Chapter 45: Fend for yourself

The assistant director and the scene reporter hurried to see the list of actors, and there was really a person named Xia Rui.

Because Xia Rui was temporarily replaced, the two are not very familiar with each other. Besides, the role of the junior is not heavy, so they didn't pay much attention to it.

But now it seems that this person named Xia Rui really can't be underestimated, and he has made Mr. Qiao pay so much attention!

"Let's ask someone to find it right away, and we'll go to ...... right away," the deputy director and the field secretary hurriedly called someone after saying it.

Sister Zhao didn't dare to slack off, so she followed them to find it.

Assistant Zhang said cautiously: "Mr. Qiao, I'll make a call to see if she hasn't arrived yet......"

With Qiao Rui's consent, Assistant Zhang dialed Xia Rui's phone, but it was prompted that the phone had been turned off.

He was in a hurry, dialed it again, and it was the same prompt.

He said to Qiao Rui helplessly: "Mr. Qiao, her mobile phone is turned off." ”

Qiao Rui's face darkened suddenly, this girl shouldn't have turned off the phone in order to escape half of the meal money.

Assistant Zhang pondered for a moment and spoke, "I called her before, and she said that on the way here, could it be that she got lost......

Get lost?

Qiao Rui pondered for a moment and said, "Assistant Zhang, you continue to look for her here, if you see her, call me......"

After speaking, he said to Xiao Wang, the driver next to him: "Go drive." ”

Xiao Wang hurriedly walked behind him.

Assistant Zhang was confused. This Qiao Rui seems to be quite nervous about Xia Rui, does he really care, or does he have other intentions?

*

As for Xia Rui, she was already too tired to do it.

Although she is not a pampered girl, now that it is dark and her phone is out of battery, she can't even find her direction.

Before, she was fine, she could follow the road, but now that Matsuyama Station has arrived, there are several forks in the road ahead, which way should she go?

She tried to look, but there were trees everywhere, and it was so dark that she couldn't see any hotels or anything like that, not even a single building.

Forget it, it's better to feel it.

She found a relatively spacious path and walked forward.

But the more you walk this road, the more remote it becomes, and it seems that it is still going up. Oops, is it the wrong way, she is getting more and more flustered.

Unexpectedly, her heart panicked, her feet slipped, and she fell down the slope and rolled down.

Her shoulder ached, like she had hit a rock.

By the moonlight she looked closely, it looked like a ravine. But fortunately, the ditch is not deep. So she endured the pain and tried hard several times, but in the end she failed.

Helpless, she could only give up and sit on the stone to catch her breath.

Only then did she find out that she had lost her phone.

She thought about it, and it was probably when she fell. So he looked around by the moonlight. But I was sweating profusely, but it was still unsuccessful.

She sighed.

Sure enough, it was a disaster, not a single line. Now she still owes Jiang Yun the rent, but she didn't expect to lose her mobile phone now, which is really unlucky.

Now, she can only wait for dawn and ask for help from passers-by.

*

Qiao Rui's car had already reached the main road.

"Mr. Qiao, there are two other roads here, you can see ......" The driver Xiao Wang looked at Qiao Rui.

Qiao Rui groaned.

I didn't see Xia Rui all the way over just now, so I guess she really went wrong.

The other two roads are wide and narrow, he thinks that Xia Rui is not stupid, he should choose the wider one. However, he was still not reassured.

"Xiao Wang, you take the left road, and there is news to call me......"

Xiao Wang was stunned for a moment, "What about you, Mr. Qiao, aren't you together?"

"I'll take the ...... on the right"

Xiao Wang was stunned again.

Although the road on the right is more wide, he is the president, and he goes alone in such a remote place, what if something happens?

"Mr. Qiao, this ......"

Qiao Rui glanced at him, a little impatient, "Hurry up, don't delay......"

Because the two roads are not very wide, it is estimated that it is a little difficult to enter the car, and he is worried that he will not see Xia Rui in the car, so he chooses to walk on foot.

Seeing that he was so persistent, Xiao Wang naturally didn't dare to say anything, and the two left separately.

I just got two flashlights from the crew, so it's still very convenient to walk.

Qiao Rui carefully looked at both sides all the way, for fear of missing any clues.

