Chapter Forty-Eight: The Soul Musician
Tang Ge wanted to laugh at Da Shi for a few words, but was attracted by a flute sound in the distance. Tang Ge followed the sound and found that the flute was played by an old man selling jade.
This old man Tang Ge is very familiar, and his goldfish pendant was found at the old man's jade stall. The old man on this jade stall has old hair and beard, but the tendons and flesh of his body are still strong, and the old man can be called a crane with a childish face, and he looks very good.
Tang Ge took a closer look and found that the old man's hair was neatly combed, tied tightly behind his head with an animal skin rope, and his beard was also carefully groomed, and he was playing a bone flute with a focused expression. The melodious flute sound is matched with its handsome appearance, and the calm temperament precipitated by the years, it looks more and more fairy wind bones, floating out of the dust.
Tang Ge stood in front of the jade stall and quietly enjoyed the old man's performance.
In the bone flute made of crane leg bones, the song fluttering out is clumsy and desolate, but also elegant and graceful, giving people a sense of natural music. Tang Ge even vaguely felt that the sun rises and the moon sets, the years shuttle, generations come and go, the sadness of reincarnation and impermanence, and there is active survival, joy in suffering, even if generations of people fall in the wilderness, they still struggle to fight majestic.
Those who have not experienced the vicissitudes of life cannot play such a majestic tune.
"Soul musician! The master is in the folk! At the end of the song, Tang Ge sighed. What a song! This kind of song should be passed down through the ages.
"Isn't that a good tune?"
Tang Ge was out of his mind, and someone behind him asked a question. turned his head and looked, and found that the person standing behind them was actually Ma Boss!
With a "choking" sound, Dashi subconsciously pulled out the Zhenggong knife, looking like he was facing a great enemy.
"What's the matter? Want to play two tricks with me? Ma Boss asked with a smile.
Dashi smiled wryly, stuck the knife back in, and explained dryly: "Scared me, I thought someone was plotting against us." ”
Ma Lao Da smiled nonchalantly, took out a dried leaf from the skin pouch around his waist and just chewed it in his mouth, but he was noncommittal about the explanation of the big stone.
"Uncle Ma, why are you here?" Tang Ge asked with a smile.
Boss Ma looked at Tang Ge's eyes full of doting, and said with a smile: "Come and have a good time, and buy something by the way." I didn't expect to meet you two. ”
The last time I saw Ma Boss, this guy was like a wild man, his hair and beard were unkempt, and his body was dirty. But today's Ma Boss, his hair and beard are well groomed, he is wearing cloth clothes, or the style that Banpo Dolphin has just spread, his face and hands are clean, and even the pockmarks on his face are faintly glowing, which shows that this guy is doing very well now.
Boss Ma has never expressed hostility towards Banpo Dolphin and Tang Ge, so Tang Ge is also quite polite to him, and said politely at the moment: "We didn't expect to meet Uncle Ma, I don't know if Uncle Ma's matter is finished?" If that's done, why don't you go to our tribal camp for a drink? ”
Ma Lao looked up to the sky and smiled, and said heroically: "No! Big Stone doesn't want to see me now, so I won't please him. ”
"Big brother, I don't want to see you anywhere. It's been a long time since we've seen each other, so it's time for us to have a drink. Big Stone said with some embarrassment.
"Okay, you don't have to explain, we just have a plan in our hearts." Ma Boss said with a sigh: "Our brothers, if you have anything to say, don't be so pretentious." ”
When the big stone heard this, he sighed and said no more.
Ma Boss touched Tang Ge's head, his expression changed to joy again, and said, "It's your little doll, it's very hearty, Uncle likes it very much!" When we have the chance, we can have a good drink or two. ”
"Uncle just orders, Tang Ge is always with you." Tang Ge said respectfully.
"Hahahaha!" Ma Boss patted Tang Ge's shoulder and praised repeatedly: "Okay! Good boy! Wait, when Uncle is done, let's have a good chat! ”
After saying a word, the old man left without looking back.
Looking at the back of Boss Ma who was walking away, Tang Ge asked Da Shi: "Why are you so jealous of this guy?" He doesn't seem to be hostile to us, huh? ”
Big Stone said: "Because he is a madman!" ”
"And what is this madman wandering around the world all day long?" Tang Ge asked curiously.
"He's looking for someone. It is said that the man will never die. ”
"Is there really anyone in this world who can't die?" Tang Ge asked in great surprise.
"Of course not!" Dashi sneered: "I don't know who cheated him, saying that there is a person in this world who will never die, let alone grow old, and can live forever, he believed it, so he ran all over the world, intending to find this person." ”
"He wants to live forever?"
"No, he's going to kill this immortal man and prove that he's the strongest man in the world."
"He's a madman." Tang Ge sighed.
When Da Shi discussed Ma Boss, the expression on his face was very complicated, that is, there was respect, envy, and more fear.
Tang Ge knew that Da Shi didn't like to discuss the matter of Ma Boss, so he didn't ask any more, and instead focused on the old man in the jade stall.
After a song was played, Xu had rested enough, and the old man picked up the jade seed material and began to ponder it carefully. No matter what you do, as long as you are proficient in doing it, you will naturally have a natural feeling when you work. The old man is also like this, a quick seed jade flies up and down in his hand, occasionally placed in front of his eyes to look carefully, and then continues to ponder carefully, and there is a different kind of beauty contained in it.
No matter how handsome the old man was and how beautiful his movements were, Tang Ge was not interested in staring at a bad old man to appreciate it, so he greeted the old man without hesitation: "Old man, don't be busy yet." ”
Seeing Tang Ge greeting him, the old man hurriedly hunched his back, greeted him with a flattering face, and said, "Young Wu, what do you command?" ”
is obviously a good skin of fairy wind bones, but it is a pity that he is so humble and snobbish when he speaks, it is really a pity that he has such a good appearance. Tang Ge sighed secretly and said, "Do you know me?" ”
The old man nodded and said, "Of course! In the whole wasteland, who doesn't know that you are a young witch! ”
Tang Ge nodded with satisfaction and said, "Pick up your best jade material and make me a jade plaque, it should be square, flat and neat, and you don't need any decorations, when will it be done?" ”
The old man patted his chest and promised, "Before it gets dark, send it to your tent!" Guaranteed to be the best craftsmanship, the best jade! ”
Tang Ge smiled slightly and said, "Then hurry up and do it, if you do a good job, you will be rewarded." ”
In the old man's repeated thanks, Tang Ge took the big stone and walked away.
