Chapter 8: Departure (3)

Li Lan's Spring City, where he is located, is more than 1,800 kilometers away from his destination, Dongshan Rongcheng College of Bingcheng University of Technology, and the high-speed train he takes requires a transfer to a ship in Dalian to Weihai or Yantai, and then a high-speed train or bus to Rongcheng. Youngseong is the easternmost city of the Dongsan Peninsula, surrounded by the sea, and is the closest place to Korea in the Republic, and it only takes an hour to reach Jeju Island by sea and land, and it is destined to be a toss-up journey from the northernmost part of the Northeast to the easternmost side of Dongsan.

After an hour's drive, the "Harmony" stopped steadily at Dalian Station, and Li Lan walked out of the station with his luggage.

Dalian is a young port, industrial, commercial and tourist city in the north of China, it is located in the southernmost part of the Liaodong Peninsula, surrounded by the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea, with a pleasant climate, blue sea and blue sky, sunshine and sand, attracting tourists to come, it is a coastal open city full of vitality and vitality, and Dalian is also a place rich in beauties, he remembers that in his previous life, there were boring netizens who once counted the "beauty percentage" of Dalian as 18.82%!! It means that for every 100 women aged 16~32 in the place, there are nearly 19 beautiful women, of course, this is not scientific, but to a certain extent, it also shows the attitude of some netizens, and it also has a certain reference value. As soon as he came out of the station, he had already observed several long legs with a height of about 170 passing by.

And when it comes to Dalian, one thing I have to say is Dalian dialect, Dalian dialect belongs to Jiaoliao official dialect - Denglian piece - Daxiu small piece and Yanwei small piece, known as absorbing Japanese, Russian, English and other foreign languages "oyster flavor" dialect, and Northeast dialect is two dialects, remember that once a sentence "poured duck" video once made Dalian dialect popular all over the country, and then drove many Dalian dialect magic works, people can't help but laugh.

"Xiaoxiao, muttering to that?

No, Li Lan, who had just gotten into the taxi, couldn't help but laugh a little when she heard this oyster dialect, this was asking herself where to go, whether to go home or find a place to eat.

"Go to the port of Dalian. ”

"What are you going to do?" the master was asking himself where to go and what to do

"Buy a ticket to Yantai and report to the school. ”

It is very close from the station to the ship port, only need to start the price, and arrive at the destination after a while, Li Lan came to the window and bought a ticket to Yantai, the cruise ship named "Xinshengsheng No. 1" has a total of eight ticket classes:

Special class: Deluxe top floor sea view room, large double bed, sofa coffee table, satellite TV, independent bathroom, refrigerator, air conditioning, one bedroom, one living room, one bathroom and one kitchen

First class: Deluxe sea view room, double bed, sofa coffee table, satellite TV, air conditioning, private toilet

2nd class A: twin beds, satellite TV, air conditioning, private toilet

2nd class B: Quadruple room with en-suite bathroom - window

3rd class A: 4-6 person room, bunk beds, air conditioning,

Band 3: 6-8 person room, windowless, bunk beds, air conditioning

Fourth class: 8-10 rooms, bunk beds, air conditioning

Loose seats (seats): Concourse seats

He chose to buy a third-class B ticket, after all, it was expected to take about 7 hours to sail.

Standing under the cruise ship at a height of more than 20 meters, everyone is very small, compared with aviation and high-speed rail, shipping is undoubtedly less popular today, because it does not have the speed of aviation, and does not have the comfort of high-speed rail, but if you talk about history, shipping is undoubtedly more long, China's maritime history can be traced back to 7,000 years ago. The Book of Changes records the story of Fuxi's "wood for boats and wood for boats", and the wooden oars that appeared 7,000 years ago in the prehistoric civilization site of Hemudu are ironclad evidence of the earliest voyage of the Chinese. There are countless records of navigation in ancient Chinese books and documents, and the "Bamboo Book Chronicle" also records the deeds of Emperor Mang of the Xia Dynasty who "hunted in the sea in the east and got big fish". The Shang Dynasty people had more frequent contacts with overseas, and there are records of merchants' seafaring activities such as "the land is fierce and fierce, and there are interceptions overseas" in the Book of Songs.

