Chapter 52: One Night (5)
In the southeast of Norman territory, far away from Brittus, Ceylon was the most important food producing area of Norman, with many manor farms.
Unlike the rainy capital, the climate here is warm and sunny, which is perfect for growing crops.
When fierce clashes erupted in Brittus, and citizen representatives stood on the stage to accuse the government of corruption and arbitrariness, the major cities in Ceylon also staged a petition of 10,000 people demanding the resignation of existing government members.
It's just that although the flame of the bourgeois revolution was lit, it did not reach the countryside, and the people who were struggling on the food and clothing line still slept on wooden beds, relieving their fatigue in the simplest and cheapest way.
In the village near Mosgen Manor, in the dark of night, in a simple wooden house, a man was lying on his bed, pretending to be asleep.
He was slightly chubby, with loose skin on his face and sunken eyes, like a defender who hadn't slept for years.
The kerosene lamp in the room was still on, and John closed his eyes tightly, and suddenly heard a sparse sound, the sound of clothes rubbing against the quilt, and his heart suddenly tightened.
'Mina ......'
John quietly opened his eyes, his eyelids lifted slit, and there was a hazy picture in front of him, where his gentle and considerate wife was lightly putting on her coat and leaving the room.
The door creaked shut, and his heart felt like it had been struck, and he didn't want to believe what he was seeing, how could Mina be, how could she......
John got up slowly, took a deep breath, and walked around the room, wondering if he should follow and see what they were doing.
Just put his palm on the handle, John was entangled again, he didn't know why he was so cowardly, he wanted to stop her from leaving, but he couldn't say a word.
He was even excusing the gentle woman, because only by thinking about it would John not be so sad in his heart.
"Mina may just be confused for a while, because I've been away from home for too long, she, she's so lonely, and I need someone to keep me company, should I understand her. ”
"That's right, everyone makes mistakes, as long as she cuts ties with that man in the future, I, I can forgive her for being unfaithful during this time. ”
"Then wait for tomorrow, I need to talk to Mina about this and let her take care of herself. ”
In this way, comforting himself, the slightly chubby palm detached from the doorknob, and returned to the bed to lie down with his eyes closed.
A lonely figure was reflected on the yellowed wall, John closed his eyes, and his upper body suddenly bounced off the bed, he couldn't pretend not to care, he cared so much!
"When did they meet?"
"Who the hell is that man, and what's his name?"
"What is it about him that attracts Mina, and am I really bad at it?"
"To what extent has she, her, and that and man developed?"
"Every night in a private meeting, they all hugged each other, so did they ...... a long time ago"
John was still asking questions, and it had only been a few seconds, as if half a century had passed.
He scratched his heart and liver, itching unbearably, and longed for a showdown with Mina now, so that she could promise herself that she would never meet that man again in the future.
Got up from the bed again and went to the door, holding the handle with his right hand.
"Even when I'm away, I've never betrayed her!"
"Isn't she in love with me anymore?"
"No, I'll go to her now, I want to know what she thinks!"
Pushing open the bedroom door suddenly, a hint of anger rose in his panic, and he felt extremely aggrieved at the thought that he missed Mina all the time when he was away from home.
Striding out of the room, his ordinary face full of sadness.
It was pitch black outside the boarded room, and John was a little timid, since he left the eerie and terrifying mining area, he could no longer stay in the space without light.
Darkness had become his greatest fear, but for his wife's infidelity and deception, John urgently needed a solution that would make him feel no longer uncomfortable.
Swallowing unconsciously, a sound came from the Adam's apple, and John tried to stick out his right foot into the night, still with the idea of peeking, so he didn't carry the lamp.
The soles of his feet were trembling, his chest was rising and falling violently, and the moment he stepped into the darkness, John seemed to see a monster emerge from the darkness and keep staring at him.
Even on weekdays, he often feels that he is being watched by something, observing his every move, and he is full of discomfort everywhere.
Still unable to overcome his fear, he turned and took down a kerosene lamp and placed a linen pillow over the glass lampshade to dim the light.
Slowly stepping out, the simple wooden room was surrounded by frogs chirping and cicadas, and the sound of incongruity with the night came from the direction of the tool room, and the hand carrying the lamp began to tremble.
He didn't want to know the answer at the moment.
It was only the fact that he was betrayed by his wife that drove him to look for the source of the sound, tapping his toes on the ground and stepping on the wet green grass, making the faint sound of footsteps.
The temperature is moderate tonight, neither hot nor cold.
Lowering the kerosene lamp that could only illuminate his feet, he bowed to the door of the tool room, which was ajar and more fierce shouts came from the tool room.
Gently pulling open the wooden window of the tool room, even the stars disappeared in the dark night, and the wheezing sound became thicker and thicker.
There were also familiar and unfamiliar shouts, John wasn't sure if the sound was made by Mina, because she wouldn't call the bed, or that she was just ......
Don't call a bed in front of yourself?
Thinking of this possibility, he placed the oil lamp lightly on the ground and looked through the crack in the window.
Only a red candle burns, the flame illuminates the dirty tool room, and a blood-pumping action blockbuster is unfolding here.
His heart sank again, John clenched his fists, his nails pressed against his palms, and he restrained his impulses with pain, he didn't want to embarrass things, and he never thought about divorcing Mina, and he was never able to get it back.
"Ah~Ahhh~"
"Great, I can't do it......"
"Hehe, you're great, baby. ”
The tall, lanky man leaned into Mina's ear, sticking out his tongue and nibbling at the earlobe, they were still dressed, but they weren't supposed to be there.
The tall and thin man suddenly became bad again, causing Mina to scream, and her eyes were a little moist.
"No, no, no!"
"Don't, please, John will hear ......"
"Why, now that you know you're scared, don't you like excitement the most, don't you like to be heard the most?"
"No, I ...... Ah......h
"So you don't want it, so I won't come to play with you in the future. ”
"No, I didn't mean that, I mean ......"
"I love it!"
"Looks like you're looking for something a little more exciting, and you're getting harder and harder lately. ”
They were even more intense, and John was dumbfounded, he had never known that Mina had such a side, and he had never known that there were so many new ways to play.
And after the shock, he was at a loss for what he should do next, how should he face such a Mina, and how should he have a showdown?
John was a little confused, and he was not in the mood to continue watching the live broadcast, he leaned against the hardwood, and the sadness still flowed slowly like water, passing the loneliness into the cells.
Scratching at the itchy back, he fell into self-doubt and couldn't extricate himself.
How things came to be like this, they shouldn't be like this. ’
'I had a whole family, a mother and a wife who loved me, and although I lived in poverty, I worked hard every day to save a gold pound to save money, but it seemed so good. ’
The future is still full of hope, and I believe that with my efforts, I can bring them a better life, but why did I earn money and come back, everything changed. ’
'Mom passed away suddenly, Mina cheated on a strange man without warning, I can no longer feel the warmth ......of home, and the nightmare continues'
Yes, the nightmare continues. ’
'It's weird, things shouldn't have turned out this way, what went wrong?'
Countless emotions mingled, and his heart was empty, and John suddenly had a strange feeling at the moment, he felt as if he was ......
Didn't love this woman so much as you imagined?
