Chapter 127
Ghosts Making Trouble?
What ghosts making trouble?
Zhang Haolin led the staff over to take a look at the so-called ghost scene.
Zhang's messy bed -
No, actually it was the bugs by the bed.
Over a dozen bugs, still alive, crawling around on the pillow!
Zhang Haolin picked up the pillow and shook it hard!
He turned to look at the male staff next to him seriously, "This is still not ghosts making trouble! Where did these many bugs come from in the winter? And they are still jumping around lively!"
Everyone didn't speak for a while, looking at Zhang Haolin with some puzzlement.
"There are a lot more bugs naturally in the mountains. Maybe because Director Zhang had the air conditioner on in the room, so the bugs all crawled out?" a boy from the city imagined.
Zhang Haolin glared at them, "Go away, there's no way bugs would crawl out following the air conditioner! These bugs should be hibernating in the soil this winter!"
Because there were too many people in the room, Song Jixing couldn't squeeze in and could only stand outside listening to the lively chat.
She heard two people inside whispering, "What do you think, is Director Zhang afraid or not afraid? I see Director Zhang looks so calm!"
"I see that too!"
Song Jixing expanded her spiritual sense, in the not too far yard, she discovered two birds standing on a tree branch, watching other people's TV through the glass window.
It should be these two's masterpiece.
No matter where these bugs came from, they were uniformly thrown by Zhang Haolin into the soil pit in the yard and buried in the soil.
He felt these bugs were inauspicious, so he didn't dare kill them, no matter where they came from.
Because at this time, the owner who rented out this place also came to apologize to Zhang Haolin and compensated him with some money.
When the vehicles arrived at the village entrance, in addition to the Zhang family members who came to see them off, there were also two yellow orioles standing on the trees.
After the crew members said goodbye to the Zhang family, they got on the vehicles one by one.
Because of the things that happened in the morning, Zhang Haolin felt uncomfortable in his heart, so he also didn't get off the vehicle and still sat in the driver's seat.
Until he moved his gaze onto the two birds on the tree branch. Zhang Haolin stared at those two birds for a long time. When he realized the birds were watching him, a kind of dreadful association suddenly arose in his heart.
Birds, bugs, voices?
Could it be these two birds did it?
Once this idea came out, Zhang Haolin could no longer control himself from seeking the reasonableness of this matter.
That day when the voices came out, only the birds on the tree were closest to him, and even made chorus responses after he spoke!
And also the bugs on the bed were part of the birds' food. He remembered before waking up that the room door was clearly locked well, no object could have come inside. Besides, other people's ground was all tiled, the bed was a wooden frame bed, there was simply no way bugs would be there originally.
The only slight connection with the outside was the air conditioner vent hole, rather big!
Zhang Haolin shuddered instinctively and withdrew his gaze fixed on the birds!
It really was too, too, too terrifying!
After being silent for a while, Zhang Haolin felt stifled and saw his elders still talking outside the vehicle. He couldn't help but strike up a conversation with Song Jixing inside the vehicle.
"Little Song, do you think birds can speak?"
Song Jixing naturally, "Yes!"
Zhang Haolin's heart shook.
"...Parrots."
Parrots mimic and can imitate human speech.
Upon hearing the name parrots, Zhang Haolin heaved a sigh of relief, but still felt unresigned, "What about ones that aren't parrots?"
"Then I don't know much." Song Jixing played dumb.
Didn't know much, for example the two outside.
Although sooner or later Director Zhang would encounter other talking animals, but not right now.
This documentary trip was shot relatively easily for Song Jixing and the collaboration was also very happy.
Xu Kai drove the vehicle early to the hotel reserved for Director Zhang and the others, preparing to send Song Jixing back home.
Sitting in Xu Kai's vehicle, Song Jixing could sense Xu Kai's changes over the past few days.
He seemed to have lost a lot of weight, with his chin also sharpening as a result.
"Thanks for your hard work this time today, you can relax for a period back home. New Year is almost here, many TV stations are preparing galas. Right, do you want to be on a New Year's Eve gala?" Xu Kai asked.
As long as Song Jixing gave an affirmative answer, he could immediately have the coordinator secure a spot for her.
New Year's Eve galas were a good opportunity to increase popularity, but Song Jixing just shook her head, "I can still get by acting, but performing onstage I'm not too good at!"
"Alright then, I'll go back and pick some scripts for you and take another look later on." Xu Kai said seriously.
Through the period of training, he felt that he could easily handle many situations now. Xu Kai drove to the barriers in front of the steel factory nearby.
Compared to previously always driving right up the house, now Xu Kai's authority only reached this point.
As for why he couldn't go in himself, Xu Kai didn't really understand. However, he also didn't have much interest in knowing. After all, the more he knew, the more risks he would face. Just doing his own job well was sufficient.
This was hinted to him by his superior, also to not take initiative for now to understand more. When the right time came, someone would tell him.
"I can only send you this far, next you'll have to go in yourself." Xu Kai said seriously.
Song Jixing looked at the vehicles ahead not understanding much. She rolled down the window asking, "Can't drive in now?"
The staff manning the barrier recognized Song Jixing and moreover knew she was the highest authority of the entire Action Branch. As long as she didn't do anything to endanger everyone's safety, they would unconditionally obey her arrangements and cooperate with her.
"You can go in, of course!" The staff pulled up the barricade.
...
"Then drive in." Song Jixing said to Xu Kai.
Xu Kai: ???
Although he didn't know what happened, Xu Kai still followed along the same.
As he drove in, Xu Kai could clearly feel immense changes compared to last time.
The small tube buildings were gone, it was a construction site undergoing building.
As for the deserted villa area previously, now they were all undergoing renovation and rebuilding. Scaffolding was erected in every small courtyard, with people wearing uniforms busily working inside and outside the courtyards.
And also the roads and greenery on both sides!
The greenery seemed to be done well, still so lush in the winter. Street lamps clearly increased, and the road's cracked places were also repaired, even expanded to be more spacious.
Xu Kai silently observed all these changes, silently amazed in his heart!
Truly generous scale!
When driving to the original courtyard, it was still roughly the same people who came out to welcome them.
"Junior sister, you came back so early!" Shen Feixian's voice rang out. Then he also greeted Xu Kai, "Hello Xu Kai, come in and sit down for a cup of tea!"
Xu Kai hurriedly declined with shaking head, "No need, not thirsty!"
Without needing Xu Kai to lift a hand, Song Jixing took out her luggage herself and placed it inside the yard.
It was almost meal time, Song Jixing could smell the food aroma. She took initiative opening her mouth, "Why not stay to eat a meal?"
Xu Kai stood in place, his selfish heart moved. He remembered his superior said before to extremely satisfy any demands Song Jixing made.
If the demands were too difficult, he could report upwards.
Eating a meal wasn't difficult. He could accomplish it independently.
