Did the lord get rid of poverty and become rich today?

The hotel was silent in the early hours of the morning, only the sound of the piano was like a girl's bare toes tapping the ground gently in the mist.

Qiao Yi and Lando put on their clothes and got up, pushed open the half-open door on the second floor, and saw outside the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, the lights of Kanas City were on all night, and the clavichord in the apartment was soaked in the cool moonlight.

"Boom-"

As if startled by someone who came, the piano made a tearing sound.

The hall was quiet.

Joe ran his fingers over the ivory keys as he approached.

"who are you?"

he asks.

The piano was silent and did not answer.

It seems that the soul who just sat here playing the piano has already escaped.

"Ding--"

The other hand tapped lightly on the keys, and the piano made a cheerful sound.

It's Lando.

Qiao turned his head to look at him and said, "Can you play?"

"Yeah." Lando nodded: "Christine taught me when I was young. Do you want to hear it?"

"think."

So Lando pulled out a piano bench from below, sat down, his fingers fell on the keys, and the sound of the piano flowed out from his fingertips.

Qiao Yi didn't know what the piece he was playing was, but it was very pleasant to hear. The soothing sound of the tinkling piano seemed to be integrated with the moonlight shining in after being cut by the window.

He propped his chin to look at Lando.

The elf's eyebrows and eyes were coated with a layer of silver frost by the moonlight, and there were stars shining in the lowered eyes.

Then he raised his head slightly, met Qiao Yi's gaze, and smiled.

Joe One: "..."

Grass!Is he sick? He looks so good! !

ding ding dong

The sound of the piano suddenly changed.

The soft and soothing tune cheers up, like a girl's dancing skirt.

However, Lando was raising his hand at this time, and did not touch the keys.

But the keys seemed to be pressed and played continuously by another pair of invisible hands...

"Long time no see, Christine."

Lando said.

While the sound of the piano was scattered, Qiao Yi's vision was slowly filled with thick fog.

……

50 years ago.

In a small town called Colin in the south, a fire broke out.

The fire broke out at a local folk almshouse.

That night, countless homeless children taken in by the asylum and the nurses of the asylum were killed in the flames. Only a 17-year-old music teacher crawled out of the ashes.

His name is Christine.

That year, the Holy See monastery opposite wanted to take some children to the choir many times, but was rejected by the dean.

In the fire-ridden almshouse, the scorched soil was filled with the smell of kerosene.

Christine didn't dare to stay here, he couldn't let the Holy See know that he was still alive, so he could only desperately go into exile.

The fire not only destroyed his handsome face, but also ruined his throat that was kissed by the gods. Along the way, he was regarded as a monster and stared at.

Later, he settled down in a small village outside the Floating Light Forest.

He began to make a living by teaching the children here to read and write.

That year, he met an elf girl from the Floating Light Forest, her name was Lenny.

Lenny is blind.

But her other senses are extremely sensitive, which allows her to act almost like a normal person, except that she can't see.

Lenny is a special girl.

At an age when other elf girls wore gauze skirts and decorated their golden hair with various flowers, Lenny cut her short hair like a boy and always wore black trousers and boots, which was a mess of coolness.

Compared with Lenny, who is as hot as fire, the gentle Christine is like a quiet lake.

Christine played the flute to Lenny in the cloudy sky, read poems to her under the silent starry sky, and listened to the sound of insects hiding in the grass in the summer night.

Lan Ni led Christine to run in the wilderness, shouted loudly towards the cliffs in the mountains of the Floating Light Forest, and listened to the echoing voices from the mountains to answer.

Christine told Lenny that the sky is blue, the sun is golden, and his eyes are emerald green.

Lan Ni clapped her hands: "What a coincidence, the eyes of my people are also green!"

People in the village said that the blind man looked ugly and was a perfect match.

Lenny didn't care.

But the Nofan elves in the Floating Light Forest don't care.

They do not allow intermarriage between tribesmen and humans.

What's more, the left half of this human's face is so ugly.

Lenny's mother lovingly stroked Lenny's hair and told her:

"Don't fall in love with humans.

They only have less than 100 years of life, you will watch him grow old, watch him die, and there is nothing you can do.

Those memories will haunt you for the rest of your life. "

17-year-old Lenny told her mother stubbornly: "I don't care about his life after he leaves, but every day he lives will be related to me."

Teenagers' feelings are always as hot as a fire.

They eloped.

Leaving the Fuguang Mountains with a warm climate, they headed northward.

Later they arrived at Kanas, and further north was the endless riddle mountain range. Behind the mountain range, it was said that there was a snow mountain where no one could survive.

They opened a tavern in Karnas, and listened to travelers and hunters talking about the mountains every day. Occasionally, wandering poets would be guests here, bringing stories from the far south.

A lot of people liked the handsome man with the beautiful green eyes who, despite a horrible burn on his face, couldn't hide the other half of his face.

Later, on Lenny's birthday, someone sent a clavichord without signing.

Christine played the piano in the tavern every day.

Only for Lenny.

A beautiful hostess always attracts rogues, but not here.

Because those who dared to speak ill were beaten by Christine.

