After coercing Lisa to help her escape from the private orphanage, the little boy Wei disappeared into the depths of the white alley in a blink of an eye, and even snatched Lisa's coat to protect him from the cold before leaving.

In this way, Wei shuttled and escaped through the streets and alleys alone, when he was tired, he would find a place with few people or a bridge hole to lie down, and when he was thirsty and hungry, he would sneak into someone else's yard to get something.

Fortunately, although Wei had an oriental face, he interestingly covered his face and hair features with a cloak, and he didn't encounter any major problems after a week.

It's just that the things in Holy Rome are too unpalatable, cold and hard, and they are all big fish and meat, which makes Wei, who is accustomed to oriental cuisine, suffer from torture, and often eats to make his stomach upset, and as a result, all his efforts to find food for a day are in vain.

Finally one day, the hungry Wei secretly followed a middle-aged gentleman carrying a vegetable basket, who never directly robbed other people's things, and finally broke this principle when he saw the fruits and vegetables he saw for the first time in the vegetable basket except potatoes for so long.

However, just as Wei followed the middle-aged gentleman into the alley and was about to make a move from behind him, the middle-aged gentleman with a soft face suddenly turned around and looked at the startled Wei with some confusion: "Young man, what do you want after following me for so long?" If you can't do it, you can talk about it, you don't have to do it. ”

Taking a few steps back vigilantly, Wei heard the words of the middle-aged gentleman, a little confused and a little speechless, but after a little thought, he still stretched out his thin arm, pointed to the tomatoes in the vegetable basket, and said half-baked: "That, one." ”

Looking down at the tomatoes, the middle-aged gentleman took out two of them with a smile: "You have lost weight like this, you only want one?" Well, take these two and finish today's ...... Anyway, you can understand me, but you can't speak Anglo-Saxon fluently, and your pronunciation is normal, so you don't seem to be a local, right? ”

did not step forward to take the tomatoes from the middle-aged gentleman's hand, Wei, who was already cautious and cautious, withdrew a few steps after hearing his words, squatting down with tense muscles, looking like he might run away at any time.

Seeing that he seemed to be frightened by the little boy in front of him, the middle-aged gentleman had no choice but to squat down, gently put the two tomatoes in his hand on the ground, and after standing up, he did not forget to advise: "Then I will put things here." Remember to wash before you eat, otherwise it will be too unhygienic and easy to get sick. ”

After speaking, the middle-aged gentleman turned around and was about to leave, but as soon as he walked more than ten meters, he heard the sound of gobbling chews behind him, and suddenly stopped.

Looking sideways and looking back, the middle-aged gentleman looked at the sloppy little boy who was eating the tomatoes with juice, and an extremely tangled look appeared on his face.

Eventually, the middle-aged gentleman turned around and took out a gold-rimmed handkerchief from his pocket to wipe the little boy's face.

As a result, as soon as he took a few steps, Wei quickly retreated like a frightened wild cat, wanting to run away but looking at the half-pulled tomato that fell to the ground in front of him, he was reluctant to give up, hesitating whether to run directly or pick up the tomato and run again.

Seeing him like this, the middle-aged gentleman also knew that he couldn't force the little boy to wipe his face today, so he retreated a few steps back, and said while Wei Chong came up to pick up half a tomato: "Tomorrow is still here, I will still be here." If you still want to eat fruit, come back here. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Wei's back disappeared from the exit of the alley, leaving the middle-aged gentleman standing in the alley and sighing helplessly.

…

…

Running back to the safety of the place where he used to stay, Wei munched on fruits and vegetables that he hadn't eaten in a long time, while recalling the strange man's actions.

I actually gave myself two red fruits, although they are a little sour, but they are much stronger than potatoes. But...... He seems to have said that if he still wants, he will go to him again this time tomorrow?

Just kidding, the adults I met before all looked disgusted, and when I saw myself, I either drove away or hid my face to avoid it, can I still believe the words of that strange person?

I, Wei, would never fall for that strange man even if I jumped from this bridge hole and drowned in the river below!

…

…

At noon the next day, in the familiar alley.

Oops, it smells so good!

Snorting and nibbling on the two tomatoes that the stranger gave him, Wei was still firm in his thoughts: Isn't it just sugar-coated cannonballs? Then eat the icing yourself and throw the shells back!

While thinking so, Wei stared at the movements of the middle-aged gentleman opposite, but was surprised to find that after giving him two tomatoes, the opposite side casually dropped a sentence and patted his ass and left.

