Chapter 20 Butterfly Bone
When Green came back, the group of them only walked about 1,000 meters. I don't know if she was too fast or they were too slow.
Green handed the bamboo tube in his hand to the girl beside Hao Lianliuyue. "There is a tea pavilion not far ahead, but the place is not very good. Let's just take a rest."
Hao Lianyue said "um" faintly. Anyway, he doesn't feel tired at all.
They have been going for a long time, and they haven't met any teahouses and restaurants along the way. The eyes of the green mountains and rivers along the way are full, but they are also quite tiring. Besides, as Linmu said, no matter how good the scenery is, it is easy to cause visual fatigue.
The small tea shop is quite dilapidated, that is, a shed built on the roadside, several sets of old tables and chairs, and a curtain-up boiling water, only for passers-by to rest.
When Hao Lianliuyue and his party arrived, many people had already rested there. Hao Lianliuyue has always been a lot of appearance, but these people are just slightly sideways, either often floating in the world, or businessmen who are well-in-depth in the world.
The boss greeted him with a smile: "It's hot and dry. How many of you want to have a tea break?"
Hong smiled and said, "I'm sorry to bother the boss."
The boss turned around with a smile and shouted in the inner curtain: "Old lady, let's have tea~."
I only heard a loud female voice in the curtain responds happily: "It's coming soon~."
Green joked, "The relationship between you two is really good. What a husband and wife."
The boss laughed and said, "Old husband and wife, there is no such thing as good or bad. Life goes by every day, and it will be over to support each other."
Lan tied the horse to the roadside. When he walked this way, he was right in front of the boss's red face and paused. Is it so easy to live?
With Hao Lianliuyue walking in, the red sandalwood suddenly turned around and said in a faint voice, "Sister Lan, I suddenly saw Lanxin flowers blooming on the roadside just now. Do you think it's strange? It is said that its life is short, but it actually wants to earn this brilliance.
Lan looked at him several steps away. This was the first time he had taken the initiative to talk to her since he came. Usually, they don't intersect. She remembered that when she just passed by the cloud lake, she saw the orchid flower that ended her life before it was in full bloom and asked the prince, "Why is its life so short?" It can't even last for a flowering period.
At that time, the prince only said that it was the fate given to him by God. And what Linmu was doing at that time, she had no impression at all. In other words, she has a lot of things to think about, but she has never had the energy to pay attention to a new child.
"Because it wants to." She said.
Red sandalwood nodded, that's enough.
After the group sat down, there was no extra space in the small teahouse. Red sandalwood and Hao Lianliuyue sat at the table. Hao Lianliuyue was located in the upper head, with a soft cushion under his body. Behind him stood the waiting woman with a fan. The red sandalwood sat opposite him, and the red, yellow, blue and green sat on the left and right. The other tables are full of benches for two people.
As soon as I sat down, I heard the boss's wife's voice coming from far and near: "The tea is coming, a few people drink slowly."
The tea in this place is naturally coarse tea, but they are all wandering people in the world. No one cares about these. The boss's wife put down the tea and shuttled back and forth between the other tables. She is also happy to bring tea and water.
The boss's wife is wrapped in a headscarf, a coarse linen coat, and a waist tied around her waist. It may be that years of hard work make her hands look very rough. But that smiling face makes people feel comfortable. Lan, who stared at her for a long time, concluded, "This is a happy woman."
Huang said with some interest, "It's rare to see you pay attention to a person. I didn't expect you to yearn for such a life."
Lan glanced at her and said lightly, "Is there anything wrong with this kind of life?"
Green shook his head and received: "It's not bad, but I didn't expect you to expect it. I haven't seen you for so many years.
"Oh? So what kind of life do you think I should live?
