30, ritual

After that bizarre conversation between Song Wenbin and the African man Babu, the film crew received an amazing salary boost.

Although Babu did not give up the idea of kidnapping the director and cinematographer for a high ransom, this did not prevent them from giving the director a decent environment. They brought some bread and water to the cinematographer and director, and did not beat them for no reason.

It's just that the bread looked dirty and dusty, and the director didn't want to eat it, so he threw it to the black man who was guarding him. The black man got the bread and devoured it.

After listening to Song Wenbin's words, the black Babu went out with a group of people.

Although Sutina had a stomach that she wanted to ask Song Wenbin, she didn't dare to ask, for fear that some black people could understand Chinese. And Song Wenbin felt physically and mentally exhausted after the negotiation, and he began to sleep directly on the ground.

Su tina couldn't see that Song Wenbin could fall asleep in this kind of place, she sat next to Song Wenbin and kept staring at the director who was on the phone.

The director had his phone confiscated and had to use a dilapidated PHS to call the seals' higher-ups, but when the seals' higher-ups asked where they were, the film crew couldn't tell anyone, only that they had been taken to a very remote church more than 100 kilometers away from Lagos.

When Song Wenbin woke up from his sleep, it was already early in the morning. He was dragged by a group of people and thrust into a pickup truck, and then the blacks here drove their own cars into the jungle with the kidnappers in the dark night.

After half an hour of wandering, he was brought to a broken wooden house in the wilderness, presumably a deserted plantation, full of withered sugar cane roots, and unusually desolate.

The car stopped in front of the abandoned wooden house, and Babu stood in front of the wooden house, opened his arms to Song Wenbin, and welcomed: "Song, I have found the materials you said. ”

Song Wenbin rubbed his eyes, and a stench made him wake up from his dazed state in an instant. It turned out that in that abandoned house, there was a large pile of brown substance and a few black and white bloody butts, and the stench came from the black and white buttocks.

Song Wenbin said these things that he didn't understand at that time, just to delay a little time and drag the people from the embassy to come to the rescue. didn't expect that just a little sleep, this black brother actually found all these inexplicable materials.

"So fast..."

Song Wenbin muttered.

"Of course, this is Africa, and it's hard to find wildlife or wildlife." He said proudly, "How! When are we going to start the purification ritual! ”

Song Wenbin understands that his work is not over at the moment, and he can't show his stuff. Immediately, he walked to the pile of things that the flies hated with a serious face, and pretended to check it around. Then, he wiped away the smoked tears and said, "Is it just you?" What about the dancing priests? ”

"My people have passed, and they will be there before dawn."

Báb swore by it.

Song Wenbin saw Babu's sworn appearance, and thought to himself that he was afraid that he would be unhappy if he dragged on time with this guy at this time. This followed his words and said: "Very good, as long as you can drive away the shadows, your family's fortune will continue to rise, not only your son's achievements, but also your career, your family's career, will improve rapidly." ”

"Great." Babu couldn't wait to say, "Then what exactly should we do?" ”

"Let your men get some water."

Song Wenbin said, "I'm going to recite some spells for you to ward off bad luck. ”

The Báb did so.

Soon, a large bucket of water came to Song Wenbin.

He said to the Báb, "We need to go to the rooftops." ”

"To the roof?"

Báb was puzzled.

"Heaven is above, hell is below. Evil things stay below, pure things are above, are you going to be above or below? Song Wenbin asked.

Babu suddenly realized, and his excitement was beyond words, so he could only pat Song Wenbin's shoulder vigorously and keep giving him a thumbs up.

The Sutina people on the side were already numb, she had never seen such a well-spoken guy in her life. Looking at the others, the people in the film crew are probably all numb, and they can only stand behind Song Wenbin sluggishly, like puppets.

But Song Wenbin did not intend to stay with them, and when Babu's men set up the ladder, he climbed directly onto the roof with Babu, without even bringing an interpreter.

Babu was apparently very pleased with him, and as soon as he got on the roof, he asked Song Wenbin what to do.

Song Wenbin gestured for him to throw away the gun, and at this moment he seemed to be a priest, with a serious face.

Without saying a word, Babu threw the AK47 to his men below.

Song Wenbin tugged at the hem of his clothes again and motioned for him to start undressing.

Babu immediately began to undress, until there was still a pair of underwear left, Song Wenbin said, "It's okay, it's okay!" ”

Although Babu could not understand Song Wenbin's words, he could understand what he meant.

Song Wenbin lay on the stinking roof, crossed his hands, and made a lying down position.

The Báb crossed his hands and lay down.

Song Wenbin began to dip his hands in water, letting the water drop on the black Babu's head, and muttered as he dripped: "Plant cotton, plant cotton, plant cotton, Buddha bless you to grow cotton, Jesus bless you to plant cotton, Allah bless you to grow cotton, go to North America to plant cotton, go to Australia to plant cotton, plant cotton, pick cotton, eat watermelon, don't criticize your crotch, if you don't obey, you will be beaten......"

I heard Song Wenbin planting cotton rhythmically.

Feel the gentle drops of water slip down your forehead.

Babu felt as if his whole being had been purified, and he couldn't help but smile from the bottom of his heart.

