Before leaving Mount Sinai Hospital, Langley found Anne again.
Annie is dribbling, and her young eyebrows are tangled tightly, which makes people clearly feel her pain and realize that she is also a child who has been suffering from illness and has to be hospitalized all the year round. But she widened her eyes and said, "Annie is a strong girl, isn't she? It's like Alex! "
Standing in front of these children, lanli always felt that he was so small and helpless.
After cheering Annie on, Langley left. Alex's operation is still in progress. Heart transplantation is not a small operation, as short as five or six hours, as long as more than ten hours. The waiting time is long and painful. But compared with the thin figure lying on the bed, everything became insignificant.
Sitting on the subway, staggering, people coming and going, noisy and noisy, but between people is completely strange individuals, indifferent and alert to distance, quiet down, enjoy the rare silence and tranquility, but let the confused mood precipitate down. This is true of supermarkets, and so is the subway.
Before he knew it, Langley spent more than three hours in Mount Sinai Hospital. When he came out of the subway again, the setting sun was slanting between the tall buildings, reflecting the swaying Hudson River. It seemed that he would sink at any time. Lanli was dumbfounded and didn't know if Neil and his family were interested in a night trip to Hudson. Otherwise, the last bet would have to be postponed.
Compared with his own home, lanli knew the roads around the Pioneer Village like the palm of his hand. He didn't need to distinguish them carefully. After he got out of the subway station, he could find the destination by walking freely. However, on the streets today, the crowd seems to be much more special, which makes Lan Li a little surprised——
When he arrived at Kennedy International Airport in the morning, he also felt that there were fewer people. He thought that most journalists were marching towards Venice and Toronto, and most of them had less "eyes" left in Manhattan; But now why does that feeling disappear, instead of surging up? Is it because of rush hour?
Isn't it Saturday? There is no rush hour! As for the enthusiasm of the weekend night, the night has not completely subsided now, so it can't be so fast.
Lanli is also full of question marks, but think about it carefully. This is New York, with a population of eight million. There are countless activities and parties every day and night. Different groups, different ethnic groups and different classes can always find their own time and area. This should not be surprising.
Picking up the doubts, Lan Li stepped on the skateboard and went all the way to the Pioneer Village. But instead of reducing the number of question marks, they are increasing - because the crowd seems to be moving in the same direction as him. Then, Langley saw the spectacular scene at the gate of the Pioneer Village.
The mighty team began to extend back along the block. At a rough look, it seemed to have reached the end of the street. It continued to line up. A corner entered the next street; One after another, we can see the crowd join us and greet each other cheerfully. On the way to the end of the line, when we meet acquaintances, we can't help stopping and chatting; The bloated crowd almost filled the whole pedestrian street. In order to move fast, the people who came and went had to borrow the roadway, which made the cars slow down.
The hot scene seems to ignite the heat of midsummer again, boiling up.
If you look at it, there are at least 200 people in front of you, and you can see that people continue to join in intermittently. Even the most popular clubs and nightclubs in New York are on such a large scale at the peak of the crowd, but it will have to wait until after 10 p.m. now, it is absolutely impossible.
How lively the scene is, how abnormal it is.
Lanli couldn't help but look up at the vast night. Above the dark blue curtain, the residual glow of the setting sun was still burning. Some of the street lights in Manhattan were on, some were not, and the sky was full of thick blue. He was right, and the night still did not come.
What's going on?
Pioneer Village is one of the recommended attractions at the end of New York City Hall, not only because it retains the original architectural and decoration styles of the 1930s and 1940s, but also because it continues the essence of the golden age of American music, which is one of the historical witnesses of New York art.
But as a jazz bar, it has completely declined in modern society. Apart from New York, Memphis, Nashville and a few other cities where music originated, jazz bars have almost disappeared. Even for "tourist attractions", the popularity of pioneer villages has not been strong.
In lanli's memory, the Pioneer Village, which can accommodate 80 to 100 people, can be counted by two hands on a full night. Every time, famous singers come to sing. They start to publicize about half a month in advance to attract tourists and fans. In addition, professional fans fill the Pioneer Village.
