Eight thousand miles of rock and roll

It was cloudy, without rain, and the low temperature was more than ten degrees, and it was still chilly with the wind blowing on the body.

The performing arts company set up a steel frame stage on the spot, with laser lights hanging up and down, and four dry ice machines were placed symmetrically on the left and right beside the stage. There were all kinds of colored lights and spotlights. It looked wild and cold, full of industrial flavor.

There is a buzzing unmanned aerial camera in the sky, pulling up and down for a while, doing the final debugging preparations before recording and broadcasting.

Sitting on the plastic chair under the stage, Yue Yanli was a little excited.

This is different from the previous few times. This kind of on-stage versus off-stage is more like a concert than a small fan club.

He remembered that a few years ago, five or six years ago, a friend who had a working relationship gave him two tickets to the Forest Music Festival. He didn't have any friends to date, so he just drove around freely by himself.

It was also such a cold day that day, and I was still shivering from the blowing in a thick coat.The worst thing was that it rained later that day, not much, intermittently, and had to run around in silly disposable raincoats.

Two stages were set up in the forest park, separated by 600 meters, one was designed in the shape of an owl, and the lights flowed alternately with the colorful lights.Another one was designed to look like the front face of a car, with two bright searchlights, sweeping across the audience and cheering everywhere.

Folk songs and rock and roll each occupy a side, and I will appear on the stage after you sing.

Yue Yanli watched for more than two hours, watching and waiting for his favorite old band Orange Juice to appear on the program list.After waiting patiently for so long, Chengzi and the others didn't come. When the organizer apologized, they said that because of flight problems, the band was stranded at the airport of Y City, and they apologized to the fans.

That day, Yue Yanli was very interested in going, but he was not interested in leaving.

After a few minutes of distraction, the stage has been occupied by each side, and the drums, keyboards and other large instruments have all been placed in their positions.Bao Qiuqiu was talking to a staff member and kicked the wires on the ground with his feet.

Yue Yanli is in the center of the second row, a very VVVIP place.

There was someone seated behind him, and his voice couldn't be suppressed with excitement.

"I'm only able to support my aura with this scene!"

I gang.Yue Yanli couldn't help but bend the corners of his mouth, and it took a lot of effort not to turn around to see what kind of girl was talking like this.

The lights in the venue dimmed, and the large electronic screen in the background began to count down to five seconds in light gray.

“5、4、3、2、1……”

A row of cold fireworks rushed into the air in front of the stage, and the cool drum beats were full of rhythm, as if hitting everyone's heart, igniting the hot flame called rock and roll.

Surprise, surprise to no avail.

Yue Yanli's body trembled slightly, leaning forward with every fan, wishing he could rush directly to the stage.

One after another, there are classic old songs, famous songs of talkative and dumb.It wasn't until near the end that Yue Yanli, who was so excited that his brain was empty, noticed the difference.

Today's songs are all songs from the period of the chatterbox and dumb bands. There are cover songs, but there are no later Xu Gang's own works.

In the previous fan clubs, Xu Gang sang new songs written by himself.Not today.

Because of the classics and nostalgia, the scene almost became a giant karaoke. The more and more people gathered, nearly 500 people, with black heads standing outside the surrounding venue, the security company was like an enemy.

Before the last song was sung, Xu Gang held the microphone and calmed his panting, while his voice had a different hoarseness.

"Thank you everyone, come to listen to the song. I am Xu Gang, the lead singer of the band Talking Tuberculosis and Dumb."

There was a commotion in the audience, which calmed down as Xu Gang continued.Yue Yanli's heart was beating wildly, and he vaguely thought of the reason.

"Today is a special day." The man closed his eyes, the sweat on his face was still wet, and his eyes were slightly red: "It belonged to my brother Luo Tuo and Dabing, the anniversary of their death." When he mentioned the date of death, the man's throat choked up. Choked, the pleasant voice was distorted and a little harsh, but no one cared.

"We used to sing together," Xu Gang swallowed hard, his Adam's apple twitched: "Talking, glory and dreams. Drinking, bragging, watching beautiful girls."

