Chapter 107 Life is impermanent, never abandon it (6)(1/2)
They bought drinks and popcorn and entered the cinema. The audience in the cinema was 80% full. For such a literary and fresh movie, such attendance rate was already very good.
Pang Qian and Gu Mingxi sat in the back row. Because Pang Qian's "sized" was too large, they did not sit in the couple's seat. They chatted quietly like other audience members next to them, eating popcorn, and waiting for the movie to begin.
The lights went out, and after a few advertisements, the movie began.
A long shot appeared on the big screen, with young men and women wearing corduroy jackets, white bell-bottom pants and combed with their heads erect, and the songs of Little Tigers' "Green Apple Paradise" floating all over the streets.
Six-year-old Fang Xiaomu and Pang Qingqing ran hand in hand in the factory courtyard. They were childhood sweethearts, often quarreling, but they would make up soon.
Fang Xiaomu is a smart and beautiful little boy with a pair of bright big eyes. When he smiles, there are two lying silkworms under his eyes, which are better than the little girl. Pang Qingqing only has Fang Xiaomu, but Fang Xiaomu has countless good friends. Pang Qingqing stood in the corner and secretly watched Fang Xiaomu play with other children, with loss in his eyes.
Pang Qian said to Gu Mingxi: "This little boy's actor is so good."
Gu Mingxi whispered: "I think this little girl looks quite like you."
“Where does it look like?”
"fat."
“…”
A car accident changed the fate of Fang Xiaomu and Pang Qingqing. Pang Qingqing rushed to the street to pick up the ball, and a truck drove over. At the critical moment, Fang Xiaomu pushed Pang Qingqing away, but he was thrown into the wheel.
There was a burst of exclamation in the cinema, which was something that readers who have read the original work did not expect. Because in the book, Gu Mingxi only said that Mr. Ostrich fell seriously ill when he was six years old. Later illustrations, he sometimes used ostrich and crabs to express it. Sometimes, even if he painted it like a little boy and a little girl, he had healthy limbs. He never mentioned that Mr. Ostrich was physically disabled.
Fang Xiaosi's hands were seriously damaged. Although he saved his hands, he could not move freely. Since then, he has no choice but to start a life of using feet instead of hands.
While Fang Xiaosi's mother was kneeling on the ground and crying loudly, a girl in the cinema was already sobbing quietly. Pang Qian put her head next to Gu Mingxi, fed him a popcorn, and said softly: "Is it because it's difficult to act like this?"
"It should be." He replied in a low voice, "For ordinary actors, it is difficult to hide their hands, and the screenwriter handles this way."
The story continues.
Fang Xiaomu and Pang Qingqing entered elementary school. A naughty boy bullied Fang Xiaomu. Pang Qingqing fought with them like a lioness. She accompanied Fang Xiaomu to and from school, helping him get food, tied shoelaces, and held an umbrella. The two children grew up quarrelingly. After entering junior high school, Fang Xiaomu grew up into a beautiful boy of fourteen years old, and Pang Qingqing also became a beautiful girl. At the same time, she fell in love with a striking figure in the school - Ouyang Chengye.
"Puff!" Pang Qian choked out in one sip of the drink, "Ouyang Chengye? I'll go! Whose name is it!"
Gu Mingxi smiled so hard that her shoulders kept trembling: "I really look forward to the reaction of that person when he saw it."
"Hahahaha, he will vomit blood!"
Ouyang Chengye is a cool, handsome, arrogant and domineering second-generation rich man. There are countless girls who like him. Pang Qingqing plunged into the whirlpool of secret love, and he never saw Fang Xiaomu accompanying him.
Fang Xiaomu helped Pang Qingqing to provide homework since she was a child, and finally helped her get into the high school entrance exam, but at this moment, Fang Xiaomu's father cheated on her.
