Chapter 168: The Girl
An hour later, they arrived at their destination.
It is a town full of fairy tale, blue streets, architectural features that combine East and West, and a sophisticated and pure atmosphere that makes travelers from afar full of novelty.
The streets are clean, and walking on the cobblestone paths, you will occasionally meet locals smiling and greeting them.
It felt very friendly.
Yu Hai walked along the street for a while and saw a musical instrument shop.
Inside are rows of various local folk musical instruments, the most common being the sattar.
Yu Hai looked in at the door and found a huge workbench in the middle of the store, on which a middle-aged man was working.
Opposite the middle-aged man, a teenage girl sits with her head bowed to make musical instrument accessories.
This should be the store you're looking for.
Yu Hai walked in without hesitation: "Hello! ”
"Oh, hello, what do you need?" The middle-aged shopkeeper greeted him in Mandarin with a thick accent.
Yu Hai said very directly: "Sattar, I want the best!" ”
The middle-aged uncle looked at him a little strangely when he heard this, but he didn't refuse: "Okay, you wait!" ”
Then he turned around and lifted the side curtain, apparently going to the storeroom to get the piano, while Yu Hai waited in place.
The girl sitting at the other end only glanced up at him when she saw this, and the work at hand never stopped.
Behind Yu Hai, the live broadcast girl who sat next to him on the bus before actually never left him too far.
Perhaps it was his casual remark that inspired her, and she felt that this strange traveler might be able to bring new changes to her live broadcast career.
So after coming to the town, she followed Yu Hai behind him intentionally or unintentionally, and walked the same road as him.
At this time, when Yu Hai walked into a musical instrument store, she couldn't hold back her curiosity and followed in.
The shopkeeper thought the two of them were together, so he didn't ask much.
At this time, when the young lady saw Yu Hai blurt out the name of a musical instrument, and wanted the best, she couldn't help but ask curiously: "Do you know these musical instruments?" ”
"Hmm!" Yu Hai didn't care about this girl following him, and when he saw her in the live broadcast, he casually popularized science for everyone.
He pointed to the musical instruments that are rarely seen in the shop and introduced them one by one: "This is the longest national musical instrument here, more than one meter. This is the Etek, a ...... from Persia."
Halfway through Yu Hai's introduction, the shopkeeper had already returned with a very delicately shaped sattar.
However, he did not interrupt Yu Hai's popular science, but listened with relish.
When Yu Hai was almost introduced, he exclaimed: "I can't imagine that there are outsiders who know so much about our musical instruments!" ”
Yu Hai smiled slightly, and did not take credit, but focused on his hand: "Is this the best sattar you have here?" ”
"Yes!" The shopkeeper carefully handed him the instrument with both hands, and introduced: "I use a case made of a hundred-year-old female mulberry tree for this instrument, and look at the smooth grain and uniform density ...... this wood."
Yu Hai took the instrument and observed it carefully.
In terms of appearance, this piano is indeed much more elaborate than most of the pieces hanging in the store!
"The decorations on the body are all handmade by us, and the tone and sound quality are the best I have done in so many years......"
Yu Hai nodded, feeling really good, he asked, "Can I try it?" ”
"Will you?" The shopkeeper was a little surprised: "Of course." ”
Yu Hai then turned his head to look, and sat down on the shopkeeper's stool, he took out the bow, and placed Sattar on his left leg.
In the next second, in the delicate and simple musical instrument store, a long and long note sounded.
This voice seems to float from the depths of a distant and barren desert, with a long history and pathos.
Those who heard it could not help but see in front of their eyes the camel caravan walking in the great desert and the melodious and melodious camel bells.
There is a sadness and a hint of vicissitudes that grows from within.
Because of the timbre of this instrument, and because of the song "Mother" played by Yu Hai.
It was like a call from the depths of my heart, like crying and complaining, soaked in feelings of dependence and reluctance.
It's moving.
The song is finished.
Yu Hai looked up and found that more than a dozen tourists had gathered in front of the musical instrument shop.
After a brief silence, sparse applause rang out.
"That's good!"
"What kind of instrument is this?"
"This song is great too!"
"I don't know why I want to cry after listening to it!"
