Ma Xiaoxu sat in front of me and Deng Wanwan and started talking.
That was five years ago today, and the date was September 7th. At that time, summer ended relatively early and autumn arrived early. Especially at night, the temperature dropped suddenly, making people feel cool all of a sudden. In fact, Fujian Province is close to the tropics, so it shouldn't get cold so fast.
It was around ten o'clock in the evening. Most people couldn't stand the cold sea breeze at night, so they all hurriedly left. The number of people on the beach gradually became sparse, but the three of us, the three people in the photo, were not very afraid of the sea breeze. Even though it was cold, I still sat on the beach and chatted.
They are two of my college classmates. We both graduated from Xiamen University. The female is Li Jiajie, who studied business English; the male is Jia Guangyi, who studied hotel management.
I was born and raised in Xiamen, Fujian Province, and my two classmates were both from Zaozhuang, Shandong Province. They didn’t know each other before coming here. It was only after arriving at Xiamen University that they got to know each other after organizing a gathering of fellow students, and they became a couple. An enviable couple. At that time, they had only been married for five days, and they came back to Xiamen to find me.
Well, on the morning of September 7th, I went to pick them up at the airport as soon as they got off the plane. I took them to visit the beautiful coastal city of Xiamen. Especially in the past few years since they returned to Zaozhuang, Xiamen has changed a lot. When I took them to play, they said they didn’t recognize this once-familiar city. city.
What about the biggest change? It’s this five-mile stretch of coastline. This beach was newly opened to the public five years ago, so I took them here to play that night and still eat our favorite grilled oysters.
It's just that we locals have a habit of eating seafood with wine, especially the newly arrived oysters, which taste great when paired with beer. Before we knew it, Jia Guangyi and I were both drunk, so we sat down at the beach again and blew in the sea breeze to sober up faster.
As we were chatting, Li Jiajie pointed at my nose and complained that we were not friends enough and did not even come to her and Jia Guangyi’s wedding. You must know that the three of us were the best friends in college. We agreed, no matter who You have to come to get married.
I had nothing to say and could only find excuses for myself.
In fact, it’s not an excuse, I’m telling the truth. After graduating, I took over my father's business and contracted various businesses such as fresh food and fresh water supply for international luxury cruise ships along the coast of Fujian. To be honest, I was really busy at that time. I always had to go abroad, do business with gringos, sign contracts, and have to commit to various things. You don’t know, foreigners have more thoughts than us Chinese. The contract is quite detailed. Even shipwrecks and strandings are written in detail. I don’t know whether it is a crisis of trust or the spirit of the contract.
Who knows, Li Jiajie didn't believe my words at all, and insisted that I treat them to a meal for ten days. The three of us have such a good relationship, how could I not agree, so she agreed and said that they were willing to stay together You can stay here as long as you like, and I'll cover all the expenses.
After saying this, Li Jiajie and Jia Guangyi let me go.
The sea breeze back then was stronger than it is now, because not long after the subtropical cyclone passed, the ocean was not yet so calm, and tempers were getting louder. The tempers of the couple were like the ocean. They came up quickly and went down even faster.
The two of them and I looked at the ocean and felt deeply in our hearts. We also felt a little lonely after all, it had been three years since we graduated from college. The classmates went their separate ways and pursued their own futures, and there was very little contact and communication. I only had two of them who were extremely good friends, and I still kept in touch with them.
I suddenly sighed to Li Jiajie and Jia Guangyi, "Looking back on the four years of our university, there were so many good classmates. It's a pity that all the banquets in the world come to an end. Now, the good classmates with whom I am still in contact , it’s just you two. Sigh... I really don’t know, how are the monitor and the others doing? Are they doing well? "
"Yeah, I wonder how other classmates are doing now, how are they doing? What I want to know most is, what is my best friend from college, Chen Jiajia, doing?" Li Jiajie also felt a little lonely and sad when she mentioned the past.
"I still miss the second and third children in our dormitory. One of them is the descendant of Shisanxiang in Zhumadian, Henan Province, and most likely went home to inherit the craftsmanship of his ancestors. The other one is from the Northeast. I don't know what he does now. He is from the Northeast. The economy is not very good, who knows what he thinks." Jia Guangyi also sighed.
