Chapter 60 fifty-nine

Edda's life on the run (5) Ada looked up there in bewilderment.Why did Joan say goodbye? But Joan didn't go anywhere, and at night she reappeared in the bar with her mother.Both mother and daughter are very serious, and even seem a little lonely.And the boss, wearing a tuxedo and a bow tie, looked radiant.Who would have thought that he would lie on the ground and listen to a book? In a dark corner of the lobby, there was a sound that made Ada's heart skip a beat.It was Reagan, and Reagan was calling him, and Ada could hear him clearly. "I want brandy," said the strange man who was sitting with his companion.

How could there be such a similar voice in the world. "Miss, please look to the right." He said again. Ada saw the white mouse on the wall. The white mouse was squatting on a deer's head and gnawing, the sound of its tiny teeth rubbing against the bone was clear and piercing.Ada stared blankly, and the menu in her hand fell to the ground.She felt that she had seen this kind of scene somewhere, it was many years ago, it was related to rain and sea water, and strange men.But not the man in front of him.The man's voice sounded in her ears: "Manila, Manila, the fields are flooded." When she turned around, the two men at the table were gone.

Joan came to her side, and she leaned in and said, "We're both in the same cave now. What an exciting night. You didn't go out and look at the sky, did you? It's purple right now." After finishing speaking, Joan bent down, picked up the menu and handed it to Ada, and then went to entertain the guests.Ada noticed that there was still that physical desire in her movements, like those snakes in the field.Where had her guest gone?There is really no trace left.Ada's heart throbbed a little. She thought again that she had finally escaped Mr. Reagan's clutches. Perhaps because of this, he spread his voice all over the world.There is such an infatuated man in the world.

She received many guests, all of whom were dead-faced and pretended to be listening to music.A button of a woman's jacket fell off. She bent down to touch the ground, and her hands were covered in dust.The man who came with her was also looking for her. The man shone a flashlight under the table for a long time, showing a very uneducated appearance.At this time, the guests next to him came over and formed a semicircle to watch.The man just got up on the ground like a cat. He crawled between the empty rows of the table, and people made way for him. "If a button is dropped, it is equivalent to disrupting the whole pattern."

The woman in the dark red checked coat whispered.Ada noticed her eyes light up with excitement. Ada was very uncomfortable, thinking of avoiding these people, she collected a plate from the table and went into the kitchen.The cook, who was working on the fire, stopped what he was doing when he heard Ida come in, and turned to face her.A buzz sounded in Ada's mind, isn't this Ali? "I didn't know you worked here, here," she stammered. "Are you new here? I heard that there is a new person here, but I haven't seen it until now. It's you! Just come here. It's not easy to adapt to work in this kind of place."

Ada was relieved.She is not Ali, she just looks very similar to her. "Oh, I was mistaken. But have you ever worked in a place like that?" "Rubber plantations, you say? Of course, fat people like me have worked there. The heat is unbearable. I also feel that there are too many snakes, and they all go into the refrigerator in the kitchen. I'd rather be in the I miss that place and don't want to be there myself. I have been out for more than 10 years." She looked at the kitchen door vigilantly, then walked over, closed the door tightly, turned around and sat on the small bench to peel potatoes.After a while there was a knock on the door, and she pouted at Eda and said, "Don't worry, the boss wants to come in. He added salt to the pie as soon as he came, saying he was trying to test the customer's sensitivity. Crazy guy. I think he's crazy to open this bar, don't you, Edda?"

"Maybe, I'm not sure." Ada listened to the boss's anxious shout. "Crazy, totally crazy! He wants to return to that barracks!!" The chef turned his fat body angrily, and waved a spatula threateningly towards the door. "Barracks?" "Yeah, isn't that the kind of person he came from? A well-trained soldier. Haven't you noticed that there is a barracks atmosphere in this bar? This is a place where personality is flattened." She put down the spatula, stood there angrily, and simply stopped working.Ada thought she looked like a child when she was angry, reminded her of a penguin.In the kitchen, the sound from outside could not be heard at all, it was a completely different situation.Someone was poking around the window. It was Joan's boyfriend. What did he want to come here to find out?He looked very haggard, standing under the yard lamp like a ghost.

"This kind of person should go to the barracks for military training." The chef said. Ada finally understood that Mr. Reagan was inescapable.In this strange bar far from the farm, Ada's moods are changing.She didn't want to go back to the farm, what she wanted was to go back to her hometown, and the hometown she imagined was a vague shadow.In fact, she didn't want to take a train back there, she wanted to take a shortcut, and the shortcut was the black hole in the bar that Joan had told her about. One day, when the music resounded throughout the bar, she got into such a black hole under the guidance of Joan.At that time she and she were standing in the backyard talking, there was no rain, there was a gust of cool wind blowing in the air, the moon looked wet, and there was someone whistling frivolously by the locust tree, playing that kind of vulgar love song.Suddenly, Joan pressed hard on her shoulder with her hand, and her foot slipped, and she fell into the hole together with Joan.
