Chapter Eighty-Three: The Profession of the Fire Bearer (32)
I'll definitely go talk to that guy later! Maybe you might even become like-minded friends!
Christina's eyes gleamed with excitement, and in her anticipation, the sound of the piano sounded again in the stereo on the stage.
The beautiful blue-haired girl stood in the center of the simple stage, showing a quiet and gentle smile, and there was a sense of otherworldliness in the white light curtain.
She spoke slowly, singing the finale of the night in a natural voice.

It's not any language you know, and maybe not even any language in the world.
In the midst of that cappella, Christina suddenly realized this fact.
It's not that I don't understand it or I just don't understand what it means.
On the contrary, it is precisely because of the ability to understand the meaning and emotion that the accompaniment and singing are intended to convey that it is a completely new, even self-made language.
Language and writing are, in the final analysis, a product of convention. A person gives a specific syllable or character a practical meaning, and then he tells this wonderful idea to his friends, and then the friends tell his friends' friends, and through continuous imitation and dissemination, an idea, a pronunciation, and a word gradually become the product of being used by many people by default in the transmission.
Over time, more and more words and phrases appeared, and language and writing were formed.
At the end of the day, it's a memetic spreading phenomenon.
And to give a new meaning to a word is also a change in linguistic memes, that is, a change in conventional meaning.
Hehe.
More than 20 years ago, the word was given more meaning after a small explanation on the Internet, and then more and more people spread the new meaning of the word in the continuous interpretation and dissemination, and over time, this onomatopoeia that once represented goodwill and playfulness has taken on the meaning of offending young people.
Chrysanthemums, cucumbers, boxers
These are all in the continuous transmission of memes, because a small mutation is given a new meaning, and after more people spread it, it begins to be given more hidden meanings.
Back to the point, in fact, the above two points are to clarify one thing, that is, a new language is the product of at least two people who need to agree with each other to exist.
But Christina heard a different singing.
luvhalue
She couldn't understand what the other person was singing, but the meaning that the owner of the song wanted to convey was all contained in these syllables that could not form phrases.
There is no need for conventional meanings, there is no need to reach a consensus, and the emotions conveyed in the undulations of the notes and the ethereal and melodious singing voice can naturally flow into the hearts of others, and then be interpreted by everyone into meanings that only they can understand
Elizabeth's singing voice was wonderfully penetrating, peeking out of the dilapidated shack, overshadowing the howl of the blizzard outside, overpowering the roar of the wind, and carrying out the shack in all directions, to the surrounding neighborhoods, and even beyond.
Like the ripples of stones cast on the surface of a calm lake, the vibrations of the sound spread outward in circles and circles.
The children who wept in fear in the darkness slowly stopped crying in this gentle song and soothed it, and they were no longer afraid.
Women shivering in the cold night get a warm and beautiful dream on this snowy night.
Hungry workers who had not eaten for days slept contentedly with a feeling of fullness that they had not felt for days.
The imperceptible transcendent shelter is mixed with the singing, and the warm area with the shack as the center, and the surrounding area, where there is no snow and no wind and snow roaring, also quietly expands with the song.
Even Christina's emotions were mobilized by this song, and from the desperate and gloomy picture, she saw a glimmer of lighted hope.
What a song full of hope...
It's really a sad song, Meng Yiran, who was advancing in the snow, suddenly stopped
As soon as he spoke, he faintly heard the sound of the wind, and although it was intermittent, he could still feel the feelings that the singer wanted to express from the scattered syllables.
Sadness.
Sacrifice.
Sigh.
It seems to be a soul-calming song sung to soothe the silent deaths of this disaster.
But it was like a loving and merciful saint lamenting the sacrifice of the victims.
I don't know why.
The song reminded him of the little girl.
The lips are black and cold, and the sleeping face is as quiet as if you are asleep.
Last time, I seemed to run away from the fear of death
Memories quietly appeared in front of Meng Yiran's eyes, in the last fire transmission ceremony, he seemed to have escaped for similar reasons, which led to his deprivation of the title of fire bearer, all the family property was divided, and he fell from the clouds into hell at once.
Taking sacrificing one's own life as a prerequisite for achieving one's goal, in the eyes of Meng Yiran, an out-and-out egoist, is definitely a loss-making business and will never be done.
But now
For the first time, he questioned his choice.
Am I really right to do this
Is there anything wrong with choosing to run away in order to survive in order to survive? A voice sounded in my heart, it was a selfish voice, of course, it was more important to live! No matter how many people fall in front of you, you have to grit your teeth and live, after all, if you die, there is nothing
Whether it's honor, fame, wealth, or anything, are you willing?
Do you want to watch most of the population of a city die? Another voice sounded in his ears, that voice Meng Yiran is also very familiar with, it is called morality, those people will be frozen to death because of energy shortages, if you don't do anything, can you have a good conscience? Can you sleep at night?
Or else? There was a hint of sarcasm in the selfish voice, as if to mock the naivety and naivety of morality, do you want to put your own life and the lives of all beings on the scales, and then sacrifice your insignificant life to save those untouchables who cannot create any value?
