Dongfang Yue stood leisurely on the slightly hot dark gray deck with his hands behind his back, bathed in the hot afternoon sun, his eyes staring at the horizontal and endless sea in front of him, and his thoughts had already drifted leisurely into the distance.

Every time he looked at the sea, his heart was filled with endless pride, perhaps he was born to belong to the sea, and he once called himself the son of the sea. But if you think he's a great guy, you're wrong—he's just the captain of a medium-sized cargo ship.

If there is something outstanding about him as a captain, it may be that his job position when he was young was a little different: the captain of a certain type of frigate of the former Navy. But in the blink of an eye, he has been retired for two years, and he has completely transformed into the most ordinary searunner, an "old captain" who only manages 12 crew members - he is not very old, but he is really an old captain.

Compared with the scenery of managing more than 200 sailors in the past, today's cargo voyage is really a world of difference; these sailors come to the ship to support their families, and they can listen to the captain's words if they like to listen to them, and no one can help them.

Thinking about these old events and the daily trivialities of the present, Dongfang Yue slowly turned a few passages in the cabin, then gently dragged the handrail of the gangway, climbed up to the second deck with agile movements, and walked to his room.

A faint smile spread across his face, and the best friend in the house, who had been sailing with him all year round, knew best what he was interested in in the evening.

In the captain's room sat a young man of no more than thirty years of age, who was the only doctor on board, except for the captain and the chief engineer, who was the highest-ranking person on an ocean-going vessel. Who doesn't have a headache and brain fever, who doesn't have a fever and a cold, who doesn't have an unexpected illness, living on this freighter that often sails, the importance of the doctor is sometimes more prominent than the captain.

However, the biggest advantage of this guy is not his medical and surgical profession, he actually plays the piano well: the six-stringed piano, that is, the guitar, and our Oriental Captain happens to be a bosom friend.

The people in the room heard the footsteps, but they didn't react at all, but continued to play with the acoustic guitar in their arms, completely forgetful, as if they were immersed in their own world, and there was nothing else in their eyes. The price of this guitar is expensive, it is specially customized, it cannot be purchased on the market, it can be purchased through the direct contact between the online sales platform and the manufacturer, the price of this guitar is 20,000 yuan! It is expensive enough, but just look at the material of the piano case, you will feel that it is worth the money, and then listen to its timbre, mellow and full, the cavity vibration reverberates for a long time, it is really a good object, especially for string professionals, this is definitely a good piano.

His name was Mulen, the surgeon of the freighter Lisha, and a maverick guitarist.

Dongfang Yue stood at the door, but did not immediately step into the threshold, the song he was playing had already attracted him, this was obviously a new song, he had never heard Mu Lian play, the style of music was sometimes melodious, sometimes sonorous, sometimes low, sometimes delicate, sometimes soft, such as crying and refreshing people's hearts; What kind of feelings does this song express, and can make his tough guy's heart shake and his imagination flutter?

After about a quarter of an hour, Dongfang Yue slowly walked into his room, sat on the special swivel chair in the captain's room, he thought about it, and then leaned over and took out the trumpet that had been treasured for many years from the box under the iron table, he had not touched such a musical instrument for many years, and today he had an inexplicable impulse. This is a somewhat patina instrument, but the same price is expensive, brass instruments will be slightly more expensive than national instruments, not to mention that this is also a "name" - the relics of his teacher, Dongfang Yue once worshipped the trumpet master Qian Xianghe as a teacher, and learned art for more than ten years, not for a living, just for interest. Of course, he has participated in a variety of professional and amateur performances, and during his service, he has also participated in various competitions and won many awards.

However, these have become memories, and after retiring, this trumpet has been sealed for more than two years and has never been touched.

Dongfang Yue gently stroked the body of the trumpet, the copper surface gave his palm a familiar touch; the three mechanical buttons directly above the trumpet were already a little stuck, thinking that it was because there had been no maintenance for too long, the lubricating oil had been exhausted, Dongfang Yue didn't mind, just tapped these buttons back and forth with his smart fingers, until the screw no longer rattled, he smiled slightly.

If you don't use it anymore, it's going to be an antique, he laughed at himself.

