The next morning, after breakfast, the tour guide Xiao Luo took back the room card from the tour group members, and after checking out, he led everyone to the main square in the center of the city and began to visit Brussels.

The minibus soon arrived at the Grand Place in Brussels.

After getting off the bus, people will be greeted by a large rectangular square. It is about 110 meters long and 70 meters wide, and the floor is all made of high-quality granite stone.

The most striking building on this large square is the town hall of Brussels.

It is an ancient Gothic building and a landmark of Brussels.

According to the tour guide Xiao Luo, the building was built in two phases.

the larger left half, built in 1402;

The relatively small right half was rebuilt in 1455.

During the construction of the right half, the architects deliberately added a tower and a 96-meter-high minaret to the building.

On the spire, there is a 5-meter-high weather vane, and the main body of the weather vane is the statue of Saint Michel, the patron saint of Brussels.

Legend has it that thousands of years ago, the lord of Brussels was saved by a god-man named Michelle.

For this reason, the lords of Brussels revered Saint-Michel as the patron saint of Brussels.

On the left side of the town hall, above the main entrance of the building, stands a statue of a beautiful swan.

It is the famous "Swan Café".

More than 170 years ago, two giants, Marx and Engels, jointly drafted the "Communist Manifesto" in this café.

Around the main square, there are various ancient buildings with different shapes and designs.

Most of these buildings belonged to various guild organizations, such as boatmen, tailors, shops, and painters.

Above the main entrance of each guild building, there is a sculpture of a figure revered by the guild, or a symbolic totem.

Due to the different years of construction, these ancient buildings surrounding the Grand Place reflect a variety of styles such as Gothic, Baroque, and Louis XIV.

Among them, the Duke of Brabant Mansion is the most spectacular!

On the façade of the roof of the Dukes of Brabant building, 19 statues of the bodies of the Dukes of Brabant stand over the years.

Opposite the town hall, there is also the residence of Louis XIV of France, which is now the National Museum of Belgium.

After visiting the Grand Place in Brussels and the surrounding scenery, the members of the "Golden Autumn Group" followed the tour guide Xiao Luo to the city hall.

Upon entering the gate of the town hall, visitors are greeted by a variety of murals on both sides of the corridor of the town hall.

Among the many frescoes, there are portraits of the Belgian monarchs, as well as portraits of the kings of Spain, the Netherlands, France and other countries who once ruled Brussels, as well as the portraits of Napoleon!

After visiting the main square and the city hall, the tour guide Xiao Luo waved a small pennant, and led the members of the Golden Autumn Regiment to enter a small street from the south side of the main square, walked through two intersections, and came to the corner of a very inconspicuous street.

However, it is in front of this very inconspicuous corner that an arched gable is erected.

In the middle of the gable, there is a circular shrine.

In the center of the shrine, there is a bronze statue about half a meter high.

This bronze statue is the world-famous "First Citizen of Brussels" statue.

When the members of the Golden Autumn Troupe came to the statue, they found that it was only fifty centimeters tall in total, and it was a bronze child who was naked from top to bottom.

This bronze child crossed his waist with one hand and held the "little cock" on his lower body with the other.

From that "little cock", it was like peeing, and it kept "whooshing" to throw an endless fountain forward.

In front of the bronze child, a group of dark-skinned tourists is surrounded.

These tourists are probably from some country in Africa.

"Friends, what you see now is the bronze statue of the world-famous first citizen of Brussels, Xiao Lian.

There are several legends about this statue in Belgium, the most widespread of which is that during a battle of resistance of the Belgian people against the war of aggression, the defeated Spanish invaders, while fleeing from Brussels, set fire to the basement of the town hall in an attempt to raze the city center to the ground.

At that time, a young boy named Yu Lian found the burning * in time. In order to save the city, the little boy was in a hurry and immediately urinated and doused it*, thus sparing Brussels.

