Chapter 290: Departure



In the viewfinder, the director stared nervously at the sun rising in the sky. Dawn only lasts for a short moment, and it cannot be photographed today, so it can only be edited later.

He rubbed his hands and stared at a horse galloping towards him with the rising sun on its back.

Closer, closer, the sun rose and illuminated her face.

There is no doubt that this is Miss Jane who has joined the X Club. She is wearing a white shirt with lace lace, paired with black riding pants, and the rivets on her boots are shining.

Although professionals can tell at a glance that this is not a professional riding outfit, it looks good and handsome, so who cares!

The photographer moved his position to ensure the continuity of the lens.

So, the audience can see that at this moment, Miss Jane's legs are clamped around the horse's belly, and she raises the most well-known pistol with both hands, aiming at the monster and pulling the trigger. After the continuous "bang bang bang" sound of gunfire, the monster is forced to retreat.

The dull sound of horse hooves, behind her, the guest actors are dressed in black tight leather jackets, and they raise their prop guns in a row.

Under the powerful firepower, the monsters (waiting for post-CG production) have to retreat step by step.

The sky is getting brighter, and the sun has completely jumped out of the horizon.

The dark forest is illuminated by light.

The monsters retreat unwillingly and disappear into the strange forest.

Everything is over.

The camera lens followed Miss Jane, who jumped off the horse swiftly and asked, "Are you okay?"

"You are..." Han Bo, the old face, got the words for the meeting, "Jane?"

Miss Jane nodded and waved, "Get on the horse, we must leave here as soon as possible. Otherwise..." She stared at the dark forest, as if it was a prophecy, "They will come back at any time."

The guests (or their stand-ins) got on the horse.

The horses raised on the farm were very docile, just wagging their tails on the spot.

Miss Jane turned her head, climbed on the horse, shook the reins, and said, "Drive!"

The horse spread its hooves and ran towards the distant sunrise. The shadow of last night faded, but the devil still remained in the dark corner, ready to drag people into the abyss at any time.

"Cut!" The director called a halt, very excited, "Very good, very well filmed, it can be a movie scene."

Jiang Baiyan: "Didn't you say this is a movie?"

"Go away, there's no role for you, why are you adding to the fun?" The director was very dissatisfied. Everyone knew that a reality show movie was not a movie, so why did he say it out loud.

Jiang Baiyan snorted, "Don't invite me next time, or I'll double my price."

"Get lost." The director was very familiar with him and didn't take it seriously at all. He said to Jian Jing, "Teacher Jian, it's a great shot. You're a talented actor. Do you want to consider making your debut?"

Jian Jing smiled and said, "No, I'm not interested in acting. Is this all?"

The director originally thought that Jian Jing had failed several times because she had no experience, but he didn't expect her to be so perfect in front of the camera. He didn't even want to give the role to other people, "Of course, it's great." He

praised her again, "Teacher Jian's riding skills are really good. Did you learn it specifically?"

"I guess so." Jian Jing said. This was a card she drew a long time ago, but she hadn't used it for a while. Today, she was able to sit on the horse again, and she felt very happy.

She couldn't help but say, "I'll go for a run again."

The director immediately said, "Then add a few more shots, get ready, follow."

Jian Jing let them shoot as they pleased, and ran happily for half an hour. She worked up a sweat, and hurried back to the house to take a shower.

After finishing, it was time for the real breakfast.

Robert, his parents, and Reed gathered together for dinner.

Reed was alone, taking up one and a half seats, eating oatmeal with ice milk. Jian Jing found it strange, as it was common for the elderly to suffer from Alzheimer's, but because of the degeneration of language and cognitive functions, they would lose the ability to take care of themselves.

Reed didn't have that.

He was as strong as an ox, and there was nothing wrong with his body, but his memory stayed in 40 years ago.

How strange.

Jian Jing greeted the host family, and sat down opposite Reed with a plate in her hand.

He suddenly said, "Kelly, I have to mow the lawn this afternoon, maybe you can help me with the flowers."

Jian Jing was slightly startled.

Robert immediately gave her an apologetic look and interrupted, "Reed..."

Jian Jing stopped him and said softly, "Okay, I'd love to."

Reed was stunned and actually asked, "Really?"

She gave an affirmative answer.

He muttered, "I thought you were going to see Bill... OK, I'll be there early, no." He seemed to suddenly remember some fragments, and said nervously, "You are not allowed to go anywhere today, stay at home, OK?"

Jian Jing said, "No problem."

Reed seemed relieved and promised his sister, "I can lend you the Queen tape."

Jian Jing had never heard of this band, but she agreed, "That's what you said."

"Reed never lies." Reed ate cereal in big mouthfuls, as if he had traveled through time and turned into a young man forty years ago.

At that time, his little sister was still alive, and the brother and sister had a good relationship.

He suddenly fell into memories, humming Queen's "Another One Bites The Dust" to himself, and stopped talking.

Robert lowered his voice and apologized to Jian Jing: "Sorry, Reed said something strange again."

"It's okay, he's always thinking about Kelly." Jian Jing said, "I hope this will make him happy."

Robert shook his head: "He will forget it soon."

Jian Jing: "A quarter of an hour is also good."

However, this time, Reed's hallucination lasted for a long time. After breakfast, he patted Jian Jing on the shoulder: "Don't say that your brother bullies you. Come with me. I'll give you the tape now - you are not allowed to lend it to Bill. If I find out, I will knock out his teeth."

Jian Jing originally wanted to find out more about things, so she followed obediently.

But halfway through, Reed suddenly forgot what he was going to do, and no longer mistook her for Kelly. He asked curiously: "Why are you following me?"

