13. Variation
With impatience, after the three of them said goodbye to Li Fukang, they took the program team straight to Xiaoshan, Hangzhou, Li Fukang's hometown.
"Great! This clue is much more reliable than what Shen Tujia said. That well must be hiding some secret! In the car, Huo Yu was excited.
There is no doubt that on this issue, Su Tina couldn't see Huo Yu so excited, she poured cold water very rationally and said: "Impossible, let's not say whether Li Fukang's words can be believed, even if what he said is true, there are big doubts, one, he hasn't seen it himself." Second, the dragon in the old man's mouth may only describe a natural phenomenon, not a dragon in the biological sense, otherwise it would not be possible for everyone to be so calm. ”
Huo Yu didn't want to deal with Sutina.
However, Song Wenbin was very interested in this and asked, "Natural phenomena? ”
"That's right, I've also looked up a lot of information these days, and in some watery areas of Jiangsu, people will call the rare natural phenomenon of waterspouts dragons." Sutina held up a finger and spoke eloquently.
Huo Yu was a little unbearable, she said: "Don't look at me studying sports, but I still understand common sense, the place where the waterspout appears must be open water, okay, can a fucking well also have a waterspout?" ”
I really can't explain it, but give me a moment and I think I can! Sutina said firmly, and as she spoke, she took out her mobile phone and began to look up the information cracklingly, trying to find the scientific basis for the appearance of water vapor at the mouth of the rainy patio.
Li Fukang said he heard the cow barking. Song Wenbin voiced his doubts.
"That's easy to explain." "There are a lot of cattle in the countryside, especially in the past, it was normal for every household to have a cow to plough the land, so it was easy for Li Fukang to hear the cow's cry," Sutina said. ”
Song Wenbin thinks about it, this is indeed the reason, he used to go back to his hometown with his parents and uncle to worship his ancestors during the Chinese New Year, and there are indeed many cattle in the countryside.
"What you said Li Fukang doesn't know?"
Huo Yu retorted: "He, a person living in the countryside, can't tell whose cow is barking, if it's just a cow barking, can he bring this thing out alone??" ”
"I don't know about this, you can call him again."
Huo Yu was not convinced, and really went to call.
Su Tina and Song Wenbin said: "Brother Song, although we are nominally looking for the dragon, we must define our personality for this behavior. ”
"Personality?"
Song Wenbin thought to himself that this was a new statement, and sure enough, it was different if he had gone to college.
"How to characterize?"
"This time, we are looking for some kind of scientific explanation for why there is fog at the wellhead." Sutina said solemnly: "It's not to pursue some kind of anti-science and anti-gravity dragon creature. ”
"Whew, take off your pants and fart." Huo Yu sneered beside him.
"Oh~"
Song Wenbin, the religious leader, suddenly realized that this layer of armor was very thick, and he said with satisfaction: "Approaching the science show." I know, when I was a child, I saw why the sow screamed in the middle of the night, and the water monster appeared in the pond! ”
"Exactly!" Sutina said with relief.
"Okay, we'll find out when we go investigate." Song Wenbin said.
The vehicle quickly drove to Xiaoshan, and following the navigation, the program team came to Li Fukang's hometown. When Li Fukang said that he was born in the countryside, Song Wenbin thought that this place would be relatively dilapidated, but when he came to the field, all he could see were villas and neat factories.
When they got out of the car, stepped on the hard, soft asphalt road, and looked at the rows of tall buildings in the distance, some unrealistic fantasy burst like a bubble.
"Dragon... Probably not... Here's it..."
Song Wenbin hesitated.
How much I looked forward to it before, how unhappy I am now. Huo Yu pouted and said, "Li Fukang is playing with us, this place doesn't look like a village at all!" ”
"This is Xiaoshan, and it also belongs to Hangzhou."
Sutina reminded in a whisper.
"Damn!!"
Huo Yu shouted, "It's better to go to Fuyang to find it!" ”
"Let's find that well first." Song Wenbin said helplessly. It's all here, and the show will definitely still be filmed.
