Volume 1 Frontier Chapter 1 This is not filming
In the clear blue sky, a red sun hung high above it, radiating a blazing light towards everything below.
A young man walking alone on the grassland unconsciously stopped, looked up at the sky, and looked down at the road in front of him full of weeds and gravel, and the worry and uneasiness on his face became more and more intense.
This is a young man in his twenties, wearing the most common sports T-shirt and sweatpants, a pair of sneakers of a certain brand on his feet, and a mountaineering bag more than half a person high on his back. He looks quite handsome, especially the pair of eyes under a pair of long eyebrows, which are shining brightly, coupled with the high bridge of the nose, giving people a sense of angularity.
This young man's name is Lu Jin, he has just turned 20 years old this year, and he is a college student. His parents were history and language teachers, which allowed him to receive a culture that was far beyond that of his classmates from an early age, and even a large history book such as the 24th History was read by him long before he graduated from high school.
Coupled with the heavy burden of schoolwork, Lu Zhen has never enjoyed his youth well. It wasn't until he entered college, with fewer coursework, and that he had grown up to be a human being, that he had the opportunity to make his own decisions. So this time, I took advantage of the summer vacation to invite a few classmates and friends to visit Inner Mongolia.
Originally, everything went smoothly, and Lu Zhen not only experienced the vast scenery completely different from the city, but also learned local customs such as horseback riding and archery. Unexpectedly, just three days ago, when a group of them were wandering around under the guidance of the guide, they were caught off guard by a sudden thunderstorm and strong wind.
When the terrible weather finally ended, Lu Zhen was very surprised to find that he was alone on the empty and lonely grassland. Although everything around him didn't seem to make much difference, there was always a faint uneasiness that haunted him in the depths of his heart.
Now, the food and water he carried with him were about to be eaten, and after taking out his mobile phone again and finding that there was still no signal, a trace of fear had invaded Lu Jin's heart.
In the past, he had seen some travelers on his mobile phone or computer news, especially college students, who died and went into an inaccessible place and finally got lost and trapped in it. Most of these people will be rescued by rescue teams who arrive in time, but there are also a few who are unlucky enough to disappear or have their bodies found many days later.
And now the environment he is in looks more like the latter, in a place where there is no mobile phone signal, Lu Jinzhen is a little helpless, and he even began to regret the decision to travel before.
The only hope now is to meet some Mongolian herders in the steppe. With the local hospitality, I am sure that I can eat a few good meals with them, and then return to the city with the help of them. Thinking of this, Lu Zhen only felt that his stomach was growling, but he was even hungrier.
But the little bread and biscuits left didn't dare to eat casually, Lu Zhen could only grit his teeth and endure it, and after taking a sip of water, he continued to pull his legs and walk forward. It's just that there is not much difference in the scenery here, whether it is front and back or left and right, which makes him have the illusion that he is not going around in circles.
Fortunately, after walking for a while, Lu Zhen saw a small high slope faintly in front of him, which made his spirits suddenly lifted. If you can climb that high slope, you might be able to find someone with a wide view. He hastened his pace, hoping to get to the place before dark.
The road was smooth, and soon it was not far from the high slope. Then, something else happened that made him a little excited, because he heard the neighing of horses and men in front of him. Although the voice was a bit loud, it seemed that hundreds of people were approaching from the other side of the high slope, which was very contradictory to the silence in the vicinity just now, but Lu Jin couldn't care too much, he just wanted to quickly find someone for help.
Although the high slope was a little steep, and Lu Zhen was already very tired, he still struggled upward, relying on the support of the sapper shovel in his hand, and struggled to climb the steep slope of seven or eight meters, and then the scene below was already unobstructed!
"it!" After seeing the situation below, Lu Jin couldn't help but let out an exclamation.
On the steppe two or three miles away from him, there were thousands of people hurrying forward, half of them on horses, and the other half were tied by ropes, staggering forward. When one of these men fell to the ground with unsteady steps, some of the men on the horses would whip them up from the ground, and force them to continue on like cattle.
