Chapter 649: You can't come in vain

Why pretend? Because she probably has found a better man than herself, at least for now, it seems very likely, and it is also possible that she doesn't want to leave here. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Here she is a complete person, and her life is completely new. When she returned to the capital, she seemed to be half a person, and the other half was blocked by her own shadow.

This is the traditional side of her, who has personal ideas and pursuits, but does not want to be blamed by others. If she didn't mention it, she would probably bury all this deep in her heart, and return to China next spring with her graduation certificate and degree certificate to marry herself, and live the rest of her life in peace.

Even if you know that you have other women outside, and even have children, as long as you don't pierce this layer of window paper, you will still be submissive. Because she feels that she owes herself, this is not love, nor is it husband and wife, it is a debt.

"Duke, can you order me a dinner? Tomorrow is my birthday, and I'm going to spend it with my fiancée tonight. It's best to eat seafood, I like to eat lobster!" When Jin Yue walked into the school gate, Hong Tao came out of the restaurant and walked back to the hotel. At the door, I saw the black guy from last night again, and I didn't say, another ten yuan, nothing to do.

"No problem, there's a joint oyster house behind Quincy Market, which has been in business for more than two hundred years, and it also has a special box for the Kennedy family. My brother is the waiter there, how about half past eight? Sir, I don't need to call you a limousine, the one with a bar in it, I think your fiancée will be happier. "The black guy is really a material for the service industry, not only do you have to do what the guests say, but also have better suggestions.

"Wouldn't it be your brother who drove the limousine?" Hong Tao smiled, gave him another five yuan, and then turned around and left.

Don't believe a black man and who you say is his brother, in their minds, all black people in the world are brothers and sisters, and if they meet and live in the same neighborhood, they are brothers.

Why did you go? There was still a long time before the afternoon, and Hong Tao didn't want to stay in the hotel all the time, wouldn't it be a trip for nothing, and he had to go around.

Forget about college, I just watched it for more than an hour, and I came to the conclusion that the quality of Boston girls is worrying, which may have something to do with race. Anyone who has been to the British Isles will definitely agree with this point of view, there are very few beauties in that place, and when I see one coldly, I still have a small sesame grain on my face when I get closer.

If you can't see the big white legs, then look at the scenery and human history. Boston claims to be the epitome of the history of American independence and founding, and there is certainly no shortage of this aspect next to a river.

Hong Tao's scenic journey starts on the Charles River, and like New York, there are special boats to take tourists along the river, but the destination is slightly different. Cruises in New York go to the Statue of Liberty, and cruises in Boston go to the Charlestown Navy Yard to see the USS Constitution.

Hong Tao likes sail warships very much, because he has not only piloted but also built, as soon as he sees the layers of masts, the dense cables like fishing nets, and the sails like clouds, he will think of the past and the pride of the four seas.

It's a pity that the three-masted battleship is parked on the shore all year round, and only on the day of the American National Day does it come out for a turn, and now you can only go to the USS Constitution Museum on the shore. Since he was not allowed to board the ship, Hong Tao had no interest, and went directly back to the south bank of the Charles River by boat and landed from North Point.

When he got off the boat, Hong Tao asked the bearded captain what was there to turn here, and the bearded captain didn't say a word, picked up a free map distributed to tourists, brushed a few strokes on it, drew a zigzag route, and noted next to it, Freedom Trail.

As soon as you hear the name Hong Tao, you will know that the scenery is finished, and now the journey of humanities and history begins.

Fortunately, the real urban area of Boston is not large, and it is only four or five square kilometers in circumference.

In this respect, Boston's urban planning is a bit similar to Paris, and it is called the Paris Region and the Boston Region. Looking at the map, the real urban area is only a small circle in the middle, and the others are satellite cities. For example, Harvard University is not strictly located in Boston, and the place is called Cambridge, which has nothing to do with Boston.

With a map, Hong Tao is not afraid of anyone, and walking according to the map is a basic skill. In fact, there is no need to be afraid if you don't have a map, this so-called Freedom Road, there is a red brick line on the sidewalks along the way, and you can't go wrong if you follow this line.

The first stop is quite unlucky, it is a cemetery, called Reliable Mountain. The name is reliable, but the mountain is not reliable at all. Lao Mei is really thick-skinned, and she dares to call the mountain with a total of three floors of dirt bags. If you follow this algorithm, Jingshan should be called Jingfeng in the future, and it sounds like it has to be thousands of meters.

