Chapter 17: Solo String Exercise

Sending Han Xue away, Ye Chong bit his finger, and because of the excessive force, he screamed in pain, only then did he believe that everything that happened tonight was true, and his heart was full of excitement and joy, and he felt that everything in heaven and earth was extremely beautiful, and he couldn't help but shout again.

It was three or four o'clock in the morning, and the east was already slightly white.

Ye Chong was very excited, along the campus path, back to Baicao Garden, saw Mr. Guqin sitting under the bamboo pavilion and stroked the qin, talking about the song "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix", he tasted love in the world for the first time, and his heart was happy and sweet, so he shook his head and beat the beat with the rhyme, as if he was drunk, he couldn't tell where was heaven and where was earth?

The sound of the piano is tinkling, like a pair of lovers' warm veins, whispering, low and tactful, and compassionate. Gradually, a wisp of sorrow was rubbed into the sound of the piano, and although the sorrow was fine, it always echoed between the rhymes of the piano, which seemed quite discordant.

Ye Chong slowly opened his eyes, and saw that Mr. Guqin's eyes were slightly closed, his brows were tense and relaxed, and his face was happy and worried, as if he was recalling a past event that made him unforgettable, and his heart was full of tenderness and joy.

Gradually, the sound of the piano became heavy and suffocated, the tenderness gradually disappeared, the sorrow increased suddenly, the twilight condensed, and the clouds of sorrow arose, and I felt lonely and miserable in my heart, and I couldn't help but cry loudly.

Suddenly, the sound of the piano sounded violently, like a lightning bolt piercing the sky, and in an instant, the sand and rocks flew away, and the wind and thunder were fierce.

Mr. Guqin was even more tearful, his heart was excited, a pair of hands or pick or twist, or wipe or pluck, the sound of the piano was short and violent, chaotic and mixed, like a storm, suddenly three booms, three strings were broken.

Ye Chong couldn't help but be frightened when he saw that his eyebrows were furrowed, his eyes were fierce, as if he wanted to spew flames, and he stopped shouting at the moment, but Mr. Guqin still fought hard as if he hadn't heard it.

Although the strings were broken three times, not half a syllable was missing from the sound.

Ye Chong fixed his eyes and looked, but saw that Mr. Guqin was playing rapidly, with his left hand or pulling or putting the remaining strings, to make up for the sound of the piano, he couldn't help but be shocked, I didn't expect Mr. Guqin's piano skills to be so high, throughout ancient and modern China and foreign countries, it seems that only the Italian "piano demon" Paganini can reach such a profound realm.

Mr. Guqin must be scattered and crazy, his hands are restrained and frustrated, swaying at will, slow and urgent, light and heavy, and the aftertaste is endless.

There were three more rapid sounds, there was only one string left, Mr. Guqin's right hand turned over, his left hand lifted lightly, and the body of the piano jumped and hung in the air, but I heard a sharp and urgent sound, and the sound was as thin as a hair and went straight to the sky, and it was endless for a long time.

Suddenly, there was a loud noise, as if it fell from the sky, and suddenly the sky collapsed, the earth collapsed, and the mountains were destroyed, and for a while, the waves were rushing and the tide was surging.

Mr. Guqin carried a single string by himself, pushed and pulled with his left hand, and twisted and played with his right hand, which was swift and incoherent, until the sky and earth turned into an ocean, and then slowly stopped.

Hearing this piece of piano sound, Ye Chong was stunned, his tongue was difficult, his heart was pounding, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.

Mr. Guqin was silent for a long time, and finally sighed and muttered: "The jade bone is a melancholy mist, and the ice posture has its own fairy wind. When the sea fairy is sent to explore the Fang Cong. Hanging upside down green-haired phoenix. The plain face is turned into powder, and the lip red does not fade after washing makeup. Gao Qing has been chasing the clouds, not dreaming with pear blossoms. ”

This is a poem by Su Shi, a great writer of the Song Dynasty, to mourn the deceased concubine Chaoyun. Chao Yunyuan is twenty or thirty years younger than Su Shi, but she is smart and beautiful, and she is deeply appreciated by Su Shi, and she is a confidante who compares her to "Heavenly Maiden Vimo". Qin Guan also wrote a poem saying that she was as beautiful as a spring garden and her eyes were like the morning light.

Ye Chong saw that Mr. Guqin had to be scattered and sad, and tears were dripping in his eyes, and he couldn't help but feel sorry in his heart. Thinking that he is nearly sixty years old and lives here alone, he must feel desolate every festival. Is it true that his wife has died, as the poem says, but why is his piano sound not only sad and sorrowful, but also a fierce and domineering killing sound?

Mr. Guqin groaned, looked up at the sky, and was stunned. After a while, he said slowly: "Little brother Ye Chong, when I saw you two little lovers sweet and sweet, I couldn't help but think of my ...... Wife, she is as beautiful and sweet as your Han Xue. ”

The four words "Your Han Xue" sounded like a heavenly sound to Ye Chong, as if he had never heard any four words so melodious in his life, and he couldn't help but feel a little intoxicated.

