this shabby hotel. Isn't it obvious that it's a rip off?

The old woman looked up at Zhang Fan, pointed to the wall next to the counter, and bowed her head on the counter.

Zhang Fan turned his head and saw a piece of yellow paper pasted on the wall, which said "clearly marked price, no credit."

"This money is nothing, but it's too unlucky. Come on, let's have three rooms, and I'll give you 666 for each room."

Zhang Fan's time to speak, Zhu Xiaochen and his secretary Linda, the driver Xiaozhou three people have come in from the outside. As the principal of this trip, Zhu Xiaochen naturally wants to show his generosity. And he is out to solve the problem of Feng Shui. The price of 444 yuan is really unlucky.

Compared with Michael, Linda around Zhu Xiaochen is not so good. She got out of the car first, and then took off her uniform coat to protect Zhu Xiaochen from the rain. At this time, the female secretary's upper body was getting wet.

"After talking about 444, that's 444. We don't charge on credit or raise the price. There are only 302 to 304 rooms on the third floor. Let me know which one you choose to live in. I need to register the room number. "

"Who lives in which room do you still register?" Zhang Fan is speechless. You say you charge so much. There are so many rules. Do you think you are the Forbidden City?

The old woman turned a blind eye to Zhang Fan's complaint and said without expression: "this is the rule."

All right, all right, the rules are the rules. Zhang Fan and Miko asked for 302, Zhu Xiaochen and Linda asked for 303. As for which number is not very lucky, 304 will be given to the driver Xiaozhou.

After registration, the old woman came out from the counter and led them upstairs. It was very overcast outside. There was only a dim and yellow tungsten lamp in the corridor, which made the corridor very dark. The humid and stuffy air made Zhang Fan feel a little suffocated from the north.

At Room 302, the old woman opened the door and a musty smell came. In the room, an old-fashioned ceiling fan hung from the ceiling with brown water stains. The windows were half open. The scarlet curtains were blown up by the wind. Next to the dark red wardrobe, there was a low TV cabinet with a small outdated TV on it.

Opposite the TV cabinet is a double Chuang. Fortunately, the bed and the bedding on it look very clean. Otherwise, it's better to go outside and wait for the rain to stop.

"It's like this when it rains. There will be some musty smell

The old lady explained casually, then she turned around and took Zhu Xiaochen to see other rooms.

In 302's room, Zhang Fan hears Zhu Xiaochen's complaint next door. For a big boss like him, the environment of the village inn may be really unbearable.

After sitting in the car for more than two hours, my body is hard to avoid. Zhang Fan also doesn't care if he still has some rain on his body, so he directly pats his big shape on the Kang. He stretches his body comfortably. Miko is standing at the table, wiping the rain drenched briefcase with the towel from the bathroom.

Compared with Zhang Fan, Miko gets less rain. That's a little bit wet on both arms. When wiping the briefcase, Miko peeks at Zhang Fan on the Kang from time to time."Brother, you are all wet. Why don't you take a bath first. Otherwise, it's easy to catch a cold. "

When peeping again, Michael is caught by Zhang Fan. The girl immediately gets nervous and stammers to find a topic.

"No, it doesn't matter. We don't really come here to stay. We just have a rest. We will leave when the rain stops. After boss Zhu settles down, let's go down and get something to eat. Just don't mention what you want to eat. Neither I nor the people next door are short of money. "

Zhang Fan waved his hand, then rubbed his nose, thinking about what to eat in this place.

As soon as Zhang Fan's voice fell, there was a knock on the door. Miko quickly put down his bag and opened the door. I saw the driver Xiao Zhou standing at the door. Xiao Zhou greets Michael with a smile when he sees him opening the door.

"Miss Michael, Mr. Zhang. I'll go down and see what they have. The boss is taking a bath. Let me bring it up. Mr. Zhang, do you need anything? "

"Down for food? Then I'll come with you. Anyway, I have nothing to do. Miko, let's go down together. "

Zhang Fan sat up from the Kang, stretched a stretch, got up and went to the door. Michelle is very clever and sensible to follow Zhang Fan.

Driver Xiao Zhou's eyes are full of envy. Zhang Fan is so young, but he has such a beautiful woman around him. Anyone who sees her will envy her for a long time. If you look at yourself, you are older than him, but you are just a driver. It is true that people have to die.

The heavy rain outside seems to have no sign of stopping. Just lying on the Kang for a short time, the sky seemed more gloomy than just now. The effect of the dim tungsten light bulb in the corridor is really limited, and the windows on both sides of the corridor have almost no light. Is this the storm on the island? It's too fierce, too strong.

"It's really a shop here. I can't bear to install some good light bulbs in the corridor. It feels like I'm making ghost movies."

Xiao Zhou whispered as he walked.

"Don't be too demanding. It would be nice if we could find a hotel in such a small rural place. In my hometown, there is not even a hotel in the whole village, and many people still live on the mountain. "

Xiao Zhou's complaint made Zhang Fan smile faintly. This kind of hotel environment is very common in many small rural areas. This week should also be with Zhu Xiaochen for a long time, every day in and out of those high-end places. I have a high vision, so I can't see this small place.

But when he came to the stairs, Zhang Fan suddenly felt his sleeves tightened. Turning around, it was Michael who grabbed his sleeve.

"Miko, what's the matter with you?"

Zhang Fan found that Miko's face was a bit frightened.

"No, nothing. I'm just a little scared. Sorry, brother... "

There's a little more remorse on Mick's face. Made a trained toy. She should always face her master with the best attitude. But the dim environment in front of her gave him a kind of fear from the depth of her soul.

It's the first month that someone from her new club got it. They locked her up in a deserted hospital. The hospital was dilapidated and dark. There's medical waste everywhere. Some of the rooms still have traces of blood or something. There are even bodies and limbs inside. And that hospital has no exit. All the places that can get out are closed.

In this dilapidated hospital, there are not no lights. On the contrary, there are such dim tungsten light bulbs hanging in the corridor. From time to time, there's a flash.

So Miko was alone in that place for a whole month. He survived on the instant noodles and mineral water left by the staff. And Miko's will was completely destroyed in this month. It turned out that she was very stubborn, and she became extremely obedient. She didn't want to face that loneliness and fear any more.

Today, the corridor reminds her of the worst memories.

"It's OK. Don't be afraid. As long as you follow me, no one can do anything to you."

Zhang Fan sighed and put his hand around Miko's slender waist. Miko's body trembles and sticks to Zhang Fan. A simple sentence seems to hit the softest part of her heart.

Yes, with Zhang Fan, no one can do anything with her. Aren't those two girls before? They didn't have a deep relationship with Zhang Fan. They just knew each other, but Zhang Fan tried every means to save them. Now Zhang Fan says don't be afraid of her, and Mick really feels that he has an extra backbone in his heart.

She had seen the cruel side of the man. But his ferocity and his cruelty also represent that he has the strength to protect people around him?
