21. The wind and rain are coming (II)
The storm lasted for a day and a night, and then the Dongming Sea returned to calm, with the sea breeze blowing, the seabirds chirping, the waves slight, and the fish leaping through the day.
The shadow of the sun gradually fell, and night crept in, and the ice wheel hung in the middle of the sky.
On the beach lay two men on their backs, one holding a long whip tightly in his hand, one end wrapped around the waist of the other, and the other holding the whip in his hand. From time to time, the water washed up on the shore, pushing them up and down into the beach, and sometimes into the sea, while the two of them just lay quietly, as if they were asleep, and let their bodies rise and sink in the middle of the sea.
The night passed quietly, and the moon gradually slanted.
The two lying on the beach seemed to have slept enough, each moving slightly, one eyelid fluttering, one finger bouncing, and then they both opened their eyes almost at the same time.
What catches the eye is a dark canopy of ink, embedded with countless shining stars, embracing a waning moon, extending boundlessly, making people instantly give birth to a sense of humility in the sky and the tide of the sky.
Both of them were confused for a moment, fascinated by the beauty of this scene, confused about where they were, and at that moment, the two of them felt the existence of the other person at the same time, and the moment they turned their heads and saw each other, they secretly said in their hearts: The ghost is not gone! Nightmares don't stop!
But there was a close smile on each of their faces.
"Fortunately, the second son can be seen after the catastrophe." One said with joy, but the whip in his hand was clenched tighter, and the internal force of his palm was ready to go.
"It's really comforting that the seven young people can be safe and sound." One said with a sincere face, and the tips of his fingers on the whip were raised, and the force between his fingers was about to be triggered.
The two of them also saw each other's movements, looked at each other, raised their eyebrows, and then withdrew their skills quietly. It's a long time coming, and I don't know where I am at the moment, so it's not appropriate to lose both. At this moment, the two reached a consensus.
"It looks like we've been washed up on this island by the waves." Akiji untied the whip around his waist and stood up.
"Without a little popularity, it is estimated to be a desert island." Lan Qi also stood up and wrapped the whip around his waist, "This red dragon whip of the eldest prince Yuwen should be woven by Ujin, otherwise it would be so strong." "The waves didn't break off, but they became grasshoppers on a rope with this fake fairy, but what ...... Oh no!
The two walked ashore from the sea, and their first feeling was that they were hungry and thirsty.
The two looked at each other, and under the moonlight and starlight, the two of them could see the square appearance clearly, which was really unprecedented embarrassment, and at this moment, the two discovered the perfection of each other's facial features.
Both of them are charming characters, and when others look at them, they always have preconceived temperaments of the two of them, but they often ignore the faces of the two, although they know that they are born well, but they are not cared for. And at this moment, the two of them lost their crowns, their clothes were messy, and their grooming was completely ruined, where could they still talk about charm and demeanor, so the face took off the temperament that had been caged on it, and it was as eye-catching as mountain dew.
The two looked away after one glance, and each snorted secretly.
Demons are really born with a good skin that is confusing!
Fake immortals are really born with a good skin that deceives people!
After humming, each of their bellies made an indecent grunt, and looked at each other again, saving some teasing, and each searched all the places on their bodies where they could put something, to see if they could find something to eat.
After some searching, the two sat opposite each other.
In front of Lan Qi was a white jade fan and several delicate small porcelain bottles.
In front of Ming Er, there was a purple bamboo flute and several delicate small porcelain bottles.
The two looked at what was in front of them, then looked up at each other, the corners of each other's mouths twitching.
"The second son, do you have any big tonic pills?" Lan Qi picked up the jade fan in his hand and pointed to the small porcelain bottles in front of the second er. Although the tonic pill is not considered food, it can always improve people's spirit.
"I've always been very good underneath." Mingji sighed. The implication is that he didn't bring any big tonic pills.
