Chapter Twenty-Six: Portree and Old Man Peak

Because Remel Gulliver only painted a picture of the valley, without directly marking the location, coupled with the changes in Sky Island over the years, it is difficult to directly confirm where this location is, there is no way, Bai Yujing and Emma decided to visit the entire Sky Island, after all, the area of Sky Island is not large, as long as you explore carefully, you can always find the right location.

Bai Yujing and Emma drove together to Portree, the most prosperous town on Sky Island, along the way the sky was clear, the breeze was gusting, the weeds and shrubs on the side of the road were swaying in the wind, the strange-shaped rocks, cattle and sheep were walking around, there was a feeling that the wind was blowing the grass and seeing the cattle and sheep, and Bai Yujing was paying attention to the scenery along the way to see if he could find anything.

As the central town of Sky Island, Portree is indeed much more prosperous than other places, and when you enter the town, you will find that there are cars coming and going, and there is no longer the feeling that a car was empty on the mountain road before, Portree is a seaside town, also known as King's Port, which sounds very imposing.

Emma parked the car: "Let's go down and have a look, Portree is the transit center of Skye, it is more convenient to go anywhere, and the town is not big, we can come down and have a look." ”

Along the way, people come and go, this season of the Sky Island is simply the most prosperous in the world, full of tourists, but also because of the fame of the Sky Island, as the core of the Portley Town, it is also difficult to see the aborigines, almost every house has been transformed into B& B& amp; Hotel B, and then the place of business, even so, Bai Yujing has not been able to book a room in Portery, which can see the hot situation here.

The parking lots on the streets are full of seabirds, the top of the vehicles that stop at the top of the street and make noises, the stone streets, the quaint stone walls, and the old wooden benches that Bai Yujing and Emma have made together, and there are puppet statues on and on the sides of the wooden chairs, a woman and two children.

"Tick tock!"

As soon as Bai Yujing and Emma came down for a turn, they found that the sky was clear and cloudy, and it was raining, and the tourists on both sides immediately dispersed, looking for a place to hide from the rain.

Bai Yujing opened his backpack very calmly, took out the umbrella inside, stretched it out and covered the top of the two of them, and did it in one go, as if he had been prepared.

Emma laughed, "You've been clever in your preparation. ”

Bai Yujing nodded: "Of course, you know, in Scotland, what impresses me is the rainy day, because you don't know when it will suddenly come down and drench you into soup." ”

Along the edge of the coast there is a row of colorful huts, revealing a different scenery in the rain, opposite the sea, bringing up the oblique rain flowing sparsely on the mirror surface of the window, pink, yellow walls, with cartoon dream colors of simple signs, Bai Yujing feels that if you sit in it and watch the rain, it must be a different flavor, through the rain window and hazy vision to watch the sea in the rain, muddy streets, pedestrians holding umbrellas.

Bai Yujing couldn't help thinking about it, as the rain became heavier and heavier, the two of them found a yellow hut here and ordered a seafood meal, to avoid the storm, and while waiting quietly, Bai Yujing couldn't wait to take advantage of the rain scene to take a few pictures, combining this scene with the cars on the side of the road and the walking passengers.

"Don't eat too much, I see that there seems to be a Chinese restaurant over there, let's go there and taste it again!" Bai Yujing has been eating seafood, bread, pasta, and desserts during this time, and his nostalgia for Chinese food has become stronger and stronger, so he didn't order too much here.

After the rain stopped, Bai Yujing took Emma around the town, and walked around the circular hiking trail, with a total length of three kilometers, although there were many people in the town, but it seemed very quiet, everyone was smiling, Bai Yujing also saw two handsome guys playing with drones together, using aerial photography to shoot the pictures they wanted.

This made Bai Yujing couldn't help it, and leaned over to ask for advice very hotly, the two handsome guys were Americans, and when they saw Bai Yujing and Emma coming over, they immediately said hello.

When I knew that Bai Yujing was Chinese, I was very excited, pulling Bai Yujing and saying that their drone was a DJI brand made in China, "Made in China, Dji!"

The mobile phone on the remote control can display the picture on the high-definition camera of the drone, Bai Yujing still has some hobbies in this regard, and his eyes are full of stars, and finally he reluctantly leaves.

Emma looked at Bai Yujing with a strange expression, which made Bai Yujing a little embarrassed, "This, I'm really a little curious about drones." ”

Emma said, "I didn't expect you to be a GAY too." ”

"What?" Bai Yujing didn't understand.

