“哎哎哎，今晚咱们来务个虚，你们谁会唱歌啊，来一个呗。”教官半蹲在地上，瞅着这群一个个脸已经晒成古铜色的学生。
“唱歌啊……”
“不唱的话咱继续来一圈正步呗。”教官叉着腰说。
“夏冉江来一个！”
人群中突然发出一个声音，接着是大家起哄。夏冉江几乎是被后面的人托着站了起来。
夏冉江死命地挣脱身后无数双手。本来是想今天军训结束后去食堂吃完饭就回宿舍休息，累了一下午实在受不了，头痛一直在发作——夏冉江一直都有午睡的习惯，雷打不动。所谓“中午不睡，下午崩溃”，本来上午结束晚，再加上中午忙着给童哲送饭，此刻的夏冉江早就上下眼皮打架，下午好几次连左右转的口令都没听清。此刻被大家逼着唱歌，想死的心情都有了，真想一头栽进湖里清醒一下。
“嗯，就你了，算是给大家带个头，唱好了咱们精神鼓励一下。”
教官重重地拍了拍夏冉江的肩膀，夏冉江差点站不稳跪了下去。
“夏冉江，赶紧给兄弟们嚎一个提提神，快。”
底下又是一阵起哄。
夏冉江大脑已经接近麻木，平时听的歌一首也想不起来。
“是准备走个猫步还是咋地，磨叽啥？”
夏冉江屁股被教官狠狠地踢了一脚。
这时，由远及近传来整齐的女声和脚步声，这边无数个脑袋跟向日葵似的齐刷刷甩了过去，只见一队穿着军训服装的女生慢跑着往这边靠近。
“听我口令，坐！”
女生们一听到口令，全部端坐在湖边的草坪上，距离这边男生不过十几米，此刻正听着教官总结今天训练的内容。
“夏冉江，该你表现的机会到了，唱完说不定今晚可以领一个回去，哈哈。”
人群中不知是谁喊了一嗓子，引得大家又是一阵笑声。
“行，唱一首《The Sound of Silence》吧。”
夏冉江扭过头跟教官使了个眼色，教官伸出手示意大家安静。
Hello darkness, my old friend
I've e to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence
In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
‘Neath the halo of a streetlamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence
And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
No one dare
Disturb the sound of silence
“Fools” said I, “You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you”
But my words like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silence
And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said “The words of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls
And whispered in the sounds of silence”
夏冉江低声唱着，声音轻柔却清晰。每个词从声带中婉转流出，声波在空气中震荡，空气分子此时似乎成为透明的墨水，随着声音不断凝结成游走的痕迹，又随着清风湮灭成泡沫飘散难寻踪影。湖边小路虽然坐满了人，但是此刻却只能听到草丛里小虫子发出的吱吱声，湖面不时有小鱼窜出，湖面昏黄的倒影顿时碎裂成一片，荡起层层涟漪，撞上湖岸的芦苇又扩散成更细碎的波纹。
一曲唱完，时间仿佛停止。过了几秒，人群中突然想起热烈的掌声和口哨声，远处女生几乎都能听到一阵阵尖叫。
“不错嘛，想不到你们这帮学生还藏龙卧虎啊。”教官满意地点点头。忽然想起什么，转身朝着那边的女生喊道：“刘教官，要不要打个擂啊？”
“不可否认刚才那位同学唱得不错，但是真正的歌王可是我们女生连。”刘教官站起身，扬起下巴拍了拍胸口，“大家说是不是啊？”
底下女生一阵应和。
“那好啊，今晚咱们就算务虚了，刚才男生当仁不让领了个头，现在你们女生来一个。女生连，来一个！”
