Chapter 113: What Remains Behind You
"You...... No, uncle, how do you think I can prove it?" Cheng Yiran asked after thinking for a moment. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The old man with the explosive head snorted coldly at this time, "Funny! You keep saying that this is very important to you, very important, I want you to prove it, but you still have to come to ask me?
"I ......" Cheng Yiran was speechless.
He became more and more anxious, watching the time pass minute by minute, and the feeling of wanting to leave became more and more intense - it was an intuition: intuition told him that this scene of Hong Guan might allow him to find the ability to wake up himself from playing the guitar.
This is a very urgent desire, and even makes him feel that after missing this time, it will be difficult to find it again in the future.
He didn't want to waste time here with this strange old man...... It would be ideal if you could buy the bass back for a big price.
But this strange old man is obviously deliberately trying to make things difficult...... Maybe you want to raise the price?
Cheng Yiran took a deep breath and said, "Otherwise, uncle, can you leave me a contact information?" I'm actually in a hurry now, and we can talk about the bass later." You believe me, I really want to buy it back, and the price is negotiable. ”
Unexpectedly, the old man with the explosive head did not answer at this time, but looked at the fish ball and said: "Boss, pay the bill!"
After the old man with the explosive head casually slapped a banknote on the table, he stood up directly, and was about to leave, without looking at Cheng Yiran.
"Uncle, uncle, where is your contact information?" Cheng Yiran couldn't help but say anxiously.
The old man with the explosive head didn't reply: "Don't stay, what are you left to do?" You said that this is very important to you, and then you are about to walk away at this time, and I can't see any sincerity. ”
Cheng Yiran said helplessly: "Uncle, you are older, you are older than me, and you don't have more experience than me." You should understand that people really sometimes encounter a dilemma, and there will be times when they lose sight of one or the other. If you were me, and there was one crucial thing in front of you, what would you choose?"
The old man with the explosive head suddenly turned around, "Crucial? Then let me ask you, is it a matter of life and death?"
Cheng Yiran subconsciously shook his head.
The old man with the head of the explosion said indifferently: "Is that my wife in labor? My relatives are critically ill? Or are you rushing to save people? Or are you talking about some big business, and if you don't go, you will be yellow? The company is waiting for you to start this business? What does it matter to the livelihood of dozens or hundreds of people?"
Cheng Yiran shook his head one by one...... He couldn't say his true reason. But he had to think: what this old man said is probably really a very important thing.
The old man with the explosive head finally said indifferently: "Then tell me, what is more important than this bass? If you say it's reasonable, why don't you give it back to you? If you can't say it, I'm sorry, I won't sell this bass, and you won't find me in the future...... Don't try to bother me anymore. ”
"I see. Cheng Yiran suddenly took a deep breath, "Uncle, if I don't leave, I will keep an eye on you until you are willing to sell it back to me." ”
The old man with the explosive head suddenly sighed and said casually: "Then you can follow me." ”
As he spoke, the old man twisted his ass and turned to walk. Cheng Yiran frowned...... Bite the bullet and follow along.
He didn't know where the exploding man was going, so he just silently followed him.
And the mood is getting more and more anxious...... He counted the time, calculating the time when he could finally catch up with Hong Guan's appearance.
Step by step, step by step is more difficult to walk...... Step by step, it is heavier, but it is also unstable.
......
After walking about a street away, the old man suddenly stopped and walked into an old house, but Cheng Yiran didn't have to follow.
Soon after, the old man with the head of the explosion walked down, leading the bag in his hand...... Cheng Yiran even recognized at a glance that this was the bag that Hong Guan used to hold his bass, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, "Uncle, what do you want to ......?"
Unexpectedly, the old man of the explosion head didn't say a word, so he put the thing on his back, looked at the direction, and walked to another place.
Cheng Yiran was helpless, lowered his head and sighed, but continued to keep up...... This bass is on the back of this old man, and it is within reach...... With a little force, it seems that he can be pulled off the body of this thin old man.
