Chapter 610 The Meaning of Travel (6)
As someone who loves watching various high-definition 4K documentaries, Su Chengyi feels that he is not unfamiliar with such scenes.
But in fact, only those who have seen it with their own eyes can appreciate how shocking such a spectacle is.
Butler Han on the other side of the boat was the first to shout. His position was closest to the group of whales.
Then the tour guide shouted equally excitedly:
"Oh my God, look! It's a group of baleen whales!"
The splashing sea water was cold, and Chu Qingmian subconsciously shrank her neck and turned around in a daze.
The scenery that fell into my eyes made me breathless.
Several whales of different sizes swam freely in the sea water, leaping high, swinging their tails and falling, creating a spray of snow-like water when they fell into the water.
The sea is the sky turned upside down.
Chu Qingmian couldn't help but think this way.
When the whale jumps out of the water, it seems like it is swimming in the sky, and it seems that it can touch the clouds.
There is a fish in the North Ming Dynasty. Its name is Kun. Kun is so big that it is unknown how many thousands of miles it is.
The ancients thousands of years ago must have seen such a poetic and romantic behemoth, so that they could have such a great imagination, leaving behind the poem "The morning bacteria don't know Hui Shuo, and the crickets don't know Spring and Autumn".
“The clouds are clear, and the blue sky is negative, and then the south is south, and it is suitable for the south.”
Su Chengyi's voice sounded behind her.
"Based on the habits of our small class representatives, I must be memorizing "Xiaoyaoyou" right now."
Chu Qingmian was just about to turn around when he smiled again stop.
“That’s it, don’t move, I’ll take a photo.”
“Okay!”
Chu Qingmian turned her back to him, nodded, and responded obediently.
Su Chengyi picked up the camera and closed one eye.
In fact, at this time, the focus should originally be on the whale leaping high.
Such a scene is so rare that even the most experienced tour guide, who has been out to sea thousands of times, is rarely excited and can't help but explain to Butler Han and Uncle Gao how to identify the position where a whale will jump out of the water.
However, Su Chengyi paused slightly, and finally focused on Chu Qingmian's back.
No matter how spectacular and shocking the scene is in the background, she will still be the only heroine in the shot.
On the way back from the whale watching boat, the tour guide kept talking excitedly and expressing his feelings to the tourists.
“I haven’t seen such a landscape for a long time. It should be said that I haven’t seen such a perfect whale leap since I started working as a tour guide. I’m really lucky!”
“It’s really great. "Yeah!"
Butler Han nodded frequently and his face turned red. He didn't know whether it was because of the sea breeze or simply because he was too excited.
Even Uncle Gao, who always had only one expression, nodded and took a long breath, obviously feeling very excited.
Su Chengyi and Chu Qingmian sat at the stern of the boat, looking through the photos they had just taken one by one.
"You're so lucky, Su Chengyi! Those who didn't know it thought the background was P, it's so pretty!"
Chu Qingmian lay on his lap, excited He clenched his fists.
“It seems that some people were just saying that it doesn’t matter even if you can’t see whales.”
Su Chengyi laughed and tentatively put his fingers into her collar. The latter shivered from the cold and retracted into her large down jacket hat like a caterpillar.
“Of course I’m very happy to see it. I think I’m so lucky.”
Chu Qingmian smiled cheerfully, her skin that was a little red from the wind looked like Like a fragile porcelain doll.
"Yes."
Su Chengyi nodded, his eyes falling back to the sea level.
Only when you really see whales can you truly realize that they are not just creatures from the end of the world or from historical legends, nor are they always separated from humans by water and sky, and are far away in time and space.
They really live on this earth, on the seabed, in glaciers, and in many unknown corners.
The behemoth sings songs that humans cannot understand, swims alone and freely on the deep sea floor, witnesses the changes in life on the earth, and fish-tails shuttle through the thickest river of history.
In their eyes, humans are probably no different from other surviving land overlords, just ordinary two-legged beasts.
That’s why they generously performed their best and most elegant whale leap in front of the expectant eyes of humans, winning cheers and thanks.
"When we were having dinner last night, the owner of the restaurant told me that if you see a whale for the first time, you can tell it what you are thinking, and it will understand!
