When Xiangyu and I walked out of the gate of Zhou's house, Zhou Lan had already started the car and was waiting for us at the door.
"Get in the car, if you wait any longer, the sun will come out." Zhou Lan said to me and Xiang Yu while lying on the window of the car, while Chen Mo was sitting in the passenger seat with an expressionless face.
"Isn't this coming out? You came out empty-handed, we still need that thing," I rolled my eyes at Zhou Lan, and then opened the car door for Xiang Yu.
Xiangyu smiled and said thank you to me, and then got into the carriage.
It's past ten o'clock in the small town, even though it's still early autumn, most people have already fallen asleep.
So along the way, we hardly encountered many people and cars, and the road conditions were particularly good.
After a while, Zhou Lan, under my guidance, drove the car to a small yard made of bamboo in the wild.
This small courtyard also belongs to the Zhou family.
Normally, I would invite my pig friends and dog friends over for a barbecue on a whim. Sometimes my grandpa would have to discuss some more important business, and he would also entertain guests in this small bamboo house.
The reason is that it is relatively quiet here, with few people coming there and not being disturbed.
After much thought, this is the best place to try out the bone flute tonight.
"Wow, Zhou Cang, the scenery here is very good. Your grandfather is really good at choosing places." Xiangyu was full of praise as soon as he got off the car.
Yes, grandpa is very knowledgeable and well versed in the secrets of Feng Shui, so the place he chose can be regarded as a place where the aura of heaven and earth gathers, even if the things in Feng Shui are ignored.
I took out the key and opened the door of the bamboo house.
No one has been here for a while, so as soon as the door opened, a smell of moldy dust came out.
I casually took off the feather duster hanging behind the door leaf, briefly cleaned the tables and chairs, and then said: "Let's just make do with it. We probably won't stay here for too long anyway, so we won't clean it."
Bar."
"Whatever," Zhou Lan said, having already sat down on one side of the solid wood round table.
When Chen Mo saw this, he also sat down.
Xiang Yu urged: "Zhou Cang, hurry up and start your performance. I'm really looking forward to what kind of effect this piece of music will have if it is played on a bone flute. You must know that every piece of music can make people faint.
They are all different creatures."
"Then if the creature that the song can affect is not around us, wouldn't we not be able to see the effect?" I said doubtfully.
"That's right. Did the person who gave you the music score really not say anything? Because each piece of music corresponds to a kind of creature, which you will know in advance before learning this flute music." Xiangyu seemed to be talking to himself.
It sounds like it’s talking to us.
"I don't care anyway, learn it first and then use it randomly when you encounter danger. Many things often go wrong like this." Zhou Lan said.
"Then I'll start playing." I said, putting the bone flute in my hand to my mouth, and then started playing.
However, what surprised me was that the bone flute could not be played.
Did I do it incorrectly?
I put down the flute in confusion, then squinted one eye and looked inside, but after looking for a long time, I couldn't see anything.
"Zhou Cang, what's wrong? Have you forgotten the music score?" Xiang Yu was the first one to stand up and then walked towards me.
She is really a very attentive girl.
"I don't know why, but I haven't been able to play this bone flute." I put down the flute and said to Xiangyu.
"How could it be? This bone flute was given to you by my uncle. Logically speaking, it can't be possible. The Wen family's bone flutes are all made of the large tube bones of red-crowned cranes, just like what you saw at the bottom of Poyang Lake.
It is like that, even if it is buried in the mud of the lake for thousands of years or even tens of thousands of years, it will not corrode, so there is absolutely no way that this bone flute will not be able to play a sound." Xiangyu said with a puzzled face.
.
"Then take a look, maybe I didn't operate it properly." I said and handed the bone flute to Xiangyu.
I saw Xiangyu's expression as if he hesitated for a moment, but he still took it.
She put the bone flute in her hand and played with it back and forth, then brought it to her mouth and started playing.
However, the room was still quiet, with not a single sound of the flute.
At this time, Zhou Lan and Chen Mo also noticed that something was wrong. They both stood up at the same time, and then moved towards us.
"What, is the flute broken? Or have we not mastered the playing skills?" Zhou Lan looked at me and said.
"I don't know, I feel like there should be no problem with the flute." I said, feeling that my brows were already starting to wrinkle.
"Show me," Chen Mo, who had been silent until now, suddenly said, with a hint of hoarseness in his voice, which was caused by not speaking for too long.
Xiangyu heard what Chen Mo said and hurriedly handed over the flute.
Chen Mo took the flute and began to study it with squinted eyes.
He looked at me for a long time, I think it might have been half an hour, but he still didn't speak.
There was one time in the process that Xiangyu couldn't hold it in anymore and seemed to want to say something, but was stopped by Zhou Lan's gesture.
We all understand that he must have seen some clues, that's why he watched for so long.
The three of us sat around the solid wood round table and couldn't talk for fear of disturbing Chen Mo, so we all felt very bored.
Suddenly, Chen Mo finally looked away from the bone flute.
"Zhou Cang," he called me, his eyes shining.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"Did you take the astrolabe you brought out from Shentang Bay with you?" Chen Mo looked at me and asked.
"Yes," when I heard him say this, I already took out the blue astrolabe on my body, then stretched out my hand and handed it to him.
I saw Chen Mo taking the astrolabe, then turning the flute over, inserting the blue astrolabe into the end of the flute, and then handed the flute to me.
"Here, try it again and see if you can make it sound."
Chen Mo's series of operations made all three of us stunned.
How could this mute boy, who had spent all his energy talking in his head, figure out that this bone flute was actually related to the astrolabe?
I was so stunned that I almost forgot to take the bone flute that he had already held in the air.
When Xiangyu saw this, he poked me with his hand, and then said: "Zhou Cang, what are you doing standing there in a daze? Take it."
I suddenly came back to my senses when Xiangyu called me this. After taking the bone flute, I put the flute to my mouth and tried to blow it, and it actually made a sound.
"Chen Mo, you are so smart, how did you come up with this?" Zhou Lan patted Chen Mo heavily on the shoulder and said.
Chen Mo's body was not that big to begin with, but after being slapped by Zhou Lan like this, he staggered a little unsteadily.
And I ignored them and just started playing the flute according to the music score.
Unexpectedly, I had just played a few notes when I saw three people sitting around the solid wood round table, and their faces began to turn pale.
Probably frightened by these recent experiences, I couldn't help but look outside, but there was nothing in the yard, only the white car we had just driven parked there alone.
What's wrong?
A trace of doubt crossed my mind, but I continued to play.
At this time, I saw Zhou Lan waving towards me, and Xiang Yu was already lying limply on the table.
Could it be that the person being hypnotized by this piece of music is actually a human being?
I thought this in my mind and stopped instantly.
"Zhou Cang, hurry up, hurry up..." Chen Mo was halfway through his words, but he couldn't hold himself up anymore and fell on the table.
It really does work on people.
At this moment, I feel a little nervous. Although I have the music score on how to wake up, after all, the people I just hypnotized are three living people, not cats and dogs. If the wake-up song doesn't work,
So what should we do?
With trembling hands, I opened the notebook where Xiang Yu had just rearranged the score, and then started playing according to the notes of the score.
But I was too nervous, so this time it didn’t go so smoothly, and there were always mistakes.
It took about three or four repetitions before I played the awakening tune completely.
