Xiao Tang was a little confused and asked: "Brother Han, how do you think we can get a jeep? Not only does a big jeep take up space, it also consumes gas, and it's also stuck in traffic jams all day long. I used to be afraid of traffic jams in Beijing. , if we were in Harbin, I would be even more afraid!"
Old Han said plausibly: "What do you know, kid? Big jeeps consume gas, but why don't you say that big jeeps can drive on all road conditions and are built to carry them! Although driving big jeeps consumes more gas, but You have overlooked the advantages of the big Jeep, which is that it can be driven when it is cold in winter and the road is slippery. It has a strong grip, can also be switched to four-wheel drive, and basically will not get stuck in a pit. It is also shockproof and anti-shock. The bumpy performance is also good, so a large Jeep is more suitable. (Updated quickly Piao Astronomy Network) "
Xiao Tang was so deceived by Old Han that he immediately asked: "Then why do the hippies wearing Harley-Davidson uniforms in American TV series disdain to use other means of transportation except riding Harley-Davidson motorcycles? What do you mean? I¡¯m wearing a Harley leather jacket and driving a big Jeep, it doesn¡¯t even match it!¡±
Hearing what Xiao Tang said, Old Han laughed and said: "What do Americans play? They play heartbeats. What you said is because you didn't look carefully. In addition to matching Harley motorcycles, Americans also play modifications. The classic cars in the city are all quite stylish. For example, in the American TV series "Supernatural", the car is equipped with a 1967 Chevrolet classic car, but you can get a classic classic car on the road in Harbin. Is it? Even though it comes with a package, don¡¯t forget that the car has already passed the annual inspection time limit, and there is a new problem, that is, even if you buy a second-hand large Jeep, it will save more fuel than an American car!"
After hearing what Old Han said, Xiao Tang was a little downcast and kept his head down without speaking. However, Old Han already knew what was going on, so he immediately said: "Actually, if you watch the American TV series "True Blood", there are many more In the American TV series, there are many people wearing leather jackets and matching their own modified pickup trucks, or large jeeps, but pickup trucks are now classified as agricultural vehicles, and you still can't drive them on the main streets, so pickup trucks are basically rejected. , the only thing left is the big Jeep. After buying the big Jeep, I will give you a contact person, and then we will simply modify it, install flashlights and outdoor strong lights, and then put them on the body of the car. Just put on various stickers and that's it. If possible, you can discuss with Boss Xifeng to put up the National Security Bureau brand, and then someone will pay for the second ring fee, annual inspection, and other random money, and you can do it yourself There¡¯s only one gas left, so it¡¯s almost the same as the cost of your own private car.¡±
Xiao Tang felt that this matter was extremely frustrating, but in the end he still asked with a glimmer of hope: "Brother Han, don't you think we can't get a classic car? Even if it's an old-fashioned Lada made in Russia, or a Fiat , or an old-fashioned Hongqi or Shanghai sedan will do. I really don¡¯t like big jeeps. Nowadays, except for the American Cherokee, most of them are Japanese Mitsubishi, Toyota or Honda. I really don¡¯t want to Driving a Japanese car.¡±
Lao Han frowned, and then said: "Indeed, I don't like Japanese things either, but do we have to buy Japanese cars? Let's not talk about Japanese cars first, let's study and get a second-hand Beijing Jeep SUV, and Or Great Wall SUVs are also fine! You don¡¯t have to buy Japanese ones. Besides, the old Russian-made Lada or Fiat, the old ones can¡¯t be approved as brands at all, and the new ones have no effect, and then there are the old ones. Hongqi or Shanghai, even if you really get a car, you can't drive it on the road! There's no need to spend that kind of money, so it's best to get a big jeep that's more practical and not very ostentatious."
Xiao Tang was a little unhappy here, and immediately said: "Getting a big jeep that has been modified and covered with colorful lights and stickers is not ostentatious enough. It is also low-key. Brother Han, tell me, what is high-profile? , what does it mean to be public, do I have some ideas in mind?"