After sighing, I took another look at Li Jiajie in a bikini. Her figure was still so great that neither of us could bear to move our eyes away.
Maybe I was drunk and cowardly, so I said something I shouldn’t have said, “I was the one who pursued Li Jiajie first, and my good friend Jia Guangyi helped me. As a result, I pursued her. I didn’t catch up with Li Jiajie in one semester, but I let Jia Guangyi catch him. I caught him after a week. I was so angry at the time that I almost wanted to stab Jia Guangyi to death with a knife."
Li Jiajie was not annoyed at all after hearing this. Instead, she teased me, "Who told you to stop chasing me hard? You deserve it."
Jia Guangyi also smiled and said: "Brother, this is not picking up mistakes, but relying on real skills. As stupid as you are, you can't catch any girl."
This is quite right. I, Ma Xiaoxu, was born to be straight! Which woman likes a straightforward man? All women like sweet-talking men.
After chatting for a while, Li Jiajie felt a stomachache and said that she might have eaten too much seafood and couldn't digest it, so she hurried to the bathroom to solve the problem.
Jia Guangyi and I stayed behind. The two of us lay on the beach and talked a lot, all of which were about Li Jiajie. When we were in college, we had a fight for Li Jiajie. My arm was injured, his leg was broken, and each of us received a warning. It was really stupid to think about it at that time.
After all, I had unrequited love and worked hard to pursue a girl. However, Li Jiajie and Jia Guangyi were pursuing each other in both directions. That is to say, Lang Youqing and his concubine were interested, and the two of them came together.
It is impossible to say that I am not jealous of Jia Guangyi. Who would be happy to see the woman he loves marrying a man who is not as good as him?
I don’t know if what I said was too harsh, which irritated Jia Guangyi, and he had a big fight with me. I also felt that what I said was too harsh, so I quickly apologized. However, fortunately, we still have a deep friendship, and we talked about it. We also said that we would get together often, chat and drink, and go to the beach together when nothing happens...
Li Jiajie came back and bought two large coconuts for Jia Guangyi and me to drink. As soon as I came back, I saw something was wrong and guessed that Jia Guangyi and I had had a quarrel.
However, Li Jiajie, who has high emotional intelligence, did not criticize me. Instead, she enthusiastically cared about my life. How was it? He also said that he wanted to introduce me to someone, so I apologized to them both embarrassingly.
No matter what, if the woman I liked in the past has become someone else's wife, I shouldn't worry about it anymore, I should just bless her.
I don’t know how long we chatted for, but we all felt sleepy, and the weather looked wrong, and we were afraid that the weather was going to change. The sea is the most willful, and you never know when a huge wave will come and sweep people into the sea. !
Who knew that just as we were about to walk, a big deep hole opened up on the beach. The three of us almost fell into it. Fortunately, we reacted quickly.
After carefully looking at this deep sand pit, I felt that there was a strong suction force, sucking it out from the inside...
Moreover, I could vaguely hear someone shouting in the sand pit. I don’t know what they were saying. In short, it was not the voice of one person, but more like the voice of a group of people, either moaning or shouting.
At this point, I kept an eye out. As for this beach, not long after it opened, many people disappeared.
Although there are many situations like this on the beach, that is, people dig sand pits first and then bury people in them. There are also some boring people who write, draw, or do anything else on the beach.
It would be wrong to say that such a deep sand pit is man-made. First of all, sand is lighter than sea water. Even if someone really digs it so deep, a big wave will bring so much sea water. Then, the pit where seawater mixed with sand collapsed long ago. The corrosive power of seawater is very strong. No one can leave such a large project on the beach without being destroyed by seawater.
While I was still confused by such a deep sand pit, Jia Guangyi became abnormal. He stuck his head into the sand pit, getting closer and closer.
Seeing that he was about to fall in, Li Jiajie quickly grabbed him and shouted, "You don't want your life. Why are you digging into the sand pit?"
At this time, Jia Guangyi was not normal. His voice got stuck and he said something very strange. I remember it quite clearly.
"It's Li Nini. She's calling me. She's asking me to go down and accompany him."
