Chapter 1: Wandering Song

It's not a day in May, it's a day in September.

It's early morning again, and it's still the vicissitudes of the song that walks through the streets and alleys.

The breeze has no aroma of wine,

People get drunk.

Drunk and asleep,

It's hard to go back to the old normal,

Light rice, coarse tea, and happy accompaniment.

The breeze has no aroma of wine,

Wake up with cold noodles,

Yesterday is still there,

Alone tonight,

He was even drunk and fell asleep.

……

Over and over again, over and over again.

There is no momentum of shock, there are no various twists and turns, there are just dull and low tunes. Plain but very penetrating, shuttling through the city, word by word into the needle like a needle one after another in people's chests, conveying joy and sorrow.

"Daddy, that guy started singing again."

The little girl ran all the way down the corridor to her father's side, rubbing her sleepy eyes.

He is tending to the flowers and plants in the courtyard, one by one, carefully taking care of them. Didn't pay any attention to the girl's arrival. He stroked the white and slightly goose-yellow Tianshi chrysanthemum, and murmured: "Time flies so fast, her death day is coming." ”

"Daddy, what are you talking about? What kind of death day? The girl scratched her head and touched her nose with her hand again, looking innocent and confused.

"It's nothing, I didn't say anything about the death day, maybe you haven't woken up yet." He said with a smile, his tone soft and soft.

He leaned down, set aside the kettle in his hand, half-squatted in front of the girl, gently rubbed the girl's hair with his right hand, and rested his left hand lightly on her tiny shoulder.

"Why don't you rest for a while so early, and come here to find me?" As she spoke, her right hand shifted from her forehead to her pink nose, and then pinched it gently.

"The guy outside started singing again, and I couldn't sleep because of the noise." The girl said a little aggrieved, but then she seemed to be a different person, crossed her hands on her hips, and pouted, "Daddy, don't keep pinching my nose, I'll be angry!" Your nose is pinched red by you! ”

He was speechless, couldn't cry or laugh, and didn't know what to say when the girl said a word. Suddenly, I thought that the person the girl said was singing again, and a figure appeared in my mind, and I said in my heart: Since you know that her death day is near, and she is still so depressed, if she is still there, what face do you have to see her? Does she want you to be like this?

"Daddy? Daddy? The girl shook her arm, "Daddy, what are you thinking?" Don't be in a daze, the guy outside is singing early in the morning, and it's so noisy that I can't sleep! Go and get him to stop singing. ”

The girl's eyes were full of sparkles, glittering with demands and a doting look reflected in them.

"Okay, okay, I'll accompany you to find that person. Let him stop singing, so that Nannan can't sleep in peace, so go to him! He seemed to have made some determination, and pulled the girl through the corridor and towards the gate.

The breeze has no aroma of wine,

People get drunk.

Drunk and asleep,

It's hard to go back to the old normal,

……

One by one, the sound entered his ears, and one word after another sank deep into his ears. He couldn't help frowning, shook his head, and sighed lightly. The girl heard her father's sigh and turned her head to look at him, but she didn't know why her father sighed, but when she saw her father like this, she must have been depressed, so she was obediently led by him, and she didn't say a word, she was a good girl.

Outside the door, by the fence, sat a man in rags, with shaggy and disheveled hair, gray and unwashed, who had not been washed for an unknown amount of time. And it was from the mouth of this unkempt man that the song was sung. The man still sang, ignoring him and the girl, as if he were the only one in the world, or that he was immersed in his own world.

He stood quietly in front of the man, motionless, staring at the man, intently, thoughtfully. The girl looked at the sloppy man sitting against the wall and turned her head to look at her father with a serious face on the side, although she was curious about the actions of the two, she still didn't dare to take the lead, and quietly leaned behind her father, waiting for her father to solve it.

"It's been three years, and she's been gone for so long." He spoke.

Seeing that the man did not react, he immediately came back and said, "After so many years, do you plan to continue like this forever?" What are you counting like that? You might as well end yourself up as soon as you live like this! Now that your life is not yours alone, you treat yourself like this, can you satisfy her? You're satisfied, but what about her? Did she save you just to let you live as if you were dead? It's okay if you're irresponsible to yourself, but what's your point as her pay? Are you worthy of her? ”

His tone grew heavier and heavier, the girl had never seen her father so excited, and she took two steps back, she was frightened by him. The man stopped, his eyes fixed on him.

"Ke Wei, what qualifications do you have to say about me? Why do you say me? You know it's a dead end, why do you let her go? Don't think I'll be grateful to you if you saved me, don't think about it! ”

"You know her best, Beimang. Can we stop her, don't you know in your heart? If you hadn't acted recklessly, she would have risked her life for you, and many brothers would have lost their lives for you? What do you do now with their sacrifices in exchange for your life? You're just a coward, is it really that hard to face reality? Are you so willing for them to die in vain? ”

"What if you are unwilling, they took it away from the Chamber of Commerce, the family expelled me, the brothers died for me, she also left, I have nothing, what to take is unwilling!"

Tears fell one by one, dripping on the bluestone pavement, splashing tears, and the crisp sound stung the eardrums.

"You still have me!"

Ke Wei thumped his right hand to his chest and said unswervingly, these four words were as solid as a rock, overlapping Beimang's chest.

Beimang looked at Ke Wei for a long time, but slowly opened his mouth and sang:

The breeze has no aroma of wine,

People get drunk.

Drunk and asleep,

It's hard to go back to the old normal,

……

Ke Wei closed his eyes, opened them suddenly after a while, took a deep breath, took the girl's hand and turned to leave Beimang. The girl was puzzled, he saw that the man was still singing, and the father took him away without looking back.

And Ke Wei thought in his heart at this time: he is wandering, and his heart may not be, a word of love can destroy a person, but who is ruined is unknown!
