From what Village Chief Yan said, combined with the illusion that happened that night, Han Bingbing pieced together a complete and tragic love story.

A hundred years ago, the transportation on this island was even more isolated than it is now. The Qing family was a wealthy family on the island, as evidenced by the three-room Zhang house that has been preserved to this day.

At that time, the island had been renamed Qingcuo for less than ten years, and Qingyu, the 19-year-old daughter of the Qing family, became the new leader of the Nine Carp Lantern Dance Troupe on Qingcuo Island.

The island also welcomed an unexpected guest.

Qi Zhihong, who couldn't swim, was rescued by Qingyu's father by chance during a voyage out to sea.

The rich girl who has lived on the island for many years has never seen a fair-skinned young man with a temperament completely different from the islanders. The profound knowledge revealed in his words and deeds makes the girl's heart move.

The heart of the aspiring young man who has been alone abroad for several years is black and white. He is grateful to the Qing family for saving his life, and is also illuminated by the bright and charming beauty of the Nine Carp Dance.

The wedding was arranged by the Qing family. Qi Zhihong only said that he was thousands of miles away from home and could not send a message to ask the two elders to come.

Not long after the marriage, Qingyu's father died suddenly, leaving behind his only daughter.

Qingyu, who lost her mother when she was young, was fortunate to have the company of her lover, which helped her get through the difficult pain of losing her father.

The good times only lasted two or three years. One day, Qi Zhihong decided to leave the island and look for like-minded partners to complete what he had failed to accomplish.

Qingyu tried to persuade him to stay many times but failed. After Qi Zhihong repeatedly assured her that he would return home after the task, she had to let him go.

After Qi Zhihong left, Qingyu discovered that she was pregnant. She sent a letter to the address he left, but received no response.

Qingyu, who was unable to bear the longing for her lover, was ultimately unable to keep the baby in her belly, and became even more depressed. She could only recite the handwritten books left by Qi Zhihong every day to comfort herself.

Just like that, one day twenty years later, a letter addressed to "Qing Yu Shou" arrived.

There were several familiar handwritings in the letter. Before Qingyu could feel surprised, she saw the bad news first.

The unfamiliar handwriting on another piece of paper told her that the owner of those words had dedicated his life to the great cause he pursued in his heart. It was not his intention to let her down. He hoped that Yu Niang would take care of herself.

Qingyu, who was already ill, was bedridden due to grief. She had completely lost hope, and her days of wakefulness were getting shorter and shorter.

Finally, in the second year after receiving the letter, Qingyu fell asleep in the ground.

Her wet nurse, Qiaogu, took care of her all her life and eventually became the keeper of the old house.

It was obvious that Village Chief Yan avoided talking about Qiaogu. Perhaps he also felt in his heart that it was a little strange that she could still live to this day.

I heard that some years ago, some young people who didn't know the limits had their eyes on old houses, but they eventually backed out for various reasons.

So much so that in modern times, the elders on the island naturally add the advice to their younger generations to avoid the Qing family's old house.

On the way back, the timid Manman couldn't help rubbing his arms, "Sister, so the house where we filmed the show seems like a haunted house..."

Han Bingbing chuckled, "No one would see us. Since the village chief was able to convince her to let us move in, we should still be able to communicate. Besides, there are so many of us, we are very popular, so there is no need to be afraid!"

Xiao Wu, a staff member of the program crew who had been following the two of them, escorted them in and quickly ran to find the head of the stage management to report the matter.

Han Bingbing returned to the room and went to rest without paying attention to Ou Chen's angry look.

Li Mengqi, who was lying down with her hair loose and looking at her phone, suddenly sat up and asked, "Bingbing, are you interested in making a movie?"

Han Bingbing opened her eyes, "Of course! Why?"

"There's a role in Director Wang's play that's looking for auditions. I think you're a good fit! I'll V-Tell you the details!"

Watching the two of them chatting on V chat right under her nose, Ou Chen felt sour and jealous that bubbles of jealousy were bubbling up in her heart.

"Sister Mengqi, I also want to act in a movie. Can I give it a try?"

Li Mengqi raised her eyelids and glanced at her, "What film and television works do you have?"

Ou Chen bit his lip, "I've been following the script a lot in variety shows..."

Li Mengqi suppressed the sneer on her lips and said seriously: "However, maybe you can really try for this role. It requires a solid foundation in traditional Chinese dance."

Ou Chen's eyes lit up, "Really?! I have this!"

Thinking of something, she looked at Han Bingbing, "Sister Bingbing, I think you also meet this condition, will you go for the audition?"

Han Bingbing didn't even glance at her. After reading Li Mengqi's request, she thanked her on V chat, forwarded it to Wang Yong with one click, closed her eyes, and said, "I'll go when the time is right."

Ou Chen curled his lips secretly and looked at Li Mengqi gratefully, "Sister Mengqi, thank you for telling me about this opportunity! If I can pass it, I will give you a limited edition bag!"

After saying this, he glanced provocatively at Han Bingbing who was sitting across the bed from him.

Li Mengqi pulled the corners of her lips, "That's not necessary. Everyone is equal in front of opportunities. But, let me tell you first, Director Wang has very high requirements. Don't mention my name during the audition."

She didn't want to not be recommended and get into trouble.

Ou Chen blinked slightly, "I understand~"

At four o'clock in the afternoon.

The "Guest Nine Carp Team", which had just completed the only and final cooperative rehearsal with the dragon dance team, was taking their final rest and touching up their makeup.

Hearing the deafening sound of firecrackers outside the yard, everyone became nervous instantly!

Han Bingbing stood up first, looked around, and said in a clear voice, "Sisters! The official test is here! Come on! We can do it!"

"No problem!" "Come on!" Everyone responded and stood up to follow.

The chaotic footsteps faded away, and the gray-shadowed mute woman appeared silently from behind in the shadow beside the gate, blending into the corridor column.

The "Guest Nine Carp Team" followed the village chief and several elderly people and slowly walked to the village temple. Amid another string of lively firecrackers, they brought out the "Nine Carp Lanterns" and followed the double dragon balls around the island.

After the live broadcast followed the sisters in real time as they moved from the ancient house to the village temple, they switched to a drone to follow.

At this time, there were only a few barrages, indicating a sharp drop in the number of effective viewers.

Director Guo in the director's room had a big frown on his face, and he was using his cell phone and intercom to send voice commands one after another to the PD.

"Let the vertical cameramen get stronger!"

"Find the flashpoint! Magnify the contradiction!"

"It's such a long journey, aren't there any of these women who can't handle it?!"

The assistant came over hurriedly with another monitoring tablet, "Director Guo! Something's happening!"

Halfway around the island, Han Bingbing, holding the Jiao Lantern, squinted at the dragon dance team that was branching off from a nearby path, and shouted loudly: "The hidden dragon is ahead! Nine carps spread their fins!"

Everyone, whose arms were already sore, immediately pulled themselves together and reluctantly prepared for the dance steps of "Fish and Dragon Playing".

Originally, taking the guests' physical strength into consideration, the program team arranged a secluded resting place for them to rest for a few minutes halfway through the island tour.

The dragon dance team should appear after they have rested and perform the drama of fish and dragon together.

And now, before they even reached the resting place, the dragon dance team appeared in advance!

The “Nine Carp Team” had to change their original plan, give up their rest and follow the dragon dance team to the village temple!