"Alas!" Lan Qi sighed. Look at the second son of Ming on the other side, and then look at the dark island, "I hope there are a lot of pheasants and hares on this island." After saying this, he seemed to think of something, and hurriedly searched for it again, and finally looked at Ming Er dejectedly, "What about yours?" ”
Ming Er also thought of it, hurriedly looked for it, and finally spread his hands, and said helplessly: "I also washed away." ”
Lan Qi stroked his forehead**, "Without flint, can't pheasants and hares eat raw." ”
"Maybe there's someone on this island." Meiji is more optimistic.
"It's best that the family has a few young, beautiful and lovely daughters at home." There was obvious ridicule in Lan Qi's words.
"There are also a few young and handsome sons, after all, Qi Shao has both yin and yang." The second son of Ming is not a person who is beaten by just sitting.
The two looked at each other again, and each laughed at themselves, when they got to this step, what they said just now was a waste of their strength, and it was not worth it.
"Let's find a place to rest first, and then figure out a way tomorrow when it's dawn." Akiji got up.
"yes, at least dry this garment first." Lan Qi rarely agreed.
The two of them walked on the beach, then found a big reef sheltered from the wind, sat down separately, first forced a body of clothes, and then meditated and breathed, entering the realm of forgetting things and me, and of course forgetting that they were hungry and thirsty.
In the early morning of the second day, both opened their eyes at the same time.
At that time, a round of rising sun was slowly rising on the sea, round as red jade, sprinkling a gentle red light, for the sky, for the sea, for the island, crossing a layer of light red makeup, the clouds were gorgeous, the waves were magnificently surging, and there were seabirds flying between the sea of clouds.
When the two saw this beautiful scenery, they felt that they had never seen it in their lives, and it was difficult to draw pictures.
"It's so magnificent, it's time to share it with a beautiful woman." Lan Qi sighed, and glanced at Ming Er with blue eyes, looking very regretful.
Ming Er glanced at Lan Qi and said, "Qi Shao is a beautiful woman at the moment, and in the future, he can be regarded as a beautiful woman." ”
Lan Qi's first reaction when he heard this was to look down at his body, and saw that although his clothes were a little dirty, he still wore them well.
"Seven young people have long hair, but few women can match it." Ming Er smiled a little on his lips, and a hint of strange light flashed in his empty eyes.
Lan Qi raised his hand to touch his head, and then he woke up that the hair crown had been washed off in the sea, and his long hair was all scattered at the moment, and when he was about to tie it up, he thought about it and gave up, just smiled and said, "The second son can only see others and can't see his own body?" Yang Fan pointed at himself, and the same hair crown was lost, and he was scattered.
Ming Eryi said calmly: "How can I compare with Qi Shao in the next, this hair is ...... down" The words behind it were omitted, and it was up to Delan Qi to think about it himself.
Lan Qi already has a beautiful complexion, although when he was a man, anyone looked at him as a beautiful man, but at this moment, his black hair was pouring down, and he was tired, and he hadn't eaten for a long time, his spirit was damaged, and his expression had a little tiredness, which added a bit of femininity.
It's just that what kind of person is Lan Qi, how could he be moved by Ming Er's words, at the moment, his blue eyes flowed, he smiled at Ming Er, got up and approached Ming Er, and said softly: "Speaking of which, if the object of this broken sleeve is a character like the second son, Ben Shao will not mind." ”
On weekdays, no matter how Lan Qi laughed, he didn't move like a mountain, but at this moment, he suddenly stretched out his hand to block, "Don't lean over!" ”
Lan Qi raised his eyebrows, is this fake immortal really lustful?
Who knew that Ming Er's next sentence was: "It's too dirty." ”
Too dirty? Too dirty? It's so dirty! He even said that his man was ashamed to death, and the woman loved and admired death, and Lan Qishao, who was unique in heaven and earth, and was too dirty?!
"And it smells fishy, it stinks." Ming Er poured another spoonful of oil on the plain and bland.
Gush! The volcano has erupted!
