One summer afternoon. Anna, a twenty-five-year-old brown-haired girl, came out of a magnificent mansion and walked along the path to the avenue, appearing in a hurry. When she saw her father, she was a little surprised and annoyed. Her father was a well-dressed old gentleman, standing in front of a black British car, talking about something with the driver.
Anna: So you are here... I'm still looking for you upstairs...
There was a moment of silence. Anna's father deliberately ignored her. She stared at him intently, trying to judge his emotions, she was hesitant in her heart, not knowing what to say to him before going out. He finally turned his face back to look at her.
Father: Ah, I thought you would have crossed the ocean long ago!
Anna was about to have an attack, but she realized that if the discussion broke out, it would not turn into sarcasm and sarcasm as usual, so she immediately restrained herself.
Anna: No, Dad, I haven't gone yet.
Her father stared at her sarcastically for a long time. Just because he saw his daughter's eagerness, he deliberately stayed with her.
Father: Do you still wear sailor hats now and then? The name of the yacht is also printed on the hat.
Anna: No, Dad, it's out of fashion.
There was another moment of silence. At this time, a car drove over and stopped on the other side of the avenue. In the car was Anna's girlfriend Claudia, twenty-four years old and blond. She and the driver both got out of the car and stood aside cautiously, waiting for their father and daughter to finish their conversation. Anna's father nodded carelessly at Claudia and continued the conversation. Claudia smiled at him, polite but half-hearted.
Father: How long are you going to go?
Anna: Four or five days!
Father: (helplessly) Ah, very good. I spend the weekend alone, so I can rest. I should have been used to this a long time ago.
Anna stared at him angrily, barely remaining calm.
Anna: What are you used to?
Father: I am used to my retirement. Not only is I no longer a diplomat, but I am also not a father.
Anna: (Protest, but full of sympathy) How can you say that!
Father: Because this is the truth. I have never told the truth to anyone in the past 30 years, at least let me tell the truth with my daughter.
Anna: Do you have anything else to tell me the truth?
Father: You already know.
Anna: You mean Sandro, right? Well, I beg you to forgive me! Goodbye, Dad.
She kissed her father on the cheek, but he was indifferent. Obviously he still has something to say. He looked at his daughter with a bit of pity, and finally spoke.
Father: This kind of person will never marry you, my child.
Anna could hardly control herself, but her appearance was calm when she answered.
Anna: Dad, so far, I don't want to marry him.
Father: This is one thing. Goodbye, my dear.
Only then did he give his daughter a kiss, and then walked towards the entrance of the house without looking back. At this point, Claudia entered the foreground.
After an argument with her father, Anna was still nervous and upset, and got into the car with Claudia, and the driver put her suitcase in the back of the car.
Claudia: I made you wait for a long time, right? please forgive.
Anna didn't answer, only patted Claudia's hand. The car moved. Anna's maid stood by the side of the road and waved goodbye enthusiastically. Claudia waved to her in response, and Anna turned to the driver without even looking at it.
Anna: Please drive faster, Alva, we are late.
The car galloped along the dusty road, across the long and verdant green area, until it reached the arch of a stone wall, turned around and disappeared from the picture.
The car emerged from behind a concrete wall again and drove on a highway sandwiched between high walls. There were no other vehicles on the road, and there was silence. This is an old-fashioned highway with beautiful and pleasant scenery. Claudia admired the scenery; Anna still waned her anger. The car turned another turn and drove into a narrow path with aristocratic manor-like gardens on both sides. Suddenly, it drove onto a boring modern street, mixed with the torrent of cars that all modern cities have.
The car finally drove into the street where Sandlow lived and stopped in front of a small and exquisite palace-like building. Anna and Claudia got out of the car. The driver took the suitcase from the back compartment. Claudia said to Anna.
Claudia: I am waiting for you here.
Anna turned and crossed the road, and was about to walk into a building. Claudia stopped her in amazement.
Claudia: You...Where are you going?
Anna: I'm thirsty.
Claudia: If a man waited for me for half an hour, and we haven't seen each other for a month...
Anna stopped suddenly. She looked sullen.
Anna: Do you know, it doesn't matter if I see him or not today.
Claudia: What? Let's drive this long journey... (Claudia suddenly stops, trying to make fun of it to break the embarrassing situation) Oh, I see... Farewell, yacht... Farewell, sailing at sea...
Anna ignored Claudia's joke, she still thought about her own thoughts.
Anna: You know, it's really terrible for two people to be so far apart. Really, it is very difficult for two people to stay in a romantic relationship without being together. But at the same time...it also has a comforting side. Because it gives you a chance to consider what you need and whether the need is urgent...If he is always in front of you...Yes Ming, he is right in front of you... (annoyed), let's go back...
Claudia caught a glimpse of Sandro leaning against the window of his second-floor apartment and staring at them. This is a 35-year-old man with his shirt open and his chest buttoned and no tie on. He realized that they had seen him, so he smiled at them and waved happily.
Sandlow: I'll be down right away!
Anna seemed to be suddenly driven by a strong impulse and walked towards the door of the house. Claudia looked at her in surprise, watched her disappear into the doorway, looked up at the window upstairs, Sandro was no longer in front of the window.
Sandlow’s apartment room is very small, full of books, the whole room makes people feel like a place where people are not always good. Sandlow had just finished tying his tie, closed his suitcase and walked towards the door, then turned back, picked up a towel that had fallen off the bed, and sent it to the bathroom. He walked to the door again, opened the door, and saw Anna. She looked restless, and before he could speak, she walked into the room and closed the door behind her. Sandro put down the suitcase to hug her, but Anna flashed aside, staring at him intently, as if not letting go of any subtleties of him. She looked at his clothes, his hands, his legs, his leather shoes. Her gaze returned to his face and she began to observe carefully. Sandro felt inexplicable about her being this way, so she shrugged and said jokingly.
Sandlow: Do you still have to look at the profile?
He turned to the side, turning like a mannequin in a shop window. Anna continued to stare at him, this time she was looking into his eyes. At this time, Sandro no longer treated her as a joke.
Sandlow: What's wrong with you?
Anna finally stopped her scrutiny and walked around the house holding Sandro's hand. She stopped in front of the mirror and looked at her figure, the expression on her face becoming severe and decisive. As she unbuttoned her clothes, she looked in the mirror. Sandji leaned close to her shoulder, stroked her hair, and whispered in her ear.
Sandro: But your friend is still downstairs!
Anna: She will wait...
Anna turned to cling to him excitedly, even surprised Sandro. But it was only a moment, and then they kissed each other feverishly, and Sandro indulged himself with almost animal joy.
The lonely Claudia was pacing outside the house, waiting to be upset. She was thinking about crossing the street, but saw Sandro and Anna coming out from the door. The expression on Anna's face did not change, she was still in a bad mood and depressed. But Claudia didn't pay any attention. She was annoyed by Anna's inhumanity. She didn't hesitate to let these two people understand that she was bored by such a task.
