Such a situation was going on back and forth on this narrow gangway, with people falling into the water everywhere, until the moment the hatch opened.
Ford, who has always been elegant, also shouted without any image: "Where are our seats?"
"First class! Middle cabin!" the person in front shouted.
They spoke in different languages, and could barely identify their companions among the noise.
People without tickets were not allowed to enter the first-class seats, but Chen Xing also used all his strength to walk into the small iron gate. Once inside, the space was spacious, and everyone was gasping for air.
It feels like I just ran a few 100-meter races.
[The collision of courage and courage, the duel between self and self, does not involve any strategy, everything is so direct and unobstructed, just like the simplicity of animal instinct]
【Welcome to Africa】
[Congratulations on acquiring the skill: Astronomer]
Chen Xing was shocked.
When a message comes from the system, you will feel a rush, but there is no prompt for a long time.
He originally thought there would be a warning when the plane landed, but there still wasn't. How long have you been in Africa now? It's almost half a month old, now is the time?
Chen Xing quickly realized that it was when the boat was crowded just now.
The feeling of squeezing forward is like athletes competing for the championship. If you successfully board the boat, you will get a medal. Chen Xing has never experienced that feeling. And the system likes to let Chen Xing experience this feeling of discovering surprises.<
/p>
But...is this a surprise?
Chen Xing checked his system and found Astronomer in the skill bar.
[Astronomer: You know 20% of the known planets in the world and are familiar with the planets in the Milky Way. Are you a qualified astronomer, or a starry sky enthusiast?]
This skill... doesn’t seem to be easy to make money?
You still make money, those who do astronomy are poorer than those who do photography.
However, this will undoubtedly improve your night sky photography skills and eliminate the need for a mobile phone when looking for the location of the Milky Way.
"No one is hurt, right?" an older photographer asked.
Chen Xing shook his head and looked at this place.
This cabin also looks shabby, but fortunately it is clean. As a first-class ferry, the seats are all made of plastic, which is naturally a bit of a loss, but it also makes Chen Xing feel more at ease.
The plastic one is a bit cleaner.
At this time, Chen Xing heard a voice coming from the door. Two people checking first-class tickets refused to let Ford and another colleague in.
Chen Xing went over and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Our wallet was stolen..."
Chen Xing subconsciously touched his pocket. The bulging bag was still there. Someone had touched their hands several times before, but Chen Xing quickly knocked their hands away.
He had never been on such a crowded vehicle before, and he was very angry, so he used a lot of force.
Fortunately, there was nothing too valuable in their wallets, just some exchanged Sudanese pounds, and their passports were with the director. And because the stolen seats were first-class seats, the thief did not dare to come in even with the tickets. By the time the dock verified Ford's identity and let them in, the ship was about to leave.
The sound engineer said: "I've never been so crowded before, it's so fun!"
…
"..."
Everyone looked at him.
No one has ever experienced such a crowd. They only felt uncomfortable and not happy at all.
Have you awakened to any strange habits?
Chen Xing checked the time at this time. The boat battle lasted for a full hour. Looking out from the window of the first-class seat, the deck outside was already full of people. There were still many people who had not come up in the far port.
.
Do they have tickets?
Or the ship will see if it can come on. Those who come on will naturally have tickets, and those who don't will have tickets. Those who can't come on, even if they have tickets, will probably be treated as invalid tickets.
No wonder you need to squeeze in.
From the time I left for the bus in the morning to now, I first felt seasick. I haven't recovered much and then experienced this kind of chaotic situation. Even Chen Xing felt very tired.
Fortunately, although the boat is a bit broken, there is no smell.
Chen Xing sat on the chair and quickly fell asleep.
Several hours have passed since I opened my eyes again. The destination has not been reached yet, but it is not far away either.
The Nile River here is very wide, and seven or eight large ships can be seen around it.
Chen Xing passed through the two black men guarding the door and came to the platform outside the cabin.
This is the only place where I can stand still. There is no space left on the deck. Countless luggage and people are like sardines in a can. Even the toilet is full of people, let alone walking.
