The man stood quietly for a long time and finally tilted the pipa in his arms slightly, pressed his left fingers up and down, and plucked his right fingers. The four silver strings floated between his green jade fingers, roaring graceful music. And his eyebrows and eyes drooped slightly, and his heart was filled with all the music.

Youmeng listened attentively outside the door. His piano sound was meticulous, and the drizzle hit the banana and touched her eardrums lightly. The emotions and the meaning were endless, and it seemed particularly quiet in this quiet night.

Gradually, she heard it, and in a subtle trance, she seemed to have entered a dream, and the dream clearly appeared in front of her, with a piece of blue tiles and white walls, a small bridge and flowing water.

No, this is not a dream, he borrowed her eyes with the sound of the piano, and saw the illusion in his heart through the barrier of reality.

"There are people by the lake, the green mountains of pens and ink, the light boats of small bridges and fishermen sing late... That's what Jiangnan looks like, right?" Youmengqing couldn't help but say, "It's engraved in your heart at this moment, it's so beautiful..."

The man's pipa has not stopped, and the dream continues-

She slowly walked across the bridge, and everything was covered with vague fragrance of tea floated in the mist and rain, as if she knew where she was going, and her feet were walking firmly.

Finally, she walked through the streets and stood outside a rich and elegant courtyard with the plaque titled "Su Mansion". When she opened the door and walked in, she saw the Huashi Qiong Pavilion, the jade tiles and the eaves were flying, and the garden was covered with apricot flowers, and the pink was like smoke and clouds. The soft wind blew gently intoxicated the distant guests. The weak willows called back swallows and flew around...

"Where is this?" Youmeng was amazed by the beautiful scenery in front of her. "Is it your home?"

The man did not respond, and still played the pipa in his arms. However, the string sound was no longer as faint and soothing as before the misty rain in Jiangnan. Instead, it suddenly looked like a thunder and lightning. The night rain knocked on the window, turning to a high point.

The scene in the dream also changed. The horns were roaring in his ears, and the deafening fight was as if in the blink of an eye, heaven became a purgatory. What she saw was the wealthy shogunate, but the magnificent buildings, along with the surrounding plants and trees, were swallowed up in the surging sea of ​​fire. Youmeng looked at the scenes in front of him that symbolized the prosperity of the past and gradually turned into ashes. The dream was too realistic and her body felt so hot that she could even feel the severe pain of the burning fire.

"War... endless war..." She stumbled solemnly, "Is your hometown also destroyed by war?"

At this time, the sound of the pipa inside the door seemed to be a sad sob, becoming weaker and weaker, returning to calm.

At the end of the song, Youmeng woke up from the dream instantly.

The man put away the fingers on the piano, which seemed to be a kind of weak curl. He carried the light on his back, and his lowered eyes became darker, sad, and sadness that penetrated his heart, like a thin frost covering his handsome eyes.

Lixia had been waiting in the Yashi room for a long time, but still didn't see Youmeng coming back, and she felt a little anxious. She stood up anxiously and leaned out of the terrace, looking at the shadow of Youmeng downstairs. People were coming and going, because the musician just now had parted, and the guests in the hall had already left halfway, but they were still bustling.

Looking left and right, I couldn't see Youmeng. Lixia was about to go back to the room when she suddenly saw a group of men with tiger backs and bears coming in from the door of the main hall, holding machetes and sticks in their hands, all of whom looked fierce and fierce.

A servant from the shop came forward to ask timidly, but was pulled up by the leading man and said viciously: "Call your boss out!"

Lixia saw that this attitude was very scary, and she thought it was hard to think that this street was mixed with people. The boss of Lefang made enemies with others in business. The enemy found a thug in the world and rushed tonight to provoke trouble?

The servant was held in his hand by the man in the air, and he was so scared that he trembled all over: "This master, our boss has something to go out and will not be in the yard recently..."

The big man was furious and threw him on the ground roughly: "Then find someone who can manage the business!"

The servant rolled and crawled away, and after a while, a middle-aged man brought from outside, like the shopkeeper here. He looked kind and walked up to greet him politely: "I heard that a few masters want to see our boss?"

"His son owed our gambling house 8,000 taels of silver. It has been almost half a year, and he has not paid back a single son!" The strong man in charge said with a brow, "How is it? The son's debt is paid back!"

The shopkeeper was stunned when he heard this and frowned, as if he didn't know about it at all.

"The boss has given me this time, either pay back the money or..." The strong man acted as if to put his knife on the table in front of the shopkeeper's eyes, "Take the person!"

"Oh, this is not a small number..." The shopkeeper was really panicked, but he had to smile on his face. "I am a shopkeeper, and I can't make the decision for a while. I don't think it's better for the masters to go back today. When our boss comes back, I will tell you about this and he will discuss it with your gambling house. OK?"

"It is natural to pay back the debt!" The big man shouted angrily, with a look of suspicion, "Why is your boss not here as soon as we come? Could it be that he was deliberately avoiding the debt and running away?"

The shopkeeper quickly explained: "How can you do it? You see such a big restaurant is still there, and there are more than 20 people in the store, so how can you just run away?"

"I hope you are not scaring me." The man looked around and said, "But brothers and I can't go back empty-handed today, and it's hard to explain when I go back, so don't blame us for being rude!"
