Chapter 13: The Flute of the Moon
At night, the servants began to rest. After telling my mother about the urgency, I sneaked out.
The Su Mansion at night is really different from the daytime, very different. It's quiet, it's quiet, like a sleeping beast, maybe it's having opened its eyes and is staring around, and I'm walking in its gaze.
Thinking of this, I quickened my pace.
If it weren't for the half-moon above my head, I would have wanted to run back. But when he thought of being crushed by Su Jiyue and failed miserably, he gritted his teeth and endured!
I lifted the bucket, filled the well, and walked back to pour the water into the tank. The only way I can think of is this method, a way to kill two birds with one stone. I'm full, so my mother won't have to carry water tomorrow, how good!
When I poured the fifth bucket, I was so tired that I had to stop. In the quiet of the night, suddenly there was a flute sound from nowhere, I pricked up my ears and listened carefully, yes, it was the sound of the flute!
I wasn't shocked, I was just amazed.
The sound of the flute was faint, like the shadow of a tree on the ground at this time. Sometimes tactful, sometimes amorous, and the night is no longer quiet and terrifying, even the night wind is affectionately disturbing people's green silk.
I squinted at a rare view of the night. The moon is in the sky, and there are shadows on the earth, and the wind moves, and the shadows move. However, the sound of the flute suddenly fell low, and the wind stopped, and it was a thick whisper that could not be dissolved, which made people feel breathless.
I don't know how long I was stunned, but I only came back to my senses when a figure appeared in front of me.
Dressed in a coarse blue shirt, holding a jade flute.
The Pied Piper?
"Fetching water in the middle of the night?" The cool sound is like the cold dew in the night.
I looked at the over-fair-skinned teenager in front of me in a daze, and said in a trance: "Playing the flute in the middle of the night? β
"Strange girl." He laughed, "How come I haven't seen you?" β
"I've never seen you either." I looked at the man in front of me and thought he was a little strange, especially his flute, "Your flute is strange." β
He was stunned for a moment, and there was a hint of surprise on his face, "You know the rhythm?" β
I think he also asked a strange question, is it true that only people who understand the rhythm can evaluate the sound of the flute? I shook my head, "I don't understand, it's just that it feels strange, the front is very pleasant, how can the back make people feel depressed?" β
When he heard this, he laughed again, "Haha, I have met a confidant." Girl, if there is anything in the future, you can come to me directly. β
So that you are considered a confidant? I was surprised, looking for him? I looked at his coarse cloth again, and couldn't guess who he was.
"You are?"
"My name is Su Han."
Su Han? I looked at him in shock, I never thought he was Su Han! People who don't see during the day see see at night. "You and Su Yuyue are really different." If I thought about it, I inadvertently spit it out.
He was stunned for a moment, then reacted, and said with a smile: "Didn't you be bullied by her?" β
I nodded my head unwillingly, "I carried water just to win against her, and when I got my arms doneβ"
He interrupted me, "Haha, it's not easy to beat her. β
I know it's not easy, that's why I have to work harder. I couldn't figure out what he was laughing at.
"If you want to win a battle against a person who knows martial arts, it is far from enough to rely on arm strength alone."
"Then what more?"
"You also have to have higher martial arts than the other party." He glanced at me and said with some regret: "And martial arts are by no means something that can be learned overnight, at least seven years and eight years." β
After listening to his last sentence, I knew that it was over, and it was impossible to beat her. I sighed, and it seemed that I could only keep my money honestly.
"But...... If she wants to bully you again, you can tell me and I can help you. β
Help me?
I looked at him in disbelief, she was his sister, and we had only met once, "You don't help your sister but help me?" β
He stroked the flute, half joking and half serious, "In this world, nothing is unbreakable, just like this jade flute, it looks hard, but it can be shattered with just one blow." β
"Got it?" Those eyes looked at me, and suddenly they became confused.
I shook my head, because I really didn't understand.
"I've always only done what I think is right." He smiled bitterly and glanced around, "It's too late, go back quickly, otherwise Qinggu will lock the door." β
I patted the door of my head, but I forgot about Qinggu locking the door, smiled at him gratefully, and hurriedly left. Whether what he said is true or not, whether he will really help me or not, I am grateful to him. In this quiet night, it is not bad to hear such a nice flute.
By the way, I forgot to ask what the name of that song was.
Looking back, the figure was still standing in place, not knowing what he was thinking, and the bright moon above his head failed to illuminate him.
I suddenly realized that if someone supported me, I could walk with a straight waist. Although he is still afraid of Su Yunyue, he has a bottom in his heart.
A person who can play such a flute should be like his flute, and will never break his word easily.
But, but ...... When I actually met it, I involuntarily stroked it to my forehead, where it was smooth, and the scar fell off leaving only a faint mark.
"Yet, did you see my brother?"
I didn't know what was going on, but I nodded truthfully. And she frowned, and walked straight away from me, without even looking at me more.
Odd? I looked curiously at the departing light green figure, what happened to a hundred thousand urgent things? In normal times, she would never leave without fighting me for a few rounds.
He touched his forehead again and shook his head secretly. Why bother with my business, and besides, maybe even if I knew, how would I tell her. I hate to think about it.
Finally swept up today's fallen leaves, I wonder why this garden has endless fallen leaves every day, obviously swept clean yesterday, but this morning to see, it was yesterday again.
I really want to cut down those trees, or go up and pull out all the remaining leaves, why do you have so many leaves?
Rain?
I wipe my cheeks, water, it's raining? I looked up and saw that there was nothing but the thick leaves, which had fallen for so long, and there were still so many leaves.
Another drop, huh? It's raining! I sat up in shock. I was about to run back, but I didn't run a few steps before I felt that something was wrong. I circled around the unusually large tree, found a pebble, and when I found its place, I threw it out with all my might.
"Ahh
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
I stared wide-eyed at something that had fallen, and something stroked its ass and tried to stand up, but it shook and slammed into the ground. Next to him was a broken jar, and for a moment, the air was filled with a thick smell of alcohol.
Didn't see me, didn't see me...... I shuddered and stepped back.
"Is that you?" He frowned and held out his hand, "Help me up." β
I secretly regretted that if I had known, I wouldn't have thrown any pebbles, or smashed a bigger one at once. I cautiously reached over my hand, and for the sake of me not running away, he must have kicked me out of the house.
It's so heavy!
The weight of his body seemed to pass from that arm to me, and I couldn't breathe. Did he do it on purpose? It occurred to me that this possibility.
Butβ
After shaking it a few times, he let go of his hand and staggered forward.
"Young Master Su, are you okay?" I shouted to the figure.
"It's okay...... What can I do. β
I looked strangely at his figure as he walked farther and farther away, obviously there was something, and it seemed that he was really drunk. Suddenly, I felt a chill in my fingers, and when I looked down, there was a bright red stain - he was bleeding!
If you look up again, you can still see people.
