【042】Stirring clouds
I finally understood why Lu Zhaochuan was called "the figure who stirred up the clouds" by Ye Chun, this nickname sounded full of all kinds of unstable and dangerous factors - "the character who stirred up the storm", which was by no means a compliment......
The day after he "met" Ye Chun again. I got a call from her, and she told me to make sure I made time to visit her house again. So, after I finished dealing with the day's work, I immediately asked the team leader for leave and rushed to Ye Chun's house.
When she saw that I was coming, she did not delay, so she immediately moved a stool to the wardrobe and removed a small wooden box from the top of the closet. She first sent a small wooden box outside to brush off the accumulated dust, and then served the coffee table and opened it carefully. I saw dozens of boxes of inch-sized DV tapes neatly stacked inside.
Ye Chun took out the tape and handed it to me: "Do you have an impression?" ”
I saw that the label on the DV was marked with a ballpoint pen: "Qingfeng Gorge", "Yanhu", "Lishan" and other place names. It seems that because of the long time, the handwriting on it is a little blurred.
I wondered, "This is—"
"When the two of us first joined the club, we went into the second-hand store and found a cassette DV, which was the kind of cassette DV that was beaten by the memory card DV. At that time, the two of us saw that the machine was very new, and when we saw that the price was cheap, we discussed buying it, thinking that we could take a video to commemorate it when we went out to play. After that, every time our club went out to an event, I took it with me, and although it was a casual pat, I also recorded a lot of tapes. Actually, we planned to make a film when we graduated and give it to everyone as a souvenir...... Then you're gone, and I don't have the heart to do it......"
A hot current rushed over me, and I was at a loss.
I instantly understood what that meant—there was the me I had forgotten about a few years ago.
I don't have to rely on bits and pieces of information, or completely recorded words, to compare my memories and identify a virtual me.
I will see a real me with a shadow and a sound......
"I didn't even remember the last time you came, and I still had this thing hidden." Ye Chun put the tape back in the wooden box, closed the lid and handed the wooden box to me, "They may be helpful to you!" ”
I pressed the lid of the wooden box and didn't move for a long time.
After a long time, I honestly explained: "Ye Chun, tell the truth...... I, I'm a little scared. ”
At the moment, I am like Pandora holding a magic box, afraid that I will release nightmares......
Ye Chun nodded clearly: "I understand." Don't say it's you, I haven't looked at these tapes again. If you want me to watch it, I don't want to, I don't want to look back......"
I gently stroked the lid of the box, full of emotions.
"Actually, I don't even know if they can't come out yet, and if they don't, it might make you busy in vain...... Whatever decision you make, I'll support you. Seeing that I was silent, Ye Chun said again.
I nodded heavily.
After coming out of Ye Chun's house, I went directly to the electronic equipment market, because the DV back then was already useless, and I had to find an old machine to read these cassettes. After wandering through countless shops, I finally found the right machine in an old video store. My boss also kindly gave me a square-mouth cable that can be used to pour materials into the computer, and he told me that this cable is hard to find nowadays, so it is extremely valuable. I listened ignorantly and modestly, and only added the equipment I needed as told by my boss. Then, I went home with my past and the keys to it.
Back to the lawyer's house.
I made sure that there was no one around, then I carefully hid in the room, closed the doors and windows, and then carefully connected the power supply and turned on the monitor.
Sitting at my desk, I took a deep breath. At this moment, I feel like a child who is new to society, feeling uneasy and frightened about what I am about to face. A random tape was selected and pushed into the belt compartment, the lid of the box, and the play button was pressed.
The display flashed, and suddenly my face popped up, and I shook for a moment.
"Hahaha, here we go."
With the voice of "Ye Chun", the camera moved back, and "I" stood on the podium of a classroom. The camera swept over the audience, and there were more than a dozen students sitting in the audience. "I" voice came from the machine: "The itinerary of this trip and the tasks of each member of the group are here." Remember to claim your mission...... Ye Chun, this is your ......" "Haole! A hand reached up and took the paper......
I clasped my palms and stared at the monitor.
My palms were covered with sweat, and I held back my surprise and tears - the person who was active in the small square inch was I?
Because I am the head of the club and always speak, Ye Chun pointed most of the camera at me.
I watched with admiration as I looked through the materials; the way it looks to speak from the podium; the look of a smile; And laughing when I heard the joke......
The "I" in the small display looks good.
Before I knew it, I had finished watching a few sets.
The photographers of these tapes are mainly me and Ye Chun, and occasionally there are others to help them, obviously, Ye Chun and I are not at a high level of video. Each tape is recorded as a shaky footage, recording a mix of various messy sounds. However, this kind of recording "style" that does not know how to turn off and turn on again preserves the process of each of our activities in every detail, including pre-preparation, travel, doing tasks, and returning......
I also got to know me again.
