Chapter 3 01 room or miss?

There is everything on the Internet. It is said that in Lukang, Changhua, there is a folk custom that is horrifying... Netizens reposted and reposted. The original article was probably written like this: In Lukang, as long as someone hangs or dies unjustly, the temples in Lukang will unite to plan a route from the place where the body was found, and finally send it to the sea from Fulu River. The whole activity is called "sending meat dumplings". Hong Kong people do not call it "rounding up the hanged ghosts" because it is disrespectful to the dead. The temple will inform everyone of the route and time (all at night), and the company will not allow us to work overtime that day, so as not to encounter them after get off work.Usually, "send meat dumplings" within seven days of the discovery of the body, otherwise the unjustly deceased will find a substitute (that is, someone will hang himself soon).

In recent years, the meat dumpling delivery has been smooth (maybe the mage’s skill has increased), and they can be sent out to sea smoothly according to the planned route. It will cause the entire Fa conference personnel to run around in Lukang.He got lost a few times, and the whole Lukang panicked (because that meant he was looking for a substitute, who could it be? I don’t know!) So the next time you come to Lukang to play, you hear that you want to "send meat dumplings", don't think that there are really meat dumplings to eat, leave Lukang and go home as soon as possible!

"Really?" When I read it for the first time, I was horrified. Jiu Zhidao, who writes everything, and of course horror novels, thought that the horrible folk custom of "giving meat dumplings" would help his writing, so he asked me to go to Lukang to help him collect materials. Nine Knives made it clear on the phone: "If you just talk about something that I can google on the Internet, I won't give you a dime. Remember, I want exclusive, I want special, I want What I want is a subject that other writers can’t get!” "Understood." "Also, you must remember that there are many ghost stories, supernatural legends, or country tales on the Internet that are bluffed by netizens. Don't be too sure about it? It doesn't matter if you find out it's fake, I still I will pay you according to the minimum basic hourly wage, just don’t fool me!” Although he is a man, Nine Swords still has a bit of humanity.

"By the way, if this custom is true, is it necessary to take pictures of people hanging themselves?" I was very disturbed. "It's up to you to take a picture! I don't want to see that kind of thing! If you dare to put that kind of photo in the attached file, get out!" "What kind of exclusive is that?" Then I don't understand. "Why did I send you there if I knew? Anyway, I just figured out a way, so it's up to you!" Yes, I understand that. But if I really want to be exclusive, I have to wait until someone hangs himself in the town, so that I can get first-hand interview materials, take some photos of what I am doing, and so on!But this kind of "waiting method" seems to seek the bad luck of other people's towns, which is not only strange, but also very bad.

What to do? I made up my mind to live in Lukang Town first, to see what "other strange things" happened, and then add fuel to it, and send it to Jiu Daoquan to fool him, so that he would forget that he had told me to do it. thing. Where do you want to live? I rode an old motorcycle that would be scrapped at any time, and came to a motel that looked great from the outside, and I was about to go in and have a rest, but... I should not be able to get away with 2,000 yuan for one night, and nine knives Will you pay me so much for accommodation? If it doesn't work, it will be a big loss. I still called Jiudao who seemed a bit stingy first.

"No." Jiu Dao flatly refused me. "Why? Is it because it's too expensive?" I was a little upset. "Pig, I'm thinking about you. Remember our agreement? How much I will pay you will determine how powerful the inspiration you get. If you stay in a good hotel all the time, you won't run into ghosts or strange things. There is also breakfast delivered to the door every morning, shit, how do you get money from me?" "That's right." He was the one talking, and I was forced to wander around the small town of Lukang. After riding for half an hour, I finally found an old hotel with a rotten appearance. There were two homeless men sitting on the floor drinking Visby and apple cider at the door, and the third homeless man was helping a wild dog to masturbate.

My gut tells me it's not easy here! Pushing open the door without automatic induction, I walked in, of course I didn't hear the cordial welcome. Behind the counter, a middle-aged man who was applying a facial mask was wearing a white sweater, blowing on an electric fan, and watching porn. Wait, porn? It’s only three o’clock in the afternoon, and I’m watching porn in broad daylight, it’s ridiculous, especially the quality of this porn looks terrible, it’s fine if the picture is blue and grainy, the male lead looks like a pig Forget it, the heroine also looks like a pig and screams like a pig!Damn, the porn channels these days are so depraved that they dare to charge money for such quality!

But doing my own business, I took out my ID card and put it on the table: "Boss, I want a house." "Oh." The middle-aged uncle stood up in slow motion, half of the mask on his face fell off in an instant, and the remaining half was still stubbornly stuck to his face.But the uncle didn't mind, he shook his feet and looked at me: "Young man, you're alone?" "Yes, alone." I smiled, "Excuse me, how much is the cheapest night?" "Room or Miss?" "...Huh?" I couldn't respond. "The cheapest room is 300 a day, and the cheapest is 600 for two hours for a young lady."

