B-level director

From the gate of the bird park to the bus station, Cheng Tianlu looked gloomy and said nothing.Tong Yiru couldn't bear his appearance, and the two of them quarreled in a few words. Tong Yiru turned his back on it as soon as he said it, and couldn't get on the bus in a fit of anger.Cheng Tianlu thought to himself, what is this? The two of them seemed to be arguing with a couple, so they ignored her and went back to the city center by themselves.

After wandering around the city for more than two hours, the abandoned city has been surrounded by seals, and there are armed police standing guard to prevent citizens from entering.It's just that after the tower clock was wound up, it seemed to have a convulsion, and occasionally it would tell the time and sing, which startled the people around.

Back at the hotel entrance, Ling Lingjiu was leaning against the wall, basking in the sun contentedly.Cheng Tianlu couldn't help being very envious. Ling Lingjiu didn't care about any villages, nor did he take the screenwriter's disappearance as his own responsibility. He was unrestrained and unburdened.He sighed: "The weather is fine."

"The sky is fine, but you are not fine."

Cheng Tianlu was obsessed with Tong Yiru's analysis, and couldn't help confiding to Ling Lingjiu: "Brother Jiu, I want to ask you something. Based on what you know about Brother Qi, I...how does Brother Qi think of me?" ?”

Ling Lingjiu was stunned.After a while, laughter burst out: "How can I see you? Object. What's wrong with you two?"

"It's okay, pretend I didn't ask."

Ling Lingjiu approached him, and said in a gentle voice: "How can you pretend that you haven't asked. Let me tell you straight, when we first met, he liked you because he saw that you were fun. culture……"

"Stop Brother Jiu," Cheng Tianlu said no matter how thick-skinned he was, he couldn't stand up to this kind of flattery, "Stop talking."

"No, I have to finish. Brother Qi is in good condition, isn't he? He has both looks and talent, and his temper goes his own way. It's quite annoying, but some people like it, and there are many people who miss him. But he doesn't look at him seriously. , I used to think that Ya was not interested in human beings, but I didn’t expect him to find such a worldly master like you. He is used to being alone, and he definitely doesn’t feel safe with such a person. Please take care of him and trust him Here," Ling Lingjiu pointed to his heart, then patted Cheng Tianlu's chest, "I won't lie."

Brother Qi was a little late when he returned to the hotel, and seemed to be in a good mood.Cheng Tianlu was in trouble, and he didn't know whether to tell Tong Yiru's "maze" deduction to him.While cutting Geer Qi's nails, he said, "I went to the bird park today."

"Is there a bird park here?"

"A dilapidated garden, I saw it from the booklet you picked up."

"What are you doing there?"

"Dating Tong Yiru."

Brother Qi lightly kicked him in the stomach, "Have you had a good time?"

"Let's do it. When will you be able to paint well, and then leave me here alone, are you afraid that I will change my mind?"

Brother Qi looked at him viciously: "If you want to be nice to others, I will dig out your heart and soak it in formalin as an offering."

"Well, you can do it." Cheng Tianlu swept his nails into the trash can: "Didn't draw today?"

Brother Qi didn't answer.Cheng Tianlu said with a smile: "Usually there is some paint on the fingers, but today the nails are very clean." Brother Qi really didn't paint, and he didn't even go to Sang Nan's residence.If Cheng Tianlu hadn't been irritated by Tong Yiru and immersed in his own troubles, he wouldn't have passed Brother Qi.

For a long time, Brother Qi walked almost the same route as Cheng Tianlu to the Bird Park.When the taxi drove to the only populated street, he caught a glimpse of Cheng Tianlu and Tong Yiru walking side by side, chatting lively, so he asked the driver to drive into a dark alley.

When he was about to get off the bus, the driver said, "There is nothing to see in that park. How about I wait for you here? Save me going back with an empty car."

Brother Qi refused: "I'm going to go shopping for a long time, so don't wait."

"Hey, brother, there are not many birds in the park, the trees are dense, and it's overcast during the day..." Before he could finish speaking, Brother Qi had already walked away.The driver murmured: "Weird man, there are so many strange people coming here these days, the brain is sick!"

Brother Qi walked into the gate, looked left and right, but couldn't find the ticket seller.Stepping on the rotting leaves, he walked along the pitted red brick road and walked into the dense shade of trees.The weather was fine, and the sunlight leaking in from the sky net reflected spots of light. A few sparrows and crows were bouncing and chasing insects on the road, as if playing a game with the spots.

Brother Qi let out a sigh of relief, not knowing what to do for a moment.The first time he saw the brochure, he thought the problem might be the bird park.What made him finally make up his mind was the unintentionally shot video.This video was very ordinary, and the two photographers probably didn't take it seriously, but Cheng Tianlu could definitely tell that something was wrong.

He must fight fast.

As the strong wind blew, a big bird suddenly swooped down and landed in front of Brother Qi.Brother Qi took off his sunglasses, stepped back subconsciously, and met the eyes of the mighty and majestic big eagle.The eagle was not afraid of people, and with a red piece of meat in its mouth, it took a few steps towards Brother Qi.The food in its mouth doesn't look like snake meat or rat meat, and it doesn't have bird feathers. The meat of an unknown animal is fresh and bright red.

