Xu Xiaozhou pulled down the email, and the other party asked about his time schedule from the end of October this year to the middle of January next year, as well as the principles for trainees to accept plays. The writing is very formal, and it looks like a templated job invitation from a big studio. .

It's just that the mighty row of recipients in the CC column made people dumbfounded. Xu Xiaozhou took a rough look, and Director Feng was probably only average among them.The boss in charge of brokerage contracts, the boss of film and television resources, and several people Xu Xiaozhou didn't know were all copied.

Sister Zhao whispered in his ear, "As expected of Bai Qiyan, this is the first time I've seen you in this battle."

Xu Xiaozhou subconsciously turned his head to look at Chen Jingfeng, but the other party was also confused and was looking this way asking questions, obviously completely ignorant.Xu Xiaozhou's mind turned and he suddenly thought of something. He looked over to Director Wang and saw Director Wang smiling at him inscrutablely.

Xu Xiaozhou went back holding his phone, a little at a loss, "Director Wang..."

Wang Yichi smiled kindly, "Actors need word of mouth in the director circle. You are lucky. Just last night, Qi Yan approached us to find a role. I just pushed the MV of Jing Feng that you shot and yesterday's Jian Xian Xian." I gave him the camera, I didn't expect this old guy to be quick."

Xu Xiaozhou didn't know what to say at all, he felt his mind was a little blank. "Hundred Demons Travel" is a commercial film, and there must be traffic. Whether an individual can become popular depends on his fate.But "Ban Xian Jiang" is different. Bai Qiyan's first masterpiece after returning from Hollywood, being selected represents the recognition of the industry, and the level is obviously different.He was blank for a while, and then said: "Thank you Director Wang, I..."

"Don't be in a hurry to thank me. The role that Qi Yan asks others to recommend will definitely not be a main character, and you may not be stable. Prepare well and don't delay the filming of my scene."

"Definitely not." Xu Xiaozhou waved his hand quickly, and out of the corner of his eye was the man's left hand tightly clenched on his thigh, obviously suppressing his excitement.He lowered his eyes, and saw Chen Jingfeng lift Sangsang's paw under the table, and gave a high-five with no disturbance on the surface, but with great joy behind his back.

Xu Xiaozhou seemed to hear the sound of "yeah" from one person and one cat at the same time.

On this day of filming, he could feel that the eyes of the people around him were obviously different.The protagonists are okay, and the performance of the supporting actors is especially obvious.Yesterday Xu Xiaozhou received a lot of admiration from the crew, but today there is not only admiration, but more envy.There are many capable people in this industry, but there are really few lucky ones.Xu Xiaozhou was in a scene and was sitting on a stool drinking water. He Chenran happened to pass by, looked at the sweat dripping on his face, and said with emotion: "Sure enough, the boat is turning around."

"really?"

"If you are unlucky for a long time, you will bounce back sooner or later." He Chenran smiled, "I said this last year, and you see, it has come true."

The director asked He Chenran to face the camera, He Chenran agreed and left. Xu Xiaozhou looked at his back and suddenly felt a subtle feeling.

Three months before his debut assessment last year, he avoided all spicy, greasy, and heavy-tasting foods. He woke up every morning to practice his voice in the classroom, practiced his lines with the drama teacher in the morning, and then went to the dance room to tear himself apart until midnight or even midnight.In order to better interpret the tenderness and power of a piece of modern dance, he even tied sandbags around his waist and legs to practice. Trembling downwards, Xu Xiaozhou, who was dancing a modern dance, fell heavily. Although he grabbed the edge of the lifting platform with perfect muscle explosiveness and did not fall, he suffered a lumbar muscle strain, missed the assessment, and had a full rest on the bed a month.

He Chenran came to see him in the dormitory on the night when he confirmed his debut quota, brought him a lot of fruits and snacks, took his hand and said, "Bad luck has its own end, don't stretch too tight a string, Eat something good tomorrow is another day."

At that time, he smiled weakly and congratulated He Chenran, but he didn't eat those delicate and delicious snacks.He couldn't help but tighten this string, the more he lost again and again, the more nervous he became.His life seems to be uneventful, but there is no retreat behind him.

"Hey!"

