Chapter 109 I Want to Learn Songs from You

  Go go go go go

  How many years of youth have passed by.

  The little grass in spring is sprouting.

  Another spring and summer.

  ……

  A song of wandering, singing out the feelings of countless people wandering outside.

  At this time, more than half of the people in the crowd were infected with some sadness by this song.

  Maybe they are also drifting outside, who can understand this pain.

  Of course, maybe they aren't, but there are always some relatives who are.

  It's the same when one holiday after another arrives, but there are no loved ones around, this feeling is really unbearable.

  "Don't be sad, little brother."

  As he spoke, one of his friends took out 10 yuan from his body and put it on Zhou Fan's side.

  Others who saw this, originally had no intention of taking out money, were infected by this song, and more or less made a contribution.

  "Sorry, little brother, we didn't know you..."

  A murmured voice arose, and it was the two city administrators from earlier, looking at Zhou Fan with some embarrassment.

  As he spoke, he hastily took out over a hundred yuan from his own pocket and put it back in its original place. Moreover, he still felt that he had not done enough, so he gave Zhou Fan 50 yuan of the money he was carrying on him. "Sorry, actually we are just like you. My hometown is a small town in the southwest, I've been drifting here for over twenty years."

  Everyone present sighed at these words.

  "We're both drifters in this world."

  Afterwards, without further ado about Zhou Fan selling songs here, the two city administrators left.

  At 11 o'clock that night, Zhou Fan was ready to go to bed.

  "Sorry, I won't sing anymore."

  Just collecting things, suddenly saw another person standing beside him, Zhou Fan apologized and said a sentence.

  It was you.

  This is exactly the girl who met in the underground passage before.

  "I want to learn songs from you."

  The girl hesitated for a moment but still said it firmly.

  She had already finished work at 10 o'clock in the evening and was originally going to find a place to stay for the night. However, when she walked out of the underground passage, she suddenly saw Zhou Fan on the square. Out of curiosity, she also walked over. But what happened next left this girl stunned. Not only did Zhou Fan not get chased away by the city management, but after listening to his song, they even gave him 50 yuan. This scene almost overturned her imagination.

  It wasn't until Van's singing in the following week that this girl truly understood.

  When he reaches this point, it's not just the city management, I'm afraid anyone who comes over will be embarrassed to drive him away.

  As she thought about it, the girl couldn't help but compare herself with him.

  She originally lived in the beautiful prairie, but for her dream and to sing songs, she resolutely took her guitar and headed south. However, after three years of singing outside, there was not a single achievement. In these three years, not only did she become further away from her dreams, but even her own life became difficult to sustain.

  It wasn't until later that she found out.

  It is impossible to succeed with just a passion and hobby alone, without professional practice.

  But she couldn't find a suitable teacher.

  Or maybe there are many professional singers in this world, but none of them have come to guide her.

  Still, even so, she continued to sing without complaint or regret, singing for her own dreams.

  Until today, she finally found out that the mentor she had been searching for was right in front of her eyes.

  At this moment, the girl was excited beyond self-control.

  "Learn songs?"

  Zhou Fan found it a bit strange, "You can sing, why are you still learning from me?"

  "I don't sing well, so I want to learn from you."

  The girl answered truthfully.

  "Sorry, I'm just average at singing too."

  He gathered his belongings and set off towards a relatively cheaper inn.

  Actually, with Zhou Fan's conditions, he could have stayed in a hotel or even a good one. But Zhou Fan told himself that this time leaving home was not to enjoy himself, but to experience life and feel the world. The hostel may not be in great condition, but it's still okay. It's also quite clean, most importantly, they provide hot water.

  Just then, Zhou Fan had just taken a few steps when the girl followed him at a leisurely pace.

  "Hey, sister, to be honest with you. I'm a singer too, and I don't have time to teach you. If you want to learn, I suggest you go to a regular music school, maybe that will help you more."

  Zhou Fan is not a heartless person, but he is not a person who spreads love everywhere.

  Even if this girl looks good, Zhou Fan won't fall in love with her easily.

  "Sorry, I think you're the only one who can teach me."

  The girl was a bit embarrassed, but for the dream in her heart, she still persisted.

  "My goodness."

  "Otherwise, I just sang a song and earned some money here, I'll keep 20, you can take the rest."

  "I don't want money."

  The girl stood firm and was not swayed by money.

  In fact, among these people who sell their voices, how many of them are really after money?

  "So what do you want?"

  Zhou Fan scratched his hair, having no way with this girl.

  "I don't want anything else, I just want to learn songs from you. Master, accept me as your disciple."

  "Stop it, stop it! Master isn't calling out randomly. I said I don't have time, you mustn't follow me again, or else I'll shout for people."

  Zhou Fan looked around but saw no one in all directions. He shouted loudly but still no one came over.

  "Flushed."

  The girl was amused by the atmosphere on the scene and burst out laughing. But seeing Zhou Fan's cold face, she came back to her senses, "Master, I just want to learn songs from you. And, I'm very diligent, I can help you wash clothes, and I can also help you cook."

  "No way, I said no way, so it's not going to happen."

  Zhou Fan also maintained his stance. Unfortunately, no matter what Zhou Fan said, the girl followed him anyway.

