A ray of sunset shines on the shores of Lake Kariba.【26nbsp;】
Large chunks of clouds floated in the clear blue sky. These white clouds, like snowflakes, showed a flame-like red under the setting sun.
Ye Feng drove his jeep eastward along the lakeside road on the south shore of Lake Kariba. In the evening, he arrived at the northeastern part of Matusadona National Park in Zimbabwe.
Standing on the shore of Lake Kariba and looking into the distance, you will see the vast blue water with shining scales, like thousands of silver fish swimming slowly. The lake in the distance is as flat as a mirror, without a trace of dust. At a glance, the color of the lake is
The farther you go, the deeper the lake becomes, with silvery white, light blue, navy blue, and dark green. The boundaries are very clear. If you look at the lake from the ground, it will be a different scene. It is high in the distance and low near. You can only see white sails, like a string of kites.
Floating in the air. This state of "water and sky are the same color" can't help but remind people of the description in the poem, "Five hundred miles in the vastness, there is no distinction between clouds and water, and a boat is floating, as if it is in the sky."
"Kariba" means "trap" in the Shona language of Zimbabwe. This is because when the Zambezi River flows through this canyon, it seems to flow into a trap. The area where Lake Kariba is located was originally a wasteland, and later passed by tens of thousands of people.
After three years of hard work, migrant workers finally transformed it into the world's second largest artificial lake in 1958.
Lake Kariba is an important base for Zimbabwe's aquaculture industry. There are more than 60 kinds of fish in the lake, the most famous of which are tiger fish, Kariba fish, wool fish and cabinda fish. These are must-try delicacies for tourists.
Lake Kariba has made great contributions to Zimbabwe's economic development, so the locals also call it the "Lake of Hope."
Ye Feng drove the jeep and drove eastward along the road along the lake. Lake Kariba is very clean, and there is almost no trash that people throw away casually. The Mediterranean, Caribbean, Scottish and African styles on the shore
Stylish buildings pass by, and pretty purple and yellow flowers smile on the shore, adding a bit of charm to the calm Lake Kariba.
On the south shore of Lake Kariba is the famous Matusadona National Park. Many rare wild animals cross the lakeside road from time to time and come to the riverside to drink water and feed. Baboons and stubborn monkeys climb and jump up and down, and zebras with eye-catching stripes,
The herds of bison and antelopes in groups are a sight to behold. Occasionally, you can see lions walking in the grass and mountain leopards lying on tree branches. In the open areas, you can also see herds of elephants and rhinos.
Take a toddle walk.
The lake breeze is soft, the air is fresh, and the sunset is so brilliant, reflecting on the dotted houses by the lake. The smoke rises slowly, and the local fishermen are busy preparing dinner. Everyone's face is filled with understanding
The smile is as gentle as the lake breeze, without pretense or mask, coming from the heart, so pure and natural.
"This is truly a paradise on earth." Rebecca sat in the passenger seat, her fingers gently tangled in her long golden hair. Looking at the peaceful and peaceful scene in front of her, Rebecca had a faint smile on her face, and her eyes were filled with joy.
It's joy and appreciation. "Dear, I like it here very much. Look at the residents here, their lives are peaceful and happy, and everyone's face is filled with happy smiles."
Ye Feng nodded and said with a smile. "Only inner peace is the greatest happiness."
"Yes, people living in big cities face all kinds of temptations and have no way to keep their hearts calm. If the mind is not calm, various desires will arise. If those desires cannot be satisfied,
Pain and sorrow will follow." Rebecca sighed.
"It's actually very simple to live a peaceful life, that is, stick to yourself. Deep in your heart, keep a small, quiet space that is not disturbed by the outside world." Ye Feng showed a faint smile on his face,
His expression is peaceful and calm. "When you live in a busy city, you find your own tranquility. You stick to yourself and enjoy the hustle and bustle. You are no different from all living beings and return to yourself. You stay noble and blend into the crowd."
"My dear, you are like a philosopher." Rebecca said with a smile.
Ye Feng smiled and said lightly, "This is just a little bit of my feelings about life."
Looking at the darkening sky, Ye Feng slowed down the car and said, "Libeca, let's find a place to have dinner and let you taste the local snacks later."
Rebecca looked at the sparkling Lake Kariba and said excitedly, "It must be very romantic to have dinner in such a place with beautiful lakes and mountains."
"After dinner, we will take a short rest in a roadside restaurant. Then we will continue on the road, and we will arrive in Kariba City probably tomorrow morning." Ye Feng parked the jeep in front of a restaurant, and then took the
Rebecca got out of the jeep.
