Epigenetic

The red sun sets in the west, and the sea moon rises in the east.At dusk, the villagers who had finished their meal lit a circle of bonfires by the beach to complete the final ceremony, burning the dragon boat and driving away evil spirits.

The village head brought the huge bamboo dragon boat with all the villagers, and set it on fire while Daogong chanted blessings.

Most of the villagers flocked there. Lou Mingyue learned how to be good, and did not go out of her way to join in the fun. Instead, she hugged her legs and sat by the campfire with some elderly people, watching the dragon dancing in the distance amidst the tumbling fireworks. Team.At the same time, twelve teenagers wearing ghost masks appeared out of nowhere, led by a leader with an indigo mask, and surrounded the sky by the red light, performing a majestic and evil Nuo dance, standing tall and flexible. Actions to intimidate evil spirits to scatter bad luck.

There is a music class playing in front, and outgoing young people are jumping along with the gorgeous fireworks, and the joy of the festival is everywhere.

Aunt Li next to her gestured and asked where Lou Mingyue's hometown was.Lou Mingyue said: "In U City, it's a bit far away, and it's a completely different place from the village, it's very big and prosperous."

Aunt Li looked confused, Lou Mingyue guessed that she didn't understand why she had to travel thousands of miles to come here despite having a good life.

Lou Mingyue thought for a while, and said, "I'm a piano learner. I started at a very young age. My brothers and sisters are very kind to me. I'm also very happy under the teacher's tutelage. I thought I could do this for a long time until I learned something. But when I was ten years old, I had a serious illness, dizziness and trembling hands, and gradually I couldn’t press the keys steadily and couldn’t hold the bow.”

Realizing that Aunt Li wanted to see his hand in distress, Lou Mingyue shook her head: "I'm fine now, I had an operation, and after a few years of treatment, I've recovered. Although I couldn't leave the house during the period, I was also in that period I learned a lot more things from here.” Brain injury prevented him from practicing wind instruments, and Lou Mingyue practiced most of the string instruments in those seven years of spare time, even if there was no audience, he could still play to his heart’s content.

"It's just that before I return to the piano room to continue my past study after I'm cured, I feel that my music is too closed and lacks vitality. There is a lot of traffic and fireworks in the city. I don't know how other people live seriously."

Lou Mingyue said it quite straightforwardly, but Aunt Li still didn't understand.She didn't force it, she just patted Lou Mingyue's head lightly, showing her support.

Lou Mingyue was very happy, a smile appeared on his face that was not expressive in the past, he said: "I saw it, I am very satisfied, thank you."

Aunt Li stared at Lou Mingyue for a while, then pointed to the Qu Orchestra in the distance, as if asking him what kind of piano he played, he must be very good at it.

Lou Mingyue hurriedly said: "It's not that kind. I don't know how to play musical instruments, and I'm not very good at it. I've never even been on stage. I'm worried that I won't be able to pass the entrance exam to the Music Academy in U City next year."

But Aunt Li didn't believe it, she murmured something to the villagers on both sides, looking at the beaming faces, it was obvious that she was praising her.

Lou Mingyue didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and was pushed by a group of lively grandpas and grandmas to ask him to play a song here, and if he couldn't play, he would sing a song, just like the group of lively young people at the campfire.

The particularly terrifying fixed plot of the gala was staged on Lou Mingyue.Pian Dingping didn't know how to help, and even booed along with the big guy.

Lou Mingyue, who was unable to get off the tiger, had no choice but to go back.Fortunately, it is near the sea and close to the guest house. After 10 minutes to and fro, Lou Mingyue brought her piano.

A child with knowledge shouted at him: "Guitar!"

Lou Mingyue nodded, and found that there was a large group of people around the campfire again, and those teenagers who had finished the Nuo dance also stood up.He, a foreigner who grew up like this, has attracted the attention of countless people since he entered the village. Now that he heard that he was going to perform, he naturally attracted countless attention.

Lou Mingyue was a little embarrassed, and after sitting down next to a boy with a blue mask on his head, she turned to Aunt Li and asked, "What song do you want to hear?"

Aunt Li blurted out a name, but Lou Mingyue didn't understand.Aunt Li didn't give up, she hummed again.This song is very famous in the village, Aunt Li hummed it wrong and was corrected by others.Thanks to these enthusiastic people, Lou Mingyue got a general idea.

Someone said: "I don't know!" It means that Lou Mingyue can just play whatever he wants.

After concentrating on it, Lou Mingyue straightened her posture, drew the strings between her fingers, and played the familiar tune.

Everyone was amazed that he could retell it completely after only listening to it once, but gradually, they were affected by the classical music that was completely different from humming, and couldn't help listening quietly.They don't know Western music, and they don't know any rhythmic techniques, but the emotion in the song trickling down from the boy's hands is like a crackling core fire, which is silent for a moment and bright for a moment.