The car parked on the side of the road was heading in the direction of Milan, and Sandello said to Claudia as he opened the window of the car.
Sandlow: I think you probably don't want to be alone.
Claudia: (Look at Sandro first, then Anna) I think you are the same...
At this time, the driver put Anna's suitcase into Sandlow's car. Claudia also lifted his suitcase, and Sandro reached out and took the suitcase.
Sandlow: Don't wrong yourself too much.
Claudia: What should I do...arrogant and rude?
Sandlow: Of course...arrogant, pretentious... Didn't Anna teach you this?
When the two of them were talking, Anna was already in Sandlow's car. Sandro went in and sat at the steering wheel; Claudia sat beside him. The car starts at high speed.
The car drove south along a national highway, the road was wide and straight, and the car was driving at high speed. It was already dusk, and night slowly fell, and the surrounding scenery was enveloped in a mysterious color.
All three people in the car sat silently. Anna fell into meditation. Claudia looked out of the car window, and the dusky landscape fascinated her. A car caught up and tried to overtake. Sandlow stepped on the gas, the car rushed forward, and the car was pulled behind. When turning at the intersection, instead of slowing down, Sandro drove faster, driven by the increasingly gloomy atmosphere around him.
Sandro suddenly turned on his headlights, and the bright light turned the road outside into darkness, and Claudia could not see anything. She turned to Sandro disappointedly.
Claudia: Still as good-looking as before!
Sandlow obediently turned off the headlights. The surrounding scenery was once again shrouded in a dense, romantic night.
Sandlow: Is this okay?
Claudia looked at the scenery again—but only for a while. Sandlow suddenly turned on his headlight again, illuminating a sharp turn on the road ahead, only about a hundred meters away. He quickly shifted to slow gear, and the body was a little shaken. Because of the sudden change from fourth to third gear, the machine made a sharp hiss. The car galloped toward the turn, getting closer and closer. Because the speed is too fast, it seems that you can't turn this corner. There is a stone wall on one side of the road where it is invisible to the detour ahead. At this time, even Anna couldn't help but widen her eyes nervously. She and Claudia were dumbfounded as they watched the detour and the stone wall approach. Fifty meters, forty meters, ten meters... Suddenly, the car lights illuminated a gap in the outer wall of three or four meters, just beside the small ditch between the road and the stone wall. At this time, desperate, the car leaped over the small ditch with frightening speed of fifty miles an hour, barely climbed to the other side of the ditch, and rushed into the gap in the wall. The car stopped suddenly, but it slid a long way forward on the muddy clearing, and finally stopped in front of an old man at the door of a small farmhouse. He sat on the bench and witnessed what was happening, but he didn't move a little bit.
There was a brief silence. Then Sandro got out of the car, and Claudia and Anna followed. Claudia was in a panic, leaning on the house to support her body, as if to find a solid support. She felt even more upset because she felt that she was responsible.
Claudia: It's all my fault.
Sandro didn't complain about her, he apologized to the old man because he broke into his private house. The old man looked at him nonchalantly and said.
Old man: Who did you open this gap?
As soon as the old man's voice fell, Sandro heard Anna laugh before she could express her surprise. People often laugh hysterically after getting out of danger, and that's normal. But she smiled heartily and purely, and seemed very happy, which made Sandro and Claudia feel inexplicable.
Claudia: What's so funny about that.
Sandlow: I said the same. We almost died.
Anna looked at them and continued to smile.
Anna: I'm sorry...but I just can't help but want to laugh...
Off the coast of Sicily, between the Ionian Islands, on the calm sea, a yacht is sailing steadily. It is heading towards a small island a hundred meters away, which seems to emerge from the bottom of the sea. A large piece of rock, its outline is clearly set off between the sea and the sky. Several seagulls circled lazily in the sky.
On the yacht, the sailor at the helm was smoking his pipe comfortably, while the other sailor was eating bread with meat and looking at the water. It was almost noon.
Raimundo, a young man in his thirties with tanned skin, lay straight on the top of the cabin, basking in the sun. Claudia lay on a small rubber cushion in the bow: her arms were drooping over the side of the boat, and she stretched out her hands to play with the lightly stirred waves of the bow. Corrado came out of the cabin, put a chair cushion on the stern bench to avoid staining his clothes, and then sat down. He is wearing a white suit that is beautifully tailored but is slightly outdated. He has a sharp camera, looks shrewd and smart. He is close to fifty in his forties. Julia followed him, she was the kind of unbearable woman, extremely coy, trying to attract attention. The posture she made when she looked at the water, and the squeaky voice when she spoke, clearly outlined her character.
Julia: The sea is as smooth as oil.
Corrado: The analogy of oil is really unappetizing.
Anna also walked on the deck, looked around, saw Claudia walk over and lay beside her. Claudia turned on her back and opened her arms to receive the beautiful sunshine. Her arms touched Anna. Anna smiled and embraced Claudia lovingly.
Claudia: Did you sleep well?
Anna: I slept well. I slept with cakes last night. I was going to lie in bed and think about my thoughts... It's a pity that I fell asleep all of a sudden.
Claudia: I really didn't know that I would sleep so well on a yacht, like sleeping in a cradle...
Sandro's greeting interrupted their conversation. He walked up to give Anna a warm hug, and nodded to Claudia. He appeared at ease, lay on the deck, opened a pictorial in his hand, and began to look. But Anna said, covering the page he was looking at with her hand.
Anna: You'd better bask in the sun.
Sandlow closed the pictorial and threw it out of the ship's rail. After falling into the water, the paper sheets scattered, and some were quickly rolled into the bottom of the water, while others drifted with the waves, like white spots scattered on the sea, and seagulls shouted loudly to surround them.
Sandlow stretched out in the sun, and Anna looked at him tenderly. She planned to hug him, but paused, changed her mind, and began to look at him with an anxious expression. Suddenly, she put her troubles behind her head, clinging to him, wanting to accept his caress. Sandlow responded with a short kiss. Seeing this, Claudia stood up and turned to the other side of the bow. Sandro and Anna kept their original positions until a shadow fell over them. Sandro opened his eyes and sat up, and Anna sat up with him.
The small reef island is already in front of you, and the reef of Doushao is almost hanging overhead. The island is much larger than previously seen, casting a long black shadow on the yacht. Below the reef, the level is like a mirror, and the bottom is crystal clear. Sandlow stood up and shouted to the people on the ship.
Sandlow: Shall we go for a swim?
Claudia: Oh, no...don't...don't swim here. It looks too dangerous here.
