I make a thriller, it's God chasing and feeding

Chapter 279 [Time]

In a daze, it has been four years.

Lu Zhengyi held A Yong and sat on the plane returning to China. Looking at Zhang Yu who was sleeping next to him, he felt a familiar feeling.

After taking pictures of the old corpse in the mountain village, they returned to Beidu together.

When the crew was filming, the only person Lu Zhengyi could rely on was Lao Zhang, so even in the later editing and production, he needed to help keep an eye on and give some advice.

But that was already four years ago.

As for the future, the number of people in the crew will increase, and his directing ability and vision will become more and more in-depth, so the opportunities for the two of them to be alone will become less and less.

Now, Lu Zhengyi is sitting next to him again, but he can't help but think of the high spirits they had four years ago when they were discussing on the plane whether the old corpse in the mountain village could succeed. When he looked away again, there was only a thin and thin man in front of him. Unlike before, Lao Zhang, whose face turned black, was soundly asleep.

He clearly felt the passage of time.

The two words "four years" are insignificant when presented in the form of words in a book.

Just like in the history books, the Chu-Han War lasted for four years. Liu Bang proclaimed himself emperor on the north bank of Sishui River and established the Han Dynasty. The four-year Chu-Han war finally ended with Liu Bang's victory.

A simple sentence summed up a battle that could change history.

Sometimes when people read history books, study history, and look at the past hundreds or thousands of years ago, they have a sense of déjà vu as they are reading a story.

But that's not a story, that's what really happened.

In 206 BC, after Liu Bang pacified Guanzhong, he began to prepare to march eastward. There is only one sentence in the book about this process, but how many preparations, sacrifices, and discussions with his advisers were made throughout the process, and how many times he hesitated before making the move. determined.

People can't really feel it from words.

Just like hundreds of years later, people in the future read the history that happened now, "In XXX, the well-known horror director Lu Zhengyi created the first work that changed the film and television market in the old Tang Dynasty." Every bit of what I have done in the past four years , perhaps to future generations, it is only the weight of a page of a book.

They will comment on their own lives arbitrarily and speculate on their likes and dislikes.

Even if there is a cultural gap, this meager page of my own may be erased from the long river of history.

This is time.

The glory and brilliance that a person carries throughout his life are only insignificant if the timeline is extended.

Although he has seen many people's birth, old age, illness and death, Lu Zhengyi still feels cruel every time he sees it.

Perhaps this is one of the reasons why I chose the movie.

People like movies, TV series, literature...

Perhaps it is because through these works, I can see a different life and stretch my original timeline longer.

"Well, here we are?"

When the flight attendant on the plane announced through the radio that he was about to get off the plane, Lao Zhang finally woke up from his sleep.

But he was not full of energy because of these several hours of sleep. Instead, his face was full of exhaustion.

After people reach a certain age, they sleep less and less.

Maybe it's because I can't sleep, but sometimes it's because the longer I sleep, the more tired I become physically and mentally.

I have almost forgotten the feeling of waking up refreshed when I was young.

"Well, we're here."

Lu Zhengyi smiled and nodded, "Get ready to get off the plane."

As he spoke, he picked up the cane he was leaning on and stood up.

And A Yong, who was sleeping in his arms, had climbed up to his shoulders neatly.

After learning that he was coming to see off Liang Meijuan's son, Liang Le, for the college entrance examination, Zhang Yu also made plans to come over.

The time he had known Liang Meijuan was not much shorter than that of Lu Zhengyi.

Although it was not very pleasant at first, everyone got along pretty well later, and it was a pity that something like that happened.

In fact, other people in the crew originally wanted to follow, but after all, it was the college entrance examination, and Lu Zhengyi did not want to disturb Liang Le's state, so he refused.

"Let's buy something later. Teacher Liang's old mother is still alive, right?" Zhang Yu also stood up and followed Lu Zhengyi from the aisle to get off the plane. "Let's prepare some nutritional supplements or something. It's not good to go empty-handed." past."

"Xue Ming is ready."

Lu Zhengyi picked up the luggage with one hand, "She heard me saying that she wanted to come over to see Teacher Liang's son, and she also wanted to take some time to come over."

"After all, she is in China and has already arrived first."

"She will drive to pick us up later."

Zhang Yu was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Mr. Zhang is interested."

"Fortunately, she is actually quite familiar with Teacher Liang."

