The scenery along the Yingshui is very pleasant, the woods are densely covered with pines and cypresses, accompanied by the slowly flowing Yingshui, the river is rustling and the birds are chirping, and the boat here makes people feel refreshed.

Ma Yue was generous, gave the captain of the ship and his men a lot of money, and sent the black man Liu Bo to the people's house to exchange gold and silver for some wine and food, and drank with him on the ship, so he was very friendly with the sailors of this ship on the way.

Cai Yan was also very happy along the way, she, like Ma Yue, had never been to the south, and even the farthest place was to Luoyang.

Cai Yan's guqin was smashed by hail, until leaving Luoyang did not repair and perfect, a few days ago the boat passed through the Chen country, Heifu in the market to find a pair of guqin dedicated to Ma Yue, although the tone of this guqin is much worse than Cai Yan's pair in the past, but it is also better than nothing.

At the bow of the boat, Cai Yan stood against the railing and stood against the wind, and the girl's graceful figure looked extremely beautiful under the reflection of the green mountains and clear waters on both sides.

Ma Yue sat cross-legged on the side and stroked the piano, and the melodious tune was heard far away with the breeze.

For more than ten days, Ma Yue except for occasionally getting off the boat to swim is to stroke the piano on the boat, and now his piano skills are no longer what they used to be. I saw that he first used the middle fingers of both hands to test the sound on the strings, and when the pleasant sound of the strings sounded, he listened attentively for a moment, and then stretched his slender ten fingers and slid on the strings. The sound of the piano is as refreshing as the gentle wind and drizzle, and it is just like the spring sun shining to make people warm. For a while, such as white clouds drifting, spring tides surging, bees dancing and butterflies surrounding, grass warblers flying, birds chirping, flowing water murmuring, between the slim and vast feeling of rain and fertile soil to nurture all things, but it is silent and silent, as if the earth is raising a burst of spirit, curling up to the sky......

Cai Yan closed his eyes and felt the breeze blowing on his body, and when he listened to Ma Yue's song, he pulled the fine hair in front of his forehead and said, "The song that Lang Jun played is so beautiful, Lang Jun's entry is very fast these days." ”

After more than ten days of getting along, the relationship between the two has improved a lot, which is also driven by Cai Yan's joy of being able to meet his father, Cai Yan finally stopped calling him Ma Jun, but replaced him with Lang Jun.

Ma Yue bowed his head lightly and said with a smile: "My piano skills are naturally inseparable from Senior Sister Yan'er's careful teaching...... Eh, Yan'er, wait, how about you listen to this. ”

Cai Yan nodded lightly, now she is not disgusted by Ma Yue calling her Yan'er, this is the most beautiful and best time in the lives of the two.

Accompanied by the green mountains and green waters, Ma Yue's mind suddenly remembered the melody of a laugh in the sea in his previous life, and his left hand briskly crossed the seven strings, and then closed his eyes and followed the feeling buried in the depths of his memory to explore and play.

It is always a bit strange for modern music scores to be played on the lyre, and besides, it is excavated from Ma Yue's memories of 20 years of dust, and the scores are not comparable at all, and there are countless fallacies, but the emotions that the pianist wants to express are the same.

Since entering Luoyang, Ma Yue's heart has always hovered between gains and losses, and hesitated in contradictions.

Many times he doesn't know which one to choose, just like the people of Dongjun are still meritorious, and Cao Cao of Jizhou is still Jianshuo.

After experiencing the killing of corpses, bones, blood, and wrists, when he returned to Luoyang, he just wanted to be relaxed, take some time, and let himself rest. But after a long time of leisure, he began to miss the time when he used to gallop and tear the wind.

Where is there a turning back in life? To choose is to lose, and to let go is to enjoy.

Ma Yue has always been like choosing a balance between the left and right, so that he does not seem so extreme, and in order to make his life perfect. But today, there is nothing perfect, there are more people in this world who envy him, but there are not many people who scold him behind his back. Keep hesitating, keep hesitating, taking care of one or the other, contradictions and confusion.

But when it comes to the end, isn't it just a laugh in the sea?

Constantly recalling, constantly thinking, Ma Yue's fingers plucked quickly on the strings, the sound of the piano was like a wave of unsettled waves, and occasionally there was a disclosure of not being satisfied with the frowning thoughts, and after a while, the sound of the piano came from the beginning.

Cai Yan leaned on the bow of the boat and watched Ma Yue close her eyes, listening to him play a tune she had never heard before, looking at Ma Yue's intoxicated expression, she felt that the sound of the piano was a little weird.

Good is really good, the tune is heroic and long...... It's just that it's too strange, the piano tunes of this era are mainly melodious and elegant, where is there such a tune.

"Senior Brother Ma is really serious about learning the piano these days, but it is impossible to make such a tune."

Cai Yan was confused, and suddenly saw Ma Yue hearing with both hands, opened his eyes very brightly, and said with a smile: "It feels almost, listen." ”

This time, Ma Yue integrated the whole song, with the previous several continuations, this time there was no sense of silence, and the surging music like a wave was played in his hands, flowing smoothly.

At the end of the song, not only Cai Yan, but even Heifu, Liu Bo, who were guarding not far away, and even the sailors on the deck also watched Ma Yue clapping their hands, this song was really amazing.

The music of this era is beautiful, but the taste is too plain.

Cai Yan blinked his eyes and said to Ma Yue: "Lang Jun, this song ......"

Ma Yue shrugged his shoulders and smiled: "Don't think about it, I can't write such a tune, I heard it when I was young when I went to the Western Regions, and I suddenly thought of it just now and wanted to see if I could play it, although there are still differences, but the artistic conception is almost the same." ”

Ma Yue didn't dare to tell Cai Yan that the song was made by himself, the first is that he disdains to do that, and the second is that it's okay to play it, if he says that he made it himself, could it be that everyone in the world has become a fool, right?

Cai Yan was very interested in this piece and asked, "Do you know the name of this piece?" ”

"Name?" Ma Yue hurriedly shook his head and said, "I don't know what this song is called, why don't you come up with a name?" ”

A laugh in the sea? How could it be called such a name, obviously Ma Yue had never even seen the sea.

Before Cai Yan could answer, the captain of the boat came over and bowed his hand to Ma Yue and Cai Yan and said, "Zhuangshi, you and your family members should enter the cabin first, the front is about to enter the Runan territory, and the water surface is not very flat." ”

No matter where they go, this place in Runan cannot be bypassed, so their route is from Yingshui to Huaishui, which just follows the edge of Runan County into the Huai River.

Cai Yan was embarrassed to call the boatman Ma Yue's family, but he didn't make a defense, Ma Yue nodded lightly at Uncle Liu, and said to Cai Yan: "Yan'er, then you can go into the cabin first, I want to see what the situation is." ”

Cai Yan nodded, thought for a while and said, "Then you have to be careful." ”

Ma Yue nodded and smiled, and asked the boat boss, "Boat family, what is the situation in Runan County?" ”

The boatman said: "Strong man, there are several Yellow Turban remnants in Runan County now wandering in the mountains, sometimes plundering the river by boat, sometimes robbing the people under the mountain, don't teach us to meet it." ”
