Mars trainee

The illness came like a mountain, and Chai Ligan's grandfather was like an old house on fire. The fire spread rapidly, and there was no way to save it.

Even though everyone was praying for him, the miracle didn't happen.

When Zuo Cheng and the others finished teaching the students and returned to the teacher's dormitory, the last ray of the sun disappeared from the snow mountain.

Chai Ligan stumbled in and said to the boys who were having dinner, "My grandpa seems...seems to be gone."

The child burst into tears, and several people froze in place. Xu Luyang hugged Chai Ligan in his arms, then put down the dishes and went to Chai Ligan's house.

His grandfather just left without a sound, without any warning when he left.

Several people contacted the young and middle-aged people in the village to discuss how to handle the funeral for the old man. Chai Ligan's parents were working in the city, so they couldn't come back in time.

I made a phone call to communicate, and I want to give the old man a sky burial.

They are people who believe in the existence of God because they live closest to heaven.

The Tibetan principal said that only good people can hold sky burials.To be buried is to go to hell.

Zuo Cheng and the others watched the sky burial ceremony for the first time in their life, and thought it would be very novel and exciting. At first, Su Yang even wanted to take out his mobile phone to take pictures, but Xu Luyang stopped him with a look.

As a result, when they arrived at the celestial burial platform, they saw the grassland surrounded by railings in the vast wilderness, the rebirth pool behind the grassland, and several vultures standing half a meter high on the railings. They felt awe of nature spontaneously in their hearts Affection.

"It's going to be held here, right? Has the old man's family come?" Fu Chaoxi asked.

"Several students from the village are here, and Chai Ligan is also here." After Xu Luyang answered, he saw several people wrapped the old man's body in white cloth, and then hid behind the curtain.

"What are they doing?" Su Yang asked curiously.

"The celestial burial master is disassembling the old man's body." Xu Luyang said, "split his flesh/body with an axe."

Imagining that scene, there seemed to be a stench that seemed to be wafting from the tip of his nose, and Su Yang couldn't help covering his mouth.

Zuo Cheng stared at the curtain that was slightly moved by the wind, and then saw that the curtain was pulled up, and the vulture flew up with a flutter, circling around the old man's penis in mid-air.

The wind on the grass was blowing the soil and sand, and it seemed that the scene was very grand.

A few people stood watching from a distance, staring at the distance silently, without any thoughts in their hearts except calmness.

People born in the dust will naturally return to the dust. Since the flesh/body has already decayed, why care about the way it disappears?

Zuo Cheng looked at the vultures with flickering eyes, and when he left, Xu Luyang asked him: "What are you thinking? Have you thought of your family?"

Zuo Cheng remained silent.

Xu Luyang asked again: "You should think so, after all, you haven't been home for such a long time."

Zuo Cheng shook his head, "I don't think about them, maybe only creatures that use procreation as the only way to reproduce will have such deep feelings for their relatives."

His words directly confuse Xu Luyang, what the hell, buddy, do you really think you are an alien?

"Go ahead." Xu Luyang smiled, with an expression of "I'm just watching you pretend".

Zuo Cheng said: "In a certain way, we are eternal creatures. The creatures on the earth pursue eternity, and we Martians pursue the perfection of life."

Xu Luyang felt a little interested, "Eternity?"

Zuo Cheng nodded, "Yes, the life of each of us Martians is very long. We are born from the womb of our parents, and then our parents gradually age. After a long time, time reverses. When we meet our parents again, they will become Our children, from maturity to immaturity, finally return to our womb.①”

Xu Luyang couldn't understand what he said, so he could only nod his head. Later, he searched the Internet for these remarks, and there were actually some people who put forward this scientific hypothesis, which was called "time and space collapse", but most people thought that This statement is very absurd.

At that moment, Xu Luyang felt a surge of excitement in his heart. He thought that Zuo Cheng's strange behavior was because he had been in a mental hospital before, so he would talk nonsense, saying that he was a Martian. Possibly a Martian.

On the night of the sky burial, people in the village gather to mourn the deceased old man.

Zuo Cheng and the others lay on the top of the mountain looking at the stars, the oxygen here was so thin that they were out of breath when they spoke.

The stars are so big that they seem to be within reach.Glittering overhead, exudes a gentle and eternal light.

Zuo Cheng felt the wind blowing all around, and several team members had already started to shiver, saying that they felt a little scary.

Zuo Cheng had better eyesight than all of them, and felt that the light was dazzling, so he slightly covered his eyes with his hands.

Chai Ligan thought it was because he was afraid, so he covered his eyes with his small black hands, and whispered, "Brother, don't be afraid."

Zuo Cheng felt a little warm, and replied with a smile, "Brother is not afraid."

