Cao Mu stopped eating at home a few years ago, and his family didn’t seem to care where he ate, but Ji Mo knew it. After following Cao Mu for a while, Cao Mu would take him there at noon On the mountain, when he found the mountain hut, Ji Mo felt the joy of discovering a treasure.

"Master, Master, are you resting here at noon?"

"Yeah, let's eat here."

Cao Mu didn't let Ji Mo enter the house, so he let him wait at the door. The area around the wooden house has been cleaned up to a certain extent, and there are no weeds, let alone snakes, insects, rats and ants. The trees are still separated At a distance, several mossy wooden piles are like natural stools.

Ji Mo looked interesting, so he didn't sit on it hastily. He was afraid that some insect would bite him hard, and he was poisoned. He stood outside and looked around honestly. Cao Mu didn't let him run around, so he really didn't mess around. run.

In the room, seeing Ji Mo's obedient appearance through the cracks in the planks, Cao Mu's lips smiled. He took out dry food from the room. It was made in advance, and it was softer than a stone. After a while, there is another bamboo tube of water.

"These are not tasty, so I won't give them to you. Have you eaten them all?"

Cao Mu came out and said casually, and sat down on a wooden stake. Ji Mo also noticed that wooden stake, it was a bit glossier than the others, probably because it often rubbed against the clothes when sitting on it.

"Well, I ate it."

Ji Mo followed Ji Dalang back and forth every day. It was impossible to go home at noon that day, so he just went back at night. At noon, Ji’s mother was worried about the meal at Cen Carpenter’s house. In the morning, he specially prepared pies and the like, and it was almost noon At that time, Ji Dalang borrowed the fire from Cen's house, and it was ready to eat after a little heat.

Two boiled eggs were also prepared, one was eaten by Ji Mo, and the other was given to Cao Mu when it came.

At first, Cao Mu thought it was prepared by the Ji family, and when he handed over to Ji Dalang, he said that he should not prepare eggs for himself. Only then did Cao Mu know that eggs were Ji Mo's ration.

"With the small ones, the big ones won't hurt people."

Ji Dalang said, as if he was talking about himself, in fact, when he first went to Carpenter Cen's house, Ji's mother used to prepare food for him in this way, and then gradually changed.

Knowing that Ji Mo had his own intentions, Cao Mu only felt that the eggs he ate later were even more delicious.

After eating a few bites of pancakes and drinking water from a bamboo tube, Cao Mu wiped his mouth, and when he walked into the house, he took Ji Mo with him and told him not to tell anyone what he saw in the house .

"Don't say it, I definitely won't say it, this must be our master's secret!"

Ji Mo's eyes lit up, and he made an "x" on his mouth like a child, expressing that he would never say anything, and he would never tell anyone who asked.

At this point, his credibility has been tested by Cao Mu.

Cao Mu smiled, and led him into the house. There were no windows on all sides of the house. It looked a little weird from the outside, like a cage. When I walked in, I found that the lighting was actually very good. The windows opened to the roof, and the surrounding The gaps in the planks are large enough not to impede ventilation.

A large table was placed under the skylight, and the things placed on it were covered by straw mats. Ji Mo followed Cao Mu as he approached, and saw that he lifted the straw mats, and the guqin that had already completed its shape was quietly playing. Lying down, there is no colorful reflection, no delicate lines, and some wood thorns can still be seen on the guqin that is still being processed, but finally the real thing can be seen.

Ji Mo was a little moved. It was worth it to send water back and forth under the sun these days.

"Master, what is this? It's so beautiful!"

Ji Mo moved closer, but didn't reach out his hand. He has always been a good boy, and no one can say that he never stretches out his hand carelessly.

Cao Mu is very satisfied with his performance, he is still young, and he can't hold back things anymore, now that he has a tried and tested apprentice, he just wants to show off.

"This is the piano."

Cao Mu caressed the body of the piano lightly, the unpainted wood color maintained its original appearance, it didn't look very luxurious, on the contrary, it was a bit rough because it hadn't been polished, but in Cao Mu's eyes, it was more precious than any jewelry. moving.

"Wen Wang Yanyi, Wu Wang Li Ge, harvesting the sun and the moon, seizing the stars and guarding them, the five elements inside, the five sounds outside, revealing the heaven and the earth, dragons, ponds and phoenixes, rhymes with all phenomena, and the sound spreads across the universe."

"This is the qin, like heaven and earth, and like people."

When it came to "like a human being", Cao Mu's voice sank, and there seemed to be a trace of complicated emotions hidden in that pure love, his eyes were dark, and he felt a little scary.

"Sounds amazing!"

Ji Mo's compliment was as straightforward as ever, without any contrasting words. He understood the main idea in the paragraph of his narration to Cao Mu, and it was just a compliment. ?

He licked his lips, chicken feet, it's been a long time since I ate.

"It is indeed very powerful, and it is not something that ordinary people can learn. In the future, I will teach you how to make a violin, how about it?"

Cao Mu's gaze changed again, he seemed to be a little more careless towards the piano, fiddled with the position of the strings, where the strings had not been wound and there was no sound.