The yacht circled the island, and another island appeared in front of it. It has a smaller area and more beautiful scenery, which is not so daunting. Corrado stood up and walked to the bow Sandro, Anna, and Claudia. Julia walked over and stared at the surrounding scenery.
Julia: There was a period when the Ionian Islands were all active volcanoes.
Corrado: Your third grade geography must be memorized.
Julia felt embarrassed and looked at him angrily. Claudia asked, pointing to an island they had just passed by.
Claudia: What is the name of that island?
Corrado: It should be Lozo Island, Brazil.
Claudia: The name is like a kind of fish-Merlozzo (Note 1), Brazillozzo...
Corrado pointed to a smaller island in front of them.
Corrado: This must be Lisca Bianca.
Anna had been staring at the surrounding scenery, still looking preoccupied. Suddenly, she unbuttoned her thin clothes, revealing the swimsuit inside. She said to this group with a bit of anger.
Anna: Oh my god... can swimmers talk so much nonsense for a swim?
The boat seemed to be a little slower, and she walked to the side of the boat. Before Sandlow could stop her, she had jumped into the water.
Sandlow: Anna!
After Anna got into the water, she swam to the island. The sailor at the helm slowed the ship's speed a bit slower, and let the captain follow Anna. Raimundo put on his diving mask and was tightening a belt around his waist with a long fishing gun in the belt. The yacht continued to slow down. Sandro jumped into the water and swam towards Anna. Claudia and Julia also took off their clothes and prepared to go into the water. But the ship was still moving, and Claudia did not dare to dive, she shouted at the sailor.
Claudia: Stop...Stop the ship!
The engine went out and the yacht stopped. A sailor lowered the ladder by the side of the ship, and Claudia climbed down the steps and slid into the water. She swam up and left the hull. Julia followed her down the ladder, but stopped on the last stage.
Julia: How about the water?
Sandro looked at her and said, pointing to the highest rock on the island.
Sandro: Julia, let people see you jumping into the water from the top of a rocky cliff. That's amazing! come on! Julia, your life is too valuable.
Julia: How come everyone is against me today.
A woman's shout came from the cabin.
Patricia: Raimondo!
Patricia came out of the cabin, wearing a pajamas that was as thin as a wing, and Raymondo eagerly walked toward her. She is a graceful and luxurious woman in her thirties.
Patricia: Why did the ship stop?
Raimundo: (kissing her hand) Mrs. Patricia! ...
He held her hand and led her towards the bow, Corrado greeted her and kissed her hand likewise.
Corrado: Don't you swim, Patricia?
Patricia: You can't figure it out, how can I do this! Raimundo, why don't you go swimming for a while?
She turned around to look at Raimundo, only to notice that he was full of diving equipment, wearing a mask, carrying a fishing gun, and so on. She couldn't help being a little surprised.
Patricia: Raimondo...Do you like underwater fishing?
Raimundo: I hate it, but what can I do...because this is the most fashionable now...I have to follow the trend.
Raimundo jumped into the water and shivered as soon as he touched the water, he cried.
Raimundo: Who said that humans were once marine creatures!
He put down the mask and started to dive. Patricia looked out to the sea from the deck. She covered the dazzling sunlight with her hands, talking.
Patricia: I will never understand these islands. It's so pitiful to be alone in a vast ocean...
On the surface of the sea, Sandro and Anna were almost still, but they floated their bodies by gently dipping their arms in the water. Sandro talked and laughed, just like sunshine and sea water, all these purely physiological enjoyments dispelled all his worries. Anna imagined them like that, but couldn't do it. She still shows a sad face from time to time.
Anna: When do you have to go back?
Sandro: I don’t know... It’s all about Etole... He is now negotiating a contract here in Sicily...
Anna: Then why didn't you come with him?
Sandlow: It's weird you asked...not because I want to be with you. I hope he won’t make a deal, so that at least he can give me a few days of free time... how beautiful this water is!
He lay on the water with his eyes closed, facing the sun, quietly enjoying the sway of the sea. Anna looked at him and said after a moment of silence.
Anna: I want to find a place where I can be quiet and comfortable, maybe near here. I want to find and try...
Sandro: What could be quieter than this... (He opens his eyes and stands upright in the water) Sorry, what do you want to find?
Anna did not answer, and quickly swam to the open sea. Sandlow wanted to chase her back, but because she was swimming too fast, he had to give up, when he found that Julia had already swam to his side.
Julia: (pointing to Anna) What is she going to do?
Sandlow: Go and ask herself.
Julia didn't swim very well. She was swimming in freestyle, but after a while she came out of the water, and then was submerged in the water, as if she was about to sink. But she can barely drift, she is as happy as a child.
Raimundo was exploring in the nearby deep water, holding a fishing gun in his hand, ready to shoot at any time. He seemed to be chasing an escaped fish, but the water was so clear that it was hard for the fish to hide. Sure enough, after a while, Raymondo suddenly raised his fishing gun to aim, and pulled the trigger to fire the harpoon. In a moment, the waves splashed everywhere, and he chased the fish and swam away quickly.
A sailor paddled a rubber raft to bring Corrado to the shore, and the raft drove past where people were swimming. The sailor and Corrado were chatting.
Sailor: I have been working on a yacht...though it is the most tiring job.
Corrado: Why?
Sailor: Because the owner is not always on time. For example, last night we worked all night...and we didn't have time to sleep. But I still prefer to do this business.
As the raft drove past Sandro, Corrado called to him.
Corrado: I went ashore to take a look at the island. I heard that there are some ruins on it...
Sandlow: Is there also...
Corrado: Of course, we are still in Italy!
The raft continued to drive towards the shore. Not far away, Claudia floated on his back, bathed in the sun, eyes closed, almost motionless. She spread her arms and just flicked her fingers lightly to float herself. Suddenly, her finger touched something sticky...like a fish splashing onto the water. At first, Claudia only pulled his hand back, not too lazy to see what it was, but it pinned her tightly. She opened her eyes and saw something swimming next to her, which made her scream. At this moment, Raimundo's rafters and fins came out of the water behind the fish, and she understood: it was Raimundo. He took off his mask and laughed, and Claudia splashed water on his face to play tricks.
Anna looked at them from a few meters away. She had returned from swimming in the sea and was about to rendezvous with Claudia. But Claudia was busy chasing Raimundo and ignored her.
Raymondo left her far behind and swam up to Sandro.
Sandro: What kind of fish did you catch?
Raimondo: Just one.
Sandlow: Oh my god, it's so big.
Claudia stopped chasing Raimundo. She swam to Julia. Julia was watching Corrado land on a long strip of sand. The white sand was dazzling against the background of black rocks. Crowdy was very happy, she dived into the water and grabbed one of Julia's legs, came up, and went down again. Julia was infected by this emotion, and she ignored Corrado and happily quarreled with her.
Suddenly Anna screamed.
Anna: Shark! ...A shark!
