A low and elegant voice sounded as Lopez's fingertips danced.
Like slowly flowing water, it penetrates people's hearts little by little.
The melodious voice is like a whisper with lowered eyes, melancholy and sad.
Su Bai stood behind Lopez, listening quietly with her eyes closed, as if the whole world turned gray.
The vitality is withering away bit by bit.
Unknowingly, the corners of Lopez's eyes were moist.
After a long time, Lopez's fingertips stopped.
Su Bai took a deep breath. Su Bai, who was not very sensitive to music, was also deeply touched by Lopez.
Lopez, who stopped, did not look back, but simply said: "This song was my mother's favorite when she was alive. It was also brought by her from the Earth. It is also the only memory she left for me."
"Good to hear."
Su Bai replied appreciatively.
"Let me tell you a story."
Lopez seemed lost in memories.
Su Bai stood quietly and listened.
"After my mother came to the Astor Empire, she suffered all kinds of humiliation. Sometimes even death was a luxury. But one day, her fate changed. She was raped by a noble family in the Astor Empire.
I bought it, and the job she was responsible for was very simple, which was to clean the clarinet piano."
"Life was going fine until one day, when my mother was cleaning the clarinet piano, she touched the keys and heard the familiar notes. She was touched again like a zombie, and she became interested.
This music is played here.”
"When the music ended, there was a burst of applause, and the noble man who bought her appeared. He said to my mother. Do you know why I bought you? My mother shook her head. And he told my mother, that is
Because you can play the piano, and he likes music very much. After saying that, he favored my mother on this piano."
When Lopez said this, he slowly raised his head that was originally lowered.
"Will the situation improve later?"
Su Bai asked subconsciously.
"The fate has changed, but not in a good direction, but in the endless abyss. From that day on, my mother's misfortune came. After my mother had an affair with the noble master, she was discovered by his mistress, so
She was subjected to inhuman abuse every day. As long as they could think of it, there was nothing that had not been absent from my mother. And the aristocratic master was a useless person who had married into a wife. He had no status or ability at all and would only stand aside and watch.
, silently. Later, my mother's body became more and more strange, and the fact that she was pregnant with me was exposed. What greeted her was even more severe torture. I don't know what power supported her in giving birth to me.
, later when I was six years old, my mother could not bear the torture and eventually died on this clarinet piano, and I was also thrown out to fend for myself!"
"This kind of thing is very common in the Astor Empire, but I still survived. And I climbed up step by step, stepping on countless blood and bones, to achieve my status today."
Lopez seemed to be narrating a very commonplace incident.
However, Su Bai could deeply feel Lopez's painful life from his words.
"I know that you really want to ask who are those people locked in the breeding shed. I can tell you that those are all my father's concubines. I just repeated everything they had done on them.
That's all, of course I won't let them die in such pain."
Lopez's voice is as cold as a glacier.
Su Bai sighed. He had no intention to dissuade Lopez. He had not experienced other people's suffering, so he should not persuade others to do good.
As for the fate of the mistress, Su Bai knew it without even asking.
Su Bai walked to sit next to Lopez, turned to look at Lopez and asked with a smile.
"Does this piece have a name?"
Lopez was also a little touched when she saw the smile on Su Bai's face. She always thought that Su Bai would say something.
"This piece of music has no name, no lyrics, only the melody. My mother also learned it from her mother."
"Then let's compose this piece of music together."
Su Bai picked up a notebook and pen from the table next to him and invited Lopez with a smile.
"You know music?"
Lopez asked in confusion.
"I just understand it a little bit."
Su Bai spoke with a hint of confidence. Although he did not have much musical talent. But in the earth world, when a large amount of knowledge is instilled, art and music are also included, so Su Bai's attainments in this area may be
It's not a master level, but there's no problem with being proficient.
Of course, these are all theoretical, and the real results must be seen in practice.
"good."
Lopez replied.
So Lopez stretched out his hand, placed it on the keys, and started playing the nameless melody again.
Su Bai was composing the melody on the side.
After a long time, Lopez was in a trance while looking at the composed melody.
"Choose a name. This is the most precious thing your mother left for you. It's up to you to choose the most suitable one."
Su Bai suggested with a smile.
Lopez's mind moved slightly. After a long time, she turned to look at Su Bai and said with a smile: "It's better you do it."
Su Bai was also stunned, a little surprised.
"Is this good? After all..."
"good!"
Lopez interrupted Su Bai without hesitation and his words were very firm.
Seeing Lopez's firm gaze, Su Bai was a little confused and didn't understand why she wanted to take it by herself. In the end, Su Bai nodded and agreed.
"In that case, I'll take it."
Lopez nodded heavily.
Su Bai thought for a while and finally said: "Then let's call it Angel Sonata."
"Okay! From today on, this melody is called Angel Sonata."
Lopez replied seriously.
Su Bai picked up the pen and wrote the five words "Angel Sonata" neatly at the beginning of the recorded melody, then closed the note and handed it to Lopez.
"I have always been taking care of you, but I have nothing to give you. And you don't lack anything. This time, even if I borrow flowers and offer them to Buddha, I will give them to you."
Lopez took it, put the notes away, stood up slowly, and walked out.
Su Bai hurriedly followed him. Seeing Lopez's expression becoming more and more silent, he began to wonder if he had said anything.
After leaving the house, Lopez walked to a side corner.
In the corner of the house, there is a very simple tomb with a stone tablet erected on it. However, there is no inscription on the stone tablet and it is blank.
"This is my mother's tomb."
Lopez said calmly.
Su Bai hurriedly arranged his clothes and bowed respectfully to the tombstone.
"Hello, aunt, I'm sorry to bother you..."
Lopez said calmly to Su Bai: "I know very well how painful my mother's life was, and she didn't want to recall the rest of her life. I also understand her hatred for this empire, so I didn't engrave it on the tombstone.
Just say her name and everything in the past is over."
Su Bai stood there for a long time not knowing how to speak. For some reason, Su Bai felt inexplicably sad at this moment.
A slight breeze blew past, messing up Lopez's hair.
