Chapter 81: Xia Cheng's Last Song

When I entered the house, I found that there were already many people sitting inside. As if the entire village had gathered here, Xu Changqing was surrounded by sight, and his face was hot. The leader Zhang Luo is an old man, with sideburns and a white beard, and he is imposing. From the title, it can be heard that he is Matsumura, the owner of the tavern "Ting".

The clothes have been ready for a long time. Xu Changqing changed into a formal black feather weaving, a white foot bag and white straw sandals, and was led to the trail in front of the shrine. Someone hit a red paper umbrella from behind. Two shrine maidens in red and white suits walked up as leads. One of them turned out to be Xiao Ting. Don't look at her young age, after dressing up, it's really like that.

Just stood and waited for a while, and Xia Cheng also came out.

She wears a snow-white kimono and a white cotton hat in the shape of a hood, and the brim of the hat is hidden above the eyes, revealing only a small chin and a slender neck. Seeing Xu Changqing standing under the umbrella, she smiled happily, walked up to him in small steps, and apologized in a low voice: "I'm sorry, it's all my own opinion." ”

Xu Changqing smiled and comforted her in turn: "It's okay, it's good to leave a memory." ”

Under the guidance of the shrine maiden, the two walked side by side and slowly walked towards the shrine. Admission, ritual repair, reciting greetings, and drinking divine wine.

It can be seen that the people of Kishirai do not know the truth. They only knew that Xia Cheng was going to get married, and their joy was beyond words. Especially Uncle Matsumura, Whitebeard shook with a smile. "Go to my tavern at night," he waved boldly, "for free!" It's all free! Hahahaha! ”

It was indeed a hard drink in the evening. People from all walks of life took turns to toast, and there was a great posture of not overturning Xu Changqing. For a while, there was a lot of voice, laughter and singing everywhere. In the small tavern "Ting", the atmosphere is more warm and cheerful than ever.

Xiao Ting secretly ran over and clinked glasses with Xia Cheng with orange juice. "Sister Karen, I wish you happiness. But that guy has superpowers, you have to be careful," she whispered to Xia Cheng, waving her small fist and threatening Xu Changqing, "If you dare to bully Sister Karen...... Hum! ”

On the third day, they returned to Horoza, to the house next to the Blue Bird Bar.

In the morning, Xia Cheng got up early and prepared a Japanese-style breakfast. Rice, grilled salmon, miso soup, and a bottle of warm sake are more special. The wine bottle is snow-white, with two small cherry red glasses, and is placed on a lacquered plate with gold flowers on a black background.

They didn't go anywhere that day, they were in the room all the time. Play games online first, then watch movies. A very funny Jianghu film. Two little yellow hairs who don't understand fart, my father is an overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia and runs a pharmacy. That small country is in turmoil, and the two yellow hairs decide to save their father. happened to meet a beautiful woman on the plane, and the two accosted each other. They didn't expect the airport security check to be so dark, and as soon as they got off the plane, they were arrested and beaten in a small black room. is also lucky, relying on the hard background of the beautiful woman to get out.

Xia Cheng laughed when he saw it, and praised Huang Mao, who played the leading role, for being very handsome.

However, the film is a tragedy at the end. The protagonist takes the heroine in the helicopter and leaves. The heroine was shot several times, so she swallowed her breath silently. At this time, the sad song at the end of the film slowly began to sing, accompanied by her blown hair.

"I envy that heroine." Xia Cheng leaned on Xu Changqing and said softly.

"It's dead."

"But she had her own wedding dress, and she had her own wedding. I believe that I no longer have such an opportunity. That's what life is. Sometimes what you expected, what you thought you had, you don't. I thought I would get married at twenty-three, have my own family, have a husband who loves me, and have a partner who will accompany me for the rest of my life," she said, "but no." ”

At that moment, Xu Changqing really didn't know how to answer. He held Xia Cheng's hand, but he couldn't say anything.

