Chapter 146: Sibilu Island
As soon as Zheng Jing entered the hotel, he heard a surprised voice next to him.
"Mr. Zheng?"
Hearing the voice, Zheng Jing turned his head to look and found a man with a white turban on his head walking towards him.
Seeing this person, Zheng Jing instantly remembered this person's name.
Alzabi, an oil merchant in Saudi Arabia.
At the party after the last Christie's auction, Zheng Jing and he exchanged business cards.
I didn't expect to meet here today.
"Alzabi, my friend, I didn't expect to meet you here."
Zheng Jing had a bright smile on his face, and then hugged him.
Alzabi looked at Zheng Jing, looked out again, and said, "Zheng, have you just arrived?" ”
"Yes, I just entered the hotel, I have to say, the two of us are really fateful, I didn't expect to meet here."
"yes, I also think the two of us are very close.
By the way, what are you doing now? Still being your world traveler? ”
"yes, I'm still traveling around the world."
Alzabi looked at him with envy and said, "I really envy you for traveling all over the world, unlike me, every day when I open my eyes, it is oil." ”
Made, if it weren't for the fact that there were so many people here, Zheng Jing would have wanted to beat him.
So Versailles, aren't you afraid of being beaten?
"By the way, how long have you been here? Why did you think you came here? ”
Zheng Jing suddenly remembered that the Alzabi family seemed to have no business in Indonesia.
Hearing Zheng Jing's question, Alzabi looked around, lowered his head and whispered, "I'm here to participate in an event, which is organized by several major oil countries. ”
Hearing Alzabi's words, Zheng Jing was puzzled.
"Really? The level of this event is so high? ”
"I didn't believe it when I heard it, but he was real.
For example, Russia, Afghanistan, Arabia and other major oil countries have all sent people over this time. They're staying in this hotel, and you might be able to see them then. ”
Hearing Alzabi's words, Zheng Jing became puzzled.
Why would so many oil-producing countries send people here?
I don't understand.
"It's not early, I still have something to do in the evening, and we have time to have a meal together."
"No problem."
Seeing Alzabi leave, Zheng Jing thought about what he had just said and shook his head.
After checking in, Zheng Jing took the room card and took the elevator to the room on the eighth floor.
After taking a shower, Zheng Jing stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with a cup of hot water in his hand and looked outside.
"Hey, I forgot about it."
Looking at the water in the cup, Zheng Jing suddenly remembered that there was a sap from the strange tree in the space.
He actually forgot to take it to the special agency for inspection.
Looking at the red liquid in the glass bottle, Zheng Jing patted his head in annoyance.
I'll have to wait until I get back.
In the evening, after eating, Zheng Jing asked the housekeeper whether the hotel had an open-air swimming pool.
Hearing that, Zheng Jing showed a satisfied smile.
Hehe, I don't know if he has peach blossom luck today.
Coming to the eleventh floor, Zheng Jing saw the swimming pool at a glance.
I don't know if I've just eaten, but there are quite a lot of people here.
Looking at the somewhat lively swimming pool, Zheng Jing looked at it wantonly.
After reading it, Zheng Jing shook his head.
It's not good quality.
Zheng Jing walked around the pool, and finally sat down on a chair in the lounge area and waited.
None of these women he had a fancy for, and he decided to wait.
Zheng Jing waited for an hour.
Seeing that the time was not early, Zheng Jing decided to go back.
It's already so late, there shouldn't be anyone coming.
Back in the room, Zheng Jing greeted President Chen Saichen and asked him to help ask what kind of tree was waiting for the photo and what its name was.
The message has been sent
Within a few minutes of going, Zheng Jing received Chen Sai's reply.
"No problem, I'll go to work tomorrow and find someone to show you."
Steady.
After listening to the voice sent by Chen Sai, Zheng Jing knew that it was stable.
If the gods who deal with plants all day long don't know it, then the tree is the type that hasn't been discovered yet.
Thinking of this, Zheng Jing had already begun to look forward to it.
opened Douyin, and Zheng Jing saw that the number of private messages had reached more than 5,000.
