It's summer now, and the whole of Norway seems to be occupied by foreigners. Not only are there so many foreigners with cameras in the city, but even the originally empty roads are full of brightly colored rental cars, obviously from other places.
People drive out to travel by car.
After driving for a day, Han Qi felt a little bored and turned on the tape recorder that came with the sports car.
The tune of "unchained melody" came from the recorder. This song is very classic in English-speaking areas. Han Qi and Ingrid both knew it and sang it loudly together.
"Oh! My love, my dear. I long for your touch~"
Han Qi smiled evilly and stretched out his right hand to touch Ingrid's leg.
But he was beaten.
It doesn't matter, it's mainly because of the energy. It's as if the exhaustion of the two people on the road for the past few hours has been wiped away by doing something strange.
Han Qi still sang to the tune of the tape recorder, but Ingrid stopped singing. She was self-aware of her own musical level and knew how good she was... And how could she enjoy singing by herself as much as listening to Han Qi sing live?
While listening to the song, Ingrid was also looking at the road outside the car.
It had been a long time since she had taken a car on these roads. In the past few years, she had mostly traveled by plane, and occasionally by high-speed train. Thinking about it carefully, she had not taken a car out of Oslo and reached the highway outside the city in five or six years.
The surrounding scenery is the same as it was a few years ago, it hasn't changed at all.
"Han Qi." She suddenly shouted.
"What's wrong?"
"You are considered a Norwegian now. You find a place to park and I will take you somewhere."
"Ah?" Han Qi said subconsciously, and then smiled: "Yes, of course Norway's son-in-law is Norwegian, but after all, you are also from China. Where are you taking me?"
"Get off the car, I remember it's nearby."
Han Qi drove the car directly off the road and parked it on the plain land on the side of the road.
After spending some time to close the hood, Ingrid took Han Qi and walked deeper into the forest, but Han Qi didn't see the road. If people walked on this kind of grass all year round, they would definitely leave traces.
As Mr. Lu Xun said.
"Where are you taking me?"
"I don't know what it's called, I just know it's a place with beautiful scenery, a place only we Norwegians know."
"You have lost both of us."
"Oh, shut up."
Ingrid turned around and glared at Han Qi dissatisfied, then continued to look for a way.
During this season, tourists from Norway flock everywhere, and the local residents have a tacit understanding that no one will share their daily walking places, so there will be many good places that cannot be found on the Internet or on travel apps.
Ingrid took Han Qi around in the woods, and Han Qi silently remembered the way he came.
He was still thinking that he had escaped the title of novice traveler, but if he still carried it now, it would be really difficult for the two of them to get lost in the deep forest.
But then Ingrid found her way.
After walking for about five minutes, there was a path through the forest, a long gravel road leading straight into the depths of the forest.
"Found it!!"
Han Qi helped Ingrid remove the leaves from her head and asked, "Why are you looking for this road? Don't hide it from me now."
"Go see the little rabbit."
Ingrid finally revealed her purpose, but what greeted her was Han Qi blinking in confusion.
What's so good about rabbits? Let's eat roasted rabbit tonight?
As a Tianfu person, a common saying in the Tianfu food circle is that no rabbit can leave Tianfu intact, just like no duck can leave Jiangcheng intact.
After walking along this road for a few minutes, the view broadened, and Han Qi saw rabbits all over the mountains and plains.
"Holy shit!"
When Han Qi saw it for the first time, he immediately marked it in crisp Chinese.
There are rabbits everywhere on the hillside. You can see a waterfall in the distance. This waterfall is not very high, but the water flow is very beautiful and white. It falls like a golden thread in the sun. Below the waterfall is a lake.
There were no foreigners with cameras around, only some residential houses and a few young people sitting on the hillside to rest.
"Why so many?"
Ingrid walked to Han Qi, heard him talking to himself, and said, "Isn't this normal? Look at the lake over there. If I remember correctly, it's all salmon."
"This is a wild place, no one is fishing?"
"No, with legal protection, who would take the risk to come here to fish?"
Han Qi thought for a moment... The fishing guy knows.
Fishing guys are definitely not good at fishing. If you don’t catch one, you probably can go into the water and catch one.
