Chapter 79 seventy eight

Joe decides to run away (2) As soon as he put down his chopsticks after eating, an uninvited guest entered their yard.The man had a turban on his head, making him look dusty.Maria told Joe that it was his driver.Joe also recognized the familiar face, and remembered the days and nights he had spent with Mr. King in the north.But when did Maria become acquainted with the driver? "I've been here for a few days, and I live in the basement of the hotel. You saw me, you didn't recognize me, you walked past me. We were drunk and fell to the ground, but one of my eyes Always open."

Maria told him to put down the canvas bag on his back, but he refused, and just stood there at the door. "Mr. Jin wants me to relive your old dreams." The driver said to Joe. Joe pictured endless meadows, snow-covered mountaintops, and eccentric, half-mountain homeowners.The driver stood motionless in front of him, his face under the turban looking very handsome in the sunset.Attracted by him, Jo thought, as he was rarely seen in town, perhaps he was a descendant of ancient warriors?But when he had met him earlier at the meadow, he hadn't been a good-looking man.Maria's eyes were fixed on the man, and Joe remembered her long-standing connection with him, and jealousy surged in her heart.What kind of relationship will she have with this person and Jin?

"How about reliving old dreams?" he asked. "You've been reliving old dreams." His eyes were smiling. "But I don't understand." Jo felt hot all over. "Then, I'll go first." He walked out of the yard, out of the gate, and disappeared into the golden sunset.Maria was radiant. Joe couldn't sit still at home, so he went outside.He walked aimlessly, and before he knew it, he came to the small bookstore again, and saw the fierce boss.There are people coming and going in the bookstore, but the lights are dim, and the people who come in are a bit sneaky, and the boss is sitting arrogantly on a high stool at the entrance.Over the years, Joe has bought many good books here.But before, this was just an ordinary small bookstore with relatively light business. No one expected that such a bookstore could be maintained in the city for so many years.Joe speculated that maybe the boss was making his living by some shady deals.Joe never talked to the boss, because the boss was unreasonable, like a big shot.But he does have some interesting books in his store.

It was a little strange today. After Joe entered the bookstore, the power suddenly went out. He was pushed around by some people, and he knocked over a bookshelf. All the books fell down, and the boss cursed in the dark.Thankfully the lights came back on quickly. "Wherever you go, there will be an earthquake." The boss said while picking up books. Joe also helped to pick it up, thinking to himself, how did he know?After picking up the books, he was embarrassed to stay any longer, so he went outside.But the boss stopped him.He took out a cushion book from under his buttocks and handed it to him, saying that it was specially reserved for him.With her heart pounding, Jo hid behind a bookshelf and opened a book, and saw King's portrait.But it wasn't Kim, another person's name was written under the portrait.Looking at the introduction of the book again, it is written in the preface that the book describes all the trivial things that happened in the author's life, and there are a lot of diaries. "Because someone was willing to publish it, I shamelessly wrote it all in." The author joked.Seeing this, Joe decided to buy the book.The boss refused to take the money, saying that the author had told him to give the book to him.

"Has the author come?" asked Jo anxiously. "No, he sent his subordinates. You see, he's sitting there." Through the hazy light, Joe saw the handsome face of the driver, who was flipping through a book at a corner, and Joe felt a throbbing in his heart, thinking: "It's really him." "Sometimes, the people you meet are already by your side." After saying this, the boss returned to his high stool and sat down, returning to that arrogant look. Joe felt the driver smile at him from over there, but he obviously didn't want Joe to disturb him, he seemed to be looking for a book.Joe walked out of the bookstore.When he got under the streetlight, he couldn't help but open the book again, and saw the picture of Jin again.When he calmed down to look at it, he realized that this person was not Jin at all, but that his face looked a bit like him.The man's eyes were stern, even a little cruel.Joe doesn't like cruel people.But isn't Kim a bit cruel?Joe felt strange, but he liked Jin.Jo shuddered at the fact that such a fellow should write his personal secrets in such a thick book and designate it for him.So this driver, is it the driver he met at Jin's place?Perhaps the so-called revisiting old dreams is about this book, but this person is indeed not like Jin, not even the color of his hair. Jin has black hair, as black as a crow's wings, while this person's hair is light-colored .

Joe thought again, would he write such a book himself?As long as there is a place to publish, the idea of ​​writing all the trivial things that happened in his life must be out of greed. Joe is not sure if he would do this. He really doesn't like this person This expression on the photo.Because of these thoughts, he accidentally bumped into a person, a black girl, a beautiful cleaner. "Good evening! How are you reading on the road, sir?" she said cheerfully.
