Chapter 357 The Lifestyle of a Landscape Photographer
Chen Xing likes tall horses. When he first learned to ride horses, he was at Nyima Zhandui's house in Tibet. The horse was more than two meters tall, which was taller than many types of camels. He found a good angle to take the photo.
The photo below clearly shows the majesty of the horseman.
But in fact, it is precisely because of its height that this type of horse has poor reflexes, is not flexible enough, and is not as fast as other breeds of horses.
The horses in this manor are all fjord horses. Although they are only about 1.5 meters tall, they have very good waist and back integration, well-developed muscles, and balanced development of explosive power and endurance.
Although it is not as good as modern trained British thoroughbred horses or Arabian horses, as a riding horse, the Norwegian Fjord Horse is definitely qualified.
The two were competing for each other on this track. One of the horses had just passed half a length, and the horse behind him immediately tried hard to catch up. After running for more than ten minutes, no one had a particularly obvious advantage. There were people riding horses on this track before, but now they have gone aside.
Keira even jumped on the side of the track and shouted: "Mrs. Bai!! Go for it! As long as you win Solin, I will personally brush your hair and give you extra food at night! I will give you carrots!"
Among the two horses, only Chen Xing is riding a white horse. It is self-evident who Mrs. Bai is talking about.
But even if she shouted again, the two competing horses probably wouldn't be able to hear her.
There were many people standing outside the venue. Some of them came out to watch the fun after hearing the news. After all, there were indeed a lot of guests at this birthday party, including the group of people Chen Xing knew before. They asked the groom to lead the horse.
After entering the stables, I stood outside and watched, feeling very excited.
This group of people are all young people, in their teens and twenties, the age when they like to compete.
Chen Xing and Solin's horse racing obviously made their blood boil.
There is also the young lady who was courted by three men just now. She is a little older than the group of friends Chen Xing knows. She is probably around 25 years old. She does not stand with young people. She stands alone on one side, with her right hand on
My heart and eyes seemed locked, tightly focused on this game.
Twenty minutes later, Chen Xing’s advantage came.
The two horses don't feel tired yet. Running for half an hour in this weather may be just a warm-up for them, and they are probably feeling comfortable.
But for people, riding a high-speed horse for half an hour is really tiring.
Neither Chen Xing nor Solin are professional horse racing players. They can only be regarded as enthusiasts. Of course, their physical fitness is not as strong as that of athletes... But!
But Chen Xing's endurance has been strengthened by the system.
He has gained so many skills, his physical fitness is very good, and he has also gained endurance enhancement, which allows him to hike for a whole day without breaking a sweat. How could this half-hour horse racing push him to the limit of his physical fitness? So when Thorin's face turned red, Chen Xing's expression remained stern.
Maybe older Chinese people will think about whether they should save some face for others when they visit other people's homes. After all, it's okay to win the game and lose the game, but it's not good to offend the local host.
But Chen Xing is very young, so it’s okay if he doesn’t compete. Now that they are competing, he must win.
After a few more minutes, Thorin couldn't stand it anymore and shouted: "I lost! I won't run anymore!"
Then actively rein in the horse and slow down.
The horse he was riding was dissatisfied for a while, and after neighing a few times, it reluctantly slowed down and stopped.
Chen Xing also laughed when he saw others admitting defeat. He continued to ride for half a circle. When he reached Kaila and the others, he stopped, dismounted and said, "Her name is Mrs. Bai? She is such a good girl."
"Of course, she is the most beautiful."
The fjord horses are all very good-looking, and the cute ones are good-looking. It is rare to see one as delicate as Mrs. Bai. The key is that they are not inferior to stallions in running.
Not bad, not bad.
Chen Xing patted her neck several times, and Mrs. Bai also stepped on her hooves with satisfaction.
Several friends who I just met also gathered around and said, "I didn't expect your horse riding skills to be so good."
"Thorin has lost to you. He used to be the most arrogant."
Thorin led the horse over just in time to hear it, and said with a wry smile: "Don't mention it, eh, really, the horse didn't lose, I can't hold on anymore, I have to practice my physical fitness after returning home this time, who wants to do this this weekend?