The two continued walking inside, and Ingrid told interesting stories about her past visits here: "The woods here sometimes hide lost Arctic seagulls. This kind of bird is very aggressive. The one I came here last time
I was so frightened by the little ones at that time.”
These rabbits are not very afraid of people, but they don't get too close. Among the group of young people I saw before, there was a girl who was feeding the rabbits with carrots.
Han Qi and Ingrid walked to the edge of the lake. The fish inside were really visible to the naked eye. Each of them was estimated to weigh more than ten kilograms. Their shadows in the lake looked huge, and Han Qi could still see them through the lake.
It's really all salmon.
Why didn't he bring a bottle of mustard? Han Qi suddenly thought, if he had brought a bottle of mustard, wouldn't he just grab a fish and apply some mustard on it and eat it?
He was delighted by his thoughts and laughed twice.
"What are you laughing at? You think this place is beautiful too, right?"
When Han Qi told Ingrid his thoughts, Ingrid quickly shook her head: "Don't think like that. It's against the law. I have to correct you."
"..."
"I'm just thinking about it, but I finally understand why you are so dedicated to protecting nature."
Look at the hares all over the mountains and plains.
In other countries, there would not be so many hares in inhabited areas. Otherwise, they would be caught and eaten, or else they would be driven away. In some places, people even hunt for some wild rabbits to eat.
With additional catching, it will take at least a day to catch one or two rabbits.
How could it be possible to see dozens of rabbits at a glance like this?
However, understanding is all that matters, and Han Qi still had the idea of catching one and roasting it to eat.
The two held hands and walked to the waterfall. When they got closer to the waterfall, they saw that the water was turbulent. The waterfall was divided into several water channels of different thicknesses, one of which looked like steps. The stones below him were washed smooth by the water.
Gu Yan
Ingrid said: "This is the staircase used by salmon to cross the waterfall. The last time I came here was when the salmon were spawning, and the scene was spectacular."
She danced and described it to Han Qi, and the picture gradually appeared in Han Qi's mind.
Going further, you can see dense rabbit holes. Two rabbits, one gray and one white, stand at the entrance of the hole. Han Qi counted the rabbits in front of him. There were a total of twelve rabbits. Ingrid touched her pocket and thought.
Conjuring carrots from empty pockets.
But it obviously failed. Although Han Qi often said that she was a Nordic elf, she was not a real elf.
Ingrid said with a grimace: "Ah, I didn't bring anything. If I had known I would come here, I would have brought something to feed them, eh?"
When she looked at Han Qi, she found that the gray rabbit had already jumped towards Han Qi, and Han Qi was squatting on one knee on the ground, stretching his hands forward, but his hands were empty, no carrots, and no carrots.
There is no grass that rabbits like to eat.
The gray rabbit came over and smelled Han Qi's hand, but Han Qi touched his rabbit's head with his backhand.
Well, there's a lot of meat.
Fortunately, the rabbit can't read minds, otherwise he would have to show the speed of a runner-up.
Ingrid: "Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh?"
She couldn't understand the current scene. Han Qi had no snacks in his hand, so why should he attract rabbits? Could it be that Han Qi smelled like carrots?
She got closer and smelled it, but there seemed to be no smell.
Han Qi didn't know what Ingrid was doing, so he stood up.
The gray rabbit also stood up, looked at Han Qi, and exposed his belly. Ingrid was so cute by his little expression that she squatted down and wanted to stroke the belly of the rabbit with white fur, but what exactly is the rabbit?
An alert animal, it leaned over to hide its belly, turned its butt towards Ingrid, and jumped away.
Ingrid was very upset.
"Ahhhhh, what the hell is going on? You can just touch him no matter what."
"This is affinity." Han Qi said with her hands on her hips.
He didn't know what was going on, but in the past few years, he had not seen any wild animals showing hostility to him. Even the fierce dogs walking in the community would wag their tails when they saw Han Qi. Maybe he had the system.
A stronger affinity?
"Hmph!" Ingrid snorted, looked at the weak sun, and said, "We're back, are you still shopping?"
"No more shopping, let's go."
Ingrid stepped forward first, as if she didn't want to pay attention to Han Qi, but two minutes later, the two began to discuss enthusiastically what they should eat for dinner, completely forgetting that she had ignored Han Qi for at least half an hour a minute ago.
idea.
