Chapter 18 Learning the Piano
Ye Chong still plays the song "Dream Forest", he originally loved and hated this piece of music, loved the bold and extraordinary imagination of his score, and hated naturally his complicated and difficult interpretation skills.
He often boasted of being a guitar genius in front of his classmates, and although it was a joke, he was also truly accomplished, and it often took him only three or four days to master a piece that took him months to become proficient. However, this song "Dream Forest", in his six years of learning the piano, took up more than half a year, and its difficulty can be imagined.
Now that he is in love with Han Xue because of this piano song, when he plays her again, there is another beautiful scenery, as if Han Xue is sitting in front of him, holding his cheeks with his hands and listening quietly, the word "hate" of "both love and hate" is no longer mentioned.
After a piece of piano, Ye Chong was still intoxicated, immersed in the graceful music.
Mr. Guqin said: "This piece is fresh and pure, beautiful and refined, and it is really different from the lyre. ”
Ye Chong was very happy when he heard his appreciation, and thought: "Although Mr. Guqin's attainments in the lyre have reached the pinnacle, he has a single dabbling in the field of music, and this Western music must be a new world for him." Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel secretly proud.
I saw Mr. Guqin think for a moment and muttered: "Although the guitar is exquisite, it is not difficult, so I'll try it." ”
Ye Chong couldn't help but laugh dumbly when he heard Mr. Guqin say this, and thought: "This old man doesn't know the difficulty of playing the guitar, so he can't blame him, it's not difficult, I'll know it later, and I don't have to argue with him." He reached out and handed over the guitar.
Mr. Guqin did not answer the piano, but straightened his body, his eyes were slightly closed, and he sat cross-legged on the boulder, as if he had entered meditation.
Ye Chong was slightly surprised, but when he thought about it, it became clear that the old man was full of grief and anger just now, his mind was agitated, and he was exhausted, and he must be tired. Seeing that his beard was scattered and his temples were gray, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and thought: "One day, Han Xue and I will also grow old like him." "I feel that life is like a white horse passing through a gap, with a flick of a finger, and it will eventually return to dust after a hundred years, which is inevitably a little sad.
He and Han Xue fell in love for the first time, and naturally hoped that life would grow as long as possible, and it was best to be like a slave praising the emperor, able to "Long live, long live, long live!"
Ye Chong thought so crankily, and suddenly felt that the scene in front of him was like a liquid mercury screen, and it actually rippled slightly, spreading out in a circle in four directions, up and down, left and right. I didn't feel slightly stunned, and now I looked at the surrounding scenery carefully, and saw Mr. Guqin sitting on the boulder with his eyes closed, surrounded by green bamboos and heavy flower shadows, and there was no abnormality. Only then did I realize that it might be because I hadn't slept all night, and my mind was a little dazed, and I was dazzled and had a delusion. couldn't help but yawn, followed the appearance of Mr. Guqin, closed his eyes and recuperated.
After a while, he felt that the wound on his face was slightly itchy, so he reached out and scratched it, thinking: "The wound on Han Xue's neck should also be itchy at this time, right?" Thinking that he and Han Xue were injured at the same time, and they were experiencing joys and hardships together at this time, their hearts were sweet, and they no longer held grudges against that Miss Long, but had a trace of gratitude.
I also think that Mr. Guqin's wife is called Meng Li, so he is naturally not Xianzu Liao Bufan, so ...... Who is he? Why did that villain push Sister Mengli off the cliff? Listening to Mr. Guqin, that villain seems to be still at large, and he can't help but feel a little afraid, and he feels that he must be careful when dating Han Xue in the future, in case he meets that villain, it will be terrible. By the way, it's best to stay away from the cliffs, just in case.
He was thinking of this when he suddenly felt someone poke him in the back of the neck, and he was so frightened that he almost lost his voice.
He was furious in the bottom of his heart, and he didn't dare to look back, so he trembled and reached out to touch it, and found that it was actually a bamboo branch swinging obliquely on his head, so he relieved his heart.
Looking back, I couldn't help but be shocked, it turned out that around the empty boulder, many bamboo branches had been picked out horizontally and vertically. That bamboo forest, which was originally more than a meter away from the boulder, suddenly grew so luxuriantly that it extended to the boulder?
He was surprised, so he wanted to jump off the boulder to find out, stretched his legs down, but found that the boulder was sparsely covered with grass, this surprise was even worse, you must know that the ground of the bamboo pavilion is paved with bluestone, only where it meets with the boulder, only faintly exposed some soil, but usually smooth and tidy and not barren, why suddenly there are so many weeds, it is really incredible.
Ye Chong was surprised inexplicably, so he wanted to wake up the old man to explore together, but after screaming twice, the old man seemed to be asleep and remained motionless, and there was a faint sense of ominousness in his heart.
I wanted to scream again, but after thinking about it, this old man was very old, and he was so emotionally agitated just now that he finally fell asleep, so let him rest for a while, anyway, it's not too late to ask when he wakes up later.
Immediately, he took away the guqin, lay down on the "stone table", pillowed his hands, closed his eyes and meditated, but the wounds on his face and head were always itchy, which made it difficult for him to calm down.
After about an hour or so, I only heard Mr. Guqin give a long "hum", and seemed to stretch his waist and wake up.
At this time, the sky was already bright, Ye Chong jumped up, and was about to tell him about the adventure just now, but found that the surrounding scenery was the same as before, and couldn't help but be surprised and confused, and secretly thought: "Could it be just a dream just now?"
I saw that Mr. Guqin woke up, and it seemed that his spirit was not as good as before, his eyes were dull, and he said weakly: "I underestimate this six-string guitar, it's really not easy to learn, I'll play it now, can you see it?"
