Chapter 72: Poetry and the Distance

I called Wei Zhengjie, but Wei Zhengjie didn't answer.

Maybe it was because the train was noisy and I didn't hear it. After a while, Wei Zhengjie sent a text message: "Keep the money, please help my son."

These few words made me feel a little sad.

This was less than 10,000 yuan, but it was all the father could afford.

Regardless of whether he was a good father who could discipline his son well, he did not shirk his responsibilities and carried the entire family on his thin shoulders.

I sat in the car and lit a cigarette and was silent for a long time.

Mi Lan may have noticed that I was in a bad mood and didn't complain about me smoking next to her.

She looked at me and then at the money in her hand: "Lu Yao, how about we save this money for Master Wei and give it to Wei Lai? When you help him win the lawsuit, Wei Lai comes out and buys him a new one."

clothes, buy a train ticket, and send him home."

Wei Lai's case is very difficult and there is basically no hope.

This is the most desperate.

But I'm still willing to have a glimmer of hope, even if it's like pulling chestnuts out of the fire, just a little bit of hope.

I nodded, threw away the cigarette, rubbed my sore eyes and put down the handbrake: "Okay, it's a deal, we'll take Wei Lai home then."

"That's right, as long as I'm watching, you don't dare to spend money randomly."

Mi Lan smiled and said longingly: "Wei Lai is from southern Yunnan, right? I heard that the scenery there is very good. Although it is our neighboring province, I have never been there. I heard that the spring city has a long flower season, and there are

If you plant camellias, they will bloom from October to April next year, and the mountains and fields will be filled with a fragrant fragrance. Wow, it’s beautiful just thinking about it..."

"Do you want to go?" I saw Mi Lan showing an innocent and longing expression and smiled.

"Yeah." Mi Lan nodded and looked at me: "Qin Beast, do you dare to take me there?"

Chatting with Mi Lan gave me a strange sense of healing.

No matter how frustrated I am, no matter how irritable and desperate I am about this shitty life, I can quickly calm down. Mi Lan has this unique charm.

I started the car with a mischievous smile, imitating Mi Lan's tone and said longingly: "Okay, I won't go back on my promise. Then I will take you to a wilderness to run naked, run naked, tsk tsk tsk, it's beautiful just thinking about it."

.”

"Go to hell, you pervert!" Mi Lan blushed and turned her head to the side, ignoring me.

When we arrived at Hai Dao Lang, today was not a weekend, so there were not many people.

The boss who looked exactly like Wong Kar-Wai was singing to the guests on the outdoor terrace. His voice was very vicissitudes of life and full of emotion. It sounded like the kind of deep feeling that no one who has not had 17 or 18 ex-girlfriends would be able to sing.

He may have seen me leading Mi Lan in and waved to me. I smiled and nodded to him.

The surrounding environment was very quiet. It was a bit cool in late autumn and there was a little wind, but the atmosphere was just right. There were also young people and couples around. I ordered some of the specialty side dishes and drinks here.

Mi Lan took a bite: "It's really delicious, sour and spicy, and it's not expensive. Lu Yao, why didn't you bring me here earlier?"

After she was full, she held my arm again and listened to the boss singing "Once Upon a Time" by Xu Wei.

"I once dreamed of traveling to the end of the world with my sword and seeing the prosperity of the world. My young heart was always a little frivolous. Now you are at home all over the world. The girl who once made you feel distressed has disappeared quietly..."

Hearing this sentence, I couldn't help but wonder if the boss did it on purpose. When I saw that the girl next to me was not Jiang Yan, wasn't it in response to the lyrics "The girl who once made you feel distressed has now disappeared quietly"

?

The boss's voice is very telling, and soon people forget the hustle and bustle of daily life and get into the song.

Mi Lan leaned on my shoulder and hummed softly along with me.

Her voice is quite nice, but it's a little tone-deaf and basically out of tune. I laughed at her, so don't show off.

