Seeing him hang up the phone, Zhang Chu pulled him aside in surprise and asked, "What's the matter? Who asked you to run publicity?"
"Director Jiang."
"Hiss" Zhang Chu took a breath and looked at him with dismay, "Then why did you refuse?"
"No time." He couldn't go, not because of the ID card problem, but also because of their faces. They were just a small extra for a second or two, and they were wearing makeup. Even if their families were still alive, they wouldn't be recognized. But if they were to go for a promotion for a big director like this, the possibility of being recognized was too great. An Jingzhi didn't want to cause trouble for himself.
Anyway, these ghosts can support him by doing odd jobs, so it’s not worth it.
"You, this is a great thing that others would beg for, and you actually refused it." Zhang Chu looked at him in confusion.
"Okay, okay, why don't you come to me today to talk about this?"
Zhang Chu was puzzled. "Yes, isn't my cousin the group leader? I thought your two relatives are so promising, I have some connections with my cousin, and we are so familiar with each other, so I wanted to recommend myself to be your relatives' agent."
An Jingzhi shook his head helplessly. "They're just doing odd jobs. Why do they need an agent? If you were to be their agent, you wouldn't even be able to support yourself."
Zhang Chu had also heard how much the other party's relatives listened to An Jingzhi. With An Jingzhi's lazy personality, he really wouldn't amount to anything.
"I'll treat you to dinner today." After all, Zhang Chu helped him find a job.
Zhang Chu said unhappily, "What are you talking about? Aren't you slapping me in the face? I said it's my treat, so I'll treat you."
…
A relative passed away, and Jiao Feng had no further schedule after filming, so he bought a ticket and went home directly.
After returning to my hometown and attending a relative's funeral, I went to my grandmother's house.
"Grandma, please give me some more amulets when I leave." Jiao Feng established a relationship with the director with the help of the amulets. Knowing that the amulets were indeed useful, Jiao Feng also wanted to keep some more just in case.
Grandma Jiao Feng was short with gray hair. She bowed to the statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva in front of her, then walked up to her grandson and rolled her eyes.
"What do you think that is? You can have it whenever you want?"
Jiao Feng approached his grandmother with a smile, "Hey, grandma, please ask for a few more for me. I can take them with me when I leave."
"Didn't you not believe it before? What's wrong? Did something happen to you?" Grandma Jiao Feng looked at him suspiciously.
Jiao Feng hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether he should tell her about it. Seeing him like this, his grandmother immediately pressed him, "If you don't tell me, I will never ask for a talisman for you again."
Jiao Feng hesitated for a moment before finally speaking, "...I felt something was wrong at the time. My whole body was cold and I felt like I was on the verge of death. Later I discovered that the amulet had indeed turned to ashes."
"Grandma, thanks to your amulet."
Grandma Jiao Feng's hand trembled for a moment, and she quickly walked to the bottom of the Guanyin Bodhisattva, lowered her head and murmured something that Jiao Feng could not understand.
Then his grandmother took out a few amulets from under the incense ashes.
"Wear it with you, and don't take it off except when you take a shower. I told you before that these amulets are useful, and you thought I was nagging. Now you've run into trouble, right? But these amulets can only protect you from some little ghosts."
"The woman you mentioned can walk in the daytime. She must be a very powerful ghost. If she really wants to kill you, this amulet will be useless."
Jiao Feng was shocked. "Is this true? Then should I still wear this amulet?"
In fact, Grandma Jiao Feng was also very scared. She had read all these supernatural things from ancient books. Over the years, she had done a lot of exorcism work for the villagers, but at most she had seen some evil spirits and black air, and had called away souls.
"How can there be so many evil spirits? It's up to you whether to take them with you or not." Grandma Jiao Feng said.
Jiao Feng immediately smiled and said, "Of course I carry it with me."
The two chatted for a while, and Jiao Feng helped his grandmother out.
Jiao Feng looked up and saw some activity going on ahead. After watching for a while, someone took the initiative to come forward and walked up to Jiao Feng's grandmother. "Grandma Yu, there's a stranger looking for you."
…
Jiao Feng accompanied his grandmother to the reception room, where a couple and a middle-aged man were sitting in front of them.
Such scenes were not uncommon in the past. Jiao Feng had seen many people coming to his grandmother for help with their problems, but he never believed them until he actually encountered one himself.
Grandma Jiao Feng looked at the couple, then at the middle-aged man, "Where have you been?!" Her tone was very serious.
The middle-aged man was none other than Mr. Lin, but compared to two months ago, he now looked weak and frail, as if he would not live long.
Lin Bai smiled bitterly, "I went to Qiong Province."
"...The altar is located on the cliff, very hidden. If it hadn't been for the mudslide, it might not have been exposed."
Lin Bai told Grandma Jiao Feng about his itinerary for the past two months.
He went to the altar where Hu Jinhua's daughter, Hu Xinyu, had been. Hu Xinyu had returned home fine and told her parents about the incident, and Lin Bai later went there himself.
Finally, I saw the strange altar.
But he didn't see anything magical there, except feeling uncomfortable all over.
After returning, he wondered if he was wrong, but he couldn't find the root of the problem anywhere. So he asked the locals about the origin of the statue enshrined in the altar.
The local people have different stories, but they are all very respectful of the statue.
Moreover, the local young people have been warned by the elders in the village and dare not go there unless necessary.
Later, when they learned that Lin Bai had been to the altar, the local people didn't even dare to receive them anymore and refused to answer any questions he asked.
Lin Bai often entered the altar, and he could feel his life fading away bit by bit.
No matter how much he searched the local county chronicles and ancient books, he could not find any solution to the problem.
He met Grandma Jiao Feng when he was young. He saw a ghost at that time and was very scared because of his young age. His family asked Grandma Jiao Feng to help him, but in the end, Grandma Jiao Feng called his soul back.
"When I first met Hu Xinyu, she was lying motionless but still had a rosy complexion like a normal person. But now she is skin and bones, and her body shows signs of aging. No matter how much she is given an IV drip, it's useless. Just like me, I can clearly feel my life slowly dissipating." Lin Bai had been into the altar himself and knew how terrible it was inside, so he did not let Hu Jinhua and his wife in.
He was a little confused as to why he was the only one who was not unconscious after entering. However, apart from not being unconscious, all other symptoms were the same. Vital signs were slowly fading. So far, only Hu Xinyu was still alive.
You know, there were thirteen members of their team who went on the expedition together.
