Chapter 44 Today's Extra
This erhu is old and outdated. The neck is smoked black, the sound box is cracked, and it is tied with a simple hemp rope; the horsehair bow is thin and soft, as if it will break if you put too much force. When you play it, the sound is as unpleasant as sawing wood, just like a throat that has been hurt by crying.
However, the wind from the erhu suddenly changed, like a strong wind blowing into the lake, rippling the lake, and the man's erhu sound became passionate, like a drowning person grabbing a life-saving straw, and he must survive even if it is difficult.
"Good job!"
"Make another one!"
"Fuck!"
Along with the cheers, Wallis's watch kept making sounds: two yuan in Alipay, ten yuan in Alipay, and one cent in Alipay.
Wallis raised his eyelids to see who only gave him a cent, and who was taking advantage of his sadness for free.
That's right, he quit.
That job paid 1,800 credit points a month, an average of only 60 a day, not as much as he could earn by playing the erhu for an hour in the square. The erhu in his hand seemed to have its own soul, always awakening people's desire for survival and their nostalgia for the good life in the past. In just three days, he became a famous actor in the square - Erhu Guo.
Three words can be used to describe the sound of his erhu:
Straight to the heart! Touching! Tears-inducing!
The famous players in the erhu world may not play better than him, because no one understands the changes of time better than him. The confusion of falling to the bottom and the indignation of not willing to fall tightly entangle him every night when he dreams, sometimes even suffocating him.
Wallis sighed and then started the next erhu performance. The long erhu sound was full of sorrow, and the strands of sorrow were about to break and connect, drifting in the air like a light cloud.
Crack (broken sound)!
The audience who were originally immersed in the sound of the piano shuddered with fear, as if someone had poked their eardrums with a knife.
Wallis looked down at the broken bow, and then said awkwardly: "My friends, I picked up this violin from the trash can. I didn't expect it to be so unusable. It broke in just three days. Can anyone lend me a erhu?"
Wallis' tone was full of humility. He had already resigned and had to rely on this erhu to survive. He had thought that he would change the violin when he made money, but he didn't expect that this erhu would break down so quickly.
His watch suddenly rang: "8,000 yuan has arrived in Alipay!"
Wallis was shocked.
Super rich? !
At this time, a little boy who looked less than eight years old walked out of the crowd. He wiped his tears and said: "Uncle, the erhu you play reminds me of my deceased grandfather. I will give you all my pocket money today. You go buy a new erhu. I will come here every day to listen to you play."
Wallis fell into a long silence.

Some readers don't like me to put the extra chapter at the end of the main text, so I may directly open a separate chapter to post the extra chapter in the future. Hey, it is not ruled out that it will be put in the author's words.
