Second Piano Concerto

The next day, Tan Shuo did not show up, and the rice noodle shop was not open for business.

The same is true for the third and fourth days.

Zhuzhu didn't know where to go, and was very puzzled. Although the lights on the second floor of the rice noodle shop were on every night, Tan Shuo was nowhere to be seen all day long.She asked Qin Haiou if he knew what Tan Shuo was doing, but Qin Haiou just shook his head in silence.

Of course Qin Haiou didn't know what Tan Shuo was doing shutting himself in the house all day long, but he knew the reason why Tan Shuo did it.His words have been listened to by Tan Shuo and have played a role, so Tan Shuo needs time to think and make a decision.But whether Tan Shuo will agree in the end, Qin Haiou is not fully sure about it.He was anxious, but could only wait.

During this period, Yu Doudou had already started to take Chen Ganning to work on the decoration.While waiting for Tan Shuo, Qin Haiou looked for an opportunity to introduce them to Liu Yang.Liu Yang was very happy to learn that Qin Haiou planned to continue living in the town for a while, and recommended several places to buy to Doudou.Yu Doudou's impression of Liu Yang is much better than that of Tan Shuo, but she has seen too many fans of all kinds. In her opinion, Liu Yang just approached Qin Haiou under special circumstances and won his favor. trust.Yu Doudou has always been cautious towards Qin Haiou's fans, but since Qin Haiou treats Liu Yang as a friend, she does not hesitate to show friendliness to Liu Yang at least on the surface.

Qin Haiou didn't have the time to go to Liu'an to practice the piano these days, the rice noodle shop was closed, and he didn't have to help in the kitchen. He had nothing else to do except go to Xiaopengmen to see the progress of the renovation every day. He squatted in the courtyard all day long Looking at the Chow Chow in a daze, thinking about his own thoughts.

After being so restless and bored until the morning of the fifth day, Tan Shuo finally appeared at the inn again.He didn't notice Qin Haiou who was feeding the dog in the porch, he just hurried to the kitchen.Qin Haiou spotted him out of the corner of his eye, dropped the dog bowl and chased after him. When he came to the kitchen, he saw that Tan Shuo had already lifted the lid of the steamer and was quickly putting the remaining pieces of rice cakes into the bowl.

Qin Haiou wanted to know his answer, and was about to burst into flames, but seeing that he had a piece of cake in his mouth, he was obviously very hungry, so he swallowed his full of questions again, and just watched eagerly from the sidelines.

Tan Shuo finished the rice cakes, took another bowl of porridge from the pot, picked up the two bowls and turned around, only then did he see Qin Haiou.He was startled, hummed twice with the cake in his mouth, put the bowl on the dining table, sat down, first took a bite of the rice cake and chewed, then took a mouthful of porridge and sent it down, smacked his lips, and finally He said, "Go back and get ready!"

Qin Haiou sat down opposite him, a little dazed by his endless sentence: "What are you going to do?"

Tan Shuo wolfed down a few more mouthfuls, and explained: "Get ready, let's go collect folk songs!"

Qin Haiou was stunned for a long time before he understood what this sentence meant. He jumped up and hit the dining table trembling. Tan Shuo hurriedly hugged his porridge bowl.

"Okay! Okay!" Qin Haiou supported the table, so excited that he couldn't believe it, "I, can I go too?"

"Of course!" Tan Shuo continued to eat with his head buried.He looked thinner, with dark circles under his eyes, and unkempt, but his spirits were high.He has already thought about it. He will bring Qin Haiou with him this time. He will let Qin Haiou participate in the whole process of creation, so that he can better understand his creative intention and creative thinking. This kind of experience is very important for Qin Haiou. It is very rare and will be of great help to his future performances.

After all, Qin Haiou guessed wrong.Tan Shuo wasn't thinking about whether to accept the commission these days. He had been persuaded by Qin Haiou as early as the moment the conversation ended.

Over the years, Tan Shuo has carefully cared for his passion for music. This passion is like a spark deep in his heart, which has never been extinguished despite the bitterness of life.He walked alone on this road with difficulty, endured it very hard, and tried his best to preserve this spark, but Qin Haiou's words forcibly broke open the door of his heart, pouring a fierce force into it. The flame completely ignited his heart.

Tan Shuo took out all the manuscripts in several baskets and read them one by one.Over the years, he has been insisting on creating and exploring in music, and these works are his experience and results of exploration.He also went out to collect folk songs during the off-season of ancient town tourism, and after three years of running around after leaving school, he has now accumulated a lot of folk music materials from all over the world.In three days, he re-examined these works and materials, and found similar works made by his predecessors to revisit. Apart from eating and sleeping, he only had one question in his mind: this time, what exactly is he going to create? What kind of work?

"Where are we going? What should I prepare? When are we leaving?" Qin Haiou asked one after another, wishing to leave immediately.

"What's the hurry!" Tan Shuo took a few sips of porridge and said slowly, "I heard that Xiao Hei's hometown is nice. I haven't had the chance to go there these few years. How about we go there?"

"Okay!" Qin Haiou recalled that Xiao Hei said that their village was beautiful, and there was an old lady who was good at cooking.At that time, he was yearning for it, but he didn't expect that the place Tan Shuo chose to collect music was also there, which was exactly what he wanted.

