The piano music was beautiful, and everyone was listening quietly. Mi Le put his finger up to his mouth and said "Shh" to indicate that he should stop talking for the time being.
The bartender nodded knowingly and stood behind them.
No one noticed the passage of time, only the beautiful notes jumped in the air and floated into their ears. It was not until the girl stood up on crutches and bowed to all the guests that people suddenly woke up, followed by a warm burst of cheers.
applause
Mi Le looked at the girl's delicate face, which was a little pale, and her thin body, which could only stand steady with the support of crutches. There was a trace of pity in his eyes.
He turned around and asked the bartender: "What's this girl's name?"
The bartender looked at the girl, and his eyes were full of pity. Hearing Mi Le's words, he replied: "Her name is Guo Jing and we all call her Duoduo. When she was a child, her father took her out to play. Unexpectedly, there was a car accident. Her father was hit by a car.
He threw her out the moment he came up, and his father never woke up again. Her mother couldn't withstand such a blow, and she suddenly went insane and is still awake now."
Mi Le's eyes looked at the girl again. At this time, many guests were throwing money on the stage. The girl bowed again and again. There was a hint of surprise in her eyes, and a desire that people couldn't understand.
Mi Le asked gently: "What about her legs..."
"Her father broke her leg when he threw her out. If it hadn't been for that quack doctor, her legs would not have become disabled. She was only five years old when the accident occurred. The neighbors looked at the mother and daughter in pity and kept helping them, but
After the age of twelve, she never received any help from anyone. At that time, she used her young body to hold up a broken leg to support the home and take care of her insane mother."
The bartender's eyes fell on the girl again, with a hint of tenderness in his eyes: "She is a strong girl. When she was seven years old, she went around picking up garbage and selling it for money. She saved all the money she sold and was reluctant to buy something delicious.
She said that she saved the money to treat her mother because as long as her mother was alive, she would have a complete family. Later, she collected all the books and newspapers she had picked up, and then bought a dictionary to open it.
She began to study by herself. She said that she had no money to study, so she had to rely on herself. She believed that as long as she had knowledge, her and her mother's life would become better and better. Later, she fell in love with music, especially playing the piano, but she relied on
How could I afford the tuition with the little money I saved from picking up garbage? Fortunately, a neighbor’s aunt was an actress in the city’s cultural troupe and introduced her to a teacher, who didn’t charge her a penny in tuition.”
Miller looked at the bartender: "Do you like her?"
The bartender's face darkened, "I like her, but she doesn't like me."
"How do you know her so well?" Lily asked at this time
The bartender's eyes became a little vague, as if he was recalling something, "We are neighbors. Before she was twelve years old, she could accept help from others, but she refused to accept help from me. I have asked her more than once why this is, but she never
None of them answered me. It was her who came here to play the piano, and I asked a neighbor to introduce her here."
Mi Le turned his attention to Lily, "Sister Lili, do you think she plays the piano well?"
Lily nodded, "As good as you."
Mi Le shook his head, "She plays better than me. Listening to the music I play can only be called music, but the music she plays is given a soul. I can clearly feel the sadness in the music and the hope for future life."
