Ke Meiyu was a little confused. She subconsciously touched her face and asked, puzzled, "What's wrong?"
The old aunt said with a smile, "Our commune doesn't show movies unless it's a holiday. And each time we show a movie, it's shown in rotation among the villages below. You could say it's been several years since we've had a chance to see it again."
"I didn't expect that we would be showing a movie here on your second day. If it weren't for your good fortune, Yu Bao'er, we wouldn't know how to explain this unusual situation."
Ji Yanfei, who was having dinner at home, couldn't help but say, "I know, it must be those sisters-in-law who wanted to see a movie yesterday and tried to get Bao Bao to talk. And today it came true..."
As soon as she finished speaking, a group of people surged into the courtyard gate.
"Is Yu Bao'er here? I had an extra boiled egg at home, can you take one and help my daughter-in-law check if it's a boy or a girl in her belly..."
"Little Ke, are you eating? Our sweet potatoes this year are red-fleshed, especially sweet and juicy. Here, have a taste. Feel my little grandson's cheeks; may he be bright and successful in the future..."
"Yu Bao'er, do you like this floral fabric? My relative brought it from the provincial capital, and I think it suits you very well... Can you say something to me? It doesn't have to be much, just tell me if you can find the five yuan I lost last time I went to the market in my yard?"
The Ji family members' expressions changed, and they stepped forward to block the frenzied villagers.
Ke Meiyu was dumbfounded. So even she couldn't be a lucky charm anymore?
Uncle Ji shouted, "Folks, what are you doing? Your words will bring disaster! Wake up!"
"Ji San, don't eat the meat yourself but not let others have the broth! Your niece is quite something, she has a silver tongue, whatever she says comes true. We all live in the same village, what's wrong with letting her say a few words for us?"
The villagers shouted together, believing that the law would not punish the masses.
Moreover, who would care about these things when faced with huge profits?
Uncle Ji's face turned ashen. "Everyone, calm down! You can't believe such nonsense as 'the prophecy comes true' just because my niece said it. If whatever she says is true, would our Ji family be living like this?"
The villagers were stunned. Thinking of the Ji family, whose lineage was about to be wiped out, they couldn't think straight for a moment and looked at each other.
"But Yu Bao'er said she wanted to see a movie, and it's showing today. Officer Ji, how do you explain that?"
Uncle Ji calmly said, "Since the founding of our Xia Huaguo, life has gotten better year by year. The town leaders have long said that we farmers have worked hard all year and deserve to relax and watch a movie."
"This year's movie is not only being shown in our village, but also in other places."
"Isn't it because you heard that other villages were showing movies and you were so envious that you teased my niece to ask for help?"
The villagers thought about it and realized that it was indeed true, but the timing was too coincidental!
It's unbelievable that they were able to watch a movie without hearing a single word.
However, after looking around, they still believed that Ke Meiyu was a lucky charm, but they decided to wait until there were fewer people and secretly tell the Ji family.
After seeing everyone off, the Ji family quickly locked the door and breathed a sigh of relief.
Uncle Ji looked at Ke Meiyu and couldn't help but say, "Yu Bao'er, why don't you say something and let every village show the movie?"
His aunt couldn't help but push him, "How did you explain this to others just now? So that's what you think too?"
Uncle Ji said with a wry smile, "I was just making that up!"
"There is a village that shows movies, but that village is special. There is an old man from Kyoto who is recuperating here."
"In an effort to curry favor with him, his subordinates arranged for a film about the War of Resistance against Japan to be shown, which is why the villagers took notice of him."
Ke Meiyu smiled and nodded, then clasped her hands together devoutly and said, "The New Year is almost here, so let's all join in the fun! The movie will be shown from today until the fifteenth, rotating through each village so the villagers can go from one screening to another!"
The Ji family was completely taken aback by her serious attitude and ridiculous words.
They suddenly felt that perhaps it was all just a coincidence, and that they couldn't just believe whatever Ke Meiyu said.
The commune usually shows two or three movies a year, which makes the villagers feel like it's the New Year. But now they're going to show movies from today until the fifteenth. Are they kidding me?
Even the most powerful immortals wouldn't have this ability, would they?
Regardless, everyone is already looking forward to the movie screening tonight.
In the afternoon, everyone carried stools and folding stools to the threshing ground to secure good spots for their families.
The surrounding villages also heard the news, and villagers flocked here in droves, so much so that the drying ground was already packed with people before it even got dark!
The Ji family had eaten dinner early. Uncle Ji called all the younger members of the family together and told them that those with wives should keep a close eye on their wives, and those without wives should keep a close watch on their daughters. Although the villagers were simple and honest, to the point that no one would pick up lost items on the road.
But there are always exceptions. Their family is already in such a state that it simply cannot withstand any more accidents or malicious acts.
Furthermore, showing movies at night, with its dim lighting and a diverse crowd, presents an ideal opportunity for criminals to commit evil deeds.
Women were dragged into fields and raped, children were abducted, and old women lay dead in the wilderness...
This is one of the reasons why the organization is reluctant to show more movies.
Ke Meiyu and Ji Yanfei walked hand in hand with the crowd to the drying ground, followed by several tense brothers.
They sat on stools on the branches of low trees, swinging their legs, eating snacks and watching movies, looking very content.
Taking advantage of the darkness, Ke Meiyu released a paper talisman figure from her spatial storage.
The little guy slowly floated from her fingertip to the ground, transforming into an ordinary-looking young man. He evaded everyone's notice and, when he was almost at the edge of the forest, the talisman transformed into the appearance of Ke Meiyu!
When "she" arrived at the edge of the forest, she encountered Qi Banxian, who was standing on the bluestone waiting for someone.
"How did you know I was coming?" Ke Meiyu asked, raising an eyebrow.
Qi Banxian nimbly jumped down from the bluestone, put his hands in his pockets, and nodded: "That's right, Comrade Ke's feelings for Madam Ji are genuine, you will definitely come back to find us."
Ke Meiyu sneered, "You guys seem pretty sure of yourself."
"Who told you that among all the people in this area, we are the only ones who could help you?"
With a nonchalant expression, Qi Banxian turned and headed up the mountain.
This time, Ke Meiyu didn't follow, but said softly, "How about we make a deal?"
Qi Banxian paused, turned around, and raised an eyebrow with great interest: "Tell me about it."
"Do me a favor, and I'll help you break free from the Qi family's control over you, how about it?"
Qi Banxian was stunned for a moment, then he quickly looked around and walked up to her.
