Chu Lun couldn't believe his eyes!
He stared ahead, his heart was pounding, and for a moment, he forgot to raise his camera.Originally, as soon as he saw something novel and peculiar, he immediately raised the camera. That was the professional instinct he had cultivated over the years. He would never miss a precious shot. Received an international award.
However, what he saw now was too shocking for him, he just stared blankly at what he saw, unable to do anything else.
Cullen is a photographer, or rather, a photojournalist.To be more specific, he is a freelance photojournalist.His profession is photography, he travels all over the world, takes various pictures, and then sells the pictures to news agencies, magazines, newspapers.
It's a pretty good career, especially for someone who already loves adventure, excitement, travel and photography.
Chu Lun once took photos of left-wing guerrilla activities in the virgin jungles of Central America; he once took photos of secret society meetings in the Golden Triangle region of Asia; Footsteps; once in the deep sea 1,000 meters, photographed the moment when a whale gave birth to a small fish...
Chu Lun once used his camera to record the crash of a rocket car at a speed of 600 kilometers per hour; he also used a special instrument to capture the extremely beautiful structure of violet flower pollen.
In the process of his professional photography, he encountered many adventures. The dictator of a country in Africa dispatched the military and police of the country to hunt him down because he took a cruel scene. According to his own Said that in the mud, he grabbed the tail of a large crocodile and fled the country.
For a person who has had such an experience, there should be nothing that can shock him, but at this moment, Chu Lun was really stunned.The place where Qiu Lun was at this time was extremely calm. It was a meadow by a small lake, with green grass and wild flowers. There were a few old trees by the lake, with twisted roots, half submerged in the water.On the grass by the lake, Cullen spread a checkered tablecloth, on which was a bamboo basket with fine wine and food, and a radio, playing melodious music.
On the other side of the small lake, there are several small boats parked near the lake shore, and there are people fishing in the small boats.Occasionally, there are a few water birds passing low on the water surface, making the calm lake water splash in circles.
This is an ideal place for vacation, most suitable for spending time quietly with your lover.
And that's exactly what Cullen came here for.Ten days ago, after he met Haiwen at the reception, this was already the third date.
A few seconds ago, Qiu Lun was still staring blankly at Hai Wen's back, his long hair was fluttering with the breeze, Hai Wen was sitting on a tree root near the lake, and was using a branch to gently pat The lake water, and Cullen was about to get closer and say something to her that he had been thinking about for days, but couldn't find the right time to say it.
Such an environment, such a situation, should be a suitable moment to say this sentence.In his thirty-two years of life, Chu Lun had said countless words, but he had never said these words to the opposite sex he loved, so he still hesitated a lot even though he knew it was the best moment.
If he hadn't hesitated for a moment, he wouldn't have heard the slight sound behind him, and he wouldn't have turned his head to see the shocking and bewildered situation.
But he hesitated, so he heard the sound, he turned his head, and he saw the man.
Don't think that he saw a strange man with eight eyes, six legs, and tentacles on his head. Absolutely not. What he saw was just an ordinary person. That person was about 170 centimeters tall and had an unusual complexion. The ground is pale, with absent-minded eyes, just behind him, less than ten meters away, standing, absent-minded eyes are not even looking at Chu Lun, but just staring at the radio that is broadcasting music on the grass.
That person was wearing an extremely peculiar piece of clothing, it was simply a piece of cloth wrapped around a person's body.
What made Qiu Lun so surprised in an instant was of course this person. Even when he had a picnic with the woman he liked, Qiu Lun carried his camera with him, but for a moment, he even forgot to hold it up. Come.
Chu Lun knew this person, absolutely.
Just half a month ago, Qiu Lun took a picture of him. Qiu Lun took a picture of him about fifteen meters away from this person, and this person was facing more than 100,000 people. The crowd is giving a speech.
This person is the head of an Asian country who has just seized power through an extremely meticulous conspiracy, General Ziluo.