He used to fly an aircraft and navigate in the dark universe without any sound or light. He once spent ten hours alone. How can someone who has experienced that kind of suffering be afraid of this little darkness?

However, no one ever seemed to tell him not to be afraid.

Because every man on Mars is a soldier, they are born heroes, and no one would think that a soldier would shrink back before difficulties and be cowardly.

Zuo Cheng looked at the stars all over the sky, and couldn't help but his eyes were red.

Xu Luyang said softly beside him: "It turns out that you will be moved too."

Zuo Cheng looked into his eyes and said earnestly: "I am moved by human beings. I am moved by your fragility and insignificance. The continuation of species is so backward, evolution is slow, and civilization is not developed yet, but everyone contains the greatest strength in the universe. form of energy."

Zuo Cheng let out a sigh of relief, his eyes sparkled and he said: "Maybe that's the 'love' in your population on Earth, a word that I still don't quite understand."

Xu Luyang listened carefully, looking at the stars above his head, like a huge dew, which was about to drip on his forehead if he didn't pay attention.

After a while, Xu Luyang turned his face and asked him, "Is there oxygen on Mars?"

"Yes, but not on the moon."

Xu Luyang blinked, "Then how to kiss?"

Zuo Cheng thought for a while and replied, "Take off the oxygen mask, kiss, and die."

Fuck, it's so romantic.Xu Luyang thought to himself.

When they went back, Chai Ligan and the students in the class got up early to see them off. Before leaving, Chai Ligan ran over stumblingly and stuffed something into his hand.

When getting into the car, Zuo Cheng lowered his head and took a look. It was a dollar bill and a note wrapped in a crumpled envelope.

I don't know where I found that envelope, and there were previous handwriting on it, which he glued off with scotch tape.

Chai Ligan wrote crookedly: Brother Zuo Cheng, thank you for your concern for so many days. When I grow up, I will be as good as my brother.I will return the rest of the money to you, just wait for me.Wish you happy everyday.

Zuo Cheng put the note into the bag.

When they went back, they created a song very smoothly.

"I didn't expect Xu Luyang to be such a good character. I don't think he looks like the outside world at all. How could such a person do such nasty things?" After Su Yang came back, he became a fan and joined Xu Luyang. in the team.

"Let me just say, I didn't read it wrong at all. My idol is not only strong in business, but also a good person." Fu Chaoxi was extremely proud, as if holding a value-added stock in his hand, showing off.

Two days later, the demo of the song written by Zuo Cheng was released, and when it was sent to the program production team, everyone was amazed.

In the later stage, this song was directly used as a gimmick and cut into the next trailer.

Wu Ye also scoffed at the beginning, but when he heard it later, he was silent for a few seconds, smiled and commented: "I will not be convinced if I lose to anyone, but if I lose to Zuo Cheng, I will feel very happy."

when the show airs.

Zuo Cheng and the others stood on the stage in white clothes, and the prelude started, a harmony in Tibetan.

"Star"

"Night where light dies

around the other side of the galaxy

i flew far

the day i saw the stars

Your life is falling before my eyes

If silence is also a language

The stars are the only light source that records the civilization before it goes out

you lie among the rose clouds

Be irradiated and become an eternal commemoration"

"This song is dedicated to an unknown Tibetan teacher." When Zuo Cheng finished singing, a VCR about that teacher and that school was played on the big screen.

——"I'm going to die, isn't this a talent show? Why is it so touching all of a sudden?"

——"I have tears in my eyes."

——"Salute to the old teacher."

——"It's so touching, the tears suddenly became so low."

——"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."

——"I remembered my grandfather, he was also a teacher, he passed away last year..."

After singing, Zuo Cheng and the others all bowed, and there was thunderous applause after a few seconds.

At that moment, Xu Luyang suddenly felt a sense of pride. Future idols should be like Zuo Cheng. He really likes this dazzling but low-key young man on stage.

After Zuo Cheng's performance, many people still couldn't get out of the sad mood, which was very detrimental to the players in the next group.

The next group is Jiang Shuchuan, their style is exactly the opposite, they walk like cute teenagers.

A few people wore pink sweaters and jumped onto the stage full of energy, very youthful.

However, it may be that the previous performances were too shocking, even if they danced cutely, the audience's reaction was not great.

During the break in the middle of the recording, Zuo Cheng saw Jiang Shuchuan being called to give a lecture. He lowered his head and said nothing. The manager who should be his company scolded him red-faced.

Sensing someone else's gaze, Jiang Shuchuan raised his head and glanced at Zuo Cheng, then lowered his head in embarrassment.

Jiang Shuchuan is the official candidate. From the beginning of the show, a lot of resources were given to him, and he was asked to endorse many advertisements. I didn't expect that the current netizens would not sell this kind of hard-working personality, but prefer Zuo Inherit this straightforward personality.
