He Ziran said: "I didn't expect that Brother Xu also studied the "Huangdi Neijing", which really impressed me."
"That's why, brother, the last time you were in prison, you talked about the many benefits of the "Huangdi Neijing". Later I found a copy and flipped through it, and I really learned a lot about health care."
The two of them found a table and sat down. Xu Huaiyi ordered tea and snacks. The two of them ate and listened to the opera.
As soon as the play "Shiro Visits His Mother" ended, a girl came out. Two helpers carried a guqin and placed it in front of the girl.
The girl bowed to everyone and said softly: "Now I will play an ancient song for everyone. The song is called "Eighteen Beats of Hujia"."
Several officials and scholars clapped, but a fat rich man next to him said: "Girl, there are also two characters for eighteen, you might as well sing "Eighteen Touch". Eighteen beats can Where was it filmed? I've never heard of it."
Everyone burst into laughter and said, "Eighteen touches, eighteen touches!"
At this time, Xu Huaiyi stood up and said: "Speaking of the word 'eighteen', I heard that there is another song called "Eighteen Farewell". Can the girl play and sing?"
The girl once again felt blessed and said in a crisp voice: "I'm sorry, sir, but the little girl only knows "Eighteen Beats of Hujia". Please forgive me, sir."
"Then ask the girl to play. "Eighteen Beats of Hujia" is a famous tune in ancient times." Xu Huaiyi sat down. In fact, he was just trying to save the girl.
He Ziran secretly admired him and said in a low voice: "I didn't expect Brother Xu to know so much. Speaking of "Eighteen Beats of Hujia", I remembered a piano score that Master Tu once gave me!"
"That's it. Brother, why don't you take it out and learn from the girl's playing?"
"Then I need to ask Brother Xu for more advice. I'm not very familiar with music." He Ziran took out the piano score that Tu Beihua gave him, unfolded it on the table, and listened carefully to the girl's playing on the stage.
While listening, Xu Huaiyi told He Ziran about the tortuous life of Cai Wenji, a talented woman in the Han Dynasty. When talking about how Cai Wenji was robbed by the barbarians and later married to King Zuoxian of the Southern Huns, how she missed her hometown, and how she later composed the famous lyrics and music of "Eighteen Beats of Hujia", He Tianzi knew This score is so precious, I can’t help but be very grateful to Tu Beihua.
The girl on the stage started singing from the first beat. He Ziran listened and unknowingly was immersed in the scene. When he heard "Eighteen beats, the music has ended, but the sound is still lingering, the thoughts are endless", He Ziran couldn't help but burst into tears. The woman singing on the stage couldn't help but sob. The audience in the audience were also caught up in it and couldn't extricate themselves. It wasn't until the provocative rich man suddenly shouted "Okay" that everyone applauded!
The girl who was singing stood up and saluted again. When she was about to leave, a group of officers and soldiers rushed in. A man who looked like a captain shouted: "How dare you sing a reactionary song? Come on, arrest this woman." !”
The soldiers swarmed up, tied up the girl, put the piano in a bag, and prepared to take it away. When everyone saw the officers and soldiers running amok, they all dispersed.
Xu Huaiyi whispered: "Brother He, these are officers and soldiers of the government. Due to my father's face, it is inconvenient for me to come forward. Go ahead and save the woman. I will find a way to get the guqin. See you at the inn!" "
He Ziran heard what he wanted, so he pulled out his sword, jumped up and flew to the girl's side. Using the Qingfeng sword technique, he stabbed the legs, hands, and buttocks, and all the officers and soldiers fell down one after another. He Ziran picked up the girl playing the piano, jumped up, and disappeared on the roof!
The girl just felt like she was flying in the clouds, and after a while, she flew far away.
Arriving in a forest not far from the inn, He Ziran put down the girl, untied the rope and asked, "Girl, are you okay?"
The girl was still immersed in the embrace of He Ziran's strong masculine scent, closing her eyes to experience this unique masculine scent. After hearing He Ziran's question, he opened his eyes, broke away from He Ziran's arms, and said shyly: "Thank you, hero, for saving me!"
He Ziran said: "Girl, you're welcome. This lackey of the Qing court is too unreasonable. It's unreasonable to cut such a good piece of music into a reactionary one!"
"They thought this song had the meaning of resisting the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty, so they went to war. Today's imperial court is very sensitive to these things. If someone hadn't given me twenty taels of silver, I wouldn't have dared to sing it."
