Drunken Master

After returning to China, Pei Yan turned down several entertainment programs and commercial platform activities except those that had already been signed and had to go.

He has his own reasons. Laozi is not suitable for entertainment. Do you think I can be funny?

When others go to variety shows, they can entertain others and themselves.

I'm on variety shows, and with my stinky face, I can neither entertain others nor myself.

Several assistants gathered around in the studio, facing Comrade Pei who was driving a split-horse on the sofa and holding sugar pancakes in his mouth, they said in unison: "Master, we all agree that you are usually quite funny!"

"Fuck... don't make a fuss!" Pei Yan stretched out his palm to hold back his luck, "I'm very serious."

A group of people responded with boos and "tsk tuts": You are prudish.

Zhang Huan said: "Master, why aren't you suitable? You appeared happily on the show. You are young and you can run. Just do physical work and run!" "Running Man" and "Extreme" , choose one of the two, you choose one, we will definitely win you a chance to be on camera, at least as a guest in the last two episodes. Make some topics, otherwise we will be cold again."

Pei Yan continued to chop his split horse, and rolled his eyes at Zhang Huan: "Are you playing monkey?"

Zhang Huan rolled his eyes at him and said with a sneer, "You can play tricks on others if you have the skills."

"Who can really let you play? Who is the monkey after this door?" Pei Yan put his hands together, changed his posture, and shook his head on the sofa with his feet crossed.The schedule of the program has been set, and the coffees are eliminated according to the position from small to large, from short to tall, who cares if you can run?Who is the first to tear who, you think it's true?

He's a bit of a youthful cynic.He also knows this stinking problem, but he just doesn't want to follow the crowd and finds it very boring.It also seems that no one is pleasing to the eye, he is dissatisfied with no one, and he is too lazy to talk to him.

During the free time, he spends his time with his friends and buddies, exercising crazily and playing sports.

Play three groups of sandbags every day, 50 in each group.Three groups of iron sand, 50 in each group.Three sets of empty boxing, 50 times in each set.

There are three groups of kicks, 50 straight kicks, side kicks, and kicks each.

Wooden dummy stakes, 108 stakes.

One hour freestyle.

In addition, trail running three times a week and mountain biking three times a week.

……

Having practiced like this for so many years, Pei Yan is still very confident in her ability.

In the evening, after coming down from the boxing ring in the training hall, taking off his gloves, and answering a few important calls, Pei Yan sat on the sponge cushion by the sidelines, watched the sweat on his forehead "crackling" down, and gave Zhuang Xiao a slap in the face. Foreign phone.

It should be early in the morning on the other side of the ocean, and the other party sounded quite surprised. I didn't expect him to call.

Pei Yan cut to the chase, panting and said quickly: "Mr. Zhuang, that's it. I found two very good experts. They have already talked with them. They introduced the basic situation. They really want to have a look. One is from the Department of Sports Injury Neurology. The professor, who just came back from Germany, and the other is a famous doctor of Chinese acupuncture and moxibustion, who does scalp acupuncture therapy. They are not young, and they are all well-known in the industry..."

"Are you okay? Breathing so badly?" Zhuang Xiao asked on the phone, breathing heavily.

"Ah?" Pei Yan was panting like a cow, her hand holding the phone was wet.But he has a strong temper and has a short temper. When he thinks of something to do, he doesn't wait for a minute.

"Where are you kicking sandbags?" Zhuang Xiao asked suddenly.

"After kicking three sets of sandbags, Sanda for four to 10 minutes." Pei Yan frankly exposed his daily training content.

"Okay, not bad." Zhuang Xiao said.

"Are you breathing too?" Pei Yan asked.

"I kicked three sets of legs, walked in 64 circles, Wing Chun wooden dummy, and then practiced alone." Zhuang Xiao said.

"Practice started so early...? You can do it too, heh." Pei Yan said.

"The energy is the best in the morning, and I can't move in the evening." Zhuang Xiao replied.

On the phone, I could hear the other party's heavy breathing, and the conversation turned into a topic of training, weight loss, and health preservation.Zhuang Xiao retrieved the original words at the right time: "The two experts you mentioned just now?"

Pei Yan hurriedly said: "Oh, yes, I... I just want to ask your opinion, can I help you."

Zhuang Xiao already understood: "Is it about Eriletu?"

Pei Yan: "Yes."

Zhuang Xiao: "..."

