Variety Film and Television Journey Home

"When it comes to selecting people, you must keep your eyes open." Chen Fei's tone sounded very interesting. Ling Jiushi asked with interest: "Why? Do you have any suggestions?"

"Check the situation." Chen Fei seemed to recall something and said through gritted teeth, "That so-called innocent female college student might actually be a big, foot-picking guy!"

"Is it that serious?" Ling Jiushi asked, trying not to laugh.

Chen Fei said sadly: "Niao Niao thought so at first, but she didn't believe it until she met him. In the end, I had to bring that person through the door. Now when I think about it, I still want to kill that person!"

Ling Jiushi patted Chen Fei sympathetically and found the scene funny.

While eating, when Niao Niao heard that Ling Jiushi was going to come over alone, she put down her chopsticks and looked at Ruan Lanzhu with a frown.

"What are you crazy about?" Niao Niao put her hands on her hips and said angrily, "What if he really gets into an accident?"

"Niao Niao, I can do it." Ling Jiushi raised the wine glass in his hand and said optimistically: "Celebrate my early clearance."

"I disagree!"

Ruan Lanzhu, who was sitting in the main seat, said nothing. Niao Niao stopped arguing with him and stood up to go in with Ling Jiushi.

"Stop her." Ruan Lanzhu smashed the chopsticks in his hand onto the table and said angrily, "Why, you still want to sleep for another ten days or half a month!"

"Niao Niao, Brother Ruan is also worried about you." Seeing that the situation was not right, Cheng Qianli hurriedly pulled them apart to try to stop the fight.

"That's what I want to do." Niao Niao was also very angry and said without hesitation: "I came here just for Ling Jiushi. I must go to every door of his!"

"It will take a long time for her to grow up. You and I cannot guarantee that every door can protect her."

Niao Niao knew in her heart that Ruan Lanzhu was right. In the past, she was alone and had no worries, so it was easy for her to get married.

What is most worrying is that no one knows how many independent spaces like the world in the mirror there are inside the door.

"Ruan Lanzhu, I must go through every door that Ling Jiushi opens." Niao Niao's attitude was firm. Maybe he was right, but Niao Niao was not going to listen.

Chen Fei's eyes flickered under his glasses. He took out the bracelet and put it on Niao Niao, smiling and saying, "Come back safely."

Why is there something strange in his eyes? Niao Niao was stunned and let him hold her hand, forgetting to react.

"Why, if you don't go now, you'll miss it." Chen Fei caressed Niao Niao's head lovingly, and after she turned around, he looked at Ruan Lanzhu and said calmly but paranoidly: "What do you think she meant by that?"

Ruan Lanzhu rubbed his wrist worriedly and didn't listen to what Chen Fei was saying at all.

After entering, I finally understood why Ruan Lanzhu was so calm. Niao Niao walked over and squeezed between the three people in front, snatched the lollipop from Wu Qi's hand, and said with a sigh: "It's over, it seems that I have to take three people this time."

"Niao Niao? Are you playing this game too?" Wu Qi said excitedly, "Don't worry, I'm pretty good at playing games. I'll protect you this time!"

Faced with Wu Qi's shameless words, Ling Jiushi wanted to cover his mouth. But Niao Niao said gratefully: "Then thank you, Brother Wu Qi."

"Why thank him! I can protect you too." Li Dongyuan pulled Wu Qi away angrily and said protectively, "Wu Qi, right? Stay away from Niao Niao. Don't worry, I'll protect you this time."

"loquacious!"

Li Dongyuan, who was kicked, was not angry at all. He happily came over and said, "I'm so glad you're okay! You don't know that the petty Ruan Lanzhu even replaced the obsidian door!"

Ling Jiushi corrected him, "It wasn't Ruan Lanzhu who changed the door."

If not him, then who could it be? Li Dongyuan wanted to ask again, but a woman dressed in ancient style came out of the door.

"I am Yu Fu. The River God Festival you are attending will begin in seven days. Please note that the sacrifices will begin today."

