"Yes! After all, she was born in October when your eldest mother was pregnant, and as a parent, how can she not worry about his child? The old village chief took a few puffs of his cigarette and accidentally choked on the last one.

"Village Chief, I think she will definitely come back, because this is her home!"

Looking at the old village chief, Lin Yuhan didn't know what to say to comfort him, he suddenly remembered the night he first came to Pigeon Cave Village, when the old village chief asked him to live in his daughter Liang Qianqian's room, his eyes were gloomy; There is also the old village chief who always likes to look at the small road at the entrance of the village, and now he finally figured it out, it is because he misses his daughter, and hopes that one day he can see his daughter return to the place where she was born and raised on the small road at the entrance of the village.

"I hope as you say, let's not talk about her for now, do you know why I mentioned my daughter?"

"I know, you're missing her!"

"That's just one reason, and that's what I'm going to focus on with you." The old village chief changed his words and asked seriously:

"How long have you been in Pigeon Cave Village?"

"Calculate the time, it's been almost four months! What does this do, you ask? ”

"Haven't you ever thought about home? I mean a loved one back home. ”

"Yes, yes! But fortunately, I didn't see each other for a semester when I was studying, which is normal. ”

"Alas! I don't know why you came to this poor place before, but when you first came, you were full of books, and I guessed that you must still be a student, and there must be many relatives in your family, and you have been here for so long, except that you have a wonderful brother, I have never seen you mention anyone else. For example, your parents have rarely been in contact with them, and my wife and I can't always pretend to be irrelevant, for fear of delaying your studies, and for fear that your family will worry about that unfilial daughter like me and your aunt! ”

"Village chief, don't worry, my family is very good now, they all know that I am teaching here, and they are all at ease, so you don't have to worry."

"If you don't mind, tell me about your family situation and why you ended up in this poor ravine!"

"Of course, there's nothing bad to say, it's just that I had a little conflict with my brother, so I learned from others to run away from home!" Lin Yuhan said simply to the old village chief.

"It's as simple as that?" The old village chief asked.

"Of course! Don't you believe it? But my brother gave me an ultimatum that I would only be allowed to come out for one year, and if I didn't come home after a year, he would come and arrest me himself. ”

"Of course I do, but I still don't believe it, it's all the reason, if I guess right, old man, there must be other reasons! For example, if you occasionally write a letter at night, I think the person who receives the letter must be someone you value very much, a girl, right? The old village chief said tentatively.

"Village chief, this--" Lin Yuhan was broken by the old village chief's words, and he couldn't help but feel a little weak, and said in a nutshell:

"I think it's a bit condescending for you to be the village chief, you should change your career to become a detective."

"Don't be poor, don't be embarrassed, my old man was also young, this is not a big deal." The old village chief glared at Lin Yuhan.

"How do you know?"

"That picture under your pillow says it all!"

"Wow! You violated my right to privacy. Lin Yuhan reluctantly reasoned with the village chief.

"It's not intentional, it was your aunt who accidentally saw it when she helped you wash the sheets, we took the photo and looked at it for a long time, the girl in the photo is very beautiful, we think it is a good match for you, but you are willing to leave such a good girl, run to such a far poor ravine, there must be some misunderstanding in the middle, so I discussed with your aunt, and I have to ask clearly after the year to rest assured."

"Village chief, in fact, there is no misunderstanding between me and her, it's just that the person she likes is not me, so I'm just a little sad." Lin Yuhan threw the cigarette butt under his feet, and then stepped on the cigarette butt with his foot.

"So you don't want to face it, choose the choice to escape?"

Lin Yuhan didn't squeak, obviously the old village chief's words touched the wound in his heart.

"Although the old man's book is not as high as yours, but he has survived all his life, although he doesn't understand the love and love between you young people, but he understands a truth, people's lives are short for decades, just like me, yesterday was still an energetic young man, and he was already an old man in his prime, and it seems that there are still many things that have not had time to do to get old, so what about feelings! It's just a part of life, if you like her, you should pursue her, care for her, think about her everywhere, and like everything she likes. ”

"Village chief, did you ever have a girl you liked when you were young?" Lin Yuhan was shocked by the words of the old village chief, and he found that the old village chief in front of him, who usually doesn't like to talk, was very emotional today.

"Of course, but in that era, I didn't advocate the freedom of love, and I could only put my liking silently in my heart, but unlike now, you can rest assured and bold to pursue the girl you like." The old village chief suddenly laughed.

