Endless Rebirth

During dinner, Kawashima felt a little gloomy, even though what he ate tonight was seabirds, bird egg soup, and banana porridge.Thinking of Li Shixun's performance, her appetite was greatly reduced. Why was it so unfair for God to give that idiot a smart head and such a talent?

Once, I only explained the essentials of archery once and gave a demonstration.This guy actually only wasted one arrow at the beginning, but he hit the target every other time. It was really shocking.

She thought of her past performance when learning archery, and suddenly felt shy.She comes from a famous family, but she has been hailed as the favored daughter of heaven since she was born. However, in front of Li Shixun, the so-called favored daughter of heaven is ashamed.

"Let's eat!" Li Shixun said calmly and put all the food on the table.

The table is not made of pure bamboo. Except for the three bamboo legs, the tabletop is a round wooden board that Li Shixun spent a lot of time carving.The table legs are fixed into the soil, so it is very stable, even if people sit on it, it will be fine.

There are two pairs of bamboo chopsticks on the table. Next to the chopsticks is a bamboo bowl with fragrant banana porridge.They were lucky enough to find half an acre of wild rice in the valley. Li Shixun cut the bananas into pieces and mixed them with wild rice to make porridge.

It is not easy to thresh grain into rice on a desert island. Without suitable tools, Li Shixun almost tried his best.Fortunately, the results are gratifying enough, just like the banana porridge on the table in front of you. The rich rice fragrance is mixed with the sweetness of bananas, plus the unique fragrance of the bamboo bowl itself. The three fragrances are mixed together to create a unique taste.Appetizing.

There were two or three plates in the center with freshly grilled birds.The meat quality of birds flying over the sea is very different from that of birds on land, and the meat is more delicate.After grilling, it becomes chewier and you don't feel any strange smell after entering the mouth. It is very refreshing.

There were also crabs, which the two of them picked up one by one near the island beach.The green bamboo basket was filled to the brim and was no bigger than a hairy crab.But the taste is still better.Finally, there was a large bowl of bird egg soup. Li Shixun touched the bird eggs from a tree in the afternoon. They are many times more delicious than domestic eggs. The egg soup is full of flavor and does not require any special ingredients.

The dishes were all prepared and Li Shixun greeted them.He sat down first.

"I don't want to eat it!" Kawashima didn't move.

With a look on his face, Li Shixun didn't look at her and said, "If you don't want to eat, then don't eat. I'm tired this afternoon and I'm already hungry. I ate them all!"

After saying that, he unceremoniously brought the banana porridge in front of him and moved the dish in front of him.That posture seemed to be really preparing for a big fight.

"You... hum!" Kawashima was made short of breath by him, and his chest kept rising and falling, "Eat, eat, eat, you know how to eat, I'll squeeze you to death!"

After speaking, she ran out without looking back.

Li Shixun just took a few sips into his mouth and stopped immediately. He shook his head with a wry smile and hurriedly chased after him.The temper of this eldest lady.He had learned the lesson, he had suffered a lot these days, and he knew in his heart that if he didn't coax her well today, he would never sleep at night.

It was already pitch black outside, but fortunately the bright moon was hanging high tonight, and the white moonlight shone on the calm sea, mixing with the blue luster of the sea water, emitting a trace of misty brilliance, giving the whole world a fantasy mood.

When Li Shixun chased her out, he saw her sitting on the edge of the beach with her legs folded and her head lowered.It seems that she also felt a touch of sadness. On this calm night, the waves quietly climbed up from the sea and stretched out their hands to soothe her heart. When they were about to touch her, they returned with unwillingness and loneliness. To the sea.One after another, they emit a mournful cry.

He walked over slowly, and heard a faint choking sound in his ears, which made him pause slightly, and then sat down next to her as if nothing had happened.No one spoke. Li Shixun quietly put his hands back and looked up at the sky with extremely distant eyes.

There was the sound of waves crashing in my ears, the breeze passing through the woods, seagulls singing, and insects chirping, but these sounds seemed to be placed very far away and did not disturb the two of them at all, as if they were deliberately avoiding them. , deliberately leaving a peaceful world for them.

At this moment, silence seems to be the most appropriate, but Li Shixun broke everything with his deep voice.

"Are you homesick?" The voice was so soft that it could be blown away by the wind.

But she heard it, and her slightly swaying shoulders slowly stopped, and an inaudible voice came out of her mouth, as calm as him.

"Ok!"

With a silent sigh, Li Shixun didn't speak.Homesickness seems to be a good reason not to want to eat. Living on an isolated island, far away from people and society, and with weak psychological endurance, it has long been unbearable.In this case, who doesn’t want to go home?