General Zillow made his first public speech after taking office as the head of state. Almost every word he said aroused the applause of tens of thousands of people.Chu Lun was fully equipped for photography, squeezed up to the left side of the podium, and took pictures of General Zillow who was in high spirits.
His press credentials were chartered and extremely scrutinized in advance, but because he was crowded so close, when he raised his camera, two security guards had moved, one with the butt of a gun on his belly , bumped hard, and another immediately snatched his camera.There were also two plain clothes behind him, twisting his arms backwards.
It was not the first time that Qiu Lun encountered such a situation. He wanted to open his mouth to yell, but the one behind him had already covered his mouth, preventing him from making any sound.A few well-trained security guards rushed over and formed a human wall to block the sight of the rest. So, Chu Lun was pushed, pulled, and stuffed into a small truck. Drove away.
It wasn't until six hours later, that night, that Qiu Lun was called out from a secret room, his eyes were covered with a black cloth, and he was pushed into the car. After about half an hour, he was pushed out again, and walked ten miles. Minutes later, he stopped and untied the black cloth that blindfolded him.
The light was bright and dazzling, and Cullen was in a magnificently furnished room, behind a huge writing desk, sitting General Zillow.
There were several enlarged photos on the desk, and Chu Lun could see that those photos of General Zillow's demeanor during his speech were his own works, that is, he took them before he was arrested.General Zilo looked at the photo with a look of satisfaction.After the security guard whispered something to General Zillow, General Zillow raised his head and stared at Chu Lun: "How many heads of state have you taken pictures for?"
Qiu Lun took a breath: "More than thirty."
General Zilo nodded: "Yes, the photo, where are you going to publish it?"
Qiu Lun said: "Of course it is a worldwide newspaper and magazine."
General Zilo pointed to the photo: "On my left cheek, there are two moles side by side. Why are you exaggerating these two moles?"
Qiu Lun said: "I think this can better show Your Excellency's strong and unyielding character."
Zi Luo looked at the photo and nodded slowly: "The security guard reported to me that your actions at that time were too extreme, so they detained you. It was just a misunderstanding. I hope you don't take offense."
Qiu Lun was a little flattered, and hurriedly said, "Of course not."
General Zilo stood up. He was not tall, about 170 centimeters, but he looked very mighty. He waved his hand: "You can get everything back. I hope you don't make reports that are not good for us."
Chu Lun said: "I never write articles and reports, but only take pictures, and camera reports are always the most faithful."
General Zillow smiled, looked sideways at the photo, and touched the two rather large moles on his left cheek, looking very satisfied.
The meeting with General Zilo this time left a deep impression on Chu Lun, so Qiu Lun could immediately recognize that the person in front of him was General Qiluo with his keen observation ability as a photographer.
The two moles on General Zillow's left cheek were characteristic features of his appearance, and Cullen could undoubtedly recognize them immediately.
This person, other than General Zillow, cannot be another person.
But how did General Zillo appear here, by a small lake in Europe?He's on vacation?He has just gained power not long ago, and he is working day and night to eradicate the opposition forces and consolidate his regime. How can he have such leisure and leisure?
What's more, even if he came to vacation, it would definitely be a worldwide news, because General Zillow is one of the world's most influential figures this year.
When Qiu Lun looked at the man in front of him, he was dazed in astonishment and forgot all his actions, that man was still just staring at the radio on the grass, as if he had never seen anything that could make a sound in his life.
Qiu Lun's astonishment only lasted for a very short time, about half a minute.
Then, involuntarily, he let out an exclamation and pointed at the person in front of him.The man was alarmed by his exclamation, and looked at him with a look of extreme horror.
When Qiu Lun made any further moves, he saw a car speeding towards him.The car was the kind used in ordinary golf courses. It was coming very fast, and it rushed to the front. Besides the driver, there were two strong men in the car.
Before the car stopped, the two strong men jumped down and ran towards the man who was staring at Qiu Lun in horror. They quickly and skillfully grabbed the man and pushed him into the car. The car sped away again immediately.