They all turned to look at her, and Anna swam desperately towards the yacht. The rough voice of a sailor on the boat yelled immediately.
Sailor: Don't move, miss...Stop don't move...Stop, everyone don't move.
Sandlow ignored the warning and swam towards Anna like crazy. Raimundo, who was climbing up the yacht from the escalator, slammed back into the sea with a fishing gun in his hand, swimming towards Anna. Claudia was frightened and at a loss, clutching Julia tightly.
Anna stopped paddling and looked around carefully to see if anything got out of the water. After that, she looked up and saw Sandro and Raymondo swimming approaching, she cried.
Anna: Don't come here!
They all stopped for a while. Raymondo put on his mask and dived into the water. Sandro continued to swim towards Anna until she reached her side.
Sandlow: Anna...
Anna said nothing. They swam back to the yacht in silence. Claudia and Julia have climbed onto the yacht. Patricia came out of the cabin to see what was going on.
They all leaned over the ship's side, looking at the sea, waiting for the shark to emerge at any time. But the surface of the water has been very calm, and the seaweed under the water can be seen clearly, just like many small fans are fluttering. Even the rocks at the bottom of the water are clearly visible, and many small fish with sharp gills swim through the gaps between the rocks. This is a magical and fascinating underwater world, but because of what has just happened, it is another frightening world. Everyone on the boat remained silent until Anna, Sandro and Raimundo swam back and climbed onto the deck. Sandlow immediately helped Anna back to the cabin. Others followed along and talked.
Claudia: (to Anna) How did you find it, did it touch you?
Anna didn't answer, she just walked forward amidst noisy discussions.
Julia: If it were me, I would have to be scared to death.
Patricia:...They grow so scary...with so many teeth...
Corrado: (calling from the shore) What's the matter?
Julia: (calling from the bow) There is a shark here, don't move!
Corrado: Who moved?
The cabin is divided into small rooms with partitions, neatly arranged, and some pictures are decorated on the walls. Claudia followed Sandro and Anna and walked into Anna's room. The room was very small, with two camp beds on one side, and a long curtain half-blocked the wardrobe, revealing a few pieces of clothes inside.
Anna is wearing a bathing suit, her body is drenched, and a lock of hair sticks to her face. Anna curled up on the cot without waiting to dry her body, and Claudia helped her wrap her in a blanket. Sandro and Claudia guarded her with great concern. A sailor came in with a tray with half a glass of wine on it. Sandlow took the wine and handed it to Anna.
Sandro: Come on, drink some brandy.
Anna categorically refused, Sandlow had to put the wine glass on the shelf, and the sailor left. Anna looked up at Sandro and Claudia, satisfied with their ardent concern.
Anna: Nothing...really, let's go up... it's okay. (Pause, she shivered in a blanket after a moment) I just want to change clothes, I'm a little cold.
Sandro went out, leaving Anna and Claudia there alone. The rest of the people were still crowded out of the cabin, chattering non-stop. Between these words, Patricia's words were clearly heard.
Patricia: But where did the shark swim?
As soon as Sandro closed the door of the ship, Anna suddenly got up from the bed innocently, approached the curtain, and drew it open, revealing a row of women's clothes. She hesitated while choosing, and finally picked two and threw them on the bed.
Anna: Which one should I wear?
Claudia: (picking up one of them) This one is simply beautiful.
Anna: Then why don't you try?
Anna dried her body with a large bath towel, and Claudia put on that dress and looked in the mirror, with a look that was pretty popular.
Anna: You look better than me when you wear it... Keep it! ...
Anna took off her bathing suit and continued to talk to Claudia, her voice filled with excitement and joy.
Anna: Did you know that the shark thing is a joke at all.
Claudia couldn't help being stunned, as if he didn't know her. She was very angry. But instead of saying that she was mad at Anna, it was better to say she was mad at herself.
Claudia: The difference between me and you is that you know how to deal with something, but I can't do it. Sometimes I really envy you.
Anna was already neatly dressed, opened the door and went out. Claudia followed.
On the deck, Sandro, Patricia, Raimundo, and Julia looked out of the ship, and a sailor approached the yacht in a rubber raft. Julia looked at the waves splashing on the raft and said in her usual posture.
Julia: Are you afraid of it?
Sailor: Madam, sharks never attack humans. In addition, the raft is black, and they can't see it at all.
Patricia: Then it is true that they are blind...
Anna appeared at the door of the cabin, Sandro rushed forward to greet her, and was surprised to see her full of energy, but she seemed to have forgotten what had just happened.
Sandlow: How are you doing?
Anna: Great. Can't you see it?
Anna walked to the side of the boat and stood at the top of the escalator for launching.
Anna: I really want to go ashore, are you coming?
She began to walk down, and Sandlow quickly followed.
Sandlow: Anna... wait a while, okay?
Anna: What are you waiting for?
Patricia: Since there is a shark in this area, if it were me, I wouldn't be able to get on the raft. I have to let them catch it first. Whether it's alive or dead, I always have to watch it throw it under my feet to rest assured.
Claudia: It's better to die.
But by this time Anna had already boarded the raft, and Sandlow followed her. Julia stared at Corrado in white on the beach. She wanted to stay with him. This wish exceeded her fear of sharks, so she asked the sailor below.
Julia: Can you take the three of us?
Sailor: Of course, of course. Some are places.
Patricia turned and walked towards the boat. Raimundo followed her. Julia got down on the raft. When the raft left the big ship, it bumped, and she screamed hysterically. Anna shouted to Claudia with a smile.
Anna: Claudia, are you not coming?
Claudia: I didn't intend to swim over.
Anna: We will send the raft back to pick you up.
Julia: Bring a few cushions and a big towel when you come over...
Claudia nodded in agreement, standing there watching the waves splashing on the ship's side. Suddenly, she looked at the horizon, the sun had disappeared behind the clouds, and there were dense clouds on the horizon.
The sailor on the yacht gestured to the sailor on the raft. After the sailor on the raft had sent Sandro, Anna, and Julia ashore, they were coming back to pick Claudia. At this time he probed the seabed with an oar, and then called to the yacht.
Sailor: Okay, come on, come on.
The sailor on the boat walked over to Kefdia and said.
Sailor: I drove the yacht near the shore. When we get there, we will put down the springboard, than you can get off the springboard.
He disappeared in the cabin, and after a while, the yacht began to approach the shore. Claudia looked at the distant scenery, the islands set off between the sea and the sky, and the outlines were very sharp. The volcano of Strombol was filled with smoke; a sea boat passed by in the distance. Claudia was obviously fascinated by the scenery. She settled down and walked to the cabin.
