Chasing Tides

There is no city hustle and bustle in the mountains in May.

This mountain range in the Midwest has not yet been developed as a tourist destination, and it has completely preserved the ancient and simple natural scenery. I was awakened by birds and birds in the morning, and fell asleep with the sound of insects at night. I opened the window and looked out into the lush greenery. In my spare time, I was able to get close to the mountain springs, which was really refreshing.

This environment did not make Ning Lan feel relaxed.

As soon as he went out for the first time, he played a role of a young warrior. Horse archery was completely new to him. It took a lot of effort to reluctantly learn it. He stumbled when shooting, and was incapable of strength.

Secondly, the closer the land is to his hometown and the farther away from the capital, the more he is disturbed. The so-called "near nostalgia" in other populations is completely inaccessible to him. He originally thought that he was farther away, so he did n’t have to be with him. As people are facing each other day and night, the heavy feelings that weigh on their hearts will fade or even disappear. After half a month, I didn't know that this wasn't a "worry". I figured it out and left it behind. The word "love" was also a taste for the first time, and it was as difficult as the songs sang.

He wanted Sui Yang.

Thinking of his warm hands, thinking of his arms warming like a stove, thinking of the occasional smile on his lips, and the deep voice that leaned against his ears.

Therefore, he should not accept his goodness, let alone rely on him. At least I could find all kinds of excuses to contact him. Now he hates himself very much, and he is deliberately restraining his behavior, but the less he can't touch it, the more he will think of him unexpectedly. When he drinks water, he eats. When, when sleeping, when watching the scenery, anytime.

He even regretted that he didn't ask for joy again before leaving, maybe it was the last time?

Ning Lan shook her head lightly, and tried to throw away the negative and negative content in her head.

He thought as optimistically as possible, how could the poison be so easily removed from the body, long enough, the wound was deep enough, and the toxicity would diminish.

Thinking of this, Ning Lan laughed again and again, such a blow did not allow him to completely disarm and surrender, presumably can only look forward to the polishing and weathering of time.

The day ended early, and after dinner, the sky was still covered with soft warm glow.

The filming site of "Cover River" is remote, there are no hotels nearby, and the residence is a few rows of private houses rented by the crew. The room was in short supply, and Ning Lan squeezed into a room with two other actors. The two loved to play and lively. After work, they recruited several people to squat in the room to play cards. At first, they called Ning Lan together. Ning Lan pushed several times. When they did not exist, they turned the room into a chess and card room, often making a fuss.

Therefore, Ning Lan didn't sleep well for a few days. He blamed the energy on these energetic gamblers. He was already tired of filming during the day and still couldn't get rest at night, which made him physically and mentally exhausted.

Yesterday, assistant Mi Jie went down the mountain and bought him medicines for soothing sleep. He took the medicine and slept only in the middle of the night. He woke up for no reason when it was not dawn, and only the snoring sound of his roommate and the rustle outside Wind.

He passed on half of the cause to the recent days of enthusiasm and impatience. In short, it has nothing to do with other people.

At this time, five or six people gathered in the house to play cards, and Ning Lan listened to Mi Jiezhi's move to hang out to consume extra energy in order to sleep well at night.

In fact, what extra energy does he have? It is necessary to play up the mental shooting during the day and cope with the crew, because it is not easy to be afraid of others seeing the clue and being passionate about the pretending.

Disguise is extremely tiring, and even more tiring is that he will continue to disguise.

Ning Lan heard footsteps approaching, looked up, and saw Ji Zhinan also in the corridor, walking opposite him. Ning Lan did not evade and ran straight against him. The two shoulders bumped into each other's eyes, their eyes suddenly intersected.

Privately, Ning Lan can finally drop the mask, and look at Ji Zhinan, who is thinking about his mind and being stunned, and try to make himself look humble and not fall.

No one is around, such a good opportunity should have been used to apologize to Ji Zhinan. Ning Lan hadn't spoken yet, Ji Zhinan looked at him coldly, and probably didn't think he would say anything nice, and leaned over to go straight past him.

"Hey." Ning Lan's ghost stopped him badly, but what he said had nothing to do with an apology. "Are you afraid of me?"

Ji Zhinan stopped, but did not look back: "Who is afraid of whom? I think you know."

Ning Lan took this statement as a provocation, and she was restless all night, and the tranquilizer did not play any role.

Just like a bad-tempered puppy sees a bigger dog stronger than itself, it always barks loudly on its neck. In fact, it is afraid and guilty, and can only use this method to conceal its nervousness.

