Sourness

At the turn of spring and summer, the climate in the mountains is changeable. Not long after they set off, the sky began to rain. At first, it was just a fluffy drizzle. At dusk, the rain began to increase, and the temperature dropped significantly. .

Spending the night out in the wild doesn't seem like a good idea in weather like this.

Mi Yue was hesitating whether to stop and search if there is any place to stay nearby, when she heard two beeps of the horn, the old cat's car chased up from behind.

When Mi Yue rolled down the car window, the old cat said to him loudly: "I know where to stay!"

Mi Yue nodded, signaling him to go ahead.

In just the blink of an eye, half of his sleeves were wet.As soon as the window was closed, Mi Yue couldn't help complaining to the little owl, "How did you survive outside in such heavy rain?"

The little owl didn't take it seriously, "In some places, the branches are dense, and there are some tree holes, which can also block the rain. If it can't stop... then it will be drenched."

Mi Yue reached out her hand and touched its head lightly, secretly feeling that the life of wild animals is not easy.

The old cat's car turned into a side road.

When Mi Yue followed, he vaguely saw a sign standing on the side of the road, but it was raining too much at the moment, so he couldn't see what was written on the sign at all. He could only see a huge red sign under the sign. arrow.

The road is not wide enough for two cars to pass each other.The trees on both sides of the road were dense, and the outstretched branches and leaves almost blocked the sky above the road.

Fortunately, the road was not long, and Mi Yue soon saw the white walls and red tiles protruding from the thick shade, like a private hotel built in the mountains.

Getting closer, Mi Yue saw that the iron gate outside the hotel was open, and Lao Mao's car had parked under the awning in the yard.He was carrying a travel bag and was standing near the front of the car talking to someone.

The area of ​​the canopy is quite spacious, and it can park six to seven cars visually.Perhaps because of the bad weather, there were not many guests. At the moment, there were only two pickups under the canopy besides him and the old cat.

To be honest, it has been a long time since Miyue has seen anyone of the same kind that is more shabby than his shabby pickup.

Not only were the two pickups covered with scratches, but the entire vehicle was dirty.The rear bucket of the car was covered with rainproof cloth, and it was impossible to see what was in the bucket, but several wheels were covered with mud.

Mi Yue guessed that the two cars probably drove out from the deep mountains.

Although the road they came on was a bit bumpy, the road surface had been repaired and there was not so much mud.

After Mi Yue parked the car, she saw clearly that the person standing with the old cat was a fat middle-aged man in his fifties, with a smile on his face to welcome guests.

The old cat waved at him, "Xiao Mi, come here, come and meet, this is Lao Li, the owner of the hotel. This is my little brother, surnamed Mi."

Although Mi Yue was a little annoyed by Lao Mao's familiar attitude, she still politely called Brother Li.

Being out and about and letting people know you have company isn't a bad thing.Especially if the old cat only looks at the appearance, he can still calm down the situation.

He has the aura of a Lianjiazi, introverted and contemplative, but will show his edge inadvertently.

And calm, and calm.

Mi Yue felt that if they were real companions, he would feel very safe.

Lao Li hurriedly smiled and said, "Little brother, you are welcome."

Mi Yue saw that the old cat had known the owner of the shop early on, and when the old cat opened his mouth, Lao Li would show an attitude of listening carefully, as if he was not facing his guests, but his head teacher.

Mi Yue didn't know the details of the old cat, so naturally she couldn't guess the friendship between the two.But Lao Li's expression was too cautious, Mi Yue guessed that he might have something to ask.

Sure enough, Lao Li exchanged pleasantries with them, and then whispered with a cautious expression: "The weather is bad, there are not many customers, and the two buildings behind are still being renovated, so only the front building is open. This... the first floor There are already guests, the two of you should live upstairs. This...the guests on the first floor are afraid of noise, you two try to..."

Mi Yue's heart skipped a beat, the old cat already understood, and hurriedly said: "Understood, understood, we will leave after the night, it will not affect others."

Old Li saw that Mi Yue was white and clean, and he didn't look aggressive, so he guessed that he understood what he said, so he welcomed the two of them into the hotel under an umbrella.

As soon as you enter the door, you will find a small foyer. On one side of the hall is the restaurant and kitchen, and on the other side are two guest rooms. The doors of these two rooms are closed at the moment, and it is very quiet.

If they hadn't seen the lights on in the room before entering, they might not have guessed that there were guests living in it.

Although the door of the kitchen on the other side was closed, the sound of pots and pans could still be heard.

At this time, it is estimated that the chef of the hotel is preparing dinner.

The stairs are on the side of the restaurant. As soon as Lao Li took the two new guests up the stairs, he heard a click, and the door of the guest room outside the first floor opened, and a man of medium build with a dark and thin face left. After coming out, a pair of slender eyes looked towards the direction of the stairs very vigilantly.

Lao Li hurriedly greeted him, "Hey, Brother Zhao, are you resting well? There is mutton tonight, it will be ready in a while."

The person called Brother Zhao by Lao Li is actually much younger than him, but when he looks at people, he looks expressionless, giving people a feeling that he is not easy to mess with.

Hearing Lao Li talking to him, he just nodded his head, his eyes unscrupulously swept Lao Mao and Mi Yue back and forth a few times, and then went back with a blank expression.

Mi Yue found her heart beating a little faster.He felt that this person looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.

