Chapter 1468: The Flower of Hell
A golden sunshine sprinkled on the white sand beach and the transparent blue sea, different from the rainy Shanghai, Cheng Xiaoyu's eyes are infinitely bright, at the end of his vision there is a white lighthouse painted with red bars, and there is a glowing mountain line, not far from him is the blue lake like a jewel, and the huge stones in the water are clearly visible.
There is not much time left in March, and there are only a few days until April.
It is an island called Rauraola, located in the middle of the South Pacific Ocean, in the northeastern part of Fiji, about a 45-minute flight from Nadi International Airport. It is a unique island with a beautiful coastline on the south side of the island, soft white sand beaches, tall verdant palm trees, and surreal white buildings, romantic and sophisticated.
But from the other side of the island, it's a completely different landscape, ancient and wild. It's like an island with huge monsters hidden in an adventure movie, mysterious and extraordinary, this side is full of solidified volcanic lava, and the steep cliffs are full of sharp and sharp thorns, those black reefs, the red fruit is located in the shape of the lava flowing, listen closely, as if there is an earth-shattering boiling sound in the sound of the waves.
Cheng Xiaoyu sat on a lazy sofa and watched Nagai Hefeng's "Hell Flowers", many people are not familiar with Nagai Hefeng, but this representative of the neon aesthetic school is a writer that Cheng Xiaoyu likes very much in his memory.
"Flowers of Hell" starts from the perspective of the governess's garden, like a searchlight, looking back and forth between birth and accession, justice and evil, and inaction, hovering endlessly. The main characters in the book, the Kurobuchi family, are the spokesmen of desire and freedom, and the owner, Nagayoshi Kurobuchi, due to his greed for wealth in his youth, married the concubine of a wealthy British missionary, and obtained a large fortune after the missionary's death.
However, wealth did not bring respect to Kurobuchi, and the neon society in the early Meiji era was still in the shadow of feudal morality, so he married the concubine of a British missionary, which made him spurned and rejected by the whole society.
Society not only excludes him, but also his children. Kurobuchi's daughter, Tomiko, wakes up from her father's and her own experiences that her father's confession was futile, and that the failure of her marriage has led her to fall into the opposite side of society, turning her secluded Mukaijima Villa into a freewheeling "paradise".
With the development of the story, Yuanzi experiences various encounters and witnesses all kinds of worldly sophistication, so that she finally changes from a simple expectation of social fame to a renunciation of the real society and lives in seclusion.
In fact, the whole article is essentially a history of spiritual reconstruction of the garden, and her final choice also represents the decadent and misanthropic thoughts of the author Nagai Hefeng.
Cheng Xiaoyu hasn't flipped through a paper book for a long time, and sitting under the caress of the sea breeze and reading a book is another intoxicating pleasure, of course, if it is a little more relaxed and interesting, it will be even better.
But since Su Yuxi put it at his bedside, he still has to revisit this book.
I don't know how long it took, when she saw that the newspaper reporters were doing everything possible to slander Fuzi, but Fuzi's sharp eyes could see through the newspaper's tricks, she said freely: "Most of those newspaper people are like hooligans,...... If people in society take what they write as facts, then I don't think so! ”
Cheng Xiaoyu closed the book and closed his eyes, although he has not been on the Internet recently, he also knows that the turbulent waves he and Su Yuxi are facing are ten thousand times more violent than Fuzi.
It made Cheng Xiaoyu feel even more sorry for Xia Shamo and Xu Qinning, who passively accepted all this, and he hadn't been able to give an explanation to the two of them.
The sun gradually slanted and turned into a fragment in the waves, Su Yuxi, who was wearing denim shorts and a wide T-shirt, walked in, and the cotton slippers rubbed against the dark brown camphor wood like a cotton swirling sound in his ears, making Cheng Xiaoyu feel that he could immediately get rid of the gloom of "Flowers of Hell".
Maybe it's not the gloom of "Flowers of Hell", it's the gloom of himself that is deep in the eye of the storm of public opinion. ("Say you love me" Patti Austin, who likes jazz style and recommends the Tamala version, M. The P version is OK, but the timbre of the female voice is not as good as the first two)
Su Yuxi said: "The sun is going down, let's go and finish the work that was not done yesterday." ”
Cheng Xiaoyu nodded and stretched out his hand to Su Yuxi, Su Yuxi pulled Cheng Xiaoyu up from the sofa, went to the door to put on galoshes, and after standing up, Su Yuxi gently smeared anti-mosquito potion on Cheng Xiaoyu's neck, elbows, and wrists.
Then the two of them walked to the right side of the white villa, over the green grass paved with stone slabs, and the automatic shower sprayed with water, glowing with colorful colors under the warm care of the distant sunset.
About 200 meters away, there is a glass greenhouse built by Su Yuxi, Raola Island has been bought by Su Yuxi from the billionaire Damon, and there is only one resort on the south side of the entire island, and the resort only occupies one-fifteenth of the island.
