Journey to the Stars

On December 12, many places in Shanghai ushered in the first snow.

Some passers-by who breathed out stopped to watch, some happy lovers embraced under the snow, and some hard-working students put on their Christmas costumes and stood on the street handing out small gifts.The part-time job is Xing Yi, this job was introduced by a senior in the school, he saw that there was no class in the afternoon and the salary was good, so he took it.Xingyi plans to remit all the money he earned the first time to his father, and then sign it: Your son.

Although Shanghai has mostly sleet and sleet, and there are few snow-covered scenes, there are still many children who are particularly happy, waving their little hands towards the white sky and running around like gliders.

Yan Hai drove a seven-seater commercial vehicle over, and the car stopped gracefully just like his own.

Xingyi took a closer look, Gao Lao, Xiao Yezi, Xiao Te, Madman, and Xinrou were all in the car.Yan Hai, who was driving the car, still had that mysterious and cool expression, and said, "Christmas boy, get in the car."

"What the hell are you doing? I still have to write songs after get off work." Xingyi asked.

"Sao Nian, what else to write, today is your eighteenth birthday." The sextet sang.

"Oh, my birthday..."

Xingyi insisted on completing the tasks for the day, and the salary was a trivial matter, and if he promised others, he would stick to it.Everyone also started to work, there are many people to handle things, and they will all be distributed in a short time, so the time for departure is not too late.

The car bumped into the road section bound for Zhejiang, and Xing Yi, who was sitting in the co-driver, asked suspiciously where they were going?Everyone said that they would hold a special birthday party for him-that is, go camping in a place with mountains!

Xingyi didn't understand why the camping had to go so far away. Short said that Xingyi didn't know something. Shanghai is an alluvial plain, and there are basically no mountains suitable for climbing.However, there are many mountains in Zhejiang, including Yandang Mountain, Daming Mountain, Mogan Mountain, Tiantai Mountain, Tianmu Mountain and other famous mountains.Everyone enthusiastically discussed their climbing experiences. Mr. Gao patted his chest and threatened to take a long trip before graduation next year.Xiao Yezi suggested that everyone should organize a trip to other places for their birthdays in the future.Xingyi obeys everyone on the outside, but he has a rebellious heart inside. If he follows them, he will not be able to survive the harsh winter every minute!

He poked Yan Hai who was concentrating on driving with his finger, brother, have you decided which mountain to go to?

Yan Hai squeezed out a word coldly from between his teeth, no.

"The group of chattering people in the back, don't rush to local treasure, hornet's nest, and where to browse decisively!"

The group finally chose a little-known hill, which is better than the natural scenery and lack of craftsmanship.When I got off the car, Xiaoxue had stopped, and the sun was not so dazzling.After staying in the noisy city for a long time, you might as well be in the green mountains and green valleys occasionally.Bathed in plant-based phytoncide, let the negative oxygen ions cleanse the spleen and lungs, and the fatigue on the body will be swept away, how comfortable and comfortable.

The mist covering the entire mountain is like white dragons entwined, which is particularly artistic.The clear stream nearby is gurgling, and the water depth is only below the calf, but it can be passed by stepping on stones.The miscellaneous branches on both sides of the stream clung to the maple trees that were about to lose their red leaves, and the heart could not help but chant "Dongshan reflects the clouds and the river is red, and the fallen leaves flow on both sides of the maple." (from Tian Dezhou's "Classic on Red Leaves", the original text "Autumn Mountain" Changed to "Winter Mountain".)

After camping on a leeward flat ground, everyone worked together to plan a picnic.Usually, I don't see that Xinrou is a helper in life, and picks food and camping related equipment.Therefore, as the commander-in-chief, Xinrou is the chef, Madman and Gao Lao are in charge of setting up the stove, Xiao Te and Xiao Yezi are in charge of collecting firewood and lighting the fire, and Xingyi and Yan Hai are in charge of cleaning the ingredients.Just touching the brook water with your fingers would make your bones tremble, Xing Yi threw the job to that guy, and gave him a black and stinky face.

"Okay, okay, I'll wash it, you kid can enjoy the surrounding scenery with peace of mind." You don't appreciate celebrating your birthday, your wings grow hard, right, Yan Haimo thought. "Look, there's a silver fish in the river!"

"where?"

"here!"

"Where is it?"

"Stand up and watch."

With his long legs kicked from behind, Xingyi fell into the creek, and the water splashed everywhere. Yan Hai, who succeeded in teasing him, laughed loudly. Is this "birthday gift" enough to surprise?

"You want to freeze me to death?!"

"I prepared an extra set of clothes and put them in the back seat of the car. At most, I will lend them to you. Let's go for a winter swim!"

"You big-headed ghost, my panties are all wet!"

"Underwear...forgive me for not borrowing it."

"My surname is Yan, if I catch a cold, what kind of bullshit brotherhood will be broken!"

"That's right, I'm the brother, you're the bullshit."

Yan Hai waved his hand and turned to leave, letting the fuming Xingyi splash water on the bank.The deeper the relationship is, the more joyful it is that there is no need to show mercy to the other party.

The joke was so big, it's not like Yan Hai didn't leave a way out for himself.

After the meal, he held the birthday cake, saying that it was chocolate mousse made by his mother at home, with fresh and delicious strawberries on the surface and eighteen burning candles.

It means officially stepping into the ranks of adults.The taller and taller person seems to feel the strength of bone growth every day, and his thoughts and cognition are also getting deeper and wider.Xingyi used to spend his birthday facing the four walls every year, and passed another year in a daze, as if he didn't have time to complete any plans.I never thought that I would be in such a place, accompanied by so many people, and receive so many sincere blessings.

