As soon as Joe entered the office, he saw the wasp.Huge hornet's nests were knotted on top of the air conditioner, where they were crowded in a dark pile, but these little things made no sound at all, which was really abnormal.Joe opened the drawer, took out the long-lost travel book on Tibet, and turned to the middle. He couldn’t understand a single word of the Tibetan language, and there were no pictures in the book, but for a long time, Joe kept repeating Open this book.What's in this book?He doesn't know, he only knows that there may be a world in it, a place that can't be explored to the bottom.When he was staring at the Tibetan words in the book, a wasp fell on the page, and the Tibetan words suddenly jumped up, burning the little thing like a flame, it struggled for a few seconds and then stopped moving.

"Joe, are you experimenting?" It was Lisa who came in.She was still in the gaudy attire, and the skirt was so short that her thighs were exposed. Even though Joe turned his face towards the hornet's nest in embarrassment, Lisa walked over nonchalantly, picked up Joe's book, let the pages spread out and shook a few times, and Joe saw a layer of dead bee nests on the ground. "My hometown is called the hometown of wasps. Everyone's blood is filled with that toxin. Vincent didn't believe in such a thing, and he was greatly traumatized as a result." "So, what's in my book? Do you know?"

"That's where you haven't been." Lisa went under the air conditioner and put a hand in among the wasps, and Joe saw that thin hand swell up rapidly.She is laughing mischievously.Then she drew back her swollen carrot finger and walked past Jo, smiling, out the door. He had hardly put the book in the drawer when the customer came in, unannounced, and Jo, annoyed at him, stared at him without saying a word.He was a skinny guy with several scars on his face.He said that he felt like coming home as soon as he came in. Who still keeps bees in the office now?What a wonderful idea.He uttered these compliments with a grin, and drew a glass bottle from his pocket.Inside was a bottle full of dead bees.

"Joe, I'm a worker at Reagan's Farm, too," he said, wiping away tears with the back of his hand, for one of his left eyes kept weeping. "The clothing produced by your company caused the death of two more people yesterday." "That has nothing to do with our company," said Joe coldly. "Really?" He came closer, staring at Joe. "Really?" He shook the bottle in his hand. Joe noticed that all the wasps in the bottle were moving. "I want to go on a business trip to your farm to investigate the death of the employees." The thin man looked at Joe curiously, rubbed his eyes and asked if he really wanted to know about such things?Will you be intimidated by the truth?He also said that if you want to go, you can't go to the farm, but you should go to country C.Why should you go to country C?Joe asked.The thin man immediately became very active, walking up and down in the office, and jumped up to pick the hornet's nest with his hands, causing the bees to fly all over the room.

"Country C, that's where you should go, that's where our dead boys came from. It's two beautiful boys, and your clothes entangled them like snakes. But I'm leaving, go by yourself, Don't go in the wrong place. If you see a vine, you should stop and wait." After he left, Joe opened the Tibetan book on the table. He thought, there should be a topographic map and a road map in the book. Did the two boys come from the snow-capped mountains on the plateau?Jo's daydreams were too much for her. Two wet black birds sat on the window sill, they were crows, and Joe felt the breath of death.How can he go to country C?By plane, of course.But how to tell Vincent?Just say to fulfill his wish, just say never look back?Joe felt that the net had finally appeared again, and the avenue leading to the square led to the sky, and a girl in a kimono was walking slowly.Was he struggling out of the chaos?Or about to fall into a larger net of confusion?It seemed that everyone was instigating and forcing him to leave, and it was the boss who was most inseparable from him who first revealed this intention to him.It appears that the owner, Vincent himself, is pushing himself.

Vincent never showed up, and Joe scoured the company for him.He didn't come, no one saw him.Colleagues stared at Joe reproachfully, as if to think he shouldn't be in such a desperate search for a boss, and one even suggested that he should "mind his own business."Hell, everyone seemed to know what was going on in his mind.Joe dared not ask any more questions.He slipped back into the office like a beggar, put his stuff in his briefcase, and sat down to call the airline.He had just finished calling when Lisa sneaked into the room again like a ghost. "Are you leaving without saying hello?"

"I can't find Vincent." "He ain't gonna be here, especially on a day like this. Look at those two crows, how black. I came out of Las Vegas all alone... How lucky you are, Joe, to have it all!" She spread her arms exaggeratedly, as if dancing.
