A few hours later, Jane drove to Pingdan Town.
The location is in a village in Pingdan Town. Dongchen Village is not small. If we go back a few decades ago, there must have been tens of thousands of people in this village.
However, as time goes by, the era of large population has receded, and the younger generation has gone out to work or study. Those who have any means will not stay in Dongchen Village.
The village is still quite far from the town, and with the development of modern society, it can never compare to the convenience of the town. Even young people with less promising futures don't want to live in the village, and at worst they choose to settle in the nearby Pingdan Town.
Therefore, Dongchen Village, which had a population of tens of thousands a few decades ago, now has only a few people left.
The once bustling village primary school had to be closed, and now it's a deserted school. There are still many empty old houses in the village that are uninhabited, but with regular cleaning, they can still be lived in. Without care, they basically become abandoned and dilapidated.
Jian Yi did not drive into Dongchen Village immediately, but bought some food in the town.
Qin Xin watched Jian Yi stuffing bags of food into the car. Even the seat where she was sitting was filled with a lot of food.
"Your cat can't take up that much space, right? So the remaining space is good for putting some food."
"You know I eat a lot, but now I have to go to work and catch ghosts for you. I have to eat more, right?"
Qin Xin heard Jian Yi say this and felt that this was the truth.
She moved aside and signaled to Jane Yi that she could put more. After all, her cat was not very big, so it would be okay if it squeezed in with the food.
Jian Yi couldn't stand seeing Qin Xiaomao being so sensible, so she hugged her and kissed her for a while, then very rudely brought back a bunch of food.
She stuffed food into every place she could, and Qin Xin was like a cat drowning in food. Of course, this was her own fault. With a little monster like that, how could she possibly be polite to her?
Fortunately, the car can drive into Dongchen Village, so there is no need to carry large and small bags of things in.
If you think about it carefully, if the car couldn't drive in, the crew wouldn't have chosen this place.
At the entrance of Dongchen Village, a young couple sat on a stone under an old locust tree.
It is afternoon now, and the sun is not as scorching as it is in the afternoon, but it is still very uncomfortable to be exposed to the sun.
Fortunately, there was an old locust tree above their heads, otherwise Zhou Baoshuai and Mei Xiaotian would not dare to wait for anyone in this place.
"Could that car belong to the boss?" Mei Xiaotian asked hesitantly as she watched the car slowly approaching. "It's about the same time."
"Big Brother wouldn't choose such a slow mode of transportation, would he?" Zhou Baoshuai shook his head. "Have you forgotten how we got back from the mountains last time? Big Brother would definitely drive something that's fast, convenient, and dangerous."
"For an ordinary car like this, you have to refuel along the way and find a place to park..."
Mei Xiaotian pulled Zhou Baoshuai and jumped up excitedly: "Brother Bao, he really is the boss. Let's go over quickly. He is the boss."
Zhou Baoshuai was still in a daze. Mei Xiaotian felt that she couldn't pull him away, so she simply let go and ran quickly towards Jian Yi.
"Boss, do you still remember me?" Mei Xiaotian asked excitedly, her face almost rubbing against the car window.
Jane rolled down the car window: "I remember."
"Boss, did you bring a cat with you? This isn't an ordinary cat, is it?" Mei Xiaotian remembered something. "Oh, this is the cat that ate the Ghost King, isn't it?"
The last time Jian Yi and Ding Shuang talked about the fate of the Ghost King, she and Zhou Baoshuai heard it clearly.
Jane Yi did not deny: "Can we drive in?"
"Of course, Brother Bao and I will be waiting for you here. We're just in case you don't know the way. The roads in this village are well-maintained, but there aren't many people living here. It looks a bit desolate. Most of the people who stay here are elderly people, and there are also some left-behind children." Mei Xiaotian glanced into the car and saw the cat buried in all kinds of food.
"Then you lead the way. There's no room in the car, so I won't take you two with me."
Zhou Baoshuai heard this as he followed, and before he could say anything, Mei Xiaotian pulled him along to lead the way.
Jane Yi drove slowly after the two of them. Passing the huge old locust tree, she looked sideways and said, "This old locust tree must be quite old."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Baoshuai quickly replied, "Even the oldest people in the village don't know how old this tree is, but it must have been there a long time ago. The roots of the old locust tree have spread to many places. According to the village elders, Dongchen Village used to be very populous. In the hot summer, the villagers, young and old, men and women, all loved to come under this old locust tree to enjoy the coolness, brag, and even bring their bowls out to eat to appreciate the delicious food."
"There are fewer and fewer people in the village now, only a few elderly people and children. Their parents work away from home and can't take care of them, so they have to stay and let the elderly help look after them." Mei Xiaotian continued, "It's not lively here anymore. The elderly don't like to sit here, they always feel it's deserted. I guess they only come here during the holidays, mostly hoping that the young people working outside will return."
"My uncle loves this big locust tree. There will be many scenes of the big locust tree in the movie." Zhou Baoshuai spoke again. Just then, the road in front of him forked. He quickly pointed in one direction and said, "Boss, go this way. It's too far and leads to somewhere else."
