Chapter 357: Desolate Yujiang Village
This time, the journey up the mountain was not like what I remembered, where a skinny young man struggled to drag two boxes from nine in the morning until dark. Instead, they set out together after ten thirty in the morning.
On Qin Lang's side were the siblings Diao Longyun and Diao Longxiang. Seeing that many people came to join in the fun, Qin Lang picked out a kind-looking middle-aged man and gave him a Pear brand tablet. The man happily accompanied them up the mountain. He held a suitcase in his hand, and Diao Longyun held one. They just had to climb up.
The same went for Yin Sihan, Su Dongfeng, and Shui Lianlian. They were surrounded by people who were strong enough to carry their suitcases, and all their electronic products were handed over to the program crew. Qin Lang didn't have any electronic products at all. When they walked up the mountain, they realized how difficult the journey was.
How should I put it? The road to Yujiang Village is only about a meter wide, traversed by footsteps. Surrounding it are trees. Looking in either direction, there are only dark tree trunks and a forest that blocks out the sun. And it seems it just rained, so everything feels wet. Wherever you step, you might find mud or nothing.
Not to mention Qin Lang and others, even though the program crew had already checked out the location, they were still staggering forward. Fortunately, there were many people, otherwise it would really give people a terrifying atmosphere.
Everyone was walking forward while chatting. The live broadcast room was still going on. However, after seeing that all the gifts people had given out had been taken away, they left in boredom. Only some people were left looking at the mountain road and sighing, how could there still be such a remote village in this day and age?
Anyway, they kept walking from the foot of the mountain to the top, and it took them four hours before they really reached the top of the mountain. When they reached the end of the path, what they saw was even more horrifying.
Have you ever seen those dilapidated huts and temples in the mountains? Yujiang Village has that feeling. Although the huts are also made of piled stones, they are all covered with dilapidated grass, and there is a quiet coldness blowing in with the wind.
There was absolutely no popularity here, which shocked the people in the live broadcast room.
My goodness! You said you were going to send the kids to a rehabilitation center? You sent them straight to a haunted house?
Four hours from ten thirty in the morning to now is exactly a little after two in the afternoon. Normally, this is the time when the yang energy is the strongest. However, even with the sunlight shining on these seemingly dilapidated village roofs, people still feel inexplicably uncomfortable and extremely creepy.
"...Has it been a long time since anyone has lived in Yujiang Village?"
Diao Longxiang hid behind his brother. He was really scared and asked this question while pulling his brother's clothes.
Qin Lang had a blank expression on his face. He knew that Yujiang Village was dilapidated and had been uninhabited for a long time, so it was chosen as the place for the four people to transform. There was no food or drink here, nothing useful, and they were just going to make the four of them suffer.
Following Diao Longxiang's words, the director of photography finally spoke.
"This is Yujiang Village. To make your transformation smoother, we chose this secluded village. The residents moved out two years ago, but the houses are still intact. For the next month, you will live in Yujiang Village and undergo your transformation. Our production team will only provide you with water and food for the first three days. The rest will require you to create your own food! I believe you can do it!!!"
This is simply shameless! After all, the production crew and the photographers can cook and have food to eat, but the children have nothing.
Diao Longyun frowned, wondering if the production team was too crazy. How could teenagers survive in such a dark place?
And for a month? This place looks like it's been ruined for a long time. How are these children going to eat?
Not to mention food and such, where does clean water come from???
The middle-aged man standing by also frowned, thinking that the production team was cheating the children.
"This village has been abandoned for two years. It's completely dilapidated. How can it be owned by someone? A house that hasn't been occupied for a long time will become poisonous."
That’s right, everyone in the countryside knows that some houses have been dilapidated for a long time, and it will make you feel uncomfortable and sad when you stay in them. In fact, it is because no one has been there for a long time, and there is toxic gas in the house, which makes people feel uncomfortable.
Now that the program crew has arranged it this way, even this middle-aged man who was watching the fun felt that it was not good.
"But this is how our program has arranged it. We believe you have the ability to live a self-sufficient life in Yujiang Village. Don't you want to prove your abilities to everyone? Without your parents' relationship and protection, how can you survive in this cruel society? Now is your time to show off. Learn to live without your parents. This is your first lesson."
The program crew's high-sounding words are simply because they are recording a program. Even if a normal person goes out into society, his parents will be eager to support and help him all the way.
"Um."
Qin Lang nodded directly, and was quite satisfied with the place. He turned his head to look at the Long brothers and sisters and the middle-aged man.
"Please help me pull my suitcase to the room I've chosen. After that, you can go down the mountain first. Otherwise, it will be difficult to walk on the road after dark."
Unexpectedly, it was Qin Lang who accepted everything directly. The other three people wanted to refute, but in the end they chose to remain silent and followed Qin Lang.
The program crew followed Qin Lang into Yujiang Village, a place that had been deserted for two years. After entering from the main gate, there were houses on both sides. There was a huge locust tree at the entrance of the village that looked very dark. After walking forward, they found a house with a large yard. Qin Lang pushed the door open and walked in.
