Due to the lack of time, on the second day after arriving in Sri Lanka, the crew started setting the scene, discussing the plot, and preparing to film.
This day was just a preparation, so there was no official auction. There was plenty of time, so it was done earlier.
Yu Meng nodded. "Then I'll have to trouble you."
"Editor, come over here for a bit!" The actors in these places are not really in a good mood, see if you can help explain it. "
Fang Rui stopped and looked at Yu Meng: "Do you mind waiting for me for a bit … …" After saying that, she looked at the assistant director and young actor who were in a terrible state of anxiety. She sighed helplessly and said, "Hai, forget it. It seems like it will not end here anytime soon."
Yu Meng patted Fang Rui's shoulder. "It's fine, you go ahead. I'm fine by myself."
She had made a lot of guides before coming here.
"Alright then." Fang Rui had no other choice: "Be careful, if you have anything to do, remember to call me."
"Alright."
After bidding farewell to Fang Rui, Yu Meng walked into the distance by herself.
Actually, she didn't have a special destination in her heart, she just wanted to walk around for a bit.
Unknowingly, she began to walk towards the north of Sri Lanka. In truth, Yu Meng herself was also a half dead person, especially after coming to this kind of place. The beauty of this place was enough to shake her to the core, causing her to be even more confused.
As for the northern part of the Sri Lanka, it was inhabited by bandits. The majority of the people wanted by the countries lived in this place, and since this was the place where the civil war was the most persecuted, the development was even worse.
Because of her confusion, Yu Meng didn't know anything about it.
She felt that the beach on the other side of the sky looked pink and wanted to see it, so she went.
He didn't know that danger was approaching quietly.
Although Yu Meng didn't dress up too arrogantly, she was still a rich girl. She had the looks of a rich person.
A Chinese girl traveling alone looked weak and gentle, as if she was very rich.
This was the favorite target of every robber since ancient times.
In the northern part of the Sri Lanka, other than the bandits, there were also some illegal immigrants who were hiding in the sparsely populated tourist areas, specifically robbing tourists.
Just like that, Yu Meng was taken as a target.
Under the beautiful scenery of the sea and sky, Yu Meng suddenly felt something cold pressing against her back.
"Don 'tmove!"
Yu Meng could roughly guess what had happened to her.
She didn't seem to be panicking as she had imagined.
"Whatdoyouwant?"
"Money."
It was a straightforward, untechnical dialogue.
Yu Meng took a deep breath.
She could not turn around, could not even see which country had robbed her.
Only the nasal voice of a man, with a repulsive odor.
"Followme."
Yu Meng followed the direction of the gunshot and slowly moved backwards.
After walking a short distance, they saw rows and rows of coconut trees along the shore. Yu Meng was pressed down against a tree, the bark stinging her cheeks.
Yu Meng couldn't help but cry out.
"Shutup!"
Yu Meng could feel four hands groping around on her body, running away from her cellphone, purse, and watch.
But those hands did not stop.
Yu Meng's heart tightened. Her mind was in a mess.
In her panic, she blurted it out in Chinese.
"I've already given you the money!" What else do you want!? "
When Yu Meng heard the laughter, she was immediately spun around, and her back slammed into the tree trunk, causing her to experience another burst of pain.
She finally saw their faces clearly.
Among the three men, one of them was standing not too far away, watching the passersby. The other two were surrounding Yu Meng, their skin dark and shiny.
"YOU." One of the African men pointed at Yu Meng and squeezed out a shoddy Chinese phrase, "I-- Pleasure... You..."
Then he saw his thick black lips moistened by the protruding tongue, and he felt sick to his stomach.
All of a sudden, Yu Meng's collar was ripped open as a pitch-black hand reached into her neck and pressed down on her chest.
Yu Meng trembled.
"No!"
She struggled to push him away, but the black man was tall and big.
"Don't!" it 'llbecray. "
Yu Meng was in despair. Her tears were dripping onto her neck. She used one hand to grab the tree trunk behind her. Finally, she caught hold of a branch and broke it with force. Then, she viciously stabbed it into the man's shoulder.
A blood-curdling screech sounded, causing the remaining two men who were on guard to turn their gazes over.
Yu Meng desperately ran away, screaming for help, but there were very few people around. Almost everyone with the same skin color turned to look at Yu Meng, before quickly moving away.
Everyone was protecting themselves and did not want to meddle in other people's business.
Yu Meng's heart was filled with despair.
The footsteps behind him were getting closer and heavier.
Her heart was slowly sinking into the abyss of darkness.
Suddenly, a deafening gunshot rang out, causing Yu Meng to fall to the ground, shivering in fear.
Trembling, she turned around and saw a black man lying on the ground with his eyes wide open. There was a shocking bloody hole between his eyebrows.