There are many plots, and Gu Mingxi did not say it in detail in the picture book, but the screenwriters enriched the story through their imagination, such as the cheating of Fang's father, the collapse of Fang's mother, and Ouyang Chengye pretended to fall in love with Pang Qingqing in order to stimulate another girl he liked, and embarked on her fierce pursuit.
The girl Qingqing could not resist the temptation of the rich young man, and finally agreed to date him. Fang Xiaomuo withdrew from her life sadly, but by chance, he found that Ouyang was just using Qingqing as a substitute, and Fang Xiaomuo was angry.
He ignored his physical disadvantages and fought with Ouyang. On a rainy day, the two people rolled into two mud monkeys on the ground. The scene was very impactful with sensational music. Especially, Fang Xiaomu could not hit Ouyang with his hands, and could only try to kick him with his feet. Ouyang was knocked down by Ouyang at once. Ouyang fisted and wanted to beat him, but Fang Xiaomu couldn't hide, but just glared at him in the rain.
Pang Qian posted to Gu Mingxi: "Tell me honestly, did you want to beat Xie Yi at that time?"
"No."
"No?"
"No."
"It seems you still don't like me enough."
"Xie Yi didn't come to lie to you," Gu Mingxi said, "If he dares to lie to you, I will never forgive him."
After the college entrance examination, the classic photo frames are staged.
In the woods where Fang Xiaomu and Pang Qingqing often play, on the dark night and the heavy rain, Fang Xiaomu stood alone alone, and could not wait for his little crab.
The cinema has evolved from a small sob to an undepressed cry. Among these crying, there is a particularly abrupt sound, that is Pang Qian's laughter.
"Hahahahahahaha..." She really wanted to laugh. Looking at the silly young man Fang Xiaomu, crying pitifully in the rain, Pang Qian was almost fainted.
"Stop laughing, everyone is watching you." Gu Mingxi called her.
Pang Qian burst into tears, rubbed her big belly, looked at another female audience member who was staring at her, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I couldn't help it."
She grabbed Gu Mingxi's ear and asked, "Did you really cry when you waited for me that day?"
Can he deny it?
"Gu Mingxi...ah..." Pang Qian rubbed her stomach again, "Baby, don't imitate your father in the future. Just say whoever you like, it's so twists and turns that your parents have missed many years."
Gu Mingxi: "..."
Fang Xiaomu and Pang Qingqing suffered a lot in the years when they were separated, but he never cried. The only time he cried was when Fang's mother passed away.
In order to achieve sensational effect, the movie arranges Fang's mother's death as an accident.
Because Fang Xiaoliu had both hands, he had to do some heavy work at home. When Fang was stepping on the ladder to install the light bulb, he failed to stand firm and fell down.
Fang Xiaomu was by Fang's mother from beginning to end, but he couldn't hold the ladder or catch his mother. He could only watch Fang's mother fall to the ground.
"I hate this adaptation." After a while of silence, Pang Qian said.
Gu Mingxi nodded: "I don't like it either."
He sighed, turned his head and kissed his wife's forehead: "I can't imagine what it would be like to hurt you because I don't have hands. I think I really won't forgive myself."
"We are not so unlucky." Pang Qian smiled, "I will take good care of myself, but as a human being, there will be no bumps in my life. No matter where I fall, don't blame yourself. I don't think I need to say more to you, you should understand everything in your heart."
"Yeah, I understand."
They were chatting here, but the other audience members kept crying. The whole theater was filled with sadness, and Pang Qian was almost unable to watch it.
"What's there to cry?" she whispered, "Isn't it just a movie."
Gu Mingxi said: "You can cry even when you watch cartoons yourself, but you have the nerve to say that."
"Where do I have it!"
The female audience next to her turned her head with tears in her eyes again: "Can you be gentler? Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo w
Pang Qian: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
The kiss in the cinema is so romantic and beautiful that it makes people intoxicated.
The next day, Pang Qingqing stood at the school gate and waited for a day but couldn't wait for Fang Xiaoou.