Patricia is sitting at a small table in the cabin, busy setting up a complicated jigsaw puzzle, which should be a typical classical landscape painting. She chose the cardboard pieces one by one and put them in the right place. At the same time, she was chewing on a cookie with jam and a piece of frozen fruit in her mouth. Raymondo stayed beside her, staring at her. He was so absorbed that it made her upset. While continuing to jiggle, he said.
Patricia: What do you want, Raimondo? do you want me? A few years ago, this might be...but now...and, is it all right now in broad daylight?
When Claudia walked off the escalator down the cabin, he heard the last few words, thinking that he should go back. But Patricia had already seen her and told her to come back.
Patricia: Come on, Claudia, come in... There is nothing to hide here.
Claudia walked in. Raimundo continued to look at Patricia, especially her legs. Patricia felt Raimundo's gaze, and lifted her skirt up affirmatively so that he could see clearly.
Patricia: It's done, have you seen enough? Satisfied?
Raymond nodded. Claudia looked at their behavior, both interesting and surprised.
Patricia went on playing her game nonchalantly, and Raymondo continued to stare at her. The target of the gaze this time is her breasts. Patricia felt his gaze again, and she looked bored and looked at the ceiling with a helpless look. Raimundo stretched out his hand and gently stroked Patricia's breasts. Claudia was surprised. Raimondo withdrew his hand.
Patricia: (Unfortunately) To be honest, are you a little disappointed? ...But I told you a long time ago...
Raimundo: If a woman's breasts are colored, yours should be blue...
Patricia laughed at Raimondo's remarks, looked at him with some pity, then turned to Claudia and said.
Patricia: You said, Claudia, what do you think of Raimondo?
Claudia: I think he is utterly vulgar.
Patricia: Ah, no, it's quite the opposite. He is a child at all.
Raimundo: Patricia, here again... I would rather you say that I'm vulgar, unless you love children specifically. ...
Patricia: You know I love no one.
Raimundo: (annoyed) I know, fuck, I know. (To Claudia) Think about it, if you talk about corruption, depravity, capriciousness... and... and arrogance, luxury and promiscuity, she really deserves to be compared to any woman. Alas, but she was very faithful, because she was too lazy to do it...because she didn't want to do anything.
Raimondo's upset look made Patricia laugh.
Patricia: He is really fun, except for the puzzle game, I really don't know anything more interesting than this. What do you say, Claudia?
Claudia: This is only appropriate for people who are obsessed with each other.
Patricia: Have you ever been in love?
Claudia: It's hard to say that you've really been in love... It's so mad here... Let's go up!
Claudia left the cabin and walked onto the deck. Patricia continues her game. Raymondo continued to stare at her.
Sandro, Anna, Corrado, and Julia are all waiting for Claudia to come ashore on the long, narrow sandy beach of Riska Bianca. The island is sparsely located in the east and west, with shrubs growing. It is basically a large piece of rock, surrounded by cliffs, standing on the sea, and the protruding rock promontory adds a primitive and ruggedness. Beauty.
Anna and Sandro climbed a few steps on the rock, looking for a comfortable place to lie down and stretch. Corrado looked at them and said.
Corrado: Whoever wants to put on a swimsuit again, we won't have to meet again this year. As long as you have seen you being naked on the beach, seeing me again in the city can't bear it.
The yacht finally landed and put the springboard on the beach. Claudia stepped off the boat and stopped as she wade onto the shore, bent over and dipped her hands in the water, pretending to talk to something in the water in the tone of her mother speaking to a baby.
Claudia: What a good boy... what a good baby!
They all turned their heads to look at her, wondering if she was talking about people or things.
Julia: Who are you talking to?
Claudia: Talk to the shark!
They all laughed. Claudia continued to joke, pretending to fall on the smooth rocks on the shore. Corrado looked at her in surprise, he had never expected her to be so lively, humorous, and full of wit.
Corrado: I said, Claudia, would you like to come up with me to have a look?
Claudia: What are you looking at?
Corrado: Look at the ruins. You know, these ruins are quite old.
In fact, among this group of people, the one who really wanted to explore was Claudia. She wanted to go sightseeing and fully enjoy everything she could enjoy on this sea trip.
Claudia: The idea is not bad. Wouldn't it be better if we all go?
Although everyone heard Claudia's proposal, they all stood still. The nap in the sun is refreshing and refreshing, and I really don't bother to climb the steep rock slope. Claudia simply followed Corrado up. But Julia ran after him immediately, grabbing his arm eagerly, and pleading in his ear.
Julia: I beg you, stay here!
Julia's pleading seemed so pitiful, Claudia couldn't help thinking. Although she didn't quite understand the motive of her pleading.
Corrado: (noting Claudia's hesitation) What's wrong with you?
Claudia: What's wrong?
Corrado: Have you made up your mind?
Claudia: I just said it was a good idea.
Corrado was disappointed. Had to come back unhappy, Claudia planned to find a place to rest among the rocks. Julia entangled with Corrado endlessly.
Julia: Why don't you invite me to go with you?
Corrado: Do you want to know the reason? Because when you see those ruins, you must say how beautiful they are! You say "how beautiful" everything you see, whether it's the sea, a little doll, or a cat! You are so affectionate, and you will feel uneasy about everything you see.
Sandro: (sarcastically) But Corrado... If that thing is really beautiful, why can't you say that?
Julia: (For Corrado) He never let go of the opportunity to make me foolish, so that I can understand that he doesn't take me seriously anymore.
Corrado: Julia, this sentence is too disproportionate to our sincere cohabitation for twelve years. I now declare publicly, once and for all, that I admire you. Are you satisfied with this?
Claudia: (speaking to Anna and Sandro in a low voice) Twelve years... Why didn't they get married?
Sandro: (slightly smiles) But why didn't they break up?
Claudia: I am also wondering, are they still in love?
Sandlow: Maybe. For people like them, everything is possible.
Sandro suddenly hugged Anna in his waist and pulled to his side. He came down very suddenly, even Anna was completely unexpected. At this time, Julia's voice came again.
Julia: (To Corrado) Your problem is that no one can talk to you.
Sandro: (persuasively) Julia, don't you know that the deeper the relationship with whom, the more difficult it is to talk?
Julia: You men are terrible.
Sandlow: I know that. And as the years go by, we will only get worse. What do you say, Corrado?
Corrado: I hope so.
A sailor came and broke through the tense atmosphere surrounding these people, carrying a basket of frozen peaches from the yacht in his hand. Claudia ran up to pick up a peach from the cargo, and quickly ate a bite.
Claudia: That's awesome!
Corrado: This is Patricia's way of expressing it to show that she is with us.
Claudia took another peach from the basket and handed it to Corrado.
Claudia: I think you are very likable, Corrado.
Corrado: Is it better than a shark?
Claudia: This is incomparable.
Corrado: Then why don't we go up and see the ruins?
Anna and Sandro left the crowd and walked up among the rocks to a hidden grass slope, from where they could see the beach.
