Chapter Eighty-Three: Accidents

(It's a bit bland, change part of the plot to try to make everyone more satisfied.) οΌ‰

Before 1900, women went into the water to swim, and the bathing suits they wore were not much different from their daily skirts, and even because they prevented see-through, the fabrics were thicker and the colors were mostly dark.

After another ten years, it has developed into a close-fitting swimsuit, just like the autumn clothes and pants of later generations. The top is long-sleeved, stand-up collar, pants all the way to the ankle.

By the thirties, women's bathing suits were getting shorter and shorter, gradually revealing arms and thighs, but still thick fabrics and boxers.

The bikini appeared less than a year ago, and it was not accepted by this society until more than a dozen years later, in the sixties.

It's only been 47 years now, and women who dare to wear bikinis on public beaches will be fined or even put in the police station for being indecent.

Unless it's on the private beach of your own home, the police can't control it.

However, with Caroline's mother here, even Claudio didn't dare to make this limelight, let alone other women.

Audrey's personality is not at all like a Western woman, she is shy, reserved, and gentle. She couldn't accept the kind of swimsuit that exposed her body, and even now she was a little embarrassed to wear this kind of two-section long swimsuit.

Only when the other men are not there, she will come ashore from the water and lie on the blanket with Zhou Nan, who is lying under the parasol, enjoying the sea breeze.

Lying on the endless seashore, people's hearts have also become broader, and all troubles seem to be blown away. Lying there lazily, thinking about nothing in your heart, is the most beautiful enjoyment.

Starting the next day, Zhou Nan accompanied Audrey to rent a gondola and spent two days visiting Venice full of classical flavor.

Audrey liked this kind of cultural landscape with a sense of history the most, and they visited almost all famous attractions such as St. Mark's Church, Doge's Palace, Bridge of Sighs, and Golden Palace.

After two days of playing, people became tired. After another day of sunbathing on the beach, in the evening, Zhou Nan also took Audrey to watch the French movie "Poor Couple Mourning".

This is also a very famous film at this Venice Film Festival, which tells the story of a poor couple who suffer a series of setbacks and tribulations because of poverty.

After reading it, Audrey became a little sentimental again. She just held Zhou Nan's arm and said happily: "Fortunately, we all have a skill, so we don't have to worry about life." ”

After spending five days on the island of Lido, and having had enough of the Mediterranean sun, they set off for Rome.

More than a year ago, Zhou Nan was shot in Rome, and when he came here again, there was no shadow in his heart, but Popler and they were all very nervous.

Zhounan's safety is their first priority, and all travel routes need to be checked. Popler and Flegg were close to him, and Jean Nord arranged four bodyguards to surround them in the middle.

Although Zhou Nan felt that it was unnecessary, he definitely didn't want any more accidents and accepted their arrangement.

Rome is probably one of the oldest cities in the world, and many of its buildings have been around for more than a millennium. Several ancient temples have existed for more than 2,000 years.

Of the existing large cities, there is probably only Athens that can be compared with Rome, and Constantinople cannot be compared.

Even Zhou Nan had to admit that although some cities in his homeland had a longer history of existence, it was only history. With the exception of a few monuments, the city today has nothing to do with thousands of years ago.

In Rome alone, there are 700 ancient temples and churches, as well as the center of Catholicism, the Vatican.

Although Zhou Nan is not interested in this religious country that has always held a shelf, some of the historic sites here are still very worth seeing.

Audrey has been very happy for a while, with her beloved by her side, enjoying her favorite scenery, listening to the stories she is most interested in, and there is nothing happier than this.

On this day, Zhou Nan accompanied Audrey to the ancient baths of Caracalla in the southeast of Rome. It was the public baths of ancient Rome, built between 212 and 216 AD, during Caracalla's reign of the Roman Empire.

Its ruins are now a tourist mecca. The bathhouse covers an area of 160,000 square meters, and in addition to the 30,000 square meters bathhouse, there are various facilities such as a library, an arena, a promenade, and a gymnasium, which is no less than a modern large-scale leisure center.

The baths are divided into cold, warm, and hot baths, steam rooms, and changing rooms, and you can imagine the large-scale and high-volume scenery of the time from the remaining mosaic floors, the 30-meter-diameter baths, and the 30-meter-high walls.

Before coming, Zhou Nan was still thinking about what an ancient bathhouse was so beautiful, but when he came here, he realized that his imagination was a little too narrow.

When he stood by the wall as high as thirty meters, he was as small as an ant. With a diameter of 30 meters, the area of this hall has reached more than 700 square meters, which is so tall. Standing alone in it, there is really a sense of awe for the ancients.

With a deep respect for the ancients, Zhou Nan also calmed down and carefully observed the architectural design here. The two of them lingered, and they didn't even want to eat lunch, because they were reluctant to leave here.