Suddenly, there was an urgent call from "Ye Chun" from the machine: "Look, they are coming......" Then the camera flicked sharply, aiming at the gate of the Ladder Sect, and a group of people were coming slowly. It was a top-down trapezoidal classroom, with the door at the top end, and they came against the light, and the eyes were full of blinding white light.
The camera automatically adjusts the focus and finally focuses on the face of the person in charge.
It's ...... "Ritsu Teru River"!
Although the pixels are not high, the cold expression indicates that this is the original.
At this time, the machine faithfully recorded the envious exclamation of others in the Ladder Sect: "Wow, it's a lawyer!" ”
Ye Chun's nervous voice came: "Xingxingxing, what should I do...... Hey, stars! With the exclamation of "Ye Chun", on the side of the camera, a figure had already rushed towards Lu Zhaochuan.
It took me a while to be sure that the person who rushed up was "me"! The thin figure on the flying rush opened his hands to block the way of "Ritsu Zhaochuan", and "Ritsu Zhaochuan" paused, casting his eyes on the person in front of him.
The two were talking.
The content of the conversation should not be friendly and the atmosphere should not seem right.
"Ritsu Zhaochuan" is not only condescending, he also leisurely intervenes in the chest.
The machine was too far away to record the conversation, but the voice of the person who couldn't see the face was clear: "Hey, it's going to be a fight, it's going to be a fight!" It seemed to be in line with the voice, and the person behind "Ritsu Zhaochuan" came up and pushed "me". "I" grabbed the other person's hand, spun around, and threw the other person to the ground with an over-the-shoulder fall.
I was so shocked in front of the screen that I couldn't help but raise my hand to look at my wrist.
When "Ritsu Zhaochuan" saw that his partner was knocked down by me, he also became angry, raised his hand and pushed "me" on the shoulder, while "I" staggered back, leaning on the chair and barely standing up straight, and the situation seemed to be out of control. At this time, the camera caught up with a heavy "whirring" sound. This time, the machine finally caught my voice: "Lu Zhaochuan, you are less arrogant, aren't you afraid that I will shake out all your ugly things......
The pixel "Ritsu Zhaochuan" did not answer, and in the close-up view, his face was still impeccable and handsome, and his expression was still frighteningly unfathomable.
He stared at the camera suddenly, his gaze cold.
"Ritsu Zhaochuan" tilted his head to signal, and someone behind him immediately understood and came to snatch the DV.
Ye Chun screamed: "What do you want to do? This is private property! You are blatant robbery! "Nobody paid any attention to her, and a large hand completely covered the DV's lens.
The camera is wobbly and noiseless. It was the DV that was handed over to another person. When I removed that hand, I saw a panicked "Ye Chun", and a righteous "I", "I" was glaring at "Ritsu Zhaochuan".
A big face appeared in front of the camera again, and the man muttered suspiciously at the camera: "How is this closed?" Then the picture went black, and the lens cap was closed.
The final picture recorded by DV is that "I" and "Ritsu Zhaochuan" are opposite each other, and both of them are domineering to each other.
The numbers on the screen are still flipping, and the recording doesn't stop.
Sure enough, in the black screen, Lu Zhaochuan's voice was clearly heard-
"Just if you want to negotiate terms with me, there must be a limit to what you can't do? Could it be—" he scoffed, "this is your lustful trick to get my attention!" There are so many people who want to be my girlfriend that this outdated trick alone won't work. ”
His voice had just fallen. There was a circle around with "hahaha" laughter.
"The skin is good. It's a pity, it's just a good skin. Beneath the skin, it's all filthy and filthy. "This time I'm mocking.
My counterattack was not echoed with laughter. Instead, I heard the person holding the camera gasp. After a brief silence, I heard the sound of glass smashing on the floor.
"Lu Zhaochuan" said coldly: "Okay, I want to see how long you can be tough!" ”
"I" voice was indistinct, as if someone had choked my face: "I won't be afraid of you!" ”
This tape is recorded here, and the machine "snaps" to open the cassette and raise the cassette.
Obviously, the last part is a black screen, but I have a look in front of my eyes that Ritsu Zhaochuan looked like at that time. And I was actually a little scared at the time, but I was stubborn.
Like a chestnut bursting open. It occurred to me that the reason why I was so excited was that our club members had won the first prize in the photo contest and had a huge prize, but the prize money had disappeared out of thin air. I couldn't understand it, so I secretly investigated the matter, and the result was that someone had secretly embezzled the money. And this person is the high-profile and arrogant Ritsu Zhaochuan who does whatever he wants...... I also learned that he not only moved the prize money of our club, but he also put straws into the fund pools of each club, desperately trying to absorb the funds of all the clubs.
This man is a veritable vampire!
I stared at the machine that was no longer functioning, speechless.
I really, really, remembered......
