quail

From May to September, Li Bai felt that his time could be clearly divided into several parts - [-]% was used for work, [-]% was used for sleeping, eating, drinking, and living, and the remaining [-]% was spent wandering on the street.

To be more specific, in these more than 100 days, I actually spent nearly a week on shopping day and night?

It doesn't seem to be an exaggeration.

The salary is high and the intensity is high, and making a movie is a kind of money-burning job that costs money within a day of starting up. Of course, Li Bai understands this. As for why colleagues sleep in tents on rest days until the dark, the answer is also obvious. .It can only be said that he has a relatively strong mind. Not only can he continue to suffer from insomnia when he should be sleeping, but whenever he has free time, he also takes an hour-long bus from the film and television base to the densely populated town of Ouarzazate. Carry a green bill and a few steel coins to avoid encountering gangsters on the road, and you will suffer too much loss.

However, in fact, the knife hidden in the bag was never used. On the contrary, Li Bai found that the local bearded men in straw hats and women in robes were quite friendly.For example, the sellers of melons cut honeydew melons into long strips and put them in front of the booth. Li Bai tried to eat them but refused to buy them, so they yelled at him in broken English: "Onemore, onemore!" Rose flower, Li Bai put on his ears and looked in the mirror, he liked it so much, his face turned red, he was so happy that he counted the steel coins in the hands of the stall owner, she also said "beautiful", and there was no abnormality in his eyes .

You don't need to appreciate it, as long as you don't blame it, it's enough. If you insist on seeing it, then you can do whatever you want, I have nothing to do with it, that's what Li Bai thinks.Avoiding the hotel resorts where the rich gather with white walls, sneaking into the gray and yellow streets and alleys full of people from all walks of life, he can often feel this kind of comfort.Li Bai also rented their electric bicycles and rode them all over the city with dusty dust. The farthest time he rode was a large desert on the outskirts of the city.

Just looking for it casually according to the map, I actually found it.It was about three o'clock in the afternoon when he arrived, and the last pedestrian he met was at least 10 minutes ago. He stopped alone on the cliff at the edge of the sand sea, let go of the handlebar and let him fall to the ground, sat on the hot ground, lowered the brim of his hat, and hung his head. Gaze at those golden sand dunes.The weather in early August was cloudless, and Li Bai drank up the two bottles of water he brought, but he still felt dehydrated.The clothes couldn't block the scorching on his skin, so he enjoyed himself, his calf under the half of his trousers was red from the sun, hanging in the air in the hot air.

He always feels that the mountains made of gravel are flowing under his feet, they are so smooth and smooth, but those light and shadow intertwined in the subtleties can always form the shape he wants to see.He saw the holly, the red sofa, the whirling of the owl, saw the poplar.There are also mirages, whirling tree shadows and old castles.I am very small, and the world is also small. The only thing that can be called big here is the passing of time. If a feather fell here 1000 years ago, it would be magnified and make his whole heart beat.

It was not until the setting sun was close to the horizon, coating the desert with a narrow layer of black border, and dyed the sky and the earth into brown and orange, that Li Bai rode away.He had to take the bus back to the base, but he memorized everything he saw and heard that day. On the next rest day, he borrowed a colleague’s Lenovo notebook, spent the whole morning, typed more than 3000 words, and finally deleted them into [-]. Second, tell Yang Jian.

So, did Yang Jian hear it?

Not a single reply.

Li Bai also got three new ear piercings, all on the ear bones, wearing small rings, stars, and cross nails, all of which are black. There is also a small eye on the lower lip near the left corner of the mouth. lip ring.He pierced each of them by himself. After piercing, he had to work and sweat a lot. As a result, only one got inflamed, and it is completely healed now.Sister Linda, Sasha, and a few well-known logistical reporters all praised him for his good looks.

He also wrote all these down and told Yang Jian all about it.

However, they were not shot at the same time, but one at a time, because he only desperately needed to pierce his eyes when he was drowsy and not sure that he was still alive.Like a mark, the pain taught him not to be afraid of forgetting.Because the hole is so loyal, as long as a piece of metal stays poked there, it won't wear down, let alone grow back.This is short pain.is refreshing.The cigarettes I brought were exhausted, and the locals were not used to smoking and couldn't afford them. This was a long-term pain, a torment.

