Chapter 15 The Flute Man
Outside, the full moon was like a silver platter, and Xiao Gezi followed the sound of the flute to find it, and found the person who played the flute, who sat on a stone slab under the woods and held a delicate flute, and played his familiar tune, so obsessed that he was completely unaware of the presence of someone beside him.
Little Grid came to him, but he still didn't listen, and he didn't even look at himself with his head down. Little Grid was surprised and stared at him for a long time, but he never looked up at him, nor did he mean to stop. Xiao Gezi had to stand there silently and listen to him finish the song, and after the sound of the flute stopped, Xiao Gezi couldn't help coughing.
"Who?" The person who played the flute asked very vigilantly, but still kept his head down.
"I'm sorry, I'm a passer-by, I heard your flute, and I felt like a dream, so I came here to talk to you." Little Grid said.
"What can I talk about as a blind man?" The voice of the person who played the flute sounded vicissitudes and some grievances.
"Blind?" Xiao Gezi looked at his eyes, only to see that his eyes were blank and his eyes were dull, it turned out that he couldn't see, no wonder there seemed to be many stories hidden in the sound of the flute. At this time, Xiao Gezi was a little embarrassed, as a musician in the palace, if he was a blind person, it would be inconvenient. Should he give him the domino?
"Well, two years ago, I had an eye disease, and I suddenly lost my sight, and my heart was miserable. Fortunately, I have loved since I was a child, so as to drive away loneliness. The man said.
"I see, then you blow slowly!" After Xiao Gezi finished speaking, he left. The person who played the flute was still unsatisfied, and continued to play another tune.
When Xiao Gezi returned to the room, Emperor Wuding was still sitting in his room waiting. "Ding Ye, the person you asked me to find was found, he was sitting in the woods in the distance and was playing a, the was a child who had been practicing since childhood, but it was a pity that he was a blind person, so he didn't dare to hand over this domino to him, but he was in a hurry to come back and report to you."
"A blind man?" Emperor Wuding stood up in surprise when he heard this, "Although the sound of the flute is beautiful, it comes from a blind man, and it is not suitable for him to be a court musician." Or just that! After Emperor Wuding said this, his tone was inevitably a little disappointed, and Xiao Gezi handed the dominoes back to Emperor Wuding, and he left quickly.
The woman had not yet fallen asleep, and when she saw Emperor Wuding coming back, she asked him how he was doing. Have you found the person who gave the? Emperor Wuding shook his head and said, "I sent Xiao Gezi out to look for it, it turned out to be a blind person!" The idea of making him a court musician is just done! The woman sighed a little when she heard this. She always felt that she had some connection with this, but she couldn't remember where she had heard about him for a while. She searched carefully in her mind, and she finally remembered that her maid Qiuyue had told her that she had an older brother who was very good at, and she had been playing the flute since she was a child, but then she was lost. She had been looking for her brother, but to no avail, and finally she entered the palace as a maidservant, and she had been thinking about her brother in her heart, but she didn't have much time to look for it.
"How old does that guy look like?" The woman asked.
"I didn't ask." Emperor Wuding shook his head and said, the sound of the flute was still there, but it sounded more sad than the previous song, and the woman got up and put on her clothes, and chased after her. Following the direction from which the sound of the flute came, she found the person who was playing the flute.
"The sound of the flute is very melodious, but the taste of grief is a little more." The woman said.
"You are?" The person who played the flute heard the sound of talking, interrupted the sound of the flute, lowered his head and asked.
"I'm a tenant of this neighborhood inn, and I'm also a lover of music." The woman replied.
"I used to be a lover of music." The man who played the flute repeated.
"I don't know if you've heard of Qiuyue?" The woman asked straight to the point.
"Qiuyue, that's my sister. Have you ever seen her? As soon as the person who was playing the flute heard the name Qiuyue, he immediately stood up nervously and asked her.
"Of course, she mentioned to me that she has a brother who loves, but she got lost and has been looking for it, so I came to ask you." The woman replied.
