475 Brussels
"Fourteen, fourteen, wake up, the plane is ready to land!" Fourteen, roar, fourteen ......" There was an incomparably loud sound in his ears, as if a thousand crows were screaming in his ears at the same time, and it was so noisy that it pulled Lu Li out of his drowsy sleep.
Tearing off the blindfold, he opened his eyes in a daze, and then he couldn't help but close his eyes again - the huge face that was close at hand, the super magnified version, passed through the barrier of the partition, and bloomed directly above him, like a / chrysanthemum / flower, if he was not mentally prepared, he would probably be scared half to death, but even if he was mentally prepared, Lu Li still closed his eyes reflexively.
Such a picture is really too visually impactful, and people can't bear to look at it directly. Lu Li raised his hand to cover his face, and couldn't help complaining, "I'm not interested in studying your pores." If it's not a witch casting a spell, you'd better stay away, and the saliva will stay. ”
In the face of Lu Li's full firepower, the person in front of him has long been invulnerable, after all, he has seen a lot of getting along in the olive garden. He ignored it directly and patted Lu Li's shoulder hard, "You've slept for so long, and you're about to send out your last meal, you definitely won't want to miss it." ”
"Didn't you just say that you were going to land soon? Now it's the last meal?" Lu Li rolled his eyes speechlessly, he regretted it a little, why did he nod and agree to Fred's request? This seems to be a wrong decision.
After Lu Li and his family went back, Fred did not leave in a hurry, but stopped at the Cloud Peak Ranch. After running around for more than half a year, he has always been on the move, sleeping in the open air, and now that he has finally stopped, he naturally plans to enjoy the leisure and comfort of the holiday, so he became a "coolie" again in Yunfeng Ranch.
The pasture has been busy lately, the organic farms have begun to plough and sow seeds, the stables have been in a commotion because of the change of season, the vineyards have begun to start planting for the new season, and even the Leyland sheep have come to harvest their wool again...... It's not that there aren't enough people, but it's always good to have an extra pair of hands.
Fred easily stepped into a "new" role and became a strong helper at Cloud Top Ranch.
At the busiest time of the ranch, Lu Li and Tony had to leave, because the Brussels Wine Competition was about to kick off, and the wines of Yunding Winery successfully completed the registration, screening and preliminary identification, and entered the official part of the competition. Lu Li and Tony must travel to Brussels in person to participate in the competition.
Not only for the sake of the competition itself, the event requires the winery to send representatives, but also for the network management, this is the first time that the winery has appeared on the stage, and it is the world stage as soon as it comes up, whether it is a blockbuster or a flash, success or failure in one fell swoop.
Luckily, Cloud Ranch has a group of incredibly capable cowboys and a group of friends who are always ready to help, and even without Lu Li and Tony, the ranch can still function normally.
After learning about Lu Li's itinerary, Fred couldn't wait to express his anticipation, and he also hoped to go with him. Europe is still an unknown continent for him, and after leaving Alaska, it is really suitable to use Europe as the next stop to explore. Fred can go on the itinerary again and explore as he plays.
If all goes well, Fred will stay in Europe and explore the continent after his trip to Brussels, but if inspiration is not enough, Fred will return to the United States with Lu Li again, where he can continue his vacation or his journey.
So, Fred joined Lu Li and Tony and left the North American continent and flew to Europa. But now, Lu Li began to regret it.
Looking at the sleepy-eyed Lu Li in front of him, Fred scratched his head and laughed twice. He also thought that Lu Li was asleep just now, and he didn't hear his words clearly, but he didn't expect it, and he was directly exposed. However, Fred didn't care about such embarrassment, waved his hand, as if he had swept away a fly, and said excitedly, "I'm right, there are still two hours to land, and it's really fast." After speaking, he added, "Compared to our entire trip." ”
I can't refute that. Lu Li rubbed his eyes and chuckled involuntarily.
It's been a long journey.
Flying from Austin to New York and from New York to Brussels is a frustrating flight of more than 20 hours across the North American continent and across the Atlantic Ocean.
Luckily, the group had purchased a first-class cabin where they could lay down and sleep, otherwise the trip would have been even more painful. But even so, sleeping is not too peaceful, and it is really discouraging to wake up from falling asleep only to find that it is still on the plane.
