Select surfboards and buy related professional goods; Carrying beer and whisky, going to the supermarket to buy daily necessities; Return to the village, unload the goods, go to the beach to clean up dangerous goods such as glass and branches, and start preparing for the afternoon surfing practice on the beach.
Since Paul arrived in the village, he has been busy. Lunch is just a sandwich and a bottle of juice. He and Langley don't even have time to talk and talk about the past. Everything comes to us incessantly. As for siesta? It's just daydreaming.
Before everything was over, the children arrived at the beach one after another and began to help clean the beach together.
There is a natural barrier outside the coastline directly in front of the village. The existence of coral reefs and hidden reefs blocks all dangers and surges. For ships, even small fishing boats with shallow draught must be careful in going in and out. If they don't pay attention, they may break into pieces, while big ships with deep draught can't reach the shore at all.
Because of this, the area near the beach forms a natural swimming pool——
The ferocious tide gradually calmed down after passing through the barrier; And the existence of barriers limits swimmers' easy going out. For beginners of surfing, everything is perfect except that the waves are a little smaller!
All afternoon, Paul and Langley both stayed on the beach to escort the children's first surfing. The hilarious laughter became a beautiful scenery in the dilapidated village. Many older children came to watch secretly, refused to join, but did not give up.
The abandoned fishing village, which seems deserted and uninhabited, becomes very lively at this moment.
When the sunset penetrated the whole sky, the world became a dazzling and gorgeous pink, even the clear water reflected large pink, magnificent and gorgeous, the roaring waves became the only sound in the whole world, and the mood was calmed down unprecedentedly.
The children had already left, but Paul and Langley rowed their surfboards, left the natural barrier from the small gap in front of the wharf, and entered the turbulent sea. In one big barrel wave after another, they spread their arms and flew freely. At this moment, the cold and bleak of winter completely disappeared, leaving only themselves alone between heaven and earth.
Over and over again, enjoying the ultimate peace of the moment.
When they returned to the shore, the sunset was still burning at the junction of the sea and the sky, but the gusts of cold wind irritated a large area of goose bumps on the surface of their skin. They sat on the beach exhausted and gasped heavily.
"Hey, where's my watch? And my wallet? God After returning to God, Paul found that his personal belongings could not be found.
Lan Li, who was sitting next to him, was calm and chuckled. "The documents in his wallet should go back to Antonio, but the cash and watches should not. I hope you don't have too much cash in your wallet, or the thieves in the whole village will be targeting you for a while
"No, not much. There's less than a hundred dollars in cash. " Paul looked around again to make sure that his belongings had disappeared. Then he tasted the natural meaning in the words of Langley, "how come you lost your wallet and belongings?"
"Yes. But the wallets, credit cards and documents came back that night. Antonio said that these things were useless to the children. If they were strangers, they would just throw them in the garbage can; But if it's a resident friend's, they'll send it back to Antonio's bar. " Lanli seems to be very familiar with the situation here, and his personal experience is always impressive.
Then, Langley stopped for a moment and chuckled. "Said Antonio. The children complained that I was a miser."
Paul cast his eyes in bewilderment.
Langley shrugged and explained with a smile, "because I only have twenty dollars in cash and two hundred pounds in my wallet. But the pound is of no use to them. It's returned intact. In other words, they get only twenty dollars. "
"Ha ha!" Paul was a little stunned. Then he clapped his hands and laughed. "God, this is a wonderful place. How on earth did you get here? "
"Free ride." Lan Li turned his head and looked at the huge fire clouds in front of him. They were burning wantonly on the sea level. They were magnificent and magnificent. Even though he watched them countless times, he could not help sighing the wonder and magnificence of nature every time. He reminded himself of his smallness and regained his humble heart at that moment.
"After I left New York, I hitchhiked all the way without any destination. I just followed the direction of the hitchhike and saw how far they were willing to take me. First, he walked to the west, then to the south, and finally came here.
It was a large truck that sent me to the southernmost wharf and stayed here for one night. I stopped at Antonio's bar and had a good talk with him. He asked if I could write a letter for him and send it back to Cuba through smuggling channels. I said yes, and then I stayed. "
Two short sentences, between understatement, seem to be all the magnificent and thrilling convergence up, just to elaborate a trivial thing.
But just imagine it in my mind, I can't help but marvel and envy. That kind of wanton and indulgent wandering life, vicissitudes and turbulence, random and free, bumpy and hard, has broken away from all the shackles of real life, lived wantonly, and really enjoyed the pure vitality.
Some people are suitable for the comfortable life, some people yearn for the vagrant life, some people enjoy the vagrant life, some people dream of luxury life, everyone's definition of happiness is different.
If you clearly understand your inner pursuit, then bravely let go, because life is only once, as short as fireworks, and it has disappeared before it blooms. So, it's better to release all the brilliance at the moment of bloom, as gorgeous as summer flowers. Just like Lan Li, the real freedom, the pure freedom, the wanton, enviable and admirable.
The sea breeze brought the sound of the waves, quiet and serene, Paul could not help but slowly relax down, the journey of hard and tired all washed away in an instant, "you know, what you are doing is very great."
Try your best to help those who are in trouble. Even if it's tiny, it's still trying to change the world.
Lan Li shook his head with a smile. "No, I don't think so. I'm just a passer-by, passing by in a hurry, leaving some hope for their life, then I'll shake my sleeves and leave directly. In fact, it's even more cruel, because they didn't see any hope before, so they didn't expect it; Now we have to live with an impossible hope. "
Paul opened his mouth slightly, looking surprised. "What are you going to do? Do you want to stay here all the time? "
"Ha. No, it's not. I'm not Martin Luther King. I don't want to save the world or change the society. I just give back what the society has given me within my ability. " "I'm a selfish guy," lenley said calmly, then blinked
This joke also made Paul laugh happily.
"I contacted several refugee organizations in the United States through Edith, and they will send special personnel to arrange follow-up life for them. Not only to fight for the opportunity to stay in the United States legally, but also to get education for children. " Langley explained in detail.
Then lenley shrugged. "I don't know if it's the right choice, because it's likely to ruin the lives of some families, so that they have to be sent back. I can't take the place of what they decide, so I'll tell them the news before the organization arrives, and then they make their own choices and decisions. "
Lanli knew that he was not God, and he had no right or obligation to decide other people's lives. Everyone has the right to choose, and everyone must continue to live with his own choice.
Paul suddenly nodded in agreement, "this is the best choice." Then, after a pause, he said, "so, in a short time, you're not going back to Los Angeles? Now there are rumors in the circle that you may miss this year's Oscars. But now I feel that this topic is very stupid. "
"Ha ha." "No, I'll go back to Los Angeles. I will leave when the relevant professionals from the refugee organization arrive here. If there is no accident, I should be able to catch up with this year's award ceremony, otherwise, I think Andy Rogers should commit suicide here and settle with me. "
Blue Li's joy and happiness also infected Paul, the look between the eyebrows became relaxed, but still solemnly asked, "are you ok now? I mean, after the shooting of that work, you look really bad. Even a bad actor like me can feel it. "
"Hey, man, don't say you're a bad actor, it's just that we're good at different fields." He said solemnly, which made Paul raise his fist, beat his arm, and both of them laughed.
"I'm fine." "In fact, I've never felt so good. You know, everyone always has a moment of regret, more or less doubt their own choice, whether to make a different choice, life will be different; After shooting this work, I am more sure that maybe I will still torture myself, or even die, but I will never regret my decision to become an actor. "
