Chapter 139: City of Miracles

A few decades ago, when the interior of China was ruled by the Red Regime, due to a series of social upheavals, the people once became poor, and hundreds of millions of people could not even get food and clothing.

In addition, a great man with foresight and wisdom in the Red Regime took power, and finally put things right, and after learning from the pain, he carried out drastic changes in the political and economic fields, one of which was an attempt to establish a "free trade zone", and the chosen location was called Shencheng.

In the following decades, relying on the inclination and support of national political and economic policies, as well as the unique convenient transportation conditions, the city like a small fishing village has become the economic, scientific, technological, industrial, financial and shipping center of China in one fell swoop, and has won the reputation of "China's commercial window".

Moreover, while the economy has developed by leaps and bounds, Shencheng has integrated its own traditional culture of Wuyue in the south of the Yangtze River with the diverse cultures brought in by immigrants from all over the world, and has formed a unique Shanghainese culture in a very short period of time.

Three or four hours after the end of the call with Ahn Tae-hee at Seoul Airport, Zhang Muzi took a plane across the ocean and set foot on this magical land.

It was already more than nine o'clock in the night when he landed from Dongpu Airport, Zhang Muzi, who had come to the mainland of China for the first time, stood on the tarmac of the airport that could be called the largest in Asia in terms of passenger capacity, breathed in the warm air of early summer, looked around with the magnificent buildings that were brightly lit, showed a look of surprise on his face, opened his mouth wide in admiration, felt out the phone in his pocket, and dialed Zheng Meili's number after turning on the phone.

A few 'doodoo...' ringtones came out of the microphone and was connected, followed by Zheng Meili's hoarse and panicked voice, "Muzi is you, have you arrived in Shencheng?"

"Of course it's me, I've arrived in Shencheng, and I just got off the plane," Zhang Muzi deliberately said in a relaxed tone: "We'll be able to meet in a while, aren't you in Xipu District, it should be not far from Dongpu Airport, right?"

While talking, the airport bus that picked up the passengers stopped in front of the passenger plane from Seoul to Shencheng, and Zhang Muzi followed the flow of people into the bus, while listening to Zheng Meili on the phone reply: "Do you think Shencheng is as small as 'Yuanbei', Dongpu District is still nearly an hour's drive from Xipu."

By the way, when you take a taxi, you will directly tell the driver that if you can get you to XJTLU within an hour, you will pay twice the fare, so as not to be detoured, the taxi driver in Shencheng is very cunning, and you can know if you are a foreigner when you hear the accent. ”

"You said that the taxi drivers of 'Yuanbei' don't go around the road, they are only fierce and fierce," the tone of standing on the bus and hearing the talk between the dead friend and himself became a little relaxed, Zhang Muzi exaggerated and said: "I once called a taxi to the 101 building at the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall, and was rounded for two hours, and finally I almost called the police..."

In this way, he kept talking, he got out of the airport, casually stopped a taxi and traveled through the bustling streets of Shencheng for more than 50 minutes, and finally arrived at the address of the neighborhood that Zheng Meili said.

Stepping out of the car, Zhang Muzi found himself in an old town, and everywhere he looked, in addition to the new clusters of street lamps, there were all ancient three-story buildings with spires and Western roofs, and old houses in southern China with brick and stone structures, and the new city where the skyscrapers he had just seen were lined up one after another, just like two worlds.

"It's like a boring literary film in an old movie, and there are often sets. A thought flashed through his mind, he poked his head and looked at the house number of the building on the side of the road, determined the direction, and after advancing a distance of three or four hundred meters, he saw a Chinese fast food restaurant with a tofu sign appearing in front of him.

More than ten o'clock in the evening is just a prelude to the beginning of nightlife for the red men and women in the bustling city, but in the eyes of the ordinary people living in the old city, away from the hustle and bustle, this time is almost time to wash, go to bed, and end the busy life of the day.

Therefore, when Zhang Muzi pushed the door and walked into the fast food restaurant, there were only a few four or five customers inside, and he easily found Zheng Meili wearing a white T-shirt, a baseball cap, and a pair of black-framed glasses on the bridge of his nose.

"Big star, dressed so plainly, wearing hats and glasses, so afraid of being recognized, it's really tiring to be famous. Walking quickly to sit down in front of the dead friend, he smiled and said on the phone: "Okay, I'm here, don't be afraid, tell me what happened?"

"Muzi..."Looking at Zhang Muzi's unusually familiar but contradictory somewhat unfamiliar face, the exhausted Zheng Meili's eyes were red, tears flowed down uncontrollably, choked for a while and felt that there were thousands of words to say in his heart, but he didn't know what to say for a while, and finally said softly inexplicably: "Why do you grow a beard, it's really ugly." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Muzi blinked in astonishment, put away his mobile phone with a smile and said, "Zheng Meili, your head is funny, I turned down my date with my girlfriend and flew thousands of miles to find you by plane overnight, is it to listen to you comment on my beard."

