White dove

The filming crew set up camp in the hunter's hut. Wu Renqi also had a utility room in the backyard where dry firewood and animal skins were piled up. Five people cleared the ground and pitched two tents to learn from the experience and lessons from last time. , This time the tent was chosen as an outdoor professional-grade one that can sleep overnight in the snow and cannot be blown down by strong winds. Qin Doudou was faced with the dilemma of either sharing a tent with Ruan Feilanlin, or sharing a tent with Shen Shen and Tong Tong , He scratched his head, deeply feeling his helplessness and redundancy, let the boss forget it, facing the heavy and bright eyes, Lan Lin's white eyes are more acceptable.

Just like the last time they photographed Liang Haishen, they photographed Wu Renqi close to him. The life of hunters in the forest is extremely monotonous and boring. They chop firewood and raise deer. They exchange wine for the big Lieba made by the grandmother, as well as salt and other necessary daily necessities. Sometimes they will stay at the hunter's point for several days, and drink with them without doing anything else.

Wu Renqi's iron jug can always pour out wine, and the pungent smell of wine has melted into his blood, skin, and every pore. Whether he has drunk or not, the smell will last for a long time.

There are only a dozen households in the hunter village, most of them are middle-aged and elderly people, and they are all members of Wurenqi's former tribe. After hunting was banned, they all moved to the edge of the forest, and more people went to live in towns. There is only so much left of the old way of life.

When Wu Renqi was with them, he could speak the native language of the nation, Shen Shen and Tong Tong couldn't understand it, but people's emotions and expressions could not be deceiving. They lived peacefully, but they were not happy.

Only wine, and only after drinking wine, they will express themselves loudly. A group of weather-beaten uncles are sitting around the campfire, and their hearts are soaked in strong wine. There was a conflict, and Wu Renqi couldn't understand what they were arguing about. Wu Renqi rushed into one of the tents, dragged out a bunch of things and threw them at their feet, loudly as if reprimanding something, while the others hung their heads in silence.

Ruan Fei's camera followed, and Tong Tong and Shen Chen saw in the viewfinder that a few shotguns were thrown on the ground.

Everyone in Wurenqi's wooden house had also seen his shotgun, which was shiny and shiny. Wurenqi would wipe it with a piece of leather when he had nothing to do. Although he hadn't used it for a long time, everyone who saw it believed that it was as sharp as ever.

But the shotgun now lies on the ground, rusty, forgotten, abandoned, sealed in the dust of time.

Wu Renqi's expression could not be described as angry, it was anger, sadness, and a complex emotion mixed with a trace of understanding and helplessness in his heart.

An uncle who had been silent all this time also got emotional, stood up and said a long line to Wu Renqi loudly, Tong Tong anxiously grabbed Tatur and asked him to translate, Tatur said intermittently: "I can hear what they said too. I don't quite understand, but the general idea is that this uncle said that Wu Renqi should wake up from his memories, the tribe has long since disappeared, everyone should look forward, and life must continue."

The uncle became more and more emotional as he talked. He picked up the shotgun on the ground and threw it directly into the fire. Tatur said, "He said that useless things should be burned."

Ruan Fei's camera followed Wu Renqi closely. His expression was changing. After the shotgun was thrown into the fire, he went from grief and indignation to unbelievable, and gradually calmed down. His eyes turned cold inch by inch. He picked up the wine Hu, without saying a word, turned around and strode away.

Ruan Fei hurriedly followed, Lan Lin stayed in place to take pictures of other people's reactions, the lonely and incomprehensible hero left alone, and his only and last companion was gone.

After Wu Renqi returned home that night, he closed the door directly, and the film crew returned to the backyard "camp" for a short meeting. It has been half a month now, and they have taken a lot of life materials, and they can probably piece together a distant tribe. The theme of culture, but there are still thousands of miles away from the long-tune epic Zahn Daleq that I really want to shoot, what should I do?

There is a quick way to achieve it, but no one mentioned it. If Wu Renqi stopped singing, you can set up a plot and let other people who are willing to cooperate to stage the filming, but these are leftovers, and they are so fake that people can see through them at a glance. Make a documentary Most people would not do this, but the content problem we are facing now is serious and there is no solution.

Several people discussed until late at night, but there was no good solution, and finally decided to ask Shen Shen and Tong Tong to have an in-depth communication with Wu Renqi tomorrow.

In the early morning of the next day, just a few hours after the film crew fell asleep, someone knocked on the door of the utility room "camp". Qin Doudou rubbed his eyes and opened the door, and it turned out to be Wu Renqi. He looked very unusual, dressed in thick and strong clothes, and he carried the shotgun that he cleaned repeatedly every day behind his back, and said to everyone in a hoarse but thick voice: "I'm going to go hunting, and I'll be away for about a week. , feel free to go to Tatur if you have anything to do."

Tong Tong was in a light sleep, and woke up at the first knock on the door. Hearing this, he didn't even bother to put on his coat, and ran out of the tent directly, saying, "Uncle Wu Renqi, it's not like he can't hunt anymore. Where are you going?"

