Eight thousand miles of rock and roll

Chapter 8

Yue Yanli's mood at this moment can only be described in four words, and he feels ashamed.

Dragging his heels behind Xu Gang, his head was downcast.

Think about this kind of thing, hehe...

The teahouse is not far away, and it took only 10 minutes to walk from the hotel where I stayed.

Before eight o'clock, the guests were all over the place, all of them holding mobile phone video recorders, and most of them were tourists.

Taking a peek at Xu Gang, the other party was cheerful and showed no sign of impatience.After buying a ticket, he grabbed Yue Yanli's sleeve and sat down in an empty seat.

After pouring tea and asking for a plate of melon seeds, there was a sound of gongs and drums hitting the heels on the stage, and the maid helped Lu Fengying, who was wearing a phoenix crown and a summer peacock, to enter the stage.What I sang today is "Bridal Chamber", a part of the back edition of "Butterfly Cup" in Qin Opera.

Taking advantage of drinking tea, Yue Yanli squinted at Xu Gang quickly.The man looked leisurely and contented, and listened with great interest.

A little inferior.He really can't hear it well.He couldn't even hear the difference between Qin Opera and the Kunqu Opera that he was dragged to listen to in City A.It's all babbling, all kinds of don't understand.

Lu Fengying sang, "I worshiped the heavens and the earth with you, the general, and entered the bridal chamber. At that time, she couldn't bear it!"

Xu Gang burst into laughter, and said something in a low voice.

Yue Yanli was distracted, didn't hear clearly, thought he was talking to himself, hurriedly leaned over and asked in a low voice: "What did you say? I'm sorry I didn't hear clearly."

"Let me say," Xu Gang pressed against his ear, his hot breath piercing his ears, "It's been the same throughout the ages. After entering the bridal chamber and doing things, women are dead set on it."

Unexpectedly, Xu Gang spoke nasty words, Yue Yanli was stunned, and quickly sat up straight, staring at the two people on the stage intently.

The light was very dim, and with the help of the lights on the stage, one could see that the man's eartips and cheeks were slowly turning red.

On stage, Tian Yuchuan and Lu Fengying sang enthusiastically, while Yue Yanli offstage suffered from cats scratching her heart.

The arm was touched by Xu Gang, and the man's shoulder leaned against him, almost whispering: "Do you think Lu Fengying looks pretty? It's a man."

Yue Yanli didn't know what he wanted to say, but he was getting more and more uncertain and panicked.

"I think," Xu Gang still refused to give up, and made up with a chuckle before he stopped provoking him for the time being: "If you look like this, you will look better."

Now Yue Yanli couldn't listen to the Qin Opera anymore. He put his hands on his knees, palms up, and curled up slightly for a while, then let go, as if nervous.

After the first fold opera was sung, the stage was replaced by shadow puppetry.

The fun and enjoyment of the shadow puppet show has improved a lot, and the language performance is both humorous and full of local folk customs.As for the processing of light and shadow art, it is even more amazing. Not to mention the vividness, the details are in place, and even the facial expressions can be changed.It was only after he went out and heard Xu Gang that he knew that these puppets were made by the heirs of the national intangible cultural heritage who were performing, and they were very ingenious.

Gradually fascinated, Yue Yanli also forgot the panic of being "molested", and looked at the stage wholeheartedly, laughing and admiring together, in admiration.

The later Huayin old tune is simply the most primitive loess high slope rock music. The voice is straight and high-pitched, majestic and heroic.

After leaving the door at 09:30, Yue Yanli felt that he couldn't get enough of it, and caught Xu Gang talking non-stop: "The last Huayin old accent is so interesting, the voice is bright, the accent is high, and the mountain sound of smashing benches..."

There were a lot of people at the end of the meeting, Xu Gang listened carefully, and sometimes stretched out his hands to help him block people, the gentleman's appearance was overwhelming.

After walking on the road for a while, it is far away from the Bell Tower and Muslim Street, the crowds around are naturally dispersed, and the air feels fresh and comfortable.

"I think," Yue Yanli pretended not to notice Xu Gang's thoughtfulness, although his face was always hot with a low fever: "Ethnic is rock, this concept is really great. I have also heard some bands doing this I always feel a bit scratchy and missed the point, Xu Gang, you can try it, you are so powerful..."

