Chapter 179: Love
Ran Fenqiang doesn't drink, so the boss will shout to the bar: "Make a pot of tea for Da Ran, ask for the best tea!" Take a plate of dried fruits by the way! ”
Because they are all villagers, Ran Fenqiang does not shirk, he usually sits down to drink tea and eat fruits, and sometimes chats with the guests around him. When he was done, he stood up, smiled and waved to the people at the bar, and left through the back door with his kit on his back.
That night, the drain of the Haoqing Bar was blocked again, and Ran Fenqiang took half a day to dredge it, leaving his hands and clothes with dirty mud.
Brother Canned used to ask him to sit, but he saw that his clothes were not clean, so he felt that it was not convenient, and he didn't want to affect other people's business, so he just took the money, waved his hand and left directly.
There is a small courtyard at the back door of the bar, and due to the illegal construction everywhere, the courtyard has been eroded layer by layer, leaving only a narrow aisle.
Ran Fenqiang walked along the passage to the end, but he didn't expect the courtyard gate to be knocked open, and a long-haired girl rushed in with a guitar on her back, maybe the pace was too fast, or it could be that the aisle was narrow, she couldn't dodge it, and fell to the ground with a bang.
"Are you alright?" Ran Fenqiang hurriedly asked, he originally wanted to reach out to pull it, but thinking about the mud on his hands that had not been washed, and the difference between men and women, he quickly retracted his hand again.
"Shhh......hh Ran Fenqiang hurriedly turned on the flashlight, and he saw that the girl was covering her ankles, and her thin heels were also torn off.
"Don't worry." Ran Fenqiang opened the kit as he spoke, he took out a bottle of Yunnan Baiyao from his waterproof pocket, sprayed it on the girl's swollen ankle, and then took out all-purpose glue and glued her heel.
"Why do you have everything in this bag?" The girl looked at the various tools in her bag and said in amazement.
"Eat from these bastards." Ran Fenqiang lowered his head, his face flushed.
"Come on, pull me up." The girl held out her hand.
"My hands - just finished their work, and they weren't cleaned."
"The hands that work are clean." The girl grabbed Ran Fenqiang's hand and dragged it to her feet. She carried her glue and guitar on her back, and walked to the bar with one jump and one hop.
Ran Fenqiang looked at the girl's back, he was a little dizzy. Before, he wore new clothes, cleaned up, and traveled thousands of miles to buy a Vietnamese "bride", but he was cheated of money, not to mention, and was scolded as a fool.
He smelled the sludge on his hands, and it made people want to sneeze, but the girl didn't care, and she said that diligent hands are clean.
His heart was pounding, and for the first time in his life, he had a feeling of indescribability, even though he had only been walking away for two minutes, and he couldn't wait to see her again.
Fortunately, God is gracious, and within two days, the circuit on the small stage of the bar went wrong again.
Ran Fenqiang changed his clothes from the inside out this time, took a good look at himself, and his whole body was clean. When he arrived at the Pride Bar, he happened to see the girl holding the guitar and sitting on a chair singing a cappella.
Ran Fenqiang didn't dare to look up at her, he was busy behind the stage for a long time, his clean clothes were covered with dust, and he was covered with sweat.
Today, the boss is not there, and the canned brother beckons Ran Fenqiang to sit down and drink some tea according to the custom. Ran Fenqiang no longer shirked, he found a seat in the dark, drank tea quietly, and listened to the girl sing.
There were only two or three customers in the bar. The girl sang the song, and there was only a small applause.
"Thank you." The girl said lightly. She put her guitar on the stage and walked off the stage to drink water, just as Ran Fenqiang also stood up and wanted to leave.
"Come on, come on," Brother Canned beckoned, "Let me introduce you, this is a talented female singer who has not been here for a long time, Xiao Xu." ”
"Xu Chuyue." The girl didn't smile, but she held out her hand to Ran Fenqiang.
"Ran, Ran Fenqiang - the name is a bit earthy." He rubbed his hand on his clothes, stretched out and gently grabbed Xu Chuyue's hand. Her hands were small and cold.
"Canned, I'll go first, first." Ran Fenqiang was shy and embarrassed, even though he didn't want to leave at all.
"Wait a minute." Xu Chuyue suddenly opened her mouth to stop him, "Do you also live in Xinyunli?" I'm going to get off work soon, can I go back with me? I was a little scared to walk alone at night. ”
"No, I don't live in Xinyunli, but I happened to go there to buy medicine today. So ......," Ran Fenqiang responded excitedly.
There was no moon that night, and the night was as dark as ink. Xu Chuyue walked in front with a guitar on her back, Ran Fenqiang followed cautiously, and the two walked through a few alleys and walked onto Yuntang Street.
Yuntang Street was empty, except for a few massage parlors with red curtains and lights on, all the other shops were closed and turned off.
"You go buy medicine." The two came to the gate of the community, and Xu Chuyue pointed to the pharmacy diagonally opposite.
"I, I'll send you downstairs, I'm afraid it's not safe." Ran Fenqiang stammered.
Xu Chuyue smiled, and the two walked into the community one after the other.
"Listen to the can, you are decathlon and very skillful." Xu Chuyue finally opened her mouth to talk.
"Eat with a mouthful." Ran Fenqiang said in a low-key manner.
"By the way, you can fix the guitar?" Xu Chuyue suddenly slowed down and asked him.
"Guitar?" Ran Fenqiang was stunned.
"Yes," Xu Chuyue patted the guitar behind him and said, "I bought this one a few days ago, and I still have an old guitar, which is very easy to play, but it was broken." ”
"Broken? How did you fall? ”
"When I was singing at the last bar, a guy got drunk and rushed up to the stage to hug me, and I kicked him to the ground and hit him on the head with my guitar a few times, and the resonance box cracked."
"Huh?" Ran Fenqiang looked at the soft and weak Xu Chuyue, he couldn't imagine how fierce this skinny girl looked, but he still nodded and said, "Although I haven't repaired it, I can try." ”
"That's fine." Xu Chuyue said, "The guitar is upstairs, you can go up with me." ”
"No, no." Ran Fenqiang was so frightened that he waved his hand vigorously, "I'd better wait downstairs for you to take it down." ”
……
Although Ran Fenqiang has never repaired a musical instrument, he is a good learner, and he bought books from the Internet that introduce the principles of musical instruments and make acoustic guitars, and he pondered the materials, inlays and handles little by little.
He found that the sound of this guitar changed not only because the resonance box was broken, but also because the glue was opened at the handle, he glued the crack, readjusted the handle, and then polished and painted it, and ran to return it to Xu Chuyue after drying.
Xu Chuyue got the guitar and couldn't believe her eyes.
"This is repaired?" She looked at it in amazement, then plucked a few strings lightly, and found that the tone was clearer than before.
"The stone house at the foot of the mountain, the flowers on the mountainside, and the only wind blowing at the top of the mountain......" She plucked the strings and hummed a few words, then raised her head and asked Ran Fenqiang, "Is it good?" ”
"Good, good, just like the sky, the sound of heaven."
Xu Chuyue snorted and laughed: "How can it be so exaggerated." ”
