The weather in province Z is hot.

It has reached Santang Bay, groups of people are sunbathing on the beach and enjoying a comfortable time, the line of sight is far away, some people are surfing, some are swimming, and some young people are laughing and playing on the beach.

This scene is noisy, but it is also desirable.

"Pick up the blue ocean." Approaching the door of a hostel near the edge, Yan Hua raised his head and read the signboard hanging on the balcony on the second floor, four design-like fonts surrounded by decorative lights.

He just took a general look, there are similar shops in the whole row by the bay here, only Gao Qingzhu and their house are leaning on the very edge, compared to other stores, the location of this seaside hotel is indeed more disadvantaged.

The hotel is not big, a total of three floors, it seems that there are only a few rooms, not many tourists, but the overall decoration style is blue and white, quite refreshing, making up for the gloomy shortcomings in the corner.

At a few white tables in front of the store, there are dozens of men and women in swimsuits, who are drinking drinks and watching the sea.

It seems that today's business seems to be average.

"I'm sorry for you, and help me carry my luggage." Gao Qingzhu said politely, "Do you want to go in and sit?" ”

"No, my friend is still waiting for me, I'll come back when I'm free." As he spoke, Yan Hua handed her back the handrail of the suitcase.

Just as she was about to say goodbye, a figure leaned out of the store, she was of medium height, but her figure looked good, and her skin looked dark and healthy because she lived by the sea all year round.

Yan Hua couldn't tell her specific age, inferred from her figure alone, she was only about twenty years old, but this woman's appearance always felt a little familiar......

"Mom?" Gao Qingzhu shouted.

Mother?

Yan Hua was stunned for a moment, and threw an expression of disbelief at Gao Qingzhu.

He is also a person with some experience, and he has seen a lot of monsters, but looking at such a young "mother", Yan Hua is still the first time to see it.

After all, according to age, Gao Qingzhu is now 21 years old, and her mother must be at least in her forties. It's almost the same as being a sister.

Gao Qingzhu's mother's name is An Yuelan, now forty-five years old, she usually loves surfing and swimming, and grew up by the sea since she was a child, but she is still very well maintained as a mother, and she looks younger than movie stars.

For her, age is not a shackle that limits women, but a sign of their maturity.

"Ah, Qingzhu is back! Why don't you tell us the time? I thought you'd be back in a few days. An Yuelan took her daughter's hand and said, at this time, she finally looked like a mother.

She turned her eyes and saw the tall boy behind Gao Qingzhu-Yan Hua.

"This is ......"

Gao Qingzhu was about to introduce, but Yan Hua robbed him of the right to speak, only to see his smiling eyes crooked, and a soft and magnetic voice sounded: "Hello Auntie, I'm classmate Gao Qingzhu." ”

"Oh~classmates~" An Yuelan showed an expression that was not too big to see the excitement, she bumped her daughter with her shoulder, and asked softly, "Why are you still classmates?" You don't talk to your mom when you bring your boyfriend home? I didn't prepare anything for this. ”

Somehow, there was something reproachful in her tone.

Gao Qingzhu was full of helplessness, revealing an expression that was about to be laughed at by her mother: "Mom, he's really just my classmate, and I don't have a boyfriend yet." ”

The way the two get along with each other is like friends, just like their young appearance, which is really insightful for Yan Hua.

already had a trace of interest in Gao Qingzhu, but now, his interest in her can be said to be even stronger.

But now, it's time to go.

"I'm sorry, Auntie, Qingzhu, I still have friends waiting, so I'll leave first, I'll definitely come over to play tomorrow if I'm free." Yan Hua pushed the frame of the mirror and said goodbye.

Seeing that he was leaving, An Yuelan wanted to step forward and stop, but was dragged back by Gao Qingzhu.

I only heard her whisper in An Yuelan's ear: "Yan Hua is my classmate, whether you believe it or not, it is impossible for me to be with him anyway." ”

"Why?" An Yuelan was puzzled, looking at her daughter with a puzzled face.

"He's not my type." Gao Qingzhu said casually.

"Didn't you go up and talk to a handsome guy before? Still convergent now? Yan Hua is so handsome, why don't you hook up and hook up more? ”

Gao Qingzhu pursed her mouth, she knew her mother's character, and it was not surprising that the word hooking up came out of her mouth, but it still felt a little strange when it sounded.

"Mom, I'm a good-looking person, and I do owe my mouth, but that's all my subconscious behavior, and it doesn't match my liking." I only listened to Gao Qingzhu explain.

Hearing this, An Yuelan seemed to ignore her answer directly, and jumped back to the previous question: "Then what type do you like?" ”

“……”

Stunned, Gao Qingzhu choked.

Yes, that's just a casual remark she said, but what type of man do you like?

"Cheerful, cheerful...... her voice stammered.

As soon as the words came out, Gao Qingzhu seemed to think of something again, and quickly pulled the topic away: "By the way, what about Dad?" After standing at the door for so long, how can you not see others? ”

"Who knows about him, probably going to be lazy again." An Yuelan rolled her eyes and continued to clean up the table.

In the face of such a mother who does not grow up, Gao Qingzhu can be regarded as helpless.

Ignoring her again, he went upstairs to put the box away, and before he could tidy it up, he came down again to look for her father.

