Mei Xu watched Zhao Xiao install half a bucket of seawater at this time, "It turns out that seawater is needed to build a castle." ”

Zhao Xiao'an sat back by the fire and explained: "If you want to build a good castle, then the ratio of sand and water is very important. Too little and the sand won't form; Too much and the sand will be lost. ”

"I haven't played it before, so—" Mio blushed slightly, even more so in the light of the fire.

"It's okay, I'll teach you." Zhao Xiaoan took out the shovel and another big bucket at this time, and slowly shoveled the sand into the bucket.

Seeing this, Mio also came over to help.

Soon a large vat of sand was filled.

Zhao Xiaoan poured it next to the fire.

Dig up another bucket...

Soon, a total of four buckets of sand were completed with the cooperation of the two.

Poured them on the four corners of the sand, and at this time the two of them were already sweating a little, and this work was not easy.

Then the two of them slowly moved the sand piled up in the four corners with their hands, placed it, and gently polished it.

By this time, the foundations of the castle had been laid, and the most important thing was the careful design of the middle part, including the bricks and tiles, the uneven and convex walls of the castle walls, and the pointed top of the castle.

A thousand miles of embankment collapsed in an anthill.

There must be no omission in any part, otherwise all the previous efforts will be wasted.

Water is poured over the sand, shaped by hand, pressed and sanded.

The two of them quietly piled up the castle, as if they had a soul in their hearts, repeating those movements, ten times, a hundred times.

The general appearance of the castle has taken shape.

"Mio, is it fun?"

"I think it's funny." Mio concentrated, looking very satisfied.

"Did you play with sand before?"

"Yes, there used to be sand piles in the park, my sister and I played, but I felt that the sand seemed to be endowed with a soul, and every time I carved and polished it carefully, it was very rewarding, and it was fun to play together... It's just that when you grow up, you don't have a chance. ”

Zhao Xiaoan could hear a little loneliness in Meixu's voice, how could he not have such a time, but it was quite short.

When he and Zhao Xiaolong played with the sand, he went to play with his sister on the side after playing for two minutes every time...

"There's one last point, come on." Zhao Xiaoan worked hard to polish the top of the castle and gently rubbed it with his hands.

Mio carefully retouches the angular areas.

Another three or five minutes later, Zhao Xiaoan and Mei Xu leaned back at the same time and sat on the beach, already sweating profusely.

Feel the cool sea breeze, brush off the sweat, and admire the castle they built together.

The castle is about one meter tall and nearly two square meters.

Not only the pointed roof, but also the windows and corridors are also meticulously detailed.

Although not particularly perfect, there are slight imperfections in some places.

But after all, it was built by two people themselves.

Sitting on both sides of the fire, watching the people dancing in the flames, twisting lightly.

Just sat quietly opposite each other, and no one was silent.

I don't know how long it took.

"Xiao An, can I take a picture of the castle?" Mio said as she looked at the flame villain.

"Absolutely." Even if Mio doesn't bring it up, he himself wants to record these bits and pieces, after all, this is a memory that belongs to the two of them alone.

Zhao Xiaoan took the camera out of his backpack, set it up next to the fire, and aimed it at the castle and the little beauty.

"Come along." Mio chuckled.

"Can I do it too?"

"After all, you have a share of the credit."

Zhao Xiaoan set the camera to count down and hurriedly sat in front of the castle, and Mio sat on the other side of the castle.

The fire is behind the castle, and the various colors of light make the castle shine.

Mio smiled slightly, hugged her knees and looked at the camera; Zhao Xiaoan just looked at the sea very indifferently.

3、2、1...

The "click" sound is an eternal memory frozen at that moment.

Zhao Xiaoan took out the photo and gave it to Mio.

Although the light is very dim and there are some dark shadows, the outline and details of the castle are mostly visible.

"Mio, it's not too early, we have to hurry up." Although Zhao Xiaoan was a little reluctant to be here, he didn't know what he would encounter later, so it was not a bad thing to rush to the fishing village early.

Mio stood up and gently brushed the sand off her clothes.

The two spread their wings, took to the sky, and flew south.

Five minutes later, the two men flying along the coast saw more than a dozen fishing boats fishing at night at sea.

A few fishing lanterns hung in the bow and stern of the boat, and the bright yellow light reflected in the sea rippled, as if it would be blown away by the sea breeze at any moment.

Then the fishing village must not be far away.

Sure enough, after turning the Gobi, a small fishing village came into view.

There are about 100 households in the fishing village, and nearly half of them are still lit at this time.

Most of their cottages are built by the sea, and although they are small, they are cozy. Climbing plants grow freely outside the house, flowers bloom in full bloom, and the lintel hangs down.

The light by the door was a little dim, but fortunately, the bright moon was like a thought, and the moonlight sprinkled all over the flowers on the side of the road.

At this time, on the shore, there is a fisherman with a happy face and a full load.

