Chapter 330: A Journey to Kyoto (4)
Early the next morning, the group drove straight to the Jinshanling Great Wall.
Compared to the Badaling Great Wall, it may not seem so famous, but it seems to have a beautiful scenery and less crowds, making it the first choice for Kyoto locals and tourists who are familiar with Kyoto to climb the Great Wall.
With Zuo Youran, a local tour guide, they naturally won't go to Badaling to feel the crowded treatment.
At the foot of the ridge, as the flow of people slowly moved forward, becoming more and more rugged, and at the same time, there were fewer and fewer people around.
Albert was panting and sweating from exhaustion, and with his clothes already undressed, it was clear that climbing the Great Wall was a very big challenge for him.
Of course, the two little girls were also very tired, but they had Lin Qirong and Zhao Lifei to help them climb up slowly, but they walked faster than Albert.
Finally climbed to the top, Albert was already tired and collapsed on the ground, Tongtong and Ricky were also sweating profusely, Zuo Youran and Marpel were busy wiping their sweat and replenishing their water.
"Albert, your physical strength is not good. Lin Qirong stood in front of Albert and shook his head and said.
"We have a good saying, if you don't go to the Great Wall, you are not a hero, you still need to exercise. ”
"Whew. ”
Albert gasped and said, "Lin, you didn't tell me that the Great Wall is so difficult to climb. ”
"Haha, that's already relatively easy to climb. "The Great Wall is more difficult to climb in other places. ”
Albert struggled to get up from the ground, leaning against the city wall and looking at the majestic green hills and the majestic Great Wall stretching among the mountains, his heart was full of shock.
He asked incredulously, "Lin, was this really built thousands of years ago? It's really incredible, I feel that the pyramid or something, in the face of such a huge project, is not enough to see." ”
Lin Qirong's heart was full of pride, "Yes, Albert, the approximate time should have been built by various countries more than two thousand years ago.
More than 1,000 years ago, there was a great monarch who eliminated all his opponents and unified China, connecting and repairing the Great Wall of various countries, which is called the Great Wall of Ten Thousand Miles.
Later dynasties built and repaired, and finally formed the current great wonder of the world.
You're right, I think it's the greatest project in the world, the most celebrated miracle.
And unlike the pyramids, which were built to bury the pharaohs, the Great Wall was built to deter the invasion of the enemy.
It is a military defense project in ancient China, and it is a tall, solid and continuous long wall, which is used to limit the movement of enemy cavalry, and is a great building to protect national security and people's safety. ”
Albert nodded seriously, "I also agree with your point of view, the starting point is completely different.
I've heard the name of the Great Wall before, and I thought it was the same as the statue of the sun god, the pyramid and other wonders of the world.
When I saw such a scene, I realized that it was greater than I imagined.
Your ancient Chinese people are really very great. ”
"Thank you, I'm not modest about this. ”
"Haha. ”
After resting for a while, Albert regained his senses and pulled Marpel and Ricky around to take pictures, and his excited look made the tourists who came and go look sideways.
However, they did not find it strange, because foreigners who came here were basically surprised by the magnificent Great Wall, and such behavior was too normal.
Tongtong was also very excited to see the Great Wall, and Lin Qirong picked her up and put it around her neck so that she could clearly see the scenery outside.
Zuo Youran was by his side to explain the story of the Great Wall to her.
"Dad, the Great Wall is so long, and it bends around, it seems to be ••••••, it seems to be ••••••" Tongtong bit his finger and couldn't describe it at once.
"Baby, it's like a dragon's body. Lin Qirong said with a smile, "Our Chinese dragon is not like what you see in "Dora the Explorer", it is a Western dragon.
Our dragon is like this, the body is very long, can fly in the sky, very majestic, it is our Chinese totem Oh, all our Chinese people are called the descendants of the dragon. ”
"Oh. Tongtong nodded as if she didn't understand, she saw more of the image of a dragon in the West.
Lin Qirong was in a somewhat gloomy mood, it seemed that it was really a very important thing for him to cooperate with Bai Xilin to reproduce the animals that existed in the mythical stories in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas".
It is also important for children to learn this knowledge in a way that they like.
The same is true for adults.
I should try to do a good job in this area in the future.
The group walked slowly along the Great Wall passage, and the scenery along the way was breathtaking, and tourists were taking pictures from time to time, including foreigners like Albert.
Walking on such a majestic building, Lin Qirong's heart was full of shock, as if he felt the will of the soldiers who had guarded this city wall for thousands of years, and saw the golden iron horse and the beacon fire in a trance.
For thousands of years, it was these people who used their lives to guard the country behind them, and in modern times, the Chinese people built a new Great Wall with flesh and blood, and established a new China in the rain of bullets.
