Chapter 291 Warm Night
During dinner, Kawashima was a little depressed, even though she ate Kaohaibird, bird egg soup, and banana porridge tonight. Thinking of Li Shixun's performance, her appetite was greatly reduced. Why did God be so unfair? He gave the dead wood a smart head and gave him such talent.
Once, I only explained the key points of archery and demonstrated once. This guy wasted an arrow at the beginning, and he could hit the target every time. It was really a shocking person.
She remembered her performance when she was learning archery in the past, and she suddenly felt a sense of shame. She came from a famous family, but since her origin, she has been praised as the pride of heaven, but in front of Li Shixun, the so-called pride of heaven must be ashamed of herself.
"Let's have a meal!" Li Shixun said lightly, bringing all the food to the table.
The table is not made of pure bamboo. In addition to the three bamboo legs, the tabletop is a round wooden board carved by Li Shixun for a while. The legs of the table are placed in the soil to fix them, so it is very stable, even if people sit on it, it is okay.
There were two pairs of bamboo chopsticks on the table, next to the chopsticks was a bamboo bowl, and the bowl was fragrant banana porridge. They had good luck in the valley and found half an acre of wild rice. Li Shixun cut the bananas into pieces and mixed wild rice to make porridge.
It is not easy to thresh into rice on a deserted island. Without the right tools, Li Shixun almost tried his best. Fortunately, the results are enough to make people feel relieved, just like the banana porridge on the table in front of him. The rich rice fragrance mixed with the sweetness of bananas. The unique fragrance of the bamboo bowl itself is combined with the three fragrances, and the unique taste makes people enjoy the appetite.
There are two or three plates in the center, and there are freshly grilled bird meat on the plate. The birds soaring on the sea and the birds on the ground have a very different meat quality. The meat is more delicate and chewy after the barbecue. Especially after the mouth is not felt at all, it is very refreshing.
There are also crabs, which are near the beach of the island. The two of them picked up one by one. A basket filled with green bamboo baskets, which was not as big as a hairy crab, but the taste was even better. Finally, there was a large bowl of bird egg soup. The bird eggs were touched by Li Shixun on the tree in the afternoon. They were many times more delicious than domestic eggs. The egg soup was full of fresh flavor and there was no need to put any special ingredients.`
The dishes were ready, and Li Shixun greeted him and sat down first.
"I don't want to eat anymore!" Kawashima didn't move.
Li Shixun didn't look at her and said, "If you don't want to eat, don't eat it. It happened to be tired in the afternoon and I'm hungry. I've eaten it all!"
After saying that, he brought the banana porridge in front without hesitation, and moved the vegetables in front of him. His posture seemed to be really ready to do a big fight.
"You...hum!" Kawashima was so angry that he was making him angry, and his chest kept undulating, "Eat, you will know how to eat. Just eat and eat to death!"
After saying that, she ran out without looking back.
Li Shixun just pulled her mouth a few times, but stopped, shook her head with a wry smile and hurriedly chased her out. He had learned about the temper of this young lady and suffered a lot these days. He knew in his heart that if he hadn't coaxed her well today, he wouldn't have thought of sleeping this night.
It was already pitch black outside, but fortunately the moon was hanging high tonight. The white moonlight sprinkled on the calm sea surface, mixing the blue luster of the sea water, emitting a trace of misty brilliance, giving the whole world a fantasy artistic conception.
When Li Shixun chased her out, she was sitting on the edge of the beach with her legs in her arms and lowered her head. She seemed to feel a faint sadness. The waves quietly got up from the sea on this peaceful night, stretching out her hand to comfort her heart. When she was about to touch her, she returned to the sea with unwillingness. She fell together and scattered with sadness.
He walked slowly over, and a choked sound was heard in his ears, which made him pause slightly, and then sat down next to her as if nothing had happened. No one said anything. Li Shixun quietly supported his hands behind him, looked up at the sky, his eyes extremely distant.
There was the sound of waves swaying, the sound of breeze passing through the woods, the sound of seagulls singing and insects singing, but these sounds seemed to be placed in extremely far places, and they could not disturb the two of them at all. It seemed that they were deliberately avoiding and deliberately leaving them a peaceful world.`
At this moment, it seems that only quiet is the most suitable, but Li Shixun made a low voice, breaking all this.
"Are you missing home?" The voice was so light that the wind could blow away.
But she heard it, her slightly shaking shoulders slowly stopped, and an inaudible sound came out of her mouth, as faint as he was.
"Um!"
