Chapter 4 (II) Listening to the heart's song is full of sorrow

Li Heng suddenly saw that Lu Ya's eyes were red, as if he had cried, so he asked viciously, "Why are you crying? Do you know him?"

Lu Ya was not in a hurry, shook his head and said: "I don't want to come, I was scolded by the eldest lady for a few words, thinking that I was alone, and the eldest lady didn't know how to feel sorry for the next person, I am afraid that there will be no good life in the future, so I am sad, so I cried, you are such a big person and still scare me such a little girl, this old man refuses to eat, wait for the eldest lady to beat me, you are the eldest master, but you have to help me plead." ”

Li Heng laughed when he heard it, thinking that this girl was sensible, and said, "Don't worry, I'll help you say a few good words later, so that she won't scold you anymore." "No more suspicion at the moment.

Wen Tianxiang and Deng Yan couldn't help but be stunned, and at the same time thought to themselves: Lu Ya, this kid is so clever, he knows how to adapt at a young age. The two of them also put their hearts down.

At this time, Li Heng saw a bowl of porridge next to Wen Tianxiang, and just now he heard what Lu Ya said clearly, so he believed what Lu Ya said even more, and when he saw that the porridge was not moving, he asked: "Don't you eat it again?" Black Mountain, Black Tower, feed him!"

Black Mountain and Heita immediately stepped forward, pried Wen Tianxiang's mouth open, and poured a bowl of porridge into it raw, Wen Tianxiang was worried that Lu Ya was young, and he was afraid that something would go wrong if he asked again, so he stopped struggling, and ate all the porridge, so that his face was full of soup.

"What are you doing?" At this time, he didn't see Lu Ya to the south, so he came out to look for it, and when he saw that several people were there, he couldn't help but ask.

"It's nothing," Li Heng saw that she was the daughter of Boyan, so he said good things for Lu Ya: "I heard that you scolded this little girl, and you want her to serve you on the way, so you forgive her, this little girl is quite pitiful." ”

Xiang Nan didn't know what was going on in Lu Dao, looked behind Li Heng, and saw that Lu Ya was squeezing his eyebrows there, knowing that there was something wrong with Lu Dao, so he stepped forward and grabbed Lu Ya: "Lu Ya, how can you sue me? Forget it, for the sake of Lord Li's face, I will spare you today." She is also very clever, although she doesn't know what tricks Lu Ya is doing, but she still helps Lu Ya fulfill this lie.

Lu Ya pretended to be aggrieved and knelt down to salute: "Thank you, Miss." ”

Li Heng saw that the two were reconciled, and this murderous demon king thought that he had done a great deed, and he couldn't help but be happy. Lu Ya and Xiang Nan's children felt funny and funny, and they also looked at each other and smiled, which added a bit of intimacy.

After a while, Boyan led dozens of other subordinates dressed as merchants and left the temple, ready to leave.

Xiang Nan took the time to ask Lu Ya what happened just now, Lu Ya only said I don't want to go to Dadu, I am afraid that you will punish me, although Xiang Nan does not believe it completely, but he will no longer delve into it.

Boyan, Li Heng, Heishan, and Heita were all generals and rode on horseback; Wen Tianxiang changed carriages and sat with Deng Yan; and Lu Ya rode in the same car with Xiang Nan.

Before leaving, Lu Ya deliberately begged to go south, knelt down in the direction of the sea, hurriedly kowtowed three times, and prayed in his heart: I don't know what the name of this temple is, but the master of the temple and the monks of the temple have died because of me, and I hope you will go to the west as soon as possible. I thought in my heart: Uncle Wen said that even if I have a wish, it will be difficult to realize it, but I hope that my wish can be realized.

After urging south for a long time, he got into the car.

After getting into the car, Xiang Nan took his hand and asked, "What are you worshipping?"

Lu Ya did not hide it: "Those monks died very unjustly, and I felt sad, so I worshipped." ”

Xiang Nan also said: "I also think that Li Heng shouldn't be, but my father doesn't care at all, otherwise those monks wouldn't have died." ”

Lu Ya said: "I think they are so pitiful. I couldn't help but feel sad in my heart, and at the same time I thought of my parents, and my expression was very gloomy.

Xiang Nan said: "Don't be sad, I'll play a piece of music to relieve your boredom, I don't play the piano for others easily." ”

Lu Ya didn't say anything, Xiang Nan had already taken out a piano from under the seat, and asked Lu Ya, "Do you know?"

Lu Ya saw that there was a horse's head on the piano, exquisitely carved and lifelike, with only two strings, which he had never seen before, so he shook his head.

Xiang Nandao: "This is called the horse head qin." This piano has a history. ”

Lu Ya asked, "What is the origin?"

Xiang Nandao: "I'll tell you a story......"

Lu Ya asked, "Don't you play the piano?"

Xiang Nan slapped him: "It's better to pull it after speaking, silly girl." ”

Lu Ya stopped making a sound, and sighed in his heart that he was unlucky, why did he become a stupid girl? I am a man, you are a stupid girl.

Xiang Nan sorted out his thoughts, and told him the story of the horse-head qin: legend has it that the horse-head qin was made by a little shepherd boy named Su He on the grassland.

One day, Su He went out to herd sheep, and when he came back, he saved a little white horse, which was snow-white, beautiful and strong, and Su He loved it very much. Su He gave it a name, Xiaobai.

