Xiaodou, who came downstairs, didn't know where to wash? He looked around and wanted to find a waiter to ask, but strangely, there was not even a waiter in the hall in the morning, so it was better to be lively in the middle of the night.

Since last night, Xiaodou felt that Uncle Li had not told them the truth. Uncle Li said that there would be many customers in the past two days, so there was no boat to take them off the artificial island. However, after Xiaodou arrived at the artificial island, except for Uncle Li and Aunt Ye, there were only those busy workers and waiters, and even a customer had not met.

‘Maybe everyone is still sleeping!’ Xiaodou thought in his mind and continued to walk towards the hotel gate. The hotel gate was facing west, which means that he was facing away from the counter and kitchen in the east. At this moment, Uncle Li walked out of the kitchen. He saw Xiaodou wandering in the hall and immediately understood what he was looking for.

"Xiaodou, come with me, the bathroom used for washing is inside."

"Hey! The design is really unique at the corner of the counter. Uncle Li and the waiter went?"

"They are all preparing the ingredients for the day in the kitchen. All the ingredients here are prepared in the morning. In addition to the food, they also provide excellent Tianyoude barley wine every day. You must try it." Uncle Li said, putting his body aside and letting Xiaodou enter the narrow aisle. From Xiaodou's direction, you can see that he walked to the end was blocked by a screen.

Xiaodou asked: "Uncle Li, what is behind the screen?"

"Oh, it's the bathroom. Turn left in front of the screen. The door you can see enters the kitchen. Now all the waiters are gathering there."

Uncle Li accompanied Xiaodou back and said, "In the morning, except for working in the kitchen, the rest is to clean, repair and maintain houses and boats. Most men will work near the dock, while the women will work around the hotel, mainly serving guests."

While they were talking, the two of them had already walked to the door of the kitchen. Xiaodou seemed to be a little irritating to the kitchen and bathroom together, but it was difficult to speak easily, so he stayed in front of the screen and sniffed hard. The air was filled with a smell of fish and the fragrance of wine. There was no smell of the odor in the bathroom. Only then did Xiaodou show a relaxed expression.

Uncle Li explained: "There is incense in the bathroom, and the bathroom windows face the lake, so you can't smell the odor. The reason we put the kitchen and the bathroom together is because of the structural limitations of the artificial island, so we had to arrange it like this. But you can rest assured that the inside is absolutely clean."

Xiaodou looked at the screen between the bathroom and the kitchen. As expected, as Uncle Li said, the above layer was untainted and there was no disgusting feeling at all. Some of the door frames leaked out of the bathroom were also wiped cleanly in the cracks of the wood.

Xiaodou asked: "How should we deal with the waste generated in the kitchen and bathroom?"

"This is simple. There are pipes under the bathroom, which lead to the bottom of the lake. There are specially made waste storage boxes at the bottom of the lake base. They are fully enclosed and the odor will not spread to the top. Every month, we will have special divers to clean them down. As for the kitchen, the cleaned animal offal and fish, shrimps and crab shells will be thrown into the lake to feed fish. We will pack and transport other garbage away in a small boat."

"You are so thoughtful." Xiaodou praised, Uncle Li reached out to help him move the screen a little bit, and said to him: "There are large tanks for water in the kitchen and bathroom, and tap water cannot be installed here, so the domestic water we use, except for drinking water, is obtained by filtering the lake water by ourselves. Drinking water is a barrel water transported from outside, so you can use it with confidence."

"I understand, thank you, Uncle Li."

The two of them entered the bathroom and kitchen separately, and the tranquility at the bottom of the aisle instantly returned to peace. Xiaodou and Uncle Li talked for so long, but the kitchen was very strange and there was no sound. Xiaodou might have wanted to finish washing up quickly and go upstairs to see Yueyue's situation, so he didn't care about the movement in the kitchen.

After Xiaodou left, Uncle Li walked into the kitchen door. As soon as he entered, he closed the door that was originally hidden and locked it from inside, as if he was afraid that Xiaodou would suddenly break into the kitchen.

2011

The first night of Yun Yeyao has not passed, and it is 10:50 pm. On the built stage, the singing and dancing performance is in full swing, with noisy sounds, which is completely incomparable to the outdoor performances Yun Yeyao had seen before.

But it is no wonder that Yun Yeyao used to watch square dance performances or casual small performances. He often went to watch large-scale stage plays and dramas, especially outdoor stage plays, which was his hobby. So now, under the poison of noisy singing and dancing, Yun Yeyao covered his ears with his hands tightly and drilled his head in Xie Yunmeng's arms, as if he was a hamster digging a hole in the field.

He is 1.8 meters tall and has always maintained a pretty good figure. Now he curled up. Although it doesn't affect much beauty, the two of them are so tired of being together, and they are always very embarrassed in the eyes of the people around him. Xie Yunmeng gently pushed Yun Yeyao's body and said, "Xiaoyao, sit down first, I'll help you find something to block your ears. You are very rude to the performers when watching the performance like this."

After coaxing for a long time, Yun Yeyao finally poked his head out of Xie Yunmeng's arms. He said, "I also know that it's very impolite, that's just that I can't stand such loud music."

