Chapter 239 The end of the road, the end of the land
"Yes, yes."
"Looks like I love you very much."
"It's okay." Vicki said awkwardly.
This phone call completely shattered Han Qi's thoughts, and the subsequent chat became much more serious.
By the time Vicki went back after dinner, Kristina had already woken up. She was sitting on the bed holding a cup, her expression looked like a hangover, her blond hair was untied and scattered messily.
His eyes are also rather distracted.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Vicki asked.
"No, I'm sorry you won't come back tonight."
Vicki was so embarrassed that she said in a panic: "What are you talking about? I just went out for a meal and of course I have to come back to stay. Besides, Han Qi is not as bad as you think?"
Kristina's voice was hoarse and she laughed: "Hey, what do you mean it's not as bad as I thought? He liked you from the beginning, I can see it."
She yawned and shook her drunken brain.
"Ah, what happened before? My head hurts and my stomach feels uncomfortable."
Vicki poured her a cup of hot water, her heart still pounding. Before this night, she thought she liked a steady, honest, down-to-earth man like her fiancé. But today he found that people who know how to be romantic also
very good.
Han Qi actually fell asleep after dinner and returned to the hotel, and the quality of her sleep was pretty good.
Although I drank a lot of wine today, whether it was champagne drank in the gallery or red wine drank out for dinner, the alcohol content was not very high. Besides, wine at this price is not as dizzying as fake wine blended with industrial alcohol.
Brain swelling.
A dreamless night.
After waking up, Han Qi no longer stayed in St. Ives. He said goodbye to some people he knew and drove towards the edge of Britain.
When tourists come to Cornwall, there are two places they must visit, one of which is Lands End and the other is Minack Theatre.
This is what the local old man in St. Ives told Han Qi.
She said that although these two places are now very commercialized, Lands End is still a beautiful place to create memories in Cornwall because of the sea, sea breeze and wild flowers everywhere.
Traveling is, of course, about creating beautiful memories for yourself.
So Han Qi drove over.
St. Ives is already on the edge of Cornwall, while Lands End is more remote. As I said before, the whole of Britain is likened to a seahorse, and Lands End is at the tip of the seahorse's tail. If we use Chinese
To express it in a way, then this place is undoubtedly the legendary end of the world.
The closer you get to Lands End, the flatter the terrain becomes.
Before seeing the sea, Han Qi first saw a patch of heather that looked like the sea. It was red-leaf heather, with some red flowers and green grass occasionally mixed in, making the place look particularly wild and energetic.
Han Qi stopped to take photos.
Someone moved faster than Han Qi and had already walked inside the heather. Judging from the equipment, he must be a walking grandmother.
In the UK, when Han Qi traveled, he saw more old people than young people.
Younger people like Vicki Kristina and others just come to a city to travel, but when they go out of the city and go outdoors, the travelers become elderly people over fifty years old. The person in front of Han Qi's camera
Standing with his back to Han Qi, thirty meters away.
Wearing professional equipment and holding the shoulder straps of her travel backpack with both hands, she walked into the grass alone and suddenly stopped, as if looking at something in the distance.
This scene was photographed by Han Qi.
Han Qi felt an adventurer's temperament in her. It seemed that as long as he followed her footsteps, he could enter Lands End from another road and see a place different from the rumors, a different end of the world.
Um……
But now that you’re here, let’s take a look at the scenic spot first.
I got in the car again, stepped on the accelerator, and the car roared forward.
After a long period of running-in, Han Qi has come to like the driving habit of right-hand drive cars. The traffic rules for drivers are similar. As long as the customer overcomes the psychological obstacles, he can easily drive a car in the UK for a self-driving trip.
Looking at the buildings on both sides, Han Qi parked the car in the parking lot of the attraction.
Unlike other small towns in the UK, Lands End has been built into an orderly tourist village.
All the houses here are uniformly painted white. Inside the houses, sellers sell similar souvenirs, as well as experiential games specially prepared for tourists. You can even see a food stall in a small pavilion on the roadside.
Microwave snack snacks.
Han Qi ordered a hot dog and walked around while eating.
This place looks like a Chinese tourist town. If you don’t look at the fair-skinned locals and tourists around, this place is a replica of a domestic tourist destination. The prices are also very affordable, several times higher than those in the outside world.
