The sound of the flute is getting closer and closer, it is no longer the melodious and cheerful that I heard at the beginning, Mu Zhen heard desolation, sadness, and sadness from the intermittent modulation. Obviously, the player is not very skilled in the music, and after blowing a string of notes in a row, he always has to pause for more than ten seconds before he can hear the next sentence. Mu Zhen's heart tightened: "Could it be?" Mu Zhen didn't think about it anymore.

Mu Zhen was still staring intently at the bend of the river, and he wanted to run over, but his legs did not follow, and he waited for the arrival of the piper.

A figure appeared at the bend of the river, judging from the height, The body shape can be seen that the person who came is Hu Guoqing, Mu Zhen's heart is a little heavy, although the flute is not coherent, but this is only the sound heard at the funeral, which does make Mu Zhen a little sad, Mu Zhen, who was originally a little shallow in the tear ducts, now feels that his eyes are moist, he looked up at the sky, the sky is blue and transparent, without the slightest variegation, and looked down at the grass on the river beach, the grass is still green and shiny, spread out into the distance, turned his head to look at the water in the river, the water waves blown by the breeze, and slowly rolled forward like never stopping, the scene is still the same scene, but the mood has a 180-degree reversal, is this reversal just the reason for a song？

When Hu Guoqing's neighbors heard that he went to the hospital to treat his father's illness, Mu Zhen silently prayed that his father would get better, and that he would spend a few minutes standing on the embankment for a few days, praying in his heart for Hu Guoqing, praying that his father would be free from the torture of illness as soon as possible, regain his former health, rekindle the flame of hope in this family life, and let him return to the coveted desk as soon as possible. However, all this seems to be unfulfilled.

Just as Mu Zhen was standing there thinking nonsense, Hu Guoqing walked closer, Mu Zhen looked at his anxious figure, and also walked over to him, Mu Zhen had already seen Hu Guoqing's face, and clearly saw that his eyelids were a little swollen, his hair was a little messy, as if he had just crawled out of the woodwood and grass nest, the flute was horizontal in his hand, and his eyes were a little blank staring at Mu Zhen.

"You, what's wrong with you?" Mu Zhen's first question made Mu Zhen ask knowingly for some reason.

"I'm sorry I haven't come to see you in the past few days!" Hu Guoqing said this, his eyes immediately filled with tears.

"Your grandfather has already told me everything!" Mu Zhen didn't know how to comfort the friend in front of him.

"Did he tell you that I went to the hospital?" asked Hu Guoqing.

"Yes, he said you accompanied your father to the doctor. Mu Zhen continued Hu Guoqing's words.

"When I went, my father was no longer dead, and after I arrived at the hospital, although first aid was given, in the end, I still didn't keep him!" Hu Guoqing sobbed after speaking, and tears fell sharply like beads of broken threads.

Mu Zhen looked at Hu Guoqing's teary eyes, his tears couldn't be controlled, and slipped down his face, Mu Zhen was sad for the misfortune of Hu Guoqing's family, and also regretted what happened to his friends, according to the neighbor's grandfather, his father was a good person, his father was the pillar of the family, such a good person, a pillar of the family, was in middle age with a lot of concern, who knows and is familiar with people, who can not be sad?

"People will eventually follow this path, but sooner or later, don't be overly sad. Mu Zhen didn't know how to say it to make her friend stop her sad tears.

"I don't know how many people have told me that when my father was lying on the bed, our family still had a support, I herded sheep without regrets, and now that people are gone, I suddenly feel as if the beams supporting the house have collapsed, there is no daylight, I really cried to death that day, I grieve for my father's early death, I cry for the misfortune of my family, and I cry for my future!" Hu Guoqing wiped his tears with the back of his empty hand and said.

"There will always be a day in the past, no matter what kind of sadness, what kind of suffering, what kind of grief, it will go with the wind with the passage of time, we people living in reality, we can't give up life because of the deceased, let alone give up our ideals!" Mu Zhen reminded Hu Guoqing.

"In order to heal the disease, in order to handle the funeral, all my sheep were sold, and now I have nothing to do. Hu Guoqing continued.

"You have time, and you have time to study!" Mu Zhen said with a little surprise looking at the depressed Hu Guoqing in front of him.

"But I don't have sheep, how can I use the excuse to see you every day?" Hu Guoqing asked a little puzzled.

