Red dust past

Chapter 6 The Mysterious Man

"Hello! I hope your journey is going well!" I held his hand and looked up at him. Maybe my expression betrayed my thoughts. He said, "I'm sorry! You must be scared." I hurriedly Say, "Oh, no! No! I just think you are exactly the same as the guy in that episode, except that you don't have a beard at all, and your chin is exposed, and you look younger and more handsome. Could it be that you have grown inversely?" ? Your fans will be so happy that they will faint." The handsome man lowered his head shyly, and just quietly took me to the living room to sit down. He made coffee first, and then sat on the sofa opposite me. Looking out of the floor-to-ceiling windows, with sadness in his eyes, he said slowly, "Actually, maybe the fans are the saddest! They don't know me before, but they love me like relatives." I replied, "You said That's right, I was sent by the family of a heartbroken and disillusioned fan. Do you know that because of your sudden departure, Ms. Zhuang Mingli first quit the family business, and then often went to the monastery to clean up, Recently, I have decided to become a monk. This is the purpose of her sister-in-law, my client entrusting me to come here. If I can find you as soon as possible, perhaps, if you persuade her, she will have some concern or nostalgia for the secular world, otherwise I'm afraid she will have to be with the ancient Buddha for the rest of her life." I exaggerated a little, and he was obviously shocked, "Ah! This is the last thing I want to see. I'm so sorry for her. But , you know my current situation, it’s inconvenient for me to leave the island, and I can’t go anywhere.” Then, he fell into deep thought again, without saying a word, his eyes were full of apology but powerless, as if he was very I want to express but I can't talk about it. There are too many secrets hidden in my heart, too deep, and it is too difficult to open up one after another.Perhaps, a little catalyst is needed, I suggested: "It's too cold, maybe a little wine will be better." Hassan opened the door and came in at this time, and he immediately answered, "Yes! I just came from the sea, I I want to drink some too." After that, he turned his back on the customers and started to walk to the wine cabinet, took out a bottle of red wine from the owner, poured it for the three of us, and handed it to me and the silent man opposite.Gao took a sip, as if to cheer himself up, looked at me, and said, "You ask?"

This is much simpler. First of all, I want to find out the most curious thing. I asked, "What identity do you live in seclusion here?" He said, "The former Gao Zhixiang has disappeared and is considered dead. I asked Hassan to help me get a new identity, and then opened the restaurant with him, and then I bought this house in Greece across the sea, got the local identity and became a Greek citizen, and There is a new name, Su Ke." "Okay! I'll call you Su Ke." It's not difficult for me to accept this name, because I personally think that the name is like a symbol, maybe, this Stage called him Su Ke, we can accept each other, and, among the men I know, he is the most like Su Ke.His face is very similar to the local people, and Hassan is more like a brother. I seem to understand why he chose to live in seclusion here.

Then, I asked curiously, "There is a question that I have been unable to figure out. At the beginning, after the accident, why didn't the partner and the company you signed with sent people to search for it locally? Just trust your film crew's own search ? Actually, it was done by the people you arranged, just for show."

A bitter smile emerged from the corner of Su Ke's mouth, and he said, "The partner is a big network platform. At that time, the agreement we signed was that it was only responsible for publicity and broadcasting, and we were responsible for the production, and the safety during production was all our own responsibility. Responsible, of course it doesn’t have to come looking for it. As for the company, they won’t come anymore. At the beginning, the company I established with the boss was just to allow myself to independently produce this program. The agreement reached with the boss: he used a decent investor The role appeared, and I operated completely independently. My condition was that the assistants sent to me by the original brokerage company were not used. In this project, the boss just waited to collect the money. In the first year, he earned a More than [-] million, "The Lost Ancient City" because of the accidental disappearance of the host, the name of the show fits the occasion. Although it is not finished, it is more popular than the complete one. I heard that the advertising revenue alone is several hundred million. My boss should He made a lot of money! Whether or not Gao Zhixiang is there is not a big concern for the boss. Besides, sending people to organize searches in foreign countries is a big investment for him. Even if he finds him, there may be Tianwen It is not worthwhile to pay various expenses such as digital medical expenses, and the disappearance and death may be relatively beneficial to him, so why should he spend so much time searching for it!" I felt the coldness of reality from his words.

