Chapter 47: Musical Instruments

I don't know why Uncle Wei came to see the instrument, I didn't ask, Uncle Wei's habit should be told to me, he will say, I shouldn't know, it's useless to ask.

To be honest, I have only heard about this musical instrument market, but I have never been here, when I arrived with Uncle Wei, it was almost after nine o'clock, the time was still early, and there were not many people on the street, Uncle Wei walked slowly with his hands behind his back, and I also followed him leisurely.

The rat infestation in Bihu Park kept me busy for several days, and when I relaxed at once, I felt two worlds.

Looking at the relaxed energy on the faces of the people who came over, I felt that I was not in a foreign country, a city with two atmospheres, Bihu Park was chaotic, but here I didn't feel it at all.

"Xiao An, do you know how to play a musical instrument?" Uncle Wei suddenly asked.

"I can play the harmonica, but I can't play it well, and I used to tinker for a while when I was a kid. I replied.

"Then what do you think that person played last night?" Uncle Wei turned his head to look at me.

It dawned on me that Uncle Wei had come to find the mysterious man to play the instrument.

Last night's mystery man did blow the instrument, and the reaction of the rat swarm was clear, and he should have used the sound of the instrument to control them.

"I don't know, the voice is too short, and I can't see clearly. I shook my head.

"Actually, musical instruments can be used to control certain animals, such as snakes, but I haven't seen this method in years. Uncle Wei sighed softly.

"Master, do you have any suspicions?" I asked.

"Back in Miaojiang, I once saw someone use a flute to control a large group of snakes. Uncle Wei replied.

"Miao Jiang......?"

"I just suspect that if that's the case, we're going to be *annoyed. As if knowing what I was going to ask, Uncle Wei interrupted me.

Uncle Wei didn't say any more, and I didn't ask again, and I heard a trace of worry in Uncle Wei's words.

The originally relaxed mood gradually became heavy, Uncle Wei really didn't come to hang out, he was looking for answers.

It was close to noon, and all the musical instrument shops on the street were open, and we went into several musical instrument stores, but nothing came of it, and it was really difficult to find a musical instrument with just a few notes.

Seeing that we had reached the end of the street, suddenly a shout came from behind us.

"Anton, Brother Dong. ”

When I heard the sound, I turned around and saw a man walking out of a shop not far away.

"Yaoyao?" I was stunned.

The person who called me was Yaoyao, Shen Yaojia.

"Brother Dong, why are you here?" Yaoyao ran over with a look of surprise.

"Why are you there?" I asked.

"Nonsense, I'm here to buy a guitar, I'm here often. Yaoyao gave me a blank look.

I suddenly realized that Yaoyao is a singer, and it is normal for a musician to come to the musical instrument market, but it is indeed rare for me to engage in medicine.

"Who is this?" Yaoyao's gaze turned to Uncle Wei.

"My master, master, this is my friend Yaoyao. "I took the opportunity to introduce each other.

"Hello uncle. Yaoyao greeted Uncle Wei with a smile.

Uncle Wei looked at me with a smile and then at Yaoyao.

"Not bad, not bad. ”

I have a black line in my head, and I don't know what Uncle Wei means when he says yes.

"What are you doing here?" said hello, Yaoyao asked again.

"Find a musical instrument. I replied in passing.

"If you want to buy a musical instrument, come to me, I'm familiar with it here, and you can get a discount. Yaoyao said enthusiastically.

I smiled wryly: "The main thing is that we don't know what we're looking for either,"

"Girl, are you familiar with Miao musical instruments?" Uncle Wei suddenly asked.

"There are very few musical instruments of the Miao ethnic minorities here, and I know of one place where they are. Yaoyao said quickly.

"Really. "I was pleasantly surprised.

"Of course, really, or I'll take you there. Yaoyao said proudly.

Yaoyao took us to a very large musical instrument store, not on this musical instrument street, but on another relatively remote side street, with a few big words written on the signboard at the door of the store, "Ethnic minority musical instruments wholesale!"

"This is the largest minority musical instrument store in Jiangcheng, and you can't find it anywhere else that you don't have here. Yaoyao pointed to the signboard and said.

I couldn't help but shake my head and smile bitterly, this is really a specialization in the art industry.

We walked into the store, there were not many customers, and as soon as we entered, a thin middle-aged man walked over.

"What do you want to see?"

"I'm looking for a Hmong instrument. "Uncle Wei gets straight to the point.

"Here, the Miao musical instruments are all here. "The owner led us to a corner.

There are more than a dozen musical instruments on the shelves, two of which I am familiar with, but I can't name them, and I don't know the others at all.

"This is reed sheng, suona, leather drum......" Yaoyao pointed to a few musical instruments to introduce us.

"What are you looking for?" asked Yaoyao.

I swept around and shook my head, the instruments here are all too big, and from what I observed last night, none of them were used by the mystery man.

Sure enough, Uncle Wei also shook his head again and again: "Boss, is everything here?"

"Yes, it's all here. The boss nodded affirmatively.

"It's hard to find without knowing the name...... Or you can describe it. Yaoyao came up with an idea on the side.

Uncle Wei and I can't describe it, and we can only give up if we look around again.

"Forget it, don't look for it. In the end, Uncle Wei waved his hand.

The three of us walked out of the store.

"Brother Dong, you came by car, just drop me off by the way. Yaoyao grinned.

Although Yaoyao's house is not in Bihu Garden, it is next to each other, and when I saw Yaoyao's appearance without any consciousness at all, I couldn't help but remind: "Are you sure you want to go back now, Bihu Garden is now taking medicine, so you are not afraid that rats will run out and bite you." ”

I was originally joking, but Yaoyao was suddenly stunned.

"What rats, why spray?"

Yaoyao's words made me stunned, and after asking, I learned that Yaoyao was not in Jiangcheng these days, and she had just come back from performing in other places.

"You're in luck. "I'll just briefly talk about the rat infestation in Bihu Park in the past few days.

"So arrogant! Now even rats dare to bite people!" Yaoyao screamed exaggeratedly.

"Be quiet. I glared.

"Then I won't go back for the time being, but what if I have nowhere to go?" Yaoyao said as if she looked at me coquettishly.

"Forget it, let's have dinner with us first. "Of course I know what Yaoyao means, after all, she just helped us, and we can still invite a meal.

Yaoyao's face immediately shone with spring.

"Thank you, Brother Dong!"

As we talked, we walked away, and just as we were about to go out of the gate, I heard two whines!

Uncle Wei and I stopped almost at the same time!

"Woo!"

I jerked around.

Out of the musical instrument shop came a child, about five or six years old, dressed in Miao costume, holding a strangely shaped musical instrument in his hand, the child's mouth was blowing on the instrument, and the whining sound was made by the child.

"Boss, what is this?" Uncle Wei turned back first, pointed to the musical instrument in the child's hand and asked.

"It's called Piccolo. The boss replied.

"It's not. Yaoyao interjected.

"Yes, this is unique to our Miao people, also called the bone flute. The owner explained.
