The remnant sun is like blood, staining half of the sky red.

The musician smiled at the corners of his mouth, thinking about the first time he met the girl.

He is proficient in rhythm and knows the instrument. He is also a favorite collector of musical instruments, which he considers to be treasures.

On that day, he put on a guzheng with extremely elaborate workmanship.

It is not placed in the elaborate cabinet lattice, like those instruments, but is placed randomly where the instruments are laid in the door.

As soon as Gao walked in, it caught his eye for the first time.

He asked, "This guzheng is very well made, the strings and body are of the finest materials, how can it be placed here?" ”

"You're so strange, you don't ask about the material or the price, what are you asking for?" It was a girl dressed in black.

Her hair was tied in a bun casually, and she looked at people and things, all of them looked contemptuous, and she seemed to be extremely cold and arrogant.

"There are countless pianos in the next place, and this material does not need to be asked, it is the best rosewood and the green mane of the fierce horse." As soon as he finished speaking, a hint of joy appeared on the girl's face. He noticed the change in her expression, and said lightly: "Then girl, how much does this piano cost?" ”

"Sir, I'm quite knowledgeable, and you're exactly right about the material. This piano is never sold, only looking for gifts from destined people. She continued: "This piano is a relic left by my mother, and I don't know music theory, so it's a pity to keep it. And they don't want to sell it to people who don't understand it, and defile it. If you get a peerless pianist, you will not give him a penny. She said and looked at Gao Yuanli.

"Sir is a person who knows the piano, can you play a song?"

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate." Gao gradually left the skillful preparations, sat by the piano, and played a song "Mountains and Flowing Water".

Hearing the sound of the piano is like being in the mountains, just listening to it, you will have the feeling of being there. The girl couldn't help but step forward softly, and saw that the violinist was so focused that he seemed to be the only one in the world, and his slender ten fingers flew dexterously, and the music of fairy music continued to gush out.

After the song, the girl was full of praise.

"I grew up in this instrument shop, and I haven't heard such a beautiful sound in more than ten years. Dare to ask Mr. Gao's name? ”

"Under the name of Gao gradually leaving, I don't know the girl's name?"

"I... My name is Ke. You're a well-known musician, high and faded? The girl seemed incredulous and pleasantly surprised.

The girl laughed, but she was ashamed. He stood up and straightened his shirt and smiled at her.

She smiled back.

"Then this piano will be given to Mr."

Gao gradually left the daily running to the musical instrument shop, and began to mingle with Ah Ke every day.

He helped her tune her instrument and played for her. She would sing a few words once in a while. The two sang and harmonized, but they had a very tacit understanding.

One day, Gao Yanli came to the musical instrument shop as usual, but saw a group of big men surrounding Ah Ke in the house, led by a bearded man.

Ah Ke seemed to be a little scared, and shrank unconsciously.

Gao gradually stepped forward. Said loudly: "What is the reason for a group of men bullying a weak woman in broad daylight? ”

The men glanced at Ah Ke and asked, "Who are you?" What do you care? ”

Gao Yuanli still wanted to argue, but Ah Ke said: "I will pay off the debt, please don't come to make trouble again." ”

The big men are really gone.

Gao Yuanli was a little strange: "They left like this?" ”

"Otherwise, you don't have to be happy if the chickens and dogs here are restless?" The girl looked a little displeased.

"Of course not." He hurriedly said.

"Ke." He called her.

"No matter what happens, I'll protect you."

She sneered.

"You can't help it, how can you protect me?" She showed no mercy.

"You look good when you laugh." He couldn't help but cry.

Although the two can only be called bosom friends in music, Gao gradually separated from the girl in black, and they already have a deep love.

Ah Ke is not. She was always pale and her smile was fleeting. Gao gradually left and knew that she didn't love him.

But so what, one of his hearts, from the time he saw her, had sunk into the sea.

"Ah Ke, why are you always dressed in black, if you are wearing the bright dresses of those girls, you must be peerless and gorgeous." He said to her.

She just listened to him and smiled faintly.

"But I don't like it." She paused and said the second half of the sentence: "It's like, I don't like you." ”

The summer sun shone brightly on her beautiful but indifferent face.