While Yun Yeyao raised his head, a pair of rough hands reached out from the side, and two small white cotton balls were lying in his palm. Xie Yunmeng turned around and found that Kang Chen was standing beside them at some point, and Kang Chen had a smile on his dirty face.

He said in a loud voice: "For it, the sound of the performance at night is really loud. It's not that Mr. Yun feels uncomfortable, but we are, so we often bring this thing when watching the performance, which is very useful."

After saying that, Kang Chen picked up a cotton ball with his right hand and stuffed it into Yun Yeyao's ear. When his hand left, he seemed to unconsciously pass by Yun Yeyao's face. Xie Yunmeng noticed this action in an instant, and his eyes immediately became alert. The criminal policeman glanced over Kang Chen's gaze and found that he was staring at Yun Yeyao in a straight line.

Xie Yunmeng quickly took the remaining cotton ball from his other hand, and held Yun Yeyao's arm on his waist and tightened a little force, saying to Kang Chen: "Thank you, please help me get a bunch of cotton balls."

"No problem, wait a moment." Kang Chen finished speaking, turned around and ran to the edge of the stage. A few women gathered together and whispered, holding bamboo baskets in their hands. Kang Chen ran towards them, and the cotton ball should be in the basket.

After Kang Chen left, Xie Yunmeng took out the cotton ball that had just stuffed into Yun Yeyao's ears, then pinched it a few times, and stuffed it back. Yun Yeyao asked curiously: "What are you doing?"

But Xie Yunmeng glared at him for no reason, without explaining, but said in a commanding tone: "Don't move!" It was obvious that he seemed in a bad mood.

Yun Yeyao didn't care about this. The noise in the void made him lose interest. After Xie Yunmeng helped him block his ears tightly, his mind became a little clearer. While sitting down, Yun Yeyao asked, "Xiao Meng, why haven't Kang Chen brought the cotton balls for you yet?"

"I don't know!" Xie Yunmeng replied loudly: "You don't want to be like this outside in the future. If you have any questions, do you understand?"

His words immediately made Yun Yeyao think that it was because he made Xiao Meng disgusted it because he made Xiao Meng feel angry. In order to relieve the awkward atmosphere, the actor looked around and looked around and said, "Xiao Meng, there are quite a lot of people here, including workers and guests, there are probably 20 or 30 people."

"I think these 20-30 people look like residents living on Bifang Island, not like guests," said Xie Yunmeng. "Uncle Li didn't say there are new guests here either."

"No, Xiao Meng, have you forgotten? Uncle Li just said that there were guests in the last two rooms on the hotel, so you told me this!"

"I know, but before I left the hotel, I knocked on the doors of the two guests, and no one responded to it."

Yun Yeyao said: "Maybe they are asleep and don't want to be disturbed? Or maybe they have gone out early. You can't conclude that there is no one in the guest room, right? Besides, there is nothing to do with us when there are a few customers staying in the hotel, so there is no need for Uncle Li to lie."

"But I always find it very strange," Xie Yunmeng blocked his ears with his index fingers and said, "Realistically speaking, at that time just now, it would not be so early to sleep, and you should be able to meet here if you go out, but I have been observing for a long time but haven't seen anyone who looks like a guest."

"You are stupid! Can the hotel guests still see it?"

"Of course, you see the people who helped the work here. The one who just built the stage must be dirty. Before we could change our clothes, there were only a few waiters, including Aunt Ye. We have seen the remaining workers. It is easy to distinguish the remaining workers. Because the people here live on the lake, they will inevitably have a fishy smell on their bodies. The residents here definitely do not have this smell. If you don't believe it, do you smell your clothes and hair? "

"What you said makes sense, but this kind of thing has nothing to do with us. Xiao Meng, you don't want it..."

Yun Yeyao thought, Xiao Meng, you shouldn't be so serious. But before he finished speaking, Lao Nuo's voice came from the side. He said: "Officer Xie is worthy of being a criminal policeman. He just needs to be careful when looking at the problem. Those two guests are now on the stage and are part of the performers."

"Really?" Yun Yeyao was a little surprised.

Xie Yunmeng asked with the opportunity: "Uncle Li, there is another thing that I find strange. There are only six rooms in your hotel. I roughly observed the surrounding area, and there is no other place to live. Where do so many workers and waiters live? They can't spend four or five hours a day between the lakeshore and Bifang Island."

"That's because they need to rebuild the house every day." Lao Nuo moved a square stool, sat next to them, and said pretending to be mysterious.

This time, Yun Yeyao's interest became even stronger. He asked anxiously: "Why do you need to rebuild your house every day? Tell me about it."

Lao Nuo cleared his throat. It was inconvenient to speak here, and he needed to use a lot of volume. He stretched his head to approach Yun Yeyao and Xie Yunmeng's ears and continued, "It's because the stage is their housing, but this housing needs to be dismantled and assembled every day to change its appearance. Except for hotels, the houses here are all mobile houses. After dinner every day, the workers will transform their residence into a stage for performance."