The resort was still managed by the original team, and Su Yuxi just spent a huge amount of money to build a semi-ring road, and set up a cable car at the top of the mountain and at the foot of the mountain, and finally built this villa on the top of the mountain in the north of the island.
With a great view and unlimited scenery, it belongs to the unexplored territory of this island.
Cheng Xiaoyu and Su Yuxi didn't ask for any servants, the two of them lived in this villa, and they did everything by themselves, and they were going to grow vegetables in the glass greenhouse at the moment, and strive to be self-sufficient in everything in the second half of the year.
Under the red slanting sun, the glass greenhouse with low light transmittance, on the edge of a lush fruit forest is a somewhat abrupt building, with the vast seascape in the distance, like a picture of scientific research in another planet.
Inexplicably, it gives people a very vast feeling.
The two entered the greenhouse, where they were busy planting peppers, cowpeas, cucumbers, potatoes, lettuce, greens and other vegetables using soilless cultivation methods.
Restricted by geographical factors, vegetables are relatively lacking materials on the island, Su Yuxi thought about bibimbap and bought some PC tubes, these days Cheng Xiaoyu's task is to build the tubes, and then dig some small holes above the tubes, connect the tubes together, and then put the seeds of some vegetables bought in the seedling cup to cultivate.
At this moment, half of the glass greenhouse is an aerial vegetable garden composed of PC tubes, and the scene is not spectacular, but it is quite interesting.
Cheng Xiaoyu began to assemble the PC tube on the other side of the greenhouse, while Su Yuxi fused the nutrient solution and water in proportion and watered it in the tube that had already been planted with vegetables.
After watering the vegetables, Su Yuxi helped Cheng Xiaoyu for a while, and when the sun fell into the sea, Su Yuxi went back to the villa to cook.
When the sun fell into the sea and was about to disappear, Su Yuxi came to Cheng Xiaoyu to eat, Cheng Xiaoyu, who was sweating profusely, took off his gloves and walked out of the greenhouse, Su Yuxi stood aside with a towel to wipe his sweat, and said, "Hard work, brother." ”
Cheng Xiaoyu said with a smile: "Although I like to hear you say that it is hard, in fact, I don't feel hard at all..... I love this life...."
Su Yuxi said: "I like it too..... But brother, don't force yourself, I have no intention of never going back to the city, as long as you like, we will live wherever you want. ”
Cheng Xiaoyu was about to speak, this was a stomach "growling" sound, Su Yuxi took Cheng Xiaoyu and walked back, and said, "Let's eat first, I made casserole rice...."
Cheng Xiaoyu quickened his pace, walked in front of Su Yuxi, led her forward and said, "Hurry up, I can't wait!" ”
The two of them walked back to the villa's dining room, where the huge floor-to-ceiling glass was open to the endless ocean on one side and the green mountains of the island on the other.
Su Yuxi pressed Cheng Xiaoyu to the small table next to the floor-to-ceiling window and said, "Wait...."There is a bigger table in the middle of the restaurant, but when there are not many dishes, the two of them sit at the small table.
Cheng Xiaoyu looked at the beautiful scenery outside the window, listened to the sea breeze howling, and after a while, Su Yuxi walked over with a rectangular tray in her hand, on which were placed two small ceramic pots, a stack of lettuce and two bowls of sauce, she put the tray on the table and said: "You said that it would be better to burn it with firewood, so I deliberately burned it with firewood...... Tonight we will eat a little easier, and tomorrow the two of us will go down the mountain to get some ingredients and drinks..... Next month, I can eat more vegetables that I grow....."
Cheng Xiaoyu watched Su Yuxi put the ceramic pot in front of him with gloves, and handed him the spoon, he took the spoon and said, "I thought about it, it's better not to raise chickens and ducks!" I feel that as long as it's a small animal, I can't bear to kill it! ”
Su Yuxi said: "Listen to you.... But it's a pity that such a large piece of space is empty.... Make a freshwater fish pond, or plant some flowers? ”
Cheng Xiaoyu said: "Why don't we raise a few dogs, Golden Retriever!" Erha, this kind of stupid and cute ....."
Su Yuxi said: "Okay, as long as you like ....."
Cheng Xiaoyu was just about to lift the lid of the ceramic pot, Su Yuxi hurriedly patted his hand and said: "Be careful of scalding ....." Then Su Yuxi took off the lid for Cheng Xiaoyu, and immediately the aroma came to his face.
The red and white sausages were cut into thin slices and spread on the crystal clear rice, and in the middle were the fat and thin bacon slices, Cheng Xiaoyu poured the sauce with red chili rings into the rice, and suddenly the appetite came up, Cheng Xiaoyu took the spoon and said: "It's so fragrant, I'm moving!" ”
Su Yuxi put a lettuce into Cheng Xiaoyu's bowl and said, "Eat it slowly...."