How can a human being who lives from a small town in the southeast across thousands of mountains and rivers, through dark forests and bandit dens in the central region, and finally arrives in the floating light forest in the southwest be a good person?

Later, their tavern became a tavern, and the tavern gradually became an inn.

So far, they have lived here for 30 years.

Christine is 47 years old, with gray hair at the sideburns and fine lines around her eyes.

And Lenny is still as young and beautiful as a 17-year-old.

In the dark night, Lenny reached out and touched Christine's relaxed face and the fine lines around his eyes, and finally understood what her mother meant back then.

But she has no regrets.

It's just that when Christine looked at his still young wife, the guilt in his heart became bigger and bigger day by day.

Then one morning he woke up to find his young wife, Lenny, also wrinkled, with glaring white hair at the temples.

"Look, I'm just like you now."

Lenny held Christine's face in her hands.

She couldn't see Christine's expression, but she knew that Christine was crying.

His tears fell on her hands, warm and warm.

"Am I so pretty, dear?"

Christine stared at the aging but still beautiful wife in front of her, and nodded with sobs: "It looks good."

Another decade passed.

They are getting older and older, but they are also more and more loving.

Lenny, 57, and Christine, 57, go for a daily walk or sit together in the warm sunset sun.

"I'll be with you until your last heartbeat."

Lenny lay on Christine's chest and whispered.

But her vow didn't come true.

Three years later, almost the entire South was plagued by severe plague.

Christine is sick.

Every day in the city, a large number of human beings die in large numbers.

There was nothing people could do about it except set fire to the corpse.

Lenny "looked" at the increasingly weak Christine, feeling as if her heart was pinched by ten thousand hands and she couldn't breathe.

She decided to go back to the south.

The water of life of the elves might save him.

She said: "Honey, I will save you. You wait for me here, and you must live until I come back! You are not allowed to die until I come back!"

She went all the way south without stopping, killed three horses, and returned to the Floating Light Forest in three days.

What awaited her was imprisonment.

Lan Ni, who fled with humans, threw herself into the trap and was locked up.

for a period of three months.

But Christine couldn't wait.

He couldn't last three months.

Lenny screamed and howled in the dark tree house, her nails left deep bloodstains on the wall, blood and tears flowed from her tightly closed eyes.

The shrill crying lasted for seven days and seven nights.

The door lock was picked quietly.

Lenny's mother stood outside the door with red and swollen eyes, gave her a small glass bottle, and secretly sent her out of the forest in the dark.

Lan Ni turned her head and "looked" at her mother standing at the intersection, and rode her horse through the wind and snow all the way north.

This time it was faster than the last trip to the south, she only took two and a half days.

But it's too late.

Christine turned into two tiny boxes.

The lich who lived by the sea told her that one of them was a birthday present from Christine to Lenny.

The other one is Christine's ashes.

right.

Today is my birthday.

With trembling hands, she opened the lacquered wood box, which was delicate to the touch.

She couldn't see what was inside.

But she felt that the thing seemed to be emitting a warm light.

The light was gentle and gentle, like Christine's warm hand.

The Lich said that he hopes you can continue to watch the world for him, which is Christine's last wish.

Lan Ni froze for a moment, then asked, "What?"

Then she felt the light of the box in her hand, as if something melted into her eyes.

She opened her eyes, a pair of clear green eyes seemed to contain all the most beautiful brilliance in the world, they were so beautiful.

She saw the crows circling in the gray sky, and the people who fell down while walking on the street and couldn't get up again.

The sun disappeared into the dark clouds, and only a pale disk was visible.

Like hell on earth.

Lenny looked up at the sky and thought: Is this the blue sky and golden sun that Christine talked about?

Not quite.

So she opened the glass bottle given by her mother, and poured the golden liquid into the well where the townspeople often get water.

That year, she was 60 years old.

Lenny lost her old face and turned back into a young Lenny, but she stayed in their hotel until now.

She never met Christine.

……

"Ding--"

The sound of the piano stopped with the sound of the last note.

The dense fog in front of me cleared up.

In a daze, Qiao Yi saw an old man sitting on this piano bench more than ten years ago, hunched over slightly.

Sitting next to him was a blond-haired, blue-eyed elf child, like a delicate and soft ball, with blue eyes like a piece of clear sapphire.

On the sofa not far across, an old woman with her eyes closed, wrapped in a shawl, leaned on the back of the chair and "looked" at this place.

Xiaotuanzi's white and soft fingers pressed on the keys, and the keys sank.

No sound.

Everything is silent.

But the three people in the picture are all laughing.

The author has something to say: talk about what happened two days ago.

I rode my beloved little electric donkey to go out to buy snacks.

When passing through the alley, a young man who was riding a bicycle very fast and recklessly came in at the intersection in front of him.

Our wheels are one step away from kissing.

In a hurry, I shouted: "You go to the left and I go to the right!!"

Then hit it :D

But it's nothing serious, I twisted my foot and pinned my wrist, and broke my skin a bit.

The kid on the other side is fine, just a little bit broken.

And my dear mother's first words after I called were: "Is the car okay?"

Hey.It's really the lowest status in the family (just kidding, in fact, my mother still loves me)

In short, you must be careful when riding a bicycle. If there are intersections and corners, you must honk your horn in advance!
