Chapter 998: Grumpy Nocturne
After nightfall, the coolness gradually comes, and the neon lights of various entertainment stores and the headlights of motorcycles are like passing clouds. The shouts of the hawkers mingle with the music of the nightlife, as if composing a chic nocturne.
Sometimes Xiao Wan walked quietly beside him, and sometimes she bought shiny cheap toys from the vendors, and walked backwards in front of Gao Xu, showing him new and strange plays, with brisk steps and light postures. It seems that because of gravity, young girls tend to have slender bones, and the whole person looks soft and pleasing to the eye.
Along the street, there are colorful and changing lights, and the light and darkness are intertwined on her face, reflecting a very beautiful face, mixed with indescribable softness and innocence.
Gao Xu seems to be dull, his mentality is difficult to get young all of a sudden in a short period of time, and his words and deeds are habitually indifferent. However, his eyes have been paying attention to Xiao Wan's smile, and she seems to be very useful.
The two of them wandered around and walked into a musical instrument store. Many of the things sold on this ancient street are handmade vintage products. Gao Xu stared at a pipa at once, approached and said, "There is actually this thing." ”
The clerk gestured and asked, "Ming pot?" ”
As she spoke, she took her things off and showed them to Gao Xu.
Gao Xu had no choice but to catch it, leaned his ear over, reached out and gently looked at the plank, and then plucked the pipa strings, and then looked at Xiao Wan and shook her head slightly.
"You understand?" Xiao Wan said, "But the antiques sold in this kind of place, of course, will not be a good thing, you get what you pay for." ”
Gao Xu said: "I know a little bit about it. ”
Then the clerk took out the printed pipa score, mixed with Annam and Chinese, and said it with difficulty, probably meaning to buy a pipa and send the score. He casually asked how much it was, and the clerk gave a modest figure.
Unexpectedly, Xiaowan immediately repaid less than one-third of the price, and what she didn't expect was that the clerk immediately agreed.
Gao Xu didn't plan to buy it at all. But now the price has been returned, and it is still very cheap, he didn't say anything more, took out his wallet, and inexplicably bought a pipa with poor sound quality.
The two continued to wander around a few ancient streets to see the oddities, and soon Xiaowan was attracted by a roadside stall again. Gao Xu stepped forward to observe for a while, looked at the broken TV, stereo, microphone and other equipment, and said in his heart: Karaoke?
Sure enough, someone went up to order a song, and then sang it on the side of the road on the TV, which is quite rare. However, this messy place full of stalls seems to be a feature, and there are many tourists, and everyone eats and drinks here casually, and the atmosphere seems to be good.
Xiaowan said: "Let's sing a song too." ”
Gao Xu waved his hand and smiled: "I won't, you sing and I'll listen." ”
Xiao Wan asked, "Can't be a song?" ”
Gao Xu nodded without hesitation and said yes, he had only just come to this era for a month, and he had not yet had time to learn popular songs.
Xiao Wan thought about it, walked up and reached out to take the pipa score she had just bought, looked at it for a while, pointed to a song called "Lover" and said, "You play and sing with me, otherwise it will be boring." ”
Gao Xu looked at the music score on it, and he actually knew it. In the past, Du Qianrui taught him a more complex ancient score, but this pipa score is antique, and the changes are only more simplified.
And most of the songs in this sheet music are digital simple scores, and Gao Xu may not be able to adapt to them for a while; Xiao Wan looked at it just now, maybe she was picking an antique score. This made Zhu Gaoxu feel a little strange.
Gao Xu carefully looked at the score for a while, and after making sure that he knew everything, he nodded and smiled: "Okay, I don't want to spoil the pleasure of beautiful women." ”
So the two of them stepped forward and waited, and when the man in front of them finished howling, Xiaowan stepped forward and ordered the Chinese song called Lover, and then asked the stall owner to turn on the soundtrack.
Gao Xu checked the score and played the prelude first. He already understood that the music was fast-paced and very modern, and Gao Xu even took it upon himself to hit the wood of the pipa and play a sense of rhythm, a bit like a DJ. His pipa technique is quite proficient and professional, after all, Du Qianrui, who studied under him, had a high attainment in music and rhythm in ancient times.
Xiao Wan listened to the soundtrack, picked up the microphone and began to sing. As soon as she spoke, Gao Xu was immediately stunned. The timbre is very pure and good, and the blood in his body seems to be surging up suddenly.
Unlike ancient times, when people sang songs that paid attention to the correct and round words, the current songs express emotions very exaggerated and forceful, and the lyrics are of course very numb. Xiaowan's typhoon is good, her eyes and expressions are in place, and she will have simple small dance steps with the rhythm, which is natural and beautiful.
"Tonight, the moonlight surrounds me, just like you, looking at my gaze. Why, don't you hug me, don't kiss me, like a half moon, kiss the clouds......" She looked up at the moon, then at Gao Xu, holding the microphone tightly. The amorous and charming eyes, I don't know if they are performing the meaning of the words, or expressing emotions, and it makes people unable to distinguish between truth and falsehood.
The pure timbre sings a very passionate and impatient melody rhythm, which has a wonderful contrast. Gao Xu cooperated as he looked at her with a pounding heartbeat.
After a while, Gao Xu was infected by her emotions, and he waved and slapped his fingers harder, as if this was the only way to vent the surging impulse in his heart. He felt lost in it, forgetting who he was.
