Chapter Seventy-Four: Yuntang Town
The little folk singer's name is Xu Chuyue, and she is a student of Wuyue Conservatory of Music. She majored in folk songs in college, but when she was in school, she fell in love with folk songs.
Although there is a difference between folk songs and folk songs, they are very different in both content and form.
Xu Chuyue was addicted to folk song creation when she was in school, and formed a folk song group with another classmate in the same school very early. The relationship between the two girls is very close, their voices are very distinctive, and their singing skills are also good, and they have uploaded some self-composed and self-composed songs on the Internet, which have been selected by a big-name studio.
But just when people were about to support their debut, an accident took the life of Xu Chuyue's partner.
Xu Chuyue collapsed, she dropped out of school and began to walk around, relying on bars and other places to sing to make a living. After running around for a while, she finally chose to stop in Weiyang - there are mountains and rivers here, the weather is neither hot nor cold, and the pace of life is not hurried, which is the life she wants.
In the two years she spent in Weiyang, Xu Chuyue rented three different places, and the house she is renting now is a relocation house in Yuntang Town.
Cigu District is the most southeastern urban area of Weiyang, because Huaichuan was silted up into a lake called "Cigu" when the ancient flood was named, it was developed relatively late, and many villages have been rebuilt into communities in recent years, and the lakeside community is one of them.
The lakeside community was originally called Huyuan Village, and there is another town called Yuntang Town not far away. Part of Yuntang Town has been developed and connected to the expanding city, and the original villagers have also moved back to the building. This developed community is called "Xinyunli", and a street next to Xinyunli retains the name of Yuntang.
Yuntang Street is a well-defined street, and its east side is the Xinyunli Community, which is the most edge of the continuous extension of the city; To the west is the remaining part of Yuntang Town, which has not yet been demolished and has been largely abandoned, as if it were the last position of the countryside that had been invaded by the city.
It can be said that one side of this street is a high-rise building, one side is a low house, one side has become a city, and the other is still in the countryside, just like the Chu River and Han boundary, which is a typical suburban dividing line.
Probably because of this, coupled with the fact that the rent of the other half of Yuntang Town, which has not been demolished, is cheap, so it has become a place of mixed living. Many people from all walks of life who come to Weiyang to seek a living also bring a variety of needs, such as restaurants, food stalls, Internet cafes, KTVs, hair salons, "red light districts" and underground casinos in dark alleys, and even cafes, teahouses and bars for business talks.
Xu Chuyue also sings in a bar called "Haoqing", although the venue is more rustic, but the income is not less, those "big guys" with gold chains around their necks and tattoos on their arms like to swing wide.
A man named "Hammer" once got drunk and directly picked up a whole stack of bills and threw them at the microphone. Others didn't want to show weakness, they threw money on the stage, Xu Chuyue picked up more than 30,000 yuan from the stage that night, according to the agreement with the bar owner, the tip of more than 10,000 yuan will be divided into 28 yuan, Xu Chuyue got more than 20,000 yuan, enough for her to pay a year's rent.
The owner of the bar, nicknamed "Big Head", is a kind man most of the time, but when trouble arises in the bar, he always has all kinds of small means.
The resident singer here is also often in danger, sometimes two groups of people quarrel while talking, and they pick up the guys from their bags and cut each other while scolding.
Xu Chuyue already had experience, and at this time she rushed to the backstage directly with her guitar - the boss once told her that the person who smashed the field would have to lose more money anyway, as long as she protected herself, did not kill anyone, and did not provoke the police to come, everything was easy to say.
But the most annoying thing is the harassment of men.
The bar here is a place for a bunch of big guys to drink. A girl like Xu Chuyue, who has a delicate face and a refreshing dress, can easily arouse the hormones of drunk men. There are often drunk people who climb up to the stage and do something to Xu Chuyue, who is singing.
Xu Chuyue is not a girl who is conservative about sex, but she has an innate dislike for this kind of lustful man who has no integrity, no taste, and no quality.
She has naturally accumulated some experience in dealing with this kind of person for a long time, and under normal circumstances, she can still be wronged, so she is not bad in the field.
Of course, there are times when she is at a loss of skills, but every now and then, she never gives in, just drops the microphone, walks straight out, and then goes through the back door of the bar and never returns.
Although the boss will deduct the money if she abandons the scene, Xu Chuyue doesn't care. She is a wanderer anyway, and she has watched the life and death of her partner, and she doesn't want to be too accommodating for the rest of her life.
On the day she met the "ghost", she also sang in "Pride". Of course, she doesn't sing anything related to pride, she only sings ballads that moaned without illness, but it doesn't matter, it's quite elevated to have a big living person singing in this kind of place.
Xu Chuyue was plucking the guitar strings, humming her new work intoxicated.
"Song Ci said that thousands of miles can be together Chanjuan, but you are not there, in the world where there is a moon......"
A thirty-year-old man, drenched in alcohol, staggered towards the stage with a half-bottle of beer. Because of his unsteady steps, he tripped and fell to the ground with a thud when he stepped onto the edge of the stage.
The wine in the bottle in his hand spilled, and the foam flowed slowly on the stage, squirming towards Xu Chuyue's feet like a worm.
Seeing this disgusting situation, Xu Chuyue quickly got up from the high chair. She tried to dodge, but was grabbed by the ankle by the man lying on the ground.
"Little sister, your legs are so white, white, thin and long." The man said drooling.
Xu Chuyue suddenly felt goosebumps all over her body, and she was most tired of being touched without warning. Fortunately, she was wearing a pair of half-heeled shoes, and she subconsciously raised her leg and stepped on the man's face with one kick.
The man screamed, as the saying goes, you don't hit someone in the face, let alone be stepped on in the face by the soles of your shoes, let alone the soles of high heels. He scolded loudly and pulled the vest on his body, revealing a big green dragon on his back and chest.
"Damn, little shameless, if you don't kill you today, I'll take your surname!"
Xu Chuyue was also taken aback, she took a few steps back, but fortunately, the bar owner ran up to the stage in time.
"Brother, the little girl is not sensible, don't be like her."
"Ignorant?! Then Lao Tzu will train her well! ”
"Dissipate your anger, I'll treat you today, and I'll pay for you." The boss dealt with the tattooed man, and gave Xu Chuyue a look, meaning to let her leave as soon as possible.
"The money paid for is all on your head and deducted from the residency fee." The boss's tone was serious, and he said coldly to Xu Chuyue.