But Lao Han smiled and said: "If I want to make something flamboyant, then I will go directly to those who modify cars and buy a second-hand extended Lincoln, or an extended Mercedes, or an extended Hummer, but these are all It¡¯s not the ultimate thing. Actually, I want to get a bulletproof and extended Songhuajiang. If I drive it on the road, it will be difficult for others not to look back!¡±
Xiao Tang was defeated by Old Han. Fortunately, Old Han didn't want to buy a second-hand large jeep, and then find a car modification place to modify the second-hand large jeep into a bulletproof and extended one. If that were the case , he suddenly became the target of public criticism! So Xiao Tang here immediately said: "Well, Brother Han, Christmas is just half a month away. I will go and look at second-hand cars first, study about getting a second-hand car, and then go and buy it." Let¡¯s talk about the bureau¡¯s brand, and then we¡¯ll study the next plan.¡±
The old Han thief smiled and waved to Xiao Tang. I will go to Taobao now.First, I will help you research fake watches, lighters and belts. You can first research leather shoes and jeans, as well as jewelry and bracelets. Match them here first. Then, after buying satin, go to the clothing store to customize two Tang suits or something. Yes, and for leather jackets, it would be best if there are ready-made ones. If there are no ready-made ones, then you should research and go to a tailor shop to see if they can make a suit tailor-made"
Xiao Tang, who couldn't stand Lao Han, hurriedly went out and stayed with Lao Han. One more summary might make him collapse. Here, Xiao Tang was considered to be collapsed. Without saying a word, he Go straight to the second-hand car market and research about getting a second-hand Jeep. Lao Han, on the other hand, continues to watch American TV series online. Anyway, he is now under house arrest and cannot run around like he is having fun
To make a long story short, two weeks later, Xiao Tang followed Lao Han¡¯s method and bought a second-hand Beijing Jeep. Of course, it was not a big Jeep like the Cherokee, but a very ordinary, silver-white Beijing Jeep. It is said that The fuel consumption is pretty good, not too big, and after two weeks of purchasing and training, Xiao Tang should be considered a relatively capable young man now, and he didn't tell Xiao Lingdang anything during this period. It was such a normal life until December 22nd when we made an appointment with Xiao Ling Dang to spend Christmas together. Xiao Ling Dang's original intention was to work comfortably in Dafeng's shop, but she couldn't stand Xiao Tang's push and hardness. Pao, finally Xiao Tang also agreed that after Christmas Eve, he would personally send her back, and he swore to express his feelings and would definitely pick her up and drop her off.
Little Bell came out at four o'clock in the afternoon, wearing a high-necked milky white woolen sweater, a pair of washed jeans, a pair of fashionable little leather boots, and a red down jacket and windbreaker, with simple hair. I tied a ponytail and came out with basically no makeup except for applying some foundation on my face. I didn¡¯t pay much attention to Xiao Tang at first, so I didn¡¯t do much to clean up and just came out simply.
As soon as I reached the agreed intersection, I saw a silver-white Beijing Jeep across the street flashing its lights at me twice. To deal with such teasing, usually the little bell would be ignored, until the car with the colorful stickers on it The Beijing Jeep honked the horn twice more, and then Little Bell turned his head in disgust, which was a direct and sustainable disregard.
But as soon as the horn sound stopped, the mobile phone on my body rang. I took it out and saw that it was Xiao Tang's phone. Just when Xiao Zingdang was about to answer the call, the other party hung up, and then I heard someone shouting in the distance. He said: "Little bell, get in the car, even if I shine the car lights on you or honk the horn, it won't work. How could you promise me in vain"
Xiao Ling Ding looked at the Beijing Jeep not far away and saw Xiao Tang rolling down the window and shouting to him. At that time, Xiao Ling Ding was dumbfounded. He didn't know where Xiao Tang got such a stupid car. It's a loud Beijing Jeep, and it's equipped with luggage racks and bright lights. It looks like it's going out for a camping trip.