Green held his head and thought about it carefully. With half a sound, he lay on the table weakly. When I think about it carefully, it seems that I really can't think of it, but the more I think about it, the more difficult it is to determine this matter. Except for being very progressive in martial arts, Lan usually seems to have nothing to do with her, except for the prince. So they take it for granted that swords and shadows are her lifelong pursuits, but who really asked her what she thought?
Seeing that Lv looked distressed, Hong smiled and said, "Okay, okay, how can I live a life? We'd better replenish our strength. After this place, we don't know where we can meet again.
Blue drooping eyes, no more words, she said enough today.
The person who can bring out the golden cup and jade cup is just an ordinary person, but the person who can bring out the old bowl of coarse tea, red sandalwood has to admit that such a person can't really be called a mortal. And Hao Lianliuyue is no different from the representative of this kind of people.
In fact, in the consciousness of red sandalwood, people like Hao Lianliuyue should specially pack all the things he may use, although it will be very troublesome. If you come to such a dilapidated place, you will take your things out, drink the best tea, only use your own cup, enjoy your own life, and make others envy and hate.
Therefore, when I saw that he naturally picked up the boss's wife and sent the unwanted inferior tea to his mouth, he had a stronger sense of identity with this person: he could stand high and shout for wind and rain, and he could also stand firmly on the flat ground.
Hao Lianliuyue put down the tea bowl in his hand and raised the corners of his mouth: "What? Does Linmu think this tea doesn't taste good?
Red sandalwood shook his head: "No."
In fact, she doesn't know anything about tea at all. In her mouth, the best tea is just a role of water. The only difference is that some water is very cheap, while others are ridiculously expensive. She has always had anything to drink. No, plain boiled water is also a good choice.
As he spoke, the previous boss suddenly came over and said politely, "Six guests, the business of the shop is really good today. The place is small, and the table has been full for several times. I really can't squeeze it. There is only our small shop on this road. If it's a man, he won't take over the business, but this girl is alone. Let's see if she can sit down and have a rest for a while.
With that, the boss stepped aside, and everyone saw a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl standing behind him. The girl held a pair of pipa in her arms, and her dark hair was loosely tied up behind her, swaying gently in the light summer wind. Her body was dressed in a cyan robe, a pair of willow eyebrows, long eyelashes covered her eyes, her pink lips were slightly hooked, and her whole body was as clear as dew in the morning.
Hao Lianyue smiled and praised, "There is a beautiful person, like the morning dew. You are really welcome to the end."
The girl saluted Hao Lianyue Yingying, and her voice was clear: "Thank you very much." Sit down beside the red sandalwood at the corner of the table.
Huang poured a bowl of tea and put it in front of her. "The thick bowl of tea leaks. If you don't mind, just drink some."
The girl smiled lightly, "Thank you."
"I don't know what to call the girl?" Green and friendly asked.
"Water Nightingale" She returned, and her voice was as beautiful as a nightingale.
The girl picked up the bowl and sent it to her mouth and was about to drink. Her head turned sideways, and somehow she suddenly put it down.
Huang asked, "What's wrong with the water girl?"
The girl smiled and shook her head. He picked up the tea bowl and took a few sippings and gently wiped the corners of his mouth.
Hao Lianliuyue looked at the pipa in her arms and asked, "But the dish bone?"
The girl's low head turned to his side and smiled, "It seems that the prince is also a happy person."
Red sandalwood has never seen Hao Lianliuyue use musical instruments, but it has seen a lot in the packages they carry.
"It's not about good fun, it's just a little bit of knowledge." The butterfly bone is a pipa, but not a simple pipa. It's just that there are not many people who know this. He knows a little about it. It's really just a coincidence.
The girl nodded and stopped talking. She took a sip of tea again, stood up and said goodbye, "Thank you for your tea. See you later."
Hao Lianliuyue nodded: "See you later."
When she got up, her head was still slightly lowered, her long eyelashes were covered from top to bottom, and she could hardly see her eyes from the outside. But the red sandalwood just sat next to her. When she looked up slightly, she could find that her eyes were dark but empty, like a layer of gray fog.
