silver sea

Allen brings news of the findings.

The good thing is that after the end of the rotten apple period, Bai Yanhui did invite gunmen several times, but because they were all word of mouth and no clear evidence was obtained, their accusations lost their convincing statements.Alian felt a little guilty about this, Wen Youxia comforted her that it was much better than expected.

"Our idea now is to contact the camel first." Qiu Sheng said a name that was unfamiliar to A Lian, so he took the time to explain to her some of the process from the broken shell to the rotten apple and their speculation.

A-Lian made it clear: "So, you want to ask him if he knows?"

Qiu Sheng nodded: "How can I say that they were a band at the time, and why they changed their name to a completely different band after Anton's death, this is also something that is puzzling to me."

A Lian: "Understood, then I'll find out more about what the camel is doing now..."

"At Beicheng Drug Rehabilitation Center." Wen Youxia said, "I don't know if he has come out."

Not only A Lian, but Qiu Sheng was also taken aback: "It's been so many years..."

Wen Youxia frowned: "I'm also very worried about this matter. As far as I know, he came out and went in later. Now that he has lost contact for so long, what is his mental state and whether what he said is credible? Will Bai Yanhui do anything to him?" Articles are all unknowns."

The finally clear situation became gloomy again, Qiu Sheng opened his mouth, his eyes darkened for a moment.

He pinched the inside of his arm hard.

Pain keeps Qiu Sheng awake.

His eyes went dark for a few seconds and slowly recovered, Qiu Sheng said: "But you promised me, no matter what, we can't let go of every clue... In case he gets better, remember it?"

When he said this, he didn't know what to do. Qiu Sheng had seen Luo Tuo passing by in a daze, and even saw Wen Youxia and Bai Yanhui arguing and said with a smile, "What are you playing?"It was a portrayal of years of erosion, decay from mind to body, and it alerted him every moment.

Can the camel really get better after reaching that level?

Qiu Sheng tried to get rid of uncertainties from his mind as much as possible. He couldn't always imagine the worst situation, which would make him feel anxious and uncomfortable before things happened.

Wen Youxia looked very calm, as if he had all the plans in place, and he didn't express any uneasiness about various "uncertainties".

"Then..." Qiu Sheng cleared his throat, "Where should we find someone?"

Gu Qi listened silently for a long time, then interrupted the conversation: "Maybe you can ask Sixth Brother."

The last time I went to "Blueberry Night" was only a few days ago, and a farce on New Year's Eve did not dampen the enthusiasm of the sixth brother to reopen the business. When Qiu Sheng and Wen Youxia arrived at the side door of the livehouse, the sixth brother was carrying a case of wine inside. .

"It's really early enough, I thought you wouldn't come until the sun went down." Sixth Brother had both hands occupied, and kicked the poster board standing by the side door, "There are only a few college student bands tonight."

Qiu Sheng smiled: "We're not here to find newcomers, we have business to find you."

Brother Six asked them to go inside and chat.

From past audio-visual materials, I have more or less captured the appearance of "Blueberry Night" more than ten years ago, or even 20 years ago. Everything here is very familiar. The dance floor and various entertainment toys on the second floor have been around for decades.The unchanging furnishings made "Blueberry Night" a spiritual home for many homeless musicians and music fans. They stayed here day and night, as if they could escape reality.

There is a long corridor to go to the backstage lounge, and the shortcut is to cross the stage.

In the performance area, there were a few young students who looked like students who were tuning and walking the stage. When Qiu Sheng passed by, the one holding the bass looked up at him, and then raised the volume: "Yo! Yinshan!"

They all raised their heads because of this voice, and their expressions were either teasing or yearning.

"Wen Xia!" The young man who spoke out at the beginning spotted the target and jumped down from the stage, "Wen Xia, you are my idol! Take a photo with me and sign my autograph, okay?"

