48. Heavy rain
"Still didn't answer?"
Bo Jinxi nodded.
Zhang Kun secretly took a deep breath, today is Zhou Huai's birthday, originally Bo Jinxi had planned to come over to celebrate him, but he didn't expect that a very important negotiation from the company would delay the time. After this negotiation was completed, it was already afternoon, and it was at least a six-hour drive from the negotiation site to the mountainous area where Zhou Huai was filming, but Bo Jinxi did not hesitate to come over.
Before he left, his secretary made a special call to remind him that there would be heavy rain in this area tonight, and it was not safe to drive there late at night, but Bo Jinxi was unmoved. Thinking that he must have been physically and mentally exhausted after talking for nearly five hours of negotiations, because he came by plane and didn't even bring a driver, and it was really dangerous for the temporary driver to drive alone for six hours in this situation, Zhang Kun planned to go with them, and he could change shifts with the driver, and it was not easy to get sleepy when chatting with multiple people.
Zhang Kun took his eyes back and drove intently. This section of the mountain road is dark and rugged, and it is raining heavily and the view is blocked, which is easy to cause traffic accidents.
He drove for more than two hours, and at this time he was a little sleepy, so he chatted with the co-pilot's driver brother: "This heavy rain looks like it can't stop for a while." ”
"yes, I said it was going to be the second half of the night." The driver's brother looked at the heavy rain outside the car window and was a little worried, so there must be a heavy rainstorm tonight, and when he took the order, he thought that the remuneration was high, and now he was worried about safety when he was on the road. It has not rained so much for many years, and this mountain road is not easy to walk, in case there are any dangers along the way......
He quickly shook his head, trying to get rid of the bad thoughts in his mind.
Bo Jinxi, who was in the back seat of the car, dialed Zhou Huai at this time, but he still turned off the phone, and dialed Shen Jia, but no one answered.
Zhang Kun glanced at Bo Jinxi from the rearview mirror again: "Jinxi, you don't have to worry, it is estimated that Xiaohuai and they were having fun on their birthday, and they didn't hear the phone." ”
Bo Jinxi still didn't say anything, but turned his gaze to the dark car window.
By the time the three of them drove to the mountainous area where the filming was taking place, it was already nine o'clock in the evening. After Shen Jia took a bath, he saw a string of missed calls and hurriedly replied to Bo Jinxi, and at this time the car was almost at the entrance of the village.
Shen Jia called a few people to the entrance of the village to welcome Bo Jinxi and his party in, Bo Jinxi saw Shen Jia and first asked a few words of hardship, and then asked, "Where is Xiaohuai?" ”
According to Bo Jinxi's meaning, of course, he went to see Zhou Huai for the first time, but Shen Jia's previous actions alarmed the staff in the crew, and Baina was one of the investors in this play, so of course the staff wanted to treat Bo Jinxi warmly, and it was obviously not suitable to propose to see Zhou Huai at this time.
Of course, Bo Jinxi was not very happy, and looking at his expression, it was obvious that he didn't want to talk nonsense with people and went directly to Zhou Huai.
Zhang Kun and Bo Jinxi have played since childhood, and he knew what he was thinking with Bo Jinxi's expression, so he lowered his voice and said to him: "I just asked, Xiaohuai is sleeping after drinking too much, and he can't pay attention to you now that you go over." ”
Shen Jia also echoed on the side: "That's right, Mr. Bo, I heard Brother Zhang say that you haven't eaten much all the way, so it's better to have dinner first." ”
Bo Jinxi was silent for a moment, and finally nodded.
After a few people had a brief dinner, they chatted with the person in charge of the crew. Bo Jinxi's personality has always been cold, but fortunately, Zhang Kun has a lot of words, but he is not cold.
I thought that the rain would stop for a while, but instead of getting smaller, the rain turned into a heavy rain at about 12 o'clock.
After a simple chat, the crew arranged accommodation for Bo Jinxi and his party, the environment in the mountainous area was harsh, and even the relatively best room was a damp.
Although Bo Jinxi has a wealthy family, his living habits have not been arrogant under Bo Mingcheng's strict teaching since he was a child, and he is used to living in any harsh environment, so even if the room is simple, there is no trace of displeasure on his face, which makes the crew secretly relieved.
The crew arranged for Bo Jinxi and his party to live in the front yard, and if they wanted to get to the backyard where Zhou Huai lived, they had to pass through the entire long yard and turn a few roads. Bo Jinxi looked out through the simple window, and saw that the heavy rain outside was still pouring down, thinking that Zhou Huai was probably sleeping heavily at this time, so he thought that he would not bother him tonight, and it would not be too late to see him tomorrow morning.
It's just that......
He subconsciously looked in the direction of the backyard where Zhou Huai lived - he still didn't have a birthday today.
In the middle of the night, Bo Jinxi was awakened by a loud noise, which was different from ordinary sounds, like a dull sound mixed with the impact of a boulder. As soon as he opened his eyes, a blinding flash of lightning streaked across the sky, followed by a rumbling thunder in the sky, and soon a noisy footsteps sounded.
