On the way back, Wu Hou lost his soul and did not have any spirit, and his mood had never been so lost. Obviously he was walking on the way back, but he didn't listen to the steps, and strolled to the river inexplicably.

By the Qiantang River, there are few people, there are no people on the spacious avenue, and a young man who is as stunned as a chicken stands helplessly by the river, looking at the rolling river, his mind is blank.

There are traces left by the tide on the shore, the quicksand at the bottom of the river is stained on the cement platform, a truck passes on the bridge in the distance, the sound of the whistle is heard far away, and the sun shines comfortably in the middle of the afternoon, but it can't give the sad a little comfort.

Standing here in a daze, looking at the Qiantang River, before I knew it, it was about to get dark. Mai Wenxiang had already finished class and returned to her residence, she didn't find Wu Hou, she called, Wu Hou looked at it, and didn't answer.

Wu Hou is very chaotic now, not so much chaotic as confused.

In this era of the supremacy of the literati, what can he do without a diploma or academic qualification? Although he can still live, the labor force on which everyone depends is so cheap to put it into the working class today.

As night fell, the banks of the Qiantang River lit up, and neon lights of various colors were lit up. Wu Hou didn't have the slightest idea of going back, he didn't even know how to talk to Mai Wenxiang, saying that he had dropped out of school. How should my grandparents, who are far away from home, and my mother, who has great hopes for herself, face them? The reality of dropping out of school is difficult to speak.

Suddenly I really want to drink, I want to get drunk, I get drunk and unconscious, I don't think about anything, I don't care about anything. With this thought, Wu Hou left the riverside, took a taxi, and went to Wang Youzhi's bar.

It's dark, after a day's work, some people go home to rest, some people come out to forage, and the men and women who have been living the night all year round have gathered in the bar.

Wu Hou arrived at the door and called Wang Youzhi to ask him to pick him up, but he didn't say anything, in fact, he didn't have anything to do, he just wanted to drink until he got drunk.

Wang Youzhi, who had just opened the door for a short time, walked out in a hurry, and after seeing Wu Hou, he stepped forward and asked, "Boss Wu, what's wrong?"

Wu Hou didn't speak, and followed Wang Youzhi into the bar.

Wang Youzhi walked side by side with Wu Hou and asked him, "A few days ago, how could you say that you would leave, and you didn't even say hello, and then someone came to look for you, I thought it was a trouble." ”

Wu Hou knew that it was Gu Qinghui's driver, Lao Li, so he smiled and said, "If there is something temporary, I will leave first." ”

"Oh. Wang Youzhi didn't think much about it, and continued to ask: "Why is it just yourself and your friend today? By the way, what is your master doing now? I haven't seen him for a long time, and I haven't bought some mooncakes to visit him during the Mid-Autumn Festival, we are too busy to leave." ”

"He's busy, he's busy making money. Wu Hou replied.

Wang Youzhi smiled and said, "Well, it's good to make money, but in this society, it's impossible to have no money." Wang Youzhi took Wu Hou to a small table and asked him to sit here, he was alone, it was too wasteful for him to sit in the booth.

Wu Hou sat down and told Wang Youzhi: "Give me some wine, I want spirits, I want a good one, I have a lot of money." ”

Wang Youzhi replied with a smile, "Look at what you said, what are we doing with money, you let go of the drink, take care of it, and don't charge money." ”

Wang Youzhi raised his hand and beckoned a waiter and asked him to get a dozen wines, and the waiter delivered it after a while. There were not too many people at this meeting, and they were not very busy, so Wang Youzhi sat down and drank wine with Wu Hou.

The two drank a few glasses in a row, Wu Hou was silent, Wang Youzhi looked at the sullen Wu Hou, and couldn't help asking, "How do you feel that you have something on your mind?"

Wu Hou lit a cigarette, took a puff and said, "I'm not going to school anymore." ”

"Not going to school anymore?" Wang Youzhi repeated, looking at Wu Hou who nodded again.

