【Chapter 128】 Wild Fun in the Country
The sound of leisurely blowing from the tiny leaves makes a crisp, high-pitched voice through the willow forest and into the sky. Although Liu Rui played a tune that Zeng Ying and Guo Hailan had never heard, it was like a spring in the mountains, flowing from their hearts and washing away the fatigue in their hearts.
The breeze blowing from the lake gently stirs the willow groves, making a rustling sound, the water crashing against the pebbles on the shore, and the birds singing in the forest, all kinds of sounds intermingle and become background music.
Zeng Ying and Guo Hailan He had listened to this kind of original music, and suddenly felt that they had walked into a quiet forest and listened to the sounds of nature. For a while, it seemed that all the troubles were drifting away with the wind, which lifted Zeng Ying's two daughters.
Liu Rui also seemed to be immersed in the wonderful world of music, shaking his head incessantly, and his melodious voice was like a clanging mountain stream, bringing him back to his carefree childhood.
When he was a child, Liu Rui always followed Zhang Zhenzu, who came home from summer vacation, fishing, climbing trees, rowing, picking wild fruits, digging birds' nests, or putting a nest on a rabbit every day. The fun that rural children can enjoy Liu Rui is not a little less than a little bit later, and when he grew up, Liu Rui learned to blow leaves in Zhang Zhenzu's body.
When Zhang Zhenzu graduated and joined the work, Liu Rui became the leader, followed by his younger brothers and sisters. When he is bored, Liu Rui often blows leaves to his younger brothers and sisters, and the melodious tunes accompany the whole process of Liu Rui's growth, sweet and beautiful.
During the period when he dropped out of school and went home, Liu Rui has been burdened by all kinds of pressure, almost out of breath, where is he in the mood to blow leaves? Even if he gets the Shennong space, Liu Rui's things are one after another, and there is no leisure time at all. Even when I entered the mountain some time ago, I was busy collecting all kinds of creatures from the mountain to enter the space, or I followed Yu Shan to learn all kinds of biological knowledge for them, and the time was arranged slowly.
When he came back from the mountain, he immediately encountered the autumn harvest, as well as the construction of the pig farm, etc., and Liu Rui has been busy enough during this time. However, now that everything is straightened out, Liu Rui's mood has finally relaxed.
It just so happened that Zeng Ying and the others came over today, blowing the breeze on the lake, looking at the fairyland-like lakes and mountains in front of them, Liu Rui found the original feeling again. Liu Rui, who was immersed in the beautiful memories of the past, calmly blew the leaves in his hand, constantly changing the tune, weaving a moving melody.
A long time after the end of the song, Zeng Ying and Guo Hailan woke up from the suffocating feeling and recovered from the simple and comfortable artistic conception of pastoral life depicted in Liu Rui's tune. In the past, she listened to electronic music, synthetic music and other high-tech music, but the first time Zeng Ying heard the blowing leaves, she was deeply fascinated.
"Xiao Rui, how did you do it?" Guo Hailan rushed up with some curiosity, snatched the blade from Liu Rui's hand, and turned over and over to see some clues.
Now this leaf has been blown by Liu Rui for most of the day, and it is already a little dilapidated, and there is even a little bit of Liu Rui's saliva. Guo Hailan watched it for a long time, but she still couldn't see the doorway, she couldn't understand at all, such a leaf could blow such a beautiful and moving music, which really surprised Guo Hailan.
"Practice makes perfect!" Liu Rui looked at Guo Hailan's movements and said with a smile.
Don't look at this leaf blowing looks relaxed and casual, and it is quite chic, Liu Rui suffered a lot in order to learn this skill well.
First of all, blowing leaves requires putting the leaves on your lips for a long time, and over time, your lips will be stained green with chlorophyll, which looks weird and scary. Although the leaves are blown leaves, they choose leaves without poisonous surnames, but the leaves will always have all kinds of bitter and strange tastes, and sometimes Liu Rui eats with mixed tastes. Sometimes, when the leaves are attached to the lips for a long time, they will stick to the flesh and skin, and when they are torn off, they will be bloody.
If you blow the leaves for a long time, sometimes there will be a lack of oxygen to the brain, and it is common for you to have Venus in your eyes. However, there is a benefit, that is, Liu Rui's lung capacity has become much better, and he is the most powerful swimmer every time he competes with his friends.
However, others saw Liu Rui blowing a moving sound, but they couldn't understand the hard work behind it.
Actually, this is often the case in this world. People seem to only see the glamorous side of a successful person, and will not understand the hardships and efforts he has made on the road to success.
"How can this make a sound?" Guo Hailan picked up a leaf from the bluestone slab and tried to blow like Liu Rui, but she didn't have a clue at all.
She blew so much that her saliva was wet with the leaves, and there was still no sound, let alone being able to play a moving tune like Liu Rui.
'Flutter! Seeing Guo Hailan's face flushed, but there was still no sound, Liu Rui couldn't help laughing.
