Lando was led by Dusty into an elegantly decorated piano shop.

"Jingle Bell ......."

Pushing open the vermilion wooden door, the wind chimes at the door emit a crisp and pleasant bell sound, giving people a warm and elegant and relaxed and cheerful afternoon leisurely feeling.

The store is also a kind of classical wooden wall, red paint, without too much decoration, very clean, but the simple layout reflects the owner's love for the store everywhere, giving people a sense of comfort like home.

The space in the store is small, but cellos, violins, and pianos ....... There are a lot of pieces on display, and each of the instruments on display is as bright as new, the smooth surface is not stained with a trace of dust, and it can even be used as a mirror to reflect the people in the store, and it can be seen that the owner here has the intention of cleaning the piano here every day.

Hearing the sound of wind chimes at the door, an old gentleman with gray hair and beard, but neatly dressed and wearing a single-rimmed glasses, walked out of a room in the piano shop on crutches, saw Dusty and Landot, and smiled kindly: "It's Dusty, have you brought new friends to play?" ”

Dusty nodded, shook his head like a rattle, and said, "No, Grandpa Cole, Landor is a traveling musician, she wants to collect music from all over the world, can you show her your sheet music?" ”

"Excuse me, can you show me the sheet music? One time is fine. Lan Duo also naturally put one hand on the piano and the other hand on his heart, and asked politely and expectantly.

Seeing the expectant looks of the two little girls, Old Cole shook his head with a smile.

Lan Duo's ears quietly fell, his eyes darkened slightly, and he said in disappointment: "Can't you?" ”

Dusty was anxious when she saw Lando's hopeful heart disappointed, but she didn't know what to say.

But old Cole changed his words and said, "It's not that I won't show you, it's just that to you it's a sheet of music that can be seen everywhere." It's precious to me, but to others, it's just an ordinary ode to joy. I can only say that it contains the memories of me and my wife, so it's different, I'll play it for you to understand. ”

When Landor heard that things had taken a turn for the better, he immediately came back to his senses, and watched as Cole Sr. sat down in front of the piano in the center of the shop with a more expectant mood than before.

"Crunch~"

The old man slowly opened the wooden cover on the keys, and his cracked fingers gently stroked the keys, as if he was nostalgic, and as if he was remembering, he didn't play for a long time, but felt the past scenes from the keys, and she smiled again and again.

A long time ago, he was a sword maniac, crazy about swords, he only liked to practice swords every day, he practiced a layer of cocoons on his knuckles, he liked to challenge after practice, every time he came back, whether he won or lost, he hurt himself, he felt that this was the life he wanted, and this would be his life for the rest of his life, and he enjoyed the feeling of getting stronger in battle.

This life lasted for a long time, until one day, he saw her.......

On that day, he was fascinated by the beautiful sound of the piano flowing from the high wall, and climbed up from a large tree by the wall to see who played such a beautiful sound.

Standing on the branch, holding on to the trunk, he saw the woman playing the piano in the courtyard, the black hair of the woman in the kimono fluttering gently, her eyes closed, with a happy sweet smile on her face, slender fingers along the keys, falling from time to time, not like a person playing the piano, more like a person has been integrated into the song, the keys are attracting her fingers.

There is an indescribable feeling of wonder.

He was immediately attracted by the pure and happy smile on the woman's face, and for a moment he was intoxicated by the beautiful sound of the piano and her angelic smile, and stayed there for a long time when the music stopped, and did not come back to his senses.

"Chirp, tweet."

After the girl finished playing the piano, a little sparrow flapped its wings from the peach tree in the courtyard and flew over, the girl looked at the bird, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and gently stretched out a finger to stop it on the finger.

When she turned her head, she happened to see him peeking at the tree and smiled at him.

When he was discovered, his face immediately turned red, and he hurriedly fell from the tree.

"Bang!"

"Chirp!"

The bird snatched away from the girl's hand, and she came out of the house worriedly, fearing that the boy had fallen and injured himself, but as soon as he saw the girl's appearance, he fled without daring to look at it.

This is the first time he has escaped, every time he goes to challenge others, no matter what kind of beating he is, he will not run, he dares to face any danger, even death, he is not afraid, but he does not dare to face her.

So he secretly climbed up the tree every day, looked at the girl from afar, and occasionally was found by the housekeeper and the housekeeper in the house, and chased him away for a long time, but he still slipped quietly every day without repentance, and he did not understand why it was when he was still young, but he was very satisfied to see her and hear her piano.

