Seeing the old lady so agitated, Zhao Yu was curious. Something must have happened to the girl prodigy.
So Zhao Yu tried to persuade the old lady, saying that what he wanted to know was very important and that he hoped the old lady would cooperate with the investigation. He even indirectly threatened her, saying that if she didn't cooperate now, then when her daughter came, he would have to ask her personally!
The old lady was very worried that her daughter would hear the word "piano." After some consideration, she could only tell Zhao Yu the truth.
Regarding the girl prodigy's sudden withdrawal from the competition, Zhao Yu had many guesses. But after listening to the old lady's story, he realized that the situation was far more complicated than he had imagined!
"That's right, my daughter Li Dan used to play the piano, and she was a well-known piano prodigy in Fengling County!" As the old lady spoke, her expression was unusually heavy. "We only had one precious daughter. For our child, her father and I gave everything we had to her. In order for her to come to the capital to learn piano, we even sold our house in our hometown!
"My daughter was very sensible. She knew that her father and I worked very hard, so she worked harder than anyone else. No matter if it was a county competition, a city competition, or even a provincial competition, she won all of them.
"At that time, even though our family was poor, we could see hope in Dandan, so we were quite happy. Her father was full of confidence, and thought that Dandan had a bright future. She would definitely bring honor to her ancestors, and be much better than those with sons! But … "
At this point, the elder's hand suddenly trembled. She said painfully, "But, at that year's Qinshan Piano Competition, our family's dreams were all shattered!"
"Auntie, are you talking about the tenth Qinshan Piano Competition? It was held at Second High? "To confirm the information, Zhao Yu asked.
"Yes! Yes! More accurately, it was the tenth Qinshan High School Piano Competition! That competition, I … I will never forget it for the rest of my life! " The old lady's eyes were filled with tears. Perhaps she was too excited, she covered her stomach with her hands. After a long pause, she continued, "Although it's just a city-level piano competition, this competition is very important. It means a lot to our Dandan!
"Those who are able to participate in this year's competition are all high school graduates. If the contestants can get a good ranking in the competition, they may be selected by some art universities or provincial normal universities in advance. This is an excellent platform for these piano students!
"If our Dandan can enter the finals, it will definitely save our family a lot of money when it comes to going to university in the future. So, during that competition, the child was very nervous. She wanted to get a good ranking and fight for me and her father!
"Originally, the competition went very smoothly. The qualifiers, the preliminaries, and the preliminaries, Dandan overcame all obstacles and revealed her outstanding strength early on. At that time, some teachers even thought that with Dandan's ability, not to mention fighting her way into the finals, it wasn't impossible for her to win the championship!
"Very quickly, our Dandan got third place in the preliminaries and entered the finals. At that time, our family was very happy. If Dandan performed at her normal level in the finals, then she would definitely be admitted to the art university!
"But our Dandan was not satisfied. She thought that the gap between her and the first two in the preliminaries was not big, so she wanted to increase the difficulty of the optional piece in the finals to surpass them!
"In the end … sigh!" The old lady lowered her head helplessly. Tears were already dripping onto her old face.
At that time, Zhao Yu could not say anything more, so he waited patiently. When the old lady's emotions had calmed down a little, she continued to speak.
"To make the competition fair, during the finals, all the contestants used the same piano. In order to let the contestants familiarize themselves with the piano, the organizing committee arranged time for each contestant to practice.
"Sigh …" The old lady sighed again, "The other contestants are all from the city and have some connections with the organizing committee, so they all chose the best time to practice. As for our family, we had no connections, so we were pushed to the last place. We could only practice at eight at night. "
"We thought, eight at night then. It's not too late anyway, and the last place had no time limit, so we could practice as long as we wanted. The piece that Dandan had chosen was indeed a little lacking, so we could practice more.
"But who knew that something went wrong during the day. Our practice time was squeezed to 9 o 'clock at night. Although Dandan's father tried to reason with the leaders, the finals would start the next day. His reasoning was meaningless.
"We had no choice, so we could only choose to wait. In the end, it was almost nine thirty when the child finally started practicing.
"At that time, everyone had left, and there were only the three of us in the hall. Dandan's mental fortitude was very good, so she was not affected at all. She was very focused on practicing!
"But … but …" The old lady's body trembled violently, and she continued with great difficulty, "At that time, her father and I were listening in the audience. The song that the child was playing was very nice, and we were both intoxicated by it. Suddenly, we heard Dandan scream!"
"When her father and I ran up to the stage in a hurry, we saw that the child was clenching her right hand, and the blood could not stop flowing. The child's clothes were dyed red! There was blood everywhere on the piano and on the floor! "
"What?!"
Zhao Yu was extremely engrossed in the story, and he suddenly exclaimed. He had never expected such a thing to happen!
"The child was terrified, and looked at us in horror. Her father and I were even more frightened, "the old lady continued with great difficulty," We didn't know what had happened to the child. Seeing that the child's hand was bleeding, we quickly took Dandan to the hospital!
"That day, there was no one inside or outside the hall, and we couldn't even find anyone to help. Also, we couldn't find a taxi on the road. In the end, it was a kind truck driver who sent us to the hospital.
"After the doctor examined my child, he said that the child's middle finger was cut by a sharp object. Not only was the tendon and part of the joint injured, but a small part of the finger was also cut off! It was best to find the small part of the finger and reattach it, or else the child's finger might be permanently disabled! "
"Her father and I have never encountered such a thing before. We were all dumbfounded! Hearing that the doctor asked them to find half of the finger, her father quickly returned to the hall to look for it.