Li Bai felt that this was a forced withdrawal, which was equivalent to being choked by addiction and had to keep moving forward, so he suffered so much every day.

This is what he did not write to Yang Jian.

He was still thinking, what did Yang Jian see and what did he guess?It was I who said I don't need to reply, so I shouldn't have too much expectation now, Li Bai just hoped that the things he sent would be happy and interesting to Yang Jian.He could imagine the smile on the corner of Yang Jian's mouth countless times, surrounded by black holes, and the computer's fluorescent light was on, with cold blue and warm arcs.But did Yang Jian laugh?

Doubtful.

Li Bai couldn't understand it.

So, on the rest day at the end of August, Li Bai deliberately took a shower and put on the neatest clothes, all of which were made by Yang Jian, which can be regarded as bringing Yang Jian's belongings.He got into a tent with an embroidered carpet in the free market, looking for the witch named Etasha.

The sign at the door says ten dollars for one divination, is it almost the fortune-telling masters who set up stalls on the streets in China?I don't know if it's true or a liar, but Li Bai has passed by many times and has been thinking about it silently for a long time.

But this time Etasha is not here, so I can't look at Li Bai's T-shirt and tell him if that person has thought about him.Only one of her assistants was in charge of the store, and she couldn't do anything, so she could only speak English in a stuttering manner, and sold crystals and tarot cards to Li Bai.Li Bai looked around casually, turning a deaf ear to it, but was finally attracted by a booklet placed on the far side of the shelf.

From the looks of the workmanship, it was probably printed by myself. On the cover of the kraft paper, there were two lines of letters written in Gothic script. Li Bai only found out after asking, that it was "Spiritual Number of Life".

The... spiritual number of life?

The assistant explained that this is a concept put forward by Pythagoras, that is, numbers have their own spiritual meaning, which can reveal the truth behind everything and interpret the meaning of life with the help of numbers.The specific operation is: add each digit of the birthday, and add again when encountering multiple digits until one digit is obtained.What you get is the number of life, and then follow the instructions in the book to check, and you can see the corresponding destiny.

After listening to it for a long time, Li Bai was not sure if his understanding was correct or not. Anyway, one dollar for each copy was guaranteed. He paid the money and took the booklet back to the base. It was not a waste of time.

After the show that night, the tent was filled with the deafening snoring of several male colleagues. Li Bai bit his flashlight and was full of energy, sketching on the pamphlet.He didn't know when he was born. Although he was a little curious, it was fine if he couldn't find out. He just wanted to see Yang Jian. 1983,9,29, 41, 5, add up to [-], plus, it becomes [-].

What is 5?

There are three pages of explanations. Looking at the densely packed English, it was like reading a spell. Li Bai held his temper and stroked it word by word. He could only read the general meaning full of holes. After work the next day, taking advantage of the spare time, I asked sister Linda who was removing her makeup.

After asking Li Bai, he understood everything, and he couldn't keep any luck.His previously half-knowledgeable understanding was basically correct. He was lying in his own little corner of the tent, and the early autumn in the desert was oozing coolness. Lost.

The magic book roughly says something like this:

The number "5" represents change, chaos, and adventure.

People with life number 5 are destined to be a group of people who cannot be domesticated. Their natural rebellious souls are destined to wander around. Their free and wild side exudes an attractive bad boy and bad girl temperament, such as Angelina Julie.Although they are often fully aware of this, they never pay attention to it.What keeps them passionate about pursuing is always stimulation. They have the ability to find success in a completely independent state, and it is torture for them to follow other people's arrangements.

However, because they need freedom too much, they sometimes show a relatively heavy tendency to self-destruct. They gain absolute autonomy in life through desperate means, and need to learn to find a balance in it, so as to maintain the stability and integrity of their own and other people's lives.They are powerful and resilient as long as they don't go to extremes.They are people who will never let life knock them down. Even if everything is repeated, they will only become more frustrated and courageous in the changes again and again. They are natural survivors, and they are the kind of people who will not let fate bully them, even if fate throws them If there is a problem, they will reach out to catch it.

At the same time, such people cannot stand injustice and have the ability to see and feel what their contemporaries ignore, so situations of injustice can annoy them on a soul level.Fighting against injustice and establishing a new system is a common desire among them, and successful people are such as Abraham Lincoln.

