Chapter 278 WinterLoveStory
The highlight of traveling to Mohe is of course not the real urban area, but the small villages on the edge.
The village that is truly located in the northernmost part of the national border has an appearance that is closer to the northern border in imaginary fantasy novels than the urban area.
Early the next morning, the chartered car driver who came to pick them up was still driving his beloved pickup truck.
The speed of the car was not very fast along the way. Of course, it was indeed not fast in such a snowy day.
"Two kilometers ahead is the Christmas Village. Do you two want to play for a while and take photos or something?"
The master held the steering wheel and asked with a smile.
He didn't seem to be in a hurry, and he had a sense of relaxation unique to locals.
Su Chengyi tilted his head and asked Chen Jinzhi for his opinion.
Chen Jinzhi nodded and asked:
"Will there be reindeer here?"
"Yes! It must be there. And Santa Claus is a Finn, but he can understand most of what you say.
That's right. , there is a fee for taking a photo with him, you two pay attention, it’s five yuan a photo.”
The master was afraid that they would be deceived, so he turned around to remind them.
Su Chengyi heard it funny and agreed.
The wheels trudged forward in the snow, and when we looked up again, we saw a forest of white birches.
The master parked the car on the side of the road and signaled that they could go down and play.
He himself did not get out of the car, but sat comfortably in the driver's seat smoking.
Thinking about it, he has driven this road hundreds of times at least, and he probably has no interest in it.
Su Chengyi jumped out of the car holding the camera.
The straight tree trunks stood tall and strong in the wind, covered with a thin layer of desolate snow, which stood out clearly in the vast snow.
Walking in such a birch forest gives you the illusion of being in another world.
The clear sunlight reflects the shadows of the trees, and the treetops stand under the blue sky.
Chen Jinzhi stood in the midst, his face as pure as jade.
Su Chengyi quietly raised the camera and pressed the shutter.
But he obviously underestimated the C-position player's lens sense. When he picked up the camera, the opponent had already turned around in advance.
Su Chengyi looked at this photo and thought, no wonder Chen Jinzhi's fans call her a "lens radar".
Fortunately, although the capture failed, the photo is still very beautiful.
Su Chengyi's photography skills are naturally very average, but he can't stand up to the top models. The finished product looks like the result of a four-digit one-stop service in a professional photo studio.
While he was admiring each photo, he suddenly discovered an uninvited guest in the corner of the last photo.
I doubted my eyes for a moment.
Su Chengyi raised his head hesitantly, and it turned out that the guy was actually standing next to a birch tree, staring motionlessly.
The eyes met, and both sides were very curious about each other for a while.
Seeing Su Chengyi staring at the other side, Chen Jinzhi felt a little confused, so he followed his gaze.
This time her expression was also a little stagnant, which was really rare.
"Is this a deer?"
Chen Jinzhi's tone was full of self-doubt.
Su Chengyi raised the camera and took another close-up of it, trying hard not to smile.
This is also the first time he has seen this species in real life. While he feels novel, he also inexplicably feels that this guy has a naive temperament that is incompatible with this world.
“It seems like there are no horns, and it’s so fat.”
Chen Jinzhi observed carefully.
Su Chengyi finally laughed out loud.
"Hahaha, this is a silly roe deer"
"What?!"
Chen Jinzhi, a native boy from the south, was shocked by this.
"Is it really a stupid roe deer?"
"Well, don't you think it looks particularly like the puppy that was stung by a bee?"
Su Chengyi zoomed in on the camera A close-up photo of the face was handed to Chen Jinzhi to see.
Chen Jinzhi also felt like laughing inexplicably, but she couldn't help but ask:
"Is the scientific name of Silly Roe Deer the same as Silly Roe Deer?"
"Seriously, it should be called Siberian roe deer, and some say dwarf deer."
Su Chengyi tilted his head and thought for a while, then said:
"It belongs to the family Cervidae of the order Artiodactylum, and is a close relative of the deer. . When frightened, the tail will explode and turn into a white butt. If it is a female, it will be a love fart. "
"I heard that in the past, when hunters hunted, they didn't use guns. They just used sticks to hit the silly roe deer, and they didn't even have to chase them.
Because after a while, It will run back on its own to see what hit it so hard.”
All the stories about this guy seemed to have a sense of joy. Chen Jinzhi buried his face on Su Chengyi's shoulder and trembled with laughter.
I don’t know if I heard the two terrifying upright apes laughing at it, but the silly roe deer actually walked over slowly with wise steps.
