Chapter 1415: Everyone’s Thoughts
In the car, Chi Shuyan confirmed with Aunt Miao and Qi Zhenbai that the village chief, Pan Dalei, was really dead. Not only that, the Daoist priest who had been hiding in the village all this time, and who had caused the tragedy in the village, had also died at Qi Zhenbai’s hands. Hearing this, Chi Shuyan was in a daze. She felt that the matter had ended too easily; the man next to her was also giving her a strange feeling. However, when she took a closer look at him and exchanged a few words with him, she didn’t sense any problems.
She was sure that the man next to her was indeed Qi Zhenbai.
Fine, she wouldn’t dwell on it for now. They still had to leave the village first.
On the other side, Ruan Shenglin, Yang Kun and Director Wang, who were waiting for Chi Shuyan to come back, were anxious. Feng Yuanlin wasn’t worried that something would happen to Shuyan. Her strength aside, there was no one to hold her back, so there shouldn’t be any big problems.
As for the earthquake, he felt that Shuyan was confident that she still had time. Otherwise, she wouldn’t waste time and make them wait. The fact that she could still make a trip back to the village meant that there was enough time.
Feng Yuanlin had guessed most of Shuyan’s thoughts, but the others couldn’t guess, let alone be as calm as Feng Yuanlin.
In the car, Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming’s calm disappeared bit by bit. The two of them had been shocked by Director Feng’s injury earlier. Then, Master Chi, who was their pillar of support, suddenly left. Time was ticking.
Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming knew very well that the earthquake in Dashan Village really wasn’t just for show.
At the thought of the words ‘magnitude 9,’ their hearts trembled violently.
Time passed second by second. There were still five minutes until midnight. The more the two thought about it, the more flustered they became.
Xiao Shan couldn’t help but ask Director Feng again, “Director Feng, did… did Sister-in-law say when she would be back? It’ll be midnight in five minutes.”
As soon as Xiao Shan brought that up, Wu Haoming immediately echoed him. He looked at the dark mountains around him, and his heart sank.
Before Feng Yuanlin could comfort the two boys, a group of people from the film crew sent Ruan Shenglin, Yang Kun, Yan Zhengming, Director Wang and Song Yanru over.
As time passed, Ruan Shenglin and the others panicked, just like Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming.
However, Ruan Shenglin and Yang Kun trusted Master Chi very much and were smart people. Although they were a little flustered, they still had some confidence. Seeing that Master Chi’s friend was here, the two of them were a little relieved.
At first, the rest of the crew, who didn’t believe in the earthquake or Chi Shuyan at all, couldn’t sit still and couldn’t wait. Now, they rushed over. It was Director Wang and the others who had specially asked Yang Kun and Ruan Shenglin to bring them over, in an attempt to find out more from Feng Yuanlin and the others.
Director Wang didn’t dare put on airs anymore. He first asked Feng Yuanlin and the others carefully, “Brothers… Did Master Chi contact you? When did she say she would be back?”
Feng Yuanlin rolled down the window and swept a sharp gaze over the people gathered there. Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming were afraid of aggravating Director Feng’s injury, so before they got out of the car, they said to Feng Yuanlin, “Director Feng, we’ll explain to them. You rest!”
Feng Yuanlin took in the panicked and anxious expressions of the group of people. He didn’t have to think much to guess their purpose and the questions they wanted to ask.
Feng Yuanlin didn’t have time to explain much to this group of people. Sometimes, the more you explained, the worse it made things – if you explained a little, they would start imagining things. Apart from causing panic, it had no other effect. So, when he heard Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming, Feng Yuanlin didn’t refuse and directly handed this matter to the two of them. He rolled up the window and leaned against the car seat to rest.
Outside the car, Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming said to Director Wang, “Sister… Master Chi hasn’t contacted us yet. There’s no hurry!”
Director Wang, Yan Zhengming and Song Yanru choked at the last sentence. The three of them looked anxious and terrified.
