469 Challenge yourself
The lungs were like bellows, hula and hula, and the sound was so noisy that I began to dislike it, and my feet were gradually losing sensation, and even if I moved forward, I could not feel pain or soreness, but I walked mechanically and numbly, but I could not stop to rest, because once I stopped, it was difficult to get up again.
Sweat poured out in large drops, almost reaching its boiling point in the sunlight, and then a mist erupted, enveloping the whole person as if in a sauna, and a thin layer of particles scattered on the surface of the skin, and the part near the elbows and forearms, with the waving of the arms, scattered like dust, which was the salt lost by the body.
The hot air, the bitter wind, the hot and cold environment make people suffer, except for focusing on their own steps, there is no time to think, the whole brain is withdrawn little by little, and finally only a blank is left, adjusting the breathing, paying attention to the soles of the feet, enjoying the scenery, step by step, gradually reaching the limit of the body, the whole world is left with itself.
Fight against yourself, cooperate with yourself, get along with yourself.
On this lonely and long road, the performance and the trivial things of life have all been left behind, Lan Li is no longer an actor, nor is he a reborn, just an ordinary person, an ordinary human being, in front of nature, feel his own insignificance, learn to be pious, learn to be humble, and learn to be sincere.
The work "Fighting Cancer" gave Lan Li the opportunity to regain the opportunity for self-examination, about Chu Jiashu's ten years of bed rest, about Adam's death sentence, about the exploration of performance, about the fear of death, about the meaning of survival, about freedom and the pursuit of dreams...... The precipitation and experience of the two lives of human beings, the color of life began to become colorful.
For the time being, all the things about the performance are put aside, and Lan Li is enjoying her hard-won second life again.
The Grand Canyon National Park is truly a magical land, with the grandeur of the cliffs, the wonders of the changing landscape, and the beauty of the waterfalls, before starting to hike in the direction of the Pacific Ocean, through the desert and the Gobi, in search of the oasis hidden behind the rocky mountains.
Whether it's surfing or rock climbing, it's all about challenging the limits of nature, while hiking is about walking with nature and challenging your own limits, but at the same time, every minute and every second of the challenge is so magical.
The footsteps continued to move forward, but Lan Li had already felt another protest from his body, and this was obviously not the first time today. He reached behind his backpack, pulled out the kettle, and shook it, and there was less than a third of the storage left in it, and it was only three o'clock in the afternoon, at least three hours, if not four hours, before the scheduled camping time.
The consumption of water is somewhat higher than expected.
Turn on the kettle and take a small sip, then another sip. Then, Lan Li stuffed the kettle back into the backpack, and at the same time opened the small backpack on the right side of the backpack, took out the banana wrapped in plastic wrap, broke off half of it, wrapped the remaining banana again, and put it into the small backpack. While eating a banana, we continued on our way.
Turning the corner, the field of vision suddenly became wider, and the tender green grass was spread out like a carpet, and a few trees of unknown species stood among them, opening their lush canopies to block the scorching sun, forming a dense shade, like a desert oasis, bringing a touch of coolness.
As I was thinking about whether I should rest and adjust here, or continue to hurry, I saw a pair of legs in the middle of the road, and it seemed that I was not resting, but that my body was in trouble.
This is not uncommon during hiking, and they often meet fellow hikers, and when they encounter difficulties, even strangers they have never met before, will lend each other a hand. It's not a convention, it's more of a tacit understanding. At the beginning of the hike, Lan Li misjudged the direction due to his lack of experience, resulting in walking into the deep mountains and old forests, if it were not for the help of senior hikers, it is estimated that he would be lost in no man's land.
Without any hesitation, Lan Li quickened his pace slightly, and at the same time shouted loudly, "Do you need help?" However, there was no response, Lan Li strode forward, his tired body regained some strength, and then the figure of that person appeared in his sight-
He lay motionless on the ground, ignoring the heat and roughness of the ground, the sunhat on his head also fell to the side, and the backpack behind him was like a rock, pressing heavily, where his body fell to the ground, a few steps away from the shade area, his right hand was still trying to stretch forward, as if touching the shade, but at this time he was unconscious, the sun was unscrupulously exposed, and the skin of his naked/exposed arms had become red and red, and he did not know that he had been raging for several hours.
It seems that the other party should be walking in the sun, because of dehydration caused by physical exhaustion, originally wanted to go to a cool place to rest for a while, but could not support the destination, directly fell to the ground.
