Chapter 243: The Last Mohican Who Suppressed Yu Shuheng (Please Subscribe!)
After finishing the composing, Li Heng went to bed early for once today and was in bed before 12 o'clock.

As he lay down, he was still thinking, huh? Teacher Yu didn't come to knock on the door today. Could it be that, as Lao Fu said, he was not in Lushan Village?

As soon as this thought came to his mind, there was a knock on the door downstairs.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Boom boom boom!"

Well, I shouldn't have thought about this crap. It's not easy for me to take off and put on clothes in the winter. The tips of the bamboo shoots are frozen, and there's no 37-degree constant temperature to help warm them up.

He went downstairs reluctantly, and the moment he pulled open the bolt, a smile immediately broke out on his face. Without any surprise, it was indeed Yu Shuheng outside.

"teacher."

"Well, is Mai Sui here today?"

"She was taken away by Sun Manning." Li Heng said this and took the initiative to move aside. No matter whether the person came in or not, he would pretend to be welcoming.

Yu Shuheng pondered for a moment, then turned around and walked towards Building 25 opposite without saying a word.

Li Heng looked at her back without moving, thinking that Sister Chen was at home and Teacher Yu had no reason to be afraid.

But he was wrong again. Yu Shuheng walked around her house and then came out again, holding a bottle of red wine in her left hand and two white red wine glasses in her right hand.

The two looked at each other, and Li Heng understood and asked, "Is Sister Chen gone?"

"Something happened at Siya's home, so Lao Fu accompanied her home." Yu Shuheng said.

Is that so? Li Heng looked at the small building No. 24 diagonally opposite and found that there was a door lock across the gate of the courtyard wall, which was obviously locked from the outside.

After letting Teacher Yu in, Li Heng closed the door casually. He didn't ask why he was still afraid.
Because sleep paralysis is a very strange thing, he had suffered from it before and was even afraid to go back home.

The most terrifying incident was when he was about 13 years old. He was lying in bed in the middle of the night. In a daze, he seemed to see a dark shadow floating in from the window and walking straight to the bed. Then the next second he couldn't speak or move his hands, but he was very conscious and his forehead and neck were sweating.

In fact, when he recalled this incident, he still hadn't figured out whether it was an illusion or a dream. Anyway, he was so scared that he didn't eat much for two days. He had no choice but to be dragged by his mother to believe in superstition. As a result, the witch told him to eat a pig's heart.

How do you eat this?
Just cook the pig heart without adding any seasoning or salt. Boil it in plain water and do not chop it into pieces. Then you can hold it in your hands and chew on it.

After the first bite, he felt like vomiting.

After taking the second bite, he actually vomited.

He threw away the pig heart before he finished the third bite, and was chased and beaten by Comrade Tian Run'e.

This was the shadow of his childhood.

It was not until I grew up that I realized that many people actually have sleep paralysis. As for the cause, there are many different explanations.

Yu Shuheng was dressed particularly elegantly today, with her long hair casually tied up and piled on her head.

As they went up the stairs one after another, Li Heng looked at her carefully from behind for the first time. He thought that her green dress, hairstyle, and strong scholarly air made her look very charming.

The only thing is that Teacher Yu is still Teacher Yu, she is too cold. It is the kind of situation where she doesn't talk and it is difficult for others to talk to her.

Walking up the wooden stairs, the two reached the second floor amidst a slight creaking sound.

She looked around at the entrance of the corridor and asked him, "Li Heng, are you sleepy now?"

Li Heng was not sleepy at all. He replied, "Not bad."

Hearing this, Yu Shuheng came to the coffee table, sat casually on the sofa, and said to him with a smile:

"I'm craving for wine today, so please drink with me."

"to make."

Li Heng walked over and sat down on the sofa.

The red wine seemed to have been released. She placed the two glasses on the coffee table and poured them gracefully. Then she handed one to him and took the other for herself.

She said nothing, but signaled Li Heng to clink glasses with her eyes, and then drank in small sips.

Is he worried about something? He guessed secretly, but didn't ask, and accompanied him leisurely.

It was late at night and everyone, whether human or dog, was asleep. Apart from the occasional clinking of wine glasses, the only sound was probably everyone's breathing. It was eerily quiet.

After finishing a glass of wine, neither of them communicated.

After two cups, the same thing happened.

When they were halfway through the third cup, Yu Shuheng suddenly asked, "Can I ask you a question?"

Li Heng said: "Teacher, you say."

Yu Shuheng's scattered gaze suddenly focused on his face: "How did you create "Original Landscape of Hometown"?"

