After searching for a long time, Captain Lu and the others finally found a house.
The old man was very easy to talk to. Not only did he let them stay, but he also personally cooked for these people.
At this moment, a soldier could not help but say.
"Captain Lu, don't our Night Wolf Squadron people even take inns when they go out? What kind of logic is that!"
Captain Lu rolled his eyes at him.
"You still know that you are Night Wolf?"
"Have you seen that wolf staying in an inn?”
"Besides, it's rare for a special forces soldier to be as petty as you. You even remember such a small thing?”
"Maybe something happened to her and it's not convenient for us to stay. What can a man like you do by being so calculative?”
After being reprimanded by Captain Lu, the soldier couldn't help but blush and lower his head.
Not long after, the old man came out with a pot of steamed buns and a pot of cabbage stewed with tofu. He put down the food with a smile on his face and said,
"Eat, children!"
"Are you all starving?"
"We're in a remote place and can't find anything to eat. You guys can make do with it first!”
At this moment, their eyes lit up when they saw the white steamed buns and cabbage stewed tofu.
One had to know that living in the wild, seeing such food was like seeing a delicacy!
Captain Lu smiled apologetically and said.
"Old man, you don't know. This is already the best meal for us. Thank you!”
The old man waved his hand as if he was recalling something. After a while, a light suddenly flashed in his turbid eyes.
"Sigh, my son is also a soldier, so when he sees you, it's like he's seeing my son!”
"But my son hasn't been back for a long time!”
Captain Lu and the others were stunned. Their hands that were holding the steamed buns were in a panic. They didn't know whether to let go or not.
Captain Lu couldn't help but ask.
"Old man, what about your son?"
The old man suddenly came back to his senses. Seeing that the soldiers suddenly took the steamed buns but refused to eat them, he knew that there must be a misunderstanding, so he smiled and said.
"Hehe, just eat it. My son is not dead!”
"He found this place unlucky and moved out.”
"This village is strange. You don't know, but before this, this village was very strange!”
The few of them immediately heaved a sigh of relief. At first, they thought that his son had gone on some mission and sacrificed himself heroically, so they picked up the steamed bun and chewed it again.
Captain Lu nodded and also took a bite. Thinking about how he was rejected by the inn today, he also felt that this village was very strange, so he could not help but ask.
"Old man, can I ask you something?”
"Tell me!"
"I saw an inn in this village? It was called Yin Yang Inn, right? Do you know this inn?"
The smile on the old man's face instantly disappeared. After sweeping a glance at the few of them, he could not help but ask in a deep voice.
"Why are you asking?"
Captain Lu and the others were also stunned. They didn't know how to ask about the background of this inn. The old man's face had changed?
Hence, he hurriedly explained.
"Old man, don't misunderstand. We were going to complain there today, but the boss rejected us and didn't let us stay there!”
"We just thought it was strange, so we wanted to ask!”
The old man heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that. Then, he nodded with fear and said,
"That's because the shopkeeper didn't want to harm you. It's for your own good!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Captain Lu and the others were even more dumbfounded!
What did he mean?
Is it for our own good that you're not letting us stay in the hotel?
It's not like we don't want to pay!
Captain Lu looked at the old man with a puzzled expression. He frowned as if he couldn't understand." Old man, what do you mean?”
"Isn't the shop opened for people to live in?”
"If he doesn't let people live there, how can he earn money?”
The old man nodded and said.
"Indeed, an inn is opened for people to stay in.”
"That's right, but that inn is not for the living. It's for the dead!”
All the soldiers were stunned. They looked at each other and felt a chill run down their spines.
For the dead?
That's the mortuary?
Suddenly, everyone could not help but recall the Yin Yang Inn. That inn indeed had the style of a mortuary.
The old man stood up after saying that. He looked at the few of them with a hunched back and reminded them.
"I advise you not to go, lest you cause trouble for the shopkeeper!”
"It's also to avoid causing trouble for yourselves. In short, that place is not a place you can go!”
The old man left after giving his instructions. He seemed to know something, but he did not want to say more because he was afraid.
Captain Lu and the other soldiers looked at each other in confusion.
"For the dead?" One of the soldiers asked," Is this old man playing with us? There were crematoriums, funeral parlors, and places for the dead to stay?”
"Who knows? The elderly are superstitious these days. They might have been cheated!”
"Forget it, forget it. I have a place to stay tonight anyway.”
Captain Lu glanced at them and shook his head slightly.
"This village does seem a little abnormal! It gives me a sinister feeling. Even the old people here…are quite scary.”
"Everyone, try to be careful when you rest at night.”
"We change shifts every hour and take turns to watch over the place. We don't want to be unaware of what's happening!”