Xu Gang froze for a moment, frowned and rubbed his brows: "It seems that some people have praised me like that. Xu Gang, you are so powerful..."

"That," Yue Yanli pursed his lips, more like changing the subject, and casually pointed to a small stall with light bulbs hanging on the side of the road: "Fried Nongpi, do you want to eat? I'm a little hungry."

Heart pounding.Haven't you all forgotten?How come you still remember the insignificant words you chatted on Q back then?

The two of them sat on a small horse, and a large stainless steel bowl was placed in the middle of the rough long table in front of them. Inside was red and oily spicy peppers, and the light bulbs hanging from wires above their heads swayed in the wind.

The proprietress poured the bean sprouts and ham sausage into the pot, and there was a sharp sound, and a spicy and warm smell wafted in the air.

Xu Gang lowered his head and concentrated on breaking off the disposable chopsticks, grinding the ends of the two chopsticks to remove those small burrs.

"I used to have a netizen who hit it off very well. He also likes rock music. We often discussed it. He said, Xu Gang, you are so good. He kept saying that it made me feel so good. I really thought I was very good. Heh, now that I think about it, I was really young and vigorous back then."

Two plates of fried stuffed skins were served, Yue Yanli looked at the chopsticks that Xu Gang handed over and thanked him, then realized something was wrong: "It seems that I shouldn't take you to eat such an unclean roadside stall , performing tomorrow night, just in case..."

"Where are you so delicate." Xu Gang picked up a chopstick and ate the stuffed skin into his mouth, praising: "Try it, it's very delicious. By the way, if you don't speak cleanly, the proprietress will be unhappy when she hears it."

Annoyed by his slip of the tongue, Yue Yanli said, "I'm a little carried away. I forgot that there are many taboos you can't touch before the performance." Chili, wine, roadside stalls.Damn it.

The man stared at him, and after a while he smiled and said, "I find you very interesting, you think you're getting carried away, why do I see you looking forward and backward. So much rock and roll is for nothing."

Xu Gang eats very quickly, but he doesn't feel like he's devouring food.If watching people eat can be called enjoyment, someone like Xu Gang should be at a relatively high level.

Xu Gang put down his chopsticks, and Yue Yanli only ate half of it.The man lights a cigarette: "No rush, take your time."

"What happened later?" Yue Yanli knew he shouldn't ask, but he didn't stop: "What happened to your netizen later?"

"Lost contact." The faint smoke drifted into the cold air and quickly disappeared: "You should know that I was in a car accident and lay at home for two years. During that time, my health was not good and my memory was not good. People forget."

The man was a little dazed, staring at the chili pot on the table without blinking: "After that, I remembered one after another, and I couldn't get in touch."

"You... have a good relationship?" Yue Yanli's heart was pounding, Yue Yanli took a mouthful of stuffed skin, and it was tasteless.

"Very good." Xu Gang smiled: "That kid is smart, and he talked a lot, and found that he and I are quite compatible."

"Child," Yue Yanli bit his lower lip with trembling lips, "It's not easy."

Xu Gang squinted at him, with a slight tease: "Don't talk to me, these news are worthless even if they are sold to paparazzi."

"How can I talk to you?" The ears were burning shamefully, Yue Yanli threw the chopsticks indiscriminately and stood up: "Let's go, it's so spicy."

............................................................

"The last time I stood in City C, a friend said that he was sad after listening to the last song "Beacon Fire Yangzhou Road." Xu Gang on the stage was a little confused, holding a microphone and talking slowly, but Yue Yanli didn't think he would Say this.

"Today's last song, I think everyone is familiar with it, let's sing together." Xu Gang smiled, lowered his head slightly, sweat beads hung on the tip of his stiff nose, hanging but not falling, the air is filled with Hot androgen: "Shame on me."

Feeling strange in his heart, Yue Yanli remembered the dream he had.In the dream, he was also singing about being ashamed, high-spirited, arrogant and confident.

Everyone who listens to rock is very familiar with the prelude, and Bao Qiuqiu and the drummer chorused together: "Oh..."

The ten songs boiled down, and Yue Yanli felt hot all over, especially the urge to yell.

