The novel "The Witcher" can be said to be full of tension from the beginning, and the rhythm of the story in it is so wonderful that you can't help but want to read the end in one breath, and you don't want to stop halfway to take a break.

So Tom and his father Milton are holding the book, keeping one movement, flipping through the pages, completely ignoring the time and the hunger in the stomach, the book in front is like a fascinated hook , Hook them tightly, and never let go until they finish watching.

When mother Uma came back, the lunch he had prepared for the two of them was the same as before she left the house. It could be said that it hadn’t been touched at all. Even judging from the layout of the kitchen and dining room, the two of them had been together since she left. Just entered the room and never came out, as if possessed by a demon.

When she walked into the room, she saw her husband Milton was lowering his head, frowning slightly because it was getting dark, but he forgot to turn on the desk lamp that was close at hand. She walked over and turned on the desk lamp, and Milton followed the trend He leaned closer to the range covered by the light of the desk lamp, and continued to look at it without saying a word.

Seeing that the book in her husband's hand still had quite a few pages, thinking that he hadn't eaten or moved for seven or eight hours, she took the book from his hand and closed it, saying, "Let's read it after dinner." , how long have you been watching it?"

"When is it?" Milton, who was immersed in the world in the book and didn't realize it, raised his head and said in a hoarse voice until the book was taken away from his hand.

"You'll know if you look outside. Go and eat your meal before reading. Anyway, the book has arrived. I'll ask Tom to come out to eat too." Uma pointed to the almost completely dark night outside the window and said helplessly.

"Ha, it's been so long?" Milton sighed softly as he looked out of the almost completely dark window. He remembered that he started to sit down around [-]:[-] noon. As a result, I was not satisfied after reading it, and started to read it from the beginning again, and only then did I see the present.

Looking at the book on the table, because I had roughly read the subsequent chapters before, and knew that there was still the plot of the wizard vs. evil god that I hadn’t read, I felt a little itchy in my heart, but my stomach was beating and told him, I’d better go first. Let's talk after dinner.

So he could only hold back his desire, stood up his body that was about to become stiff, stretched himself, and walked out of the room.It happened that his son who was unhappy was being pulled out of the room by his wife.

"Hey, Dad, where did you see it?" After seeing his father, Tom's eyes lit up, and he opened his mouth to chat with his father regardless of the novel confiscated by his mother.

"I saw the confrontation between Thord and the Wizarding Union, but I have already watched the subsequent plot, it is very exciting!!!" Milton said happily with his thumbs up. The two father and son are like a pair of friends. generation gap.

"Hey, don't give me any spoilers. I'm very curious about this battle. I want to read the rest by myself." Tom reads books slower than his father, and he reads books from the beginning to the beginning, so this The progress at that time was only about the same as that of Milton, and he stopped immediately when he saw his father wanting to spoil it.

Milton chuckled, but he didn't deliberately spoil it. Instead, he talked about the previous plot with Tom. The two walked to the restaurant while chatting. Seeing that the two father and son were chatting happily, Uma did not stop him Instead, go to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

So from the time when she walked out of the room to the time after dinner, Uma could only helplessly watch the two father and son talking happily, without a chance to interject a word, and inexplicably wondered whether she should go and have a look.

She is a traditional woman, she likes soap operas and some bloody romance movies, she doesn't have much interest in war and horror movies that men like, that's why it's been so long, even if her son and husband are fascinated, she hasn't gone The reason to look.

But seeing that because of this novel, she is becoming more and more marginalized at home, so for the sake of family harmony, she decided to read it tomorrow after the two go to work and school. Anyway, she usually watches morning soap operas. It is also good to read novels, so that when the husband comes home at night, we can have a common topic with them.

While thinking about it, she cleaned up the dining table and the dishes. As for her husband and son, after dinner, they returned to the room and continued to read the unfinished novel.

After cleaning up the kitchen, when she got to the room, she saw that the two of them were frowning and immersed in the novel. They didn't notice her appearance at all, so she went back to the living room, turned on the TV and watched American dramas.

There were no good dramas on weekends, and it was originally time for her husband and son to watch the game, but today it was rare that there was no competition, she changed the channel in a bored way, and looked at it casually, and it took two hours to watch.

When she returned to the room again, Milton finally didn't ignore her this time, but looked up at her and said, "Help me press my shoulders, I'm a bit stiff after sitting for too long."

