Chapter 12 eleven

Mr Reagan (3) "If Mr. Reagan can't wake up for a long time, you and I will be liberated!" The driver didn't mind Ali's attitude and yelled. "When I went home with him last night, it was like walking through the precipice of death!" Ali avoided the noisy young man in disgust, and went into the house to the kitchen.She looked into the distance from the open door of the kitchen and saw the workers working under the sun, all of them were wearing overalls and straw hats, and their bodies were tightly wrapped.Ali noticed that the little girl Ada, who came here two years ago, had a tanned face.Ali knows Reagan

As for Ada's thoughts, she was like an old crocodile in the river, who knew exactly what was happening on the farm.Ali's attitude towards her master is contradictory, both defending him and dissatisfied with him.Sometimes she was so dissatisfied that she almost left him.Last year when the coconuts were ripening, a not-so-young woman with strange clothes came to Reagan's house.Reagan stayed with this black, shadowy woman for a week, and then she suddenly disappeared.Reagan sent her away in the middle of the night when no one was there. Ali heard the car ringing, and it was Reagan who drove by himself.After the woman in black left, Reagan's mood became much more positive. He became obsessed with fishing at night, and occasionally he would fish all night and only go home in the morning.Ali estimated that the woman in black would not come again, and she also estimated that Ada was the owner's heart disease, because she was the only stranger in the whole farm, and her every move could not be predicted by the owner, and it was because of this that the owner's heart was affected. Heart.Why did he go fishing?Isn't it because that girl likes to sneak around at night?Ali usually walks around at night when she can't sleep. She has met Ida several times, sometimes with her female companion, sometimes alone.Each time Ada greeted her vaguely and dazedly, referring to her as "Mum."She walked very slowly, stumbling, as if she was looking for something on those small paths, and she was still muttering.If the female companion is with her, she will also help her find it.Sometimes, in such a dark night, only animals could see, but Ida could.Her eyes actually glowed green. Ali saw it twice, and was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth.She kept it to herself and never told Reagan.

"What is Ada looking for outside?" Ali stopped her on the road and asked. "Looking for the diamond ring that was lost during the day, Mom." "Does Ada have a diamond ring?" "Yes, I remember it clearly. It must have slipped off my finger." Ali thought that the girl must have smelled something, and her hound-like sense of smell led her to follow it in the dark night.Ali's wandering youth appeared in her mind, and she couldn't help but secretly smiled.She sighed: "The times are developing." Ada moved like a snake, and she disappeared into the bushes.Her female companion stood in the middle of the road and softly called: "Ada! Ada!" Her voice was actually a bit miserable.

In the upstairs room, Reagan was still asleep, the curtains were drawn tightly, and it seemed that it was always night in the bedroom. Lying on the bed in the single apartment, Ada mumbled to her female companion: "In my hometown, the torrential rain washed away hundreds of adobe houses...the banana leaves were knocked to the ground by the rain. It wasn't rain...like, like a flood came down from the sky. No one could hide Come on, do you understand?" "I think I understand. How did you escape?" asked the companion. "Me? I didn't want to live, so I couldn't die instead. We have to go through this kind of test every year... I won't work here for the rest of my life, I still want to go back, the sun here will completely tan me dissolve..."

When the female companion continued to talk to Ada, she suddenly found that Ada had fallen asleep.The scent of coconut poured into the bedroom from the window, but the female companion saw the disgusted expression on Ada's sleeping expression. "Mr. Reagan has been asleep for two days," said the driver. "Shall we call the doctor?" "Nonsense. He also asked me to serve him two meals in bed. He just didn't want to wake up. Anyone has the right to do that." Ali mused as she spoke. Ali met Vincent on her way into town.She saw him walking alone, the sun made him dizzy, he seemed to be suffering from heat stroke, he walked a few steps and then stopped to catch his breath.

"Sir, do you need help?" "My name is Vincent, and I'm a friend of your boss. How is your boss, Regan?" He seemed undecided whether to go any further, his eyes wandered, and Ali thought he was looking for a place to sit down. "Mr. Reagan is not sick." "Of course not. How could he be ill? His affairs are all his own decisions." "May I go back and call a car to pick you up? You look tired."
