Vincent goes to Las Vegas (9) Lisa gave him a glare when he said this, and he couldn't tell whether she approved or disagreed.By this time the train had pulled into the station.They watched the conductor and found that he showed no signs of waking up.Although it was uncomfortable for him to sleep there, he did sleep soundly. He and Lisa sat in the garden for a long time that day.The sun was shining and the smell of the grass was drowsy.Vincent told Lisa that he was so unsure about some things now that he wasn't even sure about going to work.Maybe he should change to a job like a train conductor?But he doesn't like the life of traveling, and he doesn't like loneliness. Now, he feels that his career has become a shackle around his neck, because there are things in this world that he is really interested in, but he can't delve into them. .He babbled on and on about these things, as if he had been holding back for decades, the more he talked, the more his eyes became straighter, the more he felt that he was out of bounds, but he couldn't stop.

At first Lisa let him talk, looking absent-minded.Her big brown eyes looked at Vincent, looking so distant, as if he was a passerby. "Vincent, where were you hiding while I was picking ferns in the ditch?" she murmured. Vincent felt cold and stopped talking. Lisa made a few strange gestures and showed a very anxious expression. Vincent felt that she was communicating with someone.Who is it?There is no one around. "Vincent, I'm leaving," she added, looking away as she said this. "I go to the same place every day. But why are you complaining? I feel like you're complaining."

But she didn't move, she just sat there in a daze.Finally she stood up, walked around the stone table, put her hands on Vincent's shoulders, and said, "I finally remembered that it was not Maria who marched at night, but myself. You see, How forgetful I am. You don't have to change jobs, and that doesn't stop you from delving into that kind of thing." "I also remember that it was you who marched at night, but you said it was Maria!" "Perhaps the hallucination occurred as soon as I entered her rose garden. Now, I am talking to you in the garden, and I am gone, gone. Do you see my back? With the cook."

Vincent put his arms around Lisa, and the woman sat in his arms as quiet as a kitten.Vincent heard a strange sound. After listening carefully, it was the sound of galloping horseshoes.There were also shouts from the crowd. "My dear, where are you going?" he said, kissing her ear. "I changed my habit of going out at night." She chuckled. "Ah, Lisa, how light you are, is this you? Looking at the casino under the sun, it seems to be coming towards us. Lisa, is this you?" "It's me, dear. You can't forget it because it's always in your heart."

They were babbling wildly, and at their door, a tense-faced Joe was looking for Vincent, who had an emergency to report to him.The cook told Jo that the master and mistress had returned and were in the garden.Joe walked into the big garden where the plants were so overgrown that the road disappeared, but he couldn't see the two people at all.He saw the dove.Small white pigeons, hiding in the grass, are everywhere, making beautiful moans.So the tension in Joe's heart relaxed, and he felt that there was no need to worry, and it would be nice to stay here for an afternoon.A few nights ago, he passed by the garden in the middle of the street and saw Vincent sitting on a bench drinking. At that time, his distress was written all over his face.He came to Vincent to discuss business matters, but now he has

I can't remember what to talk about, but I vaguely remember that it has something to do with the improvement of clothing styles.Now he was a little afraid of meeting Vincent, because he could no longer explain why he came to him.He squatted down in the grass and listened to the singing of pigeons.Joe hadn't seen his boss for days, and he wondered if he still wanted to leave?If he wanted to leave the clothing company himself, why should he still work hard for the company's business?The company had grown into a behemoth, the opportunities were increasing, and Joe's salary was increasing.Maria resumed her hobby of buying jewelry.In the midst of busy business activities, Joe has frequent reading activities, so sometimes he also uses written language when talking about business.When this happens, his customers often nod their heads in complete understanding.Who are his customers?Then he heard Vincent and Lisa walking past him on the other side of the peach tree.

"I can't figure out how you breathe in the basement, can you teach me?" Vincent said. "Vincent, honey, that's called summoning. I don't want everyday life to be full of earthquakes." Jo saw Lisa's bright gown through the peach branches, and they were walking toward the house.The singing of pigeons, the blue sky and green trees are so nostalgic here.Jo sat down, took the novel out of her purse, and read.In the chapter he was reading, there was a train, and there was no one in one of the carriages, only two shadows appeared on the glass window.The conductor, the fat old man, came up and explained: "This is a new test to see if this particular kind of travel is possible. These two men started the 'Gulle Clothing Company' in the city, People who belong to the elite class." Joe didn't like the tone of this description very much, as if it was glib.What kind of person is an elite, Vincent is not that kind of person.He suddenly came to his senses: how could things in reality be written in the book?Look at the cover of the book again, there is still the photo of the bee on it, and the title of the book written in cursive script: "The Brave Long March".At this time, two real bees landed on the cover of the book. Both of them had passed out, a drone and a worker bee, moving their legs in despair.Was Vincent sending him a message?Carefully placing the bee on the blade of grass, he recalled what Lisa had said about the earthquake.Just yesterday, there was a real earthquake in his square, when the statue in the center slowly collapsed, and the spring water in the well gushed out.Out of an inexplicable impulse he ran to the well, to see his own face.But he couldn't get close, the little waterfall drenched him completely, and he couldn't stand still because everything was shaking.
