Chapter 119: Finding Suman 2
At dinnertime, I had a casual bite to eat on the street, and then with my curiosity about the unknown world, I began to wander around the ancient city of Dali, with its golden towers, the streets full of people, the singing and dancing performances with national characteristics, and the vicissitudes of the voice of the folk singer in the bar......
When I returned to the inn, it was already about nine o'clock, and I sat down on the bamboo chair in the courtyard of the inn again, and I lit a cigarette for myself to relieve my loneliness...... With a gentle breeze, I stomped on the cigarette butt on the ground and threw it in the trash! At this time, the innkeeper came out with a guitar and said hello to me, "Hey, buddy, are you going to our own bonfire party in the backyard?" ”
I smiled lightly, "No, I like quiet places!" ”
He walked over and smiled, "Come on, such a good night, just say yes!"
……
In fact, the so-called bonfire party is just the innkeeper gathering a few tenants to sit around the campfire and drink beer and chat together, and the number of people plus me and the boss is only six or seven, but this is exactly what I want, and too many people are very messy and disturb the atmosphere.
Sitting by the campfire, the originally vain night was illuminated by the dusk firewood, reflecting our faces slightly hot, looking at the sparks that popped up from time to time, my heart seemed to be really purified, and I really wanted to live here for a moment, but I knew that this was a momentary impulse, in fact, it was too impractical for me...... Although staying by Ah Huo's side for a long time will also be infected by his literary and youthful disease, at least now I still carry a package called reality on my body, which is too heavy, and I only dare to imagine it.
The innkeeper raised the beer bottle in his hand and motioned for everyone to touch one together, and when a bottle of beer was almost drunk, he began to pick up the guitar and said: "I am a person who believes in fate very much, so the name of my inn is 'fate is you', I think that friends from all over the world have chosen my inn, so this is a kind of providence and a kind of fate in itself, maybe tonight is just a parting of fate, or the beginning of fate!" But we will only be silent in this parting feast that has no beginning, talking, grieving or laughing...... Because our theme is: Remember Today, Forget Tomorrow! ”
As soon as the innkeeper finished speaking, the rest of the tenants around him began to applaud spontaneously, and I was silent in the atmosphere and applauded after them.
The strings of the guitar sounded, and the boss sang my favorite song "Go to Dali" with his vicissitudes of voice at the beginning.
"Maybe love is waiting by the Erhai Lake, maybe the story is happening...... I really feel the boss's desire for love, maybe he has to sing this song every day in front of different guests, or maybe this is just the first time he sings this song to outsiders, but what can this prove? Prove that he is still waiting for his own love!
The party ended at about eleven o'clock, and there was a girl who drank a little too much, which caused her to be completely emotionally broken, and kept crying to us about her absurdity, that she had betrayed her boyfriend, just because another person was able to give her the material life she wanted! Now that her boyfriend is married to someone else, she is still reminiscing about the past...... But I don't understand, since I have made the choice to achieve the goal I wanted, why can't I live happily? Love is really incomprehensible, maybe that's the case in the shape of **......
It was late at night, but I couldn't sleep yet, and I still sat alone in the courtyard of the inn and suffered the excitement of the chilly cold wind.
The innkeeper reappeared beside me, handed me one with two beers, and said with a habitual smile, "You haven't slept so late?" ”
I just lightly spat out the smoke and said lightly: "The more vast the scenery, the more lonely my heart is!" ”
The boss took a sip of beer, looked at me and said, "You like this song too?" ”
"Well, I've been listening to this song all the way!"
The boss took a deep breath: "I also heard a guest sing it some time ago, so I like this song very much!" ”
I smiled: "There are still a lot of young people here!" ”
"yes...... She even changed the name of my inn, and it used to be called 'Tinghua Courtyard'......"
I was speechless for a while, but I couldn't help but laugh and said, "Why isn't it called 'Little Flower Garden'?" ”
The boss laughed "haha": "You are the same as the guest!" Her first instinct was to ask me why I wasn't called 'Little Flower Garden!' You two have such a tacit understanding! ”
"So, I still have a lot of fate with him!" I smiled and took a sip of beer: "Meet me another day and ask me to have a few drinks with him!" ”
"I'd like to see her...... It's a pity that I guess I won't see her in my life, besides, she's so beautiful, even if I see it, I don't dare to express my love for her, hey......"
I looked at the boss suspiciously: "She's a woman?" ”
"Yes, it's beautiful, it's beautiful!"
I was speechless for a while, at first I thought that the innkeeper was a man of letters, but seeing his covetous look for his admiration for the goddess, I couldn't help but subvert my three views...... Perhaps, people will always lose themselves in the face of love, and change due to the environment! I even can't believe it, even after I came to Dali alone, I began to have the same force as the god of fire, what is impossible?
After a moment of silence, I was curious about what kind of woman could make the innkeeper mention such a gaffe, so I asked the boss with doubts, "Do you have a picture of her?" ”
The boss shook his head awkwardly: "This is not the case...... I didn't dare to talk to her at the time! ”
"That's an exaggeration, isn't it?"
"Hehe, she doesn't seem to be very willing to talk either...... But it gave me a lot of ideas for running the inn! Not to mention, after the inn changed its name, the number of visitors has increased significantly compared to before, and the bonfire party held every Thursday is also the idea she provided to me, and it is very popular with the tenants, which is not found in other inns...... She said that she believes in fate, and it feels good to be able to bake a campfire while looking at the stars! ”
My curiosity is getting stronger and stronger, although I don't know much about marketing, but I feel that this marketing idea is really good, at least it can establish a unique feature for the boss's inn, many tourists who come here are mostly a bit of a literate psychology, and a connotation of the inn name can quickly catch the attention of tourists, after having a distinctive name, this bonfire party is a feature that can be used as a selling point to promote, and the theme is 'remember today, 'Forget Tomorrow' is more like a catharsis for dissatisfaction with the oppression of urban life......
What's more, the woman in the boss's mouth happens to have a hobby of looking at the stars...... I seemed to feel that I was getting closer to her in the middle of nowhere......
