Chapter 9: Playing in the Tunnels
Wang Qi and Jingya were on their way back, when it suddenly rained heavily, and the raindrops hit them like stones. Jingya pulled Wang Qi to hide from the rain under the eaves, but Wang Qi walked out of the eaves and let the rain hit him. Wang Qi looked at the cloudy sky, as if he wanted to see its appearance clearly, he pointed to the sky and shouted: "God, why are you so cruel, you insist on taking a young life, why don't you give him a miracle at all." Wang Qi fell to his knees on the ground, lightning pierced the sky, the rain fell more violently, and the road was already flooded. The rain kept pouring in, as if it was about to devour all life. Wang Qi shouted: "Why don't you give me a chance, he saved my life several times, but why don't you even give me a chance to let me rescue him." The rain roared with thunder, and Wang Qi was soaked, Jingya pulled him back to the living room.
Fu Haifeng's condition was urgent, Wang Qi and Jingya rushed to the hospital, and when they saw Fu Haifeng who was dying, they were very sad in their hearts. Fu Haifeng held their hands and said, "Thank you two for accompanying me through this most difficult moment, the days with you are the happiest time of my life, and now I am about to separate, please don't be sad for me, because I once had." ”
"I'm sorry, Haifeng, I didn't rescue you." Wang Qi burst into tears.
"Fool, life and death are fateful, you have done a good job, and it is the two of you who make me most relieved." Fu Haifeng looked at Jing Ya who was in tears and said, "Jing Ya, I know you like Wang Qi, I don't blame you, it's me who is caught between you and makes it difficult for the two of you." Fu Haifeng put Wang Qi and Jingya's hands together and said, "My story is over, the story of the two of you continues, I bless you." Tears welled up in Wang Qi's eyes, Fu Haifeng turned his head, looked at the guitar at the head of the bed, and sang: "The night has been thick, whether your mind is still struggling, and how much red dust you have seen, it will eventually disappear." The lonely heart, those unsolved melodies, the melancholy in the heart, how to get rid of it------" Gradually, his voice became weaker and weaker, and finally disappeared.
"Haifeng, wake up." Wang Qi and Jingya shouted, but Fu Haifeng's breath had stopped.
After Fu Haifeng's death, Wang Qi handled the funeral according to his will, and he returned to school with a heavy heart. The school told him that he had been ordered to withdraw from school because he had been absent from school for too much. Wang Qi couldn't believe that he was expelled from school, he returned to his living room, covered his head, and felt very depressed: What should I do? How is this possible, how can such an excellent student as me be expelled. Wang Qi suddenly felt overwhelmed, his eyes were gloomy, he lit a cigarette and smoked it fiercely, the smoke smoked his body, and his heart seemed to be paralyzed. When he looked up, the time had crawled past 12 o'clock, and Jingya was about to return. He looked at the photos of the scarecrow band performing on the wall, he thought that Fu Haifeng was gone, and the scarecrow would eventually disband, but how would he face Jingya? She is a kind girl, Fu Haifeng's death, she was also greatly hurt in her heart, although she had promised Fu Haifeng to take care of Jingya, but can she really take care of her? He has nothing, and now he is out of school, Jingya has a beautiful future, and he is destined to be a drifter. Wang Qi left a letter for Jingya and walked out of the room with the violin on her back.
Wang Qi rented a house in the suburbs and lived like a mole, sleeping a mess during the day and playing in bars, cafes and subway stations with a violin at night. He woke up from his sleep, turned on the light, the light shone on him, as if there was only a shell, Wang Qi put on his clothes, put on his violin, and walked out of the door. He came to a bar, the bar was very noisy, few people were listening to his music, Wang Qi finished playing the tune, the owner gave him money, Wang Qi took the money and walked out of the bar.
