Chapter 129: Desert Island (Part I)
"Ahem......"
Nanshan tried to open her eyes, but her eyes were stung by the sudden sunlight, she tried to rub them with her hands, her body sank and fell into the water again, and suddenly, a large mouthful of salty water poured into her mouth, she pulled it twice with great effort, trying to expose her mouth and nose to the water.
"Where is this...... Nanshan took a big breath of the lost air, his eyes narrowing slightly.
What caught her eye was the endless surface of the water, and several white seagulls hovered over her head, recalling the saltiness that had just been poured into her mouth, and she suddenly felt a thrill!
It's the sea!
How so? She had clearly fallen into a black whirlpool in the river, but why did she wake up in this vast sea?
Her limbs were a little numb by the seawater, and when she was at a loss, several water streaks appeared on the sea surface in the distance, which made Nanshan suddenly a little alert, and she raised her hand to throw out a streamer.
It's just that her mind just moved slightly, but there was an indescribable pain in her heart, she subconsciously covered her chest with her hands, tightened her clothes, and closed her eyes in despair.
At the moment when she was swept into the whirlpool, she had already realized that in addition to the basic skill of swimming, she was now just an ordinary person adrift in the vast and boundless sea......
She remembered the big hand that was tightly hugging her waist in the water before, and the vigilance in her eyes slowly turned into an expectation—maybe the moment she fell, Qingyue also jumped down?
However, the water waved, and the man who surfaced shook his long black hair, showed a worried look, and swam towards her.
Not Qingyue.
Nanshan wiped the seawater from his face and hurriedly swam to the man.
"Miss Anan, are you okay?" Arasa finally grabbed Nanshan's sleeve in the water, and at that moment, he felt as if he had captured the whole world.
Nanshan was surprised: "You, why are you here?" ”
Araxia obviously couldn't answer her question for a while, looked around, suddenly, his brows furrowed, Nanshan followed his gaze to look in one direction of the sea level, as if there was a rolling thick cloud falling from the sky, but like a meteorite outside the sky, it smashed into the calm sea at once, stirring up thousands of waves, and quickly sucked the sea water into the air, churning and rolling into a tornado.
The storm writhed its stout mountain-like body, and everywhere it went, a huge wave exploded, and in an instant, dark clouds obscured the daylight, and the whole sea became like nightfall, and the seagulls screamed and flew in all directions, but they could not resist the overwhelming wind and rain.
"Miss Anan! Hold me tight! Araxia thought of it, and used all his strength to hold Nanshan in his arms, and as his feet stepped on the water, he flew into the air with Nanshan.
He never considered himself a weakling, and no matter what kind of enemies he had faced before, he could always deal with them with arrogance and indifference, and now he did not feel that he would succumb to a great storm on the sea.
But he underestimated the unknowability of this anthropomorphic world, and he also overestimated his own energy as a cultivator of the selfless realm.
His thoughts only gathered for a moment, but he was defenseless and felt a sharp pain bursting deep in his veins, and the pain quickly spread throughout his body, making his arms tremble involuntarily.
But he was unwilling to let go, gritted his teeth and insisted on hugging Nanshan, sometimes treading waves, sometimes flying low, shuttling between wind and waves and showers.
As if to reward them for their immortality, when they finally got away from the storm and the haze shrouded in the storm, a cloud-shrouded island slowly appeared in front of them.
The island is lush with vegetation, with large unknown birds hovering in the sky above the island, long stretches of silver-white sand into the azure waters, and schools of small colorful fish swim among the coral reefs in the shallow waters.
Huang Xia's consciousness gradually dissipated, leaving only a trace of Qingming and gently letting go of the hand holding Nanshan's waist, but unfortunately before Nanshan's feet fell on the fine white gravel, his eyes were already dark, and he fell straight back......
……
Nanshan couldn't believe that he had such a talent for surviving on a desert island.
When the sun was setting, she set up a shack in the woods, leaning on an old tree with countless fibrous roots, which were covered with soft and slippery moss, although a little wet, but fortunately there were no annoying mosquitoes around, and Nanshan used this place as a temporary bed.
With the help of a few low branches of the old tree at the top, Nanshan found some banana leaves that were half as tall as her, and densely laid several layers, in order to be afraid of being blown away by the wind, Nanshan used some vines to firmly fix the banana leaves on the branches of the old tree.