Bo Jinxi immediately sat up, quickly reached out and grabbed the coat on the side, put it on his body, pushed open the door and walked out, only to see a lot of people in the courtyard surrounded by chaos, and all of them looked extremely panicked by looking at the dim sky.
At this time, the door next door opened, and Zhang Kun also walked out, he obviously had just been woken up, and his face was still sleepy. He glanced at the people who were standing at the door and asked Bo Jinxi, "What's wrong?" ”
Bo Jinxi was completely awake at this time, and took two steps forward to grab a little actor who was about to run out and asked, "What happened?" ”
The little actor had obviously just woken up from his sleep, and he looked a little sleepy, and shook his head: "I don't know, I heard that let's hurry up and go outside the courtyard." After speaking, he also gestured to Bo Jinxi: "Let's all hurry up and go out." ”
At this time, a staff member ran towards Bo Jinxi in a hurry, and said urgently: "Mr. Bo, I just called to say that there are signs of a landslide in the village in front of us, let us hurry to the east of the village to gather." ”
Bo Jinxi's driver also walked out of the house at this time, and when he heard the staff's words, he hurriedly said, "Then I'll go pack up my things." ”
"There's no time," the staff grabbed the driver: "Hurry up and run out, if you encounter a mudslide for a while, it's too late to run." ”
Bo Jinxi's face changed when he heard the words 'mudslide', and he was about to rush to Zhou Huai's backyard, but the staff hurriedly stopped him: "Mr. Bo, you can't go over there, once the landslide is the first to rush over there!" Come this way with me! ”
Zhang Kun was also anxious and sweating: "There are still people living in the backyard......"
"Don't worry! Feel relieved! The staff ran out while pushing Bo Jinxi and Zhang Kun: "I was notified just now, they walked through the back door and met with us outside the road in a while." ”
Bo Jinxi couldn't let go of Zhou Huai at all, and he ordered them to 'you go first' and ran in the direction of the backyard, who knew that at this time, the people who lived in the room hurriedly ran over to this side, and the surging flow of people pushed him to the direction of the door and staggered a few steps, and Bo Jinxi tried to rush over several times but was blocked back.
Zhang Kun grabbed his arm and said in a low voice: "Didn't you listen to the staff, someone from Xiaohuai's side informed us that we will go out first, and then gather with Xiaohuai and them at the entrance of the village in a while." ”
Seeing that Bo Jinxi didn't listen to the dissuasion, he simply worked with the driver to take him out with a push.
Bo Jinxi's heart was beating non-stop at this time, and he couldn't let go of Zhou Huai in his heart, so after he got out of the door, he quickly took out the phone and dialed Zhou Huai, and there was no response after several rings over there, and his face became ugly little by little.
He kept dialing Zhou Huai's phone in his hand, and his eyes quickly swept towards the crowd around him, trying to find Zhou Huai's figure. Who would have thought that the people who had been in the courtyard ran out one by one, but there was still no shadow of Zhou Huai.
At this time, Zhang Kun also panicked, reached out and grabbed the collar of a staff member living in the backyard, and asked hurriedly: "What about Zhou Huai?" ”
"No, I didn't see it!"
At this moment there was a sudden muffled sound from the north, a pause for a few seconds, followed by a deafening loud noise, so loud that the group of people standing at the intersection stood in fright and stupid.
The crowd was silent for less than two seconds, when suddenly a villager shouted, "Not good! It's a mudslide! Then the crowd exploded as if it had been ignited in an instant, and began to shout and scurry around.
"Don't run around! The landslide is coming from the north to the south, running in both directions! ”
"Hurry!"
"This way! Go this way! ”
The driver subconsciously grabbed Bo Jinxi's arm: "Mr. Bo, run!" Come on! Unexpectedly, the next moment, Bo Jinxi suddenly broke away from his hand and ran towards the backyard without looking back.
*******
Zhou Huai opened his eyes suddenly, and a loud sound frightened his heart to almost stop beating, and he sat up subconsciously.
He had drunk too much wine, his head was still dizzy at this time, and his consciousness was even more unclear, and he opened the curtains completely by instinct: it was dark and dreary, the light was very dim, and there was no one in the courtyard, but the opposite window was lit up in pairs.
It's just ...... Thunder?
But it's also too loud.
Zhou Huai put down the curtains, feeling that his head was still a little heavy and wanted to make up for sleep: Recently, the crew has been catching up with the schedule, and there is very little sleep every day. In addition, I was poured wine again tonight, and I felt so heavy that I didn't have any strength.
He plunged into the pillow, and his mouth was still fragmented: I hope that I can recover after a good night's sleep, and don't delay tomorrow's filming...... Reading and reciting it, Bo Mingcheng's face appeared in his mind, and the past events of his childhood also surfaced one by one when he was half-asleep and half-awake. These scenes passed through my mind like movie clips, and finally even Bo Jinxi's face was revealed.
Just when Zhou Huai was about to fall asleep, there was a sudden sound of "bang" on the door, which frightened him to open his eyes suddenly, and the next moment he was stunned.
“…… Elder brother?! ”