Not wanting to scare it, Su Chengyi put down the camera and squatted down.
This is also a piece of trivia that he once learned. First attract its attention, and then squat down, and it will be surprised: Eh! Why has he become smaller? !
Then he threw himself into the trap.
Sure enough, the silly roe deer stopped in front of the two of them, tilting his head and looking at them carefully.
The opportunity was precious, Su Chengyi tried to reach out and give it a handful, only to find that the hair on its head and forehead was covered with snow.
Looks like we are diving headfirst into the snow! I don’t know what the picture is.
Perhaps it was because the weather was cold and the hair was freezing, but it actually felt very good when pulled out. Su Chengyi originally thought it would be the rough and hard feel of felt.
“But this guy is very friendly to humans. When I was a child, I read that someone passed out from freezing in the wild in winter. If you encounter a silly roe deer at this time, it will lie on you and use its body to help you warm. Many people were saved in this way.”
Su Chengyi gently patted the snow off its head and talked about this rumor, which may be true or false, with a smile.
“Well, judging from the performance of this one, it’s very credible.”
Chen Jinzhi pinched its fat gills, and it looked more beautiful than seeing a real reindeer. happy.
The two of them gave the naive Northeastern mythical beast a good meal, and then they got up and continued walking to the Christmas Village until it scampered back to the forest.
As we approached the village, there were serious reindeer out for business.
Compared to the mythical beast just now, the reindeer looks much taller and more handsome.
The antlers of a reindeer are majestic, but they are also docile and can be touched casually.
Rubbing its thick fur, Su Chengyi raised his eyes and looked around. The Christmas Village here seemed to be a relatively commercial village.
There are many projects for tourists to experience, such as splashing water to make ice, horse-drawn sledges, etc.
Most of the horses pulling the sledges are ponies, but they look well-kept, with smooth manes and a bit of air.
After coming, Su Chengyi decided to experience it.
The sledge is covered with a large floral cloth that is very characteristic of Northeast China. The bottom should be padded with cotton, which makes it very soft to sit on.
The driver was sitting in front, and the pony was running happily.
For tourists’ experience, this route goes into the woods, giving it a feeling of the snow country scenery in the 1980s.
Chen Jinzhi beside him was shaken by the jolt, and Su Chengyi simply reached out and hugged her.
He heard her whispering thank you in his ear, mixed with the ringing of the pony's bells, and disappeared in the cold wind in the forest.
After running down, the scenery was pretty good, but it was freezing and there was frost on my eyebrows and eyelashes.
Su Chengyi wiped Chen Jinzhi with a scarf with body temperature on her chest. She didn't put on any makeup today, and her face was as clean as a piece of jade.
Before continuing north to another village, the two paid a visit to the Finnish Santa Claus.
The house is a typical European-style building. The firewood is burning brightly, and the temperature inside the house is warm and solid. Santa Claus, wearing a classic red and white suit, is taking a nap in his rocking chair.
Su Chengyi and Chen Jinzhi walked next to him and did not disturb him. They just sat down on the bench and warmed themselves quietly by the fire.
"Cookies?"
Unexpectedly, Santa Claus spoke first in the end. His voice was older than Su Cheng expected, which made people doubt his whiteness for a moment. Is the beard glued on or does it really belong to him?
He didn’t know when he woke up. He pointed to a plate of cookies on the table with a smile and asked them in Chinese if they wanted to eat.
"Okay, thank you. Is this chocolate butter?"
Su Chengyi answered in English, picked up a piece and handed it to Chen Jinzhi's mouth.
She lowered her head and took a small bite. The bear-shaped biscuit was missing an ear.
"Yes, yes. Would you like some hot coffee?"
Santa Claus did not expect to meet someone who could communicate well today, and he immediately became energetic.
"No, thank you. I'd like to ask, is your job just to sit here and chat and take photos with others?"
Su Chengyi looked around his working environment and didn't see what else he could do here. things.
His question was indeed a bit offensive, so Chen Jinzhi squeezed his finger gently.
"Aha, young man. Now is not the time for me to get busy with work."
Santa Claus smiled heartily and motioned for him to look at the calendar hanging on the wall.
Also, next month is the Christmas month.
By then there should be more people coming here.
"At that time, you can write greeting cards, make handmade gifts, draw pictures, make wishes, anything here!"
He took out a lot of fancy props from the desk to display.
“Okay, okay, I understand.”
Su Chengyi quickly stopped the overly excited old man.
“So, you are a couple?”
Santa Claus returned to his chair. Only his eyes could be seen under the cover of his white beard, but his intention to gossip was still very obvious.
