Soon, taking advantage of the gray weather when the sun came out at three o'clock, everyone saw the seals lying on the ice.

They don't have many predators here, such as sharks, killer whales, etc., which don't enter the interior of Iceland through the long slender rivers thousands of miles away, and the knowledge passed down for thousands of years tells them that it is very dangerous to go deep into the area where humans live.

Chen Xing looked at the seal for a while, and then looked up at the somewhat bright sky.

Who knows it's three o'clock in the afternoon without looking at the time?

The sun comes out at 3 p.m. and then disappears completely at around 4 p.m., and this is winter in Iceland, a world of night.

Chen Xing has not been in contact with the polar night for a long time, and it is interesting for him to see so many people getting up and working at night, or some tourists from all over the world walking on the streets of Iceland, because you can't see such a scene in many countries in Europe.

But if it takes a long time, maybe he will get bored too.

It's a day without light.

Chen Xing ordered a dish of Icelandic fish puree, he also has a name on the menu, called Plokkfiskur, this is the national dish of Iceland, almost all Icelandic restaurants have this dish, the recipe is actually very simple, mashed fish, mixed with mashed potatoes butter, cream and a little curry powder, pepper slow roasted, and finally poured with a local Icelandic sauce.

In European cuisine, sauce is undoubtedly the protagonist of the whole dish, and it depends on him whether it tastes good or not.

Chen Xing saw that the portion of this dish was not very large, so he ordered two more appetizing side dishes, and then asked for a bottle of cold beer and waited for the chef to prepare the dish.

Don't look at the outside is now a cold and snowy place, the wind is mixed with goose feathers and snow, but inside this hut is very warm, due to the location is a little far away from the city, there is no radiator in the town, but the burning fireplace is transmitting a lot of heat.

The temperature in this room is at least about thirty, which is not cold at all.

As soon as the dish was served, when Chen Xing was about to eat, a person sat down across the table, and when he saw Chen Xing looking up at himself, he said, "There are a lot of people here today, is it okay for me to sit here?" ”

"Yes."

Chen Xing ordered two staple dishes, a dessert and an onion soup, which occupied a lot of seats at this table, and when he heard her words, he moved towards himself slightly, and then chatted casually: "Did you just come?" Are there any rooms? ”

"Yes, I booked the last one." She laughs.

This woman looked a little older than Chen Xing, and was now wearing a blue down jacket, which she took off and put aside when she felt hot, and was wearing a sweater with Icelandic characteristics.

Sweaters are all the same, but what is Icelandic?

The locals here like to weave dark wool around the neckline on the top half of the sweater into the kind of triangle that children draw the sun's rays, one circle after another, about three or four circles, they call this Ferris wheel sweater.

Chen Xingting likes to take a look at the local clothing store when sweeping the streets, and bought two of these sweaters a few days ago.

Not to mention, it's really comfortable to wear.

The woman's name is Lacey, a native of Iceland, who lives in a small town in the north, and she also came to see the bike race today, but it is too late now, so she will find a local hotel to stay in for a day and drive home the next morning.

I looked around the town and didn't have a room, so I listened to someone else's introduction to this wooden house hotel.

"Are you new to Iceland? So what do you think about our country? Lacey asked, a little curious.

Iceland has a lot of guests in the summer, which is considered the peak season, and there are very few tourists who come here in the polar night in winter, not to mention that this man will live here for a month, so Lacey is really curious about what Chen Xing thinks.

"Opinion?" Chen Xing thought for a moment.

It's only been a few days since he arrived, and it's hard for him to express any opinions.

But he loves the country.

There is only one big city in this country of less than 400,000 people, but in fact, only a few hundred thousand people live in Reykjavík, and together with some small towns around the radiation, the entire Reykjavik region is home to two-thirds of Iceland's population.

Chen Xing only learned about this situation yesterday, and then he was relieved that he was on the news network in the sky and the first hot search in Iceland the next day.

"I love it here, it's quiet and peaceful, the sweaters are good, and the fish puree is very delicious."