Wu Renqi's eyes were dark and firm, and he said: "Decades of habits, the traditions of our ancestors, how can we say no to it, just don't want it. The forest is my home, and I want to go home."

Everyone got up, Shen Shen told Ruan Feilan Lin Qin Doudou to pack up quickly, he said to Wu Renqi: "Uncle, we will go with you too, we will go wherever you go!"

Wu Renqi glanced at him: "The forest is very dangerous, it's not a joke." He shook the barrel of the gun on his back: "I have this, what do you have?"

Several people looked at each other, but... Shen Shen never flinched: "Let's go! We can protect ourselves."

All the dry food and unfinished meat in the wooden house were brought. The weather has been fine for several days, and the snow around the wooden house has melted a little, but walking deeper into the forest, the snow still does not reach the calf.

Even in the era when hunting was possible in the past, no one would go into the mountains in this season. The so-called "hunting" of Wu Renqi this time was quite weird. Tong Tong and Shen Chen walked side by side, and he said, "I guess it was last night." Those uncles at the hunter point stimulated him, and everyone had given up and had to give up, but he didn’t, the forest and the shotgun were the light in his heart, and he wanted to protect this light.”

Shen Shen nodded: "Hunting is his heart addiction. Some people will stick to a behavior pattern for a lifetime. Hunting used to be for life, but now it is his belief."

"So do you think he will really fight something?" Tong Tong suddenly thought of this question.

Shen Chen smiled, but did not answer.

Wu Renqi didn't walk fast in front, he was very familiar with this forest, where there was a river, there were fish under the shallow ice surface, and the simple birch bark tent he had pitched along the road before, all of them were familiar. It is his foothold, he is like a real mountain patrol king, an invisible map is in his heart, and he strokes it inch by inch with his footsteps.

Resting in a birch bark tent at night, a few people lit a bonfire by the stream. The fish and meat were grilled with salt, and the big Lieba was also heated on a rack. Wu Renqi suddenly asked, "Have you seen An?"

Several people looked at each other blankly and shook their heads. Tong Tong said, "It's a kind of deer, right? It's huge, and it's rare now."

"Yes." Wu Renqi nodded: "Yan Dahan is the largest and most beautiful animal in the forest. It is mighty and sensitive, very dignified, like a god."

"Have you seen it?" Shen Shen asked.

Wu Renqi nodded slowly: "I will never forget it. Every time I see it, I feel it is a gift from the forest god."

"Can I still see you now?"

"No, they've been poached, they've been killed, maybe there's still, maybe they're dead, and they've been seen for years."

This is too bad, Wu Renqi doesn't look sad when he talks about these things, maybe he's used to it, but several people in the filming crew are very angry, Tong Tong suddenly thought: "Uncle, so you often go to the mountains because of them?"

Wu Renqi looked over with deep eyes: "I am looking for them, every year, every season, along the places where they used to haunt, they are still in my heart, I believe that God will not abandon us."

In the hearts of the former tribal hunters, Yan Dahan was the god who guarded them and the forest, but now the gods go away and disappear with the hunting days. Wu Renqi believes that they must still be there. Looking for Dahan, like he would never let go of a shotgun that can no longer pull the trigger no matter what.

After walking in the forest for seven days, except for the snow, the dry food and physical strength of the film crew were obviously unable to keep up. Shen Shen and Ruan Fei were fine. It was the first time for the others to experience such a severe and severe outdoor work. Tong Tong was still in good spirits. OK, but already a little out of shape.

Wu Renqi walked ahead silently, and Lan Lin, who had been following him with the camera on his shoulders, stopped suddenly. He saw a nest of wild rabbits not far from Wu Renqi in the camera, and the rabbits were scurrying in and out in the snow. Playing happily, without any precautions, in the eyes of Lan Lin, who ate Da Lieba for five days, it was simply a delicious meal.

He tugged on the sleeves of Qin Doudou and Ruan Fei, and they all stared at the nest of rabbits, begging Wu Renqi with their eyes, didn't they want to hunt?No, it's ready-made, and we'll add another meal after we're done.

Sure enough, Wu Renqi aimed at the rabbits. Everyone held their breath and slowed down their breathing, but the sound of the gunshot they were expecting did not appear. After a while, Wu Renqi got up and put away the gun, and made a noise on purpose. Aware of foreign enemies, he slid around and disappeared.

Lan Lin threw the camera to Ruan Fei and rushed forward: "Why didn't you shoot? Didn't you mean hunting?"

Ruan Fei hurriedly stuffed the camera into Qin Doudou's arms, stepped forward to pull the person away, and said "I'm sorry", but Wu Renqi couldn't see anything, and just said lightly: "Both are female rabbits. , a pregnant female rabbit with her cubs."

After speaking, he continued to walk forward without looking at anyone.

Ruan Fei supported Lan Lin, Lan Lin's physical strength and spirit were exhausted, he sat down on the snow: "I won't shoot, I won't shoot, what the hell are you doing?"

Wu Renqi was still walking forward, stood still after hearing the words, turned around and smiled at the camera crew, which looked like a silent sneer.

Shen Chen walked to Lan Lin's side, but said to Ruan Fei: "The person you recommend, you can handle it, or get out of here together, I don't want such a delicate person."