Anna: Sandro... a month is too long, I'm used to not being with you anymore.
Sandlow: You will get used to it. This kind of uneasy feeling is very common.
Anna: It's not so unusual this time.
Sandlow: That means the adaptation time is a bit longer than before.
Anna: (Angry) But I think we should talk about it. Or maybe it is said that we don’t understand each other at all, right?
Sandlow: We will have plenty of time to talk about this in the future. We will get married soon, so there will be more time...
Anna: Actually, getting married is meaningless. Aren’t we the same as being married? Just look at Julia and Corrado, aren't they also married?
Sandro: Why bother with your tongue and make yourself unsure... Believe me, Anna, language is incompetent, it can only cause confusion. I love you, Anna, isn't that enough?
Anna: No: it's not enough. ...I just said that I want to leave you for a while and find a quiet place...
Sandlow: But you just said that after a month away too...
Anna: (Interrupting him) I want to leave for a longer period of time—two months...a year...three years...yes, I know it sounds ridiculous. I'm so sad. When I think of losing you, I would rather die... But... I... I just don't have the original feelings for you.
Sandlow: How was it yesterday? ……While in my house…Do you even have no feelings for me at that time?
Anna: (angrily) Here again... You have to make a mess.
She turned and walked away angrily. Sandro let out a long sigh, the quarrel seemed to exhaust him. Then he lay on the ground, closed his eyes and turned his back to the sky.
There are dense clouds over the small island of Liska Bianca. Although it was just two or three o'clock in the afternoon, the sky was gloomy and occasionally thunder came from a distance.
Sandlow put his arms behind his head and fell asleep. In the lower part, Claudia, Corrado and Julia are also resting. But the thunder rumbling awakened them one by one.
Julie Niu: It looks like the sky has changed.
Corrado: I said, Julia, do you have to tell the well-known facts? I can also see that the sky has changed.
Corrado raised his body lazily and looked around. He heard what seemed to be the sound of a motorboat, which seemed to come from the other side of the island. Claudia saw a sailor approaching, and stood up too.
Sailor: We should go now.
Claudia turned and saw Sandro sleeping there alone.
Claudia: Where is Anna? (Asking the sailor) Is she not on the boat?
Sailor: I don't know...because...we also took a nap...
In the cabin of the yacht, Patricia's jigsaw puzzle is about to be completed, there are only a few pieces left that have not been put together, but the blank that should be filled is very difficult to figure out. Raymondo was impatient with Patricia's contemplation.
Raimundo: You misspelled the part of the bush...so you always can't spell it.
Patricia: Don't worry, Raymondo. Why are you so impatient?
Claudia ashore shouted from outside.
Claudia: Patricia! ...
Patricia raised her eyes and glanced at the hatch indifferently. Raimundo immediately realized: This is to tell him to go up and see what's going on with Claudia. So he climbed onto the deck and saw Claudia on the shore.
Claudia: Is Anna over there?
Raimundo: I think it's not there.
He went to the hatch and looked inside, calling Anna's name. But there was no answer, he walked back to the boat and shouted.
Raimundo: She is not here.
At this time on the beach, Sandro was also looking for Anna, anxious because he could not find her.
Sandlow: (Talking to himself angrily) This temper can really drive people crazy.
Julia was standing on the shore and was about to walk back to the yacht from the springboard, but she was not worried about Anna's whereabouts, so she changed her mind and turned back. Claudia was very worried and planned to stay here to find her by himself. She turned and climbed on a rock, and Sandro had already climbed to the top of the rock from the other side.
The search was fruitless, and Anna disappeared without a trace. But Sandro continued to search this area, stopping from time to time to call Anna's name. He looked down the hillside and saw Claudia, Julia, and Corrado walking towards him.
Sandlow: Did you find her?
No one answered, but from their anxious expressions, they could not find her either. They continued to search separately. Claudia crossed the ground covered with white rocks and dry bushes and saw something moving behind a bush. She approached anxiously, and suddenly a scattered lamb came out of the bushes. She was very surprised, but somewhat relieved, she shouted to Corrado who was not far behind her.
Claudia: It's a lamb!
Corrado looked at her without saying a word, then stopped and looked at a pile of rocks in front of him. He concluded that this was the ruin he had wanted to visit before. He was about to go there when he suddenly remembered that Julia was following him. He immediately turned around and tried to get rid of her.
Sandro came to a small stone house leaning against the huge rock wall. He was walking forward, and another sheep came out from nowhere, and ran wildly frightened when he ran into Sandlow. Sandro tried to open the door of the stone house, but the door was locked. He looked at the sea, hesitating about his next move. He saw Claudia and Corrado approaching him.
Claudius: Did you find anything?
Sandlow: No.
Corrado: Maybe where is she swimming...
Although Corrado was equally disturbed by Anna's disappearance, he wanted to pretend to be nonchalant to ease the tension. He noticed the stone house in front of him, looked at it carefully and talked about it.
Corrado: There is nothing difficult in the world, this is the truth. Look here, look at this structure... This is a natural barrier. Sandlow, your house should be designed like this.
Sandlow: Me? ...I'm not interested in design for a long time...Besides, where can you find such a pebble dam in Milan?
Claudia walked to the small room and wanted to look in the window. Suddenly, she found a small piece of bread on the window sill. She picked it up and examined it carefully. It turned out that the bread was fresh.
Claudia: Someone must live here!
Corrado: (Brings the bread over to see) But Anna will not stay with this kind of person who lives here.
A sailor came from the shore and interrupted their discussion.
Sailor: It's time for us to start, the storm is coming soon.
Claudia: (Angry) What do you mean! What about Anna?
Sandro: (to the sailor) You tell Mrs. Patricia that we can't leave now. Moreover, we have to go around the island.
Sailor: You'd better go and tell the lady yourself, I can't bear the responsibility of mooring the boat here. ...Because there is no way to moor... Besides, you know this is a flat-bottomed boat, if the sea is too windy and waves...
Sandro: (Angry) What does that matter? We just don't go if we say we don't.
The yacht was traveling around the island, Sandro had returned to the yacht, and Patricia, Raimundo and a sailor carefully looked at the shore and the rocky slope from the side of the ship, hoping to see Anna's trail. The rocks and rocks are extremely steep, and small caves are hidden in the middle, where people can hide.
Patricia: Maybe she's uncomfortable... Maybe her leg cramps, or something is wrong...
Sandlow: Anna's water is very good, even if her leg cramps, she can still think about going ashore.
Patricia: But you have to consider all possibilities, Sandro.
Sandro thought she was talking nonsense. He was very angry, leaving her to the stern, and seeing Corrado saying hello from a remote corner of the beach.
Corrado: (Crying loudly) There are some footprints here...
