Chapter 2639 (1/2)
”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.
