There are many musical instruments in the world, no one knows how many there are, it can be said that there are countless blowing, playing and singing, the reason why Liu Xiu chose the erhu is not how much he loves this instrument, but when he wants to make a musical instrument to adjust his life, a picture suddenly popped out of his head.

He himself forgot when he had ever seen a video screen playing on his mobile phone, it was an old man playing erhu in the park, Liu Xiu didn't understand music, he couldn't judge whether others played well or not, in short, he just felt that the erhu music played by the old man was very touching in his heart.

He can't say exactly how he feels, anyway, after that picture popped up in his mind, he wanted to make an erhu to play, anyway, he didn't know how to play musical instruments, everything started from scratch, everything was the same.

With such a thought, the question in front of Liu Xiu now is where to get an erhu?

Recalling the first two experiences in Aoyagi Town, Liu Xiu vaguely remembered that he seemed to pass by a musical instrument shop and glanced inside, but now he has an excellent memory and can roughly recall what instruments were in that musical instrument shop.

"There are a lot of wind instruments, flutes, snails, etc., and there are also a lot of playing instruments, similar to the guqin, single-string, double-string, multi-string, percussion instruments, drums, bells, ...... But it seems that there is really no such instrument as the erhu......"

Struggling to recall the pictures he had seen, Liu Xiu couldn't help frowning.

He doesn't know if there is such a musical instrument as the erhu in this world, at least he hasn't seen it yet, so the problem is, there is no ready-made one, what to do?

Even if there is a ready-made erhu instrument outside, such as today, I have traveled thousands of miles to buy an erhu, and it is better to get one by myself to pass the time......

Thinking like this, Liu Xiu decided to slowly build an erhu by herself, so she should kill time.

The question arises again, how does the erhu work?

is still the same sentence, Liu Xiu doesn't know any musical instruments, if it is a musical instrument like Xiao, he can probably get it out quickly if he makes some bamboo tinkering, but the erhu is not so simple.

It doesn't matter if you don't understand, haven't you ever eaten pork and never seen a pig run?

Seriously recalling the erhu he had seen, Liu Xiu recalled the details of the erhu little by little.

"There are many kinds of erhu, but no matter what kind of erhu it is, it's just a matter of tone, the structure is the same, there is a tube below, a vertical rod, there are strings, it seems to be two, and there are two tuning ones on the top, I don't know what it's called, by the way, there is also a drawn bow......"

After muttering to himself and roughly recalling the structure of the erhu, Liu Xiu began to recall the details again.

There seems to be no hard material requirements for the bow arm of the erhu, and bamboo, wood and metal seem to be fine? The key is the tightness of the bowstring, oh yes, what is the bowstring made of? Ponytail or something?

Then there is the tube under the erhu, it seems that one end is empty and the other end is closed, what material is the closed end used to cover it? Bamboo or wood?

Then there's the question of strings, two strings, are they the same size? Is that string metallic or what?

And the pole that was erected and the tuner......

The more I thought about it, the more I had a headache, Liu Xiu was a little annoyed, why didn't I read more information about erhu in the first place, I was blind at this time.

Of course, these are not problems, Liu Xiu's obsessive-compulsive disorder is here again, the more I don't know how to do the erhu, the more I have to make one, I don't know if it doesn't matter, I'll always do a little bit of experimentation, the structure is not complicated, the materials are estimated to be those, after 1,800 experiments, I don't believe that I can't make an erhu!

The stubbornness was committed, Liu Xiu couldn't be idle, and immediately decided to slowly make an erhu next.

I went back to the bamboo house, took a firewood knife and went out, cut down two old bamboos and a few small trees, and came back to ponder slowly, and then spent three days to make hundreds of large and small bamboo tubes, vertical poles, bow arms and other erhu parts according to the appearance in my memory.

He thinks so, after all, he has seen something like erhu, it is not created out of thin air, and it can always be sorted out by preparing more materials and experiments, anyway, he is bored, so he should pass the time.

Not to mention, when he is so busy, his life is quite fulfilling, and he is quiet in his own world and is not disturbed by external objects, and he is leisurely.

"Now I have a lot of various parts, both large and small, and the next thing is the assembly problem, this is not in a hurry, what I urgently need to solve at the moment is several other key things, the bowstring problem that is pulled, and the sealing material of the two strings and the barrel below......" Looking at a large number of messy parts, Liu Xiu muttered.

Because he didn't know the specific material problems, he had to experiment slowly, so his mind suddenly became active.

Pulled bowstring, which seems to be a horsetail? But where do I find Ponytail? Is it okay to replace it with other hairs? For example, the hair of other animals or some plant fibers, no matter what, my hair is long enough now, right? Well, give it a try.

Another is the question of two strings, what material is used? Silk thread? Steel strings? Is it the same size? The length is tight, but I don't have it, can I replace it with something? Well, forget about the silk thread for sewing clothes, there are no steel strings, and it seems that you have to find some tough plant fibers or animal tendons to experiment, anyway, it's probably that sound.

And then there's the sealing material of that tube, what kind of skin does it seem, what is it? Snakeskin? Cowhide? Deerskin? Whatever, I don't believe any animal skins to experiment......

