28, Dragon Groan
"You didn't seem to have slept well last night."
The next morning, Sutina asked.
"Hmm." Song Wenbin, who had dark circles under his eyes, drank porridge and was absent-minded.
"You didn't sleep well either!"
Sutina looked at Huo Yu, who also had dark circles under her eyes.
"Hmm." Huo Yu said weakly.
"Did you two do anything last night?"
Sutina pretended not to care, but her voice trembled.
"Can you please stop treating others like this?"
Seeing that the photographer was still fiddling with the machine, Song Wenbin whispered a warning.
Sutina kicked Song Wenbin hard under the table.
"Last night, Jiang Lu contacted me. It is said that Duole Media in Yunnan wants to cooperate with us. Huo Yu, who was eating, said suddenly.
"What media?"
"Duole Media, the largest media company in Yunnan." Huo Yu said.
Song Wenbin checked it, and indeed found this company, he did not have any surprises, since they became popular, all kinds of cooperation needs have been overwhelming, whether it is Li Fukang, the propaganda director of the Northeast, or the media company here.
"What's wrong?" He asked.
"They learned the news that we came to Guizhou, and said that it was so close, and they wanted us to stop by to participate in their Songkran Festival." Huo Yu said.
"It was Jiang Lu who contacted you, which means that they are following the path of the seal company, so we ......"
"I'm going!!"
Before Song Wenbin finished speaking, Sutina said loudly.
"Oh my God, Songkran, it must be fun, and there are a lot of people, it must be much more interesting than us going around in circles in this wilderness!!" Sutina couldn't wait to get out of here.
"Hmm...... I'm ...... casually It's all ......."
Song Wenbin is still thinking about the strange things that appeared on the Internet in March last year, and he doesn't care where he is going in reality.
"It's not impossible to go to Yunnan, but I hope we can post a Weibo to warm up. Let's make the Songkran activities over there a little more lively. β
Song Wenbin sighed: "I feel like we are like a good money boy." β
"That's how to be a top streamer!" Sutina said calmly: "Go ahead, there's nothing to do if you don't go, I'm going crazy going crazy every day in this mountain." β
"Then you decided to go?" Huo Yu asked again.
Sutina took out her mobile phone and began to edit Weibo, proving her dislike of dragon hunting with her actions.
Soon, Weibo was sent out through the official account of the Seal Company, and in a very short period of time, it climbed the hot search rankingsβββ Extraordinary Journey will participate in the Songkran Festival.
There are a lot of comments on Weibo, some are welcome, some are repulsive, some hope to see Sutina's wet swimsuit, and some are disgusted.
Weibo was quickly forwarded by many companies in Yunnan, and after a while, a call from the company in Yunnan came.
According to convention, as the man with the most fans in the trio, and at the same time the most respected teacher in the trio, he has always been in charge of contact.
But Song Wenbin's mind was still on the Internet, and after hastily eating breakfast, he handed over the contact task to the idle and bored Sutina, and he closed the door and returned to the room to investigate the mysterious incident collection activity in the forum about last March.
He contacted the posters who posted to solicit material for mysterious events, but some of the software and websites looked quite old, their popularity was sluggish, and coupled with the fact that the post was long, Song Wenbin did not wait for a reply for a while.
It was night, and Song Wenbin, who had stayed up for a day and a night, finally couldn't help but fall asleep, but not long after falling asleep, there was a banging knock at the door.
He opened the door of his hotel room and saw that Huo Yu was standing at the door, Song Wenbin thought of what happened in the Northeast that night, he was completely sleepy, and asked anxiously: "You... What are you doing? β
"Someone heard the dragon groan." Huo Yu said.
"What?" Song Wenbin couldn't believe his ears for a while.
Huo Yu couldn't wait, grabbed Song Wenbin's arm and knocked on Sutina's door.
Su tina hadn't slept yet, and when she saw Song Wenbin and Huo Yu in pajamas at the door, she didn't know why.
"Quick! Come with me! β
didn't have time to explain, Huo Yu was excited, and dragged two colleagues to board the film crew's car.