“……”
And the live broadcast room of the young lady of the tourism live broadcast was unprecedentedly lively.
"I'm amazed by this instrument!"
"Can the anchor help bring a piano back?"
"Suddenly very curious about what the little brother looks like?"
"He's a talented man."
"It is highly recommended that the anchor partner with this little brother live broadcast"
“……”
Even the shopkeeper's uncle couldn't help but give Yu Hai a thumbs up: "You are an expert!" ”
Yu Hai nodded with a smile, feeling that the quality of this piano was really good and met his requirements, and he didn't talk nonsense, so he asked directly: "How much?" ”
The uncle's attitude was sincere, and his tone was dry: "Young man, this piano is not buried in your hand, 100,000 yuan, you take it!" ”
"Good!" Yu Hai didn't mean to bargain at all, he didn't know this skill, and he didn't think it was necessary.
When scanning the code to pay, I don't know when I stopped bowing my head, but the busy girl walked up to Yu Hai and asked him, "Did you write that song just now?" ”
"Yes!"
"What's its name?"
"Mother!"
"That's good!"
"Thank you!"
The girl's lips opened, and she looked at the instrument in his hand in a daze, and suddenly lowered her head and didn't know what to think.
Her eyes are not very large, her cheeks are thin, her contours are a little sharp, her hair is slightly messy, in short, she is not a very good-looking girl.
However, let Yu Hai look at her hands, I don't know if it's because of long-term manual work, there is no ordinary girl's ability, there are some black cracks on the sides of her fingers, and the cocoon on her stomach is very thick.
Yu Hai secretly wondered in his heart, but there was no difference on his face.
He quickly paid the money, and exchanged some maintenance information with the shopkeeper and uncle, and by the time he walked out of the store with the piano on his shoulder, it had already been more than half an hour.
Looking at the sky, Yu Hai was thinking about whether he would stay in the town at night.
A female voice stopped him: "Please wait a minute! ”
Yu Hai turned his head and found that the tourist anchor had not left: "What's the matter?" ”
The female anchor stretched out her right hand to Yu Hai: "Hello, my name is Huang Xun and I am a travel anchor." ”
Yu Hai looked at her a little inexplicably, but he still reached out and shook her hand, and sent it with a touch: "My surname is Yu, hello!" ”
The hands are so beautiful!
Such a thought flashed in Huang Jing's heart, and his face was slightly embarrassed: "That's the case, can you ask Mr. Yu to be my guide and introduce me to the customs here?" ”
Yu Hai shook his head and refused: "It's my first time here, and I'm not familiar with it." ”
"How so?" Huang Jing obviously didn't believe this statement: "You can play local instruments, you must have been here before, right?" ”
"Nope."
"You know a lot about the instruments here, so you must have studied their culture as well, right?"
"I only know about musical instruments."
Yu Hai's words made Huang Xun show some disappointment, but she still didn't want to give up.
Today, she has no improvement in the live broadcast room, because this man has some ups and downs, if she can follow him, maybe her career will improve.
Taking a step back, even if it is useless, it is not a loss for her, and there is more safety for her to have multiple companions on the journey.
Moreover, this person gave her a very knowledgeable feeling, which made her can't help but want to have more contact with him.
She couldn't help but say again: "Then since we are all here together, we are not familiar with each other, why don't we play together?" It's good to take care of it. ”
Although the proposal is good, it's a pity that Yu Hai doesn't have that much time: "I'm sorry, I'll leave Xizhou tomorrow!" ”
"That's a shame!" Huang Jing could only sigh, but said a little unwillingly: "Then can I play with you today?" ”
Yu Hai has no opinion on this, anyway, if she doesn't agree, she can follow her.
He is not alone in this path.
Huang Jing immediately laughed, and then flew the live broadcast ball in front of the two, and said to Haidao: "Do you want to take off your mask and say hello to my audience?" ”
Yu Hai immediately refused: "No need, I don't want to show my face." ”
Huang Jing could only express regret, but did not persuade much.
Everyone has their own way of life, and no one has the right to interfere, even in the name of doing it for his good.
