He's been caught for the show.

The memories of the old days surged out uncontrollably, and the nails painted with Kodan sank into the palms.

But before Ru Qixiu fell into deeper emotions, a snow-white handkerchief appeared in front of her eyes. This scene overlapped with the old scene, which made her look up in a daze, and saw a much younger face.

But the expression and demeanor on it seemed to be the same as that of the previous year.

Compared with "father and son blood relationship", it is more like "reincarnation"...

Ru Qixiu was stunned, a surge of hope suddenly ignited in her heart, but before she could realize it, the illusion-like overlapping only lasted for a moment, and then suddenly shattered.

The young man frowned slightly, and called out worriedly, "Aunt Ru?"

Ru Qixiu closed her eyes vigorously, but finally took the handkerchief, she didn't use it to wipe her tears, but tightly held it in her palm, just like back then.

Chai Zhu was completely out of the situation and had no idea what was going on.

It seemed that she was talking well and soundly like the wife suddenly cried.If this can be explained by the reason of "remembering the old things", but when Huo Yan handed over the square handkerchief, the change in the other party's expression is hard to describe.

Anyway, Chai Zhu's reaction was to subconsciously lean in Lin Long's direction again.

He is definitely not afraid.

Just, just... just can't bear to...

Yes, I can't bear to see the beauty weeping.

Fortunately, Mrs. Ru didn't do anything irrational in the end, she just clutched the handkerchief tightly, her expression seemed to be in a trance.

The boat was going down the current, and it was almost on the shore, when Madam Ru stood up suddenly, not caring that the boat hadn't docked yet, and left in a hurry without even finding a reason.

The hem of the skirt embroidered with flower branches with gold thread was soaked by the lake water, and dragged some mud from the shore. The messy water traces meandered away from the gravel road in the garden, watching the figure in red completely disappear from sight , Chai Zhu heaved a sigh of relief as the shaking of the boat finally stopped because of the sudden absence of a person on board.

To be honest, for a moment just now, he even mistakenly thought that Mrs. Ru would pull their boat and sink directly to the center of the lake.

The other party's expression at that moment was really like the femme fatale who feeds on people's hearts in the scriptures.

It really is an illusion, right?

Chai Zhu felt that it might be the sequelae of the bandits he met last time. Anyway, after he came out there, he was always a little suspicious and restless.

At first, I felt more at ease by Huo Yan's side, but since I knew last night that "Huo" of "Huo Yan" is that "Huo", his previous restlessness can be said to be trivial, and this kid is the one who may blow up by his side at any time. The one that opened was shocking and muffled.

In short, at this moment, the sudden warning sense of crisis disappeared, and Chai Zhu was belatedly worried about Mrs. Ru's obviously wrong state just now.

Lin Long shook her head, but didn't explain much.

—Who wouldn't leave a knot in his heart after watching such an ending for that lord?

He arranged retreat routes for almost everyone, but only completely blocked his own route.

She sighed: "Let her go... It's good to be quiet for a while."

Whether he can figure it out or not, that person is not in this world after all.

After she finished speaking, she paused for a while, turned her gaze to Chu Lu, and said slowly: "I have composed a song in recent years, do you want to listen to it?"

Before Chu Lu could answer, Chai Zhu was so excited that he completely forgot about the previous shadow. The two brothers put their arms around Chu Lu's shoulders and agreed for him.

——It would be a fool not to agree.

Obviously, I didn't catch up with the whole day when I arrived at Chichun Pavilion, but I met everyone who rarely appeared on the stage even when I was fifteen, and now I was asked by Pavilion Master Lin if I want to listen to the music. The master of the qin music is the Layman Liuhe who traveled to Changyu two years ago, and he is a famous master of qin music.

Chai Zhu felt that with his current luck, he should go to the opponent's gambling house for a few rounds: whether he won or not was second to none, and the main thing was to add trouble to them.

Chu Lu glanced at Chai Zhu who was thinking of something silly and happy, but he didn't say anything after all, and acquiesced to his reply.

……

This is just a small boat drawn impromptu, the body of the boat is cramped, and although there is still room for people to sit on it, it can't even let go of the piano stool. Naturally, it is impossible to do the elegant thing of listening to music on the lake.

However, Chai Zhuke didn't feel regretful at all.

——It’s better to be on the ground.

How nice and safe the ground is.

Although Mrs. Ru has left, Huo Yan is still on the boat.

As long as he is there, Chai Zhu always feels that the boat under his buttocks is not very strong and may capsize at any time.

A group of people turned to an attic.

In the Accord, Lin Long adjusted the strings with lowered eyes, but suddenly said, "After listening to this song, if you still have doubts... go to the capital again."

Only then did Chai Zhu remember that the reason Huo Yan refused Mrs. Ru just now was that he was going to the capital to inquire about something.

Although he knew that Huo Yan was going to the capital, this was the first time he knew the specific reason.

Also because he never asked.

After all, before yesterday, he had been acquiescing that the other party should use the word "back" when going to the capital. What special reason do you need to "go home"?Naturally, he didn't think too much about it.

This really can't be blamed on his misunderstanding, after all, this kid is of extraordinary background at first glance, and he can't speak any strange Mandarin without any strange accents. He thinks it's normal for the other party to be from the capital.

Chai Zhu suddenly became curious: what did Huo Yan ask?Who to ask?Are you asking about Huo Xiang back then?

His sudden curiosity and doubts were suppressed by the rising sound of the piano.

Pavilion Master Lin's qin sound is worthy of her reputation, Chai Zhu still has various questions in his mind, but his mind is gradually immersed in the qin music following the tune.