Ruan Fei pushed Shen Shen away: "Go your way, I'll take care of it."

Shen Shen snorted coldly, and before leaving, he took out the last pack of sauced meat from his backpack and threw it over: "Give it to him, drink some water and rest, we will wait for you in front."

Tong Tong and Shen Chen caught up with Wu Renqi, and that afternoon they arrived at the last stopping point set by Wu Renqi. He looked around and said, "When I was 15 years old, I went into the forest with the tribe. It was the first time I met Gan Dahan, right here."

After a while, Ruan Fei and Qin Doudou also arrived with Lan Lin. The weather has been fine these few days, the sun is shining brightly on the snow, but the sky is getting dark very quickly in the forest. Not long after noon, look Woke up like evening.

Ruan Fei put Lan Lin in a birch bark tent to rest, and Shen Shen and Tong Tong followed Wu Renqi to find some food. Although the ground was still covered with snow this season, when the snow was opened, countless good things had grown on the ground , are human food.

Suddenly Wu Renqi stopped, stretched out his hand to make a stop gesture, Tong Tong and Shen Chen also froze in place, Wu Renqi stood up very gently and looked towards a place, there was a thin and light sound over there, like A large cloud of snow fell on the ground, and the wooden branches collided with each other. Wu Renqi turned around and said softly to Tong Tong and Shen Chen, "God has come."

Both Tong Tong and Shen Chen saw that An, at this moment Tong Tong knew why Wu Renqi described it like that, mighty, sensitive, dignified, it has a kind of beauty that is close to holiness, at this time the sky is dim, but it looks like the whole body In the light, the body is so huge, but it is quiet and light, walking slowly and standing in the forest.

Before it was too late to call Ruan Fei and Lan Lin over, Shen Shen took out his mobile phone, froze in place and dared not move, and took a picture of this almost miraculous moment.

I don’t know if this is the last An, and I don’t know where it came from and where it’s going. It just appeared so suddenly, as if the forest felt the gift of pious heart, and it returned the faith to Wu Renqi , Yan Dahan, who suddenly appeared, seemed to be inspired by some kind.

There are no words to explain all this, it happened in front of my eyes, Wu Renqi's eye sockets were wet, and he walked towards that An extremely slowly, and that An was also miraculous, standing in place without being disturbed.

Wu Renqi stopped when he was approaching, and each of them looked at each other calmly. His tears flowed down, and he saw compassion in An's eyes.

Ruan Fei and Qin Doudou finally arrived, and quickly set up the machine, not daring to approach, so they could only stand beside Tong Tong and Shen Chen to take pictures from a distance.

The last light of the sky fell on that An, weak and soft, reflecting the reflection of the snow, as unreal as if a halo mirror had been turned on, Wu Renqi folded his hands, as if performing some kind of ritual, Tong Tong couldn't understand, he said something in his native language to that An, and stretched out his hand again.

An looked at him quietly, and finally touched his palm lightly with the tip of her nose.

At this moment, Wu Renqi began to sing, his hoarse but thick voice sounded in the dim forest, the extremely low tone seemed to be muttering to himself, and he sang to Yan Dahan who appeared like a god Zahndalag, an epic about forests and tribes.

It was the first time for everyone to hear this legendary epic long tune. Wu Renqi's voice gradually became clearer and more majestic. The blood, glory, silence and desolation of a nation were all in it. No one could understand this long tune. , even if he can understand his language, he still can't understand these histories and expressions. The glory is gone, and no one cares except the hunter who has been reluctant to leave the forest.

But at this moment, the forest understands, and that An also understands.

Wu Renqi seemed to sing out the last heat in his chest, the sky was completely dark, the moon and stars could not penetrate the forest, only a faint white light was faintly reflected by the snow, Wu Renqi burst into tears after singing the last line .

When did that An leave, no one noticed, and when everyone came back to their senses, they found that it had disappeared.

Everything was like an illusion, but it happened in front of everyone's eyes. After the film crew went back, they repeatedly looked at the footage taken by Ruan Fei, but they couldn't find the picture of Yan Dahan leaving. Ruan Fei was far away. When Wu Renqi sang, he moved a little, blocked the camera from time to time, and it was dark...it just disappeared in front of everyone.

But they can prove that the gods have come.

Wu Renqi, who returned to the birch bark tent camp, seemed to be a different person. The stubbornness and sadness that had been hidden in his heart and radiated all the time disappeared. He looked older, but more peaceful.

"That An is the emissary sent by the forest to reconcile me with myself." Wu Renqi said to them in this way: "I will no longer indulge in endless nostalgia, but faith will always be here." He patted chest.

The appearance of this dog not only helped Wu Renqi, but also helped the film crew. They finally captured the legendary Zaendaleg, the last hunter. This long tune about forests and tribes may eventually be lost, never to be seen again. No one can sing it, but someone recorded it, proving that a culture that will never come back really existed.

This culture still exists today, but it is disappearing, and no matter who is in it, or the people who are watching and recording like the film crew, they can only watch it disappear, and they record it, but it cannot be saved.

The long tune in the forest is like an elegy, so beautiful and tragic.
