After coercing Lisa into helping him successfully escape from the private orphanage, the little boy Wei disappeared deep into the white alley in the blink of an eye. He even didn't forget to snatch Lisa's coat to keep out the cold before leaving.
In this way, Wei walked through the streets and alleys alone to escape. When he was tired, he would find a place with few people or under a bridge to lie down and rest. When he was thirsty and hungry, he would sneak into other people's yards to get something.
Fortunately, although Wei had an oriental face, he wisely covered his face and hair features with a cloak, and a week passed without any major problems.
The food in Holy Rome was too unpalatable, cold, hard, and full of big fish and meat. This tortured Wei, who was accustomed to Eastern cuisine, and he often made him hungry after eating. As a result, all the efforts he put in to find food throughout the day were in vain.
Finally one day, Wei, who was hungry and anxious, secretly followed a middle-aged gentleman carrying a vegetable basket. He never directly grabbed other people's things and saw the fruits and vegetables he had seen for the first time in a long time in the vegetable basket, except for potatoes. This principle was finally broken.
However, just as Wei followed the middle-aged gentleman into the alley and was about to attack him from behind, the gentle-faced middle-aged gentleman suddenly turned around and looked at the startled Wei with some confusion: "Young man, are you following You have been with me for so long, what do you want? If not, just talk about it, there is no need to take action."
Taking a few steps back warily, Wei was a little confused and speechless when he heard the middle-aged gentleman's words. However, after thinking for a while, he stretched out his thin arm, pointed at the tomatoes in the vegetable basket, and said half-heartedly: "That one."
Looking down at the tomatoes, the middle-aged gentleman took out two in a dumbfounded voice: "You are so thin, and you only want one? Here, take these two and finish today's tasks first... Speaking of which, can you You understand what I'm saying, but you can't speak Anglo-Saxon fluently, and your pronunciation is normal, so you don't seem to be a local, right?"
He did not step forward to take the tomatoes from the middle-aged gentleman's hand. Wei, who was already cautious, stepped back several steps after hearing his words. He squatted down and tensed his muscles, looking like he might run away at any time.
Seeing that he seemed to have frightened the little boy in front of him, the middle-aged gentleman had no choice but to squat down and gently put the two tomatoes in his hands on the ground. After standing up, he did not forget to say: "Then I will put the things here." Remember to wash it before eating, otherwise it will be too unhygienic and you will easily get sick."
After saying that, the middle-aged gentleman turned around and was about to leave. But just after walking more than ten meters, he heard the sound of wolfing down food behind him and stopped immediately.
Turning his head and looking back, the middle-aged gentleman looked at the sloppy little boy who had eaten the tomatoes until the juices overflowed, with an extremely troubled look on his face.
Finally, the middle-aged gentleman turned around, took out a gold-embroidered handkerchief from his pocket and wanted to wipe the little boy's face.
As a result, after taking just a few steps, Wei quickly retreated like a frightened wild cat. He wanted to run away, but he reluctantly looked at the half-pulled tomatoes that fell to the ground in front of him. He hesitated whether to run directly or pick up the tomatoes and run again.
Seeing his appearance, the middle-aged gentleman also knew that he could not force himself to wipe the little boy's face today, so he retreated a few steps and said while Wei Chong came up to pick up the half-pulled tomatoes: "Tomorrow At this moment, I will still be here. If you still want to eat fruit, come here again. "
As soon as he finished speaking, Wei's figure disappeared from the exit of the alley, leaving only the middle-aged gentleman standing in the alley sighing helplessly.
…
…
Running back to the safe area where he usually stayed, Wei munched on the fruits and vegetables he hadn't eaten for a long time while recalling the strange man's actions.
I actually gave myself two red fruits. Although they were a bit sour, they were much better than potatoes. But... He seems to have said that if you still want it, you can go find him at this time tomorrow?
Just kidding, all the adults I met before looked disgusted and either drove them away or hid their faces to avoid me when they saw me. How could I still believe what that weirdo said?
Even if I, Wei, jump from this bridge hole and drown in the river below, I will never be fooled by that weirdo!
…
…
At noon the next day, in a familiar alley.
Wow, it smells so good!
While gnawing at the two tomatoes given to him by the weirdo, Wei still firmly believed in his thoughts: Aren't they just sugar-coated bullets? Then just eat the icing and throw the cannonball back!
While thinking this, Wei stared at the actions of the middle-aged gentleman opposite him, but was surprised to find that after giving him two tomatoes, the opposite party casually said "See you tomorrow" and left.
