Standing outside the bathroom door, Rong Xu could vaguely hear the sound of rushing water through the door.

I don't know if it's because of the alcohol, I'm thirsty.

He stretched out his hand and unconsciously rubbed the base of his burning ear.

Rong Xu squinted his eyes, looking out the window at the high mountains that melted into the night.

It's so quiet, except for the sound of water behind you, there is no hustle and bustle in the city.

Occasionally, one or two cicadas sounded ethereal and crisp.

With a click, the bathroom door behind him opened, and steaming hot air came out.

Rong Xu turned around instinctively. The man who had just showered had steam in his hair and a little pink on his cheeks. He didn't look as cold as before, but became soft and lovely.

It can be seen that the clothes on his body have been adjusted as much as possible, but now he is inconvenient to move. The second and third buttons of the pajamas on his body are obviously buttoned incorrectly.

Gu Qiongyu looked normal: "I'm fine, you can go back."

"Don't worry, can you blow dry your hair?" Rong Xu bypassed him, went into the bathroom, and tried the temperature of the hair dryer.

The whistling wind brought warmth, and the cool fingers shuttled through the hair.

Gu Qiongyu half closed his eyes, his expression was unclear.

Rong Xu didn't expect that someone who seemed cold and difficult to get along with had such soft hair.

"Is it time for you to cut your hair?"

"Well, I haven't found time yet."

Originally, I wanted to wait for the boot to be designed according to Zhao Shanye's image, but something happened and it was delayed.

Rong Xu didn't say much, after helping him dry his hair, he pushed him to the bed: "It's getting late, go to bed early."

"Okay, so are you."

Watching Rong Xu leave, the corners of Gu Qiongyu's raised lips quickly fell again.

His eyes touched the calf that was in plaster, and he lay down after a while, pressing the button to turn off the light.

Is Rong Xu sympathizing with him?

Early the next morning, Rong Xu followed Xiang Jun into the mountains. Zhao Shanye grew up in the mountains. Even the deep forests were restricted by his father, but he was very familiar with the places he should be familiar with.

To play Zhao Shanye well, Rong Xu's first step is to integrate into his life.

Go and see what it's like to grow up in the mountains.

At the foot of Jingxiu Mountain, there is a Jingxiu Village,

Following Xiangjun, I looked at the bungalows of different heights on the left and right sides. Some of them may be in good condition, using red bricks and blue tiles, and some are still earthen houses. Yellow mud wets the ground.

The child standing at the entrance of the village raised his dark face and stared curiously at these outsiders.

Rong Xu noticed that some girls were still carrying baskets on their backs.

At first, he thought it was filled with wild vegetables picked from the mountains, but when he walked in, he found another younger child inside.

Xiang Jun saw his surprise: "The conditions here are not good. Parents go out to work, leaving some old people to take care of the children, and the older children take care of the younger ones."

Rong Xu watched as a girl hugged the crying child who was crying in the basket, and coaxed skillfully, "Aren't they going to school?"

"Children from poor families, what school do they go to?"

Rong Xu could tell that Xiang Jun's words were not sarcasm, but more helpless.

I can't afford to eat, I can't fill my stomach, and I don't have money to go to school.

"Going forward, it's the home of the mountain guard, should you go and see it?"

Looking at Rong Xu, Xiang Jun was a little worried whether all this would affect his state of mind today.

Rong Xu took a deep breath: "Let's go."

Their purpose today is to visit the prototype in "Deep Ridge and Barren Mountain", Chen Ye.

Chen Ye is 65 years old this year, a dark and thin old man, wearing a blue cloth shirt that has been washed to whitish.

Squatting at the door and smoking a dry cigarette, seeing that they were not enthusiastic, let alone get up.

Aunt Chen, who was still busy in the house, saw them and came out with a smile to greet them: "You guys are here again."

Obviously Xiang Jun has been here many times before.

Rong Xu followed behind him without opening his mouth. Xiang Jun seemed to be used to Uncle Chen Ye's attitude.

After chatting with Aunt Chen, I went over to talk to Uncle Chen Ye: "Two days ago, the group went to the town to resupply, and I bought some Laobaigan by the way."

While talking, he took out a small 200ml bottle of liquor from his pocket.

Seeing this, Chen Ye sneered: "Don't fool me with these things. If you want to know anything, it's all in this book. Just take pictures."

After the words fell, the old man got up, tapped the sole of his shoe with his cigarette bag, and walked away with his hands behind his back.

