Chapter 2: The Night Walker
Chapter 2: The Night Walker
Wen Jiang's unexpired advertising contract does not have any restrictions on hairstyles.
Before filming "The Old Man", Wen Jiang planned to stop work for a few months after the drama was completed.
Since entering the industry, he has been busy touring as a singer; After becoming an actress, she was even busier, and she even rolled up dramas in order to fight for more opportunities.
Now that her career is successful, she wants to walk around the world and think seriously about what she left behind in the busy days of the previous few years.
The first half of this life to the present, can't end up in vain, except for loss, there is no gain.
In the past, people said that singer Wen Jiang was "maverick", and later some people said that actor Wen Jiang was "unique".
In fact, she just dares to think and dare to do, such as this bald head, not for grandstanding, but for when she walks in all directions, no one can contact her as Wen Jiang, so that she can hide in the sea of people.
***
Barbers work slowly, and the process of cutting hair is a bit long.
Wen Jiang looked at her in the mirror, his eyes gradually empty, and he remembered last night.
Last night, after the two set out to end this short marriage, Lin Xisheng rarely went back to their wedding room to collect the trophies he had received in the entertainment industry over the years.
Wen Jiang looked at it and didn't stop it.
It was Lin Xisheng who couldn't help but sneer: "You have been like this for two years, you have always been like this......"
Wen Jiang lifted his lips: "Which one?" ”
She waited for him to tell him what she was charged with.
The light between Lin Xi's eyes shattered and gathered, gathered and scattered: "Indifferent, indifferent." Every look is telling me that I am dispensable. ”
Wen Jiang laughed slowly, it used to be this person who said that she was different, independent and strong, so he loved and appreciated it.
The light in her eyes was a little cold.
After things are wrong, memories that have not been forgotten are like irony when I think about them.
She said in a light tone: "Oh, you endured the humiliation and endured my cold violence for nearly two years before being forced to find a new love, I should probably thank you for being so responsible for our marriage." ”
If any woman in the world says this, she may be sarcastic.
can be said from Wen Jiang's mouth, but Lin Xisheng can still only capture indifference.
Even if he betrayed and abandoned, she didn't hate it?
Lin Xisheng sighed weakly, and before leaving, he told Wen Jiang: "Wen Jiang, a woman like you is strong everywhere, and you don't need a man." ”
He didn't talk long, but the traces that smashed on Wen Jiang's heart were deep.
The cold wind outside didn't have the cold heart of smelling ginger at that moment.
Maybe not enough love, not really love, but she's not a person who jokes about marriage.
Since it's over, there's responsibility.
She had planned a lifetime with this person.
She doesn't need a man? Is the person in front of her, who she had planned to have his future, blessing her to die alone?
Was she so heinous to make him hate?
***
The conversation with Lin Xisheng last night made Wen Jiang exhausted just by looking back.
After returning to her apartment from the development design hall, she slept until mid-afternoon.
The inner line in the apartment suddenly sounded, and she was awakened.
The other party persistently hits, over and over again.
Wen Jiang was forced to open his eyes and answer the phone.
The call was the new security guard downstairs, and he said, "Miss Wen, there is a Ms. Nan named Nanke who wants to go up?" I have already checked my documents, should I be released? ”
Nan Ke rarely comes to her apartment, and she naturally doesn't know Nan Ke. Wen Jiang sobered up a little and promised: "My friend, let her come up." ”
She got out of bed and stood in the cloakroom connecting to the master bedroom, where her one-meter-seven-three body was reflected in the mirror that occupied half of the wall.
The dressing gown is loose, the collarbone is exposed, and the posture is sexy.
But the most eye-catching ...... at the moment It was her new bald head last night.
Wen Jiang raised his hand and twisted the side of his face.
This memory ...... It had only been a few hours before she had forgotten that she had taken on a new look.
didn't discuss with Nanke, Nanke saw that she had to dismantle her, why didn't she think much about it and let Nanke come up.
But it was too late, and Wen Jiang then heard the doorbell.
***
The moment he first saw Wen Jiang, Nan Ke gasped.
She squeezed into the door and pushed Wen Jiang back, looking at the green stubble on the top of Wen Jiang's head, her temples twitched and jumped, twitching and hurting.
Hearing that Jiang Gang wanted to move his lips, Nan Ke shouted: "Don't speak, I'm afraid I can't bear to kill people on the spot and divide the corpse." ”
Nanke inhaled hard, exhaled, and then re-inhaled.
