Chapter 1176

New York in January, Chicago in February, ice and snow, biting cold, dark, that endless winter, look at, so long and so bleak, it seems never to go out, just trapped in the endless gray, even sigh a breath are so sad and melancholy.

However, such an environment is very suitable for "drunken ballad". Even the mist and cold in the air are so perfect that the whole crew follows Levine Davis's steps and walks in the streets of Greenwich Village. Then one day, they drag a guitar case and ride all the way to Chicago; And then he came back in disgrace.

The progress of the shooting work is very smooth. Most of the shooting has been completed in just three weeks, and it is in the final stage.

Come back again, Greenwich Village is still that Greenwich Village. The gray streets, the gray sky, the gray crowd, and the vast gray make time meaningless. It seems that time has been gone for a long time, but it seems that it has never left.

Standing at the door of Jim and Jane's apartment, he rang the doorbell. There was no sense of shame, no sense of guilt, or even no sense of morality. His face was calm and tired. Jane's voice came from the walkie talkie, "hello?"

"This is Levine. Don't hang up. I'm not going to stay, I just need a place to put my things down, please. I really don't have the energy to drag it around. "

There was no pause, no space, and she poured out all the words in one go. Because in the last conversation, Levine and Jane separated unhappily. Jane was completely out of the ground angry, swearing and smoking. It seemed that she would never want to see him again. But he needed to put things down, they were so heavy that they almost crushed him.

That pair of drooping eyes revealed deep fatigue, lingering, as if the whole person melted in the gray and gloomy of New York. The thick moustache was a bit messy, which vaguely could capture the confusion and embarrassment of not being able to have a good rest last night. The scarf hanging loosely on the neck was stained with coffee stains, but it was too late to take care of it.

"Please?" Levine gently raised the epilogue, but the voice did not have time to rise, and then fell heavily, short and simply, without leaving any epilogue. Then he dropped his eyes again, and the fundus of his eyes was gray and dead, and no light could be caught.

Silence, or silence, Jane didn't say a word. But at the end of the silence, the door of the apartment opened.

Levine closed his eyes, breathed a little invisibly, and opened the door of the apartment.

The thin and burly figure is slowly moving forward in the narrow corridor, and the steps are trying to raise, but the heavy sense of falling makes the whole person look very heavy. The straight spine and firm shoulders never bend, and the lofty and pride in the bones still do not seem to disappear, but the straight shoulder line reveals a touch of loneliness and vicissitudes, Little by little, the vitality is calming down.

On his left shoulder was a dirty leather travel bag, and on his right hand was a weathered guitar case.

This is all the luggage. But such luggage almost crushed his shoulders, and it seemed that he could no longer bear it.

Footstep stopped in front of the cobalt blue apartment door, "knock", knocked on the door panel, the dull sound reverberated in the corridor, Levine slightly invisibly straightened his shoulders, as if the weight of his right hand was slowly dragging his body.

The door of the apartment opened, and Jane, with a cold face, appeared in the line of sight.

She dropped her eyes, as if she didn't want to see Levine at all. She didn't even want to contact her eyes. However, the remaining light of her eyes looked at her and caught the dusty figure. It seemed that there was no difference between her eyes and before, but it seemed that there was something different. She couldn't help but move her eyes away, slightly put her head away, and then made way.

Levine didn't speak or look up. He walked into the room in silence and walked slowly to the corner with a touch of relief between his eyebrows. He couldn't wait to put his guitar case in the corner, but his urgent action became gentle when the guitar case was about to land, Carefully put the guitar case and traveling bag in the corner next to the radiator.

Close the door of the apartment and turn around. Jane notices Levine's back. Frowning, the strange feeling came to her heart again, but she didn't notice Levine's action, just fell on her back.

After a moment's hesitation, she raised her chin and made a gesture of refusing others, because she knew that Levine was like a chewing gum, which could not be thrown off. She had to make a firm gesture, otherwise, the guy would advance an inch. Every time, there was no exception.

