When Hugo used to roll in the underground rock circle, he visited all kinds of cities, including first-line top metropolises and quiet and secluded small counties, in fact, for many people, the appearance of metropolises is exactly the same, Hugo thought so at first.

The metropolis is nothing more than high-rise buildings, busy traffic, shoulder to shoulder, dense crowds make people wonder if they will start to suffocate due to dense phobia, and the city sky seems to be full of 'gloomy' haze, with a heaviness and busyness that will never go away. For example, New York and Chicago are similar, with countless skyscrapers blocking the view and going up. The situation is similar in the sea.

But after walking more places, Hugo changed this idea, especially as a member of a team of 'cave' performances, he can see the prosperous side of the city, but also see the quiet, dirty, hidden, and life side of the city. Hugo found that in fact, every city has its own special 'color', not referring to those special attractions, but to the charm of the city.

For example. The tranquility of the sea, the old. The small sea-style 'lane' hall, Wu Nong's soft accent, and the mottled and quaint brick walls; For example, the heartiness of Chicago, the white 'waves' and 'flowers', the hunting wind, and the strong Midwestern style; Another example is the chic of New York, with the unique "hole" sky between the "interlaced" streets, the multicultural atmosphere that blooms in full bloom, and the artistic atmosphere that can be seen on the street.

Looking at the scene in front of him, feeling the magic of this afternoon, the melody in Hugo's mind is flying, like dust flying in the sun, composing a golden note between the grooves of his head, "This is a beautiful day, the sky is falling, you think, this is a beautiful day, don't let go and miss it." ”

The inspiration that Victor Hugo had on the first day of the new year in 1993 came back to his mind, and the song was tentatively titled "Beautiful." day)" this time completes the chorus's melody, and although Hugo doesn't think of the corresponding lyrics for the time being, he just hums the melody, but it's still a huge improvement. At least, the song is a third of the way through.

If you can slow down the pace and savor the characteristics of each city, you can find that the streets, buildings, transportation, and people that make up the city are all imbued with the characteristics of other cities that cannot be imitated.

Unfortunately, not everyone has the time and mood to slow down, because the weight of life tends to make people 'lose' themselves. Even Hugo, who has lived in this time and space for more than a year, has not had a good taste of the city of Los Angeles, and although he is always amazed when he occasionally glimpses the tip of the iceberg, he has never really felt it with his heart. Now standing in New York, the largest city in the world, Hugo can't help but sigh, in fact, he is just an insignificant pebble in the torrent of history.

New York is much more indifferent than Los Angeles in this regard, making people feel like they are alone in the middle of the city.

Just like the noise not far away, the impetuosity in the city air made people lose their minds, and began to produce 'fierce' quarrels, even fists and feet, but the pedestrians still moved forward quickly, and there were not many people who were willing to stop and watch the lively crowd, but there were less than ten people standing around and watching the farce in front of them.

Of course, no one watches the excitement, which is actually a good thing, at least it can avoid the situation of 'traffic', 'chaos' and 'chaos', but it also shows from the side that in this hurried city, people don't care about the lives of their neighbors except themselves, let alone strange passers-by?

Hugo wasn't going to watch the excitement either, because he had no intention of meddling, at least he wasn't dressed as a New York police officer now. Cha's uniform or superman's outfit, then these things are not his responsibility. But Hugo's footsteps stopped unexpectedly, because he actually saw an acquaintance.

Hugo couldn't help but pull Joseph, who was always adrift - since he got Catherine's signature, Joseph has been a little distracted, I don't know whether he regrets not being able to talk to Catherine face-to-face, or is he 'excited' this afternoon's stabbing 'excited' experience, "Joe, look at that person, isn't it...... Fokin? ”

Joseph came back to his senses, followed Hugo's line of sight, and saw a group of people fighting in front of him, in fact, it is not accurate to say that it was a group of people, there were five people in total, three people fought two people, and the two sides fought very fiercely, although three people had a numerical advantage, but one of the two people was obviously a good fighter, so that the two sides maintained a delicate balance. Guitars, basses and other instruments were scattered around, and the drum kit was knocked to the ground, and the whole scene looked 'chaotic' and 'chaotic'.