For a moment, Wei felt disappointed.
No, no, no, no, what are you thinking about? This person is also a despicable adult, and he definitely doesn’t have such good intentions for you. What you should really do is to stay away after this meal.
Just thinking of the smell of tomatoes, Wei swallowed subconsciously.
Otherwise...how many meals can I have?
In this way, young Wei was fed by a middle-aged gentleman whose name he didn't even know for a week. After gradually relaxing his vigilance, he finally allowed him to clean his face.
The middle-aged gentleman was overjoyed that his wish had finally come true. The next day, he brought a bucket and waited in the alley. However, Wei was so frightened that he turned around and ran away as soon as he appeared. The middle-aged gentleman used tomatoes to abduct Wei. It took a long time to fool him.
While Wei was chewing tomatoes on the ground, the middle-aged gentleman took the time to soak his face towel and wring it out. He used the still warm towel to clean Wei Yanwu's face.
After the middle-aged gentleman finished his work, the originally clear washing water in the small bucket turned into a bucket of dark, dirty water, which made the middle-aged gentleman frown.
Fortunately, his obsessive-compulsive disorder has been satisfied, and the middle-aged gentleman has finally accomplished his goal of feeding him for a week.
only……
Seeing Wei's delicate face revealed after being wiped clean, the middle-aged gentleman always felt that he couldn't just leave him alone, otherwise his conscience would be troubled.
However, the situation in my family would definitely not allow me to take a homeless little beggar home and raise him, so I would have to take time to feed him every day.
Seeing the middle-aged gentleman whose expression changed rapidly and finally stood up with a sigh, Wei subconsciously jumped out a few steps, wolfed down the tomatoes and planned to run away.
Although his feet were already raised, Wei still turned his head and looked at the middle-aged gentleman. After receiving a positive reply from him with a wry smile and saying he would come back tomorrow, he left the alley with confidence and boldness.
Just like that, another few weeks passed.
One afternoon, a middle-aged gentleman carrying large boxes and small bags came to the alley a little later than usual. He first apologized profusely to Wei who was waiting here, and then took out three tomatoes for him.
The extra tomato than usual finally dispelled the negative emotions Wei had accumulated while waiting. While munching on the tomatoes, Wei saw the middle-aged gentleman take out a strange thing from the box, with nostalgia on his face. And a look of helplessness.
He thought that after so many days, the middle-aged gentleman was finally going to do something to him. Wei subconsciously picked up the extra tomato and took a few steps back. However, recalling that the middle-aged gentleman was not only very gentle to him these days, he even fed him I would compensate myself for being late for a while, so I hesitated and stopped turning around to run away, and decided to see what the middle-aged gentleman wanted to do first.
As if aware of Wei's vigilance, the middle-aged gentleman showed him the violin in his hand with a dumbfounded look. Then he tilted his head and clamped it. After adjusting his posture, he pulled the strings and played melodious and beautiful music.
Seeing the middle-aged gentleman show magic in front of his eyes for the first time, Wei squatted on the ground and listened to his performance alone. Until the end of the song, Wei Xian was immersed in the music for a while, and then he came back to his senses. Looking at the smiling face of the middle-aged gentleman, he felt slightly embarrassed, but he still stretched out his hand curiously, wanting to touch it. Touch and see how the violin makes sound.
Subconsciously grabbing Wei's paw that was reaching for his violin, the middle-aged gentleman hesitated for a moment and then took out his handkerchief. In Wei's grinning protest, he wiped his dirty little hands clean before allowing him to touch his violin.
After getting the permission of the middle-aged gentleman, Wei directly grabbed the violin, which was a bit bulky for him. He put the slender part in his hand, clamped the wide part with his chin, and then began to pull the strings. .
The sharp sizzling noise startled Wei himself. Fortunately, he subconsciously let go and realized that this was something to feed his own people. He grabbed the body of the piano hard enough to prevent it from falling out of his hands.
Angrily and funny, he took back his violin from Wei's hands. The middle-aged gentleman patted his head and said, "You, this thing is too difficult for people who have never been exposed to musical instruments. You'd better try it first." Just basic stuff.”
As he spoke, the middle-aged gentleman took out a harmonica from his trouser pocket, played it to produce different melodies, then took out a handkerchief and wiped it clean before handing it to Wei, who was looking forward to it.