In the car, Huo Yu handed over the mobile phone to Song Wenbin, Song Wenbin looked down, and it turned out to be a Douyin βββ unknown screams near the Majiaba Reservoir.
In the video, villagers gather at the edge of a reservoir and point their fingers. The person who shot the video was still there saying, "What is this thing calling?" β
"I don't know."
"Doesn't that sound like a dragon is barking?"
"It seems like it's like..."
β¦β¦
Outside the video, Song Wenbin was stunned, they had just looked for this Majiaba Reservoir in the past few days, and there was no trace of the dragon at all, why did they have it today. He listened closely, and did hear something screaming in the video, and the sound was seven or eight points similar to the screaming in the video that the investor showed them.
"Is there really a strange scream??" Sutina swiped the video, and her face finally changed.
"In the past few days, I have been paying attention to the local Weibo and Douyin, and I have to scroll until the early hours of the morning every night before going to bed. I think if this kind of thing really exists, it is impossible for no one to post Tik Tok! No, I really got it! β
Huo Yu was extremely excited, and his breathing was very short.
Song Wenbin repeatedly watched the video several times, the video was posted half an hour ago, and the time it was posted was more than eleven o'clock in the evening, it seems that Huo Yu has really brushed it in the past two days.
Sutina also took out her mobile phone and found this local Douyin, and thought, "Impossible...... It's impossible, how could it be, it's not scientific..."
Having said that, Song Wenbin could see a trace of uncertainty on Sutina's face, and even a little panic and uneasiness.
At the urging of Huo Yu, the film crew's car rushed to the vicinity of the Majiaba Reservoir like an ambulance. The reservoir is deserted, surrounded by only a small village and a steel mill that has been abandoned for an unknown number of years, and soon, the road is coming to an end.
Huo Yu jumped out of the car, ran fast with a flashlight, Song Wenbin chased after him while changing his shoes, and shouted: "Don't run so fast, pay attention to safety!" β
As he spoke, he heard a whistling sound echoing through the mountains and forests. It was indeed not like the sound of any animal, but if you listen carefully, there is a certain sadness to the sound.
But Song Wenbin was puzzled, he looked at the sky, it was the bright moon in the sky at this time, today is a good weather, and tomorrow is obviously a good weather, which is somewhat inconsistent with the description of Li Fukang and others, saying that a good dragon will only appear when it rains? Besides, when he looked at it on the Internet, he thought that the dragon was in the reservoir, but when he came to the field, the dragon's moan came from the mountains.
Could it be that there is still water in the mountains, but they haven't looked for it?
With 10,000 doubts, Song Wenbin and the others rushed to the place where the sound came from.
As the sound became louder and louder, a few figures stopped to watch gradually appeared on the dark mountain road. These people were all old, and they stretched their necks out in twos and threes, staring at the place where the whistling sound came from.
After coming here, Sutina's uneasiness became more and more intense, she stopped and asked an onlooker next to her: "Uncle, do you have a dragon calling here?" β
"I don't know, I don't know."
The old man shook his head and chuckled.
"There really are dragons." The old woman next to the old man was startled and said, "It's nonsense." β
"I don't know, I don't know."
The old man still shook his head.
"Strange thing, that's not what wild boar is called." The old woman said strangely.
"I don't know, I don't know."
The old man shook his head and walked away, leisurely.
In that breathtaking chanting, Su Tina didn't dare to step forward, Song Wenbin didn't care so much, he chased after her. After chasing for a while, they finally caught up with Huo Yu, not that Huo Yu's speed had slowed down, but that she had been stopped. Blocking her path was a local villager, who was carrying a shovel and looked a little fierce.
"Did you hear that!?"
Huo Yu excitedly asked Su tina and Song Wenbin, who had caught up.
Song Wenbin looked at the villager carrying the shovel inexplicably and asked, "You guys are also here to listen to the dragon's chant?" β
"You ask me? What are you doing here? Don't sleep at night! The villager asked sternly.
"Didn't you hear the scream?" Huo Yu excitedly pointed behind the villagers.
"No, what are you doing?" Villagers emphasized.
