Chapter 107: A Chance to Dream

"It's a long-time past."

Gu Cancan's hands and ten fingers were crossed together, his body leaned forward slightly, and he listened carefully.

Hu Xiwen also sat down next to her grandfather curiously, she knew that her grandfather had a senior brother, but he had lost contact with him very early. Grandpa had never told them about his brother, and today was the first time I heard him talk about the past.

Hu Min's eyes narrowed slightly, looked at the scenery outside the window, and said quietly: "That year, the three of us worshiped Master Lin Shicheng as a teacher and learned pipa. It was at that time that the three of us knew and became familiar with each other, and with the time of learning art, the relationship became deeper and deeper, and we were like brothers. ”

Speaking of this, Hu Min had a warm smile on his face, and his thoughts fell into memories: "At that time, Senior Brother was the oldest, and he took great care of me and the third child. I was an only child, and I felt that I had a big brother at that time, and I was very happy in my heart. ”

"We have three brothers, the third one with the best qualifications and understanding, but the most diligent is the eldest brother. The eldest brother's family used to be wealthy, but gradually lost during the war. He studied and practiced very hard, just so that he could have a skill in the future to settle down. ”

Gu Cancan and Hu Xiwen listened quietly.

Hu Min sighed a few words, and then said: "Master Lin is famous, he is a famous pipa master, and the three of us who studied with Master Lin have gradually become famous. At that time, a wealthy businessman in the capital came to ask Lin Shi to teach his daughter Pipa, but Lin Shi was conservative and refused at that time. The rich merchant did not give up, and looked for me and my three brothers. The elder brother's family was poor at this time, and under the promise of a rich businessman, he agreed to be a teacher for the daughter of a rich businessman. ”

After being silent for a while, Hu Min sighed and continued: "Who would have thought that Senior Brother would actually fall in love with the daughter of a rich merchant. ”

Gu Cancan listened to Hu Min's words carefully, his big eyes blinked, thinking that it was like the plot in a movie, and then he should beat the mandarin ducks, right?

Sure enough, she listened to Hu Min continue: "When the rich merchant found out, he was naturally furious, and found someone to beat the senior brother fiercely, cutting off the contact between the two. The elder brother has been decadent for a long time. ”

Hu Xiwen couldn't help but interject: "Grandpa, at that time, your senior brother, well, he just gave up?" ”

"What do you think?" Hu Min glanced at his granddaughter, "Do you think it's so open now, you can do anything if you want to chase girls, at that time, Xinhuaxia was established less than ten years ago, and people's concepts have not changed much, for unmarried girls, the words of parents are heaven." ”

Gu Cancan asked softly, "Could it be that Grandpa Zhang left the capital because of the blow caused by this incident?" ”

"Of course not." Hu Min looked at his granddaughter and Gu Cancan, who were curious, and said with a very emotional expression on his face: "After a long time, the senior brother has also walked out of this relationship. Then, as you may have heard, the decade-long catastrophe began. ”

"It was an unbearable time, and we, including Master Lin, suffered a lot. However, because of the poor family background, the senior brother did not have much influence at that time, and during that time, we were all taken care of and protected by the senior brother sincerely. Hu Min recalled the past and couldn't help but shake his head gently, "At that time, people were crazy, but fortunately, the literary and artistic circles were not too affected. ”

When Hu Min said this, he looked at Gu Cancan, and saw that Gu Cancan's face was relatively calm, thinking that she didn't understand what happened during that time, but she didn't want to talk about it in detail, and said in a deep voice: "At that chaotic time, Senior Brother met the daughter of a wealthy merchant again. ”

Sure enough, it was almost as he expected, Gu Cancan sighed in his heart.

"The rich businessman has been ruined." Hu Min sighed and said: "That girl was not yet eighteen years old at the time, and she had experienced great changes in her family and was on the verge of collapse. The appearance of the elder brother at that time can be said to have changed the fate of the girl and her own fate. ”

"The senior brother resolutely married the girl despite everyone's opposition, and it may be the attitude of the senior brother that made the girl feel that there was still a trace of warmth in her life, and she agreed to the marriage proposal of the senior brother."