He actually regretted it in his heart. If she didn't order such an expensive dish, Xia Rui wouldn't be so scared that she wouldn't even dare to go back.

He himself wondered, if something really happened to this Xia Rui, he should be happy in his heart, but why did he rush here in a hurry?

He stopped, took a cigarette from his pocket, and lit it.

The picture of the third brother lying on the bed with a haggard and lifeless face came to mind.

After a few sharp puffs, he threw away the cigarette butt and stomped it out with his foot.

He's crazy.

So I turned around and walked back.

But at this moment, he faintly heard someone shouting: "...... Help me...... Help me...... Anyone?"

The voice was very weak, and he couldn't tell if it was Xia Rui's girl's voice. But intuitively, he thought it was.

He hesitated, but his steps did not stop.

The voice was fainter, and it was gradually inaudible.

But the voice lingered in his mind, and his feet suddenly became heavy.

Finally, he turned around and started running back. He ran fast, as if he was afraid that someone would stop him from changing his mind.

He didn't think much of it at the moment, only thinking that he was going to save her, and the thought became stronger and stronger as he ran.

However, he didn't hear Xia Rui's shouting anymore, he could only slow down, worried that he would run past.

*

Xia Rui didn't know that someone was approaching her at this moment.

Just now, she just screamed a few times casually with a fluke mentality, and her voice was particularly bleak in the empty suburbs, and she was a little scared when she heard it.

She laughed at herself, forget it, if she didn't recruit anyone at that time, it wouldn't be worth it to recruit the wolf. In this wilderness, there may really be wild beasts.

She is not a timid person, but after all, she is a girl, and she is still quite scared when she stays alone in the dark suburbs.

I've seen it in movies before, and at this time, there will always be a hero who will appear and save the heroine from a dangerous situation, so what about her, will she have such good luck today?

Thinking like this, she was amused by such a stupid idea, and she was not making a movie, how could such a bloody plot appear?

So when she heard someone call her name, she thought it was a hallucination.

She laughed at herself, was her own thoughts too strong, and she even had such an illusion.

“…… Xia Rui...... Xia Rui......"

She was stunned, this illusion was too real.

She quickly pinched herself.

Hurt. It seems that this is not an illusion.

Someone really came looking for her. She stood up excitedly.

"Well, I'm here, I'm here......" she waved her hands, forgetting that she was in the ditch and no one else could see her.

Her shoulder hurt, but she still tried to wave her hand.

Qiao Rui was pleasantly surprised, he was sure that it was Xia Rui's voice.

Impatiently, he ran in the direction of the sound.

"Hey, I'm Xia Rui, I'm here, can you hear me?"

Only then did he realize that there was a ditch under his feet. Because it is overgrown with weeds, it is not easy to see if you don't pay attention to it.

He shook the flashlight and asked loudly, "Xia Rui, are you down there?"

Xia Rui was so excited when she saw the light, she replied with all her might: "Yes, I'm down there, I fell into the ditch......"

"I'll pull you up with my hand now, can you come over some?" called Qiao Rui.

Xia Rui suddenly felt that this voice was so familiar. But at this moment, she didn't care about this, and replied: "I have an injury to my shoulder, and I can't use my strength, so I can't climb up." I can try ...... though."

She used to lean against the wall and looked up, but she couldn't see anyone's arms.

"I can't see your hands. She was a little disappointed.

In fact, Qiao Rui had already stretched out his hand on the ground, but because there was a distance and those weeds, Xia Rui couldn't see it.

He looked around, there was a branch next to it, he picked it up and stretched it out to the ditch, "You grab the branch and climb up, I'll pull you up......"

Xia Rui did as he said.

However, the sharp pain in her left shoulder made her unable to exert her strength at all, and she was sweating profusely, but she still couldn't go up.

"I'm sorry, I hurt my left shoulder, and I can't use my strength......" Xia Rui said with some apologies.

After a while, the person above finally spoke, "It's okay, I'll come down." ”

I only heard a "bang", and someone slipped down from it.

The flashlight in his hand fell to the ground.

Xia Rui went over and picked it up and shot at the person in front of her.

"Why are you?"

Xia Rui exclaimed.
