Chapter 1096: Feel the Tranquility
In the Philippines, a country of thousand islands, there are countless large and small islands, and it is also a tourist attraction that Chinese people like to go to. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
And because of the lazy god system, there are many places in the Philippines, and the popularity has become higher.
The most well-known in China is probably Boracay Island, with several kilometers of white sand beaches, known as the most delicate white sand beach in the world.
Every day, it is crowded with tourists, who come and go in a hurry, feel the white sand beach, leave their images in the camera, and then disappear again.
Day after day, year after year, like a movie speeding up.
If you stand on the white sand beach and look into the distance, you may be able to see that on the other side of the sea, there is a very large island, and this island is Tubbs Island.
Compared to the hustle and bustle of Boracay, the island's business atmosphere is much cooler, and with the exception of a few tourist attractions on the beach, the rest of the island is quietly forgotten by the world.
The land in the Philippines is privately owned, and most of the land is concentrated in the hands of large landowners, and most of the land on this island also belongs to a few large landowners, and the largest landowner on the island is the Kylera family.
In the face of the hustle and bustle of the tourist boom, the Corkrala family does not seem to be particularly enthusiastic, and still maintains the pristine appearance of the island.
However, as Boracay Island became more and more popular, and more and more people flowed, some people gradually became disgusted with Boracay's beautiful but crowded white sand beaches, and began to play "island hopping", so some people cast their eyes on this small island with little heat.
Early in the morning, on the small pier on the beach, a boat docked, and a family of five came down from the boat, two elderly people, two middle-aged people, and a half-old child.
The middle-aged man holds a camera in his hand and keeps shooting, taking in all kinds of beautiful scenery in his eyes.
A small fishing village near the cliff by the sea, children in big pants, little children with bare butts diving on the small cliffs, fishing boats setting sail or returning home, and dark-skinned fishermen.
The two old men walked leisurely behind, sighing as they walked: "Alas, it's better to travel abroad, those domestic attractions are crowded and chaotic, the itinerary is still tight, and there are many people." ”
What do some people say, domestic travel is, get in the car to sleep, get out of the car to take pictures, and find the ground to pee.
I looked at it in a hurry, came and went, and took nothing with me, leaving only a piece of garbage.
"That's right, let's take a stroll around this island today, and tomorrow we'll see what other interesting islands we have, and have enough fun at once!" the middle-aged man shifted the camera, clicked and patted, and answered.
Suddenly, a man broke into his shot, a young man with a fair complexion, not as dark-skinned and slightly darker as the local Tu, but more like a Chinese.
It's just that his demeanor doesn't look like a countryman.
In the Philippines, middle-aged people feel the difference between Filipinos and Chinese.
In the eyes of middle-aged people, most Filipinos are lazier, have a sillier smile, and seem to be silly and happy all day long, some people live very hard, and some people live in poverty, but they can't stop the little silly smile on their faces.
Of course, there are still a small number of people, some of them are fierce and fierce, and this is already a very small number.
In fact, he thinks that the country of the Philippines is also quite stupid, vainly trying to participate in the game between the two superpowers of China and the United States, which is a hot potato that even Japan and South Korea are gradually unable to play and can't wait to throw away, let alone this "servant country" that has declined since World War II and has no future?
A declining country is completely different from a rising country, the spirit of the whole country.
Middle-aged people are considered to be above the middle class, they have been to many countries, and everywhere they go, they can see the figure of Chinese people, even if they come out to play, they will be in a hurry, in a hurry.
But this person is different.
With a languid smile on his face, he held a parasol, half-lying on the beach, staring at the sea in front of him, his fingers unconsciously sliding on the sand, and a small bucket beside him, as if intending to pick up shells and catch crabs, but there was nothing inside.
"Hey!" the middle-aged man said hello, intending to have a conversation, thinking that this person might have a story.
The man turned his head and smiled like an idiot like a Filipino: "Hey, morning. ”
"Chinese people!" The middle-aged man's eyes widened, this Chinese character is really Chinese.
"Chinese, mainland. The young man still had a happy smirk on his face, "My name is Shang Fang." ”
"Xu Ning. The middle-aged man's name is very popular, "Little brother, you are also here for tourism? No, are you immigrating to the Philippines?"
No matter how much tourists go, they will be in a bit of a hurry, just like them.
"Hahaha, what do you think?" Shang Fang suddenly laughed, "It seems that I am very successful in disguise, I am actually here to travel." ”
"Oh, is there anything interesting on this island?" Xu Ning hurried to learn the scriptures.
"I don't know, I've been here for two or three days, and I haven't traveled more than a kilometer. Shang Fang was immediately happy, he pointed to the sea in front of him, "I think it's good to just sit on the beach, looking at the sea in front of me, it's good to think about nothing, how beautiful the unknown world is, why rush to explore......"