The remaining two men shot at a tree that Yu Meng couldn't see. The air was thick with the smell of gunpowder. However, after a few loud sounds, a shadow suddenly sprang out from behind the tree. In the instant that Yu Meng could not keep up with her gaze, it knocked down the two black men.
Yu Meng was completely terrified.
She lay paralyzed on the ground, staring at everything that was happening in front of her. Suddenly, she felt as if she was in a dream.
The man was wearing an old, laundered, baggy overalls and a hat and mask that covered most of his face.
He walked towards Yu Meng, walking on the beach. Every place he passed by was filled with deep footprints.
He stood in front of Yu Meng and reached out a hand to help her up.
Yu Meng hadn't been able to escape from her terror. Moreover, this man's hands were covered in blood.
It was the black man's blood.
Yu Meng did not respond to the man's hand, but backed off in fright.
The man's hand stiffened, but he could only slowly withdraw it.
He didn't have any other intentions. He just wanted to help Yu Meng up, but he didn't say anything. In the end, he just silently turned around and walked away.
The man had already walked a short distance away when Yu Meng finally stopped feeling weak. She tried her best to stand up, but even though her steps were a bit unsteady, she still tried to walk towards that man.
No matter what, it was this man who had saved her just now. Moreover, Yu Meng had found out that he didn't have any malicious intentions, so she mustered her courage to shout out loud.
"You … Is it Chinese? "
His hair was black, and the bits of hair at his ears, where the hat did not cover them, were black.
And from the looks of his body, he didn't seem like a tall and sturdy beauty from Europe.
The man's footsteps paused, but he didn't turn around or say anything. He only paused for a moment.
Yu Meng quickened her steps and walked over.
"Thank you for saving me."
The man still didn't have any reaction. Yu Meng thought that he might have ignored her because he didn't understand Chinese.
"Thankyou." Yu Meng stood beside the man. Her legs were still shaking, and her voice was the same.
The man looked at her, raised his hand, and tried to grasp Remnant Dream's wrist.
Yu Meng was shocked, and couldn't help but take two steps back.
She didn't notice the stone behind her so she quickly retreated. Her heels hit the stone and her feet became unstable. She was about to fall back.
Suddenly, someone grabbed his wrist. In the next second, he could not help but fall forward.
Just like that, Yu Meng pressed down her savior.
"Right …" Yu Meng was about to speak in Chinese, but was worried that the man wouldn't understand, so she hastily changed her words. "Sorry."
Yu Meng smelled the man's scent. It was a faint, familiar fragrance.
Suddenly, she felt an unknown sense of confidence. She looked into the man's eyes and confidently said, "You're Chinese, right?"
As the man was suppressed by Yu Meng, his breathing under the mask became heavier and heavier.
"Sorry, sorry." Only then did Yu Meng realize that she had been suppressing him for too long. It was truly rude. She quickly got up from the man's body and carefully helped him up.
"Thank you." Yu Meng said embarrassedly, "You saved me twice."
Yu Meng drew two fingers, representing 'Twice'.
The man immediately grabbed Yu Meng's wrist.
Although Yu Meng was shocked, she mustered her courage and did not dodge.
She thought he was a good man.
Because when he had fallen, his pitch-black eyes had been without any threat.
"You …" Yu Mengmeng knew what he was going to do.
The man held Yu Meng's wrist with one hand while drawing on her palm with the other hand with his index finger.
Yu Meng could feel it carefully. The man had written, "Be careful."
It was Chinese. Yu Meng smiled because she was glad that she had guessed correctly.
Yu Meng's eyes were bright. The man looked at her, and the depth of her eyes gradually turned into a pool of spring water, gently making love.
"Danger."
The man was writing and painting in Yu Meng's hand.
Yu Meng nodded and thanked him.
"You … "This place..." Yu Meng pointed at her mouth and asked, "Can't you speak?"
The man looked at Yu Meng and wrote on her palm, "You … "Let's go back."
"You mean I have to go home?"
The man nodded.
"My family is in China. I'm going to stay like this for two more months. "
The man frowned.
"You're Chinese, right?"
The man nodded.
"You … Any family? "
The man's pitch-black pupils suddenly fluctuated. He looked at Yu Meng and, without replying, let go of her hand.
He turned around and left.
Yu Meng did not know what had happened. She had asked something wrong, something that might have hurt her. She ran a few steps and chased after her. "Sorry, did I say something wrong?"
The man didn't stop. He continued walking.
"I'm sorry, I apologize if I said something wrong."
The man finally answered and shook his head.
"You saved me, how am I going to repay you?"
The man quickened his pace.
"If you leave so quickly, I won't be able to keep up." As they walked along the beach, Yu Meng seemed to struggle very hard. In just a few steps, she had already lost her breath.
The man had no intention of slowing down.
Yu Meng could no longer keep up. She stood on the spot, watching the man's back as she slowly disappeared from her sight, under the dim light of the night on the beach.
She suddenly felt that this figure was somewhat familiar.
