From bar band to entertainment circle

Chapter 442 Extra Story · Time has changed

Some people say that a person is old when he starts to feel nostalgic. I think I got old very early.It is the annual Ching Ming Festival again, and I started to visit the graves of my friends.

In this day and age, people don't pay so much attention to traditional ancestor worship.

Weeds are growing in front of the grave, which shows that their descendants have not been here for a long time. I don’t know if this is the progress of the times or the sorrow of the times. The grass is removed one by one.

I poured a cup of tea and a cup of wine in front of Sikong's grave.

The tea is Mingqian tea, and the wine is Moutai.

"Tiezi, I came to see you again, you know? I was really lonely after you left... I always think of the little things I spent with you in high school, if life could start over... ...I really miss the past!"

I poured a glass of wine and drank one myself.

"This is your favorite cigarette when you were alive. I didn't buy too much. I quit smoking as soon as possible over there. There is only one box, so I can save some smoking. I'm leaving... I have to go and see Qin Qing and Lin Yuan them."

The photos on the stele seem to be smiling at me, so real, yet so unreal.

I left, went to the tombs of Huang Bin and my cousin Lin Yuan, and finally went to the tomb of Qin Qing. She was buried two or three kilometers away from my home, not far away.

The above photo has long been eroded by rain, sunshine, wind and years, and only the epitaph remains.

I burned paper in front of the tombstone and said, "Qingqing, what do you say I should do, so that I feel meaningful in this world, and Su Mengyuan is gone, and I have no friends or relatives in this world anymore, what do you say? What should I do with my future life?...I'm afraid of being discovered by others...I'm hiding here and there...I'm hiding my name..."

Suddenly, the song "Dandelion's Promise" rang on my mobile phone.

Even after 90 or [-] years, whenever this song comes to my ears, I will always inexplicably think of the past that is about to be forgotten. The past memories will be engraved in my mind with the melody of the music. When I was there, my eyes were already filled with tears. Those previous promises no longer existed, and I was the only one left.

Time has shown us that the man who wrote this song is enshrined in music history!
"I'm in great pain. There seems to be no hope for life. Qingqing, if you hear it, can you entrust me with a dream?"

I feel a little bewildered, I'm the least superstitious of these things, and now I'm expecting them.

So in these years, I have no real friends, and the only place to talk to people is online, and I mingle with those young people.

We discuss all kinds of stuff online.

...

The next day, I set off for City W and went to Shen Yu's cemetery with a bouquet of flowers in my hand.

In the cemeteries of big cities, burning incense and paper is not allowed.

Looking at the tombstones one after another, they were densely packed, and there was light rain in the air. I didn't hold an umbrella, and walked to Brother Yu's tomb in the rain.

He died earlier than Su Mengyuan at the age of 91.

I put the flowers in front of the tombstone: "Brother Yu, I'm here again, you shouldn't think I'm bothering you! I didn't bring alcohol this time, so it's better to quit alcohol. It's harmful to others and yourself. Walking to our campus, do you know? Now our school is already one of the best universities in China, I really miss the days when our band was on campus together! You are so disloyal, why did you leave me behind... Tell me One thing you don't know, your grandson gave birth to a son, that is, your great-grandson, who looks a lot like you and is very promising. He took over your Shen Group at a young age. I think you will be gratified .Mengyuan is gone, did you meet there?"

Flowers bloom and fall, and reincarnation has no fruit.

Leaving only a beam of moonlight to illuminate my loneliness.

My body was slowly drenched by the Qingming rain, and I went back to the car to pick up another bouquet of tulips, which was Xia Qing's favorite flower before.

I whispered in front of her grave for a long time, looking at the photo on the tombstone, she was old and kind.

Memories flooded my mind, and I said again: "Xia Qing, if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have stayed in W City, then I don't think I would have met Lu Tianya, let alone experienced those extraordinary lives, and then turned into what I am today. In this way, things like the butterfly effect...it's really amazing...it seems that every step of life is arranged by invisible hands, but if it wasn't for you staying in W City, how could I have experienced such a wonderful experience in the first half of my life Life, so I really don't know whether to celebrate, or hope that all this can't happen, it's better to grow old in an ordinary way, but in that case I won't stand here today to visit your grave, I'm always contradictory... like I used to have the same feelings for you..."

The rain stopped.

The grass beside the tomb was covered with water droplets.

At this time, a young man in a black suit with an umbrella came towards me. I was surprised that he still held an umbrella after the rain stopped.

He stopped next to me, looked at me and asked straight to the point, "Do you know my great-grandmother?"

I was slightly surprised: "Great-grandmother?"

The boy nodded and took his umbrella away. It turned out that this young man in his early 20s was Xia Qing's great-grandson.

I said to him: "My great-grandfather and your great-grandmother are old friends. My grandfather often told me about my great-grandfather's past, so today I can be regarded as an old friend who came to visit him instead of my great-grandfather!"

At a critical moment, I had an idea and told a white lie.

