fingertip quicksand

The door is opened, and after entering, one finds that there is a cave inside. The layout inside the house is actually the same as the outside, mainly made of wood. The only thing that stands out is the pianos that are regularly placed around it.

The location is very suitable and not very suitable. In short, it doesn't match this kind of antique place, but after looking at it for a long time, I think it looks good. This place should be a private collection of pianos. love the piano

If you take a closer look, you will find that the pianos inside are all very famous. For Bai Bai, who also loves pianos, it is indeed a bit dumbfounded for a while.

She glanced over, stunned for a while, as if seeing a baby, she couldn't help running over, touching one after another, as if no one was there, she looked like seeing a rare treasure, immersed in her own world

Nan Jiu leaned quietly on a black piano, looked at the happy child-like girl in front of her, and smiled slightly at the corner of her mouth, she was even happier than Bai Bai in her heart, seeing her happy, she just It seems that the world is also sunny

Uncle Li stood aside, frowning slightly, his usual serious expression became more gloomy at this moment, he was a little worried when he saw Nan Jiu's unconscious smile, his lips moved, he wanted to say something, but he hesitated no opening

"Like it?"

Bai Bai's whole body was barely pasted on those pianos, and he answered with a raised tone.

“Of course I like it”

"Then give it to you?"

"what?"

Bai Bai turned around in surprise, and looked at Nan Jiu who was standing not far away, what she said seemed to be just a joke, like a joke but not a joke

"If you like it, I can give it to you. Anyway, it's just a decoration with me."

Speaking of this, Nan Jiu's expression obviously dimmed. There was regret and helplessness in that expression. Bai Bai caught her emotional change at this moment, but before asking, Nan Jiu patted her gently with his left hand. Patting the arm of his right hand, the smile seems to have a bit of bitterness

"Because this hand can't play anymore, so these are just a bunch of useless iron lumps to me"

Uncle Li's tense face, after hearing Nan Jiu's words, suddenly became more tense, and he interrupted

"Miss"

Seeing that Uncle Li was so nervous, Nan Jiu just nodded and smiled, as if she didn't care at all.

"I'm fine. It's been so many years. I'm not the kid who will cry when I talk about it."

I don't know why the atmosphere has been a bit dull after this topic started, maybe it's because of Uncle Li's fussy interruption, or it may be that the person who started this topic has some low-key

Nan Jiu walked slowly to a white piano, looked down for a while, and then sat on the small stool in front of the piano. She put her left hand on the keys of the piano calmly, and gently touched the keys. After a long time, he seemed to hesitate for a while, and finally put his right hand up

But after a while, the right hand has been trembling since it was put up, a very subtle kind of trembling, but these tremblings are enough to sentence you that you will never be able to touch the piano again

Nan Jiu didn't play, but simply put the handicraft on the keys, and fell into her own thoughts, looking a little lonely, lonely and gloomy

In fact, when he saw Nan Jiu for the first time, Bai Bai could feel this. At first, he didn't know the reason, and even thought it was his own illusion. Now it seems that it may not be an illusion, but a real existence , she is indeed lonely, is it because she can't play the piano with her hands?Does she like to play?Like yourself more?

Bai Bai took a step forward without haste, and approached Nan Jiu's position step by step. Nan Jiu seemed to feel the approach of someone, and looked up.

The chandelier on the roof is a bit dazzling, making people unable to open their eyes for a while, and the girl named Bai Bai is stepping on the dazzling light and approaching step by step, the halo of light draws a blurred outline on her body, that outline As the distance gets closer and closer, it becomes clearer

A clean smile and a clean smell

Bai Bai sat beside Nan Jiu, rubbing his arms against each other because the distance was very close, and he could feel the temperature of the other party

Bai Bai put his right hand on the piano, and the sound of the piano came to his ears, cheerful but peaceful. She was playing the song "Summer Night", which was a familiar melody. Nan Jiu also moved his left hand inadvertently. When she got up, she echoed her right hand, she echoed her left hand, everything flowed smoothly, as if it was a person's hands

After the song ended, Bai Bai laughed, and she said

"Maybe I can be your right hand"

Nan Jiu didn't speak, just looked down at the keys like that, seemed to be thinking about something but didn't seem to think about anything, a little quiet, but not awkward

Seeing the reaction of the people around him, Baibai put his hand on her shoulder with some consolation, and patted her lightly. Nan Jiu raised her head and her eyes were replaced by a smile instead of the previous bleakness. The smile was not happy, but even more bitter

"Actually, my hand has healed a long time ago, and it's just because of a heart disease."

At that moment, Bai Bai realized for the first time that maybe the woman he always thought was excellent actually had her unknown side. In fact, everyone has their own secrets, and Bai Bai did not pursue this. What is heart disease? It's not that I'm not curious, but I don't want to uncover people's scars to satisfy my curiosity. That's a bit excessive and despicable

"Play another song?"