Mr. Guqin continued: "It's a pity that twenty years ago, she ...... In order to save me, she was victimized by a traitor, and unfortunately fell into a deep cliff, and since then she has died of incense and jade, separated from my yin and yang...... Over the years, my soul has been tied to my dreams, and it is only one of her...... Every full moon night, a song "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix" will be played to relieve the pain of lovesickness. ”

Speaking of this, Mr. Guqin sighed and continued: "That was the song we played when we first met, and the scene at that time is still vivid, but now the sound of the piano is still there, and the beauty is gone, but she can no longer hear it......" Mr. Guqin's voice choked up, and he couldn't go on anymore.

Ye Chong couldn't help but sigh when he heard that his wife had fallen into a deep cliff by a traitor, and he was frightened and heartbroken. It was expected that Mr. Guqin must have cried loudly at the deep cliff at that time, and he was overwhelmed with grief. Feeling that there are no more tragic things in the world than this, I can't help but deeply regret it, thinking that Han Xue must be lying on the bed in a good way at this time, and there is a faint burst of warmth in my heart, and I am silently grateful for God's favor.

Thinking about the loss of his lover by Mr. Guqin, the sadness and depression in his heart are difficult to declare, so the sound of the killing that destroyed the ancient and the heavens and the Jedi just now can naturally be understood. Now that "the sound of the piano is still there, and the beauty is gone", how can it not make people feel desolate and broken, and immediately asked hatefully: "Has that villain been caught?

Mr. Guqin looked indignant, "hummed" and said: "One day, I will slash this thief!" After a while, he said: "Mengli, maybe this day is not far away, as soon as the big thing happens, I will accompany you......" Mr. Guqin smiled, and his voice was soft, as if his wife was in front of his eyes.

Ye Chong thought to himself: "It turns out that his wife's name is Meng Li, and she must be a dignified and virtuous beautiful woman." Then he said, "Strike this thief...... I'm here to accompany you" Yunyun, couldn't help but worry secretly: "That murderer can push his Mengli off the cliff, he is a fierce and vicious villain, Mr. Guqin's right foot has been broken, he is old and frail, how can he be his opponent?"

Without thinking about it at the moment, he persuaded softly: "Mr. Guqin, after you kill that villain, you must not commit suicide to die, I am afraid that you will go to hell, but that fairy-like sister Mengli must have gone to heaven, she misses it day and night, and looks forward to it, but I am afraid that I will never be able to hope for you." ”

Ye Chong's left sentence "Sister Mengli" and the right sentence "Sister Mengli" were called very smoothly, completely forgetting the seniority, even if this "Mengli" sister is still alive now, she will be at least forty or fifty years old, I am afraid that the voice of the aunt is still a little insufficient, but his heart is beautiful, and he feels that this fairy sister should be like his sister Han Xue, forever young and beautiful.

Mr. Guqin naturally didn't think there was anything wrong with this "Sister Mengli", in fact, in the eyes of his lover, the once unforgettable lover seems to be as old as ever, and he has never aged a little. When I heard him say, "I want to go to hell," I couldn't help but be shocked, could it be that after the great revenge was avenged, I would have to live alone in the world?

Over the years, he just had this idea: "As soon as the big thing happens, I will accompany you." It is the support of such a belief that has allowed him to live alone in grief and misery to this day, and now let him change his original intention and accept another possibility, for a while, he is quite at a loss. I couldn't help but ask, "What about ...... So what's that going to be?"

Although Ye Chong and this old man have been together for a short time, deep down in their hearts, they have already recognized him as a friend who has forgotten their years, so he naturally doesn't want him to leave so suddenly, so he immediately had an idea and replied: "The old man is talented and quick-witted, it is better to give one article every day, dedicated to Sister Mengli, he will meet in heaven every day, she reads your chapter words and sentences, and knows that you are thinking about her day and night, and it is not in vain that she is on the shore of heaven. As soon as the words fell, I saw a tear from the corner of Mr. Guqin's eyes, dissipating into his face that was already blurred with tears, and his heart couldn't help but feel sad.

Mr. Guqin muttered: "That's it, that's it." ”

Ye Chong was overjoyed when he saw that he had accepted his suggestion and knew that he was determined to die, and said: "If you can add icing on the cake and play a guitar song, I think that Sister Mengli must be full of tears and infinite joy." ”

The reason why Ye Chong suggested that he learn the guitar was because Mr. Guqin must play "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix" when he plays the guqin, and playing "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix" will inevitably arouse his infinite attachment to Sister Mengli, which can only make him even more boring and obsessed with death.

Mr. Guqin seemed to be very excited, and said, "Okay, you can teach me now, and I will play it to her tomorrow." ”

Ye Chong felt funny and thought, "Mr. Guqin is also too anxious, he is like a child." But it was not good to discourage him, so he immediately picked up the guitar and taught it ding-dong.
