177, eventful autumn [five thousand words monthly pass]
Lu Weiwei, who was eating from the crew, discovered a problem.
To be more precise, after arriving in Xinghua Village, Lu Weiwei had the mentality of visiting the class, observing the living conditions of the event participants, that is, these rich people.
They were also followed and photographed while they were eating...
At this time, they were squatting at the door of a private house, and several people looked at each other with a wry smile.
Several puppies and cubs squatted next to them, staring at the food in their bowls from time to time, waiting for the delicious food to fall from the sky.
Lu Weiwei touched Gu Chen with her arm and asked him: "Junior Brother Gu, do you think those people look like rich people?"
Gu Chen took a few mouthfuls of rice, turned around and took a look, saying, "Rich people don't write the word 'rich' on their foreheads. Without those flashy things, they look like ordinary people no matter what."
people."
"That's right. Without those honors, wouldn't we just be ordinary people?" Lu Weiwei also echoed.
After the two of them finished their dinner and left their food money, they came to several wealthy participants.
The eating scene here has also been filmed...
Several photographers, lighting engineers and set managers also said "ouch" with relief, then shook their arms and hurried to the crew's logistics department to have dinner.
Lu Weiwei glanced at the rice bowls of several people and was shocked at the time: "The crew eats so well, but you only eat cucumbers and vegetables? You only have this little bit of meat?"
"I live in a poor family." A middle-aged man wearing glasses said: "The sons of two old people usually work in other places and rarely go home. The old couple usually live frugally and want to save money.
I gave my son some money to buy an apartment in the city, so I usually eat like this."
Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei recognized him at a glance. Isn't this the man leading the big ox at the entrance of the village? They had seen him before entering the village.
"Is it you? We met at the entrance of the village." Lu Weiwei exclaimed.
"Hello, female police officer, we met at the entrance of the village." The man with glasses nodded politely, and then began to forcefully stuff the rice.
"Is the food not delicious?" Gu Chen couldn't help but asked when he saw that he had difficulty swallowing.
"No." The bespectacled man shook his head and said, "The food is pretty good, but I'm not used to it. After all, I have very high requirements for taste. I have to use Fiji water for cooking, so..."
After saying this, the man paused and said: "Forget it, my current identity is the son of an old couple. These days I am experiencing life and adapting to life. In the following days, I have to use my practical abilities to help this family get rid of
to help them get rid of poverty and become rich."
"Then what did you gain from these few days of experience?" Gu Chen was also curious about what was novel about such a test.
The man waved his hands and said with a wry smile: "At first, several of our friends who participated in the program agreed that as long as a person has the ability, he will not stay at the bottom forever. But after a few days of experience, we all found that we
All the energy is wasted on eating three meals a day.”
"Isn't that right? Food is the most important thing for the people." Bai Xiaolan came over at some unknown time and joined in the discussion.
"That's right." The man with glasses nodded and affirmed: "The cost of traveling during the day is unaffordable, and I even have to walk to the town and live in the countryside at night to survive. Over the past few days, several participants have stopped mentioning it.
Ability and fighting spirit are no longer mentioned. They realize that this kind of life is completely hopeless."
He looked at the food in his bowl and couldn't help but sneered: "Now all we think about every day is what to eat next, and we have no energy to plan for the future. Moreover, the living expenses paid by the crew are not enough to make a living, let alone other developments."
"So you try your best to live like an ordinary person?" Gu Chen's words instantly broke his heart.
After the man with glasses gave a wry smile, he secretly began to wipe away his tears.
Yes, the crew ate delicious food there, and I and a group of participants ate ordinary food here. We were tired every day and just wanted to eat something good.
The once privileged life has fallen to the bottom...
In fact, these people are the so-called proud men of heaven.
In my own family business, I have a good platform and achievements, and I think I am very capable.
Thinking back to the various chicken soups I posted in my circle of friends, I despised ordinary people for being unmotivated, thinking that they deserved it for not working hard because they couldn't afford a house.
But now that he has been in Xinghua Village for a few days, the man with glasses can no longer bear it.
He patted his swollen legs and said to Gu Chen with a smile: "Comrade police, do you know? The number of steps I have taken in the past few days is enough for me in a month. I don't have a luxury car when I go out, so I rely on my two feet to go out."
My legs, after I went to clean the yard and came back to the room, I couldn’t straighten my legs. Two people couldn’t hold on any longer and they had already quit the recording.”
"Isn't that very shameful? Isn't this a slap in the face?" Lu Weiwei was also curious, where did the original heroic words go?
"Do we, the talkers, still have the face?" The man with glasses looked at Lu Weiwei with a wry smile: "We are just from a better family, and we have won at the starting line since we were born. We really have no right to say that others don't work hard. Some things can only be done by ourselves.
Only when you experience it will you know.”
"So, will you continue to complete the filming?" Bai Xiaolan couldn't help but ask.
At first, I thought this experimental online variety show would be interesting, but now it seems that it is not interesting at all.
At least two people have already announced their withdrawal, as they can no longer bear the rural life after only two days.