Lan Qihuo stood up, the long eyebrows drawn in ink were raised, and the jade condensed blue eyes shot out of the devouring light, and the condescending finger under Ming Er, the thunderbolt was a roar: "Do you fake immortal think that you are still a dusty immortal?" His hair is like a bird's nest, his face is like a big opera, his clothes are like a beggar's, and his whole body is full of mud and sand, as if he was picked out of a dung pit, and thrown on the street, and the smell can be smoked hundreds of miles away, you...... You...... You're just a pile of shit! ”
This time it was the turn of the elegant and calm Ming Ergongzi, and his expression changed when he heard the words. Thinking about his son, since he was born, from his relatives to the rivers and lakes to make friends, which one is not an elegant character, or a servant of the family or those rough men on the rivers and lakes, when he sees him, he will become extraordinarily gentle and polite, and whether it is in the Ming family or in the rivers and lakes, who does not praise him for his earthly demeanor, how can anyone be so disrespectful, and it is so unbearable, it really surprised him.
The elegant and wise Second Prince Ming pointed at Lan Qi, his tongue was a little clumsy, "You...... You say that...... That one...... What kind of dirty and smelly ......" such vulgar words the second son really didn't say it, even if he said it, he felt that it was a kind of filth.
"Ben said you were shit from a shithole!" Lan Qishao stated aloud again.
"You...... You ......" Ming Er's face twitched, as if he couldn't believe that Tang Lan Qishao would say obscenities.
"What? Still don't believe me, do you? Lan Qi's blue eyes turned with a strange light, pointing to the sea not far away, "Go over there and take a look, you are even dirtier and smellier than Ben Shao." ”
The second son of Ming frowned, and then really walked to the beach, took a picture of the water, seemed to be a little unbelieving at first, and when he saw it clearly, the second son jumped into the sea.
"Hahaha......" Lan Qizhi laughed out loud when he saw it.
Ming Er swam from shallow water to deep water, scrubbing from head to toe several times before returning to shore.
In the middle, Lan Qi didn't go to wash the mud and sand, but kept closing his eyes to recuperate, and only opened his eyes when Ming Er walked ashore to look at the past, his blue eyes looked up and down at Ming Ergongzi, who was soaked and reddened, and a strange smile was hooked on his lips, and he said without being salty: "Second son, you shouldn't have a clean disease, right?" ”
Ming Er didn't answer, and sat down cross-legged in front of the stone wall.
Lan Qi sat quietly on the side, observing Ming Er with blue eyes, nodding and smiling as he watched, smiling with extreme cunning.
Ming Er forced a suit of clothes to finish, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he met a pair of blue eyes full of interest, and his heart suddenly tightened.
"Second son." Lan Qi looked at him with a smile and raised his finger to point, "Isn't there a little flaw in this shell?" ”
Ming Er felt clean, and his heart was comfortable, and he smiled at the moment: "'If you don't practice etiquette, you won't stand up', but just follow your family education." ”
"Yes." Lan Qi smiled meaningfully, "Second son, look at your clothes." ”
Ming Er lowered his head, and then frowned unconsciously. The clothes that were forced to dry by internal forces were covered with a layer of fine white salt frost.
"Second son, you still have a fishy smell of seawater." Lan Qi added lightly again.
Ming Er's jade carved nose bridge is wrinkled.
Seeing this, Lan Qi's blue eyes brightened a little, and then smiled softly, "Hehe...... Ben Shao only learned today that the second son of the fairy has a clean disease, has a good face, and can't tolerate a flaw in appearance! Ha ha...... Is this your sore foot, Ben Shao caught it! ”
Ming Er raised his eyes to look at Lan Qi, who was happy, and said lightly: "We were swept away by the wind and waves, I wonder if Brother Feng is worried?" I don't know if they survived the storm. ”
So Lan Qi stopped laughing.
The two are tied again, and one person is caught in each other's hands.
However, how could Lan Qi make a truce like this, his blue eyes squinted at Ming Er, and he sneered at him, "Ben Shao just said, when I saw you in Changtian Villa that day, Ben Shao felt that it was a perfect shell, and it was very empty. ”
"Are you evil inside and out?" Ming Er leaned against the stone wall to relax his muscles, "It's just that everyone has a different way, besides, ......" turned his head to look at Lan Qi, a rare sneer on his lips, "In this world, no one has a shell on the outside. ”
"yes." Lan Qi closed his eyes and sighed, "Everyone on the outside has a beautiful shell, but inside it is dark and blurry, especially in the depths of people's hearts, there are some things that are so black that they don't even know and don't admit it." ”
Ming Er also closed his eyes, and said in a low voice, as if to himself: "Besides, if you are not the best and most perfect, how can you get the best and most perfect." The inferior will be trampled under the feet of others all their lives. ”
These words were extremely low, and they sounded a little heavy, Lan Qi couldn't help but open his eyes and turn his head to look at him, his face was calm, without a trace of emotion, but sometimes nothing represented a lot of things.
