Frost flower is like a dream

Chapter 10 The Soul of the Piano

The rain outside the window is getting heavier, and the falling peach blossoms are turning red, and the green snow buds are gradually getting colder, and they can't go away for a while, calm down and appreciate the paintings on the wall.Most of them are masterpieces of masters in China, but there is only one that cannot be named. In the painting, there is a natural stone bridge. Two boys play chess around the table. The spectators look like woodcutters. A game is not over. On the stone table is an ax for chopping wood But it is rotten.

"This painting was drawn by myself! I just named it "Shishi Mountain Encountering Immortals". It comes from a story in Li Daoyuan's "Shui Jing Zhu"!" Tired, he leaned on the rattan chair and began to tell the story of Wang Zhi's encounter with an immortal. Playing chess, I was fascinated by watching it, remembering that the house was waiting for firewood for cooking! When I went to get the axe, the handle of the axe had already rotted! When I went down the mountain and returned to the village, no one knew him. Know that they have been dead for hundreds of years!"

After listening to the story, I couldn't help feeling, "If I can go up the mountain like Wang Zhi did! It will be hundreds of years after I come back! No one knows him, it would be a wonderful encounter! Start from scratch alone! Did this story really exist?"

"It's a story. It's half true and false! Maybe it's just people's imagination, just like the story of Xanadu! The world is too heavy, and people choose to escape! Find a peaceful paradise in the story!"

"Sometimes there is no way to escape!" The words hit the knot in my heart, isn't it just escaping now?

"If it were me, I would rather face it!" Li Zhenyun's eyes were not attached to her age, calm but firm, "Do you know what it feels like to wait for death from birth? A famous doctor from the Yuan Kingdom Said that I would not live to be 25 years old! Although there are only eight years left, I am not devastated, nor do I blame others! Playing piano and chess, entertaining myself! I will not accept my fate until that day really comes! Otherwise, I will not give up on myself! "

"You can't believe what the doctor says!" I didn't expect Li Zhenyun to be so ill-fated, waiting for death from birth. What kind of feeling is this?

"I think so too!" Li Zhenyun took a small Linghua mirror and looked at his face in the mirror, "For people, birth, old age, sickness and death are common things! At least I won't become so ugly when I die The bitter medicine I take every day is like eating! They are all herbs in the world, and there is no difference! The only regret is that I can’t go to many places. I am bored at home every day, with piano and paintings as companions, and I have only been to Kaijing and Ligu Two places! You must have been to many places, right?"

"I haven't been to my place either?" Li Zhenyun's words made people feel desolate, being tortured by illness alone, it's rare for her to see life and death apart!

"You must have been to the mountain opposite, right?" Li Zhenyun pointed to the misty and rainy place outside the window.

"Drum Mountain? Been there once or twice!"

"No wonder it's called Drum Mountain! The mountain is like a drum, and the sharp peaks next to it are like a hammer beating the drum! Can you take me to Gushan?" Li Zhenyun whispered: "Nurse never let me go, since you have been , must be very familiar with it! The nanny will not object!" The person on the opposite side pondered for a long time, but he didn't want to be rejected by him, so it would be better to give each other time to think, "Actually... there is no need to answer now!"

"Alright!" This girl really understands people's hearts and is considerate, but her fate is so bad.Looking out of the window, it was still drizzle, covering the scenery of the mountains and rivers. After coming here for a long time, the two family members were probably anxious, so they got up and said, "I've been bothering you all afternoon! I should say goodbye!"

Li Zhen also stood up to return the salute, with his head lowered, he thought for a moment before asking, "I've never had anyone come here before! Will you...will you come again?"

"Maybe! There are a lot of paintings and calligraphy here!" Hong Lin really couldn't bear to reject a sick little girl.

Since that afternoon, Ligu Town seemed to be soaked in drizzle. It has been raining for dozens of days, but there is no sign of clearing up.The sky is not beautiful, and the beautiful scenery by the East Lake is temporarily invisible. She has nothing to do, but she has become a frequent visitor to Li Zhenyun's family. Her calligraphy and painting, her piano skills, her understanding of life, her speech and behavior, Nothing makes people yearn for it.I am used to listening to her tell a beautiful story. Although I have heard that story before, it has another charm when it comes out of her mouth.

The orchid and Yiyi spread their fragrance.If you don't pick but wear it, Yu Lan will be hurt.

