Chapter 18 chapter18
In the "castle", surrounded by mounds of different heights and strange shapes, under the feet is cracked loess, and there is a dead silence and no life all around. This dead silence is even more terrifying than the vast expanse of the desert. The latter makes people feel that their vision is vast and suddenly open, while the former makes people feel depressed, as if they can really feel the breath of death.
When Parhati saw that the crew had arrived, he excitedly talked to Naiza in Uyghur, and the two talked and laughed.
Listening to the Uyghur language, which he didn't understand at all, Ye Lingge was full of curiosity.
Director Chen pulled his throat, "I said you two, what are you talking about that you can't be heard?"
Naiza smiled, "Parhati said, the equipment is ready, just wait for Director Chen to come!"
Ye Lingge suddenly realized, "Oh-no wonder I haven't seen Parhati's shadow except for the first day, it turns out that I came to be a porter!
Director Chen scolded with a smile: "How do you speak?"
Ye Lingge immediately opened the topic, "This tent is a few years old!"
Several army-green military tents were lined up, covered with a thick layer of yellow sand.
"I took it the other day. Parhati snorted, and at the end, he added, "It's windy and sandy here." ”
Ye Lingge realized that when the wind and sand were strong, it was just time to start the meal, and a gust of wind suddenly blew in the originally calm valley, and the white rice was covered with a thick layer of yellow sand. Ye Lingge looked at the rice bowl in his hand messily, and was melancholy.
finally changed the map and changed the equipment, and finally could eat a fragrant white rice during filming, which was stirred by the yellow sand.
Seeing that everyone ran into the tent to avoid the wind and sand, Parhati walked over with an apologetic face, "I forgot to remind you, it's better to eat in the tent for dinner......"
Ye Lingge looked at the rice covered with yellow sand in his hand distressedly, and wanted to cry without tears, "You didn't say it earlier......"
Although the temperature in the tent is lower, when filming in the desert, Ye Lingge doesn't like to stay in the tent because the light in the tent is too dark. Although it is relatively hot under the awning, the good thing is that the air is circulating, who knows......
Ye Lingge burst into tears, "Nayiza, didn't you say that there is no wind and sand in summer?"
"As I said before I came, this place is different from other places. ”
Ye Lingge: ......
Ye Lingge took out his mobile phone without hesitation and took a photo of his meal. You can cry to Han Mei when you go back, and you can't prevent this wind and sand from all precautions.
But what Ye Lingge never expected was that this was just a "meeting gift" given to them by Devil City.
The wind and sand soon stopped, and the staff began to display the equipment for filming.
This is the last filming location in Xinjiang, and it is also the high-tide part of the "Desert Maze" volume, after the male and female protagonists follow the clues to the desert, they discover more amazing secrets in an abandoned ancient city in the desert, and a qiē conspiracy is revealed.
The afternoon shooting proceeded in an orderly manner, as usual. But, this is only the calm before the storm.
The wind rose in the middle of the night, and the swift wind shuttled through the castle, and the shrill whistling sound was like the wailing of a wolf under the moonlit night, mournful and terrifying.
Even if he knew that there were no wolves, Ye Lingge couldn't sleep with peace of mind. In the gap of the whistling sound, Ye Lingge could hear a small whimper coming from the darkness.
"Meiqing?!" Ye Lingge called tentatively.
Li Meiqing groped in the dark and pasted it, "Lingge, I'm so scared." ”
Naiza also turned on the emergency flashlight, "So, this place is called Devil's City. ”
The faint blue light illuminated the night, Li Meiqing was still curled up in Ye Lingge's arms and shivering, with tears on her cheeks, like a frightened kitten, "This voice is terrible." ”
The whole tent was swayed by the wind, the stand also made a "creaking" sound, and the sound of "the wailing of the dead soul" from time to time outside the tent pierced the sky.
Devil's Town, worthy of its name.
Ye Lingge gently patted Li Meiqing's back and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, we are here." ”
Naiza also leaned over, "Actually...... It was also my first time spending the night in Devil's Town. ”
Ye Lingge was a little surprised, "In other words, actually, you are also a little scared, aren't you?"
Naiza nodded unabashedly, "It's good that there are people together, otherwise, I wouldn't dare to live here alone." ”
Ye Lingge took out a tissue to wipe Li Meiqing's tears: "Look, it's human nature to be afraid, but there are so many of us, what are we afraid of?"
Li Meiqing hung her head and nodded, took the tissue and wiped it, "But I'm still afraid." ”
There was a commotion outside the tent, Ye Lingge walked out curiously, under the cold light, the blown sand and dust were clearly visible, Ye Lingge grabbed a little brother, "It's all like this, why is it still so noisy?"
The whistling sound of the wind drowned out Ye Lingge's words, and the little brother didn't hear them clearly, and shouted at the top of his voice, "Are you--say-what??"