"So that's how it is. I said that you look familiar. You really look like your great-grandfather." The boy suddenly realized that he must have seen a photo of Xia Qing and me, and then he reached out to shake my hand: "Hello! I It's called Xia Cheng, thank you for coming to visit my great-grandmother's grave... In our age, people pay less and less attention to tradition."

"You're welcome, my name is Yunnuo, these are what our descendants should do." I shook hands with Xia Cheng, but I was curious why he and Xia Qing had the surname Xia.

Yunnuo is the name I once thought of for my son.

The homonym of "promise" means that he must keep his promise to others in the future, and don't be like his father, who doesn't mean what he says.

Unfortunately I have no children.

Xia Cheng stepped forward and placed the flowers in his arms in front of Xia Qing's tomb.

"Great-grandmother, my father asked me to come back from abroad to pay homage to you. It may be the right time. Guess who I met today? The descendant of your old friend, he came to visit you instead of his elder! I often hear grandpa talking about... Those stories between you and your old friend! If you hadn't entered the showbiz, maybe he would have become my great-grandfather..."

Xia Cheng talked a lot, I didn't expect his grandfather to tell him so much about Xia Qing's past.

Some of them were related to me, but he didn't know that I was an old friend of his great-grandmother.

If he knew I was me, I think he'd be crazy.

I asked Xia Cheng: "May I take the liberty to ask you something?"

Xia Cheng smiled heartily: "You want to ask why my great-grandmother and I have last names, right?"

I nodded.

Xia Cheng frowned: "I heard from my grandfather that my great-grandmother and my great-grandfather divorced when they were 40 years old, and then my great-grandmother took my grandfather to live abroad..."

I didn't know until after he finished speaking that Xia Qing's husband cheated on her marriage because of drama.

During that time, I was traveling all over the world, and I didn't care about the entertainment industry at all, so I didn't pay attention to these laces at the time.

With hindsight, it's no wonder that she took the initiative to contact me after Qin Qing's death. I didn't understand at the time, thinking it was just to ask for warmth. Maybe she couldn't speak up. We are all at that age.

"Your great-grandmother didn't remarry later?"

"No, I have been living alone in Vancouver, and I returned to my roots after I died."

"Oh……"

"Yunnuo, if your great-grandfather walked with my great-grandmother, she must be very happy!"

"I do not know."

"At least there will be a complete home!"

……

Coming out of the cemetery, Xia Cheng said that he was going back to Vancouver tomorrow, meeting is fate, and he insisted on asking me to have a meal with him, saying that it was fate that had been cultivated for a hundred years.

I have an appointment.

He said that he wanted to go back to China to develop, and asked me what I was doing now and whether I was interested in starting a business with him.

I perfunctory him, waiting for your call.

Later I went to the cemeteries of Li Jian, Ying Qingyao, and Wang Chuchu, and I was no longer so lucky to meet their descendants.

I conceived a book called Gravekeeper.

It tells the story of a living man guarding the graves of those friends who died.

The last stop is the capital.

Visiting an old friend who used to help me a lot.

Her name was Lisa and she was 81 years old.

I felt sorry for her. I rejected her when I had the best chance to return to the entertainment circle. She called me a lot and even came to Qian County to look for me. But with a family, I don’t want to be involved in entertainment anymore. Circle this muddy water.

She finally had to give up.

Full of disappointment with me, I returned to the capital disappointed.

But she also succeeded later, and a first-line artist came out under her hands, and became popular all over the country. I am happy for her.

I said to the epitaph: "Lisa, I haven't seen you for a long time. I often think of the days when I was continuing the band. As a manager, you are both a father and a mother. You have worked hard! You are very righteous. I am the most difficult person. You not only took me in, but also provided me with assistance, but I still let you down! I didn’t listen to you and continued to develop in the entertainment circle. At that time, I was completely disappointed in that circle. I just lived my life in an ordinary way... ..."

Lisa this woman.

I have been ambiguous with her several times, but we both know that wiping a gun is easy to go off the rails. Fortunately, she and I are sensible in time.

Domestic grave sweeping is over.

I booked a plane ticket to Norway, and now the plane is very fast, it can arrive in five hours.

I bought Su Mengyuan's favorite dessert during his lifetime.

I stayed in front of Su Mengyuan's tomb all night.

I've said things that I can't finish my whole life...

……

In 2105, he was 110 years old.

I was chopping wood in the yard, and I accidentally knocked the ax away. I looked at the palm of my hand in surprise, which was emitting a dim purple light.

Concentrate, inhale, and the dim purple light gradually forms a ball of light.

I figured it out, this is Lu Tianya's low-profile version of the Purple Light Ball.

I wanted to imitate her and hit the ball of light, but no matter how much I tried to imitate the movements of the Six Meridians Excalibur or the Eighteen Palms of Subduing the Dragon, the ball of light couldn't get out.

When I tried to condense the light ball again, it suddenly disappeared.

I've tried several times, but it doesn't appear again.