Xu Xiaozhou came back to his senses suddenly, Chen Jingfeng stood in front of him, he had already changed into his costume, and asked, "Why are you in a daze?"

"No." Xu Xiaozhou subconsciously denied.The man didn't take it seriously, and said: "I don't have a show today. I will shoot the funeral scene tonight. Let's go out in the afternoon."

"Where?"

Chen Jingfeng lowered his voice, "My friend is here."

Xu Xiaozhou was stunned for half a second before realizing who he was talking about, the man who looked like a vampire last time, the so-called guy who has a lot of research on "living creatures".

"Okay." Xu Xiaozhou hugged Sangsang subconsciously. The little guy was sleeping soundly, with his paws stretched out to grab Xu Xiaozhou's shoulders, like a coquettish child.

He weighed Sangsang's belly, eating less and moving more the past two days and diarrhea yesterday didn't seem to have any effect on this guy, his heavy belly was full of meat, and he even seemed to be getting fatter.

Chen Jingfeng walked a few steps ahead, then suddenly turned around and asked, "Is Sangsang's claws sharp?"

The wound on Sangsang's paw should have healed long ago, but for some reason, a small crack remained.Xu Xiaozhou pinched the kitten's paw and looked in front of him, he couldn't help being stunned.

"What's wrong?" The man leaned over.

"The crack on the meat pad seems to be..." Xu Xiaozhou paused, then double-checked with his eyes wide open, "Is it a little bigger than before?"

"No way." Chen Jingfeng subconsciously took the cat's little paw and looked at the light. Sure enough, the small crack that was only about two or three millimeters before was now more than half a centimeter, and it seemed to be deeper than before, with faint bloodshot eyes.

Xu Xiaozhou recalled vigorously, "I saw you taking a shower the night before yesterday when I was bored outside, okay, what happened yesterday?"

The man thought for a while, then pursed his lips, "You rushed into the grass and had diarrhea...you stepped on it again, didn't you?"

Xu Xiaozhou was silent when he heard the words.The kitten is too delicate, but he obviously didn't feel any pain yesterday.

"Poor thing, I can't get used to it anymore, and I won't give anything containing milk."

Xu Xiaozhou didn't say a word. For some reason, he always felt that something was weird.Although Sangsang sleeps every day, he always feels that something is wrong with Sangsang today.He subconsciously hugged the kitten tightly, pressing his chest against his chest, feeling the little guy's thumping heartbeat, as if he could feel relieved.

The place where Chen Jingfeng made an appointment was near the film crew. This time, he and Xu Xiaozhou waited for more than half an hour before the person came.When the man came in, he was still covered in sand and dust, Chen Jingfeng couldn't help frowning when he saw it, "Where did you go?"

"A few friends called me to go to West Africa to collect folk songs, and when I came back, I was called by you."

"What did you pick?" Chen Jingfeng asked casually.

"Nothing, who can be as lucky as you, get an Egyptian civet out of nowhere, tsk..." The man naturally turned his head to look at Sangsang who was sleeping in Xu Xiaozhou's arms. The man's eyes swept over his hind legs, and he became serious in an instant.

Xu Xiaozhou's heart sank, "What's wrong?"

"What did you do to the cat?"

"Us?" Chen Jingfeng was taken aback, "Why do you ask that?"

The man pointed at Sangsang's feet, "The paws of the Egyptian civet are tied to the cat's soul. Although the pads are soft and delicate, ordinary minor injuries can heal quickly. What can leave a gap is not a foot injury, but a soul injury."

"Soul injury?" Xu Xiaozhou screamed, and suddenly realized that he had overreacted. The kitten in his arms seemed to wake up, and he opened his eyes listlessly, glanced at him, and then closed them again.

Like last time in the crew, he stood on the high platform and yelled, and the kitten looked at him like this before he fell asleep. It's just that last time Sangsang turned around flexibly, which was obviously much more active than this time.

"What's going on?" Xu Xiaozhou frowned tightly, his black eyes full of anxiety.He stared at the man, desperate for an answer.

"That's a long story." The man paused, glanced at the sleeping Sangsang, and said, "Egypt is the origin of the cat clan. Many legendary civet cats have been born, but most of them stop at legends. Only Those of us who study living creatures believe in its existence, most of them regard it as a legend, and listen to it for fun. But even if we believe in its existence, because it is too powerful and against the law of heaven, it has long since died out, so we also Its existence cannot be verified."