Lu Zhengyi hesitated, "Of course, Teacher Liang is familiar with her unilaterally, but Xueming has never really met Teacher Liang."

After all, during that time, she was almost inseparable from him.

So in fact, Zhang Xueming should be more inclined to come together because of his commitment.

Husband and wife are one, and since he and Liang Meijuan have agreed to take care of her children until they grow up, this promise is actually related to Xueming after marriage.

While they were talking, they had already left the airport.

Soon, they found Zhang Xueming's car parked on the side of the road.

"Mr. Zhang."

Lao Zhang got into the car from the back seat and said hello first.

"Director Zhang, long time no see."

Zhang Xueming also nodded politely and responded.

Then, she looked at Lu Zhengyi, who opened the passenger door and got into the car, "Should we go there directly now?"

"Yes, I have told the nanny that we are going there."

Lu Zhengyi nodded, "During this period, Xiao Le is preparing for exams at home. He prefers to be alone at home rather than following the big guys at school."

Although some students apply to stay at home while preparing for exams, it is purely for fun.

But with Liang Le's previous self-consciousness, he was able to complete his learning tasks on his own even if he was not in school and without the supervision of a teacher.

"It sounds like Teacher Liang's son really loves to study." Zhang Yu sighed with emotion, "Unlike that brat from my family who spent a lot of money to go to cram schools, but in the end he didn't get the top prize or anything like that. It was all in vain. ”

As Zhang Xueming started the car, he listened to Lao Zhang's complaints from behind, his eyes a little subtle.

However, she did not speak.

"Okay, if you don't want to spend time taking care of him, what's the use of signing up for more cram schools."

Lu Zhengyi smiled and choked him.

"Okay, okay, I don't agree with you young people's ideas."

Compared to when there were two people, Zhang Yu was more willing to listen, but now that there was an extra person plus a cat, oh, and a snake, he was a little reluctant.

"But this Teacher Liang is a pity."

But then, he looked out the car window at the world outside, "It's better to die than to live. If I have the chance to be a ghost, I will definitely not want to leave."

"Don't you just have higher requirements for yourself? I can do it."

"As long as I don't leave, I'll do anything."

He didn't seem to understand why Teacher Liang didn't cherish his good fortune despite being so good.

"Everyone has their own choice."

Lu Zhengyi replied softly without saying much. He did not mention to Lao Zhang what Liu Baoning saw.

Just like what Li Zhenxi said, it's hard to say this kind of thing too straightforwardly.

Now I don’t know if Lao Zhang can survive.

If he knew this, his body would probably become worse and worse, and it would be time to go home and lie down in bed to wait for the end.

Many patients are like this. Before the cause was found out, they could still live a good life. They could talk and laugh while carrying rice bags upstairs, and they looked like they were fine.

But once it was found out, the whole person's appearance changed, and the aura of twilight radiated from the inside out.

But some things are not explained clearly, but the person involved can actually feel them to a certain extent.

At least from some of Lao Zhang's performances, Lu Zhengyi could sense that he should have felt it.

The plane arrived in Jiangcheng during the day. When we arrived in Liangxi, it was already afternoon.

When Lu Zhengyi's car arrived at Liang Le's community, he and the nanny were already waiting at the door.

"Director Lu."

Liang Le rushed to greet him.

He was wearing a short shirt and looked tall and clean.

Probably because he has been relatively autonomous and independent since he was a child, although Liang Le is only a high school senior who has just grown up, he already looks like an adult.

But it might also be because in the past, when Lu Zhengyi came to see him, he often wore his school uniform.

But now he is not wearing school uniform, but wearing regular clothes.

"Long time no see, kid."

Lu Zhengyi got out of the car first and said familiarly while looking him up and down, "Okay, I don't seem to be stressed at all because of tomorrow's college entrance examination."

"Because the score line of the target college I set for myself is not very high."

Liang Le said embarrassedly, "I told you on the phone before that I don't want to pursue those schools with high scores and high reputations. Jiaotong University in Xicheng. Based on my current simulated scores, I can't get into it." It’s relatively relaxed.”

"Jiaotong University in Xicheng is very good. Whether it is engineering, economics, trade, or management, it is a very good school."

In the driver's seat, Zhang Xueming rolled down the window and asked with a smile, "Can the car be driven directly in? Or should it be parked in the underground garage?"