But at this time, Etinny ran in tired and out of breath, because he ran too quickly, and when he occupied Zhou Nan, he couldn't even speak.

"Take a break, don't worry, what's going on?"

"Surabaya...... There was violence against the Chinese, and we received information,...... Sixty-one Chinese died in yesterday's fighting. ”

The smile on Zhou Nan's face froze suddenly, and he looked at Etinny, definitely not joking. "Has the news been confirmed?"

Etinny's breath finally calmed down a little, and he said, "We got information from the Dutch Consul General in Switzerland, who is now a guest at Jonas Farm with a group of Chinese. ”

Zhou Nan took a deep breath and asked, "What is their purpose?" ”

"The Chinese have some disagreements about what to do next, and there is no consensus within them. So, the Dutch side wanted us to convince the Chinese and help them fight. ”

"Where is Stolco now?"

"He had lunch with a representative of the Soviet Union at noon today and has not yet returned. Let Nord let me come to you, he's helping you connect you with a plane that can fly back directly. ”

"Very good...... Zhou Nan turned to Audrey and asked, "Audrey, do you want to stay in Rome to continue this excursion plan, or go home with me?" ”

Audrey shook her head and said, "Rome will not disappear, and I will have the opportunity to visit again in the future." ”

Zhou Nan stretched out her hand, she put the sales in Zhou Nan's palm, comforted him and said, "Honey, it's not your fault, don't let yourself fall into pain because of other people's mistakes." ”

Zhou Nan smiled, squeezed her hand and said, "I understand, but I'm a little sad in my heart." ”

Half an hour later, Zhou Nan was back at Jean Nord's villa on the hillside on the east side of Plaza de EspaΓ±a. It is only more than 300 meters away from the Medici villa in the north, and it is only 500 meters around a bend.

This villa is a 300-year-old white marble building with four floors and a large balcony on the second floor. The villa is not large, but the yard is not small, and it has a wall up to four meters, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

When Zhou Nan arrived home, Caroline and Dinah had already packed his luggage for him, and the large luggage would go back with the convoy, so Zhou Nan and Audrey could bring their own luggage and papers.

When Rang Nord saw Zhou Nan, he said: "I have contacted an Alitalia Fiat plane, and you can take off when you get to the airport." Lucerne also had sunny weather today with no thick clouds. ”

"Thank you, Mayerry." Zhou Nan said sincerely: "How much does the plane cost?" ”

Jean Nord shrugged his shoulders and said, "I just made a few phone calls for you, and you went to the airport to settle the bill directly, a total of six hundred and fifty dollars, or three thousand Swiss francs." It's a pity that my body can't stand the toss, so I won't fly back with you. ”

Leon said excitedly at this time: "Brother Jonas, I'll go back with you, I haven't been on a plane yet!" ”

Caroline dismissed him directly. "Don't think about it, you go back with me, and we can be home tomorrow."

Zhou Nan said: "Mom, in fact, you can play for a few more days." ”

Caroline smiled: "Italy is nothing but the sea, nothing is better than Switzerland, so it's better to go home than to toss around here!" Besides, I miss Yannick too, although Germany is very difficult now, but at least there is Yannick there, and I will feel more at ease. ”

Zhou Nan nodded and said, "After handling this matter, I will accompany you back to Germany." I'm going to see how my design office is doing now. ”

After checking his luggage, Zhou Nan and they were sent to the airport, Flegg accompanied Zhou Nan to go back first, and Popler stayed here to go back with the convoy, Zhou Nan was also relieved to have him.

The three cars quickly drove out of the villa again, thinking about heading northeast. They weren't going to Rome Airport, but a small military airport in Estoria.

During World War II, it was an azimuth base of the Italian Air Force, which was bombed by the U.S. military. After the war, the airport was converted to civilian use.

It's located in the city, next to the river Tvere, so it's easy to get around. Therefore, after the airport was renovated, the utilization rate was quite high, but because the runway was not long, large aircraft could not be grounded.

The plane leased by Zhou Nan is a medium-sized aircraft from Fiat that can carry about 20 people. The full cost of flying from Rome to Lucerne is six hundred and fifty dollars.

And from Rome to Lucerne, it is almost 650 kilometers, and the average kilometer is only a dollar. Although the current dollar is still relatively valuable, it is still cheap, which makes Zhou Nan a little unbelievable. However, he was not in the mood to consider these at this time, he needed to know more about the situation in order to make a more accurate judgment.

Two and a half hours later, the plane stopped at Buox Airport on the south shore of Lake Lucerne with a screeching braking.

(The new additions become less, the more more, the lower the average booking, in order not to be too far from the boutique line, so for the time being, it can only be double-changed.) οΌ‰
