On the side of the ancient road outside the long pavilion

The grass is green

The evening breeze blows the willow flute

Sunset Mountain Outer Mountain

The ends of the earth

Half of the acquaintances are scattered

A pot of turbid wine is full of joy

Don't dream cold tonight

A glass of wine

The sound is out of the flute

Ask you when you will be gone

Don't linger when you come

***

The lyrics are simple, and the length of the song is not too long.

But the sadness of parting has come out of the song.

The soundtrack is also a simple flute, ethereal, as if it can dissipate in the wind at any time.

Confidants are finally separating.

The old man, whose hair had already grayed, listened to the song over and over again.

With tears in his eyes, he didn't know what he remembered.

When Grandpa Cheng finally turned off the music, Aunt Zhang also calmed down her nervousness.

She also likes this song, but she feels that on a stage like the original singer, this song may not be pleasing much.

But if Grandpa Cheng and Li Zhiyan both insisted, she also decided to support it.

Anyway, Li Zhiyan, who can write such a song in one day, has a talent worth excavating.

Even if there is one less original singer, it doesn't necessarily mean that it can't be a hit.

Grandpa Cheng quietly turned sideways, raised his hand, wiped the corners of his eyes, and then turned back and looked at Li Zhiyan seriously.

"Smoke girl, have you decided to use this song to participate in the competition?"

"I've decided." Li Zhiyan nodded solemnly, "Grandpa Cheng, the original singer is a contestant in each issue, six of which are left over from the previous issue, one is a newcomer, and the last one is eliminated." ”

"I just need to be in the first round and not be the last one! With this song, I don't think I'm going to be the last, right? ”

The corners of her lips were slightly hooked, and her smile was determined and wanton.

Only in the eyes, a touch of sadness, can't be dispersed.

Complex and contradictory emotions appear at the same time, and form a peculiar harmony.

The dead are gone, but the living still have to live.

Those who are far away have no possibility of returning, and those who remain must sing a farewell song for him that countless people can hear.

Compared with other songs with stage appeal, Li Zhiyan does admit that his song lacks explosive emotion.

But she remembers that the king of original singers is too many lively and noisy songs.

Everyone is competing for the power of the stage explosion, and they are all trying to make the atmosphere more enthusiastic.

Her song debuted, maybe it would have a miraculous effect.

Moreover, this is a song that is easy to resonate with emotions.

Who is so big that there is no difference between love and reluctance?

If you don't take the last place, that's a sure thing.

It's just that Aunt Zhang is too concerned about it, so she didn't think of this aspect for the time being.

"Okay!" Grandpa Cheng slapped his thigh hard, "I think I can do it too!" Xiao Zhang, thank you for your hard work, the first time the cigarette girl went to the original singer, she used this song. ”

Aunt Zhang hurriedly agreed.

Grandpa Cheng pulled Li Zhiyan again, and asked her like a child how she came up with the lyrics of this song.

Li Zhiyan could only tell Ning Junan's affairs.

Originally, she copied songs from another world, but she could only explain it with the fact that she had just experienced strong emotional stimulation, which was a sudden inspiration.

Grandpa Cheng sighed for a while, but did not delve into it.

After all, this song is also close to Li Zhiyan's past style.

Coming out of Grandpa Cheng's house, Li Zhiyan hurriedly told Aunt Zhang that he was going to Ning's house.

Aunt Zhang hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed, and only repeatedly told Li Zhiyan to pay attention to safety, and not to quietly get rid of the people who followed her.

Li Zhiyan should be ordered one by one.

She felt that with her popularity at this time, she would not have to be so careful to protect it.

But Aunt Zhang always felt that she might be in danger as soon as she went out, so she had to follow Aunt Zhang's wishes.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for her to even leave the house.

Saturday finally arrived.

Li Zhiyan prepared early and went to Ning's house.

She happened to meet Lin Dong downstairs at the Ning family, and the two walked up to the Ning family together.

The house is clean and tidy, but there is a sadness that cannot be dispersed.

Mother Ning handed tea to Lin Dong and Li Zhiyan.

Her eyes were red and swollen, and she could barely see anyone.

Father Ning's forehead was covered with white hair.

Lin Dong whispered to Li Zhiyan and said, "Uncle Ning's gray hair is more than a few days ago. ”

Li Zhiyan nodded slightly.

Ning's father and mother's old age can't be hidden.

"Ah Dong, I've really bothered you these days." Father Ning's voice was hoarse, "You and Jun'an are just classmates, but you have helped us so much during this time, we ...... Alas! ”

He twitched his nose and choked out.

The Ning family is thin, and the relatives are relatively far away.

Just when Ning Junan died, some relatives came.

The rest of the matter is mostly handled by two old men.

They weren't particularly old, but people in their fifties looked older than some people in their sixties and seventies.

Lin Dong studied in Yu'an City, and he usually had a close relationship with the Ning family, and he had a lot of help from Lin Dong during this time.

"Uncle, this is what I have to do." Lin Dong smiled and pointed at Li Zhiyan again, "By the way, uncle, do you recognize her?" ”

Li Zhiyan and Lin Dong entered the house together just now, and they hadn't introduced themselves yet.

She hadn't been here before.

Father Ning squinted his eyes and looked at her for a moment, and said with certainty: "Li Zhiyan, right?" I've heard Jun'an mention you before. ”

Like thunder.

Li Zhiyan finally came back to his senses: "Uncle, Ah ...... Junan: Did he mention me to you? ”

"Yes." Father Ning got up tremblingly and walked into a room with a closed door.

Soon, he came out with a picture frame.

"It's a picture of what he's always sitting on his desk. As I remember, he even told me who was in the picture. He mentioned you many times, and said that if you hadn't taught him Chinese before, he probably wouldn't have been able to get into this school. ”

Li Zhiyan's mood became complicated again.

Father Ning said the latter words, and she wasn't sure whether Ning Junan really thanked him or if he specifically mentioned her for other reasons.

She took the photo frame from Father Ning and saw the photo on it.

I thought it was a graduation photo.

But now that she saw it clearly, she realized that it was a graduation trip, and they went to see the photos taken at sunrise together.

The photo shows Ning Junan, her, Lin Dong, and her former tablemate Su Yanfen.

At that time, she was embarrassed to take pictures with Ning Junan alone, so she said that the four of them had been sitting together for so many years, and they were all on and off the table, and now that they were going to separate, they should always take a photo together.

Unexpectedly, just this photo was so cherished by Ning Junan.

A hint of excitement welled up in her heart, and it turned into an even stronger sadness.

If she had been more courageous, would the result have been different?

Other students who have decided to come today are also coming.

And there were more people here.

Accompanied by someone, Ning's father and Ning's mother really didn't seem to be so sad.

But Li Zhiyan, who was sitting in the room, could feel the pain the same.

She only suspects that even she will continue to be uncomfortable, can Ning Father and Mother really let go of their grief because of the company of others?
