Scarlet Smoke wants to make some breakthroughs. Just as she had tried to explain her repayment to Mo, she needed to break the strange atmosphere of the bamboo house lately.

In just a few days since she recovered from her injury, her relationship with Mo Fu has been good and bad, sometimes close and sometimes estranged. After Scarlet Smoke knew Mo Yan's thoughts, his feelings for him were even more complicated. Mo Yu is like a nobody, his eyes are still so warm, his movements are still so gentle, his smile is still so kind, and his posture is still so intimate.

It's just that he's becoming more and more silent.

The silence was so silent that Scarlet Smoke shuddered a little - he couldn't have been stimulated by anything, could he?

And it's getting more and more elusive.

The ghost didn't reach the point where Scarlet Smoke often couldn't see him.

Sometimes the two just silently eat a meal together, and in the blink of an eye when they just put down the chopsticks, Mo Yu disappeared as if out of thin air, his robe was flying, and the person was gone.

Sometimes Scarlet Smoke walks around the yard and pretends to casually peek towards his room, but to her disappointment, it's usually empty.

The empty bamboo house, only the sigh of one person lingered.

After such days lasted for a while, Scarlet Smoke wandered around the bamboo hut and stumbled upon a long, large black thing in the living room shrouded in an old flower cloth. Scarlet Smoke has a good look, and he consciously looks over and speculates that this is a guqin.

Scarlet Smoke was seriously ill before, and he was always bedridden, and when he got up occasionally, he would just hang around by the kitchen, or listen to the ink in the small courtyard, but he never took a good look at the rest of the small bamboo house. Like the furnishings in the living room and the bedroom are a little different, although it is also delicate and elegant, but because there is a large fish tank, the wall is hung with green waters and green mountains and rivers of splendid mountains and rivers, the whole pattern is suddenly much more open, not like the small jasper in the inner room, but a little more open and majestic.

In such an environment, it is not surprising that there is a guqin displayed in the corner of the living room.

Scarlet Smoke walked forward quickly in surprise, and as soon as he lifted the flower cloth, it was indeed a guqin.

The guqin is a little old, and the lacquer on it is a little off. But the surface of the piano was stained with a layer of dust, and the scarlet smoke carefully dusted off the dust, and the fingertips gently plucked on the guqin.

A melodious rhyme slowly flowed out of the guqin, and Scarlet Yan's heart trembled, and he lowered his head to carefully study the qin. The string she plucked was still trembling slightly, and the aftermath echoed endlessly.

Scarlet Smoke's eyes widened, at first in disbelief, but slowly, the surprise turned into a smile that hadn't appeared on her lips for a long time.

She hadn't touched the piano for a long time. When she was young, she also had to be specially instructed by the piano master, when the first emperor's favored concubine had a beautiful woman from Yuefu, good at playing the guqin, her fingertips were like fluttering butterflies, and the fabulous piano skills made the first emperor full of praise, called "Qin Concubine". Later, there was a "guqin fever" in the capital, men, women and children, no matter what the situation of the family, had to buy the guqin and prepare it at home, even if no one at home could play, they had to put on a grand appearance, and proudly told the visitors - "No, this is our family's guqin." It also shows how cultured, erudite and talented the family is.

Scarlet Smoke was also a rare talented woman when she was young, although she didn't dare to say that she was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but at least the first piano skills were not a problem. Back then, she was a bare hand, and she captured the sincerity of half of the young men in the capital with a song, which was one of the reasons why she was later looked down upon by Wei Xian.

Just now......

She lowered her head, her hand still slender and jade, but it was not as agile and free as before.

She closed her eyes intently, her hands bent into beautiful orchid fingers, and her mind remembered a song she had played before, her fingertips sliding rhythmically over the strings.

"Boom!"

The strings danced out of a discordant music, Scarlet frowned, looked down at the guqin, and secretly smiled bitterly in his heart.

Sure enough, she hadn't touched the piano for too long, and her skills were much rustier, and she used to have it at her fingertips, and she didn't have any music or joy, and such mistakes only happened occasionally in the month when she first learned the piano. Now she pinched her fingers and played, although the piano is still a guqin, but her mind is no longer as chic and casual as before, and her fingertips are not as good as before.

She plucked the strings again, and after a while, there was a staccato again, she was not discouraged, she simply let the noise fly, and played it a few times willfully, only to gradually find her feelings, the more she played, the smoother she played, the more comfortable she played, as if those past events were abandoned by her like smoke, and after enlightenment, only the heart was quiet, not bothered by the world.

After the song, she opened her eyes and was very satisfied with this guqin, thinking that if she had nothing to do in the future, it would be good to play the music and relax.

She got up, and as soon as she turned around, she met a deep smile in her eyes.

