"Oh, what were you talking about just now?" Zhong Kui woke up a little at this time and remembered what Xiao Ming and Zhi Qing were talking about just now.

"Hey! It's nothing. It was easy to get up. When I went out, I saw a big black cat and was startled."

"Oh! Then, go to sleep!" Zhong Kui said, shrinking down and lying down in a comfortable position, not wanting to say anything more.

Xiao Ming and Zhong Kui fell asleep soon.

The miserable Zhiqing couldn't fall asleep no matter what. He kept tossing the creaking wooden bed, with the slender figure lingering in his mind.

Should Zhong Kui tell Zhong Kui about this? He asked himself repeatedly. He didn't know how long he was writhing. In his confusion, a series of plaintive cries, with the help of the wind, were stubbornly delivered into his eardrums. Zhiqing's mind moved.

He hurriedly searched for the source of the crying.

Beside the well in the center of the yard, a woman was sobbing non-stop.

"Sister..." He really wanted to say; you stayed up in the middle of the night and cried here, making everyone uneasy. But seeing the woman's miserable look, he was embarrassed to say it.

The woman ignored Zhiqing's shouts and continued to cover her face and cry... The look of her frail body made people feel pity for her.

"Sister, are you in trouble? Do you need my help?"

"..." The woman stopped twitching her shoulder blades and her voice stopped, as if she was deep in thought. She also seemed to be hesitantly considering whether to speak to the strange man in front of her.

Extremely anxious! Zhiqing was very anxious and asked again: "Sister, is there anything difficult that you need help with?"

His questioning again seemed to have angered the woman's patience. The woman stood up and walked away without even raising her head to look at him.

What a weirdo. Zhiqing was very angry at the woman's unreasonableness and disregard. She disturbed other people's sleep and acted so hypocritically. This kind of woman really has no sense of public morality.

Too lazy to care, as long as she didn't continue crying, it would be fine. With this thought, he was ready to walk into the house. With such a slight movement, he suddenly woke up from his dream. When he opened his eyes, what he saw was dark and strange.

Environment, this is because the moonlight is refracted through the window lattice and enters the house.

Zhiqing woke up from his dream and was no longer sleepy. He could only close his eyes and rest his mind, carefully recalling the strange scenes he saw in his dream. Who is this woman? Why did she choose to enter her dream?

The early morning in the countryside is very lively, the kind of simplicity that returns to nature. There are birds chirping, chickens, ducks, and geese competing with each other. There are also the squeaking sounds of chicken buses rolling on the tractor-taught road.

The hotel is on a road leading to two small county towns. The small county town in the south is quite far from here, so the route for Zhong Kui and the others is in the opposite direction. The small county town in the north is the only way they must pass.

The hotel is like the 'New Longmen Inn' in the desert. There are more people traveling from north to south on the tractor road, and several snack bars have been opened next to the hotel. The tractor road crosses the middle of the snack shop and the hotel, and is connected to one side.

Heading to the south county seat, one side leads to the north county seat.

The early guest at the hotel is still the Northeastern man. He is a frequent visitor here and works hard in a small town. His occupation is a tricycle driver.

Due to the remote location here, all kinds of transportation are not convenient. There are few shuttle buses here, and they may come twice a day. The Northeastern man wanted to take over the business of transporting Zhong Kui and others to the county seat, so he tried every means to get close to them.

Because of this first contact, Zhiqing did not have a good impression of this person.

The Northeast man got up early in the morning and greeted him with a smile.

He was indifferent and perfunctory, filling his mouth with a glass of water and a mouthful of toothpaste. He had no time to pay attention to the other party's greeting and could only nod in response.

Seeing the other party's indifferent look, the Northeast man felt that his hot face was a cold butt. He curled his lips and left.

Seeing that he was about to leave, Zhiqing wanted to stop him and chat for some reason. Maybe it was because of what happened last night! He wanted to find out about this person about the whereabouts of the woman.

Before finding out the truth of the matter, Zhiqing didn't want to alarm others. Only by asking about this Northeastern man would he not make a joke. Because Northeastern men are straightforward, neither humble nor overbearing, and they don't know what to do.

He took a mouthful of mouthwash and didn't keep it in his mouth for a few seconds. He hurriedly spit it out and shouted to the other party: "My cousin, do you want to go to work?"

The Northeastern man stopped, turned around and said with a silly smile: "Hey! That's not work, it's sweating."

"Oh, how much do you make for a trip?"

"The price is based on the direction you're looking at. I usually charge a nominal fee, and I won't charge anything randomly." Seeing the other party actively asking about the price, the Northeastern man couldn't help but his eyes lit up and he said hurriedly.

"Oh!" Zhiqing wiped the toothpaste foam from the corner of his mouth and said, "Are there many guests staying here? Did you send them here?"

"Hey hey! Part of it is."

After a few words, Zhiqing understood one thing. There must be some tacit agreement between the hotel owner and this man. Thinking of the scene when they got off the bus, several rickshaws were blocked in front of the car door, shouting about business.

It is common for a rickshaw driver and a hotel owner to hook up with each other and reach a tacit agreement for their own benefit. This situation can be found everywhere. The driver can continuously bring guests to the hotel, and he can stay in the hotel for free, or send guests to the hotel.

When a guest comes, you get a commission.

Zhiqing's rational speculation was indeed accurate.

The Northeastern man did have an agreement with the hotel. When Zhiqing asked about the woman, he refused to answer and immediately made excuses to leave.

Zhong Kui and Xiao Ming went to the well to rinse their mouths. Zhiqing was still looking at the back of the Northeastern man entering the house. They nodded to each other with complicated eyes and a somewhat helpless look.

Vanilla and Xu Qian also came.

Wen Gen, who was sleeping in the single room, also came over and greeted his brother-in-law with a smile. He took the opportunity to express his attentiveness to his future wife, squeezing a bottle of toothpaste and handing it to her.

"Did you sleep well last night?" Zhong Kui glanced at them and asked.

"Hmm! Not good, the bed seems to have fleas." Vanilla said dissatisfied.

Xu Qian curled her lips, smiled wryly, nodded and said, "Yeah, I think so too."

"Girls' skin is thin, tender and delicious, so fleas come to visit you. We didn't feel it and slept soundly until dawn." Wen Gen said inappropriately.

"..." Vanilla glared.

Xiao Ming snickered.

Zhong Kui remembered something and looked at Zhiqing hurriedly: "Uncle Chen, were you okay last night?"

Zhiqing was slightly startled and hesitated: "It's nothing, I just saw a black cat."

"Black cat?" Wen Gen was surprised, and then muttered: "I didn't see a black cat, but I saw a slender hair."

"Yes, we have them on our bed too." Vanilla added hurriedly.

"Why one?" Zhong Kui asked curiously.