Wen Youxia had a severe typhoon, but he patiently took photos with his music fans in private.Several other people immediately asked for the same treatment, pulled Qiu Sheng to pose for a few poses, and let them go after they were satisfied with the shooting.

A young man wearing glasses took a bass and signed it for Wen Youxia: "My girlfriend used to really like your songs."

Qiu Sheng stood by and asked, "Don't you like it now?"

The young man laughed: "Now she likes my song the most!"

"Come on." Qiu Sheng encouraged him simply.

"When will your new album be released? This is only a new song." The young man asked.

Qiu Sheng's hand holding the pen trembled slightly, and he avoided all hints that reminded him of that March.Sometimes he thinks too much, but Qiu Sheng can't help it, he can't control himself.

Beside him, Wen Youxia replied instead of him: "Slow work produces meticulous work, don't rush."

Saying goodbye to the music fans, they hid in the lounge.

After moving the wine, the sixth brother took the newly bought fruit wine for the two of them. It was low in alcohol and tasted sweet. He sat down and sighed: "Nowadays, more and more girls are watching the show. The foreign wine with high alcohol content is too strong, and few people like it. These sold well - but one can't help but think, you used to like to take Jack Daniels."

"Iced black tea." Qiu Sheng smiled.

"You need to raise your voice, there's nothing you can do about it." Sixth Brother said, "Young bands are paying attention to this, unlike before, who care about their own 21 and [-], they should smoke and drink, how can they think of the future!"

His tone of reminiscing about the past can be heard a lot, Qiu Sheng hugged a cushion: "Sixth brother, have you seen a camel in the past two years?"

For Brother Six, "Blueberry Night", Camel is a name that is not easy to face.

If it weren't for the camel, the old livehouse that has stood in Donghe for many years would not have closed down for a year for rectification, and the sixth brother would not have been detained so quickly for harboring charges and suffered prison disasters.But he himself has a bad conscience in his actions, and he knows that it is impossible to blame the camels—the accident in "Blueberry Night" is in the final analysis the Sixth Brother's connivance.

Sixth Brother held a small bottle of rose wine, sipped it, and said in a dark voice after a long while: "I haven't seen him for a few years, and I've contacted him once or twice recently."

Qiu Sheng's heart suddenly reached his throat, and he gasped for breath.

A hand rested lightly on his palm.

It was Wen Youxia, and when Qiu Sheng looked over, there was a comforting smile in the other party's eyes.He didn't bother Brother Six, but only mouthed Qiu Sheng to relax: "Don't worry."

Qiu Sheng almost pursed his lips into a line, and shook his head to indicate that he had no serious problem.

"After the incident happened in 12, I couldn't think about it for a while. Everyone almost did it. How could it be my turn?" Brother Six smiled, "But then I thought about it. Indeed, it was my fault. , Knowing that Luo Tuo is that kind of person, but still allowing him to bring 'things' to my shop."

Wen Youxia was silent for a moment, then said, "Did he really bring it?"

"Who remembers this!" Brother Six slapped his thigh fiercely, "Could it be him?"

Wen Youxia shook his head, indicating that he mentioned it casually.

The sixth brother continued to drink, with distant memories in his eyes: "Camel is really a pity. When I knew Luo Tuo, their band had just formed not long ago, Rotten Apple, and I asked him 'Why is it called Rotten Apple? It's so unlucky. ’, he said, ‘When it rots, it rots, people rot sooner or later’. You don’t feel right now, don’t you? But I was young and thought it was fucking cool.”

"Rotten Apple." Qiu Sheng repeated in a low voice, cutting to the point, "Sixth brother, isn't Rotten Apple his first band?"

"Of course not, the band he used to be called 'Broken Shell'." Sixth brother said here, after all, he disliked flower-flavored wine and lit a cigarette to comfort him, "He and Xiaobai... well, you Look at me, I can't change my words, I'm almost forty and I still call him Xiaobai."

Qiu Sheng pulled the corner of his mouth stiffly: "Yes, 'Broken Shell', why did they change their name then?"