When she turned around, the red sandalwood pulled open the bench to make way for her.
The girl walked to the door step by step, and her pace was very steady. When she was about to touch the strong sunlight outside, she suddenly leaned sideways: "Your side is very comfortable, with a breath, and it smells good. Well, like, blue sea and blue sky.
She said slowly, and then blended into the sunshine and gradually faded away.
Green held her chin and gently lifted it in the direction of her disappearance: "Who is she talking about?"
Red shook his head, and Huang and Blue did not answer.
The red sandalwood pulled over the bench and continued to drink his own tea. Hao Lianyue smiled and didn't answer.
Green suddenly realized, "That girl doesn't like our son, does she?" There are many people who like their son, but I'm afraid there will be another sad person from now on.
The red sandalwood coughed gently, and she admitted that she had been choked so little just now. She has no doubt about the charm of Brother Hao Lian, but this time, I'm afraid Green has thought too much.
The green here is still regretting the girl's feelings, and he heard the rapid sound of horses' hoofs passing outside the teahouse.
It was normal to hear the sound of horses' hoofs on the plank road, although the sound was indeed a little dry, and everyone didn't care. It was only a time to turn around, and the same voice came from the other end. The horse rushed straight to the gate of the teahouse. Just when everyone was wondering if they would break through the shed directly, they heard the horse's long hiss and stopped.
The person on the horse didn't even get down, and his cold voice went straight to everyone's eardrums: "I don't know if you have seen a blind woman passing by? She is my little sister and goes away alone. I'm worried at home, and I'm looking forward to your notice.
The man's eyes like an eagle swept over the audience. When he saw Hao Lianliuyue, he paused for a moment and immediately took it back.
If he doesn't say anything, I'm afraid that everyone will think that he is here to seek revenge. Everyone shook their heads one after another. The woman had seen it. There were a lot in the shed. There was also one who came and left just now, but they had seen the blind woman.
Red sandalwood quietly drank his own tea, listening to the sound of horses' hoofs galloping away again. Are there any brothers and sisters who don't look like them?
When he went on the road again, Hao Lianliuyue lay on his side of the snow-gauze sedan and asked the red sandalwood: "Lin Mu knows musical instruments?"
Sopwood does not shake his head or nod: "I can only play drums"
Drums are also a kind of musical instrument. She doesn't nod because her drums are not for music.
"Do you know about other musical instruments? There should be a lot of these things in the flower house.
Red sandalwood still flipped the book in his hand and answered, "I'm just a buddy. No one stipulates that a buddy needs a musical instrument to stand."
It's the same. It seems that he thinks too much.
Red sandalwood finally pulled his eyes out of the book: "Do you have anything to say?"
Hao Lianliuyue smiled softly: "Is Linmu looking good at the pipa of the water girl?"
Pipa? She said she didn't know musical instruments. Besides, what's the use of good-looking musical instruments? They need good sound quality.
Seeing that the red sandalwood looked at him and didn't say anything, he continued, "Has Linmu heard of the magic sound?"
"Magic sound?"
"Well," he nodded, "The name of the pipa is Butterfly Bone. It is said that the music that pops out has a confusing effect, so it has the name of magic sound. The butterfly bone, bone, is human bone, and countless people died under it. At the beginning of the sound, the blue butterfly carved on the pipa will greet the same kind to rotate and dance as if it were alive.
The magic sound is confusing. I don't know why she suddenly thought of the woman who ate the soul with her singing in the cloud lake. Maybe there is some kind of similarity in this?
She didn't ask him why he told her this, nor did she ask how he knew this. This man seems to know everything, but he doesn't say anything. Do you know the man who came later?
Hao Lianyue shook his head and asked with a smile, "Did a man come later?"
Open your eyes and tell lies. Since he didn't want to say it, red sandalwood asked more questions. The car was quiet again.