Seeing this, Aunt Chen smiled apologetically at them: "He just has a stubborn temper, don't be fooled."

Xiang Jun nodded: "I know, I can understand, I'll go back before it's too early."

"Then you go slowly, don't send it off."

The two came out of Uncle Chen Ye's house, but they didn't send out Lao Baigan in Xiang Jun's pocket.

On the half way back, Xiang Jun didn't speak. Rong Xu observed the left-behind children who were standing on the side of the road, full of curiosity about them.

The scene that should have been warm could not cover up the vicissitudes and desolation of Jingxiu Village.

Rong Xu did not expect that the story of "Deep Ridge and Barren Mountain" has moved many people, and the living conditions have not improved because of the popularity of this book.

"Is Uncle Chen Ye's attitude very strange?" Xiang Jun said suddenly, Rong Xu nodded, "Why?"

"It's not bad now. When Uncle Chen Ye heard that he was going to make a book based on him when he came here, he called us liars with a stick and told us to go back." Speaking of this, Xiang Jun suppressed With a smile, "The old man is still very strong at such an old age. We were afraid that something would happen to him. Several people in the team went to persuade him, but it must have been because he couldn't control him. He suffered several times in vain. In the end, Mrs. Chen came out to save him. people brought it back."

"It was only later that I found out that Mei Qing, the author of "Deep Ridge and Barren Mountain", learned about the story of the mountain guard from Uncle Chen Ye, and made a wish. He said that if the book was published and the income was good, he would take it. Come out, support the development of Jingxiu Mountain, and let more people come here to invest.”

Having said that, Xiang Jun lit a cigarette.

Looking at the dilapidated houses on both sides of the road, Rong Xu knew that Mei Qing had not fulfilled this promise.

"Deep Ridge and Barren Mountain" is Mei Qing's pioneering work, and it became popular as soon as it came out. Mei Qing has also produced works in recent years, but they have not reached the level of "Deep Ridge and Barren Mountain".

"It's not that Mei Qing didn't fulfill his promise at all. When he came back later, he built this road for the village. You can still see it when you go to the World Expo."

Xiang Jun sneered silently.

Full of sarcasm.

Rong Xu suddenly understood Uncle Chen Ye's behavior. Back then, he probably had hoped for Mei Qing's promise.

If Mei Qing had fulfilled her promise back then, Jingxiu Village might be different now.

"At first, I wanted to build a good relationship with Uncle Chen Ye. When the filming encounters difficulties, I can consult him. Now it seems that it is not easy for the old man to be very stubborn. He was afraid of snake bites for ten years and was afraid of well ropes, so I told him. The crew took out 200 million yuan to build Hope Primary School for Jingxiu Village and repair these dilapidated houses, do you know what the old man said?"

"say what?"

"He said you should do it first, and then I promise you."

Xiang Jun sighed: "200 million, I haven't made a profit yet."

Rong Xu didn't answer, he knew Xiang Jun's 200 million was also a promise.

For Uncle Chen Ye, promises are no longer reliable, and he can only feel at ease when he sees the real thing with his own eyes.

"We don't have much time. If we can't talk to him later, forget it."

Rong Xu nodded, and went out with Xiang Jun for a day, and it was half dark when he returned.

It was windy in the mountains, and it was cold before the sun had completely set.

Seeing this, Xiang Jun smiled and said, "Young people should exercise more and learn from your brother Gu. Whenever you lift your clothes, you will have standard eight-pack abs."

Rong Xu didn't expect him to mention this suddenly, and the inside of the bathroom yesterday suddenly appeared in his mind.

"Well, I will exercise for a few days."

Xiang Jun saw that he understood what he meant, and nodded: "Go back, let your assistant make some ginger syrup for you to drive away the cold, don't catch a cold."

"it is good."

Seeing him coming back, Yan Xiaoguang quickly asked: "Brother, why is it so late, have you eaten yet?"

"Not yet." Rong Xu found clean clothes and was about to wash them. Yan Xiaoguang said while ordering food beside him, "Brother, Brother Song just brought ginger syrup, saying that he asked you to drink it to drive away the cold after you came back."

Rong Xu, who was walking towards the bathroom, paused when he heard the words: "Yes, I see."

After taking a shower, Yan Xiaoguang had already ordered dinner from the hotel kitchen.

"Brother, I'm going to town tomorrow to buy some lemons, ginger, brown sugar, etc. Do you have anything else to buy?"

