Chapter Eighty-One: Busking

Old Town, transparent streets and Pigeon Square.

Achu stood in the middle of the Dove of Peace Square, looking at the noisy crowd, and the huge Dove of Peace stood in the center of the square, as if representing peace. Today, even on a normal Thursday, there are as many people as ever.

All you can see is wandering singers learning from each other. All you can hear is the hysterical shouts of the wandering singers. The square is brightly lit, the wandering singers come and go, and we wander in the noisy square. He didn't expect that there would be so many people in the square tonight, and all the wandering singers from all over the city would come here to sing songs? What the hell? Is there a big song competition?

He exhaled, his heart feeling extra nervous tonight. Maybe he realized that tonight was a big event, and he had to give it his all. He knew exactly what he was going to do, so he hid everyone from coming here to fight alone.

Although he didn't have a professional knowledge of music, he couldn't even tell how many tones there were in music. But with his many years of mixing in national karaoke, he believes that he will have a grand performance tonight and make a lot of money.

"Hurry up Chu Yunan, it's seven o'clock, sing until eleven o'clock. You have to believe in yourself, you can do it! He muttered to himself, do all boys with delusions like to talk to themselves?

He had already deeply engraved tonight's plan in his mind, and summed up the full meaning in one sentence, "He must make money to buy gifts for Chen Yunhan before eleven o'clock tonight!" ”

The plan sounded like a tumultuous one, but it was so difficult to implement that he didn't even know where to start. He had been wrestling with his plan for two days at home, and finally a friendship overcame reality, and he mustered up the courage to take on the heavy lifting for himself. He should be proud of himself now, but looking at his sad face, he didn't seem to be happy.

"I don't know how much money I can make in four hours, but I hope I can meet a good Samaritan. But no matter how it ends, the voice has to be hoarse. Achu took off the black backpack hanging from his shoulder, he unzipped the backpack, and took out the Bose stereo, a microphone, and a microphone stand, a full power bank and data cable, and a large thermos mug from inside.

There was chrysanthemum tea brewed in the thermos cup, and he knew that he would fight until the last moment tonight, so chrysanthemum tea that moisturized his throat was essential. He had heard someone say that if you go out alone to sing on the streets, you should carry a knife with you. Achu didn't know what the point of carrying a knife was, could it be that he was peeling apples for others?

"Are you going to sing?"

Someone was talking, and Achu looked up at each other, and a girl of his age walked up to him. He looked at the other person's whole body, wearing a Lolita dress, and the indescribable colors were simply fancy and bells.

Achu nodded slightly, "That's right." ”

"Can you sing a song now?" The girl asked him bluntly.

Achu shook his head awkwardly, "Uh...... I'm not ready. ”

"Cut, if you're not ready, then you sing a fart, get out." The girl's true face was revealed, she glanced at Achu and turned to leave.

Achu stood in place with a stunned face, even if the other party disappeared into the crowd, he would hurt others, "Cut, I won't sing to you." ”

But after a while, he was very sad, because he drove away the first customer tonight, so how can the plot be picked up in the future?

He took out a USB flash drive from his pocket, and he plugged it into the USB port of the audio base. This USB flash drive contains his favorite music in the first half of his life, regardless of men and women, young and old, regardless of national art, and regardless of the universe and galaxies. Every time he goes out to sing on the street, he has to take this USB flash drive with him, like his magic weapon. The USB flash drive was engraved with the word "tangyuan", he loved the word tangyuan to death, but he didn't like to eat unstuffed tangyuan.

Achu pulled the microphone stand high, and the height of the stand stayed at the chin. He snapped the microphone onto the stand, turned on the microphone switch, and slowly adjusted the volume of the microphone. He coughed casually, and there was a strange sound in the square in an instant.

"Music music music, my music." He squatted down, the speaker had not yet been turned on, and the USB flash drive was just plugged in. Once the speaker is turned on,The music in the USB flash drive will be imported in,Who doesn't know such a simple truth.。

But there is a problem with his stereo, once the stereo is turned on, the music will automatically play. An extremely introverted person like him must not expose superfluous music, in fact, to put it bluntly, he does not want to attract the attention of others. So he took advantage of the fact that when the speaker was turned on, he pressed and held the pause button of the speaker with lightning speed.

Suddenly, he found a problem, what if someone only listens to songs and doesn't give money?

He turned on the stereo, and the music for an opening line immediately played, "Whe."

eDidThePa

The song "tyGo" broke through the sky in an instant through the entire square through the amplification of the sound. He was caught up in the carnival of music and didn't want to switch to the next song at all.