Scarlet Smoke clutched her chest, glancing at him with some grief and surprise: "When did you come?" I had absolutely no idea. ”

"I just came back, and I heard the sound of the piano, and I couldn't help it for a while, so I came over to have a look." Mo Yan smiled very kindly, he stroked the guqin, and sighed softly, "This guqin was not human in the past, and the pearl was covered with dust, and it has been abandoned in this corner and no one cares about it. Now that the Lord has finally been revealed, it is not in vain that it has been looking forward to it so much. ”

Scarlet Smoke was a little embarrassed by him: "I haven't played the piano for a long time, and now I'm rusty, and I only feel a little bit after playing a song a few times, but it has never been like this before." ”

"It's okay, once you are born and twice matured, besides, you have some talent, and it is only a matter of time to be proficient in piano skills." Mo Yan took the flower cloth and carefully covered it, "As long as you can relieve the troubles in your heart, it will be the glory of this guqin." ”

As soon as he turned around and saw Scarlet Smoke still staring at the guqin with a stupid gaze, he had a flash of inspiration and said with a smile: "I have a music score called "Zeng Xin Resentment", which is a unique book in the world, you have extraordinary piano skills, and you have heard the name of this song?" ”

"Naturally, I've heard of it!" When Scarlet Yan heard it, his eyes lit up a little, "That's the famous song of Xiao Ran, a famous pianist in the previous dynasty!" It is said that it is to commemorate his deceased wife, to express his deep love with his wife and his determination not to marry for life, which has broken the hearts of many young women who love him. That piece has a broad artistic conception and different circumstances, and there are very few people who can play the feelings in it, and it also set off a wave of 'Xiao Xuefever' at that time. That Xiao Ranchen has also become the ideal husband image of women in this dynasty, and has become the 'piano saint' and 'love saint' known to women and children. ”

"Not bad." Mo Yan glanced at her approvingly, "There is a lover in the world, and he is not the only one who knows Xiao Ran, but the realm of "Zeng Resentment" is something that few people can reach. ”

"I heard that the previous dynasty was destroyed, Xiao Ranchen committed suicide by throwing himself into the river with all the manuscripts in order to show his loyalty to the previous dynasty, how could you be his lonely?" Scarlet Smoke came back to her senses and asked suspiciously.

Mo Yan smiled: "Before he threw himself into the river, he left a box under the bed, but the box was also full of piano scores, which were discovered by later generations." It's a pity that at that time, the war was chaotic, everyone only cared about their own lives, and those scores were scattered and scattered, and in the end there was a lone book left. This score is the first draft of his "Resentment", although it is a little different from his later revisions, but there are always similarities. ”

"Do you have a first draft of him?" The scarlet smoke was even more pleasantly surprised, and his face was flushed, which was very pleasing to the eye in Mo Yan's eyes.

"I'll show you." Mo Fu returned to the study as he spoke, fumbled for a while, and pulled out an old score. The score was already yellowed, the paper was soft, and it felt like it would break if it was touched lightly, and the ink was very careful to turn the page between his fingers.

Scarlet Smoke couldn't wait to hold it in her hand, carefully turning a few pages, the familiar rhythm came into view, and the melody of "Zeng's Resentment" had echoed in her mind, melodious and tactful, deep and meaningful, she seemed to have touched the sorrow of the former master when facing his deceased wife in the face of nearly a hundred years, and indulged in the infinite sadness of the past.

"I can...... Do you want to play it? ”

"Naturally, you can."

Scarlet Smoke was pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly took the score to the guqin, sat down again, filtered those tunes over and over again in his mind, recalled the feeling of playing "Zeng Xin Resentment" back then, his fingertips trembled on the strings, and soon he changed on the guqin as if he had made up his mind, playing the music that he had in mind.

At this moment, "Zeng Xin's Resentment" is not only Xiao Ranchen's inseparability in the face of his deceased wife, but also a deep remembrance of Scarlet Smoke in the face of Wei Chimu's departing back. Her mind drifted farther and farther, and the guqin under her command changed melodiously in tune, sometimes singing in a low voice, which was when the two first met, and they were still ignorant in the face of their feelings when they were tempted and attracted to each other. Another change is a bit vast and a little ethereal, and it is their hard work to fight for love in adversity and hardship. The tone gradually transitioned, gloomy and pathetic, that is, the person stood in the rain, and she screamed hysterically under the pouring rain, which was the helplessness and heartache of their irreparable love......

She bounced and bounced, and before she knew it, she was already in tears. When she opened her eyes again, there was no longer that gloomy back, but there was a different kind of soft light, gently caressing her cheek and dropping a light kiss between her foreheads.

He said.

"Scarlet Smoke, I'm here, I've always been there."

……

In the next few days, Scarlet Smoke seemed to have found the backbone of life, and spent days and nights studying the piano score, which made Mo Yan a little worried, but seeing Scarlet Smoke's healthier and healthier complexion, he felt that he might be worried about the transition.

Of course, he was also happy to see Scarlet Smoke's energetic appearance. Both of them have studied music theory, and once they have studied the score, they have reached the same state of joy and forgetfulness. At this time, the scarlet smoke is just the scarlet smoke, and the ink is just the ink death, the two are chess opponents in the music world, pondering how to improve the score, sometimes echoing the voice, sometimes arguing fiercely, putting aside the love between men and women, but it seems more intimate.

The green bamboo is accompanied by the breeze, and in such a harmonious and quiet time, the calendar easily turns a new page......

Scarlet thought that if such a scene could be maintained forever, although there was some suspicion of escapism, at least it could make people indulge in it and enjoy it infinitely.

It's a pity that fate never let her go so easily.

Just when she let go of her guard and was ready to take on a new look, she really started to deal with the love-like and family-like friendship relationship between her and Mo Yu.

An uninvited guest, caught off guard, broke into the bamboo forest......
