Chapter 99 ninety eight

Edda returns to the farm (6) "Under the sea, under the sea!" the woman said to him from the window.Blow through your mouth while talking. "Honey, come here!" Reagan called. Futile longing tormented him, and the smell of nausea in the car intensified.Reagan was amazed: How could a woman as pure and brisk as her like this smell in the car?She stayed there, seemingly attracted only by the smell.A huge whale skeleton appeared in Reagan's mind, with some carrion on the skeleton, and the tsunami was pushing the prop to rotate. He sat up hard, and saw the woman leave the window and walk towards the woods, which was smoking.

"Ada." He struggled to say these two words, and returned to the sofa bed. The territory of the farm stretched into the distance in the darkness, and the scale made Reagan crazy.Now he has entered Jin Xia's frenzied thoughts, turning into a crow hovering over the yellow land, unable to land.He wanted to establish a boundary, but that idea became wishful thinking.Thirst, hunger, fear, he made a circular flight, a diagonal flight, and then a spiral descent.Maybe, he thought, he stayed at a certain point without moving.For a moment, he caught a glimpse of a breakwater and thought it was the boundary, but behind the breakwater was not the sea, but an endless cornfield—an experimental site for Jinxia to carry out diversified operations.

At dusk, he heard Jin Xia talking with someone.The man appears to be a policeman asking Jin Xia about buying the land.Jin Xia stammered, his voice trembled, and he immediately denied what he said. Reagan guessed that his face was pale and his head was sweating. Reagan went to the window and looked out, only to find Jin Xia standing under the tree in a daze. "Jin Xia, who were you talking to just now?" "Oh, no one. I was talking to myself," he said sheepishly. "Talk to yourself? What about the rumors outside? About you taking bribes." "Mr. Reagan, let me tell you, that's a rumor I let out myself."

"what!" Reagan was taken aback and remained speechless for a long time.The crow suddenly croaked from the tree, and his mind went blank.The stench inside the trailer had disappeared, but his tense nerves still did not relax. What Jin Xia said exceeded his expectations.he thinks He mentioned the wolf he kept at home, the half of the building that was eaten away by termites and collapsed, his swollen wife, and the eldest son who wandered like a wild wolf... Reagan stepped out of the trailer, and he wanted to talk to Jin Xia. "Jin Xia, how long have you been out of your hometown?"

"Me? Ah, let me tell you, I don't have a hometown. I was born on the road, and I have been on the road since then, in the marching team... Do you think I look like someone with a hometown?" When he spoke, his eyes kept staring into the distance. Reagan looked into his field of vision and saw the eagle falling crookedly from the air. It was barely able to maintain a stable position at first, and then it fell headlong into the lake. "I don't have a home," he added. "Your driver, Martin, knows that." "Martin?" "Yes. I met Martin at a picnic--a well-dressed lad, handsome, who suggested that I come to your farm. I was doing great work there. Martin said I'd come here Come to use, he also called your farm 'the wasteland'. Smart boy. The scenery here is very beautiful, especially the green night sky, which opened my eyes."

After a while, Jin Xia told Reagan that he was leaving. "Going home?" "No, the world is home. Our family will leave at night. I have found my replacement. He was a monk." "I was so surprised." Reagan had another sleepless night.He was by the lake, fishing on that little stool, and the boy was sitting next to him on the ground. "Little wolf, are you leaving?" "Yeah, Uncle Reagan, am I saying goodbye to them?" "Who is it?" "The leeches in the puddles. I'm good friends with them. Every week, I let them suck blood on my legs. Look!"

He rolled up his trouser legs and showed Reagan the slightly swollen and inflamed calf. "I love you, little wolf, do you really want to go?"
