Both households heard the sound of musical instruments.
If I hadn't knocked on the door of a child who was learning piano first...
The old man would probably be happy in vain.
But after learning that the child was practicing piano at home, and after hearing that the other two families said they heard the sound of musical instruments, he was not blindly happy.
After careful comparison and approval, the old man can confirm...
The sound of the musical instrument heard by these two households was not a pipa.
But the piano.
…
He was disappointed.
After thanking the other party, the old man froze in the quiet corridor.
Until his ears caught the subtle sound of the door opening, the old man stepped forward in a panic.
If someone who had just visited saw him still staying here, he would definitely be suspicious.
He himself would also feel embarrassed.
only……
The old man opened his eyes wide.
In panic, after going up a few steps, when he was about to go up another step, he didn't lift his foot high enough and kicked the front step hard with his toes.
His body suddenly tilted.
…..
The old man was very panicked.
However, my ears clearly picked up the sound of footsteps coming from below.
He knew that someone had walked out of the door.
He felt that he should call for help.
Or make a sound.
No matter what the sound is, it's good.
As long as the people below can hear it...
Maybe the people below still have time to save him.
After all, they were only separated by a few steps.
…
But……
The old man's mind moved very quickly.
His mouth also opened.
But no sound was made.
He could only wait for the expected pain to arrive.
…..
Why?
For a while...
The old man slowly straightened up his waist, which had been bent subconsciously due to the fall.
He rolled his eyes slightly stiffly.
He was still in shock.
His mind moves very slowly.
…
What's wrong?
The old man looked down at himself.
His feet were firmly planted on the steps.
It's like going back in time, he hasn't moved to the next level yet.
Everything goes back to before he fell.
But of course this is impossible.
The old man touched his shoulder.
Just now……
Just when he tripped...
The steps were right in front of him.
He could even see the dust on the steps.
Then……
His face should have been in close contact with the steps.
but no.
There seemed to be something touching his shoulder.
His fallen body instantly returned to its original position.
…
Everything happened too fast.
He didn't realize anything at all...
He has already turned the corner.
He doesn't understand...
…
The old man turned his head and looked around.
I want to find my savior who should exist.
If it hadn't been for the opponent, if he had taken this fall seriously, the consequences would have been disastrous.
It was only now that fear slowly seeped into his heart.
My limbs gradually become cold.
He covered his chest.
It became increasingly clear that his heart was beating very fast and heavily.
…
The old man took a few breaths slowly.
He was the only one in the empty corridor.
The footsteps from before are gone.
The old man reached out and grabbed the handrail of the stairs.
There are faint veins on the back of the hand.
The old man's face was still a little pale.
For an old man of his age, the shock just now... was a bit too much.
…
Pipa Ghost tilted his head.
It unconsciously brushed the strings of the pipa in its arms.
Qingyue's voice sounded.
Echoing layer by layer in the empty corridors.
It's become a little bit clearer.
…
Some of the absent-minded old people suddenly became excited.
The scattered eyes regained their light.
It's a bit sharp like a falcon.
He looked up suddenly.
…
The Pipa Ghost happened to catch the old man's gaze.
Pipa Ghost blinked in surprise.
Subconsciously...
A pair of eyeballs fell out of their sockets.
Then I found that the old man's vision did not fluctuate at all...
Pipa Ghost shook his head in a funny way.
For my reaction just now.
It put the fallen eyeball back into its socket.
Blinked slightly.
But in a blink of an eye, Pipa Ghost looked like a normal pale young man again.
…
The old man looked surprised and uncertain.
He actually heard the sound of the pipa in the corridor!?
…
The old man didn't move.
He listened attentively.
Want to find out the origin of Pipa.
seem……
His first reaction after hearing what he just heard...
Did the sound of the pipa come from above?
…
The old man is not sure.
He rubbed his ears until his ears turned red, and he no longer heard the sound of the pipa.
He clenched his fists angrily and knocked hard on the handrail of the stairs.
…
The Pipa Ghost watched quietly as the old man struggled in vain like a trapped animal.
have no idea……
If the old man had known that at the critical moment, it had pressed the pipa against the old man's shoulder, thus saving his life...
How would the old man feel?
…
Pipa Ghost looked away casually.
Until death comes to the old man, the old man will not know this fact.
…
The sudden sound of the pipa occupied all the old man's thoughts.
The old man forgot about the accident he had had just a moment ago.
The only thing he cares about now is...
The origin of the pipa sound.
…
The old man took a deep breath.
Since he felt that the sound of the pipa was coming from above...
Let him go up and have a look.
This was also his original plan.
If he gains nothing at this level.
…
I looked downstairs at home.
Naturally, I can't let go of the upstairs of my house.
The episode just now made him feel depressed due to frequent failures.
Maybe……
Upstairs, the old man could find the answer he wanted.
…
The old man hesitated no longer.
He strode up the stairs.
…
Soon, the old man came to the floor above his home.
The old man knew the way and knocked on the door directly.
You don't need to spend some time on mental construction at the beginning.
…
The Pipa Ghost sits on the rooftop of the stairs.
He held his chin up and watched the old man's every move.
Although he knew that all the old man's actions were in vain, that didn't stop him from watching the fun.
…
The old man's luck seemed to have come to an end.
The old man knocked on the door for almost five minutes.
From gentle to intense.
Until the end, the old man was almost banging on the door.
…
No one ever came to open the door.
The old man put his ear to the door panel.
Didn't hear any movement.
…
After some troubles, the old man had to accept a fact...
The owner of this family has gone out.
…
He missed it.
…
The old man lowered his head and sighed with some regret.
The next second, the old man cheered up.
There are two families left...
…
Still no one answered the door.
…
Holding his breath, the old man walked more and more eagerly to the last door of the most suspicious room.
"Dong dong dong~"
The old man's knock on the door this time had some urgency that was not present in the previous ones.
He prayed secretly in his heart.
Someone, someone, someone...
…
Unfortunately……
The old man felt that his hands were aching, but no one came to open the door.
