Chapter 62 Chapter Sixteen

Tanabata. The school organized a summer trip, only for students who are about to enter the second year of high school. The destination is a nearby island, which is also a resort.On the way to the pier, Xiaozhi encountered an anti-Japanese parade, all of which had signs saying "Defend the Diaoyu Islands". The taxi was trapped and could not move, so it simply turned off its engine and stopped at a crowded intersection.A young man with the appearance of a college student posted a slogan boycotting Japanese goods on the car window.But she thought of Teacher Shen Ming seventeen years ago, who would occasionally be filled with righteous indignation when talking about modern Chinese history, and one day she led everyone to sing "Blood-stained Grace" at the class meeting.

She rushed onto the pier at the last minute. On the hottest day in 2012, more than 100 people in four classes of the whole grade, including the head teacher and the main teacher, boarded the tourist ship.The students need to pay their own expenses for this trip, but they don’t feel like spending their parents’ money. They chatted excitedly and shared their travel experiences—some just came back from independent travel in Taiwan, some went to Hong Kong Disneyland every summer, and some even followed Parents have traveled around Europe. Xiao Zhi stood at the stern of the boat away from the crowd, looking at Si Wang who was tens of meters away. He leaned on the railing to look at the surging river.Countless seagulls were flying around, and the salty air was everywhere. He stretched out his hands and closed his eyes, but the whispers of his classmates sounded behind him: "Psychopathy!"

Si Wang threw away his classmates and came to the side of Xiaozhi, who was self-pitying. His face was so handsome under the sun, which instantly made the female teacher feel the ruthlessness of time. "Is this the first time you've seen the sea?" She inadvertently asked, but her eyes were fixed on the muddy water. "Yeah, I'm like a frog at the bottom of a well. I haven't left this city for seventeen years, and I don't feel any regrets—maybe, the meaning of traveling is just to add another life to myself in the mediocre life. I, who retain the memory of my previous life, have lived twice the life of an ordinary person, which is equivalent to a long journey in time."

For such inexplicable and mysterious words, Xiaozhi was a little disgusted, turned her head and left without saying a word. A few hours later, the passenger ship docked at the island.This is a small island full of fishing villages, with majestic mountains and silver-white beaches. Teachers and students live in fishermen's farmhouses.The class teacher Zhang Mingsong led the team. This photographer was constantly shooting with a SLR camera. Almost every student was photographed by him, except Si Wang. Teacher An, who teaches politics, is like a fly, always staring at Ouyang Xiaozhi, and out of politeness and politeness, she talks one after another.She rarely wore a colorful skirt, and the sea breeze blew the skirt to reveal her snow-white slender legs. The boys peeked from a distance, and the girls showed jealous eyes.

There are only a few tourism items on the island. Regardless of whether they can swim or not, the students all brought their swimsuits to the sea.Si Wang's body and muscles after training are the most dazzling in the sun and on the beach, making Xiaopang Dun and Huang Dou sprouts feel ashamed, and even the girls in the next class came to say hello.He rejected them indifferently, picked up shells on the beach alone, and put the conch, which is said to be able to collect the sound of waves, to his ears.Xiaozhi didn't even bring her swimsuit, and just sat and chatted with a few female teachers. Many people felt that they were wasteful.

The evening breeze on the island is cool, sweeping away the day In the heat of summer, many people had diarrhea after eating seafood, including Zhang Mingsong and Mr. An, most of them stayed indoors, or got together to play Three Kingdoms Killing. Twigs hardly ate anything, and boldly walked in the fishing village, picking corners that were rarely visited by people, and drilled from the lush trees to the seashore. There is a bright moon on the sea. This scene was unforgettable for the rest of her life. She almost collapsed on the beach, looking up at the almost golden full moon between the blue-gray sea and sky.

Suddenly, someone grabbed her waist from behind, Xiaozhi screamed and broke free, and another hand touched her.She fought back with all her might, and it turned out to be a beach thug who didn't look like a local fisherman either. "Let her go!" A boy ran out from the bushes, the moonlight illuminated Si Wang's face, and Xiaozhi rushed to his side: "Help me!" There are four men on the other side, so let him not meddle in his own business.Si Wang approached the opponent without saying a word, and directly punched him to the ground.Every muscle in him felt like it was going to explode, and after a few muay thai moves, those bastards were splattered with blood.Xiaozhi was worried that he would suffer by himself, so he shouted for help, but the beach was empty after nightfall, and the sound of high tide covered the shouting.

