Chapter 1 Earthquakes

Next Chapter

It is the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, with the sound of firecrackers disappearing, the original smell of the New Year is completely fading under the cold wind, and most people have begun to devote themselves to the work of the new year for life or dreams.

At eight o'clock in the morning, after eating the breakfast prepared by his grandmother, Zhang Xiu returned to his bedroom and began to pack his luggage and prepare to go out to work.

There is not much luggage to bring, in addition to some necessary daily necessities, there are a few changes of clothes, and a larger suitcase is enough to fit.

Just as Zhang Xiu was loading the folded clothes into the suitcase, his grandfather and grandmother came to his bedroom together.

"Brother Xiu'er, stay at home for a few more days before leaving, you've only been back for a few days."

It was Zhang Xiu's grandmother who spoke, and as she spoke, she grabbed Zhang Xiu's hands holding the clothes, and looked at him kindly.

Zhang Xiu didn't want to stay at home for a few more days, but thinking about the situation at home, he really couldn't allow him to be a little lazy and slack, so he could only refuse politely, "No, grandma, the crew has called me several times to urge me, and if I don't go, they will have to be replaced."

To say that Zhang Xiu's family was quite wealthy in the past, but a few years ago, Zhang Xiu's father, Zhang Yuchao, was deceived and bankrupt when he was investing in a project.

And the misfortune is not a single line, Zhang Yuchao just went bankrupt soon after Zhang Xiu's mother died of illness, under the double blow of bankruptcy and widowhood, Zhang Yuchao finally couldn't bear a complete collapse, and after several suicide attempts, he began to get drunk all day long to escape reality.

When Zhang Xiu was not working, the family's only source of income was a small supermarket that Zhang Xiu's grandfather used to run.

After experiencing changes in his family, Zhang Xiu also collapsed for a while; Crazy. In addition, he had just entered college at that time, and he was in the period of adolescent rebellion. Smoking, drinking, and fighting have become a daily routine, and studies have been abandoned for a time.

But fortunately, before Zhang Xiu completely became a gangster, he was corrected by his uncle in time.

As for how to correct it, it is naturally punched and kicked plus spit to wash your face.

During that time, Zhang Xiu really talked about his uncle's color change, and even bought a barber knife to cut his hair as soon as it was the first month.

But fortunately, later, under the hard work (fists and feet) of Zhang Xiu's uncle and the persuasion of his grandparents, Zhang Xiu sobered up in time.

After sobering up, Zhang Xiu thought about giving up his studies and then going out to find a job to support his family, but Zhang Xiu's grandparents insisted that he finish college, saying that it would be difficult to find a job.

But after Zhang Xiu graduated from university, he found out.

Job... It's still hard to find.

Just when Zhang Xiu was looking for a job and ran into a wall, one of his college roommates called him when he knew that he had studied at a martial arts school before, saying that a crew was looking for a martial arts stand-in and asked him if he wanted to try it.

When he was a child, because Zhang Xiu liked martial arts, Zhang Yuchao sent him to a martial arts school, until Zhang Xiu's sophomore year of high school, Zhang Xiu's mother transferred him to a school on the grounds that she wanted him to concentrate on studying.

Thinking about it, I don't have a job now anyway, and being a martial arts stand-in is also a way out, if I do it well, maybe which director will be able to make my debut as a yin star.

fantasized like this, Zhang Xiu went to the crew that his roommate said with an attitude of giving it a try, but he didn't expect to be selected.

Later, because Zhang Xiu's martial arts foundation is solid and his skills are also good, coupled with the recommendation of the crew director. Zhang Xiu is completely integrated into the Wuti industry.

"Brother Xiu'er, why don't you change jobs, I heard others say that it is very dangerous to be a martial arts stand-in", at this time Zhang Xiu's grandfather said with a worried face.

"It's okay grandpa, the shooting conditions are much better now than before, and many shots are replaced by special effects, which are not as dangerous as you think."

Then he comforted his grandparents a few words, and after packing his luggage, Zhang Xiu pulled his suitcase and walked out of the house in the reluctance of the second elder.

During the period, when passing by Zhang Yuchao's room, Zhang Xiu stopped and knocked on the door and said, "Dad, I'm leaving."

After Zhang Xiu left, Zhang Xiu's grandfather came to Zhang Yuchao's door and shouted, "What time is it, I can't get up, my son doesn't know when he will come back when he goes out to work, and he won't come out to send it off, do you say you still have the appearance of being a father?" ”

"Okay, you just let him be, he hasn't felt good in the past few years" In the past few years, Zhang Yuchao has become Zhang Xiu's grandmother's heart disease, and he wiped tears from the corners of his eyes when he said it.

