The five have been working together for a while, and they can understand each other's meaning in a few syllables. Ajin plucked the guitar in his hand, signaled everyone to get ready, paused, and then looked at the cat on the stool next to him.
Zheng Tan has already started to flick his tail impatiently. Don't you just sing a song? Shouldn't there be foreplay? Grinding and chirping.
To be on the safe side, their first song was not fast, and the rhythm was similar to what Fang Shaokang had sung. Of course, it was definitely not in the style of Fang Shaokang.
Zheng Tan tapped on the glass bottle for a while, it was not difficult for him to grasp the rhythm, and the onlookers were definitely more tolerant of cats than people, even if something went wrong, everyone would be considerate.
It's a cat after all.
After the song was sung, Ah Jin and the others were very happy. They thought that the sound of tapping on the glass would be abrupt, but they didn't expect that after the rhythm was set, the effect was exceptionally good, and they could try adding similar elements in the future.
Chao Zhengtan gave a thumbs up, and Ah Jin was going to change to a slightly faster song.
Zheng Tan was secretly proud, and the tip of his tail tickled unconsciously. Sure enough, we still have face. Looking at the crowd, and the little girl with big eyes, his hands turned red when he clapped.
Compared with when he cooperated with Fang Shaokang, Zheng Tan feels much better now, not related to those onlookers, but to the acceptance of music. He couldn't understand Fang Shaokang's feelings for old songs like "Walking the Square", but he could easily get involved in such rock-style pop songs.
After all, Zheng Tan's body is also the soul of a young man and the mind of a young man.
In the corner of the square, in the blurred lights, the music full of rhythm came out.
When the music starts, even though the bass player, who is a little dull on weekdays, still looks silent and calm, the syllables that are plucked are full of dynamism and rhythm.
When they were playing, Ah Jin and the others had forgotten that there was a cat squatting next to them, that they were performing with a cat at this time, but sang those rhythmic songs according to their previous habits. .
After a series of rapid syllables, when entering the chorus part, it is like a new green breaking out of the ground, swinging freely, sweeping away all shyness and restraint.
It is not only the rhythms and melody that infect people, but also the wantonness and passion that go into them. Hot blooded youth.
It's not just the song that makes people boil, but also the atmosphere, it provides people with a way and a way to release, just for the moment to vent, only this moment is good.
They are still young and may not be able to sing the mature emotion of the original singer, but they have taken a big step. Who can say that they will not shine in the future
If it was a play mentality at the beginning, then Zheng Tan at this moment has already gone deep into it. He knocked on the bottle with great enthusiasm, which was completely different from the lazy mentality when he cooperated with Fang Shaokang at first. Young people are always easily affected by the atmosphere and do not know what they have done, even if they are just a cat now.
The owner of the musical instrument store who was sitting not far away watching praised, "Your cat knocks the bottle well! It's the first time I've seen a cat knock a bottle like this, like scrambled eggs."
Fang Shaokang: "... Haha." It was the first time I saw it.
More and more people gathered around. At the beginning, most of them were people who came to see the cat knocking on the bottle, such as parents with children and aunts who finished dancing. Gradually, a group of young people gathered here. People like to watch the fun and join in the fun. Seeing that there are many people here, everyone will come here. Then, they will be affected by the atmosphere. Some sing along, some beat the beat, and cheer. For young people, they are all familiar songs and easy to catch.
Fang Shaokang took out the camera from his backpack and started taking pictures.
"Hey, isn't this a DSLR? You have money to buy a DSLR and come here to perform?! Now all the performers are so rich?" asked a person who had watched Fang Shaokang sing.
"Where," Fang Shaokang calmly raised his finger and pointed in one direction, "I borrowed it from a student from a photography club over there, and I have to give it back to others later."
The man looked in the direction Fang Shaokang was pointing to. They were all people, and he couldn't tell which one he was referring to, but there were indeed photography clubs and the like here, and people would come here to hold a photo exhibition for students every once in a while. Shaking his head, the man said nothing.
Zheng Tan changed his left hand when he was tired from knocking with his right hand, and then changed it back after a while. He had a great time, and when he was knocking on the bottle, he would look at the cardboard box from time to time, and saw that people kept stuffing the cardboard box. Qian, Zheng Tan was even happier.
They didn't leave until after ten o'clock in the evening, when there were fewer people in the square.
Zheng Tan threw the iron spoon and rushed to the cardboard box to take a look. The light was not good, so he couldn't see how much money was inside, but it should be enough for the fare of the car and hotel accommodation.
When Ah Jin was packing his things after the show, his mood still hadn't calmed down. "For a moment just now, I felt like a star. So many people cheered and cheered, just like the dream I had at the beginning."
"Yeah yeah, that feels so good!"
Several others also chimed in.