"You said you won't go to college?" asked Wang Youzhi with some surprise.

"Well, no, it's not interesting. Wu Hou didn't say that he was persuaded to quit, he couldn't say it, although he knew that he didn't blame himself for this, but it was still difficult to say.

Wang Youzhi asked in wonder, "This is good, why don't you go to school? This is a university, unlike junior high school and high school, if you drop out of college, then you will want to go to it in the future." ”

Wu Hou said lightly, "I know." ”

It seemed that Wu Hou didn't seem to care, Wang Youzhi sighed and said, "Alas, if you don't go up, you won't go to school, anyway, I'm very tired from school, and I just feel very tired at that time, so I don't go to school." What are you going to do when you're not going to school?"

Yes, what are you going to do when you don't go to school? Wu Hou couldn't help but ask himself in his heart.

"I don't know, let's take it slow and play for a few days. ”

Wang Youzhi snorted, "It's okay." ”

The bar is getting more and more crowded, and the atmosphere is becoming more and more lively, with everything from drinking to dancing. Wang Youzhi saw that there were many people, so he got up and went to get busy, leaving Wu Hou to drink here alone.

The DJ danced on stage, the dance music was loud, and the combination of stimulating music and alcohol induced the wild side of the young man's heart.

Looking at the young men and women swaying on the dance floor, they unleash their youthful energy to the fullest. These are some young men and girls in their twenties, most of whom take advantage of this time in the evening to release the pressure of life and work. It is strange that human beings are born with the instinct to shake their limbs rhythmically with the melody.

It's true that dancing makes people happy.

The bartender at the bar, under the advice of Wang Youzhi, mixed a glass of wine for Wu Hou and asked the waiter to bring it over. The wine is pale red, mainly Western, mixed with local spirits, with some fruit crumbs, and finally a little bit with a lighter, when it is sent to the table of Wu Hou, the surface of the wine is still burning with a light blue flame.

This is a very strong drink, and people who often drink in the bar know that this wine has a name, it is not drunk. said that it was not drunk, but in fact, most of the people who drank this glass of wine ended up drunk and messy.

Wu Hou picked up the light blue flame and was not afraid of burning his mouth, so he raised his head and drank it all. It is not drunk and sweet, only a faint taste of wine, because the crumbs of fruit that settle at the bottom of the glass cover the wine, so that it is easier to swallow.

Late-night wine is the easiest to get intoxicated, and Wu Hou gradually got a little up, especially after drinking his stomach without getting drunk, he felt even more dizzy. The people who were drinking and dancing in the same bar were also drunk and getting more and more high.

The DJ switched to a song on stage and picked up the microphone and shouted, "Sing along!"

A melody sounded, and the crowd on the dance floor was excited, and it seemed that everyone was familiar with the song. It's an old song adapted into a DJ version with a more resonant rhythm, but the melody hasn't changed.

After listening to the prelude of the uncontrollable nodding, everyone on the dance floor tacitly made the same movements and danced together. Then, the voices sang, and the people dancing in the audience also sang along.

"Never complain, the mistake of fate, not afraid of how bumpy the journey is, go to the place in the dream, I don't regret the mistake, life is original, there are many troubles, how about one more time...."

The song is called "People on the Journey", which is the theme song of a TV series twenty years ago.

The chorus of the crowd infected Wu Hou, but the sentence "Go to the place in my dream" sung in the song made Wu Hou can't help but ask himself in his heart, what is the place in my dream?

The place in Wu Hou's dream is not clear, probably after graduation, he will have a decent job, so that Guo Sunhua, who has worked hard for half his life, can live a good life, no longer have to get up early and go to work in the dark, and he can stay with his grandparents and take care of their old age. But the sudden change made Wu Hou, who was already unclear in his goal, even more confused at the moment.

A familiar figure flashed, and a man appeared in front of Wu Hou, looking at him with a smile.