One of his favorite rock bands from Chicago, USA, "FallOutBoy! ”

"Okay, okay, it's noisy, be quiet for a while, it's time to get down to business." He swiped the audio button and switched to the next music, Xu Song's "Why Can't You Confess Version".

He loves Xu Song's song "Why not", his face is a kind of joy, and his attitude of liking all kinds of music is expressed as a big radish.

The familiar musical accompaniment sounded slowly, and he held the microphone stand, his lips at a distance from the microphone.

"Hello everyone, I'm Chu Yunan, this is my first album to be released, the original album is customized, one of the recommended tracks in it, the lyrics and arrangements are all myself, I hope this song can bring you a warm feeling in this cold winter."

He was never trying to tamper with someone else's lyrics, after all, that's what the original lyrics were. You change vae to your own name, and the lyrics that follow are sung out loud in a shameless form!

"The sky wants to rain, I really want to live next door to you, stand stupidly downstairs in your house, raise your head, count the dark clouds, if there is a piano in the scene, I will sing to you, even if (good) many basins of water are poured down." Achu sings seriously and never giggles.

The lyrics are very simple, and the meaning is very simple, I hope you can be happy every day.

"Summer is coming to an end, please buy less ice cream, don't wear short skirts when it's cold, don't be so naughty, if you're not so happy sometimes, I'm willing to lend you Glomy, you actually know my heart."

At the beginning of the climax of the song, the crowd in the square seemed to be attracted by Achu's singing, really like a Achu girl.

"Sing this song for you, there is no style, it just means, I want to give you happiness, I want to thaw the ice for you, I want to be a moth to the fire for you, there is nothing that is not worth it. Sing this song for you, there is no style, it just means, I want you to be happy, tossing and turning for you, why not give up the world for you, a little warmth in the late summer and autumn, and the colors of the seasons......"

Four minutes passed quickly, just the time of a song. He watched some people patronize and listen to songs without giving money, he knew that his singing voice was very charming, but no matter how attractive you were, you had to give money! There is no free music in the world!

He suddenly felt that earning a gift money in four hours was a bit untouchable, too far away.

The speaker automatically switches to the next song, Wu Kequn's "Writing Poems for You". He adjusted to his best and continued to sing, he had to cheer up and tell his inner self that you were on the battlefield, and that there were no deserters on the battlefield, only the vanguard of the charge, and the corpses that no one cared about.

Either be a pacesetter, or lie on the ground as a dead man. The music prelude sounded, it was the slow rhythm of the piano like "Little Star", and Achu opened his mouth, he was ready.

"Love is a strange thing, and I began to lose control of my whole body. Love is a kind of ability, and I didn't even know myself at first. I've done too many stupid things for you, and the first thing is to write poems for you. Write poetry for you, be still for you, do the impossible for you. For you and me, I learned to play the piano and write lyrics, and I lost my mind for you. Write poetry for you, be still for you, do the impossible for you. Play all the love song sentences for you, I forgot to say, the most beautiful thing is your name. ”

He sang the last line, and the image of the girl suddenly flashed in his mind. Her appearance vaguely appeared in Ah Chu's mind, and Ah Chu gradually lost his mind and almost sang out of tune. I don't know what that guy is doing at home, he may be alone with a candle stuck in the small cake, making a wish on the small cake, but in his heart he insults Chu Yunan for being a big bastard! Anyway, he's so busy now, he has several songs to sing, let her scold, and return the salute when the time comes.

A song of forty-five minutes was sung by him unconsciously. Time flies so fast, he looks at the time on his watch, and it has become 7:55. Then he glanced at the tin cans on the floor, which contained banknotes and coins.

The mission progressed even slower than expected, and after all this time, the tin pot had not been filled with money. Originally, he wanted to drag a bucket over, but seeing the current situation, fortunately there was no bucket at home.

He relaxed his shoulders, and the stereo switched to the next song, Xu Song's "If You Become the Wind". He always likes Xu Song, compared to the other wandering singers in the square, each of them sings enthusiastically. Achu couldn't understand what they were singing at all, maybe the lyrics were a little hot.

The musical accompaniment sounded, and he never gave himself a chance to breathe, and continued to sing, looking pitiful and pathetic. No one knows what he's singing so hard for, it's just that he loves music anyway.

"If you turn into the wind, I will turn into rain, guarding your side, and smiling will be red. If you turn into the wind, I turn into rain, love locked between the eyebrows, like water floating in the past. Obedient my little girl, you look too cute, every boy chasing you is super powerful, but I'm thinking about how to sayhi, what to do if I go on like this, how to love sweet and sour. ”

"I'm not a boss, I don't have an oversized house, if I send you

Ose, can you give me cha?

