Chapter 18 Chapter 17 "People"

Zhang Shilai fell among the reeds, his face stuck to the ground, gasping for breath, his whole body was wet, his hair stuck to his frighteningly white face, under such circumstances, his face was still intact. With childishness, but the shadow of death makes his childishness look extremely sad. From under his right side, there were still faint blood oozing out, he lay down for a while, then struggled to sit up again, only then did he see clearly that his right hand was still holding the sharp knife tightly. Moreover, after he sat up, he bit the sharp blade tightly in his mouth, and pulled off the wet clothes with both hands until the upper body skin was exposed, and he saw the gun hole in his left breast.

He took off the sharp blade, first pressed his hand around the wound, then suddenly inserted the tip of the knife into the wound, and with a flick of his wrist, a bullet was picked out for him. His movements became very fast, he cut open the clothes with a sharp knife, cut them into strips, and tied up the wound tightly. Then, amidst the violent coughing sound, he slowly stood up. This person's vitality is actually so strong! The bullet must have injured his lung lobe, so during his violent coughing, blood foam appeared from the corner of his mouth. The lung is naturally a very important part of human organs, and its organization is quite peculiar.A normal person has five lung lobes, three on the left and two on the right, which are not symmetrical. At this time, Zhang Shilai naturally injured one of the three left lung lobes.Because the lung lobes are full of bronchi and blood vessels, Zhang Shilai coughed violently and coughed up blood after being injured.

But because each lung lobe is divided into several lung segments, and the connective tissue between the lung segments is separated, so one lung segment is injured, and the injury is not easy to expand for a while, and the rest of the lung is still operating normally, so it is stretched. There will be no fear of his life for the time being when he picks it up, what will happen in the future will naturally depend on how well he can be recuperated. He staggered forward, the reed stalks rubbed against his body, and the reed flowers stuck to his wet face. He didn't care about anything, just gritted his teeth and walked forward, with one foot high and one foot low, without looking Looking straight ahead, there was an extremely unpredictable brilliance shining in his eyes, that brilliance was actually the same as the sharp blade in his hand, the brilliance shining on the body of the knife.

When he walked into the denser reeds and disappeared, there was a long period of stillness—not real stillness, just the reed flowers swaying in the breeze, with no sign of people. (Bai Lao Dao: "The master of Zizitang later became the leader. After being the leader for several years, he was killed when he left. It can be seen that although Zhang Shilai did not die, he had no chance to take revenge. The death of Master Zhang a few years later , and it may not be Zhang Shilai's hand.") (Bai Su is a bit stubborn: "But Zhang Shilai must go back.") (I haven't said anything yet: Bai Su added another sentence: "For Yinhua'er, he should go back.")

(I disagree: "This is basically an action movie, filming all kinds of ugly behaviors of people in front of gold, all kinds of cruelty of people in cannibalism, not a great literary tragedy of love.") (Bai Su disagreed: "The film is about human behavior, and love is an extremely important part of human behavior. Between men and women who really love each other, the ugly side of human nature does not exist.") (Again, I disagree: "You're talking about real love, and I don't think there's real love between an impotent killer and a whore.") (Bai Su disagrees again: "You are wrong, the more abnormal the mentality of a person, the more he will have a true love that will last until death under special circumstances.")

(Boss Bai yelled: "Stop arguing, what's the matter, what's so good about those reeds?") (As soon as Boss Bai yelled, the picture changed.) The river flow is even more turbulent, with cliffs on both sides, the river is quite narrow, and the rushing water is like a waterfall washing away. In the river water, many people are soaked up to their chests. Among the many people, most of them are holding hands , with ropes tied to their bodies to fix their bodies and prevent them from being washed away by the turbulent water. Every few people, there is a body that can make partial movements, and their movements are almost the same—take a deep breath, then bend down, the whole person is submerged in the water, and there is a kind of basket made of bamboo in their hands. , straightened up vigorously, and the bamboo baskets were full of stones shoveled from the bottom of the river, and then they shook the bamboo baskets to make the stones roll in the river water, and then picked up small pieces of shiny stones. The golden nuggets of light come.

In front of them, there is a rope pulling back and forth. The two ends of the rope are connected to the pulleys of the wooden piles on the river bank. Someone pulls the rope, and the rope moves. The trembling hand that picked up the shiny gold nugget from the basket, when the leather pocket moved in front of them, put the gold nugget into the leather pocket, and then repeated the action. On the river section, such rows of people submerged in the water stretched out, seemingly endlessly, and the range of their movements was not too large, so if they could not see up close, they would never look like people.But at a close look, they are of course human, although their eyes are dull, their faces are blue, their lips are black, and their skin is covered with prickly heat, but they are of course human.

The leather pocket was constantly twitching, and when they reached the bank of the river, someone took out the gold nuggets from the leather pocket and put them into a wooden box made of hardwood. The people on the river beach seem to be more human than those immersed in the ice-cold river water. They move vigorously and shout at the people immersed in the river water from time to time. When the box was filled with gold nuggets and the lid was closed, several more human-looking people came up to monitor the scales, sealed them, carried them over, and showed them to another person sitting on a bamboo chair.