This piece is not like what he often listens to, it rarely uses light inflections, it sounds thick and simple, and even reminds Chai Zhu of the music of sacrifice, but it is not singing the gods.

It's telling this world...

Chai Zhu couldn't help but close his eyes, and with the sound of music, he seemed to have stepped into this picture of the world——

Seedlings germinate, cooking smoke curls up, and there are one or two cries of children in the distance, and I don’t know who’s children’s laughter is mixed;

Bustling and bustling, people coming and going, hawkers in the market are yelling and selling hard, and some thieves are caught by the police patrolling the streets, and they are turned away to the government office under the guidance of passers-by;

Pavilions, terraces, pavilions, cups and cups are intertwined, and the host of the drunken banquet takes away the work of the actors and performs a sword dance in the hall;

……

Scholars went to Beijing to rush for the exam, and they simply read the papers without sleep on moonlit nights;

Among the many palaces, the officials speak bluntly about the pros and cons of political affairs, their backs are as straight as bamboo joints;

……

In the border desert, there seemed to be the sound of a horn, but it was the rustling of yellow sand rolling over. Listening carefully, I only heard a few veterans joking and joking. A full moon hung high in the sky, illuminating this peaceful night;

……

…………

Chai Zhuben felt that Pavilion Master Lin was like an orchid living alone in a deep valley, or fresh snow untainted by the mundane world.Although he had never heard of it, he also guessed that the sound of Pavilion Master Lin's piano might be the rolling clouds in the sky, or the crowing of white cranes on a lonely mountain.

But I don't want...it fills the whole world...

- Joy in the world.

………………

…………

……

Although it says "joy", there is an inexplicable layer of oppressive dullness and stagnation in the tune.

In the song, it is clear that everything is fine, but the people who hear it feel heavy in their hearts, and even their breathing is blocked.

He inexplicably had a question——

What is the exchange of this prosperity and joy?

This doubt is really unreasonable and unreasonable.

Chai Zhu felt that he might have talked too much about his family's business, and he had lost his mind.

This is not talking about business with people, what is there to exchange or not?

The faint sound of the zither was silent, but it seemed that there was still a lingering sound, and no one spoke for a long time.

After a long time, Lin Long, who was sitting in front of the piano, retracted the fingers that were pressing on the strings, and folded them in front of him.

"The mountains and rivers are beautiful in late days, and the flowers and plants are fragrant in the spring breeze."*

It is clearly a phrase describing a wonderful spring, but at this moment when the female voice reads it so lightly, it adds a bit of melancholy and heavy, as if the arrival of spring is finally too late.

yes……

It was too late, even late, he failed to catch a glimpse of the rejuvenation of the land.

The winter of that year was so cold that the dripping water turned into ice, but the spring came and warmed up, and everything returned to vitality.

It's just... that person will sleep forever in the silent heavy snow after all, without a chance to see him.

Chai Zhu didn't know the thoughts hidden in the woman's drooping eyelashes.

He just recited this line of the poem again and again in his heart.

This feeling and this scene are exaggerated by the previous music, and he seems to have experienced a kind of melancholy that was not in the original poem.

Chi Chun Pavilion...

That's where it got its name from.

"I heard."

In the end, it was these four words that broke the silence.

The young man's clear voice sounded, and the woman who had lowered her eyes and bowed her head suddenly raised her head as if she was startled by something.

Chu Lu laughed, "Aunt Lin's piano skills are as good as the rumors. The sound of the piano sounds like a hole in the soul, and then travels around the Kyushu..."

Chai Zhu was stunned for three breaths before realizing that this kid was flattering with such a sincere face.

Thinking of the other party's gesture of easily avoiding the girls when he first entered the Chichun Pavilion.

Chai Zhu:! ! !

This is too good, right? !He suspected with reason that the other party's performance that he hadn't even heard of the name "Chichun Pavilion" at the beginning was deceiving him.

But no matter what, you can't lose!

Chai Zhu immediately took the lead, and praised sincerely: "As expected of Master Lin, the sound of the piano is like walking on the field in spring... like a clear mountain stream... makes people..."

Chai Zhuzheng sincerely published his impressions of his thousand-character long essay, but Lin Long, who was another party involved, was absent-minded.

She couldn't help but think back to the four words she just heard——

【I heard】

It seems that the sound of the piano, which has been traveled all over the mountains and rivers and polished for many years, finally fell into the ears of the person she originally wanted to play.

The man also responded with a smile.

i heard...

I heard that the mountains and rivers are beautiful and peaceful.

i heard...

I heard the prosperity and music you wanted to play for me.

……

…………

Obviously, what caught her eyes was the immature face of a young man, but at that moment, she felt an inexplicable sense of certainty: what she wanted to convey, what she wanted to tell, was finally conveyed to the person she wanted to give it to.

This idea is very unreasonable, but the consciousness gave feedback first.

Most of the weight that had been layered on my heart for many years was suddenly lifted, and my tense spirit seemed to be relaxed all of a sudden.

Time that seemed to be stagnant since that winter day finally moved forward slowly.

Lin Long looked at the greenery around her and felt the sunlight falling on her body. It seemed that she finally woke up from a dull perception. She was in a trance... It's spring...

It is no longer a rigid attempt to grasp everything and forcefully mix all the "joy" into the sound of the piano.

The chirping of insects and birds in my ears is so clear and beautiful, without having to study the rhythm over and over again, they have already merged into a melodious little tune.

Lin Long looked at the young man in front of him, but couldn't help thinking.

perhaps……

It's really like what Qixiu said, the adults are watching everything in this world from the sky.