When I heard Jia Guangyi say the three words Li Nini, I was so scared that I got goosebumps. Li Nini was Jia Guangyi's classmate. The two had been together since their freshman year, and they had been together for more than a year. Later, Jia Guangyi dumped Li Nini, and Li Nini couldn't bear to think about it and committed suicide by jumping into the sea.
I felt very scared and quickly urged Li Jiajie and Jia Guangyi to leave quickly, but Jia Guangyi acted as if he couldn't hear and plunged into the deep sand pit.
When Jia Guangyi fell in, he faced us with a shocked and frightened expression, and shouted loudly to save me. Then, I could only hear his echo from the deep pit.
After he fell in, the sand began to quickly backfill. The backflow speed of the sand was unbelievable. Such a deep pit was quickly filled up almost in an instant.
Li Jiajie and I stood stunned and didn't react for a long time. When we tried to save Jia Guangyi, he was completely submerged in the sand. The deep sand pit was filled up instantly, as if he hadn't appeared. Live the same.
When Li Jiajie saw her newlywed husband being sucked into the sand, she immediately went crazy. She screamed loudly and dug the sand with her hands desperately. I quickly went to help and dug the sand with her.
The two of us kept digging and digging until dawn. We dug out several sand pits with a depth of one meter. Li Jiajie's fingernails were all dug out, and Jia Guangyi, who was eaten by the sand, was not found. .
My good friend, Li Jiajie’s husband, Jia Guangyi was swallowed up by the sand pit and disappeared...
Li Jiajie was extremely panicked. She didn't believe it or accept it. To her, Jia Guangyi was like heaven and the backbone of the family. She always stubbornly believed that this was a nightmare.
She kept crying and kept digging until she collapsed and fell into a coma. I quickly picked her up and sent her to the hospital for treatment, which was considered to be her recovery.
Her husband fell into a sand pit in such a bizarre way. No one else could accept it, let alone Li Jiajie who had always relied on Jia Guangyi.
I was really afraid that Li Jiajie would be so depressed in the future and would be unable to escape the haze of her husband’s disappearance and be unable to integrate into social life. Therefore, I immediately contacted the beach operation team and dug up the beach where the accident occurred.
The result was a huge disappointment. Apart from digging out dozens of hermit crab nests, there was no living thing under the entire beach, let alone humans. Not even a single piece of human clothing was found.
After Li Jiajie woke up, she couldn't accept the fact that her husband was eaten by the beach. She immediately called the police. The police quickly arrived at the scene, but they were completely confused about this bizarre and weird thing and couldn't find where to start. where. In the end, because they couldn't find any evidence, the police did not accept Li Jiajie's statement and could only put Jia Guangyi on the missing persons list, and the matter was settled.
In fact, I feel like a mirror in my heart. No one would believe this matter. How could a living person say that he was eaten by sand? What if I believe it? Are you also at a loss?
However, the stubborn Li Jiajie refused to give up and insisted that I accompany her to dig around in the beach area. After digging for more than 20 days, Li Jiajie suddenly found a heart-shaped pendant, which was what Jia Guangyi was wearing around his neck. Pendant.
Since then, Li Jiajie has gone crazy, shaking her head and calling Jia Guangyi's name every day, and saying things like "I will never leave you". Really, Li Jiajie has gone crazy like this.
After that, Li Jiajie came to live with me. She was confused all day long, and her life was dark. She said a lot of things that no one believed. The only behavior she retained was to often go to the beach to dig sand with a small shovel.
During this period, I also sent her to the hospital, but the doctors were helpless. No one knew what to do with her type of mental illness. I can only take care of her and protect her. However, Li Jiajie is really infatuated. Even if he goes crazy, he still cannot forget Jia Guangyi. I have completely lost to him.
…
At this point in the story, Ma Xiaoxu raised the beer bottle and drank the beer in the bottle. Then, he looked at me and said, "Zhang Ruoxu, this is the story of me and my two friends. How about it? Do you find it very sad?"
I ignored him, but stood up abruptly, walked to the door of the bar, pointed at a long-haired woman in a white dress under the bright moonlight and asked: "The Li Jiajie you are talking about must be her, right? "
