Chapter 105: The Mysterious Man in the Underground Band
For all the coincidences in the world, according to the Buddhist scriptures, there is always a cause and effect, and the theory of cause and effect can explain all frightening or exciting coincidences.
But how do I explain such a supernatural event now?
I said to Zhou Xu: "No kidding, I was really born on March 5th, and our birthdays are actually the same day!"
Yes, in the vast sea of people, the same name and surname and the same birthday, this probability will be much smaller than the two-color ball?
Everyone looked at each other, the Zhou Xu just now said countless words "clever", this time it was really clever. Zhou Xu touched his head and said, it seems that we were really born in the same year, the same month and the same day, not brothers are better than brothers, in this case, there is no way to divide the big Zhou and the small Zhou. However, Brother Zhou, do you remember when you were born? Okay, let's come first and come on the same day.
I said, "I'll have to remember this, I remember my mom saying I was born in the evening, it must have been about six o'clock." ”
Zhou Xu's face was cloudy, revealing a very regretful look. Li Yun, who had not spoken, asked, "How is it, have you come out in order?"
Zhou Xu grinned: "This is also ridiculous. I was also born at six o'clock in the afternoon. ”
This time everyone let out an "ah" and then fell into an embarrassing silence. For a moment, there was no coincidence or coincidence in my head, and it couldn't be described as a coincidence.
Zhou Xu of the Normal Academy said helplessly: "It seems that we can only use the first set of plans, Comrade Zhou Xu of Hangzhou University." ”
I said, "Let's not talk about it today, it's going to be a supernatural story." ”
"What do you mean by a supernatural story?" Zhao Xiaoxuan interjected and asked.
I laughed and said, "It's a ghost story." ”
The three girls immediately opened their mouths into a semicircle.
Then I started talking about the recent anecdotes about the school, including the newly opened karaoke hall. I said that the song hall had just opened, and the person in charge of the song hall was a good friend of mine, so why don't you invite everyone to sing. By the way, you don't have a guitar with you, but let's enjoy your singing voice.
Zhou Xu of the teacher called out happily: "Okay, okay, let's go sing together." ”
Liu Lili glared at him and said, "Why are you always like a child, so fun, I said can you learn from the Hangda Zhou Order, be steady." ”
Zhou Xu of the Normal Academy said with a bitter face: "It's obviously his idea." ”
Speaking of "ideas", I really had an idea in my head, so I said: "This teacher Zhou Xu, this name is still too awkward, weird, why don't we call you Zhou Tianwang?" You're the guitar king anyway. ”
At that time, it was the era of the "Four Heavenly Kings" of Hong Kong and Taiwan, and everyone laughed when they heard my suggestion, Zhao Xiaoxuan was the first to say yes, "It's good," she said, "The king of heaven covers the tiger, the river demon of the pagoda town, the king of heaven is against the pagoda, do you want to call this Hangzhou Zhou Xuan as Zhou Pagoda?"
Saying that, she naturally covered her stomach and laughed wildly, leading everyone to laugh. Li Yun also said: "Zhou Pagoda, it's quite good, very manly." ”
I said angrily, "What a nice sound, it's like a bandit's name." ”
King Zhou Tianwang couldn't help but laugh and said, "Forget it, you girls don't bully my big brother Zhou." Although we can't tell the difference in age now, I recognize him as the eldest brother in my heart. And in this vast sea of people, it is really rare to meet friends who have so many coincidences on both sides, come, Brother Zhou, Brother Zhou, I will toast you here first. After drinking this cup, we are considered brothers. After speaking, he raised his glass to me and made a gesture of a hero, and immediately drank it all.
My heart was hot, and I raised my glass and drank it all.
"That's right, Brother Zhou." The little Zhou brother, who had just recognized me as his eldest brother, said to me mysteriously, "Do you remember that I once said that I seemed to have seen you somewhere before?"
"Yes, I remember, I really wanted to know where you saw me and why I wasn't impressed myself." I say. Actually, of course, I have an impression myself, and this impression is definitely the kind that is deeply imprinted in my heart, but I can't say it.
Xiao Zhou took a sip of wine and said slowly: "But I am very impressed, I felt very familiar when I first saw you, but I really didn't know a person with the same name and surname as me, also called Zhou Xu." After I met you in front of your school's psychology department that day, I've been thinking about it all the time. ”
Li Yun touched my arm when she heard this and asked, "In front of the Department of Psychology building?"
I coughed lightly to acknowledge it.
Xiao Zhou continued: "Later, I really remembered. At that time, it was also summer, that is, in August of the previous year, I had just been admitted to the music department of the Normal School, and I came to Hangzhou early because of the free time before the start of school. I also heard that Hangzhou is a very beautiful city, so I came to experience it first. ”
"One night, I went to the Xinhua Cinema to watch a movie, right at the intersection of Yan'an Road and Xinhua Road. Brother Zhou, you are from Hangzhou, you must know that there is a flower and bird night market next to the Xinhua Cinema, right?"
I said, "Yes, that's right, it's one of the busiest places in the city at night." ”
Xiao Zhou nodded, and continued: "Yes, it's very lively, I like that place very much." In addition to many shops selling flowers and plants, and stalls selling all kinds of strange products, there is also a street garden where local citizens gather. The night I went, I saw a group of young people playing the piano and singing in the garden, well, how to put it, it was like ------"
I immediately picked up and said, "Like Cui Jian and his band, or the Black Panthers?"
"yes, like an underground rock band. I've heard people say that the band often comes to the garden at night to play and sing, but it's purely for fun, not a performance group. Xiao Zhou continued to tell his story.
"As you know, I've always liked music, and their playing and singing skills are definitely not low, and I noticed that one of them plays the guitar, and he looks about the same age as me, but he is very familiar with the technique, and his skills are definitely much better than mine. I was really surprised that there could be such a guitar master in such a small street garden. Hehe, my level is nothing to him at all, he is the king. ”
"Then I listened intently to his performance, he was very casual, and it wasn't a formal performance anyway, so he played a few classic songs on his own, and then he played and sang a California hotel, and the solo in front of him was really good. This scared me a lot again, anyone who can play and sing this song, or as long as you dare to play and sing this song, is definitely a master. ”
"Because I admire his guitar playing level, I also remember his appearance, well, that is, just like you, thin, very white skin, quite handsome."
After Zhou Xu finished speaking, he carefully examined my face again, as if he was still recognizing whether I was the same person as the guitarist of the underground band.
Everyone at the table was looking at me, as if at that moment, everyone was identifying some masked killer. This made me very uncomfortable, and then I said, "Hehe, this, this is too coincidental, the so-called no coincidence is not a book." But I don't know how to play the guitar at all, so please don't look at me anymore, okay?"
Zhou Xu was embarrassed, and said: "Yes, yes, it's been two years, maybe I'm messing around." Here, let's toast to tonight's friendship. ”
Liu Lili hurriedly echoed: "Tonight, this Zhou Tianwang has drunk too much and said at least a hundred clever words, everyone toast to no coincidence!"
So everyone returned to a cheerful and warm smile, and they raised their glasses one after another, toasting to us as a "legendary book".
But who am I?
