Chapter 214: The Story
When the melody sounded, the eyes of all the men and women in the room shrank, and many people here originally thought that this unremarkable guy was grandstanding.
But with the harmony jumping out, it is like a bud blooming in an instant, graceful and swaying, incomparably gorgeous.
After a few melodies, someone got up and slowly approached Xiao Nan's side, and then more people got up and surrounded him as if they had been enchanted.
Flowers bloom, butterflies come, water ripples, weeping willows swing. They seemed to have been entwined by this novel melody and entered their brains, and the wonderful notes were like immature little hands, swaying all kinds of crystalline and tangible emotions in their vast minds.
Coming and going, or motherly kindness, or lovers' lingering, sometimes clear in front, sometimes hidden in the blue sky.
There was no noise in the room except for the sound of the piano, and twenty or so people, all motionless in front of the performer.
Their eyes were staring at Xiao Nan's left hand and plucking the strings' right hand, the fingers flowed like a dance, and when Xiao Nan's fingers stopped in the slowdown, everyone breathed out, as if they had just woken up from a dream, and began to seriously look at the honest man in front of them.
Xiao Nan lifted the dark red piano with one hand and shook his head in exhalation.
"What's wrong?" Xun Yue had been sitting beside him, full of tenderness and sweetness, and full of pride.
"The sound quality of this piano is very poor, the feel is not good, and it is a little awkward to play. Xiao Nan seemed to be muttering to himself, and he was already thinking about how to find a craftsman to do it.
"You say that the sound quality of this piano is good, then you take a good sound quality and come out, we will see it!" Gu Mengluo's eyes, which had been moved by the previous music, were filled with little stars, and when he heard his words, his heart was suddenly annoyed.
As soon as her voice fell, Xiao Nan hurriedly raised her head, knowing that her words were inappropriate, she quickly shook her head and apologized: "I...... I don't, I think the tone would have been more perfect if I had changed it a little. ”
Gu Mengluo may be due to the temperament of his daughter's family, and he didn't listen to his explanation, paced forward, reached out and took the piano in Xiao Nan's hand, and said coldly: "I don't think it's so bad, I just like this kind of sound, this is a birthday gift from my best friend, where we are, this wood is extremely rare." ”
Qin was snatched away, Xiao Nan's hand was still raised in the air, his eyes were full of reluctance, and he made a pouted crying face, "I also want such a birthday gift!"
The sound of "poof" sounded immediately, the woman covered her mouth and head, and the man either hummed or bared his teeth and was happy.
Even Gu Mengluo, who was already angry, had a smile on his fair face again.
"May I ask the name of this son, can you play another song for us?" Wen Kouwen, the retainer who came with the Gu family brothers and sisters, asked with a smile.
"My name is Lu Yuan,......。 ”
"It's my distant cousin, who came to Jingcheng to participate in the magic competition. Lu Miaoying hurriedly said beside her.
"It turned out to be the honorable Lu family, Brother Lu, you said earlier that if you changed it slightly, the timbre would be better, how should I change this piano?" Wen Kou continued to ask.
Xiao Nan was about to open his mouth to answer, but Gu Mengluo preemptively asked: "Lu Yuan, you don't have a five-stringed piano yourself? Where did you learn your piano skills so high? I haven't heard this piece before, can you write me the score?"
The question of these two people made Xiao Nan a little stammered, but only later, he blinked his eyes and looked at the two of them and said, "Although my surname is Lu, my family situation has always been bad.
My parents didn't have the talent to practice magic, but for me, they poured all their belongings into the family and exchanged some spirit stones for me to cultivate, but there were very few spirit stones, and I was stupid and stupid, so I didn't step into the threshold of magic cultivation for several years.
Until the end, the family was exhausted, and my parents passed away due to old age, and when my father died, he told me to go to Jingcheng to find the Lu family. The mountains are high and the road is far away, and this search is decades. ”
When Xiao Nan said this, as if he had taken it seriously, his expression began to gloom, he rubbed his hands and continued to mutter: "It's good to be at home for a thousand days, but it's hard to go out for a day. ”
"One day outside a hotel, I smelled the aroma of food, and I couldn't take a step for a while, and there happened to be a white-haired old man sitting at a table at the side door of the store, also alone, so he beckoned me in. ”
When Xun Yue heard this, she patted Xiao Nan's arm and said, "This old man taught you this?" But as soon as she finished asking this, she suddenly woke up, and only scolded herself in her heart: "You fool, he is lying and making up stories,...... This bastard...... Really not a good person, a serious nonsense. ”
Xiao Nan grinned at her slyly: "Yes, you are so smart, you can guess it at once, I, I have studied with this white-bearded old man for more than ten years, and then I went to various Fengyue places to become a pianist." ”
"Do you sell your body or not, what kind of body do you sell as a man?" Su Jin heard such words for the first time, and she was curious and funny.
The rest of the people also found this interesting.
It's just a metaphor, those days were not easy, but I was finally able to eat and dress warmly, and I traveled all the way, and it took more than 20 years to finally arrive in Jingcheng. ”
After Xiao Nan finished speaking, he wanted to show a heavy expression that had gone through hardships and vicissitudes, but he was only halfway revealed, and he couldn't help but laugh first.
