After breakfast, Liping brought Mengdu two round breads, three sliced breads, a hard-boiled egg, and a few slices of sausages, and hurried up the elevator upstairs.

Back in room 503, she saw that Mengdu was still immersed in sleep, so she pushed Mengdu's body with both hands again, and urged urgently:

"Mengdu, hurry up! The tour is about to depart! ”

"Ah——, I slept so comfortably!"

The dream finally woke up from his sleep.

He let out a long stretch and got up from the bed.

After getting up, Mengdu put on slippers, walked into the bathroom, washed his hands and face, returned to the room, and devoured sliced bread and sausages.

At the same time, he instructed Liping to put round bread and hard-boiled eggs into plastic bags.

After a brief breakfast, Liping and Mengdu picked up their luggage and went out.

At 7:58, all the members of the Golden Autumn Regiment got on the bus, and the minibus set off towards the windmill village according to the set goal.

The car made its way all the way through the street on the side of the red light district of Devalen, which the tour had visited last night.

Mr. Liu, a big man in Shandong, seems to be reluctant to give up on the "Western Scene", the sex theater and the street of window beauties that he visited twice last night.

He turned his head to look sideways in the direction of Devalen, and sighed with a whimsical sigh:

"Ah, Amsterdam, what a wonderful city! Here, human nature can be fully unleashed, and the human body can be extremely free! If you can live in such a city for ten or eight years, it will not be in vain to come to the world! ”

"Yes, I really didn't expect that there is such a country in the world, gambling, drug abuse, prostitution, in this place, everything is legal! How can there be no chaos in such a country? ”

A fellow of Mr. Liu's sighed with Mr. Liu.

"Alas, such a good country, it's a pity that we are leaving. It would have been the best if we could have stayed here longer! ”

After listening to the sighs of Mr. Liu and his fellow villagers, Mengdu also expressed his inner feelings.

After sighing, Mengdu then said to the tour guide:

"Xiao Luo, can't we squeeze out time to stay in Amsterdam for one more day?"

"Go with the flow! In this world, there are some things that are good to be pointed. ”

Unexpectedly, Master Ji, who was sitting behind Mengdu and Liping, interjected in a calm voice after listening to Mengdu's words.

"Master Ji is right, there are some things, we just click! I know that from yesterday's visit, you must have been particularly impressed by Amsterdam! Right? ”

The tour guide Xiao Luo followed Master Ji's meaning, smiled and said to the members of the Golden Autumn Troupe with a microphone:

"Actually, yesterday we visited a very small part of the city of Amsterdam. If you have time, you can also visit the Van Gogh Museum, the Royal Palace, Dam Square, the Rijksmuseum, and taste the most famous Heineken beer in the Netherlands. Unfortunately, our tour group only came to Europe for seven days. Even if you add the day you arrived in Paris, there are only eight days in total. Eight days to visit seven countries, that's not enough time! ”

Although the tour guide Xiao Luo did not directly answer Mengdu's question, he had already expressed his meaning very clearly.

After answering Mengdu's question, she pointed to the scenery outside the window and said:

"Look, this beautiful canal, as well as the colorful old buildings on the canal, and the tulip beds blooming on both sides of the ancient buildings, which scenery does not make people forget to return? After a while, when you enter the Ellshout windmill village, you can really experience what it means to be in the painting and the feeling of people in the painting! ”

With Xiao Luo's fingers, the tourists on the minibus turned their eyes to the oil-painted scenery outside the window.

As for the topic of whether you can stay in Amsterdam for an extra day, naturally no one talks about it anymore.

The windmill village of Elschoot, as the tour guide Xiao Luo said, is only eight kilometers from the center of Amsterdam.

In the blink of an eye, the minibus had sent the members of the Golden Autumn Regiment to the parking lot next to the windmill village.

After the golden autumn group got off the bus with the tour guide Xiao Luo, when they looked up, they immediately found that under the endless blue sky and white clouds, there were more than 20 windmill towers on the vast plain in front of them.