At this time, Hassan said, "Suke, a girl came to see you." After saying that, she raised her eyebrows, "Don't mention it, she came to mess with Hassan and my brother." I showed a puzzled expression, and he quickly explained, "It's Subeta. A few months after the accident, my original boss, her cousin, didn't need special attention since I was no longer in the company. Because of the assistant, she cut more than half of her expenses. She had no money to spend. After finding out that my brother was coming to Turkey to deal with my remaining affairs, he quietly followed. It just so happened that Hassan accompanied me to the boat. She saw a profile and a back. Fortunately, I covered it tightly, only showing my two eyes. I was wearing a traditional local robe. At that time, she didn’t recognize it. Later, when she saw my brother shaking hands with me, She became suspicious. She made a big fuss with Hassan and my brother, and threatened to expose it. Hassan coaxed her to say that she was one of his relatives. Later, my brother sent her away after giving her a sum of money. .”

I also responded, "As far as we know, after her mother died, her uncle gave her very little money, but she was used to living a luxurious life and taking drugs. She became Jiang's lover, They also partnered to do tricks and extortion; the same thing she did to you back then. This time they wanted to catch a big fish, but they stumbled in the Bacas Bar in Hong Kong. They met the world The most stringent protection, of course, the end will be miserable." We chatted together and completely lost track of time, and the sky was already twilight, and Hassan said, "Now, I'm going to bed." After that, he looked after himself He walked to the second floor, obviously, he regarded this place as his home.Su Ke smiled and said, "You see, Hassan doesn't treat himself as an outsider at all! I hope you do too. This house is very convenient and has everything you need." Then, he took me to the guest room on the second floor, and thoughtfully The indoor facilities are introduced.Just right, I was sleepy too, and soon, I fell into a deep sleep.

I was awakened from my dream by a glare of sunlight. I fell into a very deep sleep. I couldn’t remember how long or where I was. I had to think immediately, “Meow~” Cat!There are cats!I opened my eyes in an instant, and a cat meow woke me up completely. I opened my eyes at once. It turned out that last night, I opened the window to breathe the fresh air by the sea, but I forgot to close it. A white window The cat came uninvited. It should have jumped from the rainproof shed on the first floor to a big tree outside the building, climbed up the tree, and then jumped to my window. The sun was shining on it. The soft white coat seemed to be glowing, and its eyeballs turned into a line, "Ah! It's already noon, do you think I slept too much, and you came to call me? Cat beauty!" I was happy I chatted and joked with the white cat standing by the window while getting up and getting dressed; it was not afraid of people at all, and continued to stand by the window looking at the scenery, and occasionally chatted with me, although I didn’t quite understand it , However, the mood is surprisingly good.I finished tidying up and opened the door. The white cat jumped off the window sill, passed through the house, ran out the door, and yelled while running. I followed it curiously and went downstairs. I saw its owner As soon as he entered the yard, the white cat meowed all the way, went up to meet him, and circled happily around his feet. It was very happy to see him back.

He greeted me with a smile and asked, "Did you sleep well? Xiaojiao didn't bother you?" I happily replied, "You mean this cat? Not at all, it came just in time , I was about to wake up, but when I couldn't move my body, it meowed, just right, and woke me up completely, it is really beautiful, is it your cat?" I asked knowingly, and he really chatted happily about his cat , "This is an Ankara cat that Hassan gave me. Once, when he went to the island to deliver something to me, he brought it here. At that time, it was a newly weaned kitten, Hassan said , 'I brought you a beautiful woman to accompany you, you will definitely like it', as a result, when I saw the air box in his hand, it meowed, and Hassan said, 'this kind of cat is not allowed to bring The one that goes abroad is the most precious animal in Turkey', you see, it has been raised for almost four years, and now it has become very lively and cute.” Then, he bent down, picked up the white cat, and held it in his arms. The white cat looked very petite and cute, coquettishly in the crook of his arms, he gently scratched the pink kitten's nose with his fingers, and then gently stroked the white cat from the bridge of the nose to the top of the head, it closed He closed his eyes, and there was a gurgling sound in his throat. He enjoyed the caress of the owner at this moment. When he stopped stroking it, the white cat immediately opened its jewel-like eyes and let out a dissatisfied "meow". I was amused by a cute and haunting cat. This was the first time I saw him smiling so happily, with a carefree smile. At the door of the living room, the cat jumped down and landed on all fours, and then lay on his side In front of him, he opened a pair of beautiful mandarin eyes and looked at him, and then turned over again, with his ears back, his eyes closed, and his feet stretched forward to complete a beautiful stretch. He smiled and said, "Look at it The eyes are so beautiful, one is blue and the other is bright yellow, like gemstones, and like a starry sky, as if you can see into your heart. A series of movements are elegant and stretched. The standard down dog pose should really be called down cat style, because I think the cat is the most beautiful!" "Yes!"