[In view of the general environment,
The sky is starting to get dark, and the sun is about to set. The heat of the day has dissipated a little. The cool breeze from the Nile River blows through the people on the deck. The setting sun hangs low on the distant horizon, red, almost matching the setting sun on the water.
Coincident.
The picture is beautiful.
But it's a pity that the camera is not with him.
Chen Xing is in a very calm mood now. The impetuousness of the past week has disappeared in today's crowd. That roar at others also roared away all the pressure on him.
Maybe when you try your best, you will feel relaxed like this.
Just like many people like to play ball, run wildly, or find a place where no one is around to yell when they are stressed.
Ford came from behind, patted Chen Xing on the shoulder and said, "Isn't it beautiful? It's a pity that I didn't bring a camera."
"I feel bad for bringing it with me. What should I do if it breaks when I get on the boat? It's the same as using a mobile phone."
Chen Xing took out his mobile phone and was about to turn on the professional mode when he saw Ford's sad face.
"How...uh..."
Ford's mobile phone was also stolen.
Ford shook his head and said, "It's okay. I'll just get a new phone when I get back. It'll be good too."
Chen Xing lowered his head a little, facing the crowd at the stern of the boat and the sunset.
After all, they are all black, so it is definitely suitable to take a silhouette.
Katcha.
Chen Xing likes to turn on the shutter sound of his mobile phone, so that he thinks it will be more interesting when taking pictures. However, it still depends on personal habits. The shutter of your mobile phone only depends on how you set it. It doesn't matter whether you turn on the sound or not. "The sunset is so beautiful." Chen Xing said with a smile, and also sent this photo to his circle of friends.
Nowadays, he posts the slightly better photos he took with his mobile phone on his WeChat Moments.
…
He also has some fans, and sometimes he will post the photos he sent to the Moments in the fan group. Song Shulan is now the leader of two groups with a crowd of 3,000 people. She usually likes to post photos of Chen Xing in the Moments.
.
Chen Xing even saw screenshots of his chat with her in other fan groups.
For example.
Chen Xing: Am I not handsome?
"We were on a ship, and the way to board the ship in Africa was really beyond my expectation. It felt like a combination of China's morning rush hour subway and Indian trains... But fortunately, I was more skilled and got on the ship. (Photo)" He is still writing about his travels in France, but if he wants to write about Africa in the future, he will definitely write it down completely and in great detail.
Very impressive.
Speaking of which, the system really understands Chen Xing. Every time a reward is given out, Chen Xing still remembers those scenes. If he recalls it a little, he can think of the details of that time.
As for the travel system, it seems that we need to travel more and gain more knowledge.
The next day.
The dazzling morning sun and heat made Chen Xing wake up from his sleep.
The ship seems to be docking soon.
Others woke up earlier than Chen Xing. When Laifu Bode saw Chen Xing waking up, he said, "You slept so soundly."
"Of course, you don't get motion sickness, so how could you possibly know how uncomfortable it is for those of us who get motion sickness."
Another person who suffered from motion sickness agreed and said: "That's right, I hope I won't have to ride in a car again after I get ashore. Even if I do, I'll get a slightly better one. It's really uncomfortable to sit in the cargo box of a truck."
We arrived at the port at eleven o'clock.
After completing all the formalities, leaving the port was a street selling aquatic products, where Nobel was waiting for them.
He smiled. When he saw everyone arriving, he instinctively wanted to give the photographer a hug. This kind of hug is very common in France. But as soon as he took the photographer's hand, Nobel's expression changed - he smelled the photography.
The stink of the teacher.
In the high temperature of more than 35 degrees, they crowded onto the boat with a group of black people who didn't know what they were doing, and then stayed on the boat for another night with one or two hundred people. The sour smell was simply worse than that of the old pickled cabbage jar.
The acidic water is even more pungent.
The feeling may be different, but it does smell a bit like it.
The photographer laughed and pulled Director Nobel into a hug.
He is a veteran in the TV station. He is 43 years old. He is not worried about what the director will say about him. When no one makes mistakes, Nobel is a good-natured and elegant person who can make jokes. p>
"What did you do?"
"What did we do? We didn't do anything, we just got on the boat once."
