Chapter 6 Direction
At the beginning, the weather forecast programs said that the rainstorm would only last for one day, but it turned out that it lasted for seven days in a row, and the summer in Dongzhou was cleared again.

In the early morning, Furong Village began to be lively. The people who had been depressed due to the heavy rain in the past week were revived, and the streets and alleys in the village were still wet with people and cars.

Lei Yue was staggering along the village road, dragging his two broken legs that felt like they were rotting away.

He felt that his eyeballs were about to fall out of their sockets, his mouth was crooked, there were large ulcers of flesh and blood on his neck, and his hands were twisted due to broken nerves, like a walking corpse.

Cotard's syndrome, "the disease of the living dead", without taking medicine for a week, he has entered what doctors call a sick state, and his condition is getting worse every day.

But what does it matter?It's nothing more than rotting and moldy all over.

On the second day after his grandmother's death, Lei Yue sent her grandmother's body to the funeral parlor for cremation, and then placed her ashes in the Qinglingshan Cemetery on the outskirts of the city, where his parents' coffins were also placed.

On the seventh day of grandma's first seven days, Lei Yue set up candles, wine and food at home for a vigil. He really hoped that grandma would show up so that he could talk to her, but he didn't.

In the past week, Lei Yue has hardly chatted with anyone. He sleeps, gets up, goes out, attends to grandma's funeral, returns home, and sleeps every day, as if the whole world is like this.

It seemed that his life was hopeless, not to mention breaking through his destiny, he was just a worthless and unsightly piece of garbage.

However, in his arms, there is a heavy secret hidden.

For this week, no matter where Lei Yue went, he secretly carried that huge caliber but not heavy pistol.

In order to hide the outline of the pistol, he had to wear more clothes than others in this summer, and he appeared to have big chest muscles.

For this gun, on the one hand, he is more familiar with it, because he practiced drawing and raising the gun every day. At first, his arms were sore and weak, but now he has become more and more stable, and his movements have become more and more proficient.

On the other hand, he didn't find anything new in his research on guns. He had many questions, but he didn't have any answers.

I want to ask that friend, but after that night, the crow never appeared again.

"Where did it go?" Lei Yue walked, looking up at the sky from time to time, looking for the black bird, "My friend, you have already been caught, right? Don't tell me..."

He heard from the villagers that the garbage dump was blocked, but the bizarre murder case was not exposed, and the villagers were told that the reason for the blockade was environmental rectification.

This matter is really not simple, the police are hiding something.

But the police still didn't come to the door. I should not have been photographed by surveillance that night, and I was still in secret for the time being.

"If the police uncle catches me and throws me in jail, then I can only play crazy and let them send me to a mental hospital. I am familiar with it."

Lei Yue made this idea again with self-deprecating, to offset the little uneasiness in his heart.

At the same time, he was passing a large banyan tree that was hundreds of years old. A small white car was coming in front of him. The road was very narrow and the speed of the car was very fast. He avoided it and watched the car pass by.

"Who is driving so fast on the village road?" He couldn't help muttering.

When I was a child, there were not so many cars on the road, but now along the way, no matter where in the village, the roadside has become a parking space, and the vehicles are so crowded that no one will let anyone else go.

Under the impact of the torrent of urbanization, the customs and customs of the village in the past are not much left, both good and bad.

When Lei Yue continued to walk and came to the Furong Market at the junction of the village and the urban area, the hustle and bustle of this area hit his face even more.

There are some small supermarkets, shops and restaurants in Furong Market, which provide life services for the village and many nearby high-rise residential areas.

Entertainment venues such as Internet cafes, game halls, and KTVs have also attracted many street people to patronize. I heard that an underground bar has recently opened here, which is very popular.

In the market, people in all kinds of clothes are always rushing in crowds and hurrying.

"Sugarcane water, homemade fresh sugarcane water!" shouted a hawker next to a stall cart, and the uncle who sold roasted sweet potatoes over there also shouted: "Roasted sweet potatoes for three yuan each!"

"Cold salad", "fried rice noodles" and "chuanchuanxiang" are lined up with small stalls with such bright red and yellow signs.