He didn't know if the girl had found him, but now that he thought about it, he just didn't pierce him.

In this way, he has one more cultivation in his daily life...... That's right, it's cultivation, ahem.

He was satisfied, until one day he heard the maiden crying, and he could not hold back, but jumped into the courtyard wall and asked her why she was crying. She spread out her palm, and inside was a dead little sparrow, but he never cried, so he didn't know how to comfort people, so he could only be by her side.

Later, he and the maiden set up a grave for the little sparrow, and he often went to listen to the maiden's confiding.

Her house rules are very strict, rarely go out, and have no friends, every day can only be accompanied by small animals and the piano, although he is not good at chatting, and he can't say a word for a long time, but the girl seems to be very happy to chat with him, and he is very happy to see her happy.

But the good times were short-lived, and the girl's father wanted to marry her to the son of a nobleman.

The maiden begged the butler to brave the storm to find him, and he did not hesitate to flee with her to the sea.

Although he was hunted down and fled in all directions during that time at sea, he also quickly grew into a great swordsman, blocking, no, killing all the pursuers, at that time he was called [Sword Demon] Ernier on the Great Voyage, and there were few opponents in the way of the sword, and he was considered a strong man, so he returned to her home with the girl and asked her father to fulfill them.

But that night, the nobleman called the navy, and they were surrounded by the navy, and he fought his way out of the siege with the demon sword in his hand, and the grown girl, and escaped by robbing a warship, and that night, they knew that the great voyage could not accommodate them.

They hid in the passenger ship, came to the East China Sea, went incognito, assumed the name Cole, put away the demon knife, completely abandoned the past, opened a small shop, and lived an ordinary life, and the navy, I don't know who helped, it may be the girl's father, claiming that they had been buried in the belly of the fish, and no one knew their past anymore.

Time passed, in the face of time, the girl went before him, he took her favorite piece "Ode to Joy" to find many pianists, but did not have the feeling that she played, when he returned home, he understood, only he could play their feelings for her.

He began to practice the piano, with a more diligent attitude than the sword, and he finally played that emotion, as if she were still by his side, and that was enough.

....... Old Cole, who woke up from his memories, said, "Oh, it's easy to remember when you're old, so you'll have to wait for a long time." ”

Old Cole played flexibly with his ten fingers on the keys, not only the music, but also the movements gave people a very comfortable feeling, and he couldn't tell that he was an old man who was over the age of six.

In the sound of the piano, Landuo saw his fur friends in his hometown, his teacher, and his father........ A figure with smiling faces appeared in her memories in turn, and then Ryan and Ace, two pirates who didn't look like pirates at all...... Interesting new companions.

Dusty remembered listening to her father tell stories about famous knives when she was a child, and the friends she met in the navy, Colonel Smock, who cared about her......

At the end of the song, they were still immersed in the world of music, and it took a long time for Landau to wake up from his memories and show a kind of musical respect for Cole, saying, "There are no two pieces in the world that are the same, not even the same score." But, can you give me a try? ”

Cole Sr. gave up his seat......

Obviously it is the same tone, Landuo's pop-up Ode to Joy has less precipitation and mellowness, but more vigorous vitality and innocent happiness.

In a trance, Cole looked back at him and smiled at him as if he saw the girl playing the piano in the yard....... Two lines of tears ran down Cole's cheeks......

At this moment, outside the window of the small shop.......

"Stop! Don't run! ”

"Catch that guy who eats the overlord's meal!"

"The one in front who eats the overlord's meal, stop me!" The chefs.......

Ace shouted as he ran, "I said it! My money was stolen! I'll pay it back when I get back! ”

"Ghost Letter, !!" The group of chefs in the back collectively shouted.

Ace's legs alternated rapidly, and he fled quickly.

Lando heard Ace's voice, and the piano sounded, and saw the cowboy hat figure flashing outside the window....... Let's not know it......

Dusty said angrily, "It's all to blame on that hateful guy outside, who interrupted Sister Lando's piano." ”

Old Cole said kindly to Lando, "Why don't you go out and have a look?" ”

Lan Duo was stunned and said, "Thank you." "After all, he is the captain of his own ship, but next time he can't let him bring money, at least he has to be next to him......

"Huh? Is this gone? Goodbye to Grandpa Cole. Dusty followed.

Cole Sr. smiled and said, "Welcome to come and play often." ”
