1184 Return to purity
Select surfboards and purchase related professional items; carry beer and whiskey, go to the supermarket to buy daily necessities; return to the village, unload the goods, go to the beach to clean dangerous items such as glass and branches, and start practicing surfing on the beach in the afternoon prepare.
From the moment Paul arrived in this village, he was busy without touching the ground. Lunch was just a quick sandwich and a bottle of juice. He and Renly didn't even have time to talk and reminisce, everything happened non-stop. Come on, as for taking a nap? That's just a daydream.
Before everything at hand was over, the children had already arrived at the beach one after another and began to help clean up the beach..
There is a natural barrier outside the coastline directly in front of the village. The existence of coral reefs and reefs blocks all dangers and surges. For ships, even small fishing boats with shallow drafts must be cautious when entering and leaving. If you are not careful, you may be shattered to pieces, and it is impossible for a large ship with a deep draft to reach the shore..
Because of this, a natural swimming pool is formed near the beach.——
The ferocious waves gradually became calmer after passing through the barrier; and the existence of the barrier restricted swimmers from easily going out. For surfing beginners, everything was perfect except that the waves were a little smaller.！
Throughout the afternoon, Paul and Renly stayed on the beach, escorting the children for their first surfing. The cheerful and bustling laughter became a beautiful scenery of the dilapidated village, and many older children also They ran over one after another, observing secretly, refusing to join, but reluctant to leave..
The seemingly deserted and abandoned fishing village turned out to be very lively at this moment..
The evening glow soaked into the entire sky, and the world turned into a dazzling and gorgeous pink. Even the clear sea water reflected large tracts of pink, magnificent and gorgeous, and the sound of crashing waves became the only sound in the whole world. The sound made me feel calmer than ever before.
The children had already left, but Paul and Renly paddled their surfboards, leaving the natural barrier through the small gap in front of the pier and entering the turbulent sea, amidst one huge barrel wave after another. , open your arms and fly freely, the coldness and desolation of winter completely disappear at this moment, leaving you alone between heaven and earth..
Again and again, enjoying this moment of ultimate tranquility.
When they returned to the shore, the sunset was still blazing at the junction of the sea and the sky, but the cold wind that blew in stimulated a large number of goosebumps on the surface of the skin. The two of them sat on the beach exhausted and took a big sip. Breathing heavily.
“Hey, where's my watch? And my wallet? God! "After coming back to his senses, Paul realized that his personal belongings were nowhere to be found..
Renly, who was sitting next to him, looked calm and chuckled, "The documents in the wallet should be returned to Antonio, but the cash and watch should not be returned. I hope you don't have too much cash in your wallet. Otherwise, thieves in the entire village will target you in the next period of time..”
“No, not much. There is only less than a hundred dollars in cash." Paul looked around again, and after confirming that his belongings were indeed gone, he realized the matter-of-factness of Renly's words, "Why, your wallet and Items are also lost？”
“Yes. But the wallet, credit card and ID came back that night. Antonio said that these things were of no use to the children. If they belonged to strangers, they would throw them directly in the trash can; but if they belonged to residents and friends , they will send it back to Antonio's bar." Renly seems to be very familiar with the various situations here, and personal experience is always impressive..
Then Renly paused for a moment and chuckled, "Antonio said, those children complained that I was a miser..”
Paul cast a puzzled look.
Renly shrugged and explained with a smile, "Because I only have twenty dollars in cash and two hundred pounds in my wallet. But the pounds are of no use to them. They will return them intact. In exchange for In other words, their harvest was only twenty dollars.”
“Ha ha! After Paul was stunned for a moment, he couldn't help but clapped his hands and laughed, "God, this is really a wonderful place. How did you get here?"？”
“Take a ride." Renly turned his head and looked at the large fire clouds in front of him, burning wantonly above the sea level. It was spectacular and magnificent. Even though he had watched it countless times, he still couldn't help but sigh every time he watched it. I admire the wonder and magnificence of nature, and remind myself again of my own insignificance, rediscovering that moment of humility..
