Chapter 259: Looking for Tomorrow
I have heard a lot of great principles, but I still can't live a good life.
Almost every fox who is good at making chicken soup for others will add this sentence at the end of the article, and just now, I made such a bowl of hot chicken soup for Du Cheng.
I told him that when he met a girl who made him willing to go to the wasteland, he would not be able to sigh at the complexity of love.
Now, after hearing what I said, Du Cheng glanced at the corner of his mouth and said to me: "Brother, my lifelong companion is only music, the guitar is the lover, the drum is the mistress, and the singing is the confidant. This life is enough."
I continued a cigarette and got drunk. I retorted to him without hesitation: "Where is Chu Li? What is she?"
Du Cheng originally smiled and froze his lips. From this, he saw that he was not as free and easy as he said, at least he had never forgotten the woman I mentioned.
"Chu Li? It's so strange. Why do I get so familiar with this person's name?"
"Brother, you can deceive others, you can't deceive me."
The woman in my memory was so right with Du Cheng. Why did they separate? It's still a mystery. After she left, Du Cheng hiked directly from the Workers' Physical Education to Lijiang and did not come back until half a year. He said he didn't care, I must not believe it.
On weekdays, I have never thought about inquiring because everyone has their own life. In addition, the time they separated was just the time when Tong Xue left. I haven’t lived well yet, so what qualifications do I have to ask?
Now, I have also begun to welcome a new life. From the bottom of my heart, I hope Du Cheng can also come out.
"I didn't lie to anyone, I just felt that the name was familiar, that's all."
"If you can really forget it, you won't be in a hurry to refute it."
"I don't." Du Cheng shook his head, picked up the cigarette on the table, imitated me, and squinted his eyes and lit one.
"Mer, we were different from you at that time."
After he opened his eyes, he said to me like this.
Hearing the sound, I dusted the ashes and said in confusion: "Is it realistic?"
"Yes, not." Du Cheng stretched out his hand and pointed at the position of the roof of the bar, "You know that woman lives on it. She is very free and easy and lives very free, but she has that capital.
Where is me? I have nothing. My friends in the circle give me face and are willing to get together with me to play music. But everyone has their own lives. When I return to the life circle, I have nothing left. Let her follow me and talk about marriage. Do you think it is realistic?"
"Adu, you can't think so."
I still have a say in this kind of problem. Because my love with Zhang Yao is unequal, I took a deep breath of cigarette and said to him: "My buddy's example is just in front of you. Zhang Yao and I have a big gap. However, if you love, you should always be willing to do whatever you want. What I want now is to be with her, start a family, and have two big fat boys."
As I spoke, I smiled, and the picture I sketched out about the future quietly took place in my mind.
"That's you."
Du Cheng interrupted me directly, "You don't know what your buddy is. You don't have much education and want to play music well. Now that I'm playing with life, you think, how can I work hard to make up for the gap with her? Her parents don't like me, of course, I don't like them either."
He picked up the beer, took a sip, and then said, "But one thing they did, I still admire it, that is, sending her to study abroad is her life, and it is a life that I cannot give."
""
I can't refute it. Every word Du Cheng said is a fact, and facts often cannot tolerate people refute it.
"Drink a bar and mention what she does."
Du Cheng opened a bottle of Budweiser again, raised it, clinked glasses with each other, and drank it all.
No matter what taste of wine, it will hurt people's bodies. Besides, beer is really not delicious, but it will bring us comfort at this moment, the comfort we need for two frustrated men.
The bar was noisy, but there was only wine between us. The atmosphere was a bit heavy. I began to try to change the topic and asked something that was actually related to him.
"Brother, how are you going about the music festival?"
"I just formed a band and went to Suzhou at the end of next month. Not to mention, there is no such thing as a minimum."
"Didn't you ask Zhang Feng to give you a move?"
"Brother Feng took good care of me. He greeted the organizer and asked our band to be with him. That's why I didn't have any idea."
"Brother, I don't look like you so unconfident." I looked at Du Cheng with some disbelief.
“The more you think, the more you want.”
"Okay, I wish you good luck."
As I said that, I opened the last two bottles of beer, handed him one, and then raised the bottle: "Isn't it just a Midi? You can do it."
"I hope."
In the early morning, the two of us who had drunk a lot of beer left the ferry.
After returning home, I was extremely awake and felt a little bit of self-blame. Du Cheng solved my problem, but I asked him a new problem.
This guy must not be as free and easy as he appears. Chu Li will always be a thorn in his heart, a thorn he didn't want to remove. I used this thorn to stimulate him.
The capital city is quiet late at night.
I lay beside the window, with dim neon lights within my eyes. How many people will be lost in such night? How many people will rush into such night?
I can't figure out the answer, but I can understand one thing: how many people go to Beijing will start to get lost.
Then everyone will start over and find themselves. This is a necessary stage. Perhaps, only after embarking on this path of search can people like us truly begin to integrate into the city beneath their feet, right?
Thinking of this, I began to feel relieved and also felt lost.
"Is this different from a re-living life?"
I murmured myself.
With such questions, I fell on the bed, closed my eyes tightly, and prepared to welcome the morning sun.
I had a dream, a dream I had been fantasizing about. In the dream, Zhang Yao was wearing a white wedding dress, holding a flower in her hand, waiting for me to walk up to her, and hold her hand to take the oath.
