Merida returned to the deck just before dusk. At this time, she was used to seeing the blue waves and blue sky, white clouds and seagulls, and even the magnificence of the remnant sun paving the water, half of the river and half of the red river, she was a little accustomed to it. But for some reason, every morning and evening, she came to this deck to listen to the little adult-like Qingguo child, teaching his younger brothers to sing over and over again.

When Merida came to the place where she was relaying in the morning, she suddenly let out a "huh", because she was surprised to find that the people dressed in Japanese clothes were not waiting for her there as usual. Merida suddenly felt a little lost, but also a little happy, more than others can persevere, to be able to listen to the singing of the Qingguo child alone, for her, there is also a little happiness in her heart.

Who knew that she took a closer look, but found that two of the Japanese children had changed their faces and changed into Qing clothes, and they were actually sitting in front of the little adults, listening carefully. This made Merida so angry and annoyed, and she couldn't help but snort heavily.

This "huh" and "hum" are eye-catching. Fang Xinru turned around and saw that it was Merida, so he burst out laughing. Seeing this, Fang Xiaoru immediately glared at his younger brother, Fang Xinru saw this, shrank his shoulders in fright, and immediately stood solemnly to listen to the lecture, not daring to move a little. The Miyamoto brothers, who caused this incident, heard this "huh" and "hum", their faces turned red, and the Japanese often lowered their heads, but now, their heads are lower.

Zhu Qiu turned his head, expecting that it was her, and seeing that it was really her, he smiled slightly and went to teach his class again.

Perhaps seeing Merida coming, Zhu Qiu quickly ended today's schoolwork:

"You can't do without Hongyi, there is a long way to go!"

"You can't do without Hongyi, and you have a long way to go."

"Okay, that's all for today.

I have spare time, and today I still teach you a new song, the song is the voice of the heart, and you can also cultivate yourself, Yoshio Yiying is a Japanese national, so this time I will teach you the song, there are three kinds of words in Chinese, Japanese, and English. Let's start by teaching you Japanese words. ”

Then Zhu Qiu sang:

"更け行く秋の夜 旅の空の わびしき思いに ひとりなやむ

恋しやふるさと なつかしParents 夢路にたどるは 故郷(さと)の家路

更け行く秋の夜 旅の空の わびしき思いに ひとりなやむ

窓うつ嵐に 夢もやぶれ 遥けき彼方に こころ迷う

恋しやふるさと なつかしParents (ちちはは) 思いに浮かぶは 杜(もり)のこずえ

窓うつ嵐に 夢もやぶれ 遥けき彼方に 心まよう"

After a song, Yoshihide Miyamoto and Yoshio Miyamoto both burst into tears, stained with their clothes. Zhu Qiu paused for a while, and the other party Xiaoru and Fang Xinru said: "There is no difference between high and low language, it is just a tool for communication. In the future, you should also learn to speak Japanese from the Miyamoto brothers, and when you get to Hawaii and settle down, we will study it carefully. ”

After Zhu Qiu finished speaking, seeing that the two Miyamoto brothers gradually stopped their grief, they calmed down, and explained the meaning of the Japanese words to a few people, so they taught the four of them to sing this song a few times and familiarize themselves with the lyrics of the tune.

Zhu Qiu saw that several people learned quickly, and although Fang Xiaoru and Fang Xinru did not understand Japanese, they also sang like a person, and they were very happy. Without pausing, he sang the Chinese lyrics:

"Outside the pavilion,

Ancient roadside,

The grass is green.

The evening breeze blows the willow flute,

Sunset Mountain Outer Mountain.

The End of the Sky,

Cape of the Sea,

Half of the acquaintances are scattered.

A cloudy wine is full of joy,

Don't dream cold tonight. ”

Xu Xilin was originally leaning on the railing, listening slightly relaxed, but when he heard the Chinese lyrics at the moment, he couldn't help but sigh, and couldn't help but softly read the words he remembered when he was a teenager:

"Blue clouds, yellow leaves, autumn colors, cold smoke and green on the waves.

The mountains reflect the slanting sun and the sky receives water, and the grass is ruthless, and it is outside the slanting sun.

The soul of the dark country, chasing travel thoughts, night and night, good dreams leave people to sleep.

Mingyue Lou is high and recess alone, and the wine is sad and turns into lovesick tears. ”

…… …… …… …… …… …… …… …… …… ……

Words have old meanings, and people are also far away; The remnant sun is blue and the seabirds are flying; The children's voices are sad, and the people are sad.

After a song, the people on the boat, knowing and not knowing, all have the meaning of tears.

After a long time, Merida choked up and called everyone out of this song. Seeing that Merida was so emotional, Zhu Qiu asked, "What's your name?" ”

Merida sobbed and replied, "I—My name is Merida." ”

"Have you ever studied Chinese? Do you know the meaning of this song? ”

Merida replied, "No, I don't understand." ”

didn't wait for Zhu Qiu to ask again, Xu Xilin couldn't help but ask: "Then why are you crying?" ”

"Listening to your song, I think of Moen, and I don't know how he's doing now."

Xu Xilin sighed slightly, sure enough, only music has never had national boundaries.

Zhu Qiu beckoned, called Merida over, comforted her softly, and when she calmed down, she carefully taught this word to a few people, this time, even Xu Xilin hummed softly.

