Chapter Twenty-Eight: Flute Ensemble
Ru Yan and Chen Bo were still talking, and Hazy Moon ran over with joy, holding a white pigeon in her hand, "It's Bai Xue, it's a letter from Youming Valley!" ”
Ru Yan looked at her with a smile and said, "Open it and take a look, see how happy it makes you!" ”
Hazy Moon hurriedly took off the small white cloth strip wrapped around the pigeon's feet, and unfolded it to look at it: "It was written by Sister Xuexue, Sister Xuexue said that they all missed us, and asked when we could go back to Youming Valley to get together!" ”
"Then you can help me reply that we will leave for the Valley of Quiet Tomorrow!"
"Really, we can really go back to Youming Valley tomorrow, great, I miss Youming Valley so much, then I'll reply immediately!"
was about to run away from Haze Yue, but was stopped by Ru Yan again, "Wait a minute, help me send a letter to Min Shu, and ask him to go to the court to say that my injuries have healed and I can take office." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Okay!" Hazy Moon replied.
"Miss ......", Uncle Chen looked at Ru Yan with concern, wanting to say something, but he didn't know how to speak, so he didn't say anything.
But Ru Yan said to Uncle Chen with understanding: "Don't worry, I will take care of myself!" ”
After packing up the next day, Chen Bo sent someone to send them to Qingyun Ferry, planning to take a boat down the Zijiang River, and they could reach Taohuakou in less than half a day, and then rest for one night in Taohuakou, and then it would be a one-day journey from Taohuakou to Youming Valley.
Hazy Moon looked very happy, bouncing along the way, while Pothos seemed to be in a particularly depressed mood. After all, pothos is the same age as Hazy Moon, and you can also play a piece. Green pothos is more introverted, and it is hard to have a companion, but now, Hazy Moon is leaving, how to make her not sad?
Hazy Yue also discovered the pothos' careful thoughts, so she said to Ru Yan: "Brother, can we take the pothos with us?" ”
Ru Yan asked, "Pothos, do you want to come with us?" ”
Pothos nodded vigorously.
"Okay, then we'll take you away!" Ru Yan said, "Then she said to the nursing home who came to escort them: "You go back and tell the chief steward, I will take care of me with the pothos!" “
"Thank you, Childe, thank you!" The pothos was so happy that she hugged the hazy moon.
After waiting for about half an hour, the passenger ship came. This type of passenger ship can accommodate about 20 people, and consists of two parts, a deck in the front and a passenger cabin in the back. The cabins are divided into private rooms and shared rooms. Generally, the wealthy live in private rooms, with good privacy and a supply of tea and snacks, while civilians can only stay in a large room, without tea and snacks, but there will be stools.
When the three of them went up, there happened to be the last private room on the ship that was close to the deck. After entering, Ru Yan opened the window inside, and suddenly the wind outside blew in, which was pleasant and pleasant. The pothos had never been on a boat, so she was very curious, so she kept climbing at the window, watching the scenery along the way, and seemed very happy.
After a while, Xiao Er on the boat brought tea and snacks, and Ha Yue started eating as usual. Blowing the wind, Ru Yan wanted to sleep a little.
But when he was about to sleep, he heard a flute sound from the cabin.
The sound of the flute has always been moving with a sad sound. The repertoire played by this person is "Remembering the Old Man on a Moonlit Night", and the original composer of this song is a true Taoist of Lishan Ban. Banzhen Taoist and Changyang laymen are confidants and old friends, and they often drink together and discuss the Tao. Later, the two simply moved together, lived next to each other, and lived happily like fairies. But one day, Banzhen Daoist went next door to find the Changyang monk, but found that the Changyang monk had passed away suddenly. Banzhen Taoist people were sad and lonely, so they composed this song "Remembering the Old Man on a Moonlit Night" to express their longing for the Changyang monks.
However, this person's flute voice is very unique, "Remembering the Old Man on a Moonlit Night" is a tragic song, and the song is whimpering, but this person's flute sound is obviously bright and cheerful, with hope and expectation.
Ru Yan walked out very curiously. I saw the man playing with his back to her, with a slender figure, and when the river breeze blew, the man's long hair and clothes fluttered in the wind, peerless and dusty.
Ru Yan was stunned for a while.
"Why is Yuan Gongzi you?" It was the hazy moon that spoke.
It turned out that Hazy Yue had seen Ru Yan come out for a while, and she was worried that something would happen to her, so she also followed, but she happened to meet Yuan Feng who was also about to come to the deck in the aisle.
Yuan Feng nodded to Ha Yue in greeting, nodded to Ru Yan when he passed by her, and walked straight to the man who was playing the flute.
The one who played the flute was Yu Heng.
Yu Heng turned his head and looked at Ru Yan and smiled elegantly: "Brother Xiao Chen, we meet again!" ”
"What a coincidence!" Ru Yan replied.
"Brother Yu's flute voice is really unique!" Ru Yan said.
"What? Is it because I didn't play "Memories of the Old Man on a Moonlit Night" like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves? ”
Ru Yan smiled.
"Brother Xiao Chen, are you interested in having a piano and flute ensemble?" Yu Heng asked.
"Accompany you to the end!" Ru Yan replied.
"Boatman, you have a piano here, borrow one!" Yu Heng shouted to the boatman on the other side of the deck.
"I said this master, we rough people don't have those Sven plays, but last time a guest dropped a flute here, do you want it?" The boatman replied.
"Yes, of course!"
"Then you can go with me and get it!"
Yuan Feng took the flute and handed it to Ru Yan.
Ru Yan asked, "What tune does Brother Yu want to play?" ”
"How about we play a piece of "Qingyuan Tune" together?