"Where are you going to stay?" Jane's voice was soft but alienated. As soon as she opened her mouth, she made her position clear: it's just to put her luggage. It's absolutely impossible to stay here tonight.

"I don't know." Levine's answer is still Levine's style, but he didn't notice the change in Jane's tone, because he was so tired that he didn't even have the strength to speak, so he didn't have the energy to explore the deep meaning behind those words; Even if he did, he didn't want to care.

"Just two nights." Levine said that he finally made sure his guitar case wouldn't be kicked or bumped. He put his travel bag outside to block the space. He stood up straight, looked at the guitar case and travel bag, and then shook his head. He didn't know why he cared so much about the location of the guitar case, just like a fool.

Then Levine scratched his untidy hair and breathed a sigh of relief. "I'm sure you'll find someone in five blocks who hasn't been pissed off by me." The face was calm and calm, and it seemed to make complaints about the tuckus and black. But it was only a simple fact. After speaking, the corners of the mouth rose slightly, and pulled, but after all, there was no mood for joking, and then it came to an end.

He has self-knowledge.

Jane lowered her eyelids, avoided Levine's gaze, and ignored his self pity, which had no effect on her.

Levine stood in the same place, exchanged his steps, gently tilted his head to hide his impatience, and his voice remained steady. "How do you feel?"

Jane glanced at Levine and replied quietly, "good." But then she noticed the hesitation and hesitation in Levine's eyes. She seemed to be a little nervous and nervous. This is not Levine she is familiar with. The first thought in her mind is that Levine is in trouble again?

But it's not unusual.

Jane gently picked eyebrow tail, "what's the matter?" The cold voice still kept estrangement, made a defensive posture, refused to give any help.

Levine seems to be stuck, quietly looking at Jane's eyes, he can feel the alienation and coldness, and even a high aloofness, he dropped his eyes, puckered his lips, the rest of his vision carefully fell on Jane's abdomen, slowed down his voice, "so that thing is going well?"

Jane noticed Levien's line of sight, and turned a big white eye in a moment, and even looked up at the sky. It seemed that even Tucao did not know where to start. There was a mixture of anger and frustration, and make complaints about his teeth. "Saturday is the operation time."

"Jesus Christ!" Jane's voice rose. She was furious, but she couldn't tell whether it was because she was upset with Levine's stupidity and ignorance, or because she was stupid and ashamed to believe Levine would remember the operation time. "Levine, you can't even remember!"

But this is Levine.

Jane angrily went to the sofa, hugged her knees, curled up in the corner of the sofa, and put on a defensive posture.

Levine's facial features wrinkled up, made an expression of chagrin, and then rubbed the pain of the temple, he also felt very absurd, gently shook his head, his face full of disappointment to himself, "yes, man, I'm sorry, i... I went out, er, it felt like a long time. But it's just a few days. "

Levine turned and looked at Jane. He looked at her quietly. Then he lowered his eyes to avoid Jane's cold eyes. After a moment's hesitation, he sat down directly opposite Jane and thought about it. How many days did he go to Chicago?

From hitchhiking to Chicago, stopping in Chicago, then hitchhiking back to New York, then going to the shipping company to look for a job and sign up, and then going back to my sister's home to look for her crew card, only to find that my sister has lost all her documents, so the crew card is no longer there.

It's like a world away.

But in fact, as like as two peas, the world has become completely different. Or the world is still the same. Time has remained forever in the same place. This kind of feeling, really indescribable, suddenly in a trance.

Then he realized that Jane was still in front of him.

Levine gently retracted his jaw. "Um... Um... I'm sorry." It's repeated and repeated so much that the word "sorry" seems to have lost its meaning.

"Where have you been?" Jane blinked and asked critically.

"... Chicago." Levine's mind still did not slow down, tired and lazy to untie the scarf.

"Why?" Jane could feel Levine's exhaustion from the bottom of her soul. She didn't realize it, and her tone slowed down a little.

Levine untied the scarf and stopped in the same place, as if he was lost in thought: why? Why did he go to Chicago in the first place? Now in retrospect, everything has become blurred, so that the mind a blank.