Cheng Xiaoyu said while eating: "Wang Ou will get married on the ninth of next month.... I.... We.... I still have to go back to Shanghai. ”
Su Yuxi said: "Hmm! Then I'll arrange the plane in advance. ”
Cheng Xiaoyu lowered his head and scooped a spoonful of rice stained with sauce, and said, "Let's go for a day.... I'll be right back.... If you run into any reporters, don't pay attention to them, leave everything to me..."
Su Yuxi said: "Brother, it's okay to stay for a few more days..... We didn't do anything wrong, there was nothing to worry about and be afraid of. ”
Cheng Xiaoyu didn't speak, just smiled a little worriedly, the two ate the meal, Su Yuxi cleaned up the table, Cheng Xiaoyu washed the dishes, and when Cheng Xiaoyu finished washing the dishes, Su Yuxi had already made two more cups of cappuccino fancy coffee, and a white smiling face floated on the dark coffee.
Cheng Xiaoyu said: "It's really amazing, my little sister is no longer a good wife and mother can describe....."
Su Yuxi picked up the cup and said, "As long as my brother likes it, he is gentle and virtuous, modern and fashionable, and domineering queen..... I'm all right! ”
Cheng Xiaoyu looked at Su Yuxi and said with a smile: "I like everything you look like....", and then Cheng Xiaoyu asked in a somewhat cautious tone: "But Xiaoxi..... Why do you like me? ”
Su Yuxi said in a flat tone: "Because I like to talk to my brother, I like to live with my brother, as long as I am with my brother, life is not so boring, as long as I talk to my brother, I feel that this world is still interesting....."
Hearing Su Yuxi's bland but serious words, Cheng Xiaoyu's tense nerves relaxed slightly, swallowed delicious coffee and said, "But..... I think I'm such a terrible person compared to you.... I don't even think I'm worthy of your love. ”
Su Yuxi looked at Cheng Xiaoyu's eyes and said: "Brother, being able to meet you is the most thankful thing for me, the happiest thing I am now is to be able to call you brother dozens of times a day, and no one can disturb me....."
Cheng Xiaoyu looked at Su Yuxi's deep eyes and said, "Then what if I'm gone?" ”
Su Yuxi said: "Why is it not there?" ”
Cheng Xiaoyu said: "Suppose ..... I'm just saying hypothetical..... I'm falling in love with someone else..... Or maybe it's too boring..... Sneaked away ....."
Su Yuxi said: "No, I will definitely not let you go." ”
Cheng Xiaoyu said: "Then what if I die?" ”
Su Yuxi said: "It's better to die together." ”
Cheng Xiaoyu said: "I understand..... You wait! After saying that, Cheng Xiaoyu got up and ran quickly towards the bedroom, and it didn't take long for him to run back out of breath, his white T-shirt sticking to his skin, and there were sweat stains that hadn't dried......
There was also an old box in his hand, and when he walked to Su Yuxi's side, Cheng Xiaoyu opened the box and said, "Xiaoxi, I'll bring you ......"
Su Yuxi looked at the diamond-filled Chopin watch in the box, stretched out her arm as smooth as jade, her hand exuded a charming luster in the last bit of afterglow of the sunset, at this moment she was showing her most beautiful posture to nature and Cheng Xiaoyu, although she was only wearing a simple T-shirt.
Compared to the velvety green woods outside the window, the green grass shimmering with droplets, the vast sea like a flat mirror, the flocks of white seagulls, the sky softer than silk......
Su Yuxi's beauty is not inferior at all, even more dazzling, and the setting sun inlays a layer of golden, wonderful and friendly brilliance on her beautiful face.
Cheng Xiaoyu's heart beat fast, and he buckled the Chopin watch, then he swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "This is what my mother left me and asked me to give to my future daughter-in-law..... It means that I give all my time to her....."
Su Yuxi looked at Cheng Xiaoyu and said, "Is this a marriage proposal?" ”
Cheng Xiaoyu mustered up the courage to kneel on one knee, held Su Yuxi's left hand and said, "Yes..... Yes..... Xiao Xi ..... I'm going to marry you, I'm going to marry you no matter what....."
The door of the restaurant, which had never been closed, blew a gust of wind, mixed with the fragrance of the sea and green leaves, and this gust of wind lifted Su Yuxi's long white hair tied with the red rope, and her expression sprouted a feminine, leisurely and serene expression.
Su Yuxi said softly: "I've been waiting for you to say this for a long time......" A kind of pleasure in the tone that was finally freed from restraint and restraint arose, and it was light like a pair of white wings.
Before Cheng Xiaoyu could be happy, he saw Su Yuxi bowing his head, his flawless face getting closer and closer, like a lost rose, and then kissed his lips with a rich red, and there was coffee foam on the lips of the two of them....
At this moment, the sea outside and the night melt like a sleeping dream, the sea breeze is like a song, and the stars are shining like diamonds.