"Who made you watch so hard that you completely forgot the time." Uma sighed, complained a little, let him lie on the bed and sat on him to help him pinch his stiff muscles, after all Milton has to go to work tomorrow.

"Don't talk about me, Tom is more obsessed than I am." Milton babbled, and argued on the bed. In fact, he is really not to blame. If it weren't for the novel's plots followed by waves without rest time, why Let him sit for a day without feeling at all.

"Hey, it's nothing more than half a catty." Uma curled her lips and complained, but her hands started to massage him as usual.

After reading a novel for a day, under the comfortable massage of his wife, he snored and fell asleep after a while.

Uma got off him, covered him with the quilt, then turned off the lights in the room, and went out to remind the son who was still watching that it was time to put it away. After all, tomorrow was Monday and he had to get up early to catch the school bus.

But she also knows that this is not very helpful, let alone Tom, just look at her grown-up husband. When he is immersed in the book, he can't stop until he finishes reading it. Fortunately, the two of them started reading it at noon. , and now it is coming to an end, and it should be finished in half an hour.

In fact, reading this novel should still be very energetic. You can tell from the fact that my husband snores everywhere when he lies in bed. After all, reading a novel requires full dedication. When you see a tense plot, your muscles will be tense, and your mood will be tense. It will also change with the changes of the plot, and it will be exhausting for a day to see it.

The next day, after seeing off the father and son, Uma made a pot of coffee for herself after finishing the housework, walked into the room with it, took out the novel that her husband Milton had opened from the bookshelf, and sat down. Zai Lai watched quietly in the autumn light.

Originally, she thought this was a boring traditional fantasy novel about knights and mages, and she thought it would be good to just read it casually to get a general idea, but she didn't expect that not only the writing style of the novel is extremely good, far higher than similar works, but also the plot is compact and high-spirited. , Wave after wave did not mean to stop at all.

At night, when Milton came back from the company, he didn't see his wife busy at home as usual. The whole house was eerily quiet and dark, "Did he go out for something? ' he murmured to himself.

Turned on the answering machine, only heard the voice of his son, saying that he was going to a reunion at a classmate's house today, and he would be back later, and there was no information about his wife. He was full of doubts and entered the room with his briefcase, ready to change his clothes first. Then call and ask some of my wife's friends what happened.

As soon as he turned on the light, he saw a person sitting in front of the desk with his head lowered and his eyes fixed on the book, motionless. He walked over and found that the book his wife was holding was exactly the one he was reading yesterday. A book, suddenly a little ironic.

"Hey! Hey!" Milton yelled, tapping his finger on the table.

Uma, who was awakened suddenly, looked at her husband in confusion, and was about to ask him why he came back again, and whether he didn't bring anything, but found that it was already dark, and then realized that he was fascinated by reading novels, I forgot the time, didn't even eat lunch, and didn't prepare dinner.

She hurriedly stood up, and said in a somewhat confused way, "I'll make dinner, it will be ready soon."

Milton grabbed Uma who was running around the room like a headless fly, and said helplessly, "You've been watching for too long, take a rest first, let's call fast food tonight."

Then he remembered something, and asked his wife, "Have you had lunch?"

Uma shook her head shyly and said, "I sat down shortly after you went to work in the morning. I didn't expect to see it at this moment. No wonder you read it so fascinated yesterday. This novel is really wonderful."

"Haha, that's what I said." As soon as Milton stopped his wife from mentioning this, he also became interested, and led her to discuss it.

In the middle, the two ordered takeaway, and then Milton began to describe the identity of Adam Baker, the author of Uma Cop, and the novel "Jurassic Park" written by him. Of course, these are all from his son. What Tom learned from his mouth was brought to his wife for popular science at this time.

Then the two began to discuss the settings of the various characters in the novel "The Witcher". Because Uma has actually read the same, so there is not much hindrance between the two of them communicating about the plot.

Compared with Milton's instinctive love for the protagonist, Uma, who is more emotional, loves the dark wizard prince Andre Thord who triggers the final tragic ending of all the plots in the novel.

The two sparked a series of disputes, and there are many others in California who have such disputes over the plot.However, when the novel was officially put on the shelves and completely sold to the outside world, the discussion on fantasy novels once again set off a round of climax in the United States.
