Chapter 16 Chapter 16 Concert

News spread throughout the city of the famous traveler Don't Know and his companions in the hospital.Little Jackdaw and Pinnacle ran tirelessly from house to house, telling their girlfriends the news.These girlfriends told other girlfriends, and other girlfriends told other girlfriends, so the residents of the whole city soon went to the hospital as if they had heard a password.Every girl wanted to do something for the hurt boy.They carry all kinds of things with them.Some with delicious buns, some with jam, some with sweet fudge or fruit juice. After half an hour, girls crowded the hospital street.Of course, so many people who want to go in cannot be put in the hospital.Little Lungstalk came up on the doorstep, and said that the sick man needed nothing, so all the girls should go home and make no noise under the windows.But the girls didn't want to go home.They knew it somehow, and said that the chief boy, named All-Unknown, was coming out of the hospital with his companions, the tin pipe and the harp.

Little Lungcao had to explain, saying that if everyone didn't go away, they wouldn't come out without knowing it.However, the girls did not go home individually, but went to the house of their girlfriends who lived in Hospital Street.When Omniscience, Little Tin Pipe, and Little Harmony, accompanied by Little Snowflake and Blue Eye, went out into the street, they saw almost ten girls looking out of all the windows.For such kindness, I didn't know that I was really flattered.Such conversations reached his ears: "Excuse me, may I ask which one is famous and unknown?" "I don't know it's the one, the one in the yellow trousers."

"The big ears? I'd never think it was ignorance. Look how stupid he is." "It's him, yes, yes! A little silly looking, but with very clever eyes." A girl on the second floor of a house on the corner of the street waved her hands and cried out in a shrill voice, "Nothing! Nothing! Ulla!" Fearlessly, she leaned out of the window and almost fell out.Fortunately, the other girls grabbed her feet in time and dragged her back. "Bah, what a shame! Who does this ignorant person imagine himself to be!" said several girls with stern faces and pointed chins.

"You're right, little Swallow," went on a girl with a pursed upper lip and gleaming white teeth, "for boys, never let him see that you're looking at him. When they're sure their naughtiness isn't When people pay attention, they are not naughty." "That's what I mean, little cat," continued Little Swallow, "you should look down on boys. When they see others look down on them, they won't dare to bully us." The little swallow and the little cat were whispering and chirping, always babbling that they should look down on these flying boys.All the girls agreed to ignore boys, and if they met on the street, they would turn around and walk back or go across the street when they saw them from afar.

However, this condition of the agreement has seldom had any effect.They knew it somehow, that the little tin pipe was a painter, and the little harp was a wonderful musician who could play the flute.Of course everyone wants to hear the flute playing as soon as possible, because people in the green field can only play the harp and have never heard the flute once.Many people don't even know this instrument exists. The girls soon found out that the pipe and harp had been moved to the house in Apple Square where the girl Button lived with her girlfriends.On the second floor of the house, just under the roof, there is a spacious room with a large, bright window opening along the entire wall.Tinpipe liked this room because it had a lot of light; so he and Littlestring decided to move there.

The windows of the upstairs rooms looked out onto Apple Square.In the evening, Apple Square, which had never been so crowded before, was full of girls who came to take a walk.Arm in arm, they walked slowly in the square one by one, and Yu peeked at the lighted windows on the second floor. They did this, of course, not to see the pewter pipes and harps, but simply to hear the music as soon as possible. Now and then they saw the neatly combed head of the harp and the shaggy head of the tin pipe passing by the open window.Later, the head stopped flickering, and the girls saw the little tin pipe resting its elbows on the window sill, looking into the distance and dreaming.Then the harp appeared by the window.The two of them started talking about something, looking around and waving their arms.

After this, they put their heads out of the window and bent down to look down.Then they each spat down from the second floor, and disappeared through the window again. It seemed like nothing interesting was going to happen anymore, yet the girls didn't want to get separated.At this moment, a tender, flute sound like a gurgling stream floated out of the window.The sound of the flute suddenly flows rhythmically, like water waves one after another, and sometimes jumps into the sky like water waves, chasing each other, colliding, and flipping in the air.The music cheered everyone up.The sound of the flute seems to be affecting everyone's hands and feet, making them want to dance.

The windows of every house opened silently.The crowd in the square stopped moving.Everyone remained motionless, trying not to miss a sound. At last the flute died away, but immediately the harp was played in the windows of a house opposite.The harp wants to repeat this new, hitherto unfamiliar melody.Somebody's fingers plucked the strings with little confidence.At first, the melody progressed quite neatly, then gradually weakened, and finally stopped completely, but the flute sound immediately came to hand over and continued to play.The harp sounded again, playing more confidently.Then came the second harp, in an adjoining room, and a third harp also joined the ensemble.The music grew louder and more cheerful.

Quanzhi came running with colors and brushes, wanting to hand them over to the little tin tube.He saw this unusual scene in front of the houses in the square.The whole square was full of girls listening to the wonderful concert.He didn't know it and heard it, and even jumped up with one foot, but seeing that his dance was not being noticed, he waved his hand and disappeared through the door.
