Chapter 22
In the kitchen, Xu Jue dripped a few drops of wax oil on the stove top covered with white tiles, and put the candle on it before it solidified.
The kitchen is a very old earthen house. Fortunately, a new gas stove has been added recently. At least no firewood is needed to boil water.
Qi Yanjing used an old-fashioned stainless steel jug to catch water and turn on the fire in one go, looking quite skilled.
Xu Jue found a wooden stool and sat down next to the stove, looked at Qi Yanjing's back, and looked up at the roof after a while.
The old houses are all tile-roofed, with high floors, and a small compartment seems to be built with wooden boards on the top, but the light is too dark to see clearly.
Qi Yanjing turned around, and what she saw was Xu Jue sitting on the small bench with her chin upturned and her head in a daze.
His small bench is very low, sitting on it is as high as the hearth, and the two flickering candles beside him make his hair extraordinarily soft and black.
Qi Yanjing walked over, "Xu Jue?"
He snapped his fingers in front of Xu Jue: "What are you looking at?"
Xu Jue's eyes moved from the roof to Qi Yanjing's face, and he stood one by one, still looking up: "I just feel that the roof is dark, and I don't know what is there."
Qi Yanjing also looked up, and said casually: "Some farmers like to use the roof to pile up sundries."
"Is that so..." Xu Jue blinked and stopped exploring, turned to look at Qi Yanjing and pursed his lips and smiled: "By the way, after you—ah!"
The voice was interrupted by an exclamation.
The roof suddenly rang twice, and a black shadow leaped out, almost landing on Xu Jue's back, and brought down a pile of firewood. Xu Jue could feel the gust of wind in an instant.
The hut was very quiet at night, and the sudden noise made him jump forward, and Qi Yanjing grabbed his back.
In a panic, Xu Jue saw clearly that it was a black cat.
Jumped off the roof, and leisurely slipped out through the gap in the door.
Xu Jue couldn't believe it: "Then why are there cats on it?!"
"It's normal," Qi Yanjing seemed to be surprised, and patted Xu Jue's back with his hand, "They all like to go to the house in the middle of the night to catch mice. Didn't you hear the chirping of mice just now?"
Xu Jue: "...?"
He looked up at the dark roof again, it was very quiet here all the time, he really didn't hear a single sound.
Seeing Xu Jue's dazed look with wide open eyes, Qi Yanjing couldn't help turning her head and trying to press the corners of her mouth.
Children who have never been in the mountains are really funny, they believe everything and think hard.
He flicked Xu Jue's forehead lightly, "Okay, don't read, what did you want to say just now?"
Only then did Xu Jue come back to his senses, and scratched the tip of his nose: "I just want to say, don't call me Xu Jue in the future, it's more important to call me by my name."
Qi Yanjing thought for a while, and seemed to think it made sense: "Then what should I call you?"
"Just call me Xiao Xu, be nice."
Qi Yanjing suddenly stopped talking, her brows raised slightly, as if she heard something unexpected.
After a while, he nodded and said calmly, "Yes, Xiaojue."
Xu Jue immediately bent his eyes and smiled at him, but somehow felt that he was a little helpless in agreeing.
·
In the next two days, there was an autumn rain in the mountains, the temperature dropped a lot, and the circuit was still up and down.
When luck is good, Xu Jue can enjoy a plug-in hot water bottle at night. If luck is not good, he has to go to the stove to boil water after work is over.
Fortunately, Qi Yanjing is willing to accompany him every time.
The last scene was filmed in a cave, and it was a group play in which all the main creators appeared.
The villain played by Xu Jue kidnapped the heroine and fed poison to the heroine.After going through hardships, the hero finally finds the tied heroine in the cave, and the villain who is waiting for him leisurely with a smile on his face.
Xu Jue wore a water-blue robe and sat gracefully against the stone wall.
The environment in the cave was chaotic, only his face was clean and his fingertips were white. Under the halo of the flickering torch, even his robe exuded the unique soft light of expensive satin.
"What exactly do you want?" The male protagonist played by Lin Songfeng was in tattered clothes, and the moment he saw the female protagonist, his eyes almost burst open.
Xu Jue smiled leisurely and walked slowly towards him.
"Are you familiar?" Xu Jue asked, "Didn't you do the same when you killed me, Aunt?"
Although he smiled, his gaze was as cold as ice.
Lin Songfeng was forced to retreat unconsciously. Even after the filming of the scene, every time he fights with Xu Jue, he still tends to get frustrated.
Xu Jue noticed his slight retreat, and stopped moving forward, raised his chin slightly to guide him: "Have you nothing to say?"
Lin Songfeng immediately understood that Xu Jue was giving him space. He stabilized his mind and stepped forward to make up for the distance between the two, so that the aura checks and balances each other: "How do the two compare?"
"Oh?" Xu Jue chuckled, "Then tell me why?"
Lin Songfeng glanced at the heroine, his eyes were bloodshot, and he paused every word: "I killed him because you have done all the evil things, and the destiny forbids you. What about you? You are just doing it for your own personal revenge."
"Sounding grand," Xu Jue pressed him again, "What's the difference between all killings?!"
