Lisa didn't wake up and slept there. This disappointed Joseph a little. But he was still very grateful to Jia Huan, after all, Jia Huan saved Lisa from the brink of death. Although Lisa didn't wake up, he still had great hopes, and Jia Huan was like a mystery.

Joseph picked Lisa up and carried her to the passenger seat of the car, and helped her secure her seat belt. Then he nodded at Jia Huan. Jia Huan waited for him to get in the car, and suddenly said, "When the trees grow, Lisa will wake up." ”

Do trees grow? Joseph simply did not understand what was going on. But he still nodded gratefully and said, "Thank you, Huan, without you, Lisa would be finished." ”

Jia Huan nodded, didn't answer him, and watched Joseph drive away. Then he turned around and went into the house. As the door of the wooden house closed, it was as if it was isolated from the world. This is the norm for Jia Huan to live here for a while.

Joseph drove home, then pulled over and carried Lisa into her room. Placed her on the bed. He found a towel, brought a basin of water, wiped Lisa very carefully, and looked at his daughter's white and smooth face, his heart was a little quiet.

If you really can't wake up, then ...... I will take care of her and will never give up. At least she's alive. Thinking of this, Joseph slowly calmed down, and began to look at his daughter's face, yes, very much like himself, but the nose was very similar to his wife Melissa, and when he thought of this, he couldn't help but murmur.

"Melissa, I'm sorry I didn't take good care of Lisa!" As he spoke, he held Lisa's hand tightly, sinking into deep memories and self-blame.

Time seemed to pass quickly, until he heard a knock at the door, then he got up, shook his somewhat confused head, looked at Lisa lying on the bed, and got up to open the door.

"Joseph? Hello Mr. Cox, I'm Officer Parton, and we'd like to ask your daughter about the situation. Can we come in and talk about it? "There are two police officers at the door, and Joseph knows both. It's the cops in the police station in the town, Officer Patton, and a policewoman, presumably new here, who hasn't seen it.

"This is ......," Joseph looked at the policewoman suspiciously.

"Marlene? Sheriff Louise is our new sheriff. Officer Parton introduced the policewoman, then walked in, looked around, and said, "Can we sit down and talk for a while?" ”

"Of course, what's not to do?" Joseph nodded, waved his hand, and motioned for the two of them to sit down.

After the two of them sat down, Joseph went to pour two cups of coffee, put them on the coffee table and said, "Well, officers, I don't know what to say, you can ask whatever you want." But Lisa wasn't at home, I thought...... Just ask me. ”

"Well, we're visiting...... A very strange thing happened last night, there were a lot of people who reacted to hearing an unusual sound, and this sound was on the way to Lake George, and we also went to the scene to check it out, actually...... We didn't find anything, did you hear anything out of the ordinary? It was Officer Parton who was questioning, and the female sheriff looked around, as if casually.

"Or what do you see?" Officer Parton continued.

"I'm sorry, Officer Parton, I didn't hear it, and certainly couldn't have seen it...... If nothing else......" Joseph had already stood up and made a gesture of please to them.

"Okay, okay, if you know any information, call me, my number, everyone in this town has it, and you are no exception, goodbye!" Officer Parton walked to the door, waved at Joseph, and pulled the door open to exit.

"Uh...... Mr. Cox, your daughter? It's beautiful, what's it called? "When you're about to go out, that Marlene? Sheriff Louise stopped, looked back at Joseph, pointed to the couch, and smiled, "I think she must be cute!" He said to the photo frame next to a sofa next to the coffee table in the living room.

This was brought by Joseph to the living room, so he just shrugged his shoulders and spread his hand to the sheriff: "So...... Any questions? ”

"No, just ask. Well, Mr. Joseph, goodbye! With that, the sheriff opened the door and went out.

Miranda? Sheriff Louise and Officer Parton came out, got into the car, and the two prepared to leave. Miranda? Sheriff Louise sat in the passenger seat and said to Officer Parton, "Do you think Mr. Cox is lying?" ”

"No, I don't think he will, I know him, he's an honest guy, always has been, I've been in town for so many years, I know everybody here...... Although until now I was a deputy sergeant! Officer Parton laughed and said, "Do we still need to visit?" It's almost the end of town. ”

"Isn't there anyone else here?" Miranda? Sheriff Louise said to Patton.

