The open-air cinema no longer shows movies. But the film still continues to be screened, still in the open air, but it is more appropriate to call it an open-air mobile theater. It's in a vacant lot, mostly on the road.

At that time, there was no obstruction of traffic, and even if there was a car that returned late, it would stop and watch the movie and go back. If there is a vehicle that must pass, the projectionist will pause the screening and organize the audience to disperse to pass it.

You need to bring your own bench, of course, you can not prepare it, and stand and watch. However, in general, very few people who are not old choose to stand in the back and be a light bulb. I heard that back then, the people who bought station tickets were men and women in love. Of course, it's just hearsay, and it's an afterthought, and there is no way to verify it.

The vendors are still there, still selling melon seeds and peanuts. What is different in the past is to move with the movement of the screening location, and become a mobile hawker, just like you and me today, selling life under the shadow of movement.

About the open-air theater, on the eve of my graduation from elementary school, I heard this story from a female classmate:

It's about a pair of parents who are eager to have a child, and they can't find a remedy. Although family planning was practiced at that time, there were always people who risked their lives again and again.

Later, a fortune teller ("sir" was a highly respectful title in the mouths of the older generation, like teachers and doctors were called sir. He said to them, "If you have a son, you will lose a daughter." "The method is probably to take their little daughter to the open-air theater to watch a movie one night, and when she comes back, she will get pregnant again, and she will have a child.

I heard the female classmate say that the couple really gave birth to a son, but unfortunately the fortune teller said a few words, and their youngest daughter was full of joy and exchanged her life for a movie.

Maybe it's because it's ridiculous enough! I didn't want to believe it then, and now I doubt it's true. Watching movies was almost a necessary social activity back then, especially for women and children.

Since fortune tellers can even count the birth of a son, it is impossible not to know that the family will go to see the movie that night. Since he has insight into the heavens, why don't he just use some means, and then tell the family that according to his law, they will get pregnant and have children in a few days.

Even if he didn't know the prophet, the family wouldn't take their little daughter to the open-air cinema that night. Then he has completely other ways to achieve this goal, after all, he is a gentleman, so why do he have to push himself into the position of an accomplice to murder, not to mention that he has a magical power like him, how can he allow others to point fingers and poke behind his back?

Of course, later open-air mobile theaters also had additional screenings, but they just pulled one more banner than usual: so-and-so wishes so-and-so such as being admitted to so-and-so university and joining the army...... Feature: When the film is screened, the projectionist will use the loudspeaker to read it again when the film is changed in the middle of the film.

After the open-air movie stopped showing because there was no audience, the TV station became a new platform for so-and-so to be blessed by the second uncle, the third aunt, and the fourth uncle.

Later, the video hall appeared, but along with VCD, DVD (I heard that EVD also appeared later, I don't know what the hell it is.) The video hall soon came to an end.

VCD has indeed been popular for a few years, you don't see the street side, under the overpass full of vendors selling discs, of course, they are also moving, but faster, smarter, if you have to ask why they are all moving, why there is a difference between fast and slow, I can only point to the chengguan and say you don't ask me. I just don't know if there are any of them who used to carry lanterns and sell peanuts and melon seeds.

Back to the point. By the time we walked out of the theater, the crowd at the door had almost dispersed. Schrödinger opened the box containing the cat, and it was raining lightly, and everything was wet everywhere, and everything seemed so listless in the sticky and humid air.

For the first time, I felt that the People's Shopping Mall and Xinhua Bookstore not far away were so simple and dilapidated...... But when I think of the scene in the movie just now, I am glad that this down-to-earth feeling is in my heart.

I saw Sun Qiong stop a taxi from a distance, so I pulled Zhao Min and trotted over, and before I ran a few steps, I suddenly found that a green hair appeared out of nowhere and was pushing Sun Qiong.

Maybe the green hair felt that the pushing was not enjoyable, and suddenly burst out and pushed Sun Qiong down on the wet concrete floor. Just as Green Fur raised his foot and jumped towards Sun Qiong on the ground, I rushed over and kicked him in the lower abdomen, then hit him on the left side of the face with a right hook, and then he obediently lay on the ground.

"Brother, get in the car, there's someone over there!" Sun Qiong had already gotten up from the ground, pointed to the front with one hand, and the other hand trembled like chaff, pulling my arm and saying in a panic.

I pushed Sun Qiong, who was trembling all over, into the car, and the driver had already called away:

"You students really don't know the height of the sky, get out of the car and run, they are all gangsters, I can't afford to mess with them!"

I slammed the door shut and yelled at the driver, "I'll stay, take them away (Zheng Jie was already sitting in the car, let Zhao Min get in the car before I kicked the green hair), quick!" Seeing the driver's hesitation, I added:

"If you don't leave, Lao Tzu will abolish you!"

After saying that, I turned around and kicked the green hair that I had just gotten up and put it on the ground again. In fact, I have been keeping an eye out of my eyes for the green hair that has fallen to the ground.

The moment the car moved, I picked up the jacket I had just taken off, threw it at the bald head that was about to smash the steel pipe at me, and then ran desperately forward after the taxi. It is followed by five or six big men with steel pipes and short sticks, which is really a bit like the scene in the Crazy Boy movie.

I know that thanks to my usual perseverance, I can have the luck that seems to be today, and I heard the sonorous sound of a blunt object hitting the ground more than once behind me, and every time I heard it, my heart trembled, and I always felt that the next time the iron rod or steel pipe would fall on me, I once again changed the impossible to the possibility and increased the cadence.

Two hundred meters may be shorter, but in terms of time it feels like running two kilometers or more, and I finally left behind a group of minions who had invisibly improved their social presence.

So my legs were sore, and my feet were weak, so I stopped involuntarily, and just wiped the rain from my face, and before I could catch my breath, I saw a white Santana sedan stop in the distance next to the group of people who were chasing me.

I didn't dare to rest any longer, so I quickly ran across the street and rushed into the pedestrian street through the western entrance. The reason why I chose the pedestrian street is not only because the car can't enter the pedestrian street, but also because the east side of the pedestrian street is the family community of the Public Security Bureau, and Shen Xiaofeng's family is in this community.

I watched carefully along the way, but I didn't notice the people chasing me. I've been to the pedestrian street more than once before, and it's not very long, but this time I felt like I couldn't finish it, and finally I came to the east exit, and I poked my head out and looked left and right, and then I breathed a sigh of relief, and walked out of the pedestrian street towards the intersection.

After crossing the intersection, walk less than 100 meters to the public security bureau community where Shen Xiaofeng's family lives. As soon as I arrived at the intersection, the white Santana sedan stopped beside me with a ghostly "squeak". The moment the door opened, I immediately turned around and ran towards the entrance of the pedestrian street, and as soon as I started, my arm was clamped by a large strong hand.
