227 the old man of the director

The bright moonlight reflected the tall wooden buildings, and the clear lake reflected a snow-white moon. The whole Hezab tribe was trapped in silence. Only the sad tunes hovered over the whole Hezab, and Tina walked in the direction of the flute.

She bypassed the quiet wooden buildings and gradually walked to the side of the dense forest. Standing outside the dense forest, she saw a blazing fire in an open space inside, and an old figure sitting by the fire playing the bone flute. Yes, it's the bone flute. Although there is still a distance, it is impossible for Tina to see the appearance of the flute clearly, but the trill that goes deep into the bone marrow and the low music melted into the blood will never be wrong. As long as you listen to it once, you will never forget it.

She stood in a daze outside the woods, listening to the old man playing. She didn't know where her soul was. Countless scenes flashed through her mind. It seemed that she had lived her life again in just a moment. Her mood changed dramatically with the past, and she was full of sadness and joy.

Until the end of the song, she stood there in a daze, unable to move at all.

The old man in the woods seemed to have known that someone was hiding outside eavesdropping. He turned his back to Tina and ordered in a low voice, "Come in."

Tina was stunned and walked in gently. The moment he raised his leg, he suddenly thought of the strangeness of the matter. If the Hezab tribe was not allowed to communicate with foreigners, why did the old man speak so righteously?

She walked in gently and said politely in the back, "Hello, old man, I didn't mean to disturb you."

The old man waved his hand and slowly turned around. The red firelight reflected a majestic face, bright and strong eyes, and the straight nose showed an arrogant and stubborn personality. He is dressed as a typical Khizab resident, but he is wearing a peacock fur cloak embroidered with a golden eagle, which shows the difference from other Khizab people.

His sharp old eyes swept Tina's face and asked, "Tourists coming in from outside today?"

Tina was slightly stunned, and then nodded to show her identity.

The old man's face was more severe, and he continued to say, "Since you know that you are a tourist, why rush around without the owner's permission? And now it's late at night. Aren't you afraid of encountering danger in a completely strange place?

Tina was stunned again. Then she remembered that she had just heard the music. She was fascinated and forgot the danger and followed the sound of the music. Her face was full of apologies and whispered, "You're right. I shouldn't walk around at will. It's just that this requiem is so touching that I walked here unconsciously along the music. Li, I'll go back immediately.

The old man's eyes had suddenly opened wide, and there was a trace of excitement inside. He suddenly took a step forward and grabbed her sleeve and said, "How do you know that I'm playing a requiem? The people in this tribe know that you are a foreign tourist."

His eyes were suddenly a little excited and his strength was very strong. Tina was slightly shocked. She pulled back her sleeves and whispered, "I heard an old senior play it. She is also a member of Hezabu. She guided me the way to Hezab from outside the mountains."

The old man's chest heaved desperately. He suppressed the excitement in his chest for a long time and calmly asked, "Are you from our tribe to the outside of the mountains? There are not many people who have gone out in the past few decades. Who are you talking about?"

Tina saw him so excited and thought that when the director of the love kindergarten played the bone flute, there was a kind of melancholy in her eyes, and her heart moved slightly. She whispered, "It's a 50 or 60-year-old grandmother. She went out of Hezabu when she was young and never came back. She had an old bone flute in her hand, which was engraved on it. Hezab's words 'hands and feet'.

The old man's body shook. After a long time, he asked softly, "What is she doing now? Is she doing well?"

Tina nodded, thinking of the director's loving and warm smile, her thin body taking care of the children of the whole kindergarten, and said admiringly, "She lives a good and admirable life. She created a loving kindergarten alone to take in homeless children and shelter them so that they won't suffer and learn badly. . "

The old man's hand trembled slightly. He pinched the bone flute with effort and muttered softly, "Is it a person? How can she be alone?"

Tina doesn't know the director's past. She never mentions her own things easily, but she is sure that something must have happened in the middle, otherwise the old man in front of her would not be so excited, but she doesn't know the context, and she doesn't know how to comfort the excited old man in front of her. She can only comfort and say, "The director Is it your old friend? Now the traffic is so convenient that it's only a day for us to visit here from outside. If it's an old friend, it's very convenient for her to come back or you to go out to visit her.

The old man's eyes were stern. He looked up at her and said impatiently, "You can go down and don't rush around in other people's territory. And the people of Hezab are never allowed to leave the tribe or receive outsiders. It is a special exception for you. If there is no problem with your legs, leave tomorrow morning.

——————————————————————————

Tina was slightly stunned when she heard the words and felt that the old man in front of her was a little moody. She was about to ask who the old man and whether she wanted to send a message to the director when she left, but she was scolded by the old man, but his body was full of majesty. Although Tina was unhappy, she did not dare to refute it easily.

She looked at the old man and thought of his high expression. A flash of light flashed in her mind. Is he the high priest of Hezab? She came to find him. No matter what kind of agreement she wants to reach with Hezab, she must have the consent of the high priest.

Her heart pounded. This was a rare opportunity she must seize. If she missed tonight, she would not have a chance to see him again. She thought of this and refused to give up. She asked softly, "I have been wondering if it is a pair of bone flutes. The bone flute in your hand looks very similar to the bone flute in the director's hand. , isn't it the same?

She guessed that the old man and the director would have a relationship, so she began to test with a bone flute, but she didn't expect that a sentence would greatly anger the old man. His face was full of angry flames, and he roared, "Love and siblings have left the Hezab tribe together decades ago. Didn't she tell you?"

It happened to be self-defeating. Tina was slightly shocked, and the old man was unwilling to forgive her in anger. His heart was so angry that he suddenly pulled out the waist knife hanging on his body and hit Tina's face.

Tina was shocked. She didn't expect that the people of the tribe were so brave and fierce. Even an old man who seemed to be full of majesty could draw a knife to hurt people because of a word. She exclaimed and retreated repeatedly. The sharp knife flashed in front of her, but cut on a hard wooden stick.
