I was only five years old after all, although I had told my parents many times that I did dream that night that a luthier in Taoist clothes taught me how to play the piano, especially since he promised to give me a dingdingqin. But the parents didn't take it seriously at all.

But when they saw that I had never touched the ukulele that had cost nearly 4,000 yuan and had been playing for more than two years, they had been crying day and night to play the dingjingqin. At first, my parents thought I was dreaming and didn't wake up, after all, I had woken up from nightmares a few times before and never came back to my soul for a long time.

I've had many dreams, no matter what the dream is, and I don't take it seriously.

But I also wondered myself, after waking up from that dream, it seemed that there was often a voice reminding me to remember to play that dingdingqin, especially every once in a while, it seemed that a mysterious person kept asking me if I got that dingdingqin?

Because of this, my crying almost never stopped, which inevitably made my parents wonder and wonder.

They must be thinking: Could it be that someone really gave their son a dream? Could it be that there is really some mysterious force in the dark that is quietly controlling his son?

A few days later, sure enough, a dingding qin came to our house from the sky.

My dream came true.

Until now, parents have not been able to explain this.

However, if others are in a hurry to ask questions, they will say that there is no coincidence and no book.

Someone did bring me a dingdingqin, and it was exactly the same as the one I had seen in my dreams, even the two lines of earthworm-like words under the barrel that no one could read.

I didn't know anything about how this dingding qin came to our house at first. After a while, I learned the ins and outs from my father's conversations with others.

My father said that it all started when my neighbor, Uncle Wei Xiaotang, had a midnight fight with his wife on a weekend.

That night, in the dead of night. Uncle Wei Xiaotang and his wife are doing good deeds in bed.

I'm a little kid, and I'm wondering, how can the couple do good deeds in bed in the middle of the night?

My father continued, and they suddenly heard a harp sound under the bed.

"It looks like someone is playing the piano under the bed!" Wei Xiaotang's wife Leng Bingbing heard the sound first.

"Why didn't I hear that?"

"The sound of the piano is very sad!" Wei Xiaotang saw that the old woman said so well with a nose and eyes, so he wondered if he was out of breath and didn't hear the sound of the piano, but after listening to it for a long time, he really didn't hear a sound.

Later, when he finally heard the sound of the harp, he was very strange, when they moved, the harp sounded, and when they didn't move, the harp didn't sound.

When they confirmed that there was indeed a piano under the bed, they immediately suspected that there was a thief in the house. Wei Xiaotang immediately rolled over, raised his hand and pulled open the drawer of the bedside table, grabbed an iron rod the size of a rolling pin that is usually used for self-defense, and turned on the light.

"Dog's day! Come out to Lao Tzu! ......" coldly and panickedly reached out and pulled over the sheets, draped them on his body indiscriminately, wrapped his body, and then jumped to the ground and made an attacking posture.

"Come out!" The two shouted.

There was silence under the bed.

The two looked at each other.

"You bend down and take a look!" Wei Xiaotang tied up his horse, and after holding the iron rod high with both hands, he motioned his wife with his eyes to bend down and look at the bottom of the bed.

Leng Bingbing turned around and picked up the mobile phone on the bedside table, turned on the flashlight function, slowly bent down, as the mobile phone light pillar shook around the bottom of the bed, she slowly approached the edge of the bed, and finally lifted all the sheets hanging on the edge of the bed to the bed, bowed her head and bent down to get under the bed.

Seeing that there was no sound after his wife got under the bed, Wei Xiaotang obviously knew that there was no one under the bed, he let out a long breath, put the iron rod on the bedside table, and kept wiping the beads of sweat on his forehead with both hands.

"What kind of is this? A curved bow to play cotton? Leng Bingbing scolded suspiciously, and pushed out a curved bow more than a meter long with a sauce-red appearance that looked like playing cotton.