The brave and witty Xiao Lian was unfortunately shot and died.

In honor of this little hero, the citizens of Brussels specially shaped this bronze statue for him.

The second legend says that in 1142, when the Belgian Duke Gothfried led the army against a foreign enemy, when the army was about to lose, the duke put his youngest son Yu Lian in the cradle and hung it on a tree on the battlefield to boost the morale of the army, and finally defeated the enemy army and led the army to return triumphantly.

The third popular story is that there was a child named Yu Lian, who got up in the middle of the night to pee, and saw a fuse sticking out of the neighbor's house, which was burning "sizzling" - it was the invading French army, which was igniting * preparing to bomb the city!

Xiao Lian couldn't find a water source for a while, so he took out his "little cock" and used his own urine to extinguish the fuse, thus saving the people of the city. In order to commemorate this little hero, the citizens of Brussels made a stone statue for Xiao Lian at the original site where Lian extinguished the fuse, so as to forever commemorate Xiao Lian's exploits. Later, the citizens changed the stone statue to the current bronze statue.

"In short, no matter what kind of legend it is, there is only one core: that is, Xiao Lian used his wisdom, bravery and life, as well as the simplest way to pee, to save the lives and property of the people of Brussels."

Finally, the tour guide Xiao Luo finally ended the explanation with inductive language.

After listening to Xiao Luo's explanation, the members of the Golden Autumn Troupe took out their cameras or mobile phones one after another, just like when they visited other scenic spots, and took many photos with the background of peeing Xiao Lian.

Just as everyone was taking pictures, Mengdu found that the group of black Africans gathered in front of the bronze statue were taking turns holding the "urine" from Yu Lian's "little cock" with both hands, and sending it to their mouths with laughter and laughter.

Seeing this phenomenon, Mengdu asked the tour guide strangely:

"Hey, Xiao Luo, look at those black people, why are they rushing to drink the urine pulled out by Yu Lian? Is there anything special about this approach? ”

"You're right! There's something about it here. ”

The tour guide Xiao Luo replied to Mengdu with a smile, and at the same time introduced to the members of the Golden Autumn Group:

"Didn't I introduce it to you just now? This hero is less than Lian, and with his wisdom he saved the lives and property of the people of the city. Later, it spread among the common people, saying that whoever drinks less than Liansa's urine will have a safe life and a happy life! ”

"Oh, so that's it? Then I'll take a few sips too! ”

After listening to the dream, he immediately squeezed into the black crowd in front of him who were "drinking urine", stretched out his hands, and took a handful of "safe and happy" "urine" in front of the "little cock" that was less than cheap, and brought it to his mouth, "coo-goo-du" a few sips, and drank a fine light.

Then, Mengdu drank a few more "urine", then turned around, pulled Liping to him, and asked her to be like herself, take the "urine" with both hands, and drink a "safe life, happy years"!

Liping's cheeks flushed, and she couldn't refuse her husband's kindness, so she stretched out the mineral water bottle in her hand, and took half a bottle of "urine" from Yu Lian's "little chicken", and then withdrew a few steps back in order to make room for other tourists to pick up the "urine" of "peace and happiness".

After Liping retreated to the back of the crowd, seeing that no one was paying attention to herself, she brought the mineral water bottle to her mouth, took a few sips, and drank all the "urine" in the bottle.

After a while, the members of the tour guide Xiao Luo Jinqiu's group should have taken pictures, and those who should have drunk "urine" drank "urine", so they habitually raised pennants and shouted loudly:

"Friends of the Golden Autumn Troupe, gathered! Hurry up and get on the bus, let's go to visit the Atomium attraction in Brussels. After visiting the Atomium, we headed to Amsterdam! ”

I don't know if it's a special yearning for Amsterdam, or a certain curiosity about the Atomium, the members of the Golden Autumn Troupe, listened

After Xiao Luo was summoned, he immediately followed her pennant and walked quickly towards the parking lot.