"I said--don't you sleep so late?" Ye Lingge choked on a mouthful of yellow mud.
"Yes-Chen--Director-Want-Filming-Drama-"
"Ah?!" Ye Lingge thought he had heard it wrong, what was it now.
The little brother explained, it turned out that Director Chen felt that tonight's weather was very suitable for a plot in the script, so he decided to get up in the middle of the night to film.
Director Chen's dedication can only be described in four words, that is: madness.
For the first time, Ye Lingge experienced how strong the legendary wind can blow people up, and in this case, Director Chen actually has to get up and film!
The earth is terrible, I'd better go back to the tent!
Don't tell her anything, are women still afraid of this difficulty, is it human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages?
Obviously, it was only a few steps away from the tent entrance, Ye Lingge walked very hard, he had a lot of kung fu, but he couldn't use his strength at all, so he could only rely on his little bit of kung fu to prevent himself from being blown away by the wind.
The wind direction changed suddenly, Ye Lingge was still blown down by the wind, fell backwards, Ye Lingge rolled on the ground a few times, and rolled back to the tent.
It's really going back.
The little brother who was about to help her was stunned and watched Ye Lingge walk in like this, oh no, roll into the tent, and be messy in the wind alone......
Nayiza looked at Ye Lingge's posture back to the tent inexplicably, "What are you doing here?"
Ye Lingge stiffened a carp, carefully sealed the curtain of the tent, and patted the dust on his body, "The wind is too strong, I can't come back, so I can only use the rolling." "She won't say that she is a woman who can even be blown down by the wind!
“……”
"It was Director Chen who temporarily added the drama, so they are all busy with their work!" Ye Lingge truthfully informed the news he had inquired about.
Li Meiqing was excited, "Add drama?!" Originally, she was still like a frightened kitten, but she was resurrected with full blood in an instant, turning into a hard-working little bee, "I have to help Director Chen." ”
Seeing that she was busy changing her clothes, Ye Lingge immediately grabbed her, "Hey, Director Chen didn't call you, don't go over to join in the fun." ”
Li Meiqing looked a little anxious, and said to Ye Lingge seriously, "What do you mean by joining in the fun, this is originally my job!"
Ye Lingge twitched the corners of his mouth, it turned out that there was not only what kind of master brought out what kind of apprentice, but also what kind of boss there was, what kind of employees, Li Meiqing and her boss Director Chen were the same, dedicated to the point of mourning!
Ye Lingge winked at Na Yiza.
Nayiza understood, and hurriedly admonished, "The wind is so strong outside, be careful that it is blown away." ”
Li Meiqing didn't care at all, and got dressed by herself, "So what?"
Ye Lingge directly added: "Nayiza means that you will be captured by ghosts and become a sacrifice to the wind god." ”
Li Meiqing paused, her expression was scared and cautious, "Don't scare me!"
"I wasn't going to scare you, but if you insist on getting rid of it, I'll have to tell you the truth. Ye Lingge spread his hands out, looking unconcerned.
Naiza also nodded in embarrassment, "According to the ancient legend, the people of this castle angered the gods, and as punishment, the gods turned the city into ruins, so every night, you can hear the wailing of the undead, which is the voice of the undead confessing to the gods. So......" Nayiza paused, looked at Ye Lingge, and added, "Those undead can do anything in order to get the forgiveness of the gods......
Naiza quickly spat out these words, as if her heart was weak, and as if she was afraid of something.
Li Meiqing was really a little scared and hesitated, "But, if Director Chen asks, I ......"
"If Director Chen needs you, he will definitely come to call you, if not, you can stay in the tent honestly!"
The wind didn't stop until almost dawn, and the next morning, most of them were dark and green right now, as if they had made an appointment. Some of them were caused by Director Chen's temporary overtime, and some of them were caused by the terrible wind in the ancient city that he couldn't sleep peacefully.
Parhati was clearly not among them, and like Naiza, he continued to pray on time every day with the most devout heart. Both Nayza and Parhati are devout Muslims.
It's just that today Nayiza looks preoccupied, and can't stand Ye Lingge's repeated inquiries, Nayiza told the truth, "I shouldn't lie, Allah Allah will blame me." ”
"Lying?" Ye Lingge didn't know.
"I slandered the undead. Naiza explained.
Ye Lingge remembered what happened last night, and suddenly realized, "Allah Allah will only punish those who lie for no reason, you are a white lie, I think, forgiving Allah, will forgive your sins." If she hadn't stopped Miharu last night, she would definitely get hurt, you see. ”
Ye Lingge rolled up his sleeves and showed her the abrasions on her arms.
Naiza looked up, her big eyes lit up, "You're right. ”
Tolerant Allah Allah...... Ye Lingge was extremely grateful to Han Mei for giving her the knowledge about Islam before leaving.
Fortunately, she is not a real Muslim, and when she lies, her face is not red and she is not panting.