It turns out that as long as it is a tourist destination, there will be such random prices.
However, Han Qi could still see that this place was originally intended to be a boutique tourist town, but there were too many such towns in China.
Perhaps all carefully crafted tourist destinations cannot escape the fate of losing their human touch.
As I walked faster through this place, the sound of the waves became louder and louder, and suddenly the sea appeared in front of me.
No matter how noisy or quiet a city is, as long as it has the sea, the sea will always be so simple and pure blue.
The further we go, the stronger the sea wind becomes. Standing on the shore of the howling wind, the sea wind unreasonably ruffles everyone's hair and shakes everyone's footsteps, but it is also gentle, and it will bring you a leisurely summer.
The coolness takes away the heat from the body.
Seagulls are the only animals on the coast that are not affected by the sea.
They are taking advantage of the wind of the sea to fly higher and higher, rising and landing on the sea surface in a zigzag route. And they are not afraid of people. Many tourists hold bread in their hands and hold it high in order to feed them. The seagulls
Whenever he sees it, he will come down and take the bread away.
Han Qi became a machine that only knew how to take pictures, constantly pressing the shutter button.
He felt that even the wild flowers growing on the beach were so beautiful, but in fact there were no particularly precious varieties, just what Han Qi knew about the flowers. But as long as they grew in such a place, Han Qi would have
The urge to take pictures with a camera.
After all, their free-growing posture is always so beautiful and special.
"Mr. Han Qi?"
Suddenly someone called his name.
Han Qi turned around and saw a man and a woman. They should be lovers. The man who called Han Qi's name was the man.
Han Qi also has social accounts abroad. Wang Zheng has been managing the videos on YouTube, and his name is hanqi. Also at Dell Gallery, his name is also hanqi, so many foreign fans see Han Qi.
After Qi, they would shout the word Han Qi with a weird accent.
But he was already satisfied, at least he could understand.
"Hello, who are you?"
"Is it really you? I am a student at the Kas School of Art, Architecture and Design. I went to Norway to participate in the building you designed, and the painting in the Bergen Gallery. Oh my God, it is so beautiful. I am you
Fans of you have always followed your videos on YouTube.”
"Oh, hello, hello."
Han Qi shook hands with him enthusiastically.
In fact, he didn't hear clearly what college it was. He went around and around, but it couldn't be the London Academy of Fine Arts anyway.
But I went to Norway specifically to see the Chinese Pavilion and also went to the Bergen Gallery to see the paintings, so I am a loyal fan.
Han Qi doesn't mind being in close contact with fans, but he is afraid that too many people will cause chaos if he cannot manage them. Therefore, it is most comfortable to have one or two fans at the scene. You can chat casually without worrying about being suddenly surrounded.
live.
"Are you here for a trip?"
"That's right, it happens to be a holiday, so we come here to sketch. By the way, we are all studying oil painting."
The girl didn't speak. Han Qi thought she didn't know him very well, but he didn't expect that the surprise came so quickly. He had been in a state of confusion from the moment he saw Han Qi. After a long time, he waited for Han Qi and her boyfriend to come together.
After chatting for several minutes, my friend happily asked to take a photo with Han Qi.
Han Qi set up his camera, took a photo with them, and asked, "Can I send the photo tonight?"
“Twitter?”
"No, I don't have any control over Twitter. What I posted was on China's domestic communication platform, called Weibo."
The male fan suddenly realized: "No wonder you seldom update your Twitter."
After all, people’s experience is limited. The studio was not ready before, and there was no second person to help manage many accounts. Of course, Han Qi didn’t have time to do everything by herself. But now it’s better, as long as she posts on Weibo
The news, as long as Han Qi has no special instructions, the studio will translate it to Twitter.
We chatted with them for half an hour before we separated.
It has been two days since the young couple came to Lands End. They have been to many attractions here and also recommended two places to Han Qi.
One of the places is on the edge of the shore, with a special sign on the stone.
Speaking of special, Han Qi has not found anything special about Lands End so far. Although the scenery has made Han Qi linger on, it will not become the end of the world in the eyes of the British.
However, people can always make an ordinary thing special through packaging, such as this sign.
This is what Lands End is most famous for.
There are three fixed places on the sign, and the remaining place can be changed at will. As long as you pay a small fee, the staff here will change this place to the name of your hometown, and then take a photo for you and place it on the sign.
