Twenty-first day 2 stormy weather

  Great love, little love, which one is true and which one is false?

  To avoid confusing myself, I refer to the slightly abnormal one in front of me as Xiao Ai, and the other one as Da Ai.

  But who is really in love, I really don't know.

  Maybe they're all sane, and I'm the crazy one?

  Am I crazy?

  Is all of this just something I imagined?

  I suddenly took a step forward and grabbed Xiao Ai's arm, Xiao Ai let out an "ah" and struggled to say, it hurts, it hurts.

  I hastily let go of her hand, this feeling is real, I have very little experience with women, if it were a madman's self-imagination, it wouldn't necessarily be so warm and soft.

  But it's hard to say, Xiaoyi seems to have been scared by me just now. She said, "What's wrong with you? What did you think of?"

  I shook my head and said, nothing, nothing. After all, does Xia Ai have any marks? I haven't seen Xia Ai for so many years, how do I know which one is or isn't?

  Xiao Ai tilted her head and thought for a moment, then suddenly laughed and said, "It's no use telling you anyway."

  I said, what's wrong with it? It's not safe for you to go out now either. I'm worried about Xia Ai and want to go find her, can you describe it to me?

  Xiao Ai said she looks very similar to me, and people often say we look like twins.

  I'm saying, I know, I know you guys look alike, but what I mean is that there's something about Xiao Ai that makes her instantly recognizable to me.

  Xiao Ai's face turned red as she smiled and said, "I've already told you, but it doesn't matter if I say it out loud."

  I'm now in a state of desperation, hastily saying, tell me, tell me, I'll go out and take a look right away.

  Xiao Ai said that on Xiao Ai's butt, there is a birthmark that looks like a red butterfly, or maybe... it looks like a woman wearing a red dress dancing gracefully.

  I was taken aback and almost subconsciously asked, "Do you mind taking off your pants so I can take a look?"

  Xiao Ai let out a soft cry, came forward and pushed me gently, her face as red as the lanterns hung during the Lantern Festival. She said, "You go out, you go out."

  I wanted to explain, but Xiaoyi seemed unwilling to listen, constantly pushing me. I backed out of the room and Xiaoyi was about to close the door when I hastily inserted my hand into the gap and said to her, "Wait, wait, just one sentence."

  Xiao Ai's face turned red as she said, "You're just a rascal, what are you talking about? What's the use of apologizing?"

  I'm saying no, it's not, it's very crucial, I just want to say one sentence.

  Xiao Ai said, "Go on, I'm listening."

  I said, take off your pants and see if it works in a bit? Please...

  The door slammed shut just a few millimeters from my nose.

  I stood at the door and sighed, God knows how such words came out of my mouth, but now I'm too eager to know which one is Da Ai, which one is Xiao Ai, and which one of them has gone crazy.

  A sarcastic voice came from behind her, saying, "Someone got a nose full of ash, and that someone is you."

  I turned around and saw Feng Yue, holding an ice cream in her hand, she raised it and said, no need to give you some now, I guess your heart is quite cool now.

  I forced a smile and didn't respond, turned around and went back to the room. I opened the door to find that Da Ai had already left. As I turned to close the door, Feng Yue suddenly slid over and smiled at me.

  I said, what's so exciting?

  It's nothing exciting, but can't be gloomy either.

  I said, what about your classmates... how are they doing?

  Fengyue said, I know you want to bring up the matter of Da Peng's death. To be honest, they are all quite familiar with each other, and I'm just a newcomer to their circle, without any emotional connection with anyone.

  I said, I feel like those guys all have feelings for you.

  Fengyue smiled and said, "You're jealous."

  I suddenly felt like I had gone mad, I must have gone mad. Normally, I'm absolutely not popular with women, how did I end up in this ancient village and yet somehow have a romantic encounter?

  Fengyue said that they all met through competitions, and sports students love to travel, so they formed a donkey friend group. I'm not my brother's substitute, I just followed him to have some fun. As a result, my brother didn't come again, it's really boring.

  I said, let's go out and find a nice place with beautiful scenery, what's the point of playing in such a poor and ugly place?

  Fengyue said, you don't understand, this is called stimulation. Tourism is also divided into two types, one is called vacation and the other is adventure. What we're playing with is heart-pounding excitement. We said, anyway, we can't leave, so why not go out again tonight and take a look around to see if there are any other paranormal events? In the future, it will be considered news, and who knows, maybe I'll even appear on TV. Mango Channel, you know what that is, right? Maybe I'll even get to meet my idol He Jiong!

  I said, I'm getting old and can't keep up with your antics, my heart can't take it. Besides, how can He Jiong be considered your brother? I think he's more like your uncle or something.

  Fengyue said that she can't help but like older men, mature ones. Those young boys don't understand anything, they see women and their eyes go wide with excitement, it's boring.

  I was going to go out and find Da Ai to ask clearly, this time if it's not clear, I'll put the two of them together for a face-to-face confrontation, so I don't want to bicker with Feng Yue here.

  I said I still have something to do, otherwise you play for a while?

