Eight thousand miles of rock and roll

Chapter 5

City C is a hot and passionate city, a place where many people don't want to leave once they come.

Xu Gang frankly said that almost no one would know him, the fan club broke up, and after a half-hour rest, he went to Hongyadong with Bao Qiuqiu.

Standing in the Hongya Cave at night and looking down from above, the river is flowing darkly, and there are high and low ups and downs on the other side of the river. Sparkling illusion.

The music played in various bars is fighting, your home is a classic old song and then look back, my home is a trip to folk songs.Lively and lively, like the hot and tumbling butter old hot pot in C city.

Xu Gang and Bao Qiuqiu were sitting on the corridor at the entrance of the bar, holding a bottle of cold beer, looking at Jinger with the wind blowing in the river, occasionally making two sentences that were more like three and a half sentences, Bao Qiuqiu was those three sentences, Xu Gang is the half sentence.

"If you want me to say what kind of beer you drink, you can pretend to be a coward, and you don't want to eat hot pot if you want to eat it. Have you been smashed by the drumstick?" Bao Qiuqiu is a foodie. He can't eat too spicy and is very greedy. He has always been thinking about C City. Er's hot pot Malatang Maocai noodles: "You see, you are an outsider who doesn't know how to sell goods. This small bottle of beer is worth 35? Or is this slice of lemon worth more? Is it hammered out of gold leaf?"

"We are foreigners." Xu Gang took a sip of beer.In fact, he just came out to relax and catch his breath. Asking for a bottle of beer is purely the same concept as buying a bottle of mineral water in a convenience store.

Bao Qiuqiu was convinced, and simply asked directly: "It doesn't matter, I want to eat hot pot. If you don't go, I'll call and ask Sister Hong if she's finished."

After hanging up the phone with a few words, Bao Qiuqiu beamed with joy: "Sister Hong said that she would go to the air-raid shelter to eat hot pot in half an hour. Boss Xu, are you going?"

"No, I'll go back to sleep." Xu Gang waved his hand, with a good temper: "Then you go, it will take time to take a taxi."

Of course, Xu Gang was defeated in the end, and was dragged to eat hot pot by Bao Qiuqiu, who confidently claimed to be an official CP and a stalker.

The once very popular movie "Hot Pot Heroes" made the hot pot in the air-raid shelter a big hit. Every day, there are fans and customers who come here admiringly. Even the road under the elevated road at the entrance has people taking the trouble to take photos from various angles. I wish I could copy it as it is. .

It was almost twelve o'clock at night, and the store was still full.

Bao Qiuqiu and Xu Gang walked all the way inside, until they reached the innermost point, only to see Sister Hong waving to them: "Here."

On the table, the mandarin duck pot that made the index finger move, black hairy belly and yellow throat beef rolled into mutton slices, all kinds of tables were set up, and sister Hong was sitting on the side of the stool leg of the bench. Opened a big cardboard box, revealing the big green bottle inside, Shancheng Beer.

Xu Gang didn't know whether to say it was a coincidence or not.In fact, it was such a coincidence.

Sister Hong was not sitting alone. Apart from Qi Min, the president of the fan club, and her assistant, the little girl who received gifts, there was also a man with a slightly reserved expression on the table, the man who asked him to sign his name on his ankle.

Eating with fans may be something that needs to be carefully planned for other big names and superstars, but here with Xu Gang, it is really free to eat when you want.What's more, it's not the first time he and Qi Min sat down to eat together.

Sister Hong smiled and introduced: "Gangzi, introduce two new friends. Bai Luo, President Qi's new assistant. Yue Yanli, your veteran diving fan, was dug out by President Qi with his keen eyes."

It turned out that his name was Yue Yanli.

This supper was a pleasure.

A powerful fan was blowing, and the environment was not as comfortable as a star hotel with clean windows and cool air-conditioning, and even the ground was wet due to the return of humidity and alcohol.But none of these can affect everyone's high mood after drinking.

Sister Hong and Qi Min are both heroines who are extraordinarily free-spirited, and they are also top-notch drinkers.Bao Qiuqiu clearly knew that he couldn't fight, but he still had the stupid idea that if he was a man, he couldn't say no, he had a drink with the two of them one cup after another, which directly caused him to drink to the point of unconsciousness.

