Chapter 622: Hundreds of birds paying homage to the phoenix
Chapter 622 A hundred birds come to the phoenix
Xia Ling glanced at him and silently distanced herself.
The rain was still falling, and the undertaker was reading a eulogy. She thought of Shao Hui's funeral a few months ago, and she had some doubts for a moment. Wasn't she really punished?
Warm the cave, sprinkle soil, and seal the tomb.
The old dean held his cane and wiped his tears with the back of his hand.
Someone asked Xia Ling to come forward and sing.
She was dressed in black, with a solemn look on her face. She sang a funeral song written for her two children in front of the tombstone made of blue bricks: "If there is an afterlife, I will be happy in the afterlife... Have family members to cherish, have parents in harmony... Have dreams, have light, There is peace and blessing…”
Songs linger in the cemetery surrounded by green pine trees.
At the same time.
Deep in a certain mountain.
An old man was holding an incense spoon and adding incense to the jade piece that separated the fire. The smoke was rising, and suddenly there was no wind, and a bird flew by, making a long chirping sound.
The old man looked up at the mountains.
Deep in the dense green forest, there are birds flying by in twos and threes with the same song.
“The phoenix...sings.” He murmured.
Beside him, there was a young man, dressed in white, with an elegant face and a hint of beauty, and indifferent eyes. It was Xia Moyan. "Father," Xia Moyan asked softly, "what is Phoenix singing?"
Doesn’t their stupid phoenix sing every day?
The old man was still looking at the birds flying by in groups. They were heading towards the east, in the direction of City S, and they were chirping one after another with clear melody, like a natural orchestra.
"A hundred birds are coming to the phoenix..." the old man said, "Do you remember the day your sister was born? These birds also sang like this, so I knew that God gave us a phoenix. She is a singer, and she usually sings, but that cannot be regarded as a phoenix. The true song of the phoenix. Do you know what the true song of the phoenix is?”
Xia Moyan doesn’t know.
He only knew that his father didn’t need to answer of his own, he just had to listen.
Sure enough, the old man said: "The real song of the phoenix is prayer. She came from Nirvana and has the power to communicate with heaven and earth. Those who are blessed by her will do what she wishes."
Xia Moyan raised his eyebrows slightly, never expecting that his stupid sister had such ability.
No wonder, from ancient times to the present, Phoenix has been the most noble person in the family.
He looked at the birds flying in the sky, and was lost in thought for a moment.
In the cemetery.
Xia Ling finished her song, and everyone couldn't come back to their senses for a long time. Her singing is so beautiful, as if it brings people to the other side of peace. At that moment, everyone has no distracting thoughts, peace and tranquility.
The sounds of nature and Sanskrit sounds.
Faintly, they had a feeling that this girl's future would definitely be more than just a singing queen.
Xia Ling turned around and walked back. Suddenly, a child rushed out of the stab and threw a stone at her - "Bad woman! I told you to kill Xiaohai and Songsong!"
She was still immersed in sadness and caught off guard.
The crowd around her exclaimed that the stone was the size of a fist, and if it hit her, she would definitely be injured. Suddenly, a man rushed out and protected her in his arms. The fist-sized stone hit the man's arm heavily. The man pushed her aside, and the two people's center of gravity was unstable. , fell to the ground.
Xia Ling opened her eyes slightly and saw Pei Ziheng's handsome, god-like face close at hand.
She instinctively reached out to push him, but she couldn't.
“Let me go!” she said with some embarrassment. Pei Ziheng let her go and helped her stand up: "Are you okay?"
She shook her head. Her long black dress was stained with mud and her hair was in a messy state. Over there, the child has been controlled and is still very agitated, struggling and yelling.
The adults pulled the child away in a hurry.
Xia Ling was still in shock. The teachers at the orphanage had already gathered around her: "Miss Ye, Director Pei, are you okay? I'm so sorry. The child is too young and ignorant. The two children who died were his friends. He was too sad. , that’s why he acted so excessively.”
Xia Ling shook her head: "I'm fine."
The teachers were concerned about Pei Ziheng again: "Where's Mr. Pei, the child just hit you, were you injured?"
Pei Ziheng pulled up the sleeves of his suit to expose his forearm. He saw a large bruise on it that was shocking and slightly swollen. The teachers whispered and tried their best to take him to treatment.
Pei Ziheng said: "I'm fine. Fortunately, it didn't hit you."
The last words he said were to Xia Ling.
Xia Ling also saw the injury on his forearm and felt a little guilty, "Thank you."
He was very gentle: "I won't let you get hurt." His tone was low and hoarse, with a hint of ambiguity.
Xia Ling took another step back and said, "It's time for me to go." As Sister Maina left with a group of staff, she turned back after only a few steps and glanced at him.
Pei Ziheng watched her go away.
Chuchen appeared next to Pei Ziheng: "Boss, let me take care of your injury."
Pei Ziheng lowered his eyes slightly and said, "It's okay, stay for a few more days." He was the one who instigated the beating of the child. He also deliberately stood closest to her, always paying attention. Once the stone was thrown, He would rush to protect her immediately. Xiao Ling is a very soft-hearted girl. Sure enough, after taking this stone on her behalf, although she still kept a distance from him, she couldn't help but look back.
This is a good sign.
"Go back to the Emperor." He said to Chu Chen, "I have been working overtime these days to handle official duties. When Xiao Ling resumes her concert tour, I will continue to attend."
Chu Chen responded respectfully.
Xia Ling returned home and felt sad recalling the burial scene. It turns out that no matter how much the orphanage tries to mend things, the children still hate her. This kind of hatred was like a sharp sword, hurting her deeply.
She habitually took out her mobile phone and wanted to call Li Lei again.
However, thinking about how busy he sounded these days on the phone, she couldn't bear to disturb him so often. Sister Maina and the others are also very busy. She put down the phone and was lost in silence, feeling that the world was so big but there was no one to talk to.
The contact with Li Lei became less and less.
After a few days, she couldn't even contact him at all.
She was very worried and asked Tan Ying if he knew what was going on and whether he would be in any danger. Tan Ying inquired about the headquarters and told her: "The boss received a temporary task. There is no signal there. It will be fine in ten days and a half."
She was still worried, and when she asked again, she couldn't get any more information.
Tan Ying doesn't like her, she knows it.
Among Li Lei's subordinates, only Arnold and the others had a good relationship with her. Unfortunately, they didn't know what happened.
A period of time passed in this state of uneasiness.
The anthelmintic drug incident gradually subsided.
Sister Maina told her that she could continue with the third concert tour.
