The Story of the Seventh World (3)

Time passed quickly, and Suhang and Brooke left the town and walked ten miles along the English Channel to the famous site of the British Empire, the White Cliffs of Ireland. Su Hang looked at this magnificent white cliff and really felt the magic of the ocean and its "skills". "This white cliff is made up of the remains of countless tiny marine single-celled plankton, mainly composed of soft calcium carbonate," Brooke said. ”

It is not surprising that Brooke and his younger brother came from Birmingham, Brooke's younger brother went to school at the University of London, because he was not interested in school, he entered the society too early, and saved up for his younger brother while working, and most of the younger brother worked with his brother Brooke in Mr. Celt's hotel during the holidays, and occasionally told Brooke what he had learned, including the geography and history of the small town of Dover.

Brooke told Suhang that his brother had told him: "For the people of the British Empire, the White Cliffs of Edund, Ireland, have become a symbol of the country, and have witnessed every threat of force from the Nordic continent from ancient times to the present day, and it is the last memory of people bidding farewell to Great Britain, and it was also the first impression of Britain when people from all over the world came here." ”

Su Hang looked at this masterpiece of nature and felt that the beauty of the White Cliff in Ireland lies in its naturalness, without a trace of artificial carving. As you can imagine, the most unique and powerful view is from afar: the beautiful sea views and white cliffs, the busy marina of Irish Town, and sometimes the French territory.

Brooke walked over and looked at White Cliff and said wistfully: "The last time my brother came, he said that because of the fragile texture of White Cliff, the faults on the seaside will be weathered every year on average, and occasionally there will be major collapses. In addition, this place may be devastated by war at any time, I don't know if it will survive in the future! ”

"Yes, the White Cliff is like a work of art created by the Creator, and it will not be easily damaged" Su Hang looked at the White Cliff and thought in his heart that if human beings did not destroy nature, then a natural landscape like this should be preserved for a long time.

Brooke took a few photos of Su and Hangzhou with the White Cliff as the background, and asked tourists to appear nearby to give the two of them the vast sea and the White Cliff as the view, leaving this moment.

Brooke turned around and walked towards the cliff with Su Hang, and in the distance, Su Hang saw Irish Town Castle standing proudly on the white cliff, Su Hang and Hunter walked quickly closer, from here you can clearly see the busyness of the port.

Suhang and Brooke walked to the center of the castle, where a huge tower stood. Brooke noticed that Su Hang was looking at the tower, so he introduced: "This tower was built by Henry II and his successors. ”

Brooke looked to the side of the castle, pointed to the towering lighthouse on the other side, and said, "There are two Roman lighthouses in Irish Town that are 24 meters high, and this is one of them. After finishing speaking, he looked at Su Hang, who was watching the castle, and said: "Su Hang, this castle in Irish Town is and has been responsible for the defense of Irish Town. That is, there is no war breaking out now, and if it is wartime, it is strictly forbidden to visit this military place. ”

Su Hang noticed a group of tall soldiers walking around Irish Town Castle, looked at Brooke and asked, "Are they in charge of patrolling?" ”

"They are soldiers from the 2nd Battalion of the West Kent Regiment, and they come here from time to time, but they are not stationed here." Brooke looked at Irish Town Castle and said again towards Suhang: "But even if there is no one stationed here, no one enters the castle, and it is forbidden to enter." ”

"It's a pity that I didn't have the opportunity to visit!" Su Hang looked at the castle and shook his head.

On the way back, due to the topography, when Su Hang looked down from above, he found that there was an independent and gorgeous manor in the distance on the outskirts of the small town of Irishtown, and asked Brooke beside him curiously: "Who owns such a large manor?" ”

Brooke looked down the place Su Hang had said, "Oh, you said that manor, that there is the manor of the Royal Military Academy of Sandhurst, called Roberts Manor. However, in general, few people come there, and only some servants live there and clean up. ”

"Brooke, do you know the manor well?"

"They often have servants who come to the town to buy supplies, and many people in the town know about it." Brooke was clear, they came to town a lot, and it was hard to get to know them.