Cheng Yiran considered this feasibility, and at the same time found that the direction of the exploding old man was getting farther and farther away from the way to the sports institute, which was completely contrary.
"Uncle, you ...... Where do you want to go?" Cheng Yiran took two quick steps, side by side with the explosive old man, "It's been a long time, you have to tell me, where are you going?"
"What's the matter? Still can't let go of your very important matter?" The old man with the explosive head said indifferently: "I didn't force you to follow me, if you think that another thing is more important, just go, don't force yourself and embarrass me." ”
"I ...... That was not what I meant. Cheng Yiran sighed and continued to follow.
He followed, walking through the bustling streets, walking through the downtown area, and walking through the remote alleys...... This kind of aimless wandering, wandering as if he couldn't see the destination, made Cheng Yiran's impatience reach an unimaginable level.
What's the point of this? What's the point of moving forward without a purpose? He didn't see that this old man had the slightest intention of selling, but it was more like letting himself retreat.
In the end, Cheng Yiran didn't know what he was doing.
This feeling seems to bring him back to the past...... After coming out of the detention center, he walked aimlessly all the way south, leaving the courtyard of the old alley in the capital full of pain.
He even had the idea of giving up rock 'n' roll...... He had this idea even before the first band member said he was leaving. But he never told anyone...... I don't know how I've been holding on.
Whenever the members of the team are discouraged, he always cheers everyone up...... He always said that in order to make Xiaomeng's dream come true, he must stick to this path - he has come to the present, and if he gives up now, don't you feel a pity?
No one wants to give up halfway...... There is even more reluctance to give up on the efforts that have already been made.
I don't give up my sweat, I don't give up my time.
I don't want to let go through the pain I endured, and I don't want to shed tears alone.
In this way, knowing that there will be no result, he still persists numbly.
Meaningless, numb, time-wasting......
Obviously, as long as you stop now, as long as you rush there, you just need to go and see Hong Guan...... But feeling the moment when Hong Guan used the guitar, he might be able to regain the lost ability, and he could continue to use the guitar and go all the way upright......
Those who stick to it, those who are pursued at that time, can be obtained with this guitar.
Clearly...... Just give up.
There is still time...... It's just in time, if it stops here - Hong Guan didn't know he had found it, he didn't know...... He probably wouldn't blame me.
Suddenly stopped.
But it was the explosive old man in front of him, he stopped, turned around slowly, yawned lazily, and looked at Cheng Yiran expressionlessly.
"Uncle......" Cheng Yiran frowned, sighed at the same time, and was about to say: That's it, I don't want it.
"Well, it's pretty much there here. The old man looked around.
Cheng Yiran found out that unconsciously, he followed the uncle to the bridge - this is the bridge connecting the two sides of the city.
The old man with the head of the explosion closed the bag on his back at this time, and under Cheng Yiran's stunned gaze, he threw it out of the bridge without thinking about it—below, there was a flowing river.
Seeing that Nabeth was thrown away, Cheng Yiran suddenly grabbed the collar of the explosive old man angrily, and roared: "You Wang Ba Lao'er!!What are you going to do!What do you want!!
"Didn't you say that it was important to you? Don't you look for it?" said the old man with the explosive head indifferently: "If you can find it, it's yours." ”
"What are you kidding!!" Cheng Yiran clenched his fists, "How big is this river!How can I find it!!"
"If you want to fight, you can fight. The old man said casually: "When you hit me, things may rush farther." ”
Ah——!!!h
Cheng Yiran roared angrily, the fist he was clenching was already hard to the limit, he lifted it high, but it was released at the moment of falling, and instead pushed the explosive-headed old man to the ground.
Cheng Yiran turned around and quickly rushed to the railing of the bridge and crossed the railing.
Jump off!
What the hell am I doing?
But no matter what you do, since you've already jumped off...... Just find it!
In the water, Cheng Yiran, who was temporarily unconscious under the dizziness brought by the high-altitude fall, suddenly exhaled a breath, paddled his arms frantically, and floated to the water.