There is a narrow corridor upstairs, with two guest rooms on each side. Lao Mao and Mi Yue unanimously picked two guest rooms away from the stairs, one on the left and one on the right, just opposite the door.

The old cat felt that the people who lived on the first floor were not likely to be on the right path, and something had happened, and it would be a waste of time to take the stairs.He didn't expect Miyue to go with him.

The old cat felt that Miyue, who seemed to be ignorant of the world, was actually a person with a clear heart.

Mi Yue knew that the old cat was sizing him up, and his eyes were rather strange.

He originally wanted to ask him about the hotel, but then realized that this was also an unpredictable stranger whom he relied on, so he immediately lost the interest in exchanging greetings, nodded and entered his room.

The layout of the guest room is quite satisfactory. As soon as you enter the door, there is a washroom, and then you walk in, there is a big bed, a table and chairs.

Outside the window is the backyard of the hotel, which is divided into several neat vegetable gardens. Behind the vegetable gardens are two small buildings of similar specifications.With the lights on, it doesn't look like someone.

In the distance are the green mountains and forests shrouded in rain.

The scenery is still beautiful.

A group of black shadows rushed over from under the eaves, slammed into the glass window, and slid down the glass window in a daze.

Mi Yue hurriedly opened the window and let in the little owl who was watching the wind for him.Touched its head, touched its wings and claws, and asked it in multiple voices, "Is it hurting? Are you okay?"

The little owl shook its head and got up dizzily, "It's... not bad."

It has seen Miyue's car, so it naturally knows about window glass, but it has never lived in human society, and it never expected that such invisible windshields are installed in human houses!

Miyue was also very distressed, and rubbed its head, "I'm sorry, Xiaomao."

As soon as I entered the door, I was preoccupied with observing the environment, and forgot to open the window first.

The little owl ignored the new nickname given to it by Twolegs, and began to report the situation responsibly, "There are a lot of people in this house, and two people are making a fire to cook..."

It has seen Miyue use an alcohol stove to boil water for instant noodles, and knows that it means cooking.

"There are still many people in two houses." It can't count the exact number of people, so it can't say, "There is also a monkey!"

The little owl still finds it very strange to see friends in the wild where humans live.

Mi Yue doubted its expressive ability, "Really a monkey?"

As Lao Li just introduced, he and the hotel staff lived in a bungalow on the side of the building, and the one with the monkey was probably the guest in the two rooms downstairs.

Mi Yue thought of the man she saw on the stairs just now, he didn't judge people by appearance, that man's face was not kind, he didn't seem like someone who would keep pets.

"It's really a monkey!" The little owl nodded earnestly, "It's exactly the same as the one that ran past our car during the day! No, no, it's different, this one is a little bald, not so fat!"

That's when it knew that this furry thing was named "monkey" by humans.

Mi Yue was a little tempted, and felt that it would be great if she could talk to this monkey, so that she could have a side-by-side look at the general situation of the guests downstairs.

Knowing oneself and knowing the enemy also saves him from being blindly suspicious.

But this matter is difficult, and there is no need to risk your life just to talk to the monkey.

"Okay, just stay indoors." Mi Yue patted Xiao Mao's head, "It's raining outside, don't go out. Let's rest overnight and leave early tomorrow morning."

The little owl turned its head, narrowed its eyes slightly, and showed a little disgusted expression.

It is used to living in the wide mountains and forests, so it is not very satisfied with this palm-sized room.But it also knows that human life is like this, and the thing called "car" that carries them out is just a little bit big.

Fortunately, everything they ate was delicious.

During dinner, there was a small episode. When Miyue took the little owl and the old cat to the restaurant downstairs for dinner, she heard what seemed to be a quarrel in the guest room on the first floor.

The voices of several big men were noisy, but they all used a dialect that I don't know. I don't know if the old cat understands it, but Miyue only understood one sentence: If you break up, you will break up. Who is afraid of whom? !

Mi Yue was confused when she heard it, but looking at the meaningful smile on Lao Mao's face, it seemed as if she had figured out something.

Mi Yue rinsed the braised pork ribs in boiling water, put them in a small plate and fed them to the little owl.

The little owl didn't care about the conflicts of the human beings, and just concentrated on eating. While eating, he directed Miyue to pick up food for it, "That meatball, have another one!"

Mi Yue smiled, "The new ones are better than instant ones, right?"

As soon as he made a sound, the old cat's attention was attracted by this person's favor again.He also saw that Miyue seemed to be cooperating with the owl's order.

He began to suspect that this little thing was actually a pet that Mi Yue had kept by her side since she was a child.If they just met by chance, could the master and pet be able to cooperate so tacitly? !

By the way, there is also a snake.

Where was Mi Yue hiding Erqing, who was said to be a poisonous one?

The old cat was in a trance when he heard a bang, and the noisy noise that was separated from the first floor exploded in the air in an instant, startling the two guests in the restaurant who had their own concerns.

Immediately afterwards, a black shadow about half a person's height rushed over.It originally rushed towards the restaurant, but when it rushed to the door, it found that there were still people in the restaurant. It made a sharp turn, followed the Duobao Pavilion next to the door of the restaurant, and climbed up to the beam of the restaurant.

As soon as Mi Yue raised her head, she was facing a dry and thin hairy face. On the hairy face, a pair of frightened round eyes turned around, as if looking for some safe place.

It turned out to be the monkey that Xiao Mao had mentioned.

The author has something to say:

Mi Yue: The people around me are not like good people... Fortunately, I have Xiao Mao...