"Wang Youfu?" Wu Hou looked at the man in front of him drunkenly.

The person who came was Wang Youfu, he laughed and said: "Long time no see, Wu Hou, I knew you were here, I called the second brother and the third brother, let's drink together." ”

Wu Hou smiled drunkenly, handed over the cigarette case, and asked Wang Youfu to smoke.

Wang Youfu didn't answer, looked at the energetic little girls on the dance floor, pulled Wu Hou and said, "Go, dance!"

"No..."Before Wu Hou finished speaking, he was pulled over by Wang Youfu.

Pulling Wu Hou onto the dance floor, Wang Youfu shouted, "Little sisters, this is my boss, haha, come and teach him how to dance." ”

Everyone is obviously a regular visitor, Wang Youfu is very familiar with everyone, and a few girls in their twenties and fifteen or five gradually leaned over and twisted their bodies around Wu Hou.

The girls pulled Wu Hou to dance while dancing, teaching him how to walk along with the music and how to shake his body rhythmically. Wang Youzhi and Wu Hou stood side by side, and several girls accompanied them, looking very lively.

But Wu Hou is not happy, but a little jerky, this is his first time dancing, and he is completely idiot.

A girl saw Wu Hou's jerkiness, stepped forward carefully, and taught Wu Hou by hand, she disliked Wu Hou's ass twist was not sexy enough, and used her hand to hold Wu Hou's waist to help him find an angle. Wu Hou couldn't help but slander in his heart, a big man, why do you have to twist your ass when you dance.

But the atmosphere of the scene was really good, the music was just right, coupled with the stimulation of alcohol, Wu Hou gradually became confused, immersed in the active atmosphere of the bar, followed Wang Youfu, and a few girls, and danced to their heart's content. When I was tired of dancing, I went to sit and rest for a while, drank and smoked, and played with a few girls to guess the treasure, and when I was full, I went to dance.

Wu Hou was infatuated with this feeling, followed Wang Youfu, looked at the young girls around him, they were dressed sexy, their bodies were full of temptation, and they were very enthusiastic to find Wu Hou to drink, chat with Wu Hou, and even tease him. Wu Hou felt that his chest was extremely hot, as if there was a fire burning, but the burning enthusiasm was full of passion.

I drank one glass after another, and I don't know how many toilets I went to, and I couldn't remember how many times I took a break while dancing one after another. It wasn't until the end of the second half of the night that the end of the show was unfinished, but they agreed to continue tomorrow night.

Wu Hou really drank too much, and after the girls left, Wang Youfu helped him to the toilet, and Wu Hou was lying on the side of the toilet and his stomach was about to vomit.

Wang Youfu looked at Wu Hou with a smile and said, "Haha, you are drunk, you see that you are drunk, look at me, I am not drunk..."

The two slapped each other on the back, and their mouths kept spitting out the filth mixed with food, and it took them a few minutes to stop. After vomiting, as if unconscious, the two of them fell down in unison, leaned against the wall of the toilet, and fell into a deep sleep.

In the end, Wang Youzhi, who had packed everything up, found them, and he was strong enough to carry one on one shoulder, took the two to his residence, and threw them on the bed to sleep.

For many days after that, Wu Hou did not leave Wang Youzhi's place, he drank and danced in the bar at night, was happy with the girls, and slept at Wang Youzhi's house during the day. Wang Youzhi's wife Lan Lan is very enthusiastic, and Wu Hou has no dissatisfaction with living here, but takes good care of her.

Several times Wang Youfu called Wang Youcai and Wang Quanquan over, and several people drank drunk together, and the drunk Wang Quanquan mysteriously showed Wu Hou something, which was powdered and packed in a small bag. Wang had the right to pour the powder on the table, gave Wu Hou a straw, and motioned for Wu Hou to suck it, and Wu Hou, who had drunk too much, picked up the straw in a daze, and went down to suck it.