The owner said that he went to sea once when he was a child , dropped his most cherished toy into the sea, and was very sad, so he made a wish to the humpback whale he saw that day. < br>
Unexpectedly, when he returned home the next day, his fisherman’s father’s fishing net happened to catch his toy!”
Chu Qingmian lay on the railing beside the boat, He said mysteriously:
"Su Chengyi, do you think it's magical or not?"
"Really."
Su Chengyi nodded, noncommittal.
He had never heard of such rumors. They were probably made by the restaurant owner to make the pretty girl happy.
But speaking of it, the boss told the most common kind of beautiful fairy tales, just to seek good luck, which is understandable.
“Yes!”
Chu Qingmian twisted her body happily.
“I thought I couldn’t talk to the whale! I didn’t expect that I still got the chance.”
“Then what did you just say to it?”
"Well, this shouldn't be ineffective, right?"
Chu Qingmian wrinkled his face and hesitated.
"Of course not, it's not a wish."
Su Chengyi was quite curious in his heart, but he naturally spoke firmly.
“Okay.”
Chu Qingmian smiled sheepishly.
“There was just a little whale that was much smaller than the other whales, and it was always around the boat, so I squatted down and told it to live well and not to be caught or harmed by illegal fishing and hunting. ”
"Are you talking about such a serious thing?"
Su Chengyi wanted to laugh, and briefly raised the corners of his mouth.
“That’s not entirely true.”
The sea breeze blew across her face, Chu Qingmian shrank into her plush hat again, and then said in a low voice:
"I also said that if you encounter a strange whale one day, it will ignore you no matter what you say, and it will not talk to you, like a lonely freak.
Just remember to flick your tail and say hello, that would be great. "
After saying these childish words, she rolled her eyes as if she was amused by herself.
"Oh, I even said I wouldn't tell you. ”
It was really a childish and naive idea, like a plot that would only appear in a fairy tale book. Chu Qingmian originally thought that the science man next to her would definitely come up with a set of scientific principles to laugh at her. .
Unexpectedly, after a while, the other party just said "Hmm" slightly. Chu Qingmian raised his eyes in surprise. Su Chengyi rested his elbow on the railing and looked at the skyline in front of him casually. .
"Since Su Chengyi will meet Chu Qingmian, it is not surprising that ALICE will meet another 52 Hz whale in the world."
He said slowly.
After dinner in the evening, the four of them took a walk by the pool in the city center. There were many swans in the pool. Tourists and citizens broke the bread in their hands and fed them to them.
The street lights are dim yellow, reflecting the unique Nordic town scenery, leaving pedestrians' unhurried footprints on the snow.
Su Chengyi originally held Fu Rui with one hand and put the other hand loosely in his pocket. After seeing these plump swans in the pond, Su Chengyi couldn't help but silently changed to two hands.
Otherwise, I am afraid that this guy's hunting instinct will suddenly be aroused, and he will scare people into fear when he rushes forward, severely destroying this peaceful and peaceful scene.
But it was obvious that he was overthinking it, because this guy was not interested in the swan in the pond at all, but he was quite interested in the old man selling hot dogs next to him, and it took a lot of effort to drag him away.
In such winter weather, most local residents prefer to go home and have a good rest around the fireplace.
Only tourists with no energy will wander outside in the cold wind.
Added to this, of course, was the group who had to walk their dogs.
“So it’s so difficult to go out to visit Furui, Uncle Han.”
Chu Qingmian’s whole body was wrapped in the hood of the down jacket, and she made a muffled voice. Still full of sympathy.
“Yes.”
Butler Han’s voice also sounded very weak when he answered.
"I'll do it."
In the end, Uncle Gao rolled up his sleeves and raised his hand to take the dog leash from Su Chengyi's hand.
Su Chengyi shook his head and replied:
"It's okay, as long as there is no hot dog stall popping up in front."
"I want to eat hot dogs. ”
Chu Qingmian stepped on a footprint in the snow and answered.
Su Chengyi couldn't help but think of that very classic joke.
You can have some snacks! --dessert? What snack?
Contrary to expectations, there was actually a stall in front, but it was just selling tacos.