Do you want to go hiking together?"
"I'll go." One of the men quickly signed up.
Soon four people who had time gathered together.
Everyone gathered around the two horses to go to the stables. Mrs. Bai was so arrogant that her walking posture was almost comparable to dressage. The other horse probably felt that losing the competition was humiliating, so it kept its head down and walked no matter how others led it.
.
Horses are really smart animals. They may have a higher IQ than dogs, and their emotional expressions are very obvious.
This is probably one of the things Chen Xing likes about horses.
When you are smart to a certain level, your pet is no longer a pet, but a friend.
Chen Xing was still worried about whether Solin would have any objections to him, but his worry was obviously too early. Far from having any objections to him, Solin asked Chen Xing where he learned to ride horses and whether he had any special skills.
.
For example, how to ride a horse without getting tired.
Who has it?
In addition, some people asked Chen Xing why his riding posture is so handsome.
It’s hard for Chen Xing to answer this question.
He can't say that he learned horse riding just to look cool, and the environment in the Chinese grassland is different from that in Europe, and some horse riding skills are also different. And generally speaking, Chen Xing is just like what others have said about him before, he is a wild man.
Road.
If you ride a horse well, you won't show off your wild ways.
Chen Xing and a group of young people were chatting. Inside the house, the horse racing incident also aroused a lot of discussion.
The two of them ran for half an hour just now, and many guests who were resting and chatting in the house also came out to watch. After all, horse racing is still very entertaining in sports, and it is not inferior to the track and field events in the sports games. Even if I didn’t come out, I would still take a few glances in front of the window.
Chen Xing, who had just been invited by Kayla, suddenly became the center of everyone's discussion.
"He is still a Chinese. I don't know if he is from the grassland. I heard that only the grassland people in China are better at riding horses."
"I have been to China, and there are many horse farms in the north."
"China has also become more powerful. I saw on the Internet that their cities are not inferior to Oslo at all, and not just one or two cities are like this."
He didn't even dare to say that he thought Chinese cities were better.
Europeans are very fond of traveling, which should be related to the small size of their countries. Northern Europe even has a large area covered with glaciers that cannot be cultivated and inhabited, as well as the terrifying polar night.
Therefore, when winter comes, people in Northern Europe like to go out for a walk.
In the past, no one wanted to go to China. After all, China was so demonized at that time. For their own safety, many people did not dare to go to China even if they traveled to Southeast Asia.
But now that the Internet has developed, more and more Chinese people are surfing the Internet. Gradually, more and more Chinese national conditions that are inconsistent with propaganda are appearing on the international Internet.
Only then did people discover that China is such a country that welcomes foreigners, has a low crime rate, and is so developed.
Therefore, there has been a "Chinese fever" in Northern Europe in recent years. Even if they have never been there, they will take the initiative to learn about some Chinese attractions, such as Rongcheng, Mountain City, Yanjing...
Yes, for many Europeans, Chengdu is the place they most want to visit, not Yanjing Shanghai.
"Although Kayla is naughty, she still has a good eye for making friends."
"Haha, she has been living with her grandfather in the past few years. When I brought her here this year, I was worried that she would not adapt to the rhythm of Oslo, but she really gave me a surprise. She is indeed a child of Olaf's family." …………
When Chen Xing and the others returned to the big house, the strange and doubtful looks he expected did not appear. Instead, they were all friendly, encouraging looks, and even the admiration of some children.
Norwegians like sports very much, whether it is ice sports or physical sports.
Even if they can't play ice sports in Oslo, they will still find time to go hiking. It is rumored that every Norwegian family has their own house on the mountain. Danes often say that Norwegians are 'monkeys on the mountain'.
This shows their passion for sports.
Horse racing is also a sport they like very much, and Chen Xing’s grace just now really impressed many people.
As soon as Keira came back, she was taken to change clothes. As the protagonist of today's birthday party, her parents and elders would never allow a Nordic lady to appear in this grand birthday party wearing a masculine outfit. p>
Solin took Chen Xing to a window on the second floor and said.