After washing, it will be sent to you by express.
This small fee is actually not that small, it costs twenty pounds.
A photo costs twenty pounds, which is unimaginable in places like the UK, but many people are willing to do it. And even if you have a camera, the fee is the same, unless you don’t want to change the name on the sign, then
You can take photos as you like.
Twenty pounds couldn't make Han Qi feel heartache, or ten times more expensive, Han Qi couldn't refuse the opportunity to take a photo with such a landmark and loudly show off where he came from on the other side of the world.
There were two people lining up in front of Han Qi. When they finished taking pictures, Han Qi walked up.
"What do you want to write, sir."
"Just the distance between here and Yanjing."
The English on the signs is modular. Anyway, there are only a few dozen letters in English that can be combined into a word at will. If it is Chinese characters, it will be a big problem. It is estimated that it will not be easy to put together the names of countries in the world, let alone the specific ones.
The name of a certain city and tourist.
The staff checked the distance and began to place the letter plates upward one by one.
Han Qi took a photo, then handed his camera to an old man who was responsible for photography here, and said politely:
"Use my camera to take pictures, thank you very much."
"Sony? Okay, your camera is much better than mine."
The parameters were set when taking photos of the staff before. The old man just pointed at Han Qi and pressed the shutter button. He took many photos here every day. Practice makes perfect and he found the perfect angle, so even if Han Qi took the photos by himself
Maybe he can't take pictures as well as the old man.
After taking this photo, we walked forward to see where the local residents live.
Han Qi's adventurous spirit took over again, and he started walking along a path along the river.
The scenery along the way is very British. On one side is the slightly yellowed pastoral scenery, and the bulging mountains are like ripples on the earth, pushing the tranquility and beauty of the countryside into an endless future. On the other side is the distinct sea.
, although the sea water is crystal clear and pure color, it can also make people feel an unfathomable mystery and silence.
On such a coast, huge stones are the most charming existence. They block the rough waves of the village, firmly guarding the front line against the ocean, and gently guarding the land behind them.
Han Qi put the camera away, jumped off the path, and climbed onto the rocks using his hands and feet.
This rock is several meters away from the ocean, and more than two meters away from the nearest land. Standing on it, looking in the direction of the sea, and listening to the waves hitting the rock, I always feel like I am boarding a certain ship leading to the sea.
The location is the same as that of sea ships passing by.
Tourists passing by saw Han Qi standing on the rock closest to the ocean in the posture of "I am the king of the world" and took a photo.
When Han Qi saw it, he went to beg him to come back.
But it was only when she found the hotel in the evening and logged on to the Internet that Han Qi saw this photo in her mailbox.
Now and forever may seem contradictory, but they can exist at the same time in photos.
Because photos can allow people to cherish a beautiful moment forever.
The moment in this photo when he looked at the ocean was a moment he wanted to treasure forever.
The next day, Han Qi opened the hotel curtains and looked at the sea outside.
Lands End is as lively as ever. The dancing performance downstairs is surrounded by many tourists who have just arrived at Lands End. Cameras seem to be a must-have item for every family. Many people have them. The smiles on their faces make Han Qi excited.
A good mood for the day.
I went downstairs and had a quick pizza before driving to the theater.
When he saw a huge theater appearing in front of him, Han Qi couldn't help but marvel at the boldness and romance of the creator.
Why do you say huge?
Because it has no roof, it is a square-like stage venue, somewhat similar to the Colosseum in ancient Rome. But there are seats on only one side. The audience sitting there can only see the stage except the stage below.
The sea behind.
The original creator just provided her garden to local residents so that they could have a place to watch drama shows, but she did not expect that the show with the sea as the background was a huge success, so she spent a winter expanding the theater.
And I hope there will be wonderful plays performed here every summer.
Perhaps the open-air venue will greatly reduce the effectiveness of some plays, but a performance accompanied by the change of sky, the smell of the Atlantic monsoon, and the sound of waves as the background music will also bring a different feeling to the audience.
It was morning when Han Qi arrived here and the performance had not yet started.
Sitting in the empty stands, only the sea was singing to him in his ears.
The miraculous craftsmanship of nature, the creative works of artists, these scenery have only become famous after thousands of years. No matter whether it becomes commercial or not, there will definitely be people like me who are happy to go there. This is the beauty of the scenery.