"This girl has become my sister-in-law with the third child. She may also want to live a good life with her senior brother, but the general environment in China at that time was really, alas," Hu Min couldn't help but shake his head and sigh when he said this, and said slowly: "My sister-in-law became pregnant soon, but the fanaticism was no longer controllable, and my senior brother's pauper status was no longer enough to protect my family and us, and my sister-in-law also suffered a lot of sins during pregnancy, but in the end, our little nephew was born smoothly." ”

Speaking of which, Hu Min may have recalled the surprise of seeing the little nephew back then, and he couldn't help but have a smile on his face, but soon the smile on his face disappeared, with a sad look in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "My sister-in-law died less than half a year after giving birth to the child, and the senior brother was very sad, but what is even more unacceptable is that there was a severe shortage of food that year, and the parents of the senior brother also passed away one after another!" Also, my poor nephew didn't survive that winter. ”

When Hu Min said this, his voice choked and he couldn't speak.

Gu Cancan's eyes widened, she felt that Grandpa Zhang's fate would be bad, but she didn't expect it to be so miserable, she only felt a chill on her body, and couldn't help but hold her arms with both hands. The unspeakable sadness in my heart, Grandpa Zhang's life, is really bitter.

After a while, Hu Min's mood calmed down, and he said sadly: "Senior brother has lost all his close relatives in a year, and his spirit has been greatly stimulated, and he has become stupid. The third brother and I worked hard to take care of him, and after more than half a year, we finally got through the darkest years, the days became a little better, and the elder brother gradually recovered, and there was no obstacle to communicating with others. But one day, he suddenly disappeared with the lute. We searched all over the capital, and even the surrounding areas, but since then, we have never seen him, my senior brother, Zhang Yunchuan. ”

What happened to Grandpa Zhang later, how he came to Qingjiang seven hundred miles away from the capital, and on what basis he settled here, there is no way to know. Gu Cancan seemed to see a lonely person walking lonely on a dirt road in the countryside with a pipa, and slowly walked towards the unknown distance in the face of the sunset.

Lowering his head slightly, Gu Cancan tried hard not to cry himself, but the tears still couldn't stop flowing, drop by drop, falling on his thighs, gradually spreading on the light blue denim cropped pants, and slowly turning into irregularly shaped wet marks.

Women are sensual, and Hu Xiwen's eyes are also full of splashes, and he sighs for Grandpa Zhang's ill-fated fate.

Hu Min took out his handkerchief, wiped his eyes gently, and after a while, he said softly to Gu Cancan: "Child, don't be sad, this may be fate." The voice was dry after tears.

Hu Xiwen took out a tissue and sent it to Gu Cancan.

Gu Cancan took the tissue, wiped the tears on his face, and after a while, he slowly stopped his tears, and thanked Hu Xiwen who was standing in front of him with a grateful smile.

The room fell silent again, and the three of them had their own emotions stirring in their hearts, but their emotions were different.

Hu Min once again recalled the past, recalled the fate of the elder brother, and his heart had hardened over the years, but he kept feeling that he was making people.

Hu Xiwen's heart moved, from Hu Min's simple language, a complete story outline vaguely appeared in her mind, as the instinct of a director who is about to graduate, a story gradually took shape in her mind.

Gu Cancan's relationship with Zhang Yunchuan is actually not so deep, but he has been a human being for two lives, and now he attaches more importance to family affection in his heart, and the image of the old man who is her pipa teacher gradually became clear in her heart, and the details that she had not paid attention to in the past recalled the impression when she was still a man, or a little boy. I have the impression that Zhang Yunchuan is very good to himself, probably because he has a longing for his son pinned on him.

Life is like a one-way road, Zhang Yunchuan is a gorgeous scenery on Gu Cancan's life road, although Gu Cancan didn't realize it at that time.

Hu Min slowly talked about the ins and outs of the future, and the depression and obsession in his heart also dissipated a lot, his senior brother has been dead for six or seven years, and he will never see his senior brother again in his lifetime, but he found the last closed disciple in his life, and saw with his own eyes the only relic of his senior brother, the once familiar pipa, the regret in Hu Min's heart was also made up for the previous part, at this moment, looking at Gu Cancan, who had just revealed his feelings, his heart was both relieved and happy, and the more he looked at Gu Cancan, the more pleasing it was.

Gu Cancan raised his head to the kind and kind gaze that was looking directly at him, and smiled politely and kindly at Hu Min. From Hu Min's narration, she could feel that the old man in front of her really respected and missed his senior brother and her teacher Zhang Yunchuan.