Officer Parton shrugged his shoulders and said, "Of course...... It's not the end here, and there's another person, but it's a little weird, and he rarely goes to the town, but the people are not bad, but he doesn't like to go out. Well, he lives not far from Cox's house, and I'm sure he's the last resident of town. The only outsider. ”

"You mean the Chinese?" Sheriff Louise glanced at Officer Parton, she had learned all about the situation here since she came, so she knew Jia Huan.

"Yes, he's been here for a long time, and he's not an outsider, more than ten years is enough for a person to identify with this town. I think he's no exception, and that's what makes this town so charming. Officer Parton said, and as soon as the car turned, it drove towards the cabin where Jia Huan lived.

The car slowly stopped in front of Jia Huan's cabin. The two got out of the car. Officer Parton smiled and said to Sheriff Louise, "Look, he's such a man, he lives alone in the woods, and he has been like this for more than ten years, and you can't imagine how many times he goes to the streets of the town in a year." ”

"How many times?" Sheriff Louise asked.

"Uh...... Well, I'll admit that I don't have a specific progression, though...... I think it's only two or three times a month, anyway, it's not a lot, because he is the only resident outsider, so in the past ten years, many people have known him, and because of this, he doesn't have many friends. Officer Parton said with a grin as he walked towards the cabin, "Almost no friends, except Joseph?" Cox. ”

The two walked to the door as they spoke, and Parton was about to raise his hand to knock on the door, when suddenly the door of the cabin opened, and he saw a person standing at the door looking at them, and when he got out of Patton, he couldn't help but smile embarrassedly: "You scared me, Mr. Jia." ”

"I'm sorry if I'm offended, but ...... What's the matter? Jia Huan looked at the two policemen and said expressionlessly, and he had no intention of inviting them in to sit.

"That's right, we want to ask if you heard or saw anything unusual last night, something different from your usual life." Officer Parton didn't want to go in and sit down, so he said at the door, "We're investigating a case of a resident complaint......

"I'm sorry, I didn't feel anything!" Jia Huan spread his hands and said, "Of course...... If there's anything out of the ordinary, I'll tell you, okay? ”

"Well, that's it...... That's great! Officer Parton nodded, turned around, and shrugged his shoulders at Sheriff Louise, who had turned around with him, and made a very helpless expression.

"Hey, Officer Parton...... Is it Officer Parton? Suddenly, Jia Huan was heard saying from behind them, "I mean...... Do you have a business card or something? You know...... I don't have your number, if I find anything out of the ordinary, I can call you! All right? ”

"Of course, no problem!" Parton took out a business card and handed it over, "If you have any questions, call me!" As he spoke, he returned to the car with some stumbling back.

"Didn't you say everyone in this town knew your phone?" Sheriff Louise glanced at Officer Parton and said.

"Yes, almost everyone. Well, this person is an exception, after all...... He lives here, and he has some quirks......" Officer Parton said, spreading his hands, "so it's understandable that he doesn't know my number." ”

"Some quirks?" Sheriff Louise's brow twitched slightly.

"Yes, he lives in such woods, and has little contact with the outside world, except for one or two people he only knows, who cares that there is such a person in a small town? I don't think most people care, so ...... There's nothing wrong with me about that. Officer Parton started the car and said as he drove the car out.

"A person who doesn't associate with outsiders doesn't necessarily have quirks, and I can tell he's not a quirky person......" Sheriff Louise looked through the mirror at the cabin that was moving away, and the figure standing on the balcony of the cabin, and couldn't help but exhale, "Don't label people easily, whether you like that person or not!" ”

Officer Parton looked at Sheriff Louise in surprise, shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and the car headed for the road leading to the town's central street. This incident should actually be a prank by the residents. Gotta go back and teach that complaining bastard, weird voice? There are weird sounds here every day. Because here is damn Texas.

Joseph watched the police car leave, returned to the living room, picked up the picture frame, stroked it gently, and then walked into Lisa's room, Lisa was still asleep, as if she didn't know anything about the outside world. Yes, she is still asleep, how can she know about the outside world?

Slowly, Joseph fell asleep on Lisa's bedside. Outside the window, a dark cloud slowly obscured the moon, the weather became cold, and a gust of wind blew.

A bolt of lightning pierced through the clouds, and then it began to rain. Joseph was already asleep, he was exhausted, so he slept deeply. But in the rain and lightning, where the wooden box was buried, the earth seemed to shake slowly, as if something was about to break through the ground......