"It's crazy to put destiny in vain, and it's bad to treat the common people like nothing. You are crazy and despicable and tell me how to be the same!"
Driven by Xu Jue, Lin Songfeng pressed hard every step of the way, throwing the ground loudly, and his fingertips couldn't stop trembling after blurting out a series of lines.
"cut——!"
"It's great!" The director stood up excitedly: "Xiao Xu did a good job, Song Feng finally entered the state, this scene is well done!"
Lin Songfeng suddenly came back to his senses amidst the applause, Xu Jue smiled at him in the candlelight of the cave, and was helped away by Zhang Chang.
Lin Songfeng was still standing where he was, with an extremely unspeakable joy in his heart.
He finally caught Xu Jue's play, and Xu Jue took him into a fantasy world where no one seemed to be there. Only then did he realize that there really is a magnificent world.
Peng Song and the surrounding staff clapped vigorously together, feeling blood surging just looking at it.
Qin Mian, who played the male number three, leaned into his ear and whispered: "Brother Song, there will be a scene between you and Xu Jue in the afternoon. He is not as good as you in the play, and you can overwhelm him with a little stumbling."
After hearing this, Peng Song lowered his clapping hands, his eyes complicated: "Don't say these words in the future."
"?"
He has always complained about Xu Jue with Peng Song. After Peng Song and Xu Jue played against each other a few days ago, they stopped talking behind their backs. Qin Mian thought he was angry with Xu Jue and wanted to help him vent his anger. Cheng Xiang and Peng Song ignored him and turned around to leave.
Qin Mian moved closer to Lin Songfeng again, but Lin Songfeng only stared at Xu Jue's back, his expression agitated.
Qin Mian didn't understand.
·
After filming the entire morning scene, Xu Jue sat on the big rock next to the mountain wall, feeling a little out of breath.Zhang Chang brought him lunch, and was called by other staff to help.
In the past two days, the mountain has become more and more cold and humid. Xu Jue secretly took twice as much painkiller without telling Zhang Chang, but the pain disappeared, but the other side effects seemed to be a bit strong.
He obviously didn't eat much all day, but he didn't feel hungry at all. Xu Jue opened the lunch box, looked at the exquisite food inside, and didn't have any desire to eat.
He began to eat slowly, little by little, mechanically, until he suddenly couldn't taste the taste in one bite.
Xu Jue's heart skipped a beat, he was stunned for two seconds, and quickly put two more chopsticks into his mouth.
everything is normal.
The slightly spicy taste of fried lotus root is still stimulating the tongue coating.
Maybe it's the illusion of being in a daze for a long time?
Xu Jue forced himself to relax a bit. His intense heartbeat hadn't calmed down under the tension, which made him a little nauseous.
"Ms. Xu," Peng Song came over with a small bottle, "Didn't disturb your meal?"
Xu Jue had completely lost his appetite at first, so he put the lid of the lunch box aside and smiled at Peng Song: "No, brother Peng, what can you do?"
"Ah... there's something wrong with me," Peng Song scratched the back of his head, looking a little embarrassed: "I still want to apologize to you."
"That day when I was playing against you, I deliberately used a lot of strength. I didn't consider the overall effect and just wanted to hit you. I was wrong."
Xu Jue didn't expect him to say this: "Don't, our scene turned out really well in the end—"
"Teacher Xu!" Peng Song stretched out five fingers to interrupt, "Let me finish first."
Xu Jue couldn't laugh or cry: "Okay, tell me."
"No matter what the effect is, it's not right for me to purposely try to punish you. In the end, the good effect is also brought out by your strength."
"You still have injuries, I..." He clenched the small bottle in his hand and handed it to Xu Jue, "Although I don't know what your injuries are, but this medicated oil is very effective for bruises, Mr. Xu, you must To accept."
This kind of medicine was useless to Xu Jue's injury, but Peng Song didn't play with him much, so he could only think that he had a common bruise, so it was a good effort to find out this kind of medicine.
In fact, even if Peng Song withdrew his strength at that time, Xu Jue would discuss with him to strengthen it. In his opinion, nothing is more important than the final effect of a scene.
He will never let other actors pull him because of his injury, and he is absolutely unwilling to let his play have any criticism.
Xu Jue took it over with a smile and said, "Okay, I'll take the medicine. But brother Peng, don't call me Mr. Xu anymore. You debuted early, just call me Xiao Xu."
"No, no, how can I do that?" Peng Song quickly waved his hands: "You are better than me, so you should be called Teacher Xu."
"Xiao Xu will do."
"Teacher Xu, Teacher Xu."
——"What little one?"
Suddenly a familiar male voice came from behind, Peng Song turned his head, saw the person coming and immediately shouted loudly: "Teacher Qi!"
Qi Yanjing nodded in response, but looked at Xu Jue without saying a word, his eyes shuddering inexplicably.
It wasn't until Xu Jue started to feel a little uncomfortable that he gently raised his hand, "If you have time, come and talk about the script."
He raised his tone slightly: "Are you okay? Xiaojue."
Xu Jue's back suddenly felt cold.
