Pick up surfboards, shop for professional goods, carry beer and whiskey, buy groceries at the supermarket, get back to the village, unload your goods, head to the beach to clear dangerous items such as glass and branches, and start preparing for an afternoon of surfing practice on the beach.

From the moment Paul arrived in the village, he was busy with his feet, lunch was just a quick solution with a sandwich and a bottle of juice, he and Lan Li didn't even have time to talk and catch up, everything came to their faces, and as for the nap?

Before the work was over, the children had already arrived at the beach one after another and began to help clean up the beach together.

Directly in front of the village is a natural barrier beyond the coastline, the presence of coral reefs and reefs, which keeps out all the danger and turbulence, and for boats, even small fishing boats with a shallow draft, they must be cautious in entering and exiting, and if they are not careful, they may be crushed, and large ships with deep drafts will not be able to dock at all.

Because of this, a natural swimming pool is formed in the area close to the beach -

The fierce waves calm down as they pass through the barrier, which restricts swimmers from getting out easily, and everything is perfect for beginner surfers, except for a little lighter!

Throughout the afternoon, Paul and Lan Li stayed on the beach to escort the children for their first surfing, and the laughter and hearty laughter became a beautiful sight in the dilapidated village, and many of the older children also ran over, secretly observing, refusing to join, but reluctant to leave.

The seemingly deserted small fishing village has become lively at this moment.

When the sunset soaked the whole sky, the world turned into a dazzling and gorgeous peach, even the clear water reflected a large area of pink, magnificent and gorgeous, the sound of the waves became the only sound in the whole world, and the mood calmed down like never before.

The children had already left, but Paul and Lan Li were paddling surfboards, leaving the natural barrier from the small gap in front of the pier, and entering the turbulent sea, in one after another cylindrical waves, spreading their arms and flying wantonly, the cold and cold of winter completely disappeared at this moment, and only one person was left between heaven and earth.

Again and again, enjoy the ultimate tranquility of this moment.

When they returned to the shore, the sunset was still burning at the junction of sea and sky, but the gusts of cold wind that blew on the surface of the skin stimulated a large number of goosebumps, and the two men sat on the beach exhausted and gasped for air.

"Hey, where's my watch, and my wallet, God!" Paul came to his senses and realized that his personal belongings were missing.

Lan Li, who was sitting next to him, looked calm and chuckled, "The documents in the wallet should go back to Antonio, and as for the cash and watches, they shouldn't be able to come back." Hopefully, you don't have too much cash in your wallet, or the thieves of the whole village will be targeting you for some time to come. ”

"No, not much. Cash was less than a hundred dollars. Paul looked left and right again, and after making sure that his belongings were indeed gone, he tasted the natural words of Lan Li's words, "What, you lost your wallet and belongings too?"

"Yes. But the wallets, credit cards and papers came back that night, and Antonio said they were of no use to the children, and if they were strangers, they would just throw them in the trash, but if they were friends of the residents, they would send them back to Antonio's bar. "Lan Li seems to be very familiar with the situation here, and the experience is always impressive.

Immediately, Lan Li paused slightly and chuckled, "Antonio said, those children complain, I'm a miser. ”

Paul looked at him in bewilderment.

Lan Li shrugged his shoulders and explained with a smile, "Because I only have twenty dollars in cash in my wallet, and another two hundred pounds. But the pound was of no use to them, and they returned it intact, in exchange for only twenty dollars. ”

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

"Hitchhiking. Lan Li turned his head and looked at the large area of burning clouds in front of him, burning wantonly above the sea level, spectacular and magnificent, even if he watched it countless times, but every time he watched it, he couldn't help but sigh at the wonder and magnificence of nature, and once again reminded himself of his insignificance, and regained his humble heart at that moment.

"After I left New York, I hitchhiked all the way, without any destination, just followed the direction of the hitchhiker, and when they were willing to take me, I followed them around. I walked a little to the west, then to the south, and finally somehow I came here.

I was sent by a large van to the southernmost pier, where I stayed for the night. I stopped at Antonio's bar and had a great conversation with him, and he asked if I could write a letter for him to smuggle back to Cuba. I said yes, and then, I stayed. ”

The two short sentences, between the understatements, seem to have converged all the grandeur and thrilling, as if they were just expounding on a trivial matter.

But just imagining it in my mind, the amazement and envy can't help but overflow, the kind of wanton and indulgent wandering life, vicissitudes and turbulence, random and free, bumpy and hard, but breaking free from all the shackles of real life, living casually and presumptuously, truly enjoying 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, and 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, so it is better to release all the brilliance at the moment of blooming, as gorgeous as summer flowers. It's like Lan Li, real freedom, pure freedom, that wantonness, enviable, and even more admirable.

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

Do what you can to help those in need. Even if it is small, it is still trying to change the world.

Lan Li shook his head with a chuckle, "No, I don't think so. I was just a passer-by, hurrying by, leaving some hope for their lives, and then I flicked my sleeves and walked away. In fact, this is even more cruel, because before they saw no hope at all, and naturally they had no hope, but now they have to live with an unattainable hope. ”

Paul opened his mouth slightly, revealing a look of surprise, "So what are you going to do? Do you want to stay here forever?"

"Huh. No, it's not. I'm not Martin Luther King, Jr., I don't want to save the world or change society, I just give back what society has given me within the scope of what I can. Lan Li said calmly, and then blinked narrowly, "I'm a selfish guy. ”

This joke also caused Paul to laugh heartily.

"I contacted several refugee organizations in the U.S. through Edith, and they will send special personnel to come and arrange for them to live on. 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 an education. Lan Li explained in detail.

Immediately afterwards, Lan Li shrugged his shoulders slightly, "I don't know if this is the right choice, because it is very likely to ruin the lives of some families, so that they have to be sent back." I can't substitute for their decisions, so I'll let them know before the organizers arrive, and then let them make their own choices and decisions. ”

Lan Li knows that he is not God, and he has no right or obligation to decide the lives of others. Everyone has the right to choose, and everyone must continue to live with their own choices.

Paul nodded in agreement, "That's the best option." Then, after a slight pause, he said, "So, you're not going back to Los Angeles in a short period of time? But I think now, this topic is very stupid. ”

"Haha. Lan Li laughed heartily, "No, I'll go back to Los Angeles." I will leave as soon as the relevant professionals from the refugee organization arrive here. If nothing else, I should be able to make it in time for this year's awards ceremony, otherwise, I think Andy Rodgers would have personally come here and settled accounts with me. ”

Lan Li's cheerfulness and happiness also infected Paul, and the expression between his eyebrows became relaxed, but he still asked solemnly, "Are you okay now?" I mean, after the filming 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 different in what we're good at. Lan Li said solemnly, which made Paul raise his fist, beat Lan Li's arm, and both laughed.

"I'm fine. Lan Li gave an affirmative answer, "Actually, I have never felt so good. You know, everyone always has moments of regret, more or less doubting their choices, whether they made different choices, life will be completely different, after filming this work, I am more certain, maybe I will still torture myself, even life is worse than death, but I will never regret the decision to become an actor. ”