Fortunately, it was barely usable, so he put on a rather heavy copper mouthpiece and tried to make some sounds, fortunately, this trumpet was close to 10,000 yuan, although the surface was mottled with patina, but the sound was still high-spirited and pure. Mu Lian finally glanced up at him, a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

For those who like music, it doesn't take too many words to communicate.

Dongfang Yue's brass blowing skills were a little rusty at first, but soon, he kept up with the rhythm of Mu Lian, and this old trumpet was still able to produce a stirring and clear treble voice normally, which was indeed much beyond his expectations, and slowly, Dongfang Yue's thoughts also merged into the artistic conception of the guitar music.

The sound of the trumpet is melodious, and the sound of the piano jumps, which is natural.

Both of them were enchanted, playing only with the flow of their hearts, and the two instruments belonged to different keys and ranges, but they did not affect the flow of the whole piece in one go, until the last note was heard, and the echo lingered in the room for a long time.

The two glanced at each other, both slightly distracted.

Half a day——

Dongfang Yuecai said in a deep voice: "Good song! good song...... he then asked curiously, "I just don't know what the name of this song is?"

Mu Lian actually shook his head gloomily: "Today's whimsical idea is just playing on a random basis, and I haven't thought of any suitable song titles......"

"I see that your long-lost trumpet is also quite popular, why don't you come up with a name for this song?" Mu Lian smiled slightly and proposed.

Dongfang Yue nodded, but he didn't make a hasty decision, the title of a song is also very crucial, and the slightest carelessness will bury its artistic conception, so he still has a question.

"Why did you play this piece all of a sudden?" he first had to know why.

Mu Lian sighed: "Actually, there is no special reason, but on a whim today, I suddenly thought of the bits and pieces of begging for life at sea for so many years, thinking of the vast blue waves that have no wind and three feet waves, dangerous and everywhere, and thinking of those boring and boring voyages, I feel infinite emotion...... That's all. ”

Dongfang Yue didn't speak, the thoughts that had been interrupted just now seemed to be suddenly aroused again, and his eyes seemed to be a little confused.

"Yes, that's exactly what I think of, but in my experience, there are more ups and downs of life, more disturbances of the world, more confusion and loneliness in times of setbacks...... Different means to the same end. ”

Mu Lian said happily: "In this way, we should record this piece and organize it into a book, so that he can play it again in the future, what do you think of this proposal?"

"It's good, it's good, after all, there is still a lack of a suitable song title, which is a little regrettable. Dongfang Yue lowered his head and pondered.

Mu Lian's eyes fell through the porthole of the captain's room to the water antenna clearly visible in the distance, and the sun's glow reflected on the sea surface pulled out a touch of golden glittering waterway on the calm sea, like a dazzling golden dragon lying in the blue satin to help the world.

His heart fluttered, and he seemed to have some unique ideas.

Dongfang Yue's gaze fell on the white walls and bean-green floors in the room, and the pure white light in the room was mixed with the golden halo that penetrated through the portholes, making these dead things also glow seductively. What a charming situation that can easily dissolve the loneliness and loneliness of the voyager.

Suddenly-

The two almost unanimously shouted: Sea Requiem!

yes, Requiem.

Annotations:

1. The melody and lyrics of "Sea Requiem".

(1) Melody: The first section is a soft and soothing solo string piece, and the jumping melody shows the charming scenery and unique life of the ocean; soon, the music is mutated and transformed by a strong strumming method, and then the Sanskrit sound is used to play the background of the mysterious sea, which may also be a kind of warning; the main melody adopts the finger bounce board technique, the hook string technique, and a large number of portamentos, pushes, The sound of the trumpet is cut from the melody describing the boring life of ocean voyages, and the positive and negative tones fully reflect the deep struggles and contradictions of people, as well as the tenacious and tenacious attitude to life, and the determination and courage to forge ahead despite all difficulties. Finally, when danger comes, the strings become slower, the trumpets are more high, the main spin is led by trumpets, the strings are harmonized, and the whole piece ends with a guitar solo, and the final piece seems calm and full of unyielding fighting spirit in the face of adversity, like a letter in the sky, and this is the whole melodic direction of the Sea Requiem.
