"Group V!"
Someone took the lead in shouting their band's name, so the shouting of everyone in the shelter became "V regiment".
Lu Yan was surrounded by the uproar.
Even Captain Spade couldn't help shouting at Lu Yan: "Awesome."
Lu Yan said: "Did you not come to dig you out, do you regret it now? It's a pity that our group already has a guitarist."
After Lu Yan finished speaking, he felt that the excitement was not enough, so he put his arms around Cannon's shoulder and said, "Did you see it?"
The spade captain who didn't snatch people back then: "..."
"Lu Yan," Captain Spade got up, "I advise you to be a man and stay on the front line so that we can meet again in the future."
The kangaroo stopped him: "Captain, calm down."
Captain Spades: "Kangaroo, don't stop me! I want to get back the dignity of my Spades band today."
Everyone laughed.
Lu Yan hadn't sung like this for a long time.
After the band disbanded, he was busy supporting himself. In the past two months, he did a lot of miscellaneous part-time jobs. Apart from spending time every day hanging his voice and practicing singing, this kind of serious singing is far from his life. Far.
Lu Yan looked over the pair of hands raised high in front of him, over the noisy air in the air-raid shelter, and met Xiao Heng's eyes.
Xiao Heng was standing at the outermost circle, leaning against the wall and looking at him seriously.
Today it is very windy outside, blowing in from time to time through the entrance of the cave.
Lu Yan felt that if the wind was stronger, he would fly up.
Li Zhen exhaled: "Cool!"
Da Pao, like Li Zhen, had no other feelings except that his whole body was comfortable.
After Li Zhen finished, he looked up and saw a bright yellow at the door of the air-raid shelter, which was as yellow as the hair of the new guitarist in their band. He tapped Lu Yan's shoulder from behind with a drum stick: "The guy in the yellow suit , I haven't seen him before, who is he?"
Lu Yan looked over and said "fuck", not knowing when he came: "Xu Ye?"
Li Zhen didn't hear clearly: "Who?"
Lu Yan: "Bass player!"
"He is the yellow T-shirt you said you were impressed by your charm and finally couldn't hold back your excitement to come to our band after so many days?" Li Zhen was startled, at a loss, "Then what should I do now?"
Lu Yan: "Go!"
It was hard to find this place, so Xu Ye went out half an hour early, walked half a circle around, and walked to the entrance of the cave just in time to see this ensemble. From beginning to end, not a second.
It was the first time for him to see the band perform.
In fact, it is not a complete "band", after all, there are only three people, and it is the first time for these three people to cooperate, and they don't get along well.
Xu Ye was speechless.
These few people just stood there.
But it seems to split the surrounding air, splitting a whole world.
A few days ago, Xu Ye didn't know what a "band" was until he heard their band's songs on the music software. He's been playing bass since junior high, not even because he likes it, but because he has nothing else to do.
He was no different from other students at that time, busy with making up lessons, studying, and taking exams.
Go through every day step by step.
In order to let him concentrate on the exam, the Internet, TV and any entertainment activities are banned at home. So he started secretly playing with the bass his brother had left behind.
Perhaps he himself didn't realize that what Bess brought to him was not simply "passing the time".
—Why didn’t you pass the exam this time? You look at so-and-so's child, and then you look at you.
— What movie did you watch with your classmates, and you finished your homework? Is it okay to finish writing? Did you preview? I don't know how to hold on tight, and I'm not allowed to go.
It has appeared countless times in the silent struggle against life.
Lu Yan had seriously studied several plans in the group before, but plan one hadn't been implemented yet, and he didn't even say the opening remarks. As soon as he walked in front of Xu Ye, Xu Ye asked, "Is your band still short of a bass player? "
Lu Yan was stunned for a moment: "No."
Xu Ye scratched his head embarrassingly and said, "I, I want to try."
... so smooth
Lu Yan was even more sure of his previous guess: This brother must have been conquered by him long ago!
"Did you go to the toilet that day?" Lu Yan hooked Xu Ye's shoulder and couldn't help asking, "You were attracted by my talent?"
