Chapter 60
How can a school be distinguished? Especially for schools like Little Star Kindergarten, which needs to differentiate itself from ordinary schools and demonstrate that the money spent is worthwhile, its spring outing cannot be held in a nearby park like other kindergartens.
To get parents to pay for school admission next semester, they've done everything they can. This spring outing is named "Ode to Spring," and they're taking place in a place where peach blossoms are in full bloom, using music to cultivate the children's sentiments. The specially invited music teacher has won a certain music competition and performed at a certain world music hall, among other things.
For lunch, we will enjoy the Hundred Flowers Banquet at Fengtian Tower. The beauty of spring is too great to be missed.
The school specially issued a color-printed notice with a lot of information, and at the end it only had one word: money. 2,000 yuan for each child for the spring outing, which was very real.
Early in the morning, under Rong Zhou's gaze, Yaya, with a pouting mouth, was pulled into the car by Liu Jiayu's hand. Even after being sent to kindergarten by Liu Ze and Yan Shiliu and boarding the car for the outing, Yaya still looked unhappy.
There are less than 40 children in all the classes, so one bus with a teacher is enough.
As the car started, a little head popped up from the front seat. It was a little boy from Yaya's class: "Rong Yue'er, why are you unhappy? We're going on a spring outing today."
"Children, please sit still. You are not allowed to stand on your seats and play while the bus is moving." The teacher quickly restrained the restless little boy and made him sit properly. "Today is the day for our spring outing. Do you remember the nursery rhymes we learned a few days ago? Let's sing together, okay?"
The tour bus was filled with the chirping and uneven sounds of children's songs.
Liu Jiayu looked at her unhappy sister and scratched her hair: "Don't be angry, you have been angry with the master for several days."
"I also hope that Dad can pick me up like Big Tree did with you."
"My dad said there are things adults can't do."
"No, my dad is very awesome, he...he..." After saying this several times, Yaya couldn't say the next words. She was so anxious that she wanted to cry.
Liu Jiayu didn't want to make her cry, so she quickly agreed with her and said, "Master must be very powerful, but scary."
"It's not scary. Dad is so nice." Even though Yaya was full of resentment, she didn't want to hear anything bad about her father.
Liu Jiayu had no choice but to stop crying. She peeled a candy and put it into her sister's mouth. She also ate one herself. It was so sweet. As long as she didn't cry, she would be happy.
Although he was telling the truth, he would not argue with his sister. He was indeed afraid of his master. When his master smiled, he just wanted to hide.
Mingxiu Garden is a paid park with relatively few visitors. The environment is elegant. The peach blossoms are in full bloom, and the pink color hits you in the face as you pass by the park's screen wall. The mountains are pink, and the reflected water is also pink, so it has become an overwhelming pink.
The teachers spread blankets on the grass and took out toys and snacks, and even the most unhappy feelings were driven out of our minds.
The invited teacher stood in the rain of flowers and played the violin happily for the children.
The accompanying teachers also tried their best to help the children listen to the music and enjoy the joy of the music by clapping their hands.
When this music plays, Yaya always listens most attentively. It may be that her love for music is innate.
Although there were not many children and many teachers accompanying them, there were always one or two who were not seen. The one I am talking about here is Yaya.
She is very sensitive to sounds. Amid the melodious music of the violin, the noisy voices of the children, and the rhythmic clapping of the teacher, she heard another sound that attracted her very much and made her want to find out what it was.
Of course, the adults' advice was not in vain. She also knew to take Liu Jiayu with her when she left.
"Sister, you can't leave." Liu Jiayu kept looking back at the teachers who were getting farther and farther away.
"Are you coming? If you don't come, I'll go by myself." The voice in her ear kept leading her to find it.
Liu Jiayu had no choice. He couldn't let his sister go alone. Liu Jiayu didn't hear anything, but his sister said there were sounds. They could no longer see where the teacher was. "Is my sister here? She's a bit far away."
Yaya didn't even look back, holding hands and walking forward: "It's just in front."
It was just around the corner, and the peach blossoms still covered the sky. However, a corner of the pavilion appeared in the peach forest. Yaya pointed there and said, "That's it."
