On summer nights, Chang'an Alley is always lively. There are no rich people here. No matter what status they are, most people do not live in this place because they pursue glory and wealth. The small courtyards, brick walls and ivy and the people in the city have long been The invisible fireflies are another pursuit of life.
A bamboo bed, a cattail leaf fan, people sitting or leaning on them, in groups, a fluorescent lamp, a handful of mosquito coils, a pair of cards, a mahjong table, dotted with the laughter of adults and the sounds of children chasing and playing. , who wants to care about the hustle and bustle outside.
There are not many old people left. Although the remaining young faces come and go, there are always new stories and new people. Although there is only a wall between us and the bustling world, who dares to say that those high-rise buildings People in the background wouldn't be filled with envy when they take a quick glance while carrying instant noodles in and out of the cubicle.
I don’t know how many years the big sycamore tree has been growing, but unlike those French sycamore trees that lose their hair in season, this sycamore tree standing in the middle of Chang’an Lane is said to have been a treasure that once attracted a phoenix to stay.
Among the people playing cards were little old men in their fifties who were wearing vests and slippers. They didn't want to have any image, and they weren't monsters, but they knew everything here well and were used to it.
They know better than anyone else what things have been living here with them for many years. Many of them have even lived in the same yard with those abnormal creatures for a long time. If everyone does not understand each other, it will be unreasonable. .
But that’s just how it is with people. As time went by, there was actually nothing to be surprised about. The relationship between neighbors was always good. As for whether the neighbor was a human or a ghost, it was not that important. Even now, the few humans in Chang'an Lane are asked to move out. I'm afraid they are really not used to it. After all, compared to other people, the so-called monsters are smarter, more open-minded, and more humane.
"Drink something?" The man at the door looked at the goose returning from work outside and shouted: "Authentic roast goose."
"Fuck your grandma's old shit."
Although he was scolded, the old man didn't care at all. He just laughed loudly, then picked up a goose leg and ate it. The offended white goose was not angry at all, but just scolded the old guy a few times angrily. Then he pushed his bicycle back home.
If there is a flaw in Chang'an Alley, it's probably that the lifespan of humans and non-humans is too different. Just like the old man and the white goose just now, they are almost the same age and the old man's days are almost over, but Dabai The goose is still just a young man.
Therefore, the joys and sorrows in Chang'an Lane will not be less than any other place. Love, friendship, and family affection have been shown alternately in the past time.
Many times, only by going deep into a group can we see clearly and understand why there used to be so many taboos between humans and demons, because humans are really too short-lived, but demons are too long-lasting, and the relationship often only increases loneliness.
"Why do I always see you sitting here drinking alone lately?"
"Lao Zhang is gone, and there is no one to play chess with me anymore." The speaker was a young man who looked about 18 or 19 years old, but his eyes showed a sense of vicissitudes of life: "Lao Li is gone, and there are no people drinking. .”
After he finished speaking, he crossed his legs in a very old-fashioned way and hummed along with the ditty on the radio. It seemed strange and inconsistent, but it was a normal thing in Chang'an Lane.
"Don't form a bond." Someone sat under the big locust tree and sighed to the ignorant children around him: "Don't form a bond with anyone, it will make you sad."
After hearing his words, the white lady in a small suit cried until she burst into tears.
She sat under the shade of the tree, with Brother Zombie sitting next to her. When she heard the people around her chatting, her heart, which was already broken into powder, was hit hard again.
Monster, nine out of ten are the objects of long-lasting love. Hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands of years of attachment have all turned into countless hardships after he left. Some people are lucky enough to stay with their loved ones until the next life of their best friend. But is the old friend who has no memory for a long time still the same person?
The evening breeze blew by, and her hair fluttered with it. The white lady raised her head and took a deep breath, then stretched out her hand to wipe away the tears on her face: "I want to give up."
Brother Zombie didn't answer. He just picked up the beer at hand and took a sip. He looked up at the stars in the sky and said, "I miss my mother."
After a long time, the white lady, whose mood gradually stabilized, jumped down from the steps: "I want to live here too! I like it here."
Brother Zombie still didn't answer, he just smiled and said nothing more.
At this time, a man on a bicycle slowly came to the door of the milk tea shop. He stood at the foot of the steps and looked up for a few times, then opened the door and walked in.
