901, Bu Xiqi is thinking from afar, and his body is flying and looking far away
PS: New Year's greetings to everyone! I wish you good luck and all the best in the new year, and Wishing you prosperity!
Those who have committed crimes have either changed their identities incognito, or some of their identities have already been exposed, and they have applied for asylum or asylum under various pretexts. There are still many people who have not yet committed the crime, and they know in their hearts that if what they have done is found out, there will definitely be no good fruit to eat, so they also pave a way out in advance, or immigrate with another status, or transfer their families and assets overseas.
Of course, there are only a few people who have already escaped by accident or are worried about the future of the crime and have arranged a way out in advance, and most Chinese immigrants are still law-abiding, hardworking and kind people. Very early on, some people came here across the sea, engaged in arduous work in a difficult environment, relied on hard work to build a foundation, had the initial accumulation of wealth, lived here for generations, and formed the earliest Chinese settlement.
In modern times, things are different, and there are more and more immigrants here. At the end of the last century, many Chinese came here to obtain immigration status, and then returned to China to do business in order to enjoy various preferential policies for foreign investment. Today, many people are still doing this, and the main purpose is not to enjoy China's preferential treatment of foreign investment, but to avoid certain legal risks.
For example, many businessmen engaged in financial investment in China, living in China and making money in China, can get an investment immigrant status if they have nothing to do, and if nothing happens, they will continue to work; Once something is committed, you can immediately roll up and leave, and it will become very difficult to recover legal responsibility. In modern times, many so-called financial and investment businesses involve too many gray areas.
As for more people coming to North America to work in the United States and Canada, they may just be looking for better development opportunities. Many industries and large international companies here also need to continue to attract the world's top talents to join and create more wealth; On the other hand. There is a lot of dirty work at the bottom of society, and immigrants need to do it.
In fact, on the American continent, except for the indigenous Indians, the rest of the people are immigrants, but they come here in different ways, at different times, and in different positions. And the title "Indian". It is also an imposition mistake, which was originally meant by the indigenous people of India. The pirate Christopher Columbus fled to the Americas, believing that he had come to India by circumnavigating the earth, and called the local natives as such.
I wonder if the Native Americans would like to be called Native India all the time, and they don't call themselves that. Later, everyone knew it was wrong, but it was called like that. This is the so-called right to speak. In the eyes of the European colonists, it didn't matter who the Native Americans were, what mattered was who they were. This is a mode of thinking that has been inherited from the colonial era to the present, and it is also the logic of the so-called "political correctness" in the West today.
In many neighborhoods of Vancouver today, you can hear people speaking Mandarin, Hokkien, and Cantonese in a variety of accents, and you don't even need to speak a foreign language there. The signboards on both sides of the street are so familiar, there is a feeling of returning to today's third-tier cities in China.
Cheng Tianle once went to Europe to study, and studied in a German language school for two years, but he didn't learn anything, and after returning to China for a while, he almost forgot all about German. And now Mr. Cheng has been reborn and cultivated, which not only means how powerful the mana is, but also the subtleties in the cultivation are very understandable; There are already voices and wisdom powers. It also means a state of seeing.
Before he arrived, he and Xiao Shao studied English, French and Spanish, and although it was only a short month, he had no problem communicating with people. Of course, they didn't come here to learn from others, but to accumulate deeper and broader knowledge of the world. Of course, Cheng Tianle would not be stupid enough to fly to the moon Pacific Ocean by himself, but came here on an international flight, and there was only one person when he passed through customs, and Xiao Shao appeared by his side when he walked out of the airport.
Xiao Shao has now opened the picture scroll and come to the world, but the original supernatural realm is still there. She is a spiritual cultivator, and Cheng Tianle can collect her in the Quchi cave. Xiao Shao can also return to the world of the picture scroll that melts into his form and god, but now the world of the picture scroll is chaos with nothing. Cheng Tianle and Xiao Shao are probably the most peculiar tourists who come here, because they didn't call a taxi or rent a car at all, so they just walked away.
In the U.S. and Canada, people have almost forgotten what walking is. Legs are on wheels, and if you don't have a car, you don't know how to live. Except for large cities where people commute to and from work by subway, and children who take school buses to and from school, the rest of the travel is by car, and the length of travel marked on the map also refers to the drive.
Cheng Tianle does not have this habit, the straight-line distance between Vancouver, Canada and Yellowstone Park in the United States is about more than 1,000 kilometers, he and Xiao Shao plan to just walk over, regardless of whether there is a road or not, according to the coordinate direction on the map, cross the mountains and water, pass through the people and mountains, experience all kinds of people and the scenery outside the territory along the way, and cross the border between Canada and the United States.
