Chapter 675 Such an accident happened

"Uncle Lin, haven't you rested yet?" Lin Ke walked forward and asked softly.

Uncle Lin looked up and saw that it was Lin Ke. A kind smile appeared on his face: "It's you, young man. Is Xinxin asleep?"

"Yeah, he fell asleep." Lin Ke nodded and sat down on the stone bench next to Uncle Lin.

"Don't worry, young man. Xinxin's injuries look scary, but they are only superficial. They will heal in a few days." Uncle Lin exhaled a puff of smoke and comforted.

"Thank you, Uncle Lin. Thank you for your trouble." Lin Ke said gratefully.

"It's all right, no matter how much trouble it is." Uncle Lin waved his hand. "But why did you come to this deep mountain forest? And such an accident happened?"

Lin Ke smiled bitterly and briefly told Uncle Lin what had happened.

"Alas, the young people nowadays really work hard to make a movie." Uncle Lin couldn't help but sigh after hearing this.

"Yeah, but there's nothing we can do about it. This is how we make a living." Lin Ke smiled helplessly.

"Young man, I don't think you come from an ordinary family. How come you are doing this business?" Uncle Lin asked curiously.

Lin Ke was silent for a moment before he slowly said, "Actually, I've had a dream of becoming a star since I was a kid. I wanted to stand on the stage and let everyone see me."

"Haha, it's a good thing for young people to have dreams, but they must also act within their capabilities and not push themselves too hard." Uncle Lin said earnestly.

"I know, thank you Uncle Lin." Lin Ke nodded, a complicated look flashing in his eyes.

"By the way, Uncle Lin, I haven't asked yet, what is the name of our village?" Lin Ke asked, changing the subject.

"Our place is called Neon Village," said Uncle Lin.

"Neon Village?" Lin Ke repeated. He seemed to have heard this name somewhere before, but he couldn't remember it for a moment.

"Yes, Neon Village. Although it has a nice name, it is a poor and remote place and not many people know about it." Uncle Lin sighed, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.

"How could that be? I think it's pretty good here, with beautiful scenery and fresh air. It's much more comfortable than the city." Lin Ke said.

"Haha, you're just looking for something new. You'll know after living here for a few days. Transportation here is inconvenient, and information is blocked. Young people don't want to stay here and have all fled to the city. Only old guys like us are left." Uncle Lin said.

"Then Uncle Lin, why don't you move to the city?" Lin Ke asked.

"I'm old, and it's hard to leave my hometown. Besides, my old bones can't stand the tossing and turning." Uncle Lin shook his head and said.

Lin Ke nodded to show his understanding. He knew that for many elderly people, their hometown is their root and they cannot give it up no matter where they go.

"By the way, Uncle Lin, do you know how far we are from the city now?" Lin Ke asked.

"It must be at least two or three hundred kilometers. The mountain road is rugged and it takes several hours to drive." Uncle Lin said.

"So far?" Lin Ke was a little surprised. It seemed that it would be impossible to return to the city as soon as possible. "Yes, so it was not easy for you to come here to film this time." Uncle Lin said.

"Yes, but it's a good thing you took us in, otherwise we really don't know what to do." Lin Ke said gratefully.

"What are you talking about? It's our duty. It's our honor that you can come to our remote place." Uncle Lin said with a smile.

Lin Ke smiled but didn't say anything. He knew that Uncle Lin was a kind-hearted man. It was a blessing in disguise for him and Wang Xinxin to meet him this time.

"By the way, Uncle Lin, do you know where the accident happened?" Lin Ke asked.

"It's in the river south of the village. The water is fast-flowing there and several drowning incidents occur there every year. You'd better be careful in the future and don't go near there again," said Uncle Lin.

"Thank you Uncle Lin, we got it." Lin Ke nodded, but secretly memorized this place in his heart.

"Uncle Lin, you said that this village has a lack of information. How do the villagers usually contact the outside world?" Lin Ke asked casually, but secretly memorized the information point "the river in the south of the village" in his heart.

Uncle Lin took a deep puff of his pipe, slowly exhaled a cloud of smoke, shook his head and said, "What else can we do? Just shout! If you shout at the east end of the village, people in the west can hear you. Otherwise, we can only walk to the next village to find someone to deliver a message."

Lin Ke raised his eyebrows in surprise: "If it's really urgent, wouldn't it be very troublesome?"

Uncle Lin smiled helplessly: "That's right, so we are lagging behind and can't keep up with the times!"

Lin Ke rolled his eyes and asked casually, "Is there no telephone or anything in the village?"

Uncle Lin was stunned for a moment, as if he was trying hard to recall something. After a while, he slapped his thigh and said, "Oh, look at my memory! There really is one! The old Meng family in the east of the village, his son came back from the city two years ago, and there is one, who said it would be convenient to contact."

Lin Ke was delighted. It was like "after many twists and turns, you may think you have no way out, but when you turn around, you will find another village!" He quickly asked, "What's the name of this old Meng? Where does he live? Is it far from here?"

Uncle Lin saw Lin Ke was so anxious and said with a smile: "You kid, you asked so clearly, you want to make a phone call, right? No wonder, young people like you are like souls lost without the phone for a day."

Lin Ke scratched his head sheepishly and said with a smile, "I'm worried about Xinxin's injury. I want to contact the crew as soon as possible so that they can rest assured."

Uncle Lin nodded, showing his understanding: "Yes, that old Meng is called Meng Daqiang, and his son is called Meng Ming. They live under the big locust tree at the east end of the village. It's not far from here, and it only takes about ten minutes to walk there."

When Lin Ke heard this, he immediately perked up and stood up to go out: "Then there's no time to lose, I'll go now!"

Uncle Lin saw this and hurriedly called him: "Hey, kid, why are you in such a hurry? It's dark now, the mountain road is hard to walk on, and you are unfamiliar with the place. What if you fall or get hurt?"

Lin Ke then realized that he was a little impatient. He looked at Uncle Lin gratefully and said, "Uncle Lin is very considerate. I was too impatient."

Uncle Lin smiled and waved his hands: "Why are you being so polite to me, kid? How about this, wait for me to get my raincoat, and I'll take you to find Lao Meng. I'm an old man with nothing to do anyway."

Lin Ke wanted to say that he didn't need to trouble Uncle Lin, but then he changed his mind and realized that he was not familiar with the road conditions in the village and it would be even more troublesome if he got lost, so he nodded and agreed: "Then I'll trouble Uncle Lin!"
