B-level director

Chapter 49

They arrived at the largest hotel in the city, passed through magnificent revolving doors, and stepped onto marble floors.Under the big chandelier, bright red plastic flowers stand upright. Behind the walnut wood counter, instant noodles and mineral water are still sold like a state-run hotel 20 years ago.

In a dark corner behind the sofa in the lobby, there are some old magazines and brochures.Brother Qi picked up the magazine, flipped through it casually, and when he put it back on the dusty shelf, he caught a glimpse of some travel brochures on the lower floor.Judging from the typesetting and paper quality, these booklets are older than magazines, and it is estimated that they have been discarded in them all the time, and they are not even worth cleaning up.Brother Qi was startled, and put the booklet into his coat.

Cheng Tianlu and Brother Qi lived in the same room, tantamount to disclosing their relationship to the public.Uncle Hai didn't say anything, just invited them to have dinner together.

Tong Yiru and the two photographers were shooting around, no matter how they were shot, it was the shabby feeling of the small county town trying hard to be decent, even Tong Yiru himself was a bit bleak.Soon she became bored, and said with a little temper: "Call the work, Podi!"

She stepped on high heels and walked on the dark purple rough carpet, feeling that the air was turbid.At the end of the long corridor, Xu Mengsi dragged her suitcase and was opening the door.

Tong Yiru walked over with strides, and came first with a smile: "Sister, I can't open the door."

"Ah."

"I'll help you," she affectionately wanted to take the room card, when a sudden force pushed her against the wall, her long hair was pulled painfully, in a panic, Xu Mengsi stared at her with eyes full of fine lines , opened his mouth and said with a smile: "Bitch, don't harass Brother Qi! What kind of tricks do you dare to play, I will tear you up and throw you into the mountains!"

Xu Mengsi let go of her, the room card was close to the lock plate, there was a beep, the green light turned on, and she walked into the room.

Tong Yiru was panting, staring angrily at the door, her bright red lips almost biting to bleed.

As soon as Brother Qi entered the room, he put his luggage away, took off his coat, slumped on the sofa, and picked up the travel brochure to read.Cheng Tianlu sighed, and began to pack Qi Geer's luggage, took out the toiletries, and put away the wallet, mobile phone and charger.

Brother Qi: "I want to drink water."

"Hey, good sir."

He opened the bottle cap, wiped the mouth of the bottle with a paper towel, and then handed the water to Brother Qi.Cheng Tianlu sat down next to him, "Your mother is too wise not to let you go out of town. If you don't have ten or eight entourages to take care of you, let alone your ID card and mobile phone, you won't even know if you lost it."

Brother Qi lay on his lap: "It's enough for you to take care of me."

Cheng Tianlu smiled wryly, "I raised a disabled child." Gently stroked the hair on Brother Qi's forehead, "What are you looking at?"

"Look what's going on here."

"This booklet has been around for more than ten years. Attractions such as botanical gardens, bird gardens, and cultural relics museums are all built following the trend, and they usually close within a few years."

"What does this barbed wire mean?"

"Borderline."

"Border?!" Brother Qi sat up, "Is it possible to go abroad here?"

"This county is connected to Southeast Asia, but the border is far away. It is more than 200 kilometers from here. It is impossible for ordinary people to cross the border, and the People's Liberation Army guards it."

Brother Qi lay down again.After struggling to read two lines of words, he put down the brochure tiredly and said, "Without the introduction of churches and bungalows, isn't that considered a tourist area?"

"Locals don't go in, and they don't bring tourists in."

"why?"

"Haunted, aliens, zombie gathering place, the eighth dimension. There are many reasons. Do you want the director to go and see for himself?"

Brother Qi picked up the brochure again, "Well, I'll definitely check it out one day."

Cheng Tianlu ignored him, opened the phone's reading software, and found the stored papers.This is an economic study, starting from the popular color TV, to explain the prosperity and decline of the township economy.Color TV used to be a luxury item, and it was an indicator of a family’s economic strength. One section of the thesis analyzed the buying tide of color TV in nearby villages and towns. I opened the map and searched all day long. This town was indeed close to Bozikou, the hometown that Uncle Hai remembered.Looking at the data, the consumption power of this township is twice that of similar towns, which means that it was once rich.But judging from the current situation, there are only individual agriculture, a few industries and scattered mining industries there. Why do they get rich?

He wrote down the name and unit of the author of the thesis, and planned to return to Beijing to visit and ask for advice.

In the large private room for dinner, everyone sat in a group, the table was covered with red and green vegetables, and the hot and sour smell lingered in the nostrils.People were chatting one after another. Seeing the sluggish atmosphere, Ban Wu raised his glass and said, "Everyone, you have worked hard on the road. This is the first time for me to come here. The mountains and rivers are beautiful, which is really good."

Cheng Tianlu cheered: "There are snow-capped mountains in the north. When the weather is good, you can see them, surrounded by clouds and mist, like fairy mountains. There are also many orchards. It is not cold in winter, and the apples are crisp and sweet."

The atmosphere became a little more lively, but the topic of eating, drinking and having fun was overshadowed by the disappearance incident, and the dinner table was never lively.Uncle Hai asked for a bottle of high-quality liquor, and said loudly: "I'm angry with the leaders here. They let go of their words and will definitely try their best to help us find someone! Come on, we should drink and eat, the chef here No. [-] in the city, the taste is authentic.”

