Chapter 3823 Disharmonious Sound
The Pipa ghost moved closer to the human.

This is an old man.

To be more precise, he is an old man.

……

His hair and beard are gray.

Wrinkled face.

Even my hands are covered with age spots.

The slightly furrowed brows made the old man look like he was in a bad mood.

……

The Pipa ghost's tongue almost fell on the old man's face.

The old man was unaware.

The Pipa ghost naturally retracted its shaky eyeballs and its overly long tongue.

It sits cross-legged among the flowers.

Soon, a series of melodious pipa plucking sounds were heard.

……

sunny.

Surrounded by flowers.

The sky is blue and so close.

The melody flowing from the Pipa Ghost's fingers has a bit of lightness and jump.

It echoes the chirping of birds in the trees not far away.

The Pipa Ghost grinned -
"Noisy!"

……

An irritable voice suddenly sounded.

It was like a discordant note that abruptly interrupted the Pipa Ghost's smooth performance.

The Pipa Ghost was stunned.

……

It looked towards the source of the sound...

It was the old man lying on the recliner.

……

The old man's facial features were tightly wrinkled.

The wrinkles on his face were like ravines, leaving deep cuts.

……

The old man did not wake up.

His eyelids twitched a few times.

Then it gradually calmed down.

……

The Pipa Ghost came back to his senses.

and so……

Was that just a coincidence?

That phrase "so noisy"...

It's not about playing it.

.......
Also.

There is a good chance that this human cannot even hear it being played.

How would one react to its performance?

and……

The Pipa Ghost grinned.

Even if this human really heard its performance...
How could its performance be disliked for being noisy?
The Pipa Ghost is absolutely confident in his performance.

……

The Pipa ghost plucked the strings again.

In such a beautiful environment, it wants to play a song.

Not for others.

And for this beautiful scenery.

For itself.

……

The Pipa Ghost was so absorbed in his performance that he didn't notice...

The old man's eyelids on the recliner moved again.

His face was wrinkled.

He showed an expression of patience.

……

"Noisy!"

The old man finally cried out again.

Then he opened his eyes.

He didn't sit up, his eyes rolled away.

……

After a few seconds, the old man slowly stood up with a dazed and confused look on his face.

He reached up and rubbed his head.

Yes……

Illusion?
……

"what happened?"

The old lady who heard the noise came hurried over.

"Why is it so loud?"

……

The old man waved his hand.

"fine."

"Maybe it's a dream."

……

"dream?"

The old lady was a little confused.

"Did you have a nightmare?"

Screaming so loudly...

She actually didn't hear clearly what the old man called out.

Then I heard a loud noise.

She thought something happened...

……

"Nightmare..."

The old man's eyes were slightly startled.

half an hour...

"……yes……"

The old man nodded slowly.

"It was a nightmare..."

……

"It was just a dream."

The old lady comforted the old man.

Then he asked curiously, "What nightmare did you have?"

Neither she nor the old man are big dreamers.

The number of dreams she had in her life could be counted on five fingers.

Most of them were nightmares.

……

"……nothing."

The old man opened his mouth, but finally waved his hand.

He looked like he didn't want to say more.

"It's just a nightmare."

……

"Yeah, it's a nightmare."

The old lady was a little dissatisfied, "What's wrong with that?"

"Besides..."

"You can make your nightmares less scary if you tell them out loud."

…“……”

The old man moved his lips.

"It's nothing really."

……

"Just say it if you have nothing to say."

The old lady and the old man had a fight.

She hadn't wanted to know so much at first, but the old man's repeated refusal only aroused her curiosity.

……

"Nothing to say?"

The old man frowned.

This old woman is not done yet.

……

"If you have nothing to say, just tell me."

The old lady still said the same thing.

There is no room for compromise.

……

Old man:......

"I'm too lazy to argue with you."

……

Seeing the old woman standing at the balcony door in a huff, the old man and the old lady were in a stalemate for a while.

In the end, he was the first to be defeated.

"You."

"Why do you keep insisting on something that is not necessary..."

"I will not say……"

"Of course it's hard to say."

The old man pursed his lips.

"…It's a bit embarrassing, don't you understand?"

……

The old lady blinked.

"Disgraceful?"

It's just a nightmare, what's there to be ashamed of?
what.

Was it because of a nightmare?

But she already knew this.

……

"Yes."

The old man has given up everything.

"I was startled by a voice."

……

"sound?"

The old lady opened her eyes wide in surprise.

"Were you frightened by a voice?"

What's that terrifying sound?

……

"Ah."

The old man turned his eyes away.

"drink."

"You're going to laugh, aren't you?"

"I've already told you it's a shameful dream..."

……

The old woman immediately pursed her lips.

She shook her head.

"No."

"I'm not laughing."

"What's the sound?"

The old lady immediately changed the subject.

....
"……do not know."

The old man lowered his eyes.

He reached up and plucked off a petal that had fallen on him.

He lied.

He can't recognize many voices.

But that voice... was engraved in his body and his blood. He recognized that voice after hearing just one syllable.

That's clearly...

The sound of the pipa.

But here he is...

How can there be the sound of a pipa?
He thought he was dreaming.

To others, this is just an ordinary dream without any highlights.

But for him...

This is really a nightmare.

……

"do not know?!"

The old lady raised her voice slightly.

"Didn't you hear that?"

Since you heard it, how could you not know?

……

"Ah."

The old man nodded.

"But you also know that dreams are always blurry."

"I couldn't hear the voice clearly in my dream."

After waking up, people become even more confused.

……

"oh oh."

The old lady nodded.

"All right."

"I have something else to do, so I'll go inside first."

……

The old lady turned and left.

Very neat and tidy.

……

The Pipa Ghost withdrew his gaze from watching the old lady leave.

It looked at the old man.

This human being...

I actually heard it being played...

The Pipa ghost moved his fingers slightly.

A series of notes floated out from under his fingers.

……

The old man almost jumped up when the first note came out.

He suddenly turned his head and looked around.

Where did the sound come from?
……

His eyes moved around the balcony again and again.

Nothing was found.

……

Is it coming from outside?

The old man lay prone on the balcony.

Keep your ears open.

Wanting to catch that sound again.
