My 26-year-old Female Tenant

In the endless night, I finally came to the Slender West Lake Yueyuan again. After waiting for about 10 minutes, Jian Wei arrived. She parked the car under a street lamp, but I didn't come immediately. Instead, he stood on a small bridge with an ancient style, leaned over to look at the moon falling in the lake, and then took out his mobile phone to take a picture of the unreal night scene in front of him.

  I stood up from the stone bench, came to her side, and asked, "Where's Xiaoyun?"

   "She is not in a good state of mind, I will send her to the hotel to rest first."

  I nodded and asked again: "Have you eaten?"

   "I ate in that county..." Jian Wei seemed to be a little immersed in the night scene here, so that she was a little absent-minded when answering my question, and kept looking at the landscape lights flickering in the center of the lake in the distance.

  I followed her to look at the landscape lights scattered in the center of the lake, and subconsciously played with the lighter in my hand, trying to relax myself and let the tired soul rest for a while in this world composed of water and light.

  A few minutes later, Jian Wei finally turned around and leaned against the guardrail of the stone bridge and said to me: "I have stayed in the United States for so many years, and there is no place in my memory that can compare with the night scene here!"

   "Really?... No matter how beautiful the lake is, there are still those foul-smelling silt and sedimented garbage under the lake."

   Jian Wei stared at me: "Can you stop saying such unsightly things?"

"I don't think it's a bad sight. The things I'm talking about already exist in this landscape, but you can't see it with your naked eyes. It's like you...you are so beautiful, but hold you You will still see a scar on your sleeve!"

Jian Wei looked calm, but turned her body around again so that I could only see her side face, and then asked me: "My friend in Suzhou has sent me the news, asking Xiaoyun for debt Those people are a vicious organization that gathers people to gamble illegally and make illegal profits for a long time... I am going to report the case to the police for handling.”

  I hurriedly said: "Don't report the crime now..."

"how?"

"I'm going to pay them back the debt first, and report the case to the police after a while, so that they won't link the report with Xiaoyun asking for money. Now even if you report the case, you can't There is no guarantee that this illegal organization will be wiped out, what if those leaky fish take revenge on Xiaoyun and her family?"

  Jian Wei looked at me silently for a long time, and said: "Why can you calmly consider other people's affairs, while you live in a blind state for a long time?"

   "Am I blind?"

   "Well, a lot of times."

In fact, I am not a person who is obsessed with myself, so I don't like to talk about myself with others, so I changed the subject and said to Jian Wei: "I don't have that much spare money now, the gambling money that Xiaoyun's father owes those people first Lend it to me, and I'll pay you back."

"There is no problem with this, but I want to know what you think. Xiaoyun told me that you and her only met a few times, why did you risk your life to help her that day, and now you have to help her repay the huge sum of money?" ?”

"Is this strange?...Don't the news often report some incidents where you lost your life in order to save others! You can completely equate my behavior with these, no need to ask the reason, no need Looking for meaning, because there is always a type of people who still believe that there will be a crystal clear city in the sky in this world, which is different from this lake dotted with night scenes, but the bottom of the water is full of silt and garbage.”

Jian Wei just smiled, then pinned the messy hair blown by the wind behind her ears, and said after a long time: "I really don't know if I will be able to see what the city in your heart looks like in my lifetime, maybe You're already drawing it for me now."

When he was about to say something, the phone rang. He thought it was Mi Cai who had replied to the message, so he quickly lowered his head and took it out of his pocket, but it was from Robben's assistant. The message said: Robben today's event The concert titled "Follow God's Will" was very successful, and the live video has been sent to my mailbox.

I remembered that I did talk to Robben’s assistant about this before, and because I couldn’t go to the venue, I asked her to help me send the video recorded on the spot to me. I am looking forward to this concert. More than 2 hours of video.

  After downloading, I asked Jian Wei, "Do you have headphones?"

   "It's in the car, what do you need headphones for?"

   "Just now Robben's assistant sent a video of the concert, I want to see it now."

  Jian Wei brought a red in-ear headphone from Monster, handed me one of the earplugs, and put on one herself. It seemed that she planned to listen to Robben's concert with me.

