Chapter 198 196. Kindness does not necessarily bring good rewards
In the gorgeous sunset, there are a few stars in the clear sky, the spring breeze blows slowly, and the smell of green grass is mixed with the coolness brought by the snow-capped mountains in the distance.

The white sheep graze leisurely in the grass, and the yaks snort and look at the sunset in the sky.

Chen Li'an, a tall horse, waved his whip lightly, and Li Dabai, who was sitting in front of him, felt the evening wind with his face up, enjoying this moment very much, as if he was isolated from the rest of the world.

Chen Li'an watched the setting sun about to fall into the valley, and began to increase his speed, shouting the slogan taught by Duoji to drive the flock of sheep and cattle.

Herding is now Chen Lian's part-time job after filming. Anyway, he is out to play, and learning how to herd along the way will also make him more suitable for the role.

Li Dabai was able to sit on the horseback very well at this time, leaning his body slightly on Chen Li'an's chest, listening to his loud and clear shouts, watching the flock of sheep obediently gathered together under Chen Li'an's driving, heading towards the house. direction to move slowly.

When Li Dabai was immersed in the moment, Chen Li'an's melodious singing suddenly came from his ears.

In that distant place, there is a good girl, people pass by her tent, they all turn their heads and look nostalgic.
I would like to wander in the grassland and herd sheep for her.
I would like to be a lamb and follow her. I would like to keep hitting me with a whip every day.
Li Dabai's heart was filled with unspeakable emotions at this moment, sweet panic occupied her whole heart, she turned her head to look at Chen Li'an's bright black eyes, she knew that she fell in love with this man thoroughly at this moment.

The heartbeat in a long life is only a moment, but it is unforgettable enough.

Before the night fell completely, Chen Li'an drove the cattle and sheep back. After jumping off the horse vigorously, he reached out to catch Li Dabai who was about to jump off, and firmly caught her and put her on the ground.

Li Dabai looked at Chen Li'an's dark face, and felt a primitive wildness in him, and the strong masculine aura made her a little fascinated.

In the small building not far behind them, Mr. Zhou and Ning Jing stood in front of the balcony drinking tea, watching the scene quietly.

"Aren't you angry?" Ning Jing asked after taking a sip of pastry tea and looking at Mr. Zhou with a calm expression.

Mr. Zhou put the cup on the railing, and said nonchalantly, "There's nothing to be angry about, just come back at night."

Ning Jing glanced at Mr. Zhou's chest in a daze and said, "You are quite open-minded."

What should I do if I don't open up, it's good to be able to tighten Chen Li'an's belt, if you want to lock his heart, don't fantasize about it.

After a while, Chen Li'an ran upstairs and saw Young Master Zhou and Ning Jing drinking tea together, so he went over to pick up Young Master Zhou's teacup and took a sip.

"Who made it? It tastes good." Chen Li'an put down his cup and said.

Mr. Zhou wiped the corner of Chen Li'an's mouth with his hand, and said with a smile: "I followed suit, you like to make you another cup at night."

Chen Li'an nodded, not noticing that Li Dabai who followed him went back to his room silently with his mouth held shut.

Looking at Chen Li'an and Mr. Zhou who were interacting sweetly, Ning Jing felt that the tea in her hand was not fragrant at all, so she took the cup and left, and went back to sleep early, otherwise she would be too noisy to fall asleep again.

At night, Li Dabai lay under the blanket and looked at the ceiling silently, and the images of the afternoon always appeared in her mind.

That sweet feeling will always be accompanied by a bit of bitterness after aftertaste, Li Dabai silently turned over and sighed silently in the dark.

Mr. Zhou in another room is currently competing with a pile of newspapers. In tomorrow's scene, Xue Er will fold the newspapers into a kite, but Mr. Zhou will not.

Chen Li'an looked at the waste newspapers on the ground and said, "The prop teacher will fold it for you, you just need to learn about it."

"I think it's very fun, just practice it casually." Young Master Zhou looked up at him and said with a smile, "Maybe I can make kites for my own children in the future."

Chen Li'an suspected that Mr. Zhou was pointing at him, but he didn't take it to heart when he thought that her personality didn't seem like she liked children.

On the afternoon of the second day, Xueer, who was dressed in red by the small river on the prairie, sat on the grass and deftly folded the newspapers brought by Jones into a kite, and Gaga looked at her adoringly.

It's just that the contents of the newspaper made people feel heavy. The photos of Guo Lianjun's invasion of Jincheng, burning, killing and looting were so eye-catching. (Deliberate typos...don't spray.)
Xue'er's hands are very clever and her mind is very pure. Looking at the foreigners in military uniforms in the newspaper, she didn't know what was written in the specific content. She just wanted to make a kite for Gaga.

Sanger and Jones stood aside with their hands wrapped in string, waiting for Cher to fold the kite.

Jones held the kite folded by Xueer and called Gaga to take the kite and fly together. The two laughed happily.

Sanger was lying on the grass looking at the sky, and Xueer was sitting next to Hua Quack, with a happy smile on her face.