Jane found that the roads in the village were indeed well-built. Almost every road could easily accommodate a small car, ensuring that every household could use it conveniently.
The houses here are not bad, but some of them are really uninhabited and no one comes back to take care of them, so they look much more dilapidated than those where people live.
The road in front of the uninhabited house was overgrown with grass.
"There are many empty houses here. My uncle talked to the village chief about it, and we chose to live in the houses that are regularly cleaned. Those houses that have not been taken care of for many years are no longer habitable. We eat at the village chief's house."
"If it weren't for the weird people on the crew lately, this place would be really nice. I was planning to go wandering around with Brother Bao," Mei Xiaotian said. "This is really a place where inspiration bursts forth. It's very artistic. But since something weird has happened, we dare not wander around for fear of something happening."
The last incident almost cost them their lives, so they have to be much more careful.
Jane couldn't help but ask, "Where did you go last time?"
She always felt that the things this young couple played with should be a little different.
"Just to see the scenery and stuff," Zhou Baoshuai replied, "take some photos, get some inspiration. It would be even better if there were some dilapidated houses."
"But we only went to some places that were mentioned online as a bit strange, like the one with a lot of cemeteries and some caves left over from the past," Mei Xiaotian continued. "The scenery was really beautiful, especially the flowers in the cemeteries, which were so beautiful. But we also knew that we shouldn't take pictures of cemeteries casually, so we didn't take any photos."
Jane Yi: "..."
Qin Xin, who was listening in, said: "..." Is she behind the times? Are these young couples having such exciting things now?
Jane Yi said that she had never heard of anything interesting on that road.
It turns out that this young couple plays differently from others.
"Boss, why are the other people on the crew acting strange, but Bao Ge and I aren't?" Mei Xiaotian finally couldn't help asking this question. "Logically, since we noticed something was wrong, we should have been affected, right?"
Jane Yi: "Maybe it's related to the last experience."
Jane Yi had a suspicion in her heart. Could it be that the two young lovers had spent so much time with her that they had benefited from her good fortune? She had a gift for warding off evil spirits and bringing good luck to others, so it was probably just the luck of the two young lovers who had benefited from her.
Of course, she couldn't say more about this.
She could imagine that once someone knew she had this talent, they would definitely come over and shamelessly rub against her.
This blessing of hers cannot be shared by just anyone.
Besides, she has to stay now to do big things. The landlady is so thin, it would be better to rub her more.
After all, the other person might very well be her future partner. If she lets other people eat, she won't get a single bite to eat, which is too unprofitable.
It's a good deal to get a partner by being a hostess to the landlady.
Zhou Baoshuai and Mei Xiaotian did not ask much. In their opinion, there were some things that the masters would never tell them.
After parking the car, Jian Yi followed Zhou Baoshuai to their current place of residence.
"During the day, my uncle is relatively normal." Zhou Baoshuai said in a low voice, "So far, I've only asked three people: my uncle, an actor from the crew, and a stagehand."
"But... I've noticed that everyone's been acting a little strangely at night these past few days," Zhou Baoshuai said, his face filled with worry. "Even people I haven't asked have started to act strangely. If I didn't know you, Boss, I really wouldn't know what to do about this."
"Boss, I told my uncle that you're my classmate, so I came to see him and broaden my horizons. Don't let anyone get away with it." Zhou Baoshuai warned, "I'm afraid that directly saying you're a master might alert that bad guy."
Jian Yi agreed, holding Qin Xiaomao and followed Zhou Baoshuai and Mei Xiaotian into the yard.
"Uncle, I picked up my classmate." Zhou Baoshuai shouted as he walked in.
The moment Jane Yi stepped into the yard, countless pairs of eyes fell on her.
Fortunately, she has been doing live streaming for a while, so she can remain calm in the face of these strange looks.
"Bao Shuai, what's the name of your classmate? He looks pretty good. Is he studying acting?" Bai Zibo stood up, his eyes never leaving Jian Yi.
At that moment, Jane felt several wary gazes.
Zhou Baoshuai quickly shook his head: "No, it's another major, and it has nothing to do with acting."
As soon as these words fell, Jane found that those vigilant eyes disappeared again.
"Oh, that's a pity." Bai Zibo thought Jian Yi was very smart.
Zhou Baoshuai was afraid of offending the boss, so he quickly introduced Jian Yi and said, "She just came to take a look. She is usually curious when chatting."
When everyone saw Jane holding a beautiful kitten in her arms, their eyes softened. It seemed that she really came to play.
"What a cute little kitten." Lan Mo was the first one who couldn't help herself. She walked over with a smile and stretched out her hand to Qin Xin.
Qin Xin grabbed Jian Yi's clothes with one claw, and then the whole cat stiffened. She grabbed the wrong place and quickly let go of her claws.
She really didn't mean it, she just wanted to remind the little monster that she didn't want anyone else to touch her.
