On July 17, 1989, the sun shone on the land of Wisconsin, and the land that the Indians called "Prairie" finally reached its most beautiful time of the year.The abundance of milk fills almost the entire land with aroma, and for others, the season is also important as they are about to reach a turning point in the first half of their lives.August is the start of college, which means that there is not much time left for young people graduating from high school to have fun.On the farmside, on the road, young people full of youthful energy drove around.Hormonal surges are easy for boys and girls to do romantic things during this time of year, and of course, occasionally they have to bear the bad consequences of passion."
Merlin!
Merlin!
”A black muscle car drove across the road in front of the farm at a speed of 120 mph, and then came to a screeching stop outside the farm.In the car, there were a few girls dressed in cool clothes, shouting towards the farm."
Come and play with us!
Don't always be alone!
You nerd!
”The boy who was driving the car kept honking the horn, alarming the cows on the farm.Moments later, a slightly thin young man in a striped shirt walked out of the garage with a wrench in hand.He has black hair, pale gray eyes, a height of 1.8 meters, and a delicate face.He had black grease stains on his clothes and hands, as if he had just repaired something.He stretched out his hand, blocking out the sunlight above his head, and waved his hand in a friendly manner to the men and women in the car.He shouted, "Go play, I'm still a little busy." ”"Don't do that, Merlin."
One of the girls in the car stood up, and in the midst of the heckling of the others, she shouted in a sweet voice, "Come play with us." ”The other girls also started to make a fuss, and it seemed that Merlin had a good impression in the minds of the girls, but of course, the boys didn't like him very much.The guy driving the car made a "weak explosion" gesture towards Merlin, and then stepped on the accelerator."
Nerd Merlin!
You can play on your own. ”Amid the screams of a young man, the car started at a racco-like pace, and almost in the blink of an eye, it disappeared before Merlin's eyes.Merlin shrugged as his classmates left, not caring about the sarcasm, but turned and walked back to the garage.A moment later, the sound of banging and banging rang out again in the farm.Merlin, a young man, didn't really like hanging out with his silly peers.The boy, who was born with disasters and nightmares, is a little more sedate than his peers.Especially after his family, who was forced to move out of Buffalo County because of some gossip about him, and came to Madison, Merlin knew how to hide himself even more, and he tried not to let himself be the center of attention.He knew that some of the things that happened to him were really hard to explain.Merlin prefers to spend some time with her family rather than spending her time with the girls who dress up and show off.Or simply stay in the garage of your farm and try to fix that classic 1962 red Chevrolet Corvette.He called the car "Lola", as if that beautiful car was his girlfriend.His dad had promised that as long as Merlin could fix it, the cool car would be his.There is no better 18th birthday present for Merlin than Lola, who plans to drive Lola all the way to New York, where he will complete his six-year college life, then become a doctor, find a lover, have a few children, inherit the blood of the Riley family, and spend his life like this."
Merlin!
Can you make a quieter banging sound?
It's only 9 a.m.!
Can't you just let me get a good night's sleep?
Even if it's just for one day!
”The moment Merlin closed the front car cover, the sound of grumbling sounded behind him.Merlin looked back and saw Phil in a baggy T-shirt and jeans, with messy hair and yawning.It was his younger brother, Philip.
J.
Coulson, the son of his adoptive father, James Coulson, was 3 years younger than him and was an excellent high school student."
If you can go to bed on time every day, then you should be here to fix Lola every 9 o'clock morning."
Merlin leaned against Lola's car cover, he lowered the wrench in his hand and reached for the towel.While wiping his hands, he looked at Phil.It wasn't until Phil began to avoid his gaze that Merlin asked, "You didn't come back until 2 o'clock last night, what were you doing?"
”This sharp question made Phil couldn't help but look away, he muttered: "I'm a healthy 15-year-old, I'm handsome, very popular, it's summer vacation again, what do you think I'm going to do?"
Haven't you experienced puberty?