When the three of them arrived at their destination, the sense of loss barely recovered. It should be Li Fukang's hometown for some years, and the local government, from the perspective of protecting historical relics, has preserved some of the old buildings and streets, and also promoted them as tourist attractions.
Lijia Ancient Town.
Song Wenbin looked at the sign at the entrance of the attraction.
This feeling is like saving up money for a long time to buy a lottery ticket, and I didn't touch the first prize, but I didn't touch it anyway, thank you for your patronage.
"Why don't we ask the locals where the dragon well is located?"
Huo Yu asked Song Wenbin.
Before Song Wenbin could speak, he heard a loud horn near the street.
“…… Now, the well that we see is called the lock dragon well, it was built in the Yuan Dynasty, it has a history of 700 years, it is said that the year's waterlogging is serious, when Zhang Sanfeng Zhang Zhenren passed by here, the evil dragon who made waves in this place was detained in the well and got the name. ”
Hearing the voice, the three of them looked at each other, and each could see the inexplicability on each other's faces.
They followed the sound to the place where it came from.
It turned out that a tour guide was taking a group of middle-aged tourists wearing yellow hats to visit Lijia Ancient Town.
The tour guide told the tourists the origin of the name of the well, and several middle-aged women sat at the mouth of the well, holding their mobile phones with selfie sticks, scratching their heads and posing for selfies.
After filming, they followed the large army, holding small flags, and passed past the film crew with a smile.
After the group of tourists left, the three of them walked in front of the old well called Suolongjing, and there was a small sign next to the well - municipal protected cultural relics. There is also a bubble noodle packaging bag next to the municipal protected cultural relics, and a small pink card with the number of a female college student written on it.
Song Wenbin picked up the card and drank the bag, speechless.
I didn't touch the thank you for the patronage, but I did touch a coupon.
"Hahahahaha~"
Sutina on the side was already laughing so hard that she couldn't straighten her waist.
"That's it? That's it? ”
Huo Yu sat on the edge of the well that had just been sat by his aunt and still had residual warmth, rubbing his hair in annoyance.
"The dragon lives here, it's too buried."
Sutina sneered mercilessly.
Song Wenbin looked at this old well that was not big or small, crying and laughing, if he still had one percent of his thoughts before he came, then now he can almost conclude that he was played by Li Fukang's old B. He still has a little conscience, and he didn't prostitute in vain, so they brought the goods and gave them an appearance fee of 100,000 yuan. It's just that this amount of money is already considered charity for the fame of Song Wenbin and the three of them today.
Huo Yuteng stood up suddenly.
"No way!"
She stubbornly said, "I have to find someone to ask!" ”
"Who are you looking for, looking for a tour guide or looking for Zhang Sanfeng."
Sutina laughed.
Huo Yu didn't answer, she walked to a commissary near the wellhead with a serious face, the owner of the commissary was about 35 years old, and he was watching Korean dramas with melon seeds at this time, with a loveless look.
"Boss."
Huo Yu shouted.
"Huh?" The boss didn't look back.
"Is what the tour guide said true?" Huo Yu asked.
"What's that?" It is estimated that no one has ever asked such a question, so he glanced at Huo Yu more.
"That is to say, Zhang Sanfeng locked the dragon in the well."
"Hahahaha~"
The boss was amused after listening to it, and he said: "That can be believed, not to fool tourists, but don't say it, if all children come, there must be a few who can believe it." ”
"So it's all fake."
Huo Yu asked sadly.
"It's not that it's all false, it's just that you can't verify whether this kind of statement is true or false. I said that my grandfather also served as the commander of the Nine Gates, do you believe it? ”
"But I've heard that when it rains in the well here, there is a mist of water, and the old man will say that the dragon is coming." Huo Yu still didn't give up.
"Oh, it seems like that. I've heard my dad talk about it, but it's all the old calendar, and I've never seen anything when I'm so old...... Wait a minute......"
The boss saw the photographer with the camera at the door, looked at the people in front of him, and said, "Aren't you the one who?" How many people specialize in traveling abroad? ”
"Exactly!"
