"I asked, and I found out that the locals always carry knives when they go out."

"Okay," she gave up the idea. If there is no internet, there is no internet cafe. She has been filming every day these days and has not gone out.

"Then it's okay for me to go around the village later, right?"

Xiao Lin nodded and said, "That's fine. Sister Rui, I'll go with you. I haven't been there either."

"Okay, let's go," Su Rui said as she stood up and walked outside. As soon as she went out, she ran into Xiaowen.

"Sister Rui, you want to go out?"

"Well, let's take a walk around the village."

"Well, I'm free too. I'll take you there. I've been around everywhere."

"Okay, let's go."

The three of them walked outside. After about a few minutes, they could see the houses where people lived, all of which were made of mud.

"Xiao Wen, do you know how many families live here?"

"I heard from the village chief that there are about a hundred households, and almost all the young people who can go out have gone out, leaving only the elderly and children. Some people did not go out because they could not leave their elderly behind. I heard from the elderly that they have not seen their children for a long time."

"Why? Why don't they come back to visit?" Xiaolin's eyes were full of questions.

"It's not that they don't want to come back, it's just too expensive to make a trip back. And even if they pay, no one would be willing to come this way. If they pay too much, they won't be willing to do it. If they pay too little, no one would be willing to come. Besides, how to get out after returning is also a problem," Su Rui shook her head helplessly.

"Yes, that's what Sister Rui said," Xiao Wen nodded helplessly, "The last time we bought things, the crew kept some and gave some to the villagers. It was all paid for by the director himself. The investors of this drama didn't invest much money. Maybe they are not optimistic about it, so the director insisted on finding such a corner. At least the venue is free and we can save some money."

The three of them were walking and chatting, and there were a few children playing not far away.

After walking for a long time, Su Rui finally saw people. She walked towards them and greeted them softly, "Hello."

Several children raised their heads at the same time and said, "Hello," and then looked at Xiaowen, "Brother Xiaowen."

"Well, what are you playing?" Xiaowen looked down.

One of the children said, "We are watching the ant running fast."

Su Rui observed carefully that their clothes were not very dirty. There were only dirt and marks of life on them. The clothes were a little short, and their faces were not dirty, but they were a little tanned, or sunburned.

Look at the ants. When she was a child, no one played with her, so she also liked to play with ants.

Su Rui squatted on the ground and asked curiously, "Which ant runs faster?"

Several children immediately squatted down enthusiastically and explained to her, pointing to an ant in the front and saying, "This is Xiaopeng, he runs the fastest."

"Sister, look at me. I am the second one, and his name is Qiangzi."

"My name is Xiaohua."

"Sister, I ran the fastest at the beginning and my name is Aka."

Su Rui always had a smile on her face. She saw that there was still one more, but no one spoke. "Whose is this?"

"It's mine, its name is Ali, and it's the last one."

"Sister Rui, they all use their own names."

Su Rui nodded and said, "I want to play too. Let's play together and compete again."

'Okay', several children agreed immediately.

"How about you help me pick one?" Su Rui said as she looked for ants on the ground.

"I found two. Can we have one each, sister?" Ali said to Su Rui very seriously.

"Of course," Ali put the ant in front of her, and Su Rui pointed at it with a branch, for fear that it would run away first.

"I named it Xiaorui, which is also my name."

"Please take your positions, get set, go."

As soon as Su Rui finished shouting, she quickly guided the ant to make it run forward, but it ended up running to Qiangzi's starting line.

Xiaolin and Xiaowen looked at each other, neither of them knowing why the situation turned out like this. Su Rui suddenly joined their game.

Xiao Lin immediately took out his cell phone and said, "I want to record this scene and ask Sister Rui to treat me to a big meal."

Xiaolin turned around, recorded Su Rui from all angles, and clicked save.

In the end, the winner was Ahri. The others either ran off the track or ran to other people's homes.

In the end, none of them were convinced, including Su Rui, so they competed again.

Xiaohua won this time, and Su Rui was still in last place. Just when Su Rui was about to ask for another competition, their family called them back to eat.

Su Rui had no choice but to give up, but they agreed to compete again after dinner.

The three of them continued to stroll around. "Sister Rui, I didn't expect you could play with them?" Xiao Lin seemed to have discovered a new world.

"Why, do you look down on me? I played this game when I was a kid, too," playing with them made me feel like I was back in my childhood.

After walking a little further, we saw a middle-aged woman sitting at the door, holding a child in her arms.

Xiaowen saw him and called out, "Sister Li, the child is crying again."

"Yes, this child makes a fuss when it's time to eat. He just wants to come out, and he stops making a fuss when he comes out."

"Hey, I've never seen this little girl before."

"This is the heroine of our crew. She has been filming for the past few days since she arrived. She didn't have any scenes today, so she came out for a walk."

Sister Li sighed and said, "There is nothing poor in this village."

"Sister Li, have you ever thought about building a road?" Xiao Lin asked.

"Why haven't we thought about it? A few years ago, we discussed it and estimated the money, but no one mentioned it again."

"We can't earn much money working outside, and this road is a huge project, we simply can't afford to build it."

All three of them were silent, not knowing what to say.

Finally, it was Sister Li who broke the silence, "You guys can't get used to the food here, right? A few days ago, I saw a little girl with a chubby face. Yesterday, when I went to look for her, I saw that her face had become thinner. It was obvious that she was too hungry to get used to the food here."

……

Drop drop drop.

Muchen's hands were groping around on the ground, but he couldn't find it after searching for a long time. He opened his eyes drowsily, got up from the ground, picked up the phone on the dining table, and said, "Hello."

Yao Bo's voice came from the phone, "Xiao Mu, where are you? There is a song that seems to be suitable for you, come over and try it."

Muchen's eyes lit up immediately, "Director Yao, I'll be there right away."

After hanging up the phone, looking at the mess in the house, he didn't bother to clean it up and rushed directly into the bathroom. A few minutes later, he came out and ran outside.

This song could very well be his chance to become a huge hit, and he couldn't let it slip away.

Muchen ran up to the office and saw Director Yao talking on the phone. "If I give him this song, he might become an overnight sensation. This song is really suitable for him."