Only then did I notice that he was carrying a pannier slung across his shoulders. Seeing me looking at his pannier, he said, "Hassan has gone back to take care of business. I caught some fish, and I threw the small fish to the stray cats at the port. The fishermen here do this. Now, slowly, a group of cats gathered in the port. They waited for the fishermen to come back every day, bringing the small fish Share the fish with them. I brought back the big fish, there are three in total. Xiaojiao eats a small silver thread fish, you are a guest, eat the biggest grouper fish, and I will eat mackerel!" He said While processing the fish, he chatted with me, and then said, "Forget it! Let’s make mackerel into sashimi, and you can eat it too, let’s exchange information! Ah! Maybe Xiaojiao wants to eat our raw fish too. Fish fillets, let’s eat some too! Let’s steam the grouper fish!” At this moment, the white cat made a “hmm!” sound, and I couldn’t help laughing out loud as I listened to the conversation between the owner and the cat. , he also laughed, and after laughing, he said, "Don't look at Xiaojiao as a cat, but she can understand what I say, you don't mind if I do this!" I quickly said, "No I would mind! My dear mother is also a true cat slave. When I was young, my cats ate better than us. My mother can forget to cook for us, but she will never forget to cook fish for cats. Don’t talk about cats I don’t mind sharing, cats eat earlier and better than us, that’s right! My mother instilled it like this since childhood.” Hearing what I said, his eyes lit up immediately, and he said quickly, “Okay !OK!"

After a while, the smell of steamed fish came out from the open kitchen. He first prepared the fish for the cat and put it in its food box. The white cat happily enjoyed the fresh fish slowly; After a while, he brought out human food: a plate of steamed grouper, and a plate of sashimi that was cut very evenly and beautifully presented. The mackerel was very fresh and had a feeling of melting in the mouth. Plate of fruit and vegetable salad.He poured me a glass of local wine. We sat in the dining room, enjoying the food slowly, and sipping the fruity wine. He took a sip of the wine, as if admiring the deliciousness of the wine. Shaking his head lightly, he said, "What delicious fish and wine, in fact, these things are so simple that fishermen can enjoy them every day. Most of them have never left the island, and spend every day with this sea. I work with the sunrise and live with the sunset. In the evening, I gather in the bar on the island to drink ouzo, sing and dance, and go to church on Sunday. The islanders here are very enthusiastic. I was invited to attend their weddings and birthdays. Party, family gathering on weekends, etc. They attach great importance to family and friendship, and live a simple and tasteful life. For example, when they have breakfast, they will put the dining table under the tree outside their home. Not forgetting to share food with their pets.” His eyes sparkled and his face was filled with intoxication, and I couldn’t help but yearn too.I asked, "Does anyone on the island know that you used to be a big star?" His expression became serious, and he said slowly: "I don't know at all! They don't pay attention to entertainment stars, and they don't pay much attention to them. Not to mention Let’s talk about the stars in a place so far away from them. They care more about their family and friends, and they live a very relaxed and leisurely life.” “It seems that you like life here very much.” He replied, “Yeah! I I like this kind of slow life and humane society. It is simple and satisfying.” “But, living here, don’t you feel lonely? No one from your family can visit you, and your former friends and lovers are no longer in touch! ?” He lowered his head and said, “It’s a little bit, my elder brother will secretly visit me once a year, and he only stays for a few days before leaving. The others have no contact.”

The man with lonely eyes then opened his heart to me, and said: "The accident of filming "The Lost Ancient City" was designed by me, my brother and Hassan. Hassan was the one who went to Turkey for paragliding. The coach I met when I was a child, we hit it off very well, and we have known each other for more than ten years. My brother and I thought about many methods, but none of them were perfect. It was Hassan who proposed the method of using a paramotor. Finally, the three of us continued to test and improve, and finally achieved the desired result. The desired effect. I still remember that four years ago, my brother and I came to Turkey one month in advance, and we went to find a suitable location with Hassan. It should be suitable for paramotoring, but it should be relatively remote, and it should be able to block the traffic on the shooting site. Part of a person’s line of sight. Finally, we found it on a mountain near the ancient city of Troy. This mountain is not far from the sea. There is a flat ground on the mountainside. The line of sight observed by the people on board. The final process is: after my powered parachute flew out, Hassan was in charge of the aerial filming. After taking pictures of me and my powered parachute for 5 minutes, my parachute turned and entered a blind spot. , here is the sky above a bay that people on the mountainside cannot see. Hassan does not take pictures of my umbrella, but turns to take pictures of some scenery. After about two and a half minutes, I take the plane to complete the landing; another powered parachute enters Hassan Of course, this is my brother strapping a dummy wearing the same clothes as me to a paramotor and letting it fly over the mountain. The battery of this tricycle paramotor is designed to only It was used for half an hour, and the direction was controlled by my brother. It was like a small unmanned remote control plane, which would fly in front of the camera and fly over the sea. The powered parachute is like an autumn poplar leaf, falling to the sea surface with the wind, and then sinking into the sea. Hassan has to take pictures of this process clearly. We have practiced countless times for this, and it is accurate to the second. But, unexpectedly, it is still Betrayed by those birds, you are very powerful, and no one has ever discovered it before. Are you a bird expert?"