He remembered that a long time ago, his father saw him stretching his neck while listening and singing, shaking his head and laughing, saying, "I don't know what's good to hear, howling like a lunatic..."

Xu Gang's singing voice is very clean, without showing off his skills or dragging his voice, it is crisp and neat, with a charming flavor.

"In the crowd of people, there are you and me, meeting and acquaintances and pondering each other..."

Yue Yanli rubbed his nose, his eyes became hot.

He remembered the big tea mug he had boasted about. The man was obviously very proud, but he deliberately acted like "I won't be knocked out by your two sugar-coated cannonballs after seeing the big winds and waves in the world", so arrogant and cute.

He is really talented, he was when he was young, and he still is.

Unlike those trolls on the Internet who say that Xu Gang can only sing saliva songs at the last song of every fan club, Jiang Lang is at his wit's end.

He felt sorry for him to strive for it, it took a lot of thought, and he re-arranged the music, which is obviously a tribute to the classics.

He never asked Xu Gang, but he knew, it must be like this.

"...Don't say too much that you know what you and I want to do. Don't care about a lot, let alone be sad, you will understand me one day..."

The man on the stage has passed the most wanton golden age. Even if the life of rock and roll is not dead, it will not last for a hundred years, especially for individuals.

He has experienced the stars and the moon, and his talents and learning are astounding as a young man.He experienced a sudden fall at the peak moment, and the car accident caused everything to return to zero.Then I was depressed and couldn't get out of the hospital bed for two years.Fans are forgetful and ruthless. Singers come out one after another, and liking is just a mirror image. How can there be so much long-term love?What's more, in these quiet years, the man suffering from illness has not even released a single.It's no wonder it's been forgotten.

Perhaps only Qi Min and the [-] or [-] members of the fan club who never gave up knew that Xu Gang never gave up.

His later works were not many, but the first one can be called a boutique, with high quality.The style is becoming more and more mature and inclusive, with distinct but settled features.However, when these works were released, the demo samples were only circulated in the small circle of hardcore fans, and they were exchanges and interactions between friends, and they were not pushed to the market at all.

A little sour.Yue Yanli wiped his eyes, and sang loudly together, as if no one would listen.

"Among the crowds, I saw you again, just as charming and beautiful.

Slowly relax and slowly abandon, but still don't care..."

A few youthful boys and girls stood beside them, pulling banners and singing hoarsely.

Even after a gap of more than ten years, there are still people who like him, whether they are born in the [-]s or born in the [-]s.This feeling is really good.

There was a commotion at the end of the show.

The young men who had been standing beside Yue Yanli rushed to the stage without hesitation, and hugged the sweating Xu Gang.The members of the band on stage tried to separate them, and even Sister Hong ran up the stage nervously on her high heels.

There was a girl who lost her composure and cried, hugging her tightly and refusing to let go, her voice was hoarse and she was still shouting: "Father Xu, I love you! I want to marry you! You can marry me..."

There were more than a dozen loyal fans of the fan club, standing there looking at the stage, smiling and shaking their heads.

It feels like going back in time.After the high-spirited performance of the band Talker and Dumb, there are always all kinds of gorgeous girls rushing up one after another. The motorcycle suit is short to the navel, and the long legs are bare under the hot pants. They ask for kisses and autographs. The style is hot and the courtship is also vigorous.

He clearly knew that this was just a child who was dazzled by hormones for a while, and it was not unheard of for him to go too far.But Yue Yanli was still a little bit upset and sour.

At the gymnasium in City B back then, the crazy female fan pulled off her clothes and pointed boldly at her choppy chest, which was only covered with black lace underwear: sign here!

Back then at the New Year's Eve concert, just as Xu Gang and Bao Qiuqiu came off the stage with a guitar, a girl with a shaved face and wearing leather jacket and hot pants rushed up, her flaming red lips ignoring her arrogantly and covering Xu Gang's face stamped.

None of this is surprising.

Heartbroken, Yue Yanli didn't want to look any further, turned around and walked slowly towards the exit.

Behind him, Xu Gang had successfully comforted the excited girl, and looked at Yue Yanli's back thoughtfully and narrowed his eyes.

The author has something to say:

It's over, it's Calvin again, crazy~