Ok?
Why ask this question?
I remember I gave her a brief explanation before, doesn't she believe it?

Li Heng was thick-skinned, so he didn't change his words and spoke as usual: "The scattered tunes have been in my mind for many years, and it has become what it is now as time has accumulated."

Yu Shuheng smiled elegantly, turned the wine glass in her hand and said, "I asked friends at home and abroad to look for it, but there is no trace at all.

To be honest, I was skeptical at first. Your ocarina level is just okay at best, but you still have a long way to go before you reach the pinnacle.

My first thought was, there’s no way you could write something this good.”

After listening, Li Heng got up and went into the study without saying a word, then took out an erhu and played "The Original Scenery of Hometown" in front of her.

After he finished playing, he calmly asked, "Teacher, what do you think of my erhu skills?"

Yu Shuheng stared at him, wanting to say something but stopping herself.

If his ocarina skills are average, his erhu skills are undoubtedly extremely high.

Seeing this, Li Heng closed his eyes and thought for a while, then said to her: "I have another one, teacher, please listen to it."

After that, he began to play the world-class masterpiece "The Last of the Mohicans" on the erhu.

As the strings moved, the living room was suddenly filled with an atmosphere of desolation, helplessness and despair. The beautiful melody struck the soul directly. Even Yu Shuheng, who had seen the world, was stunned at this moment.

After 3 minutes and 50 seconds, Li Heng opened his eyes and looked at the woman on his right.

At this moment, Yu Shuheng had lost her previous expression. She stared at the red wine in the glass, immersed in the music for a long time without coming back to her senses...

Finally, she raised her head with difficulty: "What is the name of this song?"

Their eyes met, and Li Heng said slowly, "It's called 'Distrust'."

Upon hearing this, Yu Shuheng opened her lips slightly, then closed them again. After taking a deep breath for a while, she slowly stood up, turned around and walked towards the corridor entrance.

Then there was the sound of footsteps coming down the stairs.

Oh, is he angry and left? Li Heng blinked, put down his erhu, and followed him downstairs. He didn't try to persuade him, but just went to close the door.

But he was obviously wrong. This woman had finished her red wine, so she ran home to get a bottle of Moutai. At the same time, she did not forget to change two new wine glasses.

Li Heng stood at the door, "Would you like to drink white wine?" "Red wine is not satisfying enough." She said lightly, but her eyes were fixed on his eyes.

Li Heng: “.”

You can't tell, such a cool and elegant lady with a scholarly air, is actually a hidden alcoholic.

Close the door and go back to the second floor.

As usual, she poured two glasses of white wine, handed one to him, and drank the glass in her hand silently.

She drank a glass of white wine in one gulp.

After drinking, she didn't explain, but filled the empty cup by herself, and then just stood there looking at him.

He didn't move, and she didn't move either.

After a while of confrontation, Li Heng understood that the teacher was apologizing for his suspicious behavior just now.

When being questioned, he can just vent his anger and come up with a world-famous song to refute the question, but as a man, he cannot be petty when it comes to apology.

Li Heng showed his neat and white teeth with a very sunny smile. He took the initiative to clink glasses with her and took the lead in taking a big sip.

Her gaze lingered on his face for a moment, and Yu Shuheng took a big sip, drinking almost the same amount as him, and then sat down gracefully on the sofa.

Li Heng also sat down and started the topic, saying: "This piece of music was created when I was reading materials about the invasion of the Mohicans by European and American colonists.

I originally wanted to call it The Last of the Mohicans, but I felt the colors were too strong, so I changed the name to Desolation.

Yu Shuheng hooked her hair around her ears, thought for a while and said, "The name of a song is very important. It would be good to call it "The Last of the Mohicans."

Li Heng had only asked tentatively, and was immediately relieved to get her support.

With a glass of white wine as a buffer, the atmosphere between the two gradually improved.

After more than ten minutes of conversation, Yu Shuheng took a rare close look at him and said meaningfully:

"No wonder he is so popular with women, he is really talented."

In a word, she recognized Li Heng's originality and his extraordinary talent in musical attainments.

Because for god-level songs like "Original Landscape of Hometown" and "The Last of the Mohicans", one may be accidental, but once the two are released, all doubts will go away, including Mr. Yu, who has a great family background and is well-informed.

What's more, Li Heng has proved himself strongly with the erhu!

People who play music all understand that if you know one thing, you can know many things. If the erhu can play a piece of music, other instruments can also play it to the same good effect.