Whether it is reliable or not Hong Tao is not clear, he didn't go up, he passed by directly. By the way, I bought a large ice cream roll next to it, two yuan, the size of Zhennima, and it was almost in time for the Olympic torch. This thing must be licked and eaten, and the children passing by will be hungry!

The second stop is also a little interesting, called Reveil's House. This Revere is a celebrity in the United States, similar to the protagonist in my country's chicken feather letters. However, he did not die at the time, and was later promoted.

What the hell did he do, he was promoted and famous? In fact, he didn't do anything, he just rode a horse and sent a letter, telling the American militia at that time that the British lobster soldiers were coming to sneak attack, and the villagers hurriedly copied the guys, and planted mines to blow up their little girl!

Sending a letter is indeed a heroic act, but Hong Tao feels that there is a more glorious side to him. Because he had a big house, and he was a good goldsmith.

The two-story spire building, with at least seven or eight rooms with attics, was considered middle class in the New World in the eighteenth century. If you have nothing to do to make some gold and silver utensils to sell, you don't have to worry about eating or drinking, and if you are diligent and have a little vision, you will become rich in minutes.

But he resolutely abandoned his family and business to deliver a message to the militia, which means that the colony people will finally win, and if the British win the war? No matter what age it is, everyone hates those who give news to the enemy.

Therefore, he is much more noble than the poor who have no food to eat and are forced to rebel, and this is a person with ideals.

Just south of his house, there is a steeple cathedral that is also a historical artifact, and it is related to Revere. At that time, he rode a horse not to deliver letters, but to probe the reality of the British army, to see whether the lobster soldiers would come from land or water. But how to tell the militia the news in time, the answer lies in the spire of this church.

This church is called the Old North Church, with a red base and a white spire, silly high. At that time, two red lanterns were hung at the highest point of the church, which was the long-range light signal system of Revere.

The British hung one lantern when they attacked from the water, and two when they came up from the land. To this day, two lanterns hang on the steeple of the church all year round to commemorate that moment hundreds of years ago.

Further south is Faneuil Hall and Quincy Market, the American version of the Munich Beer Hall, where Samuel Adams and his group gave speeches calling on the colonists to rise up for independence.

Hong Tao was not interested in him, but went straight to the United Oyster House where he was going to have dinner with Jin Yue in the evening. He was not very worried about the mouth of the black guy, so he happened to pass by, so he would investigate the field first.

The result is still very satisfied, there are more than 10 people lined up here at noon, and the business is good. The wooden three-story restaurant looks like an old object, and the grade is enough.

In fact, there are many Italian-style seafood restaurants around, but it has characteristics and good business. If there weren't too many people, Hong Tao would have wanted to try it first. But look at the watch, forget it, buy a hot dog mat on the side of the road, and keep your stomach for seafood at night.

From here, the red line on the sidewalk began to turn westward, and Hong Tao followed with a hot dog, and a street through the old parliament hall, where the Declaration of Independence was read from its balcony.

A little further north, there will be a huge manhole cover on the ground. Of course, this is not a manhole cover, but a symbol of the Boston Massacre site, which became the trigger for the American Revolution.

Guess how many people were brutally killed by the British lobster soldiers in this massacre? After reading the introduction on the tourist map in his hand, Hong Tao felt that something was not quite right, and the things that were distributed for free must be prone to mistakes, so he deliberately went to the sign next to the ruins to read it carefully, and then turned around and left.

Isn't this nonsense, what a fuse, what a massacre, the British are really wronged. A total of five people were killed in the riots, and they were actually called a massacre by the Americans, which is too petty.

Not to mention this kind of thing, in the eighteenth century, when human life was inferior to dogs, even in the twenty-first century, if there is a random school shooting, ten or eight people who do not die are embarrassed to be on the news.

This Nima is Adams's group at that time deliberately made excuses to stir up trouble, just like in ancient China, no matter who rebelled, they always had to find a reasonable reason, and they couldn't say that I got up in the morning and was going to rebel with a gun.

So this so-called massacre is an excuse, if the British don't shoot at that time, the Americans themselves have to stab a few to death, and then count this account on the heads of the British, which becomes the fuse again.

Hong Tao annoyed others to fool him, and after leaving the site of the Holocaust, he had little interest in this road to freedom. But it's still early, and I don't have a place to go, so let's keep going. But it's not so serious, at most it's a glance at the introduction, and if you're interested, go over and look at it twice, and skip it if you're not interested.

As I walked, I saw a donkey made of copper on the side of the road, one to one size, and there was a sign in front of the donkey. When I looked closer, there was an elephant on the sign. Donkeys and elephants, the symbols of the Democratic Party and the Republican Party, are here in their origins.