"Gollum!" The bellies of the two began to bark again.
"Oh, I'm hungry." Lan Qidao.
"With our skills, we have slept in the sea for at least three days." Ming Erdao.
It's equivalent to being hungry for three days, and it's uncomfortable, so the two of them got up to forage for food.
What is even more frustrating is that all the people on the horizon are stones, large and small, of all shapes, in a word, there are no people on this island, no green weeds and trees, no flying pheasants and hares, only hard stones.
"Second son, it must be that you have too many people in the past, so God will punish you." Lan Qi looked at the endless rocky beach and muttered.
"Isn't it because Qishao killed too many people and angered the heavens." Ming Er's gentle face also floated with weakness.
The two looked at each other and each sighed.
"What should I do?" Lan Qi asked. Turning his eyes to the sea, the water can't be drunk, the raw fish can't be eaten, is it impossible to be trapped in this stone island, and it is still a fake fairy from the inside to the outside!
"Climb high and look far away." Ming Er pointed ahead, "Maybe there will be grass and trees at the end of the side." As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Lan Qi, his gaze fell on his shoulder, and his meaning was self-evident.
Lan Qibi's eyes narrowed, hum! The fake immortal dared to step on Ben Shao's shoulders! The jade fan was put into his arms and said: "Then I will be wronged by the second son, borrow your shoulder, Ben Shao may be able to look at the grass and pheasants and hares in front of him if he stands tall." ”
The second son of Ming looked at Lan Qi's feet and threw a sentence: "It's too dirty." ”
The corners of Lan Qi's mouth twitched when he heard this, and he pointed at Ming Er and said, "Ben Shao still thinks that the second son has too much salt on his shoulders." ”
Ming Er looked at his shoulder, and his face suddenly showed disgust and disgust.
Lan Qi simply sat down on the ground, "There is another way, just bother the second son to try it, Ben Shao has no strength." As he spoke, he pointed to the stones and motioned to the second son to stack a few more pieces to be high enough.
A gust of wind blew, something was floating in the air, Ming Er reached out and grabbed it, and couldn't help laughing, "Don't look at it." ”
"Oh?" Lan Qi was puzzled.
Ming Er spread out his palm, and there was a dead leaf in his palm.
Lan Qi's blue eyes lit up, full of pure joy, the streamer turned like blue glass, Ming Er was stunned, and turned around, "Let's go." ”
There are dead leaves, there are trees, and where there are trees, there are wild fruits, wild beasts may be hidden, fires may be made, and ships and rafts may be built...... There is a possibility of everything.
The two of them walked in the direction of the wind, and the dead leaves were blowing from that side, which meant that there were trees over there, and the dead leaves could not be blown across the ocean, but could only exist on this island.
This time the two of them are walking step by step down-to-earth, rather than performing light skills, just because neither of them dares to use their true strength, you must know that at this moment it has been a few days of water and rice has not entered, and it is all protected by a real force to starve and quench thirst, and the island is so vast, I don't know how long it will take to find the location of the trees, if the real strength is exhausted, and then can no longer act, then it is really not far from death.
Of course, before leaving, the second son went to the sea water to wash again, this time he did not use internal force to force the clothes to dry, but let them dry naturally, but unfortunately, after the clothes dried, there was still a layer of fine white salt frost, which made the second son's brows wrinkle from morning to night. Lan Qi didn't go to wash it, but only said that he wanted to preserve his vitality, so that the second son stayed away from him along the way, saying that his body was too smelly. So the two had to quarrel again, but in the end, both of them stopped talking, not because they were short of words, but because they were dry and exhausted.