So, is it because of the big singers coming to sing this evening? Nora Jones? Jason mayez? Taylor Swift? Or train?
Lanli slowed down and walked slowly on his skateboard. He was looking for a poster at the gate of Pioneer Village. When the famous singer came, the public relations company would surely provide the corresponding poster. The difference was only the scale. However, Lan Li was disappointed. He didn't see anything, which made him more confused.
Looking at the people standing in line at the door, lanli hesitated. He didn't want to jump in the queue, so did he want to enter through the back door?
The thought in my mind just came out, and I didn't have time to think about it at all. There was a cry in my ear, "young master!"
"Hoo." This is the sound of a breath of cool air. In the last second, the street was still very noisy. In sharp contrast, the second half of the team was still chirping and bustling. It seemed that they didn't notice the abnormality at the gate of the Pioneer Village. Such a gap made the silence at the gate more distinct, and even the breath seemed to be choked out. It's like putting out a cigarette end. There's no need for a wisp of smoke.
Blue Li followed the voice to see past, the fundus of the eye also not from reveal surprised, "William?"
It's not William Taylor. Who is it? Not only William, but also a few familiar faces, such as Graham Hughes, hope Bates, Tessa Breeden... These are all familiar faces of fans. Lenley has seen them many times before and after, which is very impressive.
It's just, they're in the Pioneer Village. What's going on? It's not the premiere of a movie or the classic movie night of an art theater. Is it a special tourist? Has nothing to do with him?
"Is there any activity here tonight?" Lan Li asked, and then he saw the breathless faces, which were ferocious and funny. He couldn't tell whether he was laughing or crying, but looked at each other one by one, which made Lan Li laugh, "what's the special activity? Do you need Cosplay?"
Standing nearby, Tessa couldn't help but walk forward half a step. "Young master, didn't you come here specially for tonight's activity?"
This time and again, Lan Li became more and more confused, "is there any special situation that I should know?" After spending three weeks in the Caribbean and being isolated from the rest of the world, Langley felt that he could not keep up with the development of the world.
"Lan Li, Lan Li!" Was submerged in the crowd of Janice black, at this time just noticed the emergence of blue Li, repeatedly waved, "how do you come here? Nathan said yesterday that you are on holiday in Cuba. Did you come all the way back? "
Lanli nodded to William and others, gestured to meet Janice, gave her a hug, and said with a smile, "who can explain to me what's going on? I'm completely confused now. Should I run away? For example, someone wanted me or something? "
This joke made Janice laugh freely, but the others beside her didn't seem to react. Their faces were still deeply shocked. They looked at Lan Li with bright eyes. They didn't move, and there was no sound at all, for fear that a little noise would break the dream and make them wake up and come back to reality.
"You don't know?" Janice responded, muttering, "Nathan didn't mention it to you," and then explained, "after your album was officially released, Stanley and Neil were so happy. Every day in the bar to talk about, and a group of old friends to talk about the more happy, one by one like lost heart crazy. Then last week, they thought, why don't we attract more real music lovers to come and share and discuss with us? So Neil launched an event on Facebook, inviting people who really like your music to come to the bar and hold a audition of Don Quixote's album
Lan Li opened his mouth and tried to make some comments, but found that he was poor.
Janice patted her head. "Look at my memory, I forgot. They said, you won't be invited, it's just the communication between fans. That's probably why Nathan didn't mention it to you. Why, since you don't know, how did you come here today? "
"... I just came back from my holiday today because I have to go to Toronto next week for the film festival." Lan Li looked back at the huge queue in front of him. He couldn't believe his eyes. "So, do you mean these people came here specially for my album?"
Not for Langley, just for Don Quixote? It sounds like a fantasy.
"You should ask them about the details. But, if I'm not wrong, yes, it is Janice also made a joke, joking about lanli's consternation and fright, then patted lanli on the shoulder, "since you're here, join us. Stanley, they won't mind With that, Janice herself chuckled and pushed lanli into the Pioneer Village.
William and others, who stayed at the door, looked at each other, exchanged views, and then... "Ah ah!"