Now Fred finally understands why human beings have the dream of flying, but they still have to return to the land. Down-to-earth, the sea and the sky, that feeling is different after all, which can also be understood as human rejection of bondage and yearning for freedom.
After Fred's interruption, Lu Li was almost sober, sat up straight, straightened the back of the chair, stretched a big lazy waist, and crossed the partition to protect privacy, and then saw Tony raise the whiskey in his hand, staring at a chicken coop, his face full of lovelessness. It seems that before him, Fred had woken up Tony first.
"Whiskey?" Lu Li looked at the amber liquid, he didn't look at the time, and he didn't know what time zone they were in now, but he just woke up and chose whiskey, was this too heavy taste?
Tony raised his head and glanced at Lu Li, "It's not too difficult to choose between soda and whiskey. ”
Lu Li shrugged, "I can't think about it now, high-altitude pressure, or jet lag pressure." But that means whisky is the right choice. This teasing remark made both Tony and Fred laugh sullenly.
"Fourteen, fourteen, what kind of city is Brussels?" Fred's itinerary has taken most of the United States and extended to Canada, but he has never left the North American continent, and his first arrival in Europe is inevitably a little excited and excited.
The United States is a country of immigrants, founded for a very short time, and its culture and history are inherited from Europe, and then form its own characteristics and models, and gradually develop its own culture. Of course, such a culture lacks heritage and precipitation, and is more like a modern extension that is open to countless possibilities. Now, at last, it is possible to come to Europe, the birthplace of many arts and cultures, and for Fred, who studied art, it was naturally difficult to put into words.
"I wouldn't say it's a city with character, but I wouldn't say it's a mediocre city. Lu Li also felt his stomach growl and began to look forward to the upcoming meal, "It's called the capital of Europe, but the capital, you know, Washington is not New York after all." But that's the most interesting thing about Europe, every city has its own history, its own culture, its own characteristics, it's the same for the small towns, the same for the cities, and the same for the capitals. The point is, can you find out?"
Listening to Lu Li's meaningful words, Fred smiled, and then gave Lu Li a heavy shoulder on the shoulder, "Lest others don't know that you are from a journalism major?" The complaining ridicule made Tony chuckle, and Lu Li was helpless, "But, I understand what you mean, I'll enjoy this city." ”
"Sir. There was a call behind him, it was a flight attendant, and the meal was about to be delivered. Fred hurriedly said hello and walked quickly back to his position, avoiding taking up space in the aisle. Of course, Lu Li thought that Fred couldn't wait to eat, and he seemed to hear the sound in Fred's stomach just now.
Lu Li put away the quilt, lifted the light shield next to it, and then saw the thin clouds like smoke staggered on the crystal clear lake, the thick and deep blue, boundless, occasionally you can see a piece of off-white sand dotted with it, the unknown island, scattered scattered in the vast sea, calm like a lake on the top of the cloud pasture.
Faintly, it seems that large tracts of land can be seen. Logically speaking, it should be the British Isles, but Lu Li expressed strong suspicions, after a long sleep and a long flight, he has now lost a sense of bearing, he should take a look at the navigation chart and confirm their location, otherwise, there are so many islands scattered in the Atlantic, and if one of them is determined to be England, the British will definitely disagree.
Two hours is even longer than expected, mainly because I have flown too long before, and after watching a movie, I came back to my senses and there were still nearly thirty minutes. After going to Europe in the future, Lu Li decided to rest and adjust in New York for a few days, otherwise this vigorous flight would indeed be too torturous.
The last time they came to Paris, how did they persevere?
After a jolty taxi, the plane finally landed, giving it a long breath. After docking, the first-class guests were the first to leave the cabin, which made Lu Li let out a long breath, and his feet on the ground couldn't help but float a little. Like a madman, Fred ran back and forth in the passage a few times until his feet were fully adjusted, and then he calmed down.
"So, this is Brussels?" Fred stood by the passageway, peering through the floor-to-ceiling glass, and nodded to himself, "At the very least, this sky is no less than Alaska's." It's just that Alaska is clearer and more mellow here. I'm starting to love it here. ”
