Eight thousand miles of rock and roll

Holding the guitar, Xu Gang slightly adjusted his sitting posture, his knee touched the coffee table in front of him, the teacup on it shook slightly, and fine ripples appeared on the water surface.

"Originally, I thought the last song in City Z would be "A Banquet That Never Ends"," the man smiled, and dialed a few notes easily with his fingers: "If you think about it, I'd better change it to "Red-Naked" gone."

The beige curtains were drawn, the sound of boiling water in the steamer was heard from the kitchen, and the aroma of hairy crabs permeated the air.

"She seems to be as cold as ice, and she makes you lose your way. In fact, she is lonely and full of joyful dreams..." The man plucked the strings and sang a few lines in a low, hoarse voice, before the topic changed abruptly: "Yue Yan Kasa, I want to write a song for you."

From a distance of two or three meters, the thin man showed surprise: "Ah? Really? That's great! Oops, it's time for hairy crabs, I'm going to turn off the fire."

Seeing Yue Yanli rushing into the kitchen in a hurry, Xu Gang smiled slightly, and played a few notes randomly with his fingers, which were the scores that sporadically flashed in his mind these days.

He once wrote songs for Rukawa Kaede.

That period of time was the peak period of his creative inspiration. He liked the boy on the other side of the Internet, wanted to offer treasures to him, and wanted to express all his proud and straightforward moods. Just thinking about him was enough inspiration for Xu Gang Continuously, the paper is covered with domineering numbered notation and lyrics.

all ruined.In that car accident, it was burned to ashes.

It is not easy to get back the memory, but it is even more difficult to get the inspiration.It has been preserved until now, but it is just a few sporadic fragments, incomplete.

Yue Yanli looked at him infatuatedly, unable to see any flaws, he didn't know that Xu Gang had as much panic as him.

What Yue Yanli was worried about was his physical life, but what Xu Gang was gradually depleted of was his creative life.

This is no different from his fate.

Living together, the aura fades, and stepping down from the altar, how much will Yue Yanli love him?The high-spirited and slow superstar of the past is dead, and the calm and ordinary man of today has disappeared from his life.

"It's time to eat." Yue Yanli shouted in the kitchen: "Brother Gang, go wash your hands."

Putting down the guitar, Xu Gang stood up and stretched his waist to exercise his muscles and bones, and his joints made a crackling sound.

The dinner is very rich, and just displaying it in front of your eyes can make people move their index fingers.

Hairy crab, steamed tiger spot, fried lamb with scallions, short ribs in sauce, baby vegetables with garlic, soybean oil and wheat vegetables, and the matching wine is authentic Shaoxing 15-year-old Huadiao.

"The craftsmanship is not so good." Xu Gang dragged out of the seat and made a salivating expression: "I think I will definitely be raised by you to be a fat man in the future."

"Your height," Yue Yanli was in a particularly good mood, and immediately snapped back: "If you become a big fat man again, you will be very intimidating. At least ordinary thieves will not dare to attack you."

With a chopsticks of mutton roll in his mouth, Xu Gangmei narrowed his eyes: "It's delicious!"

"The mutton is freshly planed by the butcher shop in the vegetable market. The eight-month-old lamb from Inner Mongolia is fresh within three days of arrival." Yue Yanli helped him pour a glass of rice wine and pushed it over: "Drink less, rice wine nourishes people."

"I want to be a big fat man," Xu Gang clinked his wine glass with him, and took a big sip, "I'm not afraid of any little thieves, but I'm just worried so I won't overwhelm you."

It's okay if you don't think about it, but if you think about it deeply, you will lose your way immediately.Yue Yanli gave him a gouged look, and drank slowly.The part of the neck connected to the pinna was slowly turning red.

The bad temper of playing cats and dogs has always been there, and it doesn't calm down much with age: "But it's not impossible, the big deal is that our family will be riding seats in the future. It's just hard on your waist."

Yue Yanli broke off a crab claw, especially wanting to stuff it in his mouth: "Can't you stop your mouth after eating? I think if you don't sing, you can change your career and become a cross talk actor. Ask Deyun Society if it recruits apprentices."

