My 1978 Hotel

Chapter 26 is a large-scale performance - Is the Truman Show a true time travel?
"Shut up."

Li Muchen glanced coldly at the shouting Gao through the speckled starlight and scolded him in an impatient and cold voice.

"Hey, pretty boy, who gave you face?"

Gao Ju was already unhappy, but he was a little apprehensive about Li Feng, the mysterious part-time tour guide who was the boss of the travel agency. However, he didn't take a kid in his early twenties seriously.

"Cough cough cough."

"Don't want to sleep, do you?"

After saying that, Li Feng opened the door and pointed outside. "You can leave anytime, but I wasn't kidding just now. Whether you can come back after you go out is another matter."

"Second brother, why don't we wait until dawn to talk about it."

Although Gao Cheng is the eldest brother, he is actually quite timid and listens to Gao Jue in many things. It is dark now, and who knows if we are in the deep mountains and forests. It is not a good idea to go out at this time. Let's hold on for a while and make other plans after figuring out the situation in the morning.

Gao Ju shook off Gao Cheng's hand and said sternly, "Boss Li, if you don't give each of us brothers an explanation tomorrow, don't blame me for being rude."

"Okay, okay, go to bed."

Really, you are delaying work tomorrow, how can you make money for me? I have no money and ask you to carry things without food. Li Feng didn't feel that the food he helped bring belonged to the Gao brothers.

Finally, the cabin became quiet and Li Feng fell asleep quickly.

Li Muchen opened his eyes and looked at the stars. He was moderately depressed and couldn't sleep much. The most important thing was that it was the first time since he was a child that he slept on the floor.

“Second brother…”

Gao Chengla asked quietly beside him, "Where are we?"

"Who knows?"

"I see it's pitch black all around. Could this be some old forest?"

Gao Cheng muttered quietly. "That's not right. How could he have run so far in just a split second?"

"I'm afraid he was drugged?"

The two brothers were actually a little panicked. Normally, there were black spots on tour groups, but they didn't dare to be so blatant, especially now that they didn't have any equipment with them. If something really went wrong, they would have no evidence. What should they do?

Li Muchen listened to the two brothers whispering, and was actually very confused. It was really just a moment just now, but when he opened his eyes again, the place had changed. It was really strange. Could it be that they really had some medicine? The medicine was too strong.

"Ding ding ding."

A bell rang and Li Feng got up subconsciously. In Hanjiaba, except for the team leader and the accountant who had alarm clocks, other families did not have clocks.

Han Fuguo made a rule that the bell should be rung at 5:30 in the summer and at 6:00 in the winter.

Well, it's half past five, time to get up. Daya and Erya got up and saw several strangers lying in the house. They were a little scared and hid next to Li Feng. "Dad."

"It's okay, these are Dad's cousins."

"Just call me uncle."

Li Feng now accepted the two girls calling him "Dad." Since he was living in someone else's house and had settled in Hanjiaba, he could just accept the two girls as his goddaughters. "Uncle?"

"Well, let's go cook."

"Steam more steamed buns."

"Don't sift."

Cornmeal is great, it's a natural, green, and healthy grain that lives up to the hype. "Hey, get up, hurry up and get ready, eat, and get to work."

"Depend on."

Gao Jue really wants to hit someone. He was busy with it very late last night and went to bed very late. He is very sleepy now. This is a damn trip.

"hurry up."

Li Feng was not polite to them. Yesterday, he systematically analyzed the situations of Gao Cheng and Gao Ju. It turned out that these two guys wanted to cheat him of his money. Aren’t they his mortal enemies?

"Brother is up."

Li Feng was quite gentle towards Li Muchen, after all, this was a real tourist.

Li Muchen opened his eyes and looked around the room. It was too dark yesterday, with only a few scattered stars, but now he could see clearly.

This was a kind of house he had never seen before, made of mottled adobe, windows supported by wooden sticks, traces of black smoke from oil lamps, and wooden beams.

"Brother, get up quickly."

Gao Ju stood up and took a look around. He felt a little frightened. This adobe and thatched house seemed to have been inhabited for a long time. This was not right. How could someone have lived in this place for a long time?

He and Gao Cheng discussed it in the middle of the night and felt that they must have been taken to a place similar to a film and television base by Li Feng and his group.

"what happened?"

Gao Cheng rubbed his eyes and looked around, half asleep. "Is it daybreak?"

It was getting light outside, and the light inside the house was not very good. Gao Cheng glanced around in confusion. "Is this really an adobe house?"

"Go out and take a look first."

Gao Jue pulled his brother, and the two brothers stood up and walked out of the hut to the yard. The adobe wall was a bit dilapidated, and some places had collapsed, with no architectural style at all. "Where is this?"

"I don't know."

Gao looked around and saw that there were almost identical adobe houses everywhere. He thought this place might really be a film and television base. However, he had lost his mobile phone and equipment, so he was not sure where it was exactly.

Li Muchen also came out and looked around. There was a noticeable change in his usually calm expression.

"How's it going? The air here is pretty good, isn't it?" Li Feng said, smiling as he walked over and pointed at the stream. "The water isn't polluted at all, and there are even a lot of small fish in it. It's just as advertised, right?"

