Chapter 15: The Phantom of the Wax Figure
I went home with my creditor sister dejected.
When she entered the house, she walked around the room, looked around and said, "You live here by yourself?" It's a big house! ”
I shook my head and said, "I'm sharing a house." That guy went abroad with his girlfriend. I paid half a year's rent in advance and didn't return it, so I'm alone at the moment. ”
The girl's eyes lit up after hearing this, and she said with a smile: "Hey, then I'll just live here!" ”
I was startled: "Huh? How can you do it, you are a big girl living with me? This, this is not appropriate, right? ”
The girl raised her eyebrows, corrected me and said, "What kind of cohabitation? It is a shared room. Be mindful of your words. ”
"Anyway, we just live together!" I said, "I don't care, it's all about you, a girl......"
The girl walked up to me and looked me up and down with big watery eyes, which made me feel a little hot.
"I don't think you look like a bad person, so it's decided! Come, help me carry my luggage to the back room. With that, he turned and went into the back room, leaving me behind me with a stunned expression.
I still haven't eased up a little, I went out for a walk, and out of thin air there was an extra cohabiting beauty and 20,000 yuan of foreign debts, which is really a bit bloody.
I took my things to the back room, and by the way, I also took the red envelope that the crew sent me a few days ago.
"This is five thousand, I will pay you back first. I'll pay back the rest slowly. ”
The girl looked at it, pushed the money back, and said, "Let's pay two months' rent." ”
"Didn't you tell you that the rent had already been paid? The landlord didn't come for half a year. ”
"Then you will give it to him in half a year."
It's really hard to guess what this woman thinks, and she doesn't want to pay her back. Wait, is she a drunkard who doesn't mean to drink and has a crush on me?
Our young man is dignified, except for the poor, there is nothing wrong.
The girl said, "My name is Bai Xi. What about you? ”
"Peace." I replied.
"Oh? It's rare to have a flat surname. ”
I nodded and asked, "You're coming to Beijing alone?" ”
"Yes, I want to change the environment and live alone for a while."
This girl is eighty percent out of love.
"By the way, where are you from?" I asked again.
Bai Xi raised his eyebrows and said, "Of course I am such a beautiful little fairy from heaven!" ”
I blinked, nodded and said, "Nacheng, fairy, rest, I'm on my knees." ”
……
A few days later, early in the morning, I received Lao Zhang's WeChat.
He gave me a phone number and said that the crew was hiring, and he recommended me to come over, and it was still a horror film crew.
I thank Lao Zhang from the bottom of my heart.
After packing my bag, I said hello to Bai Xi.
"Yo, the actor is taking over the job again?" She hurt me.
I smiled slightly: "Well, there's a letter from Hollywood, let me audition." ”
"Why do you always like to act in horror movies? Don't you know how to damage yang energy? Bai Xi pouted.
"You don't understand, this kind of crew is well paid, because many people are not happy to go." I changed my words, "Make more money to pay off the bill!" ”
Bai Xi listened and rolled his eyes at me.
According to the address, come to the film and television company, and the scale here is not small. Office buildings, warehouses, and studios are all available.
When I saw the assistant director surnamed Wang, as soon as I mentioned Zhang Shuhai and Director Zhang, he nodded hurriedly, it seems that they have a good relationship.
saw the title posted at the door of the crew, called "Wax Puppet Soul Snatcher". At this moment, a truck was parked outside, and the prop master was beckoning someone to move the prop wax figure.
I pointed outside and said to Director Wang, "I'll go and help!" ”
Director Wang nodded hurriedly and said, "Okay, that's hard for you!" ”
I walked to the gate and said to the prop master, "I'm new here, let's move it for you!" ”
The prop master nodded, and I went with a few of them to the warehouse to move the wax figures.
In other words, these wax figures are quite real, there are men, women and children, and they are lifelike.
The wax figure is hollow and does not weigh much. I'm fine with both in one hand. But the prop master said to be careful not to break it, let's hold one at a time.
When I moved to the sixth one, I felt that the wax figure in my arms seemed to be heavier than the ones I had just moved. Look at the statue of a woman, short and thin, there is no reason to be heavier than other wax figures.
I had a horror movie about a wax museum that I had seen before, and I thought to myself, I can't have a corpse hidden in it, right?
Then I laughed at myself again - if there was a dead man in it, it would be more than that.
However, I found that this wax figure was of better quality than the previous ones, and the eyes looked more vibrant.
A few of us moved all the wax figures into the warehouse, set them up and walked out. I walked at the end, and I don't know if it was a hallucination, but I heard a soft sigh behind me.
Well? I jerked my head back, but there was no one else in the dark warehouse except for miscellaneous items and freshly placed wax figures.
I shook my head and walked out.
The prop master turns around and locks the door. The moment the door of the warehouse was closed, I saw that the wax figures immersed in the dark shadow seemed to shake slightly.
I frowned, what's going on, is it another hallucination? Or maybe it's a wax figure that hasn't been held steady!
Even though I thought about it, I was still a little uneasy in my heart.
When I came home in the evening, I saw that the meal had been put on the table. Bai Xi sat at the table.
I felt a burst of emotion in my heart.
Since I was a child, I have never felt the warmth of home, and I don't know what it is like for others to wait for me to come home for dinner. Seeing this scene at this moment, my heart was in a trance for a moment.
In a trance, I felt that Bai Xi had prepared a meal and was waiting for me to come home for dinner.
I was stunned for a moment, and then I heard Bai Xi call me: "Ping'an, why are you in a daze?" ”
I came back to my senses and was amused by what I had just thought.
I walked over, sat down at the table, and said, "Yo, the little fairy is really good at cooking, and she can cook so many dishes!" ”
Bai Xi chuckled and said, "Where, the takeaway I ordered." ”
Oh, I said these plates don't look like they are from my home, they were delivered from a restaurant.
Also, such a young lady, how can she cook without ten fingers getting mud?
"Well, why don't you eat it? Hurry up and eat it! As I spoke, I still expected her to say, "I'm waiting for you."
"Uh, I didn't find the chopsticks." Bai Xi looked at me with big eyes and said.
I felt a chill in my heart and was a little depressed.
But I know that I really think too much, how can I have any extravagant hopes for a Bai Fumei who has just met for a few days!
I brought the dishes and chopsticks, silently handed her a set, and then began to eat.
Bai Xi seemed to notice the change in my mood, and asked while eating, "What's wrong with you, unhappy?" ”
I shook my head, not wanting to say anything.
"Are you from Beijing? Do your parents live far away? She asked.
I shook my head again.
"Don't talk about me, talk about you!" I broke the ice, "Why come to Beijing?" ”
"There's no particular reason, I just want to stay away from my parents."
"Don't cherish what you get! The warmth of home is the most precious. I said quietly.
Bai Xi looked at me and said, "I really can't see it, you are such a prodigal boy, and you are quite homely!" ”
I paused, with a hint of sadness in my tone, and said slowly, "Because I don't have a home." I grew up in an orphanage. ”
It took me a moment to react, glaring at me and asking, "What does it mean to be a wandering boy?" ”
