176:
The desert is quiet at night, eerily quiet. The bright moon in the sky casts a light and soft white gauze, making this land of yellow sand a bit gentle.
Jiang Mian moved very quickly after regaining her energy. Within a few minutes, she reached a depression and looked around. She didn't want to find the wolf's hiding place.
Sitting on the ground, Jiang Mian let out a low wolf howl.
This is the wolf language she learned in the world of cultivating immortals, and was also forced to learn it in that man-eating sand.
The past cannot be forgotten. Jiang Mian continued to speak wolf language. After five minutes, there was movement in the sand in the distance.
The wolf was very cautious. It didn't even make a sound, as if it was trying to determine whether it was dangerous.
It thought its whereabouts were very secretive, and the next second, a beam of bright light came over.
When it noticed it, it turned around and flew away, but as the "language" behind it approached, it stopped anxiously and dazedly.
Seeing the man approaching, he arched his back, bared his fangs, and made an attack posture - the animal's instinct made it feel the killing intent.
This was a very weak old wolf, skinny and skinny, with several wounds on its body that had rotted away and exuded an unpleasant putrid smell. Xiaoxue struggled and kicked the wolf, which landed on its wounds, causing it to escape.
It lets out an angry, threatening growl, driving enemies away.
Jiang Mian's eyes fell on the belly of the old wolf, and he instantly understood - this was not only an extremely weak old wolf, but also a mother.
No wonder it made it to the campground.
The murderous intention in Jiang Mian's body faded.
The old wolf paved the yellow sand on the ground manically. Jiang Mian took a step closer and took a step back. As if he knew there was no way out, he pounced towards Jiang Mian.
Two minutes later, Jiang Mian ignored the arrogant old wolf and dug open a bush, revealing a hollow sand cave underneath. Two wolf cubs were curled up inside, sleeping soundly.
The old wolf continued to growl, and Jiang Mian carefully took out the two little ones. Without raising his head, he told the truth: "You are going to die."
The old wolf's whimpers became smaller.
"If you die, they won't survive."
The old wolf stopped digging in the sand.
"Wolves are very vindictive and I hate it." Jiang Mian held the two little ones in his arms and looked at the old wolf calmly, "It is understandable that you attack humans in order to find food to raise your cubs, but you are about to die. I’m too lazy to do anything to you.”
"Don't worry. Although I hate wolves, I won't kill your cubs. They will survive."
The old wolf stared at her, and Jiang Mian stared back without hesitation. The old wolf shook his bony body, and something moist seemed to flash in his eyes.
It slowly walked up to Jiang Mian, licked the two wolf cubs again and again, and finally raised its head and roared feebly, turned around and ran quickly, quickly disappearing from Jiang Mian's eyes.
The two little guys woke up and screamed softly. Jiang Mian coaxed them for a while. The two little guys licked Jiang Mian's palm with the tip of their tongues and fell asleep again.
The actor's father's down jacket had very big pockets, and he put one in each pocket. Jiang Mian didn't waste any more time, turned around and quickly returned to the camp.
—
Qin Jingrun calmed down quickly. From the situation in the tent, he could tell that his precious daughter had gone out on her own. He felt a little relieved. For a moment, a thought that was so terrifying that it frightened him came into his mind.
Since he left the tent by himself, Qin Jingrun strode towards the bathroom after thinking about it.
The restroom is empty.
Jiang Mian's cell phone was in the tent and he couldn't make contact with it. He searched around the camp and found no trace of his precious daughter. Qin Jingrun felt cold sweat on his hands.
He remembered what the staff said during the day:
"Mianmian is so fast. As soon as Xiaoxue's voice sounded, she ran over."
He thought of Lian Feng's case. The drug dealer named Zhong Wuli was caught by his precious daughter for Lian Feng - the injury on his lower back was caused at that time.
He knew that his daughter had inherited Lian Feng's "chivalry" in her bones.
Looking at the vast and deep desert ahead, Qin Jingrun had a clear thought in his mind: Did the baby go to find the wolf
He knew that the man surnamed Lian had taught his precious daughter some basic moves, and he also knew that his precious daughter had some ability to protect herself after learning it, but he knew better.
My daughter has never been to the desert and she doesn’t have anything with her. If she gets lost in the desert or encounters other dangers, such as wolves...
"Dad." Just when Qin Jingrun was about to take action, the voice behind him made him relax.
Qin Jingrun turned around and realized that his back was covered with cold sweat, and the wind blew a chill that penetrated his bones.
"Baby, you..." As soon as he spoke, his voice was a little hoarse, and the hand hanging by his side was shaking slightly.
Jiang Mian ran over in a few steps. She didn't expect that she would quietly go out for half an hour. When she came back, she saw the actor's father, who was supposed to be sleeping, standing in the camp, and she suddenly felt a little guilty.
Seeing the actor's father's expression, Jiang Mian quickly admitted his mistake: "I'm sorry, Dad, for making you worry."
"I just couldn't sleep, so I went for a walk." She tried to make her words sound convincing.
That's all. Looking at his precious daughter's little face, Qin Jingrun didn't ask any more questions. As long as everything was fine, he would send her back tomorrow!
It's a pity that the two wolf cubs in his pocket destroyed Jiang Mian's stage. Qin Jingrun was not deaf: "What's the sound?"
Jiang Mian said dryly: "Dad, you heard wrong, it was the wind."
Qin Jingrun looked at her pocket, Jiang Mian said: "..."
Back in the tent, Jiang Mian took out two little ones and placed them on the quilt.