Chu Lun woke up from extreme shock, and he yelled again: "Hey, what are you doing?" He jumped up while yelling, and chased forward.But the car was driving very fast, and Chu Lun immediately found that he could not catch up with the car. He still ran forward, holding up the camera, and kept pressing the shutter until all the film in the camera was taken.
Qiu Lun ran onto the road, looked at the car, turned into a small road in front of the road, and at the end of the road was a red brick building that looked quite old.The car was speeding towards the building.
Chu Lun couldn't see whether the car drove into the red brick building, because there was a forest in front of the building, and after the car drove into the woods, Chu Lun could no longer see it.
When Qiu Lun came back to the lake panting for breath, he couldn't help but smile wryly. The girlfriend Hai Wen he invited had a sullen face, and she seemed ready to leave. The bamboo basket and the radio on the tablecloth were gone. It is unknown where the radio is, but the bamboo basket is floating on the lake, and floating near the bamboo basket is a bottle of fine wine that he has carefully selected.
Qiu Lun spread his hands and wanted to explain a few words, but he really didn't know what to say. After hesitating for a while, he finally said, "I...just now...suddenly saw a person!"
Haiwen didn't even look at him, and said coldly: "When you see a person, you will go crazy. There are 4.2 billion people in the world."
Qiu Lun wanted to explain again that the person he saw was General Ziluo, the head of state of a country, but Qiu Lun didn't say anything more, because he suddenly discovered that no matter how beautiful a woman is, if she gets angry without asking why, she will not be angry. Cute, on the contrary, he was a little glad that he didn't say that sentence that he had been planning for a few days just now.
Hai Wen was obviously still waiting for Qiu Lun's apology, but Qiu Lun said: "It seems that you want to go back? I'm sorry, I have something to do, please find a car to go back by yourself."
As soon as Qiu Lun said these words, his vision blurred, and then there was a "pat" sound. Before he knew what happened, he heard Hai Wen's roar again.There was a sudden sharp pain on his face.Only then did he realize that he had been slapped.And when he regained his composure and turned his head to look, Haiwen had already walked towards the road. It seemed that Haiwen would easily intercept a passing car on the road.
Qiu Lun touched his hot cheek and smiled wryly.
Hai Wen is a translator for the United Nations agency. She is beautiful and has many suitors. After getting to know Qiu Lun, she has a certain affection for Qiu Lun.If Qiu Lun hadn't hesitated before he wanted to say that to Hai Wen, the future development would be very different.Now, of course, no matter how much scheming is spent, it will not help.
Afterwards, Hai Wen was still very angry. When talking about Qiu Lun, he gritted his teeth and made the following comment: "This man is crazy, for no reason, when he should say 'I love you', he would appear to have epilepsy He screamed like he was sick. He would leave the woman on the outskirts of more than 50 kilometers away from the city, and ask his girlfriend to go back by herself! There is no man in the world who is more asshole than him, huh, fortunately, he showed me his true face, and he was not caught. He lied."
The reviews were, of course, extremely bad.But whether it was good or bad, it really didn't make any difference to Chu Lun, because Qiu Lun had no chance to hear her comments.
On Chu Lun, something happened again, or rather, an extreme accident happened.
Qiu Lun watched as Hai Wen stopped a car driven by a blond man, Qiu Lun waved his hand, Hai Wen didn't even look back.Cullen walked to his own car.
When he came to the side of the car, a man who looked like a homeless man came to him with a smiling face: "Sir, did you quarrel with your girlfriend?"
Qiu Lun snorted, but did not answer. The man said again: "What a pity, I also saw her throw a bottle of wine into the lake. It must be a good bottle of wine?"
Chu Lun sighed: "Yes, in 1949."
The man let out a sharp whistle: "A woman who ruins fine wine is an unforgivable crime."
