Qu Lao laughed and said proudly: "The old man has seen almost all the musical instruments in Kyushu, and he can play it well. ”

Chi Yue didn't expect that Qu Lao would know gourd silk, although he was mentally prepared, he was quite surprised, and asked: "Then, Qu Lao, you must also have gourd silk here?" ”

No, Qu Lao's face suddenly sank, stroked his long beard, shook his head and said, "When I played that instrument, I was still young, and I was traveling south. Later, the instrument was lost on the way back and forth. ”

It was a pity to say that, and he said: "But this instrument is also easy to make, find an excellent instrument maker, describe the appearance of the instrument to him, I think he will definitely be able to make it." ”

When Chi Yue heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up, "Then you must remember the appearance of the gourd silk and be able to depict all the details?" ”

Qu Lao nodded with a smile, "Since Miss Chi and the old man are a pair of bosom friends, then the old man has the right to help you with this, the old man is familiar with the principles of musical instruments as well as his own fingers." It's just that you have to do the old man a favor. ”

"What's the busy?" Chi Yue asked with an eyebrow.

"You have to hum the tune twice more to the old man so that he can record the score, would you like to?" Sure enough, Qu Lao always revolves around that song.

Shicai Chiyue just sang a cappella and didn't hum all the tunes, because Qu Lao had such a request, hoping to hear the full tune.

"It's easy." Chi Yue agreed, and asked tentatively: "Then Qu Lao, are you willing to help me accompany?" ”

Qu Lao's excited face suddenly fell silent, stroked his beard and said: "The old man has made a vow that he will never go out of the mountain again, no matter what method you use to force me, I will not participate in that boring market event." ”

The little guy on the side couldn't help but say: "This girl, since Qu Lao has promised to help you make that gourd silk, you will be content, why do you have to make an inch, you have to invite Qu Lao out of the mountain?" You don't weigh yourself, do you have this honor? Can you invite people who can't even invite princes and generals? ”

The words were quite disdainful, Chi Yue was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "The original intention of me coming was to invite Qu Lao out of the mountain, and I thought that Qu Lao would promise to help me accompany me, so I promised Qu Lao to hum for him a few more times." said that Qu Lao was not happy, so I had to retract my previous words, so it was evenly balanced. ”

Seeing that Chi Yue really had to get up inch by inch, Qu Lao's brows furrowed tightly.

"Then you don't even want gourd silk?" The little guy saw that Qu Lao really wanted to get this score, so he had to entangle with Chi Yue again.

"Let's ask Qu Lao or Hulusi, which is more important to me?" Chi Yue asked rhetorically.

Both sides refused to compromise, and the air froze.

Qu Lao got up and waved away.

Chi Yue said solemnly behind him: "I am in Wuxiang Village, my name is Chi Yue, you will know where I live as soon as you ask." When the time comes, if you need to, you can go to me at any time, and I know this song by heart. ”

But Qu Lao is angry, where is he willing to go back and ask her again? In the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the bamboo house and disappeared.

On the way back, Chi Yue thought about it, wondering if the bet he made was feasible and humane?

If people can't invite it, and the instrument of gourd silk can't be obtained, then won't she come empty-handed and come for nothing? Does she want to compromise and be content when she gets the gourd?

But she is a person who does not give up until she reaches her goal, even if she offends people temporarily, she also looks forward to achieving her ideal perfect ending.

But seeing that at the beginning of the lunar month, Qu Lao didn't send anyone over, and Chi Yue was really anxious.

Could it be that the temptation of my own song is not enough? She also thought that Qu Lao was really a person who loved to make mistakes, and it seemed that in the face of his dignity and oath, this hobby was so vulnerable.

In this way, Chi Yue made another plan.

Today, the three of them have practiced and practiced dance, and they have a tacit understanding. Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed, so they only need to find a musician to accompany them.

Since Qu Lao can't invite him, who do he have to look for?

Seeing that there were still five days before the preliminary round, Chi Yuezhi was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and the group spun around.

Late at night, Chi Yue had no intention of working in the space, put on a floral cotton coat, walked to the pavilion in the courtyard, and looked at the surrounding night in the cold wind.

The moonlight is like washing, and the stars in the night are dry, and there is also a trace of coldness in this winter flute.

The waves are sparkling and the lake is silent.

The deep lake, as if hiding a thousand-year-old secret, shows a little bit to people, but it seems to lure people deep into it, until it becomes its belly.

Chi Yue was immersed in the bottomless secret at this time, and wanted to explore, but he couldn't find any clues.

Suddenly, she felt a cold wind blowing around her. In an instant, calm was restored.

Chi Yue tightened her cotton tightening, glanced at the side, but found that there was one more thing on the stone table next to her!

When she saw what it was, her eyes widened suddenly, and then Huo Ran got up and looked around.