I smiled and said, "Of course not, it's my assistant. She has a father who is a bird expert. After watching the video, he paid special attention to those birds. He said they shouldn't appear at that time, That location." Then, I joked, "During the official filming of that episode, Hassan didn't put any tapes at all, he just pretended to shoot, and then put the tapes you filmed in advance into the machine later; Of course, the subsequent search was also organized by your brother. Hassan invited the local rescue and salvage team to be in charge of communication and coordination. , So, you got nothing for a few days! And after you landed, you quickly fled the scene with an umbrella." He replied shyly, "Yes, a car was hidden nearby, and Hassan My cousin drove to pick me up, sent me to a house that Hassan found for me, and then hid. Until all the investigations were completed and everything was calm, Hassan sent me to the island. "

I asked again, "When did you have the idea of ​​escaping from your previous life?" He handed a poured cup of coffee to me, picked it up himself, took a sip, and said, "I was very early in the morning. I don’t want to live in that circle anymore. When the platform company invited me to cooperate and make a program independently, I seemed to see a glimmer of hope for freedom, and then I had the idea of ​​escaping. You may not know it. Before, I lived The working circle is like a cage, and I am often out of breath like a boulder is pressed against my chest. The company signed a long-term contract with me, even if I want to quit, I can't do it even if I take a break. The assistant said, 'Unless, If you are seriously ill or die, the company will no longer hold the whip and rush to make an announcement. The brokerage company is counting on me to make a lot of money, and they have taken on one case after another for me. TV dramas range from leading roles, supporting roles to secondary roles; Variety shows, even shopping malls to occupy the platform, real estate promotions; sometimes, I also take on the urgent work of saving people from the state. As long as I can make money, I will go on it. In addition, there is a group of people who have been put by my boss. Ask me to bring them. During breaks, I have to invite them to eat, drink and have fun. Take photos together to earn some popularity and help them make their debut in the future. These are all good, especially what I can’t bear is that the company even assigned me a special The assistant, later, still used that method to drug me and set me up, and he insisted on turning the assistant I didn't like into a so-called girlfriend, she was Subetta; in fact, in doing so, on the one hand, the boss wanted to be better Monitor me. On the other hand, that Ms. Su is a relative of the boss, and her mother is also a small shareholder of the company. They hope that she can have a good backer, so that she can have no worries for the rest of her life. So, from the beginning of this matter, it was They figured it out. After they succeed, I will be responsible for providing Su Beita with an annual fee of 50 yuan. In the end, the public relations fee will increase from 100 million to 200 million. At the beginning, the boss said that it is only necessary to bring her out Say, it’s over, but, it’s becoming more and more difficult to get rid of it later, and my private life has also fallen into huge trouble.”

I looked at him who fell into silence, and asked, "Who else knows about the escape plan except the three of you?" He said, "Actually, the other person also knows." "Who?" I answered, "It's Ms. Zhuang Mingli." I looked at him in surprise, and he said, "I shouldn't have revealed it to anyone, but Ms. Zhuang wants to invest in a TV series, and she has been making the male lead At that time, I was about to sign a contract with my company, and I didn't want to alarm the company first, and I really couldn't find any reason to reject her. In the end, I could only tell her the truth. At the same time, I especially I begged her to find a reason to delay my company's signing request and keep it a secret for me. She agreed. However, I didn't tell her where I was going. I only told her that I was leaving soon and would not come back, so I I think she knew it in advance!"