"However, civets are different."

"Since the Middle Ages, a group of fools in Europe have rumored that black cats are witches' pets, so cats in continental Europe, especially kittens with black color, have been slaughtered. The foundation of the cat family has been damaged, and the last ray buried under the continent of Egypt The cat's soul awakened, scattered blessings in the world and sheltered several descendants, and became a rare civet today, which is the one in your hand."

The man paused as he spoke, "So many things have been explained. The spirit of the civet cat comes from the soul of the cat god, so the spirit is only in the soul and has nothing to do with the body. Because of this, you look like A beautiful shorthair with not very pure blood is really just a beautiful shorthair with impure bloodline. Civets are usually a little stronger and fatter than their peers, usually there is no difference, only cat claws, delicate and powerful His cat's paw is the only connection to his cat soul."

Xu Xiaozhou was shocked when he heard it, and he stood there in a daze, not knowing how to react.Chen Jingfeng asked: "So, why is the civet powerful?"

"Actually, it's not powerful." The man propped his chin and thought for a while, uncertain: "There are too many legends, but they are all just the self-orgasms of living creature researchers. Ordinary people can't know everything about gods, let alone I don't know how powerful a ray of God's soul is. Oh, but what I can be sure of is that the civet itself is auspicious, a great auspicious auspiciousness. Think about it, there are thousands of cats in the world, and a ray of God's soul Randomly hit a few, what is the probability?"

Xu Xiaozhou didn't want to worry about this probability problem. He gently held Sangsang's paw and asked anxiously, "So what is soul injury?"

"It is said that when God condemned the cat god, in addition to the thunder, he also used a kind of plant that can kill the soul of the god cat, which is called Hewu."

"He Wu?"

"It's today's lotus. The root of the lotus is the must-kill weapon of the civet family. Humans think it is colorless and tasteless, but cats will have cognitive weakening when they smell it in their bodies. It belongs to killing cats invisible. That is to say, you noble If the little guy is in contact with the lotus root for a long time, he will unknowingly turn into an ordinary cat, completely forgetting that he is different. Claw injuries are soul injuries. When the claws are bloody, it is the soul of the cat god. When the soul flies away. If the root of the lotus is eaten, it will also cause some damage to the cat's soul, and the cat itself cannot digest that thing, and it will probably cause problems."

While talking, the man's expression suddenly became serious, staring at Xu Xiaozhou, and slowly said: "Many people who study living creatures but have impure thoughts say that whoever gets a civet will get the auspiciousness bestowed by the gods. But the civet is high Cold, disdain to be with others, so some people will use lotus root to make them let down their vigilance, and follow them in a daze every day, delusion that one day they will completely surrender. Don’t tell me, you tried this.”

Xu Xiaozhou shook his head immediately, "Of course not." He subconsciously looked down at Sangsang, "I won't hurt it."

He subconsciously remembered that when he first met, Sangsang's paws were bloody and bloody. At that time, he thought that someone abused the cat or stepped into the pile of broken glass, but he didn't expect it to be so.

If the claw injury is the soul injury, at that time, the little guy may really be unable to hold on.

Xu Xiaozhou hugged the cat even tighter, "What should I do if the civet is injured?"

"Continue the soul."

"How to continue?"

The man smiled. He looked at the pair of clear and anxious pupils opposite him with a playful expression, and said softly: "The legend is, murder."

"What?" Chen Jingfeng said incredulously.

The man said quietly, "If you think about it, the blessing of the cat god is not just for the benefit of a few poor little ones. The reason why the god's soul reappeared in the world was originally dissatisfied with the slaughter of the younger generations. Its original purpose of existence is revenge. It’s just that the world is peaceful now, and everyone loves cats, so this mission no longer exists. But although the mission is gone, the ability is still there.”

The man murmured: "After killing someone, using a human body to raise a cat's soul, God's will is hard to fathom, tsk tsk."

On the way back, Chen Jingfeng felt a little numb. After a long time, he whispered to Xu Xiaozhou: "We must find a way, we can't let Sangsang and you interpenetrate anymore, this is killing you !"

However, Xu Xiaozhou's voice was very calm, and his black eyes glanced at the man calmly, "Sangsang will not hurt me."