After listening to this, Su Hang nodded. He and Brooke walked slowly down the mountain, admiring the White Cliffs, an outstanding work of art of nature.

In two days, Brooke took Su and Hangzhou all over Irish Town, and took photos in some places as souvenirs. For Su Hang, these photos are not only the "first" impression of Irish Town, but also the "first" impression of Irish Town in the real sense. After all, before, they were all nested in the hotel, in a state of chaos, how could they have the heart to observe Irish Town!

Time flies, and the years pass inadvertently. It has been half a year since Su Hang came to the "Locke" hotel, and in this half year, Su Hang has successively taught the bartender how to configure the ten cocktails of his memory noodles, attracting more travelers. In half a year, Su Hang has deepened his understanding of Irish Town, and also let Su Hang know more people.

Su Hang is sometimes idle, and likes to walk around the whole town of Irishtown. Sunset is the moment when the sunset is about to pull down the night, and for some reason, it always seems to give people a feeling of loneliness and loneliness. Walk on the way to the pier and watch the people come and go. Su Hang thought back to his understanding of the small town of Irish Town in the Empire on which the sun never sets. Irish Town? Located in Kent, in the southeast of Britannia, Kent is known as the "Britannia Garden".

Suzhou and Hangzhou looked at this familiar and "unfamiliar" town while walking, familiar is the understanding of the past six months, and "strange" is the original relatives and friends or no news. Walking alone on the street, looking at the shops around you, the endless stream of people coming in and out. In the blink of an eye, the sky gradually darkened, there were fewer pedestrians on the street, and the lights in the surrounding shops turned on. When I came to the dock, a faint night fog shrouded the sea, and from a distance, the scattered barges were moving on the sea, which seemed very blurry, and only little by little black shadows were moving. The sound of the engine on the small steamer was broadcast with the fresh evening breeze.

Su Hang strolled on the wharf, at the end of the wharf the lighthouse tower lamp appeared in the night mist, came to the door of the lighthouse and gave the lighthouse keeper 10 shillings, told him that he wanted to see the night town of Irish Town from a high place, and walked in. From the top of the lighthouse, the huts are like the nests of seagulls, the boats are like beetles, and the people walk on the streets like sunspots.

Standing on the lighthouse, Su Hang found that less than two hundred meters away from the port, in a remote location, a small and simple house, where a large number of lights were lit up, and the voice of speech was unusually vivid now that the sky was dark. Su Hang often walked on the dock at night, knowing that it was a wine house for fishermen and sailors who came off the boat, often playing cards, drinking, chatting and farting.

Su Hang walked down the lighthouse and looked at the lighthouse that was shining at night. I thought to myself, I was like a ship drifting on the sea at night, a lighthouse on the harbor at night, where there was only a bright light to tell you where the end was, but the lighthouse did not illuminate the whole night, and the long night still needed to reach the end by yourself. And his own ship needs the lighthouse in the night to guide him on how to walk in this troubled world.

Bell ~ bell ~ bell ~

The bell came leisurely, accompanied by the hazy night, accompanied by the cool night breeze, anything can be thought of, everything can be put aside, and I took a gentle breath, it seemed that there was a faint salty smell, floating from the sea.

Irish Town and London are very close by, and if you drive, it's only an hour's drive. However, the environment is very different, Irish Town is a quiet and peaceful town, perhaps because of its proximity to the sea, there is no air pollution, and the sanitation is better than London. London's industrial pollution and environmental protection are quite poor.

At night in Irish Town, stroll around the harbor and watch the vast night sky with the salty smell of the sea blowing. The night is melting, and the dark sky is dotted with stars, as if blinking mischievously, curiously looking at the secrets of the world.

Walking and walking, Su Hang unconsciously returned to the door of the hotel, watched the scattered people around him hurrying in the night, turned his head and walked into the hotel, and walked straight into the bar.

"'Passion Morning' tastes so good, I come for a few drinks every night."