The person sitting on the bamboo chair naturally had an extraordinary air, holding a ballpoint pen, and drawing a monogram on the seal of the box. The actual distance between people will not exceed fifty meters, but the real distance between people is more than half a million kilometers. Wearing a fine fur coat with rolled up sleeves, the fine hair is blown away in the wind , hands forming beautiful patterns, drawing monograms on the seal of the box, how do you know what kind of suffering people who are immersed in the ice-cold river water are suffering at this time? The boxes were carried by people one by one, held by the knife hand, and walked downstream. The people who carried the boxes made rhythmic calls, and the people who were immersed in the river did not even look at them—that was The gold nuggets they scooped up from the bottom of the river can also be said to be exchanged for their lives—no one can enjoy a normal life span after being immersed in such cold river water for many years. They took the gold nugget and left the bottom of the river, but the gold nugget did not belong to them at all.

The box containing the gold nuggets was finally transported into the warehouse made of huge stones. At sunset, the door of the warehouse was locked, and the person who locked the door was the original Zizitang hall master.At this time, he buckled the dagger with the golden dragon on the handle on the upper of his boots. It seems that he has become the leader of the dragon logically, and there is an unconcealable smug look on his gloomy face . Then, it got dark suddenly, and what appeared on the screen was a shack that I had seen before—the original shack of Yinhua'er.There were a dozen or so men outside the door, some were leaning against the door with their hands crossed, some were squatting in a circle and were throwing dice, some were walking back and forth, all of them had very fierce expressions on their faces, sticking to their arms , all have short knives.

Inside the door, there was a man's voice that sounded like a beast's cry. Not long after the sound fell silent, the door opened, a strong man came out, and another strong man outside the door walked in. The burly man who came out stood still outside the door with his head lowered, another burly man slowly approached him, he raised his head and said with a wry smile: "After a few months, I no longer look like a human being, really... ...Alas, Zhang Shilai must be dead, otherwise, Yinhuaer is the person he chose, and he has to face such torture." The other lowered his voice extremely low: "If he steps forward, he will die, will he? The strong man shook his head sadly: "I only hope that he will not show up. If he comes, he will die, but who knows how many of us will be left here?" The other shrank his head with a horrified look on his face. (I couldn't help shouting: "This...is too much, even if there is such a fact, it can be changed, why bother to shoot it?") (Bai Lao Dao: "It's already considered a dark scene.") (I couldn't help shivering. Really, it's already a dark scene. What would it be like to shoot Yinhua'er being tortured by these strong men in the shack?) (I glanced at Bai Su, she pursed her lips tightly, showing a rare kind of anger.) (Suddenly there was a shrill cry from the shack. It was Yinhua'er's voice. The cry was terrifying. It was so sharp that the three of us stood up involuntarily.) (At this moment, the screen suddenly becomes blank.) There was no sound, no picture, for about a minute. In that minute, Yin Hua'er's screams seemed to still be lingering in her ears. Then, there was the blue sky and white clouds, which seemed to be a very calm sky. In the sky, a group of wild geese were fluttering their wings and flying south, forming a huge "person" character in the sky. The group of wild geese gradually flew away, and the characters for "person" formed by them sometimes changed slightly, but it still looked like a character for "person", until the geese flew farther, and the characters for "person" formed by them It has become smaller and smaller, but it is still a "person". It lasted quite a long time, and I said, "The director intentionally took in this group of wild geese, and the wild goose row became the word "people", which means the director's subjectivity, and wants to show how unbearable human behavior is." Bai Su only corrected one point: "I want to show people's unbearable behavior." It sounds like what I said is similar to what Bai Su said, but naturally there are quite a few differences. After the wild geese flew out of sight, we were all silent, and no one wanted to talk at this moment. The shot of wild geese flying in the clear sky just now was very beautifully shot, and the time was quite long, about five minutes.In a film, there should be such a long empty shot, it should be very dull. However, it was quite different from the "strange lens" we saw last time, which was aimed at the river beach for more than ten minutes.After being arranged in the shape of "person" and flying towards the sky, the character "person" can be seen all the time on the screen, which is very thought-provoking. Especially, after seeing so many fierce fights, the temptation of gold, the treachery of the human heart, and even a love affair between a man and a woman under such a peculiar situation, seeing such a scene, I don't feel that this time is so difficult at all. Long and boring, I just think there should be such a pause, so that people can take a breath and think about everything that happened in this mysterious, primitive, and savage area, whether it is normal human behavior or abnormal human behaviour. After the geese finally disappeared, leaving only the blue sky and white clouds, a series of white clouds in the sky changed and moved rapidly. This was of course a special effect filmed in slow motion and projected at normal speed.Then, the strange scene came again. That was really a weird scene that shouldn't have happened, and I, Boss Bai, and Bai Su were all stunned.