"why?"

"The man said that after the murder, the cat's soul will be raised in a human body. It is after the murder." Xu Xiaozhou said softly: "I have intertwined with Sangsang until now, and I don't feel that my body and will have been weakened in any way, and according to his If Sangsang really wanted to use my life to nourish his soul, he would not alternate day and night with me."

"He is a little guy who knows how to repay his kindness, and he doesn't have the heart to hurt me." Xu Xiaozhou said as he gently lifted the kitten up and placed it in front of his eyes.Sangsang opened his eyes and glanced at him as if aware of it, then closed them again.Xu Xiaozhou subconsciously moved his head closer, and gently rubbed the fur on the kitten's head with his lips.

"I'm very glad that I saved him that day. The man said that when the claws are bloody and bloody, it's when the soul flies away. It's so dangerous."

Chen Jingfeng was silent, he watched Xu Xiaozhou gently rubbing his cheek against the kitten.In a trance, I actually felt that this person and cat were surprisingly similar.

"I know who hurt Sangsang." Xu Xiaozhou carefully hugged the cat back into his arms after being intimate, and said in a calm tone: "Sangsang's diarrhea twice was not an accident, but someone did it deliberately. The last time It's in the program group of "Zai Zai's Friendship", this time it's in the crew of "Hundred Demons Traveling", besides you and me, who else?"

"He Chenran."

Xu Xiaozhou snorted softly, and a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes, "The wind that blew in from under the door that night was not accidental, and he was also the person standing outside the door. I didn't respond because I was lucky and happened to be in the body at night. It's my soul, and the next day, Sangsang just crossed over and was taken to the crew by you, and he didn't stay in the room for a long time. I'm afraid it was He Chenran who took advantage of us not paying attention yesterday and took advantage of the lotus roots. Gave it to Sangsang."

"Senior." Xu Xiaozhou stopped suddenly.

Chen Jingfeng said: "I know what you are going to say. Tonight, I will take you to find him."

The night was shrouded, and the entire hotel was quiet.Chen Jingfeng was wearing a black tracksuit, opened the door silently, his kitten rubbed against his feet, and walked to the other end of the corridor with him.

The doorbell rang, and He Chenran opened the door quickly.When he saw Chen Jingfeng, he twitched his mouth first, but then looked down and saw Xu Xiaozhou, he was stunned for a moment, "Did senior take the initiative to bring the kitten to play today? It's a pity that Beibei is not here."

"Really?" the man said lightly.

"That's right, Beibei can't take part in the show. By the way, isn't it supposed to be filming tonight? I heard that you suddenly canceled it with the director and postponed it later. What's wrong with the kitten?" He Chenran said at the same time He bent down naturally, as if wanting to hug Xu Xiaozhou.However, the kitten looked at him with cold eyes, staring at him so dazedly that he dared not stretch out his hand.

A man's cold voice came from above his head.

"Last time, did Beibei want to see Sangsang, or did you want to see him?"

He Chenran froze. After a while, he slowly stood up and looked at Chen Jingfeng, "What's wrong, senior? What does this mean?"

Chen Jingfeng calmed down and said: "My kitten has something to say to you."

"Anything to say?" He Chenran was taken aback, and a hint of uncontrollable laughter flashed on Junxiu's face, "What can the kitty say to me?"

However, Chen Jingfeng did not pay for his acting. The man whispered: "Sangsang said, I hope you will stop standing outside other people's doors every night, and don't mess with other people's pets' food and water. People who want to get auspiciousness often Incurring a fatal disaster. It’s not that the time has not come, I hope you will remember it.”

He Chenran's eyes exploded deeply, and his voice sank, "Senior, you..."

Chen Jingfeng hooked the corners of his lips, and said as if he had nothing to do with it: "I don't know what it means. This little guy is as big as a cat and a ghost, and he only needs a mouth. I just pass on a word for him. I don't understand much either, you should rest early."

He turned around while talking, Xu Xiaozhou stared at He Chenran coldly, turned around after a while, raised his tail and rubbed against the man and left.

According to the man, affected by the lotus root, I am afraid that Sangsang still can't tell whether He Chenran is an enemy or a friend. He is dizzy and only thinks that person is familiar, so he curiously talks to him in the crew. Look at each other.

