Chapter 53 fifty two

Maria goes on a trip (6) But she couldn't sleep, and in the dark she heard Ulla talking to the old woman, as if they had been talking for a long time.It turned out that Ulla had been nearby all along. "You worry about her because she looks so weak, but in fact, she can fight jackals." It was Ula's voice. "It turned out that I couldn't make up my mind whether to let her come, but she was too persistent to let me do it. With her physique, there is nothing she can't stand." "Ula, did you cry today?" Grandma's voice became very dignified again, as if she was striking a match.

After a while, Maria smelled the smell of smoke again, and the smell of smoke actually brought her to the small building where the wind chime was hung. She also saw the exquisite books on the bookshelf in the corridor. There was Jo's handwriting, and it gave her a most queer feeling. "I didn't cry today." Ula's voice seemed a little timid, "Because Lila kept pestering me about her own affairs, I forgot about mine. Grandma, do you think there is hope for Lila?" "There is no hope. She must serve her parents-in-law to the grave. She is a wretch. Who told her to see that?"

Ulla began to sigh, and Maria heard her sighing in a thick, manly voice, and thought, how could Ulla suffer so much for other people's affairs?She thought of Lila again, of her lying on the cot and of her outside.It seems that the appearance of the people in Beidao is very different from that of people outside. They can change completely unrecognizable within a day.It's hard to tell if someone is 20 or 40, their age seems to vary depending on the situation they're in.Let's just talk about this old lady, she sounds exactly like a middle-aged woman at the moment, but Ulla said she was almost 100 years old.She touched her hand in the dark. It was smooth and there were no blood vessels protruding from the back of the hand.But when I saw her by the stream earlier, she was indeed very old.Could it be that time is turned back in this kind of "house"?

At this time, grandma struck another match, and Maria was startled by the face reflected in the firelight.It was the face of a brown bear, with a halo behind the bear's face, and inside the halo was the face of the old woman.That is to say, the bear face is real, and the human face is virtual.She still wanted to see what happened, but the fire went out. "Grandma, which side of your face did the squirrel bite?" Maria asked. "It's the right side. It doesn't matter, they can't bite badly, I have so much hair on my face." "Maria, let's go." Ula came over and grabbed Maria's hand, whispering to her. "Grandma is going to talk to the little hedgehog, and she doesn't want us to listen. Be careful, there is a stream here. Let's keep to the right, keep to the right, and we will be outside the house."

When Ulla said "keep to the right," Maria felt herself being pushed to the right by her.She asked Ulla if the grandmother, like the people in the stories, could live two lives at the same time.Jo's double life was on her mind when she asked that question.Ula said no, grandma actually only lived one kind of life, and that was the life in this house.When outsiders came into this room and talked to her, they thought they were influencing her life.In fact, her life will not be affected.Maria followed her up and down. She really wanted to talk to this woman about Joe, but somehow she couldn't explain it clearly. She felt that she and the old woman had a deep understanding of Joe. If you ask her, you will be ashamed of your ignorance.

They walked for a long time and have not walked out of that "house".Maria asked what was going on, and Ulla told her that she had already arrived at the hotel. "There is a door on your right, which is the hotel entrance." Maria fumbled to the right, but found nothing.But she came to her senses at once, and walked to the left, where a door opened and light came through. Kiyoshi was sitting at the big table smoking a cigarette with Maria facing his right cheek.This time, she found that his right face was not only expressionless like a zombie, but also showed signs of decay. The right earlobe seemed to have rotted into a hole and a bump.So Maria felt sorry for Ula, and felt that her life must be dark.

"You thought it was fake, but it's actually true." Qing said. Ula put her arms around his neck from behind, looking very intoxicated.Maria thought that what she saw at this moment must be the left side of the man's face. "The golden tortoise was really uncomfortable, so I changed all the water in the tank. Listen, they are quiet." "You are my heart." Ula kissed his left cheek. "I can't figure it out after much deliberation." Maria raised her voice to avoid embarrassment. "Is grandma's house next door to you? Is it just outside this door?" She pointed to the place she had just entered. that door.

"Yes. You can open the door and have a look." They stood up together and said. Maria walked over and opened the door, but what appeared in front of her was the bamboo forest of Beidao. A gust of wind blew, and she quickly closed the door again. The two who were staring at her sat down again as if relieved.Ulla told Maria softly: "Actually, you can't find her home if you look for it deliberately. More than half of the people in this village have never seen grandma, do you believe it? They all know that she lives behind a few weeping willows in the bamboo forest, but they can only be found occasionally. That house. When I took you there, I didn't know what to do, I just walked around, because I couldn't get familiar with that place, even if I went hundreds of times. "

"You think about that thing in your heart, and then that thing comes true? Like in a dream?"