Five minutes later, two men were lying on the ground, and the other two guys ran away stumbling around. Si Wang took her hand: "Run!" She was sure those villains had gone to call helpers, who knew how many people would show up later? In the dark night, the sea breeze hits, and the hair and dress are raised, like a group of flowers blooming on the sea.After a few steps, she couldn't run anymore, Si Wang almost dragged her up a hill, her wrist became hot for the first time. Finally, I rushed to the other side of the island, the unopened wild beach, no one would chase here. The moonlight chased the shadow, and the sea rose little by little. The naughty white foam covered the bare feet of the two and wet her skirt.His forehead and arms were still bleeding, dripping continuously onto the sandy beach under his feet, but he still stood erect in front of her.

She panted heavily with her head down, and mumbled, "Thank you!" "Why do you have to come out alone?" "It's too stuffy in the house, I want to listen to the sound of the sea alone." "Listen to the sound of the sea?" "Yeah, I've heard it." Xiaozhi closed her eyes and listened attentively, Si Wang was approaching her, and a few centimeters further forward, she could kiss her lips. Suddenly, she took half a step back and wiped his wound: "Si Wang, listen to the teacher, you don't want to fight anymore." The slender fingers brushed across the boy's forehead, which was covered with seventeen-year-old blood, and it was as hot as a hand.Under the moonlight at sea, her face also glowed dizzyingly.

"Flowers can be broken when they bloom, don't wait until there are no flowers to break the branches." Si Wang read these two sentences softly, but she remembered that it was 1995, on that spring night when fireflies were flying, she was walking with teacher Shen Ming in the wilderness of Nanming Road, reciting Du Qiuniang's "Golden Thread Clothes" softly.At that time, Ouyang Xiaozhi was frowning all day long, and there was a new round of gossip in the school. The girls bit their ears during their lunch break, and the boys heard it when they were eating in the cafeteria. Ouyang Xiaozhi's father was not a martyr at all. Fighting against the Vietnamese on the front line of the mountain, I became a deserter and was shot by the division commander. The so-called honor of a martyr is bought with money.And her mother, as a widow, often seduces men outside...

Xiaozhi is not good at talking and speaking, so she rarely talks to those eight wives, so naturally she can't argue with her.Even if she showed her father's martyr certificate to everyone, some people would say it was fake.Except for Liu Man at the same table, no girl in the class played with her. The boys were always courteous, but her responses were always so indifferent. Originally, she was also studying in a key high school, but the environment in the urban area is complicated, and there are often hooligans waiting for her at the door, and even fight with each other.The school became a place of right and wrong, causing parents to complain, hoping that the girl would leave as soon as possible, and one of them was actually a city leader.Under pressure from above, the school complied with these excessive requirements. Xiaozhi was sent to Nanming High School in the wilderness to avoid the hooligans in the urban area... There are always gossips around pretty girls, just like "flies don't stare at seamless girls." Eggs" is an insult. All the mouths make gold, and the accumulation destroys the bones. On August 23, 2012, the seventh day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, on an isolated island surrounded by the sea, Ouyang Xiaozhi's vision was blurred by the sea sand, and she reached out to cover the wrinkles in the corners of her eyes: "Sorry, I'm a little dazed—you're not him. " The wind messed up her hair, and she turned her head to prevent her students from seeing the tears. Si Wang stretched out his hand, and after the fight, bleeding, his warm hand stroked her cheek, and let her turn in front of him. The bloodstains on her fingertips were still wet, and a few spots were smeared on her cheeks, and it felt like plum blossoms were better than snow. "Xiaozhi, look at me." The waves were crying, and the tears slipped into the beauty's lips. She approached the boy's ear and blew like blue: "Send me back. If anyone asks about the injury on your head, just say it was cut by a tree branch." After lingering for a long time, Si Wang's fingertips slipped from her face, helping her to wipe away the blood. That night, Xiaozhi slept in the same room with the female teachers, listening to the sound of the waves outside the window, and said silently: "He is dead..."
