Treading snow to find mud

Chen Yi did not expect to receive a call from Jiaying that afternoon. Jiaying told him that the master who repaired the piano wanted to see the owner of the piano. Of course, Chen Yi could not agree. He was hospitalized and it was inconvenient to meet him, so he asked Jiaying how far the master of repairing the piano could go, but Jiaying didn't say anything, only that the master of repairing the piano wanted to tell the master of the piano face to face.

This time, Chen Yi had no choice. Tang Yao hadn't had the operation yet. He didn't want Tang Yao to see people like this, so Chen Yi made an agreement with Jiaying to get the Qin back first. As a result, Chen Yi received another call from Jiaying the next day. He called and said that since he is holding this piano, it is also a predestined relationship. If possible, Chen Yi will go there first instead of the owner of the piano.

Chen Yi naturally agreed.

The appointment was in the evening, after Tang Yao fell asleep, and the appointment was at the door of an antique shop near the university. In Chen Yi's impression, that antique shop had always been there, but because the facade was very small, and there was always a lot of people inside. It was dark and silent, so he never went in once. Now that he thinks about it, since it is an antique shop, it is not surprising that there might be Guqin in his collection.

When he arrived at the destination, he called Jiaying. At this time, the door of the antique shop was closed, and Jiaying said on the phone that she had arrived and asked him to wait there. After a while, Chen Yi heard The sound of the store door opening.

"Come in." The person who opened the door was Jiaying. As soon as Chen Yi entered, he could smell a faint scent of lavender. The light inside was very dark, but he could still see clearly the antique shelves against the wall and the display boxes on both sides. counter.

"Master Gu is upstairs." Jiaying said to Chen Yi, closed the store door again, and walked to the front to lead the way. After bypassing a screen, Chen Yi saw the old wooden stairs, and Jiaying left first When I went up, I heard the sound of "creak, creak" from the stairs.

Chen Yi walked slowly because he was using crutches, and the light from above flooded over halfway. Besides, he could also hear the sound of someone plucking the strings. , I saw Master Gu who repaired the piano, and there were pianos all over the room.

It turns out that on the second floor of the antique shop, there is actually a huge piano-making room hidden.

"Master Gu, I brought him here." Jiaying said.

It was an old man, his skin and hair were covered with traces of time, and he seemed to be over seventy years old. At this time, he was wearing a blue gown and sitting cross-legged on the ground, surrounded by many guqins, As if traveling through time and space, for a moment, Chen Yi recalled the first time he saw Tang Yao. At that time, he also had a similar temperament, which seemed to be infected by the qin after years of immersion in the qin. A breath of freedom and dust, in them, time seems to flow very slowly and quietly.

Chen Yi also plays the piano himself, and has also learned the piano for several years, but compared with them, he always feels that something is missing, and then a bit more vulgar, but it is precisely because he also plays the piano that he can easily distinguish between the two. difference between.

Hearing Le Jiaying's voice, the old man raised his head, his eyes sparkled, and Chen Yi, who was looking at him, was startled. He stepped forward slowly and said to the old man: "Hello, I am Chen Yi."

The old man nodded and said: "I have heard from Jiaying that you said that the owner of this piano is inconvenient to see me, but it seems that it is not convenient for you to go out." His voice was very old, and the speed of his speech was therefore Also very slow.

"It's not a problem at all." Chen Yi immediately shook his head and said, and then he caught a glimpse of the piano box next to the old man, and the piano inside that had already been torn apart, and he couldn't help but said again: "To tell you the truth, the owner of the piano is because of me. I was injured because of the accident, and I will have an operation tomorrow morning, I came here to repair the piano without telling him, and he still doesn't know the condition of the piano."

Hearing what he said, the old man couldn't help being taken aback, he looked Chen Yi up and down for a long time, and then said: "Then tell me, how is he playing the piano?"

Chen Yi thought for a while, and then replied: "His piano makes people tireless, regretless, fascinated, convinced, and never turning back."
