Before leaving Mount Sinai Hospital, Lan Li found Anne again.

Anne was dripping, her immature eyebrows tightly tangled, making people clearly feel her pain, realizing that she was also a child who had to be hospitalized for many years because of her illness. But her eyes widened, and she said strongly, brightly, "Anne is a strong girl, isn't she?

Standing in front of these children, Lan Li always felt so small and helpless.

After cheering Anne on, Lan Li took his leave and left. Alex's surgery is still ongoing, and the transplantation of the heart is not a minor operation, it can be as short as five or six hours, and as long as ten hours, and the waiting time is long and painful. But compared to the thin figure lying on the hospital bed, everything became insignificant.

Sitting on the subway, rickety, people coming and going, noisy and noisy, but people are completely strange individuals between people, indifferently and vigilantly distanced, quiet, enjoy the rare silence and tranquility, but let the mixed mood precipitate. This is true for supermarkets, but also for the subway.

Before he knew it, Lan Li had been at Mount Sinai Hospital for more than three hours, and when he came out of the subway again, the setting sun had hung obliquely between the tall buildings, reflecting the swaying Hudson River, as if it would sink at any moment. Lan Li smiled dumbly, wondering if Neil was interested in visiting Hudson at night, otherwise, the bet he made last time would be postponed again.

Compared to his own home, Lan Li knows the roads around the pioneer village well, and there is no need to carefully distinguish them, after leaving the subway station, let the footsteps move forward, and naturally find the destination. However, on the streets today, the crowd seems to be much more special, which makes Lan Li a little surprised-

When he arrived at JFK in the morning, he thought that most of the reporters were heading towards Venice and Toronto, and that most of the "eyes" left in Manhattan were missing, but why did that feeling disappear now, but instead felt turbulent? Is it because of the rush hour?

Isn't it Saturday? What is the rush hour! As for the frenzy of weekend nights, the night has not yet completely sunken, so naturally it cannot be so fast.

Lan Li is also full of question marks, but if you think about it, this is New York, a New York city with a population of 8 million, there are countless events and parties every day and night, and different groups, different ethnic groups, and different classes can always find their own moments and areas. This shouldn't come as a surprise.

Picking up her doubts, Lan Li stepped on her skateboard and headed in the direction of the pioneer village. But instead of decreasing, the question marks are increasing—because the crowd seems to be moving in the same direction as his. Then, Lan Li saw the spectacular scene at the entrance of the pioneer village.

The mighty procession began to stretch back along the block, and at a cursory glance, it seemed that it had reached the end of the street, and continued to line up, and a corner entered the next street; one after another, you could see the crowd joining one after another, cheerfully greeting, walking to the end of the line, meeting acquaintances, and couldn't help but stop, laughing and chatting; the bloated crowd almost filled the entire pedestrian street, and the crowds of people coming and going had to borrow the roadway in order to move quickly, which made the passing cars slow down。

The scene in full swing seems to ignite the heat of midsummer again, rolling and boiling.

As far as the eye can see, there are at least more than 200 people in front of you, and you can still see people joining intermittently, such a grand occasion, even the hottest clubs and nightclubs in New York, the peak of the crowd, is probably such a scale, but it will have to wait until after ten o'clock in the evening, now, absolutely impossible.

The scene in front of me is as lively as it is abnormal.

Lan Li involuntarily raised his head and looked at the vast night, above the navy blue curtain, the residual light of the setting sun was still burning, some of the street lights in the streets of Manhattan were on, some were not, and the sky was glowing with thick cyan. He was not mistaken, the night still did not come.

So what's going on right now?

The Pioneer Village is one of the recommended places to visit at the end of New York City Hall, not only because it retains the original architecture and décor of the thirties and forties of the last century, but also because it has preserved the essence of the Golden Age of American music, which is one of the historical testimonies of New York art.

But as a jazz bar, it has completely declined in contemporary society. With the exception of a handful of cities where music originated, such as New York, Memphis, and Nashville, jazz bars have all but disappeared. Even as a "tourist attraction", pioneer villages have not been very popular.

In Lan Li's memory, the pioneer village that could accommodate about 80 to 100 people could be counted on two hands on a night when it was completely full. Every time, there are big-name singers who have become famous and come to sing, and they start to promote about half a month in advance, attracting tourists and fans, plus professional old fans, which fills the pioneer village.