Xu Gang was slightly drunk, propped his forehead and watched the two women roll up their sleeves to kill each other, with a relaxed smile on the corner of his mouth.

Yue Yanli didn't drink too much, his face was flushed, but he was a master of drinking.

In my memory, there was a blurry face that was also red like this, but that face was much younger. I don't know if it was eighteen or not.

I also went to drink after the concert that day.He drank from Sanlitun all the way to Guijie Street, and after drinking until he couldn't even walk, he insisted on holding on to the man's arrogance and face so that he would not let Sister Hong send him off, so he walked back slowly.

As soon as I walked out of the Guijie intersection, I felt my stomach churn and my knees went numb, and I squatted on the side of the road and vomited up and down.

Later, the boy rushed over from nowhere, supported him and asked if it was all right.

The later memories are a bit fuzzy. At one point, after the car accident, I couldn’t remember it for a while, as if someone had erased it with an eraser.It took a few years to slowly recover before they were reconnected following the star-point connections.

The young man was very nervous, talking incoherently, saying that he was a fan of his, and that he came out of the Gongti stadium, stayed there all the time, followed him to Sanlitun, and then followed him to Guijie Street.

At the end of the memory, it is the worst thing that Xu Gang has never done in his life.He put the boy to sleep.

"Gangzi, what are you thinking? Come here, let's have another drink!" Sister Hong was in high spirits as she drank, and the woman had shallow crow's feet wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, but it didn't damage her charm at all. The four of us are sober, come, don’t go back if you’re not drunk.”

Xu Gang finished his drink without changing his face, but actually wanted to add, Sister Hong, you won’t go home unless you’re drunk, but if you’re really drunk, you won’t be able to go home, right?

When I came out of the hot pot restaurant, the night was cold and there were fewer vehicles on the road. The hustle and bustle of the city was finally covered with a gentle veil, just like a delicious spicy hot pot followed by a bowl of iced bean curd, how pleasant it is.

Bao Qiuqiu mixed garlic under his feet, which was not much different from spreading mud.

Sister Hong and Qi Min supported the little girl Bai Luo from left to right, while Bao Qiuqiu could only throw it to Xu Gang and the drunk Yue Yanli.

"Xiaoyue, please help me send the bun back." Sister Hong drank the wine and called out Bao Qiuqiu's nickname, but she didn't show any kindness to Yue Yanli: "Gangzi, you look so big, you don't know how to be gentle at all." , can’t take care of people at all.”

Xu Gang was very helpless: "Sister Hong, are you the one who disrupted the stage like this? At least my fans are here."

Sister Hong and Qi Min laughed crookedly and presumptuously: "The fan club is a family, and a family doesn't speak two different languages, isn't it Xiaoyue?" Looking at Yue Yanli with a smile in his eyes, Hong nodded honestly. The elder sister was even more proud: "I didn't say that you wet the bed when you were a child or that you had a crush on others and dared not pierce the window paper..."

"Stop, stop." Xu Gang held his forehead and said, "I promise to take good care of Bao Qiuqiu, can't I?"

Taking a taxi all the way back to the hotel, Yue Yanli sneaked glances at Xu Gang from time to time, the drunk man thought he was doing a perfect job, completely unaware that his clumsy peeping had been discovered long ago.

Some people actually like themselves so much because they like their songs.Xu Gang was a little flustered, the vanity and face of those big men that he hadn't had for many years hovered above him, it was a kind of complacency that he couldn't help.

Taking advantage of his drunkenness, Xu Gang himself did a stupid thing naively——

When Yue Yanli was about to stop at a red light near the finish line, when Yue Yanli pretended to look around through the drunk and unconscious Bao Qiuqiu in the middle, Xu Gang stared back.

He thought he was just trying to catch something, but in fact, he fell into the eyes of a third party, either as an adulterer, or as a drunken fool.

Yue Yanli was stunned for a moment, but his ears turned red.

This is really-

"We're at the place." The driver master broke the gradually restless atmosphere between the two with a mouthful of authentic mountain dialect.

Throwing the dead drunk back to his room, both Xu Gang and Yue Yanli were sweating from exhaustion.

