Chapter 68 sixty seven

vincent goes to casino (1) In the room on the tall floor, Vincent imagined that the Chinese woman was telling him that he should go to Las Vegas to find out about his wife Lisa.The Chinese woman sat there with her back to him, and didn't speak, but Vincent heard her thoughts, and those thoughts were to be translated into words by him, so he changed her thoughts at this moment into such a sentence. Lisa has completely forgotten where she was born.She spoke incoherently about a lawn where a row of retired grandmas were sitting in wicker chairs on the lawn, some were reading newspapers, some were taking a nap.In the distance, a long snake prowled through the tall grass.One

The silver-haired grandmother saw the snake, she didn't get up, but covered her face with a newspaper and lay in the wicker chair... "But you didn't mention the most important facility in the casino." Vincent couldn't help interjecting. "Slot machine?" Lisa raised her eyebrows, showing a fierce look, "I have seen many in the 'Valley of Death'. If you go there, you will see the bloody dusk. I will not go with you, because if I go I can't come back. Poor Vincent, I'm really worried about letting you go there." But it was the racetrack that Vincent had in mind.He didn't take Lisa's prophecy to heart.Didn't she come out from there?Didn't you live outside for decades?Vincent has always envied his wife's origin, which he considered a true legend.He hadn't told Lisa this before, and she would have lost her temper if she had heard him say that.Vincent only passed through Las Vegas once on the train, but he never stopped in the city.Every night, in his dreams, he saw the rosy sky against which the dome of the casino looked vague, unreal.On the hillside not far away, the cathedral rang the bell.There was never anyone in his dreams, he felt that the activities in the casino had nothing to do with people.When he had first met Lisa, he had been amazed by the boundless desire that was at work in her, and he had taken so much pleasure in it.For years, he had wanted to discuss the source of her vitality, but she kept it secret.

"I only remember the lawn, which is an apartment for the elderly." Lisa said stubbornly. "Other things are not important, just like floating clouds. My memory is very selective." "So, you think those casinos are empty too?" "Yes. Although it was full of people, it was actually empty." Vincent's conversation with Lisa was fruitless, which was to be expected.His company was still growing, and with an incredible stroke of luck, he hired some more assistants and grew two subsidiaries.He asked Lisa if he should retire.Lisa said that people like him can't quit, and should keep working until the end.He thought about what she said, and felt that it was correct. She was always right, just like his signpost.When she said that "although it was full of people, it was actually empty," Vincent felt like crying.

Recently, Lisa has undergone great changes. She wanders around in dirty dresses, as if she has lost her sense of the people around her.But at night, she didn't go out any more, and she slept very deeply.In the middle of the night, Vincent came home from the bar on the street and went into the bedroom.In the dark, he felt the air in the bedroom humming, so urgent and tense, it was almost like an air-raid siren.He sat on the bed, collected himself, and grabbed Lisa's hand, which was sleeping soundly. The situation remained unchanged.He said in his heart: "Lisa, Lisa, how powerful you are." At this time Lisa suddenly said to him clearly in the dark: "Vincent, you don't want to cross that small bridge in the future, You fell into the creek from that bridge. The water is very shallow, your head is resting on a protruding rock, and only your clothes are wet." Vincent turned on the light and found that Lisa was still dreaming middle.She no longer has to move her body to find those old stories, now she lives there, day and night.And he still has to get up at night to look around until he is exhausted.What kind of miracle is a woman, a woman? Does her birth background in Las Vegas determine everything about her?Sometimes, Vincent sees his relationship with her as a competitor in a race, a rival in a race, and this idea even affects his heart. Recently, the feeling of suffocation has become more and more obvious.However, he already knew in his heart that no matter how hard he ran, he could not catch up with his wife who was sleeping at home.He is just a shadow in the street lights, but she is a rock in history.But how attached she was to him!for what?She didn't care about the business of the "Guli" clothing company, but Vincent always felt that the prosperity of this company was directly related to the business she ran deep in the earth.Vincent had been trying to figure out how her desires played out in that place, but his efforts were in vain.

"Vincent, are you still digging in that ditch? There are more and more small fish and shrimps." Lisa said to him after waking up, her face was full of sleepiness from night life, it seemed that her sleep was very hard.Vincent understood that the most active part of her life was now far away from him. "A windfall in the creek always gives me temporary satisfaction. I love you, my dear." "I love you too, Vincent. But I can't search the surface with you. Something is wrong in my life. I'm a rig crew now, don't you think so?" Her eyes were satisfied, "You Have you heard the story of Maria’s Long March? She also marched, how amazing!”

Vincent was speechless.The air-raid siren in the bedroom went off, but his heart was still pounding.He heard Joe talk about Maria's Long March in an insinuating tone, which was a kind of sweet punishment in his memory, and Joe, who was always unsmiling, blushed with excitement when he talked about it.Vincent also couldn't really figure out what Maria was doing.However, his wife can "understand a little bit of understanding" with her.Everything was changing. This morning, he could no longer share the wonderland with Lisa through physical intercourse.
