Chapter 59: Not That Smart After All

  Shu Xiao Ai's face lit up with a smile, and she pouted at him, "Actually, I'm not stupid, it's just that I'm not particularly clever either."

  “…………”

  "The crew has assembled, I won't have breakfast anymore, let's go first."

  Shu Xiao Ai finished speaking and then went out the door.

  She took the bus to the film crew and everyone was waiting for her.

  It's rare for the director not to scold anyone, and Shu Xiao Ai also got on the big bus very consciously. The car headed towards Beishan.

  It's already eleven o'clock from downtown to our destination.

  Sun Dandan got off the car and complained, "This desolate mountain wilderness, what a godforsaken place where even birds don't shit?"

  Her assistant echoed, "Yes, Sister Dandan, there is no internet here, no supermarket, and no air conditioning. What are we going to do after work on such a hot summer day?"

  "Let's see how the director arranges it."

  Xiao Ai got off the car and felt that the temperature here was very low, probably because there were mountains and forests nearby, deep in the mountains it's always chilly.

  She didn't think much and helped set up the tent.

  The lunch was bought back by staff who drove a bus for dozens of miles.

  By the afternoon, the theatrical backdrop was set up, and everyone's rest tents were also set up one by one. Next came the change of clothes and makeup, as well as reciting lines, and with all this preparation, night had already fallen.

  "It's started!"

  A loud voice from a megaphone, all actors and staff are ready.

  Because we can't shoot many scenes here, so there are relatively fewer people coming compared to the crew.

  As soon as the director says "start", the actors enter their state and begin performing.

  Because of the last time's pond incident, Sun Dandan was more restrained. She didn't want to cause trouble in a place like this either. Shu Xiaoxiao was also very serious and hardworking, so it was rare that they passed once without any issues.

  The two or three days' worth of nighttime scenes were finished in one night, and when the director wrapped up work in the second half of the night, he was visibly excited, with progress much faster than he had imagined.

  He didn't know that another reason for this was that everyone didn't want to stay here.

  But it was already late at night, so everyone decided to sleep for another half of the night and get up again during the day to dismantle the equipment.

  Little did they know, just as they were about to set up their tent and go to sleep, a loud and clear female voice suddenly echoed through the valley.

  An extremely mournful voice that makes one's scalp feel numb upon hearing it.

  Shu Xiao Ai looked at everyone's reaction and found that they all seemed to have not heard anything, quietly entering the tent to rest.

  She had a faintly ominous premonition and immediately came to the director's side, saying, "Director, let's hurry up and dismantle the props and take the bus back?"

  The director glared at her, "Shu Xiao Ai, everyone has been working since early morning, not a single moment of rest during the day, and then we shot scenes till midnight. We're all exhausted to death. Now we have to pack up the props and head back to the city, don't you think that's inhumane?"

  "But... this place is really..."

  The director didn't let her finish speaking and waved his hand impatiently. "Alright, stop nagging, go to sleep quickly."

  Shu Xiao Ai could only return to her own tent with a huff, and soon fell asleep due to exhaustion.

  He had hardly slept for an hour when he suddenly sat up.

  "Phoenix, oh phoenix, return to your hometown, roaming the four seas in search of your mate. When the time has not yet come, there is nowhere to go. How can you understand now that you have ascended to this hall?"

  A delicate female voice, a soaring melody, listening to it makes Xiao Ai's heart tremble with joy.

  She quietly crawled to the entrance of the tent and slightly lifted a small gap with her fingers.

  At this glance, it was inevitable that her gaze fell on a transparent figure not far away. Shu Xiao Ai covered her mouth with one hand and slowly retreated to the deepest part of the tent, her whole body trembling like chaff.