Nan Jiu shook his head

"No"

I am afraid that I will like this feeling, I am afraid that I will have an illusion, and I am afraid that after waking up from the dream, I will be even sadder, so cut off the dream before it starts

Bai Bai didn't insist anymore, Nan Jiu got up and walked towards the door, without looking at her again, but turned her back, looking at the scenery outside the door, the piano sounded again, it was Bai Bai playing behind her, something followed These sounds keep getting clearer and clearer

When Nan Jiu's mother was young, her appearance was almost [-]% similar to that of Nan Jiu now, with some feminine heroism in her eyebrows and eyes, but for such a cold and beautiful woman, her face was covered with various bruises, and the corners of her mouth were cracked. It seems that the clear flesh and blood can be seen in the cracked place. These slightly terrifying scars have covered up her original beauty.

Nan Jiu, who was only ten years old, closed her eyes, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly, proving that she was not asleep at the moment, and looked a little restless and unsettled. In the dark night, she knew that her mother was packing her luggage, and the closet was opened. Close it again, put down the clothes and pick them up again

Then these noisy voices stopped abruptly, there was a slight creaking sound from the door, and the door was about to open, the sound was obviously very small, it was a deliberately low sound, but it was unusually harsh in the dark night, or it was not a sound It's too big, it's just that the heart can't settle down, Nan Jiu's eyes inadvertently shed tears, dripping wet the bedding

The corners of the tear-stained eyes opened, looking at the leaving figure of the mother, tears glistened in the ruddy eye sockets, at this moment the mother turned her head, seeing such a scene, a little panic flashed in her eyes, and in just a moment panic

Nan Jiu looked at her mother with begging eyes, and got up from the bed. She was a little scared, and gently pulled the corner of her mother's clothes. The material of the clothes was slippery, silk clothes, soft and slippery , feels very comfortable, but it has some unrealistic feeling, which makes the restless heart more disturbed, and said in a voice so small that it can hardly be heard

"Can't mom take me too?"

is it not OK?Can't you?Just such a trivial request

The mother showed a distressed expression, as if she was thinking about it, but the time to think about it was only a few seconds, and soon the mother threw the girl who was holding on to the corner of her clothes roughly, and the girl fell staggeringly. On the ground, there was a bone cracking sound from the right hand

The ten-year-old girl resisted the pain and struggled for a while before getting up from the ground, but at this moment, her mother had already opened the door and walked away. Nan Jiu chased her out barefoot. It was the cold floor. There is no temperature, just like the mood at that moment, that resolute figure did not look back, just left without hesitation.

The pain in my right hand is the only memory I have of that night, the last time I saw my mother

That night, she was barefoot, enduring the coldness of her feet and the tingling sensation from her right hand in the cold night, waiting for her mother to come back, but until dawn, there was no one around the corner. Nan Jiu knew that her mother would not back, never again

But even if you want to leave, why can't you bring yourself, why should you stay here, I can't figure it out

When the father came back, he was still smelling of alcohol. Father was addicted to alcohol, and after drinking, he would lose control of his emotions. Once this happened, he was very likely to beat someone, and the attack was very vicious. To put it bluntly, , It's almost like a psychopath, and my mother was forced to leave because of this, the departure is reasonable, no one can bear it, no one can bear it

Nan Jiu looked at his drunken father, with hatred and fear in his eyes, and mustered up the courage to go over

"dad"

There was no response, the father just lay on the sofa half asleep and half awake, the soft sofa sank in, making the person lying on it feel very comfortable

"My hand hurts"

It hurts so much that every movement is like a thousand swords piercing the heart. I can hardly lift my fingers. I only know that it hurts, it hurts, it hurts, and it hurts so much that I forgot about my mother's abandonment for a short time. This pain is more painful than my mother's abandonment , as if about to break

"Go to your mother, tell me why your hand hurts"

The father is still a bit vicious. Nan Jiu is afraid of her father. She is actually more disgusted than afraid of her. She hates the person who forced her mother away. Although she knows it is her father, she is still very afraid and dislikes it.

Looking for a mother, where is there a mother, where should people who will never come back look again, those grievances swarmed, and the emotions seemed to be suppressed to the limit, so they vented out, the girl sat down on the ground , burst into tears, crying heartbreakingly, she is just a child, a helpless child

The father was in a very unstable mood because of drinking. Hearing these loud cries, he sat up from the sofa, squinted his eyes and looked at the daughter who was sitting on the ground rolling around. mind

"I'm working hard outside, and I have to wait on you guys every day. It's not fun to look for me sincerely, is it?"

Where did the girl understand these words, she only felt wronged, hurt, and helpless, all did not stop crying because of these words, but intensified, which made the already angry person even more angry

He walked over quickly and kicked the girl in the stomach. The girl was kicked one meter away, but the floor was very smooth, so he was able to draw such a long distance. In fact, the kick was not very heavy. It's just that this kind of strength is already quite serious for a ten-year-old child

The girl subconsciously wanted to cover her stomach with her right hand, but found that she couldn't move, and couldn't cry after the pain was so extreme

"Hand hurts, doesn't it?"

The tone was still vicious, with some violence mixed in. The father walked over and stepped on the girl's right hand. The black leather shoes covered the arms, and he could feel the rough texture of the soles. It was stained with muddy water, is it because it's raining outside?

No matter how the girl begged for mercy, the father did not let go of his foot, and the strength gradually increased, and the pain from the arm made people faint for a while

Human nature is so indifferent, the face is ferocious and terrifying, that scene will never be let go for a lifetime
