Chapter 695 Send someone to pick you up
"It seems that this is the only way for now." Lin Ke looked at the situation in front of him and sighed helplessly.

"This is the only way." Wang Xinxin was also a little discouraged.

The heavy rain that had been going on for several days finally stopped. The morning sun shone through the clouds, onto the wet mountain road, reflecting a crystal clear light.

The air is filled with the scent of earth and grass, and the occasional clear chirping of birds adds a bit of vitality to this quiet mountain village.

Lin Ke got up early, walked outside, took a deep breath, and felt the fresh air after the rain.

Looking at the emerald green mountains washed by rain in front of him, he felt much better.

In the past few days, he and Wang Xinxin have been living in Uncle Lin's house. Although Uncle Lin's family takes good care of them, their living conditions are limited after all. In addition, there is no signal on their cell phones, so they cannot contact the outside world, which makes Lin Ke very anxious.

He must find a way to leave here as soon as possible, return to the crew, and return to his own life.

Lin Ke returned to the house and saw Wang Xinxin helping Uncle Lin's wife clean up the dishes. He walked over and said softly, "Xinxin, I'm going to go out for a while and will be back soon."

Wang Xinxin raised her head, looked at Lin Ke, and asked with concern: "Where are you going? It just rained outside, the road is slippery, please be careful."

"It's okay. I'll go to the village chief's house and see if I can borrow a phone to let Director Li know I'm safe." Lin Ke explained.

"That's fine. It's been several days now, and the crew must be very worried." Wang Xinxin nodded to show her understanding.

"Then I'll leave first. You just rest well at home and call me if you need anything." Lin Ke said, turned around and walked out of the room.

Lin Ke walked along the muddy village road, asking for directions along the way and finally arrived at the village chief's house.

The village chief’s house is a two-story building, which is considered to be a relatively imposing building in the village.

Lin Ke walked to the gate of the courtyard and knocked gently.

"Who is it?" An old voice came from inside the house.

"Village chief, it's me, Lin Ke." Lin Ke replied.

"Oh, it's Lin Ke, come in." The village chief's voice sounded a little hoarse, but still full of energy.

Lin Ke pushed open the gate and walked into the yard, where he saw an elderly man in his sixties sitting on a bamboo chair in the yard basking in the sun.

The old man has gray hair and his face is covered with wrinkles, but he is in good spirits and has a pair of bright eyes.

"Hello, village chief." Lin Ke walked up to the old man and greeted him politely.

"Well, sit down." The village chief pointed to a bamboo chair beside him and motioned Lin Ke to sit down.

Lin Ke thanked him and sat down on the bamboo chair next to the village chief.

"Lin Ke, what's the matter with you coming to see me?" The village chief looked at Lin Ke and asked kindly.

"It's like this, village chief. Xinxin and I were filming in the mountains a few days ago and we accidentally fell into the river. Our cell phones were broken, and we couldn't get in touch with the outside world." Lin Ke explained his purpose to the village chief.

"Oh? There is such a thing?" After listening to Lin Ke's story, the village chief frowned slightly.

"Yes, we have lived in the village for several days. The crew must be very worried about us, so I would like to ask you if there is a phone in the village. I want to call the crew to let them know I am safe." Lin Ke said.

"We do have a telephone, but the signal is not very good. Sometimes we can get through, and sometimes we can't," said the village chief.

"It doesn't matter, as long as the call can be connected. Thank you for your help, village chief." When Lin Ke heard that there was a phone call in the village, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said quickly.

"Okay, come with me." The village chief said, stood up and led Lin Ke into the house.

The village chief's living room was furnished with a set of old-fashioned wooden furniture and a portrait of Chairman Mao hung on the wall, giving it a sense of age. The village chief walked to a corner of the living room, pointed at an old-fashioned telephone, and said to Lin Ke, "Here, this is the phone."

"Thank you, village chief." Lin Ke walked to the phone, picked up the receiver, and started calling Director Li.

"Beep...beep...beep..." There was a series of busy tones in the telephone receiver, and Lin Ke's heart began to lift.

No way, can’t even the village chief’s phone be reached?
Just when Lin Ke was about to give up, a familiar voice suddenly came from the other end of the phone: "Hello, who is this?"

"Director Li, it's me, Lin Ke!" Lin Ke almost shouted out loud with excitement.

There was silence on the other end of the line for a few seconds, and then Director Li's voice came in disbelief: "Lin Ke? Is it really you? Are you still alive?"

"Director Li, I'm still alive. Xinxin and I are fine." Lin Ke said quickly.

"That's great, that's great, I'm glad you're okay. Do you know that we have been going crazy these days!" Director Li's voice was filled with excitement and joy.

"Director Li, I'm sorry to have worried you. We..." Lin Ke was about to explain but was interrupted by Director Li.

"Let's stop talking for now. Where are you now? I'll send someone to pick you up right away." Director Li asked anxiously.

"We are..." Lin Ke paused, and he suddenly remembered that he didn't know the specific address of Linjia Village.

"What's wrong? Where are you? Speak!" Director Li was startled when he saw Lin Ke suddenly stopped talking, and asked quickly.

"Director Li, I don't know where we are now. We are in a place called Linjia Village. There is no cell phone signal here. We..." Lin Ke said somewhat embarrassedly.

"Linjia Village? Which Linjia Village? Give the phone to the village chief and I'll talk to him." Director Li was a little amused when he heard that Lin Ke didn't even know where he was.

"Okay, Director Li, please wait a moment." Lin Ke said, handing the phone to the village chief.

"Hello, I am the village chief of Linjia Village. May I ask who you are?" The village chief took the phone and asked politely.

"Hello, village chief. I'm Li Ming, Lin Ke's director. Our crew is looking for him. Is he with you now?" Director Li introduced himself and asked straight to the point.

"Oh, it's Director Li. Lin Ke and Miss Wang Xinxin are indeed in our village." The village chief explained quickly.

"So that's how it is. Thank you so much for troubling you, Village Chief. Could you please tell me the specific address of Linjia Village? I will send someone to pick them up immediately." Director Li said.

"Okay, Director Li, please remember this. Our Linjia Village..." The village chief described the geographical location of Linjia Village to Director Li in detail.

Director Li listened carefully and took notes on paper.

"Okay, village chief, I've got that. Thank you so much. I'll send someone to pick them up right away." Director Li expressed his gratitude to the village chief again.

"Director Li, you are so polite. This is what we should do," said the village chief.

"That's it, Village Chief, goodbye." Director Li said and hung up the phone.

"Director Li, how is it? When will they come to pick us up?" Lin Ke asked hurriedly when he saw Director Li hung up the phone.

"I have already made it clear to Director Li, and they will send someone to pick us up soon." The village chief said with a smile.

"That's great. Thank you so much, Village Chief." Lin Ke said excitedly.

"No need to thank me, no need to thank me. This is what we should do." The village chief waved his hand and said.
