Chapter 229: Meeting
As the car drove out of the denser urban area, the buildings on both sides slowly became thin.
It didn't take long for large fields to begin to appear on both sides of the road, but the fields were bare and there were no crops.
"What are those people doing?" Kidd, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned his head to look out the window and asked curiously.
Koller turned his head and looked in the direction of Kidvan.
On the right side of the car, two middle-aged people, a man and a woman, with four children of different ages, were standing on a field about 200 meters away from him.
The other party looked obviously a family of six, and in front of them there was a thick smoke rising into the sky, and black pillars of smoke drifted diagonally into the air.
"They are doing cremation, in order to pay tribute to their deceased relatives, cremation is actually a tradition that Tutlan has had for a long time, but few people continue to use it today, and now cremation is more of a ritual, just to remember the deceased relatives."
Kohler withdrew his gaze and explained softly.
"Loved ones? So there's not really a ...... in the fire."
"Yes, dear, the black smoke represents a connection with the other side, and can convey the thoughts of the living to the loved ones."
Kidd stared at the smoke and the backs of a family of six, who snuggled up to each other and looked up at the rising smoke.
As the car continued to move forward, similar smoke appeared from time to time in the farmland on both sides.
There was silence all the way, and the two did not continue to chat, but it didn't take long for the car to reach its destination.
It was a farmstead, and after passing the iron gate, the car soon stopped in front of a warehouse.
Before they could get out of the car, the two heard music coming from the warehouse.
"This is where your girlfriend's band rehearses?" Kidd asked as he got out of the car.
He was now outside the car, looking around, in addition to the eight or nine meters high warehouse in front of him, there were several similar, farther places nearby, there was a three-story villa, the roof was covered with gray tiles, and the walls were red-painted wooden planks.
"That's right, this is the home of one of Rita's classmates, and the surrounding area is the other party's fields, because in the winter, there is no farm work, and many warehouses are empty, so the classmate lent one of them to the band."
Koller also got out of the car, locked the car and replied.
"Mm-hmm, it's just that the place is a bit far away." Kidd replied undeniably.
"It's a little far away, but at least it won't make anyone noisy, right?" Koller smiled, "Let's go, Rita is inside." ”
After entering, the two found that half of the warehouse was filled with wooden boxes and straw-like things, and the remaining half of the space was also scattered with iron cans, iron tongs, and farm tools.
And in the depths of the warehouse, several young people are playing the tracks.
A lead singer and guitarist, a co-guitarist, a bass player, and finally a drummer and keyboardist, two men and three women, that's all five people in the band.
Rita, the band's lead singer and guitarist, was engrossed in singing, unaware of Körler and Kidd walking in from outside.
Seeing this, Köller and Kidd did not continue to bother, but now waited on the sidelines.
It was then that Koller noticed a petite girl with waist-length hair sitting on the wooden box next to the band.
As if sensing Kohler's gaze, the girl turned her head, and the two suddenly looked at each other, Kohler nodded and smiled, the girl looked a little restrained, but also smiled back.
A few minutes later, when the song ended, Koller walked over with Kidd.
"Hey, Rita." Koller greeted Rita.
"You're here?" Rita replied.
Koller greeted the rest of the band as he walked towards Rita.
The members of the band knew about Rita's relationship and had met before, so the members all laughed in response to Körler's greeting.
Rita led the little girl who had just been listening to her.
"Kohler, you didn't see you the first two times you came, this is Mary, and it's all thanks to her lending us the warehouse that our band has a place to rehearse."
"Rita, you're too polite, anyway, the farm is idle at the end of the year, and there are a lot of warehouses, so don't dislike the place too far." Mary spoke softly, in an extraordinarily gentle tone.
"Don't say that, you've been a great help this time."
"I want to thank you for helping me get my handbag back."
This Mary is the girl who was robbed a long time ago, before attending Alice's birthday party, after Gong Bing and the three of them went to the mall to buy clothes.
"Anyway, thank you very much for your help, and I'll find a time for us to treat you to a meal to express my gratitude." Kohler said with a smile.
Hearing Koller's words, Mary only smiled implicitly.
As she could see that the three of them had something to say, Mary stopped bothering them, and turned away after saying goodbye.
Koller then introduced Kidd and Rita to each other.
"Let's go, let's find a place to eat first, sit down and talk slowly." After the two had greeted each other, Koller said.
This was something that had been agreed upon, and the other two nodded and naturally had no opinion.
So the three of them got into the car and left the farm, and drove outside.
After leaving the farm, the car drove along the road, and Kohler picked a random restaurant on the side of the road, parked the car, and the three of them walked in one by one.
"Okay, listen to Koller, do you have something to say to me? What the hell is going on? After sitting down, Rita asked straight to the point as she flipped through the menu.
"Huh? The food at this restaurant seems to be a bit expensive. Rita then muttered again.
Ignoring Rita's last words, Körler turned his head to look at his best friend.
"That's right, it's just the three of us right now, Kidd, if you have something to say, just say it."
Kidd nodded, and he first looked around cautiously, as if to make sure that no one was eavesdropping nearby, and that there were any suspicious people watching this way.
Because it was better not to be heard by others about what they wanted to talk about, at Kidd's suggestion, the three of them chose a corner seat to sit down.
And the speakers that play music in the restaurant are right on their heads, so it's safer to talk about private matters under the cover of music.
"Sister-in-law...... Ahem, Rita, you know, Koller and I are good friends, so I was the first to know about him finding out that he was a Stranger. ”
Rita nodded.
"Koller never told anyone about having special abilities, not even his family, and he only told me about it at the time, and he was very depressed at the time, and he always liked to think about himself, which made me very worried." Kidd paused, then laughed.
"Although I have been comforting him, but it has not been very useful, just when I was helpless, you Ruita appeared, and it was you who brought Koorr's whole person to life, and I believed then that love can really cheer people up."
Rita had never heard Koller talk about these things before, and since the first time the two met, Koller has always been a positive and optimistic person in her mind.
In their relationship, Kohler never showed a depressed will, and she herself was often the one who needed the other party's encouragement.
Thinking that Koller might have been hiding her unhappy side for her sake, Rita felt a pang of guilt, so she looked at Koller's eyes at this time, which were full of love.
"Ahem, I said Kidd, you better hurry up and get down to business, don't keep talking about useless." Feeling Rita's gaze, although Koller's heart was warm, he felt a little embarrassed, so he quickly interrupted Kidd and said.
Kidd shrugged, then said with a serious expression.
"Don't think it's useless to say this, the reason why I bring up these past events now is just hope, I hope you will pay attention to what I am going to say next."