Liu Jiayu breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the place. It was not far away, so she accompanied her sister to take a look and then quickly took her back.
They passed the peach blossoms that blocked their view and found that there was no one on the pavilion platform that was taller than them.
My sister looked around in disbelief: "It's impossible, the sound clearly came from here." She even wanted to go around and go up the stairs over there.
Liu Jiayu looked up at the pavilion, and then stopped her sister from going up. There was indeed something there. In the shadow of the pavilion, in the shadow of the shadow, the black smoke was humanoid. He was sitting in the shadow, playing something with his hands. Liu Jiayu couldn't hear the sound, but Yaya could hear it.
"Brother Jiayu, did you hear that sound? It's so beautiful."
Liu Jiayu nodded, turned around and looked around. Liu Jiayu pointed to the foot of the mountain not far away and said, "That should be the sound."
There were several old men at the foot of the mountain, holding various musical instruments in their hands, playing them with humming and squeaking sounds. The instrument in the hand of one of the old men looked very similar to the black shadow in the pavilion.
"Really?" Yaya looked at the foot of the mountain and then at the pavilion, feeling a little confused. She raised her foot and was about to walk down the mountain.
Liu Jiayu held her back and said, "It's too far down there. Just listen here. You can't go down."
At this time, Yaya was obedient. She held her brother's hand and stood under the pavilion, listening carefully to the music floating in the air.
"Brother Jiayu's music is so beautiful. There are mountains, water, flowers and birds. It's so beautiful. I want to learn it too." Yaya listened while moving her fingers in the air with bright eyes and couldn't help humming along with the tune.
Liu Jiayu heard nothing. He didn't know what the world Yaya heard was like, but it must be beautiful. He just stood there quietly, accompanying her, looking at the pavilion with his eyes.
If he could read, he would know that the plaque on the pavilion reads, "Yinyin Pavilion" hanging on the left.
Beneath the pavilion they were standing was an inscription introducing the pavilion: "In ancient times, the pavilion was gifted to a friend in a land of thousands of layers of snow. A thousand years of ancient music was finally sung. Once the pavilion was parted, life and death were distant, leaving only a lingering sound." According to historical records in Wenxuan Tower, the gifted zither sheet music has been lost, and the remaining ones are all self-compiled based on historical records.
If Liu Jiayu could understand, he could prove that this platform was real. It had been preserved through historical processes and had been turned into a pavilion. But now he was just a child who could not read or write.
The figure in the pavilion disappeared. Looking at his sister's happy face after hearing this, he didn't think of anything else: "Let's go back." His sister's wish was fulfilled, and Liu Jiayu felt that he was a qualified brother.
"Okay, that sounds great. I've memorized it and I'm going to learn it when I get back."
"Yaya is the best. She will definitely learn it quickly."
They walked back to the camp chatting and laughing. From a distance, they saw that the camp was in chaos. The children and teachers were all gathered in one place. No one noticed that they had been missing for more than ten minutes.
They walked over and saw Lingling lying on the blanket through the gap. Lingling's face was pale, her hands were tightly covering her chest, and she saw the two people returning through the gap with her frown, and she smiled at them with a forced smile.
She had been worried when she saw the two of them leave, but now that they had finally returned, she felt relieved and covered herself, making her heart feel strange.
Hear the teachers talking.
"I've called, the ambulance will be here soon."
"Lingling has a bad heart. I told her not to come."
Lingling heard all the sounds. Her eyes revealed guilt and self-blame. She wanted to play with her new friends. She didn't want to be alone again. She wondered if she would have to go back to the way things were before. Yaya would be scared.
Squeezing next to Lingling, Yaya held Lingling's hand. She didn't know what was wrong with the child, she seemed to be in pain.
Liu Jiayu stretched out his hand to draw the pattern his father taught him on Lingling's forehead. The little spiritual power in his body had just gathered at his fingertips when it was taken away by the teacher.
"Children, please don't make trouble. Lingling is sick. Please go to the side first. When Lingling is well, you can play together again."
Liu Jiayu looked at his fingertips and couldn't gather any more spiritual power. He couldn't help.
Finally, an ambulance drove into the park and Lingling was taken away on a stretcher.