Bao Qiuqiu beside him wiped his face, not knowing whether it was tears or sweat, and tapped his fingers on the bridge nervously.

"A song we sang together, to commemorate the days when we were still together. The girl is beautiful." Xu Gang exhaled, and continued: "Lead singer, Bao Qiuqiu."

In the beginning, Bao Qiuqiu sang quite normally, his voice did not have the quality of metal fighting, which means that the level of karaoke is not bad.

It's just that while singing at this level, it became hoarse and deformed.

"Girl girl, you are beautiful, police officer, you are holding a pistol..."

Yue Yanli looked around, feeling a little flustered.Some were crying, some were laughing, some were hoarse and kept shouting, whistling, and more were singing along. The scene was on the verge of getting out of control. Aroused negative emotions lurk in the dark, eager to try.

The addition of Xu Gang's voice did not violate the harmony. Within two seconds of Bao Qiuqiu stumbling, Yue Yanli even judged that this was not the pattern they had planned in advance.

Whispering like a Sanskrit singing, it seems sober but not sober, vaguely present, at first glance, it is completely star-studded and moon-supporting Bao Qiuqiu's high-pitched singing, only when the heart settles down will it be noticed, This inconspicuous voice is Dinghaishenzhen, the backbone of this song.

Bao Qiuqiu was pulled back, the song was still roaring, the almost slippery state of being influenced by emotions was gone.

"I only have a creaky bed. I ride a bicycle to take you to see the sunset. My tongue is the delicious food for you to taste. I have a new story to tell you."

Yue Yanli rubbed his eyes, and sang along loudly without hesitation.

"Sun Wukong threw away the golden cudgel and traveled across the ocean, Monk Sha drove the boat to catch all the fish, Zhu Bajie returned to Gao Laozhuang and was a massage girl, Tang Sanzang came to the street biting the instant noodles to show everyone auspicious ..."

In a trance, it was the reappearance of the video in that bar.

Cui Yan was replaced by Bao Qiuqiu, and Xu Gang was still Xu Gang.The old friend is gone, but the friendship is still there.

Wipe it away, and there are tears on my face.

The last section was re-paced.The lyrics became "Girl Girl" with two people's voices intertwined. After the rhythm of drums, heavy hammers, cymbals, roaring and bass roaring lasted for nearly a minute, all the voices came to an abrupt end.

Everyone's eardrums were still lingering, reverberating from the hum of the rock feast just now, and there was a feeling of weightlessness with their heads down for a while.

At this moment, Bao Qiuqiu yelled out the sentence that many feminists criticized and despised, but the lyrics were changed.

"Make a boyfriend and raise a dog together!"

Everyone was silent for more than ten seconds, and the din was slowed down by half a beat, like a crazy tide rolling in backwards, the sound waves were scorching and extremely compelling.

............................................................

For the first time since the performance, all members of the band were escorted back to the hotel by security guards.

Yue Yanli has not been exposed, and can still enjoy the fun of ordinary people who are not surrounded by crowds.

It's just that he followed behind the tide of fans who were overly enthusiastic and even lost their composure. No matter how you looked at it, he felt horrible.

Teenagers, twenties, 40s and [-]s, all kinds of fans flocked back and forth, like an invincible black tide, even if they were stopped by the security guards, they still followed one after another, waving their hands and feet, attracting them with their voices and movements Waiting, hoping that Xu Gang, Bao Qiuqiu and the others would turn around and fulfill their dream of escaping from reality.

The whole team entered the lobby of the hotel, and everyone else was stopped outside the hotel by security guards who were on the verge of an enemy. Even the tenants were forced to wait for the time being, waiting for the band members to return to their rooms, the fans dispersed, and the order of the hotel returned to normal .

The mobile phone in Yue Yanli's trouser pocket vibrated, he took it out and looked down, it was Xu Gang.

"Come in through the back door. Sister Hong asked her assistant Xiao Zhang to pick you up."

"It's okay," Yue Yanli looked up at the path leading to the back door of the hotel.There were already some quick-witted fans trotting over. It seemed that it would take less than 2 minutes, and the surrounding area must be tight: "You guys have a good rest, I'll go around and buy you something to eat, and I'll be back later."