Xiaobai grew up day by day under Su He's care.

One spring, news came from the grassland that the prince was going to hold a horse race in the lama temple, because the prince's daughter wanted to choose the best rider to be her husband, and whoever won the first place would marry his daughter to whomever he wanted. Su He also heard the news and led the little white horse to participate in the competition, and won the first place.

When the prince saw it, the one who ran first turned out to be a poor herdsman. He changed his mind and didn't mention the matter of recruiting relatives, and said unreasonably: "I'll give you three big ingots, leave the horse for me, and go back quickly!"

Su He was very annoyed when he heard this, so he said: "I'm here to race horses, not to sell horses." ”

When the prince heard that he was unreasonable, he asked someone to beat him up, and took Xiaobai away, and didn't give him a penny.

Su He was rescued by relatives and friends, recuperated for a few days, and gradually recovered. One night, Su He was about to fall asleep when he suddenly heard a knock at the door. Pushing the door open, I saw that it was Xiaobai! It was hit by seven or eight sharp arrows, and it was sweating.

Su He gritted his teeth, endured the pain in his heart, and pulled out the arrow from the horse. Blood flowed out of the wound like a spring. The horse succumbed to his injuries and died the next day.

It turned out that the prince was very happy because he got a good horse, so he chose an auspicious day, set up a banquet, and invited relatives and friends to celebrate. He wanted to show his good horse in front of people, so he stepped on the back of the horse to show off, but before he could sit down, the white horse kicked him violently, and threw him headlong.

Xiaobai struggled to get rid of the thick rope and rushed through the crowd and ran away. The prince got up and shouted: "Catch it quickly, if you can't catch it, shoot it!"

The arrows of the archers flew like a torrential rain towards Xiaobai. Although Xiaobai was hit by a few arrows, he still ran home and died in front of his dearest master.

Xiaobai's death made Su He very sad.

One night, Su He saw Xiaobai alive in a dream. He stroked it, and it approached him, and at the same time said to him softly, "Master, if you want me to never leave you, and if you can relieve your loneliness, then you can make a harp out of my bones!"

After Su He woke up, he made a piano out of its bones, tendons and tail according to Xiaobai's words, and carved the head into the shape of a horse's head, so it was called a horse's head qin.

Every time he plays the piano, he recalls the happy days with Xiaobai, and the sound of the piano becomes more beautiful and beautiful.

Since then, the horse-head qin has become a comfort for the herdsmen on the grassland, and when people hear the sound of the horse-head qin, they will forget their fatigue and think of their distant families......

"Is it good?" After telling the story to the south, he saw that Lu Ya listened attentively and didn't say a word. Then he pushed him: "Why don't you react at all after listening to the story, you have to ask later? ”

Lu Ya came back to his senses: "This story is so good, I can't bear to interrupt, yes, what about later?"

Xiang Nan smiled: "Later, it's all over." ”

Lu Ya scratched his head: "Oh, that's it." What happened to the prince?"

Xiang Nan said: "I don't know how to do it, the prince is still the prince, it shouldn't be good." ”

Lu Ya sighed: "It turns out that wicked people may not have evil retribution. As I listened to the story, I hoped that the prince would be punished, but in the end nothing came of it...... It turns out that this is also a sad story. ”

Xiang Nan chuckled: "You can do whatever you want, anyway, the story doesn't say what the prince is, why don't I add a 'later' to you." ”

"Later?" Lu Yaqi said.

"Later, the prince died", Xiang Nan said with a smile: "Anyway, he will die sooner or later, Ha Luha." ”

Lu Ya knew that she was lying to him, and also smiled: "Then it depends on how he died, but you can tell me how he died?"

Xiang Nan said casually: "You can die any way, drown." Okay. ”

After hearing this, Lu Ya remembered the Battle of Yashan again, and he was not very happy, Xiang Nan didn't know the reason, so he didn't say anything more, and immediately changed the topic: "Okay, don't talk about it, I'll play the piano for you, listen to it well." With that, he played the horse-head harp.

Xiang Nan's qin skills are superb, the sound of the horse head qin is like a spring breeze bathing the earth, as if drunk, Lu Ya suddenly understood that when the naval battle that day, the sound of the qin heard was played by Xiang Nan. It's just that it bounces up at this time, which is completely different from the feeling during the naval battle of Yashan, Lu Ya seems to see the vast grassland, herds of cattle and sheep, and Rongrong weeds swaying under the breeze, like waves and undulating, until the end of the day.

(In 2005, when I went to Guangdong to travel, I heard the legend, there is a Tianhou temple here, outside the temple found the most emperor of the Song Dynasty, the yellow clothes are added, the birds surround the clouds, I feel very unreasonable, I guess this is made up, most of the folk legends are pretending to be gods, so the author also hides the name of the temple here, because the legend can not be verified, and the officials do not have to be entangled.) As for the loss and recovery of the Great Song Yuxi, it has been a hundred years later, and it is rumored to be divine, which is also undocumented. Perhaps this is the wish expressed by the common people who do not want to be ruled by foreign nationalities. But as the book Chinese Tianxiang says: wishes are always difficult to achieve. Because history cannot repeat itself. Later, some people used the folklore of the Tianhou Temple as the basis for the fact that the tomb of the young emperor (now Chiwan, Shenzhen) was erected next to the Tianhou Temple, etc., all of which have nothing to do with this story, so there is no need to elaborate here. )