Coming to the beach, two couples are playing beach volleyball, the woman is slender but convex and backward; The man is tall and muscular, in short, the handsome man and the beautiful woman are two pairs of eye-catching combinations.

Skimming over them and taking a closer look, there was still no trace of Gao Qingzhu's father in the group of people who were trapped in the designated sea area for swimming.

"This Gao Hongyu, where did he go to play again." Gao Qingzhu called his father's name and said to himself, "Leaving my mother to watch the store alone, I am embarrassed to say that I love my wife." ”

Boom Boom –

Suddenly, a thunderclap swept across the sky, resounding in the clear sky without warning.

Gao Qingzhu raised his head and looked in the direction of the thunder just now, frowning.

On a sunny day, how can it thunder?

The tourists also seemed to hear the loud noise that resounded in the sky, and they all stopped to look around at the sky.

It was the first time that such a strange picture appeared in Santang Bay, with a huge number of players, all of them doing the same action, that is, looking up at the location where the thunder fell.

While everyone was wondering, the sky was pressed down, and the dark clouds drifted at a great speed, and finally gathered in the sky until the rain fell.

In order to avoid the rain, Gao Qingzhu quickly ran back to her shop, and when she looked back at the entire beach, it was already empty, and it became bleak for a moment.

The rain damp cascades down the sand, forming puddles that turn the beach into a vast reservoir.

"I was about to take out the trash, why did it suddenly rain?" Behind him, there was a voice that Gao Qingzhu had been familiar with for more than twenty years.

It's Daddy.

She turned around and happened to see him carrying a garbage bag, looking dazed.

It turned out that he was at home for a long time, and he didn't go anywhere.

Gao Qingzhu's father, that is, Gao Hongyu, looks young because of long-term exercise, but compared to his mother An Yuelan, Gao Hongyu is still a little worse.

But in the eyes of outsiders, the state of the two of them at this age is not envied by others.

Seeing that his father was at home at this time, he also showed a sloppy appearance that had just woken up, which was simply recruiting black for "picking up the blue ocean".

I saw Gao Qingzhu shaking his head helplessly and said, "Dad, go and clean yourself up." ”

Seeing that the person who spoke was his daughter, Gao Hongyu, as a daughter slave, seemed to have entered the pinnacle of his life, and at this moment he was happy like a fat man of two hundred pounds, and he was about to rush up to hug Gao Qingzhu.

Unexpectedly, Gao Qingzhu stretched out his hand and blocked in front of his father Gao Hongyu.

"Reserved and steady." Gao Qingzhu withdrew his hand, "Dad, you are the head of a store, you can't be so sloppy......"

After that, she glanced Gao Hongyu up and down with her eyes, letting him know that the style at the moment was too casual, and that bird's nest-like hairstyle could really raise birds on it.

"Oh, my daughter is back, I'm not excited!" Gao Hongyu began to pat his ass, "Our Qingzhu is the princess of the whole family, and my father just woke up, didn't he just get up from the bed to greet you!" ”

Hearing this, although Gao Qingzhu was speechless, he was still happy in his heart.

Just then, a tall, thin figure walked into the store.

It was a cold-looking woman, who looked like no one was allowed to enter, but there was always a trace of sadness between her eyebrows.

She was dressed in a black suit that covered her whole body, and she didn't look at all like a person who had come to the beach for a vacation. There was a camera hanging from her chest, which looked like it had been used for a long time, and the shoulder strap that hung around her neck was worn.

I saw her come to the front desk and ask Gao Hongyu briefly: "Hello, may I ask if there is a forbidden land around here?" ”

As soon as he heard the word "forbidden land", Gao Hongyu's face immediately changed, and even Gao Qingzhu showed a strange expression.

"What are you going to do there?" Gao Hongyu changed his past and asked seriously.

The woman was stunned for a moment, probably not expecting him to react in this way, and then replied: "I'm a photographer, and I heard that there is a forest near here that is called a forbidden land by the locals, but there are forests all but the sea in this area, so I want to ask you where the specific direction is." ”

"Inquire there, do you want to go in?" Gao Qingzhu suddenly asked.

The woman was startled, turned around and bumped into Gao Qingzhu's amber sharp eyes.

She nodded and replied yes.

Gao Qingzhu leaned against the door: "I advise you not to go in, something terrible has happened there." ”

"Terrible ...... Thing? The woman looked very curious about what had happened in the "forbidden land", and there were expectations and doubts in her eyes.

Seeing that she was curious, Gao Qingzhu and his father Gao Hongyu looked at each other for a second, and when he saw his father nodding, Gao Qingzhu slowly explained: "There have been fires there before, but the miracle is that the next day it was restored to its original state, as if the fire had never appeared." ”

"Oh? And this kind of thing? There was a light in the woman's eyes, "But it's not terrible." ”

"And."

"And?"

Gao Qingzhu: "I asked you not to go in, because since the fire incident, the people who entered the forest have never come out, and the police and search and rescue teams have also gone in, and even they are missing, and there is no trace." ”

"After I explain this, do you want to go in again?" Gao Qingzhu looked at her with an inquiring gaze, hoping that she would give up the stupid idea of entering the forbidden land.

The woman's eyes showed determination, and she only said one word: "Yes." ”

It's a pity that she is very stubborn, so let her be, but Gao Qingzhu will not tell her this specific address.