Similarly, Gao wanted to say screw your publicity, if this is not considered fraud, then there would be no tour groups with false advertising in the whole country.

"The air is quite good."

Li Muchen said calmly, "I've been to many places, and the air quality here ranks among the top ten."

“The water quality is also very good.”

"Yeah, the little brother still has good vision."

As they were talking, Daya and Erya called out that it was time for dinner. Li Feng said with a smile, "Let's go, it's time to eat. Let me tell you, all the ingredients here are natural, pollution-free, and green. They're definitely good things you can't usually get."

Gao Cheng and Gao Ju were a little excited, not to mention that they were a little hungry after tossing and turning all night last night.

"Is this what you call natural, pollution-free, green food?"

Gao wanted to throw the ceramic bowl with several holes in it on Li Feng's shameless face. This was just a few wild vegetables boiled with water, a plain wild vegetable soup, and this black ball, with grass in it.

This is a joke! This is food for humans. My mom's pigs back home wouldn't eat this. Gao picked up a cornmeal steamed bun, knocked it against the bowl, and held it in front of Li Feng. "This shit can kill you! You told me you don't usually get to eat pollution-free, green food."

Don't you have a guilty conscience? How dare you say that? Gao Cheng simply refused to eat it. Who the hell would eat this garbage that even pigs wouldn't eat?

"Why, that's not right."

Li Feng smiled and took a steamed bun and took a bite. "It's okay, quite soft. Eat it while it's hot. I'm telling you, even though it looks ugly and tastes bad, and it's not very filling, it's pollution-free, green, and organic."

"Nima, are you kidding us?"

"You're just kidding me. I'm overthinking it."

Li Feng took a few bites and thought it was okay. He got used to it after eating it for a while.

"Try it, little brother. If you can't swallow it, just drink some soup to make it go down."

Li Muchen looked at Li Feng and felt the urge to punch this man in the face. This kind of food was the first time he had seen it, let alone eating it. Li Muchen, who had grown up in a wealthy family, was almost tired of all the delicacies from land and sea.

But now, facing the black steamed bread, he still felt that the delicacies from land and sea might be better. "I'm not very hungry."

"Then keep it for now."

If you skip one meal, you'll be hungry. If you skip two, you'll be anxious. You'll always have to eat. Li Feng has experienced this. When you're extremely hungry, the steamed cornbread tastes quite good. "Now that you're done eating, let's clean up and I'll take you to work."

"Go to work?"

Brothers Gao Cheng and Gao Ju wondered if this guy had some serious mental illness. They were here to travel, to travel.

"Going to work is an important part of our experience tour."

Li Feng said with a smile. "Travel in this era emphasizes self-reliance and having enough food and clothing. If you don't work, you might not even have enough steamed buns to eat."

This was a naked threat. The two brothers Gao Cheng and Gao Ju exchanged glances. "What if we say we don't want to go to work?"

"Not going to work is not a good idea."

Li Feng said with a smile. "Your experience is incomplete. If you don't go back to work, you won't be able to connect with the next part. You won't have lunch or dinner. It's okay for one or two meals, but how can you bear it for a long time?"

"Nima, we paid the money."

Gao Cheng couldn't help it, so he sneered at Li Feng. "Don't think we'll be scared just because you say a few words. We live in a society ruled by law now. I don't believe you dare."

"What about you, little brother?"

Li Muchen was struggling over whether to try the steamed buns, and nodded subconsciously when he heard Li Feng's words.

"Okay, then follow me, little brother."

"Remember to call me cousin later."

"Yes, cousin."

Li Muchen was very willing to accept advice. This small mountain village was strange. He had been to many places, and this kind of pure adobe mountain village was extremely rare. Many of them were uninhabited. Just now, he looked around and it seemed that people had lived here for a long time, which surprised him.

After breakfast, Li Feng stuffed the manuscript into his pocket. He had originally planned to spend the day there, but now that he had brought these three people with him, he couldn't just keep them indoors. "I have to bring them over anyway. Are you sure the system won't leak it?"

Li Muchen's problem is not serious, but the brothers Gao Cheng and Gao Ju are different. If they start to make a fuss, it will be a big deal. Being mentally ill is still a mild case. If they become spies, they will also be in trouble.

The information cannot be disclosed. I don’t know how the system does it. It may be related to the confidentiality contract. I will find time to look at the content of the contract later.

"Let's go."

Li Muchen followed Li Feng closely. Gao Cheng and Gao Jiu looked at each other and wanted to wait for Li Feng to leave to get some information from the two young girls.

But the two girls had also left, so the two had no choice but to follow Li Feng and the others secretly. They wanted to see what Li Feng was up to, but when they arrived at the mouth of the dam, they were dumbfounded.

“That’s quite a lot of actors.”

There were dozens of people whose clothes looked strange. They were dressed a bit like the others, except that their clothes had no patches, while the others had a lot of patches.

"Second brother, you say these are not all?"

"Actor, definitely an actor."

Gao felt that Li Feng was playing tricks, but he didn't expect there were so many actors who looked so convincing. "So what do we do now?"

"Let's take a look first."
