Chapter 162 Collecting the Music of Nature
On the way out of the village, Ouyang Mengmian felt mixed emotions.
Although she had only lived in this ancient village for one night, the simplicity of the villagers and the tranquility of their primitive life had already made her feel nostalgic for it.
She stared out the window, as if she could still see their figures. Those happy scenes with them aroused her deep nostalgia and reluctance to leave.
At this moment, the scenery outside the window was like a beautiful painting, as if it was silently bidding farewell to her.
The distant mountains, layer upon layer, stretch endlessly, like an indestructible wall, stretching between heaven and earth, separating her past from her future.
The terraced fields dancing in the wind were like magnificent music composed by nature, playing softly in her ears, as if presenting her with a touching farewell song.
Ouyang Mengmian finally couldn't hold back the impulse in her heart, and stretched out her hand to open the car window. The fresh and pleasant air mixed with a slight breeze blew in her face, like a pair of gentle hands gently caressing her face, trying to soothe her inner feelings of separation.
As the vehicle turned, the speed gradually increased, like a wild horse running on the road. The originally gentle breeze was also driven by this speed and became restless. They danced happily in the air, occasionally brushing across Ouyang Mengmian's skin, leaving a trace of coolness. In the air, the light scent of morning dew and the fragrance of flowers and plants intertwined, making her feel a kind of tranquility and comfort she had never experienced before.
Suddenly, a clear bird song came from the distant forest. The sound was like the sound of nature, which lifted Ouyang Mengmian's heart. She had a strong urge to leave some special memories of this journey. So she hurriedly stopped the tour guide who was driving and excitedly put forward her idea.
"Xiao Zhang, the environment here is great. Can we stop for a while and let me and my friends go to the forest over there to collect some sounds of nature?"
Ouyang Mengmian's eyes sparkled with anticipation. She longed to record these beautiful moments and make them eternal memories.
When the guide Xiao Zhang heard Ouyang Mengmian's proposal, before he could say anything, Susan spoke up with a fascinated look on her face and expressed her agreement: "Mengmian! This is indeed a good idea. The sound of nature is the most beautiful melody. Let's go now!"
Xiao Zhang had no objection to Ouyang Mengmian and Susan's idea. He drove the car slowly to the edge of the forest and finally stopped at an open space.
Ouyang Mengmian couldn't wait to jump out of the car. She took a deep breath of fresh air, as if she had completely merged into the nature. Susan took the recording equipment that had been prepared in the car, and the three of them began to move forward into the forest.
Ouyang Mengmian and Susan stepped into the forest. The sunlight shone through the layers of leaves, casting mottled light and shadows, bringing a mysterious atmosphere to this quiet world.
The breeze rustles the treetops, and the sound of the gurgling stream in the distance paints an intoxicating picture. The sound of birds chirping from time to time is sometimes loud and exciting, sometimes gentle and melodious, as if nature is playing a harmonious and beautiful symphony, giving people a sense of tranquility and remoteness.
Ouyang Mengmian gently closed her eyes and listened to the sounds quietly, immersed in this wonderful ocean of sound. She listened attentively, and seemed to be able to clearly distinguish the unique chirping of each bird. These little guys were telling the stories of the mountains and forests in their own unique language.
Susan skillfully manipulated the recording device in her hands, carefully looking for the best recording angle and direction. She adjusted the angle and position of the recording device from time to time, trying to perfectly record this purity and harmony.
The birds are singing happily, and their melodious and pleasant songs seem to come from heaven; the leaves are gently caressed by the breeze, making a soft and delicate rustling sound, just like a beautiful melody played by nature; the stream in the distance is rushing, and the gurgling sound of the flowing water is flowing and echoing in the mountains and forests...
Ouyang Mengmian and Susan walked slowly side by side, strolling leisurely through the dense forest, listening attentively and capturing every subtle sound of the surrounding nature. Sometimes, they couldn't help but stop and quietly gaze at the picturesque scenery in front of them, immersed in it.
In the process of collecting sounds, Ouyang Mengmian and Susan seemed to have become a part of nature, closely connected with this vast forest, and established an indescribable tacit understanding.
They immersed themselves in it with complete concentration, trying to experience every bit of nature with their heart, and skillfully captured those fleeting beautiful moments with the recording equipment in their hands, hoping to preserve these precious memories forever.
Time seems to have stopped at this moment. They have cast aside the troubles of the world and devoted themselves wholeheartedly to the lush forest and the melodious world of sounds in front of them.
When they returned to the car with their fruitful results, their faces all showed satisfied and smiling expressions.
In the following days, Ouyang Mengmian and Susan also visited a local music school in order to gain a deeper understanding of the local music culture.
Afterwards, under the guidance of their guide Xiao Zhang, they visited other distinctive ethnic minority villages and collected and sorted out the special repertoires and music there.
In this place, they saw the importance of music in the local area and experienced the unique charm of local music.
After more than a week, the time for the return trip was about to be put on the agenda.
