Dong Qiangqiang's Story of Leaving Germany

Chapter 67 67. Music Room

"Here again?" Tong Lele looked at Lei Lanting and whispered.

"What's coming again?" Dong Qiangqiang felt strange seeing the other two picking up knives at the same time.

"A strange sound. It was also heard when we came in just now. Lao Lei went to see it and said it was the sound of a ball falling on the floor."

"You two came in just now?"

Tong Lele blushed and was embarrassed to continue talking.

"We arrived very early, and later Lele... She felt sick. I took her to the station, but I missed the bus and had to walk back. I happened to meet you and the German." Lei Lanting was lucky. , did not say what Tong Lele was afraid of, Tong Lele glanced at him gratefully.

"Is there anyone else in this house?" Dong Qiangqiang saw that Lei Lanting was also nervous, and felt even more strange, "Didn't the intermediary tell you?"

Lei Lanting shook his head: "The intermediary just showed me the environment last time, gave me a bunch of keys, and said the cleaning requirements, but didn't say anything else."

"Well, let's go up and have a look in a while, so everyone can feel more at ease. Maybe the agency has called other people to clean up the hygiene. The more people there are, the quicker it is to clean up. But before you go up, you two have to wait for me to put the duck and fish. It's all packed up." After speaking, Dong Qiangqiang started to brush the duck with his own secret honey juice.

Lei Lanting had experienced joining forces with Dong Qiangqiang to fight the violence, and today he saw him drunkenly capture a wild boar again, and admired him to the ground.Hearing what he said, Lei Lanting also felt that he was too nervous. He and Tong Lele put down the knives in their hands and came to help Dong Qiangqiang.

Because the ducks have been cleaned up at home, the honey is brushed quickly, Dong Qiangqiang is hard at work brushing the ducks by the oven, and Lei Lanting is cleaning the fish by the pool.Tong Lele looked at the two men working and suddenly felt a sense of happiness.

The two ducks were cleaned up quickly. Dong Qiangqiang wiped the sweat from the top of his head with his arm. When he looked up, he saw Tong Lele staring at him intently. He joked, "Wait in a hurry?"

When Dong Qiangqiang saw that he was peeping, Tong Lele blushed, turned his face away, and muttered, "BJ people are not as greedy as you are."

Before Dong Qiangqiang could refute, Lei Lanting on the side said, "Don't make regional comments, roast duck is a good thing, even foreigners are greedy for our roast duck."

Dong Qiangqiang hung the two ducks on the boom of the oven and suggested, "Bake the ducks and the fish separately, otherwise the smell will be skewed and it will not taste good."

To this suggestion, Tong Lele and Lei Lanting agreed unanimously.

After Dong Qiangqiang set the baking time and temperature, he turned the switch and the oven hummed.

The duck went into the oven, and Dong Qiangqiang was idle.Seeing that Lei Lanting still had a few fish left unfinished, Dong Qiangqiang stretched out his hand and wanted to pick one up to help him deal with it. Lei Lanting hurriedly held his hand: "You can take a break, these fish can be brought by me."

"That's it, you can slowly clean up first, I just went upstairs to check." Dong Qiangqiang said as he walked out of the kitchen.

"Take this." Lei Lanting said behind him, Dong Qiangqiang turned his head and saw Lei Lanting handing him a German boning knife.

"Isn't it necessary? So exaggerated?" Dong Qiangqiang said with a smile, "I just go upstairs to take a look, but I won't go out."

"Be prepared." Lei Lanting insisted, "In case of encountering an animal, there is also a self-defense. Take it."

Seeing Lei Lanting's serious look, Dong Qiangqiang reached out and took the boning knife.The knife was heavy in his hand and had a lot of weight.

Following the stairs, Dong Qiangqiang came to the room on the second floor directly above the kitchen on the first floor.Seeing that the door was closed, he knocked on the door with his hand, but no one answered.He tried to turn the doorknob, but the door opened immediately, he reached out and fumbled on the wall beside the door, and turned on the light in the room.

As the lights gradually turned on, Dong Qiangqiang saw that this was a study, with huge bookcases standing on three walls, filled with various books.There are also some picture frames and dolls scattered on the bookcase.A window was opened on the other wall, and a desk was placed under the window like the first floor.

There was no one to hide in the room.

Dong Qiangqiang felt strange in his heart: He and the other two clearly heard footsteps. If the sound didn't come from this room, where did it come from?

Walking out of the study, he also turned around the other rooms on the second floor.But what surprised him was that in addition to the bedroom, study and bathroom on the second floor, the room next to the stairs turned out to be a music room.

The music room is about 25 square meters. The wood, furniture and even the ceiling in the room are quite different from other rooms. Even a layman like Dong Qiangqiang can see that the decoration of this room is more exquisite than other rooms.

On the wall of the room hangs an oil painting of a portrait of a person. The person in the oil painting has white curly hair and a slim black court dress, and his eyes are looking away.

Dong Qiangqiang carefully looked at the wooden sign below the oil painting, and saw a few letters engraved on it: JSBACH.

It turned out to be the great musician Bach.Although Dong Qiangqiang is not a lover of classical music, he also knows Bach's position in the German music industry.It appears that the owner of the house is a Bach fan.

His eyes fell on the row of bookshelves closest to him. The bookshelves were about two meters high. Various books and magazines related to music were placed in different heights. Through the gaps between the books, Dong Qiangqiang could vaguely see a few books behind The bookshelves are pretty much the same.

A large rectangular, dusty cardboard box at the bottom of the bookshelf caught his attention.

He walked to the cardboard box, squatted down slowly, put the knife beside him, and pulled the cardboard box out with his right hand.

The cardboard box was very heavy, and when Dong Qiangqiang pulled it, he didn't even pull it.

Dong Qiangqiang stretched out his two hands, and with more force, the carton was pulled to the wooden floor.The ash on the cardboard rose up, causing him to cough twice.

He dusted off the floating soil on the cardboard box, tore off the yellow seal, and caught sight of a ginger-yellow oily paper bag.He tore open the paper bag sealed with tape, revealing a large translucent plastic bag inside.Dong Qiangqiang curiously opened the seal of the plastic bag, which was actually filled with black records.He roughly counted, there were nearly two hundred.In addition to the well-known musicians, there are also many works by German musicians that he has never heard before.

He took one out of the paper bag at random, and saw several rows of German words printed on the record. Dong Qiangqiang read it after a while, stammering out: "The Brandenburg Concerto." Look at the record again. The recording time of 1943 turned out to be [-], which surprised Dong Qiangqiang, but he did not expect it to be a pre-World War II music product.

He carefully put the record into the record player, lightly hooked on the needle, the record slowly rotated in the record player, making a squeaking sound, Dong Qiangqiang stared at the record player intently, after about ten seconds, the melodious The melody flows slowly from under the needle.

Dong Qiangqiang was intoxicated with classical music when Lei Lanting suddenly stumbled and ran in from the door: "Old Dong, come and see this way..."

Before he finished speaking, he also heard soothing and pleasant music, and saw a cardboard box of records on the floor.He wondered: "This is..."

"These records were found in this house," Dong Qiangqiang said excitedly, pointing at the records. "The owner of this house must be a music lover, maybe a musician."

"I don't know if it's a musician, but he must be..." Lei Lanting blinked and sold out, "Come down and see, Tong Lele found something good."

The two ran down the stairs, and the door of the music room suddenly closed slowly from the inside.