For a moment, Wei's heart was stunned.

No, no, no, what are you thinking, this person is also a despicable adult, and he must not be so kind to himself, what he should really do is to get away from it after this meal.

Just thinking of the taste of tomatoes, Wei subconsciously swallowed his saliva.

Or...... How many rubs can you rub?

In this way, the young Wei was fed by the middle-aged gentleman whose name he didn't know for a week, and after gradually letting down his vigilance, he was finally willing to let him wipe his face.

The middle-aged gentleman, who finally realized his expectations, was ecstatic, and the next day he brought a bucket and looked forward to it in the alley, but it turned out to be so frightened that Wei turned around and ran away as soon as he appeared, and the middle-aged gentleman abducted him with tomatoes for a long time before he flickered over.

While Wei was nibbling on tomatoes on the ground, the middle-aged gentleman seized the time to soak the face towel and wring it out, and cleaned Wei Yanwu's face with a towel that was still warm.

After the middle-aged gentleman finished his work, the originally clear face washing water in the small bucket turned into a bucket of black and dirty water, and the middle-aged gentleman frowned.

But fortunately, his obsessive-compulsive disorder was satisfied, and the middle-aged gentleman could be regarded as having completed the purpose of insisting on feeding for a week.

It's just that......

Looking at Wei, who even showed a delicate face after being wiped clean, the middle-aged gentleman always felt that he couldn't just leave him alone, otherwise his conscience would not be able to pass.

However, the situation in his own family must not tolerate taking a homeless little beggar back to raise him, so he can only find time to feed him every day.

Looking at the middle-aged gentleman who changed his face rapidly and finally stood up with a sigh, Wei subconsciously jumped out a few steps, gobbling up the tomatoes and planning to run away.

Although his feet were already raised, Wei still turned his head to look at the middle-aged gentleman, and after receiving his affirmative reply with a wry smile that he would come again tomorrow, he left the alley with confidence and boldness.

And just like that, another few weeks passed.

One afternoon, the middle-aged gentleman with a large suitcase came to the alley a little later than usual, apologized to Wei Lianlian, who was waiting here, and then took out three tomatoes for him.

The extra tomato than before finally dispelled the negative emotions accumulated in Wei's waiting, and while nibbling on the tomatoes, Wei saw the middle-aged gentleman take out a strange thing from the box, and his face showed a look of nostalgia and helplessness.

Thinking that after so many days, the middle-aged gentleman was finally going to do it to himself, Wei subconsciously picked up the extra tomato and took a few steps back, but recalled that the middle-aged gentleman was not only very gentle with himself these days, but even made up for himself if he was late for a while, so he hesitated and stopped the momentum of turning around and running away, and decided to see what the middle-aged gentleman wanted to do first.

As if sensing Wei's vigilance, the middle-aged gentleman showed him the violin in his hand with a smile, then tilted his head and clamped it, and after finishing his posture, he pulled the strings and played a melodious and beautiful music.

Seeing a middle-aged gentleman perform magic in front of his eyes for the first time, Wei squatted on the ground and listened to him play alone. It wasn't until the end of the song that Wei first immersed himself in the music for a while, and then came back to his senses, looking at the smiling face of the middle-aged gentleman for a while, slightly embarrassed, but still curiously stretched out his hand, wanting to touch how the violin sounded.

Subconsciously grabbing Wei's claws stretched out to his violin, the middle-aged gentleman hesitated for a moment and then took out his handkerchief and wiped his dirty little hands clean in Wei's grinning protest, allowing him to touch his violin.

With the permission of the middle-aged gentleman, Wei grabbed the violin, which was a little bulky to himself, and put the slender section in his hand, clamping the wide section with his chin, and then began to pull the strings.

The screeching noise startled Wei himself, but fortunately, after he subconsciously let go, he realized that it was something to feed himself, and grabbed the body of the piano so that it didn't fall off.

Angrily and funny, he took back his violin from Wei's hand, and the middle-aged gentleman patted his skull: "You, this thing is too difficult for people who have never touched musical instruments, you better try the most basic things first." ”

As he spoke, the middle-aged gentleman took out a harmonica from his trouser pocket, blew on it and made different rhythms, and then took out a handkerchief and wiped it clean before handing it to Wei, who looked expectant.

Huhu learned the movements of the middle-aged gentleman and blew on the harmonica, Wei at first only made some rhythmless sounds, but after roughly mastering the scales corresponding to the respective positions of the harmonica, Wei began to blow the melody fluently, and after trying the beginning a few times, he directly played the music that the middle-aged gentleman had just played all the mustaches and tails.

