Flames

Chapter 16

Although Suo Yan couldn't wait to have a band, he didn't express his thoughts in a hurry. After having a home-cooked meal at Dawei's house, he went back happily.

He likes to push hard and make things fall into place.

On the second day after returning home, he invited his good friend Liu Jin to take his father and mother to other places to discuss business, and changed an empty room in his backyard into a secret piano practice room.

Liu Jin sucked up the ashes for the last time with a vacuum cleaner, took off the dust mask, and stood at the door to look inside.Suo Yan laid out the violins he had collected over the years leisurely, and he did not forget to introduce: "This sunset-colored ink mark is my first violin. It's a bit laborious, but the tone is calm and the most emotional!"

Liu Jin lost the vacuum cleaner, took off his jacket, approached Suo Yan, stretched out a finger to touch the neck of the piano, smiled without saying a word.

"This one, Ibana's little white violin, is cheap. I liked the color at the beginning. It's clean. It always reminds me of someone else, so I bought it, but I haven't played it much... This one, a brand from Poland, is handmade. , five strings, a little heavy, good shape, can control any style, I will probably choose this one for future performances... this, I bought it when I went to Japan to play, you should have heard of this brand, Warwick, word of mouth Okay, but...it feels more suitable for new metal, the avant-garde kind, wait for a chance in the future...this is my baby! Butterfly, it's expensive, have you seen this Tai Chi shape? Isn't it beautiful? Don't touch it, If it breaks, ask your father to accompany you!"

As soon as he said he wanted to accompany him, Liu Jin touched it on purpose, stood up with a smirk, and watched Leng Lie set the piano up one by one: "People...RMB players! It's revealed from the beginning to the end... It smells of...capitalism's...extravagant and rotten atmosphere!"

"What do you know? When you were a kid, playing a piano worth a few million dollars wasn't extravagant, but if I bought a piano worth a few hundred thousand dollars, it would be considered extravagant?" Turning around coldly, he closed the door behind the door. , there are still a few lying here, wait until the rest of your life."

"My...isn't it...for...to support my dad, and...besides, that piano...is still worth collecting!" Liu Jin was a little unconvinced, and patted himself on the chest, " Youth group...champion...champion, you...you can...play something again!"

"Cut!" Suo Yan pressed the remote control in his hand, adjusted the air conditioner to a lukewarm 20 degrees, then turned off the light and pushed Liu Jin out, "I don't want to show off in front of you, a teenager, this is called Yide, When there is a chance, I will play a beautiful game and blind your eyes!"

"Bah!" Liu Jin spat, and was swooped down by the big golden retriever who was rushing towards him, and stepped back three steps in a row, "Nuuuuuu!"

"Niu Niu, come here!" Suo Yan waved at the big golden retriever, but the golden retriever ignored him, straightened up and rubbed against Liu Jin's chest.

"This little girl... just likes... likes me!" Liu Jin triumphantly grabbed Niuniu's two front paws and danced tango in the yard.

Suo Yan was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, and asked directly: "Is that rehearsal room you used to go to when you were fooling around still open?"

Liu Jin nodded: "It's open, but...a...big...uncle took over."

"Okay, give me a contact information later, I have to prepare the rehearsal place first." Suo Yan said with a determined smile.

When he had arranged everything properly and went to Dawei's place to find the two with the confidence of winning, he felt as if he was a rising star in the rock circle and would soon be admired by everyone, and his steps were light and light. .

"Hey, what have you been doing the last two days?" When Suo Yan arrived at Dawei's house, the two were having dinner, so they uninvitedly took a pair of chopsticks to eat together.

"This master is going to become a Luban soon." Dawei brought two plates of side dishes and put them on the table, sat down and said to Suo Yan.

"Lu Ban? The one pulling the weeping willow upside down?" Suo Yan frowned and looked Leng Leng up and down. He didn't think this guy had grown up.

"That's called Lu Zhishen, Lu Ban is the one who does carpentry work, the master of the handicraft world." Dawei looked coldly and said nothing, explaining on the side.

"Oh... I remember," Suo Yan smiled and narrowed his eyes, looking coldly, "Hey, what about your handmade guitar?"