"I... I just need to live in a room." I was very stiff. "Miss also has 500 for two hours, but it sucks." While shaking his feet, the uncle flicked half of the mask on his face, not knowing that it was Qiu Xiaxiao. "I'll just have a room, thank you." I wanted to die. "Miss also has three hundred, but it's really bad." The uncle continued to emphasize. "Thank you, I really don't need it." "Boy, this kind of money cannot be saved, because there is still a difference between bad and bad." I was a little angry, and when I was about to ask him to show me some respect, a pair of adulterers and prostitutes came out of the hotel, put the room key on the counter table, and went out without even bothering to check out.

I froze for a moment, the adulterers and prostitutes looked familiar... Suddenly, I found that the porn scene that the uncle was watching was gone, and there was only one bed left. This... Could it be... Could it be that the bad porn movie that the middle-aged uncle was watching just now was starred by those two dogs and men who just walked out? Could it be that this is the legendary candid shot? My mind went blank, but my body honestly took out three one-hundred-dollar bills.After all, it's too cheap. The uncle boss registered my information casually, and then pushed the key over.

"Wait, isn't this the key that was put here just now by that pair of... devout men and women?" I paused. "That's right." The uncle frowned, as if I had asked a stupid question. "So, my room is the same as theirs?" "Yes indeed." "Then...then you don't even need to tidy up your room? Just give it to me?" I couldn't help getting angry. "If you want to tidy up, you need to pay more." The uncle's brows deepened. Indeed, 300 yuan is not too much to ask for, but this is only a small problem. In comparison, I am very concerned about this big question: "Boss, if I'm not mistaken, the devout couple who just walked out are obviously the same group as the porn movie you were watching just now." "Yes." The uncle shook his foot and confessed bluntly. "You secretly photographed them?" "yes." The uncle’s expression is the same as my expression when he said "Miss, pork chop bento to take away" or "I want a No. 7 meal, change the drink to a hot latte cup". I was deeply shocked. But since I was a child, I have been living in the misery and hilarity. Calmness is my strong point! "Maybe I'm asking too much, but I don't want to be seen. Is there a room without pinholes?" "There is no such room." My mind was on fire.This is probably the craziest thing I've ever heard in my life. "So you must watch it?" "you must look." My brain was completely on fire, and the most crooked words I've ever heard in my life were instantly updated to these four words. "Then I can't stop." When I pressed my ID card and three hundred-yuan bills on the counter and wanted to put them back into my purse, the middle-aged man slapped hard and pressed half of my three-hundred-yuan bills under his palm. This bold gesture of his made the entire mask fall off with a snap. "Wait!" shouted the uncle with his whole face exposed. "..." No matter what I do, I just can't move the three hundred yuan. "It's okay if you don't want to be seen. Come, except for the four rooms on the second floor, you can live in any room upstairs." "?" Following the uncle's eyes, I saw three keys beside the rotten TV screen, namely 201, 202 and 204.As for 203, it was left behind by the man and woman who checked out the room to run errands in broad daylight. None of the keys to other floors were found. "I can live in every room above the second floor?" I wondered, what kind of living method is this? "That's right, every door is unlocked. You can open the door without a key. You can live on the third, fourth, and fifth floors. Each floor has four rooms. There are water and electricity. You will be treated well. !" The uncle took the three hundred yuan away with all his strength, and stuffed it into his pocket without even breaking it. "No monitor?" "No." I took a deep breath and made a determined face: "I don't understand very well, but if I find out that I have been watched, I will ask you to refund your money and I will call the police to arrest you!" "It's okay to call the police and get the money back... I said boy, how many days do you want to stay here?" "...I don't know, maybe it will be a while." "That's it, then do you want to prepay the rent? We will get a 50% discount for every ten days of prepayment here!" "50% off!" I was shocked. I figured it out, it costs 3,000 yuan to stay for ten days, and you can save 1,500 yuan with a 50% discount. How can it be such a bargain!I can tell Jiu Dao that I live in a total of 3,000, but in fact I put 1,500 in my pocket, a total of 1,500! "Deal! But you have to write me a receipt, write three thousand!" I immediately counted the bills. "What's the problem then?" The uncle really went on the road and wrote a fake receipt in exchange for my money as quickly as possible. It is normal for this kind of lousy hotel to have no elevator. I walked up the stairs with my simple luggage, passed the four normal rooms with keys on the second floor, and walked up to the third floor. Come to a room at random, hold the doorknob, it is really unlocked, just turn it and it will open. The first impression is that... "Oh, as expected, it's three hundred yuan." I threw the backpack