Lacey looked at the Icelandic fish puree in Chen Xing's bowl and said:

"The fish puree my mom made was so delicious that the sauce she used was different from the restaurant outside. Also, if you like this dish, I have to tell you something. This simple dish has different recipes and different ingredient combinations in different chefs and families, and it can be said that there are a thousand kinds of Plokkfiskur in the hands of a thousand people. ”

"Then I'm looking forward to it even more."

Chen Xing is very satisfied with the texture and taste of the cod after it is made into fish puree, so if the dish is different in each restaurant, then he can taste a different Icelandic fish puree during his month in Iceland.

It's pretty good, too.

Before coming to Iceland, a friend in Norway told him that there was no food in Iceland, but now it seems to be okay.

Soon the things that Lacey ordered also came up, and the two chatted while eating, watching the sky outside get darker and darker again, and the sun, which only came out to punch a card, was about to leave work after less than an hour's work.

"Glgga Vedut," she suddenly said in Icelandic.

Chen Xing was stunned, he had been communicating in English before, why did he speak Icelandic all of a sudden?

She pointed out the window.

Since it is still bright, looking out of the window of the restaurant, the snow-capped mountains in the distance are undulating, the glacier is flowing slowly, and the ice floes are constantly colliding with the wind, which can be faintly heard in the restaurant.

There is a kind of harsh beauty.

Lacey explains: "In Icelandic, Glgga means window, and Vedut means weather, but it depends on the situation, guess what I mean by Icelandic? ”

Icelandic language is actually very distinctive, it belongs to the North Germanic language branch with several countries in Northern Europe, didn't Chen Xing learn the concept of Scandinavia from others, the North Germanic language branch can actually be called the Scandinavian branch.

Although they belong to the same language branch, Iceland has long been isolated from the rest of the world, and the development of the language has gradually become very different from that of his brothers over the millennia.

However, it can still be guessed in English.

Chen Xing said: "Do you want to say that the scenery outside the window is really good? ”

"Intelligent, it seems that you have a talent for learning Icelandic."

"I have a talent for learning any language." Chen Xing said jokingly.

But it's not a joke, he really has a talent for languages, which could be a side effect of the system instilling language in him? Anyway, no matter what country he goes to, he will speak some simple words after staying for three or five days.

After eating, Lacey said that she was going back to her room to rest.

Chen Xing was not sleepy, so he put on a down jacket and walked out of the wooden house and hotel, and walked towards the glacier not far away.

There are many rivers called glaciers in Iceland, the most famous of which is of course the glacier lagoon, which is one of Iceland's most famous sights. The name Diamond Beach comes from the fact that the black sand beach near the lake has a lot of ice that washes ashore and looks sparkling during the day, just like diamonds.

Hence the name, Diamond Beach.

But in this place, there seems to be ice that has washed ashore like this.

Chen Xing took the hat of the down jacket well, and the collar was pulled high to block his mouth and nose to prevent himself from being blown by the wind, and the fluff on the edge of the hat was blown by the wind and swayed left and right, which was particularly interesting to watch.

Why else do many people say that Chen Xing has a childlike heart? I can look at this hat fluff for a while, and I still stand in such a strong wind.

It is estimated that there is no one but him for dozens of kilometers around.

A few minutes walk to the edge of the glacier.

Sure enough, there is a beach, but it is not dark, and there is a simple embankment made of stones between it and the glacier, and the river water in the glacier is mixed with ice floes, and some broken ice is scattered on the beach, which is considered to have the shadow of two or three diamonds.

There was a couple sitting on the edge of the embankment.

It seems that in such an environment, Chen Xing is not the only one who wants to come out to see the scenery, there are still people who like the scenery as much as him.

Chen Xing walked towards a place far away from them, and hoped that they had better come out to see the scenery. Otherwise, it would be a bit sad to fall in love and warm each other in this cold and snowy place, because he is destined to have no one to warm the cold quilt today.

Chen Xing has also seen a lot of ice cubes on the ground, and it turns out that ice also has so many colors.

Some ice cubes are pure white, opaque, and you can't see what is on the other side when you pick them up, and there are blue ones, and I don't know what elements are in this blue ice cube, in short, it is very magical, and Chen Xing also saw a few pale yellow ice cubes.