The owner of the musical instrument store walked over to chat with them. These boys will be heading north tomorrow. He encouraged and beat these young boys now, so as to save the difficulty of getting out when he encounters a lower valley in the future. have to grind.
Fang Shaokang did not immediately clear the money in the box. After the show, he sealed the box, helped a few boys pack up the equipment, carried it to the musical instrument store, and settled the money in the store.
"Three thousand six?!"
The five Ajin were stunned. If they usually sing in the square, it is basically tens of dollars an hour. In the past, it was less when they were alone, so they usually just regarded singing in the square as an experience, a kind of tempering for themselves. How much money is there in it. However, the numbers calculated now make them unbelievable.
They are neither from a serious professional background nor have any fame. Everyone is just a fledgling rookie. After experiencing street performances, the money is really a lot for them.
Fang Shaokang took one thousand eighteen, and handed the rest to Ah Jin, "Well, we agreed to give half points."
"This... Mr. Fang, you also put your money in it, you should get more." Ajin said.
Even if they knew that they made more money this time, they also understood that without the black cat, they would not be able to successfully gather the attention of so many people in the square.
"That's it, let's go!" Without explaining much, he shoved the money into the bag, and Fang Shaokang carried the bag and walked out.
Zheng Tan quickly followed. He had no objection to Fang Shaokang's assignment. Fang Shaokang was not a poor man anyway, and 1800 yuan was enough to stay in a hotel by car. He didn't need a five-star hotel, it was better than the previous small hotels.
"Thank you, Brother Cat!" Ah Jin raised his hand and shouted.
Zheng Tan flicked his tail without turning his head.
They still have things in the small hotel, and they wanted to check out, but the landlord said that they should leave before 12:00 noon.
In order to leave this small hotel early, Zheng Tan poked Fang Shaokang in his backpack, hoping that this guy can simply check out, anyway, he will make money from singing tonight.
In the end, Fang Shaokang didn't pay a dime, but just put the second-hand mountain bike out. Anyway, the bike wasn't going to be ridden any more, so he let it play the last remaining heat.
After leaving the small hotel, one person and one cat went to the nearest four-star hotel. I was too tired today. In order to get there quickly, Fang Shaokang was going to take a shortcut. There is a small road there, no need to detour.
There were street lights by the roadside, but it was too late and there was no one at this time. As he was walking, Zheng Tan's ears moved. Looking out from the zipper of his backpack, there were two sneaky figures behind him.
Is it a robbery
Whether it is or not, it doesn't look like a good person to look at that behavior. Zheng Tan poked Fang Shaokang.
"I know." Fang Shaokang whispered.
Since Fang Shaokang said he knew, Zheng Tan stopped reminding him, but focused his attention on the two people behind.
After confirming that there were only two people, Zheng Tan breathed a sigh of relief. If there were only two people, it would be fine.
The two got closer and closer, and they were holding a steel pipe in their hands.
It's not a good thing to look at!
When one of them came up, Zheng Tan jumped out of his schoolbag and gave the man a slap in the face. With his own flexibility, he avoided the stick that the man was waving, and jumped up and attacked the man. He kicked both feet hard, this time with real strength, and both kicked the man to the next plate.
Paralyzed, he actually wanted to rob Lao Tzu of the hard-earned money he had earned from his cheeky performances? !
Do you want to die or don't want to live!
One more kick!
Zheng Tan thought that he wouldn't be able to stay here for long anyway, there was no need to hide and tuck him, and he would leave tomorrow, even if these people wanted to seek revenge for him, they couldn't find it.
When Fang Shaokang knocked out another person with a stick, he turned around and saw the cat kicking his crotch, and the kicked person screamed like he was castrated, and the steel pipe in his hand fell to the ground long ago. .
After being kicked, the man lay on the ground and wailed. Zheng Tan ignored him and looked at Fang Shaokang. She was holding a stick in her hand and seemed to be well prepared.
"Let's go, leave them alone, they're just rascals." Fang Shaokang put away the stick and said.
Zheng Tan tugged at his ears, jumped into Fang Shaokang's backpack, and was about to reach the hotel. It is estimated that cats are not allowed to go in there, so it's better to hide.
Before leaving the path, Fang Shaokang's phone rang.
"Yo, second brother, why are you calling me at this time... I'm not sleeping, I'm looking for a hotel... I just ran into something and someone robbed me... Oh, I really didn't play hard this time, I just hit a stick. That's it, and, you don't know, when the person came out, he could be dragged and said, "Let's get out of here, leave the cat, and put the cash box next to it", hey, I'll be fucked, do you think this is a bad beating? The local security is not good, let your brother-in-law come to pay attention when the time comes, the children will not dare to go here..."
Zheng Tan: "..." Really Tamar is bullshitting.
After the call, Fang Shaokang patted his backpack, "Hei Tan, the fare will be saved tomorrow."
