Chapter 379 Napping by the fire, reminiscing about youth
After the brief daytime when the sun comes out at three or four o'clock, the sky becomes darker after that. According to normal understanding, it can be said to be night after the sun goes down.
The scattered light snow gradually turned into heavy snow like goose feathers.
The owner of the wooden house hotel went out to a nearby warehouse to get something. When he came back, he almost turned into a snowman. His wife helped him pat the snowflakes off his hat in a funny way, and asked the guests next to him. p>
"Does it often snow here?"
"Isn't it normal to snow in winter? But it's hard to be as lively as today here, haha. I remember the last time it happened was at this time last year."
This bicycle endurance race held in the dark is considered one of the top events. If the viewing environment was not so difficult and the race was held in the dark, there would definitely be more spectators.
The owner of the wooden house is a fat man with a beard and very enthusiastic. Their whole family lives in this wooden house. The person who checked Chen Xing in before was their daughter, a 24-year-old unmarried doctor.
It is difficult for Chen Xing to understand why the doctor appears in this place and is on the stage?
But in the end, I figured it out. I just had nothing to do after work and stayed at home to help my parents as much as possible.
It’s very lively at night.
The fireplace is burning red inside, and there are a lot of firewood outside. There are nearly thirty people in the entire wooden house hotel today, half of them are crowded here, chatting around the fireplace in a semicircle, and the other people are either in the room.
, or you don’t like such a lively environment, so you can drink tea and read a book at the table next to you.
The hotel has WiFi, which is convenient for people who bring computers to watch TV.
The 70-inch TV is playing a Norwegian TV series, which is considered a school drama. The quality of the drama is good, and the female characters in it are all beautiful.
Chen Xing was one of the people sitting around chatting, listening to people telling stories about him and his ex-girlfriend.
"...That's it. I came to Iceland three years ago because of her. Although this relationship has not come to fruition, it does not affect my love for this country. After all, who would refuse someone to just dig a hole in the ground? It's possible.
Where is the place that caused the volcanic eruption?"
"Haha."
Everyone applauds this British man’s love.
Because of a relationship on the Internet, I came to this unfamiliar place and now I have settled here. Is this the same as falling in love with a person or a city?
Chen Xing couldn't help but think of his previous online dating.
A few years ago, online dating was very popular among students. Although Chen Xing had a girlfriend in real life at that time, it did not affect that he also had a good sister online. He never needed to recharge his membership or phone bills.<
/p>
But later she let it go because she found out that Chen Xing had a girlfriend.
Alas, pure love in student days.
Looking at this British man, he shouldn’t be too old. He would have just graduated three years ago?
In this way, everyone tells their own stories, mostly love stories, mainly because everyone likes to hear them, and the scene is very joyful and lively. If someone tells some serious stories, it will definitely affect the current atmosphere.
So Chen Xing also told the story of himself and his first love, and a few years later when he went alone under the Eiffel Tower in Paris to fulfill his promise.
As expected, his story also received a lot of applause.
Chen Xing's language organization is already excellent, but the writer's ability has not really been demonstrated in front of the audience. He used it to enrich the plot of his first love in front of more than ten people. If anyone can record this story told by Chen Xing,
Come down and add some branch lines, maybe you can make a youth movie.
However, this stage of junior high school must be changed to high school, otherwise it will be difficult to pass the examination.
Putting down the mobile phone on a cold night, a group of strangers sat around the warm fire and told stories about their past. This atmosphere made Chen Xing enjoy it very much.
Looking back, there are people behind me who don’t want to sleep but are reading and watching TV on the first floor.
Although this wooden hotel is far away from human settlements, I don’t feel scared at all.
The smile on Chen Xing's face never faded. He drank the free beer provided by the boss and listened to the stories. It was ten o'clock in the evening before he knew it.
It's time to sleep.
It's just past six o'clock in China now, and the sun reappears in China after disappearing in Iceland for a few hours.
Chen Xing was in a good mood today. He hesitated before going to bed, but finally acted out of kindness and did not disturb Zhou Peng and the others in the WeChat group, otherwise it would be bad for him to be woken up by them one day when he was sleeping.
