Heal the King

At five o'clock, the sound of getting up one after another could be heard in the hall outside. Xu Yiqing was a light sleeper, so she got up immediately when she heard it.Gao Gao and Chen Qi knocked on the door: "Are you up, Mr. Bai? Teacher Xu?"

"Get up." Xu Yiqing patted the bed.

"Yeah." Gao Gao said, "Then I'll come in."

None of the make-up artists accompanying him had a decent make-up table, so Xu Yiqing put a small mirror bought at a two-dollar store in front of him, and the make-up artist didn't put any foundation on him, but just sprayed moisturizing cream on his face and trimmed his eyebrows model, then used a scrub to buff away the dead skin on his mouth so he wouldn't look too gaunt in front of the camera.

"Ms. Xu, is there any difference between plain makeup and no makeup?" Gao Gao said beside him.

"There's no difference." The makeup artist wore a mask, thinned the hair on his forehead, and styled it a little, "It's just that you need to sleep well recently, I changed several kinds of concealers to cover your dark circles. "

"Sorry." Xu Yiqing smiled.

Bai Fan came in from the outside and walked to Xu Yiqing's side: "The director said that your procedure today is very simple, mainly as a host introduction. Introduce the customs and natural scenery here, and then there will be local food and life..."

"Where's the introduction...?" Xu Yiqing asked.

"There is an inscription board." Bai Fan said, "Someone is holding it up for you."

Xu Yiqing nodded, and said, "I still want to take a look, I'm a bit worried."

"Ms. Xu, close your eyes." The makeup artist said.

Xu Yiqing closed her eyes obediently, and said, "Read it to me."

"Read." Bai Fan threw the script to Gao Gao, "Read it aloud to you, Teacher Xu."

He read high, Xu Yiqing listened, he waited until he finished thinking about it, but found that he didn't remember much: "...how many meters high."

"The altitude is more than 4000 meters." Gao Gao said.

"Wild Mushroom Fungus..." Xu Yiqing opened his eyes, "I can't remember."

"There is an inscription board." Gao Gao said.

Xu Yiqing held it and read it again, feeling that his attention was always inexplicably absent. In the past, Mr. Xu, who used to memorize ten lines at a glance and memorize scripts in seconds, seemed to be unable to do so now.

He used to habitually understand and memorize it in his heart first, even if there is an inscription board, because he wants to integrate himself into it as much as possible, and don't let himself be too dramatic.

While thinking that I should understand the script with the director earlier, I also want to quickly write down what I should remember.After hastily eating two bites of breakfast, Xu Yiqing followed the film crew's car and prepared to go into the mountain.

It was dawn, and the film crew already had troops to go to the mountains to take pictures. To shoot a ten-second sunrise scene, everyone might have to trek for an hour or two together.

In the misty mountains in the morning, on the dew-drenched stone road, Xu Yiqing climbed for a while, his forehead was sweating in the winter, he held his head up and panted slightly, walking and walking, recording while walking, he was in good condition in the morning From sunrise to sunset, Xu Yiqing took off two layers of clothes and only wore a thin long sleeve.

The sun was shining directly on their faces, and the altitude of more than 3000 meters made the body feel uncomfortable. Finally, after finishing the recording of the morning part, they went to the village they passed.

The film crew who had previously photographed the sunrise had arrived at the village, where they were laying out lamps and equipment, and took a lunch break by the way.The villagers prepared meals for them, and when they entered the village, they could smell the delicious food and firewood.

"There's still a while." Bai Fan was drinking water, and also a little uncomfortable because of the altitude, frowned and asked Xu Yiqing: "Can I find you a place to rest for a while, your lips are a little white."

"I want to go for a walk." Xu Yiqing also took a sip of water, folded his fingers together and drooped twice, "Turn around this small village."

"Do you want to follow you high?" Bai Fan asked.

"No...there's no film crew here, are you afraid that I'll get lost?" Xu Yiqing put the water bottle down, "Shout when the meal is ready, the head of the village can hear me at the end of the village."

In fact, I just followed the film crew, and I can roughly see the landform here. It is located in the land of abundance, the sunshine is abundant here, and the blue sky and white clouds are quite comfortable to look at. However, because of its isolation from the world, it seems to have a sense of distance from modern society.

Xu Yiqing took out his mobile phone by himself, and he was able to take a few photos, all of which were very beautiful.The blue sky and white clouds, the villages with white walls, and the cascading mountains in the distance can be photographed, and occasionally colorful prayer flags can be seen fluttering.The Internet was up and down, Xu Yiqing sent it to Tao Han after shooting, but he couldn't send the two photos with red arrows, so he could only try to continue sending.

Stopping and walking, Xu Yiqing saw a small door.

Looking inside, it didn't look like a private house, he was the first to be blocked by a big tree.

Xu Yiqing paused, and stepped into the wooden gate.

When he came, he noticed that wherever there were people here, there seemed to be more or less religious traces.Tibetan Buddhism may be advocated here, which is completely different from their feeling, and the sense of religion is also stronger.

But this small courtyard is really strange.The architectural style is not like here, but more like the Huizhou architecture in their Jiangnan area.Because of the seclusion in this village, I didn't feel too out of place.

But Xu Yiqing felt a little guilty when he stepped in alone. There were many red ribbons hanging on the towering ancient tree in front of him.