"Xiao Rui, you guy, you dare to laugh at me?!" Turning his head and seeing Liu Rui's teasing face, Guo Hailan said coquettishly: "Why don't you hurry up and teach me how to blow?" “。
"I can't help this!" Liu Rui spread his hands helplessly and said: "This blowing leaf is here for us, only young men can blow it, and all women are on the side!" ”
For as long as he can remember, Liu Rui has found that only young men blow leaves in the village, and once they get married, they will no longer blow leaves. As for women and the elderly, they are even less likely to participate in such activities. Legend has it that the blowing leaves were used by young men in ancient times when they courted girls, and it is a bit different from the folk songs that are widely spread in the Aoyama area. Anyway, no matter what kind of origin it is, Liu Rui has never seen a woman blowing leaves, so he refused to teach Guo Hailan.
This is not Liu Rui's feudal backwardness, but just maintaining respect in the face of tradition.
"Cut!" Seeing Liu Rui's rejection of herself, Guo Hailan was really a little depressed.
However, her depression only lasted for a short while, because Liu Rui's actions began to attract her attention again.
Liu Rui took off his shoes, hugged the willow trunk, and climbed the tree on the ground, as if he was looking for something?
Guo Hailan and Zeng Ying's eyes were wide, looking at what Liu Rui was doing?
Liu Rui chose a willow branch on the tree for a long time, and finally selected a willow branch, stretched out his hand to break it, and then slipped down like an ape. After going down to the ground, in the puzzled eyes of the second daughter, Liu Rui began to process the wicker he got.
The wicker is a little thinner than Liu Rui's little finger, and the willow leaves grow on it, and there are no side branches, so Liu Rui quickly plucked the leaves on it carefully. After taking out a knife to cut off the top part, Liu Rui cut the end of the end with a knife again, revealing a pale white wicker stick. Liu Rui grabbed the wicker stick with his right hand, covered the willow bark with his left hand, and turned it carefully, and slowly, a slender white wicker stick was pulled out.
"Rui, what are you doing?" Looking at Liu Rui's preoccupied appearance, even Zeng Ying couldn't hold back her curiosity.
"Be a willow whistle!" Liu Rui didn't raise his head, and the work on his hands didn't stop.
Pumping wicker sticks is the key to making willow whistles, once there is a little bit of damage, this wicker is considered scrapped, can not be made willow whistles. Therefore, Liu Rui had to turn the wicker so that he could completely separate it from the bark before he could pull it out. When he was a child, Liu Rui didn't have much strength, and every time he made willow whistles, he was done by those older playmates and picked up ready-made ones by himself.
After the thin wicker was pulled out, Liu Rui began to use a knife to cut the willow bark into small pieces of different lengths, and then pressed a section slightly to peel off the outer bark of the willow tree.
Soon, willow whistles of different lengths and thicknesses were made, Liu Rui picked one up and put it in his mouth and blew it, and the sound of 'woo' began to float. I haven't done willow whistle for several years, but Liu Rui is a little proud, because the craftsmanship has not been left behind.
Because the diameter and length of the willow whistle are different, the air column inside is naturally different, and the frequency of vibration is also different, and it will make different sounds. In the past, when he was a child, Liu Rui liked to make a lot of willow whistles, put them in his mouth, and blew them vigorously, making a deafening sound, which was very fun.
Seeing Liu Rui casually picking a wicker on the tree, after simply fiddling, it became a device that could make a sound in three or two clicks, which surprised Zeng Ying and the others. They watched Liu Rui keep trying the sound, their eyes widened, their mouths opened slightly, and they looked surprised.
Perhaps, when other men see two mature beauties with such half-demented expressions, I'm afraid their saliva will flow down immediately, right?
It's just that now, there is only one little boy here who is engrossed in the willow whistle and is still a little puzzled. Zeng Ying and Guo Hailan's appearance does not seem to be as attractive to Liu Rui as the willow whistle in their hands.
"Xiao Rui, can we blow this?" Seeing that Liu Rui seemed to have finished the audition, Guo Hailan asked a little cautiously, and the goddess heard the words of rejection from Liu Rui's mouth again.
For Guo Hailan, today she felt a different style from the last time in Liu Rui, which made her know more about this small mountain village. Originally, she and Zeng Ying came to inquire about the specific situation of Liang Village today, and after the establishment of the nature reserve in the future, what is the positioning of this place?
However, following Liu Rui to the lake to fish, he not only enjoyed the small mirror lake that was different from the last sunset, but also appreciated the rural wilderness shown by Liu Rui. This discovery gave Guo Hailan more confidence in the development of Xiaojing Lake's tourism resources, and also strengthened the idea of investment.
Guo Hailan, who has lived in the city since she was a child, knows very well what people in the city need, so she came to Liangcun twice, and each time she can have a new experience and new feelings.
"That's no problem, whatever you want!" Liu Rui stretched out his hand and handed the willow whistle in his hand to Guo Hailan.
Unlike leaf blowing, the willow whistle has no technical content, and anyone can blow it, as long as his lung capacity is sufficient.
Soon, Guo Hailan and Zeng Ying, who were quite novel, couldn't take care of the image of a lady, but they blew it violently!
'Woo', 'woo', sounds of different lengths and heights began to accompany the wind and echo in the willow forest!
