Chapter 36: A Deal for the White Rabbit
"Is this a human meal?"
Yang Ting opened the lunch box, and there were a few pieces of white pork belly and two green vegetable leaves in it, and she opened her mouth to say this. Su Ning and her crew lined up for a long time at the venue before they came out to receive a boxed lunch.
The two of them squatted together and ate in a simple shed where there were no people. This is a shooting point dozens of kilometers away from the city, simple, empty, obviously when I first got off the plane I still feel quite warm, but here it is like the surface of Mars, the yellow sand is flying, empty and indifferent.
A very beautiful girl in the distance, walking over with high spirits, at first glance she was not an ordinary crew, with no shortcomings in her facial features, and she exuded the message of "I am a star".
When I walked over, I didn't even look at them.
Seeing her go away, Yang Ting began to complain: "It's a member of Charming Bird, it's not a big hit, idol groups like them who rely on their faces and figures are actually quite miserable, most of the money goes to the company, but after seeing the world, you still have to put on a score, and you have to maintain exposure for no works, and generally the family needs some foundation to survive." ”
Su Ning got up and covered the messy lunch box she ate, walked to the trash can opposite, and came back and said, "What are you boiling?" People are much better off than we are. ”
Yang Ting shook her head, "What's good?" Believe it or not, she can't even afford a nanny car, and she has to share an assistant with two other people, and she is called to accompany the big bosses to drink, eat and sing when she has nothing to do. After the youth meal is eaten, if you haven't found a long-term stable meal ticket, you can only go to the periphery. ”
The two returned to the studio as they spoke, saying that it was a studio, but it was just an open-air scene, like a grass stage troupe. As far as the eye could see, there was a lonely wind whining on the endless yellow sand, the sky was high, and the earth was heavy, majestic and quiet.
At this time, even Su Ning had to think that choosing this place was really a bold and imaginative decision. During the rehearsal, everyone was probably infected by the environmental atmosphere, and the singing was unconsciously mixed with a little poetic desolation. Especially Li Han.
He already has an inexplicable melancholy temperament, and his voice is simple and dignified, which makes people feel that a picture has been drawn in their minds in the song, and his throat seems to be choked.
"He's going to be on fire." The caterpillar stood next to Su Ning and said a word after watching the rehearsal.
When they were eating together in the evening, a group of little girls in the stage surrounded Li Han with glowing eyes, and Su Ning couldn't help but think of Peng Tian more than a month ago, when Peng Tian first came, they were also so excited. It seems that men and women are on par in liking the new and hating the old.
"You know what?" Yang Ting threw a bombshell at her, "He has a 7-year-old illegitimate child. ”
Su Ning almost squirted out of the bland seaweed egg drop soup that Su Ning just drank, "Really fake?" ”
"Everyone in the circle knows that he has been wandering around since he was twenty years old, and he should have suffered a lot. Later, there was an extra child for some reason, and as for who the child's mother was, he didn't say it, and no one knew. ”
Su Ning finally understood why Li Han made people feel uneasy, why he always gave her a pitiful illusion, because he had a child, because he still had love outside the worldly norms.
This man, who looks no more than thirty years old, has an old soul in his body.
After being full of wine and food, everyone went back to the room to rest, Su Ning couldn't sleep in bed for a long time, opened the curtains, and found that there was half a moon hanging in the sky, and the desert was still dark, but with a layer of silver light. At this time, Li Han sent her a WeChat message, "Hey, I want to go to find fossils, do you want to go with me?" ”
"Are there baby turtles and shells?"
"Maybe, let's try it."
Su Ning jumped up from the bed, put on an ankle-length dress, grabbed a shawl and wrapped it around her body, and wore a pair of slippers on her feet, this is all her equipment.
"Alright, let's go!" Su Ning got into the off-road vehicle, full of joy, like when she couldn't sleep when she was a child, she jumped and jumped on the mattress, a kind of happiness that only belongs to children.
"You look like a kid sneaking out of kindergarten."
"You look like a child trafficking fraudster."
"Then you're still willing to go with me?"
"If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger."
The car drove quickly on the sand, and there was nothing to be heard around but the wind, and the dead earth lay there like a giant, hideous and menacing.
"Let's not go too far." Su Ning was a little uneasy.
"Look, Devil's Town." Li Han said.
Because the moonlight was bright enough to see a few small black dots slowly magnifying in the distance of the horizon. In fact, it was a large mass of tall sand scattered across a radius of twenty or thirty miles of wasteland.
"Do you really want to go in?" Su Ning said softly.
"Yes, a little further down the side is where I heard there are fossils."
"It's almost eleven o'clock, and the ghost is going to hit the wall." Su Ning bit her lip, there was always something wrong in her heart.
"Superstition, where did the ghost come from?"
At last they finally drove in, the moon behind them, dragging a long shadow.
After driving for about ten minutes, there was a low ground in front of him, the color was dark red, the car slid down a large slope, Li Han stopped the car, and went down to look, Su Ning also got out of the car, and touched the red ground, it was actually wet, not sand.
"I'll go to the front and take a look, don't you wait for me here." After speaking, Li Han walked forward. He walked farther and farther away, turning around and waving at her from time to time, "It's okay here." ”
At this time, Su Ning saw that something was wrong with the soil behind him, and the color was darker, and he was about to open his mouth to call his attention. But he had already stepped into a large swamp of mud, and the wet mud reached his knees, and he was taken aback, and when he looked back, he stumbled a few more steps, and the mud soon reached his thighs, and he struggled a few steps, as if he were about to fall.
Su Ning stood there dumbfounded, her whole body was frozen, she wanted to wake herself up, all this was a dream, but the scene in front of her was true! The pain in her arm, it was all in a matter of seconds.
Seeing that he was about to be swallowed up by the mire little by little, Su Ning saw that there seemed to be a protruding stone about a meter to his left, and hurriedly shouted, "Over there, there's a stone there." ”
He saw it too, and struggled to get over it, and the mud sank deeper, almost to his waist. Su Ning looked at him from afar, and the nerves in his whole body were about to break, as if he was in a nightmare that he couldn't wake up.
Seeing that he was holding the protruding big stone with both hands, Su Ning woke up and immediately ran back to the car to call for help with his mobile phone, but in the signal bar displayed on the mobile phone, there was not even a pitiful grid, and he couldn't even make a distress call here.
She ran back to the quagmire to see Li Han, for fear that if she didn't pay attention, he would fall into it completely. He was silent, staring blankly at her.
