Chapter 209: The Past of Mount Forth
This night, Yang Gang slept very soundly!
......
When Mieko took Yang Gang and others to walk on the most famous cherry blossom avenue in the island country, the others didn't know what the reason was, except for the family of three, everyone else seemed to have not rested yesterday.
All of them are like frosted eggplants, on the other hand, Yang Gang's face is full of vitality, as if he has endless energy.
Mieko's voice followed the gentle majesty into Yang Gang's ears, and the fragrance of cherry blossoms stayed in his ears for a long time and did not want to disperse.
Looking at the petals that keep falling in the air, like dancing girls in the wind, people can't help but forget the time.
With such a beautiful view, how can there be no old man's camera?
Just when Yang Gang was feeling this boundless beauty with his heart, he suddenly heard a "click" sound from the camera.
Yang Gang didn't have to think about it, he knew that this was the sound of the old man who was traveling with him pressing the shutter.
Although he accidentally discovered the old man's secret yesterday, Yang Gang still didn't expect the old man to be interested in the beautiful scenery here.
Yang Gang followed the old man's footage......
There were some people from unknown countries standing in different poses, and their companions did not forget to record this wonderful moment with their mobile phones next to them.
Yang Gang's eyes would always rotate with the old man's lens.
......
When Yang Gang saw that the old man was in such a beautiful scene, and the places where his camera was aimed at were different groups of people, the doubts in his heart Yang Gang were even worse.
In each of the dozen times Yang Gang heard the sound of pressing the shutter, the old man was not interested in the scenery here, but undoubtedly focused his camera on the men and women.
It was as if the delicacy of the place had not aroused the slightest interest in the old man.
This abnormal phenomenon made Yang Gang a little confused about the old man's intentions.
Although Yang Gang had also repeatedly screened those men and women, Yang Gang did not feel any difference in those people with different skin colors.
If there is anything different, it may be that they are like Yang Gang and others, and they all converge in this place.
But what could be the reason for this?
......
After thinking about it, Yang Gang felt that this question might have to be verified by time, so he did not delve into it, but devoted his main energy to admiring this rare cherry blossom.
Sure enough, when Yang Gang's attention shifted from people to objects, he found that the cherry blossoms here did have a unique scenery.
At least such a large-scale cherry blossom here, Yang Gang had never seen it before.
Looking at the white expanse of the mountains is like being in a sea of cherry blossoms, and the fragrance of the cherry blossoms will gather around you from all directions.
It not only passes through the nostrils, but also through the pores on the body surface, and soaks the whole body of the person with incomparably sweetness.
It's addictive.
......
It may be that the beautiful tour guide Mieko thinks that everyone has admired enough of the beautiful cherry blossoms here, because she sees that the group of people she brought is now a little numb to this place, and the excitement in her eyes is not as hot as it was at the beginning.
So, she shouted at everyone to go to the next place.
Although she did it with her mouth, she didn't think so in her heart.
Yes, after all
Cherry blossoms are one of the symbols of island nations, and if foreigners can fall in love with their national flower, it will be planting a seed in their hearts to identify with the island culture.
But for most countries in the world, the people of island countries, and even island countries, are not so popular in the hearts of people all over the world.
Therefore, in the past few years, island countries have also tried to change this concept.
But if people have a view of something, it is not so easy to change.
As a result, the island countries have found another way, hoping to change their views on the basis of allowing foreigners to better understand the island countries and even the people of the island countries.
Of course, we can say that this can be regarded as cultural penetration to a certain extent!
But for the Chinese people, whose prejudice against the island country has long been deep-rooted, how can this kind of cultural infiltration be easily changed?
Therefore, when he felt the huge planting area of cherry blossom trees here, Yang Gang did not have any other shock in his heart.
Not to mention shocking, even a trace of waves was difficult to shock in Yang Gang's heart.
......
The destination that Mieko is now taking the group to is a mountain across the river from the cherry blossoms that she used to see.
Although it is called a high mountain, it is actually just a small mountain with an altitude of less than 500 meters.
Because for an island country, its overall altitude is extremely low, and even many cities are still reclaimed from the sea, and it is rare for the people of the island country to have a 500-meter peak.
As everyone knows, in Huaxia, there are countless peaks with an altitude of 500 meters, and there are even more mountains with a height of more than 2,000 meters.