The temperature of the bonfire dispelled the severe cold, and everyone gathered together and chatted happily while rubbing their hands.Seeing that Yan Hai took the initiative to support his clothes and shoes with tree branches to dry, Master Xingyi forgave him a lot.What's more, the clothes this guy lent him were all brand-name clothes, and the warmth was really worth what you paid for.

Xing Yi poked his arm again, and asked, did you go back to the small town to deal with things a while ago?Yan Hai said it was a trivial matter, and at the same time he had a chat with Wei Qi this time, and the other party agreed that the management period of the bar would not be three years, and Yan Hai could be released earlier to do what he wanted.Xingyi asked him again if he thought about what to do, Yan Hai said after a little thought, open a gallery.Recently, he has taken the completed paintings to discuss cooperation with others. If the plan goes well, he hopes to rent a big house after accumulating a certain amount of capital. He will operate a gallery in the front to sell paintings, and then set up a studio to do other art-related activities. project.

This is Brother Hai's dream?Everyone is full of curiosity.

Anyway, give him some time.Yan Hai said.

Speaking of which, when we were talking about each other's dreams at the base last time, Short hadn't joined the band yet. A person like him who can play all kinds of music at his fingertips, he can come happily, and he can play passionately. He is also the winner of the International Piano Competition. Prize winners, why don't you apply for professional art colleges?

Short replied that most of his music was taught by his grandfather. Since childhood, his grandfather taught him that the charm of music does not lie in how skillfully he plays the 88 keys, but that, as master Claude Debussy said, music is The passionate free art is outdoor art, as boundless as nature, like the wind, like the sky, like the ocean!After joining the current band, he feels this free and happy attitude from his teammates even more. It doesn't matter whether they are academic or non-academic, but their identities are different, and the exploration of music is a lifelong pursuit.

Everyone has exactly the same idea on this point, no wonder they are so in tune.

In addition to talking about the dreams in my heart, the topics discussed also expanded to the atmosphere of the music scene, employment prospects, and social impetuousness.The current generation is very strange. They like to worry about the country and the people at a young age, like to cherish the memory of the past, and like to lament the impermanence.Talking like a seasoned adult but still exuding childishness, perhaps as they say, once the topic of "life" is involved, it will become abnormally heavy.

When the breeze blows, thousands of voices are dormant, and the empty mountain seems to hide many unknown stories.

After Xingyi woke up in the middle of the night, he walked out of the tent and sat for a while, looking at the small stone road in the mountains that was as dark as ink, he hesitated for a while, then turned on the search mode of his mobile phone and moved forward.

He desperately wants to overcome psychological barriers.

Every day when he goes to sleep, he has to turn on the projector lamp in the bedroom of his old residence to fall asleep.The darker the light, the more uncomfortable it is.He can no longer be in a cocoon like this, he must calm down that memory in his mind.

3 minutes, 5 minutes, 10 minutes... Borrowing the faint light, Xingyi clenched his teeth and took a step forward.The mountain road goes up gently, with little drop. There are only some exposed tree roots on the ground, which are rough and cross-distributed, and it is easy to trip if you are not careful.

The brightness of the mobile phone can barely see the outline of the front, and Siye is so quiet that even the subtle changes of breathing can be felt, so quiet that it is daunting.After passing the first fork, the road started to be difficult to walk, with a lot of small gravel.Xingyi, who was about to turn back, stepped on the air, and his phone flew into the dense grass. Finally, the defense built by his subconscious collapsed in the huge darkness...

After a long, long time, a bright beam of light appeared, as if it could penetrate Xing Yi's heart.

The oncoming person held a flashlight, suppressed his thoughts, and said to him in a gentle tone: "Don't worry too much, you have worked hard."

Yan Hai was a very light sleeper, and the fact that there were a few big boys crowded in the tent made him sleep unsteadily, so he turned over sleepily, and found that his younger brother who was sleeping beside him was gone.After waiting for more than ten minutes, the person still did not come back. He activated the positioning software of his mobile phone, and the location point was getting farther and farther away from the camp, so he quickly put on his down jacket and chased up the mountain.

"Hey, Ah Xing, do you hear—"

"Brother Hai, where are you—"

Xinrou's voice sounded over and over again, not only her, but everyone else followed because they were worried about Xingyi's safety after being disturbed by Yan Hai.

Taking a look at the time, it was more than 5:20, and the lunatic said that he would not be able to make up for the feeling of returning to the cage for a long time anyway, so why not climb to the top of the mountain to watch the sunrise together!

Xingyi walked in the middle, and everyone tried to shine the light of the flashlight on him as much as possible, and the light gave a little warmth for no reason.And Yan Hai, who was walking in the front, asked, do you still remember our childhood experiences?

Remember.Xing Yi replied.

When they were eight years old, in order to see Mr. Fate's farewell tour, the two teenagers went to the next county by car after school.Xing Yi refused to go at first, feeling that the distance was a bit long and he had never left the small town, Yan Hai patted him on the shoulder and said, didn't you say, I'll cover you!

After getting off the bus, because they were not familiar with the way of life, the two asked the local residents to find out that there was a leisure park across from the open-air stage. If they wanted to arrive before the performance, the only fastest way was to go straight through the park.

However, while walking, he got lost again.

The ferns on the road rubbed against the skin on their necks and arms, and from time to time, hard moths flew away from them, hurting their eyes.But thinking that after my favorite band disbands, I may not have the opportunity to watch performances in the future, so I must not give up halfway.

The two teenagers blended into the night, put their arms around each other's shoulders to encourage each other, and no longer spoke a word.Until a turn, across the criss-crossing black tree trunks, a little bit of light appeared faintly in sight.The two teenagers heard a strong call coming from the bottom of their chest, calling for the place within half a mile.

"A Xing, it's the stage/top of the mountain, we're here!"