However, he doesn't seem happy with it.

Li Shixun didn't show this, but the keen Kawashima sensed it almost as soon as he finished speaking.She felt a little aggrieved. This kind of homesickness would never appear on her body, but who could blame Li Shixun for performing too well?She couldn't help but recall the time when she was learning archery. At that time, there were a lot of people around her.

He has a strict but loving father, a virtuous and loving mother, a naughty younger brother, and an expressionless, rigorous archery teacher.This made the strong woman return to the past in an instant. How joyful and happy that time was that only existed in her memory!

pity……

There's no coming back from all this!

He reminded himself of all this!

This man seems to have a magical power that makes him weak.Are the black cherry blossoms not just withering and destruction?So, are flowers just weak flowers after all?

"Want to hear my story?" Li Shixun's voice interrupted her thoughts.

"Are you willing to say it?" Kawashima turned his head and looked at him coquettishly.

For so many days, the two of them certainly didn't get along silently, but the topics of conversation were very few.Every time Kawashima wanted to find something to talk about, he would always deliberately avoid it, as if he was afraid of exposing some big secret about his past.

Li Shixun did not answer immediately, but after a moment of silence, he said: "I was born in a large province in the south of ****. The place where my ancestors lived was a rural area surrounded by mountains on three sides. There..."

He used his own unique voice to tell stories about his life over the past 19 years.Kawashima quickly became immersed in his story, following his words and feeling the ups and downs, joys, sorrows and joys of his life.

Li Shixun did not add any exaggeration or lie. He told all the big and small things he had experienced since he was born without reservation, except for those that could not be said.

Although they were all trivial matters in the countryside and interesting childhood stories, Kawashima listened very seriously and couldn't help but ask questions when he didn't understand something. He didn't feel childish at all. As time went by, the pictures of life gradually , slowly carved into her mind.

Even though it was just an ordinary trivial matter, not only did she not feel bored or despised, but she felt envious after listening to it.

After Li Shixun found out, he couldn't help but ask: "Why? Why do you envy my past life? It was just a very ordinary life that thousands of **** people have experienced!"

"Maybe it's because of this ordinaryness!" Kawashima sighed and said: "You know? I really envy you for being carefree and free when you were a child. This is what I am now, None of them have."

"I live in a big family. This family is very famous in the island country. From the day I was born, it seemed that I was destined to be a member of the family..."

She also talked about her past, and inadvertently told Li Shixun her identity in the island country and her real name.Of course she would not be called Kawashima Katsuo. As the eldest lady of the Kawashima family, such a name would make people laugh.

Her real name is Kawashima Miki, a name that few people know.The name Shengnan was given to her after she joined the army. As the name suggests, she wanted her family to see that although she was a girl, she was no worse than a boy.

At this time, she undoubtedly proved this.

Perhaps due to family upbringing, she lacked family affection and care when she was a teenager, and developed a rebellious character.She was so strong that when she heard that her father was betrothed to a member of the Mitsui family, she immediately exploded. It was not her style to cry and cry, so she resolutely joined the army secretly, wanting to prove to her father, and to let the old guys in the family, Be impressed with yourself.

What he paid for was a body full of scars and irreparable youth.

As she told her story, Li Shixun also understood why she envied him.Being born rich seems to be something that ordinary people desire, but for her, it means restraint.Time and life do not belong to you for a long time.

Ever since she was able to walk, her schedule has been very tight. She has to follow her tutor every day and learn all the knowledge she will need in the future.It was better when I was a child. After all, I had to lay the foundation and had some time to play around.But after she turned ten, her whole life became gloomy.

Piano, violin, dance, these are things that must be learned every day.Politics, economics, and foreign languages ​​are something you can never finish learning.Judo, karate, and kendo are all practiced every day.Others include calligraphy, flower arrangement, painting, archery...

She was like a puppet in the hands of adults, letting them arrange it, and eventually buried herself in the boundless ocean of knowledge.That kind of feeling is depressing, dull, and dark. The so-called freedom may only appear in dreams and fantasies.

For a long time neither of them spoke.Just quietly reminisce about each other's lives and experience each other's feelings in the stories.Talking is indeed the most correct way of communication. Just like the two of them, they feel that their hearts are much closer to each other.

Not just in the heart, as time passed, the two quietly held hands amidst the noise.Then the moonlight was shy, colorful clouds gathered, the light was hazy, and there seemed to be a weeping voice in the heaven and earth, penetrating the sound of the waves crashing.

The night was cool, but now it is as warm as fire! (To be continued.)