Sanger turned his head to look at Xue'er's profile, with a smile on his rough face. He liked this woman, but he didn't dare to express his love.

Quack's mother passed away a few years ago, and Sanger didn't know how to tell Quack, whether Xue'er would accept him, whether Xue'er would think that she wanted to repay her kindness
Xue'er likes the life here, it is simple and peaceful, there will be no ruthless father pushing her to sacrifice, everything is so pure, and there are people she likes.

The eyes of Xue'er and Sanger collided slightly, and after a brief touch, they separated shyly.

Such a happy picture is particularly moving, everything is so innocent, as if it is the most beautiful thing in the world.

The camera not far away recorded this scene completely, and everyone in the crew seemed to forget that they were filming an anti-Japanese war movie at this moment.

How can such a beautiful scene be associated with a brutal war?

Soon Feng Xiaoning called a stop, packed up his things and prepared to turn the scene, Mr. Zhou and Chen Li'an walked side by side, and said with some melancholy: "The more beautiful things are, the more cruel they are when they are destroyed. I don't know how to play the rest of the scene." .”

Chen Li'an was biting a piece of grass in his mouth, and the taste of the grass in his mouth was a bit astringent and also tinged with sweetness. Looking at the snow-capped mountains in the distance, he said: "Only a strong contrast can make people unforgettable. That period of history itself is cruel. We It’s just restored in the camera, and it’s not even one-thousandth of its cruelty.”

The first half of the whole movie is pure and beautiful, and the filming was also very fast. After the transition, Chen Li'an and Ning Jing ushered in the first rivalry scene in this movie.

Dan Zhu, who was wearing a white dress, looked at Sanger on the horse and said, "Come and hunt with me tomorrow."

Danzhu is the headman's daughter who is a noble lady, and Sanger can't refuse such an order.

The next day Sanger came to the hunting ground, but when everyone was hunting, Sanger didn't shoot a single shot.

Danzhu looked at this taciturn man, full of curiosity in her heart, she knew that Sanger was a warrior, no worse than those noble sons, even much stronger.

"Why don't you hunt?"

Sanger shook his head and looked at the shotgun in his hand and said, "I don't kill anything except wild wolves."

Such words caused ridicule from the surroundings, and Danzhu also laughed, but he didn't mean to look down on Sanger, but recognized his character even more.

It's just that her admiration doesn't make Sanger tempted in the slightest, Xue'er is in his heart, even if Dan Zhu is the headman's daughter, Sanger can't let Sanger take another look.

But soon a lone wild wolf appeared on the grassland. Everyone looked at Sanger, wanting to see if his marksmanship and bravery were just on the lips.

Sanger held up the shotgun and watched the unthreatening wild wolf not shoot for a long time, and finally just watched it walk into the depths of the grassland.

Don't kill animals, only kill wild wolves, but now they don't even kill wild wolves that don't threaten them. In Danzhu's eyes, Sanger's behavior is not cowardice or bragging, but a kind of strength of tolerance and kindness.

After performing this part, Chen Li'an put down the shotgun in his hand, and couldn't help thinking about whether Sanger's behavior is good or not. In the movie, the colonel Sanger rescued was a wild wolf.

Though he was no threat at the time, he later brought slaughter and war to the land.

From the bottom of Chen Li'an's heart, he does not approve of such behavior, but from the perspective of Sanger, his choice seems to be right.

From God's point of view, Chen Li'an naturally thinks that Sanger's kindness is stupid. Your kindness and help will not be rewarded. It will only make those enemies look down on you even more, and then raise their rifles against you.

It's as if the Gaul Chicken's help to Brother Ni's illegal immigrants, the rewards they get are simply wonderful, blindly kindness is useless.

Not only the Gallic chicken, but also many places have the same ending. In the thousands of years of human history, such things have emerged endlessly, but everyone will naively think that their kindness will be rewarded beautifully.

Kindness will be rewarded, but only if it is kindness to your friends and not to your enemies.

Soon Sanger's kindness was "returned", and the colonel returned with the army.

He held the khata to meet his friend, but the colonel on the horse looked at him, silently pointed the rifle in his hand at him, and used bullets to tell Sanger that he was not a friend but an enemy.

All the clansmen who came with Sanger were shot and killed by the enemy's bullets. Sanger looked at all this in disbelief, looked at the cruel and cold-blooded colonel on the horse, and stood with the colonel, also collapsed Shout out to Jones.

When the war begins, kindness cannot drive away the invaders, but kindness will be used by the invaders.

After the war scene started, the whole crew became busy, and it was no longer as peaceful as before. Everyone was in a state of depression and worked hard.

It seems that everyone wants to finish filming this scene quickly, and can't bear to see such a beautiful thing destroyed.

Chen Li'an also gradually became silent. Jones and the colonel would always hide between filming, as if they felt ashamed to face others.

During the filming, Chen Li'an and the others looked at them with hostility and hatred after entering the scene. Although they knew it was fake, they still couldn't help substituting it in their hearts.