”"Of course I've been there, but apparently my adolescence wasn't as 'passionate' as yours."
Merlin stood up and walked over to Phil, who looked down at his brother who didn't admit defeat.After a moment, he sighed, handed the towel in his hand to Phil, and said, "Wipe the lipstick marks on your neck and don't be seen by your mother, or she'll yell at you again." ”Phil hurriedly took the handkerchief, looked in the mirror, and wiped the three kiss marks on his neck.Merlin stood behind him, looking at his younger brother, and the reflection in the mirror of Phil was a typical white American, he was a little taller than Merlin, with a white and pure face, and the same gray eyes as Merlin, when he pursed his mouth, this face was unexpectedly cold and serious, which also added a lot of points to his eyes in the eyes of those silly girls.Holding the numbers, Phil combed his messy hair into a cool, slightly upturned hairstyle that has been popular in recent years, and then coquettishly applied hairspray to his hair.Behind him, with his arms crossed and a real doctor's temperament, Merlin spoke again: "Use less hairspray, that thing will make you 20% more likely to lose your hair."
And, I'm curious, are you doing a good job of protecting yourself?
”"What was that girl last night?""
Hell!
Don't ask that kind of question. ”This series of questions made Phil a little annoyed, and he turned his head to look at his brother angrily, and said, "I am more experienced than you in these matters, and I don't need you to teach me."
Also, last night's girl was not Stacy, it was Julie, it was the girl who moved to Madison, she was half Nordic, she was very exotic, she liked me very much, I liked her very much, if it went on like this, maybe we would really be together in the future. ”"Wait!"
Merlin interrupted his brother's fantasies, walked to the table in the garage, opened the drawer, searched through a stack of letters, and asked without looking back, "Julie?"
Julie.
Noyce?
It's her, right?
”"yes, how do you know her name?"
Phil looked at his brother curiously, and then saw Merlin turn around with three letters in his hand.The letter smelled of perfume that Phil was familiar with, which made Phil's face look slightly unpleasant."
Of course I know her, my stupid brother."
With a strange smile, Merlin put the letter in his brother's hand, he patted Phil on the shoulder, and whispered, "When she first came to Madison High School, she wrote me 3 love letters, 2 to Jensen, and 2 to Boulder, and other men I don't know, and pretty much all the boys in the entire high school...""
You're not stupid enough to think that such an abusive girl would fall in love with you at first sight, right?
My brother, since you were 13 years old, you've been making the same mistakes and haven't grown. ”Phil's body stiffened slightly, which gave Merlin a hint of warning in his tone."
Phil, I don't want to meddle in your adolescence, but you'd better be restrained.Dad is a high school gym teacher, he's a decent person at school and in the community, don't let Dad get discredited because of some of your bad behaviors, I mean...
Keep your eyes peeled later, understand?
”"That slut!
That damn thing..."
Phil tore the letter in his hand like an agitated young beast, he tried to throw the pieces out of his hand, but Merlin grabbed his wrist, and he said, "No swearing, at home!"

”"Pack up, wipe away your tears, go back to the house and get dressed, today we're going out to eat.It's for my birthday, my brother, and you're not going to be absent, right?
”Phil nodded silently, his eyes red, and it was clear that the young man had once again been hurt by being played with.However, this is the characteristic of young Americans, and no one can escape it.———————————————————— "Okay, let's all be happy, today is the day of the dinner." ”James.
Coulson walked out of the room, he squeezed his eyes at his son as he straightened the bow tie around his neck: "Merlin, the principal told me today that he was going to invite you to speak as an outstanding graduate, you really make me proud, compared to Phil's uneasy boy, you are simply the perfect son."
Speaking of which, are you still Shulora?
Do you want me to help?
It's only half a month before you start school, and you haven't fixed it yet, so maybe you need some wisdom from the elderly. ”"No, Dad."
Merlin, who had changed into a suit of casual clothes, walked to the car, opened the door for his father, helped him into the car, and said to James, "I have changed the engine for Lola, and now there are only a few last steps left, and your precious car is mine." ”"Original engine?"