I felt very confused and said, "Then why is she in the current situation?" He thought for a while and said, "Ms. Zhuang is my confidante and my noble person. I don't know her private life. That day, when Hassan told me that you were sent by her sister-in-law and her, I kept thinking about one thing: She is a very lucky woman from the outside world, born rich and powerful, and she almost wanted to Everything she does can be accomplished, and her life should be complete. But why did she start doing things that seem unreasonable to others? I think maybe she feels that her original life is meaningless. Go find the value of life! Just like the original Prince Siddhartha, who liked purity and was tired of the hustle and bustle of life in the court. To get rid of the pain of birth, old age, sickness and death. My affairs may be just a push, and these thoughts may have been hidden in her heart. Just like me, maybe without those things, I would leave, just It will be a little later, and I will use another method to quit the entertainment industry and leave the stage." He said it very coolly, maybe, he really sees through everything in the world like a philosopher.

Before I knew it, the sun was already in the west, and he said to me, "I'm tired and want to take a rest. If you are interested, you can take a look at the photos and videos of the island's scenery that I have taken in the past few years. On the first floor In the study, I'll take you there."

I was thinking, maybe the topic just now was too profound; maybe he was really tired; no wonder, talking with a stranger about some very secret things in the past, even when talking about the meaning of life, it is indeed very tiring .I'm also a little tired.It just so happened that I stayed in the study and browsed through his various collections freely, just to get to know him and relax.I flipped through aimlessly, and found a thick photo album, which contained the scenery of the island, cats wandering around the island, some beautiful plants, and photos of the residents on the island, let me check them out Daily life on the island.

A thin photo album in the corner caught my attention. After I opened it, I saw his family photos, and accidentally found a plastic bag, which seemed to contain many photos, so I curiously took the photos Take it out to see, there are some family photos inside, as well as his own photos alone. Among them, a photo of a young woman aroused my interest. She has a delicate appearance and fair skin. She is not a traditional big beauty, but has eyebrows and eyes. Smiling, looking forward to the bright and charming woman, there is an elegant and pretty refined posture, slender but bumpy, with a slender and soft state, the woman has long hair, wearing a simple T-shirt and shorts, her feet Made a small cross in front, showing a pair of long legs, with a bag on her shoulders, as if she would come out of the photo soon; behind the photo, there was a line of words:

To my dear Zhixiang Xiaojiao

I wondered in my heart, is this woman who affectionately called him Zhixiang his lover?Then, I saw a group photo of the two of them. Both of them were wearing thick winter clothes. He hugged her shoulders intimately. A tree covered with snowflakes gives the surrounding scenery a warm feeling.Turning to the back, there are a few words, which were taken when it was finished.This is a still photo?Or a photo of him with his lover?

I thought about it, and looked at these two photos repeatedly in my hand, and I had to admit that both of them had attractive appearances, and the photo of the two of them made them even more charming, "Hello! You are looking at the photos Is it?" Although, the master asked me to pass the time here, it seems that it does not include looking at private photos.However, my professional habits make it impossible for me to ignore it, "Sorry! I saw this bag by accident." He smiled and said, "It's okay! I don't mind." This made me less embarrassed, I simply walked over with the photo, handed it to him, and asked, "Is this your girlfriend? Is she an actress?" He hesitated a little, and said, "No." I frowned, Asked: "However, it is clearly written on the back of the photo: For dear Zhixiang Xiaojiao

Such a close name should be a lover! He also turned to the back, took a look, and said, "That was written by me before."nothing. I was stunned, and asked puzzledly, "No way, you wrote it yourself." He replied, "Just for fun, I snatched one of her promotional photos and asked her to give it to me. She refused, saying that the photos were taken by the advertising company. These are the only photos that can be used. They are very precious." Can't give it to me.I didn't care about 21, took a pen and wrote a line, she had no choice but to give it to me. I looked at him silently, and he was smiling as he talked, as if he was recalling the beautiful past. Then, he picked up another photo and said, "This photo was taken when we were filming in Zurich. At that time, the filming of the scene had already finished, but neither of us wanted it to end so soon. She couldn't help crying, and I shed tears too. , as stills for publicity!The photographer took a few photos, but I kept this one, because the other photos were too much makeup, she was crying so much, and my eyes were red, so I couldn't see it. After finishing speaking, he seemed to be immersed in good memories. After a while, he moved his eyes away from the photo, looked at me embarrassedly, smiled shyly, and I smiled too, and said, "Except for parents Brother and Hassan's picture, just her alone, and the picture of the two of you together.I can describe it like this: Is she the person you cherish the most?Whether it is a girlfriend or not, only you know. "He didn't explain anything, as if he had acquiesced, but his eyes became melancholy, and he said slowly, "She and I have lived in two worlds for a long time. " "You come here, does she know?" He paused for a few seconds and said, "I don't know!" "He began to recall the past slowly.
