Monument of Life and Death

  Chapter 17 Wall

Ok? What's the color of this wall?

   Xiaolan had an epiphany, looked at a small wall in front of him, and then at the wall near the edge of the table.

  The colors of the two parts are different!

  The boss was still cursing, Xiaolan moved back a little, trying to see the panoramic picture of the wall in this small area under the table.

  The color of the wall in the middle is obviously different from that of the surrounding circle. Although both are white, the surrounding wall is obviously yellower. The wall in the middle is set off very white, forming a neat square, with a clear boundary between the white wall and the yellow wall.

   Xiaolan gently touched the walls on both sides with his fingers, there was not much difference, but the white wall in the middle was slightly sunken than the surrounding yellow walls.

  Why does the wall under the table in the laundry room look like this?

   Before Xiaolan had time to think, she heard a loud call from above her head.

   "Boss!"

  Like the voice of a little fool.

  "Boss! Are you there! I still don’t receive any money!"

  The voice came from directly above Xiaolan. Xiaolan was shocked by the clarity of the voice, and at the same time, he thought that if they were directly above him, they would not be far away from the stairs.

  It was the sound of pushing the chair again, and the boss seemed to stand up and shouted angrily.

  "Little Hui!...Qian Hui!..."

   did not respond. This should be the name of the lady boss. The lady boss seems to have left from next door. The crying has long since disappeared, but Xiaolan just noticed it.

  I didn’t find his wife, the boss could only go out on his own and rushed out. Xiaolan wanted to observe this special wall again, but knew that the opportunity was indispensable. Even a little fool would not be able to delay it for long. Now the urgent task is to get away.

  Opened the curtain, the room was empty, Xiaolan crawled out of the probe, and saw that there was no danger, and quickly moved to the door.

  From the corner, there was the sound of "Boom Boom Boom" going up the stairs, and at the same time, the boss's enthusiastic "Come on" was heard.

   Xiaolan slipped out the door quietly, looked around and found that no one was there, and looked for the direction where the sound had just come from.

  Turning around, there are still no stairs. Xiaolan can't figure out why her basement is so complicated. After walking along this wall, it turns around again, and the small stairs leading to the first floor finally appeared in front of her.

   Xiaolan crept and probed his head, walking one by one, looking back from time to time to see if the proprietress suddenly appeared.

  I can see the situation of the restaurant on the first floor. Xiaolan leaned down and slowly raised his head. The dining table of his comrades was too close to the stairs, so he was afraid that someone would be caught by accident.

   Xiaolan saw the top of everyone's heads, and everyone stood up. First, they saw the tallest Taoist leader and the little idiot. The two of them also caught a glimpse of Xiaolan, but the surface was completely silent.

  The back of the boss's bald head also appeared, Xiaolan shrank subconsciously, and found that the boss was completely back to him, and then quickly poked out the whole head, and looked around. There were no other guests besides them.

It's now!

Xiaolan crawled out of the basement with hands and feet together, stood on tiptoe, and rushed to the unattended back door. Behind him was the little idiot who said loudly, "Boss, you can't afford a few dollars." The back door was wide open, and Xiaolan drilled like lightning. I went out and ran away along the plank road.

  The back door leads to the back mountain, Xiaolan ran to the end of the plank road in one breath, only to think of a way to go back.

  It was too suspicious to appear from the back door. Xiaolan turned down the plank road and decided to go back to the front door from the mountain road. On the road, he pulled out a small bamboo shoot that was just in his early years and prepared to use it as an excuse to come out and play for so long.

  Almost to the door, Xiaolan smiled brilliantly at the front desk sister, who asked a little surprised "When did you go out?"

   Xiaolan pretended to be surprised, and calmly answered "Just now", and happily walked towards the people who hadn't finished talking with the bamboo shoots.

   "Look, our little girl is back after going to the toilet!"

   Xiaoyin spotted her first, pointed to Xiaolan and said to the skeptical boss.

  Speaking too early, when several people found the bamboo shoots in Xiaolan's hand, they all felt a little embarrassed.

  "Didn't you go to the toilet, where did the bamboo shoots come from?"

  The little idiot asked knowingly, and stared at Xiaolan with a smile.

  The boss is also a bit blinded, but it is obvious that the whole person is relieved.

"Hahaha I asked them where you went, and said you went out to look for the toilet. I said the toilet is in the house or you go out looking for it. They said you don't like to go to the bathroom in the house... Little girl, go to the mountain to go to the bathroom hahahaha ?"

   Xiaolan looked at them bitterly.

  How can this group of people...bad my reputation!

"Oh, these bamboo shoots are so fresh!" Xiaoyin shuddered with a smile, and looked at the boss with a trembling mouth. "The boss has fired for us at noon. This is what Xiaolan did so hard to pull. It is too commemorative. !"

  The boss laughed out and took a look at Xiaolan’s bamboo shoots.

   "It's really good, kid where did you pull it out hahaha!"

  I’m so angry, but I can’t...

   "In the back mountain." Xiaolan grieved Baba, and went on acting according to her script, "It took a long time to find one."

   "I want to dig bamboo shoots and call us in the future," the Taoist chief walked over and gently touched Xiaolan's head, "What should I do if I go up the mountain and get lost? Don't use the toilet as an excuse. We are not going to play with you."

  Xiaolan nodded, ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

  The boss seemed to be in a much better mood, and he left a sentence "Come over and eat bamboo shoots at noon", and grabbed Xiaolan's bamboo shoots and went downstairs.

  Everyone was silent for a moment, and the leader patted Xiaolan on the shoulder.

"go."

   Xiaolan understood in seconds, and ran back to the hotel room with everyone. The grievance disappeared, and now I only have the task I just performed.

  ——————————

  Xiaolan held a large glass of water and drank fiercely. After a long and trembling wait and sending messages non-stop, she felt that she was going to evaporate.

  Can't stand the pineapple anymore, sit next to Xiaolan, "Drink slowly, don't choke."

   nodded, and continued to drink.

"The biggest question now is who is the girl who was burned to death?" The Taoist face became serious, and the corners of his mouth were drooping when he was not smiling. "Will it be the master of the'world' here, two villagers? Is there any relationship between her death and her? This is the focus of our investigation."

   Xiaolan put down the water cup, ready to throw out all the unfinished messages.

"There are a few more things," Xiaolan wiped her mouth. "While I was hiding under the table, the boss answered the phone. On the other end of the phone, a guy named Ma seemed to be asking the boss for money. Enthusiastic and attentive."

   "Xiao Lan," the little idiot put his hand on her shoulder earnestly, "Let's stop discussing other people's private affairs. Life is already very difficult."

  Xiaolan didn't quite understand, so she put it aside first, preparing to tell everyone about her major discoveries.

   "There is a small space under the table where I hide. It can almost fill people who are bigger than me. There is a curtain outside the table. I found that the wall next to that table is very strange..."

After   , Xiaolan explained to everyone the strangeness of the small wall with vivid language and body movements, and everyone frowned again.

"The difference in that color is like that the paint in the two areas was not painted at the same time," Maple Sugar woke up at some point, pondered for a while, and asked Xiang Xiaolan, "Is it that kind, part of it? New, part of the old feeling."

what!

   Xiaolan grew her mouth and nodded quickly.

  Maple syrup broke the feeling entangled in Xiaolan's heart, the clear boundary, the slight bumpy feeling.

  Combining the strange dialogue between the boss and the boss’s wife.

  Everyone's eyes are stunned.

  The owner’s family has secrets, and this hotel has secrets.
