Chapter Sixteen Midnight Singing
"Xiao Yitong, how do you feel about the first trip down the mountain? Do you have a clue?"
"Now that we're in, we're going to approach the inner courtyard. If we're not sure, let's just dig through it." I said.
"The little girl is too young and too impulsive, that's not good," Yu Huai said.
I turned around and went inside to marry Qin. "Which do you know better, the flute or the guzheng?"
Yuhuai shook his head and said, "Is this flute okay?"
"If they don't come out, we have to lure them out. Learn it in two days," I said.
"What's this song?"
"The young prince's mother and concubine are from southern Xinjiang. This song is the most widely sung there. I am afraid that the prince's mother and concubine must have sung it to him when he was a child. Let's do this today. By the way, go prepare some food.
"You can't just play music at night, you'll get hungry." Then he turned around and went back to the house.
Yu Huai smiled and muttered, "He really knows how to make arrangements."
During the day, we went out to look for people named Li, and when we came back at night, we rested separately. Lao He sometimes came over to see us and ask us about our situation, although there were people following us every day when we went out. These two days were pretty easy.
"Wu Hua, the moonlight is beautiful tonight, let's come and enjoy the moon." The moon had just risen, and Yu Huai called me out grandly.
"The moon is not high yet. Let's go out for a walk, eat something, and take your flute." I left the yard empty-handed.
"Wait for me."
"When I was walking around during the day, I remembered there was a lake. Let's go there." Yuhuai and I walked leisurely.
"Xiao Yitong, is there anyone you know in Beijing? You can go and meet them after this period of time." Yuhuai said.
I lowered my head and thought for a moment. There were more than just people I knew in Beijing. They were all too familiar. Seeing that I didn't answer, Yuhuai tilted his head and looked at me.
"Let's go to the pavilion in the middle of the lake," I said.
"The scenery of the palace is quite strange, and the courtyard is really beautiful." Yu Huai said with a smile on his face.
"After all, this is a palace, and there are always guests. I guess the best way to take their house is from the front door to the living room," I said.
After wandering around for a while, we finally arrived at the Pavilion in the Heart of the Lake, where the moon was higher again.
"It's extra quiet tonight, and there's some desserts in this Huxin Pavilion." Yu Huai was about to extend his hand.
"Brother, I miss home." I looked at the moon, and Yu Huai turned around and walked next to me.
"I know you feel uncomfortable. After all, you have never left home since you were a child. Now that my parents are gone, it doesn't matter if we wait until we find the person my parents left for me, we should have a fixed residence. Brother
I will definitely take good care of you." Yu Huai also looked at the moon.
"I miss my mother. Do you think she will be watching us from the sky? Look, it's on the moon." I said.
"Let me play you a song that my mother often sang for us." Yu Huai took out the flute and started playing.
After playing for a while, two figures also entered the lake pavilion. After the song was finished, one of them started to speak.
"I'm sorry to disturb you two. I was attracted by this song and I don't know what its name is."
I turned around and saw that it was the man who slept soundly that night. And the man next to him, I was afraid that he would turn into ashes and I knew him, Qin Huai.
"It's an unknown ditty from our hometown, and it doesn't have a formal name. It's just sung by everyone and everyone can hum it. It's just to remember our loved ones and express our thoughts. Do you like it, sir?" I said.
"It's just that this song sounds so friendly, so I'm attracted to it. My mother often hums similar tunes. Are you two from southern Xinjiang?" the man said.
"Exactly. My sister-in-law and I grew up in southern Xinjiang. Don't you know who the young master is?" Yu Huai said.
"This yard is mine."