Today's spin, it's all right.I travel in all directions, every day and every year.

Snow frost trade trade, shepherd's buckwheat.If the child is not hurt, I don't care.

The luxuriance of shepherd's wheat, the abundance of shepherd's wheat.The injury of a gentleman is the defense of a gentleman.

She played and recited "Orchid Exercises" on the Bingxianqin by herself. In this situation, she herself is like an orchid in a deep valley, willing to be indifferent, admiring her lonely beauty, fearless of severe frost, and exuding a faint fragrance.In an instant, the drizzle had settled outside the window, and the breeze carried the fragrance of green grass leaves. The two of them came out one after the other to breathe, and walked on the gravel path in the small town all the way towards Gushan.

The trees in Gushan block out the sun, cool and quiet, and the vegetation and flower branches are dripping with rain and dew. When passing by, the skirt will always be wet.Walking halfway up the mountain, Li Zhenyun couldn't move anymore, so he fell down and sat on the wet grass to rest. Along the way, his face was a little reddish, not as pale as usual.An impatiens blossomed quietly beside me, fortunately it was born in the grass, sheltered from the wind and rain, I took a petal and applied it on my lips and cheeks, and took out a small water chestnut mirror to take a picture, and my lips were red. With dyed cheeks, this is like a normal person.

Standing in the middle of the mountain and looking down, the houses in Ligu Town are like pigeon cages. The picture in front of you seems to be familiar. Isn’t it the same scene when you look at the palace from the middle of the mountain in Kaijing?

"I've heard so many stories! It's time to pay back!" Hong Lin sat next to Li Zhenyun, ready to open his heart to outsiders for the first time.The weird thing is!The girl never asked him his name, which was something he admired. "I don't know which dynasty! The king at that time carefully selected several children as his personal guards! Among them, one child was his favorite! In this way, the two stayed together for a full ten years! Later, the king found out There is no heir, and there is nothing to come out of the harem, so he thought of letting that child...!"

The past that I no longer want to recall flashed back in my mind, why did I do that at that time!Mention is like a farce now!

"It's not uncommon! More than 1000 years ago, Emperor Ming of the Song Dynasty Liu Yu had no children. Didn't he stage this show with his concubine Chen Miaodeng and his favorite minister Li Daoer?" .

"But that child has been with the king since he was a child, and has never been in contact with it...!" Knowing that he had made a slip of the tongue, he was speechless, "I hope I am not blaspheming you!"

"I've read a lot of miscellaneous books! You still can't scare me! Go on! You must finish the story before it gets dark!" Li Zhenyun smiled and didn't care.

"That child started to hesitate! The deep love between the king and the queen is hard to repay! He doesn't know which side he should go! In the past ten years, he has endured countless infamy, treachery, banning, and even worse! But he Is there any way? For him, the king is a good teacher and friend, and he is deeply affectionate! He is like a caged bird that can never fly out! So he chose to escape and left the palace far away! "

"But what is that child thinking?" Li Zhenyun looked sideways, but saw the other party shaking his head in tears, and said boldly: "Since the entanglement is unclear, why not give up both of them! To save the three of them from suffering!"

Hong Lin turned his head suddenly, and the knot in his heart that had been entangled for years was broken by a little girl.It is not unreasonable to give up both, they are stars in the sky after all, they can be seen but cannot be grasped, and the bits and pieces of stars left behind are just memories!

In the misty mountains, the two walked side by side on the forest trail. The rain-washed mountains and forests are particularly fresh, and the mood is also relaxed.Li Zhenyun was exhausted long ago, sitting on the big bluestone by the roadside, refusing to move any more, clamoring for water.Hong Lin had no choice but to hold the stream water for her with the leaves, but unexpectedly, the wind blew the tree above his head, and his body and face were covered with rainwater.

Li Zhenyun laughed "hehe", and took out a silk handkerchief to wipe his face. The moment his fingers touched his cheeks, he couldn't help being upset, and there were only four words in his mind: Yaolin Yushu, not mixed with wind and dust!His skin is delicate and smooth, his bangs stick to one side of his cheeks in pieces, his brows are sparse, and his appearance is peerless.

"You're really good-looking!" It's not appropriate to describe a man like this, and he compared them subconsciously, "I can count on ten fingers the men I've seen! Father, four brothers, and Dongmo! Their appearance... !"

