After being universally criticized online, I went viral on military-themed variety shows.

Chapter 379 Going out to join the fun in the middle of the night, something unusual happens in the deserted village temple.

"Are you still going in after the video call ends?"

"Hmm, let me take another look."

"Then send me a message or give me a call after you come out, otherwise I'll just come over to find you. I can dig you out even if you're underground."

Li Chengxiao twitched his lips. "Okay."

Jiang Hanying nodded in satisfaction when she saw that he replied fairly readily. "Then I'll hang up."

The main reason was that she heard Pei Yuan's footsteps getting closer and closer to the bedroom door, which meant the stewed duck was ready and she was being called to eat.

Sure enough, there was a knock on the door as soon as she hung up the phone.

Pei Yuan's cautious voice came through the crack in the door, "Sister, sister? Are you awake? The duck stew is ready!"

Jiang Hanying first glanced at the monkey, who had consciously hidden itself, before rubbing her hair, getting out of bed, and opening the door. She couldn't help but take a deep breath, "It smells so good!"

"I've served it all, and I've also brought back the dinner the crew prepared. Sis, how did you sleep?"

"Oh, it's OK."

The monkey, who was silently hiding in the corner and couldn't help but swallow hard when it smelled the fragrance wafting into the bedroom: Liar!
I clearly didn't sleep!
After silently cursing, he remembered that the person was probably woken up by the sound of it scratching at the window.

Cough, take it back!

Despite their efforts, only half of the pot of old duck soup was consumed in the end.

After all, besides the ducks, there was also dinner prepared by the film crew.

Pei Yuan put the remaining half pot into a lunchbox and put it in the refrigerator to chill, "I can reheat it tomorrow morning and drink it again."

After tidying up the table again, she picked up the freshly printed schedule for tomorrow and said, "I'll head back now."

After she left, Jiang Hanying called out the still hungry girl and pointed to the food she had secretly hidden, "Eat."

The monkey glanced longingly in the direction of the refrigerator.

Where's the duck? Where's the soup?

Jiang Hanying immediately moved a step forward to block its view, "What are you looking at? There's none for you. I've already let you eat and drink for free, and you're even staying in my place. Don't go too far."

monkey:"……"

The monkey reluctantly looked away.

It endured it to survive!
After finishing his meal, he consciously washed his lunchbox and then came back to practice calligraphy in the living room.

Jiang Hanying sat across from him and looked at the script for the scenes to be filmed the next day. Feeling sleepy again, she closed the script, got up, and went back to her bedroom to sleep.

Before closing the door, he reminded me, "Finish writing on all those blank sheets of paper before you go to sleep, and don't forget to turn off the light at the end."

"Hey!"

The pen tip drew a heavy line on the white paper.

It's past eleven o'clock in the evening.

The living room lights had just been turned off a short while ago.

Jiang Hanying unconsciously turned over in bed, hearing her phone buzz under her pillow. She paused, fumbled for it, and opened one eye to look at the newly sent message: "[Returned]"

Just as she finished reading and was about to put her phone down, a thought suddenly struck her: she wanted to sense the location of the cheap owner.

This sensation instantly dispelled any lingering sleepiness she might have felt.

What's going on? Are they being chased? Moving so fast?
I was just about to send her a message to ask, but then I changed my mind. I'm running so fast, I might not even have time to check my phone. No wonder I only sent her those two words, without even punctuation. I guess I didn't have time.

Thinking it best to just get out of bed, put on some clothes, and head out to join the fun.

As I passed the living room, I paused, glanced down at the little monkey lying on the carpet, fast asleep, and simply reached out and scooped it up and put it in my pocket.

It's uncertain whether this little guy will be back before Pei Yuan knocks on the door tomorrow morning. Plus, Lin Mu, who's either chasing someone or trying to catch a monkey, has checked into the hotel. It's safer for him to stay by her side.

As for whether following her out that door will be dangerous, well, that's up to fate. If we can save her, we will; if not, then so be it!
Just take it easy.

The monkey, who had just fallen asleep, was forcibly woken up by being dragged away: "..."

It can't let go!

Wait, the hand holding its neck feels a little hot!

Before she could even react, Jiang Hanying changed her shoes and hurriedly left the house.

Because she sensed that in such a short time, the location of her cheap owner had become much farther away from her.

Fortunately, after walking a short distance from the hotel to the roadside, I was able to flag down a taxi that had just dropped off a passenger.

After opening the car door and getting in, she directly told the driver, "Sir, just do as I say."

The driver couldn't help but glance at the rearview mirror, seemingly wanting to ask something but ultimately not. Jiang Hanying didn't care what he thought of his words, and seeing that there was an intersection ahead, she said, "Turn left."

Fortunately, it was already late at night, and there were far fewer cars on the road. The taxi drove relatively smoothly and at a decent speed, with Jiang Hanying occasionally reminding it to turn left or right.

Jiang Hanying also needed to sense her cheap master's latest location from time to time. She noticed the probing look from the monkey nestled in her coat pocket but didn't intend to pay it any mind.

As the taxi continued to veer further and further off course following her directions, the driver became somewhat nervous. "Miss, are you sure you want to keep going? If we go any further, we'll be heading into the mountains."

"continue."

"Okay, okay."

The taxi stopped at the foot of the mountain in front of a dark, abandoned village.

“Young lady, I really can’t go any further. Look at this village, it’s been abandoned for decades. The roads inside might not even be safe for driving. Besides, we night drivers here are a bit superstitious about this, afraid of bringing back a few neutrinos on our way back…”

How much is the fare?

"Oh, you want to get off here? Are you sure?"

Jiang Hanying emphasized again: "Travel fare."

The driver glanced at the meter. "Sixty yuan and twenty cents, you can just give me sixty."

Jiang Hanying took out her phone, quickly scanned the QR code to transfer the money, and then got out of the car.

The driver watched her continue driving without the slightest hesitation, then cursed himself for being so nosy. He couldn't help but roll down the window and lean out to ask, "Young lady, you didn't come here specifically to find a secluded place to end your life, did you? Let me tell you, life is still very precious..."

Jiang Hanying: "...You're overthinking it, no."

After saying that, he walked even faster!

The driver, with the taxi's high beams on, watched helplessly as the figure, without looking back, quickly disappeared into the light. He couldn't resist opening the window for a smoke before turning around and driving back.

He wanted to wait, but he was afraid in this desolate wilderness. He was sorry.

Jiang Hanying had no idea that the taxi driver who brought her there had gone through such a struggle before leaving. After she was out of his sight, she pulled the little monkey out of her pocket and threw it on the ground.

"Go your own way, we're not responsible if you get lost."

monkey:"……"

A man and a monkey stumbled into the depths of the deserted village.

When they reached a building that looked like a village temple, Jiang Hanying paused, hesitated for a moment, and then decided to go in and take a look.

Along the way, there wasn't a single person, let alone an animal, in this village.

The presence of this village temple was the first living presence she had encountered so far, and it seemed very unusual.

The village temple was low, and Jiang Hanying bent over as she walked in. She saw that the offering table at the entrance was covered with a dense mass of candle embers, and the faded gilded incense burner was filled with incense ash. Even though no one had worshipped there for so many years, she could still smell a faint, lingering fragrance of incense.

Looking up, I saw a fierce-looking Vajra.

And that faint, living presence was right behind King Kong.
