The Fairy Just Wants To Lie Down

  Chapter 20 Asking the Sword Tianque Mountain

   Li Yi corrected: "Second uncle, I am Li Yi."

   "Oh~"

  The second uncle's voice was drawn out, his white eyebrows raised, his cloudy eyes were obviously stunned for a few times, and then the wooden stick stomped on the ground, his voice raised.

"I know, I know, I have a very good memory, I can memorize more than 100 music scores. At that time, people from all over the world wanted to listen to my erhu. Xingguo, I have taken a fancy to your talent back then, but you want to Go be that kind of teacher."

   Li Yidao: "I am Li Yi."

   "I know, Xingguo."

   "..."

  Li Yi decided not to argue with the little old man, and walked into the house of the previous generation with a basket. The house was very dilapidated, the walls had all been weathered and exposed mud bricks with holes in them, black shadows ran across the beams from time to time, and the ground was covered with various sundries.

  The time of this house stayed in the time of the last generation 50 years ago. It will always exist until the second uncle dies.

  Stepping in, it feels like 30 years have passed.

   Li Yi read a book when he was in junior high school, and there was a sentence that impressed him deeply. A house is alive. It can exist for dozens or hundreds of years when people live in it. It only takes a few years for it to age rapidly and collapse if no one lives in it.

  At first he didn’t believe it, but after he left the earthen house in Qingshui Village, he realized that a living house is not reinforced concrete, nor mud and wooden beams, but a house where people live and memories.

  Time can obliterate everything, but memory can be passed on.

  Put the basket on the table, take out the vermicelli inside, put it in a white porcelain bowl with a big face, two poached eggs and a few green vegetables.

   "Second uncle, eat quickly."

  The second uncle sat on the bench, took out a gourd, poured some wine and ate noodles while drinking. I have a bad memory, but I really enjoy it.

  Li Yi didn't watch the old man's strange habit of eating noodles, so he picked up the erhu placed by the table and rubbed it carefully.

   After two mouthfuls, the second uncle suddenly put down his chopsticks and looked at Li Yi.

   "Xingguo, it's getting cold here."

  Li Yi raised his eyelids slightly, and touched the white porcelain bowl lightly with his hand. Immediately, the white porcelain surface turned slightly red, and the dried noodles began to emit heat. Then, while continuing to fiddle with the old erhu, he said:

   "Don't touch the bowl, be careful not to burn it."

  The second uncle blinked his eyes, and after a few seconds of long brain nerves finally reacted, he suddenly stood up and pointed at the steaming noodles: "Yaoyaoyuekai! Xingguo, this bowl of noodles is getting hot, there are monsters!"

   Li Yi also blinked, pretending to be confused and said: "Second uncle, how can you eat the noodles if they are not hot? If you don't eat them, they will be cold again."

   "..." The second uncle stayed for a few more seconds, as if he was thinking about whether the hot noodles were monsters, or whether the noodles should be eaten hot.

   Li Yi didn't answer, and continued to play with the erhu. The second uncle soon forgot to start gulping noodles.

   After a while, a bowl of dried noodles was empty. I don’t know if it’s because the second uncle is very hungry, or because my mother’s craftsmanship is good. Since my father also came to deliver the meal yesterday, it is most likely the latter.

   Li Yi quickly packed up the dishes and was about to leave when he happened to walk in alone.

  The visitor was tall and slender, wearing a light yellow long skirt, which made his pair of delicate long legs more conspicuous, and his facial features with light makeup were quite attractive.

  Li Lili, the little sister who once gave him a headache.

  How did she come here?

  Li Yi was very surprised. After thinking about it, he couldn't figure out what the rich lady was doing in the ravine?

   "Lily, you are finally willing to see me, an old man."

  The second uncle behind him saw the woman and almost wanted to rush towards him. If Li Yi hadn't stretched out his hand to support him, he would have fallen down.

