Chapter 9: The Sun Island Effect
At night, his head hurt a little, but it didn't get in the way, Nishino fell asleep groggily and soon fell asleep.
Nishino piloted a small wooden boat in a strange sea area, the sea was calm, and there were no ships coming and going in the endless sea.
Nishino's lips were dry from the scorching sun, the fresh water on board had been drunk, and the food and vegetables had been depleted, and if there were no more seafarers to rescue him, he would have been trapped in the middle of the sea.
The blue sky, the blue sea, the dry figure, the haggard face. From time to time, a few low-chirping seagulls flew in the sky, circling a few times over Nishino's boat, but they didn't land, and they spread their wings and flew away.
Nishino was almost in despair, when suddenly a small island appeared, with a silver sand beach, and many tall coconut trees, palm trees, and dense cacti stood on the island.
"There is always hope, and opportunities are often waiting for personal attachment." Nishino muttered to himself. He pulled himself together and rowed the boat faster towards the sea of the isolated island.
Nishino docked the boat on the beach, got off the boat, and walked slowly on the soft sand, the sea breeze came out, and the tiredness of his body went with the wind. Those tall coconut trees have not yet reached the ripe season, and no matter how Nishino shakes them, in vain, not a single coconut has fallen to the ground. Nishino tried to climb a tree to pick it, but he didn't have the strength to do it, so he had to give up.
The sun is still vicious, the sea water cannot be drunk directly, and the depressed Nishino has smoke in his throat, and he has to find a place to quench his thirst as soon as possible. The island is miles away, and it's not easy to find water. In the depths of the woods, Nishino faintly heard the sound of the spring water gurgling, and couldn't help but get excited, quicken his pace, and follow the sound of the water.
Before long, Nishino found a water source on the edge of a dense sisal, and hurriedly picked up the sisal, and a cool small pool appeared in front of him. The waterhole was so clear that it reflected Nishino's unkempt appearance, he couldn't care about it so much, and just lay on the edge of the waterhole and grunted.
Wow, this spring water is so sweet and cool, Nishino finally drank enough, washed his face by the way, and was about to get up, when the sound of Si Suo Suo sounded behind him. Turning his head, there was a woman in red with a long sword walking behind, covered with a purple scarf, her face could not be seen, her willow eyebrows were upside down, and the two angry Danfeng eyes seemed to say: "Don't get out of the way, don't force my aunt and grandmother to make a move." ”
"Not good!" Nishino shouted in his heart. Before he could get up, the woman in red flew in front of him like the wind, and the cold sword was already on her neck.
"Girl, I'm just drinking here, why do you want to kill me?" Nishino was not afraid.
"This place is a forbidden place for holy springs, and men are not allowed to step into half a step, if you enter by mistake today, my aunt and grandmother will let you die to understand." The woman in red said coldly.
"I don't know it's a holy spring, and it's not an exaggeration to say that I don't know. Who else is there on this island but you and me? Nishino, who had been lying on the edge of the spring, argued.
"Boy, it's not an exaggeration to say that it doesn't apply to my Sun Island. Suffer death, and say whatever you have to say. The woman in red still spoke strongly.
I don't know what's going on, Nishino suddenly has a large bouquet of bright red roses in his arms, he rolls his eyes, and slowly stands up from the ground. Xiye held the roses in both hands and said with a hippie smile: "Auntie, this was stolen by Xiaosheng from the Lingxiao Palace, and it was originally intended to be given to Chang'e, but now it is important to save your life, so I will give it to you." ”
Maybe I've never seen roses, and with such a big stack, the woman in red was overjoyed, so in order not to let Nishino see that she was greedy for small favors and favors, she gritted her silver teeth: "Boy, you take this little thing you don't have, and you want me to let you live, it's impossible!" ”
Nishino read the woman's mind from her flickering eyes, and said, "I don't know what to do, don't want the treasures in the sky, then I'll throw it into the water?" After saying that, he pretended to throw it into the pool.
"Wait—if there is a foreign object in the Holy Spring, the Sun Island will be in trouble. You can hand over this flower to me. ”
"Didn't you say you didn't want to? I won't give it to you if I throw it on the ground, because you don't have a shame on your face. ”
"Whatever you want, if you don't want to leave Sun Island alive, you can throw it on the ground, aunt and grandmother are not rare."
Wanting to indulge in the ineffectiveness of the plan, Nishino was like a deflated ball, so he had to hold the rose and hand it directly to the woman in red: "Give-"
"Boy, I am the queen of Sun Island, if you want to offer flowers, you have to follow the etiquette of Sun Island."
"I don't know, please let the queen make it clear-"
"Kneel down on one knee and offer it respectfully with both hands!"
"Yes! Queen. Nishino did as the queen said, "My noble queen, my subject Nishino presents a bouquet of roses from the Lingxiao Palace, and asks Her Majesty to accept it." ”
The woman in red took the red rose, put it under her nose and took a few deep breaths, smelled it for a long time, and said: "Xiye obeys the order, this queen gives you the position of earl, and half of the land of this Sun Island will belong to you." ”
"Nishino is honoured, thank you to Her Majesty. My noble Majesty, may I kiss your hand? Nishino, who had been kneeling, asked.
"Oh, of course."
