Travels

"Now, let's go now?"

Xia Wanmu put away the bag, and nodded affirmatively at the repeater opposite: "Can you send me the exact location? Please."

The eldest lady didn't blink for a few seconds, but subconsciously stopped her incoherently: "But...don't you still want to film?"

"The male lead has been replaced, and I have nothing to do to make up shots in the past few days."

"But you are a star after all! Just like that...? The manager and the company will let you run around alone?"

"So I'm leaving now." She stood up: "Just give me the location."

"No... Although it is in the next province, it will take five or six hours to drive there. It is all mountain roads, and you are not familiar with that area..." Ji Mingzhao slowly folded the information on the table into his arms with shaking hands, already With a crying voice, "Sister Xia, can you think twice before you act, your status...is not suitable! I will help you if you want to check anything, why bother..."

"I want to go by myself and see with my own eyes." She looked at the person quietly, the persistence in her eyes was unshakable, "It doesn't matter if you don't tell me, I probably know the location, and I will find it. Today, thank you. "

She nodded to the eldest lady, turned around and left.But the friction between the chair and the ground suddenly sounded, and Ji Mingzhao grabbed her hand before the door was opened, and compromised with despair: "Okay, ok, ancestor, I'll go with you! You get in my car!"

"No, I'm self-willed. This matter has nothing to do with you..."

"It has something to do with it! Sister, if something happens to you on the way, I deserve to die! All right, let me go with you, okay?"

Maybe it was because the expression on that face was too sincere, she glanced at the young lady twice, and didn't refuse anymore.

On the rugged mountain road, an unknown age Santana 2000 was bumping with difficulty. Xia Wanmu was sitting in the co-pilot, his whole body was chilled by the cold wind coming in through the cracks in the car window, and he couldn't help but put his hands on the small Feel it on the air outlet of the small air conditioner - the slightly hot warm air is pitifully small, even drying your hands is an extravagant hope.

She couldn't hold back, and finally asked, "Is this your car?"

"It's in N's hands. I'm having a temper tantrum with my family these days, and my money is tight, so I can only sell the car and get a cheaper one to support myself."

There is going to be a big bend that is close to a right angle in front of him. Ji Mingzhao briefly explained a few words, and then slowed down the speed of the car. His hands, which were red with cold, were on the steering wheel, and several veins popped out. It looked a bit hideous. , It is far from the hand of a lady.She lowered her body, and her whole body was pressed against the steering wheel, as if the thing had been rusted, and it took all her strength to turn it.

From the tense muscles on her face and the creaking and rubbing sound, Xia Wanmu felt that this was probably a laborious job, and she was even more uneasy while being puzzled.

"Is this car... safe?"

The car passed the bend safely, and then drove up the narrow and uneven mountain road. The eldest lady's dignified face slowed down a little, and she comforted with some embarrassment: "It's okay! Even if it looks broken, it can still be driven. It's been more than half a month, and nothing has happened yet."

As soon as the words fell, the tires pressed on a short section of the gravel road, the car body shook suddenly, and the windows and seats hummed one after another. Xia Wanmu pulled the small handle on the top of the window, feeling his jaw Tremble with the frequency of the bumps.

"Maybe... the shock absorption is not working well."

The eldest lady's voice was also trembling, and the two stopped talking, and concentrated on dealing with this section of the path.

There are gentle hills on both sides of the road, and some not very tall trees are scattered and crooked. In the low-lying places, there are often a few dead branches that have withered due to the severe winter and stick out lonely, whipping on the car shell like a small whip. On the ground, the slight rattling sound was drowned in the wind.

They have already passed the place where cement pavement can still be used, and they reckon that they are not far from their destination.Yu Qingge's hometown is considered remote even among many rural villages. There are not many houses every one or two miles, but one piece after another of mountains and wasteland are close to each other, silently watching Santana who is struggling forward.

"There is only the little cripple's family left in that house. His wife got married early, and now there are two children. The four of them have occupied a few acres of land to farm and raise chickens, so they can just make ends meet. The old grandma has long been buried in the soil Yes, it is said that at the end of the day, Teacher Yu is still asking Mr. Yu to pay for the renovation of the house and roads, although it is a small amount of money, but it is not so frustrating!"

Xia Wanmu didn't comment, she just pursed her lips and looked at the end of the path quietly.

"The little cripple is quite an honest person, and he is willing to live in his hometown. It's hard to talk about Father Yu and the boss..." Ji Mingzhao sniffed, glanced at the faces of the people next to him, and asked tentatively: "Xia Sister, you went to visit Ren Lao's home behind Teacher Yu's back, have you thought up an excuse? Did you just pass by like this? The paparazzi have not lost their ideas over the years, we just... will be thrown out, right? What's more, the previous variety show has already aired an episode, what if the little cripple recognizes us directly? Then we can't hide it..."

These words were right in her heart, she got into the car and bumped for more than five hours out of impulse, and she was about to reach the gate of Menhulu's house, but she still couldn't think of a way out. Can you watch from a distance in the car?

She wants more than that.

"Let's talk about it at that time, I don't know what to do, my mind is in a mess." She lowered her eyes, her tone was very soft, almost frozen in the cold air of the car, "I'm sorry, I dragged you into the water on impulse. "

"It's okay, it's okay, maybe their family doesn't like to watch TV, leave it to me!" Ji Ming took care of her with a bad complexion, and quickly patted his chest to assure: "I'll go down later to test it out, play by ear, you wear it Cover it with a mask."

The eldest lady turned around on the car for a while with one hand, and put on a pair of frame glasses as if by magic, and then put on the fluffy hat she wore when they met, she suddenly looked bookish.She glanced in the rearview mirror, and hesitated to ask the people beside her for advice: "Look, I'm still different from when I was recording the show, right?"

It's really different, without makeup and filters, the young lady who didn't show her age is now as alive as a high school student, very young.Xia Wanmu propped his head and looked at it for a long time, then pondered: "Hmm...it doesn't look like it."

"Don't worry, sister Xia, I'm reliable in my work, trust me!"

Ji Mingzhao winked at her triumphantly, and slowly stepped on the brakes.Not far away stood the three-story brick and tile house that had appeared in the photo. It was getting dark, and two boys, one big and one small, were playing with each other with bamboo poles in the yard. When they heard the sound of the engine, they all went here looked over.

Santana's old body came to a standstill amidst a burst of trembling. Xia Wanmu put on his mask and watched nervously as the eldest lady got off the car and slammed the door confidently. After a distance of more than ten meters, she raised her voice and shouted:

"Children, come here, my sister will ask you for directions."
