Chapter 80 seventy-nine

Joe decides to run away (3) "Ah, I'm sorry." Joe blushed all of a sudden. "It's such a beautiful time, especially with these dimly lit bookstores. Don't you think so?" "Yes, yes, how beautiful you are, exactly." He lost his way. The woman walked away smiling.Joe saw his distressed appearance from the window.He tucked the book under his arm and hurried home.Inadvertently, he saw the driver coming out of the bookstore and walking in another direction. "Actually, at night, the outside world is very exciting. Why do you always stay in the study?"

Maria seemed to be complaining about him, for what?He went back into his study with this question, eager to know what happened to the author's reliving of old dreams, and whether it was connected with the network of stories he had operated for many years.Because a person with such a look would never give him his own book for no reason.The beginning of the book is his self-introduction, which seems artificial: "I was born in a mountain village in a small country in the east. In the impression of ordinary people, my country is a very cold country, with long winters that are boring and boring. The actual situation is not like this. The people there have very warm And the snow-capped mountains are our paradise. There are many ice caves in the mountains, which were dug by our ancestors through tenacious labor. In fact, I was born in such an ice cave.”

Joe felt cheated when he saw this, and couldn't produce the corresponding picture in his mind.Didn't he say he was going to write about personal trivia?This kind of general background introduction is really cliché.He put down the book and became dazed.There is a man in this book who wanted to say something to the world, so he wrote this book.The man was a lot like Kim, the rancher Joe met up north, but not at all.And he had indirect communication with Joe through various connections while he was invisible.As a result of the exchange, Joe fell into a daze.Joe sighed and picked up the book again, this time starting in the middle.

"The snowy scenery is a symbol of happiness. Just look at the working atmosphere in the ice cave. What is happiness? Happiness is sweating in the cold winter of minus 30 degrees Celsius. Everyone has an iron pick in their hands , digging on the wall of this thousand-year-old ice cave one by one. We are expanding our own space." Joe closed his eyes, feeling utterly weary.Someone is coming down the corridor, is it Daniel?Did Daniel know that his father was in trouble mentally?What a sensitive lad!Just when the web of stories in his head was about to reach perfection, someone was trying to wreak havoc on him.Now, the space he has been operating for a long time is shrinking, and his eyesight is also weakening. He holds a book that attracts him in his hand, but he can't read it at all, and only has the idea of ​​rejection.Is he that old?

"Daddy, I love you." Daniel poked his head out and then retracted. Joe heard the cat meowing in the hallway. "How amazing it must be for a woman to run a family like this." Joe deeply felt the essence of perfection in Maria. "I love you too, Daniel," he said in his heart.The loom was ringing downstairs again. How long had Maria stopped knitting? Daniel finally came in, and he stood motionless by the wall, a slender strip. "Do you have any troubles?" "I'm very happy." His answer startled Joe.Joe took him fishing when he was little, and Joe asked him how he felt when the fish took the bait, and he said it hurt.Now he is a gardener and lives a happy life.

"Daniel, why do you keep standing there?" "There's something in this room that scares me. Daddy, do you see that bone you're hanging on the wall is moving... What kind of bone is that? Is it a human bone?" Daniel pressed himself against the wall, and Joe felt as if he was going to crawl into it. "Don't you worry about it, boy. How heavy your heart is." Joe stood up and walked to the other side of the bookshelf, out of sight of Daniel from this angle.The kid made him uneasy.He sat down, still trying to sort out his thoughts.But he couldn't sort out his thoughts, and Daniel on the opposite side interfered with him like a magnetic field.Joe heard the sound of pages turning. Is Daniel reading the book on the table?Suddenly, Daniel's voice recited in the study:

"There are no flowers in the garden in the sky, only wild grass. Who works in that kind of place? No one. But when a gust of wind When the fog thinned a little, a straw hat appeared. " Joe came out of his hiding place.He saw the book that Daniel was holding in his hand.He walked up to him and took the book from him.But he couldn't find the sentence his son had just recited.He asked Daniel where the sentence was. Daniel said that it was not in the book, but he just saw it. He looked hard and the sentence came out.This is exactly the kind of book that can be seen, but he usually doesn't read it because it hurts his eyes too much.He hoped that his father would read less of this kind of book.
