Chapter 191: Passenger Ship Adventure

Conan looked at the mountain walls on both sides, like chopped by a knife and axe. Only the Creator had this ability. After a long period of wind and rain, the cliff stood on the river bank and looked majestic and towering. At first glance, it seemed that the mountains on both sides were about to fall together, and the huge axe fell from the sky, splitting a complete huge rock, leaving only a waterway, allowing passenger ships like small paper boats to shuttle through it. Li Bai's apes on both sides could not stop crying, and the light boats had already passed thousands of mountains. It was a description of this place, of course, a bit exaggerated, and I had never heard of the apes on both sides. There was only the cry of owls, as if there were unknown wild birds. Maybe it was a nightingale, the nightingale, and it was not clear, and it was not clear, and it only felt fun. People were sitting on the boat, like walking in a painting.

The child gradually fell asleep. Conan did not take a passenger ship. After two years in Guizhou, he saw all the passenger ships coming and going on the river. Instead, he felt that the passenger ships traveling from the river were just a scenery in the Guizhou Yangtze River section. Because Guizhou City was built along the banks of the Yangtze River, the passenger ship passed by, whistle sounded, and the sound echoed in the valley. The feeling was so heartwarming and very atmospheric. Even at the bend, whether from going to going to the water to the water, or from going to the water to the water, the boat passed by Guizhou, and still had to yell twice.

The first floor of the ship is basically the grassroots level, and it may be the lowest price of ship tickets. In other words, there are many people who buy third-class tickets for civilians. Of course, the tickets are cheaper. The higher the go, the more expensive it is, the fewer people are. When working from Chongqing, the cheapest means of transportation is the ship. There are also cars, the eighteen bends of mountain roads, which are not very convenient, and it makes people dizzy. When riding such a ship, you probably have to endure the trouble of passing the Three Gorges.

Conan met a foreigner on the deck.

Conan's English level is not good, especially speaking, and he can speak, but there are still problems with listening. He doesn't know what's going on. He has been learning English for many years, but he can't improve his listening skills. He doesn't know where the English he learned goes from junior high school to high school. It may also be taught by a geography teacher or a chemistry teacher. In short, he is not very serious. Even if he looks good, he cannot be regarded as a food unless he has a close friend.

Conan is very good at learning and is always looking for the best ways to improve his language learning, including listening to radio programs. He should listen to programs that are broadcast in English or taught on radio stations. The purpose is only one, which is to pass the English subject exams and improve his oral English skills, especially his ability to dictate.

In fact, when Conan chooses the subjects for the exam, he has to see if there is anything that is easy to pass. For example, you can think of it without using your brain. It mainly depends on your attitude. If you have a good attitude, you will get a make-up exam if you have a bad attitude. If you pay the make-up exam, you will be honest. If you pass the make-up exam once, you will be considered as passing the make-up exam, and the teachers and schools will no longer be embarrassed.

Also, English has become a must-take the subject. First, because English is widely used, it has become the official language of almost 80% of regions and countries. Second, English can make many people honest and not think about random things. If they can't learn English well, they will talk about politics? Third, English is composed of letters. People who are not used to using symbols or are not sensitive to symbols are chewing wax. It is very obscure and difficult to understand, and they have no interest, and are purely to cope with the exam. After the exam, they throw it away and have no interest in picking it up. Over time, English has become a kind of glory that was once, or a capital to show off. After all, they also understand some English. They don't look at their appearance, but they will look at it when they enter the examination room to check their identities, which is probably the same. As long as they look the same, they don't have much difference. Exams are not beauty pageants, so why bother worrying about appearance? If the exam is beauty pageants, Ji Conan will pass every exam.

The foreigner Conan met on the deck was a middle-aged man from Australia. He brought his son to visit the Three Gorges. Strangely, he did not follow the tour group, but instead he was a father and son.

He said: "He doesn't like to follow tour groups. He has followed them before. In his impression, the tour group is a shopping guide group, asking him to buy things, not to see the scenery."

"You are right. I think they want to make money. If they want to make money, they will not have the heart to see the scenery." Ji Conan said.

"Yes, yes, that's the case." The foreigner gave a thumbs up to praise Conan Ji.

"If you violate the purpose, you can no longer sell dog meat with the title of sheep. However, the philanthropy and odor of money in the tour group are still strong," said Ji Conan.