"Well," Leng Lie raised his head and drank a small bowl of mushroom soup, wiped his mouth and said, "I used to think that Paul was my life, the guy who ate, but now I think it's good to lose it, and I can be safe I made that violin with peace of mind."

"Awesome!" Suo Yan stretched out a thumb between the meals, "I thought you really didn't play the piano anymore."

"How is it possible, without the piano, he will die," Dawei pushed the dish towards Suo Yan, and said, "Or the miserable life would be worse than death, haha."

"Hey..." Leng Lie had no objection to Dawei's explanation, but felt that he was a bit miserable, so he just sighed lightly.

"To tell you the truth, I've also done a big job these two days!" Suo Yan put the rice in the bowl into his mouth, chewed it several times, and swallowed it quickly.

Coldly had a premonition that what Suo Yan was going to say next would definitely be calling for a band again.However, after calming down and thinking about it for the past two days, he no longer had the passion that flashed back when he resigned.After all, reality still needs to be considered.

"Anyway, both of you are free, so why don't we just start a band and play?" Sure enough, Suo Yan said something that made Leng Lie's ears grind.

"Play? What are you playing?" Dawei scratched his itch, raised Erlang's legs and waited for Suo Yan to continue.

Suo Yan twisted his body, touched Leng Lie with his elbow, and glanced at the two of them: "Hey, I found a place. There is an underground rehearsal room at the Conservatory of Music. It only costs 100 yuan per hour. One dollar, we can go play!"

Leng Lie and Dawei rolled a blank look at Suo Yan, that look was like looking at a second idiot who used the studio as a ktv in the recording studio in the past: "Are you sick, spend money to play there?"

"Don't we guys have everything? Can't you play anything you want? As long as it's not late at night, thrash metal is fine." When it comes to playing together, Dawei is actually very itchy, and has spent a lot of time at home God, it's hard to do nothing, I wish I could jump on the balcony right now, turn on the stereo and beat the drums like crazy.

"I don't want to play with you." Leng Lieyun said calmly, reached for the cigarette case and took a cigarette out, then threw the cigarette case to Dawei bypassing Suo Yan.

Dawei gave way to Suo Yan, Suo Yan knew that Leng Lie saw that he was not good at smoking, so he smiled and refused, asking: "Why?"

"Aren't you still studying now? It's the summer vacation and you're bored right now. When school starts, once you leave, this mess won't end? I knew from the beginning that there would be no results, and we still have to go together Zha, isn’t that stupid? Besides, I have plans.” He took a deep breath on his cigarette and flicked the ash.

"What arrangement?" Suo Yan restrained his excitement just now, and asked with raised eyebrows.

"After I finish this violin, I will go out and walk around. Those landscape paintings in the subway look very interesting. I will come back and look for a job after I have spent my savings," Leng Lie took another puff of cigarette, Half-closed his eyes, "We are different from you, at least I am different from you, you can use these as fun, just enjoy yourself, I can't, I have to eat, live...yes, I have to live first!"

Xiao Suo came and went with gusts of wind.Dawei and Leng Lie cleaned up the dishes together, silent.

The window on the kitchen side can just see the road downstairs that is entangled in the power grid.Standing there coldly for a while, watching the tall and thin figure striding towards the supermarket parking lot nearby, he forgot to breathe for a while.

Holding his breath all the time, he waited until the man drove onto the road in a bright red car and disappeared along the road, then he let out a deep breath, and pressed a heavy stone on his heart.

This is the result of being 19 years old and thinking about it for more than a week after the first job was lost.Get rid of the old things first, then let yourself go, and start a new life.

The matter of starting a new life sounds quite lofty, but he inquired about it. In this city where he was born and raised for almost 19 years, he has no diploma or recommendation, and if he doesn’t do music-related work, he basically just works hard. Do some things like serving dishes, washing dishes or delivering couriers.

But... that's the way life is.Leng Lie felt that his eyes were in a daze, and he blinked quickly to prevent the warm liquid from flowing down.Who the hell let himself be born in a family where his parents are unreliable and no one can count on him.Thinking in an optimistic direction, it is a blessing that such a family does not have an anti-social person who dropped out of school and went to the street to fight and smoke noodles, so what are you looking forward to!That's all a luxury!