Wang Qi was playing in a café, and suddenly a guest said, "Hey, violin, I'm in a good mood today, you can play a cheerful song for me." Wang Qi pulled "The Song of the Wanderer", and the drinker rushed to the bandstand, threw down a wad of money, and said to Wang Qi: "Do you see that I have no money, so I don't pull, don't worry, the money will not be less yours." Wang Qi didn't even look at the pile of money, and still pulled "The Song of the Wanderer". The guest rushed forward again, grabbed Wang Qi's collar, and said, "Do you look down on me, thinking that I don't know the violin, play it for me, do you hear?" The café owner stepped forward, persuaded them to leave, and said to Wang Qi: "You just pull it for him, and you don't want your life, it's true." Wang Qi finished playing the tune, put the violin into the piano bag, and walked to the door of the café, where the owner shouted: "It's great to be able to play the violin, don't come to my performance tomorrow." After listening to this, Wang Qi walked out of the café.
It was a little overcast, dark clouds covered the sky, and they crawled slowly, but there was no rain coming down. Wang Qi was playing the violin by a small river, and the worm wriggled under his feet, and hurried home. The moth also burrowed into the grass, the eagle circled in the sky a few times and disappeared, the wind blew the tips of Wang Qi's hair, he was engrossed in playing the violin, and suddenly a few points of rain hit him, and he was sober. He opened his eyes, and there stood a child in ragged clothes with unkempt hair, looking at him with bright eyes. Wang Qi asked, "Why don't you go home?" ”
"Mom and Dad quarreled, and I ran out." The kid said. Wang Qi looked at the child and remembered his parents, his father was a music teacher, his mother was a businessman, one was engaged in art, and the other was engaged in economics. The mother finally couldn't bear the father playing the violin every day and filed for divorce, and the two had a dispute over the custody of the son, and the mother gave the father a sum of money in order to obtain the custody of the son. The night before leaving, his father handed him the violin that had been with him for many years, and was knocked down by a truck on the street in the dark night, unconscious. His mother married a wealthy businessman, and he lived with his mother ever since, but he hated the family and rarely went home after he went to college. Wang Qi patted the child and said, "Go back quickly, it's their fault, not yours." Wang Qi gave all the money on his body to the child and returned to the rented house.
Wang Qi was playing in the underground tunnel and saw a girl with waterfall-like hair covering half of her face, she was graceful and fair-skinned, playing the guitar in one corner and humming a song. The girl's voice was very beautiful, clear and lingering, like a spring breeze blowing through a lily, Wang Qi was unconsciously attracted by this sound, and walked to her side to accompany her. The girl sang a few songs in a row, and her beautiful timbre attracted many passers-by. At the end of the performance, the girl gave Wang Qi half of the money, Wang Qi didn't want it, the girl gave it to him, and said with a smile: "Take it." Wang Qi finally saw her face clearly, it was an elegant round face, and a pair of watery eyes. The girl cleaned up the scene, got on her bicycle and went away.
It was getting dark, Wang Qi was drinking wine at a stall on the street, and two young people sitting at another table were talking about him. A man with dyed yellow hair said: "Carrying a violin on your back is considered an artist, and you cheat and eat and drink every day." Another long face said, "Catch up with Ming'er, let's go get one too, and I'll sing you to pull it." ”
"Okay, we don't have to do any work at that time, and we can still lie to girls." Huang Fa said, Wang Qi glanced at him, Huang Fa came over and said, "What do you see, you are not convinced, are you very good at pulling?" Pull it and let me see. Huang Fa was about to touch Wang Qi's violin, but Wang Qi threw Huang Fa's hand away and continued to drink.
Huang Fa was furious and hit Wang Qi with his fist, Wang Qi took Huang Fa's fist and pressed Huang Fa's arm down. The long face came over, overturned the table, and the three of them fought together. After Wang Qi resisted their attacks, he quickly turned from defense to offense, and beat the two gangsters to the ground, and the two gangsters begged for mercy. Wang Qi let go of the two of them, twisted the violin and left the stall.
