Chapter 5

Before she could come up with a plan, her phone rang again; it was the little assistant calling.

"Sister Qin, look at Weibo quickly, Su Meng is trending!"

What? Sister Qin was stunned. She hurriedly opened Weibo and discovered that among the top ten trending topics, three were actually related to Su Meng.

#The most down-to-earth superstar in history!#

#You're a musician, so why are you taking funeral gigs to play the suona?#

#A single song, "The Grand Funeral," plays countless people to tears#

Seeing this, the experienced Sister Qin was instantly bewildered.

I didn't buy any trending spots, so how did he get up there?

Is taking funeral gigs this popular these days?

……

Seeing the Wang troupe opposite stop playing and instead huddle together whispering.

A suona player from the Li troupe also stopped, thought for a moment, and walked over with his suona.

"Old Wang, why did you stop playing? Did you admit defeat?"

"The host family paid us to do a job; is this how you fool people?"

The two troupes were rivals, but they often collaborated, so they were naturally no strangers to each other.

Seeing that he had outdone the Wang troupe today, his tone was somewhat smug.

Wang Wang Laowu glared at him and snorted coldly.

"What are you so smug about?"

"Let me tell you, I specifically hired a suona master today, so you'd better show some respect!"

A suona master?

The head of the Li troupe scanned the area and, seeing Su Meng giving instructions to the others, couldn't help but feel stunned.

"A suona master? You mean this young kid?"

"Old Wang, have you lost your mind? Don't you know that a beardless mouth can't handle serious business?"

"Look at how he's dressed. I'd believe you if you said he was a pretty boy, but a suona master? Are you joking?"

By this time, Su Meng had already finished giving instructions to the others.

For these troupe members, they might not be able to read sheet music.

But they were experienced, and the gongs, drums, clappers, and cymbals were all percussion instruments, primarily focused on keeping the rhythm.

Naturally, they quickly understood what they needed to do.

Su Meng raised his head, smiled, and said nonchalantly.

"Head of the Li troupe, right? You don't need to worry about the quality of my work."

"Brothers, let's get to work! Start with 'Crying for the Fifth Watch'!"

Having said that, he brought the suona to his lips...

……

At this moment, an old man slowly walked up to the main entrance.

When the middle-aged men from the host family saw him, they hurriedly went to greet him, fell to their knees with a thud, and kowtowed.

"Seventh Uncle, you've come too. Please, come inside."

The old man helped them up, his face filled with sorrow.

"This was your grandfather, and my old uncle too. I've come to see him off."

The middle-aged men were just about to speak when, suddenly, a sorrowful sound of a suona rang out.

The suona's sound was heart-wrenching, as if someone were wailing in deep grief.

Hearing this sound, it directly stirred the sorrow in their hearts, and they couldn't help but burst into loud sobs.

"Grandpa! My dear grandpa, why did you leave... so soon!"

"Seventh Uncle... please... come inside..."

Not just them; the old man, hearing the suona, couldn't help but let his old tears flow.

"Old Uncle, you only lived to be 102, why... why did you have to go?"

"You... you all shouldn't be too sad... waaaah..."

Perhaps moved by their crying, or perhaps triggered by the sorrow in their hearts from the suona's sound.

Suddenly, inside and outside the mourning hall, everyone couldn't help but burst into loud wails.

The crying resounded through the sky, shrouding half the village in sorrow.

Su Meng, while playing the suona, couldn't help but feel a sense of pride.

Is this skill gifted by the system too overpowered?

Just a God-level suona mastery can cause such a huge reaction?

This really lives up to the saying—

Once the suona sounds, everyone cries for me!

……

The new book sets sail, begging for all kinds of data!

The countless netizens in the live stream were already going crazy.

Many people were tearing up while sending bullet comments.

"Damn, this tune is toxic; I want to cry as soon as I hear it."

"Holy crap! Su Meng is so professional at funeral work? One tune made people cry?"

"Damn, I want to cry listening to this tune, but seeing a big star doing funeral work, why do I want to laugh so much?"

"Hearing this tune, I thought of my grandfather; my dad asked me what was wrong, I let him listen to it, and then we both hugged and cried."

"Toxic! Isn't Su Meng a professional CEO? Why is he doing funeral work? This is too toxic!"

Su Meng's manager, Sister Qin, was on the phone, her voice still choked with sobs.

"When did Su Meng learn the suona? How come I didn't know? And this is a tune he wrote himself?"

The little assistant's eyes were also red.

"Sister Qin, I don't know either."

"By the way, Sister Qin, should we have Su Meng release a suona album?"

Sister Qin thought for a moment and said, choking back tears.

"Let's wait and see; I'm going to take a few days off and go back to my hometown to visit the graves..."

Not just them, but the program's backstage was also filled with crying.

The deputy director's expression was extremely strange, wanting to cry and laugh at the same time.

"Director, the popularity of Su Meng's live stream is continuing to rise, this is too... waaa waaa waaa..."

The director was also about to lose it.

"Shift all current resources to him."

"If we're talking about being down-to-earth, he's the most down-to-earth of the six..."

In Baishi Village, it was already a scene of crying.

Whether it was the family holding the funeral or the friends and relatives who came to pay their respects, everyone was crying out loud.

Everyone was crying deeply, their tears flowing uncontrollably.

Only the people from the two suona troupes, having seen such scenes often, could barely hold back.

At this moment, they were all looking at Su Meng, their eyes almost popping out.

What kind of skill is this?

Suona comes out, and the whole audience cries?
