Chapter 62 sixty one

Reagan's confusion (1) "Life without Ada was both a nightmare and a liberation," thought Reagan.He stood in the shallow water area of ​​the bay, looking at the gray-green pulsating sea water, feeling the charm of the sea's fullness and power.Did the drowning woman worker a year ago die only because she had no time to remove her soaked, heavy coat?As he went ashore, he made various guesses about this question. The 50-year-old Reagan has achieved great success in his career, and his rubber plantation has continued to make profits, which allows him to use the surrounding Several large farms were bought and turned into rubber plantations.Over the years, Reagan himself gradually withdrew from the drudgery of day-to-day work, delegating affairs to an able manager.The manager of unknown nationality named Jin Xia is an excellent manager, he sorts out all the affairs without saying a word, and more importantly, every step in the direction of his development Chess is all about the future.One night, Reagan dreamed that this oriental man had mastered the secret of turning stones into gold. He took a stick with gemstones inlaid on its head, and put a touch on the land he was standing on, and the land belonged to Reagan.Reagan stared long into his slender, sly eyes, and saw in them desire that was not desire, but, in fact, a variant of nothingness.

"Jin Xia, do you think Ada will come back?" Reagan was sitting by the sea when he said this. "She didn't leave at all. It's just a matter of perspective, you should know." Jin Xia's slender body was like a shadow rising from the sea, and it took a while for Reagan to figure out what he said, and it was because of this that Reagan fell in love with him at the beginning.Jin Xia and his family have been living in an old house halfway up the mountain, which he chose by himself.He and his wife, plus their two sons, were always solitary and did not form close relationships with the workers.Sometimes, the solitary nature of their family even frightened Reagan, worrying that they might have evil ideas.But then he would blame himself for being cranky.In fact, Jin Xia is his only confidant on the farm, and he has poured out all his worries to him.At that time, Jin Xia smoked a cigarette and rarely interrupted.Reagan wasn't sure he wanted to listen, but he did.For example, when he mentioned Ada just now, Jin Xia immediately expressed a unique opinion.

"Is your son going to school up north in the fall?" Reagan asked. "Yeah, they are really reluctant to leave the farm!" "Oh?" "The two of them made up their minds to never leave the farm in the future." Jin Xia took a puff of cigarette, and his tone became exaggerated. Across the banana forest is the hillside. Jinxia's gray wooden house is built under a big banyan tree, which looks like a patron saint with a ferocious face. Those huge air roots hang in the air, showing a domineering style.Reagan knew that the wooden house had been infested by termites and was now a dilapidated building.But Jin Xia's family didn't care about it.Maybe they didn't have long-term plans.Jin Xia's wife has a nice name, a name that Reagan has difficulty pronouncing.At the moment she is taking the quilt outside to dry, probably because the room is too humid.She nodded condescendingly to Reagan as a greeting.

"Living on the hillside, you must know everything about the whole farm," Reagan joked. "The actual situation is that our family has become outsiders." Jin Xia knocked on the table anxiously and said, "Is this because our family is too lacking in ambition?" Reagan could not help jumping up in surprise when he heard the roar of a suppressed beast in the back room. "Do you have wolves?!" He felt his knees shaking. "Yeah," Jin Xia replied with a vacant expression, "it was raised by the sons. They felt that living in this kind of place was too pretentious, and they wanted to do something exciting. Then they got the little wolf back. You Don't be nervous, the wolf is chained firmly. Sometimes I worry about their hobbies, I am their father after all. Fortunately, I am going to the north soon..."

He raised a palm in the air as if to make a gesture, but he couldn't make a gesture with that palm, and stayed in the air awkwardly.He didn't look like a "father" at all, but like a bachelor. Reagan walked to the back room, but the two children rushed out together and blocked him from the room.Reagan glanced at it and saw that the windows were all covered with black cloth, and nothing could be seen in the room. "Uncle, there is nothing in the room!" They said in unison. Both boys were dressed in rags and their faces were dirty, unlike children in this kind of family.Reagan noticed that they had the same sly eyes as his father's.At this moment, the children's mother entered the room, and she whispered something to the children, so the two children looked at Reagan with resentment, as if they were asking why he came here to disrupt their lives.

Jin Xia was still sitting at the table, as if nothing had happened. "These are uneducated children," he said, more like showing off than sorry. When the wind blows, the wooden walls of the house creak, and one can even feel the house tilting in the wind.Jin Xia closed her eyes slightly, intoxicated by the ominous voice, but the dark and short wife seemed to have heard nothing. The wolf fell silent, but the two children cried in the back room.
