Chapter 599: Missing Persons
Claire's vacation is basically a two-month holiday, for a week.
When to take a vacation, it depends on whether there is a lot of work, or you have to work overtime, after all, this is not the capitalists who oppress the laborers.
So most of the time, Claire will take the initiative to choose overtime work.
After the two of them washed up one after another, they immediately made breakfast, and planned to clean up before noon as much as possible, because they were in a bit of a hurry when they came back.
I didn't buy the ingredients I needed for a week.
Even breakfast is a casual coping and eating a little stored canned food.
So Anjie has to go hunting, or else he has to ride a horse to the town ten kilometers away, it's too troublesome, it's better to use local materials,
Anyway, there are a lot of crocodiles in the nearby swamp.
The busy morning passed quickly, and the dusty house was completely new.
The two were duly rewarded for their hard work.
"Whew~ It's not easy."
An Jie put down the vacuum cleaner and wiped the sweat off his neck and cheeks and sighed.
It's not physical work at all.
But Louisiana's summer season is sweltering, and the marshes don't bring cool winds, just countless mosquitoes and insects.
"It's really hot...... The rest of the season is fine, but it's only the summer that is hard to spend,"
"Why do we have to buy a farm here? Isn't Texas better? ”
Claire complained with a hot hand and a fan of the wind.
This hellish place, to be honest, basically rarely has outsiders come to settle here,
That's why she can afford to pay half of the fees for her deposit.
"It's good to be remote, besides, the cost of buying this piece of land is not affordable in Texas, you go take a shower first and then turn on the air conditioner,"
"It's eleven o'clock, and I'm going to catch a crocodile in the swamp for lunch."
An Jie shrugged his shoulders and couldn't laugh or cry,
She is not corrupt and has never saved more than $200,000......
Want to buy a piece of land in Texas for the same price,
With her salary and savings, she can't afford it at all~
"Then I'll pack my things first."
Claire nodded in agreement, the two had a clear division of labor, and she solved the problems in the house.
And An Jie went to solve the source of the ingredients for lunch.
Then he mounted his horse and went straight to the swamp, and after a while, he caught a crocodile that weighed more than two meters and about a hundred pounds.
As a hunter at the top of the food chain,
When wild animals in nature meet him, they can't escape the fate of being hunted.
Eventually, it will be dismembered on a chopping board and served as a delicious lunch.
……
"What's on schedule for the afternoon?"
Claire asked as she washed the dishes after the meal.
"Take care of the guns first, then go to the town to buy them, and accompany you to watch the drama after dinner, this is a dull and ordinary day for the two of us."
An Jie took a sip of wine from the flask and replied.
It's really simple and plain, but that's how ordinary people live.
"Then we'll have to buy some snacks and drinks,"
"The new season has aired! Tonight is just the end of the last season. ”
Speaking of chasing dramas, Claire's dishwashing action stopped, and her verbal expression seemed very excited,
An Jie was quite helpless about this,
It's also one of her few hobbies, and she likes to pull him to watch it together.
"Okay, but I have to say it, if you can't stay up all night to see it,"
"When it's time, we have to go to bed, no matter how good it is, it's just a series, and you can always watch it during a week's vacation, right?"
An Jie also gave the prerequisites, once Claire had 24 hours without sleeping,
A record of continuous non-stop drama chasing......
After being strengthened by the virus, her body functions are bearable, but An Jie is very uncomfortable, he has developed a habit of having to sleep,
Unless something big happens, more important than supplementing your sleep,
He would stay up all night without resting.
"I promise~"
Claire happily kissed An Jie on the cheek and hurriedly assured,
He didn't like to watch serials,
But she sat and watched it together in the middle of the night with her, so she couldn't refuse this request, and there was no reason to deny it, and the two had to give in to each other when they were together.
No matter who is in charge of the relationship,
Blindly asking, in the end, there is only unhappiness and dissolution.
The afternoon was also very uneventful, Anjie spent two hours maintaining the gun, and Claire was in front of the computer to deal with work matters.
I didn't go out to the town until about three o'clock to buy, and I have to say that horseback riding is in some places,
It's much more convenient than a vehicle.
Louisiana's humidity is heavy, the ground is damp, although there are also cement roads,
But it's not widespread everywhere.
At about five o'clock in the evening, the two returned from shopping, and the horses were full of goods, and they had to be fed well, otherwise they would not have been able to carry them.
Along the way, Claire kept explaining the stories of the series he loved to watch,
An Jie could only take a deep breath and smile bitterly,
Listening to her more than long-winded, in fact, he prefers to listen to her at work, but unfortunately nothing happened in the first two months.
Her team wasn't on the move, so there wasn't much to talk about.
But when the two returned to the farm to unload,
A beige coupe was driving slowly down the dirt road in front of the farm, which naturally attracted the attention of the two men.
"Looks like we have another neighbor."
Claire said with a smile on her face.
She is kind to people and does not think too badly of people, just like the last time Arias sent someone, she could think that the neighbor had found it......
However, An Jie didn't speak, his eyes were like torches staring at the coupe and he was silent,
Because of the sunset line, it is difficult to see through the glass who is coming.
The next moment, the coupe stopped in front of the farm gate,
A man with short brown hair, wearing a white shirt and long pants, stood in front of the door and waved to the two of them, walking out of the car:
"Uh...... Hello. ”
"Hello."
Claire waved her hand and responded with a smile when she heard this, although the person who came was a stranger,
But she also gives kindness.
However, An Jie was not so polite, staring at each other's faces, and then the two came to the gate to communicate with the visitor at close range.
"Good afternoon, have you seen her?"
When the man saw the two approaching, he immediately took out a photo from his trouser pocket and asked.
Claire took a closer look, and the photo showed a woman with long black hair and a good face.
"You're looking for someone?"
An Jie looked at the other party expressionlessly and asked rhetorically.
The next second, the woman poked his waist with her elbow and asked him to speak well~
"Yes."
The man nodded in acknowledgement, but did not reveal where he came from or what his identity was.
Apparently reserved for strangers.
"I'm sorry, I haven't seen her."
Claire shook her head at this time and said that she had never seen it, after all, she had not been here for a long time, and she still needed to go out to work often.
Now she knows a few of her neighbors.
The man looked disappointed when he heard this, thanked her and took back the photo.
Then he turned around and prepared to leave the place, just as the other party was about to get into the car......
"I've seen it, if I'm not mistaken."
An Jie suddenly replied in the affirmative.
The man's action in getting into the car stopped abruptly, his disappointed look disappeared, and he hurriedly took out another photo, came to the gate of the farm and said:
"Have you really seen her?!"
"Please don't lie to me, she's my wife, who disappeared three years ago."
