Chapter 916 Where in life do we not meet each other

When the old man heard Su Xing's question, he was stunned for a moment, then replied: "I bought this flute in Lin'an. It's a Lingsheng flute. I've been using it for quite a few years."

Su Xing nodded upon hearing this, "Is that so..."

The old man asked Su Xing: "Girl, do you want to learn to play the flute?"

Su Xing smiled and said, "You play the flute very well. It has aroused my interest."

A mother with her daughter nearby also smiled and said, "If my child is interested in the flute, I would also like to send her to learn it."

The little girl next to her said, "Then mom, please buy me a flute too!"

The old man said to Su Xing and the mother and daughter, "You are just beginners, so there is no need to buy an expensive flute. Just buy one that you can play."

The flute in his hand cost thousands of dollars when he bought it.

Su Xing and the child's mother both thanked the old man.

Su Xing stayed in the pavilion for a while, then left and continued to stroll around the West Lake.

She didn't have a flute now, so it was unrealistic for her to start the mission.

After all, the flute needs to be played with the mouth and is a relatively personal instrument. It would be too presumptuous for her to ask the old man to borrow the flute.

At noon, Su Xing had lunch in the scenic area.

Continue shopping in the afternoon.

When she walked to the door of the cultural and creative store near the White Pagoda, she paused slightly and then walked in.

Most of the products sold in the cultural and creative stores in Slender West Lake are cultural and creative products with Slender West Lake themes, as well as some items with Guangling characteristics.

Coincidentally, Su Xing actually saw flutes for sale in the store!

She picked up the flute on display and examined it carefully.

The clerk at the side smiled and introduced to Su Xing: "This flute is made of our Guangling local bitter bamboo. The bamboo is thick, has good rebound, high sensitivity, and sounds crisp and bright. It is a high-quality material for making flutes."

Su Xing took a look at the price tag: 128 yuan per stick.

She said to the clerk, "Hello, I want to buy this flute."

The clerk smiled and said, "I'll get you a new box of flutes."

Su Xing paid the money and then opened the packaging of the new flute.

The box doesn't just contain the flute, it also comes with accessories such as flute membrane, flute membrane glue, flute cover, flute stopper, cleaning cloth, etc.

Su Xing checked and fiddled with them one by one, then packed everything up and put it away.

She walked out of the cultural and creative store and thought: I wonder if the old man playing the flute is still in the scenic area?

She plans to go look for someone.

Su Xing walked back to the Twenty-Four Bridges.

I went to the pavilion where I met the old man before, but found that he was no longer there.

This is not surprising. In such a large scenic area, the old man may not always play the flute in one place.

So Su Xing left the pavilion, kept his ears perked up, and continued to look for the old man throughout the scenic area.

When she was almost at Fuzhuang, she heard the flute sound again!

This time the song I played was "We'll Meet Again and Again".

Su Xing quickly followed the sound of the flute.

She walked closer and saw that it was indeed the old man she had met in the morning.

At this moment, there are still several tourists gathered around the old man. Everyone is listening to the old man's flute music and appreciating the beautiful scenery around him.

Su Xing didn't go forward to disturb the old man for the time being.

She stood diagonally behind the old man, listening carefully to the music he played.

When the old man finished playing the song, Su Xing raised his hand and started clapping.

"Clap clap-!"

The tourists around also applauded.

"Pah, pah, pah—!"

Some tourists praised the old man.

"Uncle, you play the flute beautifully."

"Yes, it sounds really nice."

The old man's face was flushed, and he smiled and nodded to everyone, saying modestly, "It's so-so."

Su Xing also spoke at this time, "Uncle, good afternoon."

The old man thought the voice sounded familiar, he turned around and found that the person he saw looked even more familiar!

Isn’t this the little girl I met near the Twenty-Four Bridges before?

The old man said in a pleasantly surprised tone: "Little girl, we meet again, what a coincidence!"

Su Xing smiled and said, "Unfortunately, I was looking for you."

The old man was stunned for a moment, then said in surprise: "You came to me earlier?"

Su Xing first asked: "Have you had lunch?"

The old man said, "I just ate it a few days ago."

Su Xing asked again: "Do you have time now?"

The old man's eyes were full of doubt, but he still answered: "I have nothing to do right now, and I still have some time."

When Su Xing heard the old man say that he had time, she took out the flute she had bought earlier from her backpack and said, "Uncle, this is the flute I just bought. Can I learn how to play it from you?"

The old man's eyes widened. He was really surprised this time. "Oh my! You bought the flute so quickly? Where did you buy it?"

This little girl is really a person of action!

Su Xing said, "There's a cultural and creative store over at the White Pagoda that happens to sell flutes, so I bought one when I saw it."

The old man never expected that just by playing a tune he could actually arouse the girl's interest in learning the flute.

He feels quite accomplished.

Especially when he saw that this pretty girl looked eager to learn, his interest in teaching also increased.

He smiled and agreed: "Okay, then I will teach you the basic skills of playing the flute first."

Su Xing was very happy when she heard that the old man agreed.

She asked the old man, "What's your name, old man?"

The old man said, "My last name is Mu."

Su Xing put the flute and the backpack on the bench next to him.

She bowed solemnly to Mr. Mu and said, "I am Su Xing, a student. I am honored to meet you, Mr. Mu."

The old man was stunned again by Su Xing's behavior, and then a relieved smile appeared on his face.

"Hey, little girl, don't be so polite! Don't be so polite!"

"It should."

After Su Xing finished speaking, he quickly went to a cold drink stand not far away and bought two bottles of drinks.

She came back, put a bottle of water on the chair, and handed another bottle of water to the old man with both hands.

"Teacher Mu, the weather is hot, please have a drink."

The old man took the drink and said, "Oh my, you are so polite!"

Several tourists nearby, witnessing this scene, couldn't help but smile kindly.

This little girl is quite polite and capable.

Then, the old man officially began teaching Su Xing to play the flute.

The old man first taught Su Xing how to stick the flute membrane, and then taught her about the structure of the flute, including the flute body, blowing hole, membrane hole, sound hole and other parts.

Then I started to tell her the posture of playing the flute.

"You need to keep your body straight, and when you stand, your feet should be as wide as your shoulders. When you sit to play the flute, you need to sit straight, and don't hunch over."

"You have to hold the flute in the right position. For example, if you hold the flute with your right hand, the ring finger, middle finger and index finger of your right hand should press the first, second and third holes respectively. The ring finger, middle finger and index finger of your left hand should press the fourth, fifth and sixth holes respectively. Both hands should be relaxed naturally, and your arms should not be too stiff."