"What bounces a cotton bow? This is a piano called Ding Ding. I got it back from my hometown in Guangxi. I haven't had time to string it yet. Wei Xiaotang said with a smile.

"But I wondered why this piano was so staccato that it played as loudly as a staccato when it was missing strings and lay flat under the bed."

Wei Xiaotang didn't want to delve into this issue, the husband and wife were doing things in bed, and the piano placed under the bed would make a strange sound, which was really creepy.

Well, let's not think about it that way.

The two of them were no longer interested in continuing, so they put on their pajamas, and after going to the bathroom one after another, they both went to bed and were about to fall asleep. But as soon as he lay down, Leng Bingbing suddenly asked thoughtfully: "This broken piano...... Where did you get it from your hometown? When did you get it? How did I not know anything about it? ”

"I'll tell you the truth, it was given to me by someone else when I returned to my hometown in Guangxi to worship my ancestors on the third day of the third lunar month last year."

"Someone else?"

"It was given by my clansmen from my hometown in Guangxi."

"The clansmen from my hometown gave it? Where did they get it? The wife asked.

"On the third day of the third lunar month last year, didn't the old family move the graves of their ancestors? When I found two harps from the grave of an ancestor during the relocation, they gave me one of them......"

Leng Bingbing heard that it was taken out of the tomb of the dead, and immediately became angry, sat up with a "hoof", stretched out his hand, lifted the quilt on Wei Xiaotang's body to the bottom of the bed, and scolded: "You are a psychopath!" What do you want to do with a dirty thing that is not clean and put it under the bed? Why do you just put it under the bed? Why don't you sleep with it in your arms at night! scolded here, Leng Bingbing kicked Wei Xiaotang's waist fiercely, and pushed hard, Wei Xiaotang was directly kicked by her to the bottom of the bed.

"Enough! I took this piano from the grave of my ancestors, and it wasn't given to me by a woman. ”

"Get out of here, throw this broken piano in the trash can at the top of the stairs! Immediately! Right away! Have to! Leng Binghua ordered with a look on his face.

"Alright, alright. In the middle of the night, what are you yelling about? I'm afraid that my neighbors won't hear us arguing, right? ”

"I said you Wei Xiaotang, Wei Xiaotang, you are a big old man who can only fish all day long, what are you doing with a dead man's broken things under the bed? Tell me, what exactly do you want to do? Do you want to scare me to death and find a new one? ”

"Where do you think you're going! I took it back at the time, such a long guy, isn't there no place at home, I stuffed it under the bed for a while, and then forgot about it......"

"If you don't do anything clean, people will avoid it, and you still have a soft spot for it. Think about it, since you brought this broken piano to your home on the third day of the third lunar month last year, we have not done anything well, the stock is lost, the fund is lost, and we can't even get a provident fund loan approved for buying a house...... Also, my menstrual period has been suddenly and inexplicably disturbed for almost a year...... I now suspect that the culprit of all this is this unclean broken piano! ”

"You think too much, isn't it just a wooden piano? How powerful can it be? It's inexplicable! Unreasonable! ”

"I won't tell you that much, you just throw it in the trash can outside the house! Right away! Immediately! He commanded coldly and loudly.

"I said that you are all from Xianyang, Shaanxi, why don't you know the preciousness of the unearthed cultural relics! Look at the Xi'an Terracotta Warriors and horses, and the things unearthed in Xianyang, which one is not a treasure? Which brick and tile in the dry mausoleum near your house are not worth much? What's wrong with putting it under the bed? I'll tell you about a wooden piano, and I'm not afraid of a dead man's bones stuffed under my bed. Do you know how much the Peking Man's skull is worth? Priceless! It's just that for various reasons, the skull was lost in the war, and its whereabouts are still unknown. But as long as there is the slightest hope alive, the relevant departments of the state will have to make a thousand times more efforts to find it! I told you, whoever throws away cultural relics is a loser, and whoever throws it is a sinner of the country and the nation! ”

"I'm not going to mess with you. A broken piano, it's still a baby, why don't you sleep with it at night? You take it out and throw it away right away! Throw it as far away from our home as possible! Leng Bingbing couldn't listen to a word, and scolded angrily.