Fortunately, it was not completely dark yet. Xiao Lingdang hurried over, opened the car door, sat down in the passenger seat, and then closed the door. Fortunately, the heater was turned on in the car, and It's not too cold, but the feeling of the warm air blowing on the face is still not very comfortable. Winter in Harbin is already dry, and although the feeling of such hot air blowing on the face is warm, it is still not very good for the skin. .
As soon as he got in the car, he casually glanced at Xiao Tang's attire. Xiao Lingdang was almost shocked. Xiao Tang was wearing a set of thickened bamboo charcoal thermal underwear, and then a plaid shirt, which was buttoned up. It's not fastened either. The lower body is also a pair of jeans that have been washed white, and under the feet is a pair of American cowboy boots, and there are even rotating spurs on the back of the boots! There was a genuine leather Harley jacket thrown on the back seat of the car. Look at Xiao Tang wearing a thin platinum necklace around his neck, a military multifunctional watch on his left hand, a platinum bracelet on his right hand, a platinum ring on his left index finger, and a simple and elegant Dunhill on his waist. The belt, the beard deliberately kept short black stubble, and the hair was deliberately styled with moisturizing gel. Fortunately, there were no earrings or nose rings, otherwise I would have thought that I had met a street gangster from Ameriken. It¡¯s over!
Seeing Xiao Lingdang's mouth open in surprise and speechless, Xiao Tang suddenly found confidence in his own style. Brother Han is more experienced. As expected, people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles, so he changed into a new suit. Ye Ye was so good that Xiao Lingdang stared at him for such a long time. If it hadn't been for Old Han's guidance, it would have been difficult for Xiao Lingdang to look at him.
So Xiao Tang was in a better mood and said immediately: "Let's go watch a movie first! I have already bought tickets at Wanda. After watching the movie, we will go out to eat. After the meal, someone will probably set off fireworks by the river. After watching the fireworks, let¡¯s look into finding a place to hang out in a bar or something, or go shopping with you.You know, I can't stay out for too long during the day, otherwise I'll go shopping with you! "
Xiao Lingdang didn't say anything. After all, Xiao Tang and she were just ordinary friends, so she just nodded lightly. Xiao Tang smiled and immediately stepped on the accelerator. The car sped out and saw the people outside. The sky was getting darker and darker, so Xiao Tang turned on the high beam. But when Xiao Tang turned on the high beam, even the little bell was so surprised that the colored lights inlaid on the car began to flash. Yes, I guess if you saw it outside, it would be extremely dazzling with the stickers on the car body.
He was surprised to see Xiao Ling Dang, so Xiao Tang explained while driving: "I said I wanted to buy a car, and discussed it with Brother Han. Brother Han gave me the advice to buy a jeep. Such a car is more It's built to be durable, and it's not easy to slip in the north. What's more, now that I'm registered with the National Security Agency, I can save all kinds of messy expenses. I just pay for the gas myself. How about it? Do you like it?"
Xiao Lingdang suppressed a smile here for a long time. One look at Xiao Tang's outfit, and he knew that it must be Old Han who was giving him advice behind his back. If it weren't for that guy Old Han, Xiao Tang would be such a silly person. , how could you be so unconventional and dress yourself up like this! However, I don't really care about Xiao Tang's appearance, but when he is in the circle of his classmates or friends, if Xiao Tang dresses like this, he should be able to get a lot of points.