Even knowing that Ji Zhinan had no interest in Sui Yang, Ning Lan still regarded him as an imaginary enemy. The incompetent person likes to shirk responsibility the most. He can't blame Sui Yang. He has no long objects and no confidence. So he ca n’t blame the roommate for the strange weather.

The next day the studio signal was good. He posted Weizhi Nan on Weibo and reposted the Weibo he had when he first arrived at the shooting point. Ning Lan couldn't remember his intention at that time, probably for provocation, and he wanted to tear Ji Zhinan off. The pure hypocrisy mask, looking forward to his counterattack, to confirm some of his own conjectures.

The villain is a pie.

Ning Lan suddenly felt that he was the dog. Not only was he cheap, but he was also fighting against his master, poking at the bottom line of others time and time again, until he jumped back to fight back, he slipped with his tail, and the atmosphere did not dare to come out.

The days of the crew can't be said to be like years, but it always gives the illusion that time is lengthened and slowed down.

In late May, the rainy season arrived as expected, and the mountains were raining continuously. The crew of the crew had nothing to do under the mobile base station to set up an awning and play cards in the cell phone. Ning Lan didn't go to make the fun. Assistant Mi Jie was jealous. Watching him, he waved and let her play.

Ning Lan sat in the rest area and watched the continuous rain. After watching it for several days, it didn't look enough.

Rain always reminds him of many things, motorcycles that rushed to him from the side of the road, the college entrance exam that failed six years ago, a damp and moldy basement, a magnificent hotel, and he was carrying hundreds of dollars to prepare to run. At that time, the tall figure appeared before him.

In retrospect, nothing is good.

Recently, when his brain was empty, he often made some unrealistic assumptions-if he didn't go out that day, if he gave up the road that day, if he ran fast enough that day ... would he be in a different situation now?

He closed his eyes, and the rain in front of him turned into a straight line. One end of the line was a hand and the other was tied to a person. The hand tried to pull the person back to the safety zone, but the person was desperate. Run in the opposite direction, facing the wind and rain, without fear.

Ning Lan raised her hand to cover her eyes and let herself sink into darkness.

It's useless.

People say "looking old at three", it took him more than twenty years to see himself clearly. Paranoia and stupidity, it is not a big problem to have any of them, both are enough to be fatal.

When the rain closed and the weather turned fine, Ning Lan received a message from Sui Yang.

Sui Yan used to be concise and absent-minded. He said that there was no snack and no concern. He said that there was a snack advertisement at the end of June. Three members of AOW were asked to shoot and asked if Ning Lan was interested.

Ning Lan understood it after reading it. The man in the factory must not have chosen himself, otherwise Zhang Fan or An Lin should have contacted him, and now Sui Yue came to contact, representing that he intended to give this opportunity to himself.

Ning Lan was very short of money, but this opportunity didn't make much sense. He owed him the same, so he declined it politely.

Today I'm shooting an archery circus. Ning Lan arrived early and moved to the shooting site at the foot of the mountain to help the staff do some preliminary preparations. After a while, his good brothers Ji Zhinan and Guo Hao came together.

Ning Lan waved to them: "Brother and brother, today I won't let you guys!"

Guo Hao had a bold personality and immediately joked with him, while Ji Zhinan walked away without squinting, changed clothes and put on makeup in the temporary tent that was set up behind him.

Ning Lan smiled, thinking that this teacher Ji was indeed younger than herself, most of the time she still couldn't hide her face.

Of course, only those who are unconditionally protected dare to show their true dispositions like this. He is a vulgar man, and Lizi is gone. His face is still required. At least one cannot tell him that he is not in harmony with Ji Zhinan, let alone Ji Zhinan see how envious he is.

Today, the crew did not know which party was too old, and the filming was not smooth. Everyone's bow was broken almost once. The horses were also restless on the edge, and hoisted around with their hoofs. If it weren't for the ropes, it would seem that they would have to rush to the north with the flocks of birds in the sky.

All cast members suspended their work and looked up. Ning Lan also felt weird. The sky was clear in the morning, but it was gloomy at this time, and the clouds were layering on this side. Not long after, a few muffled thunders rang out in the sky, and a few horses were hoared and hissed and hoared.

The torrential rain came, and the crew was busy scrambling up and down to pack up props and equipment. Ning Lan returned to the plastic canopy with other actors. The area inside was limited. Everyone was busy removing makeup and changing clothes to accommodate so many people at once. It's really crowded.

Ning Lan first took off her outer gown and opened it as a barrier, allowing the two actresses to change clothes under the cover. When it was his turn, when he took off his hood, he heard the plastic film of the canopy being blown by the strong wind outside. Crackling.