Pei Yan said: "I don't want to make trouble for anyone, or do a disservice to anyone, so I ask your opinion first. He is indeed a very reliable doctor, a national treasure-level expert, and my family has also been in contact with it, so I dare to recommend it. The best in the domestic industry , It’s hard to find someone when you go on business trips and consultations...if you can trust me.”

……

Actually, how could Zhuang Xiao trust him?

Pei Yan felt that she might be acting affectionate, too naive, people might not care about your kindness or apology - it was too late.

After that incident, he never saw the accident victim again.

It's not that I don't want to see you, it's not that I haven't arranged it.As a public figure, no matter whether you are true or false, at least you need to show a gesture of remorse and guilt, visit the injured and try to make up for it.Pei Yan had no chance at all, he was blocked at the entrance of the hospital if he couldn't see him, and he was spared if he wasn't beaten up by Wu Xing from the dealer class.

He went there twice at that time, and every time he was thrown out, and every time he was surrounded by reporters and paparazzi who heard the sound and patted his face, his expression, whether he was in the ward or not. Kowtow at the door to apologize, have you been slapped in the face by the injured family members?

He didn't want to satisfy this bad taste, he felt that he was right, so he didn't go for the third time, just to save face.In short, everyone knows that he has a bad temper, smelly, ignorant, his reputation is bad enough, and the bottom of his pot is black enough.

Some things have been simmering in his heart for two years, and he can't express his depression, but he can't find a chance.He is not feeling well either.

Pei Yan is ready to be coldly received on the phone, or to be "educated" by Mr. Zhuang earnestly.

Zhuang Xiao said: "I happen to be returning to China in two days to do business, shall we meet and chat?"

Pei Yan: "..."

Pei Yan said, "Success, let's meet and talk."

On the day when Zhuang Xiao temporarily returned to China, Pei Yan personally drove to the airport to pick him up.

Originally, this work should be done by his assistant, if it is someone else's business, he is too busy to greet him.But he felt that, with the way Johnny Wu taught him to behave in the world, and Zhuang Xiao went out in person, he should personally pick up the opportunity to show his sincerity.

As night fell at the Imperial Capital Airport, the lights reflected the bustling passengers and welcome crowds, and the air was filled with dust from long-distance travel.

Fortunately, today is not on the schedule. No outsiders knew that Pei Yan or Zhuang Xiao would appear at the airport, so there was no army of supporting fans.Standing in an inconspicuous corner, Pei Yan waved at someone, and Zhuang Xiao quickly caught him in the crowd.

They saw each other at a glance.

Pei Yan didn't expect that Zhuang Xiao came here alone!No assistants, and of course no bodyguards, dressed in black in the dark night, without a suitcase, just skip the steps of picking up the luggage, this man carried a half-worn canvas travel bag on his shoulders, and was in a hurry, stride.

The black clothes make people more and more capable. In fact, martial arts practitioners are all thin, and their appearance is not obvious, so they are not conspicuous in the crowd.

His face was tired, but his eyes were bright, Zhuang Xiao nodded to him: "It just so happens that I have free time in these two days, I just want to go back to China to see the wounded, and to see my brother."

"Yeah." Pei Yan followed Zhuang Xiao all the way out of the airport, and could feel the other party's strides, "You came back alone? Didn't those people around you come with you?"

Zhuang Xiao glanced at him, and said calmly, "If they all come, can your business be done?"

Pei Yan was speechless.

Zhuang Xiao asked: "Where is the doctor?"

Pei Yan said: "They have already settled in the hospital hotel. All parties have greeted each other. Consultation can be done at any time. It can be done tomorrow morning, okay?"

Zhuang Xiao: "Thank you."

Pei Yan: "I should do it."

……

I spent the night in the ward to accompany the bed that night.

For more than two years, it was the first time Pei Yan saw the wounded, motionless and silent person lying on the hospital bed, like a wooden stake.

There were people sitting in the room, looking at the faces and expressions, one could see that they were the relatives and friends of the wounded. Their faces were tired and numb after years of taking care of the sick. No one spoke.

Zhuang Xiao naturally introduced Pei Yan to others: "Brothers in my team, come with me to have a look."

Pei Yan covered his easily revealing bald head with a baseball cap, and covered most of his face with the hood of his sweatshirt, which was also poked in the ward like a wooden stake.

I can't tell what the complex feeling is, but at that time, I can't make any expressions or exaggerated and excited reactions, just stand, stay silent, and watch.The oppressive and sad atmosphere slowly leaked from the corners of the pale walls of the ward.

