Chapter 246: Tang Xun's Secret
Yang Congyi quickly climbed down the big tree, and without waiting for Tang Xun to get close, he said: "Brother Tang, according to my observation, this is a volcanic island, there must be a mainland within two hundred miles of this island, as long as we are lucky, we will not die here." β
"Two hundred miles? We don't have a boat, swim over? Tang Xun asked rhetorically, what good news is this.
Yang Congyi said: "You can't swim over, but it's not far from the land, there should be a lot of ships passing through this sea area, and you can leave this island if you contact them." The view from the top of the mountain is wide, and we will be here to see if there are any boats passing by in the next few days, and then we will find a way, and it is estimated that we will have to live on the island for a while. β
Hearing this, Tang Xun asked again, "What if there is no boat passing by?" β
Yang Congyi said: "I can't say that I can only swim over." β
Tang Xun was speechless for a while, handed Yang Congyi a few bananas, and then said, "Go to the sea to feed the fish, then it is better to die here." β
"You just said you were going to tell me what secret?" Yang Congyi ate bananas in a few bites, consuming too much energy, and he was indeed very hungry.
"Nothing, just don't say it. We're still going to have to find water, and we can't just eat these things. Tang Xun turned around and left.
"There is no river on the island, but there are so many trees, and there must be a lot of groundwater, so digging a pit at the bottom of the mountain should be able to seep out some fresh water." After waking up in the morning, he always felt that Tang Xun was a little weird, but Yang Congyi couldn't say what was strange, and now that he was trapped on the island, he didn't have the heart to think about Tang Xun's problem.
On the same day, the two found a pothole at the bottom of the mountain, dug several deep pits in a row, and finally could see some traces of fresh water, and after half a day, a lot of fresh water accumulated at the bottom of the pit.
The island has no worries about drinking water, the next thing is to look for boats, Yang Congyi has to go to the top of the mountain a few times every day, carefully observe whether there are ships passing by in the surrounding waters, but five days have passed, and there is not even a sail around, which makes Yang Congyi very depressed, is it really necessary to live on this island?
For many days after that, Yang Congyi still went to the top of the mountain every day, climbed high and looked far away, looking for ships on the surrounding sea, but every time he was disappointed.
After a few days of dreary work, Tang Xun dismantled the sails and began to busily build houses on the half-slope, preparing to live on the island for a long time.
After the simple houses were built, they also had a habitat on the island.
The night is quiet and the sky is clear, a bright moon, and the sky is full of stars.
Trapped on the island, there is nothing to do every day, and when I can't sleep at night, I have to watch the moonlight on the beach and listen to the sound of the waves crashing on the shore.
Yang Congyi and Tang Xun sat five feet apart and were silent, these days, they had their own things on their minds and talked very little.
After looking at the stars and moon for a long time, Tang Xun suddenly turned his head to look at Yang Congyi, with a puzzled expression on his face.
Yang Congyi felt that strange gaze, and was shocked, and hurriedly turned his gaze away, pretending not to find anything.
Not long after, I only heard Tang Xun say: "Brother Yang, we probably won't be able to go out." I've been thinking about it for a long time and I'm going to tell you a secret. β
"Oh, what's the secret of Brother Tang?" Yang Congyi turned his head to look over.
Tang Xun didn't reply, stared at him for a while, and then reached out to untie his hair. A head of swarthy hair suddenly fell, covering his shoulders and hanging down to his chest.
Yang Congyi looked at all this, his face was calm, although he didn't know what Tang Xun meant, he felt in his heart that this should be a very unusual secret.
"I've kept this secret for a long time, and I originally planned to keep it until I die, but now we're stranded on an island, isolated from the world, and I guess we can't leave it anymore. I also thought about it for a long time, Brother Yang and I have been together day and night for more than a year, you are not an outsider, it's time to tell you this secret. β
After Tang Xun said this, he paused for a while, seeing that the expression on Yang Congyi's face had not changed, so he continued: "Brother Yang, I'll just say it directly, in fact, I am a daughter!" β
"Daughter? Are you kidding me! Yang Congyi couldn't believe his ears, this classmate who had eaten and slept with him for a year and a half was a woman? He's not a fool, if the person he gets along with day and night is a woman, he can't find out?
Tang Xun didn't believe Yang Congyi at all, and he didn't explain, he directly raised his hand and took off his coat, so that only plain underwear remained.
Seeing that Yang Congyi's face changed slightly, but he was more questioning, Tang Xun gritted his teeth and untied his upper underwear again, revealing a circle of plain fabric that wrapped his chest.
