"Boom...... Rumble ......"

Wave after wave of vibrations whistled by, just left the parking lot, you can feel the restlessness and excitement in the air, even if you can't see the surging crowd in sight, you can still feel the ubiquitous crowd breath, surging. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Brandon's pace quickened slightly, came to the side of the street, looked at a group of young people not far away, raised their beer glasses, sang and laughed loudly, "Long live the Queen" singing intermittently, as if participating in a carnival, which made Brandon also a little eager to try, turned his head, looked at Lu Li and Tony who were behind, and said loudly, "Let's go." ”

Brandon like this is even more excited than he was in Burgundy before. The difference is that it was the power of alcohol at that time, and today Brandon is completely sober and completely sober, and the only thing that can make him so excited is the horses.

After leaving France, they arrived in England, but did not stop in London, making their way to Antree Racecourse in Liverpool.

In the UK, horse racing is a very important sport, not as an occasion for gambling, but as a place for daily consumption like cinemas, theatres and pubs. Not only are there daily horse races every day, but there are also several major horse racing events a year, which are attended even by members of the royal family.

It can be said that horse racing is one of the important social occasions for British people.

Lu Li did not rush directly to the racecourse, but came to the racecourse to experience the British horse racing culture up close and truly immerse himself in it. Looking at Brandon's expectant back, you know that this decision is the right one, although Brandon is a horse breeder, and there are many racecourses in the United States, but when it comes to orthodox horse racing culture, you still have to come to the United Kingdom.

Once you've purchased your ticket to get in, you'll be able to see the quintessential English countryside.

Next to the bustling streets, there are red mailboxes that read, "Stay calm, and go home as winners," apparently calling for more horses, and neatly manicured potted plants and bouquets are delicately arranged, some in the shape of horses, some in the shape of trophies, and some in the shape of riders, each with its own name, which seems to have a source and history.

The ladies were dressed up in beautiful gowns, elegant top hats, and even gloves, like Victorian aristocrats, and gentlemen in suits and leather shoes, white shirts and checked suits, with canes in their hands and cigars in their mouths, like graceful gentlemen, attending the banquets of high society.

And, of course, young people, young people who represent the future of the UK. They were dressed in proper formal attire, suits and dresses, but they were all crumpled by this time, and some even walked the streets bare-chested/bare-breasted, with beer glasses in their hands, cheering, singing, and screaming, as if they were tearing the shackles that bound the older generation and breaking out of the world.

It's still morning, and the day may have barely begun, but they're already getting lost in the alcohol and partying.

This is Britain, young and old, open and conservative.

When they walked to the first fork in the road, two "long-legged" girls walked towards them, making Lu Li and the three of them raise their heads, and the smiles on their faces rose with the arc of their heads.

I saw that the two girls were stepping on stilts, and their slender thighs looked like there was no end; they were both wearing red cake dresses, and the layers of lotus edges were flying with the dancing of the two people, and the upper body was wearing a vest to wrap the chest, outlining the grace of the chest line to the fullest; the wonderful body proportions have a different style.

The two girls boldly lifted their skirts, stepped forward enthusiastically, and took pictures with passing tourists, surrounded by a large group of people, and the scene was so lively.

Behind the girl, a two-person tall potted plant, trimmed into a wine barrel, contains two bottles of champagne, and the huge brand logo hangs on the barrel. Lu Li guessed that this should be one of the sponsors of the racecourse, and it was also the main sponsor.

Lu Li couldn't help but tease, "Aren't you going to take pictures for nostalgia?"

Tony didn't answer at all, he directly expressed his actions and strode forward, "Girls, can you take a picture with us?"

"Of course!" the two girls laughed brightly, and then Tony waved his hand vigorously, "Come on, come quickly." ”

Lu Li and Brandon exchanged glances, both of them laughed, let go of their hands and feet, and stepped forward together, and then Lu Li handed the phone to an Englishman next to him and invited him to help take pictures, recording this precious moment.

After actually entering the racetrack, all words turned pale. Verdant green meadows spread out in the center, reddish-brown runways smelled of sticky earth, and the restlessness in the air could be felt in the stables at the far end...... In a world where white and green are the main colors, colors such as red and blue are surging, and the vitality is beating lightly.

On the stands, the crowd was extremely crowded, and the heat and turbulence of the rubbing shoulders made Lu Li feel that he had returned to the Spring Festival scene again.