And the number of private messages is increasing.
Seeing these private messages, Zheng Jing knew that the video had exploded.
Sure enough, Zheng Jing opened the backstage and saw that the video uploaded yesterday had become popular.
It seems that everyone is curious about the Amazon.
After watching the data of the video, Zheng Jing opened a private message.
Looking at the number of private messages, Zheng Jing felt a little headache.
Forget it, don't look at it.
Seeing the number of private messages, Zheng Jing decided to have time to read them.
Turning off Douyin, Zheng Jing put his phone aside and fell asleep.
Nothing was said all night.
The second day of coming to Indonesia.
Getting up from the bed, Zheng Jing took his phone and looked at it.
It was found already nine o'clock in the morning.
He slept so deeply this night.
After washing up and changing clothes, Zheng Jing took out his mobile phone and checked the route to Xibilu Island.
Sibilu Island is more than 1,000 kilometers from Jakarta, and since there are few tourists to Sibilu Island, he has to reach Padang in West Sumatra and take a ferry from there.
After determining the route, Zheng Jing picked up his backpack and returned downstairs.
Coming to the front desk, Zheng Jing returned the house, and then stood outside the hotel and sent a message to Alzabi.
After telling him, Zheng Jing stopped a taxi.
"Where are you going?"
"Go to the bus station."
After telling the driver the address, Zheng Jing sat in the back and took out his mobile phone to search for information about Xibilu Island.
There is basically no information on Sibilu Island on the Internet.
Even if there is, it is also a passing pass.
It seems that you will only know what it is like when you get to Sibilu Island.
After half an hour of driving, the taxi driver dropped him off at the bus station in Jakarta.
Looking at the buses coming and going, Zheng Jing found the ticket window and bought a ticket to West Sumatra.
Finding the boarding gate, Zheng Jing found an empty seat and sat down.
After sitting down, Zheng Jing looked at the waiting hall.
As the capital's bus station, the departure hall here is very modern, basically no different from the domestic bus station.
There are two floors in the waiting hall, with the waiting area below and the shops above.
Because the bus to West Sumatra was about to depart soon, Zheng Jing didn't go up to take a look.
Looking up from the first floor, the layout of the shop on the second floor is similar to that of the domestic one.
Restaurants, supermarkets, specialty craft shops, and more.
And, of course, the indispensable Golden Arches and Burger King.
Soon, Zheng Jing heard the radio announcement to get on the bus.
Lined up, the staff quickly checked out the tickets.
Looking at the white and red bus, Zheng Jing walked up.
When he came to it, there were not many people in the car, so Zheng Jing sat in the front seat.
When everyone came up, the waiting seats on the bus were full.
The driver checked it and started the vehicle after there were no problems.
West Sumatra, a province of Indonesia, is located in the western part of Sumatra, which includes the Mentawi Islands, which are separated by the Mentawi Strait and cover an area of 42,297.30 square kilometers.
The capital of West Sumatra is Padang, which is also the largest city.
Patong is located on the west coast of West Sumatra, and because of its proximity to the ocean, there is also a Telok Payau port.
Patong is not only thriving today, but it was also a local trading center in the 16th century.
In the 16th and 17th centuries, pepper was grown here and sold to India
, Portugal, the United Kingdom and the Netherlands.
In 1663, the Dutch conquered the area and established a trading post in 1680.
Unfortunately, not long after the Dutch occupied the area, it was attacked by the British.
Later, Padang became a British dependency for the second time.
Since 1780, gold has been the most important traded commodity in Padang, and since the end of gold mining, the main trade commodities have become coffee, salt and textiles.
As a country of a thousand islands, Indonesia has a complex population distribution and ethnicity.
West Sumatra, for example, has a total of five million people.
Of these 5 million people, Minang Jiabao (88%), Badak (4%), Javanese (4%) and Mentawai (1%).
These ethnic beliefs are also different, with the most being Christianity (98%), followed by Christianity (1.6%), then Hinduism (0.0032%), and finally Buddhism (0.26%).
In the past, there were battles between many ethnic groups.