"Yes, in the past few months, 'Locke' has produced ten new cocktails, and they taste really good! I'm the latest cool and refreshing taste 'king', and that taste is full of aftertaste every time I drink it! ”

"Harry, you're here again, you've been here for half a month in a row, be careful of Mrs. Blaize, don't let you go to bed at night, hahaha!"

Harry, who was stout, had big shoulders and a round waist, and lived like a plump autumn and winter melon, took a sip of the spicy 'Eye King Snake', and muttered "You stupid x, this kind of thing can't happen." ”

The people around were chatting and drinking wine. Su Hang walked into the bar, several regulars saw it, and greeted Su Hang, Su Hang said hello to these people, and after a few teases, he came to the bar counter, picked up the snow kettle, shook a glass of 'Passionate Morning', and handed it to a British man who pooped outside the bar.

Time passed quickly, and the arrival of midnight caused the people in the bar to gradually disperse, after all, the bar is a side business of the hotel, and it is impossible to open 24 hours a day, affecting the guests of other hotels, which will make the hotel suffer.

Su Hang cleaned up the bar counter of the bar, went back to the house to rest, and didn't say anything all night. The next day, Su Hang asked Mr. Celt for a leave of absence, to go to the bank, to see the disposal of the treasures stored in the bank, when the parents of "Su Hang" stored the treasures for the first time, the bank suggested that some of them be taken out for auction in London, and after the news, they contacted the parents of "Su Hang". However, no one would have imagined that such a tragedy as a shipwreck would occur.

The branch of the Barclay Bank was mainly used by merchants and wealthy people who traveled here for storage and exchange. With a history of more than 300 years, this bank is the oldest in the UK and was built only a few years ago.

Su Hang got up early in the morning and simply dealt with the work he needed to be busy. After that, I looked at the time, it was not too late, and I left the hotel and headed for the Barclaynes Bank in the center of town.

After walking for about ten minutes, I came to the center of the town.

Walking to the door of the bank, looking at the bustling crowd, Su Hang walked into the bank. The first thing that catches your eye is the four marble pillars that connect the first and second floors. On both sides of the door, there are two rows of couches facing each other, and between the sofas opposite each other are cherry wood coffee tables, and several middle-aged British men in suits and leather shoes and women in long skirts sit on the sofas filling out their respective documents. On the side of the sofa on the right is a table that resembles a stage in later generations, and behind it stands a beautiful young and beautiful British woman with a professional smile, introducing something to the others opposite, and it can be seen that she is a docent.

Facing the two rows of sofas is the deposit and withdrawal table, a 10-metre-long marble platform connected to the ceiling of the first floor with a protective mesh made of iron bars. Four staff members are working in the workbench to make deposits and withdrawals for customers outside, and there are also very few who come to exchange money.

Next to the workbench is a wooden staircase leading to the second floor, on both sides of the staircase there are four British men with big shoulders and round waists, cold faces and overalls wearing overalls and two British women with cold faces standing on both sides of the stairs, the side of the jacket is faintly bulging in the shape of a gun, wearing military boots standing motionless, eyes indifferent like clay statues.

In front of the four security guards, a handsome British man in his twenties, wearing a professional suit, stood there, smiling and registering the relevant information of the relevant people leading to the second floor.

Looking at the people in the bank hall where people came and went, Su Hang came to the British beauty at the door who introduced the banking business and said, "May I ask, where can I inquire about the situation of storage and shooting?" ”

The British beauty saw a handsome young man with a tall figure and short brown ink hair, and said with a smile: "Sir, are you going to take pictures yourself, or are you going to inquire about the items you want to deposit?" ”

"My parents once deposited a batch of items here, and I came to check the current auction situation." Immediately afterwards, Su Hang told the staff the names of his parents and the date of storage.

"Sir, please wait a moment." The staff said to Su Hang, and then walked to the handsome British man by the stairs, and after saying a few words to the other party, he looked at Su Hang.

The handsome British man walked towards the second floor, and after a while, he came back again, this time going straight to Suzhou and Hangzhou. "Sir, please come with me, I need you to verify your identity."

"Good"