"We're going to go, we're going to find the dragon!" Huo Yu said loudly.
"I ...... Damn, you can't go there, it's dangerous here. The villagers warned.
"Dangerous?"
"That's right, dragons, Jiao, or something are very dangerous, and they will eat people." Villagers warn again.
"We bear the consequences!"
Huo Yu was already impatient, "Hurry up, get out of the way." β
"No, I can't watch you kill yourself like this."
The villager shouted, "This is not the place for you to come. β
Song Wenbin narrowed his eyes, he sensed that something was wrong.
Huo Yu didn't want to do any more nonsense, time was passing quickly, and at this moment she was getting closer and closer to the answer to the unsolved mystery, if she missed this trip, God knows when she would have to wait.
"Go away!" She mercilessly pushed away the villager who was blocking the way. The guy never thought that this skinny girl would be able to push him more than five meters away and crash into a tree.
"Huo Yu!!" Song Wenbin reprimanded loudly: "I'm sick!" β
Huo Yu was startled, and easily helped the villager who was pushed to his feet. He said in a low voice that he was sorry, but the villager couldn't care about anything at the moment, covered his chest, and shouted with tightness in his chest and shortness of breath: Come on...... Stop them! β
A few more people came out of the woods in the distance, this time Huo Yu was no longer impulsive, she dodged a few times to avoid those villagers, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Stop!!"
Those people chased after Huo Yu and shouted again and again: "I'm calling the police!" β
Song Wenbin didn't know what the situation was, and he was afraid that something would happen to Huo Yu, and he was even more afraid that she would beat people indiscriminately, so he pulled Su Tina to follow behind the group of chasing villagers.
A bunch of people chased me all the way to the place where the dragon's groan came from, and here, the low, long chant was loud and clear to the extreme. It's like a long echo after striking a bronze vessel.
It's just that the thing that made that sound wasn't a dragon.
It was a small bread with a stereo on the van, and several middle-aged men were smoking cigarettes next to the stereo. In the speaker, the voice heard by Song Wenbin was playing.
Seeing this scene, Sutina, who reminded her all the way, burst into laughter instantly: "Hahahahahahaha~"
Huo Yu was panting and pale.
"What are you doing!?" The villagers who caught up were angry: "I don't sleep at night and come to explore!" β
Several men who were smoking around the van saw people coming, and they were frightened and quickly pushed and turned off the speakers. Suddenly, the whole valley fell silent. All that was left was the awkward chirping of insects and Sutina's rampant laughter.
"Dragon Yin....hahahahahahaha..... hahahahahahaha
"Who are you!?" Several men nervously gathered together, facing the trio and the film crew behind them.
"Well... Good... Well..."
Huo Yu was so angry that her hands were trembling, she pointed to the man in front of her and said, "You guys are going to spread this rumor!"
"Rumors?"
Like the cat that stepped on its tail, the man jumped three feet high, and danced excitedly: "Which eye do you see us spreading rumors!?" β
"Then what are you doing here without sleeping most of the night!?"
Huo Yu also roared back excitedly.
The men weren't afraid, and one of them said extremely stiffly, "We're chasing wild boars, can you handle it!?" β
"What kind of wild boar are you driving in a restaurant!?"
Huo Yu couldn't bear it anymore and roared.
By the moonlight, Song Wenbin saw the man in front of him clearly, good guy, it turned out to be the owner of the Longyin Mountain Villa Hotel, and then looked at the other people, basically they have all seen it, either the owner of the nearby hotel or the owner of the hotel, this group of people gathered in the barren mountains and mountains in the middle of the night to play the sound of the dragon's groan, and the purpose was already obvious.
"I can't have some private property when I open a restaurant, this neighborhood is my orchard, I don't drive away the wild boar, the wild boar arches my fruit, you are responsible!" The boss said with a heartfelt voice.
Huo Yu didn't say anything, he just felt like a fool.
Sutina finally laughed enough, and she said to Song Wenbin: "Okay, I've heard enough of Long Yin, and I don't want to listen to it anymore." Now I'm going back to sleep, and tomorrow I'm going to Songkran, and none of you should wake me up. β
After saying that, she shook her head and left, smug and silent.