Today is Wednesday. The main dish of the milk tea shop is rice wine razor clams. Pi Ye is eating chicken and sizzling razor clams there. Now that she is rich, she can eat whatever she wants. She has to order one of the main dishes every day, who cares? Mom can eat it whether she likes it or not. If she doesn’t like it, she can give it to others, as long as it makes her spend money.
The sound at the door attracted Pi Ye's attention. She turned her head and took a look, then moved to the side and continued eating.
The person who came was none other than Teacher Lin. With a lost smile on his face, he walked to the counter and returned the key to Brother Zhang.
Brother Zhang didn't ask anything, he just accepted the key. Teacher Lin also tacitly agreed not to ask anything, just turned around and walked out, but then Brother Zhang spoke up: "There is new rice wine that arrived today. Daughter is red.”
After hearing this, Teacher Lin paused, turned around and sat back. He seemed a little tired, but he was unwilling to say anything more. This is probably understandable, as no one has ever mentioned the pain.
A jar of good daughter's red wine, a bowl of rice wine razor clams, tons and tons of them eaten, and I went back to sleep again and all the miraculous medicines worked.
"This is delicious." Master Pi didn't have any empathy. After she finished eating, she even drank all the razor clam soup in the bowl, and then said with a swipe of her mouth, "One more!"
Brother Zhang hummed, lowered his head and started to deal with it. While Master Pi was waiting with his chin propped up, he suddenly said, "You know what Zhang Yao is doing during this time, right?"
"What?"
"She said she wanted to develop a multi-angle three-dimensional mobile device, hahahaha... She hit the wall on the first day after the development was successful, and she is still in the hospital."
"Is she okay?" Brother Zhang raised his head and asked, "Is it serious?"
"It's not serious at all. She even broke three fingers on her toe, but she didn't even let me tell you. It was too embarrassing." Mr. Pi laughed so hard: "That three-dimensional maneuver... Hahahaha, that's so interesting."
Pi Ye is famous for being brainless. She has no idea what Zhang Yao can do with that thing developed by Zhang Yao, but Brother Zhang does know, because although the reaction limit of human beings is similar to that of monsters, the problem is that most monsters are either Those who can fly or are particularly good at jumping, like Huniu, although she can't fly, she can jump hundreds of kilometers in one big jump, which is almost as good as flying. But humans obviously can't do this, so Zhang Yao must want to develop a device that allows humans to easily perform three-dimensional maneuvers in short distances.
I just didn't expect... He died before he left the army, and his toe was broken. However, Brother Zhang feels that Zhang Yao will definitely succeed, not because of the friendship between friends, but precisely because of Zhang Yao's aggressive attitude and very solid engineering and technical capabilities, which she will definitely be able to develop. I just hope that she will succeed. Don't take too many detours, because you will really get killed...
The night was getting deeper and deeper. Teacher Lin was so drunk that he lay down on the counter and fell asleep. Brother Zhang just put him on the sofa before closing the stall and did not disturb the heartbroken man too much. At this time, he needed it most. It's just a good dream.
"This person must have lost his love."
Xu Wei, who helped clean up, asked Brother Zhang curiously while wiping her hands with her apron: "It's so miserable."
Brother Zhang chuckled and said, "It might be worse than falling out of love."
Early in the morning arrived quietly, Brother Zhang picked up a blanket and covered Teacher Lin, then turned off the lights and closed the stall.
After returning to the room, Brother Zhang opened the computer and started to collect emails, but all the resumes he submitted seemed to have disappeared. Ever since Zhu Zhenzhen's company was transferred, he has never found a decent job again.
Although it doesn't make much sense for him to go to work, he still really likes to go to work, or it can be said that he likes to interact with people more and more and likes to listen to others tell their stories.
After sitting there and checking no new emails for a long time, he took out his phone and looked around. Although there were many, many people on his phone, most of the time it was impossible for those people to send him messages because they didn't dare. But what was new today was that his former colleague, the one who was bewitched by Xiao Xiao, left him a message.
The general content is to ask about his recent situation, and then ask him if he has found a job, and then also talk about her own situation, that is, she has been fired by the new boss and is now looking for a job. If Brother Zhang If you have time, you can go find a job with her.
After half a year, Xiaoxiao was the first person to take the initiative to ask Brother Zhang how he was doing. The girl who asked Brother Zhang to fine him 200 yuan was quite cute, so Brother Zhang responded to her, and he replied very politely. Seriously, without the slightest hint of perfunctoryness. The full text is as follows:
"Hello, Xiaoxiao, everything is fine for me recently. I went to Hong Kong and Macau to relax some time ago. I have also looked for jobs recently, but they all came to nothing. Maybe it's because my conditions are not very good and my education level is relatively low. , but I should be filming a movie in a while. If you are interested, I can recommend to my friends that you also try out."
