Chapter 12 Mai Ji

Flesh and blood fell on the brick pavement of the street, and the tall weirdo stood there, his face that could not be seen clearly exuded the shadow of death.

Lei Yue retreated step by step, his breathing becoming erratic, and his right hand trembling slightly held down the pistol in his arms that was shaking due to staggering.

...No, go, go away!

The crow is not an illusion, so this weirdo may not be an illusion either...

But it's not a friend, it's a nightmare.

Lei Yue closed his eyes tightly, struggling to wake up from the nightmare from the chaos and chill in his heart.

He thought about good and happy things and his mother-in-law as he did in the past.

My mother-in-law's voice and smile came back to my mind, as well as her old man's voice that was so full of energy before: "Xiao Yue, we must be kind to others, and good deeds will be rewarded with good deeds..."

After a while, the confusion in his heart gradually calmed down, and Lei Yue carefully opened his eyes.

He fixed his eyes and gasped, only to see that the weirdo was gone, it was gone.

Gun? His right hand was motionless. The gun was still inside his clothes. It seemed to have become heavier. It seemed that the inverted triangle logo was getting hot.

"Boy, do you understand? Where are the people?"

At the same time, Sister Hua couldn't hear the response. When she looked back, she found Lei Yue stopped in the distance, looking at a film set on the roadside with a strange expression.

"Alas." She walked back quickly, "What are you looking at? It's the scene of a youth love web drama called "We Are Young and Sweet", a popular web drama."

"I, I just think..." Lei Yue looked at Sister Hua and let out a long sigh, "They are not acting like that."

"Why do you care so much? Whether they are performing or not is none of your business?"

Sister Hua glared at him, "Do you know who that is? Little fresh meat! He is handsome and beautiful. Many fans are satisfied when they see it. They shout 'brother' and spend their money. Do you have any objections?"

?”

"Oh." Lei Yue agreed again, not wanting to quarrel with Sister Hua, who already took good care of him.

Sister Hua is a good person, different from people like Chu Yundong...

Seeing that Lei Yue remained silent, Sister Hua curled her lips, shook her head and said:

"From tomorrow on, don't hang out in Modern Street. It's all about romance movies. I'll arrange for you to go to those movie sets in Modern Street. You should be more suitable to hang out there."

"Let's go, cover your face quickly." She shouted and strode away again.

A divine drama?

Lei Yue hesitated, and his mood became more and more complicated. It wasn't until the scary smile appeared on his rotten face again that he stepped up to follow.

There are no small roles, only small actors.

As long as it's a performance, that's fine.

…

The sky in Dongzhou is getting dark, and after night falls, all the location scenes for the film and television studio crew are replaced by night scenes.

In this place, there are many crews who continue to shoot day and night.

Lei Yue also continued to work with Sister Hua, and continued to work as a sidekick until nearly 22:00, when Sister Hua said it was time to call it a day.

On a street near Beimen Square, a dozen extras from the Hua Jie Long Troupe took their money and left.

Sister Hua finally paid for Lei Yue, while pressing her cell phone, she said:

"The market price is 50 yuan a day for group performances, but you have run so many shows today, and it is your first day, so I will give you some extra money. And tomorrow, we will meet at the North Gate at 7 o'clock in the morning, and I will take you to Modern Times

Over the street."

Lei Yue looked at his phone, and a new transfer reminder message popped up in the chat box with Sister Hua.

He clicked to confirm the payment, 100 yuan, and now his total net worth increased to 2,075 yuan.

"One hundred yuan." He said softly. He actually didn't earn much by playing a small role like this. It was all about feelings, the opportunity to be appreciated and become famous overnight...

"Yes, one hundred yuan, I've already given it to you. If you don't like it, you don't have to do it. Anyway, if you don't run away from this role, there will be others."

Sister Hua said this to him again, then turned and left, "I'm leaving."

No matter whether Lei Yue wants to stay in the film and television city or go back to live somewhere, that is none of her business.

"Bye Sister Hua, see you tomorrow..." Lei Yue waved to Sister Hua's back.

The night wind blew against my face and it was a bit cold.

Lei Yue stood in the road holding his backpack. Where to go next?