At this time, the rain that had stretched for a day ended, and a huge moon and countless stars quietly appeared from the sky. A group of black men stood on the ground, staring at the two on the roof like a fox.

Su tina looked at the black people beside her in awe, couldn't help swallowing her saliva, and couldn't help but quietly move to the director's side and asked, "Director Bao..."

The director looked at the roof without looking back, and whispered, "You say." ”

"Song Wenbin, he..."

Sutina hesitated, but couldn't help it: "What did he do before?" ”

The director was silent.

"Could he be real..."

Sutina gestured: "It's really some kind of fortune-telling apprentice..."

The director is still silent, and to be honest, he is also very skeptical about what kind of monster the male guests the program team found for him.

At this time, the photographer who had been translating for Song Wenbin said reverently: "I hate that the teacher is my idol." ”

"Who is the teacher who is disgusted?"

"Misophogyny, his screen name."

Sutina: .......

"I like this guts so much."

The photographer said softly: "I've been a fan of him since he did the live broadcast." ”

Sutina was shocked and whispered, "Are you a fan of him!?" ”

The photographer ignored Sutina and watched the events on the roof as if he were admiring a work of art, completely oblivious to the fact that he was in Africa and had been kidnapped.

"Who's the mini camera on?"

The director couldn't help it and asked in a low voice.

A photographer on the side secretly stood up, took out a pen from his arms, handed it to Bowley, and said, "Give." ”

The director was very satisfied and asked in a low voice, "Is there any filming on the road?" ”

"It's always on, but I don't know how it works."

Said the photographer.

Sutina didn't know how many times she had been stupid today. She watched in amazement as the director put the pen holder to her ear, pointed the pen to the roof, and filmed.

"You're all crazy..."

She muttered.

......

Below the roof and the house are two worlds. On the roof, Song Wenbin didn't know that he had recited the cotton mantra hundreds of times, and the straight Babu fell asleep.

At this moment, he sat next to the sleeping black man, but he did not feel relaxed at all. The black man in front of him was about the same height as him, but his muscles were bulging and the blood vessels in his arms were thick, so he didn't look like a good stubble. Although his neck was exposed in front of Song Wenbin, he didn't dare to do anything. First, there were all armed bandits below, and second, if there was a fight, he would definitely not be the opponent of this black man in hand-to-hand combat.

It would be nice if Huo Yu was here.

As soon as the thought came out, Song Wenbin was taken aback by his own thoughts.

Then he secretly hated it in his heart.

If it weren't for that crazy woman, how could I have fallen into the situation I am now, and it would have been over if I had paid some money earlier, maybe I would have been in Lagos by now.

Song Wenbin looked at the moon in the sky, the moon was already tilting to the west, and dawn might be coming soon. I don't know if Huo Yu has contacted the embassy, if he does, will they be able to find it in this barren mountain and wild place?

As the minutes ticked by, Song Wenbin heard the sound of a car engine coming from the depths of the dense forest. The black Babu who was lying under Song Wenbin sat up and startled Song Wenbin.

He stared at the car lights in the depths of the dense forest for a few moments, breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Song Wenbin: "It's the priests, the priests are here." ”

Song Wenbin couldn't understand what he was saying, but seeing him laughing, Song Wenbin's heart gradually sank, it was definitely not from the embassy.

Sure enough, several old pickup trucks drove out of the woods and stopped in front of the wooden house.

Several barefoot old men in exaggerated and colorful robes were helped out of the pickup.

The Báb jumped straight from the roof, waved his hands, and shouted something.

A little brother brought a torch on the side, and Song Wenbin hurriedly climbed down from the roof.

Torches soon lit the foul-smelling hay-filled hut, and a roar of fire rose in the clearing. One of the priests, who had already been commanded, began to dance madly around the burning wooden house, their limbs twitching, their eyes rolling, and they looked like they were in a state of flux.

The roaring light of the fire illuminated everyone's faces, and Babu stood beside Song Wenbin and praised, "After your ceremony, I feel a lot more relaxed, it's really amazing." Do you know? My mother, after knowing that my son was not doing well, kept trying to let those damn witch doctors hit me on the ass with big stones, and it had been going on for half a month, but it didn't work. ”

As he spoke, he also pulled open his pants and showed Song Wenbin, and sure enough, there was a large bruise on his buttocks.

Song Wenbin: ......

"When I go back this time, I'm going to bury that damn guy alive with a stone, his methods are simply too primitive and backward compared to your methods."

Song Wenbin smiled, a little reluctantly.

However, at this moment, a little brother walked up to Babu and whispered something in his ear, and Babu's face changed slightly, and he whispered to the younger brother.

Although Song Wenbin seemed to be calm, he actually observed Babu's face all the time, and his nerves remained highly tense. Seeing that his face changed slightly, his whole person suddenly became nervous. Due to the pressure, he slowly took a cigarette from his pocket and lit it.

Soon, the younger brother left.

At this time, Babu suddenly asked Song Wenbin: "There were seven cars that collided with our checkpoint before, but we only brought back six cars, and one car is missing, do you know the owner of that car?" ”

The pressure increased suddenly, and the confusing unknown and reality made Song Wenbin not know how to answer, and each answer may point to a different result.
