Ordinary people's rice bowl

Chapter 98

The sound of the flute is getting closer and closer, it is no longer the melodious and joyful that she heard at the beginning, what Mu Zhen hears from the intermittent cadence is desolation, what she hears is sadness, what she hears is sadness.Obviously, the player is not very proficient in mastering the melody. After blowing a string of notes continuously, he always has to pause for more than ten seconds before hearing the next line. Mu Zhen listened and suddenly realized: "This is a sad music You can only hear it during funerals." Mu Zhen's heart tightened, "Could it be?" Mu Zhen didn't think about it any further.

Mu Zhen was still staring intently at the bend in the river. He wanted to run over, but he didn't raise his legs, and waited dully for the Piper to arrive.

A figure appeared at the bend of the river. From the height and shape, it could be seen that the person who came was Hu Guoqing. Mu Zhen felt a little heavy in her heart. Zhen felt a little sad. Mu Zhen, whose tear glands were a little shallow, now felt his eyes wet. He looked up at the sky, which was as transparent as blue without any color, and then looked down at the grass on the river beach, which was still green. The oil is shining, spread out to the distance, turned to look at the water in the river, the water waves blown by the breeze, rolling forward slowly like never knowing stop, the scene is still the same, but the mood has changed 180 degrees Is this kind of reversal only the reason for a piece of music?
When hearing from Hu Guoqing's neighbors that he went to the hospital to treat his father, Mu Zhen silently hoped that his father would get better. For a few days, she would spend a few minutes standing on the embankment, and felt sorry for Hu Guoqing. Pray, pray that his father can get rid of the torment of the disease as soon as possible, restore the health of the past, rekindle the fire of hope in this family life, and let him return to the dream desk as soon as possible.However, all this seems to be unfulfilled.

Just as Mu Zhen was standing there thinking wildly, Hu Guoqing came closer. Mu Zhen looked at his anxious figure and walked towards him. Mu Zhen had already seen Hu Guoqing's face and clearly Seeing that his eyelids were a bit swollen, his hair was a bit messy, as if he had just crawled out of a firewood nest, with the flute in his hand, he stared at Mu Zhen blankly.

"You, what's the matter with you?" Mu Zhen's first question made Mu Zhen ask why she knew it.

"I haven't come to see you these days, I'm sorry!" Hu Guoqing said this, his eyes filled with tears immediately.

"Your grandpa has already told me everything!" Mu Zhen didn't know how to comfort the friend in front of her.

"Did he tell you that I went to the hospital?" Hu Guoqing asked.

"Yes, he said that you accompanied father to see a doctor." Mu Zhen continued Hu Guoqing's words.

"When I went there, my father was already dying. After arriving at the hospital, although first aid was given, in the end he still couldn't stay!" After Hu Guoqing finished speaking, he started to sob, and tears fell like broken beads.

Mu Zhen looked at Hu Guoqing's tearful eyes, and couldn't hold back her own tears, which slid down her face. Mu Zhen felt sad for the misfortune of Hu Guoqing's family, and also regretted what happened to her friends. According to the grandfather of the neighbor In that way, his father was a good man, and his father was the pillar of the family. It was such a good man, a pillar of the family, who left with great concern in middle age. Those who knew and were familiar with, who How can you not be sad?

"People have to go this way in the end, it's just a matter of time, so don't be too sad." Mu Zhen didn't know what to say to make her friend stop her sad tears.

"As you said, I don't know how many people have told me that when my father was lying on the bed, our whole family still had someone to rely on. I had no regrets in herding sheep, but now that he is gone, I suddenly feel as if the beams supporting the house have collapsed, and there is no sky. , That day I really cried to death, I was sad for my father's early death, I cried for my family's misfortune, and I also cried for my own future!" Hu Guoqing wiped his tears with the back of his empty hand and said .

"Things will always pass one day. No matter what kind of sadness, what kind of suffering, what kind of grief, they will go with the wind with the passage of time. We people who live in reality cannot die because of the dead. Give up life, let alone give up your ideals!" Mu Zhen reminded Hu Guoqing.

"For medical treatment and funeral, all my sheep were sold, and now I have nothing to do." Hu Guoqing continued.

"You have plenty of time, and some time for study!" Mu Zhen said, looking at Hu Guoqing, who was depressed in front of her, in a little surprise.

"But I don't have sheep, so how can I use an excuse to meet you every day?" Hu Guoqing asked a little doubtfully.

