Chapter 1535: "Murder in Hot Spring Villa" (4)
This Jizo Bodhisattva has a three-headed body, a round head, and an oval body, which does not look like the majesty of a bodhisattva, but it is very cute. It wore a red silk scarf around its neck, which seemed to have just been tied up, fluttering slightly in the wind.
The couple nodded to Honda and said "hello".
Honda was slightly embarrassed and lifted the plastic bag in his hand to explain his intention.
"Oh, thank you so much. I would have liked to go down the mountain and buy it myself. Thank you so much. The grandson of the Shimada family bent down to take the plastic bag, and his wife followed suit.
"You're welcome, we're here to interrupt. Sorry to bother you just now. Honda apologized.
"Nothing, no interruption. I just took my wife for a walk. She hadn't been here before. β
"Oh, that's right."
The granddaughter-in-law of the Shimada family smiled shyly.
"My grandmother has been taking care of this here. My father and I both have other jobs. There were a lot of old guests here when I was a kid, and now many of them have passed away or moved away. β
"I see."
After a few words between the two, Honda was ready to say goodbye and leave.
"I won't bother you two anymore."
"Where, where. I'm delaying your work. β
They politely owed each other a debt before Honda left down the hallway.
Getting around the corner, Honda looked back as he turned around.
The couple was still standing in front of Jizo Bodhisattva, talking about something together.
A little doubt ran into Honda's mind.
The enshrinement of Jizo Bodhisattva in the inn seems to be a bit unreasonable.
I don't know much about this, but I know from the scattered consciousness in Honda's mind that Jizo Bodhisattva is a bodhisattva who sends people to life, and usually sends children to reincarnate, which is a kind of Buddha who shelters children. And my own impression is that Jizo Bodhisattva is a Bodhisattva who stays in hell and surpasses the sinners there. I don't know if it's a cultural difference, or if the two of us don't remember quite right.
Honda didn't take this matter to heart. I didn't see anything strange in the Buddha statue either. At least, that Buddha statue does not have the special power of the Buddha head that I saw when I met the Void Buddha before.
And so the day passed.
Honda didn't encounter anything weird.
Sunset, moonrise, wait until the moonset, sunrise, a new day begins, and Honda's life also enters the countdown.
He didn't look much different from the previous days.
His face was a little uglier than the previous few days, and he was mentally exhausted.
After many busy days, the whole crew looked a lot tired.
When I got up in the morning, some people complained about the environment of the Chase Shop.
"Ah, my back hurts......"
"Me too. I'm not used to sleeping like this. β
"I want a soft bed!"
A few men yelled.
When it comes to breakfast, many people don't know what to eat.
I felt a fishy smell from Honda's consciousness.
I looked down and smelled it, and the earthy smell seemed to be absent, and I couldn't find the source.
I turned my head and looked at the hotel.
There is no yin, no ghosts.
I don't know if my nerves are becoming too tense, or if Honda is feeling unwell and has a taste problem.
Today's shooting started a little late. The director and screenwriter discussed and changed the original script. The scene was rearranged, and a few small details made the director unsatisfied.
"No, no, that's not how it feels." The director shook his head again and again.
The room for the character of Mrs. Shimada was arranged, and the director always felt that it was not eerie enough.
"That's an exaggeration." The director shook his head again, "I always feel that something is not right." β
A bunch of people are struggling with their brains.
Someone yawned and muttered quietly, disgusted with the director's trouble.
"It's just a live-action movie, and it's all original plots, why are you so troublesome?" The person standing with Honda complained.
I really want to echo this man's words. If you want to get an indoor scene and shoot it in the studio, it won't be so much trouble.
Honda didn't answer, as if he hadn't listened to the man's complaints. But if he hadn't listened, I wouldn't have understood the man.
"Ah, cat." The man said suddenly, pointing outside the room.
There was a snow-white cat in the hallway, who had come in from nowhere, and looked at everyone in the room with green eyes.
My heart jumped.
When the cat approached, I didn't notice it at all.
It is not a ghost, and there is no yin energy on it.
"Is it Shimada's cat? It looks like a pet. β
The crowd was talking.
The director's attention was also drawn.
The cat sat quietly on the ground, looking at everyone with round eyes, its long fluffy hair wrapped around its body, and its ears pointed straight up, and its posture looked noble and elegant.
Someone stepped forward and tried to tease it.
The cat stood up, flicked its tail, turned and ran away.
"Huh-" Many people let out an exclamation in unison.
Secretly surprised, I floated out and chased the cat's back.
The cat looked snow-white on the front, but the fur on the back was black.
It reminds me of the cat that Honda saw that day.
It looks like it's the same one.
But......
"Oops."
As soon as the cat ran around the corner of the hallway, a woman's bark came from around the corner.
After a while, the granddaughter-in-law of the Shimada family came over.
Everyone looked at each other and greeted each other.
The granddaughter-in-law of the Shimada family asked, "Is that the cat brought by the crew?" β
"Isn't it your family?"
"No, it's not. Grandmother didn't like cats, and we had a dog at home, so we didn't bring it. β
The more I felt that there was something wrong with that cat.
"Add a cat! A strange-looking cat! Black cat! The director clapped his hands and said suddenly.
"Director, where are we going to find a black cat?" The leader of the props team complained.
The screenwriter interjected: "The previous plot didn't have this." β
"Then put some cat decorations in the room, taxidermy, taxidermy. Get some more. Well, it was Mrs. Shimada who made a taxidermy of a cat that had died before. Here's one. One specimen, the other is a portrait. Can you add it to the plot? There is no need to change the previous few scenes. The director gushed endlessly, as if he was suddenly inspired.
The granddaughter-in-law of the Shimada family stood for a while before asking someone about the next shooting arrangements. Her son was young and couldn't sit still, and he had been in the mountains for a few days, clamoring to go out to play.
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry for your trouble. β
The field manager came out and negotiated with the Shimada family.
"Grandmother and father stayed at the hostel. If you need anything, you can tell them directly. The things about the hotel, grandmother knows best. Actually, we don't really understand it. β
The two sides said yes, and the granddaughter-in-law of the Shimada family left.
In the morning, the director and the props team finally got the room in place, and filming officially started in the afternoon.
In the evening, a group of people moved to the suite to film part of the plot of Nantian.
Honda originally planned to go and see the excitement as usual. As several people passed by the entrance of the hotel, they heard the sound of cars.
The Shimada family, who had been out during the day, returned.
The granddaughter-in-law of the Shimada family held the child in her arms, and her husband parked the car and picked up the child. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law held hands and entered the hotel together.
The little one woke up as he entered the door, squinted sleepily and changed positions.
"I'm sorry to come back so late."
"Still shooting?"
"There's another scene in the evening."
The couple changed into slippers for each room, and the child passed in their hands. The man is holding the child, and the woman is changing the child's shoes.
"Cats!" The child suddenly pointed ahead.
The crowd turned their heads.
The cat I had seen during the day was squatting in the hallway.
"Meowβ" it added, stretching its body.
The child jumped to the ground with a thud, still wearing sneakers, and ran after the cat.
"Big tree!" His mother screamed and tried to chase after him, but he tripped over the slipper.
"Hey, is it a cat raised by the crew?" The man didn't react yet.
"No, it seems to be...... Wildcat. I don't know where it came from. β
"It's better to catch it early."
The cat turned and stabbed and scurried out.
The child kept chasing.
"Don't get hurt."
"Let's catch up first."
In the midst of the gossip, Honda also ran after the child with everyone.
