Chapter 359

I went to the bathroom to wash my face briefly, and then lay on the bed.

It would be a lie to say that I am not tired. As soon as I lay down, I felt sleepy and soon fell asleep.

This small town is very quiet at night. Although it is facing the street, there are no large vehicles driving on the street, and almost no pedestrians walking around, so the ears are much quieter.

I didn't know how long I had been in a sound sleep before I heard a little sound in my ear.

The sound seemed to come from the corridor, like footsteps.

At first, I thought there were other residents walking around.But I vaguely felt that the footsteps stopped at the door of our room.

People's feelings are sometimes very strange. Although I am in a state of sleep, my body's senses can accurately capture such a strange situation.

I opened my eyes suddenly, the drowsiness faded away quickly, and I listened attentively.

But when I listened carefully, it seemed that the footsteps disappeared.Deathly silence returned to the corridor.

Now there is a dead silence all around, but there seems to be something wrong with this silence.It shouldn't be so quiet, at least...should have heard my third uncle's snoring?
Among the people I have lived with, my third uncle's snoring can be ranked second.The first place is Fatty Pang Dahai. If the third uncle is willing to admit it, he should be in the second place.The snores of the two of them are definitely comparable. Although they are not as loud as Fatty's, they each have their own characteristics and rhythms.

It's just that the third uncle never admits that he snores. He always says that a person who cultivates the Tao, clears the air into the body, and when he sleeps and breathes, the exhaust gas in the body will also be naturally expelled from the body.Snoring is a manifestation of poor exhaust for people like me who do not practice Taoism, and it should not happen to him.

I even broke up with him because of this, I said that he usually comes with all the wine and meat, it is not a practice at all, and he has no clear energy to enter the body.

For this reason, Uncle San was in a hurry with me.

So today my ears are so clean, I feel something is wrong.

It was pitch black in the room at this time, but it was surprisingly quiet.I hurriedly jumped from the bed to the ground, fumbled for the switch, and turned on the lights in the room.

I first looked towards my third uncle's bed.

Sure enough, as I expected, his quilt was scattered on the bed, but there was no one on it.I leaned over and touched the quilt with my hand, there was still third uncle's warmth on it.

There was a buzz in my head, this is not the first time he has disappeared around me.Uncle San is more conceited and likes to make his own decisions when encountering things.But every time, he would make a lot of trouble.

As soon as we settled down in this salt water town, he made such a move, which made me scold him in my heart.

But after a while, I forced myself to calm down, and analyzed whether the footsteps I heard just now belonged to my third uncle?
Thinking of this, I suddenly became enlightened.This must be the case, this guy, Uncle, went to find the proprietress behind my back, right?

If so, he really opened my eyes.

I hurriedly put on my shoes, put on my clothes, walked to the door lightly, and pushed the door open a crack.

A dim light was on in the corridor, but no one moved.I walked out of the door gently, walked along the corridor to the stairs, and followed the stairs to the first floor.

As soon as I reached the first floor, I heard the sound of the night wind outside.

When I was on the second floor just now, I heard the silence outside.As soon as I got to the first floor, I found that it was windy outside.

The wind blew the two doors of the inn rattling.Although the door was bolted inside, the wind seemed to blow the door open.

The strange thing is that there is no light on this floor, but a candle is lit on the counter.

The candle was quite thick, about the thickness of a rolling pin, and the candle on it was burning brightly, fluttering and wobbling due to the wind blowing through the crack in the door.The light and shadow in the room were also blurred by the candle.

I was shocked. This scene was a bit weird, and I couldn't help but get goosebumps.

But I shook my head again, now I am also nervous, and I will think in that direction wherever I go.Maybe it was the proprietress who lit the candles in order to save some money.After all, when my third uncle and I came to this store, we didn't see the second group of customers except ourselves.

I walked to the counter, but found that there was no one in the counter.Not only was the third uncle gone, but even the proprietress was gone.

I listened carefully, and besides the wind outside, I also heard a little strange sound.

The sound didn't come from the hall, it seemed to come from another direction.

I turned around to look for it, and found a door in a corner of the hall, which was ajar.

Since it was also my first time here, I didn't know what was behind that door.

But now that my third uncle is missing, I can only touch it to have a look.If it was the third uncle who came over on his own initiative, I am worried that like last time, the third uncle was confused by the sound of the flute and left our room passively.

Thinking about it carefully, it is not impossible.We followed in the footsteps of Liang Yue and came to this salt water town.Since Liang Yue and Lao Xiao were already in trouble, no one could be sure that there was nothing strange in Yanyan Town.

Judging from the direction of the door, this door should lead to the back room or the backyard of the hotel.

From the crack of the open door, I could feel a cool breeze blowing.It seems that the back of the door is not a room, but leads to the outside.So I judged that the backyard of this hotel should be behind this door.

Fearing that I would be abrupt or make a wrong judgment, I stood at the door and coughed lightly, then asked in a low voice, "Is anyone there?"

Except for the wind, I didn't hear any voice responding to me.

I asked three times in a row, still no one answered.The proprietress seemed to only receive our group of guests, so she closed the shop.

From this, I had an ominous premonition again, we couldn't live in a black shop, could we?

Since no one answered, I bravely pushed the door open.

As soon as the door was opened, a gust of cold wind came blowing towards the face.I couldn't help shivering, I came out in a hurry, I didn't wear the down jacket.

Sure enough, we came to the backyard of the hotel. The moon was shining brightly in the sky. There were some flowers and plants growing randomly in the yard. It seemed that no one took care of them. They grew upside down and uneven.

A stone-paved path stretches forward at the foot.

I was standing on the path when I heard a rhythmic sound coming from ahead.The sound was rumbling and rumbling.It seems that something is rubbing against each other.

At this time, I didn't just want to find the third uncle in my heart.I also became curious. In the middle of the night, Sister Hua is not in front of the shop, what will she do in the back?

I stepped forward along the stone road, step by step.The cold wind blew, and I shivered a few times, and my teeth were chattering with the cold.
