Rain Curtain Rafting (3)
Li Pian'er raised her hand and touched it on her head, stroking the conch, and her voice was sandwiched in the sound of rain outside the boat: "You gave me this, it made me think of Yazhou, I feel that time flies very fast, and when I think about it when I come back, that time seems to be like a dream." I also want to pick the coconut again, I heard that the coconut can ripen four times a year, this year is no chance, if you go to sea next year, you can accompany me to pick coconuts, right? ”
Li Pian'er seemed to be confessing in disguise, but she didn't mean that, she just had a strange feeling for Yazhou, plus she was playful and thought it was fun to pick coconuts, so she said this to Feng Yuyu. In fact, she was a little sorry, if it wasn't for her husband's poor health, then the three of them could go together, but unfortunately the sky didn't follow her wishes.
Feng Yuxuan nodded at her: "Well, I promise you." At that time, I will definitely take you to Yazhou again and accompany you to pick coconuts. I've got something for you, and you're going to love it. ”
"Anything else? It's enough to have this hairpin, I'm not greedy, you don't have to give me so much. A flash of surprise flashed in Li Pian'er's eyes, today is not her birthday, why prepare so many gifts for her.
"This one is different." Feng Yuyu said and walked to a low wooden box in the corner, opened it and took out the special thing for Li Pian'er.
Li Pian'er's eyes gradually straightened as the things in the wooden box came out little by little, and it wasn't until Feng Yuyu put the things in front of her that she reacted and exclaimed in surprise: "Guitar? The joy was palpable.
"I asked the instrument master to make it according to the picture you drew, and I don't know if the effect is what you want." Feng Yuyu saw that Li Pian'er was so excited to be happy, and her heart was also warm, and she felt that it was worth it.
When she was on a desert island, Li Pian'er mentioned to him this musical instrument similar to the ancient pipa, saying that she liked it very much. In this way, Feng Yuyu remembered that after returning to the inn, one afternoon when the two of them had nothing to do, he only told Li Pian'er that he was very curious about what this instrument called guitar looked like, and asked about the material. Later, he brought pen and paper and asked Li Pian'er to draw the guitar pattern carefully.
He did not tell Li Pian'er that he was going to make this instrument, but in private he took practical action, and when the merchant ship left, he handed the pattern to the little servant along with the list of materials needed, and ordered him to find the best craftsman in Qiantang, the price was not a problem, but it must be made. It took more than 20 days for the craftsman to finally get the appearance that Li Pian'er sees now, which is basically the same as a modern guitar, with all parts complete.
Li Pian'er took the guitar and stroked it with her fingers on the smooth wood grain, gently plucked a thin string, and a plump and bright crisp sound was born with the fingers, trembling slightly between the strings, and it did not disperse for a long time. Just this sound seemed to relieve her homesickness, which was the voice she knew and longed for.
She was an art student, although she studied painting, but those were bluffing, at that time she just wanted how to play more chic, and she didn't care about what she learned. In terms of music, she didn't pay much attention to it, the guitar can only be regarded as a hobby of hers, and she is self-taught in playing and singing, and she has no intention of taking the road of music. What she wants is a kind of freedom that is unfettered and unfettered, and if she really walks on that path, there will be an extra layer of invisible restraint on her body, which is not what she thinks.
"It's a good thing, just a slight tuning. Last time you told me so much about guitar construction and materials, that's what it is? Thank you, I love it. Do you know? In the past, every time I was crazy outside, I came home late at night and saw the huge house empty, but in fact, my heart was full of loneliness.
At that time, sometimes I was drunk and fell asleep, but sometimes I was awake and had no sleep at all, and at this time, I could only be accompanied by the guitar, and I came over like this for three or four years. Li Pian'er stared at the guitar in her arms, and her tone was mixed with a hint of loss at the end.
There is no tuning table, Li Pian'er can only use her ears to adjust the six strings one by one by feeling. But it didn't bother her, for a person who often punches, ears are better than tuning meters.
Li Pian'er's words were in Fengyu'er's ears, which made him a little unbearable, and he didn't know how to answer her words for a while, he could understand the inner loneliness that Li Pian'er said, but he didn't really experience it, because at least he had so many women around him, although he was lonely inside, he was not lonely outside, even if it was late at night, he was rarely alone. It took him a while before he opened his mouth and comforted: "These are all over, and with me in the future, you won't feel lonely anymore." ”
"You gave me two such precious things, and in return I will sing you two songs. I just had a guitar and could use it to accompani, but I could only sing what I could handle, and I didn't know anything else. Just don't dislike it. Li Pian'er doesn't learn anything on weekdays, but she has no problem singing, which is also "thanks to" her bars and other places to soak a lot, and it was good to sing a song "Li Bai" for Feng Yaojue last time, but it's a pity that Feng Yaojue doesn't understand, and she sings to the cow.
"Well, I'm honored. What song? "Feng Yuxuan is full of interest and looking forward to it.