Su Chengyi nodded in acquiescence.
“Christmas gift!”
Santa Claus magically took out a classic red and white striped candy cane from his breast pocket and handed it to Chen Jinzhi.
“Congratulations, for your winter love story. (Congratulations, for your winter love story.)”
He narrowed his eyes and smiled, and tugged on his beard again.
“By the way, my beard is real.”
Although Santa Claus does not look very professional, his winter love story clearly made Chen Jinzhi feel better A few points.
For the first time, she decided to eat the entire candy cane.
Su Chengyi took a bite and found that it was extremely sweet. It looked like imported candy.
Only Wai Nuo Keren can accept such sweetness.
When we returned to the entrance of the village, the driver was already waiting there in advance, waving his gloves to say hello from a distance.
“The northernmost village is ahead, and you can see the national border if you walk around.
There are many people taking photos and checking in. There are also the northernmost outpost and the northernmost post office. You can just watch and play.
For rice, I can find food around the B&B, and the taste is not much different.
Look at the price first. If it exceeds this amount, you will give me your name and say that it is the person introduced by Zhao Laosi. Do you understand? "
Before getting off the car, the driver grabbed Su Chengyi's hand and explained a lot.
Su Chengyi nodded obediently, but he was not sure whether he heard it or not.
Because his attention has been completely attracted by the scenery in front of him, it is difficult to move his eyes even half a minute.
In the distance are the stretching Daxinganling Mountains, showing a dull gray-black color in the twilight.
Signal towers stand in the endless snowfield, which is proof of the existence of modern technology on this land.
Beyond these are old, low-rise private houses, with a black fence surrounding them to form a small, square courtyard, and smoke rising leisurely over such private houses.
All the colors suddenly faded here.
Su Chengyi suddenly came up with such a random idea.
The B&B they booked was on the edge of the village. When the boss led the two of them to the door of the room, Su Chengyi was a little surprised.
It turned out to be a Russian-style wooden cabin.
Pine flooring, clean and tidy, with private bathroom inside.
It is completely different from the large flower bed in Northeast China he imagined.
But suddenly I felt a little regretful. I heard that Kang Lao was warm
The boss checked it inside and out and made sure there was nothing wrong before he said with a smile:
"Here This is a newly built house for my family this year. You are from the south, so I’m afraid you won’t be able to sleep in our own place, so I’ll arrange it for you here.”
Although it’s a little bit. Unfortunately, Su Chengyi went out to see his boss off and carried his suitcase into the house.
This house is really built on the edge of the village. Living here is like living in a paradise far away from human beings.
When he returned to the room, Chen Jinzhi was looking out the window in a daze.
Su Chengyi poured a cup of hot water and handed it to her, then moved his eyes away.
It is already evening, and the sunset here is not warm, but soft and dreamy purple.
The sunset is cold and the twilight is soft, and everything at this time has fallen into a drunken haze.
Between heaven and earth, it seems that only each other is left standing side by side.
Su Chengyi was silent for a while, then suddenly said:
“It feels a bit like an Antarctic scientific research station.”
At this time, he thought of a related documentary, It records the lonely and closed life of scientific expedition personnel.
Extremely bad weather and magnificent glaciers. After watching this documentary, Su Chengyi believed that the North and South Pole, as the poles of the earth, are indeed the ultimate journey for explorers.
"Teacher Su, are you sure you want to talk to me about this now?"
Chen Jinzhi put the water glass back into his hand, reached out to untie his hair tie, and his long hair fell from his shoulders and brushed against him fingertips.
"I'm going to take a shower. I touched a lot of small animals today."
"Okay."
Su Chengyi drank the rest of the water in the glass. The bottom hit the wooden table and made a dull sound.
"You should wash it too."
Chen Jinzhi took out his pajamas from the suitcase and put them on the bed.
Last night in downtown Mohe, the owner of the dance hall was so drunk that he fell unconscious as soon as he arrived at the hotel.
Chen Jinzhi spent a long time moving him to the bed. He really didn't have the energy to change clothes anymore, so he slept in his clothes all night.
Su Chengyi said "Okay", stepped forward to take the pajamas, and suddenly realized something was wrong.
Chen Jinzhi was sorting out the bottles of skin care products in his box when he looked up and caught a glimpse of this man's extremely embarrassed look.
I guessed in an instant that he must be thinking about some messy things.
"There is also a bathroom in the next room."
She spoke leisurely.
“Oh.”
Su Chengyi hugged her pajamas and ran away.