Lou Mingyue felt that the tune was too sad in the middle of playing, so she stopped and looked at Aunt Li, and saw tears rolling down the corners of her eyes.

Folks on both sides said: "It's not easy to shed tears during the New Year's Eve."

Ding Ping on the side said, "My aunt should be my wife who wants to die."

Lou Mingyue blamed herself for making her elders sad, until Aunt Li herself came to persuade him to persuade him after she endured the pain.

Lou Mingyue asked curiously: "What's the name of this song?"

Ding Ping thought for a while: "It's called "A Thousand Mountains", it's our local folk music."

Lou Mingyue: "Do you mean Thousand Mountains?"

Ding Ping asked the descendants of the folks and said: "Probably, it is to miss the lover who has passed away. Some say it is waiting for him to return outside the Thousand Mountains, and some say it is over a thousand mountains to find him back."

Lou Mingyue touched the strings of the zither, and fell into a kind of sinking inexplicably.

But soon, when the bamboo boat was burned, brighter and denser fireworks were lit, diverting his attention.

I saw that the whole tidal flat was covered by the beautiful colored light above the head. Looking up, the city seemed to be hidden behind the misty camel clouds, and there seemed to be a god living in the high sky, overlooking thousands of people and all living beings with compassion.

"so beautiful!"

Lou Mingyue looked at it in shock, and wanted to share her excitement with Ding Ping, but when she turned her head, she found that the boy who was dancing the Nuo dance was still standing beside her.However, he had already taken off the indigo mask and held it in his hand, and the figure under the mask was actually Xiaoyan?

As if he noticed Lou Mingyue's gaze, he looked over.

It's rare to see Xiaoyan being irritable. Listening to the words of blessings from both sides, Lou Mingyue also said to him in a good mood: "All wishes come true, everything goes well!"

Naturally, Xiaoyan couldn't say anything nice, but half of her exposed eyes and the corners of her mouth seemed to bend slightly.

……

There were not many passenger ships in Minghui Village, so when Ding Ping left, he took the same class with Bai's uncle and nephew as a matter of course.Together with Foreman Wu and his group of brothers.Ding Ping knew several of them, chatting happily.

Standing on the bow of the boat, Lou Mingyue looked at the village on the other side in a daze. She didn't cheer up until she heard Ding Ping invite him to "come back next year if I have time".

Foreman Wu was also enthusiastic: "We will also come next year, and the project will be closed within two months. Although M City is not considered very good, it is really reluctant to think of leaving. Hey, where are you going to play in the next few days, bro? The children are also planning to take a last look around, why don't we go together? Bai Gong, do you think it's okay? And Xiaoyan!"

Bai Lu wasn't interested in playing with them, but probably thought of his nephew who had been raising Mushroom at home for almost three weeks, so he nodded his head.

Ding Ping didn't respond immediately, he knew Lou Mingyue was happy, and secretly wanted to find a time to ask the other party before talking, but suddenly saw the young man standing at the bow turn pale and fell forward!

Ding Ping was terrified, he wanted to help him up, but one person was already one step ahead of him, and he was very fast to stabilize the boy.

"Mingyue, what's wrong with you?!" Ding Ping anxiously asked the person who fell into Xiaoyan's arms.

Lou Mingyue herself was also in a trance, as if he had been hit hard in the heart just now, and lost the picture in front of his eyes for an instant, even if he could see things clearly now, the incomparable flustered feeling made him feel strange and frightened.

"I...I..." Lou Mingyue opened his mouth several times, but Lou Mingyue couldn't say "I'm fine."

Everyone thought he was seasick, but Ding Ping was worried that he had other discomforts, so he helped him lean on the simple bench.

Xiaoyan was also sitting on the side, out of some strange inertia, Lou Mingyue, who was out of strength, always fell on him unconsciously.

The very bad-tempered boy didn't dislike him this time, but settled there cooperatively, letting the burden hit his shoulder.

After staying like this for a long time, they returned to the Snow Alley at night, but Lou Mingyue's complexion did not look better at all, and he almost stepped on the ground when he entered the door.

Pian Dingping's cell phone rang again. Seeing that it was a call from the company, he could only temporarily beg Xiaoyan to continue helping him.

But at the same time, Lou Mingyue's pockets also vibrated, and he who was already half-drowsy suddenly opened his eyes, and the Shen Hei who had just retreated in his vision wanted to sweep towards him again.

The hand that was still holding him silently took out the phone for him, and even handed it to him thoughtfully.

But Lou Mingyue looked at the word "Sister-in-law" displayed on the screen, but for no reason dared not answer it.

It's almost twelve o'clock now, my sister-in-law is pregnant, why haven't I slept yet?

However, no matter how confused he was, he had to respond. He pressed the answer button with shaking hands, and Lou Mingyue put the phone to his ear.

"Hey?"