CE, I don't want to see time fly by so little by little. ”

"The old master is wearing a wig, I don't want three-inch golden lotus nonsense, I want to dance a miniskirt with you, I want to take you home to see your mother. If you turn into the wind, I turn into rain, guard your side, smile into a red face, if you turn into the wind, I turn into rain, love is locked between the eyebrows, like water in the past......"

"Good, good, good, the young man sings well! One more song. Suddenly, there were more people around, and everyone had smiles on their faces. Achu looked at the tin cans on the ground, which were full of banknotes.

"Thank you for your support......" Achu suddenly wanted to cry without tears, his tone seemed very sad, he stopped the music, and he pretended to cry and face the crowd.

"To tell you the truth, my girlfriend had cancer a month ago and is in dire need of money. I looked for a lot of options, but ...... I just can't save money, so I posted my belief on the Internet, and those enthusiastic people on the Internet helped me one by one, but now the medical expenses are still a little bit short, just a little bit. ”

Ah Chu was born with a slut expression and exaggerated acting skills, if anyone really believes his nonsense, it is estimated that his brain is rusty.

"It's so poor young man, my girlfriend got cancer at a young age, which makes me inadvertently think of my wife who died five years ago, Ah Lian!" An old man in a sixtieth century actually cried, and Achu swore to heaven that he would never know this old man.

"So...... How much does it cost? Someone spoke in the crowd.

Achu covered his forehead and pretended to cry, "One thousand seven hundred and ninety-five yuan and four cents ......"

He calculated in such detail, and the change number was something he came up with in a split second. I don't know if anyone will believe this kind of lie.

"Wow! It's really detailed enough, it doesn't look like a lie. ”

"Good! I'm up for you, young man! I'll give fifty dollars! After all, I only have fifty dollars on me. ”

"I'll give twenty dollars!"

"I'll give five dollars and four cents a point! I'm going to be a fraction! ”

The enthusiastic people around began to donate money one after another, and each of them took out money from their pockets and threw it into the tin can, and Achu felt for the first time that it was so beautiful to be thrown money in his tin can.

"Slow down, everyone!" Achu's face was shocked, and the voice came from the crowd. He suddenly had a bad premonition, if someone took advantage of the trouble, then he would lose all his previous efforts and everything would have to start all over again.

Out of the crowd was a young man who looked to be a year or two older than Achu and two heads taller than Achu, wearing a floral shirt and holding a cigarette in his mouth. Achu doesn't know each other at all, so the same other party doesn't know Achu either. Since the two parties don't know each other, suddenly coming out like this is either easy-going or smashing the field.

The young man looked at Achu and looked at the music equipment around him, and then the young man turned to face the crowd.

"Don't believe him! He's a liar! He just wants to win everyone's sympathy and cheat everyone's money! He's not a wandering singer, he's not a street performer, he's just a liar! He just wants to insult the wandering singers and street performers, everyone quickly get all the money back in the tin can, don't give this liar the slightest chance! ”

"You ......" Achu was very angry and felt insulted, he pointed to the young man and said, "I am not related to you, why do you treat me like this?!" ”

"Yes, we are not related to you, why should we help you as a liar?" The young man turned his head and smiled.

"I'm not a liar!" Achu yelled at him.

"I didn't expect this young man to be a liar......"

"I thought he loved his girlfriend very much, but I didn't expect him to be a liar......"

"It's so disgusting, this lad......"

The crowd around them began to crowd up, all accusing Achu of being a liar one by one. Achu collapsed on the spot, he couldn't explain it clearly, he couldn't wait to punch the bastard in the face in front of him.

"You bastard!" Achu rushed over in annoyance and slashed his fist in the young man's face, his mind was now blank, as if he was an impulsive devil.

Although he deceived people wrongly, he did not mean to deceive the masses, he did this because he wanted to save money to buy gifts as soon as possible, but now it is too late to say anything, he has already started beating people first, and he has indeed been charged the title of a liar.

"Liars are beating people! Scammers are beating people! The young man was thrown to the ground with a punch, and Achu choked the young man's neck with both hands.

"Bastard! You bastard. ”

None of the bystanders around stepped forward to persuade them, they leaned on one mouth, and they said whatever others said. For a while, the square became boiling, everyone gathered over, and people came to watch.

The young man's two companions squeezed into the crowd and pulled Achu up, and the two were responsible for holding Achu's hands and trying to drag him out. But now this guy's brain is blank, and he only has a mouth that never stops scolding young people.