"Haha, just kidding," Xia Cheng pulled his hand from his palm and stood up, "It's noon, I'm going to cook"

Lunch was more generous than breakfast. There are puffer fish sashimi sliced as thin as cicada wings, Ise prawns ghost shell grilled, and chawani steamed eggs. The aperitif is a strawberry wine brewed by the real red bistro "Ting", and there is a fancy ice cream after the meal.

"I sing in the bar at night," Xia Cheng leaned against Xu Changqing and asked in a low voice, "Do you want to listen?" ”

"Of course."

That night, the Blue Bird Bar was boiling. The regular customers spread the news like crazy, and they almost blew up Pine. Many people flew in from Hakodate and beyond, just for one thing: the hostess of the Blue Bird Bar, the mysterious Karen Natsusumi, would perform the concert herself.

She sang song after song until midnight. Finally, it's time for the last song.

She walked to the middle of the stage and sat down among the three violinists. The lights dimmed, and she couldn't see the people in the audience. The pale blue spotlight fell on her, and the silver cheongsam was as cold as smoke.

"The last song is...... Sunset Song. ”

The violinists turned to the sheet music in front of them. She held up the microphone and said with some hesitation, "I think...... From the beginning to the present, my mood is a little confused, and I just feel that every song and every song are so tightly connected...... And then I didn't know what to say. Well...... When I was a kid, when my neighbor's sister went to college, she collected lots and lots of paper bags to put all sorts of things. And then I was envious. I wish I had a lot of pockets for the things I came across that I wanted to keep and sometimes I knew I couldn't......"

A soothing prelude sounds, and as its name suggests, Sunset Song is a farewell piece.

The sun is infinite, and it is only brilliant for a breath

As the clouds fade away, the lost brilliance is gone

The years are delayed, and it is difficult to endure the changes of this life

Like floating clouds gathering and scattering, tangled in the vicissitudes of life

It's been a long road, and I suddenly feel that time has faded

Joy has not returned for a short time, which sees through my dreams is dull

She turned her face slightly, and her left hand, which was not holding the microphone, was raised upwards and spread out into the air. The harmonica sound rises from the chords of the violin and fades away. Her expression was sad and joyful.

On the second floor of the bar, it is still the wooden table where the two first talked, and it is still a glass of snow. Xu Changqing listened quietly. He suddenly realized: Xia Cheng did not understand Chinese, but he sang this Cantonese song in a straight voice. How long has she been practicing in private?

I have encountered a few ups and downs, weaving my staggered dreams

I have met your sincere arm, and accompanied me through tribulation

The center of the rush is gray, and the road is full of twists and turns

One day, I thought about going back but it was too late

For a moment, a cold turbulence rolled down his spine. This song had such magical power that it instantly manipulated his heart. In a trance, I seemed to have traveled into that Jianghu film. In front of you is the chaotic airport, and in your ears are the wind and the noise of helicopters. Xia Cheng lay weakly in her arms, and the strong wind ruffled her hair. I hugged her tightly, but I clearly felt that she was moving away.

At the end of the song, the lights on the stage gradually dimmed. The only light shone on Xia Cheng. She slowly raised the microphone and smiled her last and most perfect smile of the night.

"Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye......"

Goodbye said the third time, tears suddenly gushed out. She smiled and tried to wipe her tears with her hands, but the tears flowed uncontrollably.

※※※

The second volume is also over, so I will write some thoughts.

Xia Cheng is obviously not the intended heroine, but I like this role a lot. She had what she wanted, and she worked hard to get it. It is up to people to plan things, and it is up to heaven to make things happen. It doesn't matter how it ends in the end, as long as you work hard, you have no regrets.

Xia Cheng's testimonial came from Aunt Mei's last concert. Jianghu films actually refer to "The True Colors of Heroes 3" that she and Uncle Fa acted in together, which is a very old film, but there are still things to watch on the Internet. It is recommended that you can go down and read after reading this chapter, the old is old, and the classics are unchanged.

In the next volume, the heroine will really appear, so stay tuned.

Some book friends suggested in the group that this book should be advertised more. But the author only knows how to bury his head in writing books, and he really has no experience in advertising. If you have good suggestions, please send a book review and be sure to adopt them.
