Chapter 29 Section 1

What "he" focused on with binoculars was a woman in a sky blue swimsuit. The woman sat upright on a cheap plastic mat, wearing dark sunglasses, probably Chanel. The man next to her was lying, also wearing sunglasses, and seemed to be painted with tanning oil, his whole body was shining, and the chest protruding from the ribs was a little red. The woman seemed unwilling to tan her skin. As the shadows under the big beach umbrella moved, she frequently changed her position. From time to time, she still applied something on her hands and feet, which should be sunscreen or something like that.

Today's sun is really strong enough, even though she protects herself from the sun like this, she is still hard to guard against.As long as the shoulder straps of her swimsuit are moved, her fair skin that has not been tanned will be revealed immediately. The woman frowned and said something to the man, as if she was saying that after staying in such a place for a long time, the skin was injured and there was no way to recover.The man was still lying down, and answered a few words with a smile, probably saying something like "You said you wanted to come to the beach, so I brought you here".

"It's already September, I didn't expect the sun to be so poisonous." "What are you talking about, the ultraviolet rays will become stronger and stronger in the future." "He" watched through the binoculars while translating the dubbing in his heart. "He" saw the woman take off the towel she was wearing, took off her sunglasses and stood up, holding the inflatable cushion. "I'm going to swim, are you going?" "I'm not going, you go by yourself." Woman in beach sandals walking towards the sea. "He" took off the binoculars and visually checked the woman's position. The seaside in September is crowded with tourists on Sundays.Sky blue swimsuits are popular this year, and "he" took a lot of effort to find her.

The woman took off her sandals.The waves came, and she went into the sea barefoot holding the inflatable mattress. "He" opened the cover of the air-conditioner under his armpit, and there was "that thing" wrapped in a plastic bag to prevent water from entering. He took it out and hung it gently on his waist. The woman's name was Mei Lijinzi, and she liked the sea very much, but she was not good at swimming.She just grabbed the inflatable cushion and swayed in the waves, feeling the blessings of nature with all her heart.In the sea, the passage of time is so leisurely and slow.

Before getting married, her husband Uri Naohiko often took her to the beach. Naohiko lived in Fujishaku, and they dated many times in Yokohama.As long as Tsuko said "I want to swim", Shangyan immediately changed all the reservation plans and drove her to the beach with his PAJERO (Mitsubishi model).There are often swimsuits for two people in the car. Jinzi feels that the free life in the two-person world is getting shorter and shorter.She has been married for more than a year and has not yet had a child. She is seriously considering this issue.The parents of both parties attach great importance to this issue and think that the two are not young, especially Jinzi, who is 29 years old this year.

Although she wanted to play surfing (the kind of sport where the body lies on the board) and diving, she temporarily gave up these thoughts when she thought about her children.In order to have children, it is necessary to sacrifice a hobby or two. The weather is so nice today!Jinzi only lay her upper body on the inflatable cushion and closed her eyes, as if sleeping on a huge water bed.His body, which was drenched in water and felt a little cold, gradually warmed up. Suddenly, she felt something hit the underside of the cushion.She opened her eyes and found someone lurking directly below her.

Small splashes from the water revealed the face of a man with short hair, young and wearing a periscope. "Excuse me." After a brief apology, the man dived back into the water and swam away. Jinzi recalled the thought that flashed in his mind just now, and smiled wryly.when the young man appeared.She was still wondering if she had been harassed by hooligans.About a few years ago, this kind of thing was not uncommon, but after the age of 25, almost no young men approached her. She said to herself, now that she has reached the age to live an honest life, it is time to have a child...

Jinzi recovered and found that there were very few people around.She wiggled her feet, changing direction. Just then, something attacked her. Meri Shanghiko witnessed this moment. At that time, he was sitting up, looking at his wife who was still floating in the sea.Still hugging her pink inflatable cushion, she rocks between the waves. He was smoking a cigarette, lighting it with a Zippo lighter, and using the empty Coke can he just drank as an ashtray. He spots a man approaching Tsuko, but turns around and disappears in the sea. Then, Meili Shangyan noticed that Tsuko was changing direction in a panic.She seemed to find that she had drifted into the open sea, and he thought: "This wife is really stupid."

Then, at the moment when Shang Yan smoked and exhaled. There was a "bang" sound in the distance, and the figure of the wife turned into a pillar of fire.The yellow pillar of fire seemed to erupt from the sea, and the impact made the surrounding water turn white instantly.Then, the small pillar of fire splashed out of the water like a bloom! The explosion made the whole beach stand still in an instant.The bathers didn't know what happened, they just stared blankly at the pillar of fire. Immediately there was a panic in the bathing place, people scrambling to get ashore from the sea, screaming and crying... That scene reminded Meri Shangyan of Steven Spielberg's movie "Jaws".In that movie, people were running from sharks; now, people are running from a "pillar of fire."

He thought of that movie subconsciously.He was completely shocked, lost the ability to think, and sat blankly on the inflatable cushion with a cigarette in his hand, staring blankly at the sea where his wife floated just now. The explosion on the surface of the sea has subsided, leaving only small white bubbles, drawing concentric circles layer by layer. The people around were yelling something, but Shang Yan couldn't hear anything. He finally regained consciousness, stood up, and staggered towards the sea.He didn't know what happened, but he knew that in the whole bathing place, only his wife didn't come back from the sea.

"Tsuko... where is it?" Finally, Shang Yan's eyes locked on the pink thing floating on the sea. He remembered in an instant that it was Jinzi's inflatable mattress.
