Chapter 57 fifty six

Edda's fugitive life (2) Because the boss was calling downstairs, their mother and daughter hurried downstairs. Ada returned to the room and wanted to continue to sleep, but when she closed her eyes, she saw mudslides, and her body was still suspended.So she sat up, looked out of the window, and saw the silent, deserted street.Ada thought, she stayed in such a dead corner of the city, but she still often had the urge to sneak around like a snake.Especially at night, when those whispering customers arrive in twos and threes.There was a male customer who was a friend of the boss. He seldom drank. When his girlfriend was drinking, he looked at her appreciatively and advised her to drink more.Girlfriends often blushed and pointed to the wine glass with a finger, asking him to look inside.At such times, he would turn around and carefully look back and forth at the wine glass.This man was very similar to the vegetable farmer who lived next to the rainforest in her hometown. Maybe he really was the vegetable farmer, but he looked too young.

Ada thought sadly that she had finally escaped Mr. Reagan's clutches.If she was still on the farm, she would be busy working in a rubber plantation at the moment.For a long time, she watched Mr. Reagan expand his territory, and she felt unreasonable anger in her heart.She thinks he is a demon king who wants to turn everything into nothing.In the fog of the night, when the faint moonlight struggled to break through the clouds, Ada felt her desire for Mr. Reagan, and maybe love.They were entangled, and she was willing to vanish into nothingness herself, into nothingness with this man. And now, she hid in this bar, she felt that Mr. Reagan could not find this place.As she walked among whispering customers, Ada would hallucinate as if the floating earth of the farm was beneath her feet. "Ada!" the boss called to her, for there was a crowd at the gate.

This group of customers all held straw hats and smelled of sea water and the sun.They didn't speak, and sat down on the bar one after another in silence, and then began to drink one cup after another.One of their female guests was Ada's neighbor in the farm apartment, and Ada was quite taken aback at the sight of her. "Can he find it anywhere?" Ada said to the guest. "Yeah, this is fate." She saw Joan standing opposite, Joan's pale face was expressionless, maybe she was listening to music.Her mother was a little further away, also turning her face to this side.Both mother and daughter were wearing white jackets, a little out of place in the dusty, old, decadent setting.Did the two of them notice these "hunters"?Were they uneasy about their presence?Why does the mother have a look of joy on her face?For the first time in many days, Ada smelled the sunshine, and she couldn't help but took a few deep breaths.As she took a deep breath, she caught a glimpse of the neighbor's smile.Ada immediately blushed.

Joan and her mother both walked away, but not very far.At the end of the hall, at the landing of the stairs, the two of them still turned their gazes to Ada's side. Ada walked out the back door and stood in the small courtyard, a drop of rain fell on her forehead.Looking down, there are also white mice jumping on the cobbled ground.The location of the bar is almost on the outskirts of the city, so customers must have traveled a long way to get here.Ada imagined the situation of these people traveling in the dark, imagining the longing in their hearts, and couldn't help being moved.She suddenly thought, when the mudslide happened, if there was such a bar, maybe people would not escape outside, right?Mud frogs are abundant in my hometown, and the walls of bars must be covered with specimens of mud frogs.The people in the bar must not hear the roar of the mudslide outside, they only have the habit of listening inward, when the mudslide comes, maybe they are talking with their eyes across the table in twos and threes.

"Eda." It's Joan.Two more drops of rain fell on Ida's face. "Ada," she said again. "Oh, Joan, how are you feeling today?" "I feel like, I want to find a black hole to drill into and squat in it to think about things. There are many such black holes in our bar, and you will find out slowly." The girl's face could not be seen clearly in the darkness, and her hoarse voice had a vicissitudes of life.Ada remembered her amazing beauty. "Do you have a lover?" Ada asked. "Yes. But we seldom date, because I can't go out. Ah, I haven't been out for more than two years. He is my classmate. In the evening, he is standing on the opposite street waiting for me to go out. But I don't want to go out, I'd rather be in the shop. It's not that I don't miss him, but because I know that as soon as I step out of the 'Green Jade', the disillusionment will overwhelm me. I'm in the shop I'm helping daddy in the house and thinking how nice it would be to have someone waiting for me outside and I could almost hear him pacing up and down the sidewalk. A black hole goes in."

Ada stretched out her hand and held the girl's cold hand. She felt sorry for her. "But my lover has become my enemy," said Ida. "How strange, I can't imagine what kind of scene it is." "That's--that's the same man in one, but against him. Even standing here, I can see the crows on the farm."