Ruan Shenglin and Yang Kun were shocked when they saw Director Wang’s pale face and how he looked like he was about to faint again. It was Ruan Shenglin who comforted him. “Director Wang, Master Chi definitely has her own arrangements. My intuition tells me that she should be back soon! Let’s not scare ourselves!”
Yang Kun took in Director Wang’s pale face and scoffed in his heart. Now, he was in a hurry to leave the village. Earlier, this person had vowed to turn around and return to the village. Now, he finally knew how to be afraid?
Of course, Yang Kun’s disdain wasn’t just directed at Director Wang, but at the rest of the crew. When everyone in the film crew had gathered just now, he had heard many people encouraging Director Wang to leave first. Fortunately, with a few emphatic words from Shenglin, Director Wang regained his senses, which calmed the group down.
So, Yang Kun was displeased. However, after being in this circle for so long, he could restrain his emotions and not vent them freely. At that moment, he scoffed at Director Wang in his heart, but he echoed Shenglin’s words with a concerned expression. “Director Wang, Shenglin is right. Let’s not scare ourselves. It’s better to wait patiently for Master Chi to come back. She will definitely come back as soon as possible!”
Seeing that his words weren’t of any use, Yang Kun didn’t care. Director Wang still wanted to get some information out of Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming, but the two of them were tight-lipped and didn’t say anything useful.
On the other hand, Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming deliberately revealed that Director Feng had almost been buried alive when he left the village a few days ago.
Sure enough!
As soon as they said that, everyone, including Ruan Shenglin, turned pale. Director Wang also completely gave up on the idea of running away first. Song Yanru helped him stagger away.
Ruan Shenglin and Yang Kun still had things to say to Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming, so they weren’t in a hurry to leave with Director Wang. Yan Zhengming naturally followed Kun’er. After Director Wang and Song Yanru left, Yang Kun couldn’t wait to confirm the truth with the two of them.
Yang Kun and Ruan Shenglin thought that Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming had specially come up with this nonsense to lie to Director Wang. Who would have thought that it was really true?
Sure enough, their faces changed. They were terrified and scared, and their backs turned cold. After listening to this, Yan Zhengming was so scared that his heart turned cold!
It was a good thing he had never planned to run away first.
Yang Kun, Ruan Shenglin and Yan Zhengming took a long time to calm down and accept the truth. They were very glad that they were honest enough. Even if Master Chi wasn’t around, they had never thought of running away first. Otherwise, they would really deserve whatever happened to them. It was better to follow Master Chi.
Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming took in the changes in Ruan Shenglin, Yang Kun and Yan Zhengming’s faces and were very satisfied.
“What else?” Wu Haoming sneered. “Don’t think we didn’t hear some say that they want to leave the village first.”
When Wu Haoming mentioned this, Ruan Shenglin, Yang Kun and Yan Zhengming were very embarrassed.
Xiao Shan couldn’t help but mock, “What? These people believe our sister-in-law now? They’re not going back to the village?”
Speaking of which, Cao Zhengsong and Song Chu had accidentally revealed everything.
They knew very well that no one in the film crew had believed Master Chi at all, so Wu Haoming and Xiao Shan didn’t have a good impression of anyone except for Yang Kun, Ruan Shenglin and the others. After that, those people still wanted to leave first, and the two of them didn’t have a good impression of them.
Ruan Shenglin, Yang Kun and Yan Zhengming apologized with bitter expressions. Director Wang and the others had witnessed Master Chi’s methods for themselves, so how could they not believe her?
“The two of you can be considered talented; you coaxed so many people from the film crew to leave the village, and your luck is good!” Wu Haoming hadn’t had the time to tease them about this before, but now that he had the time, he couldn’t help but be playful, emphasizing the word “luck.”
Ruan Shenglin and Yang Kun were also helpless. Back then, they had used the word “earthquake” to coax the rest of the film crew to leave the village, but didn’t expect an earthquake to really happen here.
Yang Kun was about to reply, when someone from the film crew called for them and said that Director Wang had something urgent to discuss with them!
Ruan Shenglin and the others could only wave at Wu Haoming and Xiao Shan and head over first.
