Of course, in view of the purpose of Ji Xinlai to attend the banquet, he drove a Range Rover Genesis Extended Edition, a 3.0-liter TDV6 turbocharged diesel engine, a lift-and-turn eight-speed automatic transmission, and a second-generation intelligent all-terrain feedback adaptation system are all models in luxury SUVs. The fly in the ointment is that the speed is not comparable to that of a sports car, after all, it is a ** that can easily break 100 per hour.

When he came back, Kuqi once suggested finding a driver, but Ji Xin flatly refused. The reason is that Lisa and the other women have driven over, so what is the difficulty of him driving back along the road? And I won't get lost.

However, it turns out that Jiang is still old and spicy, and Kuqi's worries are still very necessary, and Ji Xin can't hold on to it before he is halfway through the more than 4-hour trip. This is the quintessential country road landscape, where the straight road is divided by a wide strip in the middle of the road and spreads all the way to the end of the view. Overhead, the blue sky and white clouds overhead, the highway is on both sides of the desert wasteland, the grass and trees grow weakly, and the desolate landscape in the west is unobstructed.

The sunglasses that Ji Xin was wearing had already been taken off, and there was no audience, and there was no way to talk about being cool. I pressed the horn depressedly, and it was okay, and the crisp beep came far away. "If you want to die and suffer the crime, if you agreed, even if you are not a driver, it is good to talk to me" Ji Xin was depressed.

While talking to himself, Ji Xin suddenly saw someone not far away who seemed to be waving at his car again. "Do you want a ride?" the man rolled his eyes and pulled over to the side of the road.

When Ji Xin rolled down the window, he just wanted to show off his spoken language and say an authentic American native language. I found that the person standing outside the car seemed to be a yellow person, around 20 years old, carrying a large backpack, and on such a hot day, long clothes, pants and hats, a typical backpacker dress.

There are many backpackers, also known as travelers, in the United States, especially those who carry backpacks for long-distance self-guided trips, mainly for the purpose of hobbing mountaineering, hiking, exploration, etc., hoping to understand the world, know themselves, and challenge their limits through travel. The small town of Buzeer, which is close to the Great Smoky Mountain Park, often shows them coming to replenish, and Ji Xin also met many such people when he went to the gun shop.

Travelers generally travel together, some prepare tents, sleeping bags, and sleep in the wilderness in the mountains. Backpackers advocate spending the least amount of money, walking the farthest distance, and seeing scenery that is difficult for others to see. At the beginning, I only know a general destination, and I need to find information, plan the route, buy equipment, estimate the travel time, calculate the little money in my hand, calculate how much it will cost tomorrow, and so on.

When backpackers go on a trip, it's not just about going somewhere to see the scenery, the journey itself is an important experience. Trains, cars, donkey cars, hotels, hostels, car shops, clear mountains, green waters, deserts, lonely smoke, wilderness, bustling cities, ancient roads, westerly highways, drunken singing, eating, sleeping, and so on, etc., the bitterness and joy of travel are warm and cold.

The development of backpackers has become more and more influential in society, and it has received more and more attention, and more and more people have joined the backpacker family, so Ji Xin's first reaction is this.

"Friend, do you want to help?" Ji Xin hesitated for a long time and still didn't ask the other party's nationality, mainly because he was afraid that others would misunderstand, after all, the crime of discrimination in the United States is much more serious than in China. In the spirit that more is better than less, this is still said in English.

"Thank you so much, big brother," the backpacker replied in surprise and in accented English, "I want to take a ride, just go to a nearby town".

Now Ji Xin determined that the person in front of him must be from China, otherwise no English teacher would train the student's oral English like this, full of Sichuan flavor, "Hehe, just drop by, come up." ”

"My name is Qin Longxiang, and my eldest brother calls me Xiangzi, by the way, eldest brother, you are also from Sichuan Province, listening to the accent, we are fellow countrymen" This product has probably been drying here for a long time, seeing Ji Xin nodded and threw the backpack to the back seat, and then turned back to the co-pilot's seat.

"Yes, you call me Ji Xin, we are not much different in age." Ji Xin's vigilance against strangers is still quite high, of course, it is another thing to give love casually, and he still has to rely on this person to relieve his boredom.

"It's not easy to see a black-haired and yellow-skinned fellow from such a distance! If you want me to say that there are enough people from our country, I will stop as soon as I wave my hand, unlike the two cars in front of me who don't even step on the brakes, which makes me eat a mouthful of dust."

"It's impossible, I've been here for a while, and the locals are still very welcoming, what did you do to make people misunderstood?" Ji Xin was a little curious, the Thomas, Dinah and other people in the town he knew were kind, friendly, and unguarded. If you hesitate when you walk on the road, someone will stop and ask you: areyouok? Someone even took the initiative to stop and pick you up.

Qin Longxiang was a little unconvinced, and gestured, "No, I just said it on the Internet, my arm is outstretched, my thumb is up, and I have to smile to prove that I am good, I have been practicing in front of the mirror at home for a long time?" But those cars almost didn't stop, and I didn't even get a chance to explain."

Ji Xin suddenly realized when he heard the complaint, and glanced at the posture of this kid again, not to mention, the gesture is quite standard, but it is a bit two. After laughing in his heart for a while, he uncovered the mystery, "The gesture is okay, the key is that you stopped the car in the wrong place." ”

Looking at Qin Longxiang's puzzled appearance, Ji Xin began to show off his knowledge that he had only learned for a short time, "Generally speaking, everyone will take a ride at a toll station, gas station, or service area; If it is really not possible, they will choose the straight road in front and back, so that the driver can find it early and make a decision. It's like you just choose a place where the car is out of the corner, the sight is not good, the old beauty is fast, basically when you find you, it has already passed"

"And so particular, I just look at the location over there, I can see far, I don't think so much. Now that I think about it, maybe it's my fault, those people are driving very fast, and I didn't notice that I was normal. ”

Ji Xin listened to the young man's decisive admission of mistakes, and a trace of goodwill welled up in his heart. However, you still have to fight "Maybe it's because you're a big man, many female drivers won't stop when they encounter this situation, after all, safety comes first." ”

"Understanding, understanding, both at home and abroad. My five big and three rough ones are indeed more scary" Qin Longxiang does look more honest, he listened carefully to what Ji Xin said, and he was more obedient than a primary school student, and this person was a little embarrassed, so he hurriedly changed the topic.