This made people who didn't know the inside story so stunned, he hurriedly calmed down and said: "Hey, now I finally see the sun and the moon through the dark clouds, and the bitterness is sweet, and the bitterness is sweet!"
Lu Miaoying and Wei Shuangling, who were on the side, listened to his nonsense, and couldn't wait to step forward to pinch him immediately, even Xun Qianhu, Han Yuzheng, and Wei Shuangqi, who knew the inside story, had the urge to step forward and kick him.
But how did others know that his words were made up lies, he was here for fun, and listening to such stories was also a pastime, so although everyone had returned to their seats, they were all listening with their ears open, and even moved the table to Xiao Nan's side,
Gu Mengluo listened even more attentively, thinking about his words, and when he finished speaking, he asked: "The person you said taught you, and you will do too, don't you have your own musical instrument?"
"How can I have it? It's not convenient to say it, I didn't store jade at that time after resisting such a big thing all day. What's more, when you go to places like restaurants and teahouses, they will also provide musical instruments, but I have only seen this five-stringed instrument from my master, not anywhere else. ”
With that, he took a sip of his glass, and the rest of the people began to enjoy their own feast.
"The surname is Xiao, you are so bold!" a woman's voice suddenly appeared in his mind. This situation, Xiao Nan is too familiar, Xiao Worm has done this to him before, and there is Hongmei's father, the male double soul leopard.
Xiao Nan was shocked in his heart, and the wine glass in his hand was also swaying, but fortunately, there was not much wine left, and there was no spillage.
He was about to turn his head to watch, when the voice sounded in his head again, the voice was still majestic and cold, "Don't turn your head, you just listen, pretend that nothing happened, it's not difficult for you." ”
The voice paused, Xiao Nan's eyebrows tightened, but he also followed the instructions in his words, and it was indeed not difficult for him to pretend that nothing happened.
"Your kid's life is really big, and when you get to the area of the Quehuan Swamp, you can still come back alive. ”
Hearing this, Xiao Nan's mind suddenly became cheerful and relaxed, he could guess who the person who spoke was, the tenth ** was the woman who sent him into the Quehuan Swamp, and this woman was Wei Shuangling's master, Shangguan Yun of the Xingyue Sect.
Xiao Nan has always been grateful to her, and he didn't dare to forget the grace of his life, he raised his wine glass and said to Xun Yue beside him: "I know who you are, thank you for helping me before?"
His voice was low, but he believed that the people who passed the words into his head would surely hear them.
But Xun Yue was confused by his sudden move, "I won't drink with you, I'm stupid...... No, you're stupid!" She was still upset about how she had been fooled.
However, Xiao Nan drank the wine glass dry, and she still took a sip of the wine glass, and glared fiercely.
The voice sounded again, "Who do you care who I am, don't dare to get carried away with your life, you really shouldn't have come back so soon!"
Xiao Nan poured himself a full drink, and raised his glass to Xun Yue and said, "Please help me in the future." After speaking, he didn't care about Xun Yue's reaction, and drank it all again.
Xun Yue was teasing Hongmei with Dong Guo and Wei Shuangqi at this time, and was stunned: "Help you, help you, help you?"
"Help me out of the sea of suffering, and enjoy only the great mercy. ”
Xun Yue looked at him for a long time, and then hummed softly, and said softly: "You, don't drink it, it's too much." After saying that, he grabbed his wine glass in his hand and put it on the other side.
"Don't be flamboyant, get out of the sea of bitterness, hum, I think you are a gentle countryman who is drunk and dreams of death...... Since you can steal your life in the Quehuan swamp, you still have to come back to die, and be merciful to you, and let thousands of people suffer greatly. ”
Shangguan Yun was telling the truth, and Xiao Nan also understood, he was stunned and at a loss, "Could it be that I go back to the Quehuan Swamp again?"
At this moment, Lu Miaoying and Wei Shuangling both stood up, and Wei Shuangling said to the people present: "I suddenly thought of something to do with Sister Miaoying, so I will go first." ”
Lu Miaoying also took over the conversation, "In a few days, we will get together again, there is indeed something going on here." ”
"What's the matter?" Lu Yujie asked, looking at his sister.
"Brother, I won't cause you trouble, don't believe me yet!"
"Well, I believe you, and you're more sensible than you used to be. "It's true that Lu Yujie feels sorry for his sister, and it is also out of nature to spoil him.
"Then let's go!" Lu Miaoying took Wei Shuangling's hand and said, seeing Gu Mengluo smiling at each other, she hurriedly explained: "Sister Mengluo, I won't accompany you today, tomorrow, tomorrow you can come to live at my house." ”
When she walked up to Xiao Nan, she also signaled: "You can go back too, I will arrange a beast cart for you to send you." ”
Xun Yue was a clever ghost, so he stood up and followed the three of them out of the door regardless of it.
As soon as he turned the corridor, he heard footsteps following behind, and after walking for more than ten meters, Wei Shuangling stopped and said, "Wait." ”
She and Lu Miaoying knew who was coming, because they had also received Shangguan Yun's voice in their minds before.
Sure enough, the woman who had been sitting next to Su Jin walked out from around the corner.
The woman approached and snorted coldly, "Follow me!"