The restaurant is small but clean, and soothing and melodious singing comes from the speakers on the bar. The two of them sit at an oak table by the window, enjoying the sunset while tasting local snacks.
An off-road vehicle parked outside the restaurant. A middle-aged white man wearing a black priest's robe and two young black men hurriedly walked into the restaurant. The three of them looked at the customers in the restaurant and glanced at several
Tourists with travel bags then fell on Ye Feng and Rebecca.
The three of them walked quickly to the dining table. The two young black men immediately turned around and stared warily at the inside and outside of the restaurant. The middle-aged white man in a priest's robe sat on the seat next to Ye Feng and whispered. "
I would like to ask you two, are you coming to Zimbabwe from Namibia?"
Hearing the middle-aged pastor's words, Rebecca, who was sitting opposite Ye Feng, was startled. She quickly put down the knife and fork in her hand and looked at Ye Feng nervously.
Ye Feng glanced at the middle-aged pastor expressionlessly, picked up the wine glass, took a sip of red wine, and said lightly, "Who are you?"
"I can't answer your question until I figure out your identity." The middle-aged pastor frowned, lowered his voice, and continued. "Excuse me, have you been to Orange, Namibia a few days ago?
The town of Mondstadt.”
Looking at the black priest robe worn by the middle-aged priest and the cross hanging on his chest, Ye Feng roughly guessed the identity of the person. Ye Feng put down the wine glass in his hand and said coldly, "Who sent you here?
Yes, the Vatican of Milan or the Holy Cross."
"You, you, how can you compare the holy Holy See of Milan with that evil Holy Cross Society?" The middle-aged pastor was extremely dissatisfied with Ye Feng's words and spoke much louder. Later, the middle-aged pastor also noticed
Being rude, he hurriedly reached out and made the sign of the cross, and then whispered, "Sir, please answer my question first. I think you need help now, and I can help you leave Africa."
Although the middle-aged pastor did not directly answer Ye Feng's question, Ye Feng could tell from the tone of his words that the three people in front of him were sent by the Milan Holy See. Ye Feng ignored the middle-aged pastor's question.
Asked, he picked up the wine glass as if no one else was watching, and tasted the red wine comfortably. Seeing Ye Feng's silence, Rebecca did not interrupt, picked up the knife and fork, and continued to eat dinner.
Seeing Ye Feng being indifferent to him, the middle-aged pastor frowned and whispered. "You two, I sincerely want to help you, and please tell me your true identity first."
Seeing that Ye Feng was still silent, the middle-aged pastor was a little anxious and had to explain his purpose. "Three days ago, the cruise ship Gramma caught fire and sank in the waters near Orangemond. But this accident
, is not a shipwreck, but a naked assassination plot. It is said that tourists escaped from the sea at that time. The killers who created the assassination plot of the Granma cruise ship have already searched the small town of Orangemond.
They turned the tables on each other and killed many Europeans who were doing business or traveling in Orangemond."
The middle-aged pastor paused and then continued. "Both of you, are you survivors of the Granma cruise ship? If you are survivors, I will help you leave Africa. However, I need to verify your identity first.
identity."
Ye Feng nodded and said calmly. "We are survivors who escaped from the Gramma cruise ship. But I won't tell you our true identities, and I don't need your help."
Hearing Ye Feng admit that he and Rebecca were the survivors on the Gramma cruise ship, the middle-aged pastor breathed a sigh of relief. However, the words that followed Ye Feng made the middle-aged pastor feel very puzzled.
, couldn't help but ask, "Why, don't you believe in God? The fact that you were able to escape with your life on the vast sea is entirely due to God's blessing."
After the middle-aged pastor finished speaking, he clasped his hands and prayed devoutly.
Looking at the devout middle-aged pastor in front of him, Ye Feng felt funny and angry in his heart, and said coldly. "There are more than 800 tourists who were buried in the sea. Why didn't God bless them? It's because God is partial.
, don’t want to help those 800 tourists; or because those 800-odd tourists are bad people and deserve to go to hell.”
"You, you, how dare you be disrespectful to God." The middle-aged pastor did not expect that Ye Feng would actually say such words, and he was anxious and angry. However, the middle-aged pastor did not know how to refute Ye Feng for a while.
I had no choice but to sigh and say, "May the deceased rest in peace. Sir, I don't want to argue with you about these issues."
Ye Feng didn't want to argue with the middle-aged pastor, so he picked up the wine glass and drank red wine silently.