This really looked like a haunted house. As Qin Lang pushed open the door, creaking sounds, many people watching the live broadcast held their breath.
However, the yard was actually well-lit by sunlight. The yard was full of weeds and many unknown small flowers, so it didn't look so scary at all.
Then everyone followed in, entered from the yard, and went into the house. They found that the house had a large living room, and then there were several bedrooms. Each bedroom was quite large, and there were no beds, but earthen kangs made of earth.
"I'll just stay here."
This earthen kang was very large, basically occupying half of the room. As soon as Qin Lang spoke, the other people immediately became restless.
"I...I want to live with you, Brother Qin, is that okay?"
Yin Sihan even called out "brother" because he was really scared! He was only eighteen years old, how could he not be afraid of this?
Su Dongfeng was actually quite scared too. When he saw Yin Sihan speak, he also spoke quickly.
"Brother Qin, this bed is so big, I want to live here too, is that okay?"
This earthen kang is dirty, but fortunately it can be cleaned and put something on it. It seems that there is no electric light in this room. When I just came in, the film crew was using the lights of the crew to illuminate it.
"I, I want to stay here too. Don't worry, I brought pajamas with me. I won't be exposed, and I won't disturb you. I also brought three quilts. I can take them out if you need them."
It's so scary here. Shui Lianlian, a girl, would rather sleep with three boys than sleep alone. She is really scared.
Qin Lang thought about it and agreed. He felt that a camera would definitely be installed in this room in the end, so he nodded.
"Okay then, take out your quilts and sheets. Did you two bring these things?"
The two boys who were asked shook their heads. They really didn't expect the program crew to be so kind as not to give them a normal house.
"Then you guys find something to clean this bed first."
Qin Lang was making arrangements, but he didn't expect that the three troublemakers would actually listen to him. The few people who followed him were also hesitant to speak, thinking that this place was not livable, but they were recording a program and could not interrupt.
In the end, these people were sent to the village gate and allowed to leave.
"...My sister and I will come over to visit you in a week. Here are some toilet water, medicated oil, a lighter, a small electric lamp, and my sister's folding fan. You can use them first. I'll come back and bring you some daily necessities."
Diao Longyun was worried about taking such an expensive thing from someone else, so he decided to come and check it out after a week.
"Thank you."
Qin Lang nodded in thanks, and the middle-aged man next to him also expressed his desire to come over, as he still thought that this house was not comfortable to live in.
The others didn't say much. After all, this place was too scary and they just wanted to leave immediately!
So the people who were carrying the suitcases together left the village and started going down the mountain.
It was three o'clock. After Qin Lang returned to the house, he found that the program crew had installed cameras everywhere in the room he selected. In this way, they could cut the shots directly at night, which was very convenient.
The bedroom was cleaned tidy. The earthen kang was nearly three meters long and two and a half meters wide. On the left side was covered with the pink quilt brought by Shui Lianlian, and on the right side, next to the right wall, was Qin Lang's dark blue velvet blanket.
The two silly young masters didn't bring anything with them. Although the two suitcases were so big, they were full of clothes and shoes. There were also some snacks and chocolates that the production team didn't take away. It seemed that they knew there was nothing in this village, so they left these snacks specifically.
The program crew has gone outside now. After all, they have been filming for a whole day and they also need to eat. There are surveillance cameras in the room. The village is so run-down that I believe the children dare not run around.
This is true. In Qin Lang's memory, the three of them saw such a village and made a big fuss, but there was nothing they could do. They couldn't leave at all, so they had to stay here to live. Moreover, they were scared to death when they arrived at the village late at night, and it was raining, so everything in their suitcases was soaked.
At least the room looked normal now. Everyone had taken out their clothes and filled them with zippered tops to make pillows, which looked pretty cute.
The three of them looked at Qin Lang eagerly, and suddenly a gurgling sound came from the room.
Yin Sihan's ears suddenly turned red, and he immediately held his stomach and said, "I'm starving! I didn't eat much this morning, and I'm hungry now. Are you hungry? I have snacks in my suitcase, biscuits, chocolate, and beef jerky. Want some?"
After all, they were in trouble together, so Yin Sihan didn't plan to eat alone.
"I have snacks and milk too. Who wants some? My grandma insisted on putting it in there for me."
At this time, he really wanted to thank grandma. Su Dongfeng hurried to rummage through the suitcase, and even Shui Lianlian hurriedly said.
"I brought food too, but I brought salted eggs. I'll take them right away!"
The three of them quickly took out the delicious food from the suitcase and soon filled the entire bed with it. Qin Lang didn't like snacks, or to be more precise, the original owner didn't like snacks, so there was no food in the suitcase, only drinks. After opening it, it was full of canned coffee and sleeping pills. These were his own habits.
Above their heads was a light bulb installed by the production crew. Although it was past three o'clock outside, the room still needed light. The four young men, exhausted from a long day, stood by the bed and began to eat, marking the beginning of their first day of transformation in Yujiang Village...