There was a dead silence in the microphone, and it took nearly half a minute before there was a choking sob.He Linglan spoke to him in an unprecedented tone of despair.

"Mingyue... your brother... had a car accident in country B two hours ago, and he... was gone."

"Your uncle doesn't want me to tell you, but... I know you can't accept it anymore... I want to know as soon as possible. We contacted the plane to pick him up. You hurry back and see your brother... one last time."

Lou Mingyue was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't understand what the sister-in-law was saying, he even looked at Xiaoyan next to him for proof, until the last one also showed surprised eyes, Lou Mingyue crashed into reality!

The phone slipped from his palm, Lou Mingyue's vision went dark and she lost consciousness.

The darkest past in his life, when he thinks about it in retrospect, it only seems very chaotic and unreal.Lou Mingyue seemed to be looking at the world through a glass, so absurd and weird.

After waking up in the small hotel, Ding Ping told him that the fastest return ticket would have to be dawn, and they still had to wait five or six hours.

Lou Mingyue nodded, got up to pack her luggage, sat back at the table and waited, without saying a word the whole time.It wasn't until I heard Lou's call again that Lou Fanghe was also sent to the hospital because of too much stimulation that I raised my eyes in panic, his complexion was pale to transparent, as if he would faint again at any moment.

Ding Ping was afraid of bringing more bad news to Lou Mingyue, so he could only hide and make phone calls, but if he didn't say anything, Lou Mingyue also knew that the Lou family must be in chaos now.

"Who's in the company?" Lou Mingyue suddenly asked when Ding Ping returned quietly.

Ding Ping hesitated, gritted his teeth and said, "Miss He."

Lou Mingyue choked with sobs: "She's not in good health..." But at this time, if the sister-in-law is not available, who else can she rely on.

Ding Ping sighed: "Ming Yue, don't think about these complicated things anymore, you have to take care of your body."

Lou Mingyue nodded, and said to herself blankly: "These are too complicated, the company is too complicated, so I don't understand anything, I don't understand anything..."

Ding Ping was sad: "Mingyue..."

After booking a taxi and finally arriving downstairs, Lou Mingyue brought out something when she got up to get dressed.He looked down and saw that it was a piece of yellow paper bag.

Lou Mingyue stooped to pick it up, stared at it quietly for a long time, and then put it on the window sill.

Ding Ping frowned: "Don't want it?"

Lou Mingyue actually laughed, with deep self-mockery: "The gods didn't hear my wish, so what's the use of keeping it. Or maybe there are no ghosts or gods in this world..."

Lou Mingyue turned around and went downstairs. In a trance, he saw the boy opposite the window standing there looking at him. It was like an illusion. His gaze was deeper than ever before.

"Ming Yue!" Ding Ping shouted from behind, "Guitar!"

Lou Mingyue pulled her eyes away from that person, turned her head and looked deeply at the thing that he had placed by the wall properly.

After a long time, he said, "I... don't want it anymore." It seemed that because of pain and difficulty, every word and every word was almost distorted.

At that moment, Ding Ping's eyes turned red. He seemed to understand what this innocent boy who was so innocent yesterday lost overnight, and what he was about to give up.

Walking out of the snowy alley and before getting into the taxi, Lou Mingyue suddenly hesitated again. He turned around and looked at the way he came from. Thousands of thoughts were condensed in his heart, and they merged into unspeakable reluctance.

Once, his world was too beautiful, he wanted to find the other side of life in a whimsical way, and finally got there, but suddenly found that black and white had been reversed.His own world collapsed, but what he thought was a counterexample witnessed the last period of innocence and happiness in his life.

Lou Mingyue can't bear it, really can't bear it, can't bear his carefree, can't bear to be himself.

However, the dream will eventually wake up, and the world has never really been a place without suffering, he just has to grow up.

"Let's go."

Lou Mingyue didn't hesitate to sit in the back seat after whispering to Ding Ping who was waiting for her by the side of the car.

Ren Renxi took him away from here, and he didn't look at the alley again, nor did he look at the figure standing by the window for a long time.

********

In the small hotel, the slight vibration of the mobile phone made Zhu Weixing open his eyes in panic, and took a few deep breaths before he seemed to wake up from deep memories.

Staring at the old ceiling, he suddenly remembered that he had wondered what the person in 407 of Building [-] was always thinking while lying on the bed. At this moment, he seemed to understand.

Zhu Weixing reached out and took out something from under the pillow.It was the yellow paper bag given to him by Fan Bo in front of the Prince's Temple yesterday.

Opening it with trembling hands, Zhu Weixing's eyes wet when he saw the familiar and found fire dragon stick inside.

Seventeen years ago, he left the last good time of Lou Mingyue's life here.

And 17 years later, someone helped him find them back.With Lou Mingyue's happiness and her former self.

In a blink of an eye, he looked at the mobile phone beside him, and saw a message lying on the table.

[Plague God]:? ? ?