The only difference is, which instrument is most suitable?
Obviously, Yu Shuheng automatically imagined a scene in her mind: that is, Li Heng originally composed the song using the erhu, but was inspired by listening to his own ocarina playing many times, so he switched to using the ocarina at the school's welcome party.

But one has to admire his sensitivity. As far as "The Original Scenery of Hometown" is concerned, the ocarina is undoubtedly the most perfect.

Faced with such a profound question from the teacher, Li Heng pretended not to understand, smiled, and touched her again.

If alcohol can bring people closer, then the super-terrifying musical talent that Li Heng showed tonight completely impressed Yu Shuheng. The two talked much more in one night than in the past three months.

However, maybe it was because she drank the first glass of white wine too quickly and too much, or maybe it was the chemical reaction between the red wine and the white wine, Yu Shuheng's fair and translucent face gradually changed, and a blush quietly crept up, just like a rhododendron taking root and sprouting on her face.

After drinking more than half a cup of white wine, Li Heng was actually a little tipsy, but he could still hold on. He asked, "Teacher, do you want me to get some snacks?"

Under normal circumstances, Yu Shuheng might not have answered this question, but tonight, under the influence of alcohol, she said yes readily.

Then she accompanied him to the first floor, folded her arms around her chest, and leaned against the kitchen door to watch him busy himself.

After searching for a while, Li Heng decided to make three dishes, one braised pork ribs, one lettuce, and one tiger skin green pepper.

He prepared tiger-skin green peppers with chili peppers as a side dish for himself.

Yu Shuheng watched the whole process and felt that he cut the vegetables and cooked smoothly, which was very entertaining.

She couldn't help but ask, "How old were you when you started cooking? You look like you've been cooking for many years."

Li Heng recalled: "I was 8 or 9 years old."

Yu Shuheng was surprised: "So early?"

She has lived in a honeypot since she was a child, with everything provided for her. She can buy whatever she wants and have whatever she likes. Her peers, adults, or elders all praise her when they see her.

In all these years, almost no one had ever disobeyed her, but Li Heng tonight was an exception. He actually started to fight with her over a disagreement, and he even made her lose her temper.

A thought involuntarily emerged in her mind at that time: Talented people are so principled and so willful!
This actually made her appreciate Li Heng even more.

His status as a great writer successfully brought him into Yu Shuheng's sight.

His extraordinary talent in music was just what she liked, and it unexpectedly made Yu Shuheng, who also loved music, value him even more.

Of course, even if he was an ordinary person, for Runwen's sake, she would not let him suffer any loss in Fudan.

But the respect he earned through his own ability is completely different from the respect given by others out of favor. They are not on the same level and cannot be compared.

Yu Shuheng, who came from a well-off family, couldn't imagine an eight or nine-year-old child learning to cook. She was surprised, and then relieved.

If Li Heng was like himself, having lacked nothing since childhood and having never experienced hardship, he might not have been able to write such profound works as "To Live" and "Cultural Journey", nor could he have created "The Original Landscape of Hometown" and "The Last of the Mohicans".

This is called gain and loss.

Difficulties are a great asset to him, she thought.

Li Heng put the tiger skin green peppers on a plate and replied, "It's still early? Actually, it's not early. Some children in our village start herding cattle and collecting firewood at the age of five or six. I am one of the lazy ones."

Yu Shuheng suddenly became interested: "Hearing you say that, I suddenly want to go to your hometown to take a look."

"Sure, then call Teacher Wang along, and I'll be your tour guide. Let me tell you, our mountainous area may not be as good as big cities like Shanghai in any way, but in terms of beautiful scenery and wild game, you will definitely be satisfied." Li Heng praised his hometown vividly.

"Okay, when we have time, I'll ask Runwen to go with us."

She was actually a little curious about what kind of town could give birth to someone as exquisite as Xiao Han, who was like an elf.

I am also curious about what kind of people Li Heng's parents are, to be able to raise such an outstanding son.

There were three dishes. She brought a plate of braised pork ribs, and Li Heng went upstairs with lettuce and tiger peppers.

The atmosphere was already like this, and the food and drinks were ready, but the two of them didn't ask each other if they were still okay?
Just one word: drink it and it's done!!!

The Moutai on the coffee table was in a 500 ml bottle. The two of them had already drunk three cups, and there was more than half a bottle left.

Yu Shuheng poured the wine and said, "I haven't drunk freely for many years, but tonight I'm making an exception."

He said, "Come on, cheers."

Yu Shuheng smiled and clinked their glasses together.

I was having a bad day today. I fell asleep while sitting for three or four times. Hmm…
