Thirteen Bass

Chapter 13 [13] Salzburg

As a paradise for ski lovers, Salzburg should have fewer tourists in summer.However, because the nearby lakeside town Hallstatt suddenly became popular on the Internet and was repeatedly rated as the most beautiful town in the world, Salzburg in the off-season was also crowded with the naked eye.

Qi Sinian apparently did not expect that there would be so many tourists in Salzburg, which has always been aloof from the world, and the car was blocked in the middle of the road before it reached the entrance of the city.

Salzburg is the oldest city in Austria. Most of the roads in the city were preserved in the Middle Ages and are not suitable for driving.Qi Sinian simply parked the car outside the city, and walked slowly along the foot of the mountain with Bai Lang.

When he got out of the car, Bai Lang heard a piece of crisp music. He followed the direction as if in the past, and saw that the city was full of square blue-roofed Baroque buildings, stacked from the foot of the city wall to the castle on the top of the mountain.

A small meandering river surrounds the city, leading to distant mountains. For a moment, time seems to freeze in this small town, making it hard to tell whether this is modern times or the once glorious empire more than 200 years ago.

"Teacher lives on Mount Ryan, we will go up the mountain later, so bring your coat." Qi Sinian said.

Bai Lang really felt a chill, so he obediently put on the windbreaker and said, "It's getting colder here."

The two walked into the city side by side.The ding-ding-dong-dong indistinct music didn't stop. Instead, as the distance became clearer and clearer, several familiar romantic melodies immediately aroused the ptsd in Bai Lang's bones: "It really is Mozart."

"The lunch break bell of the Mozarteum Music University has not changed for 200 years." Qi Sinian smiled, with a look of nostalgia in his eyes, "This is telling everyone to put down their work and enjoy the day to the fullest." Hottest time."

Sure enough, as the sound of music continued to reverberate in the city, more and more people appeared on the streets. They sat on the steps of the square, or by the fountain pool, bathed in the sun, chatted, fed the pigeons, and had a leisurely lunch. .

Qi Sinian bought a cup of coffee for Bai Lang from a roadside coffee shop, and handed him a beautiful butterfly cake.The two imitated the locals and sat by the fountain pool in the center of the square to eat.Bai Lang took a bite, and the Butterfly Cake had a faint aroma of cinnamon and oranges, and it was so crispy that it fell apart in one bite.

"It's delicious!" Bai Lang's eyes lit up, he took another bite, and exclaimed, "This is really the best butterfly cake I've ever eaten!"

Qi Sinian looked at him with puffed cheeks, and there was a gentle smile in his eyes: "Although this store is unremarkable, it is very famous in the local area. The butterfly cakes and apple rolls are especially delicious."

Salzburg is much colder than Vienna. Qi Sinian is wearing a dark coffee trench coat, slacks and leather shoes. His tall figure fully supports the clothes. Captured many eyes.

Looking at Qi Sinian's graceful jawline and clean side face, Bai Lang said again: "It's really delicious."

Qi Sinian also took a sip, and said with a calm expression: "It still tastes the same. When I was a child, the biggest motivation for practicing the piano every day was to tell myself that when I finish a set of accompaniment, the time will be just right to buy freshly baked butterfly cakes." .”

Bai Lang was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Did you really live in Salzburg when you were young? I saw some interviews mentioned it, and some said that you grew up in Berlin."

Qi Sinian said: "Before I was ten years old, I was in Switzerland. I started to learn piano from my teacher when I was ten years old, and then I lived here. I studied in Salzburg in middle school, and I didn't go to Berlin until I went to university."

Speaking of which, Bai Lang was a little surprised that Salzburg was actually the place where Qi Sinian grew up when he was a teenager. When he looked around again, he felt that every brick and tree around him seemed to be covered with filters, and he even jumped on the ground. Pigeons that are worn look extra cute.

Bai Lang scattered the crumbs of butterfly crisps in front of him, attracting a flock of pigeons in a blink of an eye.European pigeons are all fat and healthy, like balloons, circling around his feet in groups.

Bai Lang looked interesting, staring at them while eating.After finishing the Butterfly Cakes, I ran to a small shop nearby to buy corn kernels and threw them for fun.

After feeding the pigeons for a while, he looked up and saw Qi Sinian talking to a little girl by the side of the road.The girl was holding a bucket of flowers in her hand, and there were a few colorful balloons tied behind her, which seemed to be selling to him.

Bai Lang walked over slowly and heard them speaking German.The girl looked to be only seven or eight years old, with blond curly hair, and she was really pretty and cute. Looking up at Qi Sinian with her small face up, she giggled.

Qi Sinian did not show the slightest bit of impatience, but lowered his head and patted her head, took out a banknote and handed it over.The girl took the money, and for some reason, she blushed suddenly. After thinking for a while, she ran into a nearby room at high speed. After a while, she ran out again like flying, holding a bouquet of fresh and tender roses, stuffed Into Qi Sinian's arms.She ran furiously, and the string of balloons following her was like a colorful tail.

A helpless smile appeared on Qi Sinian's face, he finally accepted the bouquet, walked back to Bai Lang, and said, "The little girl is very cute."

"Sure enough, to be handsome is to please girls." Bai Lang looked at the girl running happily not far away, smiled, and said, "I don't even understand what you're saying."

Qi Sinian turned to look at him, seeming to be amused: "She said, let me buy you flowers."

"Ah?" Bai Lang was stunned when he heard the words, and immediately looked at Qi Sinian's expression, "Are you serious? Chief, don't lie to me just because I don't speak German."

Qi Sinian's tone was a little helpless: "Really. She said that the pigeons here are her good friends, thank you for feeding them. How about I accompany you to ask her again?"

Bai Lang shook his head: "I don't want it."

He looked at the happy little girl in the middle of the square again. She was squatting on the ground and gently stroking the pigeon's feathers. She might have noticed Bai Lang's gaze and smiled brightly at him.

Bai Lang felt happy for no reason, and went to look at the roses that Qi Sinian kept by his side: "This is what you said, this flower is mine."

Qi Sinian picked up the bouquet and put it in Bai Lang's hands: "It's yours."

Bai Lang lowered his head, and saw the rose-pink petals sparkling with crystal clear water droplets, shining brightly under the sunlight.

Qi Sinian told him: "This flower is called Princess Sissi, and it is the favorite rose of the Austrians."

Bai Lang noticed that there were girls around him raising their mobile phones to secretly take pictures of himself, so he couldn't help but feel embarrassed, and asked him softly, "The pink one, is it a bit like that?"

Qi Sinian smiled: "Which one? You know, my Chinese is not good."

"..." Bai Lang said dissatisfiedly, "I don't think your Chinese is not good."

"No." Qi Sinian's eyes were serious and gentle, "I match you very well."
