Chapter 27 The fireworks in the world are the most soothing to mortal hearts.
Li Lili took Li Yi to see movies, eat, and go to the amusement park to experience life 10 years later. During this period, Tang Huiyun tried her best to close the distance with Li Yi. The other person seemed approachable, but once he wanted to
If you get too close, you'll hit an insurmountable wall.
In the end, Tang Huiyun felt ashamed and went back first.
Li Yi didn't feel much about this. He was a little immersed in the colorful world of the city. This was a scene he had never seen before.
Life 10 years later has completely exceeded Li Yi's imagination. Whether it is the huge screen in the movie theater or the dazzling entertainment projects in the amusement park, he feels the passage of time and the richness of modern materials.
The quality of life of the people is so high that no other era in the past five thousand years has been able to compare with it.
Li Yi once worked as a wandering Taoist priest for a long time. He lived among the common people all the year round, and the people he saw the most were the people. The life of ancient society really confirms the saying: "In prosperity, the people suffer, and in death, the people suffer."
No matter how prosperous the dynasty was, it was not even half as good as the modern one.
This is the best of times, at least from the perspective of a wandering Taoist priest.
At night, the sky darkens, but the whole city emits more dazzling light.
Li Yi stood by a river that crossed the city, holding on to the railing and looking at the colorful river illuminated by neon lights, like lanterns floating on the water in a lantern festival.
"I haven't seen the Lantern Festival for many years." Li Yi sighed inexplicably.
There were gradually more people around, including young couples, couples with children, and elderly people.
Li Lili stood behind and looked at Li Yi's back. For some reason, she felt that the world was divided into two halves, one half belonged to her cousin and the other half belonged to them.
She and Li Yi were obviously only three steps away, but they seemed to be separated by a world.
Li Lili summoned up the courage to come to Li Yi and asked, "Brother, aren't you used to the city?"
"No, it's very good here." Li Yi shook his head. There is nothing bad in the city. Life is very convenient and there are many entertainment activities.
"Looking at how you usually act like a monk, I thought you didn't like it." Li Lili breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Yidao: "Xiaoyin is hidden in the mausoleum, and Dayin is hidden in the market. If you want to practice practice, it is the same everywhere. If you are affected by the surrounding environment, it means that your practice has not reached home."
Li Lili covered her mouth and chuckled: "Pfft...what are you talking about? It's like the monks in the temple."
Suddenly there was a commotion in the distance, and the two of them turned their heads in unison. About three hundred meters to their right, there was a bridge. A large number of pedestrians gathered on the bridge. They all raised their heads and looked at the bridge supports, the dark supports.
A figure can be vaguely seen above.
Li Yi saw clearly that the figure was a middle-aged uncle in slovenly clothes. Firefighters had already arrived below him and were rescuing him.
But the middle-aged man obviously didn't want to be rescued and angrily scolded the firefighters who were climbing up.
"...Don't come over here, I'll jump down if you come over again!"
"...Okay, okay, I won't go. Please calm down."
Li Lili watched for a long time and finally understood what happened. She said: "Someone commits suicide by jumping off the bridge again. They happen almost every year. The bridge is equipped with a two-meter-high protective net, but they are still climbed onto the bridge. Who really wants to die?"
It can’t be stopped.”
"Why commit suicide?" Li Yi was very confused. Modern times are not paradise, but they are hundreds of times better than ancient society.
Li Lili replied: "Maybe I lost a lot of money in the stock market. Adding leverage to stocks is really a step from heaven to hell. One second you can make hundreds of thousands, and the next second you can owe millions."
Li Yi suddenly understood that he didn't understand what stocks were, but he could hear that high probability was the same as gambling. The next second he heard the man's answer again, the fireman's answer.
Why can't you think of committing suicide?
"...My family is poor, my children have to go to school, and I have cancer, and they have to treat me."
"...If I jump into the river, it won't affect other people."
At this time, Li Lili added: "Of course, there are also poor people who are overwhelmed and have thoughts of committing suicide. Often a trivial matter will become the straw that breaks the camel's back."
What killed him was not cancer, but the need to treat him?
Li Yi asked: "Lily, do you have a bamboo flute? Or other musical instruments."
"I have it in the car." Li Lili is also a senior bamboo flute enthusiast and usually brings it with her in the car.
"Lend it to me."
"Oh." Although Li Lili was confused as to why she suddenly asked for a bamboo flute, she returned to the car not far away and took out a bamboo flute.
"What are you going to do?"
"When you feel something, play a tune."
Li Yi gently put the bamboo flute to his lips, and as he exhaled, the ethereal and quiet sound of the flute swayed. Along the river full of neon lights, he headed towards the bridge in the distance.
This time the song is no longer the second uncle's, nor is it the common song from the previous life, it is a song composed by himself.
The voice was soft and flat, without any climax, just a distant voice caressing everyone's head. It was as ordinary as dinner after returning home from get off work. It was the sound of family members eating, the fallen leaves accidentally glimpsed while walking on the road, and it was summer. The first bite of ice cream...
On both sides of the river, pedestrians walking here stopped one after another, closing their eyes and listening to the music coming from nowhere. Even the vehicles that were driving involuntarily slowed down or parked on the side of the road.
The emotional uncle standing on the bridge covered his face in pain and burst into tears.
The music that passed through their ears seemed to contain some kind of magic power, reminding them of the little things in their daily lives and the small blessings that they brought to them every day.
The fireworks in the world are the most soothing to mortal hearts.
In the noisy city, the sound of the flute paints a pure land.
Li Yi has seen countless sufferings in the world, and he has also seen many happinesses. He has gone through hell-like troubled times, plagues, droughts, and floods, and he has also seen ordinary lantern festivals, celebrations, and harvests.
But after all, he likes happiness, likes the joy of rescuing one person and the whole family, and likes the prosperity he walked through with her.
At the end of the song, people could not recover from the music for a long time.
When Li Lili came to her senses, a tear slipped down her cheek unconsciously. She turned around and looked blankly at Li Yi, who was standing in the neon lights, holding a bamboo flute. For some reason, the vague feeling of alienation disappeared.
"Brother, what's the name of this song?"
"Let's call it the human heart. The ordinary things we see are all real and small happiness."
In the distance, a middle-aged man has already stepped down from the bridge support with the help of firefighters.
At this time, a phone call interrupted Li Lili's thoughts.
"Hey, um, I am, what passed! Brother! You passed!" Li Lili stomped her feet happily. She grabbed Li Yi's shoulders, put her phone in his face, and looked at the admission notice sent by the school.
"Full marks in math and 70% in Chinese! I'm so awesome, my scores are as good as before."
Li Yi took a look, his emotions didn't fluctuate too much, he just smiled and nodded:
"So good."

Qingzhou company headquarters.
Dongyun was eating wontons alone in the corner of the cafeteria. From time to time, little girls came over to strike up a conversation, but they were all driven away by the faint sword intent.
Suddenly the sound of a flute came, soft and calm.
Dongyun suddenly raised his head, looked around, and finally located the source of the sound, which came from a civilian employee's mobile phone.
He got up and walked straight over, looked at the phone on the table and asked, "Where is the place in the video?"
The civilian staff was stunned for a moment and said, "Let me ask you."
I clicked on the comment and saw a reply from the poster.
Yucheng, Qinghejiang.
"Thanks."
