Zhu Ziping's face was as usual, she was sitting upright on the piano stool, raising her fingers with her slender hands, slightly testing the sound, and then paused, her expression solemn and solemn.
She closed her eyes and opened them again, with a slight smile on her lips. The timbre is as smooth as pearls and jade, and the minor three notes are serene and peaceful. The candlelight casts shadows, and the breeze wipes the curtain. Outside the curtain is the moonlight, and inside the curtain is endless sound. At the climax, the minor chords played over and over again, as if the left and right hands were turning flowers, and the series of extremely fast sounds at the climax left a series of pure jade-like imprints in Lin Wenxi's heart. The bright moon shines in the wilderness, the flow is endless, the past and the present are crazy, the colorful clouds are timeless, and the music of the piano is far away. The eyes are like flying flowers, and it seems like a late autumn rain, and after the rain, the mountains are high, the moon is small, and the clouds are thin.
It is an embarrassing song, Caiyun Chasing the Moon, but in Zhu Ziping's hands, it is so pure, elegant and soul-stirring.
Lin Wenxi felt that he had passed the tenth level of piano in high school, and after years of practice, he was already very confident. However, next to Zhu Ziping, he was not qualified to be an apprentice.
"The bright moon was there at that time, shining on the colorful clouds." Lin Wenxi admired deeply: "As deep as you are in love, it is inevitable to be alone in such a secluded place. Why not pursue your bright moon?" Lin Wenxi was not talkative at first. As soon as I entered this room, I felt endless admiration.
"The bright moon and colorful clouds are not only like dew but also like illusions. I miss you with a snap of my fingers, and the world of mortals is more troubled. Brother Xi, the song is over, and our fate has come to an end. From now on, we can take care of ourselves." Yan Bi began to arrange the body of the piano. Lin Wenxi retreated to the door in fear, and couldn't help but bow deeply to the girl next to her, who was only in her mid-twenties. However, she saw tears in the young man's eyes, and he was absent-minded for a long time. When he saw Lin Wenxi coming out, he hurriedly turned into his room.
Zhu Ziping gently closed the door, as if a story had been sealed in dust, when someone knocked on the door outside the main door.
Lin Wenxi opened the door, looking like a farmer, staggering and drunk: "It's been more than a year since I heard this girl play the piano again. It's really nice." Lin Wenxi thought that there were people like him outside the courtyard who liked to play the piano. There should be quite a few. Looking around, there is only a quiet path leading to the bottom of the hillside. There is such a beautiful sound, but there is no one listening to the piano. No wonder Zhu Ziping will play one for herself.
"No, I forgot about business. Someone asked me to get a quilt for you. I'm afraid you might catch a cold at night." As he said this, he stuffed the quilt behind him into Lin Wenxi's arms. Lin Wenxi was about to ask who had such good intentions. Han swayed and shouted again.
The drunk man stumbled away for a while, muttering to himself: "That instructor had a good drink at a young age, and he even drank me down..."
"My name is Zhu Zilin, her brother." Zhu Ziping's brother suddenly spoke. Lin Wenxi turned slightly sideways and listened quietly.
Zhu Ziping's family was poor since she was a child, and her parents had no money to support her younger brother, so they adopted her to her younger brother, Zhu Ziping's uncle, who had better conditions.
My uncle's family had a daughter, and he loved her to the core. He tried his best to raise her, and spent all his money to help Zhu Ziping to learn piano. Soon she became very famous in the town, and even participated in some competitions and achieved good results.
The woman is like a flower and the person is like a jade. When she goes to college, she meets her true love. From their hobbies to their personalities, they are identical in everything. After graduation, the two did not find jobs in the traditional sense, but wandered together as wandering performers. They did not make a big splash, but they reached the age of marriage. Zhu Ziping was twenty-five that year, and her boyfriend Yun Che was twenty-six. Uncle is very worried that Yun Che’s family is too wealthy
, he couldn't afford it, he couldn't figure it out for a moment, and refused to let Zhu Ziping go to his house to meet her parents. Zhu Ziping had been grateful to her uncle since she was a child and was very obedient. However, the only time she went against her uncle's wishes was when she secretly went to his house with Yun Che.
He was a good person when he left, but when he came back a few months later, he was a little crazy. My aunt was so sad that she died of a heart attack after guarding her daughter for several months. The day her uncle kicked Zhu Ziping out of the house, she suddenly regained her consciousness, knelt outside the door for a day and a night, left a letter to her biological parents and left. After leaving for three years, there was no news. It was not until her brother learned from her best friend that she had been a teacher for two years and then lived in seclusion in the mountains.
"My sister refused to leave, and she didn't know that my uncle kicked her out because of regret and missed her too much, so she passed away prematurely." When Zhu Zilin said this, her voice choked up, thinking that she had a deep relationship with her uncle. Lin Wenxi's heart felt a little sour, thinking about the fact that she had only had a very shallow relationship due to her father since she was a child, and her family fortune was not very good, which made her feel sad.
"Later, my parents and I came to see her. My mother was not in good health. She was crying and finally persuaded her to go home. My mother accidentally let her know that her uncle had passed away. She cried several times and became ill. She never wanted to leave. My parents had no choice but to sell all the properties in their hometown and move here together to take care of my sister. Perhaps because the air here is good and there is physical work to support people, my mother's health is getting better day by day. It was not until recent years that my sister could occasionally smile. I got one. However, when I was admitted to college, I was recommended to go abroad. I was afraid that something might happen, so I stayed with my sister for two months, and I had to leave in a few days. Fortunately, my sister was teaching in a nearby primary school, and she was the only one in the village. The teacher is very respected, and life will not be too difficult, so I feel relieved."
"But she must be feeling miserable." Lin Wenxi couldn't help but say.
"That song was often played by her and the person she liked. The piano was also bought by him as a betrothal gift for her sister. She had been keeping it in the school where she used to teach, but unexpectedly it was also shipped here. From the time she came home, it was like I've never heard her play it again, and I never thought that I could play it for you once I saw you. Maybe your temperament is a bit similar to that person's."
"oh"
"His name is Yun Che. He looks as clean as you. He also likes to do things like reciting poems and composing poems. He is very talented. Maybe this is why my sister thinks of him. She says she has forgotten him, but she can't help but deceive herself." After saying that, Zhu Zilin sighed: "I have been in love and broken up before, but I didn't know it would be so painful. We never know what happened to my sister back then. If you have a chance, you will meet this person named Yun Che. , can you think of a way to help me? I don’t hate him, I just feel that the two of us have such a deep relationship, he can’t possibly hurt my sister, there must be some misunderstanding, just like my girlfriend also misunderstood that I didn’t want her, so we broke up. of."
"Oh, the world is so big, you can touch it anywhere, even me... Just thinking about it..." Zhu Zilin must have been very sleepy, muttering something in his mouth, and fell asleep slowly. Lin Wenxi stayed awake almost all night, hugging the quilt, and her mind was filled with the transparent and clear music, which spread the silver glow all over the floor.
When the rooster crows and gets up, Lin Wenxi realizes why Zhu Ziping said to play the piano as a farewell. It turns out that she gets up at around four o'clock in the morning, and the village committee sends people to escort her to walk an hour's mountain road to school. At around five o'clock in the evening, parents from the school send her off on their own initiative. Going home, fortunately, the customs of the people here are good, and there is no chance of picking up anything on the road, so there is no need to worry about her safety.
It was like a clear dream. When they finally said goodbye, Lin Wenxi saw Shu Xiaoman, Chen Wanxin and Zhang Anan again, and suddenly felt that no matter how exquisite they were, they were all ordinary people.