  Fengyue said, "Hmph, just tell me to leave directly. This room doesn't even have a woman, do you need to drive me away? If I could talk to those people, I wouldn't come find you. It's suffocating, there's not even anyone to talk to."

  I said, aren't they all your friends? How come you can't get along with them?

  The wind and moon say that men basically nod and agree with whatever I say, but those girls initially looked at me like an enemy, now they're a bit better. However, with such a big thing happening in Siyao's family, they all revolve around her and don't have the mood to talk to me. Alas, can't leave yet, it's really annoying.

  I said, otherwise you go talk to those two policemen.

  The wind and moon poked out their tongues and said, am I going to throw myself into the net or what? Besides, look at those two being so intimate, it's not like there's any basis for a romance, I'd better keep my distance.

  I felt a bit helpless and didn't want to drive her away anymore. On the contrary, Fengyue's eyes lit up as she looked at the bed and said, "Is this the skirt from that day?"

  I turned around and saw that red skirt neatly laid out on my bed.

  This skirt was given to Officer Han yesterday, but the result was that he found me playing cards early in the morning and returned it, saying that he had a nightmare last night, put it somewhere where he was afraid, didn't care if I agreed or not, directly threw it at me, also said can't burn, key physical evidence.

  I've never seen a cop act so shamelessly, even more shameless than the real deal. Can't do anything about it, just threw it to one side and now it's neatly stacked up, probably done by some kind soul.

  Fengyue walked over, picked it up and put it on herself, then turned around and asked me, "Does it look good?"

  I said, put it down, it's unlucky.

  Fengyue said, "This is wedding attire, not something for the dead to wear. What's unlucky about it? You're still neatly laying it out on the bed. How about this: I'll go change into it and show you, okay?"

  I shook my head and said I wouldn't look, I advise you to put it down, it's really not that I'm being petty, I just feel it's unlucky.

  Fengyue said, you're so petty. Look at the workmanship, it's really beautiful! I've never seen such a good red skirt before. In the past, I always thought that red was too eye-catching and too tacky, but now looking at it, it's really beautiful! If you have something to do, go ahead and attend to it, can I borrow this skirt to play with?

  I have no experience with women and didn't expect them to react this way when they see beautiful clothes, I'm still thinking about the big love thing, and I don't have the heart to flirt with her.

  I nodded and said, just take a look, don't wear it, really, I have a bad feeling.

  Fengyue walked out with a pleased smile, and at the door, she turned back to me and said with a smile, "I'm leaving, you little rascal."

  I saw Fengyue off, then picked up my things and ran downstairs to the front desk where I found Ma Tiancheng chatting with the little person. I exchanged a greeting with Ma Tiancheng.

  I asked, which room is the woman who just moved in yesterday or today?

  Who is the woman?

  I'm talking about the one who dresses very professionally, around my age, not part of this group of students.

  The dwarf let out a loud "hmmph" and said, "What's your relationship with me? Now there are two police officers here, I advise you not to have any bad ideas."

  I said, am I a bad person? She's my friend, I have something to ask her.

  Dwarf said, why didn't your friend tell you the room number?

  I really had the urge to jump in and step directly on his face, I accompanied a smile and said, just spoke, didn't come in time, really, you see me as a bad person? Right or not.

  The dwarf said, no one will write two words "bad guy" on his face.

  Before he finished speaking, Ma Tiancheng suddenly took out the notebook and handed it to me, saying, "It's not a big deal, I think you're not a bad guy, very cultured. Look for yourself, no one has come recently, probably the last one."

  The dwarf looked at me with a glance, walked out without paying attention to me, stood at the door and looked up at the sky, turned his head and said, "Those who want to go out should hurry up, it's going to change the weather, if you're late, you won't be able to come back."

  I took a glance at the dwarf's back, with his hands behind him, looking mysterious and unpredictable.

  The devil knows whether he meant what he said or had an ulterior motive.

  But when I saw that name, my heart was already too preoccupied to consider the dwarf's thoughts.

  Above it was written in bold letters: Ai Feng, 221.

  This small inn is in a very old wooden structure, after my exploration over the past few days, the second floor has guest rooms, and the first floor has a hall and kitchen. There aren't many rooms, about twenty or so, and the room numbers are not consecutive, with several numbers missing. The third floor also exists, but the stairs have already broken off, looking like no one has gone up there for many years. I once heard faint footsteps upstairs at night, seemingly many mice running around up there.

  Room 221 is already very deep inside, I went up from the stairs and tiptoed past Xiaoi's room.

  It was just like a thief, I came to the door of 221, although I didn't know whether the person inside was Big Love or Little Love, but the name is just a symbol, so let's call her Big Love for now, after all, a white-collar worker looks more normal than a ghost bride.

  I walked over and knocked softly on the door, but no one answered.

  I increased my strength, but still no one opened the door.

  Isn't great love in the room?

  I'm a bit at a loss, I don't know what to do next. This vast wilderness, where could the great love be at this moment if it's not in the room? Has it entered the village?

  My heart skipped a beat as I hastily went downstairs, walked out the door, and saw a dark sky at the horizon with black clouds rolling in at a visible speed.
