Chapter 1170 Time stops
"...I'm naked, I'm broke, God, I can't go home like this, this, this, this, this, this."
"God, I can't go home like this."
Indifferent, quiet, melodious, a touch of sadness flows in the melody, sad but not sad, just like letters from home that have traveled across the ocean and embarked on a journey, quietly hiding fragility and helplessness, arming themselves with tenacity and courage, pulling He picked up the collar of his coat and walked forward in the freezing cold winter.
"If you miss my train, you will know that I have left, and you can hear the whistle coming from a hundred miles away, a hundred miles, a hundred miles..."
Before realizing it, the singing voice deep in the throat could not help but hum along——
One hundred miles. One hundred miles.
The low singing voice surged in the bar, like an echo deep in the soul.
Unknowingly, my eyes and attention quietly drifted towards that solitary lamp.
There is nothing special, but it always makes people care. The noise and noise are still surging in the air, but the mood has slowly sunk into the coldness and bleakness of winter in the melody.
After the song was played, the emotions were surging. In order to cover up their short-term vulnerability, the guests in the bar looked at their friends again, and raised their voices to continue the conversation.
It was as if nothing had happened.
However, the figure on the stage didn't care and was completely focused on his own world.
The long and powerful fingertips lightly plucked the guitar strings.
The melody flows.
The world miraculously quieted down. The breeze blew through the blue ocean for a long distance, opening its arms to embrace the lush green forest in front. The sound of waves hitting the rocks hummed in the rustling of the swaying treetops. The light golden sunshine penetrated thousands of miles. The cloudless blue falls on the fingertips and dances gracefully.
Then, all that is left in the world is myself, a guitar and a voice.
"I don't want much..."
Clear, clean, pure, spotless, but it catches the ears in an instant.
The words disappeared in the throat, and he subconsciously turned his head to look at the stage. The corners deep in his heart collapsed quietly. He took off his armor and threw away his mask, and the softest and most vulnerable parts were exposed to the air without warning.
"...I just want to hear you knocking on my door. If I can see you again, I believe I will have no regrets even if I die." (Note 1)
Light, gentle, no big ups and downs, no great joys or sorrows, lying on the lawn in the summer afternoon and watching the clouds rolling in the clean sky, the comfort and tranquility, but after calming down, I feel the time slowly passing by my fingers. The vicissitudes of life and magnificence.
A guitar, simple chords.
A voice with real feelings.
That's enough.
"When you said your final goodbye, a corner of my heart withered quietly; I was completely bedridden with tears streaming down my face, and I was alone without you."
The clouds are light and the wind is gentle, but Qianfan's scars and faltering steps are faintly revealed after his experience.
There is no sadness or bitterness. Instead, you can see the calmness of the corners of the mouth rising slightly, and the happiness and joy of the past are flying up and down between the strings.
Heart, trembling slightly.
"But if you really loved me, why did you leave me?"
"Take me away, take me away..."
"All-I-Want, all I want is to find someone, find someone... just like you."
Sadness, I stopped briefly, but in the next moment I saw my fingertips flying rapidly. Between the vibration of the strings, the notes gurgled and flowed. The happiness and joy surged rapidly, and the clear voice hummed softly.
"Same as you..."
"Same as you..."
Involuntarily, the heart began to beat faster.
Between surprise and astonishment, he suddenly raised his head and looked at the figure. The man was bathed in a goose-yellow halo. The corners of his mouth hidden behind his beard were slightly raised, outlining a beautiful arc.
It should be a quiet and sad song, but at this moment, I feel the turbulence and heartbeat. Closing their eyes, they seemed to be running on the endless Gobi Desert, opening their arms to embrace the raging wind. As they ran, the wilderness transformed into a forest, getting rid of the gray and brown difficulties and diving into the vast green sky. Every pore is open, breathing hard.
That is fun, that is joy, that is happiness.
The smile bloomed wantonly.
However, why are the eyes full of tears?
"Look, you made me better, a look that I am not familiar with. You took away my soul and wiped it clean. Our love is like a movie scene."
Fingertips are flying; melody is rushing.
The rhythm of the guitar strings hidden behind the singing is getting faster and faster, cheerful and exciting. The emotions between the lines quietly fade away from the darkness. It is not sadness, pain, or struggle, but after the passage of time, I am finally relieved and I finally have the courage to face myself. , a strong look back.
What's more important is that one growth, one transformation, one break out of the cocoon and become a butterfly.
"But if you really loved me, why did you leave me?"
"Take me away, take me away..."
"All I want, all I want is to find someone, find someone... just like you."
In the tavern, the bustling eyes were completely focused on the figure in the center of the stage. Even Jim and Rebecca couldn't help but stop, tilted their heads, and watched the scene in front of them quietly, with warm emotions in their hearts. Wandering freely in it.
Then, the smile on the corner of the man's mouth rose slightly, breaking free from the constraints, shackles, and burden——
Running wildly.
Thumb thump, thump thump, thump thump, thump thump, thump thump, thump thump, thump thump, thump thump, thump thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, out there with their slender fingertips plucking the strings faster and faster, dazzled and overwhelmed.
The gurgling creek merges into the roaring river, and then all the way to the west, it merges into the vast ocean, with roaring waves.
My heart beat faster and faster, and I started sprinting at full speed uncontrollably.
They seemed to have returned to their green years, those troubles, pains, and struggles that trapped them. Adolescence was so long and dark, with no end in sight. They tried to call for help but couldn't find anyone to ask for help, so they could only hug tightly. Hugging myself, weeping in the corner.
One step, another step.
One day, another day.
Just persevering like this, until one day, I couldn't bear it anymore, so I started running wildly.
There is no direction or purpose, just like a child, running freely and wantonly, getting rid of the constraints and shackles, and bravely embracing freedom.
As I ran, my heart began to beat again.
As he ran, a smile began to creep onto his lips.
As I ran, the dawn slowly tore through the darkness.
The galloping melody, galloping strings, and galloping rhythm converge into a stormy sea, roaring above the eardrums.
My heart is almost about to burst.
Under that lone lamp, the man sang loudly——
"Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh... oh... oh oh oh... oh oh oh oh..."
Little by little, little by little, climb the peak.
With cheerful dance steps, flying shirts, and raging wind, they finally broke free from the constraints and rushed out of the scars and darkness of memory.
Embrace the sunshine.
I laughed and cried, cried and laughed again, but I didn’t have time to take care of it. I just ran wildly and forgot everything, and finally broke out of my cocoon and became a butterfly.
Then, finally grow up.