After sighing silently, Li Shixun didn't speak. Missing home seems to be a good reason to not want to eat. He is wandering in an isolated island, away from the crowd and society, and has weaknesses in psychological endurance. In this case, who doesn't miss home?
However, he seemed not satisfied with it.
Li Shixun did not show this, but the keen Kawashima almost felt it after he finished speaking. She felt a little wronged. The delicate behavior of homesickness would not have appeared on her, but who blamed Li Shixun for performing so well? She couldn't help but recall when she was learning to shoot archery, when there were a lot of people around her.
There is a strict but loving father, a virtuous mother who loves her, a naughty brother, and a rigorous teacher of bow and arrow. This makes the strong woman go back to the past in an instant, and the time that only exists in her memory is so happy and happy!
pity……
All of this can't be returned!
All of this was what he reminded him of!
This man seems to have a magical power to make himself weak. Isn’t the black cherry blossom just withering and destruction? So, flowers are weak flowers after all?
"Do you want to hear my story?" Li Shixun's voice interrupted her thoughts.
"Are you willing to say that?" Kawashima turned his head and looked at him with some coquettishness.
For so many days, the two of them will certainly not be together silently, but there are very few topics. Every time Kawashima wants to find a topic of conversation, he will always deliberately avoid it, as if he is afraid of revealing his past and having any huge secrets.
Li Shixun did not answer immediately, but was silent for a moment before saying: "I was born in a major province in the south. The place where my ancestors lived was a rural area surrounded by mountains on all sides, where..."
He used his unique voice to tell stories, telling his 19-year life. Kawashima quickly immersed in his story, and felt the ups and downs of his life, joy, anger, sorrow, and joy, with his language.
Li Shixun did not add fuel to the fire or lie. He had said all the big and small things he had experienced since he was born, except for what he could not say.
Although it was all rural trivial matters and childhood fun things, Kawashima listened very seriously and couldn't help asking questions about the things he didn't understand, not feeling naive at all. As time passed, those pictures of life were slowly engraved into her mind.
Although it was just a very ordinary trivial matter, she not only did not get tired of or despise her feelings, but instead felt envious after listening.
After Li Shixun found out, he couldn't help asking: "Why? Why do you envy my past life? It's just a very ordinary life that millions of people have experienced!"
"Maybe, it's because of this ordinary thing!" Kawashima sighed and said, "Do you know? I really envy you for being carefree and free when you were a child. This is something I have never had now."
"I live in a big family, which is very famous in the island country. From the day I was born, it seems that I am destined to be a family..."
She also talked about her past and inadvertently told Li Shixun about her identity in the island country and her real name. Of course, she would not call her Katsuo Kawashima. As the eldest lady of the Kawashima family, if she had such a name, it would make people laugh.
Her real name is Miki Kawashima, and few people know this name. The name Kawashino was chosen by her after she joined the army. As the name suggests, she wanted her family to see that although she is a daughter, she is not worse than a man.
At this time, she undoubtedly proved this.
Perhaps it was the family-style training that made her lack of family affection and care in her youth and developed a rebellious personality. She was so strong that she immediately exploded after hearing that she was betrothed by her father to the Mitsui family. Crying was not her style, so she resolutely joined the army secretly, trying to prove it to her father, and wanting the old guys in the family to look at her with admiration.
What you give is scars and youth that cannot be saved.
As she told, Li Shixun also understood the reason why she envied herself. Being born rich seems to be something that ordinary people long for, but for her, it means bondage. Time and life have not belonged to her for a long time.
Since she could walk, she had to arrange her time very tightly. She had to follow her tutors every day to learn all the knowledge she needed to use in the future. It was better when she was a child, but after all, she had to lay the foundation and had some time to play. But after she was ten years old, her whole life became dark.
Piano, violin, dance, this is something you must learn every day. Politics, economy, foreign languages, this is something you can never learn. Judo, karate, and kendo are practiced every day. Others include calligraphy, flower arrangement, painting, and archery...
She was like a puppet in the hands of an adult, letting them arrange it, and finally buried herself in the endless ocean of knowledge. That feeling, depression, dullness, darkness, and the so-called freedom may only appear in dreams and in fantasy.
For a long time, neither of them was talking. They just quietly savored each other's lives and experienced each other's feelings in the story. Conversation is indeed the most correct way of communication. Just like the two of them, they feel that their hearts are much closer.
And not just the heart, as time passed, the two of them quietly held hands in the noise. Then the moonlight was shy, the colorful clouds gathered, the light was hazy, and there seemed to be a sound of crying and complaining in the world, penetrating the sound of the waves striking.
The night is cool, and it is warm as fire at this moment! (To be continued.)