"My name is Akiyama, and I have a younger sister named Akizuki, the moon must be very round today, right? So I'm sitting here to blow the flute for half a night, just to find my sister Qiuyue. Akiyama calmed down, "Do you know her whereabouts?" ”
"She never found you later, entered the palace, and became a maidservant." The woman replied.
"Do you know where she lives? Can you take me to find her? I want to see her. Akiyama said in a pleading tone.
"I don't have time to take you to look for her, but you can tell me where you live, and when I see her later, I'll let her come to you when I have time." Can? The woman asked.
"Of course you can." Akiyama happily replied, taking out a piece of oracle bone from his bosom and handing it to the woman, "This is engraved with my address, which I asked someone who knows bone writing to engrave for me." Can you read it to me and see the address? The woman read the words on the oracle bone, and Akiyama said that the address was correct, and if his sister found him, then the woman would be a great benefactor to their brother and sister in this life, and there was no way to repay him. The woman laughed and said, "It's a small thing! Nothing to speak of. ”
When the woman came back, Emperor Wuding still didn't close his eyes. "You went out to find the?" Emperor Wuding asked the woman to say good, the woman nodded, and told the Emperor Wuding about Qiuyue, and when the Emperor Wuding heard this, the look in his eyes was both surprised and incredulous: "There is such a coincidental thing in the world?" Why don't we stay here for the next few days, and I'll ask Xiao Gezi to hurry back to Yuanlu Courtyard and bring Qiuyue over to recognize her own brother? ”
"This ......" The woman was a little hesitant, this is not a good idea, but I am afraid that I am worried that I will delay the trip of Emperor Wuding, how can I be bothered by the king of a country because of the private affairs of a servant girl? Emperor Wuding seemed to have guessed the woman's thoughts, and said, "The sooner this matter is handled, the better." "The next day, when the sky was bright, Emperor Wuding arranged for Xiao Gezi to rush back to Yuanlu Courtyard to pick up Qiuyue.
"Father-in-law, why did you come back? Didn't you accompany Emperor Wuding and Niangniang on a tour? "Autumn Wind was curious when she saw Xiao Gezi coming back.
"Where's Autumn Moon?" Xiao Gezi raised his head and looked around for the figure of Qiu Feng and asked.
"Autumn Moon!" Autumn Wind shouted Qiuyue's name to the back room, and Qiuyue came out of the back room when she heard the sound and looked at the two of them.
"Qiuyue, you hurry up and go out with me!" Xiao Gezi said anxiously to Qiu Yue.
"Going out? Where is this going to take me? Qiu Yue was confused, obviously he went out with Emperor Wuding and his wife, but now he doesn't know where he came from, and he wants to take her out.
"Of course it's your master!" The little lattice replied.
"Do you know what's going on?" Qiu Yue couldn't help but ask.
"I don't know yet, but looking at the look of the king, it seems that there is something very important." "Don't ask, just go." In this way, Qiu Yue was urged into the carriage, and the coachman drove the horse as fast as possible, and in this way, they soon returned to the Qingfeng Inn where Emperor Wuding and the woman had settled.
"Autumn Moon! You're here! "The woman was very excited to see Qiuyue.
"Niangniang, what's the matter with me coming over?" Qiu Yue asked curiously.
"I saw your brother Akiyama!" The woman said loudly.
"Really? Did the mother actually see my brother Akiyama? Where is he now? Are you okay? Qiu Yue asked several questions in a row.
"Yesterday he was giving a in the woods under the moon around here, I saw him and he said he had been looking for you. This is where he lives. After the woman finished speaking, she handed the oracle bone that Akiyama handed over to her, and Qiuyue took the oracle bone and looked at it, she was not familiar with this place, but she could ask the shopkeeper, and even asked him to help find her own brother, the shopkeeper was very enthusiastic, he was very familiar with this address, and readily agreed.
"Little lattice, you can go with Qiuyue!" Ding Ye commanded, and Xiao Gezi nodded.