In the dry and warm wooden house, Chen Xing slept comfortably for a night.
Many people staying in this hotel left early the next morning to go home. When Chen Xing got up, half of the people in the hotel had already checked out. The boss's daughter had also left to go to work in the hospital in the city. Now
It is the landlady who checks out passengers.
Remembering that Chen Xing was the traveler we chatted with last night, she said: "Are you checking out now? There is also a beautiful scenery across the glacier. Do you want to go and see it too? It is not convenient to go back to the city at night.
Can you stay with us again?"
"Across the glacier? What's there?"
"It's a mountain. After crossing the river and climbing up the mountain, you can see a very vast area and a small waterfall. Unfortunately, it's midnight now, so you may not be able to see anything."
The landlady sighed.
She had forgotten about it just now. There really weren’t many people who wanted to travel in the polar night. Even the Icelanders went to other countries outside the Arctic Circle. No one said they would go climbing or hiking in the dark.
Chen Xing mentally wrote down what she said, but he didn't choose to go now.
Maybe when I come to Iceland in the summer, I can go see the vast world that the landlady mentioned.
Chen Xing also remembered something and said: "I haven't finished the photos I took last night. The room was so comfortable. I fell asleep after returning from the first floor... I will send you the photos later?" When chatting last night, Chen Xing also took a lot of photos. After coloring the photos, he will send them to the boss lady and the others. The boss promised to make them into postcards for free and send them to the tourists who stayed here yesterday.
"It doesn't matter, you can send it anytime."
Iceland's postal service is very advanced and doesn't cost anything.
In other words, the postal service across Northern Europe is like this. Every winter, the postal system across Northern Europe, especially Sweden, is fighting a silent war... because at this time, people all over the world are writing letters to
Santa Claus.
Is there really a Santa Claus?
If we talk about the Santa Claus in the story, he puts gifts into the socks hung by children on the bedside on Christmas Eve. Then there is such a Santa Claus, and that is the children's parents.
There are also Santa Clauses in reality, usually disguised by postmen from several Nordic countries.
Iceland, Norway, and Sweden have dedicated Christmas inboxes. If children have letters to send to Santa Claus, it depends on whether the address you fill in is 'Iceland Santa Claus' or 'Swedish Santa Claus'.<
/p>
Anyway, if you are lucky, someone will imitate Santa Claus and reply to you.
The topic has gone too far.
Chen Xing had already checked out of the room and was returning to Reykjavik in the car of a guest who also stayed at the hotel yesterday.
It's a couple... Yes, it's the couple who deceived Chen Xing yesterday.
Chen Xing sat in the back seat of the car and asked after getting in: "I didn't know you were from Reykjavik too."
"Iceland is only so big, and half of the Icelanders live in Reykjavik, so don't be surprised if you meet any Icelander who says they are from Reykjavik. Haha, you were a little resentful towards me yesterday because
Have you tried the glacier water yourself?"
The man who spoke was the man. As soon as he said it, Chen Xing was okay, but his girlfriend frowned.
"What do you mean? Is there something wrong with that water?"
Chen Xing quickly shook his head: "There is no such thing, I have no resentment..."
The man said to his girlfriend: "Just yesterday, you were curious whether the water in the glacier was sea water or glacier water. Didn't we just try it?"
"Yes, isn't it fresh water?"
"No, it's sea water. I saw that the handsome guy behind was also very curious, so I said it was fresh water. I wanted to see if he would take a sip himself. Haha, it's a pity that I didn't see it and was dragged away by you.
."
Well done!
Chen Xingxin said.
But he still shook his head: "Haven't you tried it all? I haven't tried it. It seems that I was right. How can a place with seals be ordinary river water?"
"Really, that's a pity." The man shook his head slightly.
Hum...
Chen Xing snorted in his heart. His sixth sense was very sharp. If these two people had not left yesterday and stood looking at Chen Xing from a distance, then he would have felt it and would not have gone to pick up Binghe.
Water to taste.
It took nearly four hours to drive to Reykjavik.