Further on, there is an endless desert.

Chen Xing stayed here and opened his arms to welcome the baptism of wind and snow for a minute.

This place only brings Chen Xing cold and gloomy, although it is said to be an attraction, but there is really nothing to visit, so foreigners can come here to take a look at the ice on these beaches, which is an affordable alternative to Diamond Beach.

However, in the cold, Chen Xing actually felt a peace from the heart.

There is also the wooden house inn before, which exudes warmth from the inside out, like home.

Chen Xing missed the fire in the fireplace a little.

Chen Xing looked into the distance and said in his heart...... Go back to the fire!

On the way, Chen Xing saw the couple again, but they hadn't left yet, and they were carefully scooping water up from the ice river with a cup. Chen Xing took out his mobile phone and wanted to take a picture secretly, and then told Hedwig that he was so lonely that he could ask for comfort.

But before the news was sent, I saw the girl excitedly asking her boyfriend to drink the water she had just scooped up from the river.

Chen Xing kindly shouted: "Hey, this water is seawater, you can't drink it." ”

However, when he spoke, the boy had already drunk a little, and then looked at Chen Xing with a little doubt: "Is it sea water?" It's not salty...... It's cold, it's cold. ”

The girl also looked at Chen Xing and said, "This is obviously water melted from a glacier, how can it be seawater?" ”

She swore by it, and the boy also said that the water was freshwater.

Now it was Chen Xing's turn to be puzzled.

He recalled with his clever little brain, when he saw the seal before, he knew that most of this place was connected to the sea, and just now he chatted with Lacey, and she also said that this is the sea, and it is possible to catch a lobster here.

But why is water light?

Chen Xing buried his head in checking information with his mobile phone, the couple felt cold after coming out for a long time, and now they wanted to go back to the hotel, and when they passed by Chen Xing, they also said, "Do you want to go back together?" There may be a snowstorm this afternoon and it's cold outside. ”

"I'll go back right away." Chen Xing said.

He's looking for help from Whitescale.

"Glacier, near Brentios...... Yes, it's seawater, why freshwater? ”

Chen Xing looked at the river and always felt that they were lying to themselves.

So I came up with the idea of trying it myself.

As soon as this thought came out, he couldn't stop, Chen Xing hurriedly found a convenient location, and took a little water out of the river with his hands, the water looked very clean, and whether it was seawater or glacier water, there were no bacteria.

He is not afraid of bacteria, he must know whether the water is salty or light.

…………

Chen Xing returned to the wooden house with a stinky face.

He didn't see the couple in the restaurant on the first floor, but Laixi, who had originally gone upstairs to rest, was now chatting with a few people, and when he saw Chen Xing coming back from outside, he nodded and said hello, Chen Xing also smiled and nodded to her, and then went to the fireplace.

Really, it's salty.

Chen Xing can only say that they succeeded, at least the man who said that the water was fresh water succeeded, and tricked Chen Xing into taking the water with his hands and tasting it once, so that now his right hand is cold, and his body is cold.

It's half past four, and the fire goes first.

Take off his clothes and put them on his lap, Chen Xing, who was sitting on the chair, roasted for a few minutes and his body warmed up, holding his mobile phone and swiping the comments of the beep station, and skipping the good likes and bad ones.

He compiled his previous videos in Sweden and Norway into an 18-minute video, and the response was good.

Although Sweden is a country with an average view of Chen Xing, the scenery here has a feeling of elf life, especially in some rural areas, this feeling is especially strong.

Isn't there one of those houses in The Hobbit built on a stretch of grass?

Most of the Swedish countryside is like this, and recording a video and then getting a little filter is the kind of texture in a movie.

Netizens also seem to like Sweden's environment.

So there are a lot of comments on this video.

Compared with Sweden and Norway, Chen Xing feels that he likes Iceland a little more, this is by no means his relationship with the Icelandic news network, the main thing is that he likes Iceland's coldness and coldness, maybe this is a blessed land given by God to artists.

The quiet environment is perfect for thinking about life.