Zhuang Xiao went in and out of work for a while, saying hello to the doctor and negotiating with the nurses.It turned out that the caregiver got bored and quit, and a new one was hired.Arranged a consultation for nerve cell therapy tomorrow morning, and started a two-week course of scalp acupuncture at the same time, and then decided on a long-term plan based on the aftereffect.

Some people sobbed, some wiped away their tears, and some pulled Zhuang Xiao to tell about the hardships of these years.

With a heavy accent, Pei Yan didn't understand most of the words, or deliberately tried to avoid understanding, diluting her sense of existence in an awkward atmosphere.

Zhuang Xiao translated a few sentences for him: "He has an older brother in his family. His father and elder brother are still working in their hometown city. They want to earn more money for medical treatment. His mother stays here to take care of him. Life is really not easy...Recently There was another accident at home, his father had a car accident at the place where he worked, it was very serious... His mother still needs to go back to take care of him, so he wants to move him back to his hometown and no longer live here..."

Pei Yan listened with a heavy face, without saying a word, not knowing what else to say.

Zhuang Xiao was not idle in the room: "There is no boiling water, I..."

Pei Yan said, "I'll go."

When Pei Yan came back, she took the three basins prepared for the patients in the house, and squatted on the ground to adjust the water temperature without looking up.Zhuang Xiao and his relatives and friends turned over and wiped themselves while waiting on the patients.

There are many photos pasted on the head of the bed, probably to wake up the wounded.Pei Yan recognized the smiling faces of many martial artists from those photos, and there must be Sa Risheng and Bao Fatty among them.

The wounded lost a lot of weight, his skin was pale, and all the muscles he had trained were gone.This person's previous figure was much stronger than Pei Yan's, like an iron tower.

He used to be a vigorous young man on the set and on the boxing ring. The suffering of fate will fall on someone's head one day. It makes people feel extremely complicated. People who lack the courage to face it may want to retreat and give up at this time. up.

At this time, Zhuang Xiao knelt on one knee near the end of the bed, adjusted the height and angle of the iron frame bed, frowned and snorted: "Damn it! It's stuck."

Pei Yan went over to help pry the screws on the iron bed.

Both of them knelt there for a long time, tossing the iron canopy bed with their heads together.

"Long-term bed rest, muscle atrophy, so thin that I can't look at it." Zhuang Xiao explained in a low voice, "It is easy to get urinary tract infection, and the color is not right..."

Pei Yan turned around and rummaged in the cabinet, and found a spare clean urine bag and catheter.He definitely didn't know how to operate it, seeing Zhuang Xiaote skillfully squatting on the ground to complete the work of changing the urine bag, he didn't even call for the night shift nurse.

Spend the night in the ward.The two were leaning on an armchair each, with their legs spread out, chatting with each other in exhaustion and confusion.

Pei Yan heard Zhuang Xiao mention something in his ear.Zhuang Xiao said calmly: "The crew of "The Dark Prisoner" also had an accident. When the martial arts actor jumped off the building, the safety wire broke, and he disappeared on the spot. Stepping on the blasting detonator, the leader of the blasting team and two other younger brothers were killed and injured... The producer said, fortunately, it was a test shoot at that time, not when the two leading actors stepped on it and exploded when the filming started, it would be a big deal."

Pei Yan said, "I've heard that too."

"Everyone is still young. It's a pity that you can't pay much. Although there are big and small cards in the crew, high and low, but they are all human lives." Zhuang Xiao turned to him and looked at him, "You now I can understand why Xiao Sa wants to kill you when he sees you? If someone you care about is injured so badly, or dies, you will feel uncomfortable and you will vent your anger."

"I understand." Pei Yan lowered her eyelids, "It should be cut."

Zhuang Xiao said at the time: "It's not easy for these people, they are the ones who make us the leading actors. We can't be ungrateful to make money and be famous."

Pei Yan said solemnly, "I'm very, very sorry."

This was the first time he had admitted his mistake and apologized in front of outsiders, and he had never done that before.Before, he never listened to anyone pouring chicken soup to his face and preaching to him.

Zhuang Xiao stretched out his arms, maybe he's used to being the boss, just like how this person hugged his brothers in his team countless times, and patted him on the back of the shoulder.

……

Thinking about it afterwards, Pei Yan found that he and Zhuang Xiao really didn't know each other very well, and they met twice more than strangers.

