Chapter 20: It's time to break your leg
The fear in the boundless darkness seems to be enough to swallow up all stubbornness and pride.
Cardamom doesn't know how long it has been, and neither hunger nor thirst compares to the darkness that consumes her all the time.
She slowly lowered her feet from her chair, as if stepping into a bloody abyssal maw, each step was difficult, and every step exhausted all her strength.
"Bang bang!"
Cardamom touched the door, tired and weak, leaning against the door, ho-ho panting.
"Miss Bean." Dacheng opened a three-finger-wide gap in the iron door.
A faint light came in a little, allowing Cardamom to breathe.
She took a deep breath, "Dacheng...... Whew...... You tell Murong...... Whew...... I know wrong. ”
"Miss Dou, please wait a moment, I'll go and tell Mr. that I'll let you out with Mr.'s permission."
"Thank you. Wait...... Wait, don't close this window. ”
Dacheng was a little worried about Cardamom's body, hesitated for a moment, didn't close the window, and walked away quickly.
Cardamom slid down the wall next to her to the floor, looking up at the silent sneer that came through the small window.
Murong, you are so ruthless.
After a while, there was the sound of footsteps outside the door, and the iron door was opened with two sounds, and the light penetrated completely.
Cardamom watched the light spread from her fingers to half of her arm, and couldn't help but gently scratch it in the void with her hand, as if she had died once and was reborn.
"Mistaken?" Murong walked in and stood to look at her.
Cardamom's whole body seemed to have been fished out of water, covered in sweat, and her hair was soaked with sweat and stuck to her cheeks.
Obviously looking so embarrassed, she smiled, "Got it." ”
Mu Rong frowned slightly and looked at her without speaking.
Cardamom raised her arms, "Carry me out." My legs were weak and I couldn't stand up. ”
Mu Rong still looked at her, and the two looked at each other.
One person stands in the light, but the backlight cannot see the emotions on his face and eyes.
One sits in the dark, but his eyes are bright and his expression is clear at a glance.
Mu Rong bent down, and his strong arms ran through her back and the crooks of her feet, knocking her up horizontally, "You don't know what's wrong. Cardamom, every time you admit a mistake, you have no intention. ”
Cardamom smiled lowly and nestled in his arms without retorting.
"Do you know what you look like right now?"
"What?"
"A puppy overboard." Mu Rong said: "I have already warned you not to go to the water's edge, but you don't listen to it and want to go by yourself, you fall into the water and flutter and shout for help, poor and hateful, I can't help but want to break the disobedient paws." ”
"It's the head that doesn't obey, and the claws are too wronged." Cardamom lowered her eyes, "And, don't you know, dogs can swim?" ”
"That's why she needs to break her claws, completely breaking her illusion that she thinks she can swim."
Is this what it means to break her legs?
Cardamom raised an eyebrow and didn't speak again.
Mu Rong took her back and took her directly to the bathroom to give her a bath and change her clothes. The question of whether to leave or stay was not mentioned by either of them.
On the third day, Cardamom's two suitcases were put into the trunk, and Dacheng drove her to the crew.
"Dacheng, you go to the station and put me down, I'll take the car by myself."
"Miss Dou, Mr. asked me to send you to the crew safely."
Cardamom sighed and turned her head to look out the window, "Okay, I'm not embarrassed." ”
The car drove on the highway and arrived in a neighboring city three hours later.
The crew of "First First Love" rented an abandoned school on the outskirts of the city, and after renovating the scenery, it became a brand new school.
It is estimated that the crew's funds are quite limited, and all the actors can't even live in a guest house, so the crew directly built a temporary house in a big shed, which is where the entire crew stays.
Cardamom asked Dacheng to put her on the side of the road at a distance, and he pushed two suitcases to find the crew according to the positioning sent by the assistant director.
"Is it Cardamom Sensei?" A young man in his thirties ran over quickly.
Cardamom nodded, "I am, may I ask who you are?" ”
"Teacher Dou, hello, I am the life assistant of all teachers, my name is Duan Xiaobing. I'll arrange your food, lodging, and transportation. Duan Xiaobing smiled and stretched out his hand, "Teacher Dou, let me carry the suitcase, the road here is a little bumpy, and the suitcase is not easy to drag." ”
"I'm in trouble."
"No, no, it should be." Duan Xiaobing carried the two suitcases, the smile on his face was very friendly, and his fingers didn't know whether it was unintentional or intentional when he took the suitcases, and his fingers swept over Cardamom's fingertips.
Cardamom raised her eyebrows almost invisibly and glanced at him.
Duan Xiaobing seemed to be unconscious, but he still spoke enthusiastically, "Teacher Dou, the location of the crew here is relatively remote, and the accommodation conditions are not too good, so take care of it." ”
"It's okay, I often run with the crew, sometimes I shoot locations, and I'm already very happy to have a tent to live in. And even if you want to buy something, you don't have anywhere to buy it, and you don't even have a mobile phone signal. Cardamom smiled, "Our crew is here now, and it's still convenient for anything." ”
"Thank you, Mr. Dou, for your understanding." Duan Xiaobing looked grateful, "We have prepared a barbecue party in the evening to pick up the wind for all teachers, and Teacher Dou must participate." ”
"Of course."
"Teacher Dou, this is the room you live in, I'll put the suitcase in for you."
"It's too much trouble for you, Xiao Duan, I'll do it myself." Cardamom stood in the way of the room without a trace, reaching for the suitcase.
"Everywhere, that's what I'm supposed to do." Duan Xiaobing put down his suitcase with a smile, "Teacher Dou, the bathroom is built next to the accommodation, and there is a room downstairs for boiling water, you need to take a bath and go downstairs to fetch boiling water." If it's not convenient for you, you can call me. ”
This is very suggestive, and sure enough, the moment of touching hands just now was not unintentional.
Cardamom smiled, "Not for the time being, I'll pack my luggage first." ”
The smile on Duan Xiaobing's face faded by two points when he heard this, "Teacher Dou is busy first, and then I'll pick up the others." ”
"Good work."
Duan Xiaobing nodded and went downstairs, the smile on his face was completely gone, "Phew, what the hell, and pretending to be a high-end shelf with Lao Tzu." ”