Among these people, only Brother Qi was not affected by the low air pressure, and asked Cheng Tianlu: "I haven't seen you four days ago, have you searched all over the city?"

"A small town is not like a big city. The population flow is very small. If you go out and ask someone, you are guaranteed to know someone without asking the fourth one. Personal connections are more effective than surveillance cameras. Anyone with abnormalities will be found out soon."

"That means they're out of town?"

The box door opened, and several middle-aged men in shirts and leather shoes came in.Uncle Hai had a clear eye and a clever heart, and immediately stood up and shook hands to greet him.Cheng Tianlu put down his chopsticks, and his heart skipped a beat: "The leaders of the city came here in person? Our face is too great."

The leader has a square face and a thin beard on his lips. When he came to shake hands all day long, he showed his yellow teeth: "Reporter from Chengda University! I recognize you, I haven't seen you for many years."

The two sides said a set of polite words and took their seats.Ling Lingjiu smiled next to Cheng Tianlu's ear, "The editor-in-chief is really likable, the leader manages a lot of things every day, and I still miss you even after ten years."

Cheng Tianlu said softly: "Don't dare, I didn't bring him any benefits, I didn't offend him, and if I say I'm not handsome enough to make the leader worry about it, why do you think he remembers me?"

Zero Zero Nine One Rin stopped talking.Chengtianlu felt like he was being watched.

After drinking two glasses of wine, the leader's secretary said in a northern way: "Everyone is here to find two missing persons? We sent all the police forces and searched in the nearby mountains. We have exhausted all means. There is no good news. There have been several calls recently. The media came here and asked around. To be honest, it added a lot of work to our law enforcement department. There are procedures and methods for investigating cases and finding people.

Everyone was silent.

Uncle Hai smiled: "Yes, that's right. We absolutely trust the police, and we will definitely not cause trouble. This time, two directors also came, mainly to see the local conditions and customs. The new film is shot in our city, which will greatly affect our city's popularity and reputation." There are benefits."

The secretary smiled and made no comment.Seeing that the scene was a bit stiff, Tong Yiru raised his glass and said, "Leader, I would like to toast you."

The leader's eyes rolled around her, raised his cup, touched it, and drank it down in one gulp.Tong Yiru smiled delicately: "Good drinker, I'm done, I'll have another drink with you."

The leader laughed: "Drink slowly. Hu, open a bottle of red wine."

Secretary Xiao Hu changed seats with Tong Yiru and asked her to sit next to the leader.The red wine bottomed out, the leader became more and more out of shape, and his hands touched Tong Yiru's body all over.Tong Yiru gritted his teeth and endured, the scene was unsightly.

Brother Qi stood up, patted Tong Yiru on the back, changed seats with Tong Yiru, and said to the leader, "I'll drink with you. Shall we drink the white one, or the red and the white one together? "

Tong Yiru sat on the side of Chengtian Road gracefully, lit a cigarette, and softly sarcastically said: "I didn't expect a large group of men, Brother Qi cares about me the most."

Cheng Tianlu: "Because he has the smallest mind and doesn't know how to watch people order dishes."

"You really love him," Tong Yiru said, and the smoke sprayed onto Cheng Tianlu's face, "Justice reporter, you just watch me being bullied and remain indifferent?"

"My heart has been pitted by you, and now I'm left with a dog's lungs. Auntie, please calm down, the environment here is harsh, we will not hold each other back, huh?"

Tong Yiru raised her legs and smoked silently.

The leader's ass looked like nails, and he just stared at Brother Qi with a sullen face.Brother Qi was not a showman, so he didn't care, he should eat and drink, and the leader couldn't sit still for a long time, so he said goodbye and left.Secretary Xiao Hu escorted him to the car, and then turned back.

Hu Mi's age looks younger than Cheng Tianlu's, and his tone is amiable, but the long and bright eyes behind the rimless glasses always remind people of indifferent lizards.The enthusiasm for pushing cups and changing lamps on the scene has faded. Just when everyone was feeling tired, Xiao Hu said: "We have a famous scenic spot here, Gazile Mountain. This mountain is covered with snow all the year round. If you are lucky on a sunny day, you can see it. The sacred mountain appeared on the clouds. It is said that making a wish on the sacred mountain is very effective.”

"You still have to try your luck on a sunny day? Can the holy mountain still change?"

"That's right," Xiao Hu glanced around, "Why is it called Shenshan, because this mountain will move. It is said that there are many mountain people living on the mountain. No matter how hard you search, there is no trace of them. They appear and disappear with the mountains."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.The corner of Cheng Tianlu's mouth slightly raised: "Many high mountains have such stories. In fact, the snow mountains are very beautiful. Even if there are no such legends, they can still attract mountain tourists."

Xiao Hu shook his head, stretched his glasses and said, "The editor-in-chief has been here. Have you ever heard of someone climbing a snow-capped mountain? The snow-capped mountain looks like it is in front of our eyes, but it is actually hundreds of kilometers away. For us, In fact, it is the land of nowhere."

The land of nowhere... Everyone thought about these mysterious and mysterious words. "The land of nowhere doesn't exist at all. People are catching the wind and telling the story vividly. This story is interesting or quite interesting. It's all nonsense. Just listen to it and be happy. Don't take the legend seriously." Xiao Hu stood up Get up, smile and nod: "Have fun, everyone, and come to me anytime if you need anything."
