Strange Era: An exclusive talent every month.

Chapter 59
"What are you doing?"

Looking at the buckets all over the floor, Chen Ye felt that there were countless small question marks in front of him.

Those who didn’t know thought there was some kind of monster-hunting formation here…

"Just in case!" The erhu old man said in a very natural tone, which made Chen Ye almost think it was his fault.

Chen Ye laughed and said, "Even if you want to store water, can't you just use a bigger one to pretend? Why do you have to divide so much?"

"Didn't the bucket be snatched away by the dog last time? Be more prepared this time, so as not to wake up early in the morning without water to drink."

"..." Chen Ye couldn't find any reason to refute for a while.

His eyes of luck landed on the old man's erhu, and suddenly he frowned slightly, noticing something unusual about the other's halo.

In that ray of golden light, there was actually a jet-black spot.

An invisible black mist sometimes circulates around the golden light.

Black and gold are intertwined, weird and sacred coexist.

"What kind of luck is this?"

Chen Ye couldn't help but fell into silence. Of course he knew that the identity of the Erhu old man was very mysterious, but he didn't expect that the other party's luck also appeared abnormal!
Moreover, the golden ring of luck has only appeared on the body of the old erhu so far.

It symbolizes destiny!

But in that golden light, a bit of blackness was bred, which seemed to add a sense of treachery to this sacredness.

It seems abrupt and contradictory.

Several possibilities flashed through Chen Ye's mind in an instant, but no matter how he guessed, he had no clue about the aura of the old man's luck for the time being.

Such a halo of luck is really rare!
But soon, the ink mark seemed to have submerged into the water, leaving no trace, only dazzling golden particles, shining brightly in the center of the halo.

"Disappeared?"

Chen Ye couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief when he noticed that the black marks had receded.

perhaps……

I should be worrying about it.

It might just be something unclean on the way, which tainted a little bit of breath, but it's completely useless to the old erhu.

Chen Ye's eyes returned to the buckets all over the floor.

He always felt that the erhu old man should know something, but he didn't tell himself clearly.

At this moment, the old erhu picked up the erhu beside him and said with a smile:
"Okay, let's play a song together."

"One day without practice is like three autumns!"

"To make a living as a performer, you must practice hard every day, and don't let it go to waste!"

Hearing this familiar voice, Chen Ye relaxed and sat cross-legged beside the old Erhu man.

The sounds of suona and erhu are played at the same time.

The melodious tune once again echoed in the alleys of Xining.

At the beginning, Chen Ye was troubled by various things today and had difficulty concentrating.

There are flaws and mistakes in many places.

When practicing, it feels as if the mouth is blocked, no matter how hard I blow, I can't blow smoothly enough.

"Be careful." Erhu old man reminded patiently and softly.

Chen Ye nodded, took a deep breath, and emptied out the irrelevant thoughts in his mind.

Put all your heart into the performance of the erhu...

He closed his eyes and emptied his mind, leaving only the melodious music echoing in his ears, and his mind seemed to have entered the world of music.

This time...

Chen Ye felt that the state of still water had finally returned, and at the same time, his control over suona immediately became completely different.

Even at the climax, you can keep up with the performance of the old man on the erhu.

Of course, there are still flaws in the music of the ensemble, and there is still a little bit of dissonance, but it has made great progress compared to the last time!

[Strange value +300! 】

[Strange value +300! 】

【…】

After practicing all night, Chen Ye was completely immersed in it, forgetting the passage of time.

Unknowingly, the weird value finally broke through the [-] mark!

suddenly……

Chen Ye's heart suddenly moved, and he realized that some kind of change was quietly taking place in his body.

The perception of the world seems to become clearer than before.

He closed his eyes, and suddenly he was able to capture every subtle emotional change in the melody of the music.

In the past, Chen Ye could only rely on the general direction of the melody to hear the emotion of the piece.

Just like ordinary listeners, they just listen with both ears. If it sounds good, it sounds good.

but now……

He can clearly hear every detail in the music, how much strength and technique are used, and what kind of mood the performer uses to give the music new life.

Immerse yourself and listen carefully...

Finally, Chen Ye found his ensemble with the erhu old man. What went wrong?

Although the melody of the erhu is cheerful and melodious, it seems to take the audience to a vast grassland, where there is no cloud in the sky, and the horses gallop freely, far away from the world without worries.

But in this cheerful melody, there is a sad past hidden in the dark.

That part of the past seems to be telling a hometown that can’t go back, where there are people you can’t see, there are longings that you can’t let go, but there is still a persistent hope, which turns into a hot flame and keeps burning that heart!

He wanted to forget this incident and created a free space in the music world, but the past has not been erased, but deeply imprinted here.

That heart kept beating in the burning hope, but quickly slipped into the abyss of eternal doom...

At this moment, Chen Ye's piece suddenly stopped, and he couldn't keep playing.

Because he couldn't understand what the erhu old man was trying to express...

At this time, the performance of the old man on the erhu gradually stopped.

He leaned against the low tile wall, lazily picked up the water ladle, poured the water in his mouth, and looked at the night sky with a bit of confusion.

After a while, there was a little more relief in the eyes looking at Chen Ye:
"You made great progress today."

Chen Ye didn't show that he was very happy, he hesitated for a while, and was about to speak...

The old man on the erhu suddenly laughed at himself, and interrupted: "People, in this world, everyone has to learn to separate. When you get older and live a long time, who doesn't have a few sad memories?"

Chen Ye's words came to his lips, and he didn't say what he wanted to ask, but just nodded silently.

"Okay." The erhu old man stretched his waist and stretched his muscles and bones, "It's not too early, I won't play at this time, and sleep when it's time to sleep."

As soon as he finished speaking, this guy rolled up the small bedding next to him, and wrapped himself into a "silkworm chrysalis".

A thunderous snore came from the "silkworm chrysalis".

"Go to sleep!"

Chen Ye whispered with a little disgust.

He looked up at the sky, and suddenly began to miss the hometown he couldn't go back to.

The music just now, the strong nostalgia, evokes the longing in my heart...

However, where did the sad past of the erhu old man come from?

He should be an aborigine of this city, with transcendent strength and mysterious identity, where can he go if he wants to go?

Why did you choose to become a "wandering existence"?
Various questions lingered in Chen Ye's mind.

In fact...

He wants to sleep a little, but at this stage, how can he sleep?

The progress of this month's stage task is not too advanced, and the leaderboard has just rushed to the tenth position.

There are still many things to be resolved.

The pollution in the lower reaches of the Xijiang River and the ensuing food problems, as well as the black streak flashing in the golden light of the old man on the erhu...

All kinds of uneasy factors seemed to turn into whispers in his ears, constantly urging Chen Ye to become stronger quickly!
Only with strong strength can we have the confidence to deal with these problems that may come one after another.

He took out a chestnut fried in sugar from the oil paper bag, swallowed it, and regained his spirit.

Immediately after...

Keeping a wandering attitude, stepping six meters, leaving the shelter, and starting the performance of the night!