In private, the first time I had such close contact with this person, it was completely different from what I had imagined before, so different...

The dazzling halo of the "hero" on the screen is gone, no one has superhuman powers in life, and the voice of his speech has no sense of mystery. Mr. Zhuang is just a good-looking ordinary person.

What was within the hero's appearance was blurred through the veil, allowing him to see the fineness of flesh and blood.

Early the next morning, Pei Yan showed Zhuang Xiao the way, and the two went to a restaurant two streets away from the hospital to have breakfast.This is a time-honored restaurant in the capital. It operates breakfast business on time all year round. The taste is very authentic. If you come late, you will grab it.

Zhuang Xiao wondered: "You are not from Beijing, are you? You are so familiar with this place."

Pei Yan said: "I usually have to come here to meet people and talk about things, and people in the circle also hang out here, and they can be regarded as permanent residents."

Pei Yan lined up to buy two drawers of steamed stuffed buns, four pancakes with sugar oil, six tea eggs and two bowls of fried liver, thinking it was enough for two people.

"Aren't you a local aborigine? You are less familiar with the road than me?" he asked.

Zhuang Xiao said, "I haven't been here often for several years."

"Very good." Pei Yan swallowed a bun and chewed, "Can you still eat fried liver? You can't get used to the smell of garlic and large intestines!"

"Eat." Zhuang Xiao smiled, "It's no problem to kill this table!"

The experience and mentality are different, but it seems that the taste has not changed.

The two of them swept away the clouds within 10 minutes, and quickly killed the fried liver with fried eggs, buns, pancakes, and basically divided the table in half.Sure enough, those who work in this industry usually consume a lot of physical energy and energy, and eating is a must, but people are all lean, and they can't grow fat if they eat.

A mother and son were eating breakfast together at the next table. The little boy was at the age of elementary school, and he always glanced at them while he was eating a bun.

Pei Yan wolfed down the last half of the pancake, her eyes signaled: Get out, you're going to be exposed.

Zhuang Xiao said with his mouth: You are exposed, you can withdraw, I will eat for a while.

Zhuang Xiao said and poured half a bowl of fried liver.

The little boy started humming the theme song subconsciously: "Gang Deng waits for it to be la la la hot, let me go on a long road, full of courage and enthusiasm—"

Pei Yan was wearing sunglasses and covering her hood, and almost choked on the last bite of sugar pancake!

His mouth is full of grease.

Zhuang Xiao burst into a smile.It seems to be the ending song of the movie "Su Qier".

The two licked the dishes clean and ran out of the restaurant.

The street in the early morning is the reflection of the most ordinary and busy beings in the floating world. The two of them, who were not familiar with each other at first, just met at a certain intersection and stopped for a while on the side of the street...

There were two consultations with Western medicine experts in a row that day, and I was busy, so I don't need to elaborate on the details.

Pei Yan said to Zhuang Xiao: "The doctor is definitely a reliable doctor. My dad knows him. He has treated my grandfather and everything before. There is no guarantee that such a serious illness will recover. I also told them and tried my best. And for it."

"I understand." Zhuang Xiao said, "Do your best to obey the destiny."

Zhuang Xiao's itinerary is in a hurry, and he will leave Beijing soon.Before Pei Yan got into the car on the side of the road, she suddenly remembered: "Do you need to go home? Do you have a home in Beijing? Where do you need to go? I will drive you, which is very convenient."

"I'm not going anywhere, I don't have to go home." Zhuang Xiao said, "Tomorrow's flight, I will go to Xilinhot for a few days to help the family with some things. His family may have to sue for compensation for the car accident. .”

Pei Yan: "..."

Pei Yan subconsciously wanted to say "I'll go with you", but suddenly remembered: "I'm scheduled to go to Shanghai tomorrow, there is a promotional event. I can catch a red-eye flight..."

"No, I take it!" Zhuang Xiao waved his hand at him, "I can understand it, so you can do your work."

Pei Yan felt really guilty.At this time, there will never be the state of mind of "the one whose future is ruined is not only the one lying motionless on the bed", it's too fucking bad.

Before leaving, Zhuang Xiao said: "If you can't be cured, don't worry. If you can recover a little bit, I will say that the doctor you hired woke up the person. If it can't be cured, the person will be like this. Don't say anything, as long as you and I know about it."

Pei Yan gave Mr. Zhuang a hug, sincerely.