When he came to a low room with the lights on, a little little bit of excitement jumped out of the house and hugged him, what seemed to be his child.

His wife was in front of the door, looking at her husband's smiling face, and at the big basket of fish, which were still alive...

These seaside villages may be hit by natural disasters, but as long as you work hard every day to fish, you will receive a lot of food in a year, and the extra money can also be used to buy household utensils.

At a slightly higher altitude, there is a temple, although the lights are out, but there are still wisps of green smoke, and there must be incense.

Fishermen pray for calm and good weather before the fishing season...

I don't know if there will be a hostel in the village, Zhao Xiaoan is a little worried, after all, this fishing village is indeed very small.

Half a minute later, Zhao Xiaoan and Mei Xu stopped in front of the fishing village.

At this time, an NPC fisherman happened to pass by the two of them and saw that they were well-dressed and looked extraordinary. took the initiative to talk: "The two officials, are you here to rest?" ”

Zhao Xiaoan naturally agreed: "That's right." ”

"Two guest officers, let me take you to the hotel, our village is small, there is only one hotel, but fortunately, it is still clean."

Zhao Xiaoan didn't expect this fisherman to be so enthusiastic, "Then I'm bothering you." ”

"No trouble, no trouble." The fishermen waved their hands and smiled sincerely.

The two of them made several turns along the gravel road in the fishing village, while some of the children watched the two late-night strangers from the crack in the door, while their mother seemed to stand behind them and hold them back.

Zhao Xiaoan felt a little strange at this time, did he look so terrible? The children are avoiding them...

Zhao Xiaoan was wondering, when a drunk man with a flushed face suddenly appeared from the corner in front of him.

The drunken man was ragged and unkempt, clutching a wine bottle in his rough hands, and although he swayed from side to side, his eyes were unexpectedly focused, staring straight at the road...

He was still humming a little tune: "Lalala..."

Zhao Xiaoan didn't hear what song he was humming clearly.

The drunken man walked in the middle of the road and walked straight towards them.

Zhao Xiaoan didn't care too much, as long as he didn't provoke him.

If the drunk man takes the initiative to provoke them, then Zhao Xiaoan will naturally give him a head-on blow.

Just as they were about to pass by, the drunk man stopped, "Crawl ~ crawl, burp ~ crawl!" Climb out. ”

Zhao Xiaoan didn't hear clearly for a while, and looked at the drunk, "What did you say?" ”

The drunk then turned his head around, "You didn't hear you when you crawled?" ”

"Hanging hair." Zhao Xiaoan didn't want to worry too much about this drunk, after all, he was delirious, and he just wanted to move forward and didn't care about him.

The drunk man looked up to the sky and roared, "Hahaha, another disobedient little brat." After the drunken man finished speaking, he took a long sip and continued to walk forward.

Zhao Xiaoan was confused by this drunk, but for the time being, he was regarded as a drunken and immoral.

The three of them continued to walk forward until they reached the end of the gravel road, and then turned to the right, which was already a muddy road.

At this time, the temple is on the left side of the hill, but the gate is closed; The fisherman's house on the right has also become bustling, with only a faint light in the house.

At first glance, there are no hostels.

Zhao Xiaoan was already a little puzzled when he came to this time, it was obviously a wilderness, where did he come from?

"Little brother, where is the hostel?" Zhao Xiaoan still asked politely.

"Isn't it?" The fisherman then pointed to a grave not far away, his eyes full of greed.

The grave was overgrown with weeds, and from a distance it looked like a small dirt slope.

And this large area of land is full of mass graves.

I don't know the time, maybe decades, maybe hundreds of years!

Zhao Xiaoan thought of the behavior of those fishermen and drunks at this time, but he could slightly understand that this person was not a fisherman at all, but a robber!

Hunt for young and inexperienced passers-by to rob and make a fortune in the fishing village.

"Ahh That drunk man still dares to meddle with my business, next time clean him up. ”

"It's your bad luck to meet me today, I will say nothing in this fishing village, and obey those fishing pipes. You little couple, if you don't hand over all the money today, I'll make you outlaws! ”

Zhao Xiaoan was funny, but he didn't expect to encounter the side plot, and this NPC fool actually hit them with the idea.

"You're so confident you can beat both of us?" Zhao Xiaoan ran through the fool's hair.

"Spread your hands!" The fool took two steps back, but his hair was dragged by Zhao Xiao'an fiercely in his hand, and he gritted his teeth in pain.

Zhao Xiao'an smiled disdainfully on his face, and continued to spare the fool's hair on his hand a few times.

"So it looks like you're... You don't cry when you don't see the coffin! If I don't make a sound, it's just a blockbuster! Ahhh Tap..."

"Then let me see what you're doing?" Zhao Xiaoan pressed his head down heavily, almost making him kneel on the ground.

Mio was also pursing her lips and chuckling next to her, which really amused her.