The man next to him took out a key and said with a smile: "My name is Yan Shihe, and this is my seventh time here. It's best for everyone to share a room with two or three people."

He glanced at Niao Niao and the other three intentionally or unintentionally. The boss of Obsidian is said to be a shrewd man, but those three men don't look like one.

There seemed to be some kind of ceremony being held on the street. In the firelight, every citizen held a rattle in their hands and shouted in unison: "The sky is in a panic, the earth is in a panic, there is a crying boy in my family. If a benefactor passes by and recites it three times, he will sleep until dawn."

The high priest on the stage raised his hand and threw the red bag into the river. Ling Jiushi frowned and said, "Tell me, what's in that?"

"I'll go ask for you guys." Li Dongyuan touched his head with his hand and said arrogantly, "I'll protect you guys on this door."

When Ling Jiushi heard Li Dongyuan say that he wanted to use the child for sacrifice, he decided to fish the child out of the river.

But when the red cloth was opened, it turned out that the piglets were not children. Ling Jiushi said with relief, "One a day, cumulatively, seven days! Fortunately, they are not sacrificing human beings."

"What do we do now?"

"It's so late now, of course we should go back to sleep."

There was only one triple bed in the room. Li Dongyuan touched his head and said, "How can we sleep here? Otherwise, Niao Niao and I can go to the next room?"

His tone was full of regret, but his eyes were filled with uncontrollable joy. Niao Niao pulled out a rattan chair out of thin air and lay down on it comfortably.

His plan failed, so Li Dongyuan randomly chose a seat and urged, "Ling Jiushi, why are you still standing? Come and sleep."

Wu Qi was lying in the innermost part. He was so sleepy that he put on a hat and lay down. Not long after, his breathing became even.

The oil lamp on the table emitted a dim light. The sound of someone walking outside the house was heard. Niao Niao and Ling Jiushi looked at each other and quietly hid outside the window to watch.

Yu Fu was followed by a few little pigs, who seemed to be looking for something.

Walking to the house opposite, Yu Fu opened the window, observed for a moment and then moved to another room.

They checked three rooms in a row, and nothing unexpected happened. Until the room next to theirs, Yu Fu finished checking it and took the piglet in.

The screams outside were deafening, but Wu Qi and Li Dongyuan on the bed seemed to hear nothing and slept soundly.

Coming out from the next door, the next room was their room. Niao Niao and Ling Jiushi covered each other's mouths, huddled together and shivered.

"Do you still remember that ballad?" After everyone left, Niao Niao whispered, "The sky is in a state of panic, the earth is in a state of panic, there is a crying boy in my family. If a benefactor recites it three times, he will sleep until dawn."

"..."

The two of them cuddled together, mumbling the ballad. They didn't let go of each other until they were sure that Yu Fu had taken her people away.

The sunlight pierced into the house. Niao Niao pulled the quilt over her head uncomfortably and said irritably, "Why is it so early in the morning?"

"Niao Niao, do you want an eye mask?" Wu Qi took out a few eye masks from his bag, with a proud look on his face.

Ling Jiushi rubbed his swollen head, told the story of last night, and said enviously: "You two have such a good sleep quality."

"With my vigilance, this shouldn't happen!" Li Dongyuan was a little unbelievable. He was always half asleep and half awake when he got married. Why was he sleeping so soundly this time?

"There's no point worrying about this. Let's go have breakfast first." Niao Niao put away the rattan chair and her eyes fell on the still burning oil lamp.

At breakfast, some people were late. Someone died on the first night, and the already panicked crowd became even more panicked.

Li Dongyuan and Ling Jiushi had just sat down when they were about to stand up to look for clues. Niao Niao pulled them back, and Wu Qi quickly said, "No matter what, you have to eat first. Aren't you hungry?"

After dinner, several people went to the backyard.

It looked like a place where lamp oil was boiled. There was a baby carriage in the yard, but the quilt inside was empty.