This spirit has never been broken, and it has always existed in the blood of the Chinese people.
In times of peace, it is not visible, but once China encounters aggression, people will stand up and defend this country with their lives one after another.
Therefore, the Chinese civilization has never been broken, and the spirit of China has never been broken.
"I'm going to make a movie about it in the future. Lin Qirong said suddenly.
Zuo Youran looked at him in surprise.
"I mean, I want to find a way to make a film about the Great Wall in the future, and show the spirit it contains to all Chinese people. Lin Qirong said.
"Very good idea, come on, I'm optimistic about you. Zuo Youran smiled.
"Hmm. Lin Qirong nodded vigorously.
He doesn't know what script he can use, but it is certain that he will not move the "Great Wall" from his previous life, maybe the director wants to show something, but there is no doubt that this film does not capture the true connotation of the Great Wall.
This will become a goal for him in the future, and he will strive for this goal.
Looking at the Great Wall stretching among the green hills, it looks like a sleeping dragon, and you want to know more about its story.
There seemed to be a song in his heart, a song that shook the soul.
He knew how to fulfill Su Muyang's request.
When I got down to the Great Wall and returned to the hotel, it was already afternoon.
Fortunately, Zuo Youran prepared plenty of water and food, so that everyone could eat and drink in the middle, otherwise everyone would be hungry after climbing like this for most of the day.
But I wasn't hungry, but my body was very tired.
Albert ran back to his room screaming, presumably exhausted, and both Marpel and Ricky looked very tired.
Go back to the room.
"My calves hurt so much. Tongtong knocked on his calf and cried with a sad face.
Today, she walked for most of the day and climbed very high steps, she was really tired.
"Daddy will help you rub it for a while. ”
Lin Qirong asked her to put her legs in her arms, and gently helped her rub her legs and stomachs to relax her muscles.
Zuo Youran took two more hot towels and put them on them, and it took a while to relieve them.
When Lin Qirong put down her legs, he found that she had fallen asleep.
Lin Qirong and Zuo looked at each other and smiled, and with her help, they bent down and picked up Tongtong and put him on the bed in the middle, and covered the quilt before coming out.
"It's amazing to keep going, not complaining about being tired. Zuo said leisurely.
For Tongtong, climbing the Great Wall is obviously a huge challenge, and she has been able to persist until now before she is tired, which is already very powerful.
Lin Qirong nodded, "Then let her have a good rest." ”
"Hmm. ”
"Are you alright?" asked Lin Qirong.
Zuo Youran shook his head slightly, "Fortunately, when I was a child, I was often pulled by my grandfather to crawl, and I can be regarded as practicing." ”
"Then your grandfather must be in very good health. ”
Zuo Youran thought for a moment and nodded, "Yes, it's just that it's not good now, and the grade is older after all." ”
"The elderly need to be accompanied and talked to more. ”
"yes, he loves me a lot, so every time he sees me, he's happy. ”
"Old man, it's all like this. ”
Lin Qirong thought of Lin Jianguo, he was much better to Tongtong than to himself, and every time he came home, he couldn't wait to hold it in the palm of his hand, and he would respond to his requests.
Fortunately, Tongtong will not have very excessive requirements, otherwise it will really be spoiled.
As he spoke, his phone rang, and it was an unfamiliar call.
He picked it up directly, "Hey, hello." ”
On the other side was a voice with a hint of muffle, "Is it Lin Qirong?"
"I am, you are?"
"I'm Wen Ziyuan. The other side replied, pausing and adding, "Leisurely cousin." ”
Lin Qirong glanced at Zuo Youran, who was bowing his head to make tea, and got up and walked to the side.
"Hello. ”
Wen Ziyuan didn't seem to have the intention of asking the teacher, but unexpectedly sent out an invitation, "You should still be in Kyoto, right? Have dinner together tonight? Bring my cousin and your precious daughter." ”
It seems that the other party knows his situation well.
Lin Qirong naturally understood that it was impossible for the other party to invite him to dinner for no reason, and it must have something to do with Zuo Youran.
If he has nothing to do with Zuo Youran, or doesn't want to continue to have anything to do with her, then he can politely refuse this invitation.
But in his heart, Zuo Youran has already occupied an important position, and he is a very important person, so it is naturally impossible to reject Wen Ziyuan.
"Okay, I'll ask her later, it should be fine. However, the time may be a little later, I have to arrange my friends, and my daughter is a little tired from climbing the Great Wall today, and is resting, maybe a little later. ”
Wen Ziyuan said, "It doesn't matter, I'll send you the address, you know how to get there, you can come over then." ”
"Okay, I got it. ”
Lin Qirong hung up the phone, sat back on the sofa, looked at Zuo Youran, who looked at him suspiciously, and said, "Your cousin invited us to dinner tonight." ”
