Chapter 289, the quiet Sky Island
Li He guessed correctly, Ji Yu did not live in London, but in a small town called Worcester.
Ji Xiao shared a small apartment with the girl named Yeda, who was studying Chinese and preparing to study in China. Li He didn't even know what the British thought of China when he was about 17 years in his previous life, and of course he didn't know what the British thought of China in 01, but he still appreciated Yeda's choice very much, and swore that if Yeda reached his city, he would treat her well.
Li He was very serious about having a good relationship with Ji Xiao's roommate, and in exchange for Yeda going on a date with a sweet smile...... Well, leave room for them to go on a date.
The next thing is very simple, the two of them haven't seen each other for too long, it seems redundant to say anything, Yeda is wise to go out on a date, if she stays next door, she will not sleep well all night.
“…… Call...... Goblin, you've goblined......"
“…… Scold...... After all, I'm a police officer now, and my physical fitness is not the same as in the past, are you going to surrender?"
“…… Jokes, only plough the land, there is no plough that makes it bad, don't shout to stop if you have the ability......"
“…… Come on, who's afraid of whom......"
“…… Come on, goblin, go on......"
“…… Childe, it's time for you to get some sleep, you still have to get jet lag, and we'll go see Shakespeare's house when you're rested. ”
“…… his Shakespeare...... Does he know me well?...... Are you throwing in the towel?"
“…… No, okay I just want to get some sleep......"
“…… Wowhahahaha, in the end, it's ...... Sleep, sleep, I'm so sleepy...... Hahaha......"
The next day, no, to be precise, it was the third day that Li He came to the UK, Ji Xiao's roommate probably returned to the next door last night, but by that time the battle had eased down a lot, and she only laughed when she heard the sound of tossing occasionally. Yeda had to come back because Ji Xiao was going to borrow her car to go out.
The sunshine in the early morning was very good, Ji Yu and Yeda hugged goodbye and then took Li He to set off, out of courtesy, Li He also hugged Yeda, and then he said to Ji Yu in the car, the touch of the foreign girl is really good, the place that should be stiff is upright, and the place that should be warped is warped. Then Yeda saw her car walking with an "S" on the road from a distance, and she was so shocked that she almost called the police.
The British car is left-hand drive, and Li He sat on the left side and watched Ji Xiao drive, no matter how he looked at it, he was not used to it. Ji Xiao probably rarely drives in the UK, so she is not used to driving. Several times I encountered a car at the intersection, and I scared the car on the opposite side enough. Fortunately, Worcester is not far from Shakespeare's hometown of Stratford, and Ji Xiao drives slowly, a little more than an hour away.
Parking near the famous Holy Trinity Church, Ji Xiao took Li He for a stroll around Shakespeare's hometown.
There are woods, lawns, rivers and parks next to the church, and after walking a short distance, Li He found a bench and sat down, and said, "Yes, let's sit here, don't go anywhere, nothing else abroad is necessarily better than at home, it is quiet, and people want to sit down and think about life." ”
Ji Xiao said: "How can it, why do you have to go to the former residence to have a look, to be honest, I am also here for the first time." Shakespeare, you can't get past such a big fame?"
Li He didn't care, took Ji Xiao's hand and asked her to sit down, and put his head on her lap and lay down on the bench with a dead face, saying, "No, I have to have a good rest, in order to conquer you, a little goblin, my bones are exhausted." How about we have a field battle here?"
"Smack!", Ji Xiao unceremoniously patted Li He's head and said, "What do you have in your head?
Li He said confidently: "Lao Sha himself has done a lot of these things, right?
"I'm so angry," Ji Xiao puffed up his face and said, "I can't go on with you." ”
Li He smiled, just pillowed Ji Xiao's long legs and closed his eyes, and the two of them stopped talking. Li He lay quietly like this, feeling the tranquility thousands of miles away.
After a long while, Li He suddenly said, "Ji Xiao, I miss you so much." ”
Ji Xiao's heart was originally a little empty, she has been in the UK for a year, and she misses Li He very much. Before the meeting, his stomach was full of things he wanted to say to Li He, but after they met, they didn't want to say anything. The desire without love is called **, but love without the flesh is also false to the point of doubt, only when the spirit and the flesh are perfectly combined, love, is like a blooming flower.
