Early next morning.
"It's so early, Mr. Yu, is the broadcast starting so early today?"
"Master Yu's smile is so bright today. Is there anything you are happy about?"
"Where's Webmaster Bai? We want to see Webmaster Bai!"
"I didn't notice just now, why is Master Yu still holding a guitar?"
"Holding a guitar and sitting on the roof, is Mr. Yu going to act like a school boy?"
Holding the guitar, Huo Yu sat on the roof of the garage and smiled at the camera: "There's good news today. Webmaster Bai Xiaomo is finally leaving. I'm going to send her off with gongs and drums."
"Duplicity!"
"To be honest, Mr. Yu, I will believe you if you hold a suona. The key is that you hold a guitar..."
""Send her off with gongs and drums""
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu My Stationmaster Bai just left like this?"
Huo Yu stopped talking and shifted his gaze to the distance.
Outside the 249 scientific research station, Liu Zhe drove a snow jeep and parked outside the wooden fence.
Bai Xiaomo and Jiao Yue were right next to the jeep, hugging each other goodbye.
"Sister Jiao, when you recover from your injury, you must go to the 099 scientific research station to have a look. Our place is much bigger than here."
Jiao Yue said with a smile, "Okay, I will definitely go."
Bai Xiaomo glanced inside the station, pretending to be casual and asked: "Where's that guy? I'm leaving, but I don't know if I'm going to see him off. Even Xiaoyu and Xiaotuan are better at doing things than him."
Xiaoyu and Xiaotuan were lying on the left and right next to Bai Xiaomo. When they heard Bai Xiaomo's words, the two little guys looked at each other and decisively chose not to say a word.
If he dared to scold his father, if it had been anyone else, the two little guys would have bitten him.
But Bai Xiaomo was different. Judging from their brains, which were strengthened by blood factors, there was definitely something between her and her father.
"Huo Yu went on patrol. You know, this guy's personality will definitely not like this kind of scene." Jiao Yue gently helped Huo Yu smooth things over.
Bai Xiaomo nodded silently, his eyes revealing deep disappointment.
"I'm leaving?"
Jiao Yue nodded slightly.
Bai Xiaomo knelt down and stroked the two little guys one by one, then turned around and prepared to get in the car.
Ding ding dong dong…
A guitar intro sound as delicate and full as flowing water interrupted Bai Xiaomo's movement of opening the door. She looked at the source of the sound in surprise.
Huo Yu was sitting on the roof, with a delicate wooden guitar propped on his legs. The sun shone on his body, dyeing his short bangs golden.
The prelude of the guitar is melodious and tinged with sadness, like the sound of the spring breeze blowing through the earlobes, the gentle sound of wind chimes swaying, and more like the sound of a shepherd's flute on the grassland.
The prelude was not long, and when the music stopped, Huo Yu’s warm and sad song had already sounded in this land of ice and snow:
[Outside the pavilion,
Beside the ancient road,
The grass is green and the sky is green.
The evening wind blows the willow flute,
Sunset outside the mountains. 】
As soon as the song came out, everyone present could not help but fall into an ethereal immersion.
The melody is beautiful, the lyrics are even more beautiful, and it has a feeling of ancient poetry.
Liu Zhe held the steering wheel and subconsciously pulled out the key and turned off the jeep, fearing that the sound of the engine would affect this god-given sound.
Bai Xiaomo opened his eyes wide and stared at the figure on the roof. What was replaying in his mind were the memory fragments of the two people getting along day and night for several days.
Roast venison together, chase rabbits together, bicker together, and talk freely together.
They once ran wildly on the snowy fields with a wolf and a bear, and they also argued endlessly about who should wash the dishes after nightfall.
Does this guy really know this unique skill?
Research station 249 has a magic that makes everyone who lives here forget that they are in the North Pole.
It's dusk at the wine and postal pavilion, and the envoys from Yunfan Post Station are returning.
Wild gulls can't afford the cold, and it's hard to fly due to freezing rain in Sichuan.
Farewell is always sad. Since ancient times, we have been able to do this without worrying about having no friends in the future. The only person in the world who does not know you is Gao Shi.
[The end of the sky,
corner of the earth,
There are only a few close friends.
A cup of turbid wine will extinguish all the joy,
Don't dream coldly tonight. 】
Ye Luan got as close to the computer as possible, listened carefully to every word in the lyrics, and recorded it with pen and paper.
She suddenly remembered that an audience member in the live broadcast room asked her son: "Master Yu, Webmaster Bai is leaving, don't you feel sad?"
Huo Yu said this: "Sad? The icekeeper never says goodbye, but he says goodbye every day."
At that time, Ye Luan didn't understand that he had to say goodbye every day. What to say goodbye to?
Only now did Ye Luan understand why Huo Yu said such a sentence.
When the icekeeper leaves home, he has to say goodbye to his family and friends.
When they go to take office, they have to say goodbye to their comrades and colleagues.
When the end of the day and the end of the night come, we have to say goodbye to the sun and the moon.
When running around in the snowfield, say goodbye to the glacier and the snow.
He is obviously the icekeeper, the one who protects.
But we are always experiencing parting. Farewell is a sad memory for ordinary people, but for them it is just a daily experience.
After thinking about this, her eyes gradually turned red.
[Outside the pavilion,
Beside the ancient road,
The grass is green and the sky is green.
I asked you when will you return here?
Don't linger when you come. 】
The little fish lying on the ground whimpered, and his light blue eyes were covered with mist.
Xiaotuan sat pitifully on the snow, his dark eyes showing the same sadness as Huo Yu.
Animals are the most empathetic.
Just like us humans, animals have joy, anger, sadness, joy, fear, and anxiety.
Unlike humans, humans rarely empathize with other people's emotions unless they are close friends.
The emotions of animals are mostly determined by their owners.
When you are sad, your pet is sad too.
When you are happy, your pet becomes happy too.
Their feelings are completely determined by you.
Your world has flowers, grass, family, friends, and all things.
And you are the only one in their world.
That's why a growing number of scientists say interacting with animals is good for human mental health.
[The end of the sky,
corner of the earth,
Half acquaintances
Life is rarely about joyful gatherings,
There is only so much separation. 】
After the song ended, the world became silent.
This song is called "Farewell" and was composed by a musician named Li Shutong when he was studying in Japan in 1915.
How high the musicality of this song is can be seen from how widely it was sung in the world before Huo Yu.
This sad song has been sung for more than a century.
Countless people cried for it, were moved by it, and were even willing to die to create such lyrics and music.
As Pu Shu said: "A person who can write such words in his life can really die without regrets."
Huo Yu on the roof put down his guitar, with a sunny smile still on his lips. He stretched out his arm and waved twice hard at Bai Xiaomo in the distance.
Bai Xiaomo stared blankly at the figure, and when he came back to his senses, tears were streaming down his face.
"Huo Yu!" Bai Xiaomo said hoarsely, "Goodbye."
Huo Yu on the roof smiled softly and said in a voice that only he could hear:
"Xiao Mo, goodbye."