After a two-minute delay, she asked, "Explain it, what's the matter with the bald head?" Do you know that your body, hair and skin are all company? ”
Smelling Jiang's voice, he was still calm: "I'm tired of seeing that self, change my image." The face can stand up and should not be ugly. ”
Nan Ke's chest shook violently: "Just for Lin Xisheng's scum, do it to yourself?" ”
Wen Jiang pulled her to sit on the sofa: "Do I look like such a person who can't look away?" The shutdown has been planned for a long time, you know. Didn't you miss out on the commercial performances and productions in the next few months? I'm planning to go out for a walk, not a day or two. I don't plan to go abroad, I need to change my appearance in China, I don't want to step on every inch of land in the mainland and others will recognize me as Wen Jiang, I want to be free in broad daylight, without having to bear special eyes. ”
Nan Ke looked at her, and a sigh overflowed on her lips: "Don't tell me, you don't know that bald heads are more dazzling." ”
Wen Jiang calmly: "There is a hat." If the hair is shortened to a certain extent, passers-by will not match me with a star who cherishes my image. ”
This is reasonable, Nan Ke was choked, and then said bitterly: "Is it really okay? I haven't seen you cry outside the play, but I know you're a nostalgic and easily touched person. ”
Wen Jiang smiled, his eyes brightened: "What do I think of?" ”
Her eyes suddenly became blurred again: "I don't want this long hair, half because the person touched and combed it." Do you still think I'm nostalgic? ”
Wen Jiang smiled indifferently, Nan Ke couldn't tell for a moment whether this was her sincere words or just that she was fooling people by casually saying it.
Nan Ke was silent and didn't ask, and began to get to the point: "Last night, publicity and public relations were temporarily called. Lin Xisheng's owner, New Entertainment, has already moved. The other party did not hide it, did not deny it. Just as I was coming, Lin Xisheng's Weibo sent out such a message: My fault. The fate is over, you are good. ”
They admit this, and there are some bold voices in the scolding voice. Dare to act boldly, and don't look at what's going on. ”
Nan Ke's voice was not high, and she didn't dare to use force, she kept looking at Jiang's expression.
Wen Jiang just frowned when he heard this, and told her: "Don't tear it first, I want to live a life of stopping." ”
Nan Ke naturally didn't want to hear Jiang and Lin Xisheng and Gu Xiang in the next year or two, and she couldn't get rid of these cowhide plasters again and again, she said: "After the statement that we admitted the marriage change was issued, Cheng Yuan, the artist director of New Entertainment, contacted me. ”
In recent years, there have been countless marriages and romances in the circle, and the public's tolerance has increased.
If Wen Jiang is a tepid second or third line, even if he is not at fault, the blow of the marriage change to his image and career can be imagined.
Now that she has risen to the top in the circle and has become a top artist, Nan Ke is not worried about the damage to resources, she is more concerned about Wen Jiang's mood.
As long as Lin Xisheng doesn't take advantage of the situation to make waves, he won't offend me, Nan Ke is very patient and is not in a hurry to step on people now.
***
After listening to Nan Ke's words, Wen Jiang only hummed: "After I found out, he and I were working on ending this marriage, and the remaining procedures and unfinalized agreements were thrown to the company's legal affairs. ”
After being silent for a few seconds, Nan Ke accepted: "Okay, when are you leaving?" ”
Wen Jiang looked at her and asked, "I was about to ask you, when can I leave?" ”
Nanke reminded her: "I will help you top the company, and the company will support you in public." I know you don't want to make any comments on this matter on Weibo. This time, I'm with you. Nest for a few days, and wait for the paparazzi to stop a little before moving. Before the start of the promotional period of "Old Man", you must come back. ”
Wen Jiang nodded: "I know, there are numbers." ”
Nan Ke looked at her close in front of her, but it always made people feel distant, and asked, "Where do you want to go?" ”
Wen Jiang glanced at the diary of her deceased stepsister Wen Yu spread out on the table.
It records the places where Wen Yu wanted to go before his death but did not leave to do it.
On the yellowed paper in front of her, Wen Yu wrote in block letters: Seda, Niubei Mountain. Go and see the sea of clouds, the sunrise, the starry sky.
She glanced at it and told Nanke: "Go to western Sichuan first." Go to Seda, go to Niubei Mountain. ”
***
It wasn't until early January that the divorce certificate was in hand.
The hair grew a short length, and Wen Jiang carried a small bag on his back, and then embarked on the road to the west.
Glasses, wigs, hats...... False moles, freckles...... All kinds of camouflage are readily available.
She first flew from N City to Chengdu, and then chose to continue westward by land.
Hire a driver and car with rich driving experience from Chengdu, and then go up the Minjiang River valley through the expressway, passing through Wenchuan, Partridge Mountain Tunnel and other places, and spend several days to arrive at Aba in the evening, which is known as the city of temples.
Along the way, the imprint of the disaster left by the 08 earthquake can be seen everywhere, and the new city rebuilt after the disaster is hidden in those dilapidated ruins.
They did not stop in Aba, and then passed through Qinghai's Nian Baoyu (place name), passed by the Fairy Lake and the Demon Girl Lake, and paused to see the lake and mountains.
The driver, Lao Liu, parked the car on the green ground by the lake and half-lowered the window to smoke.
He had been curious about the reason why Wen Jiang traveled west alone for a long time, and chatted with Wen Jiang: "For a long journey, it's best to find a companion." ”
The wind blowing outside the window is humid and cool, and the greenery is charming to the eyes.