Sixth Brother seemed to be touched all of a sudden. He was stunned for a long time with a cigarette between his fingers, and then he said intermittently: "You know about Po Ke, so you should have heard of Anton, right? At the beginning of the century, he was the whole Donghe... even The most famous bass player in the entire east, talent, technique, style, unique, he has become the best bass in my mind."

"Once upon a time." Qiu Sheng asked, "Isn't it now?"

"People are gone, why don't we talk about the best or the best." Brother Liu took a puff of cigarette: "Actually, when I saw Wen Xia at the time, I always thought of Anton's appearance inadvertently. It's not that he looks alike, Wen Xia is much more handsome than him."

Wen Youxia didn't interrupt him.

"Technology, typhoons, we don't mention these things. Sometimes I think wildly, and I feel that Xiaobai brought you into the band. Do you also feel that you will remind him of Anton... You do have Anton's energy in you, don't care, During the performance, it was written all over the face of 'quickly call it a day', but it was very attractive."

Wen Youxia didn't recognize this praise: "Anton is better than me, I've heard the song of the same title by Broken Shell."

Brother Six shook his head: "It's a pity that I died young!"

Qiu Sheng grasped Wen Youxia subconsciously. He had a certain intuition that what Sixth Brother said next was the point——

"I can't figure it out. I still can't figure it out in the past ten years. How could Anton, who never touched 'drugs', die suddenly? After he died, the camel started touching those things..."

Then, the broken shell disappeared, and the rotten apple began to sweep through the East River underground band scene.

Everyone agrees that its soul is called Bai Yanhui.

Wen Youxia stared thoughtfully at one wall of the lounge, hanging two or three T-shirts of old rock bands, vinyl records, performance posters, dazzlingly yellowed and new intertwined imprints of time.

"I don't know what you are looking for camels for." After smoking the cigarette, the sixth brother threw the cigarette butt to the bottom of his feet viciously, "I didn't tell me where he lived in the streets near the port-he lived a good life. It's very difficult, I borrowed money from me but I never thought about asking him to pay it back, I hope you don't make things difficult for him."

Qiu Sheng straightened his back slightly.

The short-inch man in front of him was so energetic in the past, life bent his spine, and he gradually curled up, and he could no longer see the shadow of his youth.

"We have business with him, maybe only he knows about it." Qiu Sheng said solemnly.

Brother Six couldn't tell whether he believed him or not, and said, "That's good."

The conversation seemed to end here. From the corner of the eye, I saw Wen Youxia holding back for a long time and wanted to go out to smoke, but Qiu Sheng didn't stop him.When Wen Youxia went out, Qiu Shengfu looked at Sixth Brother again.

He was a little embarrassed, he didn't know whether he should ask, but at this moment, he couldn't let himself miss the opportunity just like that.

"I have something else to ask, brother six." Qiu Sheng raised his hand and pointed to the colorful posters on the wall, one of which he had noticed earlier, "That band."

Many other posters were reposted around. The one Qiu Sheng pointed out only showed the performance information in the spring of 1991, and the faces of several musicians were blocked.

The sixth brother squinted his eyes for a while and recognized it: "Oh, that's 'Sacred Spring', but they were active very early, and they don't often come to Blueberry, mainly in the other two houses... That must be when my dad was the boss , I'm not very familiar with them. Can't tell, you like such an old band?"

"I don't like it, I want to ask their guitarist." Qiu Sheng said, adding in a low voice, "That's the one, 'Brother Dao', do you know him? If you have any whereabouts, can you tell me first?"

Sixth brother thought for a long time this time, until Qiu Sheng was about to be choked by despair, he put down the empty bottle of wine:

"You can't find him."

Qiu Sheng's breath was stagnant.

Immediately afterwards, he heard Sixth Brother say, "He jumped into the sea the year before last."

Wen: I hinted very clearly, if I can’t find any clues, I will do it myself
