Chapter 78 seventy - seven

Joe decides to run away (1) Joe finally emerged from the tangle of alleys, and he told Maria that he was in a top-heavy state and only remembered seeing parrots everywhere, on balconies, fences, and trash cans Come on, it is everywhere, and the birds are not afraid of people at all. When they see him, they come to talk to him.The bird's voice often startled Joe, because it was so similar to Vincent's voice that it even resembled the content of the words. "Joe, have you made up your mind?" the old parrot asked him, waddling over. Joe looked up at the cloudy sky, and replied despondently, "I want to find an exit."

The bird stopped in dissatisfaction.However, there was wild laughter behind Joe, and another one was laughing there. Maria listened carefully to what he said, and finally responded: "This Vincent is really your bosom friend. When you opened that small door, didn't you hesitate at all? It sounds a bit weird." "I didn't have time to think about it." He felt demoralized. The next day Joe was on vacation at home, and he started reading a one-page book.The cover of the book is hardcover, with a picture of a big pine tree, but there is only a piece of thick paper inside.This piece of paper can be spread as long as the table, and the pattern on it seems to be an ant nest. The surrounding area of ​​the ant nest is densely covered with miniature characters, which can only be seen clearly with a magnifying glass.But when he took a magnifying glass to look at it, he found that he didn't know any of those words.The book was placed on the bottom shelf at the back of the small bookstore in the downtown area. When he went to pay the payment, the old boss came over and told him that the book was not for sale.

"The ones on the bookshelf, can I not sell them?" Joe was very angry, holding the book tightly, as if he was afraid that he would snatch it back. "Okay, you take it, you take it! Don't regret it!" He walked away resentfully. The price of the book was surprisingly expensive, but he bought it without hesitation. Now he tries to find his square in the ant nest.As the magnifying glass moved slowly in his hand, the floor beneath his feet began to heave. "Daddy, what are you doing in there?" Daniel asked him loudly outside the study. "Good boy, don't come in, it's a bit messy here..."

Daniel obviously didn't dare to come in, and Joe breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to wrestle with the flying books.It seemed for a moment that he threw himself on the ground, with his ear pressed to the floor, and heard Maria's voice from beneath the floor.Maria's voice was very irritated, and Joe didn't want to hear more. He leaned on the wall and stood up, but after standing for less than two seconds, he was thrown onto the sofa again.He looked over from the sofa and saw that the ant nest in the strange book disappeared and became blank.He felt his sofa like a boat bobbing on the water.Daniel pushed the door open a bit and stuck his head in.His face and neck are fresh and healthy.

"The study finally went crazy." Daniel said, seemingly satisfied. "Daniel, you kid, what do you want to do?" "Me? Don't blame me, it's all because of yourself, buying that kind of book. And mom..." He closed the door and seemed to go downstairs.Joe was very surprised: "Does Daniel really know everything?" In the chaos of the study, Jo began to think quietly.The pigeons were chirping, and there was really a pigeon in the pile of books that fell on the ground.Did it fly in through the window or did Maria put it there?Many books were broken, and the pages were scattered all over the place.Joe leaned on the wall and slowly moved to the balcony, and the familiar scene appeared in front of his eyes again.

Maria and Daniel sat drinking tea among the flowers, and the two cats walked up and down solemnly.Both mother and son turned their eyes to the balcony where he was.Joe beckoned to them both, but they didn't respond, so did they see him?The house shook violently again, and Joe was worried that he would be thrown from the balcony, so he hurried into the room, climbed onto the sofa, and grabbed the sofa tightly. "There is such a strange thing." He said to himself resentfully. Later, the earthquake subsided slowly, but there were still aftermaths.It wasn't until Maria called him downstairs to eat that the aftermath disappeared.He went downstairs in a daze and sat down in the dining room.Daniel is not there.

"Did Daniel go to work?" "So you know everything." "Of course. Doesn't he know all about me too? He's an ambitious lad. I just had an earthquake, damn it." "Daniel and I saw it. You were shaking with fear. But we can't help you, can we?" There was a turkey on the table, and Maria's face looked a little seductive in the rising heat, and two blushes seemed to fly on her cheekbones.Joe couldn't see her expression clearly, she seemed to be covered with a film.