"You, I'm so good, uh...Zhang, Zhang..."

Liang Le, who was originally talking to Lu Zhengyi, looked nervously at the person in the driver's seat and hesitated for a long time, not knowing whether to call him 'Aunt Zhang', 'Sister Xueming', 'Mr. Zhang...' or something like that. title.

"Call me Aunt Zhang."

Zhang Xueming reminded with a smile, "I am already in my early thirties, and you are more than one round behind me."

"Aunt Zhang."

Liang Le shouted obediently, although in appearance, both Lu Zhengyi and Zhang Xueming looked very young.

"And me, just call me Uncle Zhang."

In the back seat, Zhang Yu also opened the car door and got out, directly announcing his home, "Excuse me, I am Director Lu's assistant director. I stopped by this time. We will go back to China to film together in a few days."

He simply concealed his identity and the reason for his appearance, and did not directly say that he came just to see him.

At this juncture, there is no need for the children to focus on doubting the identities of several of them.

"Uncle Zhang."

Liang Le continued to speak obediently, but soon he quickly answered Aunt Zhang's question, "Car, just drive directly into the community. There are public parking spaces outside. If you park temporarily, it will be fine."

Under his command, Zhang Xueming drove into the community and found an open space to park.

After parking the car, they began to unload the gifts they brought this time from the car. In addition to some basic health products, she even bought some stationery for the exam.

Liang Le was basically talking to them throughout the whole process.

The female nanny Lu Zhengyi hired for him, except for saying hello at the beginning, was always there to act as a helper.

After all, this nanny is actually a little girl, only in her twenties, and is not that skilled in the world of people.

A group of people went upstairs in a lively manner. Of course Lu Zhengyi carried his things first to find the old mother of the Liang family.

The old man was still lying on the bed as before.

However, the appearance was incomparable to the one he saw when he first came here, and it seemed that he didn't have many days left.

But this time, as soon as Zhang Yu entered the room, he just said hello and left for the living room.

He didn't dare to stay in the house, as if he was afraid of the old man.

Or rather, fear of death.

He saw his own shadow in the old man lying on the bed.

"This time, I mainly heard that Xiaole is going to take the college entrance examination."

"I am considered a half-guardian, so I have to come over and have a look. Don't worry, old man. I will stay here while he takes the college entrance examination in the past few days."

"When the time comes, we will send him to the examination room and make sure he is not alone."

And when Liang Le left with the female nanny and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner, Lu Zhengyi looked at the emaciated old man lying on the bed and said, "He will have what other children have, don't worry."

"thanks, thanks……"

The old man spoke in a hoarse voice with a strong accent.

She struggled to support her body and wanted to get up from the bed, but she had no strength.

Although the words were difficult to understand, the gratitude in his tone was extremely clear.

Lu Zhengyi's soft and wrinkled old man's hand comforted her to lie down again, and whispered that Liang Le's well-behaved and promising nature made the old man happier.

Zhang Xueming stood nearby, watching this scene quietly.

Although in her career, she is often able to talk with ease to potential partners she has just met, without making the atmosphere awkward or stiff at all.

But she is actually not good at talking to family members about such common things.

Not to mention, saying some heart-warming words to an old man in such a gentle voice.

Inexplicably, Zhang Xueming felt that Lu Zhengyi's body seemed to be radiating light.

In fact, he didn't have to do this at all.

The smell of old people is not pleasant, especially for those who are seriously ill and can hardly take care of themselves.

It's just because of respect for their elders, because of morality, because of the attention of the public... many people deeply hide this dislike, and only discuss it behind their backs with those close to them, rather than showing it to their faces.

But she could tell that Lu Zhengyi didn't care about the smell in the air.

He doesn't actually need to reach this point, just because of a promise, he has done enough.

According to what Zhang Xueming knew about Liang Meijuan, as a daughter and as a mother, she might not be as caring as Lu Zhengyi, an outsider.

Not only providing financial assistance, but also giving advice and companionship to Liang Le's life on some festivals or important matters.

And is this just because of a promise?

Before, Zhang Xueming had always felt that there was a sense of distance between the two after learning about Lu Zhengyi's emotional deficiencies.

Although she didn't show it, she always felt that the other party was acting and playing the role of a good husband.

But now she has some doubts, does the other party really have no emotions?

And if it doesn't, does it matter?