According to the tour guide, these windmill towers were all built in the thirties and forties of the eighteenth century.

The tower house is completely circular, with a diameter of about 15 meters, and the same white walls and black tiles, or gray walls and red tiles, appear thick and solid.

In the upper part of each tower, huge rectangular wings are installed.

These wings turn to generate a lot of power.

Because the windmills here are not only numerous, but also have huge wings, which makes them the largest group of windmills in the world.

Approaching the tower room and taking a closer look, visitors can find more clearly:

Each windmill here is closely connected to a tower.

The tower is conical in shape.

Moreover, the walls of the tower house are inclined from large to small from top to bottom. In other words, the tower of the windmill is large at the top and small at the bottom.

The windmill's four rectangular wings are fixed to a large hinge at the top of the tower.

Viewed from the front, the windmill is in the shape of a vertical cross. Even if it doesn't rotate, it gives people the feeling that it is full of movement.

If you are a fantasy person, you will definitely think that as long as the windmills here turn, the whole earth will also rotate with them!

"Dear friends, we are now in the famous windmill village of Elschoot in Amsterdam. These windmills in front of you used to be the main production tools for the Dutch to develop their economy. ”

The tour guide Xiao Luo led the Golden Autumn Group to the windmill group and introduced it to everyone:

"As early as the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, the Dutch relied on these windmills to turn the mills in the towers, and used them to roll grain, coarse salt, and tobacco, and used the power of the windmills to extract oil, press wool, roll felt, and make paper, and sometimes use the power of the windmills to remove the water from the marshes.

In the Netherlands, at its peak, more than 12,000 huge windmills were built across the country.

Later, with the advent of steam engines, internal combustion engines, and electric motors, these windmills were gradually eliminated.

However, elimination to elimination, the nostalgic Dutch, did not abandon them because of the elimination of windmills.

The Dutch have carefully preserved them and today they are one of the main attractions for tourists from all over the world. ”

While introducing the history of Dutch windmills to the tour group, the tour guide Xiao Luo led everyone around the windmill tower and walked around the windmill tower house unhurriedly.

When walking to the edge of the windmill group, the tour guide Xiao Luo continued to introduce to the Golden Autumn Group:

"Please note that these towers are not entirely reserved for tourists. In fact, there are still many families living in the tower.

These towers are generally divided into three floors, the third floor is a place to sleep, the second floor is a place to eat, and the first floor is a place to roll and grind things with wind power.

From the 17th century to the present, some families have lived in these towers for more than 200 or 300 years.

For many years, no matter which angle one looks at the Netherlands, one will see giant windmills towering over the horizon.

Arguably, the giant windmill is the quintessential embodiment of the vast Dutch horizon and stunning landscapes.

The giant windmill is the pride and symbol of the Dutch nation, as well as the inheritance and promotion of Dutch culture!

You can experience, right now, do we have a feeling that people are in the painting? ”

After the tour guide Xiao Luo finished speaking, he stopped talking and looked at the members of the Golden Autumn Group with a smile.

As a result, the members of the Golden Autumn Troupe used the tower house and windmill as the background to enjoy the surrounding scenery from different angles.

Sure enough!

The white or gray towers, black or red roofs, the yellow fields, the purple windmills, the vast blue sky and white clouds, and the pedestrians leisurely under the towers, windmills, fields and blue sky and white clouds constitute a dynamic oil painting!

The introduction of "people in the painting, people in the painting" introduced by the tour guide Xiao Luo just now is indeed worthy of its name!

In an instant, the members of the Golden Autumn Regiment were all moved by the beautiful scenery in front of them.

Touching the scene, in the Golden Autumn Troupe, a member who has read the world-famous novel "Don Quixote" thinks of the black humor of the protagonist "Don Quixote" in the novel, wearing armor and fighting the windmill alone.

While thinking about it, the member enthusiastically told the story of Don Quixote vs. the windmill to his companions, and the members of the Golden Autumn Regiment laughed "haha".
