When Xu Jiarui woke up, it was exactly seven o'clock.

He thought about it, but still didn't wake Mu Ziyang up, got dressed and left.

He was still in a daze while sitting on the bus.Recalling the scenes and clips of last night, he felt unbelievable: he just did it with a man in order to get some money.

The early morning wind blew through the car window with a hint of damp and refreshing breath, spraying on his face.The closer you get to the small alleys of the community where he lives, the more you see, and many stalls are full of people.

He got off at a warehouse.

Xu Jiarui walked to the guard room skillfully, and said to the smoking old man, "I want a form."

The old man squinted at him, opened the drawer and took out a form for him.

Xu Jiarui took a pen and filled out the form, then walked to another small window and handed the form in.

The person inside the glass glanced at him, stamped him, and gave him another piece of clothing.

Xu Jiarui took it, changed it, and sat at the door waiting.

The work of moving goods has always been short of people.It's too hard and physically exhausting. People who do this job will inevitably have accidents occasionally, so there must always be a substitute.More people, faster, save time, and can load more goods.The wages are settled on the same day, and people who are occasionally idle at home can do odd jobs.

At eight o'clock, a few people came, and when they saw Xu Jiarui, they understood what was going on, and the leader greeted him, "Let's go, little brother."

Then began a busy day.

At 05:30 in the afternoon, Xu Jiarui returned to his small private room.

Xu Jiarui turned on the TV and turned up the volume to make this place more popular.Then he went to the kitchen, heated up the rice, fried a few dishes casually, and ate while watching the rice.

With a 'ding', the phone rang.

a message:

WeChat: 'Lonely Canoe' requests to add you as a friend.

Xu Jiarui clicked on it, clicked Add, and noted the guide.

He thought for a while and asked: Director Mu, are you okay?

After a long time, the other party replied: It’s okay.

After waiting for a while, neither of the two moved.

Xu Jiarui clicked on Mu Ziyang's circle of friends after eating, and saw that there were hundreds of them.There are no photos of the crew or publicity, etc., just private photos of relatives and friends and a lot of mood sticky notes.

Xu Jiarui started to like all the Moments he saw, then turned off the lights and went to sleep.

A good night's sleep, he didn't dream of anything.

When we arrived at the set the next day, it was still raining lightly.There was some fog in the forest where we were filming, and this fog just matched the scenes in the script, so we started shooting earlier.

The morning in the forest was cold, so Xu Jiarui was wearing a vest and coat, so he couldn't help feeling cold.

When I have nothing to do, I just stay like this, and I feel relaxed.

At [-] o'clock in the morning, I returned to Hengdian and started filming the scene where the hero and heroine meet.

This shows that his role has arrived: to act as a passerby.

After getting dressed, he planned to go to the street and walk first.Before he had gone a few steps, a certain assistant came over to him and said, "Jia Rui, right? The director said, let you play Qi Yu."

Who is Qi Yu?Qi Yu is a small ruffian among local hooligans. He is timid and afraid of getting into trouble, but he always has a small dream of making a fortune, so one day he kidnaps someone and wants to search for money. The kidnapped one is Li Yue.

Xu Jiarui didn't know about this, and according to his assistant, he planned to arrange a passerby for him, so that's good, and he could get money.

Thinking of this, he nodded and said, "Got it."

You don't need to change your clothes, just put two fake beards on your face, and you can shoot directly when the shooting starts later.

"Action!"

The camera stays in a dilapidated hut, a lonely little boy squatting on the ground crying, with a begging bowl in front of him.The passers-by around were very indifferent, no one threw money, and no one felt sorry for him and gave him a bun.

Li Yue, who had just walked out of the gate, just happened to see this scene. She walked over and squatted down, and asked with concern: "Little brother, are you alone?"

In her impression, it should be one old and one young. If there is only one young, it must be separated from the older one.These are what she sees in "Little Miscellaneous Things in the Jianghu", and she firmly believes in them.

The little boy looked up at her, raised his dark face, "Little brother, I got separated from my grandpa, I still don't know where he is, and, besides, I haven't eaten steamed buns for two days..."

After hearing this, Li Yue took out a little money from her waist and gave it to him, "Little brother, here is some money for you. You go to buy food. Do you want to stop begging? You can come to my house and be a servant..."

Suddenly, she heard footsteps behind her, and just as she was about to look back, she was knocked unconscious by a stick.

Qi Yu, who had a beard on his back, put down his pole and giggled, and said to the little boy, "Little brat, your performance is better than those in the troupe. It's a pity that this kid is so stupid, and he doesn't beat him like that."

After finishing speaking, he dragged the man into the alley and squatted down.First, he flipped through the belt, and pulled his beard when he saw nothing, "Let me see if there is anything on his chest."

Seeing that he was about to reach out his hand, Qi San squeaked: "Brother Yu, this idiot is a woman."

"Woman?" Qi Yu immediately stretched his hand back, muttering to himself: "What's the matter with the woman? I'll be sorry for Xiangyu if I touch it..." Then he turned his head and said to Qi San, "You come here."

Qi San had no choice but to half-kneel down, and just as he was about to reach out his hand before touching his clothes, he heard a loud shout: "You bastards, what are you doing shameless in broad daylight!"

The two turned their heads one after another, and saw an imposing man looking at them with stern eyes.

The two looked at each other, complaining in their hearts, Qi Yu had no choice but to say: "What's the matter, my brother and I just came over to see if he could be woken up because we saw this young man lying here."

Qi San also said: "Exactly, and besides, we don't do that kind of thing!"

But the two inevitably felt guilty, Qi Yu muttered a few words, and took Qi San away.

The person who came was Liu An, the eldest son of the Liu family and Li Yue's future husband-in-law.Seeing that the two had already left, Liu An hurried over, seeing that face, she was secretly startled: Isn't this the eldest lady of the Li family?

"Miss Li, Miss Li!"

Seeing that she was not awake, Liu An patted her face again.

Li Yue gradually woke up, and when she saw it, it was the eldest son of the Liu family.At this time, she realized that she had been cheated, and it was Liu An who saved her, so she quickly stood up and thanked her.

Liu An couldn't help being worried, and sent her back to Li's mansion, and finally said: "Miss Li will bring a guard with her next time she goes out, it's good for self-defense, and if it's not good, bring a maid, let her see if there are any suspicious people around. , to prevent such a thing from happening again.”

Li Yue blushed, "Li Yue understands, next time I will definitely bring a guard."
