Chapter 18 seventeen

This is a summer night in mid-June, and the last quarter moon hangs crookedly on the top of the mountain.Bright constellations, twinkling in the clear sky.Yanan and I were wandering on the lawn next to the campus, the noise was cut off, but we heard a faint sound of a piano coming from the woods. Walking along the sound of the piano, we realized that the sound of the piano came from the rear window of the auditorium.Yanan turned back without saying a word, and walked towards the direction of the auditorium. Standing in front of the door, seeing that the auditorium was full of people, I really wanted to go in and find a seat for Yanan.But she stopped me gently: don't spoil the atmosphere of the music, we are standing under the window on this side.

The air is serene, and the emotions of every listener are integrated with the atmosphere of the music.The piano is so tall that the face of the player can hardly be seen from the side, only the back of a girl in a white dress can be seen.It happened that a movement was played; after a pause, another melodious piece of music sounded. This melody is extremely beautiful; gently, slowly, like a pool of gurgling streams, flowing across the silver sand.Yanan told me in a low voice, this is Beethoven's Moonlight. The concert really brings people to the realm of reality!Suddenly, I seemed to see a young and beautiful girl standing barefoot on the beach.The silver moonlight shone on her snow-white dress, fluttering in the evening wind.Finally, she sat quietly on a big rock, listening intently to the crisp and soft sound of running water.No!She found resonance in this sound, and began to sing along with the melody.Is it the sound of the piano or singing, if it weren't for a burst of applause, I almost forgot where I was.

Do not move!Yanan said softly behind my back: Listen carefully!This is a tone with a melancholy atmosphere.In an instant, the auditorium fell silent again; it was so quiet that everyone's breathing could be heard.Every beating note on the keyboard is like the deep sigh of an old man, which strikes everyone's heartstrings.I feel that this is Tchaikovsky's work, but I can't think of the name of this piece of music for a while.Turning his head, he suddenly saw Yanan sitting on the stone steps with his face turned away. Anam!I also sat down and tugged on her skirt. Please don't disturb me!She glanced at me, but lowered her head and ignored me.

let's go!I said. Why? I don't like Tchaikovsky's work! Why? No reason!I thought about it and said: I don't think a girl should play this kind of thing. She nodded slightly: I know you like listening to Mozart's symphony records? Yes!I smiled and said: Even Schubert's serenade is better than this! Very shallow!Yanan shook his head and said to me: You really have too little experience in life. When you listen to music, you need to clarify your thoughts before you can accept the sudden sound of the piano. Before she finished speaking, she listened quietly. Very familiar, a Chopin Polonaise.This is the favorite piece of music for young people. I quietly walked to the window and concentrated on accepting the color of this music.Desolate and resentful, I experienced Chopin's state of mind when composing.

As the sound of the piano changed, my mood also trembled.The scenery of the homeland, the heart of a wanderer; I think of home, and I think of the familiar land that has been away for several years.I thought. After all, it was because the girl was not strong enough to fully grasp the orgasm. When everyone was anxious for her, she suddenly let out a long cry.It came to an abrupt end. There was a burst of applause, and I clearly saw the girl playing the piano standing up with a smile.This surprised me so much that I couldn't believe my eyes. It turned out that it was Qiumen bowing deeply to the audience.

when did she comeI leaned on the window lattice and stared, and suddenly thought of Yanan again, and hurriedly turned my head to look up the stone steps, only to realize that she had left at some point. It was probably the end of the show. In my amazement, I saw many people walking out with joyful smiles.Among the crowd, Qiuming happily walked past me like a phoenix.She didn't notice me, and I didn't greet her. I only heard Mr. Gu and Ai say to her: "It doesn't matter if you are late, I will ask your cousin to take you back." No!She shook her head and said.Thank you!instructor.Don't look for him, what are you afraid of when there are many people traveling together!