"Girl, what's your surname? Why did that man give you money to sing?"
"My parents are both seriously ill and have no money for medical treatment. In order to treat my parents' illnesses, I had no choice but to take risks and take over other people's jobs. My name is Guoxing. I don't know the hero's surname? Why did you save me?"
"What, your name is Guoxing? There are very few people with the surname Guo now! I saved you just because of the uneven road, and I have no other intention. Girl, don't worry. My name is He Ziran, it's easy to remember."
Guo Xing said a deep blessing and said: "The grace of saving my life will never be forgotten. Hero He, I will take my leave now."
"Don't worry, girl. I have a friend who wants to help you get the guqin back. You come with me and get the guqin before leaving!"
"It's so good. It's like saving my life. He Daxia, I really don't know how to thank you."
Just as He Ziran was about to answer, he heard the sound of the guqin coming from the inn. He Ziran said happily: "Let's go, my friend has already got the guqin."
Guoxing followed He Ziran to the door of the inn, and saw a scholar playing "Eighteen Beats of Hujia", shaking his head, very involved!
He Ziran was very happy and said: "Brother Xu, you actually know this song! This is Miss Guo, please get to know her."
Xu Huaiyi nodded and said: "This piece is very simple. Come on, brother, I will teach you."
Xu Huaiyi explained one by one how to play the "Gong" sound and how to convert the "Zheng" sound and "Jiao" sound. He Ziran was very sensitive to music and learned to play it in less than an hour.
Guo Xing praised: "He Daxia, you are really a very smart person. I studied for a long time before I got started, but you just got started today!"
"Girl Guo, don't call me a hero, just call me Brother He. I'm not a hero, I'm just going to save you. Okay, now that I've got Qin, I'll take you home."
Fortunately, Guoxing's home was not far away. Xu Huaiyi accompanied He Ziran and sent Guoxing home. He Ziran asked: "I heard that your parents are sick. I am a doctor. Can I take a look?"
Guoxing was so happy that she called her parents out. He Ziran conducted four medical examinations on Guoxing's parents. Guoxing's father said that his shoulder had been hurting for a long time. He went to a local doctor but couldn't find a cure.
He Ziran said: "Old man, you are getting cold air in your shoulders when you are working. Especially in the morning, you cannot go to work too early, otherwise the cold air mixed with moisture will enter your body. Let's do this, I will give you Gua Sha will purge the cold and damp air and it will be cured."
At that time, the weather had turned hot. He Ziran found a horn comb on Guoxing's dressing table and used the comb handle to scrape her father's shoulder near the Dazhui point. A lot of black blood flowed out until it turned red. He Ziran Then he stopped.
Guoxing's father felt his shoulders relax a lot and thanked him repeatedly.
He Ziran diagnosed Guo Xing's mother again. It turned out that Guo Xing's legs were very heavy and she could not walk. After He Ziran looked at it, he diagnosed it as "arthralgia" and inserted a burnt needle into the Zusanli point to replenish the Yangming meridian's righteousness. Then insert the needle into the nose point and prick it for bleeding.
This operation stunned Guoxing's family. Guoxing's father was very happy and asked Guoxing: "Girl, where did you find the miracle doctor? It's so simple to treat a disease, so clever!"
Guoxing's mother was busy cooking food for them, but Xu Huaiyi stopped her and said she had already made an appointment for a dinner.
Guoxing held out twenty taels of silver, handed it to He Ziran, and said, "Mr. He, this is the twenty taels of silver I earned through my adventure. You can take it as a medical fee."
He Ziran said: "Miss Guo, I can't ask for your money. It's just a simple effort to save you, no charge. Let's say goodbye!" He pulled Xu Huaiyi and left.
Guoxing grabbed He Ziran's hand and said, "Brother He, if you don't take the silver, just take the guqin, okay? These twenty taels of silver are enough for us to live. We can also invest and let my dad do something." It’s a small business. I won’t play the piano anymore. I have a bad reputation.”
When He Ziran heard this, he thought it made sense, so he took the guqin and returned to the inn with Xu Huaiyi.
At night, He Ziran and Xu Huaiyi got drunk together and lay on the same bed without knowing who was going on!
The next day, He Ziran discovered that Xu Huaiyi was missing. He searched around for a long time but couldn't find him.
When He Ziran was packing his luggage to leave, he found that his scripture "The Art of Qihuang" was also missing!