The father and daughter looked at each other. Facing the actor's father's "Give me an explanation" look, Jiang Mian poked his finger and explained in a sonorous voice: "Dad, I really found it accidentally. It was not far from the camp. The mother wolf who injured Sister Xiaoxue knew she didn't have much time left, so she took the two cubs out and gave them to me."
"Baby, do you think daddy is blind?"
In one sentence, Jiang Mian shut up.
Qin Jingrun pinched her cheek gently, and when she turned around, she scolded Han Xu: My dear daughter, lying without drafting, must have been taught by Han Xu, a nouveau riche.
There was a reason for him to think so. Han Xu had this record before.
The first time Xiao Jiang Mian deceived someone was after being led by Han Xu - the other three naturally thought it was Han Xu who taught him.
In fact, it was Xize who taught him, and Han Xu took the blame.
Jiang Mian was determined not to tell the real reason - if he told the actor's father that she sneaked into the desert in the middle of the night to get rid of the wolf, just because she didn't want the wolf to hurt him, the actor's father would definitely blame himself.
Jiang Mian decided to change the topic so that the actor's father wouldn't worry about how the wolf cubs came about: "Dad, what should we do with them?"
She has already rescued the little wolf cub in an unusual way. As for how to raise it, she still leaves it to the actor father.
"Leave it to me." Qin Jingrun said helplessly.
The next day, Qin Jingrun handed the cub to Lin Xi and contacted the local forestry bureau for processing.
Everyone was very surprised to learn that the male god had rescued two wolf cubs. When asked how he rescued them, the male god said seriously: "I picked them up next to the bathroom last night."
So everyone automatically figured out -
The wolf mother who attacked Xiaoxue during the day most likely didn't want to attack Xiaoxue. She probably wanted to take care of her, but her method was a little rough. In the end, she only dared to quietly pick up the wolf cub in the middle of the night when no one was around.
The logic of the story is very reasonable, even the victim Xiaoxue thinks it is.
This matter was revealed just like that.
Jiang Mian's flight is at seven o'clock in the evening. He needs to transfer to the airport on the way and has to leave at noon.
Qin Jingrun asked Lin Xi to send Jiang Mian to the airport to feel relieved, but Jiang Mian disagreed - the actor's father only brought Lin Xi as an assistant, and Lin Xi was indispensable during filming.
Qin Jingrun couldn't resist her, so okay, he wouldn't let Lin Xi go and asked a staff member from the crew. Before Jiang Mian could refuse, Lu Zhiyu suddenly asked him to send him off.
He didn't have anything to do in the afternoon, so he just had time.
His reason was good—it was just the right time for Jiang Mian to comment on his morning scene on the way.
Every staff member has his or her own work. It’s hard to find time to rest, so naturally they want to take a good rest.
But if Qin Jingrun spoke, no staff would refute. There is a difference between being active and passive. Qin Jingrun hesitated and agreed.
Jiang Mian had no choice but to get in the crew's car and Lu Zhiyu took her to the airport.
When leaving, Jiang Mian touched the two wolf cubs. No one from the Forestry Bureau had come yet.
The girls in the crew saw how cute the wolf cubs were and spontaneously took over the feeding work. They adapted well.
Shen Chuman gave Jiang Mian a book, and she came to the set to stay for a day and night. She didn't spend much time with Shen Chuman, but she could feel that Shen Chuman was really good to her.
"Aunt Shen, you are so beautiful and outstanding. People who like you will definitely queue up to go to France." Before leaving, Jiang Mian smiled and said a joke.
The unspoken intention was to ask her not to hang herself from a tree.
Shen Chuman has a good sense of proportion. He is not as clear-cut as other actors like the actor, and Jiang Mian can't speak clearly clearly.
After hearing this, Shen Chuman smiled and didn't say much. She just told Jiang Mian to pay attention to her safety. If anything happens in the future, she can contact her on WeChat.
Saying goodbye to the actor's father, the car quickly left the desert and entered a normal road. Lu Zhiyu's assistant was driving, and Jiang Mian and Lu Zhiyu were sitting in the back seat.
Lu Zhiyu glanced at Jiang Mian. She was still wearing a mask and had no intention of taking it off even when she was sitting in the car.
The two talked about something about the show. When Jiang Mian finished speaking, Lu Zhiyu didn't think deeply this time. He just nodded and then suggested: "Do you want to take off the mask for some air?"
Jiang Mian shook his head.
"Cold?"
Jiang Mian continued to shake his head.
The carriage became quiet. The two of them were not very familiar with each other, so the atmosphere was awkwardly silent.
After a while, Lu Zhiyu's eyes moved slightly to Jiang Mian who was looking out the window, and suddenly said: "Mianmian, what is your real name?"
Jiang Mian turned around and said in an embarrassed voice, "My real name is not nice."
Lu Zhiyu stopped asking.
After entering the city, Jiang Mian didn't let Lu Zhiyu see her off. She thought Lu Zhiyu wouldn't agree easily, but she didn't expect him to readily agree.
If I had known he was so easy to talk to, I would have gotten off the bus in town before.
"Goodbye Brother Lu."
Lu Zhiyu smiled: "I hope you will call me that next time we meet."
How could he be so sure that we would meet again in the future
Jiang Mian raised his eyebrows slightly, nodded kindly, waved to him, and hailed a taxi.
"Follow me." Lu Zhiyu said calmly.
The assistant who was about to turn around said: "Huh?"
Lu Zhiyu: "I promised Brother Qin that I would send the little girl to the airport."
The assistant became more and more puzzled: "Why don't we just send her there just now?"
Lu Zhiyu shook his head: "She has wanted to get off the car for a long time, she is just holding on."
The assistant still didn’t understand.
Lu Zhiyu stopped explaining.
