Chapter 31: Island Couples and Daming Pen Holder (3)
On this day, he woke up on a wooden bed covered with leaves, looked at the wooden house, and felt happy. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info he put on his clothes and walked barefoot to the door, ready to put on his shoes. Xiuzi, who was carrying water, hurriedly ran over, knelt in front of the door, picked up her shoes and said, "The slave family is waiting for the husband to put on shoes." Nangong Yu hurriedly said: "I can wear it myself." Xiuzi smiled: "In our Dongying, the husband is the heaven of the family, and it is the responsibility of us women to serve the husband." Nangong Yu looked at the woman in front of her who was wearing shoes for herself, and couldn't believe that she was the ninja Xiuzi who killed people without blinking.
At noon, Nangong Yu walked back with fresh fish, crabs and shells, and saw that Xiuzi had chopped a pile of dry firewood, and the water tank was also full, and he was holding a branch to build a fence in front of the house, and saw Nangong Yu stepped forward and said, "Husband, you have worked hard, let me cook." Nangong Yu handed over the things to her with a smile and said, "You also work hard." ”
After the two finished eating, they were idle, sitting in the small courtyard to discuss martial arts, Hideko said that his "phantom body method" is a kind of ninja doppelganger technique, which is a virtual image created at a super fast speed, and Nangong Yu's "Flower Field Drunken Moon Step" is better, it is a combination of speed, skill and skill, and the practicality is richer. Nangong Yu asked, "Your Oda family is the high gate of Dongying, why do you want to become a ninja?"
Hideko smiled: "I'm an idle person, it's strange if I sit at home every day and don't suffocate to death." My uncles said that it would be nice for me to be a man, and that I could revive the honor of our Oda family. Nangong Yu said: "Don't you have an elder brother, they should take on the responsibility of the Oda family." Oda Hideko snorted lightly and said disdainfully: "My elder brothers are useless, and Brother Nobuo had the opportunity to become the leader of Toei, but he was indecisive and missed the opportunity, so he gave the country to Toyotomi Hideyoshi." Although Toyotomi Hideyoshi ruled the East and ended the Warring States period, his great cause was built on the foundation of my father. It is rumored that Toyotomi Hideyoshi was behind the change in Honnoji, and if my father hadn't been murdered, the current Toei must have been a different scene. ”
Nangong Yu said: "Although I haven't been in Kyoto for a long time, I think Tokugawa Hidetada is a character. Hideko said: "Yes, his father, Tokugawa Ieyasu, is very deep in the castle government, good at trolling, and is a powerful person who is not inferior to my father and Toyotomi Hideyoshi." At that time, the Tokugawa and Toyotomi families were at war, and the Tokugawa family still had an advantage for a while, if it weren't for my useless Nobuo brother's lack of determination and early rebellion, maybe Toyotomi Hideyoshi would have lost to the Tokugawa family. ”
Then Xiuzi asked Nangong Yu about the origin of the golden dragon on his chest, Nangong Yu said it like a story, Xiuzi listened to it with relish, and said: "Middle Earth is really wonderful, husband, you are a hidden dragon in the world, sooner or later there will be a day when the sea will break through and the clouds will rise." Nangong Yu smiled bitterly: "Don't say 'breaking the sea and soaring clouds', it's good to be able to go to sea now." Xiuzi said: "Does the husband really want to go back to Middle-earth?" Nangong Yu smiled: "My wife and children are in Middle-earth." Hideko nodded silently and said, "As far as I know, the direction of the tide sometimes changes with the season, as long as the husband pays attention to the change of the tide, he can go back one day." ”
Nangong Yu saw her thoughts, and said, "When the time comes, you will go back with me, okay?" Xiuzi smiled bitterly and said, "Can the husband consider going back to Dongying with me? As long as you have my guarantee, no one will trouble you again." Nangong Yu shook his head and said, "I won't go back." Xiuzi said: "Why? The husband seems to hate us Dongying people." Nangong Yu sighed and recounted what she had seen and heard in the slave camp that night, Xiuzi sighed and said, "No wonder the husband started to challenge the Kyoto Dojo on the second day, it turns out that you want to avenge those slaves." Nangong Yu said: "I just want to prove that my Chinese sons and daughters are not cowards." Xiuzi sighed: "The war is cruel, didn't you burn and loot you in the Northern Song Dynasty, even the emperor's father and son were arrested in the north, and the shame suffered was not worse than now." ”
Nangong Yu said: "Those are two different things, the Jin Kingdom has long ceased to exist, and the north is also a part of my Ming Dynasty, while Dongying is a foreign race to us, which is related to the hatred of the nation." Then there was a moment of silence, and the atmosphere became awkward, and there was a feeling of awakening from a sweet dream. The outside world remains the same, and their dreams can only be realized on the island.