The two walked like this for two days and two nights, and on the third day, when the sun rose, they finally fell to the ground.
Counting from the day they fell into the sea, the two of them had not entered the water for a total of six days and six nights, if they were ordinary people, they would have already died and whimpered, they can support to this day, in addition to the strong will of the two, more importantly, they rely on a deep internal force, but after all, they are human beings, they are flesh and blood who need to be nourished by the grains in the world, no matter how deep the internal force is, there is a time when the strong essence is exhausted.
Ben Shao suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to catch a few fish in the sea that day, and it was better to eat them raw than today. Lan Qi licked his chapped lips. Before you reach a desperate situation, how can you think that when you are willing to eat fishy raw fish, there are only stones as far as the eye can see, and it is very far away from the sea, unless it takes two more days and two nights to walk back, do you have the strength?
"It's still a stone after walking for so long." Where did the second son of Ming, who had been pampered since childhood, know about eating raw fish, and only smiled bitterly, "For the first time in my life, I know what it's like to be extremely hungry." ”
The two looked at each other, without words, what thoughts the other party had in their hearts, which could no longer be understood.
Ming Er spoke first: "I've heard of people eating people before, but now I know why. ”
Lan Qi sneered when he heard this, "Ben Shao knew many years ago why people eat people. ”
That's because of extreme hunger, that's because of man's strong desire to live, that's because of man's self-interested and cruel nature! People can eat people, not to mention people kill people, what is not allowed in this world! This is the hell where one person tramples on people, kills people, and eats people!
It's like this moment...... Because each other is in a desperate situation, there is no other way!
Many years ago, on that snowy winter day, I already knew it......
The two of them leaned weakly on the stone wall, looking at each other, their sloppy eyes were cruel, but they didn't dare to act rashly.
Guard, maneuver, and resist, each other is waiting for an opportunity to hit with one blow, but the other party is equal to himself in terms of physical strength, skill, and even calculation, so ......
After weighing it again, both sides made a decision. When the two fight each other, it is difficult to have good results, rather than ending up together, it is better to fight again, or you can get a glimmer of life.
At the same time raise your wrist and look.
"It's always uncomfortable to drink your own blood." Lan Qi sighed.
Ming Er also sighed, "That's why we have to exchange." ”
Lan Qi sighed again, "How many sips?" ”
"Three mouthfuls." After Ming Er finished speaking, he grabbed Lan Qi's left wrist and bit it down. This time he didn't feel dirty and smelly, and in the face of a life crisis, everything had to bow down.
"Don't drink too much, or Ben Shao will poison you!" Lan Qi grabbed Ming Er's left wrist and bit it down.
His lips and teeth bit each other's wrists, his wrists were under the other party's lips and teeth, and the feeling at that moment was extremely strange, the skin and the lips were tightly together, there was pain, numbness, crispness, and there was an indescribable taste in my heart, which spread from the lips and wrists.
Blood was sucked from the other party's wrist into the mouth, and then from the throat and pharynx through the chest and abdomen into the stomach, for the first time in a few days and nights, something entered the stomach, and at that moment, the body seemed to have recovered some strength at the same time, at least in my heart.
Three mouthfuls into the stomach, it was only a while, the two of them got up at the same time and looked up, each of them still had a touch of red on their lips, looking into each other's eyes, there was an urge to go up and bite into the belly, but don't get me wrong, that's just because it looks like some kind of red fruit that is ripe, and it is of course a temptation for hungry people.
"It's dirty." Ming Er said with a disgusted face.
"It stinks." Lan Qi also said with disgust.
In fact, I was so hungry that I was numb, where could I tell what it was, but I was born with an opponent who didn't degrade the other party, and I would feel uncomfortable.
The two rested for a while, drank the blood of their rivals, felt happy, and recovered a few points of strength, and then returned to the road.
Lang Ri was at the head, staggering on the stone, just kept walking, kept walking, and drank each other's blood when he couldn't support it, and so walked for two days, when the hungry and dizzy two people finally looked at a touch of green, the two did not have a trace of ecstasy, just completely relieved, and then fell to the ground.