As soon as Halloween was over, the scary atmosphere on the street suddenly dissipated a lot. The couple dropped him off at the street entrance of the hotel where Chen Xing used to live. The pedestrian street where he was was not easy to drive into, so Chen Xing had to go there.
This is dozens of meters long.
Not only is there less of a scary atmosphere, there are also fewer pedestrians.
It is estimated that only in the evening after Icelanders get off work, this street with many bars will become lively again.
Chen Xing is still planning to stay in the hotel he stayed in before. He is a person who doesn't like big changes after getting used to it. He stayed in this hotel for a few days and found it good. Now that he returns to Reykjavik, he still stays here.
A hotel.
Even if he really comes to Iceland again in the summer, Chen Xing will probably come to this place to live.
Some passers-by were in a hurry, but these were locals living in Reykjavik. They knew what they were going to do, so they traveled with purpose and walked fast.
Otherwise, wouldn’t it be nice to enjoy heating at home in such cold weather?
Those people who walk slowly and take photos while walking, like Chen Xing, are 100% pure tourists.
When he was about to arrive at the hotel, Chen Xing was holding a camera to capture the beauty opposite him. Suddenly, a strange cry appeared behind him, and Chen Xing felt like something was touching his back.
Chen Xing's scalp went numb and he looked back.
A dark skull is swinging slightly, and the spring connected behind it is clearly visible.
"Fuck!"
Although this costume was of very low quality and would be thrown out by the owner of the haunted house if placed in a haunted house, the situation and the strange screams really shocked Chen Xing. Now
It's been more than ten seconds and my heart is still pounding.
Underneath the skull is a black sheet.
Chen Xing was impressed by this skull. At that time, he thought who could be frightened by such an ugly thing?
The result was that I was really scared.
Chen Xing took a deep breath, then let out a long sigh of relief, and reinstalled the skull, so that when the next unlucky guy passes by, the foam skull will pop up and scare people.
The sound alone is not scary, and the sight of the skull is not scary either. The combination of the two can scare people who are not prepared.
Chen Xing ignored this episode. After returning to the hotel and booking a room, Chen Xing began to adjust the color of the photos taken last night. For some people with special requirements, Chen Xing even helped them with free photos of their bodies, facial expressions, etc.
.
Now a photo of Chen Xing can be sold for a sky-high price in a gallery.
But in reality, many of the photos he takes for people are free. Anyway, these are things he took by the way when he was practicing his hand skills. It would be a bit wasteful to delete them directly, so he might as well send them to the person in the photos. p>
Without the original film, the compressed photo can’t actually do much.
After sending all the pictures taken in the hotel yesterday to the owner of the wooden house hotel, Chen Xing began to make a new travel video.
There are quite a lot of stories in Iceland these days. Not to mention the bicycle race he attended and the things he encountered after staying at a hotel in a nearby scenic spot. There is a lot worth sharing about Halloween.
His fans don’t know this yet.
Otherwise, we will definitely be shouting for the Chinese New Year.
I just posted a video a few days ago, and I posted it again today. Is this the anchor I followed last month? Sometimes Chen Xing is still very fond of his fans. When he thinks that he will surprise them by continuously updating videos, he edited it
The speed is much faster.
A few hours later, Chen Xing’s work was quickly reviewed and published on the Internet.
Different from the previously released videos from Norway and Sweden, Chen Xing's video looks like it was taken at night. They can't see clearly many of the scenery in the distance, especially the shocking waterfall. If you can't see clearly, half of it will be lost.
Fun.
But Chen Xing’s narration adds a lot of color to this video.
He has relatively few narrations in his travel videos, because many of Chen Xing’s videos focus on the scenery on the road, and listening to it with pure music BGM is very immersive.
But this routine is not suitable in Iceland because they can’t see much scenery.
Therefore, Chen Xing shared some of his experiences and experiences living in Iceland with his fans through reading.
It works.
Many people know the warmth of Iceland’s ice and snow from Chen Xing’s words.
At this time, Chen Xing still didn’t know that because he spared no effort to show his love for Iceland in his speech, he also said that he would stay in Iceland until after Christmas before returning home.
Some fans began to study how to apply for a visa to Iceland.