The scenes of the war changed a lot. When Chen Li'an and Jones came to the temple again, the colonel and Jones were silent.

In this scene, the colonel wants to take down the murals in the temple and take them away, so as to bring such magnificent art to a more civilized society.

Jones strongly opposed it, but he was a soldier and could only obey orders. He couldn't figure out why he wanted to impose his own civilization on other people's homes.

After the filming of this scene, Jones took the initiative to find Chen Li'an and sat in front of him and said: "War is the plunder of civilization. I thought of those cultural relics that were brought back to Western museums, and suddenly felt ridiculous. In your Chinese language, is it nothing?" The more you want something, shameless behavior!"

Looking at Jones's appearance, Chen Li'an couldn't help but untied the Erguotou wine bag on his waist and handed it to him, saying: "Those are already history, and no one can take anything away from us now, but other places are still there. Being robbed is like being caught in a cycle of history."

Jones took a sip of the wine, blushed from Erguotou's pungent taste, and remained silent for a long, long time.

The filming is still going on, and Chen Li'an and Mr. Zhou are going to wrap up soon.

Sanger and Cher died in this war, but in the end Sanger violated his belief and he killed.

On the city wall, two people fell in front of powder barrels filled with explosives, and the ground was full of gasoline.

The colonel came to them and wanted to persuade Sanger to surrender, but Sanger took out the lighter that the colonel gave him from his pocket when he was shot in his arms.

It's time to return the enemy's gift to him. The lit lighter was thrown out by Sanger, and a raging fire was ignited in an instant.

In the fire, Sanger hugged Cher tightly, watching the flames and explosions take the lives of these invaders.

Quack, who lost his father, led them silently at Jones' request and walked towards the most dangerous swamp on the grassland.

At the end of the movie, Gaga and his grandma stood together looking at the jackal who fell into the swamp and Jones who pointed a gun at him.

Jones looked at the young Gaga, feeling extremely painful in his heart, he was his comrade-in-arms on the one hand and his friend on the other.

Jones struggled for a long time, put down the gun in his hand, and staggered away.

After the film was finished, everyone had smiles on their faces again, but this time the smiles were heavy, as if the cruel scene during the day was still surrounding them.

The bonfire in the yard was blazing, and the blazing flames seemed to be like flames of war. The sonic boom of firewood sounded from time to time, which always reminded people of gunshots.

The aroma of food also lost its charm at this moment.

Feng Xiaoning didn't have as many thoughts as before at this time. There would be no real shooting of Xue Beng without real shooting. Compared with those later scenes, an avalanche has no effect in the movie, it will not add luster to the movie, and it will not let Themes get thicker.

Seeing everyone's silence, Feng Xiaoning stood up and said to them: "The film is finished, everyone should be happy, remember history but life must go on, come on, let's have a toast together! Thank you to the soldiers who sacrificed in history!"

Feng Xiaoning's words broke the silence in the dark night, everyone looked at him, and then raised the cups in their hands.

Amidst the crisp sound of wine glasses colliding, the atmosphere seemed to become warmer, and Dorje sat in the corner with Quack in his arms and sang a melodious song.

Dorji's wife brought out the kumiss with a smile, and then sang along with Dorji's singing with the girls of the Z ethnic group.

Chen Li'an looked at Erguotou with only half a bottle left in his hand and smiled, then dragged Mr. Zhou and Li Dabai to dance around the bonfire.

Ning Jing sat in the distance, watching their dancing figures, and brought over Chen Lian's unfinished Erguotou.

After taking a sip of the wine, he hummed softly along with Duoji's singing.

On such a night, no one seems to care about the little things of love between men and women. They just want to dance happily and forget the cruelty and sadness.

Singing and wine, dancing and food are the melody of the night.

Chen Li'an held a bowl and drank a cup with everyone, blushed and staggered to sit next to Ning Jing, then patted her on the shoulder vigorously and said, "Thank you."

Ning Jing hurt a little from being patted by Chen Li'an, her hands were like iron plates, but looking at the dizzy Chen Li'an, she could only sigh helplessly.

Chen Li'an poured himself a glass of kumiss and touched the Erguotou bottle in Ning Jing's hand and said, "Toast to you! Thank you."

"Thank you!" Ning Jing looked at Chen Li'an, who was unconscious but very serious, and couldn't help but said, "I'm just helping to set up a line. If I continue to thank you like this, I won't be ashamed."

"If I really want to thank you," Ning Jing murmured in a low voice, and Chen Li'an put his arm around her shoulder and asked inaudibly: "What did you say? I didn't hear clearly."

Ning Jing said angrily: "It's nothing, just drink your bar!"

"Oh..." Chen Li'an drank the wine in the bowl and poured it on the table with a bang.

Ning Jing looked at the drunk and unconscious Chen Li'an, then looked up at Mr. Zhou and Li Dabai who were still dancing, and muttered in a low voice: "I can sleep well tonight, um. Then go to bed early."