Some for food, some for women.
Until modern times, such a situation was much better.
However, this also happens in remote places.
Coincidentally, Sibilu Island is a pristine island.
In this island, there are many primitive tribes that live.
Judging from the system map, this treasure hunt may have to deal with people from these primitive tribes.
After ten hours of driving, at 8 p.m., the car finally arrived at its destination, Patong Bus Station.
Getting out of the car, Zheng Jing looked at the brightly lit bus station and followed the crowd out of the passage.
Outside, a group of taxi drivers saw the crowd coming out, shouting loudly about where they were going, and from time to time they asked people to ask.
Seeing this familiar scene, Zheng Jing suddenly thought of when he was in high school, when he saw such a scene for the first time, he was thin-skinned, and then he was deceived by others like this.
Since then, Zheng Jing has never believed the words of the taxi driver who left the bus station again.
"Where is my brother going? Do you want me to take you there? ”
At this time, a taxi driver who couldn't pull anyone finally came over.
Seeing Zheng Jing coming out of it, many drivers' eyes lit up.
This kind of person looks like a rookie who comes out for the first time.
Seeing so many drivers coming around, Zheng Jing smiled and didn't drive them away.
"The hotel I stay in is near here, so I don't take the car."
Zheng Jing opened his mouth and refused.
But these drivers didn't leave when they heard Zheng Jing's words, and they spoke even louder.
Zheng Jing stood in a safe place, looked at the drivers around him, and chose a person who looked honest.
"It's you."
Seeing that Zheng Jing had already chosen a good driver, those who did not choose could only leave with regret.
He followed the driver to his car, and the driver opened the door and sat in.
"Where is the gentleman going?"
Getting into the car, the driver asked.
Thinking of the hotel he was optimistic about when he came, Zheng Jing reported a name.
Hearing the name of the hotel, the taxi driver nodded his head to indicate that he already knew.
Watching the driver drive away from the bus station, Zheng Jing sat in the back and chatted with the driver.
Drivers who live here, should know a few things about Sibilu Island.
Unfortunately, he was unlucky, and the driver did not know that there was information about Sibilu Island.
Since the driver didn't know, Zheng Jing decided to take a look.
When I came to Patong city, the taxi stopped in front of a four-star hotel.
"Sir, the hotel has arrived."
Hearing the voice, Zheng Jing put away his mobile phone, and when he saw the hotel, Zheng Jing got out of the car with a backpack.
After paying the fare, Zheng Jing came to the lobby of the hotel with his backpack on his back.
Coming to the front desk, Zheng Jing checked in.
After checking in, Zheng Jing came to the room with the room card.
Look
In a tidy room, Zheng Jing checked it and found that there was no camera.
When he came out of the shower, Zheng Jing found that it was already very late.
Zheng Jing originally wanted to try Indonesian food, but now the chef of the restaurant has returned from work.
Luckily, he has a lot of prepared food in his space.
took the steaming food out of the space, and then Zheng Jing began to eat.
After eating, Zheng Jing touched his stomach, he was eight points full, he was ready to lie down for a while to eliminate his appetite, and then go to sleep.
Time passes in the swiping of Tik Tok.
At eleven o'clock in the evening, Zheng Jingcai fell asleep in bed.
…………
On the morning of April 13, Zheng Jing came down from upstairs.
When he came to the front desk, Zheng Jing saw that there were no guests at the front desk, so he hurriedly walked over.
"Hello sir, is there anything you can do?"
Seeing Zheng passing by, the two front deskers looked at him with a smile on their faces.
Zheng Jing looked at the two young and beautiful girls and asked, "Do any of you know about Sibilu Island?" ”
"Sibilu Island?"
Hearing the name of the island, the two receptionists shook their heads.
"Excuse me sir, we don't know anything about Sibilu Island."
Seeing that the two receptionists didn't know about Xibilu Island, Zheng Jing had no choice but to give up.
At the time of check-out, one of the front deskers suddenly thought of something.
She glanced at Zheng Jing and asked, "Sir, are you going to Sibilu Island?" ”
"Yes, I'm a traveler and want to visit Sibilu Island this time."
