Chapter 187 The Old Man Who Pulls the Erhu

Ah Jin has recently entered a bottleneck period due to his creation, and his state is extremely poor, and his teammates suggest that he go out for a walk, maybe he will have some inspiration, don't be impatient, don't be too burdensome, and maintain his enthusiasm for music.

Therefore, when there is no performance, Ah Jin walks around the rest of Chuhua City with his guitar on his back.

During this time, Ah Jin played in the underground passages and some squares, slept in the park at night, as if returning to the time when he was a wandering singer, and his impatient mood gradually calmed down unconsciously.

Today, Ah Jin was originally going to go to the central square to sing, but in fact, there are some talented young people performing in many large squares in Chuhua City at night. It's just that Ah Jin didn't expect to meet Zheng Si here.

For Zheng Si, Ah Jin is grateful, but also with some awe that he can't explain, sometimes Ah Jin himself feels incredible, just a cat, but it can have such a big impact on him and the band, if there was no black cat, where would he and his teammates go? I can't imagine that I almost gave up at that time. So, for this cat, Ah Jin and his teammates have always been grateful, as can be seen from their black cat team emblem.

And speaking of awe, perhaps, this is the only big name among the cats that Ah Jin has encountered, after all, this is a cat that even Ye Hao, the big boss of the night building, dares to shake his face directly.

Ah Jin didn't know where Zheng Si lived, in fact, he didn't even know the bottom of Zheng Si, he only knew that this cat was very familiar with several "big shots". Every time I go to the night building, I am with a few "big shots". Therefore, when he saw Zheng Si at first glance, Ah Jin was not sure, but after two more glances, he matched the black cat in front of him with the big-name cat. Perhaps, no second cat dares to openly bully the blind old man in such a place and in such an atmosphere.

"Black charcoal!" Ah Jin opened his mouth and shouted, seeing Zheng Si, Ah Jin was very happy. This is the lucky star of their band.

Zheng Si just plucked one of the old man's long beards. I saw the old man twitch in the face. There was no other reaction, so he was about to pull out two more to see how long the old man could endure, but he suddenly heard someone calling his name.

Stupid! What's your name for?!

Zheng sighed and scolded in his heart.

When doing bad things. The most taboo thing is to expose your true information. Originally, this place was the first time Zheng sighed to come. Others don't know Zheng Si either, walking and playing and then flicking his tail away, who can find whom. But now Ah Jin directly called out his name.

Zheng sighed and hesitated. Do you want to pretend that you are mistaken?

Just thinking about it, Zheng Si looked up at the old man sitting there, but found that the old man had opened his eyes, his eyeballs were cloudy gray-white, and looking at the place where Zheng Si was, Zheng Si was so frightened that he reflexively jumped back. It's not that Zheng Si is timid, it's because it's too sudden, the old man didn't open his eyes for so long just now, but now he suddenly opened them.

However, he is really blind......

The old man not only opened his eyes, he moved.

As soon as the old man moved, Ah Jin hurriedly walked over, for fear that the old man would hit Zheng Si with a guide cane. And the other people who set up the stalls around also thought about how the old man would deal with the cat, although the old man didn't talk much, didn't communicate with people, and didn't have an argument with anyone, but that was because everyone didn't mess with him, and the current situation was that the cat was too dead.

Even Zheng Si thought that this old man would teach him a lesson, and he still had a beard on his paws. So get ready to slip away.

Unexpectedly, the old man moved, adjusted his sitting posture, and began to pull up with the erhu.

Zheng Si has seen the old woman in Jiao's father's hometown pulling the erhu, and now listening to this old man, I feel that it should not be inferior to the old woman, not to mention that this old man is still blind, it is too rare. At the same time, Zheng Si also had to admit that this old man had a really good temper, and he was all pulled by himself, and he was still in the mood to pull the erhu.

Although Ah Jin doesn't know much about erhu, he is very sensitive to music, and Ah Jin feels that this old man does not look angry, but should sound in a good mood. There are a lot of people who play the erhu, and most of the music styles have a bit of a poignant and cold feeling, but now the erhu tune played by this old man makes people feel very warm on the sunset dam. Unconsciously, the tension just now relaxed a lot.

Ah Jin judges the mood of the old man through the erhu tune, and Zheng Si feels whether the old man has malicious intent through intuition, since the old man is not ready to investigate, Zheng Si is not good to continue to bully the blind people, not to mention that Ah Jin is here, and it is estimated that more information will be inadvertently exploded by Ah Jin, a fool.

Since he didn't plan to continue bullying the old man, Zheng Si simply squatted next to him and listened to the old man pull the erhu, and Ah Jin was not ready to leave immediately, standing next to Zheng Si leaning on the railing and listening to the old man pull the erhu.

Ah Jin can see that this old man is a master of erhu, no worse than those teachers at the conservatory, and listening to it can also be good for his own creation. Another point is that Ah Jin has heard a lot of erhu music, but he has never heard the music played by this old man, but he is too embarrassed to interrupt the inquiry, so he has been standing quietly by the side and enjoying it.

The people who set up small stalls around have long been accustomed to the old man pulling erhu, and when they saw that it was not lively, they began to be busy with their own stalls again, and cats were not attractive to them.

Speaking of money, Zheng Si now understands why there is so much money in the old man's wooden box, the erhu is good, passers-by are willing to listen to it, like to listen, plus pity and sympathy for the old man, they will give some money. Although most of them are small change, they are more than enough, and they can earn a lot of money in a day, and for an old man, the living expenses are more than enough, and there is still money to enjoy other fun.

In fact, there are more people who give money today than usual, and part of this is because of Zheng Si's cat, which is why some people like to bring children or animals.