In the days to come, they all had a tacit understanding not to talk about the affairs of the two countries, and the days were sweet and warm, and they gradually got used to it, immersed in sweet dreams, and were willing to get drunk rather than wake up.
In the blink of an eye, it was early winter, the cold wind was bleak, and the ground was yellow. Nangong Yu, who had gone out fishing on this day, ran back excitedly, and said excitedly: "The tide has changed! The tide has changed!" pulled Xiuzi to the beach, and sure enough, he saw that the tide had changed from east to west, Nangong Yu looked at the sea from afar, and said excitedly: "We have to hurry up and make a raft, we can go back!" Xiuzi barely squeezed out a smile, but a gloomy color flashed in her eyes.
In the next few days, Nangong Yu worked day and night to make the raft, and it was completed in five days. The withered yellow branches are more brittle and tender, and they are not yet strong on the raft, but Nangong Yu's heart is full of hope, after all, it is going downstream, and there is no need to even paddle, if you are lucky, you will be able to see the land of Daming in a few days.
Hideko didn't say anything, just silently helped. After getting married, she was gentle and obedient and supported any decision made by her husband, and this time was no exception.
After the raft was ready, they prepared food and drink, and on this day they returned to the west on the raft. It is really easy to go down the river, and you can float far away when you speak, and you can return to Daming in three days at most at this speed.
But God didn't let Nangong Yu wish, and in the afternoon, the branches were broken by the sea, and the raft was washed away. Nangong Yu wanted to cry without tears, so she had to swim with Xiuzi holding the same wood and swimming all the way. Fortunately, the raft broke down early this time, and the two of them still had the physical strength to come back against the current, and if it broke down after a day, it would be a dilemma.
In the evening, they returned to the island exhausted. In the next few days, Nangong Yu was depressed and silent. Hideko was a lot more cheerful, and she couldn't stop relieving his boredom. Nangong Yu didn't dare to try to cross the sea easily, he only hated that there was no rope here to fix the raft. After another period of time, in winter, he gradually let go and returned to the life of dreams.
Although it doesn't snow on the sea, the sea breeze is still biting, they have no cotton clothes and no quilts, although Nangong Yu is not afraid of the cold, but Xiuzi is a normal person, shivering when she sleeps at night. Whenever this happens, Nangong Yu uses the fire dragon true qi to warm her body and help her fall asleep. In addition, Nangong Yu also dug a big pit in the ground, made a large wooden barrel and put it in the pit, led the hot spring water in, and soaked in the hot spring with Hideko to help her ward off the cold.
After the winter, the tide changes back to east to west at the beginning of spring, and it seems that only in winter does it have the opportunity to return to the west. In the next few months, Nangong Yu was not in a hurry to make a raft, and continued to live a peaceful and comfortable life with Hideko. During the day, they fished, chatted, practiced martial arts, did housework, walked hand in hand on the island, listened to the sound of the waves at night, indulged in the moonlit beach, and sometimes sat naked on the edge of the hot springs, scrubbing each other's bodies, as if they had become one with nature.
At this time, Nangong Yu's face was also covered with beards, and he looked like he was ten years old, and he didn't bother to shave, so he kept it like this.
Happy days are always very short, in the blink of an eye it is autumn again, and in another two months, it will be time for the tide to change, Nangong Yu's gloomy clouds are piled up again, and he worries about the difficulty of fixing the raft all day long, and the words are gradually decreasing. Hideko had hinted that even if he couldn't go back a few times, he would be very happy living on the island, but Nangong Yu just smiled and still pondered the plan to return to the west.
On this day, Xiuzi saw him leaning against the big tree, looking at the dead leaves on the tree in a daze, sighed, sat down beside him, and said, "Husband, please tell me the truth, do you really want to return to the Ming Dynasty?" Nangong Yu nodded silently. Xiuzi bit her lip, couldn't bear to look at his embarrassed appearance, and reminded: "The husband is ingenious, and he can even make a house, let alone a ship." ”