Cheng Yiran's water quality is not good, and his physical strength does not allow him to look for things in the river like walking on the ground—it is impossible to find them! Something that sinks so much will probably sink into the water long ago.
You should be able to think of that...... Things have sunk to the bottom, and I should have been able to think of this a long time ago. But...... But why did you still jump off?
Without hesitation.
But in the end, it ...... I sank into the dark water, and this time, I didn't have the strength to paddle again.
That's it...... That's it.
"Hey, wake up!!wake up!!Idiot!wake up!!"
......
cough——!
My throat seemed to have been ravaged by something, and my nasal cavity was even more uncomfortable, and I felt shivering even more...... The whole body is already soaking wet.
Cheng Yiran tried to open his eyes, and forcefully opened a small gap, and all he saw was a mess of hair—the hair of the explosion-headed old man had been wet with water.
"Uncle, you ...... Ahem...... "Cheng Yiran rested for a while before sitting up.
He looked at where he was, and in front of him was the great river, and above it was the bridge, and this was indeed a pier under the bridge.
The uncle with the explosive head was twisting the water marks on his clothes at this time, "I didn't expect you to really jump." ”
"Thank you for saving me, uncle. Cheng Yiran sighed, then looked up at the night sky, and said with a wry smile: "I have a good brother who says that I often make stupid mistakes." Actually, that's not wrong at all. ”
The old man with the explosive head didn't look back, and said indifferently: "What, don't blame me for throwing things away?"
Cheng Yiran was stunned for a moment, then smiled, lowered his head and said softly: "Throw it away." Just ...... Just when I thought I was going to die, I realized that maybe it should have been thrown away...... Actually, I was the one who never threw it away. ”
"Yes. The old man with the explosive head nodded, and put the wrung out plaid shirt back on.
Cheng Yiran lay down at this time, which seemed to be more comfortable, and at this moment he looked at the night sky, and his heart was calm.
After a long while, Cheng Yiran suddenly asked, "Uncle, what time is it?"
"It's almost nine o'clock. ”
"It's already nine o'clock...... It seems that it can't catch up. Cheng Yiran smiled and sighed, for some reason, he felt more relaxed than before. At this point, he didn't even want to think too much about it, he just planned to lie down like this.
"What? Still want to go where you just went?"
"No, no. Cheng Yiran shook his head and said, "I can't catch up...... Besides, it's good now. ”
"Where were you going?"
"Over there at the Sports Academy. Cheng Yiran sat up, his face relaxed, looked at the night here, but said calmly: "Speaking of which, we have really come a long way, uncle." ”
"I'll send you there. The old man with the head of the explosion said suddenly.
Cheng Yiran was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "No need, I'll sit for a while, and I'll just leave by myself." I'm fine. ”
"Don't you really want to go to that place?"
"I thought about it. Cheng Yiran's expression was suddenly complicated, but he quickly smiled with relief: "I'm not afraid of you laughing, when I followed you at the beginning, I was still calculating the time, calculating where the limit was that I couldn't follow you anymore, I had to go, but ......"
He shook his head and didn't continue.
"Let's go, I'll send you over. The old man reached out and pulled Cheng Yiran up.
"I really don't need to, and I can't catch up anymore. Uncle, you're also wet, go home, don't catch a cold. ”
"What the hell! Annoyed! I can get you there in less than ten minutes!"
"Ten minutes, uncle, you're not kidding, are you......? Here, here!!"
He looked up suddenly, only to see a flash of colored light in the sky, and then he heard it...... The roar of the tide...... Cheering voices.
"You've been living in this place for so long, don't you know that the Sports Institute Pavilion is next to the East Bridge?"
"Sports Academy Pavilion ......" Cheng Yiran turned around in disbelief.
It...... It turned out to be right behind him.
He looked at the light that shot into the sky from the gymnasium and muttered to himself, "It turns out that it has been behind me all along." ”