In this day and age, it is a rare breed to be able to recover another person's information so seriously and not perfunctorily. Anyway, Xiao Zhang doesn't know what others think, but he still cherishes other people's concern.
The main reason is probably that he seems to have never been cared about by anyone since he was a child. Although he has never said it, he actually still longs for a real human relationship that has nothing to do with his identity.
He didn't sleep at night. It didn't mean anything to him whether he slept or not. In addition, now that he has a holiday every year, Xu Wei is gradually able to be her own man. Brother Zhang is more willing to use the saved time to play games. Or read a book.
As soon as the scorching sun rose in the morning, Brother Zhang's cell phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was Xiaoxiao who had sent him a message. It probably meant that he could go and give it a try. Then he asked Brother Zhang what he wanted. Prepare something.
Brother Zhang didn't know, so he asked, and then he sent a message to Wugenshui. Wugenshui is the producer of the new movie and the biggest financial backer. I heard that Lord Shengzhu wanted to When he brought a friend into the group, he didn't even frown. However, with a professional attitude, he still told Brother Zhang that if he didn't have relevant experience, it would be best to go to the surrounding crews first. The extras adapt to the feeling and state of being in front of the camera.
This is not to let Xiao Zhang go, but to let Xiao Xiao get used to it. But Xiao Zhang was a little mistaken, but he agreed without asking, and then truthfully told Wu Genshui what he said. He asked Xiaoxiao, and finally added: "I also want to go with you to get used to it in advance and play a small role first."
The little one readily agreed: "Then let's do it. You can tell us where to meet."
After the two happily made a reservation to meet outside the nearby film and television city, Xiao Zhang rode his little electric donkey there. When they arrived, they found that Xiao Xiao had already arrived and was holding breakfast there and eating enthusiastically.
"You came so quickly."
"My new rented place is over there." Xiaoxiao pointed slyly at an apartment building not far away: "Hehe... I didn't expect it."
Brother Zhang actually smiled, then looked up at the film and television base in front of him and couldn't help but sigh: "I heard that tens of thousands of Japanese die here every day."
"No, they make a lot of noise every day when filming. Otherwise, why would you think such a nice house only costs 800 yuan a month? It's just too noisy." Xiaoxiao pointed to the apartment building and said, "Every night there are explosions. Wake up.”
"Then you won't complain."
"You are poor. Once you are poor, you have no choice. If I didn't live here, I would have to sleep in a cement pipe."
Although I have not known Xiaoxiao for a long time, this girl is actually very interesting. She has now removed the bugs and looks much healthier than before. After getting rid of the trouble of constantly eating, she Now she is much more confident and sunny, and she is very lively overall. Although her life is still quite embarrassing, it can be seen that her mood does not seem to be affected much.
Brother Zhang locked the electric car outside, and then walked into the movie city with Xiaoxiao. This place is very big and divided into many areas, such as modern dramas, Republic of China dramas, Qing Dynasty dramas, costume dramas, spy films, etc. You can find corresponding scenery inside, which is quite new for a newbie.
"Why are we acting as extras?" Xiaoxiao also cast a dark eye on this aspect: "Did your friend tell you who to look for?"
Brother Zhang held a fried dough stick in his hand and looked at the people around him who were working one after another with confusion on his face. Then he sent a message to Wugenshui, and Wugenshui told him directly to ask Brother Zhang to put the little dough stick in his hand. Give him vx, and Brother Zhang won't have to worry about the rest.
Sure enough, after Brother Zhang sent Xiaoxiao's WeChat account to Wugenshui, within five minutes someone added Xiaoxiao with extremely polite words. Then after learning Xiaoxiao's location, a person added him not long after. The fat man ran over. As soon as he came over, he held his little hand and said very enthusiastically: "I've kept you waiting for a long time. Mr. Mei told me, I'm going to I’ll take you into the group.”
And Xiaoxiao looked back at Brother Zhang and said, "Where is he...he is my friend."
"This..." The man scratched his head, then looked around Brother Zhang up and down, and found that his appearance was not bad, so he simply stamped his foot: "Okay, come on, let's come together!"
