Chapter XXXI: Vatican Museums

"The Vatican Museums are located north of St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican and were originally the papal court. The collection of rare artefacts and art treasures rivals that of the British Museum in London and the Louvre Museum in Paris. With a total area of 55,000 square meters, the origins of the museum can be traced back to a marble statue purchased 500 years ago......"

A tour guide holding a small red flag, using a portable megaphone, is leading a group of tourists from the Celestial Empire in the far east through the main entrance of the museum.

This ticket is very eye-catching and walks up the spiral staircase, it should be specially going to the fifth floor of the Itulia Pavilion to see the Holy Grail on display.

Most of the visitors to the Celestial Empire demonstrated the good manners and public etiquette of the people of the great country. However, I don't know why, Chinese people are always blacked out by a small number of people, and this time it is the same. Among the people on this ticket, there were a few arrogant tourists who began to make loud noises and take pictures unscrupulously as soon as they entered the door.

They went ahead of me, and I could see them when I looked up.

These "celebrities" with a high return rate may be a family, they have common characteristics, and they are standard local tyrants at first glance: big gold chains, small watches, spraying Dior, holding iPhones, and constantly scratching their heads and posing to take pictures. Completely disregarding the surprised gaze of others and fellow groupers.

I waved to Yuan Meng and overtook them quickly.

Today is the first day of the museum's exhibition of the "Holy Grail", so there are not too many tourists and believers, if it is tomorrow, not only the flow of visitors from afar has reached its peak, but also the believers who want to listen to Pope Francis's teachings in St. Paul's Square will flock to the Vatican Museums at the highest value, and the number of visitors will probably be limited.

There are not many tourists in the Itulia Pavilion today, but it is also relatively speaking, but it is not crowded, and it is definitely not deserted.

Yuan Meng and I took a turn before stopping in front of the "Holy Grail" booth.

The "Holy Grail" is placed in a high-density bulletproof fiberglass enclosure, and the separation belt encloses a one-meter-square area to keep visitors out of the perimeter.

Although the isolation zone is a narrow fluorescent band, most of the tourists stand outside in an orderly manner and pass by slowly. Of course, there are also people who do not follow the rules and go through the isolation zone to look at it, and secretly take pictures.

These things are common in every attraction, and there are unruly people in every country, but I don't understand why most foreigners will think that I am a Celestial Empire tourist when they see an Asian person breaking the law. Maybe the probability of our previous violation is really high!

At the moment, an Asian man was drilling through the barrier and holding the fiberglass cover on display of the "Holy Grail", posing for a flying poss, and his companion held up his camera in the crowd, and the flash flashed a few times before the volunteers who maintained order at the scene rushed over.

However, he was obviously late, and the two scumbags had already disappeared into the crowd.

The volunteers couldn't find them, but they were passing under my nose, and the two guys were chattering as they walked with their heads down, and I listened,! Little Japanese child!

Bah! I took a sip in my heart and followed the tourists in line past the "Holy Grail".

When I approached the famous cup and finally appeared in front of me, I felt that it was nothing more than that, just a name.

The "Holy Grail" is a metal goblet cup with beautiful lace engraved in gold and encrusted with a huge, somewhat tacky ruby. It looks valuable, but it's not mysterious.

Does it have a clue to the "Book of Nord" on it? I looked and looked, and was a little skeptical.

Of course, from such a distance, even if there is something abnormal, I can't see it, I exchanged glances with Yuan Meng~, and then slowly left with the flow of people.

We desperately want to get the Holy Grail. But we can't blatantly rob in broad daylight, and today is just stepping on the spot, preparing for the next action.

Hand in hand, like many couples, we walked out of the venue intimately and romantically, along the evacuation routes, and slowly left the Vatican Museums with other visitors.

When we got into a taxi on the street outside the museum and left, two Japanese people who had been following us in the Holy Grail exhibition area suddenly flashed out from behind the iron pillar of the street lamp and delivered a message through a Bluetooth headset, "Boss, they're in a taxi!" ”

At the same time, on the edge of the stone railing on the open-air balcony on the fifth floor of the Vatican Museums, a demonic silver-haired woman said into the Bluetooth headset, "Got it! …… The second team keeps up! ”

With that, she put down the binoculars in her eyes, lowered her head and took a sip of cold Coke from her straw, and then nonchalantly left the balcony to blend in with the crowd.

At an intersection three miles away from the Vatican Museums, our taxi was waiting for a green light release signal, Yuan Meng glanced in the rearview mirror and said to me in Chinese, "Xianggong, they are following!" ”

I smiled slightly, "They're really slow." ”

"Where are we going now?" Yuan Meng asked.