"I took it back from a long distance on the Sino-Vietnamese border, and said that you would throw it away, you are too ruthless, right?" Wei Xiaotang saw that the big reason didn't work, so he turned around and played the emotional card.

The quarrel grew louder and more intense.

"You don't throw it, do you?" Before the cold words fell, he stood in front of his husband and threatened angrily: "I'll throw it downstairs!" ”

"Hey, you, you, what do you want to do?"

"What? Also the cultural relics! Let go! Leng Bingbing bent down to pick up the end of the piano's hinge, but Wei Xiaotang also rushed up and grabbed the end of the piano barrel tightly.

The two of them each clung to one end of the piano, scolding and scolding each other, pushing and shoving, from the master room to the aisle, from the aisle to the hall......

This kind of quarrel soon woke up my parents, who lived next door. After the father got up, without saying a word, he ran over to persuade him.

"What's going on? You're just trying to grab this instrument? When the door opened, my father walked straight to the hall, and saw a piano more than a meter long and shaped like a sauce-red bow used by a cottonmaker lay horizontally on the floor in front of the television.

"Yes, it's a dingding." Wei Xiaotang replied.

"Ding Dingqin?" My father had never heard of this kind of instrument, let alone seen or played with it. But when he heard that this piano was called Ding Ding Qin, he couldn't help but be stunned. Could it be that during this time, his son was crying day and night and wanted to play this piano? Could it be that his son got it in his heart during this time, and the Taoist priest who taught him to play the piano in his dream promised to give him a dingding qin is this one?

Thinking about it this way, my father's heart couldn't help but be a little confused. But given that it is the middle of the night at the moment, besides, the piano that his son saw in his dream and this piano are both called Ding Ding Qin, is it purely a coincidence? My father's thinking at this time was simply cutting and messing up.

Well, let's talk about it tomorrow.

"What are you going to do with it?" Father asked.

"You can deal with it however you want, but you must not throw it away, this is my bottom line!"

"What about you?" Father asked coldly again.

"This is a broken piano taken out of the tomb of the dead, and it must not be kept at home, this is my principle!"

"How about I get to my house?" Actually, my father's original intention was that I would take it back and put it in my house first, and then I would talk about it after you two were dissipated.

Wei Xiaotang bent down and picked up the piano, turned around and grabbed the door in front of my father, and moved the piano straight into our house, "As long as Brother Li doesn't dislike it, this piano will be given to you, and I will never regret it!" ”

Father sent Uncle Wei Xiaotang out, closed the door, went to the bathroom to pee, went back to the bedroom to go to bed, and the mother asked dreamily, "Come back so soon?" I heard that something else was brought to our house? ”

"Isn't it just a broken piano! Wei Xiaotang said that it was left by his ancestors and must not be thrown away, and his wife said that it was taken out of the tomb of the dead and never put it at home. Isn't this just a quarrel. I had no choice but to take the piano home first, and then talk about it when the two of them were reconciled. ”

When her mother heard this, she couldn't help but be startled, she sat up with a sigh of relief, and was helplessly pressed by her father with one hand. "What are you going to do in the middle of the night? Be careful not to wake your son up. ”

"How dare you bring dead man's things to your home?" Mother asked sharply.

"Forget it. I am the director of the District Local Chronicles Office, and over the years, have I led my subordinates to excavate or repair fewer ancient tombs in the Pearl River Estuary area? You also work in the ancient fort management office, and you don't go to work every day with dead people's objects, what guns, cannons, knives, forks, halberds, etc. Now I'm going to take a broken piano home and store it temporarily, what are you afraid of? ”

Seeing my father say this, my mother was speechless.
