Chapter 29 yellow fence

The small bar was very dark, and Gigi stopped at the door for a while, waiting for her eyes to adapt to the weak light before going in.Jenny and Marcus had arrived and were sitting in the corner between the fireplace and the door.Davey sat at the bar. "Welcome back," he said to Gigi. "Sit here," Jenny said. "We're going to play a song." It was the first time Gigi had been inside a house since she had come to Turnaogue.It is more lively here than outside, because the tables and chairs are randomly made of raw tree trunks, and some still have leaves on them.

"Did you see it around here?" Davely asked. "Who?" "His goat," said Markus, "without which much of the music would not have been played." Gigi shook her head and sat down on the low stool.He was surprised to find that the stool was so much like a tree that it didn't move even when he tried to move the stool to the table.He looked under his feet, only to find that the legs of the stool and the table were buried in the dirt under the floor, and that all the furniture in the room, as well as the room itself, were still growing like plants. Willie got off the stool and walked towards the door. "I'll look for it," he said, walking out of the house.

"If I'm not mistaken," said Marcus, "you're holding the violin of Egoas Auger?" "Aigas Ogg?" Gigi said. "What's his name?" "Then what else could he be called?" Jenny said. Everyone else in the bar, including the waitress behind the bar, laughed. "But I thought Aegas Ogg was a god," said Gigi. "Don't let him hear that," Markus said. "He feels pretty good about himself." "Then, isn't he a god?" Gigi asked. "He's no different than us," Jenny said. "If you're looking for gods, you're in the wrong place," Markus said.

The barmaid came and filled Jenny's glass with the amber liquid, poured something from a yellow bottle, and placed it in front of Marcus. "What would Gigi drink?" Marcus asked. "It depends on his taste," the waitress asked. "Is there a Coke?" Gigi asked. The waitress took a bottle from the row of bottles behind the bar.The bottle is old fashioned, thick and heavy.I don't know how old this bottle of Coke is, Gigi thought.When she opened the bottle cap, the soda was still fizzing and bubbling, which seemed quite fresh.He remembered that, a few hours ago, Turnaog had no concept of time.

A disturbing thought flashed through his mind, and it had something to do with the bottle, its age, and the freshness of the soda.At this moment, Jenny pointed at the door and laughed, which made him forget the thoughts that bothered him. It turned out that the goat was standing at the door, looking inside. "He's a real music lover," Markus said, "though he'd probably be more than happy to let Davely go around in circles with him." "Are we going to catch it?" Gigi asked. "No," said Markus, "don't disappoint Davely." The waitress came over with a Coke.

"How much?" Gigi asked.However, he immediately remembered that they didn't use currency. "Band members are free," said the waitress. However, apart from the band, there was no one else in the bar.It seems that Egoas is not the only one who doesn't know how to make money in Turnaoge. "What's in the yellow bottle?" Gigi asked. "Don't know," said Markus, "but it's good. You know that 'Yellow Bottle'?" "I only know of a song called 'Yellow Fence,'" Gigi said. "That's it," Markus said. "Sometimes the names get to you and get messed up."

"Sometimes the name isn't passed on at all," Jenny said, "so many pieces don't have titles, or simply borrow the first player's name as the title." "There are also people who think they wrote the tunes themselves," Markas said. Egeas came in with a borrowed violin. He clapped his hands, wiped them excitedly, and said cheerfully, "It seems that everyone likes "The Yellow Bottle"?" "Wait a minute," Gigi said, "The third rule of learning to be anxious is not to drink." A gleam of displeasure flashed in Aegas' green eyes, and Gigi was taken aback, not knowing how Aegas would react. Fortunately, a commotion from the street saved him.I only heard sheep bleating outside accompanied by people roaring, followed by a low-pitched knocking sound, and finally, Dai Weili walked into the bar with a sheepskin drum.

Everyone cheers.Dai Weili walked to the corner.Aegas opened Maggie's piano case, and he didn't show his anger towards Gigi anymore. "Let's find the leak, shall we?" he said.