It's a shame that he can't do anything about He Chenran, no matter what these mysterious things are done, they can't be the evidence to bring him down.

As if he knew what Xu Xiaozhou was thinking, the man suddenly said softly: "You need to develop."

what?

The kitten was taken aback for a moment, then raised its head and stretched its neck blankly to look at the man.The man lowered his head, bent down, hugged Xu Xiaozhou into his arms, stroked the smooth hair on his back, and said, "Many of the bloody storms in this circle have no evidence. Only by developing steadily, when you can press When you crush a person with your face, you can take revenge on him."

The man lowered his voice and touched Xu Xiaozhou's small ears, "I will protect you, you and Sangsang."

The kitten curled up in his arms and purred.

The next day, the careful people in the crew more or less discovered something was wrong.Xu Xiaozhou, who didn't appear on the set when there were no shows, seemed to have a root growing under his buttocks. He appeared on the set at the same time as Chen Jingfeng early in the morning. After breakfast, he sat on the stool and hugged the cat in a daze. Someone came to ask, he He would reply lightly, "I am idle, I am here to observe and learn from the seniors."

However, upon careful observation, it can be found that he did not come to study, because he seldom pays attention to the shooting location.Most of the time, he was gently smoothing the kitten, and occasionally lifted the kitten's paw to take a look.

The small slit on the paw shrank a little more, and it seemed that the impact was not serious this time, and it was recovering again.

The small gap before had shrunk to two or three millimeters and hadn't healed, probably because the soul injury hadn't healed in the end, or maybe the remaining loss was too small, and Sangsang didn't bother to repair it. After all, only he can experience how lazy the cat is.

Xu Xiaozhou reckoned that when his soul injury healed, he would probably stop interacting with Sangsang.He thought, and gently pinched Sangsang's little ears, "Stop being lazy, get better soon."

Xiao Wu who passed by was stunned for a moment, "What's wrong with Sangsang?"

Xu Xiaozhou said calmly: "Diarrhea."

"Uh, it's not healed yet, I'm all skinny." Xiao Wu said subconsciously. After speaking, he looked back at Sangsang, his eyes fell on a certain cat's belly, and he paused for a moment. He pursed his mouth in embarrassment. "It's also a good thing, clearing the intestines and removing the fire, clearing the intestines and removing the fire."

Xu Xiaozhou hummed without speaking, and after a while, Sangsang woke up.

Today the kitten is much more lively than yesterday, probably after a night of recuperation.It grabbed Xu Xiaozhou's collar and put it on Xu Xiaozhou's shoulders. The boy's shoulders were too slender, the kitten couldn't stand up, and his feet slipped and slipped. The whole cat hung on Xu Xiaozhou's shoulder like a towel.

Xu Xiaozhou was speechless, turned his head and looked at Sangsang, "It just happened to be skinny."

"Meow." The kitten stuck out its tongue and licked the chest of Xu Xiaozhou's shirt.

That night Xu Xiaozhou had a dream in Sangsang's body.The first half of the dream was his experience when he was very young. When he was in elementary school, a group of classmates surrounded a little black cat and bullied him, saying that the black cat was ugly and unlucky, and they whipped it with wicker sticks.Xu Xiaozhou studied well when he was a child, and he was still the class monitor, so he stepped forward to stop those people.There was a boy in there who was very domineering. After seeing the squad leader dislike him for a long time, he raised his fist and wanted to hit him.But what he didn't expect was that the thin Xu Xiaozhou was very agile. After playing for 2 minutes, he found that he couldn't beat him, so he had to run away in a panic.

Xu Xiaozhou rescued the kitten, but when he turned his head, the kitten disappeared.He just vaguely remembered that the cat was indeed ugly, but being ugly was not a reason for being bullied, so he didn't take it seriously and continued with the class.

But those bad boys were right in saying that the cat was unlucky. Since then, Xu Xiaozhou has had bad luck every day for more than ten years.

He sighed softly in his dream, and before he had time to express his emotions about the old things, his perspective suddenly changed, and he returned to the cat's body with pink flesh pads.

He turned his head and saw another little kitten on the corner of the street.This kitten looks a lot like Sangsang, but a little younger than Sangsang.Like a pudding, so cute.