Tan Shuo said again: "You don't need to prepare anything specially, just bring clothes, medicine, common items for travel, camera, and video equipment, just bring it, if you don't have anything, just bring more batteries, and I will prepare the rest. As he spoke, he speeded up his meal, "I'll ask Xiao Hei later to see if he can be our tour guide."

"Okay, okay! I'll go with you!" Qin Haiou rubbed his hands happily, feeling like he was dreaming.Tan Shuo really agreed to his commission, not only that, but they also want to go to collect folk songs together, they are really going to go collect folk songs!

Tan Shuo swept up the kitchen of the inn, and came to Longge Restaurant with Qin Haiou.When Xiao Hei learned that they were going to play in the stockade, he immediately expressed his warm welcome.The three of them discussed with Brother Long again. After all, it was already autumn and it was the peak tourist season in the ancient town. If the chef was not around, it would definitely affect the business of the restaurant.

Brother Long used to think that Qin Haiou was just an ordinary young man who came to visit the ancient town. His family was well-off and he seemed quite educated. It wasn't until Qin Haiou asked him about the old house a while ago that he realized that this young man might be another man. Has a background.It was not difficult for the chef to leave the restaurant for ten and a half months. He was righteous, and seeing that Qin Haiou and Tan Shuo were going, he waved his hand and gave Xiao Hei a break: "Go, go." Let's go! If I don't have a lot of things on me, I'll go with you too!"

Listening to their discussion, Qin Haiou remembered Tan Shuo's shop, and when he came out of the restaurant, he asked, "What about your shop?"

"Not open!" Tan Shuo is now only thinking about collecting styles and works, so he can't care about the things in the store.

Since Xiao Hei was going to hand over the work in the restaurant, Tan Shuo and Qin Haiou had to make some preparations, so they set the departure time five days later.The place to stay is Xiao Hei's home, and the return time depends on the situation of the wind gathering.

Seeing that everything was well arranged, Qin Haiou told Yu Doudou about it.For the time being, he didn't say that this trip was for collecting folk songs, he only said that he wanted to go out to play.When Yu Doudou heard that he was going with Tan Shuo, he was inevitably very nervous.But firstly, she couldn't stop Qin Haiou, secondly, the renovation of the old house had just started, and the piano had not arrived yet, Qin Haiou really had nothing to do in the town, Yu Doudou had no choice but to give up even though he was worried.

Qin Haiou has gone through twists and turns, and now he finally got what he wanted. He is as excited as a child all day long, with a smile on his brows and eyes, and he is looking forward to departure.During the two years he suffered from psychological problems, Yu Doudou had never seen him so happy.After thinking about it, she finally convinced herself - as long as Qin Haiou is happy, everything else is not important compared to this.

Yu Doudou helped Qin Haiou pack his hiking bag, and accompanied him to the city to buy some necessary supplies.In the process, she was surprised to find that Qin Haiou's running shoes were missing. This kind of forgetting is extremely rare in Qin Haiou's life, not to mention losing a pair of shoes.She went to ask Qin Haiou, but Qin Haiou just scratched his head, smiled and refused to answer.

Finally, on the day of departure, Qin Haiou came to the inn yard early to gather, but found that Zhao Fei was already standing there with a hiking bag on his back, a camera hanging on his chest, and was chatting with Zhuzhu.

"Are you going too?" Qin Haiou was very pleasantly surprised by this. He was worried that he was not familiar with the new camera and could not take good photos. Now that he saw Zhao Fei traveling with him, he immediately felt relieved.

"I heard from Xiao Hei that you were going, so I quickly signed up," Zhao Fei said cheerfully, "This is a rare opportunity, I want to take some photos."

"Great!" Qin Haiou patted his camera bag, "I still can't use this camera well. With you here, I don't have to worry about it!"

Of course, Zhao Fei was also thinking about Qin Haiou's camera, and hearing what he said, he was even more delighted from ear to ear.

Yu Doudou asked them to chat for a few words, then pulled Qin Haiou aside, and told him about various safety matters again.

Although she had already explained the situation here to Qin Haiya, and Qin Haiya also believed that Qin Haiou should come as he pleases, but Yu Doudou felt deeply that she had a heavy responsibility, and she was still 1 worried before leaving, and couldn't help but put the previous All the things that have already been told are told again.

Zhao Fei listened silently for a long time, then turned around and asked Zhuzhu quietly: "Who is that girl?"

Zhuzhu whispered: "Xiao Qin's cousin."

"Oh!" Zhao Fei nodded.

After a while, Xiao Hei and Tan Shuo also came.Xiao Hei was dressed in light clothes, and Tan Shuo was carrying a bag and a bag over his shoulder. The water bottle hanging from the bag was swinging around with his steps.

It was just dawn at this time, and the four of them counted their luggage for the last time and set off on the road together.They first took a car to the small county town closest to the stockade, and after having lunch in the county town, they changed to two-wheeled motorcycles and continued on their way.The road began to narrow after leaving the county seat, and within an hour it was so narrow that only a motorcycle could pass.The road surface is all bare dirt, covered with footprints, hoofprints, livestock manure and wheel marks that have been repeatedly run over by motorcycles.The landscape here is in the same line as the surroundings of the ancient town, but because it is far away from the breath of modern society, the primitive wildness flourishes and invades all corners.As you go further in, the sensations of your eyes, ears, mouth, nose and skin begin to convey the same signal—they are gradually entering another world.
