Flames

Chapter 51

That day was so happy, the band members roared in the small rehearsal room, singing and dancing non-stop, like a noise maker with a perpetual switch.

It wasn't until the music break that someone heard the quarrel between Dawei and Broken Tooth from the corridor, and opened the door of the rehearsal room in a panic.

In the open space in front of the counter, the rice cooker was still connected to the plug, but it was overturned, and the soup and water were scattered all over the floor.A skinny uncle and an angry strong man just looked at each other and twitched the corners of their mouths from time to time.

"What's the matter?" Leng Lie walked over to stop Dawei, kicked the plug of the rice cooker out of the socket, and asked.

"Ask him!" Panting heavily, Dawei pointed to the broken tooth on the opposite side, turned around and sank into the sofa behind him.

No one could figure out how these two guys, who seemed to have nothing to do with each other, could be so deadlocked, and they froze in place for a moment.

Broken Tooth didn't make a sound, it just made the air heavier.

"Leng Lie," Dawei rested on the sofa for a while, adjusted his breathing and said to Leng Lie, "I found your father!"

"What?" Before Leng Lie, Suo Yan yelled suddenly. You must know that during this period of time, he had been secretly inquiring about Leng Muyang behind Leng Lie's back.But that person left suddenly three years ago without leaving any clues behind. He didn't believe that Dawei could find it so easily.

"What...what?" Leng Lie came back to his senses, and slowly cast doubtful eyes on Dawei.

"Your father, Leng Muyang!" Zhou Dawei squinted his eyes, rubbed his fists vigorously, then suddenly got up and pointed to the broken tooth not far away and asked, "Did you know about those crap things a long time ago, deliberately You sent me to Wang Xiao Entertainment? You already knew that I held a grudge against Leng Muyang, so you secretly sent me there so that they can continue to control me?"

"Brother Wei, what are you talking about? Can we sit down and talk about it?" Suo Yan held his breath, looked at the heads protruding from other rehearsal rooms, and turned the people around the bar to his own. Push in the rehearsal room.

In the cramped rehearsal room, the lively atmosphere just now had long since disappeared.

His cold head was buzzing, and for a moment he even felt that the scene in front of him was a little swaying, as if he had returned to the feeling that would appear when he sat alone on the door pier and looked up at the sky when he was a child without food - fuzzy and empty, his body Feeling light and uncomfortable in my stomach.

Frankly speaking, when he learned that his father Leng Muyang and Guo Zhanpeng had done bad things, he thought about digging out that person.He wanted to personally question the other party—whether what Dawei said was true.

But now, he suddenly panicked again, he was afraid, he was afraid that Leng Muyang would appear suddenly and say——yes, those are all true.

This is the reason why he would rather have the same nightmare than search for any information about Leng Muyang in the past few months.

But now, Dawei said that he knew the whereabouts of his father? !

"I... know where your father is." Dawei's voice became calmer, approached Leng Leng, reached out to wipe off the sweat from his forehead, and said, "At Wang Xiao Entertainment, he is the big boss behind the scene."

"Huh..." Leng Lie's shoulders sank, and he sank into the chair, silent for a long time.

No one dared to open their mouths to ask about Leng Muyang's recent situation, for fear of accidentally touching a fragile nerve of Leng Lie.Everyone stayed silent with him, waiting for him to wake up by himself.

"Brother Broken Tooth, do you know how happy I was when I was recommended by you to go to Wang Xiao Entertainment. At that time, I really saw a new life." Zhou Dawei saw the cold silence and continued to speak loudly, "But What! I'm a fool at all, and I don't even know that I was betrayed. Do you know who Leng Muyang is now? Do you know how disgusting he is? Didn't you say that you walked the crooked road I walked on? Is it? Then you must be very aware of the unconscionable things he has done?"

"Brother Big Wei!" Suo Yan patted Zhou Dawei's arm, signaling him not to say that in front of a cold face.

But Dawei didn’t, he continued: “Whatever you say, go there and make a report, it’s considered safe. Brother, do you know that Leng Muyang is purely with Guo Zhanpeng! You’re dragging me out of a pit of fire Come out and push it into another fire pit."

Leng Lie gradually regained his senses, and slowly turned his gaze to Brother Broken Tooth who followed, and asked, "Is it true?"

Broken Tooth has nothing to say, what can he say.

He said that since Lie Yan's arrest of Dawei in City W, he knew from his elder brother Leng Muyang that the Leng Lie who has been coming to his rehearsal room to play is his nephew?He said that Leng Muyang was not what Guo Zhanpeng claimed at all, but a lunatic who was willing to try all hallucinogenic substances for inspiration?He said that these years, Leng Muyang has really done all kinds of good things to save the drug-addicted youths in the circle?

Who will believe these words when they are put on a person who has disappeared for many years and has a criminal record of drug abuse.

So, without saying anything, he just took out his mobile phone from his pocket and made a call.

When the phone was connected, everyone could only hear him say helplessly: "Brother, let's get out of the mountain."

Everyone present had already guessed that the person on the other end of the phone must be the legendary Leng Muyang, who was elusive and haunted.They all held their breath quietly and dared not speak.

