Chapter 3831 Upstairs
The sound of musical instruments was heard by both households.

If I hadn’t knocked on the door of the piano student’s home first…

The old man will probably be happy for nothing.

But after learning that the child was practicing the piano at home, he did not become blindly happy after hearing that the other two families also said they heard the sound of the instrument.

After careful comparison and verification, the old man was able to determine...

The sound of the instrument heard by these two households was not the pipa.

But the piano.

……

He was disappointed.

After thanking the other party, the old man stood in the quiet corridor.

Until his ears caught the subtle sound of the door opening, the old man took a step forward in a panic.

If the person who just visited saw him still here, he would definitely become suspicious.

He would feel embarrassed too.

only……

The old man opened his eyes wide.

In a panic, after climbing a few steps, when he was about to take another step, he didn't lift his foot high enough and his toes kicked hard on the step in front of him.

His body suddenly tilted.

.....
The old man was panicked.

But my ears inexplicably caught the sound of footsteps coming from below.

He knew that someone had walked out of the room.

He felt that he should shout for help.

Or make a sound.

Any sound is good.

As long as the people below can hear...
Maybe the people below can still save him in time.

After all, they were only a few steps apart.

……

but……

The old man's mind works very quickly.

His mouth also opened.

But no sound was made.

He could only wait for the expected pain to come.

.....
Hey?
half an hour...

The old man slowly straightened his back which had been subconsciously bent due to the fall.

He rolled his eyes slightly stiffly.

He was still in shock.

His mind works very slowly.

……

what happened?
The old man looked down at himself.

His feet were firmly on the steps.

It was as if time had gone backwards and he had not yet taken a step to the next step.

It all went back to before he fell.

But of course this is impossible.

The old man touched his shoulder.

Just now……

Just as he tripped...
The stairs were right in front of him.

He could even see the dust on the steps.

then……

His face should have come into close contact with the steps.

but no.

Something seemed to be pressing against his shoulder.

His fallen body instantly returned to its original position.

……

Everything happened so fast.

He didn't realize anything...

He has turned the corner.

He doesn't understand...

……

The old man turned his head and looked around.

I want to find my savior who is supposed to exist.

If it weren’t for the opponent, if he had fallen hard, the consequences would have been disastrous.

It was not until now that he began to feel a little scared.

My limbs gradually became cold.

He clutched his chest.

I could feel more and more clearly that his heart was beating fast and heavy.

……

The old man took a few slow breaths.

He was the only one in the empty corridor.

The previous footsteps were gone.

The old man reached out and grasped the stair railing.

Blue veins faintly appeared on the back of his hand.

The old man's face was still a little pale.

For an old man of his age, the shock just now was... a little too great.

……

The Pipa Ghost tilted his head.

It unconsciously brushed the strings of the pipa in its arms.

Qingyue's voice sounded.

It echoed in the empty corridor.

It became clearer.

……

The old man, who seemed somewhat dazed, suddenly shuddered.

The scattered eyes focused their light again.

There is a hint of hawk-like sharpness in it.

He looked up suddenly.

……

The Pipa Ghost happened to meet the old man's gaze.

The Pipa Ghost blinked in surprise.

Subconsciously...a pair of eyeballs fell out of their sockets.

Then I found that the old man's eyesight did not fluctuate at all...

The Pipa Ghost shook his head in amusement.

For my reaction just now.

It stuffed its fallen eyeball back into its eye socket.

Blinked slightly.

But in a flash, the Pipa Ghost turned into a normal pale young man again.

……

The old man looked confused 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 the Pipa.

seem……

His first reaction to what he just heard...

Is the sound of this pipa coming from above?

……

The old man wasn't sure.

He rubbed his ears until they turned red, but he still couldn't hear the sound of the pipa.

He clenched his fist in anger and pounded the handrail of the stairs.

……

The Pipa Ghost quietly watched the old man struggling in vain like a trapped beast.

do not know……

If the old man knew that at the critical moment just now, it used the pipa to press against the old man's shoulder, thus saving the old man's life...

How would the old man feel?
……

The Pipa Ghost casually looked away.

The old man will probably never know this fact until death finds him.

……

The sudden sound of the pipa occupied the old man's entire mind.

The old man forgot the accident that happened to him just now.

The only thing he cares about now is...

The source of the pipa sound.

……

The old man took a deep breath.

Since he felt that the sound of the pipa came from above...

He'll just go up and take a look.

This was also his original plan.

If he gains nothing on this level.

……

I watched it downstairs at my house.

Naturally, we can’t let go of the upstairs of our own house.

The incident just now lifted his spirits which had been depressed due to his frequent failures.

Maybe……

Upstairs, the old man can find the answers he wants.

……

The old man hesitated no more.

He strode up the stairs.

……

Soon, the old man arrived at the upper floor of his house.

The old man knocked on the door as if he was familiar with the place.

And it takes some time to prepare yourself mentally at the beginning.

……

The Pipa Ghost sat on the rooftop of the stairs.

He held his chin in his hand and watched the old man's every move.

Although it knows that all the old man's actions are in vain, it does not stop it 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 gradually intense.

Until finally, the old man was almost banging on the door.

……

No one came to open the door.

The old man put his ear to the door.

I didn't hear any movement either.

....
After a lot of trouble, the old man had to accept a fact...

The owner of this household is out.

……

He missed it.

……

The old man lowered his head and sighed with some regret.

The next second, the old man perked up.

There are two families left...

……

Still no one answered the door.

……

The old man held his breath and walked to the door of the last and most suspicious room more and more anxiously.

"dong dong dong~"

This time the old man knocked on the door with a hint of urgency that had not been there in the previous times.

He prayed secretly in his heart.

Someone, someone, someone...

……

Unfortunately……

The old man only felt a slight pain in his hands, but still no one came to open the door.