I don't know how many years this old tree has survived, the trunk is as thick as a solid wall, Nanshan chose to build a shack against this old tree, also taking this into account, so she only needs to cut some slender branches, and then weave them together with tenacious vines, she can build the other three sides of the "fence".
When he was busy, Nanshan never stopped thinking about this event, the astrology that had never gone wrong, the void and darkness that he had gone to before, the girl who looked eight or nine points similar to her in a dream, and the man who talked to the girl......
The man's appearance is also eight or nine points similar to the current Emperor of Eastern Xia, and even Nanshan feels that they are the same person, but the only thing that makes her feel uncertain is the man's eyes.
That man's eyes were full of blazing fire, full of contempt for all living beings in the world, full of desire.
And today's Eastern Xia Emperor Huangxia, except for the occasional flash of some sharp edges in his eyes, is more often indifferent, a depression and loneliness that is empty-eyed.
But she obviously couldn't get to the bottom of a clueless matter, so she could only laugh to herself twice and turn to serious consideration for dinner.
She made her way down the beach to the shallow water, and found that the colorful fish were stupid and slammed into her legs, but it didn't seem so easy to catch them, and whenever she put her hands into the water, the fish swam from her legs to the depths of the reef with their tails as if they had received some signal.
"Looks like you'll have to make a fishing net." Nanshan touched his shriveled belly, and helplessly listened to a long sorrowful cry coming from his stomach.
She found a long, flat stone in the woods, and sharpened it against each other with another, which looked harder, until one side of the stone became as sharp as a dagger, and then she breathed a sigh of satisfaction.
Then she plunged into the sea and dived for a long time, and by the time she returned to shore, she had a handful of green seaweed in her hand.
Some fine salt can be scraped off the dried seaweed, and it can be knotted and intertwined to weave a simple fishing net, which may not always catch any big fish, but can always deal with the small, colorful fish that are dull.
When Araga Xia woke up, the moonlight was projecting through the gap in the banana leaves, and a fire had already risen on Nanshan Mountain on the side, and a few palm-sized small fish threaded together with branches roasted a burnt fragrance on the fire.
"We ...... This is in ...... Where......" Araxia asked weakly, now stiff as if he had no feeling from the neck down.
Nanshan replied to him sullenly, and there was no joy or anger in his tone: "How do I know where it is, it should be a desert island on the sea." ”
"What are you doing?" Araxia turned his head sideways and saw that Nanshan was wrapping the seaweed around the grilled fish, and he couldn't help but feel a little strange.
"The sun went down too early, and the seaweed was still wet, so I couldn't scrape off the salt particles, so I had to tie them to the fish, and when they were cooked, they could always have some salty flavor." Nanshan said as he tied a bow with seaweed on the last fish.
"With the way you grill it, the outside will be scorched in a while, and the fish inside will also be stained with a burnt taste......
"Huh? What do you care about my roasting? You don't need to eat anyway. ”
Hearing her say this, Huang Xia could only twitch the corners of his mouth and withdraw his gaze, and sighed softly.
After a short time, Nanshan chiseled the grilled fish from the branches, put it on a piece of washed plantain leaves, and tore it with his hands to eat it happily.
It's a bit mushy, but the unique burnt aroma of grilled fish also has the salty and fresh taste of seaweed, which makes Nanshan, who only ate a few fruits at noon, very satisfied.
But as the chewing sound in his ears became louder and louder, Araxia couldn't help it anymore. He didn't know what was wrong with him, why he felt a burst of unspeakable pain when he used his mind to fly low on the surface of the sea before, and the pain went to his bone marrow.
Now, he feels that the thoughts in his bones have almost disappeared without a trace, and it is difficult to even sit up with his body propped up.
What made him even more unbelievable was that he actually had a strong interest in the torn fish in Nanshan's hands......
Nanshan felt the scorching eyes of the wild summer, smashed his mouth stuffed with fish meat twice, shook his head and sighed: "Alas? Aren't you a selfless enlightened person? I'm going to become an immortal soon! Also, don't you look down on people like me who are too forgetful and are always swayed by their appetites? ”
She smiled slyly, twisted the meat in the tips of her fingers, raised it above her head, shook it twice before bringing it to her mouth, and then deliberately slowed down her movements and chewed it heavily.