Until he saw that it was almost dark, Zheng Si got up and prepared to go back to pick up the little grapefruit.

"Huh? Black charcoal, ready to go? Ah Jin was immersed in the melody of the erhu, and when the erhu sound stopped, he came back to his senses and found that the black cat that was originally squatting next to him had walked to the side and was about to get off the overpass.

Put on your guitar and follow. Ah Jin is ready to follow Zheng Si all the way, anyway, he has no absolute destination now, and he is very curious about Zheng Si's address, where does this cat live? What kind of place do you live? Why did you come here alone?

Zheng Si knew that Ah Jin was following behind him, so he didn't pay attention to it.

When passing by a stall selling food, Ah Jin stopped Zheng and sighed, "Black charcoal, please eat chicken fillet." Ah Jin remembers that the cat seemed to have a wide range of recipes.

It's a token of gratitude. It's rare to see Zheng Si alone. In the past, when Ah Jin saw Zheng Si, Zheng Si stayed with Wei Ling and Ye Hao, and Ah Jin didn't have the courage to interject.

Speaking of meat, Zheng Si is indeed a little hungry now. I'm not in a hurry anyway. There is still half an hour before Xiaoyuzi gets out of school. It's too late to eat and go back.

Seeing Zheng Si stop, Ah Jin knew that the cat should have agreed, so he happily walked to the stall.

"Two ......"

The words have not yet spoken. Ah Jin froze. I dug out my pockets, patted my trouser pockets, and looked at Zheng Si with a depressed face for a long time.

"Black Tan, have you seen my wallet and phone?"

Zheng sighed: "......" idiot! I didn't even know that my phone and wallet were stolen!

On the other side, on the overpass, after Zheng Si and Ah Jin left, the old man didn't pull the erhu anymore, just sat there quietly, closed his eyes, and returned to his previous state, until the sun set, the old man folded the low stool and put it into the wooden box containing the money, the wooden box was not big, but it was just able to accommodate the folded low stool. The old man untied the big black umbrella tied to the railing, and unhurriedly packed everything, each movement was not fast, but it was very smooth. There was no surprise to the people around him, if anyone could do the same thing every day, day after day.

For a blind man, there is actually no difference between day and night, but the old man is very regular every day, appearing with the morning sun and disappearing with the evening sunset, and his position on the overpass is always the same, no vendor who comes to the overpass to set up a stall will occupy his seat, and even a space will be vacated around him, when the vendors are at most, even if the other places are crowded, the place where the old man is located will be vacant.

If there are new vendors, they will be told by other vendors not to take their seats. Moreover, after the old man left, even if the business was good, the vendors on the flyover would pack up their things and leave as soon as possible, and they would have to change places if they wanted to continue their business. If they don't see the old man on the flyover one day, they won't set up a stall here, but will choose other places to sell it first until the old man appears on the flyover again.

This is a rule that these small traders on the overpass have figured out for a long time, and when this blind old man is there, no one comes to the overpass to drive away the fine, which is one of the reasons why everyone's attitude towards this blind old man is very special.

As for the other reason...... These small traders have only heard about them, and they have not seen them with their own eyes, so it is difficult to make a conclusion. In any case, they never offended the blind old man, and sometimes the seller of fruit or other food would give some to the blind old man, and when they gave it, they did not give it as a charity, but behaved cautiously.

The old man held a guide cane, walked on the sidewalk without hurrying, and his cloudy black and white eyes did not open, if they did, they would probably scare some people.

Soon it darkened, neon lights flashed, and people who were ready to start the nightlife walked past the old man with laughter and looked at the old man's gaze with sympathy and contempt, not for the old man himself, but for a blind man like the old man.

Suddenly, a person rushed from behind, snatched the wooden box in the old man's hand, and then ran away. This man walked across the overpass in the evening and saw the money in the old man's wooden box, there were too many people to start, and he didn't care, he had more "fat" prey. Now that I see it, if you don't rob it, you don't rob it, how can you say that there are hundreds of dollars in it.

When the old man saw this, most of them didn't want to meddle with it, but there were hot-blooded young people who wanted to take care of it, but in the blink of an eye, the person who grabbed the box disappeared into the crowd. They could only sympathize with the blind old man.

Unlike the people around him, the old man was very calm on his face, and did not show anger and sadness because the box was robbed, but only paused for a moment when the box was robbed, and then continued to walk forward, as if he did not hear the voices of the people around him.

After walking for a while, I turned into a narrow and long alley with no lights, and the hustle and bustle of the city seemed to suddenly recede at night, and the bustling street beyond the alley seemed to be two worlds.

The old man still walked forward without hurry, and not far in front of him, there was a man sitting next to him, and when he saw the old man, the man immediately got up and rushed over, and knelt in front of the old man with a poof.

This person was the person who robbed the old man's wooden box before, and at this moment, he looked very embarrassed, his nose and face were swollen from being beaten, and there were probably other injuries on his body. After kneeling in front of the old man, he lifted the old man's wooden box with both hands, trembling like a sieve, and trembling violently when he spoke.

"Tiny Tiny ...... Small...... New Arrival...... Yes...... I can't see ......"

The old man did not stop because of the person in front of him, his face was still flat, and he did not say a word, but he reached out and carried the box, and continued to walk, leaving the person who knelt on the ground and had not finished his words to continue to tremble alone.

At this time, Zheng Si, who had already finished dinner and was ordered not to go out at night, was lying on the sofa to watch soap operas with Jiao's mother, wondering in his heart, should I go to the overpass tomorrow to pull two beards from the blind old man and test the limit of the old man's patience? .
