Even though I knew that the "Mood Bar" was opened near Sifang Street, Qiao Ye and I, who came to Dayan Ancient City for the first time, were still lost in the winding streets, but my mood was not as eager as Qiao Ye, I enjoyed this psychedelic world that seemed to be painted with 10,000 colors, and the bar and music were still the themes in this psychedelic world, so some people hated to be red on the artificially built stage. Dancing naked, there are also literary and artistic young people holding a guitar neatly dressed, singing the loneliest song in their hearts with a lonely expression.

Yes, Lijiang is such a place, it seems that everyone is standing on its heart and eagerly expressing themselves, and it seems that we are all living on the back of it, and we can't touch the true meaning of life at all, just extreme consumption, extreme curiosity, and extreme sadness here

As I walked, I pushed Qiao Ye beside me to the other side and said, "Don't get too close to your buddy." ”

Qiao Ye looked at me suspiciously

"Damn, people are surrounded by girlfriends who are like flowers, but you are tired of being a fool walking next to me"

Qiao Ye jumped like thunder: ""

I stopped, sat down on a bench on the side of the street, lit a cigarette, and said, "Rest." ”

"What the hell are you doing with me, you've walked down so many roads, are you still a few steps away?"

I immediately followed Qiao Ye's train of thought and replied: "You and Su Han have been separated for so many years, is it still a moment and a half?"

Qiao Ye wanted to leave me alone, but I shouted to him again: "You sue me, when you see Su Han later, what do you want to do is to continue to vent the impulse brought from Nanjing on her?"

Qiao Ye stopped, turned to look at me, his expression was a little dazed, and this dazed just proved that he hadn't thought about what kind of emotion to use to face Su Han before this, and what he was doing now was not well thought out.

I said to him again: "I don't know if you looked back at Qin Miao before you left the underground parking lot, she really cried so much that my conscience was disturbed I feel that I did a very jerked thing with you, because I know that Su Han really doesn't want to meet you again, but Qin Miao is waiting for you with all her life Qiao Ye can give her a normal family." ”

Qiao Ye lowered his head and replied for a long time: "Jiang Qiao, whether it is Su Han or Qin Miao, it is actually an obstacle in my heart that I can't get over, and I also want to let myself stop a little, but people's will is difficult to control, so there are so many people who are addicted to drugs in this world, and Su Han is a drug-like woman to me, I can't control the amount of dopamine I produce in my brain when I think of her."

I took a deep puff of my cigarette and said, "Actually, you don't need to explain it to me in such a scientific way, I can understand what you are doing, I just hope you can restrain yourself, whether you can see Su Han later." ”

Qiao Ye and I finally came to Sifang Street, and also found the "Mood Bar" in the west of the street, I was still standing side by side with Qiao Ye, he was a little nervous, and I couldn't figure out what he was nervous about. Perhaps, he was afraid that he would come all the way but not see Su Han, maybe he was afraid that after seeing him, he would already be a person or not, this tension contained more complicated feelings, in short, I saw that his shoulders were trembling slightly.

We dragged our suitcases in, and like all bars, there were bartenders, resident singers, a group of customers consuming, and dazzling lights, but I felt a little disgusted, because compared to the "mood coffee shop" in Nanjing, this "mood bar" in Lijiang is completely designed to please customers, and it is too commercial

The bartender brought the drink list and began to greet Qiao Ye and me, I took it calmly, and after asking for a few bottles of beer, I asked him: "Little brother, is the proprietress of your bar here, please tell her, just say that a friend from afar has come to see her." ”

The bartender looked at me and Qiao Ye, then shook his head and replied: "It's really a coincidence that the two of you came, our boss lady went abroad, and it is estimated that she will not come back this year." ”

Qiao Ye couldn't accept this fact, he exclaimed: "You said that Su Han went abroad"

"Well, the proprietress deliberately found a professional manager to take care of the bar before going abroad, and she rarely came back after that, I only came back once in the video, and I only stayed for two days."

Qiao Ye almost collapsed, but he still didn't want to give up, and asked again: "Which country did she go to?"

"I really don't know."

"Then you always have someone in the bar who can contact her."

Qiao Ye's over-excitement made the bartender look at us with some alarm, and I then asked for a bottle of foreign wine that was worth a lot of money, and then explained my relationship with Su Han. And told him that I was the current owner of Nanjing's "Mood Coffee Shop", so he let down his guard and found the bar manager who could only contact Su Han.

But the manager didn't give us hope. Even he was only keeping in touch with Su Han in his daily work by email and form, and he didn't know which country Su Han was in now, so he only said that he could convey our intention to Su Han.

I'm even more sure that Su Han had already expected such a day, so she left Lijiang, just like when she left Nanjing, but she really needed the profit of the "mood bar", so she kept it, but what can it be

Qiao Ye and I came all the way, but after all, we still pounced. I had already told Qiao Ye that it was impossible for him to find a woman who was deliberately avoiding him.

After a moment of silence, Qiao Ye finally said to the manager who was the only one who could contact Su Han: "You help me tell Su Han, just say that I, Qiao Ye, am waiting for her in Lijiang, and I will give her five days, if she doesn't come back, don't blame me for doing extreme things Also, Qiao Ye has not changed for so many years, and has been waiting for her news."

The bar manager looked at Qiao Ye, obviously surprised by his cold words, no one dared to think that Qiao Ye was joking at this moment, and he was such a man who wrote the two words willful on his face, this is not an exaggeration, every time Qiao Ye stood with us, people who had heard of his reputation but had never seen him would always recognize him at first sight, because he has always had a temperament that others can't imitate, I define his temperament as wild and horizontal, and this kind of character will drive him to rarely think about the results after the fact.

