1854 Chapter 1854 Let Go
Hugo hugged the acoustic guitar and sat quietly on the spot. He didn't rush to start playing, but carefully adjusted the strings in his hand, as if this was the most important job in the world.
Leonardo sat next to him, he couldn't help but stop all his movements, quietly watching Hugo's movements, that simple movement seemed to have magic power, with a quiet but powerful force, making him seriously watch. Under the sunlight, the thin strings projected a golden light, gently plucking between Hugo's slender strings. The surface of the dilapidated guitar has been well maintained. It can be seen that it has gone through countless journeys, and the scars of the torn and displaced are clearly visible. Time has left a thin layer of wax on those scars, which has been completely preserved. .
This made Leonardo couldn't help but want to listen to the story behind this guitar in detail, as if even the smallest scratch has endless legends.
This is not the first time Leonardo has watched Hugo create music, but it is the first time he has felt the story behind the musical notes, and there are thousands of words hidden in the silence. Raising his head, Leonardo looked at Hugo's familiar side face, which outlined blurred lines in the afternoon sun, focused and devoted, every move was so ordinary, yet so meaningful. It wasn't until this moment that Leonardo really realized how much weight was on Hugo's shoulders.
Perhaps, in the eyes of onlookers, about Lena, about Adam, about the Franco family, it seems that it is just a simple matter. But in Hugo's world, that is almost a portrayal of the first half of his life. At this moment, Leonardo realized how heavy his light words were to Hugo.
In many cases, the relaxed freehand brushwork of the bystanders is too unfair to the parties involved.
Leonardo gently raised his right hand, he wanted to say "sorry" to Hugo. However, Hugo hugged the guitar tightly at this time, and gently outlined the strings. The clear and bright musical notes were like sunlight, flowing down like a stream. Time froze in an instant at this moment, outlined into a transparent amber shape, condensing the memory forever.
"Let me go, I don't want to be your hero, I don't want to be a big man, I just want to be an ordinary person and try to live a good life." The song like a narrative poem, riding the wind in the sun, makes all the noise They all disappeared in an instant, as if... as if only the sound of the whistling wind was left flying in the sun, the dust of bright fireworks permeated the air, and the continuous mountains quietly stretched endlessly in sight... the colorful golden light was in the There is a whirring sound in the ear, other than that, there is only silence left in the world. The peaceful, ordinary and quiet picture is slowly outlined in the gentle melody.
"You throw a masquerade, I don't want to be a part of it, everyone has the opportunity to grow. Have a job to support the family, maybe I'll buy a few new strings, spend the weekend away with her "The simple lyrics are quietly describing the most ordinary life, without the ups and downs in movies, the turbulence in novels, and the dramatic changes in stories. Everything is just the most ordinary, simplest and most peaceful life. But it contains too many stories. The glamor of the graduation prom, the ignorance of young first love, the unbridled publicity of music dreams...all the turbulence in those memories, but they returned to calm after all.
"We can whisper something about my American Dream secrets. Babies need to be loved, but I'm just a baby like everyone else." Everyone thinks they are special, they think they are unique, they want Being able to chase their dreams, they all think that they are the heroes who save the world, they all long for the world to know their names, and they all hope to leave their footprints in the long river of history... so that when ordinary life invades, that This kind of unprepared mediocrity drowns oneself in an instant, everyone is struggling hard, trying to get rid of the ordinary life, trying to realize their American dream. In a daze, he forgot his original dream and the happiness and beauty of ordinary life.
People are always too greedy. We always think that there is more in life, more... but we don't know that behind the more unknowns, the price is the loss of true happiness.
"So, let me go, I don't want to be your hero, I don't want to be a big shot, I just want to be an ordinary person and try to live a good life."
Almost without warning, Leonardo's cheeks were wet with warm tears. He didn't cry, but the tears rolled down slowly, because he understood the story behind Hugo's melody. That powerful force grabbed his heart fiercely, and an indescribable sourness welled up in his heart. Before he realized it, his vision was blurred by warm tears.
Once, Lina was unwilling to be ordinary, unwilling to be lonely, unwilling to be mediocre; once, Lina thought that her dream had not yet been realized, and she just wanted to run wildly to realize her life value; once, for that uncertain future, Lina chose I chose to let go, I chose to escape, I chose to move forward...