Nishino took the queen's slender hand and kissed it vigorously, feeling the fragrance and flattered. Then he raised his head to the sky and shouted: "O God my god, please give me the gospel, and it will be good for a heavy snowfall?" ”
Perhaps it was Nishino's sincerity that touched God, but suddenly the wind rose, the sun was gone, the clouds were overcast, and after a while, the sky was covered with goose feathers and snow. Nishino knew how to tremble, but he continued to pray, "God, let the blizzard come more violently—"
Unexpectedly, the queen came over with a sword and went straight into Nishino's heart: "You madman, go to death, you can't do it if you want to freeze to death this queen!" ”
"No, my noble queen—"
Nishino jumped up from the bed in fright, and let out a cold sweat. Hurriedly touched his chest, there was no sharp sword, but it seemed to be a little painful, and Nishino was panting. Oh, it turned out to be a nightmare!
"Who could be the masked woman in red in the dream? Is it a Zongjian? Liu Mei and Danfeng's eyes are like Zongjian, but their eyes are not very similar, and the queen has waist-length flowing hair. Is it He Yan? She has long hair, but it's not that long, and her eyes and temper are seven points similar. Do the two of them have anything to do with my past life? The more Nishino thought about it, the more confused he became, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt evil and restless.
Fantasy and reality are not the same, so don't think about it so much. Learning comes first, and Nishino no longer tries to look back on the nightmare, which is too worrying.
The night was very quiet and quiet, outside the window, the moonlight was like flowing water, shining obliquely into the window, Nishino lay quietly on the bed, his pounding heart could not calm down for a long time, and it was difficult to sleep.
At this time, he fell into deep thought: when he was not in the first middle school, Nishino felt that his grades were still very good, and when he arrived at the cram school, he realized that the English score he was proud of did not have any advantage at all. In the sixth middle school, there were still about 100 points in the monthly English test, and Nishino was complacent, thinking that he was already amazing.
Until the monthly exam half a month ago, the cram school was a place where the cram school was a hidden dragon and crouching tiger, and there were countless cram schools with more than 120 points. Regardless of Zhu Hailong, he is the leader among the hundreds of people in the cram school; Compared with Liao Xiaoni and He Yan, there is also a gap, I have begun to read the original English books, and I am still at the English level of the first and second years of high school, and I don't feel ashamed.
"I am a well frog in the mountains, and if I don't get out of the mountains, I don't know how big the outside world is. Only by working harder and harder can it be possible to surpass others and realize the dream in your heart. Life in the ivory tower is fascinating, and not every student can easily squeeze across the single-plank bridge and enter the halls of higher learning. Nishino had a lot of thoughts.
"Zong Jian is a cousin, and she is a little related to me, if she really likes me, falling in love with her won't affect her studies, right?" When I think of Zong Mouse, the scene of practicing at the airport in the afternoon comes to mind, and Nishino may really toss and turn and can't sleep all night......
"Nishino, it's time to get up and eat!" There was a tuk-tuk knock at the door.
Nishino finally opened his eyes and replied, "Got it, I'll be here in a while." ”
Nishino got dressed, quickly made the bed, opened the door, and Zongjian was still standing outside the door: "This is your toothbrush and face towel, go to the bathroom and wash up." ”
"I'm sorry to keep you waiting. Uncle wasn't drunk last night, was he? Nishino gently took the item and asked Zongjian in a low voice.
"My dad he's fine, that little bit of wine is a little meaning. Early in the morning, my dad took a long-distance bus to Changsha for a meeting. Zong Jian's voice was loud, and the director's wife heard Nishino get up, walked over slowly, and smiled: "Big nephew, my girl has been waiting for you outside the door for a long time." ”
"Auntie, I overslept and drank so much for the first time last night. I'm causing you trouble here. ”
"Where, no, no. You and Zong Jian are together, and my aunt is not in a hurry to be happy. Maybe you'll be a regular visitor to my house in the future. ”
"Mom, where did you go? I'm still in school, so I don't have to worry about finding a husband. ”
"You're almost twenty, can mom not be anxious? Besides, cousins get married, kiss on top of each other, and kiss each other. ”
"Auntie, I'm ...... with Zongjian" Nishino wanted to interject a word, but he didn't have a chance.
"Eldest nephew, Zong Jian told me a few times about the two of you, and my aunt already knew about it. My aunt will call the shots for you, and I will do the ideological work of Zongjian and his father. ”
"No, you can't. I want to go to college and don't want to get married too early. Nishino said stupidly.
"Alas, eldest nephew, my aunt doesn't want you two to get married now, so nervous about what to do. Your cousin Zong Qin has settled outside, and I told your uncle last night that I have to leave Zong Jian at home to take care of us. "The director's wife said that it was a set of things.
"Mom, don't cook yet, I'll send my cousin to school later." Zongjian motioned to his mother to stop talking.
"Good, good. Then I'll go to the kitchen and get busy. ”
When Nishino came back from washing, the food was already on the table, and Zongjian ate next to Nishino as usual. The child Nishino thanked the director's wife vigorously: "Thank you for such a hearty breakfast early in the morning, aunt." In fact, it is best to get fewer dishes and eat them after every meal. ”
My aunt smiled and said, "You're welcome, it's not much, it's only four dishes and one soup." ”
Zong Jian hit Nishino with his hand: "Our family's breakfast is usually noodles, but if you come, I'll eat a good meal with you." You remember it for me, and be kind to my mother in the future. ”
"Uh-huh, I will."
"You two are so affectionate before you officially get married. It's like our time, we didn't say a word when we met for a long time. Come on, come on, eat the vegetables—"
"Mom, times are different, and free love is now popular. Most of your meetings are matchmakers, and you get married hastily without understanding each other clearly. ”
"No, but your dad and I are in free love, not at the behest of my parents."
Mother and daughter, you say a word, I say a word, eat and talk, until breakfast is finished. And Nishino was a loyal listener, listening attentively, and didn't say a few words from beginning to end.