This scene has been seen a lot in many TV dramas and movies, and of course it is accompanied by rumors of ancient temples being haunted... Mainly because it really happened in real life, or in the deep mountains and old forests, such an incompatible scene.

Xu Yiqing walked to the gate of the temple, and when he entered, he saw a faded Buddha statue, as if it had gone through vicissitudes.Even so, the red candle on the candlestick in front of him was still extinguished, and oil wax dripped all over the table.

Such a small dilapidated temple, unexpectedly burning incense continuously.

Xu Yiqing wanted to go out and call the film crew to take a look. This must have been an adventure.But then I thought about it, there is a god standing three feet above the head, maybe the Buddha here listens to fewer wishes and is easier to fulfill?

He patted the faded futon in front of him and knelt down.He hoped that the Buddha would listen to his wish, and then he would work hard to realize it by himself.

"What do you wish for?" Xu Yiqing looked up, clasped his hands together, "I hope that Tao Han and I will live a long life and be together forever."

He paused, and then said to himself: "I can only make one wish, right? Then you can choose any one to make it come true."

He got up and put incense money on the table, turned around and went out, and sat on the steps in front of the ruined temple.From this angle, he could see the old tree and the faded red ribbon hanging from it. He still couldn't figure it out, is this temple still a temple for marriage?

It doesn't matter if you can't figure it out or think about it.The important thing is that the scenery is beautiful at this moment, if only Tao Han was by his side.

Sure enough, no matter whether it is Shanhe or Qiyu, the desire to share with him has never changed.

……

Originally, I wanted to ask the local people for information about the ruined temple during the meal, but Xu Yiqing couldn't understand a word of the local people's words, and Xu Yiqing gave up because he relied on the communication of ideas.

"I just saw a temple over there." Xu Yiqing and the director pointed, "Do you want to go and see it?"

"We have seen it before." The director said, "Although it feels very special, it is not suitable for our film. We also shot a lot of Tibetan temples along the way. I guess it was cut out after filming, so I took some random material. .Why do you want to take a picture of something?"

"No..." Xu Yiqing shook his head, "Then let's not go."

It's not anything particularly persistent.

After eating and preparing to take a rest for a while, Xu Yiqing was reading with a notebook. The sun was so high at noon that he almost wanted to take off his clothes, so he could only use the notebook to fan the wind while walking.

Sitting in the shadow of a family tree was a child, black and thin, he looked like a local.

Seeing what was being carved in his hand, Xu Yiqing couldn't help leaning over to take a look.

The child raised his eyes to look at him, his eyes were moist and big, looking very cute.Xu Yiqing's heart softened, and he took out a chocolate candy from his pocket for fear of hypoglycemia, squatted on the ground and put it in the palm of his hand.

"Hello." Xu Yiqing said softly, "I'll give it to you."

The child replied thank you in broken Mandarin, stretched out his hand to grab the candy, and was not in a hurry to eat it, just held it in his hand.

Xu Yiqing looked down at his hand, which was a Buddha statue that was already being carved in detail.Although rough, but inexplicably smart.

"You carved it?" Xu Yiqing asked.

The child nodded and said some vague words. Xu Yiqing listened carefully. After listening to it a few times, he probably knew some words like "grandpa".

Anyway, I didn’t understand it, but Xu Tianwang liked it again, so he chatted awkwardly with the child: “How long have you been engraving it? Did you do it yourself? How did you make it so round here?”

The child patted his leg, then stood up, and he ran into the room to show Xu Yiqing the tools.Xu Yiqing saw his expressionless face, but could feel his happiness from these jumping movements.

He squatted on the ground, watching him holding the knife, cutting and carving with the knife, his fingers turning, and watching him more vigorously.Unaware that the filming team behind saw this scene and had already started filming.

The little boy made a large repair, and let Xu Yiqing carve his eyebrows with a knife in the last few strokes.Xu Yiqing held her breath, fearing that her movements would disrupt the rhythm of the two hands, she squatted until her legs became numb and did not stand up, and finally sat down simply.

"Here..." The little boy raised his hand and put it in his hand, "You."

"Give it to me?" Xu Yiqing looked at him in surprise, "But I saw that you carved it for a long time, so you gave it to me?"

The little boy nodded.

The photographer next to him ran over and took a close-up of the small wood carving.Xu Yiqing held it and showed it to the camera, watching the little boy start to take a new piece of wood, and sat quietly at the door to engrave it.

"The ruined temple you just visited seems to be the child's grandfather who has been watching." The director and Xu Yiqing who followed the filming said, "I just asked his grandfather at home, and I don't know the origin of the temple. If you’re a temple visitor, you can do nothing about it. This kid’s family is poor, and he’s studying at a school not far away, so we want to drop by and have a look.”

"Well, it must be that school." Xu Yiqing said, "Shall we go now?"

"I'm off today, I don't go to school until tomorrow, and I have to go to school tomorrow." The director looked at the wooden Buddha statue in his hand, "This is a pleasant surprise."

Xu Yiqing looked down and smiled softly: "Yes."

"Are you going to give it away?" the director asked casually.

"Well, give it to..." Xu Yiqing paused, "...I want to give it to my boyfriend."

Director: "... Teacher Xu's camera is not turned off."

The author has something to say: see you soon, see you soon.