After Qiao Ye said this, he dragged his suitcase and left the bar, and I whispered in the bar manager's ear: "My name is Jiang Qiao, and you can also help me bring a message to Su Han: I hope she can come back to see Qiao Ye, and then explain the rights and wrongs of these years, because Qiao Ye is much more stubborn than she imagined, she has been hiding like this, hurting a group of people, including herself."

Leaving the bar, I put a piece of electric board that matched the model of my mobile phone in the store that sold mobile phones, and after eating something, I went to a bar with Qiao Ye on the observation deck, and we asked for a dozen beers, and without much gossip, we put a lot of love in a somewhat cold liquor.

I was a little tired, leaning back on the rattan chair, and then looking at the bamboo pieces hanging on the eaves and the lanterns swaying with the wind, the world seemed to become open, and the whole old town of Lijiang was in the place where I leaned over to see, there was a trace of grace, and a little euphemistic magnificence.

Compared to the center of the ancient city, this bar on a high place is obviously much quieter, so many couples who like to be quiet sit here and whisper in the night wind, but Qiao Ye and I, two lonely men, have performed silence over and over again

After a long time, I finally recorded the scenery I could see at the moment with the lens of my mobile phone, and then sent these photos of only the landscape to my WeChat circle of friends, I did not emphasize that I was very lonely at the moment, only said that Lijiang is a city where hormones are diffused everywhere.

I tossed my phone aside, and then lifted the beer bottle to Qiao Ye on the other side in the blowing breeze, and we touched it, and each drank a bottle of beer.

To be honest, it's hard to hide my thoughts in such a place, and I finally said to Qiao Ye, who had been silent: "Such a good wind, such a beautiful scenery, such a ** night, I really don't want to sit opposite you stupid, can you give a little smile?"

Qiao Yepi looked at me with a smile, and replied for a while: "I know what you are thinking, at this time, if it is Chen Yi, the beautiful host, who is sitting opposite you at this time, you Jiangqiao is the winner in life."

My heart moved, as if I saw Chen Yi sitting opposite me at the moment, although I was drinking beer and she was drinking coffee, but we were in love.

Maybe it's the fantasy that's so beautiful that I can't help but light a cigarette and I want to make it more psychedelic. In this way, Chen Yi's appearance will be more real, but in an instant, my eyes passed through the smoke again, and I froze on the singing equipment diagonally opposite, and I couldn't control Xiao Ai, if she was there at this time, she would definitely be there, holding a guitar and singing a song I like, but what is amazing must be everyone sitting here at this moment, because there will be no more beautiful girl than her in the whole of Lijiang, not to mention that she still has amazing musical talent.

I picked up the beer bottle again, took a sip alone, and then there was nowhere to put my somewhat restless gaze, so the quaint buildings, the angular eaves and the mountains looming in the distance, and the flickering lights all appeared in my sight, and finally turned into a beautiful picture to comfort my loneliness and longing for so-and-so

I'm a little distracted

At this moment, a woman sat down next to the singing equipment that had been empty, holding a guitar in her hand, and I woke up instantly, and then I was disappointed to find that I was facing a woman I had never seen before.

I've always liked women who have neatly groomed hair, but the woman with long shawl hair in front of me still caught my eye, because her temperament was so special at the moment, she was holding half an unfinished cigarette in her hand, and there was a glass of beer on the square bench next to her, of course, which she was drinking.

She didn't speak, but took a sip of beer from her cup with her cigarette in her hand. When she looked up, I realized that she had a tattoo on her neck, and I couldn't see exactly what she was tattooing, but I already knew that there must be many stories on this woman's body, and her mind was full of beliefs that ordinary people could not understand.

Of course, this may also be my delusion, and this delusion stems from the complexity of my vision of Lijiang.

She brushed her windswept sideburns with her slender fingers, and then finally spoke, her voice very magnetic: "Good evening, everyone, welcome to this old public ice and fire bar, I, I hope to spend a pleasant evening with my singing voice." ”

The crowd applauded in anticipation

The woman then looked through the sheet music and said to us, "What follows is an original song by my friend, Old Dreams of the Empty City. She said and picked up the cigarette and took a deep breath, then squinted her eyes, looked at the lights under the landscape with some distraction, and said for a long time: "He is a very talented musician, I hope everyone likes it." ”

The applause rang out again, and a curious customer pulled his throat and asked, "What's your friend's name, can you find his songs on the Internet?"

  smiled, but didn't reply, then plucked the guitar strings and played the song's intro

I picked up my phone again and searched the Internet for the song Old Dream of the Empty City, but there was no record at all, it turned out that this song really came from a singer who was not famous, or, this singer was already very famous, but he just wrote this song to this woman.

Just when I was about to put down my phone, a call suddenly came in, my breathing became short, in this depressed night, Chen Yi actually took the initiative to contact me, although I knew that she was mostly for Qin Miao and Qiao Ye's affairs, but still gave me a big surprise.

Yes, it's a surprise as long as it doesn't involve our love that has no answer and no future, and I'm willing to talk to her about a qiē in this world.

Writing the book Tulip, I think the biggest change is that I don't like to say something at the end of the chapter, which may be mature, or it may be alienated from the readers, but it doesn't matter, because our communication has been in the plot and expression of ideas in the book, and I want to do a little activity about the book in the near future, or choose a voice platform to chat with you, and talk about the regrets that everyone cares about in a few books.