Immediately after that, there was another thunderous thunder, accompanied by a lightning that cut through the sky, and Ning Lan's eyelids jumped suddenly, finally realizing something.

"An earthquake, everyone is out!"

He heard someone shouting.

At this time, no one believed this, and no one knew that he would die the next second before the accident.

Ning Lan's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. He didn't help shouting, but just urged some familiar girls to rush out, because the place was small and he couldn't show it.

Several girls joked about him before leaving, saying, "I'm sorry to change clothes in front of people. Can you speak up."

Ning Lan didn't want them to be scared, smiled, and showed no unease. As soon as he was sent away, he felt the ups and downs of his feet.

It really was an earthquake.

Ning Lan's family is in the central mountainous area, near the earthquake zone. It is a bit of experience to deal with this situation. He pushed the jacket and pushed around people who had not sensed the danger in the grind, and brought them to the door. It was more severe than before Shaking came.

Eventually someone noticed that the situation was serious and asked in horror, "What's wrong? How is the ground moving?"

"It's okay, a small earthquake, there are often earthquakes in the mountains, just go to the open space for a while." Ning Lan still calmed down, urging them to go forward.

In fact, he had no idea. If it was a small earthquake, it would be okay to hide from it. If it was a large earthquake, it might cause mountain collapse and mudslides. In the face of natural disasters, human beings are always weak.

The rainstorm outside is like a note, and the strong wind is shouting like a torn earth. Ning Lan took off the coat she had just put on, and prepared to protect Mi Jie from the rain. Before that, she reached in and touched it. He took off the stuff in his pocket and sank in his heart. He threw his jacket to Mi Jie and turned into the shed.

There was no one inside. As soon as I entered, there was a continuous shaking of the mountains, accompanied by the sound of ping pong landing on various objects, mixed with the booming sound from the outside, and Ning Lan squatted on the open space to barely stabilize. balance.

The tables and chairs in the canopy have fallen down by more than half, and after a few seconds of slowing, Ning Lan stood up and ran towards the southwest corner of the canopy. He put on makeup today, and things probably fell there.

The temporary make-up table fell to the ground obliquely. It was too dark and could not see anything. Ning Lan knelt down on the ground and groped everywhere. He had no time to take care of any sharp things. He only knew that time was not waiting for him, and he had to do it as soon as possible Find it and go out as soon as possible.

I was so anxious that I felt like I had a cell phone after a few laps. He pulled it out and illuminated the screen. At a glance, he saw the reflective material inside the dressing table standing next to him. He crawled forward, lowered his head to reach enough, and caught the cold beads, as if relieved. The ground raised his mouth.

He squeezed the hand string tightly, holding his arms to get up. At this moment, the ground shook again, and the only standing dressing table could not stand the test of five times and three times. He crashed to the ground, Ning Lan escaped, and his left leg was severed. Squeeze it tightly, the piercing pain made him scream, but there was no one around, and the only response was the noise of noisy storms.

He gritted his teeth a few times and failed to pull out his crushed leg. In order to maintain stability on uneven ground, the crew's dressing tables were all solid wood and marble countertops, and both of them struggled to move. Besides, he couldn't exert force on one leg, and the whole person was still pressed down.

Ning Lan held the string in his left hand and stretched his right hand to pick up the mobile phone that he had thrown out half a meter away. He was impressed with the pain, the fracture was not terrible, and the bone fracture was not terrible. If the tissue is pressed to necrosis, it is unknown if he can stand up.

He was panting like a cow, sweating like rain, and seemed to be hurting painfully, his face was bloodless, and his blue tendons were bursting out because he was struggling hard. He was still crawling forward with his free leg on his makeup. The table sent the body forward, and the left leg became black under the pressure, and finally touched the mobile phone.

He was actually very scared, terribly scared. No one thought of Sui Yang more than this moment, and he cried.

I didn't notice when I lit the screen just now, and now I see a message on it.

Sui Yan: [anything you want]

Ning Lan's eyes widened in the darkness, staring at the words for a moment, then took a long breath, and collapsed to the ground like a crossbow.

Maybe because of lack of oxygen, his brain began to chaos like those nights when he couldn't sleep, and different time and space are intertwined again and again. He can't even figure out where he is now and what he is doing.

up to you.

Wherever I am, whether I am alive or dead, has nothing to do with him.

Ning Lan slowly buried his head in the arm, and the other palm spread out weakly. As the temperature that finally managed to cover the bead disappeared, he bit his arm and did not make himself sobb.