Hu Hu imitated the movements of a middle-aged gentleman and blew on the harmonica. At first, Wei just made some unrhythmic sounds, but after roughly mastering the scales corresponding to the respective positions of the harmonica, Wei began to play the melody fluently, trying After playing the beginning a few times, he immediately played the entire piece of music that the middle-aged gentleman had just played.
Staring dumbfounded at the little beggar in front of him, the middle-aged gentleman couldn't hide his excitement. He trembled with his hands to signal Wei Xian, who was about to leave with his harmonica, to wait a moment: "Wait, wait, wait! Little guy, you want to learn more Music? That’s the kind of music.”
For fear that Wei would not understand what he said and turn around and walk away, the middle-aged gentleman played a new piece of music, which made Wei's eyes suddenly light up.
Anyway, besides sleeping under the bridge, Wei usually competes with the free-range geese in other people's homes for water. Wei just thought about it and was ready to agree, but he hesitated when he opened his mouth.
I don't know why Wei suddenly stopped. The middle-aged gentleman looked anxious but did not dare to rush him. He could only stand in the alley with his violin like a fool and worry.
After thinking carefully, Wei took out the extra tomatoes from his broken pocket and planned to take them home to eat, and showed them to the middle-aged gentleman: "Xue, yes, I want more food!"
call! That's it?
Finally heaving a sigh of relief, the middle-aged gentleman nodded and said no problem: "Okay, one tomato for each piece of music. If you learn well, I will give you other delicious things!"
"It's a deal?"
"It's a deal!"
After making the agreement to meet again tomorrow, Wei happily left the alley.
The next day, the two of them arrived as promised and after learning a piece of music, the middle-aged gentleman gave Wei another tomato and a piece of chocolate as agreed upon in the deal, and watched Wei eat the chocolate with a smile on his face. .
Then, the innocent and young Wei was knocked down by the anesthetic that had been mixed in the chocolate, and was abducted by a middle-aged gentleman.
Later, the abductor, who was against the boy's will, regardless of his wife's dissatisfaction, forcibly adopted him as an adopted son and began to teach him etiquette. During this period, he also caught the kid who was trying to escape countless times.
After the two of them battled wits and courage for a whole year, Wei still succumbed to the temptation brought by food and his unexplained yearning for music. He gradually became accustomed to the teachings of the middle-aged gentleman, and even began to take the initiative to learn the rhythm and rhythm of music. How to use various musical instruments.
There is nothing to tell the story after that. With his musical talent, Wei quickly gained the appreciation of the middle-aged gentleman and his wife. With the support of his family, he quickly completed a series of necessary studies and passed a series of necessary courses. At the age of sixteen, he started touring around Holy Rome with the middle-aged gentleman's music group. It didn't take long for the already-famous middle-aged gentleman and Wei to become famous. Their experiences The dark parts of it were ignored and regarded as a good story that spread throughout Holy Rome.
After touring with the middle-aged gentleman for several years, the talent of the young man who always insisted that his name was Wei became more and more brilliant. Even the middle-aged gentleman who discovered this piece of gold and showed it to the world gradually felt ashamed.
In the end, the middle-aged gentleman decided to let Wei go out independently and develop his talent as a musician.
Although he was very reluctant to leave his teacher, Wei still followed his wish and chose the path of becoming a violinist. From then on, he was out of control. As his fame became more and more popular, he even became a top performer in his early twenties. He took the stage of the Vienna Concertgebouw and became the second youngest musician in the history of Holy Rome to perform on this stage.
The days passed happily and happily, until——
Breathing out the last smoke ring lightly, Wei Yanwu stopped after saying this. After looking at the time on his wrist watch, he clapped his hands and dismissed Wu Xiu and Husky who had secretly come over to listen to his story at some point: "Okay, okay. It's already this hour, you have to get up tomorrow, right? Go to bed soon, you two look at Xiao Chen, how calm he is, right Xiao Chen?"
Smiling at Wei Yanwu, Chen Fan asked a question intentionally or unintentionally: "I will go to bed after asking for the last time. Uncle Wei, what is the name of your mentor?"
After putting out the cigarette butt, Wei Yanwu sighed deeply: "Muza Gottlieb (Note 1) should be called his wife's name when he died, Muza Salieri (Note 2)."
(Note 1: Gottlieb means a man favored by God. Muza is the original Chinese translation of Mozart.
Salieri: Antonio Salieri (Italian: Antonio Salieri), an Italian composer, was a contemporary of Mozart. He made extraordinary achievements and taught famous musicians such as Beethoven and Schubert, but for some reason he was named the stigma of killing Mozart. )
