The filming location of the program crew was in a remote small village. It took two hours to get to the destination by taking a train and then a bus.
The place was remote and there was not much modern development. At first glance, the villages were full of adobe houses. The best house belonged to the village chief. The three-and-a-half-story red brick house was rented by the program crew for the staff so that they could take a break with the host.
But even the best house was not comparable to the hotels in the city.
Brother Glasses said to everyone: “The shooting conditions are quite difficult. We will try our best to complete the shooting as soon as possible and go back as soon as possible.”
The staff said: “Director, don’t we have to wait for a rainy day to shoot? I looked at the weather forecast and it may rain the day after tomorrow.”
Glasses Brother nodded: “Then everyone pack your luggage. The screenwriter and I will go out for a walk first to find out the situation.”
“Okay!”
Since Zhou Wenyan’s company sponsored a wave of money some time ago, it was now the largest sponsor of the program team. The staff, of course, had given up the best room for them.
After unpacking their luggage, Shen Dongqing and Zhou Wenyan went to the village for a walk.
The name of this village was “Shouling Village”. It was said that the ancestors of the villagers were tombkeepers. However, due to the changes of the times, many classics had disappeared, so the current generation of villagers did not know where the tomb actually was.
An old man vowed: “We must definitely have a big tomb here, and everyone will be rich by then.”
Shen Dongqing and Zhou Wenyan walked side by side on the dirt path. He looked sideways at the people beside him and whispered: “It looks like a game copy.”
Zhou Wenyan: “Huh?”
Shen Dongqing: “Isn’t this just like the copy in the game?”
Remote village, dilapidated houses, nagging old people…
Looking at it this way, it was really very special. Like a country theme about tomb legends.
Shen Dongqing missed the days in the game world a little bit, and really wanted to go back and play again.
Game: No, you don’t.
Fortunately, this idea was dismissed by Shen Dongqing as soon as it came up. Was it because the video games outside were not fun, or was the food not delicious?
Shouling Village was not large, with only about thirty households in total. It took them half a day to wander around. Shen Dongqing bought a bottle of copycat Coke at the small shop at the end of the village. When he came out, he saw a sneaky figure jumping around the corner.
Shen Dongqing pulled Zhou Wenyan’s arm.
Zhou Wenyan understood and the two of them followed.
He was a man in his thirties, with dark skin, wearing a dirty jacket and a hat. He seemed to be walking on unoccupied paths.
He lowered his head and hurriedly walked, going further and further off the road, and finally left Shouling Village and entered the woods at the back of the mountain.
Zhou Wenyan squeezed Shen Dongqing’s hand and said silently: “Not from this village.”
The man didn’t notice that anyone was following him. When he entered the forest, he became carefree and whistled towards the inside.
When the whistle fell, a few more people appeared in the forest. They were dressed similarly and were all dirty, as if they had just rolled in the mud.
“Second brother, how is it? Where are those people from?” asked a man with a beard.
The person who was just inquiring about the news in the village was the second brother. He said: “They are from the program team. They came to film a program and there is no conflict with us.”
“They came to film a program?” The bearded man frowned, “Why is it such a coincidence? We just discovered the entrance to the ancient tomb, why are there so many people here?”
After hearing this, Shen Dongqing and Zhou Wenyan looked at each other.
Ancient tomb.
There really was an ancient tomb here.
The group of tomb robbers chatted for a while and then walked deeper into the forest.
Shen Dongqing wanted to follow but was held back by Zhou Wenyan.
“They have guns.” Zhou Wenyan lowered his voice.
This place was different from the game world. What they were facing were not ghosts but people. Compared with ghosts, they were more uncontrollable, not to mention that they had weapons on them, so it was better not to take risks.
If it were before, Zhou Wenyan would definitely not have thought so much, but now that he had a weakness and someone who he worried about, he was naturally more cautious than before.
Shen Dongqing didn’t insist on going but thought of a compromise. He raised his hand and clicked, and the accumulated fallen leaves were blown away. After the fallen leaves dispersed, a vague figure appeared in front of him.
“Go, follow them.”
The female ghost nodded, floated over, and landed behind the group of tomb robbers.
Shen Dongqing and Zhou Wenyan returned to Shouling Village.
The staff of the program team asked: “Where have you been?”
Shen Dongqing carried the bottle of copycat Coke: “Walking around for a while.”
The staff did not think much and reminded him: “This area is a bit desolate. It’s best not to wander around, otherwise it will be bad if you encounter wild animals.”
Shen Dongqing automatically substituted a concept: “Can we hunt them?”
Staff:…
He said with difficulty: “Generally, they are protected animals and cannot be eaten.”
Shen Dongqing looked a little disappointed: “Oh…”
The man with glasses over there said hello: “Dongqing, let’s shoot two scenes first -“
Zhou Wenyan took his Coke and said: “Go ahead.”
The program team raced against time, and on the first day they arrived, they asked the village chief to appear in their shoot and asked him about the past of Shouling Village.
By the time the shooting was over, it was already evening. The folk customs here were simple and most of the young people had already gone out. Since only the elderly were left here, they maintained a daily schedule of rising with the sunrise and sleeping with the sunset. There was no light in the village at eight o’clock, and every household was getting ready for bed.
After taking a bath, Shen Dongqing changed into pajamas and lay on the wooden bed playing with his mobile phone. Halfway through playing, there was a sudden thumping sound from the window.
Zhou Wenyan came over and opened the window, and a figure floated in.
The female ghost gestured at Shen Dongqing.
It followed the tomb robbers and found that they had dug a hole in a certain place, and it looked like they were about to dig into the cemetery below.
Shen Dongqing played the game intensely and asked, “Is there really a tomb here?”
The female ghost nodded.
There was a large tomb here, which ordinary people could not find due to the Feng Shui arrangement. However, the Yin Qi leaked out of the tomb, and the female ghost could roughly tell where it was thanks to its grace.
Shen Dongqing: “Can you take us there?”
The female ghost looked embarrassed, but finally shook her head.
No, the things inside the tomb were too vicious. Nobodies like them would be torn into pieces if they got close.
Shen Dongqing finally cleared the game, put down his phone, and said to Zhou Wenyan: “I want to go.”
Zhou Wenyan looked at him.
“I think this place is very familiar. I must have been here before.” Shen Dongqing tilted his head, “Maybe, this is my tomb.” Time had passed for too long, and Shen Dongqing had no memory at all about what happened during his lifetime. He only remembered that there were many precious funerary objects placed in his tomb. If he took them out, he would become a rich man.
So he must go back to his tomb to see.
Zhou Wenyan almost doted on him: “Okay.”