Lina's choice was not wrong, and no one can blame her for making a mistake, because this is youth, and making mistakes is a part of youth. Therefore, Hugo chose to forgive. He was reminding himself to forget Lena and remember Adam. Because Hugo realized that his not letting go of Lena was just unfair to Adam.
Lena left, but Adam chose to stay, he chose to be ordinary and mediocre, he chose to shoulder the responsibility of the family, he refused to be a hero, he refused to be a big man, and he refused to realize his dream, he just Stubbornly and cowardly, he stayed with Lanches, accompanied Hugo, became the strongest backing behind Hugo, and waited for the day when Hugo grew up-enough to support the whole body with his own shoulders. The world, but he is still left behind alone, standing in the same place forever, waiting for the place called home.
He chose to become a father.
Therefore, Adam is not a hero, nor is he a big man, nor is he a great man who will go down in history. No one knows his name except Lanches. But for Hugo, he is the hero. His father is the greatest miracle in his life.
"So, let me go, I don't want to be your hero, I don't want to be a big shot, I just want to be an ordinary person and try to live a good life."
Just like this, Hugo sat quietly on the spot, twitching the guitar strings quietly, but the poetic and songly melody was stained with the magic of elves, with sunlight, starlight, and sparks ignited in the air. The energy was released wantonly, and with the calmest force, the most incredible storm was set off.
Leonardo found that his tears couldn't stop at all. He could only bite his lower lip tightly and let the tears run wildly. In the hazy tears, Hugo sang softly with a smile. The warm voice Like the wings of an angel, it makes people intoxicated, and the smile in the halo is so perfect, quietly blooming with great light. This is a kind of quiet storm. Covered on the calm surface, the whole world begins to fall apart, and the sea changes, as if the universe exploded in front of his eyes, but there is no sound, no storm, just quietly looking at the sky Countless fragments burst out. Quiet, but spectacular, like an epic rushing towards the face, the soul began to tremble.
The most powerful force is actually the ordinary life. The seemingly simple and boring day after day can easily destroy everything; however, a kind of energy called family affection can make this ordinary life magnificent. Even more magnificent than the Big Bang.
James raised his head and looked towards the sky. He wasn't sure where it was, but he could hear the sound like an angel singing down from the sky. The quiet melody carried a powerful force, which made him fall into an unknown place. In the world, the ubiquitous light obscured his vision, and he couldn't recognize the direction at all, so he could only stand there in a daze. Even before James could react, the tears had already defeated all his defenses. He had no power to fight back, so he could only open his mouth slightly, letting the tears make him extremely embarrassed and small, and gradually he was in the melody. lose oneself.
James didn't know what was going on, he couldn't even hear Hugo's lyrics clearly, but the melody alone was enough to make him completely lost, and he sat there dazed and overwhelmed.
In the brilliant light, Leonardo saw the smile on the corner of Hugo's mouth. He could even outline the perfect arc. Leonardo knew that it was the brilliance from the heart, like an orchid blooming proudly on the cliff , the vicissitudes of life and strong.
When the melody ended, the whole world fell silent. Hugo was still holding the acoustic guitar, and sat quietly on the spot. He didn't shed tears, but a blurred halo covered his eyes, and the corners of his mouth were only slightly curved, with a warm smile on his face.
Hugo was finally completely relieved. He knew that forgiving Lena not only meant forgiving himself, but also meant that he chose to let go, let go of the image of the mother who represented childhood; Hugo knew that he had actually missed too much Too much, he should not be obsessed with Lina, but should focus on Adam. The one who really accompanied him was his father, who had always been the taciturn, irritable and dull father. His hero has always been that figure, but he has always forgotten this.
So, Hugo was relieved.
At this moment, he felt an unprecedented ease, just like treating Uma, he could also face Lena calmly. Even now that Lena is in front of him, he is not afraid, he can face it with a smile. Because Hugo knew that the term mother could no longer hurt him.
"Hugo, what's the name of the song just now?" Leonardo said softly, as if worried that his voice would break the beauty of this moment if his voice was slightly louder.
Hugo slightly drew the corners of his mouth, "'Hero', this song is called 'Hero'."