Bai Xiaolan even checked the information of the two people who quit the show. On everyone's Weibo, apart from luxury cars, they also had cocktail parties, or some so-called industry summit forums.
The text accompanying the pictures is always useless nonsense, such as "Just work hard and leave the rest to God?"
For example, "If you fall down, dust yourself off and stand up. The world is still uncertain, and you and I are both dark horses."
These words are simply easy to say in the eyes of these wealthy people who came from a golden age.
But after the empathy experience, everyone was silent.
The rural life these days has made it clear to these rich people who have experienced life.
As long as you persist, you will find that luck will happen to others.
If you endure hardships, your heart will become even more clogged.
And sometimes, as soon as you make up your mind to do something, the whole world will hold you back.
"Those people who quit the program seem to be willing to help these poor households, but they are unable to do so. They exclude wealth and use their own strength to help these poor households get out of poverty quickly." The man with glasses pushed up his glasses.
.
"So everyone can talk empty talk, but what can really be done is to be down-to-earth and analyze specific problems in detail." Gu Chen also gave his own opinion.
"The police comrade is right." The man with glasses said with a wry smile: "I will never talk about useless nonsense again, nor will I say that ordinary people's poor life is because they don't work hard enough. Everyone's life situation
Different, the trajectories of life will be different.”
Looking at the clock on the wall inside the room, the man with glasses turned back and said, "The filming crew of the person you are looking for should be back soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a rapid barking of dogs at the entrance of the village, and there were also many people shouting loudly.
"Is there a doctor? Someone is injured."
Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei and Bai Xiaolan looked at each other and immediately got up and ran towards the entrance of the village.
Many people gathered at the entrance of the village, including police officer Wang and photographer Wu Jun.
Many crew members who were dining with the crew also rushed to the scene with bowls and chopsticks.
"Ah! It hurts...it hurts me so much."
"Help, help me quickly!"
A man was being helped to sit on the seat. There were bloodstains all over his body and he was screaming in pain.
"What's going on?" a crew leader exclaimed: "How could this person be injured like this? We're not filming a martial arts movie!"
The director had obviously been on a martial arts set. Judging from the scars on the injured man's body, it was obvious that he had been injured by a sharp weapon.
"When our team was filming a mission in the forest, when we came back at night, we were attacked by a strange man in black. This man was alone in the forest when he went to the toilet and was cut more than 20 times by the man in black. Fortunately, our crew
People heard the cry and arrived in time, otherwise he would be dead."
A crew member said tremblingly, still looking shocked.
Gu Chen also squeezed through the crowd, came to Officer Wang, and asked, "What's going on, Senior Brother Wang?"
"Someone was attacked in the mountains and suffered more than twenty cuts."
"Eh? Who is so cruel?" When Bai Xiaolan saw the man's wounds, she couldn't help but hide behind Gu Chen.
The scene suddenly exploded.
It was originally a harmonious environment, but suddenly everyone began to become nervous because of the scars on the man's body.
"Is there such a pervert in our place?"
"Injuring someone more than twenty times? This person is too cruel."
"Isn't that right? It's not nearby, is it?"
Many of the crew members were panicked, but the villagers were obviously even more panicked. One of them exclaimed: "It can't be the same crazy thing as last time. The second child of the Liu family is still in the hospital."
This statement made everyone's eyes immediately focus on a tall and thin old man.
The old man frowned and said angrily: "Don't worry about this for now. It's more important to save people quickly. Go find the village doctor."
"I'll go." A middle-aged man volunteered, turned around and ran towards the corner of the village.
Not long after, a medium-sized resident doctor trotted over with a first aid kit.
Everyone quickly voluntarily made way for a passage.
"How could it be so injured?" the middle-aged village doctor asked puzzledly.
"Maybe it was the lunatic last time." A ten-year-old boy interjected.
But when he saw the tall and thin village chief staring at him, he immediately lowered his head and retreated into the crowd.
Gu Chen obviously discovered these small details, walked up to the village chief and asked: "Are you the village chief?"
"Yes." The tall and thin old man nodded and glanced at Gu Chen's police uniform, his mood was extremely complicated.
"Then can you tell me what's going on?" Gu Chen asked again.
The old village chief frowned, looked around at the crowd of eyes, and couldn't help but said to Gu Chen: "Comrade police, why don't we go to the village committee to talk."
Although Gu Chen didn't know clearly, he felt that there must be something strange here.
Officer Wang asked several people who were returning to the village together: "Where are the other members of your film crew?"
"Still on the way, should be there soon." A man in a vest said.
"Lu Weiwei, just stay here and wait to see if Hu Mengyao is back. Gu Chen and I will go to the village committee."
"Don't worry, Lao Wang, leave this to me." Lu Weiwei nodded and agreed.
Arriving at the village committee, in a spacious room, the old village chief and several elderly people in the village closed the door and pulled out stools for Gu Chen and Officer Wang to sit down.
"Old village chief, what exactly happened here? What's going on with that lunatic?"
Gu Chen also learned from the on-site analysis that the murderer might be a psychopath, but he didn't know much about the specific situation, so he could only ask the old village chief for clues.