Xu Gang was fine, after all, he was doing physical strength training during this time, even if he was a soft-footed shrimp drunk and really couldn't exert himself, he was better than Yue Yanli.

"Can you still hold it?" Xu Gang looked at the other party's trembling hands on his knees and shivering legs, and made a suggestion without thinking too much: "Go to my room and drink a glass of water to rest before leaving. Seeing that you are tired It's not light."

Yue Yanli opened his eyes and looked over, his expression was mixed with surprise and surprise, as well as unbelievable hesitation.

Xu Gang felt a bit inappropriate, after all, his senior fans should know his sexual orientation, no matter how you listen to such an invitation, it seems a bit malicious——

"Okay." Yue Yanli nodded, his eyes brightened: "I hope it won't affect your rest."

"It doesn't matter." One second he blurted out annoyed himself, and the next second he continued to use his intuition to make decisions.

Until the two returned to Xu Gang's room next door.

"The sponsor paid for it, so you live in the standard room?" Yue Yanli looked around curiously: "It's the same as Bao Qiuqiu."

Xu Gang took two bottles of mineral water from the water bar, unscrewed one bottle carefully and handed it over: "The sponsor's money is also money, and I don't have too many demands on living here. Isn't the standard room pretty good?"

Yue Yanli said honestly, and took a small sip of water.

Xu Gang leaned on the cabinet of the water bar, in a condescending position, he could see the two spinners on the top of the man's head.

"The last song tonight, don't you like it?"

"What?" Yue Yanli showed a slightly confused expression, and quickly understood what he was referring to: "Fenghuo Yangzhou Road... I don't like it very much." He was very honest.

"Why?" Xu Gang drank half a bottle of water, and rarely asked seriously: "Is it because I can't sing well, or is my adaptation out of flavor?"

"No, you sang very well, even better than the original one." Yue Yanli looked a little embarrassed: "How should I put it... I don't like that feeling very much."

"What kind of feeling?"

"Just, the feeling of the first sentence."

Xu Gang was stunned for a moment, but soon realized that he was a little dumbfounded, and also a little helpless and heartwarming.Why is this person so sensitive?Unexpectedly, the association is so crooked, thinking of him, an outdated old Lianpo, now he has to ask if he can still eat.

There was a strange feeling surging in my chest, I couldn't explain it clearly.

"I'm sorry," Yue Yanli misunderstood, looking a little at a loss: "I didn't mean to look down on you. In my eyes, you have always been the best and unique. Really, it's not consolation, it's from the heart."

"Oh." Seeing him rushing to clean up his crimes, Xu Gang rarely had the evil intentions of teasing him. He attributed it to alcohol: "Actually, I also know that I am really out of date now. The reason why sponsors are willing to spend money is because Maybe it's nothing more than deep pockets, or a whim—"

"It's not at all!" Yue Yanli blushed, angry and anxious: "You don't even know the situation of the sponsor, why do you say that? You said that your love is worthless—"

Both of them were stunned, and the room was so silent that faint breathing could be heard.

Yue Yanli's expression was a little flustered, he didn't dare to look at Xu Gang, he stood up hurriedly holding the mineral water bottle in both hands: "It's getting late, I should go. You, you should go to bed early."

"Yue Yanli," Xu Gang said thoughtfully, "Do you know the sponsor?"

"No," Yue Yanli denied it too quickly: "If you don't even know, it's even more impossible for me to know."

"I was just joking, don't mind." Xu Gang stood up straight and said, "Actually, I am very grateful to the sponsor. Really, it has fulfilled my dream. I have been hesitant for ten years, and I want to quit. Not reconciled, wanting to continue but lacking the drive, I occasionally wrote songs for Sister Hong and the others, and they said it was good, but I knew that if it was really a commercial operation, it would definitely not make money, and the market would be bleak and out of control. This time, the sponsor found Sister Hong through a middleman. I was quite surprised, and more happy. I also thought about it. After the ten fan clubs this time, I will officially quit this circle and do something else... ...It's just that I didn't expect that after spending such a large amount of money, the other party didn't even want a name for publicity." It was rare for the man to say so much in one breath, and he felt it was new: "I haven't even said this to Sister Hong, Don't let me poke it out."