As the ancients said: If you don't see the sea, you don't know its breadth, and if you don't see the mountains, you don't know its steepness.
And this sentence, if it is used on the island people now, it is very suitable.
......
Yang Gang couldn't have imagined that only such a tall mountain in the island country could attract so much attention in their minds!
When Mieko led the crowd to the mountain called "Forth Mountain" a few hundred meters away, she had already seen a black oppressive head.
With Yang Gang's eyesight, of course he could see clearly what those people were doing, but the others were different.
When the rest of the people saw that those people were struggling to move forward, they thought that those people were grabbing something fun, and they could not hide their excitement, and they were eager to try, and they also wanted to rush forward to participate in it.
When their footsteps got closer and closer to those people, they found that the black crowd was actually queuing up to buy tickets.
After finding out that this was the result, everyone sighed heavily!
At the same time, they are also feeling a little ashamed of their previous "good heart".
But when they think about it, they have spent so much money and energy to come here, and they have to endure the services that do not match the payment here, and they have long lost interest in this place.
......
But with the miraculous operation of the beautiful tour guide, Mieko, they successfully bypassed the crowd that was still waiting in line.
Successfully ascended to the foot of Mount Foss.
Looking at the envious eyes of those who were still waiting in line, the faces of those who were walking with Yang Gang showed extremely proud looks.
They could never have imagined that they did not enjoy any privileges when they were at home, but after coming to the island country, they could get such preferential treatment, which made them very happy.
Moreover, that family of three
The woman also deliberately looked at the people of the island country who were still waiting for her.
......
Those who were already sweating profusely could not bear it even more when they saw that the woman had not only arrived first, but also gave them a provocative look.
Originally, this kind of "bad rules" thing should be seen by themselves, but the behavior of "getting cheap and selling well" made them a little unbearable.
As a result, the people of the island country, after their angry eyes widened, still let out some ugly words from time to time.
But the people of the island country didn't expect that their unsightly language, like a mud cow entering the sea, failed to cause any waves in Yang Gang and his party.
As a result, they can only watch those who "don't understand the rules" drift away......
Unbeknownst to Yang Gang, when Mieko brought them to this place called "Forth Mountain", she became active.
not only introduced Yang Gang and others how abundant the products here are, but also constantly revealed her worship of this mountain.
From Mieko's words, Yang Gang knew that this mountain was like the position of Taishan in the hearts of Chinese people in the eyes of the island people.
It is no exaggeration to say that in the island country, as long as people mention "Forth Mountain", they all show deep reverence.
As for why the people of the island country worship the little-known Mount Forth so much, there is a legend that is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood.
......
It is said that more than 3,000 years ago, it was still a bottomless ocean, and the inhabitants of the island country often haunted this area and made a living by fishing all year round.
And they can get a lot of harvest every time in this sea area, although the wind and waves here are high, and there are often fishing boats sinking again, but even if it is so dangerous, it also stops the enthusiasm of the people of the island country to run here.
Over time, it became a well-known fishing ground.
For a long time, it was even the designated venue for hundreds of miles of people in the neighborhood to hold fishing competitions.
In an island country with few people and surrounded by the sea, fishing has long been a special skill in people's lives, and it is this skill that greatly elevates the status of men in the tribe.
Therefore, the island nation holds a betta fish competition between men every year.
That is, in the case of a designated sea area, a specified time, and a designated tool, the person who catches more becomes the victorious side.
And the victorious side, his reward is also extremely rich, not only can he get the inheritance of the next patriarch of his clan, but the supreme government of the island country at that time will also reward his tribe with eye-catching gold and silk goods, as well as coveted beauties.
You know, in that chaotic era, being able to get the inheritance of a tribe meant a step to heaven for those poor families.
As long as you win the betta competition, not only will your future safety be guaranteed, but even your life will be guaranteed, and it will be a luxurious life.
Therefore, for the vast majority of people, participating in the betta competition and achieving a good ranking is the goal they strive for in their lives.
......
Although this brutal betta tournament is held every year, if the winner is unlucky, the position of food and clothing will be taken away after a year on the throne.
But it was precisely this mode of competition that could fully mobilize people's fighting spirit in that era, so that the island nation had become a well-deserved hegemon of the nearby islands for a certain period of time.