Seeing the moist corners of his wife's eyes, Zhang Xiu's grandfather's heart softened, and his anger decreased slightly, "If he is uncomfortable, Brother Xiu'er will be uncomfortable?" People have to look forward in life, they are hit, they are frustrated, they are decadent like this, is he still a man?"

"Let him be, it's better to let him lie on the bed than to drink and hurt his body when he comes together."

Under the dispute between the old couple, Zhang Yuchao opened the door and walked into the bathroom without saying a word. After a simple wash, Zhang Yuchao put on his coat and opened the door to go out.

"Yu Chao, where are you going," Zhang Xiu's grandmother asked uneasily, afraid that what her wife had just said would stimulate him again.

Zhang Xiu's grandfather glanced at Zhang Yuchao with a straight face and said, "Can he do it, it's not like he went out to find wine to drink."

Zhang Yuchao paused as he walked out, took a deep breath, and then turned around and said, "Dad, Mom, I'm out looking for a job."

Overnight recovery rain, run cold mountains covered with new green. At first glance, the warm and cold wind urge everything to add spring.

After leaving home for more than a month, at the foot of a mountain somewhere in HB Province, Zhang Xiu sorted out the costumes on her body and prepared to start work.

"Alas Zhang Xiu, do you see if my new costume is handsome"

It was a colleague of Zhang Xiu who spoke, his name is Wu Fan, his personality is very cheerful, Xiao Zhang Xiu is one year old, and he met him after joining the group, and the relationship between the two is very good for more than a month.

Zhang Xiu glanced up at Wu Fan, who was wearing soft armor and a black cloak on his back.

Not to mention that he is really handsome, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a height of 1.8 meters, coupled with this outfit, it gives people a feeling of being strong and powerful.

Zhang Xiu is actually quite envious of Wu Fan's figure, although the two are about the same size, but if they stand together, Zhang Xiu, who has thin arms and thin legs, is slightly weak.

"Look at your strength, what's the use of being handsome, and don't let you show your face"

"It's because I don't show my face that I want to be more embarrassed, maybe I will be seen by the director, and then I will make our debut."

"Haha, good idea, work hard! Come on".

has been a martial artist for two years, and Zhang Xiu also fantasized like this at the beginning, and even recommended himself to director Mao Sui many times, but the director gave him some tricks with one or two lines depending on his mood, and more directly rejected him.

After a long time, Zhang Xiu's mind has faded, and you have to let others think that you are a pearl, so you should do your job before that.

"That, Zhang Xiu and Wu Fan, you two come here, do the right thing again, it's time for you to play soon" At this time, the martial arts instructor of the crew shouted loudly.

Zhang Xiu's crew is now making a movie set in the Three Kingdoms, with an investment of tens of millions.

The starring role is a rich second generation who brings capital into the group, and Zhang Xiu is his martial artist.

"There are a few close-ups in this shoot, so use real props and be careful when you meet your opponents"

After Zhang Xiu and Wu Fan corrected their movements again, the martial arts instructor made a special admonition on the side.

"Knowing Uncle Huang, this is not the first time to use real props, and besides, this prop has not been opened, don't worry, we can handle it"

The martial arts instructor's surname is Huang, he is in his forties, and everyone in the crew calls him Uncle Huang.

"Even so, you have to be careful, after all, if you get hurt, it's not good for anyone"

After receiving the props sent by the props team, Zhang Xiu said, "Uncle Huang, don't worry, we will be careful."

The prop used by Zhang Xiu this time is a Daguan knife, which was brought by an investor, and it is said that the investor this time is a lover of cold weapons.

The knife that Zhang Xiu is using now is different from the traditional knife, and it should be specially designed by investors. The cutter looks clean from beginning to end, and the blade is smooth without any extra decorations. The material is high manganese steel, which weighs more than a dozen catties.

And Wu Fan wants to use a tassel gun, which is also brought by investors.

Uncle Huang nodded, patted Zhang Xiu's shoulder and said jokingly, "Well, then I'll be at ease to watch you, the king of guns in the Northland, play the knife."

Because the name is the same as the name of a military general during the Three Kingdoms period, he was ridiculed by the people in the group after Zhang Xiu entered the group.

Of course, because many people think that embroidery is generally only in a girl's name, so some people have joked about his name in the past.

In fact, Zhang Xiu's name was given by his mother, which means that she and Zhang Yuchao love knitting.

"Okay, bring the horse over, the stuntman gets on the horse and is in position, and the departments are ready"

With the director's order, the crew began to get busy, Zhang Xiu and Wu Fan also turned over and were led by the staff to the designated position.

After waiting for a while, seeing that all departments were ready, the director slowly raised his right hand and then waved loudly "Start"

However, as the beginning of this sentence fell, three loud noises suddenly came from the sky, and then the earth began to shake violently.

Day turns to night in an instant.
