"What do you mean?" Zhao Yu asked, "why don't I know?"
"Although long Dan is deaf, he is a man who wants face," said the old man. "Even in the regiment, few people know this secret!"
Oh
Zhao Yu realized that the goal he was looking for was not that one ear was missing, but that he was deaf! He is deaf!
Long Dan, long Dan
Foreigners still have such names, so... Is this person really the target they are looking for?
"No?" Zhao Yu can only continue to talk nonsense, "he is not completely deaf. He should only be deaf in one ear? You certainly don't know which one it is, do you? "
"Left ear," the old man narrowed his eyes and seemed to regard Zhao Yu as an uninvited guest, "I can't remember wrong! He is a cellist. If he can't hear it in his left ear, he will make the pitch deviate, and only I can hear it! "
"Oh..." Zhao Yu began to feel excited because he got important information. He thought quickly and said, "are all long Dan on the world tour in the 1990s? I can't hear anything... "
"Of course," said the old man, sipping the wine again, "the symphony orchestra, more than one cellist, has a deviation in intonation. Even professionals may not be able to hear it!
"However, long Dan could have become the best cellist in the world if he hadn't had an ear problem. When I first entered the orchestra, he even held a special cellist performance!
"What a pity, alas..."
"In the 1990s and 1991, you went to Seoul first and then Tokyo a month later, didn't you?" Zhao Yu asked again, "at that time, you were not a conductor, were you? I really have no impression of you! "
"You... I'm old and don't want to swear," the old man said with a stare at Zhao Yu. "At that time, I had been commanding for several years!
"Your words really make me have the impulse to hit people. Do you really... Don't you know me? Or, purely for provocation? "
"No, no, no..." said Zhao Yu. "To tell you the truth, I especially want to find long Dan and take a picture with him. I don't know, he is now..." Zhao Yu pointed to the opposite concert hall, "is he in there?"
"He retired long ago!" The old man said, "maybe... Um... After 95 years, he took the initiative to quit the orchestra because his condition deteriorated!
"In fact, he has a good beginning and a good end, and he has become famous!" The old man said, "quit at the best time and leave no regrets! However, he was a little strange. He had no friends. I went to see him several times, but I didn't see him. Since then, I basically lost contact
"It's just that I saw him at an old man's funeral!"
"In 1995," Zhao Yu asked, "was it after the performance in Toronto?"
"Yes!" The old man nodded, "I'm beginning to believe you. You've really seen many performances by the Royal Orchestra!"
"What does it mean that his condition has deteriorated?" Zhao Yu asked again, "what's wrong with him except his ears?"
"You really care about him!" The old man took another sip, but the wine was dry. He sighed helplessly, "it's the ear. He has a rare hearing neurosis, and his right ear will slowly degenerate until he can't hear anything!
"It is said that after 95 years, he had surgery, cochlear implants and other things, but they were unsuccessful... The best hearing aid can only make him barely hear a little!"
"Man," Zhao Yuchong said, snapping his fingers and pointing to the old man, "give our conductor some of your best wine! I'll pay! "
"Yes, sir!" The waiter bowed politely, "excuse me, what wine to drink?"
"Whisky, my favorite!" The old man directly handed the greasy wine pot to the waiter.
"How hard it has always been for artists!" Zhao Yu said, "long Dan has entered the silent world, so his temper and character are a little different?"
"That's not absolute," said the old man. "It's the same when Longdan didn't become a cage! Even if he becomes the greatest cellist now, he still has no friends, I dare say! Ha ha... "
Because Zhao Yu bought wine for him, the old man gradually eliminated his hostility and smiled.
"I remember, does long Dan like Van Gogh?" Zhao Yu made persistent efforts and asked again.
"Huh? Really? " The old man said uncertainly, "why don't I know? But Van Gogh seems to be missing an ear, right? Sympathize with each other? Hehe... "
"He... Where does he live now?" Zhao Yu asked again.
"I'm afraid it's hard for you to find him," said the old man. "I haven't seen him for more than ten years. I don't know whether I'm alive or not!
"His old house is in Baker County, but it has been sold!"
"So..." Zhao Yu asked again, "no one around you has seen him again?"
"Well..." the old man shook his head and said, "no! But... I don't know what's going on... No one has been interested in it for more than ten years, but in the last month, so many people have asked about long Dan. What's the matter? "“ Ah? " Zhao Yu was surprised, "has anyone ever looked for Longdan?"“ Here comes the wine... "At this time, the waiter took back the wine pot and poured Zhao Yu a glass of whisky“ My baby, "the old man took the wine pot, took a quick sip, his face was full of pleasant expression, and then said," last month, an old man came to me and asked me about the whereabouts of long Dan“ Moreover, the old people in the band are almost the same as me. They have been questioned one after another. Even the police... "Hey, you are an Asian. What are you doing looking for long Dan?" The old man said, "how do I feel, unlike his fans? Isn't it? What did long Dan do? "“ Old man, "Zhao Yu asked," what kind of old man? Asians like me still... "Well..." the old man said, "he is a decent guy, either Asian or white! It's about my age and looks familiar. Oh... It has a strong London accent! "“ London accent? " Zhao Yu frowned and recalled carefully. She felt that there was no such person in her impression. Wait... Look familiar? Zhao Yu thought of something, hurriedly took out her mobile phone, opened the photo of Lundi, the former world's richest man, and then took it to the old man and asked, "look, is this man!!?"“ HMM... "The old man recognized it carefully, shook his head and said," no, that man doesn't wear glasses, and he's thinner than this man! It's very gentle. Um... Wait a minute, you haven't told me why you're looking for long Dan“ He... What happened to him? "“ Long Dan... Um... "Zhao Yu's mind turned sharply and his eyes flashed. At the moment, he realized that he was about to approach the important truth! So he quickly changed his mind and asked the old man, "when long Dan was young, have you ever been to Yunzhou? Does he believe in a very special kind of witchcraft!!? " This novel has been translated by www.novelhall.com and if you are reading this somewhere, they have stolen our translation.