Some are just a trolley, and some are covered with canopies. Vendors sell all kinds of breakfast, food and gadgets.

As Lei Yue walked among them, he was almost hit or pushed away several times.

There are more people here than usual... He was a little alert. Although the market was always crowded with people, it was much more lively and crowded now.

Unsurprisingly, there are unfamiliar faces everywhere, but...

A group of healthy men and women walked by in the distance. Those people walked very tall and straight, and there was a seriousness in their gait and demeanor.

"It's the police." Lei Yue frowned, that was exactly how the police gave him when he dealt with the police before.

He walked on in silence, pretending nothing happened.

But I immediately noticed that on the other side, there was a group of men and women in suits and leather shoes. They walked and took pictures of the market with their mobile phones, as if some business people were doing research and research, so they seemed out of place with the surroundings.

He wanted to change direction, but just as he turned around, he was almost hit by a group of people walking towards him.

The hairstyles and colors of these people, as well as the more or less tattoos on their skin, are as colorful as street graffiti, and you can tell they are bastards at a glance.

"Ouch?" "Damn." They looked at his ugly face a few more times, as if they were amazed, but they didn't stop and just passed by.

Lei Yue let out a breath quietly, but he couldn't let go of his tense heartstrings. He felt that he was being ambushed from all sides, and some group of people would rush up to restrain him at any moment...

Are these people just ordinary passers-by, or all kinds of people who came here for the murder of the shotgun man?
He couldn't be sure, but one situation was predictable:
"With this rotten face on my face, the rate of turning my head back cannot be low. If I walk around the village a few times, I will definitely be constantly noticed.

"Even if I'm not the subject of police suspicion for the time being, it might be different after all."

Lei Yue looked up at the sky again, and the oily smoke from the market filled the air, making the sky mixed with mist after the rain, but the shadow of the crow was still not visible.

"Is it leaving here to take me out of the village to avoid the limelight? Where? Is there any place in that direction..."

Lei Yue was thinking hard while walking, and suddenly noticed the sound of fried rice noodles, and the smell of breakfast wafted in the air.

Before he had breakfast, he walked to this mobile stall with an old sign in yellow on a red background, "Fatty Hor Fun", and sat down on a red plastic stool next to an empty table.

He looked at a short, fat middle-aged man who was sweating from the kitchen stove, "Boss, let me have a bowl of rice noodles.

Hearing the sound, the fat man turned his head, because the old villager was already familiar with it, so he wasn't too surprised by that rotten face. The fat man replied "Okay" and continued to work.

Some of the other diners cast their eyes furtively, but Lei Yue pretended not to notice, staring blankly at the bustling crowd for a while, then picked up his phone to look again.

There is not a single missed call, and there is no unread message in the private chat in the communication APP...

Gradually, he clicked on the "Village Group of Furong Village" with more than 40 new messages to see if there was any new news in the village.

He was not the only one who noticed that there were a lot of idlers in the village. Someone was asking and posted a few photos taken at the head of the village. It was a group of burly men in black walking around, looking like gangsters. of.

"Who are these people, why are they wandering around our village?"

"It's pretty scary [laughing and crying]"

"@Furong村村委, find someone to deal with these graffiti, it's not good for children to see it."

“Could [anger] be sprayed by those men in black?”

Someone posted another photo, showing some indecent graffiti sprayed on the stone guard pole on the bank of the river in the village.

Lei Yue watched silently, and probably knew what was going on. Furong Village had become the center of a whirlpool...

After reading the information, he turned off the villager group, and his finger hung in the air on the phone screen for a while before he tapped hard, opening the circle of friends for the first time in many days.

With an empty heart, Lei Yue saw as expected that the students were all posting the admission notices they received, with a paragraph or two of emotional speeches.

He scrolled down the circle of friends, and suddenly, a message that he didn't want to see the most, but perhaps also the most wanted to see, was right in front of him.

It was Yang Yinuo's latest message. She was admitted to Dongzhou University: "Grateful for the past, looking forward to the future, Hello Dongzhou University!" The accompanying pictures are a few landscape photos of Dongzhou No. [-] Middle School and Dongzhou University.