"Let's go, take my old jeep to take you there." Broken Tooth said the last sentence, and he was the first to push open the door of the rehearsal room and walk out.

Several boys jumped into the old car with broken teeth one after another, and curled up coldly in the corner of the back row.Slowly feeling that the car had traveled a long way, he struggled to stop.

What is his father to him?It used to be a high point of light.Unlike those fans who are obsessed with Leng Muyang, Leng Muyang in Leng Lie's mind is a small spot that ignited his childhood.He learned guitar with him, listened to rock records with him, and called brothers and sisters with those nonsense adults in the courtyard.He was the first to see the world Leng Lie, and it was also the place where Leng Lie was afraid and wanted to hide.He let Leng Leng see how depressed a father can be, but at the same time let him never look down on him in his heart.

What an amazing emotion.

But now, the Leng Muyang in Dawei's mouth has long been a devil who does all kinds of evil, do you still want to recognize this person as his father?Or never see him again, just pretend that person is still living in a certain corner?

He hesitated, his mind was confused, but he squeezed Suo Yan's hand with all his strength.At this moment, Suo Yan was also in a complicated mood, just pinching him over and over again.

Half an hour later, Broken Tooth led a group of boys to a row of private houses in the east of the city.

In the past few years, tourism development has been carried out here, and a lot of farmland in the suburbs has been acquired, but the development of the site has been slow, and only the tower has been enclosed to collect money.

Leng Lie and Suo Yan were stunned for a moment after getting off the car, isn't this the place where Suo Yan took Leng Lie to see the sunrise for the first time.

"The air here is good!" Broken Tooth said, sniffing his nose, walking in front with his hands behind his back.

The group followed Broken Teeth into a residential house with half of the wall demolished. The layout was similar to the courtyard house Leng Leng lived in when he was a child, but a little more primitive. , drooping dryly.

There was a very familiar feeling in the coldness.It was getting dark, and the cold air was wanton, reminding him of the cold alley when he was a child.

"Coming?" The door of the main room was pushed open from the inside, and a middle-aged man in a gray robe with long gray hair and a shawl couldn't see his expression clearly in the dim light of the corridor.

"Brother, don't let these brats worry about you." Broke Tooth said, and went into the side room familiarly, and boiled water on the stove.

Dawei, who is sharp-eyed and familiar with the rock and roll of the older generation, was the first to exclaim: "Cold... Leng Leng Muyang!"

Suo Yan, Jin Min, and Yang Kai also became cramped at the same time, and the legendary Leng Muyang looked somewhat immortal, completely different from what he saw in the old videos.

"Leng Lie?" With a smile on his face, Leng Muyang walked slowly down the steps with his hands behind his back, and he cast his gaze directly at the boy he met standing in the courtyard.Unlike when he was sent to compulsory drug rehabilitation by the community, this child has grown taller and matured now.

Leng Lie stared blankly at Leng Muyang, only felt that his nose was sore, but his eye sockets were dry.He moved his steps slowly, and just took two steps forward before turning around quickly.Looking up again, I saw a wall that had been pulled down, and in the distance was a city tower surrounded by neon lights.Once, their father and son were so close.

"Dad!" Turning around coldly, he flew into Leng Muyang's open arms.

Smelling the breath of an adult man he was no longer familiar with, which was also mixed with a faint scent of sandalwood and tea, Leng Lie suddenly cried without warning.

At that moment, when that tight arm encircled him, he suddenly realized that his father was his father.In his heart, there will always be an important place reserved for this person.Whether it's a former drug addict, or the vague image in other people's legends who can't tell good from bad, or this person in front of him who looks a bit fairy-like.

Dad is dad!If he wants to hug him tightly, he will never let go, and after this life together, he will never leave anyone!

"Haha." Leng Muyang smiled brightly, and he suddenly smiled as he hugged his son's shoulders.

Lie Yan's group of boys were still stunned, especially Zhou Dawei.He came here with the intention of avenging his parents, but now seeing Leng Muyang's calm appearance, he seemed to have no anger at all, and suddenly he felt that Brother Broken Tooth hadn't lied to him.

"Let's go, it's cold, go back to the house and talk." Broken Tooth brought boiling water, opened the door and let a group of people into the house.

The room overlaps with Leng Leng's childhood memories, the layout of the whole cabinets of books and records is almost the same.It's just that the smell that wafts out is different. In my memory, the room always smelled of musty and tobacco, but now, besides aromatherapy, there is only the smell of tea.

"Sit." Leng Muyang smiled modestly, and the orange ceiling lights in the room illuminated his face very ruddy.

Sniffing coldly, he found a sofa to sit on, and Lie Yan's group scattered and each found a place to sit.

Broken Tooth poured water for the boys, and Jin Min and Yang Kai got up to help.Dawei leaned closer and asked, "Uncle, where have you been all these years?"

Leng Muyang lightly twirled the Buddhist beads on his wrist, raised his hand to rub the center of his brows, his gray hair hung down his shoulders and he wore a gray robe, like a person walking down from a portrait.

"Let the children worry about it." Leng Muyang sat in a grand teacher's chair, leaning his elbows on the armrest, a childlike and innocent smile floated on his cheeks, "I've been here all the time, watching you silently."