He said with a smile, then looked at Chen Xing and the others looking around, and asked helpfully: "We can't just pick up and drop off by truck, right?"
"That's not the case."
Nobel pushed him away in disgust and said: "Come with me, let's rest today, and then we are going to take pictures of Sudan's largest hospital and explore Sudan's medical system. I also just came to pick you up from the hotel, not yet
I went to see it."
Wearing a clean white shirt and a hairstyle that represents the upper class in Africa, the guide said: "Don't worry, the conditions here are much better than before. The hotel you stay in is for two people and has a separate bathroom."
…
"Woohoo!" Laif Bode jumped up happily.
Private bathroom, does this not only improve their living experience?
That's simply exchanging a shotgun for a cannon.
Several people followed the guide, and he continued: "The place we are going to is the largest hospital in Sudan, the Sudan United Hospital. By the way, this hospital is jointly opened by you Chinese and the Sudanese government. There are many doctors from China in it.
Nurses."
"Really!"
Chen Xing said in surprise.
"I don't need to lie to you."
He instantly looked forward to the subsequent filming.
This trip was quite tiring physically, so Nobel also gave them a day to rest. They could stroll around the Sudanese capital and relax, or they could sleep in the hotel all day without anyone caring about them. p>
But now Chen Xing is full of energy.
During this period, Chen Xing was exposed to a world built by slovenly men every day. The only women he saw were all black, let alone nurses, and he had never seen even one who could speak Chinese.
Chen Xing decided not to rest and went to see the situation immediately.
"Where is the hospital?"
Laifu Bode laughed twice and said, "I want to go with you too. Don't even think about leaving us alone."
"Don't worry, I'll take you to the hotel first."
When they arrived at the highway, Chen Xing and the others saw two vans.
It's not very good-looking, but it can be called a car anyway. It's ten times better than the truck they rode in before. At least they can sit on chairs this time instead of sitting in a dirty truck bed.
.
The hotel they stayed in was on a street in the capital of Sudan called Zhuba Mangku, also called Heping Street. But it seemed that Heping Street was not very peaceful either. Chen Xing saw someone on this street holding a knife through the car window, and he was vicious
walking.
The guide was in a car with them and said: "The security here is average, but it is not bad in Africa. There are very few deaths."
Rarely...that is, occasionally.
It’s normal abroad. China is already one of the safest places in the world. Judging from past experience, only some powerful countries can maintain superficial peace, while weak countries have never been able to make any decisions. p>
When he arrived at the hotel, Chen Xing saw that the windows in the room had iron bars and the bodyguards stood straight at the door of the hotel.
After entering the hotel, Nobel said:
"The seven rooms on the second floor, except for the two rooms near the stairs, are all yours. Your luggage has been put on them. Chen Xing, Ford, you are in the third room, Laif Bode..."<
/p>
He looked at the records on his phone and assigned rooms.
Chen Xing took the key and went upstairs with Ford. Ford asked: "Do you want to take a shower? I really want to take a shower, but I always feel that my clothes and skin are all stained together."
"Let me go first, I'll have something to do later."
Ford was stunned for a moment, but soon remembered what happened at the port before and asked: "Are you going to the hospital?"
"Isn't it obvious?"
Ford was not married yet, so he felt envious for a moment. He really wanted to meet some girls, but... he didn't seem to have the conditions like Chen Xing.
"Don't play too late. You are the photographer named by Professor Nobel. You probably have a mission tomorrow."
"You think too much, I'll go over and take a look."
It is estimated that young and beautiful girls will not come to Africa, but it is hard to talk about such things. He mainly wants to see their working environment in the next few days, and talk to the Chinese people in the hospital. p>
In real life, many people change their appearance after going abroad. Especially in the United States, it is not uncommon for fellow countrymen to cheat on fellow countrymen.
But why do people always fall for it?
Because of loneliness.
It was okay when she was in France. Chen Xing understood French and was surrounded by young people, especially Hedwig. Her withdrawn personality always gave Chen Xing something to do. She studied hard at school and thought about how to change when she was at home.
She.
In Africa, there are only a few people who can chat.