"You bastard! you! ”

"Damn, you dare to hit me?" The young man stood up and walked in front of Achu, and went up with a punch.

"Liars are liars, why are you talking so much nonsense." The young man continued to punch Achu in the face, followed by a kick in his stomach, and a set of movements flowed.

"You're a liar! Big liar! Hurry up and take all the money from his tin can! He cheated people out of money! The young man turned and shouted at the crowd around him.

"You bastard!! I'm not lying! It's earned by singing so hard! "Achu's emotions reached the peak of collapse.

"Yes, the lad was right, he earned it by singing. We all watched him sing, and the lad sang pretty well. The old man in the sixtieth armor stood up to explain to Ah Chu, but how can one mouth be worth a hundred mouths.

However, this time people did not explain with the old man, and the young man immediately rearranged his thoughts in the face of the old man's doubts, and he told everyone, "Listen to me, everyone! We, the wandering singers and street performers, all come here to sing for everyone with our skills and love of music, and we are also human beings, and we also have to eat. But we will never allow scammers pretending to be wandering singers and street performers here, using our slogans to cheat people out of their money! ”

"That's right! That guy was right! ”

"That guy has a point."

People began to parrot and be completely carried on the same track by what the young people said. Achu was completely tired, he knelt on the ground and told everyone, "I'm really not a liar, I didn't lie to everyone......"

The young man turned around and looked at Achu with contemptuous eyes, "Then tell everyone, what is the purpose of your coming here?" ”

Achu can only confess and be lenient in the face of the public, "I came here to make money and buy a birthday gift for one of my friends." ”

"Who believes you! You liar! Who would want to be friends with you liar! "Young people don't care what Achu says, even if he says the truth, young people want to confuse black and white.

"Alas, forget it, forget it, whether it's right or wrong, everyone is out to eat, people just come out to sing and make money under a false background, and they haven't done anything hurtful, so why kill them all?"

The old man walked out and stood in front of Ah Chu, he stretched out his hand to help Ah Chu, "Get up, kid, you've suffered a lot, right?" ”

Ah Chu stood up slowly, in his eyes, the amiable old man was like his grandfather......

"I'm sorry grandpa, I lied to you before. But what I'm saying later is really not a lie...... I really came out to sing for my friends. Ah Chu's eyes were full of tears, and his emotions dropped from the highest point to the lowest point.

The old man nodded slightly, and he told Achu, "I believe what you said later, and at the same time, I'm also sorry, boy, this world is like this, no one can achieve perfection, you can't guarantee that everyone likes you." But you can do what you can, at least to make everyone less annoying you. Come on kid, you almost scared me when you were impulsive, and from the way I saw it, it was a devil. But when you sing, you are like a gentle and lovely angel. ”

"Let me guess, the friend you're talking about is a girl, right?" The old man showed a wrinkled smile, and in Ah Chu's eyes, the old man seemed to have the ability to see everything.

"Hmm......" Achu nodded slightly.

("It's all scattered, it's scattered, there's nothing to see, it's scattered......")

"That girl is so lucky to have made you a good friend." The old man smiled and stroked Achu's hair.

"It's her birthday, hahaha." Achu smiled stupidly.

The old man smiled, his smile was indeed full of kindness, "Hahaha, then tell her happy birthday for me." ”

"Thank you, grandpa." Achu smiled and nodded.

The old man finally instructed him a few words, "Son, let me talk to you a few more words." The balance of one's heart is very important, you can't guarantee which side will fall, but you must make sure that you never fall into the dark. Sometimes kindness is not necessarily good, and scheming is not necessarily a bad thing. Kindness will bring trouble to your life, darkness will make you trouble, just keep your balance. ”

"I'm very happy to hear you sing today, and the more I look at you, the more I look like my naughty grandson."

Before Achu could react to what was going on, the old man waved his hand to Achu and turned to leave. Achu looked at the back of the old man who was drifting away, and finally disappeared into the crowd. Suddenly there were four hundred more yuan in his hand, which the old man secretly stuffed into him.

He looked at the empty tin cans that had fallen to the ground, and there was nothing left in them, those people were really cruel. Achu felt that he could only blame himself for this incident, blaming himself for being handsome and singing well, and making a big move.

"It's eight-fifty...... Time flies. He looked at the time on his watch, and when he looked up at the crowd opposite, the young man was always standing in his camp and looking at Achu, and the evil smile on his face was enough to prove that he was a despicable villain.

Achu didn't pay attention to him, he held the microphone on the stand, "There are still a few songs left to sing, keep working......"
