From the Island Owner to the King

The town of Laayoune is where the love story of Sanmao and Jose begins.

It can be said that the period when Sanmao lived in the small town of Laayoune was a peak period of her life and creation.

Those who like the love story of Sanmao and Jose, and Sanmao's poems are no strangers to the town of Laayoune.

Chen Rui came to the small town of Layoune and found an inn called nearby.

The inn is somewhat old, with a dimly yellow facade and a slightly outdated plaque. It is located next to a fake KFC.

Chen Rui walked up the stairs.

The interior of the inn is relatively neat and clean.

The front desk is a beautiful Moroccan girl, wrapped in a pure white turban, with a pair of clear eyes.

Chen Rui talked with the Moroccan girl.

Learn that the beautiful girl's name is Emma.

Emma is patient and gentle and speaks good English.

Chen Rui settled down at the inn.

Chen Rui entered the Pregnant Sea Pearl space to take a bath, and lay down on the comfortable bed for a good night's sleep.

In the morning, Chen Rui got up early in the morning.

I just feel refreshed and refreshed, and the tiredness of the past few days has been swept away.

Chen Rui put on his clothes and went out. He planned to follow Sanmao's footsteps and take a good look at the town of Laayoune.

Walking on the streets of Laayoune Town, Chen Rui felt that he was not in the Sahara Desert, but a bustling town.

At that time, there was only a bare street of Laayoun under the shabby pen. It has completely changed now.

Chen Rui found a small roadside restaurant and sat down.

Soon a plate of steaming roasted chicken rice was served.

After eating.

Chen Rui began to go shopping in a planned way.

There are two places that cannot be missed.

The local Spanish church is where Sanmao and Jose got married.

Laayoune bay by the sea.

In "Story of the Sahara", there is a chapter called "Bathing in the Desert", "The blue sea flows calmly into a semi-circular bay, and countless white tents are set up on the beach in the bay, and men, women and children are walking. He walked, looking very comfortable and peaceful. ’

It depicts the bay of Laayoune, the beach where the Saharawi women take a peek under a sanmao pen.

morning. Chen Rui went to the Spanish Church in the town of Laayoune, and went to the former residence of Sanmao. No. 44 Catalunya Street, the houses and people in the town are the same as in Sanmaoshu. Even the location of the electricity meter and house number has not changed in their home, but the paint on the doors and windows has faded. The once "the most beautiful home in Sahara" has been empty, and the roof of the building is still there. The classic clips of Sanmao Jose's "Flying Sheep Falling into the Well" and "Rooftop Stealing Water" can no longer be found.

In the afternoon, Chen Rui went to the National Hotel, where Sanmao and Hexi used to sell fish and attended dinner parties of the upper class.

Chen Rui left the National Hotel and set off for Laayoune Beach.

Laayoune Beach is a very beautiful beach with many tourists.

Chen Rui came to Laayoune Beach.

A huge sandy beach floated over like a dream. The arcs of the rolling sand dunes are fascinated by nightmares.

Approaching this Laayoune beach is like walking into a long memory, looking for the white tents of the Saharawi people scattered in the memory.

"Sir." At this time, a young girl gave Chen Rui a charming smile. Called Chen Rui.

The girl had bright eyes and white teeth, and her smile was very kind and cute, and two small dimples appeared at the corners of her mouth.

Wearing a sleeveless floral dress, she stepped on the clean sand with her bare feet.

"Hello, is there anything I can help you with?" Chen Rui smiled. said.

"You can take a photo for me." The girl said to Chen Rui.

"Yes." Chen Rui nodded.

The girl handed the camera in her hand to Chen Rui.

Chen Rui took the camera and aimed at the girl on the beach.

in the lens. The bright sunshine, clean beach, clear sea water, fresh small flowers and beautiful girls are just like the picturesque scenery, pleasing to the eye, and the moment when the skirt is flying, it instantly attracted Chen Rui's attention.

Chen Rui pressed the shutter and took this beautiful photo.

"Thank you." The girl took the camera and thanked Chen Rui, "My name is Xizi, and I haven't asked for the name of Mr.

"My name is Chen Rui." Chen Rui said.

"Adventurer, Chen Rui." Kiko said with some surprise.

"Yes." Chen Rui nodded.

"I know you. I heard your story in Japan and Japan. It's very legendary." Kiko said.

Chen Rui and Xizi walked barefoot on the beach and chatted.

Chen Rui is a good talker, very humorous and funny.

From time to time there was a silver bell-like laughter from the beach.

"I heard that you like to travel and hike. Are you here to travel in Layoune this time?" Xizi said to Chen Rui.

"Yes, I like Sanmao very much, her poems have brought me a lot of good memories.

The town of Layoune is the place where Sanmao lived for a while. She created "Story of the Sahara" here. This is where her love with Jose began.

I follow Sanmao's footsteps here, the former residence of Sanmao, the national hotel, the abandoned courthouse, the Laayoune beach, etc. Every place reminds me of a certain fragment of Sanmao's brush. "Chen Rui said with a smile.

"If there is an afterlife, be a tree, stand in a posture of eternity, no joys or sorrows. Half in the earth peacefully, half in the wind, half in the shade, half in the sun, very silent and very proud, never relying on Don't look for it." Kiko recited a poem.

"Sanmao's "Tell Yourself"," Chen Rui said.

"Yes, this song is very beautiful and full of life philosophy. I like this song very much." Kiko said.

The two were walking on the beach, chatting about Sanmao's poetry and travel. They had common interests and topics, and they chatted so much that they forgot the time.

When the sun sets in the west, the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkles on the sea, sparkling, and two people walk barefoot on the beach, forming a beautiful scenery, poetic and picturesque.

"Chen Rui, what do you think this is?" Xizi said to Chen Rui, pointing to something like a big rock on the beach in front of her.

The two walked over quickly.

The big stone-like thing was about the size of an adult fist, with irregular edges, a little yellowing in the crevices of the gray-white surface, and the surface of the stone seemed to be coated with a layer of wax.

Chen Rui picked it up, took a look and smelled it. The smell was very strange, fishy and stinky.

"This is ambergris." Chen Rui said.

Ambergris, in the West called gray amber. (To be continued)
