Chapter 262: Not Attending Her Funeral
Shen Lin's father picked up the mobile phone to record the video, recorded the video together with Shen Lin, and after chanting the song and making an OK gesture, he began to pluck the guitar, fortunately, we have worked together many times before, although there is no rehearsal, the rhythm is very good.
Nian Ge stood decadently, his lips close to the microphone, and his voice was lazy and hoarse: "Put love in your shoes, stuff your shoes into the bottom of the box, send the box to the courier, fill out a courier paper, and let it go...... This sensational life, no one can help you, let's go, let's go, go thousands of miles away, looking for an unexpected wedding...... Let's go, let's go, go to the depths of time, and let creation rule you......"
The song "Can't Help You" written by Shen Lin makes people's hearts "hot, jumping, and hot." This song is extremely free and easy, I don't know how many people who are grounded by life have a soul living in their hearts, and I don't know how many people have a free city in their hearts.
After listening to the singing, it seems that in the middle of the night, there is a little unspeakable melancholy in my heart, and I can't help but want to cycle a single song, and when I react, I find that other songs can no longer enter the ear, and the deep voice of the song has made this song irreplaceable.
After playing the last note, I was already in tears, and Shen's father, who was recording the video on the side, was already crying silently......
I silently chanted in my heart: "Go all the way, go all the way!" ”
Putting down the instrument in my hand, I leaned the bass next to Shen Lin's spiritual seat, the light above my head, from an extremely awkward angle, cast the miserable white light on the bass, and I picked up the liquor that I had drunk half of it again, drank it all, felt the spicy and burning after the entrance, and no longer thought about the past.
……
After putting away the musical instrument given by Shen's father, Lin Ke put it in the trunk of the singing car, and the four of them sat side by side on the stone steps in front of the door.
I looked up at the city above me that seemed to be entangled with my fate, and the flickering neon lights in the distance were fully asserting sovereignty in this dark night, shaking out a flickering light and darkness, not far away from the demolition site, day and night, and there was a roar of machine operation.
Maybe one day in the near future, this place will be completely transformed and forgotten by people, just like Shen Lin who once came to this world...... And those who once lived here, if they pass by in the future, can only look at a certain building, or talk to themselves, or tell the people around them that this is their hometown where they have lived for many years!
"Will there be demolition of our area in the next two years?"
Mo Qiu raised his head in some confusion, looked at Lin Ke in disbelief and said, "What, are you looking forward to the demolition?" ”
"That place has lost its original meaning, it doesn't make a difference to me whether it exists or not, if your current work involves that area, just tell me, I'm the first to move the land."
Mo Qiu frowned, and then said with some annoyance: "Not to mention that I am no longer involved in these tasks, even if I do, do you think that I will hinder the urban development plan because of your offending leaders?" ”
Mo Qiu's performance made me realize that she still had deep feelings for Lin Ke, but she still seemed to be consciously avoiding Lin Ke, and this kind of relationship that still had a pull made me not know how to open my mouth to reconcile for a while, because in my subconscious, I always thought that Mo Qiu's attitude towards Lin Ke was just avoidance, but this avoidance seemed to have another hidden meaning.
In order to verify what I thought, I brought up the old story again and asked her, "Mo Qiu, I heard that you have recently changed to a new job, which is to do interior design?" ”
"You're a dog? Do you like to inquire about other people's news so much? ”
"Aren't everyone concerned about how you are doing, you see Nian Ge's eyes on you, full of affection."
Nian Ge looked at me silently, but his hand secretly reached behind my back and pinched it mercilessly.
Mo Qiu didn't care about our fighting, and said calmly: "I will never be stubborn, let alone seek death and life, there is no suffering that cannot be endured, only happiness that cannot be enjoyed, and today's life is the result of countless choices in the past." ”
"Mo Qiu, Lin Ke just doesn't like to talk, isn't it?" Nian Ge, who doesn't like to get involved in things, suddenly came to a god assist.
Lin Ke didn't refute either, in front of Mo Qiu, he habitually liked to be silent.
Mo Qiu was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "Sister Niange, don't be deceived, he used to be a wild and uninhibited man, haven't you seen the momentum of him teasing more than a dozen girls in one breath before, how can he be so taciturn." ”
"How did you know each other before, gossip."
"Do you think this is the right time to gossip?"
As soon as these words came out, they immediately became cold, although I deliberately opened the topic, but after all, Mo Qiu and Lin Ke are fatalistic hostile, isn't this unhappy.
Lin Ke was also embarrassed by Mo Qiu's words, but fortunately, there was Nian Ge, the king of the rescue, she took Mo Qiu's hand and said, "How can Yu Hang be in the mood to talk about gossip at this time, he just hopes that you can talk to us more." ”
I chimed in and said, "I don't plan to sleep tonight, if you don't want to say anything, I'll just take the MP3 and listen to the music myself." ”
Mo Qiu seemed to give Nian Ge face, finally nodded, and took over the topic: "It's not bad to talk about this kind of topic in front of him, he made it up by himself, when I was 19 years old, I went to a cram school near the school to substitute teach, and when I was passing through the underground passage, I met a boy dressed like a wandering singer, he sang very well, so good that I stopped and listened to a whole song, he sang very lost, every lyric, as if he barely wrapped his teeth with his mouth, and was later called by me: Lin's singing." ”
After speaking, Mo Qiu gave Lin Ke a look and motioned for him to say it himself.
