Like most travelers, the Spy Sisters' first stop is the seaside.
When the blue and golden colors appeared so close to the girl's field of vision, even though they were still wearing masks on their faces, there was still a trace of real throbbing in their eyes.
Gina suddenly remembered a Victorian comedy she had watched.
The name is "Mr.Bean's Golden Week".
At that time, she was "working" in another company, just a 996 employee. The work content is boring, but I can't get off work early, so I often watch movies and TV shows to pass the time.
"Mr. Bean's Golden Week" was the last movie she watched while working.
The first few dozen minutes were exciting, at least Jina smiled happily and was almost caught by her boss.
And when the film was about to end and the song "La Mer" played, she was stunned.
Mr.Bean ended his bumpy journey and found the end of the journey inadvertently. The beach outside the small door exudes a shallow light, like heaven.
After he squeezed his eyes to make sure that what he saw was not an illusion, he quickly took out his DV and walked towards the light, walking faster and faster.
Mr. Bean, who had been unlucky all the way, became extremely lucky at this moment. The whole world was paving the way for him, helping him reach the seaside smoothly, and the trip ended smoothly with soothing and melodious music.
What makes Gina remember this movie is not the comedy effect in the first half, but Mr. Bean's unintentional turn, the moment of disbelief and joy when he saw the end without preparation.
This made Jina think of herself.
Living for more than 20 years, although not as full of comedy as Mr. Bean, there are definitely many ups and downs.
But Mr. Bean finally found the place he wanted to go.
Although it was just a beach, it was like paradise in his eyes.
The same is true in Jina's eyes.
Beautiful and desirable...
But Gina is not Mr. Bean, and she can't find the way to heaven at all. Even the beauty is imaginary, and she can't tell specifically what her heaven looks like.
Just like the Xista Beach in Jina's eyes at this moment, it can make people feel relaxed from body to heart, and it is worthy of the "beauty" in her heart. She also understands that this is not the end she wants.
"Hey - come here!"
Nancy's shout interrupted her thoughts.
Gina looked over and found that Minato was walking toward her carrying two beach chairs and a large parasol. Her steps were crooked, and it seemed that she would fall to the ground if she took a few more steps.
"Help me..."
Noticing her good sister's gaze, Nancy moved away and stood still. She pretended to be in pain, her legs were shaking, and she was waiting for Jina to come over and help.
"coming."
Putting her sunglasses into her bag, Jina shook her head and walked over.
She knew Nancy's physical strength very well. Although it was not as good as professional soldiers, it was still much better than ordinary people. It was impossible for a mere two beach chairs and a big umbrella to cause such pain to her good sister.
It must be pretending.
But so what?
Who makes herself a good sister?
Walking to Nancy, Gina stretched out her hand as if ready to help. As a result, her shoulders shook, and Gina's small backpack slipped down her arm to her wrist, and she hung it around Nancy's neck.
"Let's go and find a good place."
After finishing speaking, he turned around and left without giving Nancy the slightest chance to react.
"You bully people!"
This time her voice was much louder than before.
Jina ignored her, glanced around the beach, found a place with few people and walked over.
Heaven will definitely not be found. Not many people in this world have the luck like Mr. Bean, let alone his state of mind.
But at least during these few days, she and her sister could enjoy it.
It's a rare consolation in a spy career.
———————After a while————————
After all, the beach is just a tourist attraction and there are not many fun places.
Gina and Nancy lay there for two hours and decided to go somewhere else in the afternoon.
After all, Siesta is famous not only for its golden beaches, but also for its undeveloped virgin jungle.
After eating, they did not follow the travel plan, but went to a bookstore first.
This bookstore is right opposite the beach, and you can see the blue sea through the glass. The door number is old and has a white background. It looks like the bookstore has been open for a long time.
Jina opened the door, and the bell jingled with a crisp sound, as if it had just been replaced.
Or basically no one has been here.
The clerk lying on the table was awakened by the sound of the bell. He looked up and saw two cats in cool clothes. They seemed to have just come from the beach.
"Do you want to buy the book or not? If you don't buy it, leave."
As a result, the guest was greeted with a stinky face and a voice filled with impatience.
This clerk is quite angry when he wakes up.
Jina ignored him and focused on the bookshelf. Nancy was not interested in reading, so she took a novel and sat by the window, looking at the people coming and going outside.
The clerk didn't say anything about this. He hummed and leaned on the table again, as if he wasn't worried about his books at all.
It didn't take long for Jina to find what she was looking for.
A novella called "The Old Man and the Sea."
The author is Ernest, a retired Colombian soldier, and was published in 1089. Although it is well-known in Colombia, this book is rarely seen abroad. I am really lucky to see it in Siesta.
Gina didn't have much interest in this novel, and she had other reasons for taking it out.
"How much?"
She walked to the cashier with her books in hand.
The clerk glanced at the book cover and quoted the price.
"Fifty."
That’s twice the suggested selling price on the book.
It is obvious that this bookstore does not want to do business at all, whether it is the attitude towards customers or the price.
No wonder the bell at the door is so new.
If other people hear this price, they will definitely curse profiteers and leave. But Jina's expression remained unchanged, and she had no intention of paying.
She put the book on the table and tapped the cover.
"Is there a hardcover edition of 1089 Columbia National Press?"
The clerk was stunned by these words.
"Preferably a first edition."
She raised her head and met Jina's gaze, and suddenly understood what the cat meant.
"Not necessarily."
"You know, the first edition was issued in very small numbers, and even fewer circulated abroad."
The clerk still looked as listless as before, but his attitude was better.
"Let's look for it."
"If it's available, I'll buy it. The price doesn't matter."
Jina turned to look out the window.
"Don't let others rob you."
"I'll call and ask."
After saying that, the clerk picked up the phone and dialed a number, and after a brief exchange, the result was given.
"Yes, but you have to wait a while."
"Can."
When she heard this result, Jina felt relieved.
This is a good sign.
The helpers from Rheinland Life Headquarters are not dabblers like them, they definitely have hard power.
Since they agree, it means that they are safe at the moment and there is no tail behind them.
Taking the books away from the table, Gina sat across from Nancy and opened the books.
Just wait.