Almost a whole day and a night of madness, as gorgeous as fire, made Ji Yu forget all his troubles, and at this moment, when Li He simply said that I miss you very much, Ji Yu felt that her heart was full of water, she could only gently caress Li He's face, looked down at him, looked at it, full of tenderness made her just want to turn into air and be sucked into his internal organs by him.
What else to say?
Just bow your head and give a deep long kiss, wet, sweet, only love, no lust kiss.
Whether Shakespeare's former residence was entered or not, in Li He's words, it is good to know that such a great soul once lived in this place, and to know that every grass and tree here has traces left by him. Then I drove from Stratford to Oxford, drove for more than an hour, got to Oxford, parked in the residential area, and walked to the city centre.
Li He and Ji Xiao walked along the road, and gradually saw the name of a certain department of Oxford University erected in front of the small villas, Ji Xiao showed a look of surprise and envy, and said, how can these houses be built like their own small courtyards? Although she has been in England for a year, if Li He hadn't come, she wouldn't have come out properly.
Continue walking, I began to see the park of Oxford University, saw their museums, libraries, and then, ancient and grand buildings appeared one after another, this is a certain college, such and such a college, usually a small door to enter, and then a spacious lawn and a large atrium, surrounded by solid and tall buildings, at this time there is only emotion and all kinds of envy and hatred.
Even when you walk down the street, you often feel like you don't know where you are. For Li He, this feeling is especially strong. In the previous life, this is something that cannot be thought of, right? It's not that there is no money at all, but this kind of situation and state of mind in front of you is absolutely gone.
"Look," Ji Xiao exhaled a long breath and said, "There are a lot of small literary and artistic freshness, there are many young students, and the ancient buildings are full of youthful breath." Bicycles, small flower clusters, from time to time I feel that I am walking in a certain movie, or a literary film. How many stories should such a city have!"
Li He smiled: "You see that others see it as a story, don't you know that when others look at you, they are also watching a moving story." ”
Ji Xiao also smiled, but he smiled a little sadly. Whether it is a prank at the airport, or a war between the two in full swing, it seems that it is just Ji Xiao's occasional escape, and this lingering faint sadness is Ji Xiao's true character.
Ji Xiao booked a house in advance, and stayed in Oxford at night, the real trip is not a sightseeing trip, even if he didn't book a house in advance, Ji Xiao would live here. And Li He doesn't care where he is, even if he comes all the way to the UK, he actually doesn't have any special places he wants to go, for him, as long as Ji Xiao is by his side, it is the same everywhere. Moreover, there is no need to go through all the places in one go, and it is not like you can come once and never come again.
Thinking of last year's trip, Li He and Ji Xiao are the kind of people who have no purpose and are at peace with what they encounter.
Last year, I also picked up penniless mulberry on the road, and the final destination was my grandmother's house in Alder Township, but I don't know what kind of story there will be this year.
In the evening, it was another world war for two people. At the beginning of the war, the fierce confrontation like Mars hitting the earth has entered the stage of stalemate, even if both of them are still young, it is impossible to stay awake all night every day. However, Ji Yu took the initiative a lot, in her own words, since Li He called her a goblin, then she had to do her duty as a goblin, and if she didn't suck Li He dry, she would never let him go. Li He is also happy to see it, after all, if it weren't for Ji Xiao's initiative, Ji Xiao would not have been willing to do a lot of the postures he imagined that were enough to make him die.
They stayed in Oxford for three days, walked every day like students who went to school here, and pretended to go to Keble College for two classes. Li He found that he had been a student since he was reborn, and when he arrived in England thousands of miles away, he was still a student, of course, this is also very good, many people feel that the days are too long when they are students, but Li He has experienced it himself, and he knows that compared to the whole life, the days when he can be a student are only more than ten years, and that's it.
Because of the long delay in Oxford, Stonehenge and Bath, which were promised before, did not go, but rushed all the way to Liverpool, as a pseudo-KOP, although it was pseudo, but to catch up with a Liverpool home game, Li He still had to go and take a look. Drop by to see Liverpool's port city. In Liverpool, it was Ji Xiao who accompanied Li He, and both of them bought red Liverpool's home team uniforms and sat at Anfield Stadium.