"You two, I am Harriet, a pastor from the Kariba region of Zimbabwe. I have been entrusted by the Holy See of Milan and the Italian Ambassador to Zimbabwe to help you." Facing the silent Ye Feng, the middle-aged pastor had no choice but to
First, he revealed his identity. "I will deliver you safely to the airport, and then take you out of Africa and to Italy."
"I've already said that I don't need your help. Moreover, I don't believe you either." Ye Feng showed a faint smile on his face and said coldly. "At this time, I only believe in my friends.
As for other people, I won’t believe it at all.”
Pastor Harriet sighed and advised earnestly. "Sir, please consider my suggestion carefully. According to the information I have received, a large number of killers have come to Zimbabwe from Namibia. Do you think you can escape their pursuit?"
Kill?"
Ye Feng nodded and said calmly. "Pastor Harriet, since you know that we are survivors who escaped from the Gramma cruise ship, do you know that I have killed more than forty people along the way?
Killer."
"Oh, God. May God forgive your sins." Harriet reached out and made the sign of the cross, and then said. "Sir, do you really not need our help? We really want to help you."
"No need." A bold and unrestrained smile appeared on Ye Feng's face, and he said extremely domineeringly. "If a god stands in his way, he will kill a god, and if he stands in the way of a Buddha, he will kill a Buddha. Anyone who comes to trouble me will have only one end, and that is death.
.”
Harriet smiled bitterly and said helplessly, "Okay, may God bless you."
Harriet sighed, then took the two young black men into the SUV and left the restaurant.
Looking at the off-road vehicle in the distance, Rebecca put down the knife and fork in her hand and said with a smile, "My dear, why do you refuse their help."
"Although they said they were sincerely helping us, I knew in my heart that this was not unconditional help, and I didn't want to owe them any favors," Ye Feng said.
Rebecca nodded and said jokingly, "My dear, you have saved me so many times, don't I owe you a lot of favors."
"Of course." Ye Feng laughed and said, "Rebecca, how do you plan to repay these favors?"
"Let me think about it." Rebecca blinked and looked out the window at the starry night sky, with a playful smile on Rebecca's cheeks.
Rebecca reached out and picked up the car keys that Ye Feng had placed on the dining table, then she stood up and said with a smile, "My dear, let's go."
Rebecca opened the car door and sat in the driver's seat. Looking at Ye Feng who was standing beside the car with confusion, Rebecca waved her hand and said, "Honey, get in the car quickly."
"You can drive if you want. I'll drive again when you get tired." Ye Feng got in the car without thinking too much.
Rebecca drove the jeep skillfully along the lakeside road. However, when she came to a fork in the road, Rebecca turned the steering wheel and the jeep entered Matusado on the south side of the road.
Na National Park.
Ye Feng looked at Rebecca in confusion, but Rebecca smiled and said nothing. He stepped on the accelerator and drove the jeep deep into the forest. The jeep drove in the forest for a while, and then stopped at a big tree.
under.
Ye Feng looked at the dark forest around him and said with confusion. "Rebecca, why did you park the car in Matusadona National Park? Do you want to see wild animals here?"
"Yes, enjoy the wild animals." Rebecca blinked, reached out to turn off the ceiling light in the car, then threw herself into Ye Feng's arms and said with a smile. "My dear, along the way, there are many things to see again.
It's a lion and it's a zebra, and I'm tired of seeing them. Now, I want to see that little animal of yours."
Rebecca untied Ye Feng's belt, put her hand into Ye Feng's pants, and caught the "cute" little animal. "Hehe, you're quite well behaved. Baby, did you miss me?"
ah."
Rebecca's bold and wild actions and charming teasing made Ye Feng's heart ablaze. Ye Feng took Rebecca into his arms, and his hands roamed wildly on Rebecca's convex and concave body.
superior.
The surroundings were dark, but the interior of the carriage was full of spring. The two figures were tightly intertwined, rolling and entangled on the car seat. The sound of heavy breathing and coquettish whispers echoed in the carriage. Even the heavy jeep
, as if being infected by the two people, it slowly started to dance, and then swayed violently.
After a long time, the car slowly returned to calm.
Rebecca reached out and turned on the overhead light, straightened her appearance in the rearview mirror, and then kissed Ye Feng on the cheek. "My dear, do you like this way of repaying your favor?"
"I like it very much. This way of repayment is very romantic and has a strong French charm." Ye Feng patted Rebecca's round and plump pink buttocks and said jokingly. "But you owe me so many favors. This time
But it’s still unclear.”
"I have no intention of paying it off all at once." Rebecca raised her pretty face, stared at Ye Feng's eyes with her clear and translucent sapphire eyes, and said lovingly.
"My dear, I am prepared to spend my whole life slowly repaying your favor."
