Sitting on the sofa and feeling the Suona knowledge and skills constantly coming from his mind, Su Chen slowly opened his eyes. In just a moment, he mastered the Suona related skills and knowledge, and also received a system reward for the song "
Hundreds of birds pay homage to the phoenix!
Perhaps it was due to his alienation from traditional culture before, but now that he had information related to the suona in his mind, Su Chen had an idea of the phrase "all kinds of musical instruments, the suona is the king".
Suona can be used in many occasions such as weddings, funerals, festivals, etc., but what I received is just a short part of its long cultural history, Suona for funerals!
The song gifted to me by the system is the extremely famous "Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix" in Suona!
Volume 915 of "Taiping Yulan" quotes "Book of Tang":
Haizhou Yanfeng saw it on the city, and hundreds of birds followed it, flying northeast to Cangwu Mountain.
The music is as the lyrics mean.
If you are an ordinary person, you really are not worthy of this song.
Only those who are highly virtuous and respected by everyone are worthy of enjoying this song!
...
the next day,
When Su Chen was sorting out Chu Guozhong's information at the company, the phone next to him rang again!
He looked startled, then quickly stepped forward to answer the phone.
Usually the people who call the company are customers.
Don’t dare to neglect at all:
"Hello, this is Su's Funeral Company, which provides professional funeral services!"
He is also becoming more and more proficient in business spoken English.
Listen,
On the other end of the phone, a relatively childish voice came:
"Hello, I saw your package online and want to buy a funeral service!"
Su Chen was a little surprised. The voice seemed to be that of a young girl, and it didn't sound like someone with any illness.
How could someone so young want to purchase funeral services?
However, he soon suppressed the doubts in his heart.
Curiosity failed to overcome his dedicated service, and he immediately responded enthusiastically:
"Okay, we have services at various price points here. Which one are you going to buy?"
The other party paused for a moment before continuing:
"You didn't buy it for me. Can you come to the First Hospital? I'll wait for you here!"
"Of course, please wait!"
Su Chen didn't hesitate and agreed directly.
This is another business deal that he can't let go easily.
After asking her specific location, Su Chen simply packed up, locked the glass door of the store again, got on his motorcycle, and drove towards the No. 1 Hospital in the county.
At this time.
In the first hospital.
In a certain ward, coughing sounds kept coming.
A middle-aged woman with a haggard face was lying on the hospital bed. She quickly stretched out her right hand and covered her mouth with the cloth beside the bed. She forcibly stopped the urge to continue coughing and wiped the red blood on the corner of her mouth naturally.
.
The woman put down the blood-stained cloth in her hand, smiled with difficulty, and showed a kind smile. She looked at the sobbing girl lying beside the bed, and patted her head with her left hand:
"Xiao Nian, the principal is fine, why are you crying?"
"Principal Tang! I'm scared!"
The tears couldn't stop falling from the girl's eyes, and she couldn't bear to look at Principal Tang's haggard appearance anymore.
Seeing this, Tang Ying was about to speak to comfort the child, but she frowned!
My abdomen started to hurt again, this pain was so painful that it was worse than death!
She clenched her teeth, endured the pain, and spoke to the girl with a trembling voice:
"It's okay, the principal is okay!"
Although she tried her best to hide it, her body couldn't stop shaking!
Pain, pain that goes deep into the bone marrow!
The passage of time brought wrinkles to her, but it also brought illness.
Her name is Tang Ying, and she is the principal of a mountain village school with a tenure of eighteen years.
Eighteen years ago, she was assigned to work as a support teacher in a remote mountain village in a poverty-stricken and difficult environment. This lasted eighteen years!
In order to educate the children well, she has traveled countless rugged mountain roads; in order to prevent the school from being cancelled, she has also overcome countless difficulties; but now, she is confined to this hospital bed and is riddled with vicious illnesses.
During these years,
She walks the most on rugged mountain roads, and thinks most about how to teach children in the mountains.
Only, when it comes to my own affairs, I have always been confused.
A few years ago, she was told by the doctor that she had gastric cancer and needed good treatment and maintenance, but she didn't take it seriously. At that time, she spent all her energy in order for the first batch of children to successfully enter school and see the world outside the mountains.
All the energy goes into preparing the children for funding and exam qualifications.
Hard work pays off, despite all kinds of looks and misunderstandings.
She still successfully allowed the students to walk out of the mountains with confidence and hope, enter one ideal school after another, and see the world outside the mountains.
The child smiled, and so did she.
However, what was supposed to come would eventually come, and the gastric cancer finally reached the advanced stage as she insisted on a tiring schedule.
Principal Tang, who was always considered indestructible by the children, now collapsed on the hospital bed from exhaustion.
Knowing that Principal Tang was seriously ill, these students decided to take care of her. She used to take care of the children, but now it is the children's turn to take care of her. In order not to delay their studies, the children began to take turns coming to the hospital for duty.