"You don't know. Some time ago, a villager in our village was cut more than 20 times by a man in black in the forest near the village. He is still lying in Panlong Town Central Hospital recovering from his injuries."
The old village chief said.
"When did it happen? Can you give a specific time?" Officer Wang also asked.
The old village chief and several old men looked at each other, and then silently counted the time in their hearts.
"It was...ten days ago." An old man said first.
"No, it was nine days ago." Another person expressed a different opinion.
"Anyway, it was either ten days or nine days. That's basically the time." The old village chief couldn't remember clearly, so he could only give an approximate time.
"Then that villager ten days ago, why was he injured?" Gu Chen habitually started the investigation process and began to ask some key questions: "Could he have offended someone?"
The old village chief still looked serious and said: "We thought so at first. In order to find out more, we even asked the second son of the Liu family, oh, the one who was injured ten days ago."
Afraid that Gu Chen wouldn't understand, the old village chief specifically explained that he was the second eldest son of the Liu family.
"But after I asked about it later, I found out that the second son of the Liu family has always been a dedicated farmer. He has never provoked anyone and is usually a very nice person." Another old man provided information about the injured.
"That means that the motive of the murderer who injured the injured person is unknown?" Gu Chen frowned.
"Yes." The old man nodded and said: "So we all agree that the person who hurt people may be a psychopath. After all, he hurt people more than 20 times, but did not hurt anyone. This means that the man in black may have been cutting randomly.
.”
"I don't agree with your opinion." Another old man put forward a different view: "This can only say that the man in black is good at swordsmanship. He is a warning. You saw those knife wounds just now, and he suffered more than twenty knife wounds.
, and ambushed the lone person, which is obviously targeting our Xinghua Village."
The old village chief had a sad face and sighed heavily: "It seems that our Xinghua Village is about to have a troubled time."
"Tuk tuk tuk!" At this time, someone knocked on the door of the room.
A heavy voice shouted: "Is the village chief here? I am the crew director, Lao Guo."
"Lao Guo?"
Several old men suddenly frowned.
One of the old men held his forehead and said nervously: "If someone is injured twice in a row, Lao Guo will definitely have opinions."
"Open the door. It's a blessing, not a curse. It's a curse that cannot be avoided." The old village chief said calmly with a cold face.
Gu Chen took the initiative to open the door and saw a middle-aged man wearing a peaked cap walking into the room with two male and female assistants.
"Village Chief, why didn't you tell me in advance that there was a psychopath hurting people near your village? What if someone on my crew was injured?" The director obviously came to question the crime.
The crew is now in panic. If Xinghuacun does not give an explanation, it will inevitably make everyone question the safety of the work.
"Director Guo, it's not that I want to hide anything." The old village chief also said angrily: "It's just that a bizarre incident of hurting someone happened some time ago. We thought that someone in the village had offended someone, and they came to take revenge on him, but later
This matter will be left alone, but who knew that such a bizarre thing would happen again today, and we are very helpless."
"Then I don't care." Director Guo said angrily with a straight face: "We have invested a lot of resources from framing to shooting. Now if we are asked to temporarily change the shooting location, who will pay for the lost time and equipment depreciation?
Responsible? You will bear it?"
The old village chief waved his hand: "Director Guo, please stop joking. Our village has no money to compensate you. How can we have money?"
"You can't blame the old village chief." Officer Wang sat there and observed for a while, and finally said: "This matter is rather strange. Before it is determined, talking about compensation is a bit too much."
"Then what about our missed work expenses?" A female assistant stood up and said: "To be honest, we don't want this. It would be best if we could shoot everything in Xinghua Village."
"But now people are panicking. Many crew members are saying that they should quit their job and go back to the city instead of staying here. If we can't keep them, the show will not be filmed. Our daily budget expenses are very huge.
This is our biggest headache right now, so Director Guo came to discuss it with you."
"Gu Chen, what do you think?" Officer Wang was unable to answer the female assistant's question for the time being, so he had to ask the staff general Gu Chen beside him.
Gu Chen held his chin and thought deeply for a moment, then said: "Judging from the two injuries, the murderer's method of committing the crime is really powerful, but the injured people are all villagers of Xinghua Village. Can I understand that he is not targeting the crew?"
, but Xinghua Village.”
"That's right." The old village chief also said: "The injured are all the villagers of Xinghua Village. Your crew is filming, so there is no need to worry."
Although it was very reluctant to say this, the old village chief still had to say it.
The crew is a God of Wealth, and every day they spend in Xinghua Village can bring a lot of wealth to Xinghua Village.
Once the crew chooses to evacuate Xinghua Village, not only the crew but also Xinghua Village will suffer losses, which will be of no benefit to anyone.
Director Guo lowered his head to discuss with several assistants, and then said: "I hope this kind of thing will never happen again. I just believe you once. I will go back to comfort the crew's emotions. You can rest assured about this."
"Thank you so much, Director Guo." The old village chief stood up instantly to express his gratitude to Director Guo.
The crew left, still mumbling, as if they were aggrieved by this kind of thing, but they could only make do with it.
As soon as the people over there left, Lu Weiwei ran in quickly.
