Rebirth of the Boy Jinshi

Chapter 30 I propose to you, will you agree?

After a bumpy dirt road, Shen Gu took Xu Muyang to the destination.

He took the watermelon in Xu Muyang's arms, pointed with his long arm, raised his chin and nodded to the big screen not far in front of him, "Here! The movie has started, let's go."

"Wait!" Xu Muyang thought he was confused, "Are you sure we are watching a movie?!"

Shen Gu stroked his chin and said, "Well, although the movie is a bit shabby, it's free to watch. You can enjoy the stars and the moon in the open air, and absorb the essence of the sun and the moon. I think it's pretty good."

Xu Muyang was speechless, "Shen Gu, you are really good."

He thought that the so-called watching a movie meant going to the movie theater to buy two tickets, and then sitting comfortably on a chair, enjoying the visual effects brought by the huge screen.It never occurred to him that Shen Gu took him for half an hour, turning on roads and back roads, and the movie he took the trouble to watch was an open-air movie!

Although he finds it amusing.

A huge white curtain was propped up with two bamboo poles, and black and white movies were shown on the curtain. The picture quality was rough, and the sound quality was not very clear. If the sound was slightly louder, there would be a rustling sound.Occasionally, a child passed by in front of the curtain, and the black shadow was reflected on the curtain, covering the movie in darkness.Two meters away in front of the curtain was a large group of people, including men, women and children. The chairs they sat on were all brought by themselves, including wooden four-corner chairs, long benches, and bamboo chairs. The one sitting at the back was a big chair.

When Xu Muyang approached the crowd, he realized that there was an old-fashioned projector in the middle, and two people who seemed to be playing movies stood by and operated it.The night is not as bright as the day, and their movements cannot be seen clearly only by the small light bulb on the projector.Around the projector, many children looked at the machine, as if they were curious about how the movie was released.

"Cousin, here, here!"

Suddenly a figure in the crowd waved at them. He couldn't see clearly, but his voice sounded very young.

Shen Gu held the watermelon in one hand, and led Xu Muyang towards the figure with the other, "I have reserved a seat here."

Xu Muyang thought it was funny, can you reserve a seat in such a place? "Then you are very good, we have been late for so long, do you still have a place?"

Shen Gu turned his head and grinned at him: "I'm a person with a background, it's a matter of minutes to reserve a seat."

He walked up to a ten-year-old boy, patted him on the shoulder, "Xiaoshu, do you have a knife?"

Xu Muyang: "..."

Ask someone to bring a knife when they meet?Is this a fight as soon as we meet?

The boy named Xiaoshu froze for a moment, "No."

Shen Gu pushed Xu Muyang to sit on a bench, "Xiaoshu and I are going to cut watermelon, you sit and watch, I will come later."

"Hey! You..." Just as Xu Muyang was about to say a few words, Shen Gu took Xiaoshu away.He sat on the stool, feeling a little embarrassed because he was unfamiliar with the place.But the people around him didn't pay attention to him, they were engrossed in the movie.

Seeing that no one noticed him, he was relieved, and his gaze followed the crowd to the movie.

This is an anti-war film, black and white.Xu Muyang didn't know any of the stars in the movie, so it should be an old movie.Whenever the characters inside hold a gun and "bounce" to shoot bullets, the sound effect from the speaker next to the projector is touching, rough and deafening.

Not long after, Shen Gu and Xiao Shu came back, he was holding two half watermelons, and Xiao Shu was holding a watermelon cut into a half-moon shape in each hand.

Shen Gu handed Xu Muyang a watermelon with a spoon stuck in the flesh.He looked up at the curtain, "Why is it "Tunnel Warfare" again? I've watched it several times."

Xiaoshu smiled and said, "You know, grandma likes to watch this."

Shen Gu sat next to Xu Muyang and introduced, "This is Xiaoshu, my cousin."

"Xiaoshu, my classmate, Xu Muyang."

Xiaoshu was a little shy, "Hello."

Xu Muyang nodded to him, "Hello."

As soon as the voice fell, there was only a "bang", the landmine in the movie exploded, and then the machine gun "chug", "bouncing", and the sound of several weapons mixed together.The voice was too loud, and it was impossible to say two more words.

Shen Gu was very interested in watching it, and while digging watermelon to eat, he talked with Xiaoshu about the movie.

Xu Muyang has never seen a movie played by this old-fashioned projector, and his greater curiosity lies in the projector.It's a pity that the thing is a little far away from him, and there are many people separated, so the light is not good enough to see clearly.

"How is it? Does it look good?" Shen Gu suddenly whispered in his ear.

"It's fun." Xu Muyang said, "I've never seen an outdoor movie before."

Shen Gu seemed a little complacent, "I've learned a lot this time."

Xu Muyang wanted to laugh when he saw him being so snarky, "You have gained a lot of knowledge, but you are too stingy. If you say you want to watch a movie, you can go to the movie. Take me to an open-air movie. It's free, it's free." Forget it, there are still so many people, so many people I also forget, you brought me here not to watch a romance movie but to watch an anti-war movie."

As he spoke, he remembered that Shen Gu said that he wanted to pursue him, lowered his voice and joked with a smile: "Others chasing their sweethearts, why don't you go to a regular movie theater to watch a love movie, only you are so unique, why don't you come A movie package?"

Shen Gu turned his head and looked over, the two looked at each other, his eyes were so bright that Xu Muyang felt a little embarrassed watching, don't turn his head and pretend that he was watching a movie.

"First of all, I want to explain to you why I took you to watch an outdoor movie."

Shen Gu looked at him with burning eyes, "We have been to ordinary movie theaters, I think they are too ordinary and ordinary, they all have the same pattern, once you see it, you will forget it, I want to give you a special memory, so that ten years 20 Years later, every time you watch a movie, you will think that when you were 17 years old, a man named Shen Gu took you to an outdoor movie. The old projector passed the old film and put the old movie on the curtain. Time is very slow. The moonlight is very good, full of a sense of age, and you will never have this kind of experience in the future. Even if we are separated in the future, I hope you can remember the extraordinary things that I have brought you to do."

"Secondly, I think I'll consider your suggestion of booking a venue, but I'm not sure I can do it. Because this kind of movie is hard to see now, the times are advancing, and more and more advanced and convenient movie theaters will appear one after another in the future. Things that do not meet the requirements of the times are destined to be eliminated. I can see it today because of my grandma’s [-]th birthday. The family has spent a lot of effort to find someone to show the movie to please her. If, next time, I will book a place for you An old movie, I propose to you, will you agree to me?