I turned on the video, and the first scene was the dazzling lights and the audience who had already entered the state of shouting, and then the camera switched to Robben, who was wearing a black motorcycle jacket and a white turban. The most dazzling thing was the black and white electric guitar in his hand.

Among the many musical instruments, I saw a guzheng, nodded and said: "Roben really put his heart into doing this concert. He always said that he would make reggae music with Chinese characteristics. I didn't expect that the first time in his life Played reggae at the first official concert..."

   "What is reggae music?"

"It's a form of music that emphasizes social, political, and humanistic care. It relies on instruments to carry the main melody and rhythm. It belongs to music in four-four beats... Uh, it's hard to explain, you will later You can see it at the scene.”

Jian Wei nodded. In the video, after Robben gave a brief opening speech, he began to sing the first song, but it was a relatively normal song written by himself, but the popularity of singing was relatively high... .

During the viewing process, Jian Wei asked me some questions about the origin of the music form and performance characteristics from time to time, and I answered them one by one. In fact, these questions were related to Robben’s live concert today. The concert was only held halfway through. He has used many different musical expressions to give the songs different souls, and he is definitely a talented soul singer.

After another song was sung, the sound of the live music faded away, and the follow-up lights from different angles focused on Robben. He took a sip of water, and then took off the scarf on his head. The hair that had been left for nearly a year It landed on his shoulders, he let out a breath, relieved his fatigue, and said in a deep voice: "... I once had a brother, and we made a piece together called "Ferocious The album of "God's Will", but it has not been released publicly. It has been nearly four years since this album was released, so "Ferocious Providence" has also evolved into today's concert called "Obey the Will of God".. .....I miss the time when we made music together...The following is one of the songs in this album, "Ferocious Reptiles".... .By the way, my brother went to work later, went to work in ***!...I am very sad!"

After Robben finished speaking, he picked up the cup and took a sip of water, but the scene was already boiling, because there was finally someone next to the useless guzheng, which means that this song will add the element of guzheng... ...and the most shocking thing was me! Just when I was about to forget about the album, Robben went so far as to re-arrange one of our favorite songs, probably in his own reggae style.

  My complex expression made Jian Wei see some clues, and asked me: "The brother Robben mentioned is you, right?"

  I lit a cigarette, took a deep puff, and then nodded. Robben’s words burned my emotions, as if I have been living under the crotch of life since I gave up music.

Robben began to perform this song: When the lyrics I wrote came out of his mouth and sang, my heart was shaking...I felt like I lost something, once and for four years.. ....

In the video, Robben was like a bard at first, lazy and comfortable. When he sang the line "Sink to the bottom of the water, I will die", he instantly turned into a violent singer, with long hair from his shoulders. It was thrown on the face, and the sound was torn into pieces....The dense drumbeats and the sound of the guzheng dominated all the instruments and rolled forward like a flood...This picture is too shocking !

  When a bard poet turned into a violent singer in the blink of an eye, not only the scene went crazy, but even Jian Wei and I who watched the recorded video afterwards were deeply shocked!

A more shocking scene happened. Robben, who was in a state of loss of control, held the upper end of the guitar with both hands and smashed the guitar to the ground. The band members covered their faces with their hands and dodged... Only the farthest player playing the guzheng continued!

The scene began to tear and shout, I turned off the video in the unbearable suffocation, and the fingertips holding the cigarette were trembling slightly... After a long time, Jian Wei beside me looked at me and asked Dao: "Don't they regard musical instruments as their lives when they make music? Does his behavior of smashing guitars disrespect music?"

I took another deep puff of cigarette and replied: "You don't understand, Robben is not a humanistic rock singer, what he expresses is not a warm confession, but a violent catharsis, which erupted after rational thinking Out of control, it is precisely the embodiment of the free spirit of rock and roll...He will be the new godfather of rock and roll, and this is not made by smashing guitars, because he will only smash this guitar in his life..."

   "Why, did you have any stories when you created this song?"

  I was silent for a long time and replied: "It's not a story, it's an agreement between us..."