All in all, there's a reason for their turmoil and rebellion, and they're destined to make the world a better place.

Li Bai pondered these few "prophecies" over and over again, and couldn't help thinking of those constellation books on the sofas waiting for seats in the store. When he opened them, he felt like a magic stick. , but he still couldn't help turning it over a few times.Since he can't be sure whether he is a Scorpio or a Sagittarius, he wants to match Yang Jian's certain Libra, so he has to look at both situations, and then swing between the two signs.

Is this superstition, or in other words, rushing to the doctor in a hurry?He should have always been quite superstitious, always keen to find all the evidence that he could be with Yang Jian for a long time.

What's more, this time, these things seem to be very accurate.

Yang Jian is amazing.

Yang Jian won't fall?

Yang Jian...can't be fixed, it's the soul that wants to wander.

Li Bai couldn't stay any longer, and he didn't bring any brochures. He got out of the tent alone, and turned off the lights everywhere. In the distance, only some security guards were smoking and talking. Standing at the door of the tent, he quietly watched the starry sky.Under the overwhelming pressure from the universe, Li Bai held his breath, and suddenly remembered the theory that Yang Jian told him, saying that the universe is too big, and before the light reaches the human eye from thousands of miles away, the luminous stars themselves are likely to die up.

Li Bai couldn't understand the theory of relativity, but he could understand this - when he raised his head and tried to look up at the starry sky, most of those stars actually didn't exist anymore.

There is also light-year, a unit to describe a huge distance, and he remembered what Yang Jian said, to prove how far away it is, the measure still needs to be time.

It's sad to think about it.

Time passed, but the distance did not shorten.Under the dome of silence, Li Bai still couldn't see his spiritual number, couldn't see his own destiny, so he didn't want to be curious at all.He also knew that what Yang Jian hated most was superstition, and these words might sound like nonsense to that person.But words like "self-destructive tendencies" still scared him accurately. If fate really exists, then there is a reason why fate made him read this book on this day and learn everything about Yang Jian of.

Yang Jian's life seems to be full of turmoil, and he, Li Bai, can see a corner, so what can he do to help?Is it companionship?Is it a reminder?

In the end, it was the sense of fate that hit Li Bai. He didn't want to believe it, but he couldn't muster up the courage to refute.His life, as well as his cup, seemed to be held by a certain hand, as if he couldn't get it back.After thinking about it all night and working for more than ten hours, Li Bai sent Yang Jian the seventh email in these days.

He said: I don't know if these are accurate, I just read them on the street.

He said: But I think it suits you very well, and I am full of confidence in the future in an instant. This is also a positive motivation!

He also said: I don't know how you are doing recently?how is my sisterBrother, if you are too tired, you can tell me, you must not hold back yourself.We have all calmed down over the past few months, and I should have matured a little bit. My emotions and life are all quite stable, as you can tell from my words.You can tell me.

Yang Jian still didn't reply.

Li Bai's mailbox, which only sent emails to him, was silent day after day until September.

On the next rest day scheduled for the middle of the month, Li Bai even failed to go to the city to find the witch Etasha to find out what happened. The lights and lanterns came to visit, and he spent nearly a day in this film and television base for sightseeing and taking pictures.

The rented Hummer had a local driver, Deng Deng, and Deng Deng's boss who always smiled and said nothing.Li Bai felt that they were either boring, noisy or full of conspiracy, so he didn't want to accompany them on the tour.Why did he still get in the car in the end—probably because he couldn't bear Deng Deng's never-changing stalking?He sat in the co-pilot, grabbed his seat belt, and introduced the famous scenic spots in the film and television city to the two tourists in the back row in Chinese. In the venue where the mirror became famous, Deng Deng imitated her pose to take a photo, and then took a photo of the owner of Toad Sunglasses who put on the lamp in the next second like a photo of grandparents and grandchildren.

After tossing about dinner, Li Bai was as tired as he was on the set after a busy day.Countless times he wanted to drag Deng Deng into the alley and beat him up, but he failed every time.The only thing that comforted Li Bai was that he finally entered the city again for this dinner. The car passed by the closed market he often went to. The restaurant was in a resort area that he rarely passed by. It's arched, and on the menu is a boiled carrot sliced ​​and drizzled with sauce for $59.

