Chapter 28 Twenty-seven

rancher gold (4) Joe wanted to start reading the horror novel he had brought, so he left the gold, went to the bedroom, took out the book from the leather bag hanging on the coat rack, drew the curtains, and sat on the sofa to read. The red cover of the book says that this is a horror novel, but in the middle of the cover is a photo of a girl.The young girl is sitting embroidering in her quiet boudoir, and looking out of her window is the blue sky and white clouds.The beginning of the book introduces the childhood life of the girl named Hailin.She seemed to have grown up in a lonely environment. Although she had parents, they left her to do business far away, it is said that she went to the East.Fortunately, the girl is quiet, even a little cold, so she doesn't miss her parents very much.She lives alone in the old house and takes care of herself.After reading these few paragraphs, Joe took an interest in the book, for behind the tedious words he saw dimly the background he was familiar with.He thought, Hailin's house must have a partition wall, and there is an underground passage inside the partition wall.Such a girl would not live without a secret.The next step is to describe her daily life like a running account. It seems that her neighbors are all names that she can't remember. Later, it seems that even the name "Hailin" has become blurred and mottled, and the description has become confused.I don't know what the author of the book intends, and suddenly he praises freedom in a vulgar tone, like this, six or seven lines of the same sentence appear in succession:

"Ah! Free flight! Unattainable heights! what!fly freely!Unattainable height! ……………” Joe couldn't help laughing when he saw this.This laugh woke up the cats. As soon as the cats woke up, they began to have crazy copulation, screaming strangely on the bed, and making endless noises.Joe was afraid of being bitten by them, so he sat on the windowsill.On the wide ledge, Joe continued to read.In the second chapter, the girl Hai Lin suddenly disappeared, and the empty boudoir became lively.Because she didn't lock the door, all kinds of people came in to chat, small businesses, umbrella repairers, shoemakers, poultry raisers, etc. They brought in all kinds of smells, The original atmosphere of the boudoir was gone.But one day, the girl came home again.She had lost her right leg, and had become vulgar in appearance, with a ferocious expression on her face.She drove away her neighbors, closed the door of the old house, and began her life of contemplation.Here are a few more vulgar repetitive sentences:

"What happened in the distant past? We'll never know! What happened in the distant past?We never know! ……………” Joe couldn't laugh now.Some kind of desire similar to sexual desire began to rise in his body again. He jumped over the obstacle and came to his story kingdom. Under the aerial roots of the banyan trees in the square, he saw colorful kimonos fluttering in the wind. "Hailin! Hailin!" He yelled several times.He heard the book in his hand fall to the ground with a "snap". As King picked up the book from the floor, Jo saw him grinning to himself, his long hair shaking.He changed into a nightgown with a strange pattern.When he straightened up, Joe saw a black cat poking out of his dressing-gown.

"Only it understands my mind." King said, "I have seen the heroine in your book." "Is there really someone there?" "Because it's about the author's own life. She rested in my house overnight and went to the top of the mountain the next day. That's where she lost her leg. She dragged her broken leg and roared down the mountain. I can still vividly remember the appearance. You must dare not finish reading such a book. If you read the back, you will be dragged in and never come out again. It is a real ice cave, much deeper than the one on the top of the mountain .”

The kimono in front of Joe disappeared and turned into a vast expanse of whiteness.He wanted to discuss this story with Jin, but he felt that he had nothing to say. There was almost no plot or image in the book.However, Jin confirmed to him that Hai Lin is a real person. "How did the leg break?" Joe fell into boundless reverie again. He heard Jin's voice as if it came from the sandwich wall. It was very vague, and he didn't know what he was talking about. The room suddenly became very dark, the cats disappeared, and Jin disappeared, the curtains closed automatically, and a woman was crying outside the window.Joe groped into bed, and he quickly climbed the palace steps in the dark and entered the deserted garden.When he got there, he realized that the garden was not barren, and there were all kinds of animals making noise in it, as well as many people.Those silent people stood under the big trees with unpredictable expressions, as if they did not come from this world.Joe thought they might be ancient people who had lived in previous centuries.There was a boy standing under a cedar tree who looked particularly distressed, and when Joe asked him where he came from, he said he was from home.His accent is kind of weird, he's a foreigner.Joe asked him where his home was, and he said it was the East.

"But isn't this place the east?" Qiao looked at the earth-red palace wall and asked loudly. The young man looked at him blankly and did not answer his question.Only then did Joe notice that the young man was wearing a prison uniform, and he was still wearing shackles.Looking at those other people, it seems that they are also wearing prison uniforms.Jo suddenly felt very ashamed for no reason.The squirrels scurried between his legs. The squirrels belonged in the garden, but Joe didn't. "My wife, Maria, grows a lot of roses at home." Joe said this sentence as if arguing.