Sutina generously admitted.
"Holy!! Big star!! ”
The boss was shocked, and quickly stood up, at a loss: "No, you want to drink something, eat whatever you want, take whatever you want......"
"We're not bandits!!"
Huo Yu was speechless and said, "We came here to ask you about this well. ”
"Ah, this well is a long story, to say that it was still the Ming Dynasty, there was a Zhang Sanfeng Zhang Zhenren, seeing that there were many floods here, it was the demon dragon who made waves here, and the real people took pity on the people, so the great spell detained the demon dragon and locked it in the well, so the wind and waves subsided, and the wind and rain were smooth......"
The boss looked at the camera as he spoke, and his professionalism was not inferior to the tour guide just now, or even better.
"Alright, alright, alright."
Huo Yu hurriedly interrupted the boss's talking: "We are a real show, don't come to that, I heard that there is a dragon in this well before, how much do you know, if you don't know, is there any old man around here who knows?" ”
The boss looked embarrassed, he scratched his head, and said, "If you had been here a few years ago, there might have been a few old men around here who didn't die and might have known about it, but now...... It's changed too much here, and there may be some who haven't died, but they may all have moved to a nursing home in the city, and whether they are conscious or not is another matter. ”
After a pause, the boss spread his hand: "But I guess even if you find those old men and ask, it won't help, even if what they say is true, now you have seen this well, in fact, that's it, let them blow out flowers, this well can really grow a dragon, I don't believe it." ”
Huo Yu's face darkened, indeed, even if she found the old man, the old man said that there was a dragon, it was just that the old man said that there was a dragon. But this time they came to find evidence, and verbal words cannot be used as evidence.
After leaving the commissary, even Sutina didn't joke about Huo Yu anymore, but just comforted her: "If you don't have it, you won't have it, it's normal if you don't have this kind of thing, and it's not right if you have." ”
Song Wenbin saw that Huo Yu was really sad because there was no dragon, and he also comforted: "Yes, let's go back if we don't have it, we won't shoot this show, haven't we found anything many times before, and it's nothing if we don't find it this time." ”
But Huo Yu was only sad for a few seconds, and then she took a deep breath, cheered up again, and said loudly: "I'm going to go to the well to have a look!" ”
The trace of distress that Song Wenbin had just raised was gone, "I'll squirt you to death with a mouthful of salt soda!" He roared angrily: "You think this is filming Journey to the West, go down to the well and see, how can you go down and see!" ”
Huo Yu was surprised: "What? We've even gone down to a few hundred meters into the sea, what's wrong with the well? ”
Song Wenbin shut up and refused to talk about it.
"That's... How do you go down? Hang you with a rope? Sutina asked tentatively, "You are also a well-known host, and you are hanging down the well with a rope, which doesn't seem to be very good." ”
"It's just a well, we don't have to go down in person, wouldn't it be OK to send a drone down?" Huo Yu quickly came up with a solution.
Song Wenbin and Su Tina had no objection to this proposal, Huo Yu wanted to explore the well, and it was a safe way, so they had no reason to refuse, but this kind of thing was a bit ridiculous to explain.
After making a decision, soon the colleagues of the film crew found a drone, and a group of people gathered at the mouth of the well, staring directly at the dark hole under the well, and the passers-by all cast puzzled eyes on them, not knowing what kind of plane this group of people were doing.
With the drone buzzing into the well, Song Wenbin's heart gradually gave birth to a trace of expectation.
What if?
What if the fuck you shoot something that doesn't exist in reality?
"There's something!!" Wei Ning, who controlled the camera, suddenly became excited.
"What!!" Huo Yu hurriedly leaned his head over.
Sutina was faster than her, and she looked skeptical: "Is there really something?" ”
"That's right! That's a lot of garbage! ”
Wei Ning said.
Under the illumination of the drone lights, the scene at the bottom of the well is unobstructed, there is no so-called dragon, not even water, the well has long been dried up, and the bottom of the well is nothing more than a thick layer of garbage, packaging bags, pesticide bottles, and discarded clothes.