But he paused just halfway through his words, Yang Yang Yang Yang said that the discovery was worthless. He began to crawl back along the same path. The yacht continued to sail.
Sandlow: (calls excitedly from the stern) Patricia!
Patricia and Raymondo both ran to the stern and looked in the direction of Sandro's fingers, only to see a dark and unclear object floating on the water.
Raimondo: (to the sailor) Mario... drove the boat over there.
The yacht drove toward the dark thing in the water, and when it got closer, it was only driftwood. Due to a turn, the yacht deviated slightly from Lisca Bianca and approached the islet of Lozzo in Brazil.
Sailor: Shall we return?
Sandro: No, now that I'm here, take a look around Basilorzo Island. (Explain to Patricia) When we were swimming, she was swimming in this direction.
Sailor: It's not easy to find a place to go ashore from here!
Twilight quietly descended on Liska Bianca Island. The sky became more gloomy, lightning pierced the clouds, and the sound of thunder was heard in the distance. The group of people reunited on the beach, and the approach of the storm added to their panic. They were cold, tired, and exhausted, but they were deeply shocked by Anna's mysterious disappearance.
Sandro: Let’s be practical. The best way is for all of you to get on the boat and drive to the nearby islands where there is a police station or some agency and report someone missing. I stay here... because... Well, I don't know, because I always think I will find something. I don't want to leave here anyway.
Corrado: Let's start then... It's meaningless to waste time...
Patricia: (to the sailor) How long does it take to go back and forth?
Sailor: If there is a police station in Panari, it will take about two hours. If you go to Lipari, the time will be much longer. It also depends on the size of the wind and waves on the sea.
Julia walked to the yacht, but stopped to look for Corrado again, and he noticed her gaze.
Corrado: I also stay on the island.
Julia: (surprised) Why? ...What if it rains?
Corrado: I'll buy an umbrella if it rains.
Claudia stayed nearby, thinking blankly, with no intention of leaving. Sandro and Corrado looked at her in surprise.
Corrado: (Speaking to Claudia with understanding) Claudia, I know how you feel, but there are already two of us here...
Sandro: Although I don't want to offend people, I want to clarify further that if she is here, it will be more of a hindrance.
Keshidia turned a decisively on Sandro's words and walked towards the hinterland of the island. At this time, Patricia and Julia have boarded the yacht.
Julia: (calling to Corrado from the boat) Would you like a blanket? ...Would you like something to eat?
Corrado made an impatient gesture of no, and then climbed up towards the stone house with Sandro. When Corrado and Sandro caught up with Claudia halfway, they had already started to rain, and the storm was about to come.
The three of them came to the house, Corrado tried the doorknob, but it couldn't open it. Sandlow came to help, and the two put their shoulders against the door panel, and finally knocked the door open.
The room was dark, and Sandlow struck a match to find a kerosene lamp on the table. He lit the lamp, and the light illuminated the room, illuminating the rudimentary furnishings in the room. A few tattered chairs, a few empty wooden boxes, a shovel and a few other utensils, and a pile of straw piled in one corner of the house, seemed to be used as beds.
Claudia: According to my instinct, I think she is alive... even this morning... it was the shark... there was nothing like that at all.
Sandlow: Why are you telling us now?
Claudia: I... I don't know... I don't think it's worth mentioning... She thought it was very funny...
Corrado: Really! But I don't understand why she made up her mind that there are sharks. What is her purpose?
Claudia: (referring to Sandro) Maybe it's more appropriate to ask him.
Corrado: (to Sandlow) What have you been arguing with Anna? ...Please forgive me for being so rude, but this is not a joke...
Sandro: It's not just those old questions... If I'm not bad, she only said one thing, that she needs to stay alone for a while.
Claudia: How do you explain this?
Sandlow ignored the problem and began to pace around the house. Only the sound of increasingly dense rain broke the silence inside. Suddenly there was the sound of footsteps. Sandro, Claudia and Corrado quickly turned their faces towards the door, the expressions on their faces showed that they thought it must be Anna. The door opened, and an old man came in with a sack in his hand.
Sandlow: Are you the master here?
Old man: No, the owner is in Australia.
Sandlow: Where do you come from?
Old man: Panaria. What's going on?
Corrado: Ah, that's you... I heard that there is a boat leaving here at two o'clock today...
Old man: (scratching his head) It's four or five o'clock...
Corrado: Did you mean afternoon?
Old man: No... in the morning, what's the matter? What's the matter?
Sandlow: Nothing, nothing.
Claudia: Why don't you tell him? (Said to the old man) A young lady with us has disappeared.
Old man: What did you say... missing? Did she fall into the water?
Claudia: No, she didn't fall into the water... She just disappeared, and no one knows where she went.
Sandlow: I think this is to blame... why don't you even tell him this. You think so, don't you?
Claudia: You are busy thinking about what I think, you might as well think more about what Anna thinks.
Old man: Have you searched the back of this house to see if she will fall under the cliff? I had a sheep that fell off last month. I searched everywhere for a day, but didn't hear it bleating until late at night. It stayed there all day, almost dying.
Claudia suddenly jumped up and ran out of the hut, broke into the dark night, shouting desperately.
Claudia: Anna! ...Anna! ...
But her voice was drowned out by the storm. The heavy rain poured through her clothes and the shoes were filled with muddy water, and she stopped. Corrado followed her, took her by the arm and led her back into the house.
Corrado: Come back, Claudia... come back to the house.
At dawn, in the hut, there was only a faint flickering flame from the kerosene lamp. Claudia woke up blankly, wondering where this was and how she got here. She saw Corrado snoozing on an empty wooden box in the corner of the room, and then found that Sandro and the old man were no longer in the room, so she got up and went out.
The misty morning mist outside has just begun to dissipate. Sandlow stood a few steps away from the cabin, heard Claudia's footsteps, and turned to meet her.
Sandlow: Do you feel better?
Claudia: (Nodding) I'm sorry about what happened last night, please forgive me.
Sandlow: You really like Anna, don't you?
Claudia: Yes, I like her very much.
Sandlow: Did she talk to you about me?
Claudia: Speaking of it occasionally, always with infinite affection each time.
Sandro: But it seems that everyone's love for her, including mine, yours, and even her father's love to some extent, is not enough for her, or of little value.
Claudia: I understand that. I have been asking myself how I can prevent this from happening in advance.
There was silence. Suddenly both of them heard the sound of motors getting closer and closer. They looked towards the coast, but the thick morning fog prevented them from discerning where the sound came from. Then they saw the old man coming from the small road. Sandlow rushed forward and grabbed his neckline.
Sandlow: Whose ship is this?
Old man: (surprisingly) What boat?
Sandlow: Just now... Didn't you hear the sound of the motor?
Old man: There are many miles of ships going back and forth at this time of the year...
Sandlow: Why do you get up so early?