Mi Lan hit me with her pink fist and rolled her eyes at me: "Beast, you can sing if you can."

After the boss finished singing the song, he put down his guitar and said hello to everyone. He seemed tired from singing and planned to leave the stage to rest.

"You sang so well that you even cried when you listened to it, Lu Yao." Mi Lan wiped the wet corners of her eyes in emotion.

Unexpectedly, the boss walked straight towards me, pulled out a stool, sat down and smiled: "Did you bring your friends over?"

"Hey, aren't you just here to cheer me up? I'm afraid if I don't come, I'll go out of business tomorrow." I joked while cracking a handful of melon seeds.

The boss wasn't angry either. He pushed up his sunglasses and smiled and said, "I remember you were able to sing when you were in college. The equipment was all set up. How about a song?"

I quickly declined with a sneer: "I haven't sung for many years, and my guitar has fallen apart."

"Lu Yao, can you sing? Please sing a song. I've never heard you sing before." Mi Lan begged, shaking my arm.

The boss of Vicissitudes Sunglasses also rushed to put it on the shelves: "Here is a song, if you sing it well, I will give you a free order today."

"I take it seriously!" I laughed.

I really haven’t sung for many years. I was so excited by this boss that I really refused to admit defeat. I got up and walked to the stage in front of everyone.

First, he picked up the guitar and tried the feel. The boss yelled from below: "Everyone is lucky, Mr. Lu Yao, a well-known folk singer in Linhai, will play a song!"

They were all young people who liked to watch the excitement and did not mind the trouble, so they also started to make noises with him.

Mi Lan looked at me gloatingly, smiling like a little fox, as if she was waiting for me to make a fool of myself.

It's okay, I tried it and it still feels...

After I got ready, I sat on a high stool, holding the guitar in one hand and the microphone in the other and cleared my throat: "Hello everyone, I am Lu Yao, and I will bring you a song called "Travel" by Xu Wei."

I feel like competing with the sunglasses boss. He sings a song by Xu Wei, and I sing one too.

Sure enough, the sunglasses boss whistled and booed me with a smile.

Mi Lan next to me may have never seen me look so serious. She stood up and mustered up the courage to cheer me up: "Come on, Lu Yao!"

I plucked the piano and opened my voice as the moving prelude passed.

"The evening breeze is blowing the pines, and the wind chimes are ringing like the sound of nature. Standing in the quiet place of this city, let all the noise go away..."

As soon as the sound came out, I knew it felt right.

At the end of the first section, no one in the audience spoke anymore, not even chatting in a low voice. There was silence, and all eyes were focused on me.

I heard the boss laugh and scold him: "This brat was born twenty years late, which means he didn't catch up with the golden age of Chinese music."

I saw Mi Lan's eyes shining brightly under the light.

She raised her hand and, following my singing, held a fluorescent stick and gently swayed it left and right.

Everyone was also affected by the singing, and started to wave their hands rhythmically like Mi Lan.

"Who painted this world, and then painted me and you, making our world colorful, who made us cry, and gave us surprises, so that we could meet each other in love like this..."

After the song ended, I walked off the stage amidst applause and cheers, and shrugged towards Mi Lan: "How was your singing?"

Mi Lan jumped up, her eyes still a little moist, and gave me a hug excitedly: "Lu Yao, you are awesome."

The boss joked next to him: "Girl, you judge, he sings better or I sing better?"

Mi Lan put her hand on my shoulder and said with great pride: "Of course we beasts can sing well."

"Okay, let's go with the husband and the wife! I give up and I'll give you a free bill today."

The boss scratched his head and smiled, and Mi Lan cheered happily.

This boss gives people the impression that he opened this place not to make a lot of money, but to provide a comfortable habitat where he can heal his wounds, be unbridled, have feelings, be himself, and be happy.

I still played guitar when I was in college. Jiang Yan sang well, so I practiced hard for two years in order to match her singing.

Island Wave is also a place where she and I often come.