  Just as Zhou Fan was at a loss for what to do, he suddenly had an idea and shouted loudly, "Urban Management!"

  As soon as the city management came, the girl's long-standing habit was suddenly panicked and she ran away.

  Seeing this, Zhou Fan burst out laughing and flashed away instantly.

  Haha, in this world, only people like me are not afraid of city management officers.

  Sister, next time we go somewhere else, if any city administrator dares to come, I'll sing another song of wandering.

  No, I don't just sing The Wandering Songstress, I also sing Du Shiniang...

  Thinking of that song lyric, "If you're hungry, tell me, Shi Niang will make noodles for you", Zhou Fan's whole body trembled.

  Such a heartbreaking song, he didn't believe it wouldn't move people.

  With a secret smile in his heart, Zhou Fan quickly found that cheap hostel and opened a room, comfortably taking a hot bath.

  Early in the morning, Zhou Fan woke up from his practice and opened the door to have breakfast when someone suddenly fell into the room.

  "This, this..."

  Zhou Fan was startled.

  Until the person who fell to the ground rubbed his eyes and stood up, Zhou Fan finally woke up.

  "My god, it's you again?"

  It's him again, the one who was with his girlfriend last night.

  "Sorry, sorry, it was too late last night and I accidentally fell asleep."

  The girl apologized in a hurry.

  "Never mind, just don't follow me and you'll be doing me a favor."

  Zhou Fan was helpless. For a girl like this, he couldn't hit her and it wasn't right to scold her either, what could he do with her?

  "By the way, how did you know I was here?"

  Found it strange in his heart.

  Didn't you just dump her and leave last night? How did she find you again?

  When Zhou Fan asked, the girl was a bit embarrassed. "This hostel is the cheapest in the area, and I've stayed here for several nights too. I guessed you'd come here, so I came over."

  "Relax."

  I didn't expect this layer.

  It seems this girl is quite experienced in the ways of the world, she's found all these.

  "Alright, alright. You haven't had breakfast yet, I'll treat you."

  "Thank you."

  As soon as she said this, the girl's stomach growled loudly. She hadn't eaten since last night until now.

  It's actually quite common for things like this to happen, singing and looking carefree, but sometimes not even earning a single cent in a day. Plus, there are also accommodation fees and food expenses, making life very difficult. There were many days when the girls had to spend the night under the bridge. It was just that they encountered a few perverts a few times, which made her no longer dare to be alone outside. So sometimes, even if she's hungry, she has to find an inn to sleep in.

  But for her, even the cheapest inn was a bit too much to bear.

  "Don't be polite, let's go."

  Zhou Fan was very enthusiastic, he was planning, after the girl had eaten and drunk enough, serving her until she was satisfied, then coaxing her to leave.

  It was another whirlwind sweeping away the remaining clouds, and Zhou Fan stared blankly at the dozen or so small steamer baskets on the dinner table.

  "This girl can eat more than me."

  But it doesn't matter.

  "Hey girl, it's been so long, I don't even know your name. My name is Zhou Fan."

  "Master, I'm Yang Mengling."

  "Yang Mengling, what a good name!"

  Zhou Fan sighed and didn't care if she called him Shifu or not.

  "By the way, Meng Ling, are you full? Do you want a few more steamed buns?"

  "No more, I'm full, I'm full, I think I won't eat for three days."

  The girl patted her belly and let out a satisfied belch.

  "It's gone in an instant, it turns out it was three days' worth."

  This girl is also fierce, eating one meal can last three days.

  But this also shows how hard it is for street performers; can you imagine what it's like to go three days without eating?

  "That's good, that's good."

  Zhou Fan smiled and asked, "Where is your home?"

  "My home is in Inner Mongolia."

  "The prairie, great, I've always wanted to go to the prairie."

  Mentioning the vast grassland, Zhou Fan's eyes were filled with yearning.

  He even burst into a prairie song involuntarily.

  "In the blue sky, white clouds are floating, under the white clouds horses are running..."

  "After singing, Zhou Fan excitedly said, 'Let me tell you, I love the grasslands the most.'"

  "Really?"

  "Yes, let's go now. Here is 500 yuan for the ticket. I'll wait here for you, you go to the train station and buy two tickets."

  Heart aching, he took out the 500 yuan he had just earned last night and generously handed it over to Yang Mengling. He only waited for Yang Mengling to take the money to buy a ticket before immediately slipping away. However, no sooner had the 500 yuan been handed over to Yang Mengling than she said, "Master, your cheating skills are too poor, how could I possibly believe you?" After that, she stuffed the 500 yuan back into Zhou Fan's hand.

  "I, I..."

  Zhou Fan almost choked on the soy milk he had just drunk.

  This girl is quite clever.

  However, it's also true that if you're not clever, you won't be able to survive on your own.

  But in this way, the girl is still entangled with herself, which really makes him headache. Just when Zhou Fan had no way to go and was about to shout "Chengguan" again, he prepared to slip away. But just as he said the word "city", suddenly, Zhou Fan's right hand was caught by Yang Mengling, "Master, we are having breakfast, even if there is a city manager coming, we are not afraid."