Yu Hai, who achieved the goal, walked around the town with the little anchor for a while, strolling on such a street, and the mood was really pleasant.
Then they found a homestay to stay, but fortunately because this time is not the peak tourist season, there are not many tourists, otherwise he may have to sleep on the street tonight.
After dinner at a well-decorated local restaurant, Huang Jing approached him and made an appointment to go to the square in the center of the town to have a look.
It is said that there will be some performances and events somewhere in the evening.
Yu Hai did not refuse.
By this time it was already dark, and the street lamps illuminated the town with a little more dreaminess.
After walking for about ten minutes, they heard a faint drum beat.
If you get closer, you will find that many tourists have gathered here in the town square, and on the platform in the center of the square, there is a band playing cheerful songs with local instruments.
Many locals were already singing and dancing in the middle of the square, and many tourists were also pulled to join them.
Huang Xun immediately abandoned Yu Hai and joined the crowd without hesitation.
Yu Hai found a place to sit in the flower bed next to the square.
To be honest, such a scene can only be encountered in Xizhou.
Nowhere else you won't find music like this, you won't find an atmosphere like this, and you won't find the urge to dance.
After a dance song ended, everyone retreated outside the stage, and at this time, a figure familiar to Yu Hai appeared on the stage.
Yu Hai thought for a while, and then remembered the girl he had met in the musical instrument store before.
Because it wasn't too long, he barely remembered the other party.
The girl had changed into a national costume, held a microphone, and sang a folk song accompanied by a band.
The singing voice is melodious and clear, like a clear spring dingdong, which has a unique flavor.
As far as Yu Hai's feeling is concerned, the girl's singing skills are average, and she may not have undergone much professional training, so that the tourists present are not stingy with applause, most of which is due to the excellent voice conditions.
She has an excellent voice, a wide vocal range, and a translucent treble, which should be very talented in singing.
With a little training, it should be easy to become a talent.
Despite this, Yu Hai didn't mean to run over to dig her out.
He is not a talent scout, and the singers of the company don't need him to worry about it.
The performance in the square ended at nine o'clock in the evening, and Yu Hai rejected Huang Jing's proposal to go to the bar.
Boys still have to protect themselves outside.
So he's going back to bed early.
Seeing that Yu Hai was not hotly discussed, Huang Xun also gave up the idea of acting alone, after all, at such a late hour, this person is unfamiliar with life.
As the two of them were walking back, a female voice suddenly came from behind them: "Please wait a minute." ”
Looking back in doubt, it was the girl who sang before.
After she quickly caught up with Yu Hai and the two, she half-squatted and gasped for a while before standing up, and then looked a little nervous, stumbling at Yu Hai and said, "Hello, my name is Diao Yueling, sorry to disturb you, I ...... I'm here to ask you, please...... Can you sell me a song? ”
Her voice became smaller and quieter, and she obviously knew that her behavior was very presumptuous and her confidence was very insufficient.
"Huh?" Yu Hai was surprised: "How do you know that I can write songs?" ”
The girl explained, "You played it in the musical instrument shop, that mother, you can write such a good work, you must be a very good composer." ”
Yu Hai did not deny it: "I do know how to compose, but I don't know you, why should I sell it to you?" ”
The girl's hands grabbed the corners of her clothes, her expression was flustered, and she said a little overwhelmed: "I...... I know it's presumptuous, I don't know any other composers...... I'm not very demanding, even if it's a scrapped manuscript. ”
Speaking of this, she folded her hands and pleaded with a flushed face: "Please, I really need it!" ”
Yu Hai frowned: "What are you going to buy songs for?" ”
"I ...... My brother was sick and I needed to sing to earn money, but they said I could sing too few songs and wanted to replace me. I can't help it! ”
Diao Yueling covered her cheeks with her hands as she spoke: "I can't help it, I can't give up my brother!" ”
It feels like a story.
Yu Hai was silent for a while, then glanced at the live ball beside Huang Jing, and then said to the girl: "Let's find a place to talk!" ”
"Okay, okay!"
The girl took Yu Hai and the others to a restaurant that was still open, and ordered some barbecue meat with some pain.
Then he explained his situation under the inquiry of Yu Hai and the others.