A little dumpling, every day, goes to heaven and earth, chasing butterflies or beating dogs. The big wild cats and fat cats in the whole street are frightened when they smell it from a distance. Appeared from the corner of the street happily, taking home the toys that others hadn't had time to take away.

Yes, it only wants toys, and it doesn't even look at the food that is left behind.The food on the street is dirty and spoiled, and the witty and dignified aristocratic cat is not going to be tempted.

When it was raining, Xu Xiaozhou and the little milk cat would find a eaves that looked pleasing to the eye and hide together. Like the less witty and less noble cats, both of them were a little afraid of water and thunder.There seemed to be a ray of consciousness in his body telling him that thunder was a catastrophe, and it was God who was angry, so he had to run away.

Xu Xiaozhou looked up at the dark clouds and sighed with the little dumpling in his dream. Before he had time to move his butt under the eaves, he suddenly fell into a trance, as if something pulled him out of his body .This feeling was a little familiar, he opened his eyes suddenly, and sat up from the bed.

In the dark hotel room, the youthful and chaotic breathing.He was startled and looked at his palm.

At 02:30 in the morning, he wore it back?

how so.

Xu Xiaozhou trembled in his heart, suddenly realized that something was wrong, he didn't even have time to put on his shoes, he opened the door and ran to Chen Jingfeng's room.The entire corridor was filled with the sound of the young man's panicked footsteps. He slammed on the door. Five seconds later, the dazed man opened the door with sleepy eyes. When he saw him, he became even more dazed.

"Why did you come back?"

"How did I come back?"

The two asked at the same time.

Xu Xiaozhou squeezed into the room and slammed the door. When he turned his head, he saw the kitten on the bed narrowing its eyes and licking its paws.

"What do you mean, your soul is healed?" Chen Jingfeng asked in confusion.

Xu Xiaozhou walked forward without making a sound, and the kitten seemed to know what he was going to do, so he lay down on the bed in a cooperative manner, stretched out his hind legs, and shook his head.

Not good yet.

Xu Xiaozhou was speechless, he sat down on the bed, anxious, "What's going on, this guy has a big heart, what's wrong?"

His tone was anxious, the kitten rolled up, and patted his back in relief, as if telling him not to worry.

Xu Xiaozhou couldn't laugh or cry.He was about to say something, but the bed under him seemed to move suddenly, he subconsciously thought he was going to put it back on again, but no, when he opened his eyes, he was still human.

But the bed moved again.

"Wait." Chen Jingfeng suddenly turned his head to look at a red Chinese knot hanging on the wall. The Chinese knot was swaying from side to side as if possessed by an evil spirit. The man said in a deep voice, "It's about an earthquake."

Xu Xiaozhou suddenly realized, looked at Sangsang, who still had a flattering face, lying on his lap, licking and scratching.

"It's probably because the evacuation crowd from the hotel swiped their cards to enter your room, and it would be revealed." Chen Jingfeng looked at Sangsang with his ancestor's expression on his face, "I'm convinced, I'm ashamed."

Two minutes later, an emergency siren sounded in the hotel corridor.Although it was only a small earthquake with a magnitude of three or four, the service personnel still rushed to each floor very conscientiously, asking the residents to temporarily evacuate to the flat ground outside.

The man was holding the cat, and beside him was a barefoot teenager.Before Xu Xiaozhou could go back to put on his shoes, he was forced into the fire escape stairs by the waiter.

People on the same floor are also here, Sun Jie looked back, "Hey, Brother Feng, Xiao Zhou, why are you two together?"

Chen Jingfeng said: "We were petting cats."

"Pick the cat?" Sun Jie paused, "Pick the cat after two o'clock in the morning?"

Sangsang lying in Xu Xiaozhou's arms turned his head to look at him after hearing the words, his cat's eyes were indifferent, Sun Jie felt inexplicably scared, turned back quickly, and said perfunctorily, "I really know how to play."

Xu Xiaozhou looked around and said lightly, "Where is Shen Ran? Why isn't he here?"

Sun Jie shook his head, "I don't know."

Xu Xiaozhou's eyes fell on Dai Tianqi who was not far away, but he saw that Dai Tianqi seemed to be burned, and immediately turned his head, "I don't know either."