on the bed. The floor is dark red and has a rubbery texture when you step on it. Simply put, it has no texture, and some spots on it look like burnt cigarette ash. The toilet is an ancient squatting cesspit, which is absolutely amazing, but it's not bad, whether it's sitting or squatting, the stool is squeezed out from the same place.I pulled the ring, and yellow water came out. The force of the water flow was barely enough to break the stool. The mirror in the bathroom was broken, causing me to see my multiple personality in the mirror. The toothbrush is new in a plastic case and has not been removed, but the plastic case is full of dust, obviously it has not been lived in for a long time.As for the mouthwash cup, it’s fine if it’s not new, and there’s still a sticky trace of lipstick on it, so don’t think I’ll pick it up and use it. During the day, I probably hang around outside, and when I go back to the hostel, I need to sleep, and the most important thing is the bed.But the bed is not a spring bed, but a mattress made of coconut shells, the same as those used in most student dormitories. It has been around for a long time, and you can still smell the musty smell that has accumulated over time when you lie on it. The pillow was even worse, with strange spots on it, I don't know if it was a young mushroom.The smell of disinfectant in the room was very strong, but it couldn't cover up the musty smell. The only thing on the verge of passing is the window, but it's still a near-passing fail. All the shops and signs in the town can be seen from the window. It is not a view, but the window is very large, and the lighting is good. However, the glass is dark brown. If you don’t open the window, you will be in the room at noon. Dark and gloomy.I think the thick green curtains are also one of the sources of the musty smell. Open the simple wardrobe, and there are five plastic hangers hanging inside. There is no refrigerator, let alone air-conditioning. I turned on the all-iron ancient electric fan, and luckily it still works. Tried the TV, only the wireless station, but as long as I can get a signal, I should be satisfied. Although the boss downstairs doesn't seem to be familiar with senior lawyers, I don't want to be accused, so I won't mention the name of the hotel I stayed in.In short, the hotel I stayed at this time was rotten on the outside, and it was even worse on the inside. To be honest, it only cost 300 yuan a night. It was super inflation-resistant, but it was very rotten. Less than this hostel can make people spend more than 300 yuan to qualify. "I'm going to stay here for ten days... Forget it, I just come back to sleep every day anyway." I looked at my watch, it was only four o'clock in the afternoon. Then go out and hang around first, shall we?Lukang is a traditional ancient town in Taiwan. There are too many interesting things to experience that cannot be regarded as inspiration for the story. Let me go for a walk according to the normal way of playing! After making up my mind, I was about to go downstairs when I suddenly thought of... Since the room is unlocked, how can I prevent others from entering the room and stealing my luggage? I did some research, and it wasn't that there was no lock, but that the horn lock on the doorknob was broken at all, and I couldn't even lock it with a click from the inside, so I had to use a weak-looking chain to buckle it.The problem is, there's no way to lock it from the outside. "Forget it, it's just a few clothes and underwear anyway." I sneered at my luggage. Just go downstairs and go out. In the afternoon, I went to Lukang Tianhou Temple to pay my respects. I walked around the old street and took more than 100 photos. I almost broke my foot, but this town is really interesting. In the evening, I ate a lot of snacks on Miaokou Street, and I was super full. In the end, I bought a bottle of water and a pack of shrimp cakes for supper in case of emergencies.Go back to that lousy hotel worth three hundred dollars a night, no, one hundred and fifty dollars, and it's only seven o'clock in the evening. There seemed to be no other guests, the boss was alone behind the counter reading gossip magazines. I'm going upstairs. "Boy, are you sure you don't want Miss?" the uncle shouted from behind. "No." I said firmly. Especially after I have seen what a three hundred yuan room is, I don't want to know what the three hundred yuan lady is like.One, point, all, no, think! "Then will you go out at night?" The uncle raised his voice. "I don't plan." I rubbed my belly, it was really good. "Yes, you are the only customer today, so I will ignore the store. I will go to my friend's house in the next alley to play mahjong all night. The door will be locked, and I will come back to open the door for you tomorrow morning." "Whatever." I don't care. "If you are hungry and want to eat instant noodles, remember that there are still here." The uncle pointed to the unfinished instant noodles on the table. Super impolite dick uncle. "..." I walked upstairs without looking back, ignoring what the uncle continued to yell. If I hadn't rushed upstairs, stopped, and listened carefully to what the uncle said, then I would have heard the uncle say: "Young man, no matter what you encounter at night, remember, it is useless to chant Amitabha Buddha." ..." "Close your eyes and fall asleep quickly!"
