"Room 406."
The waitress with dyed blond explosive curly hair impatiently threw the room card in front of me, "Hot water is charged separately, the network cable deposit is 200, and the service charge for food delivery to the room is 30." ”I smiled and thanked him, grabbed my room card and left, and behind us were dozens of people, all waiting for God's call, anxiously staring at the queen-like waitress of the country inn.The staff of the county government put us in this "auspicious hotel", which is said to have the best facilities, and said that early the next morning, a special car from the city would pick us up and take us to the airport.The dust has finally settled, and everyone is at ease.If the waitress here had been more kind, I think everyone would have been in a better mood.I looked back at the two ladies who were working impatiently at the front desk, not at their exaggerated hairstyles, but at a faint dark green aura that hung between their eyebrows.Look at the waiters who walked past us, each of them was in good spirits and yawning.Moreover, without exception, between their eyebrows, they all have similar black qi.Only humans who have been absorbed by demons and evil spirits have this kind of color between their eyebrows, and they are endless.Recall what I saw all the way, this county is located in a remote area, the mountains are forested, and there is a big lake embedded in it, the so-called mountains and forests are more enchanting, the deep water is strange, the location of this small dilapidated hotel is built in a place of the back of the sun, the front is the market, the back is Tianyuan, looking out from the bedroom window, there is a tall old locust tree planted in the backyard.Under the wind and rain, there was no popularity in the market, and the countryside was gloomy, and the branches and leaves of the old trees behind them swayed, whimpering, and it seemed that it was only a futile chill.Such a place is naturally the favorite of the mountain spirits.Our room was on the 3rd floor.In the so-called "best-in-class" hotels, there is nothing to be seen in the room except for a hard bed and a table with half a foot missing, and the air is filled with dust and musty smell.After a long period of patience, Ao Chi finally broke out.He pointed to the bed, to the table, to the mildew walls, and finally to me, and asked with the last bit of reason: "Can you go, either go back immediately, or find a five-star restaurant for a big meal, in short, I don't want to stay in this place for a minute" There was no intention of staying, these people are already safe, and Ao Chi and I can return to our city without much effort.But not now, help people to the end, at least we have to clean up the things that shouldn't exist in this hotel.Judging from the symptoms of those people, the situation is not too serious, and it doesn't seem to be a great charm, if it is powerful, how can it only make them fall into poor spirits, and suck their lives dry in one breath.I told Ao Chi about this, but he just glared at me: "These people have such a bad attitude, they deserve to be sucked out of their essence, I don't care about them, they can't die anyway." ”"I can't die now, and I can't survive it for a long time.If you haven't encountered this thing, forget it, you and I have seen it, and I can't say anything if I don't make a move. ”I know his little kid temper is back up.He snorted, fell on the bed, and asked sullenly: "You stayed because of this" Otherwise, why just, he didn't ask, and if he asked, I felt as if it wasn't just for this.The lake in the woods, the heavy rain in the sky, speak in my heart and don't go, don't go, stay, stay.I ignored Ao Chi, walked to the window, and pushed it open.In front of me, there was only an empty field, and not far away, verdant solid wood was laid on the rolling hills, and if I had not hallucinated some flickering, fish-scale points of light, were winking at me through the gaps between the trees.I can't figure out if they're looking at me or if I'm looking at them.It's that the light and rain of the lake have become smaller.The clear and moist air flowed from between the mountains and rivers in the evening, like a fairy, and stuck to my face, and all the fatigue and discomfort of body and emotion were sucked away.It's not cold at all, this wonderful evening breeze, if it is accompanied by an apricot blossom rain willow dance, spring will come out like this.I closed my eyes, my fingers ran over my face, and a thin sheet of water melted into the temperature of my skin, not evaporating, but penetrating.I couldn't help but stick out my tongue, and the tip of my tongue licked a few drops of water off my lips, sweet.Such a feeling, such a sweetness, it seems similar.The indescribable nostalgia and attachment climbed to the heart like vines from every drop of rain.At that time, I was still very young, and I dipped the dew on the moss, and put it on the tip of my tongue, and the faint, pleasant sweetness made me jump like a happy rabbit.I thought I didn't remember the taste anymore.But just now, the moment I opened the window, the memory that had been lost for a long time was awakened by the entangled wind and rain.The sweetness of the rain is exactly the same as the taste of the water droplets on the moss in my memory.Such a light but timeless sweetness is unique.Bang Ao Chi pulled me aside, rudely closed the window, and scolded: "It's sick, it's raining, why are you standing here stupidly, can't you go" Ao Chi's palms waved up and down in front of my eyes, and I woke up when I lost my mind."