The little girl in front of her was a little pale, and her eyes revealed a sadness, she was grieving for the senior brother, the senior brother had been a child all his life, and finally accepted a disciple, and even passed on the pipa that had accompanied him all his life to her, indicating that the senior brother was really satisfied with this disciple, otherwise he would have brought the pipa into the ground.

The elder brother can be regarded as a successor.

Thinking of this, Hu Min's face became more and more kind, and he smiled and said to Gu Cancan, "Child, I remember that your name is Gu Cancan, right?" ”

"Yes, if you don't mind, just call me Cancan." Gu Cancan said gently.

Hu Min smiled kindly at Gu Cancan and said, "Then I'll call you Cancan." Cancan, just to introduce, I am your second uncle Hu Min. ”

Then he pointed to Hu Xiwen next to him and said, "This is my granddaughter Hu Xiwen, who is now studying at the Huaxia Drama Academy." ”

Gu Cancan's eyes lit up, Hu Xiwen is from Chinese opera?

"Hello, I listened to your songs, they were all great, I liked it very much. I have a younger brother who likes you very much and loves your songs. Hu Xiwen said with a smile.

"Hello." Gu Cancan also nodded slightly, for the younger brother in Hu Xiwen's mouth, it was just a flash in her heart, and she didn't take it to heart at all.

At this time, Hu Min said slowly: "Cancan, take the liberty of asking, is the tomb of your teacher and my senior brother in your village?" ”

Gu Cancan's expression was in a trance, Zhang Yunchuan settled in their village from other places, and was buried in the public field of the village at that time. In the following year, Qingjiang was divided into a city, the urban area expanded, and their village also belonged to the city and became an urban village. Most of the houses in the village are still preserved, like Gu Cancan's house, there is also a big yard. However, all the fields have already been developed into public facilities and real estate in the city, and the graves in the fields have long been leveled.

As for the bones in the tomb, they were all cremated and then moved into a specially set up cemetery in the village.

Zhang Yunchuan's is also included, and there is a small monument in the cemetery, which is Zhang Yunchuan's, and Gu Wei helped set it up at that time.

Gu Cancan slowly told Hu Min about the situation, and Hu Min was also embarrassed for a long time after hearing it.

However, the Si people have passed away, after all, after so many years, a few people chatted a few words, and the sad atmosphere in the room slowly faded.

Hu Min liked the calm and atmospheric Gu Cancan more and more, and couldn't help but say: "Cancan, I saw you here, uh, super girl, super girl, right?" You're still playing the pipa in this competition, do you really like it? Let me hear your level. ”

Gu Cancan couldn't bear to refuse, nodded and agreed, did a good job of finger protection, gently picked up the pipa, and played a song "Spring River Flower Moonlight Night" in front of Hu Min.

Hu Min nodded while listening, looked at Gu Cancan's fingering seriously, and after Gu Cancan's playing, he nodded with a smile and said: "Very good, very good, the basic skills are very solid, look at the fingering is the true inheritance of the senior brother, but there are still some problems in some places." Cancan, you like pipa very much, do you think about becoming a professional performer in the future? ”

Without waiting for Gu Cancan to answer, he said with a smile on his face: "As for me, I have average talent, and later I did administrative work at the Beijing Conservatory of Music, and technically I can't teach you anything." But the third brother, your third uncle is very powerful, Liu Dehai should know, right? ”

Gu Cancan nodded, with a slight hint of excitement in his tone: "Of course I know, Master Liu Dehai is my idol!" ”

"Hahahaha," Hu Min chuckled happily and said to Gu Cancan: "The third is Liu Dehai, your third uncle!" Cancan, if you want to continue to study pipa skills, let the third child teach you, and you can be regarded as an apprentice on behalf of the senior brother. ”

At this moment, Gu Cancan's heart was really moved.

Once, when she was a young boy before she was reborn, she once made a list of dreams, and she was ranked third with Liu Dehai as her teacher.

The first one is to be a superhero and single-handedly bring peace to the world.

The second one traveled through the thousands of mountains and rivers of the earth and fully appreciated the style of this planet.

Becoming a pipa player under Liu Dehai is the third, which is enough to show the status of the master in his heart at that time.

Now that the opportunity to make his dream come true is in front of Gu Cancan, how should he choose?