Wen Jiang replied: "Uncle Liu, aren't you my companion?" ”
Lao Liu smiled: "I'll send you to Seda County and leave, you are still alone." ”
Wen Jiang disagreed: "It's not a no-man's land, you can carpool everywhere, and there are people in front of you." ”
Lao Liu nodded: "That's what I said, but it's not that easy." These places are crowded with people, and there are all kinds of things, so you have to be careful. ”
He asked, "Are you doing photography?" ”
Wen Jiang shook his head: "No." ”
Lao Liu: "These places you picked are all called a paradise for photography enthusiasts. ”
Wen Jiang: "I can take two photos along the way, and pretend to be one for photography." ”
Lao Liu smiled: "The accommodation conditions in those places are poor, although the scenery is good, but it is guilty." ”
The two chatted for a while, and suddenly it started raining.
It was not big, but the vision in front of the car suddenly became extremely dark, and it looked like a mosaic in the distance.
Uncle Liu's mobile phone behind the front windshield of the car vibrated and he picked it up to answer it.
Wen Jiang followed and listened to the seven, seven, eight, eight.
The elderly in the family are suddenly ill, and the orphans and widows need the men in the family to go back to support.
Uncle Liu hung up the phone and said with a little embarrassment: "I may have to go back now." ”
Wen Jiang was very happy: "The family is sick more important than getting out of this car, and you should go back." ”
Uncle Liu was not embarrassed: "I'll refund you all the fares for the rest of the journey." ”
Wen Jiang didn't refuse and said no, this is a normal transaction refund.
Lao Liu suddenly patted his thigh again and remembered: "I have a fellow villager who has also run this line recently, let me ask you to see if his guests can accept carpooling and carry you." ”
***
It didn't take long for Lao Liu to come to a conclusion: "They are still behind, it will take more than two hours to get here, and they will also go to Seda, I can take you with me." ”
It was cloudy and rainy, and although Lao Liu didn't want to go, he still got in the car and left under Wen Jiang's urging, leaving her at the lakeshore inn in the Demon Girl Lake.
Lao Liu left Wen Jiang the last three digits of the license plate number of the car driven by his buddy: 777.
Wen Jiang waited in the inn lobby for a while, and finally survived two hours.
She walked out with an umbrella and began to wait at the conspicuous inn sign.
Next to the road, there is an old-fashioned light sign in the form of a rectangular light box, the main body is red, and at the moment it is smeared with red light.
The area of the umbrella is not large, and the rain is not dense, but there is wind, and the slightest coolness is attached to Wen Jiang's face.
After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, the car finally swept its low beams.
When the car approached, Wen Jiang saw the license plate number on it, and the mantissa was 777 that she was waiting for.
***
The model is recognized by Jiang Jiang, one of the flagships in off-road, the extended version of the Santorini Black Land Rover Range Rover.
The market price is not low, at least not something that an ordinary driver engaged in the medium and long-distance charter business can afford.
Her steps were slightly hesitant.
Lao Liu is a diamond driver in the chartered bus platform, and Xin Lingxi introduced her, she is relieved.
The person Lao Liu contacted for her, she basically trusted, but self-protection and self-defense are human instincts, and the car stopped in front of her, and she did not go forward.
The headlights flickered on a rainy night, and the phone in Wen Jiang's hand vibrate. The door opened, and a driver stepped out of the driver's seat.
Seeing her phone ringing, the middle-aged driver shook the mobile phone he was dialing, and confirmed with Wen Jiang that they were the ones who wanted to meet, and then started talking.
"You are the person he threw down halfway as Liu Zheng said? My surname is Wang, you can call me Lao Wang. ”
Lao Wang was dressed ordinary, Wen Jiang glanced at him, and borrowed the name of his late stepsister: "Hello, Wen Yu." ”
"Get in the car, you get in the back seat." Lao Wang pointed to the car and let her get on.
He seemed to understand Wen Jiang's doubts and explained: "I run a chartered car like Lao Liu, and this trip is to send people over as a substitute driver, and the car is for the guest." Come on, they agree. ”
Wen Jiang put away his black long-handled folding umbrella, and the umbrella was dripping with water.
She opened the door in the back seat. The exterior light is dim, and the interior of the car is even more dim.
The Range Rover has a tall chassis, and from Wen Jiang's angle, the first thing she sees is a man's overlapping legs.
Long, straight.
She couldn't see each other's faces clearly, but she felt a little oppressive inexplicably.
From the other party's silent but domineering aura.
Then there was the sharp side of the face, and the inky dark eyes that adorned it, and the mask he wore that covered half of his face.
With a tall nose propped up under a mask, only eyebrows and eyes, his naked/exposed facial features still visually feel aggressive.
Rao is Wen Jiang has seen many male stars in the circle, and he was still shocked by him at first sight, and immediately remembered his eyes.
She opened the door, she got into the car, and the other party was silent.
Only glanced in the direction where she was at first, calm and calm.
There was also a man in the passenger seat in front of him.
Seeing her sit down, the person in the passenger seat turned around and asked, "Are you going to Seda too?" ”
Smelling Jiang's "um", the quiet atmosphere in the car made her not want to talk more.
Then the young man in the passenger seat turned around and said to the man sitting next to her at the moment, "Brother Han, shall we continue to walk tonight, or shall we stay here for the night?" ”
