Chapter 155: The Familiar Sound of the Piano
Gu Li found some wood and wanted to make a wooden shelf. There were no hammers or chisels at home, so she went next door to see if she could borrow them.
However, she had just walked out of the house when a long piano sounded in her ears, and the sound of the piano made her heart tremble.
Gu Li didn't know the rhythm of music, and the reason why she had a different feeling about the sound of the piano was because this familiar sound instantly pulled her thoughts back to more than a year ago.
At that time, he sat on the bluestone platform under the plane tree, quiet and elegant, his slender fingers like jade flicking on the silk strings. The white clothes and black hair reflect the mottled light and shadow of the sycamore flowers and leaves.
The sound of the piano continued, but Gu Li forcibly pulled her thoughts back.
For her, Yan Qing has become a thing of the past in the dust, this is Changning, he will not be here, and the person who plays the piano at this moment cannot be him.
"Brother Wu." Gu Li stood at the door, and when she saw that the door was hidden, she shouted.
It's not good for her to go in directly, someone is playing the piano, if it wasn't for Fang Gongzi, then it must be an elegant guest from the house.
Bamboo is planted inside the door, and the bamboo bushes form a dense barrier, and the scene in the courtyard cannot be seen from the door.
If there was no such barrier, then Gu Li could see at a glance that under the plane tree, the person she was familiar with was sitting there leisurely and elegantly, still dressed in white and with black hair, unstained.
When her voice sounded, the sound of the piano suddenly condensed, but Gu Li didn't understand the rhythm and didn't hear it.
Wu Bai walked out around the bamboo bush and asked with a smile, "Miss Gu has something to do with me?" ”
Gu Li nodded and explained his intention: "I want to cut wood to make a shelf, there are no hammers and chisels at home, I want to ask you if you have anything here, I want to borrow it." ”
"Yes, Miss Gu wait a minute." When Wu Bai said this, he went in again.
After a few moments, he had chisels, hammers, and planers in his hands.
"I'll help you do it, you're a girl's family, it's not easy to do these jobs." Wu Bai said.
Gu Li hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, I can do it, so I won't bother you." ”
Wu Bai insisted: "What is Miss Gu polite to me?" We neighbors should take care of each other. ”
As he said this, he stepped over the threshold.
When he said this, Gu Li was uncomfortable. The neighbors should indeed take care of each other, but the truth is that she is the one who is taken care of, and she has not taken care of them.
When Wu Bai arrived at her house, he saw a pile of wood in the yard, so he asked, "What kind of shelf does Miss Gu want to make?" ”
"That's it." Gu Li took out a drawn drawing and showed it to him.
Wu Bai only glanced at it, then nodded and smiled: "This is simple, Miss Gu wait a while, it will be fine soon." ”
As he spoke, he took a piece of wood and split it in half, and then smoothed it with a planer.
Gu Li stood aside and watched, and only halfway through it realized a problem: if she did it herself, she was afraid that the wood would only be wasted, and she completely underestimated the difficulty of making a shelf.
You have to turn the wood into sticks first, then make a falcon, and arrange these sticks together to make a shelf.
Looking at Wu Bai's light and skillful work, if she was to come by herself, it would inevitably take a lot of effort, and she might not be able to succeed.
"What is this shelf made by Miss Gu for?" Wu Bai asked while connecting the wooden strips.
"Use it for experiments." Gu Li replied.
Wu Bai smiled and nodded, and didn't continue, anyway, he didn't understand.
"By the way, is Fang Gongzi back?" Gu Li asked.
"Not yet."
"Is that a guest from home?" Gu Li asked again.
Wu Bai's movements in his hand stopped slightly, looked at her and asked with a smile, "Why did Miss Gu say this?" ”
Gu Li smiled: "I just heard someone playing the piano. ”
Wu Bai couldn't think of anything else to go back and forth for a while, so he said, "Well, it's a guest." ”
He can't always say that he is himself, or that the kitchen at home plays the piano.
"Oh." Gu Li agreed, and didn't ask any more.
Since he is a guest at home, it is not very good to inquire about other people's affairs.
"Okay, Miss Gu will see if it's okay." Wu Bai made a good shelf and put it in front of Gu Li.
Gu Li looked at it and praised it sincerely: "It's just perfect, thank you Brother Wu." ”
Wu Bai shook his head with a smile, said goodbye, and went back to the next door.
The sound of the piano had long since stopped, but Yan Qing was still sitting under the plane tree.
"Miss Gu heard the sound of the piano and asked if there were any guests at home, and I said yes." Wu Bai stood in front of him and said.
Yan Qing was fiddling with the strings, and in response to a "Got it", he let him go down.
Gu Li looked at the wooden shelf in front of him, looked left and right, and was very satisfied no matter how he looked at it.
Now that the things needed for the experiment are almost ready, her experiments can also begin.
Early the next morning, before Gu Li went to the Spring Return Hall, the owner of the orchard brought her half a cart of moldy plums.
Gu Li looked at it and saw that the degree of rot of these plums varied from severity, and although they had cyan hairs, there were still many impurities attached to the surface.
"It's impossible for a good plum to rot too much, girl, you want more, so I picked up some from under the tree." The owner said.
"Thank you for your hard work." Gu Li thanked him and asked him to help put all the moldy fruits in her yard.
When Jin Zhi saw this pile of rotten fruits, she was really a little speechless, she knew that there were collectors of famous calligraphy and paintings, as well as antique jade, but she had never heard of collecting moldy rotten fruits.
She understands that these rotten fruits are to be used for medicine, but she just keeps them at home, and her eyes look at them, and she always feels weird.
When Gu Li was standing at the door to see the gardener leave, she happened to see the neighbor's carriage passing in front of her. The curtains of the car were so tightly covered that nothing could be seen inside.
The degree of mildew of these plums was not too serious, and Gu Li was not in a hurry to deal with them, but went to the Spring Return Hall first.
Because of the delay for a while, she arrived a little late today, and when she entered the door, she already saw a patient waiting to see a doctor.
Gu Li saw at a glance that there was a young man sitting on the bench in the rest area, he was dressed in a sea blue shirt, his neckline was neatly folded in front of his neck, and when Gu Li looked at him, he also looked at her.
Just this glance made Gu Li have a good impression of him, not only a good impression, but also a sense of familiarity.
The man was neatly dressed, his eyes were gentle, and his hands were clasped cleanly in front of his knees. The aura exuded from his body gave Gu Li a kind of intimate feeling of "a fellow practitioner".