"See if you are too sad and confused, there are no sheep, isn't it easier to want to meet here?" Mu Zhen's words seemed to remind Hu Guoqing, and his tears were immediately full of hope and shining like never before.

"Then I'll be able to see you every day here. Hu Guoqing became a little excited.

"Of course, not only can you meet me, do you remember the essay 'My Ideal' that you asked your neighbor's grandfather to bring?" asked Mu Zhen.

"Of course I remember, what's wrong?" Hu Guoqing of course thought about that composition, which he wrote on the night of his return, which was his expression of emotions from the heart, how could he forget it?

"I showed it to Mr. Chen, and after reading it, I appreciated your essay very much, and said that I want to see you, I think when you come back, I must let you see him!" Mu Zhen has been trying to tell Hu Guoqing the good news in the past few days, and hopes that this friend in front of her will see Mr. Chen as soon as possible.

"This, is this okay?" Hu Guoqing suddenly became at a loss, and then expressed all his doubts: "I am not a student of the school, and I will never go to school again to study, why do I go to see him? Besides, I have nothing now, the future is very slim, and what awaits me in the future is unknown, what do you say is the use of me going to see him?"

When Mu Zhen heard Hu Guoqing's words, the friend in front of her immediately became unfamiliar.

"You, how can you say that? You can't just because your father is gone, you don't even want your own ideals and ambitions! The dead are gone, but the living still have to live well, you know, everything you do in the world, your father will look at you in another world, although he is gone, but in the other world, he is always watching you, you have worked hard, he has knowledge underground, don't you understand this?" Mu Zhen's words came from the bottom of his heart, he had all the thoughts when he ran away, it can be said that he came out of another world, and he understood the truth at that time, even adults may not understand.

"Where else can I have any ambitions, and where can I pursue my ideals?" Hu Guoqing replied weakly.

"What are you talking about? What are you talking about? You can't control people's life, old age, sickness and death, and who in the world can control it, and besides, the problem you are encountering now is not that you have lost your relatives, what is so terrible about losing your relatives, what is terrible is what kind of attitude you adopt in the face of difficulties, do you understand?" After Mu Zhen finished speaking, he grabbed Hu Guoqing's empty hand, pressed his other hand on Hu Guoqing's shoulder, and said affectionately: " You still have relatives now, and more importantly, friends, if you are a smart person, and you are now dependent on living relatives and friends, can you still not understand this?" Mu Zhen accentuated his tone a little when he mentioned his friends.

Hu Guoqing was silent for a few minutes and did not speak, obviously Mu Zhen's words had caused a great shock in the depths of his heart. He looked into Mu Zhen's eyes, then looked up at the sky, and said as if he suddenly realized: "The sky is still the same sky, you are also the same as before, the clear river has not changed, the only thing that has changed is myself." ”

"Yes, it's you!" Mu Zhen said with great certainty.

"I regard you as a bosom friend, and I have told you enough, if you can't change yourself, and you can't come out of the pain of your deceased relatives, then you are a wasted person, what is the point of your life, people? You are born to struggle, you are born to overcome difficulties, and you have not struggled, you have not faced difficulties, are you willing to fall?" Mu Zhen didn't know where to get so many new words, he actually said one by one, when he said these words, he felt that he should be most grateful for that late night departure, he found enough reasons to convince himself, and had enough courage to let him turn back to face the difficulties at that time, he won, he defeated himself, these reasons can't convince the friends who have lost their courage and confidence in front of him, guide him to face the difficulties, and meet the new life and new challenges with full enthusiasm?

Hu Guoqing's hand held Mu Zhen's hand tightly, and Mu Zhen felt that Hu Guoqing's hand trembled a little.

"Friend, friend, your eyes are like fiery eyes, read my heart, the blue sky can be proven, the earth can be written, the river can be ink, you and I can shine, the heart is like a mirror reflecting the stars, the road in front of you can lead to the sky, if you are a fish, I am water, if you are a bird, I am a forest, the fish is not away from the water, the bird is not away from the forest, I am willing to accompany you to swim all over the world, I am willing to accompany you to fly all over the forest and river. Don't worry, I will definitely go to see Teacher Chen! I will definitely go back to school to study!" Hu Guoqing let Mu Zhen's words stir up ripples in his heart, he came out of his grief, re-saw the hope of life, rekindled the dream of his youth, and re-read the yearning for the future.

Mu Zhen let go of the hand she was holding and went up to hug this seemingly ordinary friend. He whispered in his ear, "I believe in you, and you will be able to do well enough!"