What the hell is going on that makes you scared like this?"

"It's because people in the crew have been dying in the past ten days, first of all, the two drama staff were smashed by the temporary archway and broke their necks;

Then a stuntman hung Weiya (tightrope) from a height of fifteen meters and fell directly into the air;

Immediately after that, two more drama agents had car accidents, the car door couldn't be opened, and they were burned alive in the car," Zheng Meili was silent for a while, and said in a trembling voice: "It's finally the actor's turn in the last two days, and at noon today, I watched the supporting actor playing against Jisoo be pierced by the steel bars that fell from the set, and his head was penetrated..."

"Miri, are you making a movie or going to the battlefield, you died in two or three weeks, well, two, one, two and one for a total of six people, can the director, producer or something continue to shoot, didn't you think of a way?" Zhang Muzi interrupted the words of the dead friend in a daze.

Zheng Meili shook her head with a wry smile, and stammered and said fearfully: "How can you not think of a way, when the first two drama workers were stoned to death, the producer invited the master to come to suppress the evil, and also rearranged the pig's head and sheep's head to let the crew worship Guan Gong again, but it was useless."

Now that hundreds of millions of funds have been smashed in, it is impossible to stop, and since you have provoked those 'dirty things', is it not dangerous not to shoot, no one can guarantee it. ”

"Now that you're broken, stop thinking about such horrible things. Seeing the look of horror in the eyes of the dead party, Zhang Muzi, who was born in a palace temple family, frowned, and reached out to take the paper cup containing the drink in front of Zheng Meili.

Turning his faith, he summoned the three hundred and sixty-five Qingfu Zhengshen, the Tai Sui Zhengshen who specializes in driving away evil spirits and warding off evil spirits, and raised two fingers, drew a few empty strokes on the juice, and handed it back to the dead party, "Drink it and sleep well, I will naturally deal with other things tomorrow." ”

"What, did you draw a talisman, I've only heard of talisman water, but I haven't heard of talisman juice," Zheng Meili took the iced drink, and kept muttering suspiciously in her mouth, "Besides, you didn't even burn the talisman paper, so you drew it twice with your fingers, is it really spiritual...", but in fact, she drank it all without hesitation.

When the juice entered her throat, she suddenly felt a sudden shock in her head, and her heart suddenly became relaxed like a boulder falling to the ground, and she couldn't help but shout in surprise: "Wow, it's really Lingye."

Muzi is really a 'teacher' now, what kind of university are you going to, it is fate to go back to 'Yuanbei' to inherit the family heirloom palace and temple as soon as possible. ”

"Okay Zheng Meili, my fate is not to be a god stick in the future, don't be poor, you are frightened and sad, external forces can only cure the symptoms, and nourishing the spirit is the way to cure the root cause.

Let's go, I'll take you to a hotel, take a hot shower, and get a good night's sleep. Zhang Muzi pouted and said, as soon as he spoke, Zheng Meili's body suddenly froze, and then two pieces of red flew up on her face, she stood up and pinched Zhang Muzi's cheek at a loss and said, "I'm going to die Zhang Muzi, what are you doing with me in the hotel!"

Really, it's only been a long time since I've seen you become like this, how did my girlfriend teach you. ”

"Huh..." Zhang Muzi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then realized that his dead friend had misunderstood the meaning of his words, so he pouted angrily and funny and explained: "You are going to die, how can you think of my words like that."

I think it's more sad for you to sleep alone tonight.,So I'm going to stay with you all the time.,Didn't you say on the phone that you're living with the other members of the 'Missing Girl'.,How can you go back in this case.,Of course, I can only stay in a hotel.,Besides, what does this matter have to do with my girlfriend.。 ”

"Of course it has something to do with your girlfriend, a child who doesn't know anything, and after dating her, she suddenly wants to go to a hotel with a young girl without saying anything clearly, and she becomes so 'blind', how can it have nothing to do with her. Zheng Meili knew that she had misunderstood Zhang Muzi's words, and her ears turned red, but she still said with a hard mouth.

"Okay, it's my fault that what I said is easy to cause misunderstanding," Zhang Muzi didn't want to argue with his friend over a trivial matter, so he smiled helplessly and said: "Then it's up to you to decide what to do next, where will you go later?"

"Of course, I went back to the room that the crew rented for me," Zheng Meili immediately said: "I don't sleep in the same room as the other members of the 'Missing Girl', and besides, Duo'er and Jisoo all know you and know your abilities, I must be very happy to see you at this time now, and I will never be unwilling to live with you." ”

"Then I'll listen to you," Zhang Muzi nodded and said, "But is there a store selling underwear near here, I came too quickly and didn't bring anything." ”

"It's almost eleven o'clock now, except for those 'supermarkets' that are open 24 hours a day in Dongpu and the city center, how can there be any places to sell underwear," Zheng Meili pouted and stood up and said: "If you buy it, it will take two or three hours on the road, which is really not cost-effective, so I'll help you find it later." ”R1152
