Chapter 814: The Brightest Star in the Night Sky
In the afternoon, Su Chen and his group distributed supplies to the children and took a few interactive classes, seeing the children's smiles, Su Chen and the others felt that the hardships along the way were worth it.
In the evening, Su Chen and they set up a tent in the open space outside the school, and in order not to disturb the villagers, Su Chen and they decided to camp.
It was also at this time that Su Chen and the others discovered how weak the only light in the school was, usually these eighteen children wrote their homework in such a dim light, so they could imagine how much damage it did to their eyes.
It was precisely because the sun was setting that Su Chen and the others were able to get a glimpse of the night view of Linningba Village.
It was really pitch black, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that you couldn't see your fingers.
There are no neon lights in the city, no street lights, and even every household is reluctant to turn on the lights.
Although Linningba Village has access to electricity, the people here are used to being simple, and relying on their self-sufficient mountain village to live in a year does not generate much income, or even no income at all.
The family's biggest source of income is the children who go out to work.
Therefore, the people in the village, especially the elderly, are reluctant to turn on the electric lights at all, they all use candles, and some simply go to bed early without turning on the lights.
Seeing this, Su Chen decided to make a phone call, Su Chen wanted to change something.
It's just not easy.
"Su Chen, are you okay? I can't take it anymore! "Because the signal in the mountains is weak, let alone 4G and 5G, even 2G cannot be guaranteed to be available.
Su Chen could only sit on Yan Lei's shoulder and let Yan Lei stand up, and Su Chen himself could make a call from a high place to ensure the smooth signal.
"It's coming, it's coming, you hold on a little longer." Su Chen comforted Yan Lei under him.
Su Chen: "What, is the potato cold cured?" Is it eating now? Do you have any spirit? ”
Yan Lei: "I'm thorough, Su Chen, what about contacting the engineering team?" You actually ask what's wrong with a dog? ”
Yan Lei was about to cry, Su Chen said before that he wanted to install solar street lamps in Linningba Village, and by the way, he renovated the dilapidated houses here, and the simple modular board houses did not need much work to build.
Yan Lei agreed when he heard this, the signal here is not good, Su Chen looked for the signal several times, and found that only by sitting on Yan Lei's shoulder, and then Yan Lei carried Su Chen, Su Chen's mobile phone could be dialed out.
Yan Lei once suspected that Su Chen was colluding with his mobile phone to trick him.
However, because a bonfire was lit in the open space in front of the school tonight, the original intention was to teach the children to sing, and now that so many children are watching, Yan Lei can't be too weak, he really can't say it.
It wasn't until Yan Lei's legs were numb and his shoulders trembled that Su Chen finished making ten phone calls.
Su Chen called "Li Shiqing, Lin Wan'er, Wen Shanshan, One, Mother, Uncle Zhong, the engineering team, the helicopter at Qiangui Airport, the local government, and the Maths Foundation Qiangui Temporary Dispatch Point." ”
"Yan Lei, you can't do it, how long have you been holding on? No wonder other girls want to break up with you. Su Chen hung up the phone and found that Yan Lei was tired and collapsed on the ground, so he couldn't help but say.
Yan Lei was already out of breath and less in at this time, but he just glanced at Su Chen and ignored Su Chen.
As Yan Lei's secretary, Xiaoqing fed Yan Lei water and pinched his legs at this time, and Yan Lei looked like a stupid son of a landlord.
Yan Lei, who was originally the guitarist tonight, is now trembling with his arms, and in the end, he can only be served by Su Chen.
"Students, can I ask Mr. Wang to sing to you?" Su Chen picked up the guitar and said after trying the sound.
"Okay—" replied in unison as a group of children sat around the campfire.
Wang Wenyun was so angry that her teeth itched, Su Chen really didn't know that the sky was high and thick, so he didn't even ask her opinion.
Su Chen didn't look at Wang Wenyun's face, because it was too dark to see clearly.
Su Chen looked at the sky and found that the stars in the sky were particularly bright.