Qiu Lun smiled wryly, and opened the car door. At that moment, his heart suddenly moved: "At the other end of the road, there is a small road. At the end of the road, behind a forest, there is a red brick building. That is-- "
The homeless man said: "That's a private sanatorium—" He then made another grimace: "Most of them are mental patients, and they receive treatment there."
Chu Lun let out an "oh", he remembered, the man who surprised him, the clothes on his body looked very strange, it seemed that they were worn by the patients in the mental hospital.
If it was a mental hospital, one of the patients escaped and was taken back, that is a very common thing, why is this person looking exactly like General Zillow?
Qiu Lun was taken aback, and the homeless man said again, "Sir, are you interested in a mental hospital?"
Chu Lun waved his hand: "Who would be interested in a mental hospital? But, but..."
Qiu Lun didn't know what to say. He had doubts in his heart and wanted to find someone to talk to, but he definitely wouldn't be bored enough to tell a tramp he didn't know.So, without further ado, he got into the car.Unexpectedly, as soon as he got into the car, the homeless man honestly opened the door on the other side and sat down beside him.
Chu Lun stared at the homeless man, and the homeless man smiled at him: "Sir, can you give me a ride?"
Qiu Lun was a little angry: "Where are you going?"
The tramp made a gesture: "Whatever."
Qiu Lun sighed, took some banknotes, and gave them to the homeless man, but the other man showed a very aggrieved expression: "Sir, I am not a beggar, and I don't want alms from others, unless you want me to do something."
Qiu Lun couldn't help but laugh: "Okay, I want you to get out of the car immediately."
The tramp looked even more aggrieved, and shouted: "This is a great insult."
Qiu Lun was helpless: "Okay, you... for me..."
Qiu Lun really couldn't think of anything he could ask the homeless man to do, but in a flash, he thought: "Okay, you can make a call for me, a long-distance call, to a friend of mine who lives in the East."
The homeless man cheered up: "Happy to help, what should I say?"
Qiu Lun said: "You tell him that I am here and met General Zillow, that's all. My name is Qiu Lun, and my friend is Wesley."
Chu Lun handed the money to the homeless man. The homeless man took the money and got out of the car happily. Qiu Lun drove the car, turned into the path, and drove towards the forest.
I put down the phone and looked up at Bai Su who was sitting on the sofa: "Crazy!" Bai Su didn't even raise his head. I said again: "Qiulun, this guy specially asked someone to make a long-distance call, saying that he saw General Zilo, a military strongman, by a small lake in Europe." Bai Su glanced at the newspaper on the table. On the first page of the newspaper, there was a photo of General Zilo. The order to open fire on neighboring countries was news that shook the world. I said again: "This man is always insane, thinking about insider news like crazy. General Zillow—what does the newspaper say?" Bai Su said: "It is said in the newspaper that he will personally lead the army to attack the neighboring country, it seems that he is a lunatic." I didn't say anything, and continued with my work before the call, not paying attention to the call at all--calls like this, if I were serious, would not be enough for two hundred and forty hours a day. Bai Su conveniently picked up the newspaper, flipped through it, and suddenly said: "The newsletter says that General Zi Luo's favorite photo is taken by Qiu Lun, and he has really seen him." I said: "Yes, but definitely not by a small lake in the middle of Europe." Bai Su was still flipping through the newspaper, and after a while, she said again: "It turns out that when Chu Lun took the picture of General Zilo, he He was arrested by security guards." I put down the work at hand and straightened my body: "You always mention Chu Lun and General Zilo, what do you want to explain?" Bai Su smiled: "I want to explain that Qiu Lun has met Zi Luo, and Zi Luo is very impressed. He should not mistake someone." I snorted: "I'm judging based on the facts. Besides, even if he met General Zillow by a small lake in central Europe, so what?" Bai Su said "hmm": "Yes, even if it is, it's nothing special." She said, let go of the newspaper, and stopped discussing this matter with me. When I started working again, I looked at the desk calendar, and that day was March 24th.