Emma pointed to the two handsome guys who had been in contact with Bai Yujing before, and at this moment they were sitting together hand in hand, intimate, Bai Yujing couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, "It's all a misunderstanding, Emma, you know me." ”

Portree is a small town, and it takes about an hour to go around, and finally Bai Yujing and Emma found a Chinese restaurant, and finally ate fragrant rice, paired with braised pork and mapo tofu, Bai Yujing ate several large bowls of rice in a row before feeling happy.

"Why did you eat so much this time?" Emma used chopsticks to scoop mapo tofu into the bowl with a spoon, tasting the spicy and hot taste in it.

Bai Yujing was because the amount of food had become larger after the body transformation, but he couldn't say it clearly, so he could only blink: "No way, the physical energy consumption last night was a bit large." ”

Emma immediately blushed and stepped on Bai Yujing's foot, Bai Yujing sighed, which attracted the attention of all the customers in the restaurant, and they could only endure the pain and get up to apologize, all the customers saw Bai Yujing and Emma beside him, and immediately understood what was going on, and nodded with understanding and understanding.

Among them, there was also an elderly old man who winked at Bai Yujing, as if he was very sympathetic to Bai Yujing's scene, but he was immediately coughed twice by the old lady next to him and pulled his eyes back.

The next thing the two of them went to was the Old Man's Peak, there were also many valleys in that area, and when Bai Yujing got there, there was no parking space, so he could only park on the side of the road.

Although the name is called Old Man Peak, Bai Yujing didn't feel the slightest sense of the word old man when he watched it, saying that it was like an old man, Bai Yujing didn't feel it, maybe it was abstract and artistic conception?

"Where are you from the wrong angle, you want to come here to see!" Emma took Bai Yujing to the left side, Bai Yujing found that it was really quite similar, like a lonely old man sitting on a stone, looking into the distance, surrounded by clouds and mist, as if waiting for someone to return, very meaningful, this was originally a part of the island, and then under the continuous impact of the waves, the surrounding rocks gradually collapsed, leaving only a sea stack standing alone.

Because it had just rained and the ground was a little muddy, Bai Yujing and Emma decided not to climb the mountain, probably to see if there were any valleys around that matched the picture in the note, just walk around, and when watching the scenery, Emma called Bai Yujing over, as if she had found something.

"Did you find it? This is too smooth!" Bai Yujing immediately ran over, only to find Emma standing among a cluster of purple flowers.

Seeing Bai Yujing coming over, he immediately said: "This is the Scottish national painting, thistle, how is it, isn't it beautiful?"

Thistle is a purple flower, covered with thorns, beautiful and inviolable, this piece has a lot of this purple flower, it is indeed very beautiful, no wonder Emma specially called Bai Yujing to come and see.

Thistle flower in Europe, legend has the effect of curing diseases and driving away demons, farmers in the countryside of Eastern Europe often plant thistle at the door, or hang this plant on the patio of the barn to avoid demons, there is also a legend in Scotland, it is said that in the thirteenth century Scotland and Denmark had a war, Denmark surrounded the city of Scotland, wanted to sneak along the city wall, the soldiers who stepped into the thistle field because they stepped on the thistle, could not bear the pain and wailed, Scotland found the movement and immediately attacked, broke through the siege and won a big victory, so the thistle became the national flower of Scotland.

On the path on the side, a group of sheep came over, Bai Yujing has only seen goats in China, sheep are rare, goats are very aggressive, so when Bai Yujing saw sheep, he was still a little afraid.

"Eh, don't go over, sheep are aggressive!"

But the fellows seemed to be very docile, and Emma was even more unceremonious, and went up and took one of the lambs in her arms, and the lamb bleated, and Emma touched the lamb's fur and soothed it.

"You also come and touch it, it's very comfortable, the sheep here won't attack people!" As soon as Emma passed, Bai Yujing immediately followed behind, afraid that something would happen to her, and when she saw that there was nothing, she also touched it together.

"Ouch!" Feeling that there was something behind his buttocks, Bai Yujing was startled, and when he looked back, he found that he was blocking the path of the sheep, and the sheep arched Bai Yujing's ass, and when he saw Bai Yujing turn around, he immediately bleated, as if telling Bai Yujing to get out of the way quickly.

Emma let go of the lamb and watched the sheep walk slowly along the path, a large family.