Then let me walk with you for a while! I was about to go up to stop Mr. Gu, when someone behind me suddenly called my name.Turning around suddenly, it turned out that Yang Ziyun was catching up. He made a funny face and said with a smile, "Have you seen Qiuming?" Isn't that right?I pointed to the front and said: very strange; when did she come back again? What's even more strange is that the old nun went out to invite her in person. how do you know? Little rain tell me! I see!I finally understood, and I was very glad that she didn't see me with Yanan, so I said in panic: Ziyun!You will take her home with me, will you?

No!Little raindrops are waiting for you! wait for me?I looked at him strangely: Don't be kidding!What am I waiting for? real!He pulled and walked in the direction of the campus behind.Gently said to me: She said Qiuming brought you a letter. a letter!I wondered skeptically: Could it be that Mr. Gu told her about the conversation between Yanan and I in the reception room, and something else happened.While Zhengxuan was thinking, Yang Ziyun suddenly whistled softly. coming!With a crisp sound, Jiang Yu jumped out of the woods like a lively skylark.I stuffed a letter into my hand, pulled Yang Ziyun with a smile, and ran away in a hurry.

On the playground, I leaned under the wooden pole of the street lamp and opened the letter. It turned out to be a telegram from my father: Grandmother is seriously ill and hopes to return soon. Although it is a few short words, in my feeling, it is no different from a few dangerous bombs.What terrible news!In an instant, I felt my whole body trembling.In a trance, I saw an old man with white hair, standing in front of a familiar house, leaning on a rosewood cane, covering the sun with his hands, and looking into the distance.Mouth murmured: child!Come back soon, maybe you can see me for the last time.

Yes!That is grandma, that is the most unforgettable kind old man in my life! With tears in my eyes, I looked up at the sky.A few remaining stars in the sky are still revealing a faint light.Scenes from my childhood were presented in front of me one after another.Isn't it also like this beautiful summer night, how familiar!That is the bright Polaris, that is the bright and clear Milky Way, that is the Morning Glory and Weaver Girl on both sides of the Milky Way.Isn't that the same as our hometown?However, today, the scenery is still the same, and everything is different. The scenery remains the same, but everything is different!I chewed the deep meaning of this common saying, and my heart ached again.Grandma, who is dying, may leave us forever under this starlight.Even in this world, she can live for a few more years; but, it is only a few years; a few years will pass in the blink of an eye, there is always a banquet in the world!

From my grandmother, I think of my childhood partner, sister Alan.She has not heard from her for several months.Under such starlight, I don't know if she is also missing her old friend.In the vast sea of ​​people in the future, will we still be able to gather together like duckweed?Even if we can get together, maybe we will be like duckweed in the pond; when a gust of wind comes, we will be blown away without a trace! Floating like a dream, how happy is it!Suddenly I thought of the poet Li Bai's sigh.The old man will soon leave us to die.Childhood friends are always at the ends of the earth.Even the few familiar classmates in front of me, for the sake of their own future, will soon be separated.After a few years, we may all have changed unimaginably! Changed, changed!Everything has changed.The people and things in the past have become almost impossible to recall.The people and things in front of me are changing all the time.I think of the unfathomable joys and sorrows in life, as if there is a master in the dark; all sentient beings are rolling around on that certain track.Only the stars, the moon and the sun in the sky; thousands of years, tens of thousands of years, still the same. Thinking, thinking, at some point, I felt a little cold on my body.I touched the skirt by chance, and it was already soaked with dew. Like a ghost, I quietly returned to the dormitory. The classmates were already fast asleep, and I fell on the bed indiscriminately.With my eyes open, I saw that the sky was turning from gray to dark, and from dark to bright again. It must be the sound of chickens in the wilderness, I groped for it.Light the candles, and gently arrange the luggage.I pushed the bulky books and suitcases together.Leave a letter to Yang Ziyun, tell him the reason for my return, and ask him to take it to Qiuming's aunt's house.And I asked him to tell Yanan about these situations, and asked her to still follow the plan I discussed with her.Then, carrying a travel bag, he quietly walked out of the school gate and caught the morning train.
