Death Flute
Secret Discharge Leontin

The atmosphere in Nada Valley has been unpleasant since Chien Wan's departure. No more someone who always blows the flute with the rhythm of a song that is stunning and very melodious. And since the sound of the flute did not exist, no doubt the harpist was reluctant to pluck his harp.

Ouwyang Ping was always moody. Nothing could comfort his heart. His yearning for Chien Wan was growing day by day. And if that was the case, he would take out a leontin with a picture of a bird from his pocket and look at it wholeheartedly.

He walked to the foothills south of the Nada Valley, where Chien Wan used to play music together. No one accompanied him because he himself did not want to be accompanied.

It had been almost ten days for Chien Wan to leave the Nada Valley. It was only ten days, but for Ouwyang Ping it felt like ten years. He misses Chien Wan.

“Kak Wan..., when will you be back?” sighs restless.

He took out a leaflet given by Chien Wan and looked at her. I don't know how many times he's done that. But this time he looked at the locket with a troubled heart. For some reason since Chien Wan left, his feelings were uneasy and agitated constantly. The feeling grew even more strange each time he saw the hong bird's leaflet. How strange!

“Ping-er,” call Ouwyang Kuan who is somehow already in that place. He silently watched his daughter's movements and understood. He was once young. And if asked what it means to miss, he is the most appropriate person to answer because he is the one who really understands what it is to miss.

Ouwyang Ping was shocked to hear his father's call. He turned his head and saw his father walking towards him with an affectionate smile.

“Dad.”

Ouwyang Kuan smiled half-temptingly. “Come, being daydreaming, huh? Daydreaming who? It must be Chien Wan!”

Ouwyang Ping immediately blushed.

His father smiled widely. His eyes were pounded on the thing Ouwyang Ping was holding. Smile recedes. “What's in your hand, Ping-er?”

Ouwyang Ping's left hand as usual was grasping the harp. And his right hand held the leontin. The girl knew which hand her father meant. He smiled as he stretched out the locket so that his father could see it.

As soon as he saw it, Ouwyang Kuan's face turned pale. “Whose locket is it?” tanyanya nervous. With a quick movement, he took the locket out of his daughter's hands.

“Kakak Wan gave it to me,” replied Ouwyang Ping without any suspicion.

“Chien Wan!”

“Say Sister Wan, her mother gave the necklace to her ten years ago. Since then this necklace has never been separated from the neck of Brother Wan. But a few months ago, he handed it to me to save,” tell Ouwyang Ping in a proud tone.

“Se... ten years ago?” Ouwyang Kuan started to sound relieved.

“Iya!” the Ouwyang Ping. “According to his mother, the necklace was given by Sister Wan's father!”

This notice was like a tickle in Ouwyang Kuan's ear. Oh my...!

Ouwyang Ping only realized how pale his father's face was. “Dad?”

Ouwyang Kuan looked at his daughter. “Ping-er, let's go to the Bamboo Guesthouse!” bring him.

“Now?”

“Yes! Come quickly pack!”

Before Ouwyang Ping asked again, his father had already rushed to leave him to head for his room. Ouwyang Ping could do nothing but obey his father's orders. Although confused, he was very happy because he finally got to meet Chien Wan!

Finished packing, they left the Nada Valley without saying goodbye to Mr. Ouwyang Cu who was meditating in a special room. They just left a message to the Four Silver Tambur to convey their departure.

***

Their journey took place quickly, and within four days they had arrived at the gate of the Bamboo Guesthouse. Ouwyang Kuan looked at the bamboo gate. Suddenly his heart was filled with doubt.

On the contrary, Ouwyang Ping was very excited about meeting Chien Wan. “Dad, let's go in!”

Ouwyang Kuan was about to shake his head, but his hand grasping the leontin suddenly stiffened. He also set his heart. However, he had to ask Chien Wan for an explanation about the locket.

They knocked on the gate of the Bamboo Guesthouse.

The gate opened and a handsome young man in red clothes appeared. That young man was Chi Meng Huan. He was shocked and also excited to see the arrival of Ouwyang Ping.

“Nona Ouwyang?” meng Huan was happy to see the girl again.

Ouwyang Ping smiled happily. “Kakak Chi!”

“Nona Ouwyang, how are you doing? And why did you come here? What to pick up Chien Wan?” ask Meng Huan in a row. The last question of course he meant to flirt.

Ouwyang Ping blushed. He quickly diverted the conversation. “Kakak Chi, this is my father.”

Meng Huan was startled, then quickly saluted. “Greetings, Mr. Ouwyang. I'm Chi Meng Huan.”

Ouwyang Kuan saluted back.

“Young Boy, is Mr Luo inside?”

Meng Huan nodded. “Teacher is in the middle room.”

“Can I meet him? It's so important!”

“Of course you can. Please come in, Mr. Ouwyang.”

They stepped towards the central room where Mister Luo, Sen Khang, and Chien Wan were sitting. At that time Mrs Luo, Sui She, and Ting Ting were going to the temple to pray and donate.

Mr. Luo was very surprised to see Ouwyang Kuan coming. What's he want?

Ouwyang Kuan saluted Master Luo. “Greetings, Mr Luo. Forgive my sudden arrival and make me have to interrupt your conversation,”. “But I have a need with Chien Wan. There's something we should talk about.”

Master Luo replied to that respect politely. He could not just tell his guests to leave even though he really did not want Ouwyang Kuan here. He only hoped that the conversation would be over before his sister arrived. He did not want Sui She to meet Ouwyang Kuan!