"See if you are overly sad and confused. Without sheep, wouldn't it be easier to meet here?" Mu Zhen's words seemed to remind Hu Guoqing, his tearful eyes were filled with hope and full of never-before-seen feelings. It used to be shiny.

"Then I can see you every day here." Hu Guoqing became a little excited.

"Of course, not only can you see me, do you still remember the composition "My Ideal" that you asked your neighbor's grandfather to bring?" Mu Zhen asked.

"Of course I remember, what's the matter?" Of course Hu Guoqing was thinking about that composition, which he wrote the night he went back. It was his expression of emotion from the heart, how could he forget it?

"I showed it to Mr. Chen. After reading it, I admired your composition and said that I want to see you. When you come back, I will definitely let you see him!" Mu Zhen these days , always wanted to tell Hu Guoqing the good news, and hoped that this friend in front of him could see Mr. Chen as soon as possible.

"This, is this okay?" Hu Guoqing suddenly became at a loss, and then expressed all his doubts: "I am not a student at the school, and secondly, I will never go to school again, so why go to see him? Besides, I have nothing now, the future is very slim, and what awaits me in the future is unknown, so what's the use of me going to see him?"

After Mu Zhen heard Hu Guoqing's words, the friends in front of her immediately became strange.

"You, how can you say that? You can't even give up your ideals and aspirations just because your father is gone! The dead are gone, and the living still have to live well. You know, everything you have done in the world , your father will always watch you in another world, although he is gone, but in another world, he is watching you all the time, you work hard, he knows it underground, don't you understand this?" Mu Zhen What he said came from the bottom of his heart. When he ran away, he had all kinds of thoughts. It can be said that he came out of another world. He understood the truth at that time, even as an adult. People don't necessarily understand it.

"Where can I have any ambitions? Where can I pursue my ideals?" Hu Guoqing responded weakly.

"What are you talking about? What are you talking about? You can't control people's birth, old age, sickness and death, and who in the world can control them. Besides, the problem you are encountering now is not that you have lost your loved ones. What's so terrible about losing your loved ones? , the scary thing is what kind of attitude you adopt in the face of difficulties, do you understand?" After finishing speaking, Mu Zhen grabbed Hu Guoqing's free hand, put the other hand on Hu Guoqing's shoulder, and said affectionately: "You Now there are relatives, and more importantly, friends, if you are a smart person, you are relying on living relatives and friends, can you not understand this?" When Mu Zhen mentioned friends, she emphasized a little tone.

Hu Guoqing was silent for a few minutes without speaking, obviously Mu Zhen's words had caused a great shock in his heart.He looked into Mu Zhen's eyes, then raised his head to look at the sky, and said suddenly, "The sky is still the same sky, and you are the same as before. The clear river water has not changed, and the only thing that has changed is myself."

"Yes, it's you!" Mu Zhen said with certainty.

"I treat you as a bosom friend, and I've told you enough, if you can't change yourself, if you can't get over the pain of your lost relatives, then you're a useless person, what's the point of your life, man? You are born to struggle, you are born to overcome difficulties, and you have not struggled and faced difficulties, so are you willing to fall down?" Mu Zhen didn't know where so many new words came from, but He said one thing after another. When he said these words, he felt that he should be most grateful for that late night departure. He found enough reasons to convince himself, and he also had enough courage to let him go back to face the difficulties at that time. He won. He has defeated himself. Can't these reasons convince the friend who has lost courage and confidence in front of him, guide him to face up to difficulties, and meet new life and new challenges with full enthusiasm?

Hu Guoqing's hand held Mu Zhen's hand tightly, and Mu Zhen felt Hu Guoqing's hand tremble a little.

"Friend, friend, your eyes are like golden eyes, you can understand my heart, the blue sky can be proved, the earth can be written, the river can be ink, you and I can shine, your heart is like a mirror reflecting the stars, the road ahead can lead to the sky, if you are like a fish , I am water, if you are a bird, I am a forest, a fish cannot leave the water, a bird cannot leave the forest, I am willing to accompany you to swim all over the world, and I am willing to accompany you to fly all over the forest and river. Don't worry, I will definitely go to see Teacher Chen! I must go back to school to study!" Hu Guoqing let Mu Zhen's words stir up ripples in his heart, he came out of the grief, saw the hope of life again, rekindled the dream of his youth, and re-read the longing for the future .

Mu Zhen let go of the hand she was holding, and went up to hug this seemingly ordinary friend.He whispered in his ear: "I believe in you, you will be able to do well enough!"