At first, Li He just came with the idea that he might as well go and see it, but soon he found out that this was not an ordinary game to watch on a tour. When he saw Michael Owen, the young man chasing the wind in the 98 World Cup, in the lineup of the Red Army, who was still so young, and saw Gerrard, who was also dazzlingly young, Li He once felt that he was confused, really confused.
It's '01, Owen is still the pride of Liverpool, and this year, Raul is also the prince of the Bernabeu. I suddenly feel that it is superfluous to think about the meaning of rebirth, and to be able to face the occurrence and development of history with future memories is the most important harvest of rebirth.
Moreover, although his rebirth is a little late and the foundation is not enough, is there still a lot to do along the thread of football?
After leaving Liverpool, Li He and Ji Xiao took the kind of night bus to Scotland. I went to the Scottish Highlands, saw the various lakes dotted on the hills, and went to see Wallace's memorial, and finally to the Isle of Skye, which will also be the last stop of Li He's trip to the United Kingdom.
Isle of Skye is also a place full of stories, and many movies have been filmed here. This place is to calm down and live for a few days, so Li He is very satisfied with Ji Xiao's arrangement of this place as the last stop, they will stay here for three days, and then send Scotland directly back to London by plane, and Li He will return from London.
When they arrived at Sky Island, Li He and Ji Xiao settled in a small village on the side of the long bridge, all of which were white houses by the water, with clear reflections in the shallow rivers and bays. The bay is long and narrow, and together with the lakes in the interior, there are no fine sandy beaches, but there are long sandy beaches scattered with stones, there are dense grasses at the ends of the stones, and there are empty roads along the coast. In the bay, there are two or three mast boats moored, and in the distance there is a lonely lighthouse on the other side of the bridge. Although it has not reached the farther part of the island that stretches out to sea, it is still a quiet place.
After staying on the island for three nights, Li He and Ji Xiao also fully saw the vagaries of the weather on Sky Island. The night of the first arrival is clear, the day of wandering on the island is sunny, cloudy, and rainy, and the evening drizzle, and the second day is to leave in the early morning, and the light after the rain is slightly clear, and the surroundings seem to be filled with a clear water vapor, but the air is very penetrating, and it is all clear that has been washed by water.
The scenery on the island is mostly desolate and wide-opened, interspersed with strange mountains and rivers. They went and climbed a hill with felled trees and corpses of fallen trees, and it was like the end of the world, and in the middle of the mountain was a moss-covered mountain, a thin layer, a desert common to the mountains of England, and the lake and the sea in the back, and the top of the hill was all stone, black, large and small, and rugged.
After that, I saw a seaside waterfall, a white long practice, falling from the flat ground to the cliff by the sea, not following the instructions of the road signs, crossing the fence to the ruins of a castle by the sea, and seeing a stone island not far away like a giant turtle crawling on the undulating sea, and strange trees scattered with taboo hills and canyons, the ruins of buildings thousands of years ago that were conquered by sheep, and several flat-topped hills.
The nights of Sky Island in summer are very short, but no matter how short the nights are, they can't affect the blooming of the two young bodies in full swing.
In fact, Li He was a little suspicious from the beginning, although they were too far apart, although they hadn't seen each other for a year, Ji Xiao was too active, not only took the initiative, but at night, when the door was closed, and only the two of them were left in the world, she even became a little relaxed. Moreover, they didn't take any measures from beginning to end, at first Ji Xiao said that it was a safe period, but they had been tired of being together for more than ten days, and any safety period had passed, but Ji Xiao didn't seem to care.
There must be a demon when things go wrong, and she must have something to say to him.
And it turns out that Li He really knows Ji Xiao.
On the last night they lived on Sky Island, their war stopped, and Ji Xiao wore a beautiful gauze skirt and a wreath that Li He had woven for her with small roadside flowers, and the two of them held hands and walked on the quiet path in the middle of the night.
As he walked, Ji Xiao let go of the hand holding Li He, stopped, turned to look at Li He, and said quietly: "Li He, let's break up." ”
Compared with a year ago when he learned that he was going to study in the UK and was going to be separated from Li He for two years, he cried sadly in Li He's arms, Ji Xiao at this time was really very calm.
On the other hand, it was this kind of calm that made Li He suddenly seem to sink to the bottom of the sea for thousands of meters, and he almost couldn't get through.