In fact, the so-called national border does not have any natural landmarks, just the coordinates on the map. Back then, the colonists divided the territory of the Americas like spoils, and they didn't even conduct field surveys, but drew a straight line on the map according to latitude, and this line crossed the Rocky Mountains.
The topography of the North American continent is characteristic, with the Cordillera Mountains running from south to north along the west coast, leaving a narrow plain between the mountains and the Pacific Ocean, where the warm and moist air currents blowing from the Pacific Ocean are blocked by the mountains to form abundant precipitation, making them more habitable. This narrow strip is dotted with many important cities such as Vancouver, Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, and Los Angeles.
Further west are the mountainous areas, with undulating peaks and rift valleys, most of which are deserted. Beyond the mountains are the arid plains of the Midwest, sparsely populated, with cities and farms concentrated where there are water sources, and many of them are deserts, wastelands, and the Gobi Desert. It is only close to the east coast that the dense and bustling population returns.
The Rocky Mountains are an important mountain range in the Cordillera mountain system, running through the United States and Canada, and Cheng Tianle and Xiao Shao's plan is to walk along the Rocky Mountains, with Yellowstone at the other end, and the Missouri and Colorola rivers, the most important rivers in the North American continent, also originate. They plan to walk in a straight line on the map, enter the mountains when they encounter them, and watch the people when there are people.
Since they have taken this route, of course, they will not go through immigration procedures, and in a sense, they will be smuggled into the United States from Canada. In fact, it is much easier to enter from Canada in the north than Mexico in the south, there are checkpoints on the plain roads, but the inspections are not so strict, and as for the depths of the Rocky Mountains, there are no normal people who will cross on foot.
As soon as Xiao Shao and Cheng Tianle got out of the airport, they looked maverick, they neither called a taxi nor went to the parking lot, except for Cheng Tianle who carried a backpack, the two didn't even carry other luggage, so they walked out and walked along the road. They attracted a lot of people's attention, several cars pulled up to the side, and someone rolled down the window and asked if they could take a ride?
Among these people, there are those who are enthusiastic to help each other, and there are also those who have bad intentions, and Cheng Tianle smiled and shook his head in refusal. Later, a police car pulled up in front of it, and two police officers got out of the car and asked them to show their documents. Of course, there is no problem with the documents, even if Cheng Tianle is empty-handed, he can make the two policemen think that they have seen the documents they want to check, which is nothing more than an illusion of mental refraction.
The two policemen asked, "Why are you walking?" It's not a walking route in a tourist area! ”
Cheng Tianle replied with a smile: "I just like to walk, and I don't need help." ”
The policeman in the back also put his hand on his waist and made a gesture that he could pull out his gun at any time, while the policeman in front wanted to take the two of them back to the police station for questioning, and wanted to come forward to search their bodies, and instructed them to turn around with their heads in their hands.
Cheng Tianle sighed helplessly, did not move, but just swept his eyes over the eyes of the two policemen. The nervous look on the faces of the two policemen disappeared, and they both shook their heads, as if they had woken up from some kind of confused state, and then gave up the idea just now and got into the car and left, not knowing what trick they had hit.
They were still talking curiously in the car: "Are these two hiking behaviorists an environmental organization?" But why didn't they print slogans on their bodies, and they didn't follow the interview car? ”
Another policeman shook his head and said, "I don't know, someone should have secretly filmed and we didn't find out, that oriental woman is so beautiful, I have never seen such a beautiful girl!" ”
Cheng Tianle and Xiao Shao smiled at each other, this was just a little trouble when they first arrived in a foreign country, and they left the road and entered the mountain forest covered with fallen leaves. Walking in a straight line in the direction of Yellowstone Park, more than a thousand kilometers away, fluttering and fluttering seemed not fast, but in fact the speed was quite slow, they walked out of the airport in the morning, and by the afternoon they had already passed a city and several small towns.
The wildlife is abundant in the mountains and forests, and it is almost adjacent to the residents of the suburbs, and they can also find raccoons rummaging through garbage cans in people's yards from afar. At four o'clock in the afternoon, a larger city appeared in front of me, and according to the map marking, this is the city of Burnaby, which is under the jurisdiction of Vancouver, and it is also an important immigrant settlement.
As they walked along the streets, they passed a bustling area of high-rise buildings and entered a relatively dilapidated neighborhood. There are a lot of people of all skin colors, just sitting on the side of the street doing nothing. Most of the buildings are decades old, and the streets have not been repaired for a long time, and when they walked by, many people showed surprised or questioning eyes.
Cheng Tianle smiled at Xiao Shao with his divine thoughts: "Along the way, I have seen a lot of wild animals in North America, and there are many people of all kinds, but I haven't seen the demon cultivators mentioned by Mr. Bai, where are they hiding?" ”