It's not that I haven't seen the enthusiasm of fans. Even ten years ago, when the band Chatterbox and Dumb were popular, the fans were even crazier.

But this time is different.

Unable to tell the subtle difference, Yue Yanli could only feel it silently in his heart.

Xu Gang's message came back again: "I'm not hungry, don't buy it. Be safe and come back early."

The dialog box shows that it is typing, and after a few seconds, another sentence pops up: "I miss you, I want to hug you."

One sentence warms the heart and lungs, Yue Yanli's heart is too sweet.

Put away the phone and turn left, and when I looked up, a stern face outside the crowd suddenly jumped into my eyes.

He's a soldier, no, he's an official.

The man was tall, even taller than Xu Gang, maybe 1.9 meters.Dressed in jungle camouflage, he looked dirty, his brows were tightly frowned, like a lump of iron, his appearance was not handsome, but he was full of masculinity, especially masculine.

Yue Yanli looked at it a few more times, but he didn't have any intentions or something, but he simply felt strange and violated harmony.

How could such a two bars and one star appear here?

Two bars and one star are very keen on the gaze of others, and almost instantly, their alert and non-warm eyes fell on Yue Yanli.Yue Yanli didn't want to admit that he was cowardly, but at that moment, he did have the creepiness of being stared at by a cheetah, and his hairs stood on end.

He wanted to show his goodwill and smiled, but he only took one look at him, but he didn't find any threat, so he immediately turned his gaze away.

Yue Yanli patted his chest, curiously looked in the direction Brother Bing was looking at.

Uh, are you really a crazy fan groupie?What he looked at was clearly the gate where the band and his party had just entered.

After nearly half an hour, Yue Yanli turned around and came back. Most of the fans at the door had dispersed, and there were only twenty or thirty stubborn ones who refused to leave, standing at the door.Qi Min stood a few steps away with a grumpy expression, looking not very harmonious.

Subconsciously, he glanced at the position where the soldier was standing just now, and sure enough, there was no one there.

There are four security guards standing at the gate of the hotel, and they have to verify their ID cards and room cards when entering.

Qi Min saw Yue Yanli's eyes brighten up, walked over quickly, and pulled his arm aside to talk.It was only then that Yue Yanli figured out why President Qi seemed to be having a headache because of injustice.

The twenty or so people who stayed at the scene were not members of Xu Gang's fan club, but die-hard fans of the disbanded Hua Tuo and Dumb bands.

"Willing not to leave." Qi Min rubbed his temples and sighed: "I didn't ask Brother Gang and the others to come out to sign autographs or take photos. It just means missing the band, but this..."

Yue Yanli did the same thing: "President Qi, don't bother yourself, today's situation is special, so you should hurry back and rest, huh?"

"It's not a good influence." Qi Min is still very responsible: "I was crying and calling Cui Yan's army camels, and someone was lighting wax just now, fuck!"

As soon as the rough words came out, Yue Yanli was so embarrassed that he had nothing to say and hurriedly interrupted: "Well, the weather forecast says there will be rain tonight, and it will probably clear up after a while."

On the sixth floor, I was surprised to find Xu Gang standing at the door of his room waiting.

"Why are you standing here?"

"I just saw you coming back from the window." Xu Gang stood up straight, stepped aside sideways, and Yue Yanli opened the door with his room card.

After entering the room, Xu Gang hugged Yue Yanli's waist from behind without saying a word, arched his back slightly, and rested his chin on his shoulder: "You are too thin, your shoulders hurt."

Changing to Rukawa Kaede, one word will go back——

"Look at whoever doesn't have a broken shoulder, go to whom."

But right now it is Yue Yanli, not Rukawa Feng.Xu Gang's sullenness and low mood made him feel distressed.

"Well, eat more in the future, and strive to get rid of the ribs as soon as possible."

Humming and laughing twice, Xu Gang didn't let go: "Can I stay with you at night?"

"Okay." It's not the first time sharing the same bed, not to mention Xu Gang is so wrong today: "I packed a fresh shrimp porridge and fried dumplings, go eat some, wash up and go to bed after eating."