The stars in the sky, which are difficult to see in the city, have you ever had this kind of doubt?
Why do you see the stars in the countryside, but not in the city?
That's because the city's light pollution is so bad that starlight can't penetrate it.
In fact, whether it is in the countryside or in the city, it is the same starry sky, but the latter cannot see clearly because of the medium.
Su Chen looked at the brightest star in the sky from afar, and just kept watching quietly.
A group of children all looked at Su Chen with blank eyes, and said that they would sing to us? Why are you in a daze there.
Wang Wenyun was almost speechless, can you not be distracted at this critical moment?
"Brother Yun!" Su Chen said suddenly.
Wang Wenyun looked at Su Chen with a puzzled expression, not knowing what Su Chen wanted to do.
Su Chen looked at Brother Yun sitting opposite him through the bonfire, and at this time, Brother Yun's face was a little red from the fire, but it was not obvious under the yellow fireworks.
"Sing me "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky", can you sing it?"
Su Chen asked very seriously, Wang Wenyun had never seen Su Chen and Su Chen's expression so serious, so that Wang Wenyun was embarrassed to refuse.
"Yes!" Wang Wenyun nodded.
After receiving an affirmative answer, Su Chen's fingers plucked the strings, and after a while, the melodious sound of the piano floated in the sky above Linningba Village.
"The brightest star in the night sky, can you hear clearly.
The one who looks up, the loneliness and sigh in the bottom of his heart.
The brightest star in the night sky, can you remember.
The figure that once walked with me and disappeared into the wind. ”
Wang Wenyun's beautiful singing voice echoed in Linningba Village.
A group of children holding hands and looking up at the sky.
"I pray for a transparent heart and eyes that shed tears. Give me the courage to believe again, and embrace you beyond the lies. Whenever I can't find the meaning of existence, whenever I get lost in the night. The brightest star in the night sky, please guide me closer to you! ”
Su Chen played the piano while looking at Wang Wenyun who was singing, at this moment, Su Chen's heart was very quiet, maybe the singing voice really cleansed people's hearts, or could the voice of Brother Yun penetrate his heart?
Before singing, Su Chen was still very confused, there were too many things he needed to do, but his ability was too limited.
Before dinner, Su Chen chatted with Xu Jingsheng, and Su Chen had already guessed that Xu Jingsheng was "Longing for Mutian", the master who used to take him to play games.
Su Chen also got the answer from Xu Jingsheng just now.
Xu Jingsheng was very happy, he didn't expect the two to meet in this way.
Su Chen said that he could take him to the king, let him manage the Maths Foundation, and let him help more and more children like Lin Ningba Village.
But Xu Jingsheng refused, Xu Jingsheng said: "Su Chen, thank you very much for helping me so much, I am also very pleased to have such an apprentice as you, I will not go to the foundation, I don't have that ability, king, I won't go up, I don't have that strength, even if I go up, sooner or later I will fall down."
But you are different, you have strength, you are stronger than the master and me, you can do better, you can help more people, it's like, with my ability, I can only help one Linningba village, but you are different, you can help many Linningba villages.
There are some things that always need someone to do, but that person happens to be me. ”
After listening to Xu Jingsheng's words, Su Chen fell into confusion, he couldn't find the meaning of his existence, the master he had always wanted to help, he found it, but he couldn't help him anything, and he couldn't change him.
It's just that at this moment, with Wang Wenyun's singing, Su Chen seemed to understand something.
PS: Thank you for taking off, "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" is one of my favorite songs, my favorite is the version at the 2013 midi concert, I said, many of my characters are actually adapted from real people. Among them, Brother Yun is real, although I have seen comments before that Brother Yun is not real, but in fact, Brother Yun is real, so that Lin Wenxin also exists, Lin Wenxin exists, then potatoes also exist, so who does not exist? The person who doesn't exist is actually Su Chen, how I wish I was Su Chen! You know what? Actually, you don't understand.
