130 Magical Turn
In the eyes of the onlookers, in fact, the matter is very simple, that is, the boy was accidentally tripped by the arm of the wandering 'prodigal' man, and there was nothing at all, but the wandering 'prodigal' man took the opportunity to blackmail, and was even suspected of slander. With so many witnesses on the scene, there shouldn't be any surprises. Therefore, when the patrol police appeared, many people dispersed, because they knew that the result was doomed, and the bystanders who did not want to become witnesses naturally dispersed in a hurry.
But the few people who stayed were dumbfounded, because after the patrol officer checked the arm of the wandering man, he actually said amazingly, "Her arm is indeed broken." "How is this possible? The crowd was shocked, and the patrolman said to the boy who was almost in tears, "If she charges you, you have to go with us." "What kind of divine twist is this? The onlookers couldn't help but feel sorry for the boy, because this 'promote' man was obviously planning to extort a sum of money -- no one even knew if she was injured in the first place, after all, just now the 'prodigal' man accused the boy of deliberately breaking her arm and insulting her. Therefore, if the boy has no way to prove that he is not directly related to the broken arm of the wandering man, then there is probably no room for this blackmail.
At this time, everyone focused on the Liulang Han, and sure enough, the Liulang's cloudy eyes showed a triumphant smile, which made people hate itchy, "Forget the accusation, if you are willing to come up with five hundred dollars." ”
Five hundred dollars was a lot of money in the early nineties, not to mention that the boy in front of him was a young man who looked like a student, and the shabby guitar on his back and the washed denim 'pants' showed that the young man's situation was not very good. So what is this boy going to do?
But sympathy is sympathy, after all, five hundred dollars is not a random amount to take out, let alone a stranger who has never met? On the contrary, the group of onlookers who had just shrunk unconsciously grew again, and there were at least twenty or so people standing around to watch.
"Five hundred dollars? I didn't ......" the boy's answer was not unexpected.
"None? Then we'll see you in court!" The wandering 'wave' man really made up his mind, and said categorically without hesitation.
In the face of the wandering 'wave' man's step-by-step 'pressing', the boy looked around at a loss, and his blank eyes were so helpless, especially for the wandering 'wave' Han's 'treacherous' eyes, which made people more and more angry. But what about anger? No one could help him, and even many soft-hearted people avoided the boy's gaze, lest they would feel guilty for the little silent light in those eyes.
"That'...... So what should I do...... I still have a car to catch home...... Thanksgiving...... Mom ...... "The boy's voice is intermittent, as if he were muttering, and he can only capture a few words, but it is enough for the listener to piece together a complete picture."
Perhaps, this boy is a student who has no money, and in order to go home for Thanksgiving, he is on his way to the station, but he encounters such a flying disaster. If the wanderer is entangled, maybe the boy will be delayed in the detention center for the next few days. Not to mention going home for the holidays, it's very likely that the boy's parents will have to rush to Los Angeles to deal with this terrible thing.
When the onlookers looked at the wandering 'wave' Han, they found that she began to pretend to be dead again at this time, leaning on the lamppost with her dying, completely losing her domineering momentum just now. But the problem is that the wandering 'prodigal' man still slightly opened his eyes to look at the reaction of the people around him, which also makes people more certain that the wandering 'prodigal' man just wants to blackmail, and he doesn't want to 'provoke' the anger of the masses, so he deliberately shows weakness. It's disgraceful.
The crowd began to talk in a low voice, about the pity of the boys, about the hatefulness of the wanderers, about the incompetence of the patrolmen, and about the madness of the city.
In the midst of this noise, the boy suddenly remembered something and picked up his guitar, "I, I'll give you this guitar, no, put it on you for the time being, and then pay for your medical 'medicine' when I have enough money for my part-time job, and then you give me back the guitar, okay?"
"I don't need a broken guitar." The wandering 'wave' man looked weak, but his voice was full of energy, without the sharpness of the treble, this rough voice once again made people indistinguishable, and more importantly, the disdainful eyes of the wandering 'wave' man were really angry.
The boy's fingertips holding the guitar began to tighten, glowing with blue and white, you can detect his inner entanglement and reluctance, for the boy, this guitar must be very important, he finally made up his mind, but was ruthlessly rejected by the wanderer. Now it seems that the boy has fallen into an unsolvable dilemma, he can only follow the patrol to go back to assist in the investigation first, either expecting the patrol to return his innocence, or pay for it. But......