He was still a little disappointed, even though he knew about it for a long time.

He still comes every day, rain or shine.

Eventually, she seemed to get bored.

"Don't come here again, Gao is leaving." When she said this, her eyes looked at the green potted plants on the windowsill and did not look at him.

He looked at her stunned, a little overwhelmed. He loved her so much that she hated him.

But what can he do, even if he loves her, he can't be without dignity.

He looked at her: "Even so, it's fine." What he didn't say in the second half of the sentence was that I didn't have to suffer every day.

He turned and walked out, only to see that all the stars seemed to have lost their brilliance.

I thought that my fate with her was over, and the rest of my life had nothing to do with each other, but I didn't want to see her again.

But this goodbye, she was covered in bruises and dying.

When he saw her like this, his internal organs were painful and twisted together.

"Ke, what's wrong with you?" He picked her up and asked, as she was lying on the ground covered in wounds.

"You leave me alone." She was so weak that she closed her eyes before she could finish her sentence.

He took her to the infirmary, where a pair of distant eyes stared at them, smiling treacherously successfully.

"Boss, that stupid violinist took Ah Ke away, oops, this makes him feel distressed." The man in black who was staring at them came back to report the news.

The bearded man laughed: "This trick really works." Suddenly, he put away his smile and frowned two thick eyebrows: "You go and keep an eye on Ah Ke, this woman is afraid that she is going to harm our big things." ”

The man in black followed the instructions and lurked into the courtyard where Gao gradually left the house. While he was out, he went into the house and handed a note to Ke.

She sighed heavily. After all, there is still no escape.

"Gao fades away." She called his name.

"I'm here." His answer was so warm that she was a little stunned for a moment.

"Actually, I'm a killer." She said softly. Without waiting for him to respond, she confided everything.

"I was originally from the Jing clan, and my name was Jing Ke. My purpose is to get close to you, seduce you, and make you willingly enter the Qin Palace with me. That faint gentleman loves musical instruments, and he is heavy-voiced. With your help and my companionship, it would have been much easier to assassinate him. After she finished speaking in one breath, she lowered her head the whole time, not daring to look at him.

"I see. You were all in the same group that day, but you just happened to be bumped into by me, right? ”

She nodded.

He asked, "Then how did you get this injury?" ”

"I wanted to get rid of you and keep you away from me. It's too dangerous to enter the palace, and I don't want to bother you. But they are outnumbered, and I am no match for them, and they have wounded me and thrown me at your door, and they know that you will come out to save me. And she said, "I am the one who has harmed you." But I can't do anything that seduces you and deceives you. ”

He looked at her, and his heart began to ache again. didn't hurt herself for her, but because such a beautiful girl had to grow up with hatred and bullying from everyone.

"Ke, I'm willing. I am willing to enter the palace with you. He said lightly, as if it was just a time to fly a kite with her in the valley.

"But, I might die." She looked at him.

"So whatever." He lowered his head and stroked the hair on her forehead, "I know, you care about me. You want to save me from this, you want to protect me. He was so happy because the girl he loved also cared about him.

What more could you want? This little bit of care is enough for him to go to the soup.

She didn't dismiss him, she just said, "But it's not worth it." ”

"It's worth it." The purple-clad young musician said it as firmly, as if it were his own business.

"Ke, I really love you." These were the last words he said to her before entering the palace.

She told him that if they could get their hands on him and get out, she would marry him, and the years would be quiet from then on.

The young man's starry eyes smiled crookedly, as if the entire starry sky was sprinkled in his eyes.

However, fate refused to favor him. They failed.

The musician watched the dagger on the chest of his beloved girl flow blood, and he was not immune.

Finally, the girl told him that she had received a note that day. If she refuses to act, the bearded men will kill Gao Yuanli. If she had acted, she might have been lucky enough to die together.

She has always loved him.

It's just that she can't show his love, and for his safety, she can only be cold and alienated.

"You.. It's not that I'm laughing.. Is it good-looking. Those were her last words.

The musician was also confused, and at last he smiled, because he finally knew that she loved him.

"My lord, the two thieves are dead. Strange, how is it that both of them are smiling? ”

There was a setting sun, shining on their faces.
