Wine and Gun

Olga's Christmas present has also been unwrapped and the package is missing, but the content is indeed her new book published in October. Since the book is now lying plainly on the table (Herstal probably turned a few pages at the table, then threw the book away in disgust), probably out of Olga's bad taste, this On the cover of the book is a photograph of Albarino and Herstal.

They had paid attention to this book before—and rightly so when the protagonists were the Sunday gardener and Westland pianist. The book caused quite a stir among ordinary people, but opinions on it were widely divided among professionals, many of whom believed that, without being able to determine the true identity of the Sunday gardener, "the Sunday gardener" It is a disrespect to the deceased that it is likely that Dr. Bacchus has been killed," and "to make this speculation without evidence is just to attract attention."

This is to be expected. After all, it is impossible for Olga to announce in public that "I went to the Sunday gardener's forest cabin to confront him". It is also expected that the truth is suspected of hiding too many details. .

Now, Albarino, in the prison uniform on the cover of the book, stares blankly at the sky. He remembers the state he was in when he took this photo. After Sarah died in the alley, his temporary prison was expected. , but the whole process is still very tiring. It was this exhaustion that obscured the details of their faces and made them look fundamentally different from who they are now—the self who lived in a foreign country and subconsciously changed their appearance.

Especially Herstal, he thought.

People living in Westerland would not have expected Herstal to look like this, because they had never really seen him emerge from some kind of shadow that enveloped him. They can't imagine a hard-edged (though some think he was hard-edged enough when he was in Westerland, but that's a completely different concept than now) Herstal , he is more like a sharp blade than every moment in the past, like a yīn prey, some kind of monster that can destroy everything he doesn't care about.

Maybe everyone has some dark seeds in their hearts. Most people choose to bury them in the deepest part of their hearts, and they will never germinate in their lives, and Albarino appreciates exactly the kind of seeds in Herstal's heart. The process by which things grow like weeds. Some people—like Lavasa McCard, if he were alive—would accuse him of dragging a man who was supposed to live a peaceful life into a slug.

Albarino himself didn't think so, he even felt that whether he was there or not, those branches would one day stretch. He cannot turn one thing into another which has nothing to do with it.

Something will happen sooner or later... just be patient.

For example, at this moment, Albarino walked through the living room and the hallway, pushed open the door to the sun room, and the music poured in through the door. Albarino looked at the source of the music, and couldn't help but have a sunny smile on his face. At this moment, the sun room was immersed in the hazy white skylight, and the glass roof was covered with a thick layer of snow, so The light was much weaker than usual.

—In a corner of a room, there is a piano.

Herstal Armalette sat on the piano bench, leaving Albarino with a straight back.

The plants in the sunroom were still green in the warm climate, and the cascading leaves were now dim and sparse shadows in the morning light, and Herstal was wearing a shirt with the cufflinks on his cuffs still meticulously buttoned. , fingers resting on the black and white ivory keys, the notes are flowing, like the dead and the resurrected struggling from the rotten coffin, like the cold water gushing out of the broken ice - such a scene is like a fantasy.

After all, they had lived in the house for months, and Albarino had never seen Herstal move the piano during that time.

The house was bought in the third month after they came to Flora. Albarino was very dissatisfied with the house he had rented before, so he decided to buy the current house after a very painful selection. The previous owner of the house was an elderly woman in her late seventies who decided to sell her house and move to the south of France to live with her sister; the woman left with almost only two suitcases The country, the rest is left in this old house in Flora.

So when Albarino and Herstal took over the house, there was a considerable amount of old furniture left, including an old piano that had previously been placed in the sunroom.

Herstal doesn't say anything about the piano - to tell a joke many people won't believe, the Westland pianist didn't have a piano in the Westland house, so the original WLPD profile was from It was wrong from the beginning. Who would believe it when I said it? - When the workers they hired came to clean up the unwanted old furniture, this man was going to get rid of the piano without saying hello.