Do you think the lake we fell into is familiar," I asked, grabbing his palm and asking very seriously."
Every lake looks the same, how can there be anything familiar and not familiar."
Ao Chi frowned, looked at me strangely, and touched my forehead, "You hit your head when you crashed?"
I stay. ”I refused directly, sat on the bed with my ass, and glared at him, "You really don't think that lake is familiar" "I've seen thousands of lakes, it's really the same" Ao Chi was forced to cry by me, scratching his hair vigorously with a black face."
Always scratch your head and be careful of baldness," I kindly reminded, and my eyes fell on the bedside table, a booklet of a dilapidated Jixiang Hotel.Take it and look at it, under the poorly printed hotel photos, there is a large paragraph of praise for the auspicious hotel and a brief introduction to the entire Dai County.My line of sight stopped on one of the lines, regressed, forward, and regressed, and repeatedly looked at Dai County's beautiful scenery, simple folk customs, and long history, called Juzhou City in ancient times, and was renamed Dai County after the founding of New China.Juzhou City Juzhou City Juanzhou City, it's not early, we have to leave Where to go A conversation that has been so far away that it is almost a piece of ashes, I don't know where in my mind, jumped out.I snapped the booklet closed, stood up and grabbed Ao Chi's hand, dragged it to the window, and regardless of whether it was raining or not, I pushed open the window suddenly, pointed out the window and said: "Juezhou City is Juezhou City" "Juezhou City" Ao Chi is still ignorant."
You amoeba protozoa" I stepped on him angrily and pointed to the hills in the distance, "That lake, you don't remember the broken lake, the place where you and I first met" "Broken Lake" Ao Chi began to scratch his head again, scratching, and his eyes finally lit up, "Oh remember, I ran out of the East China Sea, passed by Juzhou City, and saw a lake with clear and lovely water, so I jumped down to take a bath" I knocked his head angrily: "You use that broken lake as a bathtub, you yourself are comfortable, and as a result, the lake floods, and the torrential rain pours, Caused the entire city of Juzhou to be almost destroyed and then Zimiao took me here and put you "Speaking of this, to be precise, when I said that name, I suddenly stopped unnaturally.Ao Chi didn't seem to notice my little abnormality, and chattered: "Yes, yes, you still call me ugly, I wanted to burn you to death at that time."
Later, I also took an arrow from that guy, and I lost several dragon scales, but it hurt and then I fled to Dongting Lake" memories, which were opened like a box, and the things hidden in it swarmed out, and no one could help it.Remembering and remembering, as he spoke, Ao Chi's face gradually became solemn.At this time, the two of us realized that for so many years, none of us had ever come to this place again, Juzhou City, Broken Lake, the place where I met Ao Chi, I had left a breath of true air, and the lake of trees was invariably missing in my life with Ao Chi.He was lawless here, and I was here with joy and sorrow, but when the guidance of the underworld brought us back here, none of us recognized it.It's quite a joke.Time is indeed a pig-killing knife, cutting off the youth and life of human beings, and cutting off the memories and worries of monsters.However, when the memory came back, why did I feel uneasy "So what" Ao Chi took a breath, stepped forward and closed the window again, returned to me, and grabbed my cold hand, "Look at you, your face has changed.It's just a revisit.At the very least, Dai County will no longer be treated as a natural bathtub by a dragon like the previous Juzhou City. ”"You were a bastard back then."
I gave him a blank look."
Who shouldn't be a bastard when you're young" Ao Chi's crooked reasoning came again, he held up my hand, rubbed it gently, pouted: "It's so good to die and fall into the broken lake, God is going to take this as a gift for our second wedding anniversary, should we go to the lake and plant a husband and wife tree, concentric trees and something like that to commemorate it, so we are here to see each other at first sight" t1706231537:
