In the original impression, the sea is my yearning place. Even in my college years ago, I tried my best to get into the port city of Dalian. However, I still stayed in Benxi, the "mountain city", amid the ups and downs.
I saw the sea for the first time in late July, 1992. At that time, I was extremely envious of the vastness of the sea, and the sea became a fetter in my dream. Even after countless years, my heart is full of sincere love for my beautiful hometown. I can't deny that "the sea" is still a place I like and yearn for. Although in my pen, the content of the sea also flows like a stream spring; However, back and forth, after more than 21 years, close contact with the sea is still so limited. Strictly speaking, my time to really integrate into the sea is numbered.
I had a chance to go to the seaside in June this year. However, because we have not entered the "V", our generation is not the age of passion, and we have not been able to integrate into the softness of the sea; Just in the wooden pavilion at the top of a coastal cliff, I tasted the delicious seafood (processed and eaten when it comes out) and thoroughly experienced a seaside style.
as I gradually deepen my outdoor activities, there will be many opportunities to get in touch with the sea this year. When I first saw the announcement of Li Guan's two-day trip to the seaside in the group, I didn't even think about it. I was the first to sign up. Then anxiously waiting for the day of traveling to the seaside.
[1
During the waiting days, I almost ruined my trip to the seaside because I squeezed my little toes because of my improper choice of shoes for daily training. Fortunately, timely adjustment (starting from Thursday, choose old shoes for training), the two little toes have improved, but the toenails of the two little toes are inevitable.
on Friday, I cut my training volume by half (from 22,111 meters to 9,111 meters) so as not to delay my trip to the seaside on Saturday and Sunday. Unexpectedly, there were many things on Friday. I was busy for most of the day, and I spent all my afternoon and evening studying with my children. However, I insisted on going to bed before zero o'clock. Unfortunately, my mind was full of children's learning. I lay down for two hours before I slowly entered a semi-sleep state.
at 4: 11 in the morning, ten seconds before the alarm clock sounded, I woke up leisurely. I took two deep breaths first, then got up. I felt the state, very bad, and my head felt slightly dizzy. Scared to take medicine immediately, and then began to prepare for the team.
at 4: 51 in the morning, I walked to the assembly area (the bus was not running and it was too early to take a taxi). In order to spend extra time, I bought two cakes at the food stall (I never had breakfast before, because I was in a bad state and had signs of dizziness, so I had to borrow breakfast to increase my capital against dizziness), and then I rushed to the assembly area.
at 5: 21 in the morning, I arrived at the assembly area. In the crowd, I quickly found familiar faces such as long road, cheetah and tired. After greeting each other, I silently waited for boarding.
this time, there are 94 people in two cars. Because of insufficient preparation, the scene seemed a little messy; It took a lot of trouble to arrange for people to board the fare. As a result, there is still a person's difference. In order to solve this problem and start the trip as soon as possible (already 15 minutes later than originally planned), I took the initiative to adjust to a more expensive air-conditioned car (now I am separated from many friends). After the adjustment, the bus started immediately and started the trip of "liguan" seaside.
I started to squint in the car early because of carsickness. Stop-and-go along the way, I got off several times to get some air, and then I got to know my lover (air-conditioned car management).
in my experience of leaving the team, liguan is almost the longest drive. This is very bad for me who is in a bad state. Throughout the whole journey, I spent almost all my time sleeping and waking up.
at 11 o'clock, we arrived at a poor hotel in Liguan seaside (it is very normal that we paid less). Although the content is simple, the process is very cumbersome and troublesome. When we are completely settled, it is almost time for lunch.
while waiting for lunch, I saw that there was still time, so I rushed to the nearby store and bought a pair of slippers (I was inexperienced and didn't know I needed slippers). After I came back, I didn't even get back to my room, so I started lunch.
lunch was ok (at least seafood appeared). During lunch, the teammates who get together get to know each other (even if I often leave the team like this, the whole team doesn't know one fifth, and it is even more difficult for other players who leave the team less) to facilitate the later activities.
after lunch, we made some preparations, and then we started our first coastal activity-taking a sea bath.
our accommodation is close to the beach. Teammates walked in twos and threes (mostly in dormitories) and went to the beach.
As it is the peak season, there are many people on the beach. It is difficult for us to find our own players in this crowded crowd, so we can only go out to sea with a few "old faces" and find a slightly recognizable place as a rest point.
looking for a room, I suddenly heard someone calling me. At first glance, it is a pretty face that is not familiar.
The warm greeting on the surface is actually a book-flipping memory in my mind. I didn't remember, but I felt that I must have been on the team together.
Due to too many times of leaving the team, teammates passed by like meteors. It's hard to remember the players who greeted or even had dinner together without writing travel notes. Unless it is the first side, I can love and hate it, but it is very difficult for me to love and hate it with my temper and character. Embarrassed, you can only use a smile to hide yourself (it always feels rude).
because everyone can't get into the water (someone needs to look at the things), I decided to stay on the shore first so that the team members can throw themselves into the embrace of the sea. As a result, the female player who just said hello was more determined than me to stay on the shore first and let everyone enjoy the gentleness and comfort of the sea. I was deeply moved by this, and decided to remember this beautiful face that I have been ignoring more deeply.
even if you are not exposed to the hot sun, the high temperature is still irritating, and the desire for the sea is urgent. However, you should be careful when you first enter the sea. The stimulation of the low temperature of seawater can easily cause muscle spasms and cramps, and it is still very dangerous if it is not well controlled.
I tried to get into the sea water and let my body adapt to the temperature of the sea water little by little. And after adapting, slowly walk into a slightly deeper place.
Strictly speaking, I can't swim (a few simple swims won't last long), and I dare not go into too deep sea water even if I wear a life jacket. This is inconsistent with the rhythm of my companions who went to the sea together. In a flash, I couldn't find anyone else (in the sea, it is difficult to find familiar faces in countless heads on the sea). Slightly lonely, I can only swim intermittently in a small area in the sea.
Apart from swimming skills, it's hard to describe the feeling that seawater gives me.
I feel a little cold, but it's warm; Timid and motionless, it is difficult to stay in the sea for a long time; This requires me to keep exercising and use my inner feelings.
it feels soft, but it is a little dangerous; After a little relaxation, a sip of salty seawater is inevitable, which requires me to master swimming skills and learn to use life jackets.
I feel a little hurt, but I am tolerant; It is inevitable to cut and stab rocks, shells and sea urchins on the seabed, and it will never be infected; To avoid injury, I need to swim in the sea constantly.
people who are not particularly familiar with the sea find it difficult to tell the direction. Even if we play in shallow water by the sea, we need to look back to the shore from time to time to find the place where we went to sea. If we don't pay attention, we will deviate far away.
My loneliness didn't last long, and I soon found some familiar faces in the sea, such as Yunxuan and Guoguo Hong.
With the company of teammates, we are more interested in playing. Apart from cruising, we also dig out small sea urchins, hermit crabs and starfish from time to time. The female players with higher fun like these little things very much, and like Dianren and me, they are willing to add a stronger stroke to their happy mood by capturing these things.
sometimes you forget the time when you are in the mood. When Guoguo Hong was about to send the full harvest to the shore, I suddenly remembered the female teammate who was still guarding the goods on the shore. I should go up and replace her, and let her enjoy the softness and warmth of the sea.
I didn't expect to go ashore, but I met this female teammate in the shallows. Then just visible and walked into the sea with her. I didn't understand until I got to the sea. People's feelings about the sea are much smoother than mine (I'm afraid people are in danger, so take care of them).
Later, I spent more time with her and got to know each other by talking.
her name is indifferently. She is not a member of the Pathfinder Group and the Cheetah Group, but a member of the Walking Life Group.
in my impression, the group strolling through life is full of colleagues from her unit. And the only chance to be out of the team with colleagues walking around the life unit is Yujingshan. I just can't remember who it was, because it was too short and there were too many strange faces.
And we also know that we met in the "Snowflake Beer Cup" national mountaineering competition in Benxi on June 28th (she asked me the ranking).
It's just a great failure, and I still can't remember it. But it doesn't matter, I just need to remember this time.
as time goes on, the interest in taking pictures increases. I and the faint people both have cameras, so we took out our cameras to shoot.
to be honest, shooting at the seaside feels very different. On the surface, there are many materials that can be borrowed. However, when you think about it carefully, the material is relatively monotonous. The background of the sea is basically the same except for the shore, boats, beaches and people. You can only use these materials in rotation, unless you put the shooting perspective on more specific things.
After the filming, everyone was still in high spirits and went back to the sea to play again. In high spirits, I simply abandoned my teammates and slowly touched the shore along the rocky places on the seabed to see if I could catch something at the bottom of the sea. The harvest is really quite a lot. Starfish, hermit crabs and sea urchins are everywhere.
when we returned to the shore again, it was already late and the people on the shore had gradually dispersed. This also means that our afternoon activities should be over.
in the process of packing and retreating, I found that my things were gone. When I asked the team members, I knew that I had been taken back by my teammates in the same dormitory. It suddenly occurred to me that I had no chance to play with them all afternoon. Although we came at the same time, we were separated from them as soon as we got into the sea. I feel a little guilty and embarrassed in my heart. I must never be separated from them again tonight.

After going back to the dormitory and greeting my roommates, I took a short rest.
Because it's still early for dinner, five people in my roommate made an appointment to visit the market in liguan, and at the same time, we made an advance stop for entertainment in the evening.
The markets in liguan are not big, but they are very busy. The contents of commodities are mostly related to the sea, which reflects a unique seaside style. Sister Yan, a colleague, gave us a general introduction to the situation here because she has been here. In a good mood, we simply rented a four-wheeled sightseeing bus to ride on the street.
The feeling of riding sightseeing bus is different from strolling in the market. Feel the whole seaside market with a completely browsing mentality. In the process of riding, you often have to compete with similar tourists from time to time. Whether you know each other or not, you should say hello and then laugh it off. Even if they raise their cameras to shoot, they will never attract criticism of portrait rights and privacy rights. When they met famous brand cars, they all laughed and shouted the joke of "just slow down".
the rental time in sightseeing bus is one hour, but it is difficult to grasp the time of one hour under the interest. We are strictly punctual, so we only left a few minutes to shoot at a very good trestle.
At this moment, I secretly regret it. It turns out that renting sightseeing bus also has disadvantages.
after the hasty shooting, time is already tight. We had to ride the car very fast in order to get back to the rental office within an hour. It was not until then that I discovered that this street is also very long, and it is easy to ride out. It is quite difficult to ride back in a limited time. Also thanks to our outdoor, physical quality is good, not mess.
unfortunately, although we were able to ride back in a limited time, we were so busy that we completely forgot which store we rented a car from. When I couldn't find it everywhere, I was so anxious that I had to turn back and look for it one by one.
when people are anxious, they are prone to blind spots in their thinking. I suddenly woke up and stood up to look at the sign on the back of the car. It turned out to be the No.1 car.
It's easy to get directions. After asking, I quickly found a car rental shop. Just look at the time, it's an hour early. Fortunately, the store did not care, collected the rent and returned to my ID card where I mortgaged it. It seems that tourists linger and miss the time, and they are used to it for the store.
by the time we got back to the dormitory, dinner had already started. Start dinner in a hurry.
The content of the dinner was not very rich (after all, we didn't pay that much money), but people were still full of enthusiasm. We were less picky about the food when we enjoyed ourselves, and most importantly, we were all immersed in the pleasure of the sea.
after dinner, we saw that it was still early for the bonfire party, so we went shopping again until it was dark and we couldn't shoot.
In the dormitory, we chatted while waiting for the bonfire in the evening; And prepare to go out and feel the seaside night after the bonfire.
during this period, I was asked out by some people. Because I decided to stay with my roommate at night, although I was very embarrassed, I had to refuse.
The bonfire at night was quite lively, and many teammates devoted themselves to this joyful atmosphere. I am the kind of person behind the scenes. I am not suitable for this kind of joy on the table. I am not good at singing and dancing, and I don't like it. I can only be an audience who boos and joins in.
obviously, the others in my roommate are similar to me. But indifferently, they didn't participate enthusiastically, perhaps they were really unsuitable or shy. Just because of the overall needs, we must appear here to make this joy more complete and beautiful.
seeing that it was almost time, we quietly left and continued our evening activities.
I have an appointment with Brother Shui, but I can't find anyone everywhere. I want to leave early with my teammates for a seaside leisure at night. The offer was indifferent and Yun Xuan, but they didn't like drinking and went back to sleep early. In fact, I can't drink much either, mainly to feel the night in the seaside town. After all, I don't know much about it, and I don't like it too much. Six of us left the bonfire and walked into the seaside town at night.
We choose "Oktoberfest Casino" as our leisure place. I ordered something at random, asked for some beer, and enjoyed the entertainment programs in the casino while drinking.
Entertainment programs are a bit bad, but they create a lot of fun. Even if I don't like it (tentatively called vulgarity, but vulgarity also has the value of existence), I won't refuse it. Anyway, it goes in one ear and out the other.
on such occasions, I prefer to use something different.