Seeing Yang Congyi sitting in place, Tang Xun retied his underwear and said: "I have three sisters, no brother, the family hopes to have a son to support the faΓ§ade, but four daughters in a row, my father is desperate, so after I was born, he planned to raise me as a son first, and then let me be a girl again. My family was worried that one day I would find out that I was actually a girl, so they raised my three younger sisters as sons. But we will grow up, and gradually we will know that we are different from other boys, and when my sister and I went to ask my father, my father told me that we must have a son among the four sisters, otherwise our family will lose its place in the clan. I was an older sister, and I usually took care of them like an older brother, so I didn't have a choice at that time. Although I promised to be a son, my three younger sisters were not able to become daughters right away, and they could not recover their daughters and marry until I supported the faΓ§ade of our branch. When I was a child, my family also invited Mr. Private School, hoping that I could participate in the imperial examination, and I would be able to shine in the future, but I was not a reading material, after reading the Four Books and Five Classics, I couldn't write a decent article, three years ago I heard that I wanted to open martial arts, mainly martial arts, the article fell second, since I was a child, in order to be more like a boy, the family also invited a martial artist to teach us martial arts, my father felt that this was a good opportunity, so he spent a lot of money, and gave me a chance to get a martial arts entrance exam. You know the next thing, after the official was awarded at the beginning of last year, the news came back to his hometown, the family was very happy, and the three-day flowing water banquet was put on a big swagger, our position in the clan was more stable, and I was considered to be ahead, and my sisters began to slowly recover their daughters, and I can't, I can only be a man in this life, if nothing else, we will be the master of the house in the future, and it is impossible to be incognito. Now trapped on this deserted island, there is no one but you and me, and I want to be my daughter again. β
Tang Xun told his own experience, how many unwillingness and injustice, how many inconveniences and tribulations there have been over the years, Yang Congyi couldn't imagine it, he only felt that the person in front of him was as pitiful as him, one couldn't tell his origin, and the other couldn't tell his identity. After calming down his complicated mood a little, he didn't know what to say, but in order to avoid embarrassment, he still felt that he should say something, so he said, "Brother Tang...... Miss Tang, you shouldn't have told me this, maybe we can still get out. β
Tang Xun smiled: "I am the fourth in the family, Brother Yang can call me Siniang." Whether I can go out in the future or not, I want to be my daughter here now, even if it's for a few days. β
Yang Congyi looked at Tang Xun, he didn't know what to say, in front of him was a classmate who had been with him for a year and a half, not long ago he was Brother Tang, but at this time he became Siniang, in his opinion, Brother Tang and Siniang are two people, it is difficult to draw an equal sign, he is familiar with Brother Tang, but he is not familiar with Siniang at all. After looking at each other awkwardly for a moment, he looked away.
"Siniang, if we are not afraid of death, we can still leave here, do you want to take risks?" After struggling for a long time, he spit out the word Siniang.
"I don't want to, instead of dying at sea and not knowing where to drift away in the end, it's better to be a companion with Brother Yang on this island, and if you die in the future, you can die in the same place." Tang Xun turned her head and looked at her feet, only in this night, on this desert island without any outsiders, could she say her thoughts buried deep in her heart so boldly.
Hearing this, Yang Congyi finally understood the meaning of Tang Xun telling him this secret tonight, and also understood why a few days ago, he thought Tang Xun was weird, it turned out that it was a silent friendship, and he wanted to talk. But he is already a pro-person, Qingchen is still waiting for him at home, she has suffered so much before she came to him, even if he can't go back, he can't be sorry for her, not to mention that he may not be able to go back.
But if you rashly tell Tang Xun that he had married before leaving Quanzhou, I don't know what this girl who has just mustered up the courage to reveal her identity and heart to herself will do. On this deserted island, no matter what accident happens, it is something he can't imagine, they still have to coexist peacefully and support each other, so she must not feel hurt now.
"Siniang, to be honest, now that I know that you are a daughter, I don't know how to face you, like a stranger, but not a stranger, saying familiar, but not familiar, this feeling is very uncomfortable, I can't accept it for a while." Yang Congyi thought about it, or accept the change of Tang Xun's identity first, what will happen in the future, and then talk about it later, take one step at a time.
"Brother Yang, you still treat me as the old me, how was it before, what will happen in the future, don't be entangled, anyway, there are just the two of us on this island, and there will be no outsiders pointing fingers and chewing the root of the tongue." Tang Xun turned his face, and his face suddenly turned crimson.
"Ahem, the moonlight is good today, and I suddenly want to chant a poem." Yang Congyi felt that the atmosphere was a little delicate, so he quickly coughed dryly and changed the topic.
"Brother Yang is so interested, hurry up and let Siniang listen." Tang Xun had a smile on his face, looking very interested.
Yang Congyi looked up at the bright moon, thought for a while, and then chanted: "The bright moon is born on the sea, and the end of the world is at this time." The sword light dances under the fence, and the eyes are lovesick. I don't know where to go, and what is the basis for the wind and rain. Thousands of miles of smoke, the old people stay together, a little shelter. β
"Good poetry, Brother Yang is still amazing, Siniang can't write such poems." Tang Xun said this, but the expression on his face changed, and there was a hint of disappointment in his eyes.
"Siniang, the night is so good, anyway, if you have nothing to do, you can also write a poem." Yang Congyi smiled slightly.