James' eyes widened, and he looked at his son with a hint of sternness in his eyes: "Where did you get the money?"
You're not going to do something you shouldn't do, are you?
”"I earned it all myself."
Merlin sat in the driver's seat, skillfully lighted the lighter, pulled the reverse disc, and in the rearview mirror, he looked at his parents, and as he drove the car out of the farm, he explained: "I spent the summer months in Rubes' private hospital and worked part-time, although it was not legal until this year, Rubes still paid me more."
Dad, am I a bad boy you can't trust?
”"Of course not."
James hasn't spoken yet, Merlin's mom Anna.
Coulson got up from the back seat, left a kiss mark on the forehead of her proud son, and said to Merlin, "My little Merlin is the best, but you are leaving, and it makes my mother sad." ”Faced with a hint of sadness from his mother, Merlin was about to respond when he caught a glimpse of a figure suddenly appearing in front of the starting car.Although it was only a glance, Merlin could see it clearly.He wears a black suit with an eerie blue cloak and a black gentleman's hat.The brim of the hat was so low that it was impossible to see his face clearly, and he stood in front of the car driven by Merlin, with a smile on his lips, as if he were greeting him.The figure was so clear that Merlin subconsciously stepped on the brakes, and the accelerating car shook violently, knocking Mrs.
Coulson, who was caught off guard, into the back seat, and causing Phil, who was sitting next to Merlin, to slam into the window.The car was almost full of people on their backs."
Hell!"
Phil rubbed his red forehead and yelled at Merlin, "Are you trying to kill me?"
”"No, it's not!
I saw, in front, in front of a person.Wearing a cape, with a hat ...
I see it clearly. ”Merlin held the steering wheel sluggishly, his heart suddenly beating fast, he explained in a little panic, but Phil turned his head to look ahead, in front of the car, there was no one at all."
You're crazy!
Merlin. ”Phil screamed, "There's no one there!"
”"Phil!
Shut up!
”James saw the nervousness on his son's face, it didn't seem to be fake, and the middle-aged man remembered the dark rumors about Merlin's life that circulated in Buffalo County back then.Legend has it that Merlin was an unfortunate man who killed his parents at birth, and that anyone who came into contact with him would be doomed.Because of those vicious attacks, the Coulsons had to move to Madison 15 years ago.Merlin's expression made James a little nervous, and he immediately opened the car door and walked to the front of the car.But after repeated searches, there was no one there, not even footprints."
Nobody, Merlin, you're probably dazzled."
James looked left and right, and after repeatedly confirming that there was nothing abnormal, he sat back in the car and comforted Merlin and his wife.Then he shouted to Phil, who was muttering, "Phil, you come and drive, let your brother rest." ”"But I'm only 15 years old, and you're not saying that 15-year-olds can't...""
Shut up!
Let you open, you will open!
It's time to go to dinner, don't be late. ”Under James's scolding, Phil was not angry, but drove away in high spirits, as a boy who grew up on the farm, Phil's driving skills are still very good.But in the midday sun, as the car left the farm and drove towards the restaurant, Merlin, who had switched places with Fin, could see the figure in a blue cloak and a hat every time he looked out the window.The figure was watching him...
The figure was conveying something to him that didn't require words or gestures to explain.Merlin could read what he meant.The sun shone on the land, but Merlin fell like a cave in ice.Yes, he lied.He wasn't ignorant of his parents' deaths, and he wasn't without memories of the fire that destroyed the Riley family a month after his birth...
He recognized the figure, and he remembered it well, when his parents died, the figure appeared.He hadn't been seen for 18 years, so long that Merlin himself thought it was an illusory memory, but it wasn't.Not fantasy, but reality.Are there really devils or angels in the world?
No one knows, but today, Merlin does...
It doesn't matter who that thing is, no matter what it represents...
He...
Come to him.()