"This is the most beautiful window in this house. Of course, this is my personal feeling. What do you think?"
"Well, it's really good."
This window is located in the corridor on the second floor. Looking out from here, you can see the boundless Oslo Fjord, which is really like the sea, and there is a looming island in the distance, shaped like a turtle.
"What island is that?"
"Can you see the island? Where?" Thorin looked around in front of the window, but couldn't see anything.
Chen Xing shrugged his shoulders and said, "Maybe your eyesight is too poor."
"Maybe... but if you can see the island, it should be nkkholen. It is a small tourist island with shops and hotels. I visited it a few years ago, but I don't know if it is still open now."
In fact, there is another county across the fjord, so there is no need to tell Chen Xing. Solin is sure that what Chen Xing saw was not this county.
Otherwise, it would be too outrageous. Even with a telescope, you can’t see the shadow on the other side.
At this time, someone shouted: "Thorin, Xing, come down and drink together."
Norway has implemented strict alcohol prohibition laws for minors. Once the repression of more than ten years breaks out in adulthood, it can no longer be suppressed. At parties in Norway, you can often see some young people in their twenties drinking crazily.
.
Thorin agreed and left quickly.
Chen Xing followed slowly and used the navigation on his mobile phone to find the island he saw.
Wow, it’s really far.
Can you see so clearly now?
nkkholen is an uninhabited island, but an uninhabited island does not mean that there is really no one on it. There are many holiday cabins for Oslo people, and there are also hotels and shops for tourists. However, the rating is slightly low, and many foreign tourists said that they cannot pass the normal
Go up there and play.
One of the comments said: "You have to find a friend who lives in Oslo first, preferably someone who has a yacht at home, or preferably someone who has his own holiday cabin on it, so that you can truly experience the island holiday life.<
/p>
If you are a tourist, the service and convenience of the hotel will drive you crazy. Friends, if you want to go here, you must first know that this is just an ordinary beachfront hotel with no beach service.
No bikini girls, no bikini girls!"
He said this sentence twice.
Looking for a bikini on a Nordic beach?
I'm afraid I'm not crazy.
If you want to see bikinis, go to Hawaii, Bali, or even the Chinese Hainan Island, which are more reliable than the Nordic islands.
Noticing someone walking towards him, Chen Xing put away his phone.
From the moment he entered the house, he met many people who greeted him. Some people pointed at his riding movements, and some people liked his free and informal horse racing style.
But the person who came to say hello this time was different from the previous ones.
She is a beautiful woman who looks like a big sister?
That’s right!
Yamato Nadeshiko.
The woman in front of me is just like the most ideal woman in the island culture. Just looking at her smile makes me feel very gentle. Her figure is also different from the bulging forward and backward style of modern young people. She is very voluptuous.
But it doesn’t feel fat.
Just right - this word flashed through Chen Xing's mind.
"Hello."
"Well, hello."
"I was on that track when you were competing just now. I'm not very good at riding a horse, so a few gentlemen were teaching me. The perspective from riding a horse is really interesting, especially after seeing you riding a horse.
."
"Haha, you're so honored."
Chen Xing is quite thick-skinned, but he still doesn't get used to being praised by a beauty with such conditions.
It seems that it is still necessary to study how to be cool.
Wouldn’t this attract beautiful women?
"I heard them say, did you learn your skills on the grasslands of China?"
"Yes."
"I admire the grassland people of your country very much. If you have time later, you can come and visit me. I live near Holmenkollen. There is a famous ski resort here and it is a top attraction for many tourists. Then
You can also teach me how to ride a horse."
Chen Xing nodded: "Of course if you have time."
He seems to have heard of Holmenkollen, but it's not because this place is a ski resort - he doesn't know how to ski.
He knows this place because Holmenkollen is the gateway to a famous mountain recreation area. This recreation area is the starting point of one of the best scenic hiking routes in Norway. Chen Xing must visit this place. p>
Hiking, traveling, and photographing scenery.
This is the lifestyle of a landscape photographer.