“After leaving New York, I hitchhiked all the way without any destination. I just followed the direction of the hitchhiker and saw how far they were willing to take me, so I wandered with them. First I walked towards the west side for a while, and then towards the South side, I don’t know how I ended up here in the end.
The truck that sent me here was a large truck heading to the southernmost pier, where I stayed for one night. I stopped at Antonio's bar and had a good chat with him. He asked me if I could write a letter for him. Through smuggling channels, I was sent back to Cuba. I agreed, and then I stayed..”
These two short sentences, with their understatement, seem to have contained all the magnificence and thrills, just as if they were explaining an insignificant thing..
But just imagining it in my mind, wonder and envy can't help but overflow. That kind of wanton and indulgent wandering life, vicissitudes and turmoil, casual and free, bumpy and difficult, but breaks away from all the constraints of real life. , live freely and freely, truly enjoying the pure vitality.
Some people are suitable for a comfortable life, some yearn for a wandering life, some enjoy a wandering life, and some dream of a luxurious life. Everyone has a different definition of happiness..
If you clearly understand your inner pursuit, then bravely let go, because life is only once, as short as fireworks, and will disappear before it blooms. Then, it is better to release all the brilliance at the moment of blooming, like summer flowers. Gorgeous. Just like Renly, true freedom, pure freedom, and wantonness are enviable and even more admirable..
The sea breeze brought the sound of waves, quiet and peaceful. Paul couldn't help but slowly relax. The hard work and fatigue during the journey were washed away in an instant, "You know, what you are doing now is very remarkable.".”
Try your best to help those in need. Even if it is small and weak, you are still trying to change the world..
Renly shook his head with a chuckle, "No, I don't think so. I'm just a passerby, passing by in a hurry, leaving some hope in their lives, and then I flick my sleeves and leave directly. In fact, , this is even more cruel, because before they could not see hope at all, and naturally they had no expectations; now they must hold on to an unattainable hope and endure life..”
Paul opened his mouth slightly, showing a look of surprise, "Then what are you going to do? Do you want to stay here forever?"？”
“Ha. No, it's not. I'm not Martin Luther King. I don't want to save the world or change society. I just give back what society has given me within my own ability." Renly said calmly. Said, and then blinked narrowly, "I am a selfish guy.”
This joke also made Paul laugh happily..
“Through Edith, I contacted several refugee organizations in the United States. They will send specialized personnel to arrange their follow-up life. Not only to fight for the opportunity to stay in the United States legally, but also to provide education opportunities for the children. " Renly explained in detail.
Then Renly shrugged lightly, "I don't know if this is the right choice, because it may very well ruin the lives of some families, so that they have to be sent back. I can't decide for them, So, before the organizers arrive, I will inform them of the news and then let them make their own choices and decisions.”
Renly knew that he was not God, and he had no right or obligation to decide the lives of others. Everyone has the right to choose, and everyone must carry on living with their own choices..
Paul suddenly understood and nodded in agreement, "This is the best choice." Then, he paused for a moment, and then said, "So, you don't plan to go back to Los Angeles in a short time? Now everyone in the circle is here There are rumors that you may miss this year's Oscars. But now I feel that this topic is very stupid..”
“Haha." Renly laughed heartily, "No, I will go back to Los Angeles. I will leave after the relevant professionals from the refugee organization arrive here. If nothing else, I should be able to make it to this year's awards ceremony, otherwise , I think Andy Rogers will personally commit suicide here to settle the score with me..”
Renly's joy and happiness also infected Paul, and the expression between his brows became relaxed, but he still asked solemnly, "Are you okay now? I mean, the filming of that work is over. Afterwards, you look really bad, even a bad actor like me can tell..”
“Hey, man, don't say you're a bad actor, it's just that we are good at different areas." Renly said seriously, which made Paul raise his fist, hit Renly's arm, and both laughed..
“I'm fine." Renly gave an affirmative answer, "In fact, I have never felt so good. You know, everyone always has moments of regret, more or less doubting whether they have made the choices they have made. After making different choices, life will be completely different; after filming this work, I am more sure that maybe I will still torture myself, and even live worse than death, but I will never regret the decision to become an actor.”