"Go home? Don't even think about taking a ride-hailing service online. You don't earn enough to take a ride-hailing service. There's no public transportation at this late hour, and..."

Lei Yue looked at the information on the "Furong Village Villagers Group" on his mobile phone. During the day, some people were talking about the recent smog in the village.

When he came out in the morning, he had thought about spending the night at the film and television city, but where to go?

Lei Yue looked around, the night was hazy, and there were few people on the street.

In the absence of special events, Modern Street cannot be entered or exited after eight o'clock in the evening. Even if tourists stay to watch the night view for a while, the point is almost gone.

Therefore, the shops and buildings on both sides of the street that were specially designed for filming suddenly appeared to be false, deserted, cold, and dead.

When silence invades the state of mind, all the ups and downs experienced today take the opportunity to emerge.

"Friend, this road is really difficult..."

Lei Yue looked up to the sky again, looking for something. He had looked for it countless times today.

There were no stars or bird shadows to be seen, only an arc of the waning moon reflecting the faint night mist.

He walked aimlessly for a while, looking at the night sky from time to time. Suddenly, just like every time he was unprepared in the past, he saw a strange shadow flying in the sky not far away, turning the waning moon into black.

The huge body, sharp long beak, and black feathers are cutting through the void of the night sky, stirring up the dense night fog.

That is obviously the crow friend!

"Hey, friend! I've found you."

Lei Yue suddenly shouted loudly, his depressed mood slightly recovering.

It is indeed here, and the film and television city is indeed the direction it leads.

He walked in the direction of the crow's flight, trying to cheer himself up, and complained: "I thought you were caught in jail, so I was going to buy some bacon to check on you."

However, the crow over there did not respond at all as usual, and seemed not to see him at all.

It flapped its wings like a torrent and continued to fly, but the flying height was about the same as when it took him to the garbage dump that night.

The crow is leading the way! Lei Yue's heart skipped a beat.

At this time, it suddenly appeared. Was it going to take me to the place where I would stay tonight?

"The next stop on my road may be right there..."

Lei Yue had some new expectations and followed the crow above in the lonely light of the night fog.

Gradually, the time is getting later and later, and there are fewer and fewer pedestrians on the road.

The North Gate Square was getting farther and farther away, and Lei Yue was about to walk out of the film and television city in another direction.

Just in this junction, there are some real shops on the street, and the dense neon signs are flashing red, blue, purple and green:

[Jiuwu Cuisine] [Special Coffee] [M] [Leji Restaurant] [Knowing Tea]

Even though people come and go during the day, at this time of the morning, these shops are deserted, and some even have their doors closed.

Lei Yue was standing on the side of the road when he suddenly saw the crow in the sky changing its flight path.

It swooped towards the row of shops, the neon light changing, blurring its traces.

"Hey!" He ran across the zebra crossing with no cars in surprise. In the blink of an eye, he lost sight of the black bird. He wondered if it had flown into the mean streets.

"Friend? Friend?" Lei Yue called several times, but still got no response.

However, before he thought too much, his eyes noticed a large neon sign that was still bright, with a red base, yellow letters and a row of white words:

【M, open 24 hours】

The shop was very large, occupying a large area of ​​the street. The decoration was simple and elegant, and the smiling face of a red-haired clown hung beside the signboard, Mai Ji.

"Oh." Lei Yue felt that he was gradually understanding it. He just spent tonight in Maiji, okay?

He walked towards the door of Mak Kee muttering a little, wondering if there was a bathroom inside where he could take a shower...

The light on the Mai Kee signboard was very dazzling. When he reached the main entrance, Lei Yue opened his head and peered inside.

I saw that the store was very quiet. There was a male employee wearing an M-shaped hat behind the counter. He looked at him, said nothing, and then looked at the computer again.

Lei Yue adjusted the mask on his face and smelled the aroma of food coming from the cabinet behind the counter, but there were not many chips, pastries, etc. inside.

Because the lunch box distributed by the crew in the evening was not very large, and he had to work for a few more hours in the evening, he was already a little hungry, and he couldn't help but swallow at this time.

Just when he thought of his savings, he gave up the idea of ​​ordering food and looked around, trying to find a place to spend the night.

At this early hour, there were not many customers coming in to eat, but there were many people at every table, chair, and corner.