Stunned and looking at the little beggar in front of him, the middle-aged gentleman couldn't hide his excitement, and trembled his hands and motioned to Wei Xian, who was about to leave with a harmonica, to wait: "Wait, wait, wait!" Little one, do you want to learn more music? That's the kind of music. ”

Afraid that Wei would not understand his words and turn away, the middle-aged gentleman pulled out a new piece of music, which made Wei's eyes light up suddenly.

Anyway, in addition to sleeping under the bridge hole, he usually competes for water with other people's free-range geese, Wei just thought about it and was ready to agree, but he hesitated as soon as he spoke.

I don't know why Wei suddenly stopped, the middle-aged gentleman looked anxious but didn't dare to urge him, so he had to stand in the alley with a violin like a fool and do it in a hurry.

After thinking about it carefully, Wei took out the surplus tomatoes from his broken pocket and was about to take them back to eat, and showed them to the middle-aged gentleman: "Learn, it's okay, I want more to eat!" ”

Call! That's it?

Finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the middle-aged gentleman immediately nodded and said that there was no problem: "Okay, a piece of music and a tomato, if you learn well, I will give you other delicious food!" ”

"A word?"

"It's a deal!"

After making the promise of seeing you tomorrow, Wei Xing left the alley happily.

The next day, after the two of them finished learning a song, the middle-aged gentleman gave Wei another tomato and a piece of chocolate according to the deal, and looked at Wei with a smile and ate the chocolate with bright eyes.

Then, the innocent and young Wei was put down by the narcotic that had already been mixed into the chocolate, and was tragically abducted by a middle-aged gentleman.

Later, the abductor, who went against the boy's own will, forcibly adopted him as his adopted son, despite his wife's dissatisfaction, began to teach him etiquette, and during this time, he also captured the little ghost who tried to escape countless times.

After a full year of wits and courage between the two, Wei still succumbed to the temptation of food and the yearning for music for some reason, gradually became accustomed to the teachings of middle-aged gentlemen, and even began to take the initiative to learn the rhythm and the use of various musical instruments.

Then there is nothing to tell the story, Wei quickly won the appreciation of the middle-aged gentleman's wife with his musical talent, and through the family's financial support, he quickly completed a series of necessary studies, passed a series of necessary procedures, and at the age of sixteen, he began to tour around the Holy Rome with the middle-aged gentleman's music troupe, and it didn't take long for the middle-aged gentleman, who already had a certain reputation, to become famous with Wei. Their experiences were overlooked, and the dark parts of them were dismissed as good stories, which spread throughout Holy Rome.

In this way, he followed the middle-aged gentleman on tour for a few years, and the young talent who has always insisted that he is called Wei has become more and more brilliant, and even the middle-aged gentleman himself who found this piece of gold and showed it to the world gradually felt ashamed.

Eventually, the middle-aged gentleman decided to let Wei go out and develop his talent as a musician.

Although he was reluctant to give up on his mentor, Wei still followed his hope and chose to become a violinist, and since then he has been out of control, and his fame has grown more and more, and he even appeared on the bandstage of the Vienna Concertgebouw in his early twenties, becoming the second youngest musician to appear on this stage in the history of Holy Rome.

Day by day went by happily and happily, until—

Lightly exhaling the last smoke ring, Wei Yanwu stopped after saying this, and after glancing at the time of the wrist watch, he clapped his hands and blew away Wu Xiu and Husky, who secretly came over to listen to his story: "Okay, okay, it's all here, you have to get up tomorrow, right?" Let's go to bed, you two look at Xiao Chen, how calm you are, right, Xiao Chen? ”

Smiling at Wei Yanwu, Chen Fan asked a question intentionally or unintentionally: "Ask last and go to bed, what is the name of your mentor, Uncle Wei?" ”

Stuffy and snuffed out the cigarette butt, Wei Yanwu sighed deeply: "Muza Gottlib (Note 1), when he died, he should be called Jin's name, Muza Salieri (Note 2)." ”

(Note 1: Gottlieb, meaning a man favored by God.) Muza, Mozart's original Chinese translation.

Salieri: Antonio Salieri (Italian: Antonio Salieri), an Italian composer and Mozart contemporary, achieved extraordinary success, taught Beethoven, Schubert and other famous musicians, but for some reason was stigmatized as killing Mozart. ）