From early morning to noon, from noon to dusk, from dusk to late night, pedestrians and vehicles kept shuttled by Pang Qingqing. She just stood there stubbornly, holding the crab keychain to be given to Fang Xiaole. In the end, only her slender figure was left on the empty street.
The female audience around Pang Qian said while taking tissues: "Why is the ostrich so cruel? You can't bear it together if you have anything to do! Crabs are the same. If you like them, just say it. If you don't say it, how could he know!"
Pang Qian, Gu Mingxi: “…”
After a long separation, the bitterness and sweetness come, a magical scene appears in the movie.
Gu Mingxi looked at the huge screen and was shocked to find that the filming place was the open-air cafe where he and Pang Qian met again. He knew that this must be Jiang Qi's suggestion.
Pang Qingqing walked up the stairs, stood on this side, and looked towards the terrace.
There was only one person sitting next to a few wooden coffee tables.
He turned his back to her, wearing a white shirt and black hair.
The breeze blew, and his shirt wafted, and his hair was messy with the wind.
He lowered his head, his shoulders trembled slightly, and Pang Qingqing smiled slightly and walked towards him.
Step by step, step by step, step by step.
She walked behind him and saw his curled hands, familiar hands, which had lost all their functions because of saving her.
She bent down, stretched out her arms, and gently hugged him from behind.
The movie reached its climax at this time, the audience's emotions reached its peak, and the entire theater was filled with crying. But unlike the sad cry before, the audience at this time were all crying with joy.
Only Pang Qian and Gu Mingxi sat quietly on the chair, without drinking drinks or eating popcorn. Her hands were placed on his thighs, and the two celebrated the arrival of this reunion moment in an almost pious way.
The story of Fang Xiaomu and Pang Qingqing came to an end in their romantic lawn wedding. Countless colorful balloons were placed in the sky. Those who helped them in the movie came to the wedding. Fang Xiaomu was wearing a white suit, tall and handsome, like a perfect prince. The beautiful Pang Qingqing held his hands and tiptoed to give him a gentle kiss.
The camera slowly shook up from their obsessive cheeks, chasing a red balloon.
The last line of words is displayed on the screen:
Dedicated to all those who love life, I wish you all can find Miss Crab or Mr. Ostrich in your life.
At this time, no one cried. When all the sufferings passed and everyone was savoring the belated sweetness, there was only one person in the cinema crying like a child. She did not suppress her voice at all, and let others look at her like a monster, just sucking tissues one by one.
Ninety minutes of joy, anger, sorrow and happiness condensed his and her life for nearly thirty years. For others, this is just a movie and a story, but for Pang Qian and Gu Mingxi, this is their real life.
The movie has an ending, but life has to continue. Everything is just beginning.
The lights began to light, and Gu Mingxi and Pang Qian were ready to leave with the crowd.
When Pang Qian stood up with the handrail, she felt her waist sore. She put her shoulder on Gu Mingxi and said, "I'll support you and walk. I've been sitting for too long, and my bones are ache."
"Do you want to find a place outside to sit and rest for a while?" Gu Mingxi asked worriedly.
"No, I just sit for too long, just walk for a while."
Her eyes were still red, and her hands supported Gu Mingxi's shoulders and slowly moved out. Behind them was another young couple, and the girl was also wiping her tears. Her boyfriend kept comforting her: "Okay, don't cry, it's just a movie. In the end, they got married, it's not a tragedy."
"What do you know?" the girl said, her eyes suddenly focused on Gu Mingxi's back in front. She wiped her eyes and looked carefully. She found that the man wearing a blue plaid short-sleeved shirt really had no arms.
The girl didn't know what to say for a moment, and watched Gu Mingxi and Pang Qian walk away, then said to her boyfriend: "Did you see the right one just now? The woman has a big belly, a man, just like Mr. Ostrich in the movie, with a handicap."