Brother Qi didn't have a weapon, so he squatted down slowly and picked up a big stone.The eagle seemed to have sensed his intentions, and suddenly spread its wings and flew away.

Brother Qi put the stones in his pocket and continued walking along the red brick road.Soon he was surrounded by birds singing one after another, surrounded by tall and low bushes, and he couldn't tell where he came from.The taxi driver is really talking nonsense. There are so many birds here, such as brightly colored ones, those with long crowns on their heads, and those with big beaks. Qi Geer can't recognize many of them.

After walking for a while, a large lake suddenly opened up in front of my eyes.Weeds are overgrown by the lake, and the water quality is not clear. Occasionally, small schools of fish can be seen swimming around the stones.He stopped suddenly and listened - someone had been following him. "Who is it?" He turned his head sharply.

Behind a tree, Tong Yiru turned out.As if she was found playing hide-and-seek, she smiled narrowly, "Director, what are you doing here?"

"Look at the birds. What about you?"

"I just came here with Tianlu, and I saw you coming in a taxi, so I followed you to see what you were doing secretly."

"You don't know Tianlu?"

"You mean he can't know?" Tong Yiru asked back: "Sure enough, there are tricks."

"Don't tell Tianlu."

"What's the benefit of helping you cover up?"

Brother Qi couldn't answer, and secretly felt ashamed that his professional ability in underground work was too poor, and he was targeted as soon as he emerged.Tong Yiru stood shoulder to shoulder with him and said with a smile: "I won't tell, but you have to take me to play. What are you doing here?"

"Have you ever heard of Pinocchio?"

Tong Yiru was puzzled: "The fairy tale that the nose grows longer?"

"Well, there is an old man in the story who was swallowed into the whale's stomach." Qi Ge'er said as he walked forward, "lived in the whale's body for a long time."

Tong Yiru followed up in two or three steps: "Don't play dumb with me. It has something to do with the missing screenwriter, right?"

There seemed to be no one else in the park, and the voices of the two were also swallowed up in the dense forest.There was an indescribable rancid smell all around, and Tong Yiru was a little scared, so he couldn't help getting close to Brother Qi.Suddenly opened up in front of the eyes, in a sunny small open space, dozens of birds were scrambling for food, flying, and singing. The board was dripping with blood.The ground was strewn with scraps of meat and offal, being scrambled and devoured by eagles, crows, peacocks, and several other omnivores.

The smell of blood mixed with the rotten smell that had accumulated for a long time, filled the clear and clean air in winter, Tong Yiru bent down and retched, Qi Ge'er felt the chill climb up the soles of his feet, and his hairs stood on end.He clenched the stone tightly and said, "Did anyone sell tickets when you came in?"

Tong Yiru was so disgusted that he couldn't speak, he shook his head with fear on his face.

"Let's go now!"

They walked like headless chickens in the dense forest for a while, getting lost as they walked.The red brick road leads in all directions, and there is no difference in every place.Tong Yiru said, "There's a house over there!"

Brother Qi also saw it, "Let's go see if anyone is there."

Tong Yiru shook his head desperately, "There is something wrong with this garden, let's quickly find the gate and leave quickly."

"It's impossible to say that the missing two are hiding here."

"Then we can't go there. Neither of the two big men can escape. Can the two of us escape?"

Brother Qi handed the stone into her hand, "Hold it for self-defense, don't be polite when you encounter bad people, just smash it down hard." After speaking, he walked towards the house.

Tong Yiru was terrified: "Director, don't go..."

Brother Qi waved his hand and told her to leave quickly.When Tong Yiru was hesitating, a person behind her said, "How did you get in?!"

Tong Yiru was so frightened that she lost her soul, and looked back with a pale face. She was an old woman with triangular eyes, a thin hunchback, and an indifferent expression.The old lady said again: "Didn't buy a ticket? I asked for a ticket here. Are you a group purchase?"

"It's not... I came to play by myself."

"Then hurry up and make up the fare, you people in the city are short of ten or eight yuan? You know you are greedy for cheap!"

The old lady walked forward while nagging.Tong Yiru breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that following her would definitely lead to the gate.After struggling several times, she decided to ignore Brother Qi and leave.

They turned and walked for a while, and the trees were even thicker, almost covering the sky and the sun.Tong Yiru's heart rose again, and he asked the old lady, "Aren't we going to the gate?"

"The gate is for normal ticket buyers. Did you come in normally?! You have to pay a fine for fare evasion, and you can only leave after paying the money."

Tong Yiru thought, isn't this blackmail?But he didn't dare to say anything, and silently followed her to a simple iron house with a bad smell.There are long rows of iron cages next to the house, and various birds are kept.Peacocks are walking with their heads held high in front of and behind the house, extremely gorgeous.It's just that the surrounding area has been neglected, and the smell of bird droppings and rotting seeds is overwhelming.Tong Yiru couldn't stay still for a moment, took out his wallet and said, "How much do you want? Give it to you now, take me out quickly!"

The old lady smiled: "I can't collect the money, you go into the room and hand it over to the administrator."