"I don't understand this." The foreigner asked in confusion.

"That is to say, travel is a pain to spend money on your money. Isn't it good to be at home? Why would you rather give money to a tourist area? Or a travel agency, it's hard for them. Why do you still have to sprinkle salt on your wounds?" Ji Conan asked.

"Why?" asked the foreigner.

"There has not reduced the desire for shopping guides in the tour group. Besides, the tour group guides see whether the tourists' wallets are bulging, and whether the tourists are generous and whether they are easy to get caught. They are just money-spending machines. Looking at the scenery, they just look at their backyard. They are used to being numb, numbness leads to ignorance. Ignorance means losing conscience. Buying a lot of garbage to go home, tourists are fooled, tour guides make money, hawkers make money. In the end, tourists are fooled, and anyone can make money, except tourists." Ji Conan replied.

The foreigner is very happy to meet someone who understands his words.

Conan was chatting with him on the deck, and the people around him who were watching the scenery were chattering and chatting, using dialects, and some Conan could understand it. Some passengers thought Conan was a good tour guide and gave him a thumbs up. Conan was very happy.

This passenger ship is not a tourist ship, but it is a common means of transportation, but the place we pass by happens to be the Three Gorges Tourist Area. The tourist ship is also a slow boat, with a little pink color and some fat fragrance. The others are similar. The power system of the ship is still a diesel engine, and the ship relies on the rudder to adjust the direction. The people on the ship have different purposes, one is to find money and the other is to spend money.

After chatting with the foreigner for a while, Conan went back to his room and told his wife. His wife was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the head of the agency was not around and the acquaintances were not around. Conan could actually talk to the foreigner. Could it be that he would be completely relaxed and he would be free of obstacles? In the past, the person in charge communicated with the foreigner. Conan was stunned by the side. Listening to the conversation was like playing the piano for a cow. It was probably because he was under too much pressure, his ears were not sensitive and his head was buzzing. He couldn't hear what he said at all, how could he understand it?

She said: "Husband, you are amazing."

Conan said: "Nothing!"

"Wife, look, listen to me, foreigners are also humans and need communication. Maybe he thinks my English is bad and bad, but he can be forgiven and tolerant. After all, it is not a mother tongue, but it is just a language to learn. Learning a mother tongue is simple, but the environment makes it difficult to learn a foreign language, and there is no environment to grow. And language requires constant training." Ji Conan said.

"I don't understand what you said very much. However, if you can talk to foreigners, just like talking to us, it proves that you are still very awesome." His wife said with a smile.

After hearing this, Ji Conan became even more proud and said without hesitation: "Foreigners also have to pass the time. On this boat, they saw so many people, but there were actually not many people. They were divided into grades. More than half of them lived in third-class cabins, followed by second-class first-class people. There are fewer and fewer people in third-class cabins. People in third-class cabins cannot rule out that there are those who can speak English. If they can, they cannot come here. They can't see foreigners and communicate. Do you think so?"

"That's not!" said his wife.

"I share these experiences with him, and that without the head of the organization, I can relax and give full play to my role, mobilize my abilities, and reach a new level. Do you think so?" said Conan Ji.

His wife nodded and looked down at her phone.

The noise of playing cards next to him faintly passed through the wall and arrived at Conan's side. The child fell asleep as the boat was moving smoothly and the roar of the machines on the boat. Conan looked at his wife's beautiful face and felt itchy. He had less clothes to wear in summer. Conan said: "I need to wash my body with oil and sweat, so I'll go and wash it first."

His wife said, "Look at the child and roll carefully from the bed. I'll wash it first."

Conan didn't snatch his wife, and the bathhouse was in the house. It could wash it any time and take as long as you want. The resources were abundant. These hot water were all water pumped from the Yangtze River, which was heated by the waste heat of the machine. It was very rich. As long as you want, you could wash it from a small town to Yiling. There was no problem. As long as the passenger ship was traveling, there was hot water supply.

The boat was surfing in the middle of the river, very quiet, with road signs next to it, flashing red light. It was dark, and the searchlights were illuminated forward and left and right. There was nothing visible at the stern of the boat except the navigation lights. The mountain was very quiet and very dark, like a coal mountain, and there was no sign of people's houses. The mountain was very steep, and those houses would not build houses in such steep places.