Xu Ye: "... huh?"
Lu Yan sighed again, as if he was sighing for 'my damn charm that has nowhere to rest': "Otherwise, why would you listen to our band's songs."
"I also know that I'm a very talented person—"
Xu Ye had no idea what Lu Yan was talking about.
Xu Ye said, "Well, someone actually asked me to listen."
Lu Yan's talent overflowed halfway, and he couldn't continue to overflow.
"He blocked me in the toilet, changed my code in the computer room, and didn't show it to me after the change."
When Xu Ye mentioned the code, Lu Yan could already guess who 'that person' was.
Before Xu Ye finished speaking, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye, and paused: "That's the one—"
Lu Yan looked up and saw Xiao Heng who was answering the phone at the door of the air-raid shelter.
A few people changed the subject and continued chatting, Lu Yan retreated, and finally retreated to the wall.
Not long after, Li Zhen also retreated. He retreated to the side of Lu Yan, squatted down, took out a pack of cigarettes from the back of his buttocks, and said, "It's still these two young people who have something to talk about. Look, do they look like you when they get together? Double yolk eggs?"
Lu Yan said, "It's quite similar."
Li Zhen said again: "The person Xu Ye mentioned just now is your neighbor?"
"Um."
Li Zhen yelled at him with his elbow, and said with a smile, "You two have a good relationship, and you even help you attract people."
He was just stunned by Li Zhen.
Lu Yan felt that his whole body was shaking violently.
He lowered his head and buried his face in his hands, "fuck" in his heart.
Li Zhen didn't pay attention to Lu Yan's reaction, he took out a cigarette and asked, "One?"
Lu Yan just threw a lozenge into his mouth: "No more smoking."
"That's right," Li Zhen nodded and said, "You should smoke less."
Their positions were not far away, and they could just hear the chatter of the two new players.
Da Pao: "My name is Da Pao, and my real name is Dai Peng. I heard that you are from C University."
Xu Ye nodded.
Cannon: "I'm Big C..."
Xu Ye didn't expect to meet an alumnus from the same school, and he was pleasantly surprised: "Alumni?"
Cannon immediately said: "The Royal Conservatory of Des Price is nearby!"
Xu Ye: "..."
Cannon stretched out his hand: "Nice to meet you."
Li Zhenxin said that these are all magical conversations.
But as he listened, he couldn't help but think of the first time he met Lu Yan.
At that time, he temporarily took over a shopping mall's anniversary event, and the official said that he also found another singer, so that they could cooperate well when the time came.
Li Zhen had done all the preparations at that time, but the singer didn't come for a long time.
Ask the staff, the staff said: "Just called him and he said he was lost."
Li Zhen: "... lost? Is this still a road idiot?"
The staff was also anxious: "Oh, wait a little longer."
It was Li Zhen's most tormented performance, and he was sitting on pins and needles.
Ten seconds before the show starts.
The staff held up a sign under the stage, and there were six large characters written on that sign: You sing this song.
Li Zhen's whole body collapsed: What are you talking about, I am a drummer, I am a drummer, do you know what a drummer means, have you considered the drummer's feelings when you want a drummer to sing, I sing out of tune, I can't - I really I can't sing!
The thought of singing 'Good Luck' to the mall while beating the drums made him want to jump off the stage.
However, within ten seconds, Li Zhengang rang the first sound—a figure flipped from the audience onto the stage neatly.
"I really did," Li Zhen recalled, exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "I really wanted to tear you apart, but I also felt that you were a miracle, and your appearance was too dazzling."
Lu Yan said: "I remember. Before I went on stage, I was still thinking about what happened to this drummer, and why he had such a deadly expression on his face."
"How can I fucking not want to die!" Li Zhen said, "If you were a few seconds later that day, I would really die on stage! End my drummer career!"
After Li Zhen finished speaking, he took a long time to say, "Our band is finally complete. To be honest, if you weren't so persistent, I probably wouldn't be able to make it this far."
He never revealed to Lu Yan that he wanted to give up.