“Of course, Mr. Ouwyang. Please.”

Ouwyang Ping looked at Chien Wan with longing eyes. “Kak Wan!” the cry was gentle as he walked over to Chien Wan and held onto her arm. Sen Khang watched them with a bad feeling.

Chien Wan smiled looking at him. Then he approached Ouwyang Kuan and greeted him. “Uncle Ouwyang, what's up? Did something happen in Nada Valley?”

tanyakanya.

“What's up, Uncle?”

Ouwyang Kuan held out the leontin he had been grasping very tightly. Chien Wan stared at the locket dumbfoundedly. He frowned because he did not understand why the locket could exist on Ouwyang Kuan. Chien Wan looked at Ouwyang Ping with question marks. But the agdis also did not understand and shrugged his shoulders.

“Chien Wan, where did you get this leontin?”

Mr. Luo noticed them and was annoyed that the important affair turned out to be just a necklace matter. “Mr Ouwyang, if only for the mainline problem, you should not come far. Can be discussed after Chien Wan returns.”

Ouwyang Kuan sighed. He could feel Master Luo's dislike of his arrival. But he must get an explanation immediately.

“Sorry, Mr Luo. This leontin is very important meaning,” said Ouwyang Kuan pleading for understanding. And Mr. Luo did not comment anymore.

“The locket was given by my mother. Said it was given by my father.”

“Who is your mother's name?”

“Name is Madam Chien.”

“And your father?”

Chien Wan was flabbergasted. “I... I don't know, Uncle.”

“You don't know, Chien Wan?” sela Sen Khang's.

Ouwyang Ping was also shocked. It turned out that Chien Wan was hiding something from him. Chien Wan did tell about the locket, but not completely. He knows that the locket was given by Chien Wan's father, but he thinks Chien Wan knows who his father is.

“Chien Wan, this problem we have never heard of.” Master Luo was unwilling to be curious.

Chien Wan looked down. He will forget his past. So far it has never been a problem for him and everyone even though he has no father and no clan. Why is it a problem now?

“I also just found out ten years ago, Sir. At that time, my mother was dying. He asked me to go to the Bamboo House. It turns out she is not my real mother. He took me from someone who almost died in the Bamboo Forest. Before his death, the man handed the necklace and me to his late mother and sent her to the Bamboo House. But mother did not take me, instead raised me herself,” her story.

Mr. Luo flabbergasted. “She said, your father is in the Bamboo Guesthouse?”

“Not so, Sir. Mom didn't say anything else. Mom died immediately at that time.”

“So that's why you're determined to come to Wisma Bambu in a state of heavy rain!” exclaimed Sen Khang, remembering the incident ten years ago. “But, what does that have to do with the necklace?”

“Erat once!” Ouwyang Kuan said trembling.

All turned their heads towards Ouwyang Kuan who looked extremely pale and trembling. His face was full of sorrow and looked extremely devastated. His eyes are glazed.

“Uncle..,” reprimand Chien Wan.

Without having been prevented, Madam Luo and the others entered the room. They were astonished because of the large number of people in the room.

“Suami...” Madam Luo's words were interrupted as her husband shook his head grimly.

Luo Sui She stopped in the doorway stunned. He looked at a man he knew very well. His eyes looked at the man. Highlight his eyes looked confused, sad, but also kept a very longing. Ouwyang Kuan was astonished to look at the woman who after a long time had passed but still remained beautiful charming. They are glued, silent a thousand languages.

Suddenly, Sui She's legs became weak and she fell.

“Sui She!” exclaim Mr. Luo and storm.

But Mr. Luo did not have time to touch his sister because Ouwyang Kuan first darted and caught the slender body of Sui She. “Sui She..

Mr. Luo's anger arises. “Don't touch my sister!” he snapped while pushing Ouwyang Kuan and snatched Sui She from within his arms.

Ouwyang Kuan was knocked over.

“Dad!” pekik Ouwyang Ping's. With Chien Wan, he immediately helped his father stand up. The girl looked angry. “Uncle Luo! You are very respectful. Why did you turn into such a rude person? What's my dad's fault?!”

“What's wrong?!” sergeant Mr. Luo. “You better ask your father yourself!”

“Dad?”

“Enough, Ping-er!” Ouwyang Kuan stared intently at his daughter.

Sui She squirms and breaks away from her brother. His eyes were now fixed on Ouwyang Ping. His face became pias. “You.... you... Who are you? Why is it so similar to Sie Hui Lun?”

“Sie Hui Lun is my mother!”

Sui She's eyes closed. “Yes God! My God!”

Master Luo stepped closer to Ouwyang Kuan. “Mr Ouwyang, you'd better not be here. My sister just recovered from a prolonged illness. Your presence makes it sick again.”

Ouwyang Kuan was glued. “Sick?”

“True!”

“I'm cured,” sidelines Sui She with a soft tone. “I've been cured thanks to my son.”

“Your son...”.

“This is my son,” Sui She said gently and approached Chien Wan. He warmly held Chien Wan's arm. “For twenty years I lost my mind and memory. But now I am healed thanks to my son.”

Chien Wan knew he could not keep silent anymore. He could not allow Sui She to continue living in his delusion. He could not deceive himself for much longer. Although he loved the woman and wished he could be her son, he was not!

“Nona Sui She!” chien Wan Tukas. “Please be aware.”

Sui She was stunned, then laughed gently. “My son always bounces. Again you call me ‘Nona Sui She’. I'm your mother, son.”

“Sui She Master Luo looked on agitatedly. “You don't talk anymore..”.

“Let him talk!”