"However, when I started singing the next song, the chengguan suddenly came and they started accusing me and wanted to confiscate my money and guitar. At that time, I didn't speak, because I had already memorized a punishment on my body, and I couldn't see the future when I played music, and I was afraid that I would be suspended from school for making trouble, so I didn't say anything clearly, and finally sat down dejectedly and took the guitar off my body. ”
"Damn, the guitar was taken away in the end? Just for fear of punishment, this is not in line with your temper! ”
"I didn't know where I got the courage to leave, and I rushed up to tell the chengguan that I was with her, and they were doing a social experiment, saying that I was a professional they had hired."
"This girl is really desperate for love, and she even uses it to lie."
Mo Qiu glanced at me and defended: "I am not lying, because I happened to be preparing for a social experiment at that time, and what I said was very "true", the chengguan looked at me as a student, and because the school was next to me, it was probably because they were afraid of making things bigger, so they said a few words about the little girl studying hard and left." I was stupid at that time, but it was true, I glanced at his guitar, it was very old, and I was sad for a while, and handed him the bottled drink I had just bought, and said to him as if he was sick: Anyway, please come on! ”
"If it weren't for your words, I might have really given up, and when I was going to hand over the guitar, I was going to completely give up this hobby that has no future."
After speaking, Lin Ke looked at Mo Qiu, but the look in his eyes was complicated, but he must have been moved, moved by the changes that had occurred after he met her, and I suddenly remembered Shen Lin in his eyes.
I lit a cigarette, put on headphones and listened to Shen Lin's song, got up and walked along the road alone, until the cigarette was half burned between my fingers.
Standing on the side of the road where the night breeze is most likely to blow on the face, opposite is the small bar where Shen Lin sang before, the bar is still in business, but she has left, all I can do is to see things and think about people, so I think about it a little sad, I took a deep puff of cigarette, and then shook off the ash on the cigarette butt, I can't help but sigh, a person's night is really so difficult.
I stepped on the overpass step by step, the street lamp under me emitted a yellowish light, I stood in the center of the overpass a little sluggish, feeling the loneliness of being the only one, but my heart was getting more and more spacious.
At this time, suddenly a woman came out of the bar, her posture was slender, she was getting closer and closer to me, and I finally saw her really, her eyebrows and eyes were a little similar to Shen Lin, but the style of dress was slightly different, Shen Lin likes capable clothes, and she likes long skirts, the more I look at her, the more I feel like Shen Lin, and even the walking posture has a similar temperament, it is undeniable: she is a beauty, a very beautiful woman, although there is less flamboyance and sharpness in her eyes, but also more heritage and calmness.
My mind resurfaced the back of Shen Lin when she usually left, her thin back was so heart-wrenching, I deeply regretted that when we had the opportunity to meet in the past, I didn't give her enough love, always busy with her own hostel, busy with the trivialities of life......
The body is tired, the mind is tired, I leaned on the guardrail of the overpass, observing the weather at night, the sky just cleared for a day seems to have changed again, maybe there will be a thunderstorm later, this scene is very similar to the day when I and Shen Lin first met, I remember that day it was also so sudden that it rained, drenching the classmates who were happily receiving new books, maybe for us, the past few years are just a rain that has not stopped, I hope everything is still the same.
In the evening, I watched two movies in front of Shen Lin's spirit:
One is "Calling for Love in the Center of the World", and the male protagonist of the movie has a sentence: I am a bad man, I have been running away from her death, and I can't accept the facts. When I said that, the helplessness and heartache I could only know when I experienced it.
The second is "Manchester by the Sea", the male protagonist in the play did not cry bitterly, but in his gestures, he exuded pain that penetrated deep into the bone marrow, there was no reversal in the play, and at the end of the play, the male protagonist was still living with pain. This makes me think: in fact, everyone has the right to keep this pain, and this pain is worth remembering.
Before dawn the next day, according to the custom, it was time to send Shen Lin to the cemetery, but I didn't go with it, because I didn't need this ceremony to emphasize to me the fact that she died, I didn't attend her funeral, and in my heart she didn't die......
……
After returning to the hostel, Li Shi's car stopped in front of the store, and I wondered that my cousin, who had always loved to sleep lazy, got up early and dozed off at the counter in the posture of a store manager.
I nudged him and asked, "Why don't you go to your room and sleep?" ”
My cousin yawned and said with a tired face: "It's almost nine o'clock, what are you sleeping in, you don't know my schedule, you can't sleep when you wake up, and you don't get up early in the morning to send Li Shi to the airport." ”
"What do you say? Take Lai Shi to the airport...... She's gone? ”