But it is undeniable that the idea occasionally pops up.
After Li Zhen smoked that cigarette, his words were too emotional, and he felt embarrassed. He got up and patted the ash on his trousers: "Well, I'll go and arrange the rehearsal with them."
Xiao Heng went out to answer the client's call, and when he went in again, he saw Lu Yan squatting by the wall alone in a daze.
"Why are you squatting here alone?" Xiao Heng walked over, "Didn't you get there?"
"Fart," Lu Yan said, "I took it down without saying a word."
Lu Yan's mood is still not calmed down, his heart is beating wildly, and even his blood can't help but heat up - the band Vent can still move forward.
They can still go on.
Then come out with an album.
Then the show.
then…
The lyrics of the song he sang just now came to Lu Yan's mind: the days of starting again.
That's it for today.
But just because of this? Thinking of this, Lu Yan came up with another sentence: "You two have a good relationship, and you even help you attract people."
"Xu Ye said," Lu Yan came back to his senses, and asked while biting the lozenge, "You went looking for him?"
Xiao Heng was not surprised that Lu Yan would know about this.
"Damn you."
Lu Yan added: "I was talking about my charisma for a long time, but you didn't say anything."
Xiao Heng said: "It seems you are too devoted."
"..."
Lu Yan decided to skip this topic, and turned to find Xiao Heng looking at the graffiti on the walls of the air-raid shelter.
Air-raid Shelter No. 3 on Feiyue Road has formed a unique "band culture" in the downtown area since the late 1990s. Many bands rehearse here. Gradually, this place is like an exclusive secret base for them.
The messy graffiti on the walls in the air-raid shelter, if you distinguish carefully, there may be marks left by a certain band in the 1990s on these stone bricks.
Lu Yan stood up and explained: "In the past, those bands always liked to engrave something on the wall. What kind of old man, rock and roll never dies..."
Xiao Heng asked: "You also wrote it?"
"Ours is not here." Thinking of this, Lu Yan touched his nose, "Do you want to see it?"
Lu Yan took him two steps inside: "At that time, we had just formed a group, and the writing was pretty good."
As Lu Yan spoke, he stopped in front of one of the walls.
This time without Lu Yan's finger, Xiao Heng saw the four English letters VENT on the wall at a glance. In addition to the team name and members, there was a sentence at the bottom: Go up, until the beam of light rushes from the ground to the ground.
"It's all very middle school." As a person who has no bottom line, Lu Yan still feels a little ashamed when he sees this sentence again.
This stone brick wall is very long.
Rock youths engrave their wishes and traces of their existence on these walls in their own way.
Xiao Heng looked at the word "Lu Yan".
These two characters were so scribbled that they flew up. It can be seen from the gestures that Lu Yan was really full of passion and fighting spirit at that time. Let alone rushing out, the characters started to fly first.
In order to alleviate the sense of shame, Lu Yan picked up a stone from the ground and stuffed it into Xiao Heng's hand: "It's all here, you write one too?"
"Write what?"
"Anything will do."
Xiao Heng wanted to say that he had nothing to write, but Lu Yan had already grabbed his hand and pressed the sharp end against the wall.
The temperature in the air-raid shelter was lower than outside, and Lu Yan's hands were a little cold. His slender fingers covered his hands, leading him to engrave the words "Xiao Heng" on the side of the flying "Lu Yan". Character.
It wasn't until Lu Yan wrote the last stroke that he realized what he had done.
He let go abruptly.
No one spoke for a while.
After a while, Lu Yan heard Xiao Heng say: "The wording is a bit ugly."
ugly
Lu Yan exploded: "If you think it's ugly, write it yourself!"
On the other side, Li Zhen discussed with them about summer rehearsals, and proposed to have a meal together, so they called them at the door of the air-raid shelter: "Let's go! Go to eat!"
"Hurry up, what are you two doing?"
Outside the air-raid shelter, the sun was shining warmly on the turf.
The clouds in the sky gradually moved, and light came out from the gaps in the trees, forming a strong light and shadow.