  Li Lili learned the flute from the second uncle for a while when she was a child, and it is normal if she remembers correctly, Li Yiru comforted her.

  Li Lili glanced at Li Yi secretly, then looked away, and first greeted the old man with a smile: "Second Master, I heard that you sprained your ankle, so I came here to see you, is it serious?"

  In addition, she was looking for an excuse to see Li Yi.

   "Ouch! It's not serious, I'm in good health." The second uncle smiled brighter. "It's true, you child. What if you run into such a small problem and delay your work?"

   "Today is the weekend holiday, I just took the time to visit you."

   After Li Lili and the second uncle finished greeting, they turned their attention to Li Yi. His eyes are calm and natural, and his behavior is decent without any clues.

   "Brother Yi, I didn't expect you to be here."

  The target is me?

   Li Yi instantly sensed the other party's real purpose, but the sense of heaven and man is not mind reading, and he didn't know what medicine the other party was selling in the gourd.

  Seeing through but not telling the truth, he simply nodded.

"Um."

   Li Lili was somewhat disappointed by the indifferent attitude, but she quickly adjusted, and she had long been used to the other party's attitude.

  Although Li Lili was not born into a wealthy family, but because her father was the eldest son of Li and earned a lot of money, she was a star in the Li family since she was a child.

  It's a pity that her status as a little princess is not worth mentioning in front of Li Yi, who is the first in the state examination and the prospective champion. The words of her parents, why don't you learn from Li Yi, and the experience of tutoring have buried a deep awe in her.

  Originally, Li Lili also rebelled, but unfortunately, Li Yi forcibly dragged them out of bars, KTVs and other places. Those friends who looked fierce couldn't beat his cousin and Zhao Si.

  Looking back, Li Lili thanked her cousin for being rude to her back then. Without him, her own life might be wasted. Now among the group of friends in junior high school, some gambled and jumped off the building, some committed crimes and went to prison, some dropped out of junior high school to work, and almost none of them made it to the top.

   On the other hand, she herself was admitted to a first-class university in China and entered the top 100 companies in China.

   "Brother, my brother and I have already helped you find a good school for you to re-study. Your old alma mater, Yucheng No. 1 Middle School, said that you can re-study, but you have to pass the exam."

  Li Lili has been busy with this matter for the past few days. Her father and younger brother may want to please Li Yi for some reason. But she really helped this cousin, even if it was just about dragging herself out of the bar back then.

   "The exam is fine, but I don't want to go to school." Li Yi pointed to the stubble on his face, "I'm almost 30 years old, so it's not bad for me to be a teacher."

   "Poof..."

  Li Lili couldn't help chuckling, and said: "No. 1 Middle School is a full-time boarding school, so it might be a bit difficult if you don't go to school. But I can talk to the school to see if there is any accommodation."

   "I have a heart." Li Yi nodded slightly as a token of his acceptance.

  For some reason, Li Lili suddenly felt great joy in her heart, and she was a little flattered. Li Yi gave her a sense of seeing the boss of the company, to be precise, the temperament of a superior. This temperament is stronger than any leader she has ever seen, but it is extremely subtle.

  If those leaders gave Li Lili the feeling of oppression like a tsunami, then Li Yi is an endless ocean, calm and magnificent.

   Illusion?

  Li Lili came back to her senses, smiled and shook her head, maybe this cousin was too majestic in her memory, and overlapped with those big leaders.

   "Brother Yi..."

   Li Lili wanted to say something else, but the second uncle who felt left out beside her finally broke out.

   "Ouch, my legs, my legs."

   "Second uncle, what's the matter with you." Li Lili immediately stepped forward and asked with concern, her phone was already raised to call an ambulance.

   "The leg suddenly hurt a little, but it's much better now." The second uncle put it away as soon as he saw it, and took out a bamboo flute from the box next to him.

   "Lily, Grandpa, my skills have increased a lot recently, and I have achieved my magic skills, and I have comprehended a piece of music."

