Myth resurrection, I became the villain boss

Chapter 219

Chapter 219

Inside the hotel, the proprietress is sitting by the gazebo in the yard.

Feng Mian and Jiang Tang sat on the chairs opposite her.

"Repeat what you said just now." The proprietress thought for a while, "I don't know much about the dialect in the southern region. You just said what that man said."

Feng Mian repeated what he said just now with a slower speaking speed.

The proprietress rubbed her chin in thought, recalling the dialect she had learned before: "Hmm...the last sentence should mean closing the door. It probably reminds the owner that it's time to close."

"Many shops in Fengdu do have this tradition. They usually close at dawn. After all, the days here are very short, so many shops take advantage of the daytime to rest."

She thought hard for a long time: "I don't seem to have heard the previous sentence. It feels like a very uncommon word. Wait a moment, I remember that I have a book that memorizes uncommon words."

"Ok."

After finishing speaking, the proprietress stood up, walked around the corridor and returned to the room. After a while, she came out with a book.

She spread the book on the stone table in front of her: "Hmm...let me look for it. The pronunciation should be on this page. I found it! Here, it means..."

She raised her head in surprise: "It means 'ghost'... This is a name in a fairy tale, and it is rarely mentioned by anyone, so it is very uncommon."

Hag?

Feng Mian asked: "What kind of legend is this? Could you please tell us this story?"

The business of the hotel was very small, and the proprietress spent most of her free time, plus she had a good impression of the two guests, so naturally she would not refuse.

The proprietress pointed to the book: "This is a legend about an old lady."

"It is said that the ghost woman is an old woman in a restaurant. If someone enters her restaurant, the ghost woman will kill that person and make food for her."

Feng Mian immediately thought of the eyeballs he saw in that shop before, the eyeballs of the person who sank in the clear soup and rolled out of the pile of food.

There was a trace of doubt on the face of the proprietress: "This story is just a myth and legend. In our generation, no one will scare children with this story."

"Is that boss really a hag?"

The proprietress seemed to be amused by what she said just now: "Just kidding, how could there be a hag, although these years have become more and more uneven, but how can such a myth be taken seriously."

"And aren't there other customers there? Maybe they are regular customers, so maybe they don't want to meet strangers." The proprietress nodded as she spoke, as if she felt that her idea was more likely.

Feng Mian looked at the book in front of her. The proprietress didn't know that she saw Tang Li's eyeballs, so she naturally wouldn't believe that the old woman was the legendary cannibal ghost.

Only he and Jiangtang knew that they had indeed entered a shop that ate people by mistake.

And those few other guests may not be as simple as ordinary diners, they are probably in the same group as the hag, they are of the same kind.

The proprietress closed the book and handed it to Feng Mian: "I see that you are very interested in the affairs of the southern border. In addition to some uncommon dialects, there are also some legends and stories about the southern border in this book. I will give it to you to relieve your boredom."

Feng Mian took the book: "Thank you lady boss, by the way, have you encountered any trouble recently? If you need our help, you can tell us."

Ginger Tang also nodded: "Yes."

There are not many people in this hotel, except for the proprietress, there seems to be only the young waiter girl left. Although there are no customers here, it really doesn't need manpower.

But the proprietress's face was full of exhaustion, and she hadn't rested for a long time.

Since I and Jiang Tang arrived in Fengdu, I stayed in this hotel temporarily. The proprietress is very nice and helped them solve a lot of confusion. They will give them the usual sake and some fruit snacks.

If there is any need for help, they are of course willing to reciprocate.

The proprietress just shook her head, with a bitter smile on her lips: "I don't have any troubles, and I don't need any manpower. As you can see, there are basically no customers in my shop."

"Most people in Fengdu have their own bases. Have you seen many hotels along the road? Basically, they are bases set up by those people in Fengdu."

She sighed: "My husband left me this store. When he was still there, he also had contacts with some customers. At that time, the business was pretty good."

"But he passed away a few years ago, and I didn't have the mood to deal with it, and then the business in the store gradually deteriorated day by day."

The proprietress raised her head and smiled at them: "But there's nothing wrong with it. At least it's very relaxing. You just need to clean up and there's nothing else to do."

"And don't look at the poor business here. My husband left enough money for our mother and daughter before he died, so I just need to continue to take care of my daughter leisurely."

Jiang Tang looked at the proprietress with some sympathy: "Your husband must love you very much."

"Yes." The proprietress's face showed nostalgia, "When I first came to Fengdu, he was the first person who helped me, and then we were together."

"We have always lived a normal and happy life. Later, we had a daughter. As a result, he became seriously ill a few years ago and then passed away."

The proprietress's gentle face showed a sad look, coupled with her tiredness these days, her face that was still young showed a hint of oldness.

Feng Mian looked at the dark circles under her eyes: "But when we passed by the front desk unintentionally, I heard that you haven't rested for a long time. Why don't you sleep when you have plenty of time?"

The proprietress was stunned for a moment, a little confused: "Actually...it's not that I can't sleep...I didn't intend to tell anyone about this, not even Juli."

Tachibana is the young waiter she hired.

"Because whenever I fall asleep during this time..." The proprietress seemed a little embarrassed, "I would dream of a man."

Jiangtang asked: "Did you dream about your husband?"

The proprietress shook her head, her face full of sadness: "If this is the case, then I will definitely want to sleep all the time."

"Uh... sorry for the slip of the tongue just now." The proprietress blushed a little, "I mean, if it was my husband in the dream, I wouldn't have to worry so much, and I would be very happy to meet him in the dream. "

"But it's a pity that I never dreamed of him. Maybe he didn't want to disturb my life with my daughter. I hope we can forget about him and continue to live a good life."

She rubbed her eyes: "I dreamed about a man I didn't know. I haven't met other men in these years, and I haven't thought about remarrying or anything."

"I only have my husband in my heart, but recently I always dream of a man whose face can't be seen clearly... I always feel that I am sorry for my husband."