However, Xiao Lingdang and Xiao Tang are just a little closer than ordinary friends. Naturally, they have to continue to remain reserved, so they said: "What does it have to do with me whether you like it or not? The car is your car! Besides, if If I don¡¯t want to join in the fun with a lot of them this Christmas, I probably won¡¯t be able to celebrate the holiday with you!¡±
Xiao Tang giggled for a long time. Lao Han had already said during the training that the more she crosses her nose and raises her eyes at you, the better. This can prove that she is losing her temper with you. If it is not a normal relationship, who will be fine? Getting angry with you? So you must become more and more courageous the more frustrated you are, the more cold and cold you see her, the more shameless you have to get close to her! So now Xiao Tang quickly turned on the car stereo, and happened to catch up with the Eagles' "Hotel California" playing on the MP3.
This song can be said to be a masterpiece completed by Eagles in their best condition and with the best combination. It is a diamond-level golden song full of weird and moving melody. Just looking at the lyrics and a few words, it almost sounds like it was written in the 1970s. All the sorrow and confusion of the era are gone. This song "Hotel California" topped the charts for 8 consecutive weeks in 1977. The special feature of "Hotel California" is the double guitar effect played by Don-felder and Joe-Walsh. Ranked eleventh on Rolling Stone's list of the 100 Greatest English Songs.
Some people think that the Hotel California in the song does exist, and there are three versions of it: hotel, drug rehabilitation center, and mental hospital. It is obviously more convincing that Hotel California is a symbol of the virtual finger than looking for it on the ground. The song symbolizes the music industry, life in Los Angeles, and American society.
Those who believe the hotel does exist have found everything they need in the small town of Todossantos in Southern California. The town is located next to the desert of the Southern California highway. There is a hotel in the town that looks like a record cover. Not far from the hotel is a church that will ring bells in the middle of the night. This hotel used to have a secret place. Sex and pornographic transactions. The owner of the hotel claims that this is the "Hotel California" in the song, but in the history of the town, the name change of the hotel did not occur until the 1980s after the song became popular. In the late 1990s, several newspapers began to publish the story of this authentic "Hotel California", which finally led to an official denial by songwriter Don Henley in 2000: The members of the Eagles had never been here.
The song itself contains several allusions to drugs, which is the source of the theory that Hotel California was originally a drug rehabilitation center. According to this statement: Hotel California is a voluntary drug rehabilitation center along the highway in Southern California. The Eagles' experience of drug abuse and hospitalization was the source of the lyrics. The lyrics at the beginning hint at colitas, the feeling of heavy hair that is characteristic of marijuana smoke. "Litupacandle" is a common term for people who are addicted to drugs in the house. Dancing in the backyard is a phenomenon of uncontrollable seizures after drug abuse. This kind of voluntary detoxification center is mainly opened for the middle class, which is somewhere between a nursing home and a drug rehabilitation center. The phenomenon of promiscuity and promiscuity is the norm after the debauchery of the middle class in the 1970s. Drug addiction allows you to recover at a certain period of time and leave the drug rehabilitation center, but you can never get rid of the shadow of falling back on the old track. This is the portrayal of "you can settle the bill for a while, but you can never leave."
The weirdness of the lyrics may be the source of the mental hospital theory. The associated hints in the lyrics include: constant auditory hallucinations of distant voices; heaven and hell refer to the evil human nature of some mental patients, such as demons, and the pure and unconscious nature of angels; the patients in the backyard are like possessedDance; distorted thoughts are the direct words of mental illness; prisoners of one's own thoughts are also code words; mental hallucinations of wanting to kill the devil but never being able to. Of course, mental illness is the same as drugs. You may feel that you are normal for the time being, but there is no guarantee that you will be normal in the future and you will never be able to leave the shadow. The 1970s was a time when horror films were popular in the film industry, and these lyrics outline such a story frame. The lonely person on the remote desert road, the beauty holding the candle in front of the door, the mysterious waiter at the bar, the demon-summoning dance in the backyard, the demon who tries to kill but cannot be killed, and even if it ends, someone will always come from behind to remind him that there is the end of the sequel. . All these give the lyrics a ghostly feeling, and in horror films, mental hospitals are more often the main background place.