Moreover, these guys are dressed very strangely. Only a few of the men on horseback were dressed in extremely shabby leather armor, and many more were covered only in sackcloth, and their hair was long, and some of them were missing in the middle, as if they were bald. After Lu Jin, who has some research on history, took a closer look, a word flashed in his mind - hair, which is a popular hairstyle among many steppe nomads that has been handed down in history.
The men who followed the horses also had long hair, and some of them had their hair coiled up and had a hairpin on it, but their bodies were generally unbearable, except for a few ragged ones, and more were naked, even barefoot on the gravelly road.
Seeing all this, Lu Zhen was a little dumbfounded, what age is this, and is there anyone still dressed like this? The Mongolian compatriots he met before were dressed in ordinary life not much different from those in the city, and only when there was a celebration would they wear their national costumes. But the outfits of these people in front of me are too backward.
"Could it be that they are making some kind of film and television drama?" Soon, another thought flashed out of Lu Jin's heart, which was not impossible, although it seemed to be very different from the costume dramas he knew.
Because of the influence of his parents, Lu Jin's understanding of history far exceeds that of his peers, which makes it easy for him to pick out various problems when watching those historical TV series. Those so-called historical dramas that are full of modernity from costumes to utensils to dialogues really make him unbearable.
In addition, in order to save funds, some crews only use a small number of group performances to perfunctory big scenes, historical dramas have always been synonymous with shoddy production, and only a few works can satisfy Lu Jin's family.
And the current scene, looking at it is very realistic, at a glance, you can think that this is the scene of the Mongolian people, or the grassland nomads who invaded the border of the Han people and returned with a full load and robbed the population. If future film and television dramas with historical themes in ancient costumes can achieve this level, then Lu Zhen will be very interested.
But then, another question that puzzled him also arose - the actors are here, where are the directors, the crew, and the most critical cameras and other shooting equipment?
Everything down the slope was so unobstructed that apart from this group of people, there was no one else around, let alone photographic equipment. Subconsciously looked up at the sky, Lu Zhen didn't notice the existence of an aerial camera on it, this thing is really weird.
Don't...... A crazy and frightening thought suddenly popped up from the depths of his heart, but he quickly denied it: "This is impossible, this is not scientific!" ”
At this moment, an even more amazing scene suddenly appeared in front of Lu Jin-
In the crowd that followed the horse team staggering forward, someone suddenly broke free of the rope that bound him, and then let out a loud cry, turned his head and ran to the side. Apparently this one is on the run.
After this sudden turn of events, the captives were in a commotion, and it seemed as if more people were going to flee with him at any moment.
And the knights in front of him immediately scolded loudly after turning their heads and seeing this scene, and then someone raised the whip in his hand and whipped it down so hard that many prisoners rolled on the ground and let out a scream, which could clearly enter Lu Jin's eyes from some distance.
But at this time, he did not pay any attention to these sufferers, for he saw a scene that made him even more frightened—the two knights, after the man had escaped a few meters away, had quickly taken the bow and arrows from the side of the horse—they were two very crude wooden bows—and, without any hesitation, drew the string, took aim, let go, and the two sharp arrows turned into two phantom shadows and crossed the distance, and plunged into the back of the fugitive.
A terrible scream before death suddenly sounded, overshadowing the screams of the captives, and clearly reached Lu Jin's ears, making his whole person violently.
Although there was a distance away, he could still clearly judge that the scene of the arrow shooting into his back was not fake, and that the fugitive who only struggled twice after being hit by the arrow and then stopped moving was really dead!
It's really dead! This is not filming at all, but real killing!
With this thought, Lu Jin only felt a cold air rushing from the tail vertebrae into his backbone, making his whole person feel the chill in this hot summer: "What...... How so? What the hell is going on......"
And just when Lu Zhen was full of panic, something that scared him even more happened - the knights below the slope had suddenly turned their heads and stared at Lu Jin, who was standing on the top of the slope in a daze, overlooking all this - he had revealed his hiding place.
Without hesitation, two knights took off their bows and arrows, and immediately took aim. Just when Lu Zhen sensed that the situation was not good and wanted to dodge, two sharp arrows were already shooting towards his body with a whirring scream, one after the other.
In the blink of an eye, the arrows had come to him, and the energy they brought made Lu Zhen feel a tingling pain......