There was no one around, so it was a good time to ask questions.

Jian Jing asked, "Do you remember the foreign man in the woods? He looks strange and had been to Huanghun Town before the fire."

Reed's eyes suddenly changed, sharp and alert: "Why are you asking this? What is your relationship with him? What do you want to know?"

"I'm looking for a man named Qi Tian." Jian Jing said.

Reed stared at her for a while, and suddenly said, "Don't go into the forest after dusk."

"Why?" Jian Jing asked, "What's in the forest?"

"Don't believe what the owl says." He grabbed her shoulders and almost roared, "Don't believe it, Kelly, don't follow the owl..."

"Reed!" Robert heard the news and rushed to rescue Jian Jing, "Let her go."

"It doesn't matter." She easily broke free from Reed's restraints and comforted him, "Okay, Kelly won't go anywhere without following the owl."

Reed panted and calmed down for a long time.

Then, without looking at her or paying attention to Robert, he picked up the axe by the wall and turned his head to go into the woods.

Robert was very embarrassed and hesitated to speak.

Jian Jing acted as if nothing had happened and asked with a smile: "I'm here to participate in the filming of a program, and I have other plans. Do you know where I can rent a car?"

Robert breathed a sigh of relief and introduced a car rental company with a good reputation

. Jian Jing thanked him and went back to the house to pack her luggage.

Jiang Baiyan followed in: "Are you leaving ?"

"Yes, I have somewhere to go." Jian Jing picked up the iPad and checked the offline map downloaded yesterday. "It's very dangerous, don't come with me."

Jiang Baiyan was shocked: "Where are you going? Chicago?"

"No, a remote town, the kind with horror stories." She threatened.

Jiang Baiyan said without hesitation: "Then I'd rather go with you. In horror movies, people who go alone usually die miserably."

Jian Jing: "How good is it for two people?"

Jiang Baiyan read countless movies: "Of a couple, usually only one can survive!"

Jian Jing: "How can there be a couple?"

"A man and a woman, only one can survive." Jiang Baiyan immediately went into the opposite room, "I'll pack my things now, give me ten minutes."

"I won't wait for you." Jian Jing didn't want to drag him down, so she quickly opened the suitcase and stuffed clothes into it. Fortunately, she had only been here for two days, so she didn't drag out anything, so it was very easy to pack.

Seven minutes later.

Jiang Baiyan sat on the suitcase, waiting for her to put away the bottles and jars.

Jian Jing made an excuse: "You have less stuff than me."

"I'm more skilled." Jiang Baiyan corrected her obediently, "We always stay in hotels when we're filming, and I've been running around outside for most of the year, so I'm used to it." Jian Jing

looked at him.

He: "Take me with you, it's good to have someone to help you drive."

This is true. Public transportation in the United States is very bad. Almost everyone has a car, and the roads are crisscrossed. Most of the time, you have to drive yourself.

Although Huanghun Town is not far away, it's boring to go alone. Moreover, for some reason, she is always a little scared of this journey, and always has a bad premonition.

It's not bad to have a helper.

"If you're not afraid, come along." She thought about it and said, "I'll give you a task. Borrow a car and a driver from the crew. We're going to the car rental company."

Jiang Baiyan gave a big "OK".

Jian Jing's plan was to set out in the afternoon and reach Huanghun Town before dark. But the plan was good. They were unfamiliar with the road conditions. It was already dark, but they were still on the road. They

had no choice but to stay in a motel.

Jian Jing originally wanted two rooms, but after seeing the bullet holes on the wall, she still defaulted to one room.

Before she could say anything, Jiang Baiyan explained very tactfully: "I understand, for safety."

The environment of the hotel is hard to describe. It is even more collapsed than the zombie hotel. That one was just simple, but the rooms here are... dirty and messy.

The smell said that the people next door were consuming contraband that was illegal in the country but legal abroad.

The hearing said that a multiplayer game of Disharmony was going on across the street.

How can I live here?

"Jingjing, move aside. I'll spread the sheets." Jiang Baiyan unpacked the disposable sheets and spread them flat on the bed that had been slept in by countless people but not washed. Then he took out his sleeping bag, sorted out his toiletries, and prepared to take a shower.

He took a five-minute shower, ten minutes to do skin care, three minutes to blow-dry his hair, and then got into his sleeping bag to sleep.

Jian Jing: "Are you done?"

"You can be so fast even if you shoot until the early morning." He yawned, put on an eye mask and earplugs, "Good night."

Jian Jing took an hour to complete the above steps. He curled up in his sleeping bag and sent a message to Kang Mucheng, telling him that he would go to Huanghun Town tomorrow.

Kang Mucheng was puzzled: [What are you doing in such a remote place?]

Jian Jing thought about it and told him all about Qi Tian.

As expected, he did not agree: [It's too dangerous. ]

Jian Jing: [I will be careful]

Kang Mucheng didn't reply for a while. Later, he probably realized that he couldn't convince her, so he settled for the next best thing: [Send me your location every day and call to report that you are safe]

Jian Jing: [OK]

She lay down and hesitated for a moment, fearing that she would not be aware of any movement, so she gave up the earplugs and closed her eyes to rest.

There were waves of swear words coming from next door, which greatly enriched the English vocabulary.

Then, the driver on the second day was changed to Jiang Baiyan.

She was so sleepy that she dozed off in the car.

In a daze, the surrounding light became very dark, and it seemed that we had entered a deep forest where no sunlight could be seen. Tall, dark trees criss-crossed like the devil's claws.

In the dim light, an owl turned its head and stared coldly at the visitor.