"Northeastern University." Lei Yue twitched the corners of his mouth slightly, wishing her to be admitted to a prestigious school as she wished, but also feeling a little inexplicably youthful, that the Performing Arts Academy of Dongda University was his first choice.

Youth, love, nothing to do with you... No one wants to see your face...

He looked at this circle of friends for a while, but in the end he still didn't like or leave a comment.

The same is true of his information to other students. On the other side of the students, "Bad Face Lei Yue" has become a missing person recently, so it may be more comfortable for them.

As for him, he didn't want to appear in front of them for the time being, and he didn't want to appear in the current image of a dog in the water.

"Pho." At this time, the fat man brought a bowl of hot Pho and put it on the table in front of him.

"Oh." Lei Yue took a pair of disposable chopsticks and broke them apart, took a sip of the soup base first, and then ate the vermicelli. His stomach felt warm and he became more energetic.

Looking forward to the future?Grandma is already busy with her funeral affairs, and the previous part-time jobs have no time to take care of them this week, and they have already quit.

As for which university's admission notice, there is still no one.

Now he has no job, no place to study, and only less than 2000 yuan left in his net worth. The secret of the gun is unclear, and he will be taken away by the police at any time.

Teacher Wang, the head teacher, called him a few days ago and advised him, "You have a long life, don't delay yourself, you have to re-enter the university." He can go back to school if he repeats his studies.

However, he is not very interested in this path, and it will cost money to repeat it for a year, 2000 yuan can't even cover the repetition fee...

"Road, my way..." Lei Yue was eating rice noodles, thinking, and continued to swipe to look at Moments. Suddenly, a message made him stop:
[Sister Hua: The film and television city is recruiting group actors, with different crews, you can do whatever you want, starting from 50 yuan a day, including food, if you want to find me]

His heart skipped a beat. Sister Hua was a foreman he knew when he was doing doll work in the China World Trade Park. At that time, he heard that Sister Hua also had business in the film and television city.

The scale of Dongzhou Film and Television City is very large. It is said that there will be hundreds of crews filming there for a long time.

However, so far, he has been to the film and television city to play, but he has never been to a trick.

I did a few odd jobs before but didn't find this kind of work. One is the lack of contacts, and the other is that the film and television city is far away from Dongzhou People's Hospital, which is not suitable for the situation at that time.

Now... playing tricks?As Lei Yue thought about it, he couldn't help but look to the south. There was a bustling flow of people in front of him, and Dongzhou Film and Television City was in that direction.

Suddenly, as if his whole body was struck by a bolt of lightning, he stood up suddenly, his eyes widened.

The direction, that is the direction the crow flew that night!
"That friend, he flew to the film and television city!" Lei Yue woke up with a start, his heart beating loudly, "It is leading the way, is my way to the film and television city..."

Think about it, isn't it right?
It doesn’t matter if you repeat your studies and exams, your dreams as an actor, or your meals, why don’t you need to spend money on it?
In fact, I have to find some work to do, otherwise I will have no money to eat, and the living dead also have to eat, and my stomach is still not rotten.

If you go to play tricks, you can act, make money, and take care of food.

Moreover, there are unknown people everywhere in the village. If you go to the film and television city by yourself, you can avoid it...

Thinking about it this way, the crow did not take the wrong direction, maybe the secret of the gun can only be solved there.

Lei Yue thought about this, and felt that his heart was about to jump out of his ulcer chest, and he wished he could leave for the film and television city now.

It's just... Even if it's a trick, it may be difficult for me to get a chance, because if that bad face appears in the camera, the scene will not pass the review in minutes...

"No, no, this is the way led by the crow! It is professional to lead the way, please ask Sister Hua first."

Lei Yue cheered up, took a deep breath, pressed the phone screen with trembling fingers, and sent a private chat message to Sister Hua:
[Hi Sister Hua, I'm Lei Yue, I've been with you in China World Trade Park before, and I just saw the information about your recruitment of extra performers in the film and television city, can I do it? 】

Sent, sent successfully.

He sat down again, put down his phone, picked up his chopsticks absently and continued to eat the remaining pho in the bowl, looked at the crowds around him, and looked at his phone from time to time, waiting for Sister Hua's reply.