Xu Ning sat down beside Shang Fang, felt it for a moment, and didn't feel any difference.
"You're in a hurry, brother. Shang Fang grinned, "Isn't it just to change your mood when you go out to travel? If you look at it with a too utilitarian mood, what's the point? Whether the scenery is beautiful or not depends mainly on the mood." ”
Yes? Maybe it makes sense.
Xu Ning simply relaxed and learned Shang Fang's posture, but before he felt anything, his half-grown son ran over: "Dad, Dad, let's go find a fun place!"
Xu Ning spread his hands helplessly, turned around and asked Shang Fangdao: "Brother has been here for at least a few days, at least recommend where there are places worth going to nearby." ”
"Since you're here, this is a place worth going......" Shang Fang pretended to be forced again, but seeing Xu Ning's expression, he was worried about being beaten, so he quickly beckoned: "Lepi, come over and tell this gentleman what is interesting here." ”
Not far away, several dark-skinned children who were diving on a big rock ran over, and the biggest one walked to Xu Ning's side, with both hands behind his back, and recited very seriously in not very proficient Chinese: "The nearby attractions are, mango forest farm, a small waterfall in the sky, and a small church in the forest......"
After reciting, he blinked at the middle-aged man in front of him: "Sir, we can be your guide, only 10 pesos......"
Shang Fang turned his head sideways and explained: "Actually, there are no mature small attractions on this island, but it feels very good, if you want to go, you can take a walk, give them 10 pesos and let them take you around for most of the day, if you are happy, give them more." ”
Xu Ning took out 10 pesos, took a family, followed the little guide, after about an hour, after visiting a few small attractions nearby, as Shang Fang said, not much development, but very feeling, whether it is like a green forest like a mango orchard, or like a small church in a fantasy movie, it makes people stop and stay for a long time, Xu Ning also went to the Filipino village to see, a little dilapidated, it seems to be a Chinese fishing village a few decades ago, but the people who come and go are very enthusiastic.
Back on the beach, Xu Ning saw Shang Fang still lying there, with four or five beautiful girls beside him, they were chattering and asking something, and after a while, a little guide took them away.
"Dude, you shouldn't be here to be an intermediary!" Xu Ning sat down beside Shang Fang again.
Shang Fang suddenly laughed: "Brother, you are the fourth person to say this today." You say it's only 10 pesos at a time, more than a dollar, how many customers do I have to introduce!"
Xu Ning thought about it, and couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.
"Actually, these are the children in the orchard, and I see that they have nothing to do, so I help them earn some pocket money, and I am here mainly to feel the peace. ”
As he spoke, Shang Fang clasped his hands together and said in a deep voice: "Feel--quiet!"
In Shang Fang's imagination, if he wants the Buddha's light to shine at this time, his teammates will be bathed in the Buddha's light and become invincible.
"It's for the beautiful women. ”
"Hahahaha...... It's a landscape, isn't it?"
I don't know why, Xu Ning suddenly envied Shang Fang a little, he sighed and said: "You are coming out alone, how you like to play, I can't do it, drag the family with you." ”
"Not really. Shang Fang suddenly pointed behind him, Xu Ning turned his head, and saw that behind him, his parents didn't know when they chatted with a pair of old people of about the same age, the two old men were holding their trouser legs, carrying buckets, and smiling.
"Your parents?"
"Hmm. ”
Xu Ning took a closer look, Shang Fang's parents, like Shang Fang, had a lazy smile, like an old lady buying vegetables who met each other on any street corner, chatting so naturally.
After a short time, the two sides became acquainted, and Shang Fang's parents very warmly invited the family to their home as guests.
"Go to your house?" Xu Ning glared, "Aren't you here for a tour?"
"yes. Shang Fang laughed.
"Brother, you bought a property here? Xu Ning suddenly envied Shang Fang even more.
"But it's not ......"
"Let's go over first, Xiao Fang, you will bring your brother over later. Shang Fang's parents left first with the old couple, Xu Ning was a little worried, and Shang Fang smiled: "Don't worry, you can't lose it." I'm afraid your parents are bad people. ”
"Hahahaha......" Xu Ning also laughed, temporarily letting down his guard.
His half-grown boy was still on the beach, already familiar with Lepi, and now he went to dive.
Xu Ning simply kicked off his shoes and lay on the beach like Shang Fang, clasping his hands together: "Feel the tranquility ......"
He took a deep breath and let the air full of the smell of the sea fill his chest, listening to the laughter of children not far away, feeling the heat of the beach, and gradually emptying, emptying, emptying......
It's so peaceful...... (To be continued.) )
