Han Xuan got out of the car and walked on the streets of Williamsburg, and he could feel the word "freedom" everywhere.

In recent years, with the rising housing prices in New York, the security of the Williamsburg area has also undergone a lot of changes, and many people who originally lived in the city have moved their families here to escape the fast-paced life and enjoy the joy of life in this old town.

Williamsburg's former factory building is now a studio for artists from New York, and artists from all over the world continue to gather here, making the neighborhood a rapid arts and cultural development.

The red brick walls of the low houses on both sides are covered with graffiti murals, colorful lion heads with teeth and claws, bright roses blooming all over the walls, and creative deformed characters, and they have not spared the ground under their feet, and the whole street is like a large exhibition hall.

Residents enjoy a laid-back, slower life than downtown Manhattan, with cafes, vintage fashion, galleries and music clubs.

In the Starbucks café, guests sit by the floor-to-ceiling windows in the morning and enjoy their breakfast, unlike other places where they rush away with a cup in hand, and it's hard to imagine such a paradise in New York.

Han Xuan somewhat understands why so many today's hipsters like Williamsburg, where the casualness, freedom and slow pace are like a glass of old wine, which will make people intoxicated.

Standing at the mouth of an alley and looking inside, Fat Ding picked it up from here a few years ago, Madame Cecilia Gallery changed places last month, and there are more cars on the street where she originally lived, which is easy to disturb her creation.

So now it's a two-story red brick house that sits on a tributary of the East River, which is part of the "historic" U.S. Historic Monument Conservation Area, which is off-limits to vehicles.

You have to go through several alleys to get there, Han Xuan went there once in the first half of the year, and at that time was led by Anya. I didn't remember the road very much, and I made two mistakes with the familiar graffiti on the wall before I found the way.

Owen and the others followed the boy from a distance, and the distance was always more than ten meters, to ensure that they could arrive in time in case of accidents, such as now when they were interrogated by the patrol police, Gabriel said with a serious face: "We are really relatives." He's my sister's child, just like his father. ”

"Is he telling the truth?" asked the patrolman.

"It's true, Uncle Gabriel and I came for a tour. ”

The patrol officer saw Han Xuan's serious appearance, nodded and left.

Gabriel raised his fist, Han Xuan glanced at him, also clenched his fist and touched it, and said in his mouth: "I've let you take advantage again, Gabriel, uncle!"

"Haha. It's getting better and better, nephew. ”

Dodging Gabriel's outstretched hand, Han Xuan turned his head to look back and forth, found the familiar clock tower, and pointed: "This way, it's not far from the front."

After some bargaining yesterday, the North American screening rights of "This Killer Is Not Too Cold" were still obtained by Han Xuan, and Bastião postponed his return to Paris. Stay in the hotel and wait for Guo Muzhou to arrive and sign a contract for a well-paid screening.

He was also joined by director Luc Besson. Sell a film adaptation rights that no one wants, get $200,000 for nothing, and look forward to getting the check tonight.

Han Xuan doesn't know how much money "Nikita" can help him make in the future, but if he can broadcast four consecutive seasons on the TV station, the ratings will definitely not be bad, and he has already called his grandfather to talk about it. Finally handed in a passing answer sheet.

Today is a good day, more than 20 meters wide on the river, you can see people driving small sailboats drifting by, heading west into the East River.

In the white fog, you can faintly see the shadows of the skyscrapers in Manhattan on the other side of the East River, and I don't know which one will come into close contact with the plane in a few years.

Los Angeles is not a good place to build tall buildings. Experts say that with the current seismic technology, it can be built up to about 450 meters, and the shape will be more traditional.

When Han Xuan heard his grandfather say the tradition, he knew that it meant rustic, and he used the recent large investment and tight funds as an excuse to postpone the plan to build a new high-rise building.

The old man had no objection, saying that it was just a hardship for the employees of the SOS Group, and he had to squeeze in the old building for a few years, and told his grandson that he planned to find a good plot of land in New York first, and that he had not yet found the ideal location, so he entrusted this matter to Donald, a new real estate tycoon in New York

This small town at your foot is special in that it was rebuilt by archaeologists according to blueprints from hundreds of years ago, and everything remains as it was in the old western town.

Walking on the road, you can hear the clanging of iron from the blacksmith shop, and there are many metal knick-knacks and knives placed at the door for sale to tourists.

The old horse-drawn carriage passed by, the driver was wearing a red piccolo drummer uniform, a high hat with two big heads, and the smell of roasted tea cakes from the tea room wafted in the air, mixed with the smell of smoked ham next door, and the old shopkeeper smiled and peddled meat sausages to Han Xuan.

The windows of old inns and buildings were equipped with shutters from China, and through the doors of the inn, you can see that there are many ceramics on display inside, and it is said that if the hotel did not have Chinese porcelain, it would not be a high-class hotel in the West.

All the way along, I saw an old flour mill with a unique shape, round like a yurt, with red brick walls exposed to the outside, and a large windmill on the conical roof, which seemed to be broken, and the whole thing was painted with white paint as an ornament.

The surrounding garden is more than 10 meters wide and is planted with half-human-tall evergreen shrubs red leaf privet, some of which have not survived the scorching summer of New York after planting, and the leaves have withered and yellowed, and have not had time to be removed.

On the balcony on the second floor, Anya was drawing absentmindedly, and saw someone coming from a distance, turned her head to look at the side of the road, and after finding a familiar figure, she shook the palette in her hand to attract attention.

After Han Xuan found her, he waved his hand and walked into the crimson bushes from the gravel path, and when the downstairs door was just opened, the girl smiled and said, "I thought you wouldn't be able to find the way, come in, my mother is painting, be quiet, she will be irritable." ”

"We won't bother, just wander around. Wright said, and the others nodded in agreement, Cecilia didn't have a TV, and it would be crazy boring to stay inside.

Han Xuan understood their thoughts, and said with a smile: "Call you when I go back, there is a pizza shop in front of the street, last time I saw it, it still sells beer, just leave someone to drive." ”

"Forget it, the boss will come over today. Owen smacked his lips and said, "As long as it's pizza, Williamsburg's pizza is really good." ”

"Bring the money today, don't ask me to ransom you like last time. ”

Owen blushed, shook his hand and said, "Let's go!"

Han Xuanmu saw them leave, turned around and asked Anya, "Why did you call me over?"

"As a model, I'm practicing portraiture. ”

"I suddenly remembered that something was going on, and I was leaving" (To be continued.) )