The woman in front of her was hesitant to speak, she was extremely shy, if she wasn't sick, she would be a stunning girl, seeing that it was getting late, she had to return to Ligu Town as soon as possible. "Let me carry you!" Without waiting for Li Zhenyun to answer, he carried her on his back, much softer than Hailan, as light as a bird!

The small town of Ligu is already filled with lights from thousands of families, glowing under the drizzle, Hai Lan waited for a long time under the eaves of Li Zhenyun's house with a lantern, not only her, but also the nurse, Dong Mo and the two maids Distraught.When they were at a loss, they suddenly saw Hong Lin coming back with Li Zhenyun who had fallen asleep on his back, and they finally felt relieved.Carried her all the way to the couch on the third floor before saying goodbye to the Li family and leaving. Hailan didn't say a word all the way.

"Brother, you go back first! I remembered that if I didn't buy salt, I won't be able to cook tomorrow morning!" Halfway through, Hailan found an excuse to leave, returned to Li's house with a lantern, and knocked loudly on the door.

Seeing that it was her, Dongmo happily opened the door. It happened that Li Zhenyun had just woken up. Hailan threw the lantern to the nurse, strode up to the third floor, and pushed open the door of Xuanxie. Apply makeup to the mirror.She is so thin that only a few bones are left, her face is as pale as a ghost, I really can't see what is good about her!Before Li Zhenyun could speak, Hailan slapped him hard!

"Do you know why I beat you?" Hai Lan grabbed Li Zhenyun's long hair and dragged her onto the couch, "Why! A person who is about to die still needs to be used as a backing! What are you!"

"It's not what you think!" Li Zhenyun didn't have any strength to resist, and her scalp was about to be torn off by her.

"What's that?" Hai Lan finally let go of her hair, clasped Li Zhenyun's wrist with both hands, and pressed her on the couch, "But I can play one or two pieces, and I just want to pick up the cheap ones! Don't even ask me." Are you happy? I wash and cook for him every day, so it’s a waste of time! It makes me anxious, and I can do anything!" Hai Lan moved her face closer to Li Zhenyun, and said coldly: "I have liked small children since I was a child. Rabbit, every year raises a litter and releases them! In order to talk to him a few more words! I smashed the rabbit’s leg with a stone! Do you want to do the same?” After finishing speaking, he pushed her away violently, and before leaving Turning around, "Dare to say one more word to him, be careful I will smash you like a rabbit!"

After Hailan left, Li Zhenyun cried all night, no matter what the nanny and others asked, she didn't say a word.One night and one day without water and rice, until the rain stopped in the evening, I went to play the piano by the window sill. Outside the window, the night was dim, and there seemed to be the sound of selling white sugar cakes. I was about to call the maidservant to buy it, but saw a familiar figure slowly approaching, busy The rhythm is changed to bright.

Hong Lin heard the sound of the zither just now, and in an instant it changed to the brisk "Yangchun Baixue". He was about to buy a plate of white sugar cakes for her, but the sound of the zither stopped abruptly, and no one was there.He called to open the door of Li's house, and rushed up to the third floor in a few steps. Li Zhenyun had already collapsed on the piano table, and hurriedly helped her up. She will never wake up.

Li Zhenyun seemed to have just woken up, slowly opened his eyes, and mocked himself: "I'm fine! I won't die so soon! There are still eight years to live!"

Finally, there was no danger, and he breathed a sigh of relief, and the nurse led a group of people away, so that they could say something considerate.

"I'm leaving!" Li Zhenyun sat motionless on the rug, lowered his head, tears seemed to fall from his eyes, "Brother wants to take me to Kaijing to recuperate!"

"Really!" Hong Lin was also deeply surprised.

"Leave in two days! There is no need to say goodbye!" Li Zhenyun removed the qin from the case and handed it into Hong Lin's arms. I don’t know how many treasures have been spent for what the country has gained! As long as I live, I hope there will be a chance to meet again!”

Holding the priceless famous piano, I was choked up in my heart for a while, I finally met a bosom friend, but we had to say goodbye again.This qin is made of ice silk as its strings, covered with frost and snow, and woven into a brocade.Shining like pearls, there is a natural beauty.

A few days later, when the spring rains first rested, I stopped under the attic where the flowers covered the willow shadows.What do you seem to have forgotten?He was so careless that he didn't even tell her his name!