"Very good!"
However, after only playing for a short while, the two stopped, and Ru Yan's face turned crimson.
Hazy Moon didn't know why, and said, "Why do I feel that your ensemble doesn't match well?" “
Ru Yan's face turned even redder.
It turned out that although the two of them were blowing "Qingyuan Tune", Yu Heng was blowing "Qingyuan Tune" made by Chang Wat, expressing a kind of casual, casual, and free and easy, and a beautiful vision of blending into all things on the earth. The "Qingyuan Tune" played by Ru Yan is the "Qingyuan Tune" by Li Zibai, which tells the love story of King Huai of the Dynasty and his beloved concubine Ziyu, expressing a kind of love and longing.
But it was a thunderclap that broke the embarrassing scene.
The summer weather is like this, it can change, just now the sky is clear, but at this moment there is already thunder and dark clouds gathering.
At this time, the pothos also came out and shouted: "Childe, it seems to be raining, come in quickly!" “
Ru Yan hurriedly said goodbye to Yu Heng, then quickly took Ha Yue's hand and fled into her private room.
After coming in, Ru Yan still felt that her heart was pounding like a deer. She didn't understand what was wrong with herself, wasn't she usually very calm and calm?
The rain outside had already begun to fall, and it was getting heavier and heavier, and the rain began to drift in through the windows, and the pothos hurriedly knocked down the window panels.
Sitting in the boat and listening to the crackling rain outside, it is also a unique flavor.
"Quick, quick, quick, this way, this way!" There was a cacophony from the decks outside.
Pothos lifted the curtain and saw that it was all the ship's shipwrights busy on the deck, and the shipowner looked very anxious. And outside there were dark clouds, and it was clear that it was daylight, but it was like night. And the rain at this time can not be described as down, it can only be said to be poured.
"What's wrong, pothos?"
"I don't know, but the owner of the ship seems to be in a hurry!" Pothos replied.
"Could it be that the ship is sinking?" Hazy Moon said in horror.
"Don't talk nonsense, Hazy Moon!" Ru Yan is most afraid of the 'prophecy' of the hazy moon, often saying what is coming.
Sure enough, the ship began to shake violently.
Pothos stood at the door and didn't stand firm for a moment and fell to the ground. Ru Yan also almost fell and was caught by Hazy Moon.
There were all sorts of exclamations and screams outside.
"Oh no, Childe, the boat is on fire!" Pothos crawled at the door, only to see that the other private rooms were already burning.
It turned out that the sky suddenly turned dark, and some of the passengers lit the oil lamps in the cabins, but in the shock and turbulence of the ship just now, the oil lamps fell to the ground, causing a fire.
"Why is it on fire again, isn't it flooding?" Hazy Moon asked.
At this time, I suddenly heard someone outside shouting: "Oh no, the boat is in the water, the boat is in the water!" “
Ru Yan also glanced at Hazy Moon helplessly, and Hazy Yue covered her mouth consciously.
The boat continued to jolt, and Luluo grabbed the door while asking Ru Yan with a crying voice, "Childe, we won't die here, right?" “
"Phew!" Hazy Moon hurriedly said: "I still want to live a hundred lives, I don't want to die here, I will be eaten by fish!"
Hearing this, the pothos cried "wow".
"Hazy Moon, you see that you scared the pothos into crying!" Ru Yan reproached.
At this time, someone staggered in and almost stepped on the pothos at the door.
When I got closer, I realized that it was Yu Heng and Yuan Feng.
"The ship has entered the water, it looks like it is going to sink, let's go out to help the boatmen, you just stay here, don't go out until the moment of crisis!" As soon as Yu Heng finished speaking, he went out of the door with Yuan Feng and headed towards the cabin.
Ru Yan walked slowly to the door, holding the edge of the door and looking towards the cabin, and in a few moments of lightning, she saw that Yu Heng and Yuan Feng had been drenched in heavy rain. Yu Heng was talking to the owner of the ship, the thunder and rain were so loud that Yu Heng was almost shouting, however, Ru Yan still couldn't hear what they were saying.
The fire in the other private rooms had been extinguished, but water was beginning to soak in on the floor.
I saw Yu Heng and Yuan Feng return to the cabin and shouted at the passengers: "Women, the old man and the child stay in the cabin, and the men come out!" ”
Hearing this, Ru Yan was arguing about whether she wanted to go out or not. Yu Heng passed by her side and said to her, "Don't stay here, go in quickly!" ”
Soon the men in the cabin walked towards the deck, and Yu Heng directed the passengers to scoop out the water poured into the boat while plugging the hole in the boat with sandbags.
And the boatmen are struggling to divert the ship's mound.
After a while, Ru Yan felt that the ship seemed to be moving in a different direction.
After another hour or so, the ship suddenly shook and stopped.
I heard someone outside shouting, "Dock, dock!" ”
When the others heard this, they wept with joy, "Great, great! ”
Pothos climbed up, "Great, Childe, the ship is docked, we don't have to die!" ”
"Pothos, don't worry, with my hazy moon, the big lucky star, you will definitely not die!" Hazy Moon patted her chest and said.
At this time, Yu Heng came in again.
"Yu Gongzi, have we arrived at Peach Blossom?"
"No, the ship is docked, but I don't know where it was, and the ship itself has moved away from its original direction in the heavy rain. When the boat was in the water, I noticed that there was a shore on the right side of the boat under the light of lightning, so I asked the boatman to find a way to make the boat lean to the right. ”
"So, now we're in an unknown place, right?" Hazy Moon was also scared.
Yu Heng nodded, "The boat is still flooding, let's get off the boat, and wait for the rain to stop before making plans." ”