"I'm not going," Xu Gang shook his head without thinking, "Why tease so many people? I'll just tease you once."

The hand holding the chopsticks was tight, Yue Yanli didn't say anything, he put a piece of fish into the bowl in front of Xu Gang, and said softly: "Taste the fish, is it old?"

There is inexplicable sadness or melancholy in the air, some things seem to be stolen, no matter how much you cherish them, you can't see a long future.

The melody from the mobile phone broke the silence just right, Yue Yanli glanced at Xu Gang unexpectedly, it was Mother Yue.

"Mom," Yue Yanli said after clearing his throat, "what's the matter?"

The room was very quiet, so it was an open secret that it wasn't an external mode, and Xu Gang could hear it clearly from tens of centimeters away.

"I met Xiaosun in Deji yesterday, did you return the shares?" Mother Yue went straight to the point: "Why didn't I know?"

"This matter," Yue Yanli stood up, smiled apologetically at Xu Gang, and walked to the kitchen: "I plan to tell you in a few days..."

Xu Gang stared at the hairy crab in front of him, absently turning the phone in front of him with his fingers.

Within a few minutes, Yue Yanli came back: "I'm sorry, my mother——"

"Yue Yanli," Xu Gang stared at him without blinking: "You give back the shares and help me start the tour. If I don't have inspiration and can't write songs again in the future, will you be disappointed?" Heart raised in throat Eyes, even if the face is calm.

Yue Yanli lowered his head to peel the hairy crabs, his slender fingers were moist with juice, "write if you like it, and do something else if you can't." After a pause, the frail man slowly added: "I will Do business to make money, don’t worry about it in the future.”

"You make money to support me?" Xu Gang's heart was full of mixed feelings, a little strange, it was a different existence from the coziness of laughing after teasing Rukawa Feng when he was young.

Yue Yanli seemed a little embarrassed, and hummed: "Maybe I don't earn as much as you did before, but I will work hard."

Why is this person so painful?

Unexpectedly, he would say such a thing.But after thinking about it for a while, he felt that it was not surprising that Yue Yanli would say such words.

Xu Gang sniffed: "Oh, I'm so touched, I don't think I can repay you with my body, okay?"

A big crab pliers with its shell peeled off and dipped in ginger vinegar was placed in front of him. Yue Yanli blushed and looked a little soft, but he was full of responsibility like a man in what he said and what he did.

"Just talk nonsense, you haven't changed this bad habit for so many years."

"I'm just like you," Xu Gang ate the crab claws, took a sip of rice wine, and his mind was more relaxed and joyful than ever before: "When I'm with you, I feel that there is nothing I can't talk about. It used to be, but now It was seamless, as if those ten years were eaten by dogs."

Outside the window, the sound of car tires crushing gravel can be heard from far and near. What is louder than this is the rhythm of pop songs on the car stereo.It poured out from the open car window, unscrupulously ignoring the issue of disturbing the people.

"...I'm like that little bird in the forest, trying to break free and rush to embrace the blue sky..."

"It sounds good, and it's inspirational." Xu Gang just ate a piece of pork ribs, and immediately gave a thumbs up: "The pork ribs are invincible, and they taste better than my mother's."

"You said you would write a song for me before dinner," Yue Yanli said with bright eyes, "If I remember correctly, you said that ten years ago."

"You have a really good memory." Xu Gang scratched his hair, and readily admitted: "I did write it. I made an appointment that day and wanted to play and sing for you. Later, the score was burned in a car accident, and I remembered some fragments sporadically in my mind." , can’t connect.”

"It's okay," Yue Yanli looked more embarrassed than him: "I just asked casually. Well, I read in the newspaper that it was drunk driving?"

"Da Bing went crazy after drinking, and if he is not allowed to drive, he insists on driving." Xu Gang thought of his brothers who played in the band together back then, and felt a little bored: "Do you want one?"

"I'll get it." Yue Yanli quickly stood up and ran to the room, took out a box of unopened Soft China and handed it to him, but Xu Gang intertwined his fingers and dragged him to sit beside him.

"Speaking of which, I'm lucky." The lighter blew lightly, and the smoke escaped from the man's lips: "In that car accident, the soldiers and camels were gone. I survived anyway."