"Who is it?" She couldn't help but ask.

There was silence in all directions, not even the sound of insects or wind, and time seemed to stand still at this moment.

Chi Yue knew that this person must be strong in martial arts, otherwise she would not be like a ghost, passing by her, she would not know it!

She retracted her gaze, picked up the things on the table, and played with them carefully, her face was not shocked, but her heart was surging.

This is a gourd silk! So delicate that it looks without the slightest blemish.

And the precious rosewood is inlaid with two crystal clear rubies, and the mouthpiece on the top of the gourd is actually made of genuine high-quality Hetian jade.

Chi Yue excitedly stroked this valuable instrument, and her heart was full of doubts.

This person knew that she was entangled in the matter of musical instruments, and it was inexplicable to send charcoal in the snow, thinking that God had helped, and this person actually gave her such a precious treasure, wasn't he afraid that she would sell it for money?

The jade on this musical instrument is really superb, and it is worth a thousand taels no matter how you say it!

Could it be that this man was someone she knew?

She only mentioned the lack of gourd silk to her family, Xiaocui, and Qu Lao, and none of them could be so mysterious and send this thing to her late at night.

After thinking about it, she couldn't think of a reason.

However, now that she has the gourd silk, she finally put down a heavy stone in her heart, but she is not so thorough.

Even if she hires a musician, she won't be able to learn to play this instrument in a short period of time. With only arrows and no bows, she still can't go to the battlefield.

Worried, I went back to bed, tossing and turning for a long time before Chi Yue fell asleep.

The next day, when Chi Yue came back from the workshop, Zhou pulled her over and said with a smile: "Yue'er, not long after you left early this morning, a person came to our house, and the old man Qu you invited should be willing to come down and go with you to accompany you!" ”

Chi Yue couldn't believe her ears, "Mother, you're not joking, are you?" ”

When it was confirmed that Zhou was definitely coming, Chi Yue was so excited that he hugged everyone present and was excited.

Their performance, with the old man singing, is half the success, how can she not be happy?

It's just that after calming down, she can't help but wonder.

Why did it take so long for Qu Lao Fang to agree to come to her?

With curiosity, Chi Yue brought some homemade delicate pastries, as well as her own wine, and came to Yunxia Mountain again.

This time, Qu Lao did not treat him hospifully, but he did not return and never see him, but just plucked the strings under the bamboo forest by himself, and he was content and forgetful.

After he finished playing a few songs, after having fun, Chi Yue found an opportunity to hum "Phoenix Tail Bamboo in the Moonlight" for Qu Lao a few times.

Qu Lao secretly memorized the tune while tasting the wine brought by Chi Yue. Finally, he bowed his head slightly and said, "This wine tastes mellow, and it is even more fragrant than the tribute I drank in the palace, but I don't know where the girl bought it?" ”

Chi Yue didn't expect that she was humming a song, but this old man actually praised her wine again, so she also knew that this old man had a wide range of hobbies, and it seemed that he was also fond of wine, so she could be said to have given the right gift to her liking.

"I didn't buy it, I made it myself." Chi Yue replied with a smile.

This is indeed made by herself in her spare time, and she tried to make it step by step a few months ago according to the detailed steps in the Encyclopedia of Space Agricultural Knowledge, and made a total of more than ten jars and put them in the space for half a year.

Originally, she just made it, in addition to tasting it herself, she also planned to give the rest to Zhou's relatives and friends during the Chinese New Year. Zhou Shijue tasted good, better than what her father had drunk, and those sold outside.

Chi Yue knew that men were good at drinking two sips of wine, and they chose this wine for this gift, not wanting to fit people's taste buds.

"You did this?" Qu Lao only felt incredible, and looked Chi Yuelai up and down again, "You are such a young girl, where did you get such a good way to make wine?" ”

It is rare for Qu Lao to ask about other people's privacy, and the little guy on the side is also quite surprised, and he is more and more impressed by Chi Yue.

Chi Yue was in a hurry, and said with a smile: "This is also what I learned when I went south at the beginning of the year when I saw a family in the south making wine by himself." Qu Lao, you like to drink, next time I will bring two more jars. ”

As for what she added to the production process, she refused to reveal it to outsiders easily.

Qu Lao didn't ask any more questions, stroked his beard and smiled and said, "You doll is quite talented, no wonder..."

After a pause, he said no more.

"What's the wonder?" Chi Yue asked curiously.

Qu Lao got up, picked up the gourd silk that Chi Yue was going to give him on the table, and paced back with his hands behind his back, and said without looking back: "See you in a few days, Baihua County will see you in the arena." ”

Chi Yue originally wanted to know the deep meaning of his ability to speak, but now he heard that he was determined to help her and was willing to go out of the mountain for her.

She couldn't wait to tell Chi Xin and Xiaocui the good news.