After a messy thought in his heart, Liu Xiu, who couldn't stay idle, began to act again, and rushed into the jungle with a firewood knife.

For most of the next half a month, a large area centered on the bamboo building can be described as chickens flying and dogs jumping, anyway, as long as Liu Xiu thinks it is a material that can be experimented, he will not let it go.

Because it is a heavy snow covering the mountain, this undoubtedly brought great trouble to his journey to find materials, fortunately, Liu Xiu's five senses are strong, many hibernating snakes have been pulled out by him, a few blind bears have also suffered, and there are snow pits to find tough rattan plants to take fiber, in short, he is very busy.

After collecting materials for half a month, there was a lot of mess, and his bamboo building was almost unable to fit, and it took two more days to process the materials, and finally Liu Xiucai began to assemble the experimental problems.

This kind of purposeful but incomprehensible experiment can be imagined how complicated it is, and Liu Xiu persevered in experimenting over and over again.

For another month, with his bamboo building as the center, all kinds of noises were constantly and extremely harsh, and he was not worried about disturbing the people, and he enjoyed himself.

After working in this world for almost two months, his first erhu is finally freshly baked.

The main structure of the erhu is made of bamboo, and he experimented with dozens of kinds of hair or plant fibers with the bowstring, but he was not satisfied, and finally replaced it with a waist-length strand of his own hair.

Not to mention, Liu Xiu's physique is inhuman, even the hair is extraordinary, a single hair is comparable to a steel wire, soft and tough, and then he realized that it is no wonder that his hair has not been damaged in the slightest when he breaks through the speed of sound.

The second is the two strings of the erhu, the final experimental result is one large and one small, it is difficult to distinguish if you don't pay attention, dozens of materials are screened, he chose a kind of tendon that he got from the hibernation snake that he gouged out of the geography, this kind of tendon is very thin after processing, and tough, elastic is also good, the sound of pulling out is not much different from the sound of the erhu in Liu Xiu's memory.

For this reason, he went to find this kind of snake and killed more than a dozen of them for spare use......

Finally, the skin closed by the erhu bamboo tube, the snake skin has the best effect.

In short, under the perseverance of his obsessive-compulsive disorder, after countless experiments, as long as two months in this world, an erhu was born in his hands, the effect is unsatisfactory, anyway, he is satisfied.

It will be on it, and in the future, when you encounter better materials, you will slowly experiment and replace them.

Looking at the erhu in his hand, which was not very beautiful, Liu Xiu subconsciously looked in the direction of the lake, and pondered in his heart, the closed skin of the erhu is snake skin, and the string is snake tendons, if you use the ...... on your neighbor's body

Forget it, there are no ifs, don't even think about it!

It is worth mentioning that now that the lake has been completely frozen, Liu Xiu has not seen his neighbor for a long time, and he estimates that his neighbor should be hibernating.

Anyway, your neighbor is no longer a snake in the ordinary sense, do you need to hibernate?

I didn't plan to ask, but now that the erhu is ready, the next step is to learn how to play beautiful music.

"Any music should be played with an erhu, right? But it depends on the level, so as a beginner, what song do I choose? ”

His mind flickered, Liu Xiu's memory was very good, and he could recall the general melody of almost all the songs in his memory.

"Erquan Yingyue is too sad, the original scenery of the hometown is not suitable, it is easy to be homesick, looking for troubles, men should be self-reliant? Forget it, what are you doing with all that enthusiasm......"

After thinking about it, Liu Xiu thought that he had come to this world inexplicably, and it was simply a myth, so he used the song mythology as his beginner's practice goal.

With an idea, Liu Xiu immediately came to the second floor of the bamboo building and sat down, put the erhu on his legs, closed his eyes and pretended to be self-absorbed and began to pull the erhu.

Squeaky rattle rattle......

When he started to pull the erhu, the sound that appeared was pulled out by himself, and Liu Xiu gasped in his ears.

What kind of magic sound is this? It's harsher than a fingernail scraping glass!

Forget it, it's my own anyway, it doesn't matter, beginners, it's like this, it will slowly get better in the future.

Liu Xiu, who didn't believe in evil, muttered in his mouth, and then slowly pulled the erhu to find a feeling, first figured out the sound and then pondered the problem of pulling out beautiful music.

From this day on, the harsh noise will be transmitted wherever Liu Xiu goes, with him as the center, it is simply impossible for people and gods to approach, in the face of the magic sound canned ears that make people's scalp tingle, who can withstand it?

On the third day when Liu Xiu officially started to learn to play erhu, his neighbor, who hadn't shown up for a long time, appeared!

Boom broke through the ice on the lake, and in the ice and snow flying all over the sky, the giant python stretched out half of its body and stared at Liu Xiu, that gaze seemed to say Don't go too far, I have endured you for a long time, you don't rest, others still rest!

Faced with the unfriendly eyes of his neighbors, Liu Xiu had to shrink his neck, smile brightly, and try to practice away from the lake.

"Isn't it just a little harsh, why didn't you run out to warn me? Can you hear me? Aren't all snakes hearing-retarded? What are you staring at, I will pull out beautiful music in the future, and I won't listen to it to you if you want to......"