For some reason, Rong Xu thought of Gu Qiongyu's slightly long hair: "Buy a leather case for your hair."

"what?"

"Forget it, just watch and buy."

"Oh."

Yan Xiaoguang glanced at Rong Xu's half-length short hair, thinking why does Brother Xu want to grow long hair?

Or is it that the character named Zhao Shanye is a braid?

That's pretty cool!

He reached out and touched his big bald head.

It's great to have hair, and I won't get my brain frozen when I sleep at night.

Yan Xiaoguang went to town in the morning and came back in the afternoon, bought a bunch of things, and brought Rong Xu a box of plastic leather cases.

When Rong Xu caught it, his heart tightened, he pursed his lower lip and put it aside without saying anything.

Yan Xiaoguang packed his things and took out the health pot he brought.

Prepare to wash the lemons and soak them in water.

After Yan Xiaoguang was done, he poured a cup and handed it to Rong Xu: "I just came back and saw Brother Gu letting the wind down."

"Really, with whom?"

"No one, just himself, Brother Song is not by his side."

Rong Xu nodded, didn't answer, reached out to pick up the script on the table, and flipped through it.

But I couldn't read a word for a long time.

In Gu Qiongyu's current situation, if he is alone outside, what should he do if he falls?

"Brother, what's the matter with you, are you not feeling well?"

Seeing him get up and sit down for a while, Yan Xiaoguang finally couldn't help asking.

"No, I'm a little bored, I'll go out to get some air."

"Oh, do you want me to accompany you?"

"No, I'll just walk around downstairs."

"Okay, call me if you need anything."

Rong Xu nodded and hurried out of the room.

Coming out of the elevator, Rong Xu subconsciously searched for Gu Qiongyu's figure, until he saw the man talking to Xiang Jun under the huge old elm tree, the inexplicable uneasiness in his heart calmed down.

Noticed him beckoning to Jun.

Rong Xu walked over, smiled and called: "Guide, Brother Gu."

"I was talking about you just now. Turn on the machine the day after tomorrow. How is the script? If there is something unclear, we can sit down and discuss it together. I originally thought that Uncle Chen Ye could provide us with some help, but now it doesn't work anymore. , can only rely on ourselves."

"Not yet, I just don't know if I understand that."

"Then watch it when the filming starts." Xiang Jun smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "Or talk to Brother Gu about what you understand, and let him analyze it for you. I still have to go back beforehand. Do you guys go back? "

"Wait a minute."

The two spoke almost at the same time, and looked at each other after speaking.

Xiang Jun smiled knowingly: "Okay, then you guys talk about me and go back first."

As soon as Xiang Jun left, the two of them were left under the tree.

"Why isn't Brother Song with you?"

"He's gone to town. The sample of Shang has arrived. He's going to pick it up."

"So fast?"

"Well, but we have to wait a few more days for the official release." Seeing the surprise on the young man's face, Gu Qiongyu couldn't help but raise the corner of his lower lip, "Did you go to see Uncle Chen Ye with the guide yesterday? ?”

"Well, it's a little different from what I imagined." After Rong Xu finished speaking, his voice paused, and he added, "But I can understand his mood."

Gu Qiongyu looked at him: "Do you want to do something?"

Unexpectedly, Gu Qiongyu would guess his thoughts, Rong Xu nodded: "Yes, but I don't have much experience in this field, but those children who stay at home are very pitiful."

"Actually, you don't need to do anything. After this movie is released, Jingxiu Village will be exposed to the public. At that time, many people will notice it, which can be regarded as helping them indirectly."

"I understand, I'm just thinking about it." Rong Xu smiled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.

"You can set up a poverty alleviation foundation. There should be many people willing to donate money to support this place. If you want, I can help you."

Rong Xu didn't expect that Gu Qiongyu would take the initiative to propose, and his heart seemed to be brushed by a feather: "Will it be troublesome?"

"No, as long as you leave it to a professional, leave it to me."

"I'm going to donate all the proceeds from this play."

"Have you considered?"

Even if according to Rong Xu's current status, he can't get the salary of a top artist, it won't be very low.

"You contribute and I pay, isn't it just right?"

After Rong Xu finished speaking with a smile, he suddenly raised his hand, and in his palm was a small bag of black plastic rubber bands, pointing at Gu Qiongyu's hair, "It's more comfortable to use this to tie your hair long enough to cover your eyes."

Gu Qiongyu stared at the rubber band in his palm, rolled his Adam's apple, and reached out to take it: "Thank you."