"Look over there, is that a rabbit?" Ingrid said.
Han Qi looked towards where she was pointing and saw a little white rabbit lying at the entrance of a muddy hole with blood stains on his body. Han Qi could see that his body was still heaving, so he should still be alive.
"Yes, he is injured."
Han Qi ran over there and soon reached the entrance of the cave.
There was a long wound on the hind leg of this little white rabbit, and blood stains came here from dozens of meters away, but it seemed that he had no strength anymore. He looked at Han Qi and Ingrid who came to him with two eyes, completely
There is no thought of escape.
Han Qi touched him and found that the hair was very soft, but the little rabbit did not move.
Ingrid squatted down next to Han Qi and said, "This must have been caught by an eagle..." She suddenly looked up at the sky, and Han Qi also followed her gaze and saw a circling eagle.
.
"He will be eaten," said Ingrid.
"Want to save me?"
"It can't be saved, the injury is too serious,"
Han Qi went to pull the rabbit, but he didn't move. Han Qi didn't dare to operate anymore. He was afraid that the rabbit was not dead in the first place, but he would kill it by pulling and pulling it. He would not really take a rabbit to the barbecue.
He was just joking.
Han Qi looked at the sky, and then at the rabbit that was about to return to its nest but had no strength.
Alas, it’s all fate.
I wanted to stuff him into the hole, but this rabbit was obviously about to bleed to death. It was useless to save it. It was better to follow the laws of nature and let the eagle eat it.
He stood up and pulled Ingrid. Ingrid also knew that this one couldn't be saved, so she left with Han Qi, but her mood began to feel low again.
Back in the car, Ingrid was still not very active.
"I've seen too many things during my trip. Gather your emotions, we're almost to the next town."
"I'm fine."
Ingrid could think clearly, but the fatigue of the day seemed to be completely released at that moment. Now she was very tired and didn't want to talk. It wasn't because of the rabbit... although it was only a little bit.
After driving for an hour, we arrived at a village.
This is similar to the village where Han Qi stayed in Iceland for a few days, and there is also a large farm.
Han Qi went up and asked. The farmer was a man wearing a blue shirt, with beautifully combed hair, who looked like a company boss. Originally, he did not accept tourists to live in his rural area. The town was two hours' drive away.
, it’s only nine o’clock when we drive over at this time, there is no need to receive people.
But when he heard Han Qi speak fluent Icelandic with an Oslo accent, he nodded in agreement.
Han Qi came in with Ingrid.
There are only two people on this farm, a farmer and a proprietress. They are both around 30 or 40 years old, and they look very fashionable. They don't look like people who live in the countryside and run a farm. They feel like the middle class in Oslo.
The landlady stared at Ingrid for a long time and asked, "The little girl looks so familiar."
"Ah, I am a popular face."
Ingrid imitated Han Qi's tone and said.
When he was in China, Han Qi would occasionally meet fans. Those fans were not sure whether he was Han Qi himself, so they would say that they thought Han Qi looked familiar, and then Han Qi would say that he had a popular face.
It's a perfunctory answer, and it's even more perfunctory when used here.
If Ingrid is so beautiful, will she be a popular face?
The couple were both speechless.
But they didn't care, it was just a random topic to chat with, and they were sure that they didn't know Han Qi or Ingrid.
Ingrid looked at the jar in the hostess's hand and asked, "Are you making blueberry jam? There are already blueberries?"
"We have a little bit here, but it's not sweet enough. It can only be used to make blueberry jam. Jersey likes blueberry jam that is more sour."
In Norway, wild blueberries are all over the mountains and forests. If you go out of the city, you can eat and pick them at the same time. Norwegian blueberries are small, thin-skinned, and extremely sweet. Han Qi ate a lot of them in Norway last year. Thinking that this year’s blueberries are ripe again,
The mouth began to secrete saliva.
Han Qi offered to pay for dinner with money, but the farmer refused.
When chatting in the evening, Han Qi learned that the couple had just sold their company and came here to sell the farm. They hadn't started buying animals yet. They wanted to wait until they had lived there for a while and got familiar with the people around them.
Start raising animals.
"What about you? Where are you from?" the woman asked Han Qi and Ingrid.
