1013. My God (4/5)

At the beginning of May, the weather in New Zealand is getting colder and colder, and winter has officially arrived. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Although in terms of solar terms, the country has already entered winter, in fact, the real winter has just arrived, and snow, cold snaps and cold winds will gradually and frequently visit the country from May.

In the morning, Nina and Richie drove from Queenstown along Highway 8.

The two are from Arizona, a desert land where there seems to be only one season, and it's hot and hot all year round.

When Nina and Richie first fell in love, the relationship was like this, it was very hot, it seemed that they couldn't be separated for a while, and after separation, one of them would always take the initiative to find the other, and then they continued to be together.

After getting married, the relationship finally changed.

In fact, they have not been married for a long time, but it has only been a year, but the newlyweds feel that it has been ten years, and without the support of the freshness of falling in love, the heat between them has become restless.

Nina is a photographer who interned at National Geographic magazine and has an unusual passion for travel and photography.

Richie, on the other hand, is a newspaper editor who prefers a quiet life, and only a quiet environment allows him to organize his words into beautiful passages.

In many ways, the two men were different, but before they got married, they thought it was a match made in heaven. After getting married, friction began to arise between the two who lacked a common language.

Nina has a dream to travel around the world, so she worked very hard and was usually frugal in order to save money to support her dreams.

Richie didn't have such an idea, his dream was to build a comfortable cabin on the edge of Alaska's snowy forest, and then stay in that quiet place, quiet reading, quiet writing, quiet viewing of the aurora in winter, and quiet watching the sunrise in summer.

Finally one day, the two began to attack each other's dreams, Americans regard dreams as more important than privacy, and Xing Ye's sentence 'What is the difference between a person without a dream and a salted fish', it is most suitable to send them.

After the ferocious attack, the relationship broke down further, and the two of them at the same time desperately understood that they could no longer go on together.

At Easter, Nina tried to resurrect her relationship, but unfortunately it didn't work.

So, the two put divorce on the agenda.

They still love each other, but love is not the whole of life.

In April, the two hired a lawyer to prepare for their divorce, and Rich's divorce lawyer was a good guy who made Rich decide to take his wife to fulfill one of her wishes before signing the divorce agreement.

Richie is a responsible man, he thinks it's a good idea, and he owes Nina something in this regard, and they haven't gone abroad for their honeymoon since they got married last year.

At that time, they agreed to go to Antarctica to see the penguins, but Richie's magazine had an important report on the occasion, and he was very busy at that time, so Nina thoughtfully did not mention it again.

Visiting Antarctica in April is not a good choice, as it is cold in the Southern Hemisphere this season and the Antarctic is full of ice storms.

After choosing, they decided to come to New Zealand and take a trip to this isolated island for their parting trip.

Their first stop was Queenstown, which is where all travel magazines are looking for it, and if you haven't been to Queenstown, you haven't been to New Zealand, a slogan that often appears in travel articles.

But maybe they came at the wrong season, and April in Queenstown has no golden plane trees, no gentle lakes around the mountains, only wet and cold weather.

I don't know how long I've been driving, Rich couldn't help but complain: "When I made this decision, I definitely didn't think about it, and I chose to go to New Zealand in April, ha, it's really interesting." ”

Nina lit a cigarette and said indifferently, "Can you stop complaining?" The scenery is beautiful, but your complaints overshadow everything. ”

Rich opened the window, and the clammy wind blew in, and he exclaimed, "What's wrong with my complaining?" Am I not right? Look at the damn weather! Look at the temperature, I'm going crazy! ”

Nina said, "Why don't you turn around and go to the airport, you go back to Phoenix, I'd rather go on a lonely trip alone." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Richie said angrily, "We are husband and wife, dear, now we are still husband and wife, can we understand each other a little?" It's not that I don't like New Zealand, I just don't like travel! ”

Nina gave a 'too lazy to talk to you' expression and puffed into smoke in silence.

This is the most unbearable thing for Richie, he feels that if he has any problems, he can talk about them and solve them, but Nina doesn't do this, Richie thinks that his complaints are forced by her silence.

The car sped up and galloped along Route 8, and then as it approached noon, the scenery on the side of the road suddenly changed, and even though the cold wind was howling, flowers still appeared on both sides of the road.

"The Birthflower Road, Sunset Town has arrived, and my colleague says it's the garden of the South Island." Nina said subconsciously after seeing these blooming flowers.

However, many flowers withered in winter, and the road to the birth of flowers was not as shocking as spring, summer and autumn, and although Richie thought it was not bad, it was not very touching.

Lunch was a pleasant surprise for them, and they found a random restaurant to eat, and the delicious barbecue whetted their appetite.

"This shouldn't be called the garden of the South Island, but the restaurant of the South Island." Richie laughed.

Nina didn't answer, just lowered her head and searched for local travel information on her phone.

This made Richie very bored and angry, and he angrily said, "Do you still need to search on the Internet?" Take a look at the attractions that pay here, and the most beautiful attractions are definitely the ones that pay for them. ”

"Huh." Nina smiled disdainfully, but still didn't speak.

Rich was completely enraged, and after the meal he asked the boss, who frowned and said, "Is there a charge for attractions?" Well, that's not much, why don't you go to the Firefly Cave, there is a fee. ”

Two hundred yuan and two tickets were handed over, and the two stood outside the door of the firefly cave.

It's a deserted attraction with no publicity or even experiential promotions, so no one knows about a new attraction here.

"Two hundred bucks, it's such a waste......" Richie shrugged his shoulders and habitually began to complain, Nina didn't bother to pay attention to him and walked straight inside.

Richie handed over his phone and camera, then walked in as well, and then opened the curtain and walked into the dark field of vision, and a few points of blue light appeared.

"This firefly is pretty beautiful." Richie subconsciously muttered, and then heard an exclamation from above, "Oh my God! ”

He heard that it was his wife's voice, and worried that something would happen, he hurried over.

Although there was a luminous agent pointing mark in the cave, he didn't notice it, and when he turned the corner, he hit the wall, and then he subconsciously turned around and shuddered suddenly: "My God, I must have knocked my head unconscious!" (To be continued.) )
