111 Encounter in the canyon
The man not far away was tall and strong, with a strong and sturdy figure full of Viking brutality and roughness. His light brown curly hair looked unruly, his deep facial features had a look of slovenly vicissitudes, and his messy beard covered most of his face. , but still can't hide the boldness between the eyebrows.
At this time, like Renly, he had a non-slip pink cloth bag hanging around his waist, and a bright red rope hung behind him. He had just started climbing the rock with his bare hands, and his position was diagonally below Renly, but even so, the orange The yellow T-shirt is also soaked with sweat..
“hamilton？”
After seeing the other person clearly, Renly's voice was also full of surprise. He searched every corner of his head and imagined everyone he might meet here. But he never expected that he would meet this guy here, and two people. Also on the way to rock climbing with bare hands, this is really fun.
Andrew-Hamilton, the youngest son of Duke Hamilton, is the same age as Renly and has two older brothers. He was Renly's roommate at Eton College. Since he was the youngest member of the family, he inherited His title is none of his business, and his business is none of his business, so he basically enjoys life as he pleases. The legendary "libertine" refers to him, a true model in reality..
Renly has never been a follower of rules. He pretended to compete for the position of dormitory master at Eton College, and then openly and wantonly broke the rules, such as turning on the lights in the dormitory at midnight and kicking everyone out; For example, sending an email to inform everyone in the dormitory that the class time has changed, but the teacher is faced with an empty classroom..
His most famous incident at Eton was undoubtedly driving three boars into the dormitory, causing a commotion in the dormitory. It took a whole night and eighteen staff members to calm down the commotion..
At that time, Matthew Dunlop and Andre in front of him were Renly's accomplices - or in other words, followers..
Despite such blatant provocation to the authority of Eton College, Renly was still not expelled from school. His down-and-out baron father was of no use, and Matthew's baron father was also speechless. The real reason was Andre - his My father is a Duke, and my mother’s family background is also well-established..
However, after graduation, Andre went to Oxford according to his family's plan. As we all know, Oxford is the stepping stone to enter the political circle, while Cambridge is more of an academic hotbed. From this, we can see the family origins of Duke Hamilton. It seems that the Hall family was all born in Cambridge - so they are getting more and more depressed, and the Hamilton family was all born in Oxford.
The contact between the two gradually became less and less. Later, Renly dropped out of school to go to the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, and the contact gradually disappeared. The last time the two met was at the New Year's Eve party in 2007, wearing tedious hand-tailored clothes. Wearing suits, we communicated with gentlemanly etiquette while wearing fragrant clothes and drinking glasses; nearly three years passed in the blink of an eye, but the two people met again on a desolate cliff, wearing short-sleeved shorts and sweating profusely. , embarrassed.
Renly grabbed the hanging piece with his right hand and dropped it in the air. It started to sway when a gust of wind blew, but he still put his left hand on his chest and nodded in a gentlemanly greeting, "Lord Andre..”
Such a greeting made Andre couldn't help but smile, so he also left his right hand free and made the same gesture, "Your Excellency Renly." Andre's eyebrows also showed an expression of joy, "Why are you here? I heard that you went to the United States to take on a new challenge. I was quite envious at first..”
“I believe the rumors are definitely not true." Renly's teasing made Andre laugh heartily..
According to rumors, Renly has fallen into Hollywood and is in a worrying situation, and George and Elizabeth have officially frozen Renly's bank account, so Renly is now so depressed that he has pawned watches and jewelry, and his life is difficult..
The life of aristocrats is always too boring, and they need more exciting materials to spice up their lives..
But Renly didn't mind, "I just finished a job and need a short vacation to relax, so..." Renly showed himself: free-handed rock climbing, which was his vacation choice, "Then you What about you? You look like this..." Renly didn't speak immediately, but paused, "Alexander shouldn't let Charlie see it." Charlie is Andre's father, and Alexander is Andre's eldest brother. Obviously, Andre is also an outlier in the Hamilton family..
“Staying in London all day is not a wise choice. Those guys are either hypocrites or masked people. I am only twenty years old this year, not sixty." Andre's disgusting tone vividly awakened Renly's memory. , the hearty laughter echoed in the canyon. "I still remember that when we went to Switzerland for vacation, you showed off your downhill skiing, which really opened the door to a new world for me, so, I Appeared here.”
“Obviously, I am still the one who leads the way for innovation." Faced with the confidence revealed in Renly's understatement, Andre shrugged, "I can't refute this." Both of them couldn't help but smile.
“Are you planning to go back to London next? "Andre asked curiously.