Keyboardist Luotuo, drummer Dabing, guitarist Cui Yan, bassist Bao Qiuqiu, vocalist Xu Gang.

Back then, there were only two bands left in the Talking Tuberculosis and the Dumb Band.Cui Yan was also seriously injured in that car accident, paraplegic at a high position, and barely survived.

In fact, this is also the reason why he rarely came out these years.Several brothers in a band are together, and the tacit understanding between each other is indescribable. With a look in the eyes and a drum beat, they all know how to twist into a rope and get on the top.Now, the incomplete talker Bao Qiuqiu and the mute Xu Gang, standing on the stage, their souls are gone, only pain remains.

"I'm sorry." Yue Yanli clenched his fingers, with an uneasy expression: "I shouldn't, I shouldn't have to reveal the scars again. This tour is my selfishness."

"Yue Yanli," Xu Gang withdrew from the memories, simply reached out and pinched his chin, staring at each other with straight eyes: "What's wrong with you? You always speak cautiously? In the future, you will live like this, don't you?" Are you tired?"

Xu Gang is a man from the north, he is not used to sticky calling his lover, little baby, little kiss, etc. It is not inappropriate to call people by first and last name, and he is not good at speaking when he loves others. Love has a different taste.

In fact, after this reunion, he quickly discovered that Yue Yanli always put himself very low, as if he was afraid that if he didn't pay attention to a word, he would make himself unhappy.

Originally, Xu Gang didn't want to say it, and planned to get along with each other slowly, so it would be good to help him untangle his heart.

"Ah?" Yue Yanli opened his mouth slightly, a little surprised and embarrassed: "I, I'll change it."

"Don't set me so high in your heart. In the future, I'm afraid you will be disappointed and fall to your death." Xu Gang simply extinguished half of the cigarette, rubbed his thumb against the man's clean jaw, and said with deep eyes, "I'm actually quite despicable. Really. I'm afraid that you will abandon me if you find out."

"Then tell me," Yue Yanli licked his lower lip uncomfortably, and the tip of his pale pink tongue was fleeting: "Let me hear how despicable you are, did you kill people to steal goods or set fire to mountains, heh..."

The other party obviously didn't take it seriously, thinking he was joking.But Xu Gang's heart was pounding in a panic, and he couldn't take care of it.The whole person was attracted by the soft tongue between the red lips and white teeth.

"I won't tell you." Xu Gang bowed his head and leaned over, complaining vaguely: "You seduced me..."

I haven't finished smoking, I haven't finished drinking, and I only ate a few chopsticks for a meal.

The spotlights above the head shrouded it, some people pressed forward steadily and refused to give up, while others trembled and collapsed.

The author has something to say:

All the lyrics in this chapter are excerpted from Zheng Jun's "Bare-Naked" (I feel like I am from CCTV...).

When I was in college, I fell in love with Zheng Jun very much.When I was graduating, the whole school was full of "There is no never-ending banquet", and my buddy who had been single for four years turned himself over with this song and returned home with his wife and daughter. thing.

At that time, Zheng Jun and Gao Qi's Yan were known as the duo of the Chinese rock scene (can I say that I only recently learned of this title).At that time, I went to listen to the songs, Cinderella, naked-naked, world banquet, commodity society, rare and confused, the road is long, happiness is out of reach... I can't stop the rhythm of the car.I really like it, that kind of tired, lazy and inattentive voice is very nice.Until recently, the 2017 concert... After listening to it, I felt like the scene of a car accident, so I went back and searched for the old version to listen to it, which was more at ease.

Heroes always have twilight, but heroes can hide their clumsiness.

Oh, I recommend an MV with extremely low pixels. To commemorate Teresa Teng's "Farewell to Rock and Roll" back then, Brother Jun was so handsome in it that people licked the screen.

Zheng Jun, Zang Tianshuo, Qin Yong, Ding Wu, Wu Tong...

The fat guy who was righteous and warm-hearted is gone, 9.28.Not to mention the end of the era, after all, it is difficult to sigh.

Also, today is Benhua's birthday, time, time, like a dog chewing on it.
