469 Challenge yourself
The lungs were like bellows, huffing and puffing. The sound was so noisy that I began to dislike it. My feet gradually lost feeling. Even if I continued to move forward, I could not feel the pain or numbness. Just walking mechanically and numbly, but unable to stop and rest, because once you stop, it will be difficult to stand up again.
Sweat came out in large drops. Under the sunlight, it almost reached the boiling point. Then a cloud of mist emerged, surrounding the whole person, as if he was in a sauna; a thin layer of mist scattered on the surface of the skin. The particles, near the elbows and forearms, scatter like dust with the waving of the arms. They are the salt lost by the body..
The hot air, the biting wind, and the hot and cold environment made people suffer. Apart from focusing on their own steps, there was no time to think at all. The thoughts in the entire brain were pulled away bit by bit, and finally just There is nothing left. Adjust your breathing, pay attention to the soles of your feet, and enjoy the scenery. Step by step, you gradually reach the limit of your body, and you are the only one left in the world..
Fight with yourself, cooperate with yourself, get along with yourself.
On this lonely and long road, acting and the trivial matters of life were all left behind. Renly was no longer an actor, nor a reborn, but just an ordinary person, an ordinary person. Human beings, in front of nature, feel their own insignificance, learn to be pious, learn to be humble, and learn to be sincere.
“This work "Me Fighting Cancer" allows Renly to regain the opportunity to examine himself, about Chu Jiashu's ten years in bed, about Adam's death sentence, about the exploration of performance, about the fear of death, about the meaning of survival, About the pursuit of freedom and dreams... After two lifetimes of accumulation and experience, the colors of life have begun to become colorful..
Putting all matters of acting aside for the time being, Renly returned to enjoying his hard-earned second chance at life..
The Grand Canyon National Park is really a magical land. You can appreciate the majesty of the cliffs, the uncanny workmanship of the varied landforms, and the beauty of the flowing waterfalls. Then Renly started hiking in the direction of the Pacific Ocean, crossing the desert and Gobi, looking for the oasis hidden behind the rugged mountains and rocks.
Whether surfing or rock climbing, they are all challenging the limits of nature; hiking is walking with nature and challenging one's own limits, but the same thing is that in the process of challenging, every minute and every second is a so magical.
The footsteps continued to move forward, but Renly felt another protest from his body. This was obviously not the first time today. He reached behind his backpack, took out the water bottle, shook it, and found only a few pieces of water left in it. It has reached one-third of the storage capacity; it is only three o'clock in the afternoon, and there are still at least three hours or even four hours before the original camp time..
Water consumption is somewhat higher than expected.
He opened the kettle, took a small sip, and then another sip. Then, Renly stuffed the kettle back into his backpack. At the same time, he opened the small backpack on the right side of the backpack, took out a banana wrapped in plastic wrap, and broke off half of it. root, re-wrapped the remaining bananas and put them into the small backpack. While eating the bananas, they continued to move forward..
After turning the corner, the field of vision suddenly became wider. The green grass was spread out like a carpet. Several trees of unknown types stood among them, spreading their lush crowns to block the harsh sunlight and forming a dense shade. , like a desert oasis, bringing a touch of coolness.
I was thinking in my mind whether I should rest here and adjust, or continue on the road. From the corner of my eyes, I saw a pair of legs lying across the middle of the road. It seemed that I was not resting, but that my body was in trouble..
Situations like this are not uncommon during hiking. They often encounter fellow hikers and when encountering difficulties, even strangers who have never met will lend a helping hand to each other. This is not a convention. , more like a tacit understanding. At the beginning of the hike, due to lack of experience, Renly misjudged the direction, which led to him walking into the deep mountains and old forests. If he hadn't encountered the help of experienced hikers, he would have probably lost his way. In no man's land.
Without any hesitation, Renly quickened his pace slightly, and at the same time shouted, "Do you need help?" However, there was no response, Renly strode forward, his tired body regained some strength, and then The figure of that person appeared in my sight——
He lay motionless on the ground, not caring about the hotness and roughness of the ground. The sunhat on his head fell to the side. The backpack behind him was like a rock, weighing heavily on him. The place where his body fell to the ground was not far from the tree. There are still a few steps away from the shade area, and my right hand is still trying hard to reach forward, as if touching the shade, but at this time, I have no consciousness. The sun is shining unscrupulously, and the skin of the bare arm has turned red. It's red, I don't know how many hours it has been ravaged.