When Gao Xu came back to his senses a little, he realized that the surroundings had begun to crowd at some point, and many people stopped to enjoy the song. Xiao Wan sings very well, not to mention that she looks stunningly beautiful.
After singing the song, the onlookers applauded. The stall owner waved his hand and said, "Come again, discount." ”
Unexpectedly, at this time, a few drunken foreigners walked out of the crowd, and Gao Xu turned his head to observe them. Two ghost guys were carrying wine bottles, and a black guy in front of them was writhing and singing words he didn't understand. Gao Xu immediately put down the pipa and approached Xiao Wan. The black guy was raising his arm and put it on Xiao Wan's shaved shoulder. Gao Xu immediately reached out, grabbed his arm, and threw his black arm to the side.
The black guy suddenly faced Gao Xu, swaying and saying something, anyway, it wasn't English, and he couldn't even understand a word.
Xiao Wan covered her nose and said, "It stinks, ignore him, let's go." ”
But the black guy suddenly pushed Gao Xu and continued to chatter. Gao Xu spread his hand and said, "We don't know each other, we go our separate ways, and we have nothing to do with each other. ”
The black guy in front of him pushed Gao Xu again, Gao Xu took half a step back and stood calmly, but saw two other ghosts carrying wine bottles walking towards Xiao Wan.
Gao Xu quickly began to judge the situation, there were about five people on the other side, and three of them were already approaching. If you want to do it, you definitely shouldn't fall into a state of scuffle, otherwise you may have to suffer. Gao Xu's current physical strength is not comparable to the Han King who commanded the battle array before.
The black guy suddenly stretched out his arms, as if trying to grasp Gao Xu's shoulders, but the door in front of his chest and face was wide open. Gao Xu was no longer vague, and suddenly opened his legs, and swung a straight fist head-on, but when he approached the black guy's face, the fist changed direction, and the strong wind blew through the opponent's cheek.
Gao Xu paused slightly, turned his fist into a palm, and hit the black guy in the mouth with a "snap". The guy screamed,
Covering the door with both hands.
Without waiting for the other two white-skinned ghosts to react, Gao Xu took the preemptive action, lifted his right leg, kicked over one side, and with a "bang", the ghost guy on the right took two steps back, and then raised his head and fell into the crowd. The bottle also "clanged" and fell on the concrete floor.
Gao Xu glanced at the person on the left, scolded "Cao you brew", and before the words fell, the whip leg flew over, and the guy raised his arm to block it, but the whole person still jumped up vigorously and rolled onto the road.
The remaining two foreigners were far away, Gao Xu glared at them, and after a warm-up, his eyes were fierce, and the two of them took a step back in fright.
At this time, the surroundings were already in chaos, and the onlookers were reluctant to leave while evading, because they were afraid of being injured by mistake and wanted to see the excitement.
Xiao Wan grabbed Gao Xu and said, "Don't run quickly, the police will be in trouble after a while." ”
Gao Xu thought so, but he ran two steps and came back, took a piece of money from his wallet and handed it to the stall owner: "No need to look for it." ”
Xiao Wan looked at him with a smile, then picked up the pipa and music sheet on the ground, pulled him up and ran.
The two of them ran along the bustling street, and when they saw a fork in the road, they drilled indiscriminately. After running for a long time, when Gao Xu looked back, he felt that there was nothing abnormal, so he pulled Xiao Wan to stop slowly.
Xiao Wan gasped and laughed non-stop. She looked up at Gao Xu's dazed expression, and then bent over with a smile, pressed her hands above her knees, and laughed almost breathlessly.
Gao Xu didn't laugh, he didn't understand where the laughter was.
Gao Xu said: "You see, it is still dangerous to go out, especially at night. ”
Xiao Wan raised her eyes and said, "I think the most dangerous person is you, what kind of person you have beaten people." ”
Gao Xu said: "They moved their hands and feet first, can you blame me?" ”
Xiao Wan smiled: "Got it, uncle." The last two words bite hard.
Gao Xu said again: "Don't worry, it's not a big deal. I was also afraid of making an accident, so I didn't dare to kill him. ”
Xiao Wan nodded and said, "In case of bad luck, you are caught by the local police." You have to say, 'I am from the Ming Kingdom, I ask to contact the Ming Embassy immediately', and then the police will not arrest you and leave, and will find a place with few people to discuss reconciliation with you, that is, pay for the matter. ”
Gao Xu asked, "How do you know this works?" ”
Xiao Wan said: "Of course I know that unless you go to a country west of Suez, it is very likely that this will work." Every year, the Ming Cabinet will secretly rate their government, and if the rating is too low, it may help them change and change to a more honest and people-friendly one. ”
Gao Xu said with a complicated expression: "Learned." ”
Xiao Wan said: "Let's go back to the hotel to save trouble." ”
Gao Xu said: "Walk back? ”
Xiao Wan nodded. Gao Xu turned on the mobile phone navigation, and walked back with Xiaowan in the voice broadcast.
When he arrived at the door of the hotel, Gao Xu suddenly turned his head and said, "Walk slowly, but pass quickly." ”
Xiao Wan immediately looked up at him and looked at Gao Xu. A smile gradually appeared on her face, "Do you flirt with a girl when you see her?" ”
Gao Xu was stunned for a moment: "When have I ever flirted with someone?" ”
Xiao Wan smiled and said, "Remember, girls nowadays don't like men with flowers. ”