Because the mountainous areas are far away, each child is on duty for a week.
This week is the turn of this little girl, Bai Xiaonian.
Although she is still young, she still doesn't understand many things.
But she was able to take care of herself and was more confident to take care of Principal Tang in the hospital bed.
The number she just contacted the funeral company was also from her.
It was Tang Ying's idea to contact the funeral company.
With terminal cancer, she knew her time was running out.
Perhaps it was God's will. Just today, she received a text message from Su's Funeral Company, which marked many services. Among them, the sentence that impressed her most was: Create a mysterious and terrifying past for you!
Looking back on her ordinary life, it seems that the girl who was determined to enter the world has completely changed her original intention due to reality. Her whole life has been centered around children. Although she knew that she could not accompany all the children through their journey, she did not expect that
, I will get off the bus early, still so fast.
Create a mysterious and terrifying past?
Tang Ying was a little moved.
So, she contacted the funeral company.
Due to her severe cough, she could only ask Xiaonian to contact him.
soon,
Su Chen appeared at the door of the ward as promised.
Smelling the unique smell of medicine in the hospital, Su Chen straightened his clothes and walked in steadily.
In the entire ward, there was only a slender little girl in front of Tang Ying's bed. It was not difficult to recognize them.
Su Chen walked forward and greeted politely:
"Hello, I am Su Chen from Su's Funeral Company!"
Taking advantage of the situation, I glanced at the middle-aged woman wearing glasses on the hospital bed.
It seems that this customer is the one who wants to order the service.
As for the little girl...it doesn't look like her child?
"Ahem, that's pretty fast!"
Tang Ying coughed twice in pain, wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth while responding.
Xiaonian on the side looked at Su Chen nervously and did not dare to speak.
There was some timidity in his eyes.
"This is the price list of our funeral services. Please take a look at it! I don't know which service you are looking for online. Our different services correspond to different prices. The price is the same for everyone. Professionals are
You create a mysterious and terrifying past!”
Su Chen, who had gone through the previous task, got to the point more skillfully, took out the price list and handed it to Tang Ying on the hospital bed.
She took a look at the price list and frowned immediately!
She saw those services in the text message, but there was no corresponding price. Now after seeing the expensive prices, her eyes were filled with hesitation. Her previous expectations for the funeral seemed to disappear at this moment.
It was canceled a lot.
Although the service is really good and unique, the price... is too expensive!
"Is there anything cheaper here?"
Tang Ying adjusted her glasses and asked weakly.
Su Chen looked startled. Could it be that the price he set was really too high?
After all, Chu Guozhong felt the same way before.
At this time, Tang Ying's information appeared in his mind.
[Name: Tang Ying
Position: Principal
Remaining life: 18 hours
Personal assets: 300 yuan
Recommended services: 99 yuan package funeral/199 yuan special funeral]
After seeing Tang Ying's message, Su Chen was very surprised that she actually triggered a special funeral service worth 199 yuan. According to the results of the system analysis, she deserved to sing the song "A Hundred Birds Pay Attendance to the Phoenix!"
Thinking of the special nature of this piece of music, Su Chen immediately stood in awe of the middle-aged woman in front of him and quickly introduced:
"We now have a rather special funeral service. If you are willing to pay me one hundred and ninety-nine yuan, I will play the song "Hundred Birds Worship the Phoenix" on the suona at your funeral!"
In fact, Su Chen was still a little hesitant when talking about suona. Not everyone understands the musical instrument suona. People who don’t understand the folk art of suona and the meaning of hundreds of birds paying homage to the phoenix will not know how profound the meaning contained in it is.
.
As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Ying's face was startled, and there was some surprise in his eyes:
"A hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix!?"
Su Chen looked startled, is this really the case?
I can only recommend other packages at the moment:
"Yes, if you feel that it is not mysterious enough, you can also choose our ninety-nine yuan package. I will wear a black suit, black sunglasses and headphones at your funeral. No matter what the weather, I will support you.
Black umbrella, silently watching the crowd!!"
unexpectedly,
Tang Ying shook her head, tears sliding down her pale face, with a little trembling:
"What you said about a hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix is true?"
"certainly!"
Su Chen nodded firmly. After receiving the systematic teaching, if he can't play "Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix" in China today, then no one can!
"Okay, let's choose Birds of a Feather!"
There seemed to be some hope on Tang Ying's pale face.
With difficulty, he took out two hundred yuan sheets from under the sheets and handed them to Su Chen.
Su Chen accepted the two hundred yuan and quickly took out his mobile phone, preparing to scan and give her one yuan in change.
"Just think of it as money for cigarettes, tea and wine!"
She stretched out her hand to refuse and said weakly.
Su Chen looked stunned and quickly handed over the information form:
"Please fill in your information and the location of the funeral!"
? ? ?It is written with great distress. I pay tribute to every mountain village teacher and thank them for their selfless dedication!