From ancient times to the present, how many amazing stories have been passed down through the ages, the Ming Dynasty since the third year of Yongle Zheng He went to the Western Ocean, the motherland showed the prosperity and strength of the motherland with a powerful fleet, opened the maritime Silk Road to let "all countries come to the dynasty", "four Yi guest service"; Zheng Chenggong recovered Taiwan and expelled the Dutch colonists, defending China's sovereignty and territorial integrity; it was also due to the closure of the country, which led to the invasion of the land by the Eight-Nation Alliance, and opium also flowed to the country by sea, eroding and destroying how many compatriots and friends.

Li Lan, who bought a loose seat, looked at the packed living room on the cruise ship, even if it was not his first time to take a boat, he had already prepared in his heart, but he still couldn't help but sigh: There are not many other people in the motherland, there are really many people, if the quality of the Great Wall is not good, it is estimated that it will have been trampled by tourists a long time ago. He dragged his luggage to the deck, and the loud whistle in his ears echoed in this open scenery of the river, sea and blue sky, which made people feel refreshed and happy, and couldn't help but be full of anticipation for the distance, and the port that was gradually moving away disappeared from view.

As the waves washed away, the slightly swaying hull lifted patches of white foam, the white clouds fluttered in the blue sky, and the seagulls flew happily close to the sea, which made him feel a sense of "the sea is wide and the fish jumps, and the sky is high for the birds to fly" Occasionally, one or two seagulls fly to the deck, you can always hear a burst of exclamations, some passengers take out the food and hand it to them with kindness, they are not afraid of people stretching out their heads to peck, this pair of people, nature, animals are integrated, the scene of joy is undoubtedly the most beautiful scenery, the sea breeze gently blows the cheeks, the fresh air brings to make the people in the hustle and bustle forget their troubles, he dragged his luggage through the crowd to the front of the deck, holding on to the railing, looking into the distance, the scenery on both sides of the strait is in full view, so that he can't help but sing a poem that he has forgotten where he has seen:

The wind is flat, and the long wind is light.

The eyes are full of wind and waves, and looking at the mountains is just like walking to greet them.

When the people nearby heard this unheard ancient poem, they couldn't help but glance at the young man around them, and among them, there were also one or two young girls who looked at the slender, fair-skinned, clean and handsome boy who couldn't help but feel good, and was about to come forward to get acquainted, and heard the young man's cheerful singing voice again:

Let's swing the sculls!

The boat pushes away the waves.

......

The people in the wind were instantly messy, looking at Li Lan's eyes as if they had seen animals for the first time, the fresh and refined poems and the nursery rhymes with IQ offline, the contrast between this Nima was too great!

Of course, Li Lan noticed the gazes of the people around him, but he had no scruples at all, and as if no one else had chosen to sing again: "The sea, you are all water!" Horses, you have four legs, beauty, you are really beautiful, and you have a mouth under your nose.

"Poof" A girl couldn't help laughing, her parents around her looked at Li Lan as if they were looking at a schizophrenic psychopath, and then pulled the girl away from here.

He shrugged his shoulders, as if to say that it had nothing to do with the matter, the sea breeze for a long time would also make people feel uncomfortable, he returned to the hall with his luggage, no accident, the hall was not lucky to vacate the seats, it was still overcrowded, he was also used to it, in his previous life, he had come over like this several winter and summer vacations, he found a newspaper in the cabin, spread it on the spot, and then sat on the newspaper like this, lying on the suitcase with his hands crossed, leaning against the cabin and closing his eyes to rest. Since he was a child, he has a kind of ability, whether it is an airplane or a high-speed rail, he just closes his eyes, and then opens his eyes to basically arrive at the station, except for the subway and buses, as long as he closes his eyes without exception, he has sat in the station, once he sat at the subway bus starting station to the terminal station, closed his eyes and opened it again to find that it was still at the starting station, of course, it was not that the subway did not start, but the return.

A long, loud whistle sounded.

He opened his hazy eyes, looked at the long queue of people who had lined up in the direction of the exit, and realized that the ship was berthing at the port, he was not in a hurry, according to previous experience, the ship was docked like an airplane docking, and it was not achieved overnight, so he first moved his neck that was a little sore due to a long time of lying down, and after two bone sounds, he felt extremely transparent, and then stood up and checked the luggage, and there was no accidental loss.