As long as there is a little bit of a gentle place, there will be houses. Living on the side of the Three Gorges, it is almost isolated from the world, and it is not easy to enter and exit.

In the canyon, it is not airtight, and the electric fans in the cabin can no longer meet the needs. Conan's warehouse has air conditioning, but he doesn't want to stay in a small space for a long time, where the air is not very good. It's better to go outside to get some air.

The foreigner took his children back to his room to rest. It was already 11 o'clock in the evening. Except for those who were afraid of heat and those who wanted to see the Three Gorges Dam, they all went back to their room.

At 12 o'clock, the boat gradually approached the Three Gorges Dam. Conan stopped the air conditioner. At this time, it was not too hot. Conan took the opportunity to do it with his wife. It was very relaxed. The vibration of the motor of the ship could also make fun of it. After washing, Conan took a shower again.

Then turn outside the cabin and see that the passenger ship is tied to the giant pillar on the dam. There are some iron rings on the giant pillar. A set of cables can fix the hull. The ship will not be shaken too far by the huge waves caused by the passing ships.

At this moment, someone said that the boat entered the lock.

Conan ran to the bow to see.

Sure enough, the first gate slowly rose, and the passenger ship entered the first lock with the ship in front. About one lock could accommodate six ships. Then, the gate at the stern was slowly closed, the gate at the bow began to rise, and the hull began to descend significantly. About an hour later, the passenger ship finally completed a lock.

Conan saw that when the hull descended, it was getting farther and farther away from it. He looked up at the dark sky, and it seemed like he had fallen into a well. Conan didn't know that such a boat was designed to climb stairs so cleverly, and it was quite a bit of brainstorm.

When Conan saw the garbage that was rising in the water, he felt scared. How could the garbage enter the lock? It was so strange! There are many things floating on the water, and everything. The most common ones are plastic supplies, as well as foam, aquatic plants, wooden sticks, wood, etc. The most common ones are domestic garbage, and I don’t know where it comes from. The ability of these garbage to enter the lock proves that there is too much garbage outside.

Conan clearly remembers that once it rains, there will be a lot of garbage on the river surface, and there will be too many floating flowers.

No wonder the mountain is very clean, because the garbage on the mountain is washed into the ditch by rain, to the stream, to the river, and finally to the Yangtze River.

The Yangtze River was cut off by the Three Gorges Dam, the dam was intercepted, the water was blocked, and the garbage did not run away. In this way, the entire upper reaches of the Three Gorges became a huge garbage dump, and the entire garbage dump needed to be cleaned frequently. However, even if it was cleaned frequently, there would be many things that could not be removed in time.

When the boat passed the final lock, Conan had already returned to his room to sleep, which was so uncomfortable. No wonder people were willing to spend more money on the Clippers? When the boat passed the lock, it seemed that it had experienced a test of life and death, or a death journey.

It was really unpleasant to feel like being in the deep well. If someone threw a deadly weapon from it, the whole ship would be ruined.

When Conan woke up from his sleep, he felt that the ship had accelerated, very smooth and very fast, like a wild horse that had broken away from his reins. In any case, it was much more comfortable than sleeping in the lock just now.

It seemed that it was getting dark. Conan looked at his wife and children, and he turned over and fell asleep again.

When I woke up again, the boat entered another lock, which was the Gezhouba lock. It was only one level. The structure was similar to the Three Gorges Dam lock, but the pebbles seemed to have been knocked off by the hull, leaving some scratches on it.

It is not too far from the ground. People who exercise early, wearing shorts, are running along the river bank. On a fresh morning, the fish belly white appears in the east, and it seems that the sun is about to come out.

Conan was determined not to take a slow boat again, but he was very nostalgic about the beautiful scenery of Xiling Gorge. He quickly took out his camera and took a few photos in succession.

I don’t know how effective the washing is, but it’s a point-and-shoot camera anyway. If you don’t take a good photo, there’s nothing you can do. It’s either that the technology is not good or the camera is not good.

The boat left Gezhouba and entered Yiling city area. When they arrived at Yiling Port, people began to walk out. There were large and small bags, suitcases, luggage bags, back bags, and shouting, which were very lively. Some shoulder pole workers, big and thick, carried bamboo tubes, and ropes hung at the end of the bamboo tube to fix the luggage.
