The mixed-race boy spoke English, so Tang Wen said in English: "My friend invited me to New Zealand, and I guess this trip is a tour." ”

Tang Wen's original English was still stuck in Li Lei and Han Meimei's books, but Xiao Bai was able to understand the language of all living beings with her special fusion method, and now that Xiao Bai had become a part of Tang Wen, Tang Wen had acquired this skill, which made him like a treasure.

The mixed-race boy was a little surprised: "You speak English very well, let me know, my name is Leo, you have been reading books on New Zealand ranches, do you want to go to ranches?"

"Hello, my name is Tang Wen, and my friend runs a farm near Dunedin, so I'm interested. Tang Wendao.

Leo nodded, pointing to the tourists around him and said, "They generally don't stay too long and don't feel the real rural charm, if you have the opportunity, you must stay longer." ”

"Definitely. ”

"My dad runs a farm near Dunedin, maybe we'll have a chance to meet, it's my phone number and we can keep in touch often. ”

In addition to the novelty at the beginning of the long journey, the rest is exhaustion and boredom, Tang Wen chatted a lot with Leo, Leo is a very familiar boy, plus he is not very old, and his mental strength is very strong, so he introduced a lot of pastoral anecdotes to Tang Wen.

When he finally arrived at Welllandon, Leo took out his luggage and said enthusiastically: "Don, when you have time, you must go to my house and race horses with me." ”

Tang Wen smiled bitterly and nodded, he had made it clear before that he would not ride a horse, but Leo promised to teach Tang Wen, Tang Wen had to agree, after all, he wanted to run the manor here, and he would have to contact Leo in the future.

Today's weather is very clear, and you can see a blue sky when you look up.

Welllandon's proximity to the bay and the "Windy City" is across the sea from the South Island, and Tang Wen has to take a ferry and then a car to get to Dunedin.

In the distance, you can see many green hillsides, and the red tiled bungalows around are very eye-catching, although this is a very developed cultural center, but the natural atmosphere is very strong, Tang Wen looked around, and felt that the fatigue of the trip was swept away.

"Dear Don!"

In the distance, a fair-skinned man waved his arms vigorously, the man looked to be about thirty years old, and his facial features were deeper than Leo's.

Tang Wen saw Charlie's photo, walked over with a smile and said, "Hello Charlie, thank you for coming to pick me up." ”

Charlie saw that Tang Wen spoke English fluently, and exclaimed: "Being able to speak English here can save you a lot of trouble, dear Tang, do you want to play around for a few days or go directly to the manor?"

Tang Wen thought for a while and said, "Go directly to the manor, there should be many opportunities to play in the future." ”

"Okay, we're going to take the boat first, we're still some way to the manor, and the scenery along the way is pretty good. ”

Tang Wen nodded and followed Charlie to the port by car.

There were a lot of boats in the port, and Tang Wen and Charlie lined up to board the ferry after being checked.

There were some tourists on the deck taking pictures, and from time to time a few birds that Tang Wen couldn't name flew by, and although the roar of the steamers here came from time to time, it did not make Tang Wen feel as harsh as he heard in the garment factory.

The seats of the two were on the second floor of the ferry, by the window, and as soon as Tang Wen took his seat, a blue-eyed tall waitress came over and asked, "Do you two need something?"

The waitress's voice was tactful, and today's good weather made people feel more happy, Tang Wen was very relaxed, and asked Charlie with his eyes, Charlie said after seeing it: "How about two glasses of ice water?"

Tang Wen didn't have any opinions, he changed some New Zealand dollars before he came, New Zealand dollars were as colorful as oil paintings, Tang Wen paid, his eyes fell around, obviously a little curious, after all, he was going abroad for the first time.

The ferry ended in a city called Picton, and the journey would not be too long, and Tang Wen finally began to experience the joy of travel.

Although the surrounding sounds were a little noisy, the ferry had not yet set sail, and the wind and waves in the harbor were not particularly strong, and there was a strange silence when looking out.

The sea in the distance was calm, and Tang Wen leaned back in his chair a little lazily, looking forward to the strange but challenging life ahead.

"Buzz!"

A very penetrating buzzing sound sounded, Tang Wen felt the sea around him move, the bow of the ship cut through the water, and continued to move towards the deep sea, Tang Wen stretched his head out of the window with great interest, and saw that the port was getting farther and farther away, and the waves around him began to roll, staring at it for a long time, making him feel dizzy.

I don't know how long it took, Tang Wen was woken up, he opened his eyes and saw the passengers around him getting off the boat one after another, and said to Charlie: "I actually fell asleep." ”

"It's a hard journey, you can sleep a little longer while I'm driving. Charlie said.

Tang Wen followed Charlie off the boat, and saw that there were many ferries stopping at the port of Picton, and tourists from all over the world gathered here, which seemed quite prosperous.

There are many Chinese people here, not only tourists, but also some international students and immigrants.

Turning around to the parking lot, Tang Wen boarded Charlie's jeep, and when he saw Charlie turning neatly onto the road, he asked, "How long have you been in the manor?"

"It's been five years. ”

Charlie glanced in the rearview mirror and recalled: "I worked as a bartender for a while after graduation, and then went to several estates to do odd jobs, until Manager Bai hired me to take care of the winery for a long time, I have been helping out at Penglai Manor." ”

"Isn't it boring to be alone in the manor, aren't you?" Tang Wen said.

"Manager Bai is very mysterious, he has such a large manor, but he rarely shows up, and I took a look, except for the winery, the manor is not bad, many things need to be repaired, and the fields and gardens are not taken care of, Manager Bai gives me a very high salary, and I also want to help take care of it, but the manor is too big, and I can't be busy alone. ”

Tang Wen chatted with Charlie for a few more words, watching the scenery on both sides retreat quickly, and he didn't feel sleepy for a while.

Opening the car window and feeling the breeze, Tang Wen felt very comfortable, it was already late autumn at home, but here it was the opposite, it was about to enter summer.

Tang Wen occasionally looked at the scenery outside the window, occasionally looked at the books he brought, until the sky turned yellow, and he realized that the sun was about to set.

"It's almost nine o'clock. ”

Tang Wen looked at his watch, the sunset was late in New Zealand when it was almost summer, and there were no bustling streets outside the car, and all he could see were lush fields and forests.

"We're almost there. Charlie gestured into the distance.

Tang Wen looked into the distance and saw that the end of the road led to the hills, and standing in it, he must have been able to clearly see the surrounding scenery.

The jeep approached the manor, and the first thing Tang Wen saw was the ancient copper gate, followed by a circular fountain, but now there was no water inside.

Behind the fountain is a five-story building with delicate patterns on the walls and arched gates, which look very magnificent.

Charlie parked the car next to the fountain, glanced around and said, "Manager Bai is not here today, let me take you to visit." ”