Lu Li looked around for the number of seats in the row, and Tony turned his head to Brandon and shouted, "Shall we buy a horse?"

In sight, most of the audience has found their place and sat down, people are holding not horse scriptures, but beer and drinks, and people are not immersed in researching how to win, but chatting with their friends, which is why the British prefer to call "horse racing" rather than "betting on horses". Buying a horse is something that anyone can buy, but it's only part of the fun experience, not an important purpose.

"Buy. Brandon shouted, "Let's go over and see, Fourteen, do you need anything? Or do you want to come with us?"

"Go over and I'll go find a seat. Lu Li looked at the seat number, "No. 27 in the fourth row, I'll go over first, and then you guys come to me." I want popcorn, and beer. By the way, are there creamy strawberries?"

"Butter Strawberry, you think this is Wimbledon?" Tony complained with a smile, and then turned around with Brandon, and the crowd that had been cathartic like a torrent did not help, and the two of them had to step aside, and then leaned their backs against the chair, moving back step by step, which was extremely difficult.

Lu Li began to move down the crowd, counted backwards from the first row, found the fourth row, whispered "sorry" all the way, and found the location of the three of them.

Sitting next to her was a gray-haired old woman, wearing a small white top hat, a set of bright yellow dress and a small white coat, as if she was watching the ballet performance of "Swan Lake".

"Good morning. Lu Li took the initiative to say hello, and the old lady turned her head and showed an elegant smile, "Good morning, young man." She looked at Lu Li's outfit carefully, "First time at the racecourse, clams?"

Lu Li looked at his navy blue shirt and light brown cropped pants, "Is there something wrong with this?

"No, there's nothing wrong with that. The old lady shook her head with a smile, "It's just that we'll all be more formal." Because in the past, when we were going to be on such occasions, maybe the queen would show up, and we needed to behave decently, wouldn't we? But now young people don't ask so much, and the queen hasn't been to the racecourse for a long time. ”

"Queen?" Lu Li showed a surprised expression and began to talk with great interest. The old lady seemed very satisfied, and it was rare that someone was willing to make small talk with her and listen to her nagging, which was really good.

Before they knew it, Brandon and Tony had already returned, and the two of them were loudly discussing the purchase of the horse just now, and after sitting down next to Lu Li, the two of them noticed Lu Li's new partner, "Hey, we noticed, in a short period of time, you have made new friends, don't you introduce us to them?"

"This is Brandon, this is Tony. Lu Li took the initiative to introduce, and then looked at the old lady next to him, "By the way, I forgot to introduce myself, I'm fourteen." ”

"Oh, I'm Catherine. The old lady held out her right hand and introduced herself, "I'm from Liverpool. ”

"No one can say no to Anfield. Lu Li's words made Catherine laugh, "You're like George, he's always talking about Anfield, he's still a member there, and until now, I still get season tickets for the team every year." ”

Lu Li noticed Catherine's use of "past tense", and if he was not mistaken, perhaps George had died.

"Sport has always played an irreplaceable role for men. I think, at the very least, he is not a racing collector. Lu Li's teasing made Catherine smile.

"Catherine, Fourteen's rhetoric is always pleasing to the eye, don't let him fool you. Tony sat next to him and complained, "He's a rugby fanatic. ”

"Really?" Catherine frowned, but then patted Lu Li's arm, "You're such a little sweetheart, aren't you?" Although I've never been a fan of rugby, it's a rude sport. ”

Rude sports.

Lu Li was really amused, and he nodded at Catherine, "No matter how old you are, you are still a lady and a lady." This is what my grandmother taught me. ”

"Oh. Your grandmother must be a lady. A big smile crossed Catherine's face.

"Catherine, allow me. Tony handed the beer to Catherine, "Or are you more inclined to ...... This?" Then, Tony handed over the creamy strawberry in his other hand. Tony glanced at Lu Li by the way, these were Lu Li's snacks, but Lu Li didn't mind and looked at Catherine with a smile.

Catherine was stunned, but then she felt the friendly smiles of Lu Li, Tony, and Brandon, and nodded, "Please give me a beer." One glass is enough, it's still morning, and I can't drink too much. Otherwise, when you go home, you will hear nagging again. Catherine graciously took the beer, smiling.