"Okay, the piano made by Master must be the best."

Ji Mo boasted like this, the masters who can be selected by the system must be somewhat special.

Since he knew Ji Mo, Cao Mu has heard a lot of this kind of sincere and straightforward praise. If the other party is not sincere, what reason does a child have when he has not shown his piano-making skills? Constantly bragging about yourself?If you talk about sincerity, there seems to be nowhere to explain such sincerity. The children you meet by chance have such sincerity towards you, but your relatives really hurt people's hearts.

Those unhappy things flashed through his mind quickly, Cao Mu lost interest in talking for a moment, touched Ji Mo's head, and asked him to watch obediently, don't disturb, he picked up the tool and devoted himself to doing it. Qin's great career is underway.

The qin placed on the table has been half-made, the shape of the qin has been determined, and half of the internal slots have been opened. Now Cao Mu is opening the other half, and various tools are used in turn.

Apart from repairing, he will also say a few words. For example, the groove is now used for tuning. The volume and sound quality of the piano sound are all determined by the internal groove structure. The size, proportion, shape, and The thickness and thickness of the bottom plate and panel affected will have a slight impact on the subsequent sound of the piano. It can be said that the quality here determines the soul of the guqin.

"Just like the human heart is good or bad, right and wrong, black and white, all in the chest and abdomen, no one can see through, we make the piano to dissect this chest and abdomen to the bottom, so that the sound of the piano can be broad and flawless, shining on the world, and in harmony with nature, If the virtue of a gentleman is neither arrogance nor impetuosity, neither madness nor anger, not changing colors with the wind and clouds, not turning into dust with rain and snow..."

Cao Mu's sleeves were rolled up, and his arms were exerted, the muscles on his forearms protruded slightly, and even his face looked a bit hideous. Ji Mo looked aside, but what he saw was the madness in his eyes. He seems to have put all his emotions into the Qin that has not yet been fully formed, as if he is looking at the one he loves, and he cannot let go or give up.

It didn't take long to make the violin, and about the time of lunch break passed, he put down all the tools, cleaned the tabletop a little, put the violin in place, covered the straw mat, stepped on the table, and closed the skylight above his head , As soon as the piece of black felt was pulled back, the room was suddenly dark, with only the light coming in from the cracks in the surrounding boards, the oblique light was only bright on the edges of the four walls, and the center was still dark.

"Let's go, we have to feed the chickens in the afternoon."

Cao Mu accurately found Ji Mo's position, he was still standing in the previous position, even when his sight was blocked, he didn't move around, this obviously made Cao Mu very satisfied.

"Master, are we still coming tomorrow?"

Ji Mo couldn't wait, what to do with raising chickens, what a waste of time, wouldn't it be good to continue making pianos in the afternoon?

In the past, Ji Mo obviously didn’t like farming the land every day, but raising chickens was rare and interesting. At least he could play with the chickens. Cao Mu never stopped him. To put it bluntly, Ji Dalang saw it once and told him back that if the chicken is always startled, it will not lay eggs well.

Farmers eat less meat, and eggs are a rare nutrient, not to mention that eggs can be sold for money. When there is no large-scale farming, the value of eggs is relatively high. There is no income from eggs. For the situation of the Cao family, if Like worse.

Afterwards, Ji Mo didn't dare to chase chickens carelessly, and his laughter also decreased. Cao Mu also asked, knowing that he was worried, so he just said: "It's okay, let's go play."

That kind of coaxing the child made Ji Mo check the system repeatedly, and it was indeed "completed". Then, it is impossible for the other party not to teach him related skills. Could it be that he likes him so much that it doesn't matter if he doesn't eat eggs?

For this, Ji Mo is also willing to give Cao Mu an egg every day.

The two went down the mountain, and agreed not to tell anyone about the matter on the mountain. Ji Mo didn't even tell Ji Dalang. Fortunately, he didn't tell. He didn't know that Ji Dalang couldn't keep his words. It is true that he doesn't know anything, and when Cao Mu is coaxing the children to play, Cao Mu feels more at ease with Ji Mo.

It is a rare experience for Cao Mu to have a person who is sincere for himself and whom he can trust. He was a child, and he took the time to make a small slingshot for Ji Mo. When raising chickens in the afternoon, he let Ji Mo Mo took a slingshot to play chicken.

"Master must want to eat chicken!"

After Ji Mo came home, he vowed to tell Mother Ji that he wanted Mother Ji to share some of the chicken that had been prepared at home. He never said that Cao Mu encouraged him to play chicken. It was Ji Mo who wanted to distribute the good things in the house again, not to mention the eggs, she would always bring an extra egg for Ji Mo in the future, but the chicken...

"I haven't got my son's filial piety yet, but let my son be filial to others first."

Ji's mother seemed dissatisfied, but the next day, she still left a bowl of chicken for Ji Mo to take away, and asked Ji Dalang to keep an eye on it, don't give favors and give them wrong, let alone be taken advantage of by the women of Cao's family.