Li Pian'er put the tuned guitar in a good position, covered it with her jade fingers, and her expression was more serious and calm than she had before, and her faint gaze fell on the front of Youfeng Yuxuan, and said: "Sing the first song first, Chen Li's "Sex Empty Mountain", which belongs to a folk song. This song is like a durian, those who like it will love it to the bone, and those who don't like it will avoid it. It just so happens that this guitar is suitable for playing and singing ballads. ”
Seeing Feng Yuxuan nodding slightly to her, she looked down at her eyestrings, moved her fingers, and threw herself into it.
The slow string sound bounced out of her fingers like falling beads, and she looked at the void with an intoxicated expression, her eyes were slightly sloppy, and she slowly spoke: "Send you a thousand miles until the mountains become flattened......
Outside the boat, the dense sound of rain gusts, in the distance is a white expanse of unknowable, the willows on the shore of the lake are still fluttering in the soft wind, and the branches and leaves are full of clear water droplets, decorating countless oil-paper umbrellas that come and go. On the rippling surface of the lake, there were a few more slow painting boats, and in the mist of the rain, it seemed that they had forgotten where they had been.
Inside the boat, Li Pian'er's singing is long and distant, deep and mysterious, revealing a boundless blank nothingness, the sentimentality of parting and the endless loneliness and emptiness, and at the same time, there is also a kind of uninhibited and persistent greed. Feng Yuxuan quietly looked at the person in front of him, the song echoed in his ears, unconsciously drifted into his heart, intoxicated, resonated, a faint sadness spontaneously arose from his heart, thousands of emotions surged into his heart, and his expression became more and more intoxicated.
Their boat from the dense circle of the lake against the current leisurely, leisurely and comfortable, the song contained in the rich emotion, in the hazy rain curtain spread far away, the wind with the rain in the lake with a touch of drunkenness, attracted a few strange painting boats, the boat travelers have walked out of the comfortable tent, umbrella standing on the bow of the boat, to the rain in the hazy sound source frequently by looking around, through the wind corner of their boat window, see only Li Pian'er's vague side face.
"Half-awake and half-drunk, day after day, no wind and no rain, year after year, the flower branch also beckons a glass of wine......" Li Pian'er's plucking jade fingers are skillful and leisurely, with a little bit of nothingness, although she feels relaxed in the song, she is also a little sad, homesickness is stronger, and gradually moistens her eyes.
The wind and rain did not stop, the vague sound continued, the boat that was coming towards them slowed down, not far away, not far away, not close, through the sound of rain, the faint melody was no longer vague and illusory, and the listener seemed to have entered the country.
The old boatman in the bow of the boat gradually slowed down the movements of his hands, and he couldn't help himself, maybe he felt the same way, the kind of river and lake detention conveyed in the song seemed to be exactly what he had experienced, and some things, only after experience, can be deeply experienced.
"The merry son was a young man, how many old people died before the rivers and lakes, the old me came back to the heavy stones, there was no news, and I was empty." At the end of the song, the people who listened to the song were deeply trapped and couldn't extricate themselves, the people outside the boat lost their minds, and the people inside the boat were completely drunk.
Two tears rolled down from Li Pian'er's eyes, and a rainy lake breeze blew from the window, blowing up the broken hair on her forehead, and also blowing the two tears, cold and cold on her cheeks, and a trace of coldness melted into her heart. She was homesick, and when she was homesick, she thought of Yazhou, and thought of her childhood, when she still had the care of her grandmother.
"Why are you crying?" The sad Feng Yu Yu came back to his senses after a long time, and what caught his eyes was the tear stains that crossed Li Pian'er's calm face. He leaned over, stretched out his hand, and gently wiped her away.
Li Pian'er smiled lightly and said, "Maybe it was because of feelings, so I cried." How is it? Do you like it? ”
"Very good, there is a kind of Jianghu atmosphere, the melancholy in the song makes people feel hurt involuntarily, and at the same time makes people have a transcendent state of mind, which is free and proud in the eclectic. The tune is weird, and I have never heard such a tune before. Presumably, the person who composed this song must be an old man who has gone through all the vicissitudes of life, right? How could it be otherwise. Feng Yuxuan's faint gaze proved that he was distracted, and in this song, he heard more than that, some of which could not be expressed in words.
Li Pian'er never thought that Feng Yuyu would be able to say this, her joy overflowed on her face, her mood was much better, and she said, "I didn't expect you to understand!" But you guessed it wrong, the person who wrote this song is not an old man, but a woman in her twenties, she was almost twenty-four years old when she released this song, and as for her experience, I don't know very well. But her family background is definitely not bad, and I am quite strange that she can create such a song. There are many of her songs, each with a different meaning, but some people may not understand them. ”
"Weird. But you're singing well. He had never thought that such a deep piece of music would come from a woman born in a peaceful and prosperous world, and he had to wonder what kind of person this woman was.