Ye Chong heard Mr. Guqin speak like this, not only did he feel funny, but he was very sad, and thought: "This old man is very affectionate and sexual, and he misses Sister Mengli hard, and his mood fluctuated again last night, and he is confused at this time." He didn't break it at the moment, and changed the topic: "Old man, it's not a day's work to learn that guitar, and when you learn it well in the future, it's not too late to play it to me slowly, so you should go back to the house and have a good rest." ”
Mr. Guqin smiled slightly, picked up the guitar, tuned the strings a few times, and then played it with a ding-dong dong, which was the song "Dream Forest".
Ye Chong's surprise was even more extraordinary, he thought that Mr. Guqin was confused for a while, so he shouted to play the guitar without his own strength, but he knew that he was lucky, wielding the ball with his hand, slipping and hooking points, pushing and sweeping and cutting, all of which were just right, as if he had worked hard for several years, he couldn't help but have a confused mind, and it was hard to believe that there was such a strange thing in the world.
After a piece of piano, Mr. Guqin twisted his beard and smiled, looking satisfied.
Ye Chong saw that he seemed to be smiling very cunningly, and suddenly realized, he couldn't help laughing, and secretly scolded himself in his heart for being confused, and he was fooled by this seemingly simple Mr. Guqin.
Mr. Guqin was slightly surprised when he saw Ye Chong laughing and tears, and asked with a frown: "Why is the little brother laughing so heartily? Could it be that I am playing something wrong?"
Seeing his solemn expression, Ye Chong laughed even harder, and said, "You old liar, you acted so similarly, blinded me and Han Xue." ”
Mr. Guqin blinked, seemed a little confused, and asked blankly, "Blinded?
Ye Chong pointed at him and smiled: "If you didn't know how to play the guitar a long time ago, how could you play it so well? ”
Mr. Guqin also laughed when he heard him say this.
After laughing, he pondered for a while, and asked slowly: "Little brother, I heard that you don't know how to play football at all, but you turned the tide at the last moment of this football game, didn't you?"
Ye Chong scratched the back of his head and said with a smile: "Yes, I don't know how to do it, it's really weird!"
Mr. Guqin said: "Yes, there are some things in the world that are difficult to understand, like a football that always hits your head and I suddenly play the guitar. ”
Ye Chong was stunned and asked, "You really haven't played the guitar before?"
Mr. Guqin looked up into the distance, pondered for a while, and said slowly: "Actually, learning things is not as difficult as you think, sometimes you can just think about it." ”
Ye Chong saw that his expression was solemn, not as if he was joking, and his will was a little shaken.
He has always liked to think wildly, and even if it is what others think is impossible, he will try it until it is verified.
Today, when I saw Mr. Guqin suddenly learn to play the guitar, although I didn't believe it, his sentence "There are some things in the world that are difficult for people to understand" touched me greatly, and all kinds of strange events in the past came to my heart: "Is there really some things in this world that are difficult for people to understand?" I couldn't help but ask: "According to you, these things didn't happen for no reason?"
Mr. Guqin said, "Do you think something will happen for no reason?"
Ye Chong was very excited when he heard him say this, as if the mystery that had plagued him for many days was about to be solved, and he asked eagerly: "Then why do you say that football always smashes my head?"
Mr. Guqin turned his head to look at him, shook his head and said, "This ...... I don't know that. ”
Ye Chong was very disappointed, as if he saw a spark in the vast darkness, but it suddenly went out, sighed softly, and said, "I didn't expect to get an answer. ”
Mr. Guqin was silent for a while, and then said, "But I know why I can play the piano all of a sudden." ”
Ye Chong became excited again and asked, "Why?" Although Ye Chong didn't believe that Mr. Guqin hadn't played the guitar, he really wanted to get a surprising answer.
I only heard Mr. Guqin reply: "I said it, just think about some things." ”
Ye Chong was very surprised and asked, "How is this possible?"
Mr. Guqin replied: "What's impossible about this, don't we all think about things before we do them? Didn't the ancient sages and even our elders always tell us to 'think twice before doing everything.'"
Ye Chong was silent, but thought in his heart, "What's so strange about that?"
I only heard Mr. Guqin say: "I guess you may not understand what I said this, you must be thinking, 'What's so strange about that?'" Speaking of this, Mr. Guqin smiled, turned his head to look at him, and continued: "Do you remember Mr. Newton's 'uniform linear motion' experiment? He first put the roller on a rough inclined plane, and the roller only rolled a few meters away, and then he gradually reduced the friction of the inclined plane, and the roller rolled farther and farther. When the friction decreases to zero, the roller will continue to move in a straight line at a constant speed and never stop. In fact, the same is true of the relationship between thinking and doing. ”
Regarding the uniform linear motion test, Ye Chong already knew about it, and he didn't feel anything, but he heard him call Newton "sir", which was quite novel and funny, but when he talked about "In fact, the relationship between thinking and action is the same", a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in his mind as if he had an understanding.
Just listen to Mr. Guqin continue: "Generally speaking, we all have this experience, the longer we think, the higher the success rate of doing things. We might as well quantify it: if we think seriously for one minute, we have to do it 50 times to get it right, then we think for two minutes, maybe 49 times, we can do it well, if we think for three minutes, we can do it 47 times, and so on, maybe we think for 50 minutes, and we can do it well. In his own eyes, this seems to be nothing, but in the eyes of others, it is a big thing that shocks him and is unbelievable. Because all of a sudden, you're a self-learner. ”
When Ye Chong heard this, he suddenly felt that he had glimpsed a new world that had never been seen before, and he couldn't help but tremble all over his body and was very excited, and asked, "Yi...... According to you, no matter what you do, if you think about it carefully, you will ...... Will it be?" Ye Chong was so excited that even his voice trembled.