Twenty minutes later, Li Lan dragged his luggage out of the harbor, the sky outside was completely dark, the lights near the harbor were bright, the voices were boiling, and when he saw passengers with luggage, several enthusiastic crowds immediately poured out on both sides of the street, asking whether to stay, where to go, and so on, he did not pay attention to these people at all, as we all know, the vicinity of the station, the ship, the harbor and the airport are all mixed places, all kinds of black cars, small hotels with a hammer of the mentality, I don't know how many passengers have been pitted.

On the street not far away, he successfully got a taxi, and explained to the master that after going to Yantai Station, he enjoyed the night view of the city, with high-rise buildings, flower-like lights, and the smiles of groups of people on the street all outlined the prosperity of the city.

The car soon stopped in front of Yantai Station, and after Li Lan took out his luggage from the trunk of the car again to thank the master, he did not choose to look for a restaurant to treat his stomach that had protested, but went directly to the window to consult and buy tickets, and bought a high-speed train that was still half an hour before the departure.

"Little brother, I lost my travel wallet and luggage, and I've been hungry for 2 days, so help. ”

"Well, this is for you, that's all, and the landlord's family has no surplus grain. Li Lan took out a packet of instant noodles from the snack bag he was carrying and handed it to the young man, he could see at a glance that what the young man said was a lie, and he said that he had been hungry for two days and was lying to the ghost? The slightly bulging shape of his trouser pocket was undoubtedly a mobile phone, a person who had lost his wallet and luggage, called the police at the first time, and called his relatives and friends for help the next time, how could he be alone and wait at the station to beg, and see that he was still working hard during this time period Li Lan still chose to take care of him, but he did not expose and persuade, as the so-called: poor and treacherous, rich and conscientious, without the suffering of others, do not persuade others to be kind, the young man originally planned to continue to stalk, but seeing Li Lan's gradually cold eyes, he involuntarily stopped and chose to leave.

This is just one of the episodes, Li Lan sat in the waiting room smoothly through the ticket inspection process, and while waiting for the ticket inspection prompt, he picked up his mobile phone and dialed Han Mei's phone to report that he was safe.

"Hey, Mom, I'm here, there's no signal on the boat, I saw you calling, don't worry, everything is going well, don't worry about it." ”

"I can't get through to your phone, so I'll just say, what's the night?" Han Mei asked while lying on the bed, and Li Jianbang, who was reading the newspaper on the side, was also distracted from the microphone here.

"I got off the boat and ordered two dishes in a restaurant near the station and ate a bite casually, the food is good, don't worry about me, what about you two, what do you eat at night?"

"Your Aunt Hu sent some cabbage, and I made rice buns with your father," rice buns are one of the specialties of the Northeast, with mashed potatoes and Chinese cabbage wrapped in rice and green onions with sauce.

"Okay, I'll report my safety when the ticket is checked here, you two will rest early, and you will go to work tomorrow, hang up."

Seeing Han Mei put down her mobile phone, Li Jianbang immediately put down the newspaper in his hand and raised his hand to turn off the lamp on the bedside table.

Yantai to Rongcheng high-speed rail only takes 50 minutes, 23:20, Li Lan with luggage standing in front of Rongcheng station, walked two streets to see the civilian hotel "home", to the front desk not long to do a good check-in, he put the luggage in the open room and took the elevator downstairs to find a national chain of restaurants at the door of the "Shaxian snacks", so late there is no customer in the store, the boss is wiping the table alone, it seems that the proofing is about to be made, Li Lan asked tentatively: "Can the boss still order?"

"No problem, big brother, I'm the chef, just order whatever you want," the boss responded boldly.

"Let's have an egg fried rice and a bowl of pork rib soup"

"Okay, wait a minute"

Li Lan, who was sitting on a chair and was bored watching the TV in the store, suddenly heard a "ding" sound, he took out his mobile phone to check, it was a short message, and only a few simple words were written on it: "The big villain with no conscience!", and then saw that the sender turned out to be the "most beautiful flight attendant", so he had to immediately dial the phone, and when he rang a few times and heard the other party's prompt that the phone had been turned off, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

When I returned to the hotel, I took off the clothes that I had worn for a day and had been slightly damp due to sweat, took a shower in the bathroom and fell asleep on the bed.
