Chapter 3823 Dissonance
The Pipa Ghost moved closer to the human being.
This is an old man.
To be more precise, he was an old man.
……
The beard and hair are gray.
Wrinkled face.
Even my hands are covered with age spots.
The slight frown made the old man look like he had a bad temper.
……
The Pipa Ghost's tongue almost fell on the old man's face.
The old man didn't notice anything.
Pipa Ghost naturally retracted its shaky eyeballs and overly long tongue.
It sits cross-legged among the flowers.
Soon, a series of melodious pipa plucking sounds sounded.
……
The sun is shining brightly.
Surrounded by flowers.
The sky is blue and very close.
The melody flowing from the pipa ghost's fingers has a bit of brisk jumping.
Echoing the chirping of birds in the trees not far away.
Pipa Ghost grinned-
“It’s so noisy!”
……
A violent voice suddenly sounded.
Like a dissonant note, it interrupted the pipa's ghostly performance.
Pipa Ghost was stunned.
……
It looks towards the source of the sound...
It was the old man lying on the deck chair.
……
The old man's facial features were tightly wrinkled.
The wrinkles on his face were like ravines, making deep carvings.
……
The old man did not wake up.
His eyelids twitched a few times.
Then it gradually calmed down.
……
Pipa Ghost came to his senses.
So...
Was it just a... coincidence?
That phrase "It's so noisy"...
It’s not about the performance of it.
…….
Too.
There's a good chance the human won't hear it played at all.
How could it react to its playing?
And...
Pipa Ghost grinned.
Even if this human being actually heard it played…
How could its performance be considered noisy?
Pipa Ghost has absolute confidence in his playing.
……
The Pipa Ghost plucked the strings again.
In such a beautiful environment, it wants to play a song.
Not for others.
And for this beautiful scenery.
for itself.
……
The Pipa ghost, who was immersed in the performance, did not notice...
The old man's eyelids on the recliner moved again.
His face was wrinkled.
He showed a patient expression.
……
“It’s so noisy!”
The old man finally called out again.
Then he opened his eyes.
He didn't sit up and turned his eyes to one side.
……
After a few seconds, the old man stood up slowly with a look of confusion and confusion.
He reached out and rubbed his head.
Yes...
Illusion?
……
"What's wrong?"
The old lady who heard the noise hurried over.
"Why is it so loud?"
……
The old man waved his hand.
"It's okay."
"Maybe it's a dream."
……
"Dreaming?"
The old lady was a little confused.
"Did you have a nightmare?"
Shouting so loudly...
She actually didn't hear clearly what the old man called.
Then a loud sound was heard.
She thought something had happened...
……
"Nightmare..."
The old man's eyes were slightly startled.
For a while...
"...Yes..."
The old man nodded slowly.
"It was a nightmare..."
……
"It was just a dream."
The old lady comforted the old man.
Then he asked curiously, "What nightmare did you have?"
Both she and the old man don't dream much.
She could count the number of dreams she had in her entire life on five fingers.
Most of them are still nightmares.
……
"...Nothing."
The old man opened his mouth and finally waved his hand.
He looked reluctant to say more.
"It's just a nightmare."
……
"Yeah, it's just a nightmare."
The old lady was a little dissatisfied, "Then there's nothing bad to say."
"Besides..."
"It won't be scary if you talk about it."
…“…”
The old man moved his lips.
"It's nothing really."
……
"Just say nothing."
The old lady and the old man had a fight.
She didn't want to know that much at first, but the old man's repeated evasion only aroused her curiosity even more.
……
“Nothing, what’s there to say?”
The old man made a serious face.
This old woman isn't done yet.
……
"It's nothing, just say it."
The old lady still said the same thing.
Not even an inch of concession.
……
Old man:......
"I'm too lazy to talk to you."
……
Seeing the old woman standing at the door of the balcony angrily, the old man and the old lady were in a stalemate for a while.
In the end, he was defeated first.
"伱ah."
"Why are you insisting on unnecessary things..."
"I won't say..."
"Of course it's because it's hard to say."
The old man pursed his lips.
"...it's a bit embarrassing, do you understand?"
……
The old lady blinked.
"Shameful?"
It's just a nightmare, what's there to be ashamed of?
ah.
Is it because you were frightened by a nightmare?
But she already knew this.
……
"Yes."
The old man broke the jar and smashed it.
"I was startled by a sound."
……
"Voice?"
The old lady opened her eyes wide in surprise.
"Were you frightened by a sound?"
What sound is so scary?
……
"Yeah."
The old man turned away his eyes.
"Drink."
"You're going to laugh, aren't you?"
"I told you it was a shameful dream..."
……
The old woman immediately pursed her lips.
She shook her head.
"No."
"I'm not laughing."
"What's the sound?"
The old lady immediately changed the subject.
….
"...I don't know."
The old man lowered his eyes.
He reached out and picked off a petal that fell on him.
He lied.
He could not recognize many voices.
But that voice... was engraved into his body, his blood, and he recognized the voice after hearing just one syllable.
That is clearly...
The sound of pipa.
But here...
Why is there the sound of pipa?
He thought he was dreaming.
To others, this is just an ordinary dream without any highlights.
But for him...
This is really a nightmare.
……
"Don't know?!"
The old lady raised her voice slightly.
"Didn't you hear that?"
Now that I've heard it all, how could I not know?
……
"Yeah."
The old man nodded.
"But you also know that dreams are always vague."
“I couldn’t actually hear that voice clearly in my dream.”
After people wake up, they become even more confused.
……
"Oh."
The old lady nodded.
"Okay."
"I still have something to do, so I'll go inside first."
……
The old lady turned and left.
Very neat and tidy.
……
Pipa Ghost withdrew his gaze and watched the old lady leave.
It looked at the old man.
This human being...
I really heard it played...
Pipa Ghost's fingers moved slightly.
A series of notes floated out from under his fingers.
……
The old man almost jumped when the first sound came out.
He suddenly turned around and looked around.
Where did the sound come from?
……
His eyes wandered over and over again on the balcony.
Nothing was found.
……
Is it coming from outside?
The old man was lying on the balcony.
Keep your ears open.
Wanted to capture that sound again.