Old man: Early? Do you think it is early at four in the morning?
The old man's composure made Sandro discouraged and had no choice but to stop questioning. He turned around and looked up and saw Claudia slowly walking towards the top of the cliff, walking towards the place where the old man said last night that Anna might fall. She leaned forward to look down from the edge of the cliff, and then quickly drew back, as if she was afraid of being drawn into the whirlpool below. She turned around and walked towards the hinterland of the island, and found that there was rainwater that had accumulated last night in the recesses of the rocks, so she took some water from a recess and wiped her face. She straightened up, and Sandro stood facing her, and Claudia was taken aback. They were relatively silent. Claudia turned abruptly and walked towards the heights. After a while, Sandro and her reunited, and the two of them stared into each other's eyes again, feeling embarrassed about their performance, but couldn't help it.
The sound of a police siren from a patrol boat was like a whining whine from the air. Sandro and Claudia woke up like a dream at this time, getting rid of their sudden, unstoppable attraction to each other. Through the fog, they saw a boat approaching the shore, and then they realized that their friends had returned with the police, so they hurried down the hillside to meet them.
Patricia, Julia, and Raymondo went ashore, followed by the director of the security police team and two policemen. Sandro and Claudia rushed to meet them, but Claudia stopped abruptly, deliberately falling behind, so as not to reach the beach at the same time as Sandro.
At this time, Corrado had reached the shore first. When he walked over, Patricia, Julia, and Ramondo looked at him anxiously, as if waiting for him to bring good news. But Corrado had no comment, and could only make a gesture of despair.
Julia: How did you spend the night? ...Is it in that hut? ...What do you eat?
Corrado: What do you think?
Julia: We are too unlucky. First, we went to Panaria, where there was not even a boat... we went to Lipari again, and everyone was asleep... and we went to Rome for a long distance...
Patricia: We need to inform her father.
Corrado: Yes, it should be.
Patricia: He will be here today. (She said to Sandro who came here at this time) I also called my house in Milan...Ettore was no longer at home.
Chief of Police: (asking Sandlow) Are there any new developments?
Sandro: It's a pity, no progress.
Chief of Police: Let’s do that. In the first step, I will send someone to explore the sea around the island. I will bring two divers... Besides, let’s take advantage of this time to go around the island.
Sandro: Director, look at these big cracks, you need ropes and ladders to deal with...
Chief of Police: Don't worry, we have brought everything.
Sandro: One more thing, an old man lives on this island...
Police chief: (interrupting him) I know, I know. Come the same way.
The chief of police climbed up towards the hinterland of the island. Sandlow followed him. Claudia saw them walking towards her, and walked to another place in the lower part to avoid encountering Sandger. She looked down from the edge of the cliff and saw the two divers below diving into the bottom like two big fish.
Sandro and the police chief also came to the edge of this cliff, and two people put a rope ladder into the depths of the crack. Sandro wanted to take a closer look, and climbed up a few steps, only to find Claudia standing nearby alone, and walked towards her. She avoided touching his gaze, but Sandro stared at her intently and continued to walk towards her. At this moment, he saw Patricia and Raymondo approaching, and he stopped abruptly. He accidentally stepped on a small pebble on the ground, and the pebble rolled along the path, and rolled straight to Claudia's feet, as if to send a message. She picked it up, looked at it, and threw it away. Sandro turned and walked towards the edge of the cliff.
Patricia and Raymondo came to Claudia, and Raymondo had a box of biscuits in his hand for Claudia and Patricia to eat.
Patricia: No, who wants cookies... Why don't you get us some coffee?
At this time, Sandro walked to the edge of the cliff, where Julia and Corrado were also there. They watched a policeman with a long rope tied to his waist go down to the bottom of the cliff, groping among the crevices, to see if anyone would fall into the crevice from the cliff. The police chief also leaned forward and looked down.
Police: (calling to the director) There is nothing here!
The director turned back and looked at Corrado in disappointment. Corrado was tired of all this.
Corrado: Don't look at me like that, Director... It's none of my business.
Patricia: (pointing to the diver below) I hope they don't find her. ...If you find her, she will be over.
Claudia cried suddenly. Patricia didn't say a word and made Claudia cry enough, which would be good for her. Sandro came over, and Claudia stopped crying as soon as he saw him, avoiding eye contact with him.
Sandro: Listen to me, Patricia... The chief of police said that there is an undercurrent that flows through here until you reach another island... I can't say which island it is... He wants to send a subordinate to see... ...No one can say...If I ask Raimundo to go with him, do you care?
Patricia: What can I care about?
Claudia: (To Sandro) I think it's best to go and see for yourself.
Sandlow: Yes, maybe this is better.
He turned and walked towards the beach.
Patricia: (Combined to Claudius) I think Sandro is strange, he seems so calm.
Claudia: (stands up) Calm? ...I can't tell...He didn't sleep last night.
A diver got out of the water with an ancient bottle in his hand. The bottle was obviously salvaged from the depths. Raimundo was walking up with a kettle of coffee at this moment. He put down the thermos and walked to the diver, and took the ancient bottle.
Raimondo: (to the diver) What is this?
Divers: It's an ancient bottle. There is an ancient city that is submerged under water. There are some of these things.
Raymondo took the ancient bottle and showed it to Patricia and Claudia. This is a very delicate and beautiful terracotta double-eared wine bottle with a rounded pattern around it. Patricia and Claudia both came over to have a look. Corrado leaned in too, and Julia followed him closely.
Patricia: (sarcastically) Come on, Corrado, tell us what century this is.
Corrado smiled and came closer to take a closer look. Claudia also knelt down and looked at it. After a while, she felt that someone came to her, and she didn't need to look back to feel that Sandro deliberately used this discovery to find a chance to return to the group of people, with the purpose of getting closer to Claudia. Both of them felt a warm current connecting them, and in a moment they felt the kind of surprise they had already felt in the early morning.
Julia: Corrado, let them give it to us!
Corrado: Really! So that you can insert geranium flowers in it!
Patricia: (to Sandlow) Didn’t you go with them?
Claudia was flustered and quickly left Sandro, Sandro said embarrassedly.
Sandlow: Yes... I will go with someone... I will go now...
A patrol boat dropped under the rocky cliff of the small island where the undercurrent converged. Sandro was standing under the wall of a ruined house on a large rock with various floating objects on the sea near it. The residents of four or five islands are busy looking for useful things in the trash. They are ragged and taciturn, and fight each other from time to time to compete for floating objects from the impact of the waves. Sandlow looked at them and couldn't help feeling dazed and depressed. The police accompanying him strolled by with an old gentleman who appeared to be a local gentry.
Sandlow: (to the police) It's been two hours...what shall we do?
Police: It takes twenty to twenty-two hours for the current to flow from Liska Bianca to her
