One Thousand One Hundred and Eighty-Four Return to Pure

Pick up surfboards, buy related professional items; carry beer and whisky, go to the supermarket to buy daily necessities; return to the village, unload the goods, go to the beach to clean up dangerous items such as glass and branches, and start practicing on the beach for the afternoon surfing prepare.

Since Paul arrived in the village, he has been busy without touching his feet. Lunch is just a quick fix with a sandwich and a bottle of juice. He and Renly don't even have time to talk and catch up. Come on, as for the nap? That's just a daydream.

Before the things in hand were all over, the children had already arrived at the beach one after another and began to help clean up the beach together.

There is a natural barrier beyond the coastline directly in front of the village. The existence of coral reefs and reefs blocks all dangers and turbulence. For boats, even small fishing boats with shallow drafts must be careful when entering and leaving. If you're not careful, you can be shattered, and a big ship with a deep draft can't be docked at all.

It is because of this that the area near the beach forms a natural swimming pool——

The fierce wave gradually calmed down after rushing through the barrier; and the existence of the barrier restricted the easy access of swimmers. For beginner surfers, except for the smaller waves, everything was perfect!

All afternoon, Paul and Renly stayed on the beach, escorting the children's first surfing. The giggling and bustling hearty laughter became a beautiful scenery of the dilapidated village, and many older children also They all ran over, secretly observing, refusing to join, but reluctant to leave.

The seemingly deserted and abandoned fishing village has become very lively at this moment.

When the evening glow soaked the whole sky, the world turned into a dazzling and gorgeous pink, and even the clear sea water reflected large swathes of pink, magnificent and splendid. The sound calmed down like never before.

The children had already left, but Paul and Renly were paddling their surfboards, leaving the natural barrier from the small gap in front of the pier and entering the turbulent sea, one after another in the huge barrel waves. , opened his arms and flew recklessly, the bitterness and desolation of the cold winter completely disappeared at this moment, and there was only one person left between heaven and earth.

Time and time again, I enjoy this moment of extreme tranquility.

When they returned to the shore, the sunset was still burning at the junction of the sea and the sky, but the cold wind that blew a lot of goose bumps on the surface of the skin, and the two of them sat on the beach exhausted. Breathing heavily.

"Hey,

Where's my watch? And my wallet? God! "After regaining his senses, Paul realized that his personal belongings could not be found.

Renly, who was sitting next to him, looked calm and chuckled, "The documents in your wallet should be returned to Antonio, but the cash and watches should not be returned. I hope you don't have too much cash in your wallet, Otherwise, the thieves in the whole village will target 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 indeed disappeared, and then he tasted the naturalness in Renly's words, "What, your wallet And the items are also lost?"

"Yeah. But wallets, credit cards and IDs came back that night," Antonio said. "These things are of no use to those kids. If it's a stranger's, they just throw it in the trash; but if it's a resident friend. Yes, they'll be sent back to Antonio's bar." Renly seemed to know everything here, and the experience was always impressive.

Immediately, Renly paused for a moment and chuckled, "Antonio said, those children complained that I was a miser."

Paul cast his eyes in confusion.

Renly shrugged and explained with a smile, "Because I only have twenty dollars in cash in my wallet, and another two hundred pounds. But the pounds are of no use to them, and they are returned as they are, in exchange for In other words, they only got twenty dollars."

"Haha!" Paul clapped his hands and laughed after being stunned for a while. "God, this is such a wonderful place. How did you get here?"

"Ride the wind." Ren Li turned his head and looked at the huge fiery cloud in front of him, burning recklessly above the sea level. It was spectacular and magnificent. Even after watching it countless times, every time he watched it, he couldn't help it. Sighing at the wonder and grandeur of nature, and reminding myself of my insignificance again, I regained my humble heart at that moment.

"After leaving New York, I hitchhiked all the way, without any destination, I just followed the direction of the hitchhiker, and to see how far they were willing to take me, I wandered with them. I walked for a while to the west, and then to the I went to the south side, and finally I didn't know why I came here.

It was a large truck that sent me over to the southernmost pier, where I stayed for one night. I stopped at Antonio's bar and had a nice chat with him, and he asked if I could help him write a letter to send back to Cuba through the smuggling channel. I said yes, and then I stayed. "

The short two sentences, between the understatement, seem to condense all the magnificent and thrilling, just as if they were explaining a trivial matter.

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 turbulence, random and free, bumpy and hard, but break free from all the shackles of real life , to live unrestrainedly, and truly enjoy the pure vitality.

Some people are suitable for a comfortable life, some people yearn for a wandering life, some people enjoy a wandering life, and some people dream of a luxurious life. Everyone's definition of happiness is different.

If you clearly understand your inner pursuit, then bravely let go of your hands and feet, because life is only once, as short as fireworks, and it will disappear before it blooms. Then, it is better to release all the brilliance at the moment of bloom, like summer flowers. splendid. Just like Renly, true freedom, pure freedom, that kind of wantonness is enviable and even more admirable.

The sea breeze brought the sound of the waves, which was quiet and serene. Paul couldn't help but slowly relax, and the hard work and exhaustion during the journey were washed away in an instant, "You know, what you are doing now is amazing."

Do your best to help those in need. Even if it is small and weak, it is 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, giving them some hope in their lives, then just tossing my sleeves and leaving. , this is even more cruel, because before they could not see hope at all, and naturally they had no hope; now they must hold on to an unfulfilled hope and endure life.”

Paul opened his mouth slightly, showing a surprised look, "Then what are you going to do? Do you want to stay here forever?"

"Ha. No, no. I'm not Martin Luther King. I don't want to save the world or change society. I'm just giving back to me what society has given me and giving it back to the best of my ability." Renly calmly said, and then winked narrowly, "I'm a selfish guy."

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 be able to give children the opportunity to get education ." Renly explained in detail.

Then Renly shrugged slightly, "I don't know if this was the right choice, because it's likely to ruin the lives of some families to the point that they'll have to be sent back. I can't decide for them, So, before the organizers arrive, I will give them the news and they will make their own choices and decisions."

Renly knew that he was not God, and that he had no right or duty to determine the lives of others. Everyone has the right to choose, and everyone must continue to live with their own choices.

Paul suddenly realized that he nodded and agreed, "This is the best choice." Then, the words paused for a while, and then said, "So, in a short time, you don't plan to go back to Los Angeles? Now everyone in the circle is in Rumor has it that you might miss the Oscars this year. But now I think it's a very stupid topic."

"Haha." Renly laughed heartily, "No, I'll go back to Los Angeles. Once the relevant professionals from the refugee organization arrive here, I'll leave. If nothing else, I should be able to make it to this year's awards ceremony. Otherwise, I think Andy Rodgers would kill himself here and settle the account with me."

Renly's joy and happiness also infected Paul, and the expression between his eyebrows became lighter, but he still asked solemnly, "Are you okay now? I mean, the filming of that work is over. After that, you looked really bad, even a bad actor like me could feel it."

"Hey man, don't call yourself a bad actor, it's just that we're different in our fields," Renly said solemnly, which made Paul raise his fist, smack Renly's arm, and both smile. stand up.

"I'm fine," Renly answered in the affirmative. "Actually, I've never felt so good. You know, everyone has moments of regret, more or less doubts about their choices, whether After making different choices, life will be completely different; after filming this work, I am more certain that maybe I will still torture myself, or even die, but I will never regret being an actor. Decide."
