Chapter 63: Bosom Friend Lover
Bosom Lover (novel) Zhang Baotong 2016.4.17
Many years ago, on the riverside of the Miluo River in our home, there was a young student who played suona, and he often sat on the edge of a high cliff by the river and played suona. He can play all kinds of sounds and tunes, so people from nearby villages like to come to the river to listen to his music.
One day, a young and beautiful girl walked from the path next to the cliff by the river. This girl is the most beautiful girl in the nearby ten miles and eight towns, because she was born in a rich family, so she has a proud temperament and high eyes. Although there were many people who chased her in person and begged for relatives, she didn't fancy any of them. We don't know the name of the next child, and we don't know the name of this girl. But for the sake of telling the story, we named them Jiang Sheng and Jiumei respectively.
The ninth sister was going to her aunt's house and passing by here, but when she heard such a pleasant suona sound by the river, she stood on the cliffside of the road and listened. Jiang Sheng saw that the ninth sister looked like a fairy, and his heart seemed to be melted by the bright spring light in front of him. So, he played the best love song and love song and poured out his heart to the ninth sister. However, he blew song after song, from afternoon to dusk, but he didn't see the ninth sister emotional.
He was a little desperate, so he said to the ninth sister who listened to his music, "Beautiful girl, you really don't understand the meaning of this tune?"
The ninth sister said, "I'm not hard-hearted, I'm not moved, but none of your tunes can touch my heart." ”
Jiang Sheng was very ashamed when he heard it, he always felt that his playing was almost perfect, no one compared, but he didn't expect to be unable to move a girl's heart. He said to his sister, "I hope that next year, how about my sister come here again?"
The ninth sister said, "Okay." ”
Jiang Sheng left the riverside and did not know where to go. Since then, the riverside has been restored to its former tranquility. When people are lonely or walk by the river, they can no longer hear the pleasant sound of suona. Some people say that Jiang Sheng was led away by a girl from afar, and some people say that Jiang Sheng fell into the river and drowned. Gradually, people forgot about Jiang Sheng.
In fact, Jiang Sheng was neither led away by his sister nor fell into the river. He went to the south, far and deep in the mountains. There are no people in the mountains for nearly 100 miles, only a small ruined temple. There is a seventy-year-old monk in the temple. The monk was alone, blowing suona in the deep mountains and valleys all day long.
He wanted to worship the old man as a teacher, but the old man refused to take him in, because playing suona was too bitter and lonely, and he could neither be promoted to an official nor make a fortune. However, he knelt in front of the old man's door for seven days in a row, and the old man was moved and asked him, "Why are you so persistent?"
Jiang Sheng said, "I want to impress a girl with a touching tune, because she is so proud and so beautiful." ”
The old man said, "You can impress her for a while, how can you impress her for a lifetime?"
Jiang Sheng said, "Since I can impress her for a while, I can impress her for a lifetime." ”
The old man shook his head and said, "Confused." But he still accepted the apprentice.
Jiang Sheng followed the old man to get up before dawn in the morning, listening to the quiet sound of the hollow valley, the singing of a hundred birds, watching the clouds rolling up, the sunrise and sunset, and savoring it carefully and imitating it repeatedly. In the spring, he blows the joy of a hundred flowers, in the summer, he blows the heat of the scorching sun, in the autumn wind, he blows the desolation of falling leaves, and in the winter night, he blows the silence of snow. Sometimes he blows the tune peacefully and soothingly, and sometimes he blows the tune more majestic. He vowed to play the beautiful sound of all things in the world.
He kept blowing, he kept learning, and after a year, he could already blow the agitation of the sunrise, the gentleness of the moonlight, and the loftiness of the plum and the sorrow of the cuckoo. He said goodbye to his master and returned to the river.
That day, the ninth sister still had to go to her aunt's house, and when she walked by the riverside road, she unconsciously had a wonderful suona song floating in her heart. The sound is not heard, it is felt, and it is getting clearer and more real. It reminded her of last year's rendezvous.
So, she walked to the high cliff beside the road. When she saw the familiar young man walking towards her with a beautiful music, tears poured out like a spring.
Looking at her intoxicated look, he didn't speak, just took her hand and took her back home.
The two have lived together ever since. Every night, she asked him to play music for her, and she listened to his music, wept, and dragged him into the house to sleep, and then fell into a dream happily together.
They lived like this for half a year. However, gradually, he got tired of this kind of life, tired of blowing suona all day long, because suona was very tired and annoying after blowing for a long time. As a result, he became addicted to money and gambling, and liked to show off and show off. His suona tunes could no longer touch her heart.
On this day, the ninth sister said goodbye from home without saying goodbye, and left a note, saying that she was gone and would not come back, and asked him not to look for her. He didn't go to her either, because he knew that even if he looked for her, it would be useless, because his music could no longer impress her. So, he brought in a beautiful girl. But this girl doesn't like to listen to him play suona. As soon as he hears him blowing suona, he will be upset and will shout loudly. Therefore, he took this girl out to eat, drink and gamble every day.
Soon, the family's money was squandered. The young girl also left him. Jiang Sheng, who had no money, was left with only that suona. He came to the high cliff by the river again and blew the suona, because he longed and missed his beloved ninth sister. However, he blew for many days, but he still didn't see the ninth sister.
He was extremely sad, knowing that his suona sound could no longer move her. So, he left home again and went to the mountains. However, the master was gone, and only a small lonely temple remained, dilapidated to the point of decay.
He sat in front of the ruined temple in the cold wind and kept blowing suona. In the sometimes agitated, sometimes sad music, he saw the ninth sister being moved to tears, and even felt the sweet kiss and infinite love of the ninth sister. It blew away the cold winter, ushered in the warm spring, blew away the summer heat, and ushered in the cool autumn.
At noon in the middle of a mountain where autumn chrysanthemums were blooming, he saw a gorgeously dressed woman come to him, she was so noble and beautiful that he didn't dare to look up at her. So, he lowered his head and played the suona recklessly, blowing the suona loudly to hide his shame. When the tears rolled down the suona in big drops, he saw that the noble woman had already thrown herself into his arms. He picked up his ninth sister and began to cry.
They returned to their homes. He continued to blow suona for her every day, in order to move her, in order not to disappoint her, he regarded the high cliff by the river as a broken temple in the mountain, and kept blowing suona against the river. Because he knew that once he left the suona, he would lose a qiē.
