Chapter Seventy-Four: Rock and Roll is Forever Young
Liu Shengli spent this half hour in anxiety, he had never encountered such a thing in his life, uneasiness, fear, and a strong sense of humiliation surrounded him, when the whole village ran to his house to ask for debts, he did not have such uneasiness.
He didn't even dare to look up at the bald men sitting next to him smoking and bragging, these people were depicted with dragons and tigers, and Liu Shengli felt that it would hurt to look at them more.
The big city is really not good, Liu Shengli thought truthfully.
But the thought of the morning light calmed his heart a little, and this young man he had never met before was able to believe in himself, which made him feel very warm.
When Liu Shengli saw Chenxi, he suddenly felt ashamed of himself, he was an honest man, but he never felt that others were much more noble than himself, when he saw the sunshine-like Chenxi standing in front of him, at that moment, he was really ashamed, not because Chenxi came to send him money to save him, but because the boy in front of him was clean and excessively clear, which made him feel afraid to face it.
Shen Nan came to the old shop in front of the station, and at a glance saw Lao Liu, who was sitting at a dining table and was sandwiched between three bald tattooed men.
Seeing this, he basically counted what the situation was.
It should have been slaughtered.
"I'm here to pick up Lao Liu. After Shen Nan entered the store, he pointed to Lao Liu and said.
"One thousand two hundred and sixty pieces. A bald man stood up and stretched out his hand to Shen Nan.
"Didn't you say 1,200 whole parts? Why did you come out again sixty?" Liu Shengli asked a little anxiously.
The bald man glanced at him, and said with a smile: "I drank two cups of tea for you just now, my big red robe is a good one, hundreds of pounds, thirty cups for you, is it expensive?"
Liu Shengli still wanted to speak, but was stopped by Shen Nan waving his hand, this kind of person, at this time, it is useless to argue about this.
"It's a total of 1,260 yuan, right?" asked Shen Nan.
The bald man nodded: "Boy, that's right." ”
Shen Nan took out one thousand three hundred yuan from his pocket, no more, no less, one thousand three, and put it on the table.
"Let's go. Shen Nan pulled Liu Shengli's sleeve and walked outside the store.
The big men didn't stop them, and let Shen Nan take people away.
Liu Shengli lowered his head and walked behind Shen Nan, the night wind blowing his clothes, which was very comfortable.
"Thank you, Dawn. Liu Shengli said suddenly.
"You're welcome, Lao Liu. Shen Nan smiled and said, "You weren't full just now, did you?" I'll ask you to have some more supper." ”
Liu Shengli really didn't eat enough, and nodded at the moment, he already owes Chenxi so much, and the ticket is not yet, he still owes Chenxi again, and now it's not bad for this annoyance, he is open-minded, since he owes it, he still squirms like something.
The "Old Taste Restaurant" is downstairs where Shen Nan lives, next to the hotel, so it usually closes late, and now, there are not many customers, and it is very quiet.
Shen Nan casually ordered a few special dishes from restaurants, ordered a dozen cold beers, and opened a bottle for Lao Liu and himself: "Can you drink it cold?"
Lao Liu looked at Shen Nan's clear eyes and smiled, he smiled very happily, because from the eyes opposite, there was no trace of ridicule, and all of them were sincere.
Lao Liu picked up the bottle and took a big sip, and then let out a satisfied sigh, today he was really tossed enough, until now, he dared to eat a mouthful of Ansheng rice, and the money in his pocket was cheated out, but he was not worried, because he already owed Chenxi such a big affection, and he didn't owe it any more.
After eating some, Shen Nan looked at the man in front of him whose face was full of vicissitudes and did not dare to determine his true age, and asked, "Lao Liu, let's arrange for you to stay in the hotel next to you tonight." ”
Liu Shengli nodded and said, "Okay, thank you for your kindness, I'm welcome." ”
"Today, I came here to look for you. Liu Shengli said again.
However, Shen Nan was a little surprised and asked, "What are you looking for me for?"
Liu Shengli opened another bottle of beer and took a big sip, and then said: "I'm your fan, after watching your live broadcast, I quit my job, I have nothing to do in my life, I haven't seen the world, and I don't have any goals, but when I was young, I liked to sing, I liked it, and then I slowly forgot about it, and now I want to sing again, I know I'm old and ugly, but I just want to sing." ”
Shen Nan nodded, he understood what Liu Shengli meant, and he also understood the kind of inferiority complex in the heart of a person like him that could not be erased at all, because he was also this kind of person in his previous life.
"Well, yes, you're a man with a story, and it just so happens that I have wine, so we can drink for the night. Shen Nan raised the wine bottle in his hand and blew again.
"I haven't studied for a few years since I was a child, I know some words, but I can't write too much, I paid off the famine for my dad for half a lifetime, and now I want to live for myself, I want to sing, whether I can succeed or not, I just want to sing. Lao Liu is not good at words, just a few words over and over again, going around and around, he himself is a little blindsided.
But Shen Nan was still listening carefully.
"I came to you to show you the songs I wrote. Lao Liu finally got to the point.
Shen Nan was a little surprised, he didn't expect this scumbag who looked dirty to write songs, he instantly blamed himself, he still subconsciously underestimated the person in front of him, why? Is it because of his appearance? Or is it because of something else?
"Show me. Shen Nan's face became solemn, and he suddenly found that the middle-aged man in front of him, who was not good-looking, was much more powerful than himself, and he relied on the system today, but he was able to write songs by himself without reading any books.
Liu Shengli took out the yellowed pieces of paper that were older than Shen Nan from the inner pocket in his arms and handed them to Shen Nan.
Shen Nan took it, carefully opened it, and looked at the content one by one, he is now a person who has exchanged and used composition knowledge, he is considered a professional, and it is not a problem to read staves, and it is easier to read simple notation.
He looked at the lyrics and hummed softly along with the score, and slowly, he smiled.
He suddenly found that this Lao Liu's song is really well written, although it is not as good as the professional level, and there are still a few inappropriate places, but the humming is quite smooth.
What surprised Shen Nan the most was that the song written by Lao Liu turned out to be rock.
A soil uncle with a face full of vicissitudes of life, he actually has a rock heart!
He suddenly remembered a sentence: those who play rock and roll are always young.
Shen Nan had always thought that this sentence was a braggart slogan, but now it seems that it is true, at least those who play rock and roll have a young heart.
And the old man in front of him, who looked to be at least in his sixties, did have a young heart.
