Chapter 88 The Music Prodigy

Su Yizi told me that the livor mortis on her body was spreading .

Then she asked me: Will I die when the livor mortis covers my entire body?

I told her to stay calm I would come and tell her .

I also told her: It is only a matter of possession by an evil ghost . It will be solved when I give you the Yin and Yang tattoo to suppress the ghost .

Su Yizi nodded quickly and said: I hope so .

After the call, I said to Feng Chunsheng: Let's go to Su Yizi . We have to solve this girl's problem .

We have to be careful; I feel she didn't tell us the truth . Feng Chunsheng frowned .

I had the same feeling .

Now I could confirm two things about her .

First, the curse of the Fox Empress never existed . Feng Chunsheng had confirmed this with the Fox King's family .

Therefore, Su Yizi's roommate didn't die because of that curse .

Second, Mr . Guan told me he had once met a person covered in livor mortis . At the time, his master had only one comment about that person - he was a big liar; the more he tried to hide, the more he was exposed .

That's to say, that man with livor mortis seemed to be hiding something .

Could it be the same secret as Su Yizi had? Well, it might, but I couldn't be sure, since Mr . Guan still hasn't gotten any reply from his master .

I told Feng Chunsheng: We have to keep her calm for now and wait for Mr . Guan's call Of course, we have to investigate, too .

Feng Chunsheng gasped and asked: What do you mean?

Do as we usually do . We have to give her the Yin and Yang tattoo only after receiving the call from Mr . Guan, I said to him .

Feng Chunsheng smiled and stuck up a thumb: Well, aren't you smart! Let's go and find Su Yizi .

Now we had Chen Sanli's address, but we could only make move after we've had dinner with Li Xiangbo tonight . Now we had enough time to visit Su Yizi .

On the way to Su Yizi's home, the scene of Chen Yuhao carrying the coffin into the ghost house to suppress the weasel played over and over in my mind .

Chen Yuhao left without hesitation, which showed his trust in me . I had to take this great responsibility I guaranteed on my life that nobody would die . Ever .

When our car stopped at Su Yizi's place, Feng Chunsheng asked me what I was thinking about .

I said I was thinking about the ghost house matter .

He said it was unnecessary It's always coming . It's always going . I would exhaust myself thinking about it too much .

I smiled .

This time we met with Su Yizi in the band rehearsal room at her university . Su Yizi took home so many awards that she could have her own private music room .

Su Yizi was beating the drum when we entered . I thought she was really good .

Feng Chunsheng whispered to me: Su Yizi is really such a strange person .

I asked him: Why do you say that?

He said: Actually, she doesn't play so well .

He told me secretly that she was playing the Ansai waist drum, and he had listened to this tune before .

Feng Chunsheng also told me: Her rhythm's off .

He continued, I had communicated with a professor before, and he told me that if you want to tell whether a person was talented in music or not, you could tell according to the rhythm . Those with good musical sense would keep the rhythm on point .

For example, Jay Chou, who has great musical sense, is very good at keeping a rhythm . He couldn't only play the notes on point but could also identify the tone of each note by ear .

But Yizi isn't on point, or I could say she doesn't have that much talent .

Anyway, Feng Chunsheng said again: Everything has two sides . She can make a nice sound; it is powerful Sounds very elegant .

I had to say Feng Chunsheng was really an expert .

After when she finished playing her drum, we went over to her .

Well it was true that her livor mortis had grown recently .

Yesterday, there wasn't any obvious livor mortis on her neck, but now it was full of livor mortis .

Mr . Yu and Mr . Feng, there you are . Su Yizi gestured for us to sit .

I sat beside her with Feng Chunsheng . Miss Su, you're really good .

Thank you . Actually I didn't do it so well, since I was distracted . Su Yizi smiled and asked: So, Mr . Yu, any ideas on how to remove this livor mortis?

She told me she couldn't perform if she couldn't remove this livor mortis .

The music industry was like the entertainment industry, and an artist had to have sustained exposure, or else, people would start forgetting about them .

I couldn't understand her when she got nervous like that .

