Where did you go? Why didn't you come back?

I wanted to ask her, but I couldn't.

"For youkai, the emotional world of human beings, like hallucinogens, is dangerous and full of temptations, and once you have tried the beauty of this world, you can never get out of it. "The words that Shou told me kept ringing in my head, and there are boundaries that I should not cross.

"I'm back. I feigned composure.

Tsubaki's face flashed with loss, but it was only for a moment, and soon she returned to her usual hippie smile, "Why do you look so awkward every time you wear a suit, it's very natural for you to look at people Guan Qing." ”

"I don't like him to be there for formal occasions as often. I said, "It's you, where did you find this dress?" ”

"I want you to take care of it," Tsubaki rolled his eyes, "Let's go Guan Qing, we won't wait for Ye Ke, you see that he looks like he's not interested in anything, he's really a boring person." After speaking, he didn't ask Guan Qing if he agreed or not, he picked up Guan Qing and walked out.

"Hey, hey, hey, you're going to go with Ye Ke, I have something to talk to the boss. "It's rare that Guan Qing didn't complain about me with Tsubaki today.

"You're not going to come here to work part-time, are you?" I said, but the old man didn't say it as he always did, and I realized that something might have happened, "What's wrong?"

"There is a little bit with the boss, a business business. Guan Qing has never been so vague.

I looked at the old man suspiciously.

"My private affairs, you don't meddle in them. As soon as the old man in formal clothes spoke, he was still the same unreasonable old man, "Tsubaki, take Ye Ke away, he looked at you just now with straight eyes." ”

Tsubaki was stunned for a moment, then smiled evilly, "Aren't you shocked by Tsubaki-sama's beauty?" ”

"You're thinking too much. "I really can't stand the old man, can you not say everything.

"Okay, you two get out of here, don't bother me here. The old man stood up and pushed us out of the door, "Don't come back until the concert is over." With that, the door slammed shut.

I was standing outside the door, not figuring out what was going on.

"What does Guan Qing want to talk to the boss?" I muttered to myself.

"I don't know, I feel like both of them are a little serious. Tsubaki leaned into my ear, "They won't be planning to get you away." ”

Her breath was so close to mine that I could see the fine fuzz on her cheeks.

"Ahem... How can it be. I left her a little and loosened my tie, "This thing is too uncomfortable, and I don't know how Guan Qing can stand it, no matter what they are, it's mysterious, let's go to Lao Cai first." ”

"Okay. ”

When we arrived at the old street, we saw that not only us, but all the people who received the invitation were dressed up to attend, and the vendors who usually looked ordinary were more temperamental than one after another, and many fresh faces sat on the makeshift concert stand one after another, they should be the family members of the vendors.

According to the process agreed with the company, tonight's event will start with a concert, and after all the pieces have been played, everyone will have dinner at the round table. Since Lao Cai is a public street, you can't block people passing by out, just inform them that all shops will be closed tonight, even so, there are still many curious passers-by who stop at Lao Cai, they must be wondering, what is this going to do today in the bustling old street on weekdays?

At 6:45 p.m., the concert audience was already full, and the old man and Guan Qing also came to the scene, most of whom were used to casual clothes on weekdays, and today's occasion made them generally a little restrained, not to mention the obscure program on the seats, and people began to whisper.

"What's on this list? ”

"Isn't the concert supposed to be in a concert hall?

"This thing is too tall... Sure enough, I shouldn't have come, I definitely don't understand. ”

Tsubaki also heard these discussions in a low voice, and gave me a worried look, and I nodded slightly, signaling that everything was okay with her.

At seven o'clock, the few young men I saw before appeared on the stage built, they also changed into tuxedos for the performance, their hair was neat, it was probably because of the first public exhibition, the two violinists were obviously very nervous, just the movement of walking was extremely stiff, the violist and the cellist were much more natural in comparison, but the fine sweat on the forehead still betrayed their hearts.

As the tuning began, I closed my eyes and double-checked the location of the sound gap, no problem, the eight moths were ready, and their respective positions surrounded the old street in the middle.

When I opened my eyes again, the bustling old street had fallen silent, and I couldn't hear anything other than my own heartbeat and violin tuning that shouldn't have been in the concert. I looked up, and there was an invisible transparent film above the old street, and the blue light in the film appeared from time to time.

I knew that the separation of the sound gap was completely done, and from this moment on, everyone could only hear the sound coming from the stage.

I'm not a musician, I don't know what the repertoire is on the program list, and I don't know how these children play, but Tsubaki's concentration, my unintentionally wet eyes, the more and more people who stopped, and the long-lasting applause after the end made this not-so-professional concert a legend of Lao Cai.

"The old street, which has always been noisy, quietly covered people's ears and gently opened people's hearts because they couldn't bear to disturb the beautiful music. "People who came to Lao Cai that day will still describe it this way many years later.

The concert was followed by a dinner party, where all the vendors and their families were invited, and the table was much richer than the usual snacks, and each family served their own specialty dishes, including a variety of kung fu dishes.

At first, everyone was relatively silent, even the family members had a short-term strangeness because it was difficult to see each other for a long time, but when the wine passed three rounds, all barriers were broken, laughing at the laughter, making trouble, Shou has been shuttling between different tables, skillfully greeting everyone, the monster who can adapt to human society so much, maybe it's the only one.

Halfway through the dinner, I found an excuse to take a break from the laughter, and while everything was fine at first, spending too much time in the crowd still made me anxious.

I found one of the eight sound gaps, "How's it going? Do you have a favorite sound?"

"A lot. "And there are also unexpected discoveries." ”

"How?"

"The children who play are really ordinary, and the music they perform under them is not attractive at all," the antennae of the moths flow with blue light like the film of the sky, which is a signal that they are controlling their voices, "but they have a very beautiful voice in their hearts, pure and resolute, full of vitality, which we did not expect, and in return for collecting their inner voices, we add the ability to calm the mood to their music." It's just one thing I'm curious about, what is this sound?"

"We humans should call this sound—" I thought back to the music, "dreams." ”