“Oh, no, even you are running away from there, how could I throw myself into a trap? "The humorous tone made Andre couldn't help but smile. Renly pulled the rope again and said with a smile, "I'm ready to go down. You should continue going up. Then we'll talk next time." Freehand rock climbing is a It is a very physical exercise. It is impossible for everyone to stay at one point for a long time. That is just asking for death..
Andre nodded, grasped the fixed point again, and then began to adjust his breathing, "I should go to the United States in a while, but I haven't decided yet whether to go to Hawaii or the mainland first. Oahu in December this year Are you ready to participate in the surfing competition on the north shore of the island?？”
“We'll see then, I'm also looking forward to finding the next job when I go back." Renly said with a chuckle, the two of them looked at each other and said hello, then Renly began to lower the rope and slowly went down. Got it.
Andre took a deep breath, concentrated his attention, and then started to climb up again. He was like an agile leopard. He kicked lightly with his toes, using his right hand as a support point, and his whole body flew into the air. The left hand stretched to its maximum extent and grabbed the bulge diagonally above. He retracted his feet sharply and stepped on the support point accurately. Then his right hand released and grabbed a cliff crack next to it..
On the other hand, Renly was slowly descending in an orderly manner. The haze that had been trapped in his heart for more than a month finally disappeared. Although the confusion about expressionism and methodism in his heart was still waiting for an answer, the shadow of "buried alive" was still there. left behind.
He raised his head and looked at the top of the cliff not far away. It seemed so close and yet so far away. Today he still failed to successfully reach the top. This is like his life, the road leading to his acting dream, leading to the world of acting challenges. It is destined to not be so smooth. This is just the first bumpy road he has encountered. Renly can't help but feel excited and can't wait to meet the next challenge and start the next attempt..
Such a life is not worth living in vain.
With a relaxed smile on his face and his feet landing smoothly, Renly began to remove his equipment. He heard the sounds of bustling in his ears. He turned around and looked over. A small group of about five or six people had just arrived at this relatively flat rock. , it seems that they should be another group of challengers.
Looking down for a moment, Renly noticed the cumbersome tools in their hands, which looked more like top-rope rock climbing..
He withdrew his gaze and continued to pack his equipment, "The climb just now was very thrilling. Although I regret not being able to succeed, the performance was really wonderful." A friendly voice came from the side. This is very normal. During the extreme sports challenge, , even strangers are willing to chat, just like the middle-aged man and Andre just now, "It's such a shame.”
Renly smiled, "The unpredictability of nature is one of the charms of rock climbing, isn't it?？”
“Of course, of course." The other party laughed and scratched his head a little cautiously, "The difficulty of free-handed rock climbing is really too high. What I just saw was terrifying. Therefore, the little accident at the last moment is even more regrettable. Yes." He showed his neat white teeth, paused, then stretched out his right hand and took a step forward, "Paul Walker）.”
She has short blond hair, blue eyes, and a bright smile. Her eyes are shining with enthusiasm and kindness, as if the stars have fallen into her eyes like the sea..
Paul, who starred in the "Fast and Furious" series, now has a place in Hollywood, but he has no airs at all, he is sincere and calm.
Renly also extended his right hand, "Renly Hall.”
“Is this your first time trying free solo rock climbing? " Paul shook his head as he spoke, with a shy smile on his face. "It doesn't look like it. This is my first time trying outdoor top rope rock climbing, so I'm a little nervous. I used to surf, but now I want to try something else. something new.”
“This is my first free rock climbing." Renly couldn't help but slightly raise the corners of his mouth, "To be precise, I started training two weeks ago and did my first practical operation three days ago. Today is my The third try." Paul's eyes widened with a surprised look on his face, making no attempt to hide his surprise. Renly shrugged, "So, you can definitely do it..”
Only then did Paul realize that the other party was cheering him up, and scratched his head again, "Huh, you always have to try something new, right? In addition to the sea, there are also mountains, forests, and deserts in nature. We know too little about them. Got it.”
“This is a fact." Renly pursed his lips, "But I don't think surfing is a simple thing. Last summer I was on the Gold Coast and almost embraced the sea forever. I really want to show you my legs. The scar on the leg, but I thought it seemed too girly, so I decided to shut up.”
“Ha ha! Paul laughed heartily, "Then I'd better not show the scar on my butt/butt.".”
“Next time, there will definitely be a chance next time." Renly joked, packed up his equipment and picked up his backpack, "Well, good luck today! "While saying goodbye, Renly turned and left the big rock - it was already a bit crowded now..
“have a nice day! "Paul waved his hand and said loudly.
