Fu Lanchen did not make any excuses.
Because the person Wang Mingyue was targeting was her, Lin Zhi.
"Since it was Wang Mingyue who ordered this, did she tell me where Sarah is?"
"She was just giving orders, so she didn't know Sarah's whereabouts."
"how so?"
Lin Zhi's voice was low and hoarse, and his whole body was trembling.
Scenes of past interactions with Wang Mingyue flashed before his eyes.
She was trembling as she clutched the quilt, her eyes fixed on a certain spot, like a sharp blade, determined to cut the culprit, Wang Mingyue, into pieces.
"What are you going to do with her? Fu Lanchen, Sarah is your own flesh and blood, she is still a child..."
"Don't worry, I won't let her go so easily."
…
After hanging up the phone, Lin Zhi couldn't fall asleep for a long time.
During this period, insomnia has become the norm, and I almost always rely on medication to sleep for two or three hours.
Too lazy to get up and get some boiled water, Lin Zhi just lay there, staring at the dark tent ceiling, with his eyes open until dawn.
On the second day of recording, according to the script, the artists and actors had to go to the temple to help clean up and learn about Buddhist culture.
Lin Zhi saw the woman there again, who had come to pray for the sale of the listing twice before.
This time, she was wearing monk's clothes and cleaning the temple with a big broom.
A group of people passed by, and when she stopped, her eyes met Lin Zhi in the crowd.
At that time, they smiled at each other symbolically.
Lin Zhi turned his head and his expression returned to calm.
The third time they met, she always felt that there was an indescribable sense of intimacy about the woman.
Because the recording would take two days, all the daily necessities of the artists and actors were moved to the dormitory specially prepared in the temple by assistant staff.
During a break in the recording session, Lin Zhi returned to the dormitory and encountered a woman drawing water from a well in the backyard. She tied a thick hemp rope to an iron bucket and threw it into the stone-lined well. Soon, a bucket of clear spring water emerged.
Lin Zhi was puzzled.
There is tap water not far away, so why do we still need to draw water manually?
Out of curiosity, she stopped.
The woman carried two large iron buckets of water and placed them on the end of a shoulder pole. Then she threw away the hemp ropes holding the buckets. When she bent down to pick up the shoulder pole on the ground, she found someone was looking at her.
Their eyes met, and the woman's surprise turned into a smile.
Lin Zhi raised his lips and walked towards her, "There is running water, why do you bother to carry water?"
The woman tucked her wind-blown hair behind her ears and said, "The water from the well is sweet. The temple uses it for cooking and drinking water, all of which is carried from here."
Lin Zhi was surprised.
The woman turned and squatted, and she immediately helped.
“How many times a day do you have to pick it?”
"Normally, the masters just eat and drink. Now there's a film crew, so there are more people. These days, they might have to eat and drink six times a day."
"And..., why don't the masters pick? They are men after all, and they are strong."
"They are all monks who chant sutras every day. It would be unreasonable for them to let me live here and not help with the work."
Lin Zhi knew that her shoulders were tired from doing this, so she hurriedly urged her, "Then hurry up and take it back."
The woman turned around and took two steps before stopping and putting the bucket down. "Ms. Lin."
The first two times, she saw Lin Zhi’s name on the sign.
Lin Zhi was about to return to the dormitory when he heard the sound and turned around.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing that she was hesitant to speak, Lin Zhi walked closer.
The woman then spoke, "Have you found your child?"
Lin Zhi pursed his lips and shook his head.
The woman sighed. "With the advancement of technology in today's society, I'm sure I'll find it."
She carried the water away, and Lin Zhi stood there, watching her back as she walked away, feeling a sense of loss.
Next, the woman knew that Lin Zhi was a star actress, and every time she saw her, her eyes were filled with indescribable love.
During the break in the recording, the woman came over and started chatting with Lin Zhi.
Assistant Wen Yi wanted to stop him, but was dissuaded by Lin Zhi's look.
The woman made an embarrassed gesture to the assistant and then sat down in the chair next to Lin Zhi.
"I heard that you are from Fengcheng?"
She asked proactively.
Lin Zhi was originally looking at his phone, so he simply turned it off and said, "Yes."
"Then do you know the Sheng family?"
Lin Zhi was startled. "I know, I know."
The woman suddenly looked away, frowning, as if she was troubled by something.
Lin Zhi was puzzled.
Looking around, other artists were eating, drinking, and chatting with their assistants.
She withdrew her gaze and fell on the woman again.
"I don't know your name yet, what should I call you?"
"My last name is Mei, Mei Shuang."
Lin Zhi's eyes flashed with surprise.
Knowing it's quite special.
"Why are you asking about the Sheng family? What is your relationship with them?"
"Nothing, I'm just asking out of curiosity."
The woman smiled faintly and didn't want to say anything more.
Lin Zhi didn't want to ask more questions, so he continued on the topic: "Fengcheng is not too far from here. If you want to go to Fengcheng, you can stop a car at the foot of the mountain and ask if you can go a little further."
The woman shook her head. "It's too much trouble."
Seeing that she seemed to be hiding something, Lin Zhi immediately changed the subject, "Don't you have any family? Why are you living in a temple?"
The woman looked into the distance and said, "I came from a distant place. I passed by the temple and was penniless. The master took me in. If I leave here, I really don't know where to go."
Lin Zhi was a little confused by her words.
The two didn't chat for too long before the director team came and shouted to start recording.
At the end of the day.
Before resting in the dormitory, Lin Zhi received a call from David.
