Chapter 375: First Meeting with Malena
Lu Cheng's musical instrument skills have reached level 6, which is already a very high professional level. Coupled with the songs that have stood the test of time, he directly attracted a large number of listeners and received a lot of rewards.
After Lu Cheng finished playing a song, Jaina quickly ran back to the hotel, found a box of biscuits, put all the money given by the audience into it, and placed the box in front of Lu Cheng.
Many audiences were shouting, asking Lu Cheng to play another song. Lu Cheng did not refuse and sang another song "The Sound of Silence", which immediately brought the surrounding atmosphere into a quiet jungle, and the noisy streets also quieted down unconsciously.
No one around dared to make any sound, for fear of disturbing the wonderful performance.
Even people who don't understand music can be moved by the emotions in the music and their hearts can calm down.
Good music can soothe a restless heart and heal the wounds of the soul.
When the instrument skills reach level six, it is no longer just about perfect technical performance. It is also necessary to pour emotion into the music, express your emotions through music, infect the people around you, and resonate with people deep in their hearts.
After the two songs were played, more people gathered around, shouting for Lu Cheng to play another game, and many people came forward to give him tips.
Seeing this, Lu Cheng smiled and said, "Everyone, thank you for your support. In fact, I am a Chinese musician, and I am better at playing Chinese instruments. If you want to listen, I can continue."
As he spoke, Lu Cheng returned to the hotel. When he came out, the metal flute in his hand had turned into a Chinese bamboo flute.
Everyone looked at the instrument in Lu Cheng's hand, waiting for Lu Cheng to perform.
It is said that a flute lasts for ten years and a Xiao lasts for a hundred years, a pipa lasts for a thousand years and a zheng lasts for ten thousand years. An erhu lasts for a lifetime, and a suona ends the show when it sounds.
If I really take out the erhu to play a song, I guess these foreigners won't understand it.
Lu Cheng took out his bamboo flute and started singing the song "Floating Light", which gave people the feeling of "the boat has passed through thousands of mountains".
The ethereal sound and beautiful melody, played with superb skills by Lu Cheng, instantly immerse people in it.
After the song ended, warm applause rang out again. However, Lu Cheng put away his flute, bowed to the people around him, and then returned to the hotel.
He is not a professional street performer who makes a living, so he performs when he wants to and stops when he wants to.
When Jaina saw Lu Cheng turn around and leave, she quickly took the biscuit box with her, picked up a chair and followed him.
When they returned to the hotel, Gianna couldn't wait to hand the cookie box to Lu Cheng: "Mr. Musician, this is your tip. I just checked and it's at least 300 lire, enough for you to stay in our hotel for several days."
"Thank you, Miss Gianna."
"You're welcome. Your performance is wonderful. I've never heard such wonderful music before. Can you tell me the names of those songs?"
"sure……"
After briefly chatting with the Italian girl for a while, Lu Cheng closed the door and put his previous income into the storage space.
More than three hundred lire is equivalent to the monthly income of many ordinary workers in Sicily, but Lu Cheng did not care too much about it. It was just a small amount of money.
The street performance just now was, of course, not just to earn a few hundred lire, but also to take this opportunity to observe the local situation, culture, etc.
Most of those who just gave tips were women, and very few men were willing to pay for Lu Cheng's performance.
Moreover, even though Lu Cheng had demonstrated superb skills, those men still looked at him strangely.
It is indeed difficult for people with Asian faces to make a living here.
Therefore, Lu Cheng planned to pinch a face for himself and change his image first.
After closing the doors and windows and sitting on the bed, Lu Cheng took out a tablet computer, called up some handsome European and American male stars for reference, and combined the characteristics of several of the most handsome European and American male stars to create a new face.
After Lu Cheng finished shaping his face, the system automatically made fine adjustments, modifying some inharmonious and unnatural parts, making the whole face look as if it was a pure and natural, perfect creation of God.
Even though it was a backup second face, Lu Cheng tried to make it as perfect as possible. Being handsome is a lifelong thing.
After seeing the effect, Lu Cheng observed it carefully and found that this new face was not tough enough and was somewhat like a piece of fresh meat, so he made some modifications again. Finally, after ensuring that it was handsome enough and tough enough, he clicked OK.
After taking a look at the results, the overall look is somewhat similar to Tom Cruise, but also has some characteristics of Schwarzenegger and others.
Afterwards, Lu Cheng thought for a moment and arranged a new identity for himself, simply naming himself "Ezio Auditore da Firenze". His identity was the son of a farmer who wandered to Sicily because of bankruptcy.
Then, Lu Cheng walked to the mirror, and with a thought, his entire appearance changed instantly. His eye sockets became deeper. His eyes turned azure blue, his hair turned brown, and his skin color changed a little. He looked like a completely Westerner.
There is not much change in figure, and the clothes she wears still fit her very well.
Standing in front of the mirror and looking carefully, he could hardly find any similarities with the previous Lu Cheng.
Then, Lu Cheng's mind moved and he switched back to his original appearance.
The next morning, Lu Cheng walked out of the hotel, went around a hidden alley, and when he came out again, he had changed into a second face.
After changing into a new face, when I walk on the street, although I am still very conspicuous, I no longer attract strange looks like before.
Afterwards, Lu Cheng took a bus south along the coast and arrived in Syracuse, 160 kilometers away, in the afternoon.
After arriving in the city, Lu Cheng had a simple meal and then walked around the street. He soon heard the name of Malena from the discussions of people on the street.
"I bet that bitch Malena has a lot of lovers. Every time she walks down the street, the men look at her as if they've stripped her naked."
"That's right. A woman who dresses so coquettishly and flaunts herself in public every day, isn't it just to attract the attention of those men? I think she is not as good as Mr. Baron's lover Gina. Mr. Baron only sleeps with Gina once a week and then returns to his farm."
"Yes, Malena is a slut. Look, here comes the slut..."
At this moment, the surrounding noises suddenly quieted down, and everyone looked towards the street not far away, only to see a tall, curvy woman walking towards them.
The woman had big wavy black hair that fell behind her, and she was wearing a white jumpsuit with a shirt collar. The hem of the skirt just reached her knees. The entire skirt wrapped around her body, yet showed off her figure perfectly.
When she walked down this street, the women's eyes were full of jealousy and resentment, while the men's eyes were full of greed and desire.
Every gentleman passing by would take off his hat and greet warmly like a gentleman.
Malena seemed to have gotten used to it all. She ignored all the strange looks and just nodded politely to those who greeted her.
"Look, Marlena went to the employment agency again. I bet she'll come back empty-handed today and won't be able to find any job."
"That's right. If any family dares to hire this slut to work, their mistress will definitely explode."
"Such a slut should get out of Sicily and starve to death."
When faced with beautiful things that they cannot get, people always want to destroy them. If they cannot get it, it is best not to let others get it.