The person Hugo was referring to was the big man of the two, and since he was in the midst of a 'melee' battle at this time, Joseph had to see it very clearly, but judging from his size, he did look a bit like Fokine, "Are you sure?" ”

Hugo shook his head, "I just saw the tattoo on his hand and thought it was a bit like it." ”

Fokine had a large tattoo on each of his left and right arms, which began to pierce according to the shape of his chest, and then spread to his arms, covering the entire biceps muscle, as if he were wearing a piece of armor. Fujin's tattoo is very special, with a strong oriental style, the 'chest' pattern is a huge skeletal ghost head, and the extension to the arm part is like a dragon's body, like soaring clouds and fog and like turning over the river and the sea, domineering and weird. According to Fokine, it took him three weeks to carry out these two tattoos, and you can imagine the pain of the process, but the finished product is definitely a work of art, which is breathtaking.

Joseph also looked at the sight, the man who was suspected to be Fokine was wearing a white 'colored' T-shirt, half of the sleeves were ripped up, and half of the tattoo could be seen, the position was the same as Fokine's, but the pattern was not clear because of the movement.

Just when Hugo and Joseph were hesitating, one of the three people suddenly broke away from the battlefield, picked up a guitar next to him, and was about to use his weapon, which made the scattered onlookers next to him involuntarily take two steps back.

The big man was alone against a man, and he immediately gained the upper hand, and he gave his opponent a kick so hard that he threw him to the ground, and then the big man yelled fiercely at the man who picked up the guitar, "You dare! As he spoke, the big fist clenched and lifted into the air.

At this time, Hugo and Joseph could finally see the appearance of the big man clearly, although his face was unbearable because of the nosebleed, but it was indeed Fokin. This made Hugo and Joseph look at each other unexpectedly, although Hugo hadn't seen Faucin for a long time, but mainly because he was filming "Sleepless in Seattle", but he didn't expect that Foquin actually left Los Angeles and came to New York.

Hugo was about to step forward, but he heard Fokine rush towards the man who raised the guitar like a tiger descending a mountain, which made the guy so frightened that he turned around and ran away with the guitar in his arms. With the first one to run away, the other man who was fighting also staggered back, and then pulled the one lying on the ground up, and the two men fled with a bass and a keyboard.

The guy who was with Forkine took two steps forward and yelled, "That's my keyboard!" Grass! ”

I thought that the farce would end here, but I didn't want this guy to turn his gun on Forkin, "I told you that you shouldn't come to New York, look at what's going on now!" It's ruined, are you responsible? ”

Hugo and Joseph couldn't help but pause as they walked forward, what was going on? Originally, he wanted to go to support Fujin, but unexpectedly, Fujin scared his opponent away, and then his companions began to fight among themselves. Because Hugo didn't know the whole story of the matter, and they didn't know if they were too reckless to step forward at this time, their footsteps stayed in place for a while, and they didn't move forward or backward.

In the face of his companion's accusations, Forkine did not show weakness and yelled back, "So what are you going to do, to stay in that bar for the rest of your life as a resident band?" Don't tell me that you don't want to make a career, don't put all the blame on me, it was my idea to come to New York, but you all agreed, I didn't force you to come. ”

"Grass! It's not that you're there to keep stressing us out, who would want to leave! The companion looked at Fokine with angry eyes and expressed his anger with practical actions, "You know that Brown is an alcoholic, and you didn't look at him last night, look at this mess today!" We already have no money, what do you want? What do you want? The companion pushed and shoved Fokine and said aggressively, "What do you want!" ”

"I want to ......" Fujin was pushed back by his companion and retorted loudly, but after he spoke, he found that the flame in his 'chest' made him unable to vent at all, so he could only roar twice like a wolf, and finally gave up.

The companion looked at Fokine's depressed expression, and suddenly became distracted, angrily snorted to the side, stood in place and scratched his head depressedly, then looked around at the mess all over the ground, hesitated for a moment, and finally kicked another guitar on the ground, and quickly left the scene, leaving Fokine alone in the middle of the scattered drum kit, at a loss.

Hugo and Joseph looked at each other.

If Hugo didn't guess wrong, it is estimated that those companions were Faukin's band members, but I don't know what internal contradictions quarreled, so that they fought at the moment of the street corner performance, although it was a three-on-two confrontation at the beginning, but in fact, there were also conflicts between Fokine and his companions.

But these things are all internal affairs of the Forkine band, and Hugo and Joseph, as outsiders, naturally don't say much, after all, they don't know anything and are not qualified to speak. But then again, they were standing next to them, and then they turned to leave at this time, without even saying hello, which seemed inappropriate.

After hesitating for a moment, Hugo stepped forward with a hard head, "Hey, Fokine, do you need help?" ”

At this time, the excitement was over, and the small number of onlookers around him slowly dispersed, leaving Fujin standing in place in a daze, hearing the shouts next to him, he suddenly raised his head, and cast a fierce gaze at the person who spoke, and the word "roll" in his mouth had been blurted out before he raised his head.
