When they arrived at the seaside port, Xia Xiao and Azhu did not leave quietly as the captain had expected. Instead, like many other passengers, they stood on the deck with their bags on their backs, gazing into the distance where the sea and the sky met.
The vastness of the sea is often not in its appearance, but in the heart of the viewer. It is an indescribable word in the hearts of countless people, and no one knows how far or how deep it is.
The seas of the Great Wilderness World did not have detailed records of their outlines like the land, but were just a deep blue expanse, with the coastline as the starting point but no end. There were countless islands, but only one percent of them had detailed records.
The people of the South are better at sailing than the Daxia and Goulongbang clans in the north, who are also on the sea. The only country in the whole wilderness that can be compared with them is the island country of Shelie. But the latter is just a small place, and the sailing technology is not well developed. Therefore, the South is a well-deserved sea traveler. But even such a country that is good at sailing, because of the water-like atmosphere, few people go out to the sea.
Sailing on the open sea means strong winds, waves, lightning and death. Therefore, this vast ocean still holds many secrets, like a woman shrouded in a veil, who is captivating just by revealing a pair of lovely eyes.
After saying goodbye to the captain, Xia Xiao and Azhu got off the boat, walked for a while, and then stepped onto the beach.
There was a golden beach here, with some rotten seaweed piled under a few tall coconut trees, and washed-out colored stones and oyster shells everywhere. Compared to the rocky coast he had seen for the first time, this beach was more in line with Xia Xiao's imagination of the sea. There were some women wearing quite cool clothes, playing in the sea with smiles on their faces.
The rising and falling waves were very cold, making a rushing sound, like the sea breathing in and out.
Although Xia Xiao and Ah Zhu were also wearing summer clothes, it was a bit strange to see them carrying bags on the beach, as if they didn't understand the customs. But the woman just ran back to the parasol and applied sunscreen to her new companion.
This is the dream of countless men. Xia Xiao took a glance and saw that the person next to him was Ah Zhu. His heart sank suddenly. It seemed that he was expecting something beautiful, but the reality was cruel and the gap was huge. The girl who accompanied him to the beach for the first time should not be Ah Zhu's.
Ah Zhu couldn't guess what Xia Xiao was thinking. When she saw him looking at her, she thought her face was too red. She didn't want to embarrass herself in front of Xia Xiao, so she quickly covered her face with her hands, but there was some shyness in her eyes.
“They were wearing so little.”
"You can, too."
"don't want."
If Ah Zhu dressed like that, her grandmother would definitely use her walking stick to hook her back to the mountain village and beat her up.
"That's a swimsuit. There's nothing to be ashamed of wearing it."
Ah Zhu shook her head. She felt that wearing such revealing clothes was not a good thing. The smell of meat floating in the air was what she wanted.
“It smells like barbecue.”
Perhaps it was because Azhu was too silent in the past few days, and now he returned to his old self. He grabbed Xia Xiao's wrist and pulled him towards the barbecue stall.
Barbecue at the seaside is quite novel in Azhu's eyes. Giant lobsters, grilled fish, and shells that he has never seen before, paired with garlic and vermicelli, will they be delicious?
Ah Zhu was a little greedy, and his mouth was watering. The boss saw them and smiled and asked them to sit down. Ten parasols, ten small tables and chairs, a grill and a refrigerator were all the boss's belongings. After putting down the bag, Xia Xiao asked for two of everything, which made the boss very happy, and Ah Zhu was even happier.
"Thanks."
She was suddenly touched and felt that Xia Xiao was very good to her, much better than before. He used to just say that he was a pig.
Xia Xiao didn't think so much, just looked away and watched the boss lift the quilt and take out the ingredients from the refrigerator. This kind of pure natural refrigerator should only be made by practitioners, it's really convenient. Just these few things will make countless profits at the seaside. It's hard work, but everything is not easy.
Before the barbecue came, Ah Zhu kept looking at Xia Xiao, which made him sigh secretly, thinking, why are you looking at me? I bought you barbecue, do you still want to eat me?
Xia Xiao was helpless, but when he saw the hint of love in Ah Zhu's eyes, he couldn't help but find it funny and didn't take it seriously at all. It's really cheap to fall in love with someone just because of a barbecue. Think about him and Shu Shuang, if it weren't for the life-and-death test at the Snow Dragon Crossing, I'm afraid they wouldn't really be together.
The barbecue stall was in full swing, and Ah Zhu was most like the charcoal in the grill. She was not complicated, but just had the flame of youth. Therefore, she, who was extremely simple, suddenly felt that Xia Xiao was not that bad. Although he was a little cold, he was very caring. She had always been the one who got into trouble. Although he would teach her a lesson, he never taught her a lesson for eating too much or spending money, and he even gave her pocket money.
Ah Zhu thought of her grandmother's words. She said that money is not enough. Although the more the better, a person who is willing to spend money on you but stingy with himself is the one who truly loves you. Xia Xiao was not rich, and this barbecue would cost a lot of money, but he did not skimp.
Ah Zhu fell into a sweet cycle, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, but Xia Xiao was frightened by being stared at, and even more confused. If he was a villain and had bad intentions towards Ah Zhu, he could have tricked her into his hands with a barbecue. It was so easy to fool her. Xia Xiao couldn't help but think of a passage she had heard in her previous life, that a meal of spicy hot pot for 18 yuan tricked her into going to a hotel and having sex all night.
It's really not right to say whether this kind of girl is simple or stupid, but Xia Xiao underestimated Ah Zhu. She wouldn't be like that. At most, she would just hand the first skewer of barbecue to Xia Xiao like she is doing now. Xia Xiao should eat the first skewer first.
We had an all-you-can-eat barbecue today, and finished it off with a cup of herbal tea, which went perfectly with the seaside atmosphere.
"Is the silver not enough?"
Ah Zhu had no worries while eating, but she started to worry after she finished. She had eaten a lot before, but Xia Xiao only accompanied her halfway before giving up.
"I can't afford a house by the sea anymore, but I can find one in a remote area."
If Xia Xiao was alone, it would be fine to sleep on a bench by the sea for a night. That kind of place is nice, but there are girls around, so I have to take care of them. This is not a matter of likes or dislikes, but a responsibility.
Although Xia Xiao always disliked Ah Zhu, who was really good at nothing but eating, she had no hatred against the darkness, and she was running around all this time because of herself. Xia Xiao never said it, but she knew it in her heart. She had to keep these things in mind. Ah Zhu could complete it as a task of the academy, but he couldn't take it for granted.
The house they rented tonight was very ordinary and very small. Xia Xiao couldn't even find space to sleep on the floor.
"Come to bed, you're very tired at night."
"No."
Xia Xiao sat on the chair, and when he saw Ah Zhu was about to ask him to go to ** again, his tone became even colder.
"sleep!"
Ah Zhu gradually understood Xia Xiao's personality. He was not the kind of person who would suffer for the sake of face. If he was told that he could not sleep on the bed, he would definitely not sleep on it. He sat on a wooden chair. Although it was not as comfortable as a bed, he could fall asleep by lying on the table.
In the dark room, the two slept for the whole afternoon. In the evening, they changed into black clothes, and Xia Xiao also took a machete tied with a cloth strip, and then walked to the beach without taking anything else.
"If this mission goes well, I'll reward you with a barbecue tonight."
"I will fully cooperate and will definitely not cause any trouble!"
