Chapter 0019: British
Coming out of the airport, standing on the side of the road, I raised my head and breathed the air of Great Britain, feeling the glory of the empire on which the sun never sets, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, listening to the name, you can imagine how strong it once was, although it is long gone, but there is still the smell of gunsmoke in the traces of history.
"Hey, distinguished Oriental guest, do you need help?" A taxi suddenly stopped in front of me, and the window was pulled down, revealing a young and handsome Western guy, who asked me enthusiastically.
"Yes, please send me to the Hilton, thank you very much!" I replied in standard English.
As a special unit in the special forces, language is also a compulsory course for us, I am proficient in English, and I also have some knowledge of the languages of Germany, France, Japan and South Korea, but I can only understand it generally, let alone be proficient.
Long Xin is the most powerful in this regard, proficient in eight Chinese, her head is comparable to a computer, and we masters are willing to bow down.
I got into a taxi and drove all the way to the hotel, the young driver was very enthusiastic, maybe afraid that I would be bored and chatting with me.
"Welcome to beautiful London, I think you must be from China, right?" The driver asked with a smile, looking very sure that I was Chinese.
"How do you know?" I looked at him curiously.
"It's very simple, most Chinese who come to London alone like to live in the luxurious place of Hilton, and you Chinese are very generous." Drivers often pick up and drop off guests in the area and trust their own judgment.
I smiled, the Chinese who can afford to come to London alone to play are rich and accustomed to a luxurious lifestyle, which is not surprising and does not explain anything.
Although I am not a rich person, but I have a lot of savings, it is more than enough to go abroad for a few days, although I can't afford to live in the presidential suite, but the ordinary room can afford it, the most important thing is that I only know this hotel, the rest have not heard of it at all, and I don't bother to inquire.
"See? That's the beautiful River Thames, every time you pass by here you will have a different feeling, especially in the evening, the beautiful scenery is intoxicating, if you are traveling, I recommend you to definitely go to the river, it will make you forget all your worries. The young man said excitedly.
"I just want to see Big Ben, why didn't I see it?" I looked out the window and looked around, but I couldn't see the shadow of the big clock, "Didn't you say it's right next to the Thames?" ”
"Oh, it's not far away, you can see it through the street in front of us, I can even feel it beckoning to you!" The driver said humorously.
I smiled politely, looked at the calm water outside the window, turned a street corner, and the driver suddenly pointed to a clock tower in front of me and said excitedly, "See?" That's the famous Big Ben, and it's the symbol of our London! ”
My eyes lit up and I looked in the direction of his finger, it was an ancient clock tower full of history, the famous Palace of Westminster chiming clock, and I could feel the heavy sense of history and the vicissitudes of life after precipitation thousands of kilometers away.
Today, this one-of-a-kind clock tower is a London icon and a symbol of the United Kingdom.
The young driver, who grew up in London, seemed to have a deeper love for Big Ben than I did for it, chattering excitedly about the history of Big Ben.
Amid his endless chatter, I finally arrived at the hotel, and I breathed a sigh of relief when I looked at the luxurious Hilton Hotel in front of me.
"It's a pleasure to serve you, twenty pounds, thank you." The driver looked at me with a smile.
I took out fifty pounds and handed it to him, and said, "Don't look for it, the rest of the money will be your payment for being a guide." ”
"Thank you so much, I knew that the Chinese guests were very generous." After saying that, I cheered excitedly, and rushed out with one foot on the accelerator, as if I was afraid that I would ask for the money back.
I smiled slightly, turned around and walked into the hotel, Du Fei had already booked a room for me before leaving, I only needed to pay
The Hilton is a world-famous five-star hotel, where you are absolutely a god and can get any service you want whenever you want, provided your wallet is bulging enough.
In the evening, I went out for a walk alone, next to the hotel is the famous Hyde Park, not far from the square with countless white pigeons, a few elderly people are comfortably feeding, and the couples who snuggle up to each other stroll on the tree-lined path in the sunset, warm and sweet.
I walked around the park alone, and then sat on the bench and was quiet for a while, when suddenly, a melodious music came, and I looked at it, and there was a group of people not far away, and I walked over curiously.
Through the crowd I saw two girls holding guitars and playing unpassionately, I don't understand music, I can't hear good or bad, I just think it's good, what surprised me is that these two girls are Eastern faces, looking at their age and dress, they should be international students from Asia, but I'm not sure if it's Chinese.
When they finished playing, there was a round of applause, and I applauded, and the two girls smiled at the group, and then they bowed their heads and packed their things, looking like they were leaving.
The crowd slowly dispersed, and I was just about to leave, when suddenly three young people walked towards the two girls with a smile on their faces, and when they got closer, I don't know what they were talking about, the two girls were very polite at first, then their faces became more and more ugly, and finally their faces were full of anger.
At that moment, a young man reached out to pull one of the girls by the arm, and she slapped him back, then slapped the rascal in the face.
At this moment, the smiles on the faces of the three hooligans instantly stiffened, and the other two raised their hands to fight, and the two girls screamed in fright and hugged each other and did not dare to raise their heads.
Seeing this scene, I couldn't help but snort coldly, I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen in this country full of gentlemen, there are really hooligans where there are people!
I sighed, flashed to the front, lightning-like clasped the wrist of the hooligan on the left, shook slightly, clicked twice, the joint was misaligned, as if it was accompanied by a bone crack, at the same time, out of nowhere, a black shadow burst out of nowhere, almost at the same time as me, kicked the hooligan on the right more than five meters away, lay on the ground and twitched twice before there was no movement, I don't know whether it is dead or alive, the powerful force even I am frightened.
The last rascal looked left and right, suddenly screamed, turned around and ran, as if he had seen a ghost, and crawled with a twist, only hating that he had lost one leg.
The two frightened girls secretly glanced out, and were shocked to find that in the blink of an eye, two of the three hooligans, two fell to the ground, and one fled, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, looked at us gratefully and thanked us, and my eyes always fell on the man who shot with me.