He looked coldly at the former colleague across the table who was feeding carrots to the health care boss, unceremoniously opened his stomach, ate fish, meat, and cheese, and when he was in a bad mood, he would get full, and when he was full, he wanted to hide and vomit.Before he got up, he saw that the boss stood up. Smoking was banned in the restaurant, so he went out with a cigarette case and lighter to smoke. He was really elegant and graceful.When Li Bai thought of the situation where he had no cigarettes to smoke, he wanted to throw up even more. He covered his mouth with a napkin, and just passed by the lamp, he was suddenly grabbed by his wrist and pulled him onto the sofa chair.

"I'm going to the bathroom!" Li Bai said under his breath.

"I know, you wait first," Deng Deng lowered his voice, "I have something important to tell you, I have to face to face, otherwise I don't have to come to this artificial attraction to take pictures, the boss himself I don't really want to come. By the way, I have to take advantage of his absence, otherwise it will be too embarrassing, we must hurry up, you help me watch the door!"

Seeing the person next to him holding the bag and looking around, with a look of anxiety on his butt, Li Bai took a deep breath, tried his best to ignore the turmoil in his stomach, and stared at the door the boss had just left.

"There hasn't been any movement yet," he said, "What's the matter, tell me as you look for it."

"Let me ask you, what's going on with you and your brother, no, what's going on with your boyfriend?" Deng Deng turned over the sunscreen spray and perfume bottles rattling.

"What?" Li Bai turned to look at his bag, "What's wrong?"

"...Brother Bai, um, listen to me, don't get excited when you hear something for a while," Deng Deng's hand suddenly stopped, he seemed to have touched something, but he was frozen in the bag and couldn't take it out, "I The boss, some time ago—"

Li Bai tilted his head slightly, remained silent, his eyes were completely closed, and he concentrated on the black seam where Deng Deng's wrist was stuck.

"Just before departure, I received an invitation from an old friend in his business. His daughter is going to get married on October [-]th. He will definitely go to attend. The original plan was to play until November, but also because of this Go back early," Deng Deng paused, his voice trembling faintly, "I just saw that wedding invitation secretly, the bride is okay, it's the groom! I was really scared, I don't think I could explain clearly on the phone. Tell you face to face, I will secretly take it away..."

Li Bai listened quietly, his eyes wide open, and the candlelight on the table flickered in his pupils.Confused?Still too definite.His face had turned pale, but he didn't notice it, still staring at Deng Deng's wrist: "Have you brought it? Show me."

"Of course it may be the same name, I guess it is the same name!" Dengdeng actually stretched out his left hand, wanting to hold down his right hand, as if some evil monster would come out of his bag, "Do you know someone named Li Li?" Is it a girl? You don’t know me, do you?”

Li Bai didn't say a word anymore, Deng Deng's hand was pulled out by him, and the piece of Chinese red was held between his fingers.Li Bai opened the envelope. The jammed paper on the inside was pure white, smooth, and folded in the middle. He opened it and looked at it for a few seconds before realizing that it was reversed, so he read in another direction.

In fact, what is the point of adjusting or not?Some words can be understood just by looking at the shape at a glance.

Some things can be automatically associated by listening to the tone of voice, so I can make a rough guess.

Is this because of a tacit understanding, or is it because what has happened is so obvious that people will naturally perceive it, but they only discover it when they are punctured?

It seems that it doesn't matter which one it is, Li Bai has been mercifully given several minutes to react, thanks to the few minutes of Deng Deng's nonsense, his hands are not shaking, his breathing is not disordered, and his eyes are not blinking. His whole body was dead silent.

He was just in a daze for a while.

His eyes were not dazzled, his vision was not blurred, and his mind remained stable. He only felt that he was falling vertically, and he didn't feel that the world was spinning.Black ink on white paper is so concise and clear.From the beginning to the end, he looked at the name in the center of the invitation card, the thin and strong pen writing, the pen tip was indented on the cardboard, a bit like Xingkai, but the strokes and edges were sharper.

Li Bai recognized that font, he was very familiar with it.

It's like he stared at the word "cut" for so long that he almost didn't recognize it.