Su Chengyi originally decided to take a detour, but it was obvious that Furui's nose was much smarter than a human's, so this kid had deliberately dragged him this way early in the morning.
"I'll buy a few. Let's have some to warm ourselves up."
Butler Han took the initiative when he saw this.
Su Chengyi raised his head and looked at the road sign. There happened to be a park in front of him that allowed pets, so he agreed.
Uncle Gao turned around and drove the car to the other intersection. Su Chengyi and Chu Qingmian walked to the park with their dogs.
Although it is not outside the city center, there are only a few people who come to the park for a walk at night in this weather. The snow looks very clean, and there are not even a few footprints.
The two people and the dog walked slowly inside. The paw prints left by Furui's four paws looked like a series of continuous plum blossoms.
The benches on the side of the road were also covered with snow. Su Chengyi rolled up his sleeves and dusted out a place where two people could sit side by side. He put the bag he got when buying coffee on it, sat down and took it. The cup of hot latte without sugar that belonged to him was handed over by Chu Qingmian.
Chu Qingmian held the cup in both hands, and the hot breath quickly condensed into white mist, which dispersed in the light of the street lamp.
Seeing no one around, Su Chengyi took out Furui's favorite toy ball from his pocket and threw it out not far away.
He controlled the distance very well. Fury was always within the sight of the two of them and could call back at any time.
Chu Qingmian lowered her head and took a sip of coffee. The snowflakes fell on her thick eyelashes and melted into small water droplets. They looked like the popular tear diamond decoration.
After returning from the whale watching boat, Miss Chu became unusually silent.
Of course Su Chengyi noticed this, but thought it was understandable. After all, after seeing such a shocking spectacle, it was normal for him to not recover in a short period of time.
Especially a sentimental person like the eldest lady, who loves romance and poetry the most.
I heard Chu Yuanjiang say that after listening to the story of "The Daughter of the Sea" when he was a child, he cried secretly for several days and could not come out for a long time. He was moved by Ariel's self-sacrifice.
This is probably why, among all the wonders and wonders on earth, Miss Chu’s favorite is the sea.
Su Chengyi was thinking about all this when someone around him suddenly called him.
"Su Chengyi."
"Yeah."
He responded and threw the ball that Fury had just picked up again.
The silly dog ran out to chase it again. The snow that was just clean and tidy just now was suddenly trampled into messy dog footprints.
"Thank you, thank you for being willing to run so far with me. We are all on the other side of the world."
Chu Qingmian sniffed and said.
“Actually, you can’t say that I am accompanying you.”
Su Chengyi shook his head and replied slowly:
"Whales are also a kind of creature that I have wanted to see with my own eyes since I was a child. I used to watch them in documentaries, but only when I see them with my own eyes can I know how magical it is."
"Hehe."< br>
Chu Qingmian lowered his head and smiled slightly, then raised his eyes again.
"Thank you, you are always kind to me."
She said this sincerely, and her eyes, as clear as crystal, were full of love.
Of course Su Chengyi would feel guilty at this time - if he wasn't already guilty, then he would really be the most shameless and self-aware scumbag in the world.
It’s more of a sense of guilt than a guilty conscience.
Because he knew very well that the eternal sinner who would break such a beautiful crystal ball was actually himself.
Su Cheng looked away without any trace, not knowing where to use his voice, and softly said "hmm".
“It’s true.”
Miss Chu was reluctant, holding his finger and shaking it slightly.
“I know you like Mr. Wang Xiaobo’s books. He has written many shocking words. When they come out of your mouth, they always have a special meaning.
But you don’t know, In fact, every time I see you, what I think of is that simple sentence without making too much sense."
"Which sentence?"
Hearing what she said, Su Chengyi couldn't help but think. asked somewhat curiously.
"I give you my whole soul, along with its quirks, little tempers, flickering, and eighteen hundred bad habits.
It's so annoying, but it has only one good thing, I love you."
Chu Qingmian bent her eyes and read word by word.
She was always the most honest person, and when she said such love words, it was as if she was holding her whole heart in front of him.
Su Chengyi lowered her eyes, and snowflakes fell on her eyelashes.
The principle of knowing people but not knowing their hearts cannot be applied to Miss Chu, because just through her eyes, you can clearly see her soul and her sincerity.