  Li Lili asked curiously, "Okay."

   "Help me outside, just in time for my peach tree to bloom, and use the scenery to express my feelings."

  The second grandpa came down to the peach tree outside with the help of the two of them. At this time, June was the season of peach blossoms, and the pink petals covered the entire peach tree.

  The second grandpa held the bamboo flute and blew lightly on the first note, which shows his profound skills, the timbre is full and quiet, and the melody is euphemistic and miserable.

   Li Yi also looked sideways slightly, unable to tell that the second uncle played pretty well and had some real skills. A good song is easy to bring back memories. He thought of a like-minded friend. At that time, she liked to listen to his flute music the most.

   Li Lili next to her almost laughed out loud, isn't this the most recent song Wentian? The second master adapted the tune he heard on the radio, saying that he created it himself.

  But Er Ye’s adaptation is really nice.

   At the end of the song, the last few sounds ran away.

  The second uncle shook his head, pretending to be profound and said: "Hey, I am old, I am old, and I can't finish playing the songs I made."

   "Second Master is amazing." Li Lili gave a thumbs up very appreciatively, boasting that the little old man's face was rosy.

   "What do you think of Xingguo?"

  Second Master set his sights on Li Yi, obviously wanting to hear the other party's praise.

"awesome."

   Li Yi also nodded in praise, but his usual quietness seemed a bit perfunctory at this time. Let Li Lili think that her cousin knew that the second master had made up nonsense, so she couldn't help covering her mouth with a "poof" and chuckling. The second master who is so face-saving is even worse. He forced the bamboo flute to Li Yi and yelled:

   "You come, you come!"

   Li Yi looked at the little old man blowing his beard and staring, not knowing what provoked him, and said, "I haven't played the flute for a long time."

   Probably two thousand years ago.

   "That's even more blowing! Old man, I had high hopes for you back then." The second master was still relentless, he obviously still regarded himself as a father.

Li Lili didn't want to see Li Yi in trouble, so she patted Second Master on the back and comforted him in a childlike tone: "Second Master, Brother Yi really doesn't know how to play the flute, so just let him go. Pass on the tune created by me, I want to learn."

   "Isn't it Xingguo? But since you want to learn, I have a condition, you have to visit me every two months."

  Second Master looked a little better, and just as he was about to take back the flute, a long flute sounded.

   Turning his head, he saw that Li Yi had already put the bamboo flute to his lips, and the sound changed with his fingers and blowing. The tone is fuller and quieter, and it is still the song "Heavenly Question" played by the second master. It's obviously the same song, but the voice seems to carry some kind of magic power, dragging them into another world.

  The sound of the flute is clear and melodious, and the breeze rises and falls with the sound. The petals on the peach tree took advantage of the wind and danced in the mountains, surrounding the thin man in a white T-shirt.

  Suddenly, the sound of the flute changed, and so did the tune.

   It is no longer a poignant and euphemistic Tianwen, but more like an earth-shattering, golden and iron horse entering the battle.

  The wind howled, and the two clusters of peach blossoms collided in the air. Every time they hit the flute, the sound would become sharp and high, as if weapons were really colliding. The birds in the mountains fled from the treetops, and the chirping insects did not make a sound.

   The two seemed to see Li Yi standing on the top of the mountain, swords flying all over the sky towards him, and countless figures attacking him. But when they blinked again, Feijian turned into a peach blossom tree, the mountains turned into peach blossoms, and the enemy was nothing but the shade of a tree.

   At the end of the song, the high-pitched sound of the flute returned to the poignant beauty of "Heavenly Questions".

  Second Master and Li Lili were stunned, unable to speak at all. They are people who know the flute, so they naturally understand how wonderful the performance just now was.

   "Let's call it Asking Sword Tianque Mountain."

  Li Yi handed back the bamboo flute, saw that the sun was already high, picked up the basket and left without haste.

  Braised pork knuckles with soybeans for lunch today.