I looked back at her pretty face and smiled, "Since you came to Rome, wouldn't it be for nothing not to go to the Colosseum?" After speaking, I hugged Yuan Meng's incense ~ shoulder, and said in broken Italian, "Go to the gladiatorial arena, thank you!" ”

“OK！” The Italian driver said in a chic manner, at this moment, the red light turned green, and the car jumped out as soon as he stepped on the accelerator.

If you don't look at the history, don't go, because what you see is a clean ruin, but if you know its history very well, then standing on the empty and mottled field, you can even hear the passionate cry of the ancient Romans thousands of years ago.

Yuan Meng and I took a lot of photos as a souvenir, and after visiting for a long time, we were a little tired, so we sat down at the nearest pasta restaurant in the gladiatorial arena, ordered two bowls of noodles, and rested while eating.

It's the first time I've eaten pasta, but honestly, it's not delicious, it's not a little worse than Lanzhou ramen. At this time, I remembered an Internet joke, the full text has long been forgotten, the approximate meaning is that Italians came to China to learn to make dragon beard noodles, and they couldn't do anything, so they had to make lasagna after returning to China. At the time, I just laughed it off, but now I am so uncomfortable eating, I thought, maybe the Italian is really the apprentice of the Chinese chef who failed to pass or maybe it is still true.

I told Yuan Meng this joke, Yuan Meng spun the fork and wrapped the noodles around, and said with a smile, "I can't stop your mouth if I eat, if you don't like it, don't hurt others, I think it's not bad." ”

As he was talking, a couple pushed the door and walked into the noodle restaurant, Yuan Meng and I looked at each other and smiled, then stopped talking, slowly finished the noodles, paid the tip, and then got up and left.

At the door of the noodle restaurant, Yuan Meng asked me, "Where are we going now?" ”

I looked at the sky, it was already twilight, so I said, "It's not early, shake off your tail, go back to rest, we will have to be busy tomorrow." With that, I looked at Yuan Meng and asked, "Dear, did you have fun today?" ”

"Happy!" Yuan Meng took my arm and smiled, "With you, I'm happy everywhere!" ”

My heart moved, and I suddenly whispered to her, "Then let's be in bed tonight~ and have a good time......"

"you!" Yuan Meng punched me shyly, and while we were talking and laughing, we walked to the nearest Carrefour supermarket.

An hour later, I was lying on the couch in the hotel, the window open, and the cool breeze shook the thin curtains, making it like a dancer dancing in the wind, swaying in an exotic style.

Yuan Meng took a bath in the bath~ room, and I lazily turned on the old record player, although I listened to different lyrics, but this scene is very similar to the plot of a Hollywood big~ movie. In a trance, I felt like I was in a theater. It's a feeling that I find very interesting.

I was lying on the soft ~ soft sofa and was sleepy, Yuan Meng came out of the bath~ room, she was draped in a bath towel, wearing slippers, tilting her head to wipe her wet long hair. The snow-white skin was a seductive pink, and when I opened my eyes, I was stunned when I saw this scene.

Yuan Meng threw her long undried hair back her shoulders, saw me staring at her with lustful~, and said with a smile, "Husband, is the concubine good-looking?" ”

I howled wolf, jumped up, and was about to pull her bath towel, but she gently stopped me, "Xian take a bath, I'll wait for you!" ”

"Yes, Queen!" I happily flew to the bath~ room, and in less than ten seconds, I was standing naked under the showerhead.

In summer, the warm bath is actually the most relieving of the heat, hot water plus a while ten ~ eight ~ forbidden scenes, I can't help but be excited, when I apply the shower gel all over my body, I hear the bath ~ someone walking barefoot outside the bath.

There are just the two of us in the house, who else will come if it is not Yuan Meng, but I didn't expect Xiao Nizi to wait. I secretly rejoice, Yuan Meng and I have been married for almost half a year, but I have never played the game of mandarin duck bath, and this time I am happy.

I quickly flushed off the foam all over my body, and watched as the doorknob of the bath~ room was turned, and then the door was opened, and I was ready to give the person who opened the door a big surprise, so, when the door was completely opened, I jumped over and shouted, "Super! ”

I thought I would get a big hug, but what I never expected was that An An was wearing a three~point style and was standing at the door of the bath~ room in surprise with a small ~ mouth that became an "O" shape.

I was speechless in astonishment, and, crucially, I was undressed, and I was making an extremely exaggerated gesture in front of her, which was, really, really, so embarrassing......!

"Ah......h An An scream pierced the night sky of the Apennine Peninsula.
