that sea

July is the hottest time of the year.

On an island in a certain country in Southeast Asia, the hot sun makes the golden sand hot.The heat is steaming, and the sea water seems to be evaporating into the air.

On the beach, a group of young students were hiding in parasols, laughing and laughing, and a few were playing beach volleyball under the scorching sun.

A young girl had just finished playing volleyball and felt a little thirsty. She greeted her companions and went to a nearby stall to buy water.

There are some old-looking carts piled high with colorful beverage sodas, they are chilling and look very inviting.

The girl felt those soda bottles with her hands, trying to pick out the coldest and coolest one.

She was lowering her head to choose carefully when a hand with sharp bones suddenly stretched out.

The girl looked up and saw a very young boy.

"This bottle just came out of the freezer."

The boy squinted a pair of beautiful peach eyes, looking at her tenderly at the moment.

The girl took the soda and blushed.

The boy looked about the same age as her, but he was seventeen or eighteen years old. Although the clothes were clean and tidy, it could be seen that they were old clothes worn for many years, and the T-shirt was a little faded.

She looked around, but there was no one else.

This boy is clearly the owner of the soda stand.

She handed the money to the boy, blushed, turned and left.

After the girl left, the boy behind him looked at her back, and the corner of his mouth curled into a subtle arc.

His eyes were presumptuous and bold, he looked the girl from top to bottom, completely lost the gentle demeanor just now, a pair of dark black eyes looked evil and wild.

Lu Wang put the money handed over by the girl into his pocket and whistled.

On this damn hot day, he forgot to bring a parasol when he went out in the morning, and stood under the sun for several hours. If he didn't sell a few bottles of soda, he would suffer from heat stroke first.

Fortunately, he picked a private beach and sneaked in.The people who come here to play are all young ladies from rich families. They are stupid and easy to cheat. Although they have only sold a dozen bottles of soda after working for half a day, their income can be worth a whole day in the past.

While humming, he neatly packed his things.

After closing the stall, Lu Wang rode a tattered motorcycle, pulling a box of colorful sodas, and shuttled along the coastal road with a "ding bang bang".

The sky here is always blue and blue, as if washed by water.

Under the blue sky is also the endless blue sea.

The wind blowing from the sea level is mixed with a faint smell of fish and salt.

Lu Wang's white T-shirt was blown up by the wind, and his thick black hair swayed slightly.

His bangs, which were wet with sweat, were stuck to his forehead, and after a while, they were slowly dried by the gentle sea breeze and stretched against the wind.

City M was a former Chinese gathering area in country T. In the [-]s, many Chinese people did business here. Later, it gradually developed into a bustling city. So far, almost half of the city's population is Chinese.

Lu Wang rode a motorcycle through the center of the city.Although it is the center of the city, there are no people on both sides of the road.

Country M is originally located in the tropics, with a very low latitude.At this time, it was midsummer again, and the road seemed to be filled with heat.People hid behind open parasols one after another, and even a few small vendors with stalls on the side of the road didn't bother to open their voices to attract customers.

Lu Wang galloped all the way on the deserted street in the afternoon, the tattered motorcycle and the soda bottle in the back of the car made a noise, as if to accompany him.

Lu Wang looked like a high-spirited general, with his head held high and his chest held high, he passed through the bustling city center full of high-rise buildings, passed through the quiet and tidy high-end residential area, and drove all the way to a secluded neighborhood.

This place is located on the edge of the city, and it is obviously much dilapidated than the previous areas.

Looking up, the houses here are mostly made of cement bricks and tiles, and they look particularly gray under the clear blue sky.

Lu Wang rode his bike through the narrow road with ease.

Different from the neat and spacious avenue just now, the aisles between the houses here are very narrow, and there are some messy gas tanks, shoe racks, clothes racks and other things piled up in some places, which are crowded and messy, and it is very difficult to pass through.

Lu Wang still drove the car very fast, like a flexible white pigeon, turned and took off, and finally stopped steadily at the gate of a large courtyard.

As soon as Lu Wang entered the door and parked the car, he felt someone approaching from behind.

As soon as he turned around, he saw a black hand reaching into the box in the back seat of his car.

He grabbed the man's hand violently, cursing unceremoniously:

"Go away!"

The arrested person was a middle-aged man, about 50 to [-] years old, with wrinkles on his face and shiny black skin.At this moment, he was smiling flatteringly at Lu Wang, his squinted eyes squeezed into his bloated flesh.

This is an unemployed vagrant who lives downstairs from Lu Wang, and everyone in the courtyard calls him "Uncle Shuan".

This Uncle Shuan didn't usually go out to look for work, but stayed in the yard doing petty theft. He was thick-skinned, so everyone kept away from him, and Lu Wang naturally didn't have a good look at him.

The man withdrew his hand embarrassingly, and smiled flatteringly:

"Why did you close the stall so early today?"

He saw that there was still a lot of soda left in the box, and knew that Lu Wang hadn't sold a few bottles today, so he was a little careful when he spoke.

Without looking at him, Lu Wang locked the car, carried the soda box and went upstairs.

Seeing that there was no soda to drink, Uncle Shuan behind him sighed and walked back slowly.

The nearby area was where the army of country A was stationed in country T. After the war ended, the army moved away, leaving a few rows of empty houses, and many homeless poor people slowly moved in.

Although there is no distinction between upper and lower classes in the slums, poor people from different countries and speaking different languages ​​are automatically divided into several different groups.

In the courtyard where Lu Wang lives, most of them are descendants of some Chinese who stayed in country T.

Lu Wang kicked open the door of his room, took a shower casually, fell on the bed, and fell asleep soundly.

Woke up, rubbed his head, looked out the window, it was already dark.

There were only a few scattered lights on in the yard.

He washed his face casually, put on his clothes and went out, strolled to the cooked food stall outside the yard to buy some food, and brought a few bottles of beer with him as he passed by the grocery store.

The summer night breeze blows on the face, with a touch of salty sea water.

Lu Wang sat on the roof, staring at the dark night sky, in a daze.

He took a sip of his beer.

The cold and slightly bitter wine flowed down the throat all the way to the body, and the bubbles jumped in the mouth.

He sighed in comfort, and glanced across the opposite side unintentionally, but saw a house on the opposite side with lights on.

Hasn't that family been unoccupied for a long time?

The lock on the door is covered with a layer of dust. Could it be that the owner of the house has returned?

Lu Wang was wondering, but saw a dark figure standing firmly in the window facing him, as if looking at him.

Before he had time to take a closer look, the figure disappeared in a flash.

Lu Wang's mind, which was slightly drunk from drinking, suddenly sobered up.
