974 Everyone has a sad past (2nd watch)

The man chuckled and did not refuse Polya's request, and as he narrated, the life of a rather legendary man appeared in Polya's mind.

He was born into a noble family, but his mother, who was not the wife of a nobleman, but only a servant, was not ashamed of it, on the contrary, he was glad that he did not have to inherit his father's title, and he left home at a young age and wandered around.

He has been to the northernmost city of ice and snow, where the cold can freeze people's ears, he has been to the city of trees in the south, and those who have not been there would never have imagined that the people of the whole city live in tree houses, and rope ladders connect these tree houses, and the protection of these tree houses is countless huge trees, and rope nets are pulled between the trees.

In some important places, bells were hung on the rope nets, and snipers skilled in bows and arrows hid on giant trees, and if anyone tried to sneak into the city without permission, the sharp arrows that came from nowhere would teach him a bloody lesson.

She couldn't help but ask, "What about you, have you been shot by a sharp arrow?" ”

"Me?" The man's voice chuckled lowly: "I have been a guard in Arbor City for two years, but I have learned a little bit of the ability to shoot dark arrows. ”

"Ahh Polya let out an uncontrollable exclamation, and said sincerely: "Then you are really amazing! ”

The curiosity in her heart was even worse, and she subconsciously asked, "You are so powerful, why are you locked up by them again?" ”

The man seemed to be stopped by her, and this time, after a long time, he spoke again: "Okay, it's not early, you can rest early!" ”

With his voice, a faint beam of light from the vent above his head disappeared, and Polya knew that this light was not daylight, but what she usually thought was daylight, but night, and it was the light that came from the candles used by the cellmates upstairs.

Polya muttered, "It seems that the treatment in prison is not the same." ”

It was pitch black here, but the other party had the right to light the lamp freely, but when she thought that the other party had been a guard in Arbor City for two years, she was relieved, people with ability are always different.

Polya looked up at the ventilation hole above her head that no longer had a little light coming down, and sighed softly, Sunset City is below the middle nobles, she is already tired of climbing, and other cities, at most, have heard the name of the city from the mouth of the drunken lower-class samurai.

Now listening to the description of the neighbor who lives upstairs, a magical scene emerges in front of her eyes, which makes her heart yearning for freedom ready to move again.

For the first time, being locked up in a small black room has become something to look forward to.

When the assistant director arrived at Director Portfield's side, Director Portfield just finished watching this video, and when he saw his old friend, he couldn't help but sigh: "Lania's acting skills are really getting better and better!" ”

The most test of an actor's acting skills is not when she is playing with others, but when she is alone, her every expression is infinitely magnified on the screen, at this time, it is a great test of the actor's skills - even if there is a trace of unnaturalness, it will be immediately discovered by the discerning audience.

The assistant director looked at Lania frozen on the screen, and the girl's dark eyes looked off the screen, as if she was looking at the entrance to another world, and couldn't help but nod: "It's a very spiritual child." ”

Director Portfield raised his eyebrows, seeing his old friend's absent-mindedness, and couldn't help laughing: "What's wrong with you?" Still frustrated that you can't go on vacation with your kids? ”

The assistant director was stunned for a moment, and shook his head again and again, "No, no, it's this-"

He patted his head and said with some excitement, "Quick, come and see this, Potter!" ”

Director Portfield took the mobile phone handed over by his old friend in a daze, on the screen, there was a pause of the video, he blinked, and chose to continue playing, the girl's young and lively voice rang for the first time: "Aha, today I'm going to dress up as a Christmas tree-"

Director Portfield was stunned, and subconsciously glanced at his assistant director, but he didn't expect that this little daughter was also an old friend who had been admitted to college, and now she likes to watch videos of these little girls.

When the videos of these young girls were pushed by the website, Director Portfield also clicked on a few of them, and these small videos were either accompanied by a piece of music to dance quickly, or with their tall boyfriend, to have a girlfriend supreme, light-hearted and humorous little joke.

But how to say it, this kind of small video, watching seven or eight similar ones in a row, is enough to make people feel aesthetically fatigued, and in the end it still lacks some connotation.

The assistant director looked at him earnestly, his face was no longer young, full of expectations, Director Portfield sighed in his heart, then look! The total length of this video is less than ten minutes, so it won't take much time.

As the video progresses, director Portfield sometimes smiles, sometimes his eyes are red, and the young girl in the video, playing the family, is the epitome of countless struggling American families, and almost everyone can find the shadow of their own family from it.

Director Portfield is no exception.

He remembers very well that year, his mother was so shy that she bought only one pair of sneakers for their two brothers, and promised that the next year, everyone would buy a pair of sneakers.

He couldn't wait for the second year, and when he found out that the size of sneakers was the same as that of his younger brother's shoes, he angrily quit all sports clubs and joined the reading club and the writing club, two unpopular clubs that did not require any investment.

The next day, his brother, who had passed by him, glared at him angrily and lowered his voice and scolded him: "You are so despicable! Porter! ”

When he got home, his mother, the woman who had been pressed by the long hard life, looked at him worriedly, and put a pair of shoes in front of him.

In the end, he and his brother didn't wear those sneakers.

His younger brother also quit the sports club and joined the debate club and the school journalism club.

He and his brother, ever since, have been strangers.

Until the year before last, when his mother was seriously ill and before she died, she folded the hands of the two of them together, and looking at the two hands that were also full of wrinkles, Portfield suddenly realized that he and his younger brother were old.

Just last Christmas, he took his wife, children, and younger brother's family to spend Christmas together for the first time, and he and his brother, who became a lawyer, took out a pair of sneakers and gave them to each other as Christmas gifts.

He and his brother laughed out loud at the same time, laughing for so long that they even burst into tears at the end, and when the children asked them what was funny, he and his brother looked at each other, but chose to laugh at the same time.

That somewhat embarrassing past, let it forever be a secret between him and his brother!

See you in the evening.
