Under One Person: My comprehension is unmatched.

Chen Duo Emergency Treatment Center Group

Zhang Chulan: I've sacrificed so much for Chen Duo...

Zhang Chulan: We'll be heading back in two days. Do you have any projects planned?

Erzhuang: How about we go shopping?

Black Pipe: I happen to be in Central China. I'll go back to get some things and then head back to Liupanshui.

Xiao Zizai: Should we go straight back?

Wang Zhenqiu: Black pipe, just say what you want to say.

Black pipe: Take a camera and take a picture.

Everyone:?

After the company's temporary workers retrieved the camera from the black tube, they immediately waited to board the plane back to Liupanshui.

After the plane landed, Hei Guan'er did not take them back to Biyou Village. Instead, he went to the city and spent a lot of money buying many picture frames. Moreover, Hei Guan'er paid for all of this out of his own pocket, without using the company's reimbursement account.

In a small town, a group of people carrying large and small bags arrived at a square.

The clarinetist directed the group to hang the backdrop on a wall and set up a few simple folding stools.

The backdrop wasn't a solid color; it was Tiananmen Square or some famous tourist attraction. In this way, a very simple photography studio was set up.

Then, Hei Guan'er took his DSLR camera and walked towards the elderly people sunbathing in the square. He said something to them, and one of the old men came over.

He looked at the group of temporary workers and said to the man with the black pipe, "Really, it's free?"

Hei Guan'er nodded and said, "It's free. You can take the photos once they're out."

After receiving confirmation from the clarinetist, the old man nervously sat down in the chair, but an awkward scene unfolded when he faced the clarinetist's camera.

The old man was very nervous and didn't know where to put his hands. Hei Guan'er, on the other hand, was experienced in this kind of situation. He went up and talked to the old man for a few more minutes, and then taught the old man how to press the camera button.

When the old man was less nervous, I took another picture of him, and this time, the result was very good.

Wang Zhenqiu looked at the clarinetist holding a DSLR camera and said, "I didn't expect the clarinetist to have this hobby."

Zhang Chulan also joked, saying, "You know what, the camera paired with his messy hair really gives him an artist's air about him."

With the help of Lao Meng and his team, the framed photo was handed to the old man.

The old man grinned as he took the photo, but his smile froze as he looked at himself in the picture and the central square behind him.

He carefully placed the photo frame on the cardboard box, reached into his pocket, and took out a handkerchief.

Inside the handkerchief was a plastic bag containing ten or twenty yuan in change. He pulled out twenty yuan and handed it to Lao Meng, saying...

"That's great, that's great, it even has a frame, we can't just leave it at a loss."

Old Meng repeatedly declined, but when the old man saw that they really didn't want money, he told them to come with him to his house to get some stools.

The group didn't refuse. Zhang Chulan and Wang Zhenqiu went with the old man to his house to get a few plastic stools. When they returned, the two had already become familiar with the old man.

This old man is named Wang Erliang. He served in the army when he was young. The last time this photo was taken was also in Tiananmen Square, when the troops went to Vietnam. The instructor took the photo for them.

The old man who followed again, holding an old photo frame, spoke somewhat embarrassedly.

"Um, could you take another picture for us? I'll pay you this time."

The group looked at the black and white photo in his hand, unsure of what to say. Hei Guan'er, perhaps used to such situations, chuckled and agreed.

This time, Wang Erliang didn't sit down against the backdrop of Tiananmen Square. Instead, he solemnly held the photo frame, capturing this moment.

After receiving the photo, Wang Erliang returned to the crowd excitedly.

In just a moment, the group of elderly people sunbathing all walked over here, and Hei Guan'er handed the DSLR camera to Chen Duo and said.

"You've learned everything I taught you yesterday, right? Now you can take pictures of them."

Chen Duo waved her hands and shook her head repeatedly, saying, "No, no, what if I can't film it well?"

Hei Guan'er shoved the DSLR camera into Chen Duo's arms and said.

"It's okay. If the first one doesn't turn out well, just take a few more. They won't mind."

As the two women were arguing, two elderly women, leaning on canes, walked towards Chen Duo, who had the camera. One of them said, "Will you take my picture for free?"

Hei Guan'er didn't reply, but gestured for Chen Duo to step forward and negotiate. Chen Duo had never seen anything like this before, so she could only nod repeatedly.

The two elderly ladies chose a landscape backdrop. Chen Duo was indeed a little nervous this time, and the photos she took were somewhat distorted. Fortunately, the two old friends didn't mind.

Next came an elderly couple. Encouraged by the other elderly people, they held hands and took a photo together. In the photo, they both smiled happily.

Perhaps these two people provoked the two former best friends, because after the photos of the elderly couple were brought out, the two of them looked at them for a long time.

One of the thin old ladies approached Chen Duo and spoke.

"Daughter, daughter, when are you leaving?"

Chen Duo was interrupted while taking photos and heard this form of address, so she was a little flustered and just pointed to the photo frames in the box.

Wang Zhenqiu, who was standing nearby, said, "Old man, once we've used up the photo frames in this box, we'll leave."

The old man looked anxiously at the rapidly decreasing number of picture frames and said in a pleading tone.

"Could you please slow down the filming? I'll go get my husband. I don't need the frame."

"Alright, alright, go ahead, no need to rush."

Upon hearing the other party's agreement, the old woman hurriedly rushed home. However, she did not appear until all the photo frames were used up and only her old best friend remained at the scene.

After waiting a while, a figure finally appeared again on her way home, and she really did go to call her old man, except that he had now turned into a thin photograph.

The old woman held her husband's portrait, her smile as radiant as the couple's, freezing that moment in time.

After she finished taking the photos, her best friend sat down on the stool again. This time, she didn't hold her cane in her hand, but leaned gently against another stool.

At this moment, it was no longer the cane her husband used, but her husband, smiling, taking a photo with her...

After everyone left, Hei Guan'er set up his DSLR camera and took a few photos of everyone using time-lapse photography. After the photos were ready, he handed them to Chen Duo and said...

"This is the world outside the cave. This is all we can show you in the past few days."

Zhang Chulan said, "Chen Duo, there's still one day left. During this time, we won't be following you anymore."

As he spoke, he pointed to Chen Duo's head and continued.

"We can't change your mind, but we can give you the opportunity to choose."

......

On the seventh night, Chen Duo stood on a large rock at the top of the mountain, with a dark cliff below her. Behind her, a soft light shone from the mountainside, which was the location of the Cultivation Pavilion.

She had been standing on this large rock for half the night. The mountain wind made her sway slightly. As the final moment approached, she took out the photo from her bosom.

Under the moonlight, she took a deep look at the photograph in her hand, then threw it off the cliff.

This is a solo photo that Hei Guan'er took of her. In the photo, she seems even more reserved than the old man, sitting very upright.

Then she turned around, patted the photo in her pocket, and ran towards the body-cultivating furnace...