"Village chief, I'll calm down and think carefully about staying for a while." Lin Yuhan looked at the old village chief sincerely and said, although the old village chief didn't say a lot of reasons to let him go back to school, he understood everything he had to say.

"Oh well! I'll go around the village first, and you can go back and rest by yourself!" The old village chief patted the dust on his trousers and walked away with his still vigorous steps.

After the old village chief walked away, Lin Yuhan suddenly got up, put his hands to his mouth, and shouted at the endless dust:

"Storage --、 storage condensation—"

But his voice was quickly drowned out in the desert.

"Will you look down on me for my avoidance?" Lin Yuhan lay on the ground in frustration and muttered:

"Would you like me to come back to you?"

Jiangcheng Wuyang

As usual, after class, Chu Ning went to the cafeteria for a simple dinner, and then hid in the piano room to practice.

She has been practising music since she passed the Grade 10 exam, and this year she will prepare for the performance exam, but after a long period of practice, she is not satisfied with her results, so she becomes very anxious.

'How do you break through?' She drew a note irritably, then closed the piano cover in frustration, and was about to walk out of the piano room when she ran into the oncoming teacher Jiang Xu.

"Chu Ning--" Jiang Xu looked in a hurry.

"Teacher Jiang, are you looking for me?" Chu Ning asked.

"So you're still in the piano room, but why don't you keep practicing?" Jiang Xu asked as he walked.

"Mr. Jiang, I feel that I can still keep up with the theoretical knowledge this semester, but I am very unconfident in the performance level examination." Chu Ning said to Jiang Xu that he was insufficient.

"Do you find it hard to break through?"

"So Mr. Jiang, you also found out?" Chu Ning looked at Jiang Xudao in surprise, and the latter gave her a knowing and encouraging smile.

"Actually, at the beginning of this semester, the teacher noticed this problem, so he has been helping you find the reason, and I want to find you a time to talk to you." Jiang Xu smiled confidently.

"It turns out that Mr. Jiang has already found out, and I am worried about how to tell you?" Chu Ning suddenly smiled heartily, it turned out that Teacher Jiang seemed to be busy, but he knew the state of every student in the class.

"The teacher asks you a question, and you have to answer me truthfully." Jiang Xu stopped and asked.

"Teacher Jiang, if you have any questions, just ask!"

"I saw your shortcomings, but I couldn't find the crux of the problem, so I came here to talk to you today, by the way, I want to hear you talk about how you feel when you practice playing music now and when you practiced exam music before." Jiang Xu said.

"Feelings? I think --, I think that when I practiced the examination music in the past, because it was a fixed selection, there were explanations and annotations, which could better grasp the essence of the performance; But I feel that in order to play a good piece of music, I have to put more energy and emotion into it, sometimes I listen to a piece several times, and the score has been memorized, but every time I play it, it is difficult to play the level I want. ”

"Everyone who is engaged in music art has a bottleneck on their music path, and I have always felt that your music theory foundation, listening, skills, and understanding have a certain level. For your current mastery, you have come to the forefront of guzheng art, and it is possible that it is precisely because of this that your mentality involuntarily slows down. It is also possible that after the previous 10 exams, the heart is already in a period of exhaustion, and when the heart is tired, it will subconsciously produce irritability and resistance. ”

"Yes, obviously, so I wanted to leave the piano room today before the practice time was over."

"Chu Ning, the teacher will give you a platform!"

"Platform?" Chu Ning looked at Jiang Xu suspiciously.

"Yes, a high-level platform, using it as an opportunity, will be a breakthrough that can spur you to progress."

"But Mr. Jiang, where is such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?"

"That's why I'm looking for you." Jiang Xu then said what he thought.

"That's right, in the middle of next month, my mentor during my study in Italy will come to China, his name is Wei Yecheng, he is Italian-Chinese, and now he is a famous Italian music master, his musical attainments have a deep influence on the whole Western countries, by the way, he is particularly fond of Chinese folk instruments, and has had a very in-depth study of Chinese classical music."

"Then is there something very important for this Master Wei to come to China this time?" Chu Ning asked curiously.

"No, he behaves eccentricly and unobtrusively, and probably all masters of art are like that! He has fallen in love with tourism again in recent years, and this time he came to China mainly to visit all the famous mountains in China, and he will stay in Jiangcheng for two days, so I would like to take this opportunity to recommend you to him and let him give you some guidance, which will be of great help to you in music. ”