It seemed that the other party was walking in the sun and was exhausted due to dehydration. He originally wanted to rest in the shade for a while, but was unable to reach his destination and fell to the ground directly..
Renly walked forward quickly, took off his backpack, put it aside, and patted the other party's cheek. The other party didn't respond, and just murmured a few meaningless syllables..
Renly carefully turned the other person over, grabbed his shoulders, and dragged him towards the shade of the tree. After avoiding the pursuit of the scorching sun, he skillfully opened his backpack, took out a square towel, and then opened the water glass. Carefully pour a little on the square towel, dip some water stains with your fingertips, and gently sprinkle the water stains on the other person's cheeks..
In fact, it would be best if there was a spray bottle at this time. But Renly didn't bring one, so he could only deal with it in an emergency..
Immediately afterwards, Renly used a wet square towel to gently wipe the opponent's ears, forehead, chin and neck; then he took out the cooling oil and applied a little on the base behind the opponent's ears and philtrum, and then again Wipe repeatedly with a square towel.
“Uh." A slight groan escaped from the corner of the other party's mouth. Renly's emergency first aid measures were effective, but Renly still did not feel relieved. He opened the kettle and did not rush to feed the other party water, but dipped his fingertips into it. Dip it in clean water and apply it on the other person’s lips.
After waiting for a short while, the other party came to life, opened his eyes, and sat up with all his strength. Renly handed the water bottle forward and motioned, "Drink some water. You seem to be dehydrated." Okay. Apart from that, do you have any other physical discomfort?？”
The other party did not speak, but took the kettle. Because he was too weak, his hands were shaking slightly, and he almost dropped the kettle. Fortunately, Renly held the kettle in time, thus avoiding the "cup"”.
After the other party took four or five sips of water, he finally recovered and said, "Thank you." But the extremely hoarse voice was tearing at his throat. He raised his hand and pinched his faint hair. With a sore throat, I checked my body carefully and said again, "Thank you. I...I'm fine." He spoke intermittently, but his spirit gradually recovered..
Renly made sure that the other party held the kettle, then turned around, opened his backpack again, took out the remaining half of a banana, and also found a piece of four-box chocolate. Although the chocolate had softened somewhat due to the high temperature, it was still During the hike, there was a shortage of supplies, but these were extremely valuable items..
“Replenish some energy." Renly handed the thing over, then took out the map on the mezzanine, "The next supply point is still far away from here..." Renly confirmed carefully, "Three miles. You can do it. Stick with the past? Or should I go over first, notify the ambulance crew, and ask them to come over?.”
The other party didn't answer, and Renly didn't pay attention. His eyes still stayed on the map, confirming the rest of today's journey. His original plan was to pass by the supply point, not stop, continue moving, and then check the weather conditions. In the wild Camping; but now something unexpected happened, he decided to leave his water resources to the other party - at least half of it should be given to the other party, so his plan also needs to be adjusted.
After a moment of silence, the other party's weak chuckle came to my ears, "Did you really not recognize me? Renly Hall.”
Renly was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and looked over. His face, which had become red due to excessive exposure to the sun, even appeared abnormally brown; but there were two white patches left on his eyes, which must have been from wearing sunglasses. The traces left behind make the proportions of the entire face strange. Even the facial features seem to have moved. The visual effect affects judgment..
“……Roy Lockley？”
After recognizing each other for a while, Renly raised his voice uncertainly, and then he could see a bright light in the other person's eyes, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "I didn't expect that you still remember me..”
Renly opened his mouth slightly. Even if he said the other person's name, he still couldn't believe that the two people would meet again in such a wilderness..
Roy Lockley, the official agent of the Screen Actors Guild of America. When Renly signed the contract for "War in the Pacific", it was Roy who handled it. Later, Roy also helped review and sign the performance contract for "Buried Alive".
Later, Renly signed a contract with Andy Rogers and got his own agent, so the two of them had no chance to meet. Unexpectedly, the two of them would meet again on such an occasion..
Although they only had a few short contacts, Renly left a deep impression on Roy. Roy took the initiative to give Renly some advice, even though it was not his job, showing his good qualities of responsibility; More importantly, Roy is straightforward and resolute in his dealings with others. During the cooperation process, he can be said to be the best partner..
Renly's eyes flashed with surprise, and his smile couldn't help but add a touch of joking, "I will never forget the agent who brought me the first contract in my acting career..”
“Just handling it, not bringing it." Roy corrected seriously..