Lan Li walked forward quickly, unloaded the backpack, put it aside, and patted the other party's cheek, but the other party didn't react, just muttered a few meaningless syllables.
Lan Li carefully flipped the other party over, grabbed his shoulders, and dragged him towards the shade of the tree, and after dodging the pursuit of the scorching sun, he skillfully opened his backpack, pulled out a square scarf, then opened the water glass, carefully poured a little onto the square scarf, and dipped his fingertips in some water stains, and gently sprinkled these water stains on the other party's cheeks.
In fact, it's best if there are spray bottles at this point. But Lan Li didn't carry it, and he had to deal with it in an emergency.
Immediately afterwards, Lan Li gently wiped the roots of the other party's ears, forehead, chin and neck with a wet square towel, and then took out the cooling oil, applied a little bit on the roots behind the other party's ears and the middle of the person, and then repeated the wipe with the square towel again.
"Ugh. The corners of the other party's mouth lightly overflowed, and Lan Li's emergency rescue measures had an effect, but Lan Li still didn't feel at ease, opened the kettle, and didn't rush to feed the other party water, but dipped his fingertips in clean water and applied it to the other party's lips.
After waiting for a while, the other party woke up, opened his eyes, and sat up with all his strength, Lan Li handed the kettle forward, and motioned, "Drink a little water." You look dehydrated. Other than that, is there any discomfort in your body?"
The other party didn't speak, but took the kettle, because he was too weak, his hands trembled slightly, and he almost dropped the kettle, but fortunately, Lan Li held the kettle in time, which avoided the "cup".
After the other party took four or five sips of water in a row, he came to his senses and said, "Thank you." But the hoarse voice was tearing at his throat, he raised his hand, pinched his faintly aching throat, examined his body carefully, and said again, "Thank you." I...... I'm fine. The words were said intermittently, but the spirit had gradually recovered.
Lan Li made sure that the other party held the kettle, then turned around, opened the backpack again, took out the remaining half of the banana, and also found a four-bar chocolate, although the chocolate has softened a little due to the high temperature, but during the hike, the lack of supplies, this is an invaluable thing.
"Replenish your energy. Lan Li handed over the things, and then took out the map placed in the mezzanine, "The next supply point, there are still ...... from here" Lan Li carefully confirmed, "Three miles." Can you stick to it? Or will I go first, call the ambulance crews, and let them come. ”
The other party didn't answer, and Lan Li didn't care, his eyes still stayed on the map, confirming the rest of the day. His original plan was to pass by the supply point, not stop, continue on his way, and then camp in the wilderness depending on the sky, but now that the unexpected situation has happened, he has decided to leave his water resources to the other party, at least half of which will be given to the other side, so his plan needs to be adjusted.
After a moment of silence, the other party's weak chuckle sounded in his ears, "You really didn't recognize me?" ”
Lan Li was stunned, raised his head and looked over, the face that had become red due to excessive exposure to the sun even showed an abnormal brown, but the eyes left two whitening leads, which should be the traces left by wearing sunglasses, which made the proportions of the whole face strange, and even the facial features seemed to have moved their positions, and the visual effect affected the judgment.
“…… Roy Lockley?"
After recognizing it for a while, Lan Li raised his voice uncertainly, and then he could see a bright brilliance in the other party's eyes, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "I didn't expect you to remember me." ”
Lan Li opened his mouth slightly, even though he said the other party's name, he still couldn't believe that the two of them would meet again in such a wilderness.
Roy Lockley, the official agent of the Screen Actors Guild, was handled by Roy when Lan Li signed the "Pacific War", and later, Roy also helped review and sign the "buried alive" performance contract.
After that, Lanli signed Andy Rogers and had his own agent, so the two had no chance to intersect. Unexpectedly, the two of them met again on such an occasion.
Although it was only a few short contacts, Lan Li made a deep impression on Roy. Roy took the initiative to mention Lan Li, even if it was not his own job, showing a good quality of responsibility, and more importantly, Roy was a neat and resolute person, and in the process of cooperation, he could be described as a good partner.
Lan Li's eyes flashed with surprise, and her smile couldn't help but add a touch of banter, "I won't forget the agent who brought my first contract to my career as an actor." ”
"It's just handling, not brought. Roy corrected him seriously.