Hearing that Zheng Jing was a traveler, after seeing the visa on his passport, the two knew that what he said was not false.
"I remember living on Sibilu Island as a kid and all I knew was that it was pristine and full of forests.
Poisonous insects and poisonous scorpions can be said to be everywhere, I don't know anything else, I can't think of it. Hope it works for you. ”
"Yes, of course it works."
Zheng Jing was very satisfied, and after asking so many people, he finally knew some information.
Although he didn't know much, he also learned something from this information.
"These two amulets are given to you, how did they get from the Indian tribes of the Amazon, and bless you with peace."
When Zheng Jing left, with the help of the block of his backpack, he took out two talismans from the space.
These two amulets were not at all what he said they were, they were just bought by him at the ancient trade market.
"Thank you, sir."
The two front desk girls took the talisman and happily showed the little white teeth in their mouths.
Seeing their sexy red lips and snow-white teeth, Zheng Jing felt some reactions in his lower body.
Leaving the hotel, there was exactly a taxi parked here.
When the people got out of the car, Zheng Jing sat down.
"Go to the docks."
Because of the blockage of the strait, the only way to Sibilu Island is to take a ferry.
Zheng Jing didn't find the time of the ferry on the Internet, so he could only go over and take a look.
Soon, the taxi saw the pier.
Getting out of the car, Zheng Jing looked for it and found information about going to Sibilu Island.
There is a trip at 3 p.m.
"Until three o'clock in the afternoon?"
Seeing the ferry information, Zheng Jing was stunned.
It's going to take so long.
Zheng Jing found the staff and asked, knowing the result that frightened him.
He was the only one on this trip to Sibilu Island.
Therefore, the ferry can only pull the ticket first.
Thinking of the surprise of the staff just now when they heard that he was going to Sibilu Island, I don't know what he was surprised about.
Seeing that it was still early, Zheng Jing had no choice but to come outside.
Looking at the pier in the distance, Zheng Jing noticed that there were many people fishing.
Thinking of the fishing rod that had not been used once in the space, Zheng Jing suddenly felt a little itchy in his hands.
Anyway, it's still early in the afternoon, so it's time to go fishing.
Thinking of it, Zheng Jing looked around and found that there was a small forest in front of him, so he hurried away
in the past.
When he came out again, Zheng Jing had an extra big fishing bag in his hand.
When he came to the dock, Zheng Jing found a place with few people and started fishing.
…………
Fishing until more than two o'clock in the afternoon, Zheng Jing was reminded by the alarm clock before he thought that he still had to take a boat.
That's why the coach put away the fishing rod a lot.
This fishing is really addictive, and I have been fishing for so long before I know it.
Back in the hall, Zheng Jing found a place to take the boat and waited.
………
Half an hour passed quickly.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Zheng Jing boarded the ferry to Xibilu Island.
As the staff member said, he was a guest on the ship.
The staff on the ship were curious why he went to such a pristine place.
Zheng Jing told them that he was a traveler and a special advisor to the World Animal Protection Society.
Seeing Zheng Jing's Animal Protection Society's credentials, everyone knew why he went there.
For those of them, Sibilu Island is one of the pristine of the nearby islands.
This also explains why Zheng Jing went there.
Everyone has a kind of brain supplement, and there is no need for Zheng Jing to say anything.
When you think of these staff members coming and going to the surrounding islands every day, you must know a lot about the situation here.
Subsequently, Zheng Jing asked about the information about Sibilu Island.
"We know a lot about other islands, but we really know very little about Sibilu Island."
"Indeed, we only know that the island of Sibilu is very primitive, there are many trees on the island, and the forest is inhabited by the Menta foreigners."
"We don't know more about it, after all, none of us have been there."
Hearing the words of these staff, Zheng Jing learned a little more about Xibilu Island.
Thanks to the staff, Zheng Jing stood at the bow of the boat and looked at the island that was getting closer and closer, looking forward to it.
As the ship arrived, Zheng Jing got off the ship and finally arrived.
