v2 Chapter 374： None of them can save you (1/2)
Matthew heard his face suddenly change, ”I swear, if you dare to do anything to Jane and Wendy, I will kill you Cook, no matter how many people you fled to the ends of the earth, no matter how many people around you, no matter between us How many contacts have I had before, I will catch up with you and send the bullets into your head. ”
”Very well, all I need is this anger.” The old humpback said here but suddenly closed his mouth, and then saw Jane came over with tea and cookies, and said at the same time, ”What are you talking about? Thing? ”
”Yeah, Matthew and I talked about the salmon we were fishing together before,” said the elderly humpback, who took the tea cup and smiled and thanked him. ”I don't know if he told you that we once went hunting and got lost I did n’t know how to get to a small stream. I do n’t know if we were the first one to find it there. In short, there are so many salmon there, they are almost crowded together. Each one is very fat. Matthew and I do n’t even need to use any fishing gear. They can catch them as long as they reach out, and they have no alert. They are just waiting there for you, which makes me curious. What made them look like this? ”
”What is it?” Jan Rao asked with interest.
”It's Mrs. Life. It's life that made them like this. For a long time they had no natural enemies. This stream provided them with a lot of food, so they gradually lost their alertness to the outside world and became immersed. In a short period of happiness, until one day danger came, they even forgot to escape. ”
The old humpback drank the tea and continued, ”Seeing them can't help reminding me of the society we live in right now, isn't it like this creek. It does its best to maintain order and let the fishes live in it. Can reproduce as much as possible, all these laws, economic order, God ... all these are creating the illusion of prosperity, people feel at ease, willing to be domesticated, and lost their instincts, but you know what Madam When these dangers really come, these things can't save you, your laws, money, and God, they can't save you. ”
After Cook spoke, the living room fell into silence.
Jane tried to put a smile on her face, ”... to be honest, your words scared me a bit, sir.”
”Really, then I apologize for that, ma'am, by the way, the tea you made is very good.” The hump-backed man raised his glass as he gestured, and then he turned to look at the other side. Teddy, ”You're lucky, a mother and little girl with excellent cooking skills.”
Wendy said nothing, and instead asked, ”What's your harvest?”
”what?”
”You said salmon were in that stream. What was your harvest that day?”
”Oh, great. Although we did n’t hit the deer, we did catch a lot of fish. I had to take off my coat and wrap the fish that couldn't fit, but even so, the fish we caught Compared to the rest in the creek, it is still insignificant. My father and I had to eat grilled fish for several days, and I did n’t want to smell fishy for a long time. In a smile.
Matthew, who had not spoken, said, ”Well, Mr. Cook and I have something to talk about. Wendy, you and your mother should go upstairs first.”
”Okay, then we'll leave the living room to you men.” Jane smiled politely at the old man again.
However, her smile suddenly froze on her face the next moment.