"Oh, boy." An old 'granny' 'granny' stepped out of the crowd, patted the boy on the shoulder, and then took ten dollars out of his pocket, "I know it's not much, but I hope it can help you." ”
"No......" The boy's first reaction was to refuse, with a little frightened look on his face, looking very surprised, but the old 'granny' and 'granny' put the money directly on the guitar case, "Thanksgiving, the family is waiting for you to go back." It's not worth it if it's delayed because of something disgusting. After speaking, the old 'milk' and 'milk' also glared at the 'prodigal' man fiercely, obviously despising the behavior of the 'prodigal' man.
The boy stopped the old 'milk' and 'milk' who were about to turn around and leave, "'Female' gentleman, thank you...... Thank you. A little shy and a little timid, he said, which made the old 'milk' and 'milk' 'show' a smile of relief, and the boy continued, "However, I can't accept your money casually, this is my own trouble, and I need to solve it myself." The boy's voice trembled a little, but it was still full of determination, "I think, I want to ......" The boy seemed to hesitate, but he quickly made up his mind, "I think I can put on a little performance here to show my gratitude, and maybe, after you watch the performance, you can decide if you are willing to help a little more." ”
This is Hollywood Boulevard, where there are countless street performers, and passers-by can tip the performers as much as they like, and it's a way to get paid for their own hands. Boys don't want to get something for nothing, at least through the simplest performances to show some respect.
The boy's move quickly won everyone's favor, and he still adhered to his principles in the face of difficulties, his clear eyes were weak but full of firmness, even if his strength was limited, he was still unwilling to give up, compared to the bad, bad 'wanderer' man, the boy easily won the support of the onlookers.
The boy said to do it, he quickly took out his guitar, this is a very worn guitar, but it is very well kept, you can see that the owner usually loves it very much, the boy sat cross-legged on the concrete floor, looked at the patrolman, "Please allow me to finish singing a song, okay?"
"Nope! Of course not!" The wandering man immediately screamed, and the weakness he had just now was completely gone, and he shouted meanly, "Where are my hands? What about my hands? I'm going to the hospital, the hospital!"
"Shut up!" The disgusting behavior of the wandering 'Lang' Han finally 'provoked' some people, and someone in the crowd shouted angrily, which made the Liu' Lang Han immediately shut up.
The two patrolmen looked at each other, 'crossed' each other, and then said to Hugo, "We have called an ambulance just now, and the time before the car arrives is yours." ”
"Thank you." The boy raised his head and looked at the two patrol officers with emotion, although the clear eyes had been 'covered' with a layer of mist, but the tears never fell, this strength was admirable, and the smile outlined at the corner of his mouth shone in the sunset, making people look sideways.
From the accident just now to the current street performance, what is the turning point? A qiē seems to happen too fast and too unbelievable.
The boy lowered his head and tuned the strings, the collision just now obviously caused some deviations in the tone of the strings, and the boy listened carefully to the strings, carefully confirming each note. The light is projected on the side of the boy's face, the hazy 'yin' shadow makes the boy's facial features more deep and three-dimensional, the lines of the face are softer and softer, the dark gold 'color' hair becomes transparent gold 'color' through the sunlight, exuding a thin layer of halo, and the eyes under the eyelash 'hair' projection are focused and serious, pouring all their attention.
At this moment, there is a kind of charm in the boy's body, which makes people forget the bad and bad of the wandering man, and also makes people forget the disgusting and disdain of the incident just now, and involuntarily 'shoots' his eyes on the slender fingers of the boy who are tuning the strings, as if this is the most 'fine' and delicate and beautiful work in the world.
Someone in the crowd finally realized that something was wrong, everyone's attention was on the incident before, and they didn't carefully look at the appearance of the 'prodigal' man and the boy, even if they saw it, they only had a general impression, after all, the development of things was more touching. But at this time, after everyone paid attention to the boy, the boy's appearance suddenly became clear. This...... Isn't it Hugo a Lancaster? Some people began to be suspicious, but they still couldn't be sure, because the boy lowered his head and could only see a side face, and he couldn't be completely sure. However, this temperament and face shape are really too much like Hugo, who has recently become a topic of discussion again by relying on "smelling fragrance and knowing 'female' people". But...... If it's fake, it's the wrong person, after all, there is never a shortage of handsome guys and beautiful 'women' on the streets and alleys of Hollywood; Did Hugo have an accident, or did it ...... Is this qiē deliberately arranged?
But the boy didn't have time to think more, he quickly adjusted the strings, and with a few taps of his fingers on the strings, the fresh and melodious sound of the guitar stirred up a cloud of dust in the setting sun, and gradually settled down the noise around him.
The boy didn't hesitate any longer, his fingers began to pluck the strings, and a melody was like a clear spring water flowing slowly down in the red 'colored' sunset.