I told her: I'm waiting for a message from someone regarding the livor mortis, and it should all be OK once I get it By the way, Miss Su, I saw your video and noticed that you can play many kinds of instruments Drums, dulcimer, erhu, Sanxian Any others?

No, I only like those four . She smiled professionally .

I asked her whether I would be lucky enough to listen to her playing the erhu?

Of course . She smiled and took up her erhu, and played a tune called Race Horse .

When she played that tune that I was familiar with, I could feel its beautiful tone and I could imagine I was on the prairie . The melody was only improved by the intermittent sighs of a woman .

However, as Feng Chunsheng said - the sense of rhythm was not right .

It was only a local folk tune, but it was still fairly popular .

I could hear that some of her notes were out of tune .

Of course, she could make beautiful sounds, even though some of them were out of tune, but how could she make such beginner mistakes?

I felt a little strange .

Well, I quickly became immersed in her rhythm and spontaneously extended my hand toward her erhu .

I just touched it .

Suddenly, the music stopped . Su Yizi stood up and pulled the erhu away from me . What are you doing? Why did you touch my erhu? she shouted .

I was stunned when she shouted at me like that . Why did she get so angry when I only touched the erhu?

Well, Feng Chunsheng stood up and mediated the dispute . He pulled me aside and said sorry to her: Sorry, Miss Su, he's a bit of a boor . I know that you artists often have a special fondness for your instruments . Sorry for that, sorry .

It's OK, but please don't touch my instrument in the future . Su Yizi glanced at me and said: Please come to me when you get the information you need . I don't feel so good today and want to continue playing . So, goodbye .

She just sent us away .

Feng Chunsheng took my hand and dragged me out .

When we left that room, Feng Chunsheng said carefully: What a weird woman .

How do you mean? I asked him .

Feng Chunsheng said: Can't you feel that there was not a single qualified rhythm, despite her being such a successful musician? Furthermore Why can't we touch her instrument? Why did she react so violently? It is all very unusual .

I asked him what we should do next .

He replied: Well, we have to talk to her classmates .

I thought it was a good idea .

Feng Chunsheng asked me: Do you know who her classmates are?

I laughed and teased him for not thinking more carefully . It would be very easy to get the answer, since Su Yizi was a campus star .

Feng Chunsheng was suddenly enlightened .

It took us fifteen minutes to find one of Su Yizi's classmates Wang Qingqing .

We asked her about Su Yizi .

Wang Qingqing seemed to be resentful about Su Yizi . She gave us a disdainful look and said: Why do you ask about an idiot like her?

An idiot? I didn't understand .

Then Wang Qingqing said again: Yes, that's Su Yizi .

I thought she had something good to tell us, so I immediately gave her a few notes .

She was happy to get the money, and started talking about Su Yizi right away .

The reason was, Su Yizi was an overnight prodigy in the music department .

When she just came she had poor musical sense . During a test in class, the professor shook his head after listening to her playing and said: Coming to this music school was really the wrong choice .

But after several years Su Yizi changed completely . She became a big star suddenly .

It was strange . Su Yizi couldn't make more progress due to her lack of talent, and she actually hadn't improved in recent years However, her music got much better .

Then Wang Qingqing said there was another strange thing about Su Yizi - she could only play the drum when she came to school, but after only a short three years, she could play the dulcimer, erhu and sanxian .

What did this mean?

It took over ten years to master the dulcimer and erhu, but, somehow, Su Yizi succeeded .

And the sanxian was also a difficult instrument to learn .

Why do you say it's strange? I asked Wang Qingqing .

She said with a smile: It is unusual because there's something demonic about her I think her instruments aren't normal It is not her playing those beautiful songs; it's the instruments themselves .

Then Wang Qingqing blinked and said: Let me tell you something even weirder . A few other students tried playing on Su Yizi's instruments but nobody could get any sound out of them, except Su Yizi . Her instruments wouldn't play at all . Don't you think that's weird?

Chapter 88 The Music ProdigySu Yizi told me that the livor mortis on her body was spreading .
