For the first stop, Suo Yan chose City E, which is 400 kilometers west of City A.The reason is simple, he knows the owner of this livehouse.

The small shop is called "Flying Chess". The owner, A Can, is originally from City A, but he went there because he found a wife in City E.Suo Yan only briefly introduced it to everyone when the car was driving on a high speed.

Lie Yan members defaulted to the boss and Suo Yan as "buddies", because everyone is usually like this. When you go out to do errands, it's better to find someone you know and have the courage to get acquainted with.

400 kilometers is not too far. I rested in the service area for 20 minutes halfway, drank water and went to the toilet, and arrived at the place almost noon.

According to the car navigation, Suo Yan circled half of the city, and finally found the marked address, which was actually next to an old residential area with a sense of age!Didn't even see the name of the shop.

It was noon, and a few people parked their cars at the entrance of the narrow street. While moving their bodies and getting out of the car, they felt the strange eyes of the aunts who picked up their grandchildren from school in the small street.

"Isn't this place right?" Yang Kai saw that the atmosphere of life around here was strong, and he didn't have the feeling of rock and roll at all. He looked at the two primary school students and pulled down his sleeves in embarrassment to cover his flowery arms. , so as not to mislead the flowers of the motherland.

Suo Yan hurriedly took out his mobile phone to check the address in doubt, looked back and forth three or four times before nodding his head and said: "It should be...that's right."

There are more and more elementary school students leaving school. The four big boys, wearing clothes that feel full of their own personality, are among a group of children wrapped in school uniforms. No matter how they look at them, they feel awkward.

They were thinking whether to go through the group of children and climb back into the car to hide for a while, or just walk in and ask for directions. Suddenly, a little girl wearing a red beret ran among them and asked: "Aren't you Lie Yan (raging flames)?"

"Ah?" The four of them were stunned, Suo Yan took off his jacket and put it on his head, and kept digging the hole in his trousers with his cold index finger, while Dawei looked around thoughtlessly.

"Hey, I posted your posters, and I didn't even post a picture! It's quite mysterious! But I forgive you for seeing how handsome you are." The little girl was about eleven or twelve years old, but she spoke like A small adult, she stretched out her hand, exposing a white forearm to the noon sun, "I am Xiaoxue, Ah Can's younger sister."

"Oh!" Suo Yan realized that he had not found the wrong place, and he smiled and stretched out his hand to shake with Xiaoxue.

Xiaoxue thoughtfully shook hands with Leng Lie, Dawei, and Yang Kai in turn, making the older boys laugh a little.

"Come with me, the shop is in front." Xiaoxue said, turned around, straightened her hat, and led the others further into the small street.

Arriving at a small second floor surrounded by residential buildings, Xiaoxue stopped, shook her head, and said, "That's it, I'll open the door, you guys go get the equipment."

The signboard of this store is just as the name says, flying chess, half of which is flying, and the LED light strip that circles around is missing.However, it can be seen that the overall shape has been thoughtful, and the exterior wall is decorated with messy colors, which is very post-modern.It's just these few people who tilted their necks and looked at it for a long time, but they didn't understand what the painting was about.

There is also a magical thing, there is a chimney on the top of this house!A cotton-stuffed Santa climbs the top of the chimney.

Seeing this, Leng Lie suddenly laughed: "This feels good, I like it."

"Heh...heh..." Suo Yan also laughed. He didn't expect that boy Acan to manage a store with his heart in this place, and his mood improved accordingly.

The four people turned back the same way and drove the car over, parked in the open space behind the small second floor, and carried the equipment into the store bit by bit.

The lights in the shop were turned on, so it didn’t look dark, and it was warm and different from the natural light outside. Only then did everyone realize that the windows in the shop were high and painted, and it wasn’t as bright as it looked outside. It is a two-story building, but the first floor is very tall.

The floor is very retro, the kind of mosaic floor that would only be laid in rich people's homes when they were young.

"Where's your brother?" Suo Yan saw those people fiddling with equipment, and went to the bar to ask Xiaoxue who was doing homework.

Xiaoxue bit the pen holder, thought for a while and wrote the word "solve" under the problem, then raised her head and said, "He said he didn't want to see you, it's annoying."

"Fuck!" As soon as the words were out of his mouth, Suo Yan immediately realized that swearing in front of children is a big or small thing, and quickly retracted, "I'm sorry, just said that word, you just farted."

Xiaoxue put down her pen, tilted her head to look at Suo Yan, her round black eyes swept back the rest of Lie Yan, and said: "You are really brave, you robbed my sister-in-law back then, and now you dare to bring someone here My brother's performance?"

"Yo!" Suo Yan had already seen that this little girl was difficult to deal with, but he didn't expect that this guy knew everything about himself and Ah Can, "No, listen to my explanation..."

"Hey!" Leng Lie walked over and patted Suo Yan on the shoulder, "Go try yours."

"Hey, I'll explain to you later." Suo Yan pointed at Xiaoxue resentfully, then turned to look for his Beth.

"Explain what?" Leng Lie didn't leave immediately, because he saw the poster of Lie Yan pasted on the whole wall behind Xiaoxue, so he stared at it involuntarily, and asked a casual question.

"He wants to explain why he robbed my sister-in-law back then, and now he is performing on my brother's site." As she said that, Xiaoxue bit her pen again, twirling the roll of paper in front of Leng Lie, "Brother, this application Can you solve the problem?"

Glancing coldly, it was probably the question of how long it would take for two trains to cross each other at what speed. He used to be annoyed by this kind of question the most, and of course he had never solved it correctly. The scroll turned back and asked a gossip question that he thought he would never ask in his life: "Has he chased your sister-in-law before?"

"Where is chasing? It's obviously snatching. Otherwise, can my brother bring our whole family here?" Xiaoxue frowned, and tapped the tip of the pen on the paper, "I said you are such a big man, why don't you You can’t even solve a single question, so don’t just make those messy noises, read more books and newspapers when you have time, and read official accounts if you can’t, okay?”

Leng Lie had never met such an eloquent little girl before, with a shocked expression on his face, he nodded and left.But I kept thinking in my head—fuck!Damn!Suo Yan, why are you a double?What is the operation of stealing other people's wives? !

In the afternoon, Xiaoxue went to class, and several shop assistants came to the store one after another, saying hello to Lie Yan members.One of them volunteered to take them out to eat. On the way, he often complained about the Waterloo of the live band.

In fact, you can tell by looking at this place, hiding in the residential area, who can find it!

Back in the store, the equipment is almost ready to be adjusted, and everything is ready for drinks and lighting.When the time printed on the poster came, there were not many people at the scene.

This is the first stop of their first and probably only tour. Originally, they had to work hard, but they didn't expect it to be like this.

"Do you want to go on stage first?" The clerk who took them out for dinner in the afternoon had an expression of "see what I said."

"Let's go, brothers, even an audience member has to be 100% involved." Suo Yan patted the big guy on the shoulder, indicating that the performance was about to start.

Leng Lie didn't know how Dawei and Yang Kai were feeling, anyway, he himself was very calm.Because there are people who can listen to him playing the piano, whether it is one person, ten people, hundreds or thousands of people, all he cares about is his own music, which makes no difference at all.