Song Wenbin saw Huo Yu's chest rise and fall violently, knowing that she had been tricked, and her mood was very bad, so he couldn't help but step forward and put his arm on her shoulder, who expected Huo Yu to open his hand, stared directly at the few people in front of him, and said, "You know what you are doing, be careful of being locked up!" β
Chinese have always been not afraid of threats, she said this, several men in front of her sneered and hugged their arms, "Lao Tzu is to drive wild boars, what do you want?" Call the police. β
Huo Yu really took out his mobile phone.
Song Wenbin couldn't sit idly by, pressed down Huo Yu's hand, and said, "We are engaged in entertainment, not arresting criminals." β
Huo Yu's eyes were red, she stared at the few people in front of her hatefully, and didn't move.
"Leave it to me." Song Wenbin said.
Then, he stood up and said, "Brother, she is a girl from a family, she loves fantasy, and I listened to your poetry in the hotel that day, so seriously." β
The cold and hard expressions of the men in front of them loosened a little, but they were still very vigilant and asked, "Aren't you filming a food show, what are you doing here?" β
"Dude, do you know me?" Song Wenbin asked rhetorically.
"I don't know, what's wrong?"
Song Wenbin took a step forward and said lightly: "I can understand your approach, you specially picked this point to put it, presumably because of the nearby Songkran Festival, the flow of people is very abundant, if you can attract more customers......"
"Fuck, I said, we're chasing wild boars!"
The boss said fiercely: "Dude, are you deaf?" Hurry up and get out of here with your guys! β
"Don't be fierce, it's a legal society now, and everyone has to make money according to the law. You don't break the law by making strange noises here, we don't break the law when we shoot here, and we don't break the law when this show is broadcast, but what are you doing here, the eyes of the masses are bright. β
The boss crossed his waist viciously and stared at Song Wenbin, as if he was going to swallow him.
"Don't look at me like that." Song Wenbin stretched out his hands, "I have eaten in your store, so it is also a good fate." In this way, let me ask you a question, if you can answer it, I will pinch out this paragraph, not only will I pinch off, but I will also help you publicize it, so that you don't have to engage in these tricks in the future, and there are many people who are willing to travel to you. β
"What are you! Come and ask me questions, I owe you! The boss's demeanor was very fierce, which reminded Song Wenbin of the gangsters of his father's era.
"I'm nothing." He said calmly: "You don't recognize me and it's okay, someone must know me." β
As he spoke, he slapped a light on his face, pointed to the photographer next to him and said, "Have you ever seen the show?" The one that goes up to space and under the sea. β
After his reminder, the group of middle-aged people present came back to their senses in hindsight, and he pointed at Song Wenbin and said in surprise: "Wait a while, you are the one, the one who filmed the show, and ran around abroad." β
"It's like a fake." Song Wenbin said.
"What... What are you two talking about? "The boss was disgruntled by being robbed of his right to speak and tried to intervene again.
"Oh, old Deng."
The man who recognized him suddenly became nervous, and hurriedly pulled his companion back, clasped his hands together, and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, we're really chasing wild boars." It's spring. The wild boar came out, if we don't drive it away, the peaches we planted will suffer, and there is no way to do it, so be considerate. β
Song Wenbin thought to himself that he had run around eight times if not ten times during this time, but he had never seen any peach orchards, but at this time he didn't want to demolish the other party, so he just followed the other party's words and said: "I know you are chasing wild boars, but what is playing in this stereo, don't tell me that it is a tiger barking, I just heard your companion say something outside, what kind of dragon and Jiao." β
"This ......"
The man looked embarrassed.
"What is the source of this sound, how does it sound like it is computer-synthesized?" Song Wenbin then asked.
After hearing this, Huo Yu, who was as depressed as a defeated dog, had some energy and barely raised his eyelids. Indeed, when I was at Seal, the technical department made it clear that this sound was not computer-synthesized, but if it was not synthesized, how did this strange sound come about?