Because the tune is very familiar, and the Chinese lyrics are so elegant and catchy, Zhu Qiu only taught it once, and even Xu Xilin and Merida, who don't know much Chinese, can sing very emotionally. Especially Merida, a clear female voice and children's voice, sang this farewell, although it was a little inaccurate, which was a flaw, but it still sounded like a Buddha.

Zhu Qiu taught, quietly listened to Merida's solo singing, and said to her with a smile: "Although you don't know the meaning of the words, listening to you sing the lyrics is more sincere and touching than me, and your musical talent is far better than ours." ”

Merida choked up just now, slightly embarrassed, but after listening to Zhu Qiu's praise, she became a little proud, and said: "Of course I have to sing better than you, you know, music, but the soul of our gypsies!" ”

When he said this, everyone laughed together. Even Xu Xilin couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

Merida was laughed at by a few people, but she was a little embarrassed.

Zhu Qiu also smiled, and returned to his teaching after a while: "This song was originally written by an American, and the original words are not particularly attractive, I still sing it again, you can listen to it a little:

“Dreaming of home，dear old home!

Home of my childhood and mother;

Oft when I wake 'tis sweet to find，

I've been dreaming of home and mother;

Childhood has come，come again，

Sleeping I see my dear mother;

See her loved form beside me kneel。

While I'm dreaming of home and mother.

Mother dear，whisper to me now，

Tell me of my sister and my brother;

Now I feel thy hand upon my brow，

Yes，I'm dreaming of home and mother”

After Zhu Qiu finished singing, there were very few peacemakers, which was very different from the scene just now, like a world of earth. But not far from the deck, when those Zhu Qiu got on the ship, they had been paying some attention, and those who were looking for an opportunity to approach were a little emotional. When Zhu Qiu saw it, as soon as his mind turned, he thought of a method and had the heart to try it.

Zhu Qiu sang the English lyrics softly again, and then said to his four students: "The original English words are not particularly good, you just have a rough impression." I will teach you another English song that you should learn today, and you need to learn it carefully. Still, I sang it first and listened carefully. ”

A few people who listened to the song, even Xu Xilin, were a little strange, so decent, why did they suddenly want to teach another song? Although Xu Xilin's English is not good, listening to the original English words, it is indeed not very exquisite, but it is also very suitable to do school music. Everyone was wondering to themselves, listening to Zhu Qiu already singing:

“on a wagon bound for market

there“s a calf with a mournful eye

high above him there“s a swallow

winging swiftly through the sky

how the winds are laughing

they laugh with all their might

laugh and laugh the whole day through

and half the summer“s night

donna donna.

stop complaining ,said the farmer

who told you a calf to be

why don“t you have wings to fly with

like the swallow so proud and free?

how the winds are laughing

they laugh with all their might

laugh and laugh the whole day through

and half the summer“s night

donna donna.

calves are easily bound and slaughtered

never knowing the reason why

but whoever treasures freedom

like the swallow has learned to fly

how the winds are laughing

they laugh with all their might

laugh and laugh the whole day through

and half the summer“s night

donna donna.”

After a song, Xu Xilin became more and more strange, Zhu Qiu's song is clearly a national tune, used for school enlightenment, although it is also possible, but it is obviously not as good as a farewell song.

Just as Xu Xilin was pondering Zhu Qiu's intentions, from the deck not far away, there were a few choked voices in the wind, followed by a childish voice crying: "Mom, I want Mom, Mom ......" followed by the voice of comfort, the voice of advice, and the sound of sighing. But that childish voice, mixed with so many voices, was still drifting in the wind, tugging at the hearts of the other voices.

Xu Xilin didn't care, thinking it was just a coincidence. On this deck, there are more than a hundred people coming and going, all shapes and shapes. Some of the reserved aristocrats talk about the volcano of Martinique, or the alliance that has just been signed between Britain and Japan, but more often than not, people who have lost their livelihood in the South Seas, immigrants who intend to go to the Americas in search of a new life, often with the old and the young, are the most noisy and the most short-sighted.

Xu Xilin didn't care, but Zhu Qiu was very attentive, and when he saw the singing passing, there was some noise on that side, and the sound made him have some hope in his heart, but when he patiently taught the song "Donna Donna" over and over again to a few smart students, several of whom had already learned it thoroughly, but still did not wait for the effect he expected.

Zhu Qiu was a little disappointed, and saw that it was still the usual over there, so he had to sigh, turned around, and said to a few people: "Today, let's stop here." You can go play on your own. ”

Hearing these long-awaited words that had been long overdue and had been a long time later than usual, Fang Xinru cheered and jumped up with joy; The Miyamoto brothers also let out a long breath and liked the color; Only Fang Xiaoru respectfully gave his brother a teacher's salute, paced slowly to the side, recited the words, and recalled today's lesson. The Miyamoto brothers also learned filial piety, and after saluting, they went to the class - but Fang Xinru had already flown with Merida and flew into the distance.

When Zhu Qiu saw their free figures, he also felt light, and was about to turn around to talk to Xu Xilin, when he suddenly heard a vicissitudes of life voice asking:

"Young man, how can you, how can you sing the ballads of our people?"
