I can't sleep at night, I have a story to listen to, naturally I am full of interest, not to mention that the man in front of me is definitely a person with a story.

At this moment, Brother Sheng also lit a cigarette, and memories came flooding into his heart like a tide.

How do you describe the man in front of you? Well, it all started six years ago.

That year, Brother Sheng was not lame, and Qiaodong was not his home.

This man has a happy family, his wife is as beautiful as a flower, and his daughter is slim.

And Brother Sheng at that time was not like now, making a living by singing.

In fact, he was running a bar at the time, and his career was also thriving.

Usually, in addition to running a bar, Brother Sheng also likes to sing.

This top student of the music department of Communication University of China, in his words, if he were not in business, he might have embarked on the road of acting.

I am convinced of that.

Because later, I did listen to his songs, and it is no exaggeration to say that although his voice cannot be compared with a singer, his unique voice gives people a sense of vicissitudes, which is very warm and comfortable.

How nice it would be if the story had been like this.

However, fate has never been a surprise, and the reason why Brother Sheng is down-and-out and telling the truth is mostly self-inflicted.

The reason is just two words, drugs!

That's right, it shouldn't be, Brother Sheng got this thing.

With drug addiction, no matter how rich the family is, it can't withstand the toss, which is not false at all.

At least on Brother Sheng, it can be regarded as completely ruining him.

Later, he simply sold the bar, and all the money he got was stuffed into this bottomless pit.

At the beginning, his wife persuaded him countless times, but at this time, how could he listen?!

Soon, the family was squandered, and Brother Sheng was still obsessed, and in order to take drugs, he even started the idea of borrowing usury.

When I heard this, I shook my head again and again.

To be honest, I had long learned the horrors of usury at Junzi Company, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they were all outlaws.

Sure enough, the loan shark borrowed by Brother Sheng was like a snowball, getting bigger and bigger. In the end, in order to avoid debts, he hid in Tibet, like a lost dog.

In fact, this lame leg also fell at that time.

It's just that as soon as he left, his wife and children were sinned. Every day, a large group of people are blocked at the door of the house, either intimidating or forcing debts.

Speaking of this, Brother Sheng did not continue, but stopped.

"And then?" I asked.

It's a pity that Brother Sheng never spoke again.

It can be seen that the story behind him, he is extremely reluctant to recall, if he didn't guess wrong, it should be a sad past.

During this time, I asked him if he had any regrets.

And his expression says it all. There is remorse, there is pain, and there is loneliness after waking up.

Before dawn, he finally told me the end of the story.

As expected, it was a complete tragedy.

The sister-in-law jumped off the building, leaving only her daughter, who was still in her third year of junior high school.

At this time, Brother Sheng woke up like a dream. It's just a pity that it came too late.

Looking at Brother Sheng, I had mixed feelings, to tell the truth about the man in front of me, should I despise or sympathize? Or both.

It seems to me that there is no contradiction between despising his past and sympathizing with his current situation.

What is life?

Everyone looks forward to the future, but as they walk, they often live the most unwilling to be, I am like this, and Brother Sheng is even more so.

But there is one thing I admire about him.

This weather-beaten man has a very inexplicable optimism in his bones.

The wind of the morning, the fog of the dawn. At this moment, Brother Sheng actually played and sang by himself.

……

The first snow of 2002

It is a complex that is difficult to give up in Urumqi

You're like a butterfly flying around

Swaying in the snowy season

……

Daolang's song is already vicissitudes, but in Brother Sheng's voice, he clearly sang inexplicably moved.

This man who has experienced great ups and downs, once stood in the clouds, but now it is as low as dust, I really can't figure out, what has supported him until now?

Brother Sheng looked at me and smiled.

"My daughter, she is the one who supports me and lives."

I was stunned, "Your daughter, where is she?" ”

Speaking of his daughter, Brother Sheng obviously couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, and his originally gloomy face suddenly brightened.

"She is in Beijing, this girl is much better than me, and now she is studying outside the second year of Beijing. Little brother, have you ever heard of Beierwai? ”

I nodded.

Isn't it Beijing Second Foreign Language Chinese College?

This university, I remember it very clearly. At the time of the college entrance examination, many boys wanted to report it, for just one reason, I heard that there were a lot of beautiful women there.

Brother Sheng laughed, "You really didn't say anything wrong." My daughter, she is indeed beautiful! ”

Later, Brother Sheng really showed me a photo of his daughter.

But he didn't lie to me, this girl is really good, between her eyebrows, she doesn't look like his father at all.

In my words, it's the difference between a beauty and a beast.

Brother Sheng made me laugh, but I could see that he was really proud of having this daughter.

So, I couldn't help asking, "Then why don't you go to Beijing?"

As soon as these words came out, Brother Sheng was suddenly stunned, and the whole person suddenly froze.

After a long time, he whispered, "I can't see her." Because, she thought I was dead! ”

I was dumbfounded.

There's a story here, there's a story!

Honestly, I don't know whether to ask or not, after all, it's about other people's privacy.

But Brother Sheng didn't mind, and quickly told him the ins and outs.

It turned out that when Brother Sheng returned home, the house had changed owners.

He still learned about his wife's death from others. As for the daughter, there is a vast sea of people, and no one knows where she went?

In desperation, Brother Sheng surrendered and went directly to the drug rehabilitation center. And this entry is two years, and when I come out again, the world has changed.

Because of the disability and the stain on the back, which company dares to ask for it?!

In the end, Brother Sheng had no choice but to embark on the road of a wandering artist.

Listen to him, in those years, the whole country has traveled almost all over the country. And the reason why I chose the profession of wandering artist in the first place is actually for two reasons.

First, making a living is also love;

"Two, to find a daughter?" I suddenly understood.

Brother Sheng nodded heavily.

The man was immersed in memories, and there was a hint of pity on his face.

"The weather was nice and cloudless that day. I sang on the street as usual. Towards the end of the song, I felt like I had seen a familiar shadow. ”

"Is it your daughter?"

Brother Sheng nodded, and in the quiet, there was a refreshing feeling.

"Well, it's her. But she didn't notice me, so she turned around and hurried by, but I knew that after all these years of hard work, I finally found her! ”

End of chapter.