So, is it because of the big names coming to sing tonight -- Norah Jones, Jason Mayez, Taylor-Sift, or Train?

Lan Li slowed down and slowly stepped on his skateboard, looking for a promotional poster at the gate of the pioneer village - when a big-name singer comes, the PR agency will definitely have a corresponding poster, the difference is only in the scale. However, Lan Li was disappointed, he didn't see anything, which made him more and more confused.

Looking at the people at the door who were preparing to line up to enter, Lan Li was a little hesitant, he didn't want to cut the line, so did he want to enter through the back door?

The thoughts in my mind had just popped up, and I didn't have time to think about it before an exclamation came from my ear, "Young Master!"

"Whew. It was the sound of a gasp, and the street that had been noisy one second was silent this second, in stark contrast to the second half of the procession, which was still chattering and bustling, and it seemed that it had not noticed the abnormality at the entrance of the pioneer village, and this gap made the silence at the door more and more distinct, and it seemed that even the sound of breathing had been snuffed out. It's like extinguishing a cigarette butt, and there is not a single wisp of green smoke.

Lan Li followed the voice and looked over, and his eyes couldn't help but show surprise, "William?"

It's not William Taylor, it's not just William, there are a few familiar faces next to it, Granham Hughes, Hope Baez, Tessa Briden...... These are all familiar fan faces, and Lan Li has seen them many times before and after, and he is very impressed.

It's just that they're in the pioneer village, what's going on? It's not a movie premiere, it's not a classic movie night in an art theater. Is it a special tourist? It has nothing to do with him?

"Is there any event here tonight?" Lan Li asked casually, and then saw the breath-holding faces, their expressions were hideous and funny, they couldn't tell whether they were laughing or crying, they just looked at each other, which made Lan Li can't help but chuckle, "What, what kind of special event does it need to cosplay?"

Tessa, who was standing next to her, couldn't help but take half a step forward, "Young Master, didn't you come here to participate in tonight's event?"

After going back and forth, Lan Li became more and more confused, "Is there any special situation that I should know?" After three weeks of vacation in the Caribbean, isolated from the world, Lan Li felt that he couldn't keep up with the pace of the world.

"Lan Li, Lan Li!" Janice Black, who was drowned in the crowd, only noticed Lan Li's appearance at this time, and beckoned repeatedly, "Why are you here? Nathan said yesterday that you are on vacation in Cuba." Did you make the trip back?"

Lan Li nodded at William and the others, stepped forward to Janice, gave her a hug, and said with a smile, "Can anyone explain to me what the hell is going on? I'm completely confused right now, should I run away? For example, someone inside wants me or something?"

This joke made Janice laugh heartily, but the others next to her didn't seem to react, their faces were still in shock, and their eyes were bright looking at Lan Li, motionless, without making the slightest sound, lest the slightest sound would break the dream and make them wake up and return to reality.

"You don't know?" Janice reacted at this point, muttering "Nathan didn't actually mention it to you", and then explained, "After your album was officially released, Stanley and Neil were so happy. Talking in the bar every day, the more I talked with a group of old guys, the more happy I became, and one by one it was as if I had lost my mind. And then last week, they thought, why not attract more real music lovers to come over and share and discuss, so Neil posted an event on Facebook, inviting people who really like your music to come to the bar and have a 'Don Quixote' album audition. ”

Lan Li opened her mouth and tried to make some comments, but found that she was running out of words.

Janice patted her head, "Look at my memory, I've forgotten it." They said that they won't invite you, it's just a communication between fans. I guess that's the reason why Nathan didn't mention it to you. Hey, since you don't even know, why did you come here today?"

“…… I just came back from vacation today because I have to go to Toronto for the festival next week. Lan Li looked back at the huge queue in front of him, and couldn't believe his eyes, "So, you mean, these people are here specifically for my album?"

Not for Lan Li, just for the Don Quixote album?

"You should ask them about the situation. But, if I'm not mistaken, yes, it is. Janice also made a joke, teasing Lan Li's stunned and frightened, and then patted Lan Li's shoulder, "Since you're here, let's join in." Stanley: Surely they wouldn't mind. With that, Janice herself burst out laughing and pushed Lan Li into the pioneer village.

William and the others, who remained at the door, looked at each other, exchanged glances, and then ...... "Ahhh
