Portoferraio, this place seems very familiar. What is familiar is not the buildings and people, but the smell here. The sea breeze blowing in my face, with the unique salty smell of sea water, mixed with the smell of fish, reminds me of it.
I seem to have seen this kind of plot in my dream, but I don’t know where the place is. It’s definitely not here. The architectural style and people’s dressing style are completely different.
There were several police officers patrolling nearby. When they saw a few people going out to sea, they came over to ask. After routine passport checks, only I was allowed to board the boat. The others were taken away. I heard from the boatman that they were stowaways.
After coming here from other places, they were discovered and chased by the Italian police and ran away. They planned to take a boat from here to Spain or Portugal. Now the investigation is stricter, so they still cannot escape this fate.
I saw those figures on the back and lamented the injustice in the world. These people are seeking refuge to escape the war in their hometowns. People in this world face many challenges. Such things happen every day. I clenched my fists and my palms were numb.
fever.
Starting from the port and crossing the Tyrrhenian Sea, all I could see was an endless sea with no land in sight. After 5 hours, a continent came into view. I went to the captain's cabin to ask, and he told me that there was still more.
2 hours, even if it seems very close, there are still 100 or 200 nautical miles. To be honest, I am not in a hurry, but I am still a little dizzy after being on the boat for a long time. I looked at my mobile phone and saw that there is no signal. I sent it to my parents before going to sea.
There was a message: "I have arrived at my destination, don't read it." I returned to the cabin, sat down cross-legged, straightened my body, adjusted my breathing, closed my eyes and rested.
"Sir, sir, we have arrived at the shore. Your driver has been waiting for you for a long time. If you don't sleep, you won't sleep. If you fall asleep, you won't wake up." I was shaken by the captain until I felt dizzy. I tried to open my eyes and found that I was sitting
I fell asleep while sleeping. I thought it must be because I didn’t sleep on the plane, but strangely, I didn’t dream. I picked up my backpack, rubbed my numb feet, and smiled awkwardly, “Mr. Captain, I’m sorry, could you?
Please give me a hand, my legs and feet are numb and I can't stand up, let alone walk." After that, he took out 5 dollars from his pants pocket and stuffed it into his hand. He was very happy to help this person who tipped him.
He was very strong and helped me to the car that picked me up, opened the door for me and walked me into the car. The captain continued, "If you are interested, I can accompany you for a trip, and if you can give me a generous tip."
"I rejected him with a smile. My money did not come from the strong wind, and it has nothing to do with you later. There must be a limit to eating and drinking. "Excuse me, Cantabria, just go directly to the beach.
, I know that the travel agency asked you to take me to the hotel first. I will give you a tip and take me to the beach first. Thank you." I thought the translation on my mobile phone should be accurate. The driver nodded and started on the road.
The total distance from Barcelona to Cantabria is about 750 kilometers, and it will take 8-9 hours to arrive. We will pass through 11 rest stops in the middle, and we will randomly rest at 3 of them because the company has clear regulations that driving at high speeds is 3
I have to take a break every hour, so even if I pay more, there is nothing I can do. There is nothing to see on the highway along the highway. At this time, I fell into sleep again.
Accompanied by Al, the eldest lady and the Kurdish De Sunnyville, we wandered around the market in Cantabria just to look for someone or something. Al and the eldest lady were very happy to look around.
Turn around, obviously they haven't been involved in such a lively environment for a long time. I looked east and looked carefully, and only Ade was next to me. Suddenly I found a shop on the street selling milk tea. The signboard was pearl milk tea, with big Chinese characters written on the shop
At the door, my curiosity drove me to go in and take a look. Ade was waiting for me at the door. He was not interested in anything around him. I stood in front of the ordering counter and looked at the varieties of milk tea. When the boss saw that he was an Asian,
I first asked in English, "Where are you from?" I answered "Chinese", and the boss smiled, "It's been a long time since anyone from my hometown has come to visit. I'll give you a 20% discount on what you want to drink. The signature is pearl milk tea."
I hesitated for a moment and subconsciously said, "Then let's have pearl milk tea...but please don't add pearls, leave the pearls alone."
"Ah Wu, I know you are the best. Leave all the pearls to me. You can't drink the milk tea. Come and let me drink it for you." After that, Ah Qiao took my hand, leaned his head over and bit the milk tea cup.
Straw, when I was about to flick her forehead with my left index finger, a little girl grabbed my milk tea and ran out. It turned out that she had just had a hallucination, "Oh, the pearls were just installed, and when I turned around, your milk tea was
The kid snatched it away, do you want another cup?" The boss shook his head helplessly and said, "Thank you, no need, just give me the pearls and help me get a spoon, oh, by the way, this is the money for the milk tea.
"I turned around and walked out of the milk tea shop, when Al and the eldest lady came over.
"How do you know that I like to eat pearls? Haha, only Al should know. Hey, did you tell him?" The eldest lady grabbed it and started eating while acting coquettishly to Al. "Well... does Aqiao also like to eat pearls?"
?” The eldest lady laughed when she saw me hesitating, “Yes, we two got to know each other because we were snatching pearls, and we even fought over it. Hey, did you remember something? Tell me.
The name Aqiao is not unfamiliar at all."
Only then did I realize that this name was not only unfamiliar to me, it was mixed with various emotions and came to me, but I couldn't explain them clearly. The eldest lady placed a pearl into my mouth and said, "Let's go."
I recalled the taste. I must have tasted it, but at this time I was thinking about Aqiao. Before I could react, I was fed a pearl. As a result, it went directly into my throat and swallowed before I could taste it.
"Cough cough...cough cough..." After a violent cough, the foreign body sensation in my throat disappeared. However, I was in the car at this time and did not taste the taste of pearls. Could it be that I was dreaming again just now?
I picked up my phone and looked at the time. It was 18:30. It was still 3 hours' drive from my destination. It was not dark yet, but it was gradually getting darker. The driver saw that I was awake and said, "I just stopped for one less hour."
The rest stop is expected to arrive in one and a half hours. I'll give you the hotel address. It's very convenient to get to the hotel from the seaside, so I won't send you off, okay?" I understood what he meant. The travel agency said before that Europe
People pay attention to the quality of life and generally don't work overtime. It seems that 8 o'clock is his limit. I nodded, OK, who made me want to go to the beach in Cantabria first?
Is the distance, the place I am about to arrive at, this place I have not yet set foot on, really the answer I am looking for? Is this answer a lead or a full stop? I only know that the big question mark is in my mind and my heart. (To be continued.
