"Wine" is indeed a good thing.
The atmosphere at the "Welcome Party", which was originally a bit silent, gradually became lively after everyone drank a few bottles of beer.
Many people began to clink glasses with others with their own wine bottles, and then introduced themselves.
In the days that follow, everyone will become comrades who die together.
"Qiao Jiajin." Qi Xia asked while eating peanuts, "Why do you have to go out?"
"I don't know either." Qiao Jiajin looked at the lively crowd in the distance and said slowly, "Repay a favor? Or take revenge? I don't know."
He took a sip of beer, his expression very dull.
Qiao Jiajin, who was usually playful and smiling, seemed to be a different person now.
"What about you, Han Yimo?" Qi Xia looked at Han Yimo again.
"I want to finish my novel." Han Yimo replied, "I only have one last chapter to end this story. Even if it means death, I want to finish the novel before I die."
"That's too absolute." Qi Xia shook his head, "Is the novel more important than your life?"
"That's not the case." Han Yimo smiled bitterly, "Who would really want to die? But the "earthquake" is coming, I will definitely die... But why didn't I just publish that chapter instead? Check it again..."
Qi Xia sighed helplessly after hearing this.
What Han Yimo said was not a "reason to go out", but more like a "wish before death".
At this time, a dark and thin girl and an uncle in a suit walked over side by side holding wine bottles.
Qi Xia remembered these two people.
They had attended Aunt Tong’s classes.
"Everyone, let's get to know each other." The thin black girl said with a smile, "Are you from the same room?"
"Yes." Ringo nodded, "Are you guys too?"
"Well, my name is Li Xiangling." The thin black girl stretched out her hand towards Ringo.
Ringo also stretched out his hand, and the two simply held it together.
At the moment of contact, Ringo discovered that the girl's palms had a lot of calluses.
"My name is Zhong Zhen." The man in the suit nodded to several people.
Qi Xia looked at the two of them with confusion, and then asked: "Are all your other teammates dead?"
"No." The girl named Li Xiangling shook her head, "Five of us survived, but the remaining three didn't want to come to the "Heaven Pass", so only my uncle and I came. "
"My name is Qiao Jiajin." Qiao Jiajin picked up his own bottle and touched Zhong Zhen's bottle, "Just call me Ah Jin."
"Okay brother."
The two started talking with Lin Biao, Qiao Jiajin, and Han Yimo.
It turns out their teammates are three criminals.
The three of them had been looking for daggers for self-defense since they arrived in the city. Zhong Zhen and Li Xiangling knew that they were not the same as each other. They wanted to act alone, but they met Zhang Shan who came to lobby.
After a short communication, the two decided to visit "Heaven's Mouth".
"All three are criminals?" Qi Xia frowned.
"Yeah... two of them were released after serving their sentences, and one was from prison..." Li Xiangling couldn't help showing a hint of fear, "It feels really scary."
Qi Xia naturally knew who the three people the other party was talking about were, but at this time he had another question.
If everyone who comes here comes to "atone for their sins," then do Amu, Baldhead, and Jinmao really regret their actions?
Just like Aunt Tong said, everyone who comes here is guilty, but Qi Xia has seen with her own eyes that many people have no regrets.
For Amu and the three of them, this is not a place where they can "atone" for their sins, but a place where they can be completely liberated.
Yunyao came over at this time and saw that Qi Xia had been eating peanuts, and couldn't help but have some questions.
"Qi Xia, why don't you drink?"
"Because I want to stay awake." Qi Xia said, "You guys drink."
"Why are you so tired?" Yun Yao sat next to Qi Xia and opened a bottle of wine for him. "We are already in a place where we are bound to die. Is there anything else we need to be careful about?"
Qi Xia felt that what Yunyao said was reasonable, but he had become accustomed to it over the years.
"Forget it, I'll eat peanuts."
After Qi finished speaking, he continued to peel the peanuts.
Yunyao felt that Qi Xia was very strange. The peanut shells in front of him were almost piled up into a mountain. How much does this person like eating peanuts?
"Hmph, forget it if you don't want to drink." Yunyao curled her lips and turned to see Lin Ju again, "Miss, what do you do?"
"I'm a psychological counselor." Ringo smiled and replied.
"Wow..." Yunyao happily clinked the wine bottle with her, "Our team used to have a professional psychological counselor."
"Team?" Ringo paused, "What are you?"
“We are a girl idol group called Qisimiao. She smiled and asked, "We have already debuted in 2027. Miss, do you know our group?" What year are you from? "
Hearing this sentence, Ringo showed a hint of embarrassment: "No, I haven't heard of it... My time is later..."
Qi Xia shook her head helplessly, feeling embarrassed for Yun Yao.
Ringo comes from 2068. When she was chasing stars, Yunyao was probably about to retire.
But Yunyao didn't seem to care, and started chatting endlessly with Lin Zhuo, ranging from daily life to philosophical thoughts. Fortunately, Lin Zhuo had something in his belly, so he could talk about any topic.
After a while, a person from "Tiantiankou" brought some batteries and handed them to Yunyao.
Upon seeing this, she turned around and left happily, came to an old radio, installed the battery, pressed the play button, then turned around and said to everyone present: "Everyone!! For today's "Welcome Party", we are recruiting I have invited a few teammates I have never met before. I like them very much, so I am in a very good mood and am ready to sing a song for everyone. "
After hearing this, everyone clapped enthusiastically.
Qiao Jiajin, Han Yimo, Zhong Zhen, Li Xiangling, and Doctor Zhao all came forward and found a seat with a good position and sat down.
As the old melody came out from the radio, Yunyao also sang along generously.
She looks sweet and has a good stage style. She doesn't look like an idol group, but like a professional singer.
The singing voice played on the radio was familiar to everyone, and many people present could sing it.
This performance slowly changed from Yunyao's solo to a chorus.
Among them, Qiao Jiajin sang the most energetically.
"Although the journey is long with you, I am not tired yet."
"Walking with you, one section after another."
"After crossing the peak, another peak appears."
"Push your goals further and keep your ideals always in front of you."
This is "Walking on the Road of Life" released by Teresa Teng in 1984. For some reason, it always feels very appropriate to put it here.
Looking at the people singing in the distance, Qi Xia was also infected by them, and seemed to have forgotten where he was for a moment.
It seems that only he and Ringo can't sing this song. The two of them are sitting in the corner, as if they are isolated from the world.
"Qi Xia." Ringo called, "I have something to tell you."
Qi Xia stopped peeling the peanuts for a moment, and then asked nonchalantly: "What did you say?"
"I am the "Ultimate One" wandering in the End, and my purpose is to clear out the entire "Heaven's Mouth". "
Ringo smiled happily and took a sip of beer while looking at the people in the distance.
"May laughter cover up the pain."
"It's okay to be sad or happy."
"New discoveries are made every day."
In the distance, everyone was still singing loudly, and there was a happy atmosphere.
