Chapter 395: The Ancient Colosseum of Huaxia

Chen Xing cares a lot about his books, especially after he gets to know those writer friends.

Although it is true that he made a lot of money in Carl's hands, this is also a matter of your affection, money is money, friendship is friendship, we cultural people's affairs, can we take money to talk about things?

Chen Xing is very happy to make money, and Carl is also happy because he invited Chen Xing to shoot his cover, this is a win-win situation.

So Chen Xing rightfully sent him a book.

All in Chinese.

After all, his book is not like Carl's autobiography, which has countless editions.

When he was in Iceland, Chen Xing got the book and gave it to Chen Jiaqian, and also sent it to Carl. Ovie. Knausgaard has finally achieved a new achievement in his life.

That is to finish reading an original Chinese book.

A few days ago, he was very happy when he received the gift from Chen Xing, I don't know why, although he has only been in contact with Chen Xing for a short time, he always feels that the relationship between everyone should be like an old friend who has known each other for many years.

So he gave Chen Xing his new book manuscript, which is estimated to sell for a lot of money if Chen Xing is willing to sell it.

Carl opened the gift and looked at it.

Hey? Chinese books?

Which of his books was published?

Chen Xing met him once before leaving Norway, and at that time Chen Xing said that he also had a book to be published, but unfortunately he couldn't get it for the time being. At that time, Carl thought that Chen Xing was joking, after all, it was normal for young people to brag and raise their face.

And Chen Xing's alcohol consumption is not good, Carl thinks Chen Xing is drunk.

So I didn't ask about this matter in detail, if I really asked, Chen Xing couldn't make it up, then everyone would be very embarrassed.

But is it really out?

A good friend sent me a book that I wrote, not to mention that Carl is a writer himself, but anyone would want to take a look at it.

So he gritted his teeth, found a translator who could speak Chinese, and spent a few days reading this travelogue.

Facebook Chat ......

"Star, long time no see, I recently finished reading the travelogue you sent, your experience in France is fantastic, if I hadn't been to Paris, then I would definitely take your book with me as a Bible...... Unfortunately, I have been there more than twenty years ago. ”

"Thank you for the compliment, say more, I like it very much, but what do you mean when you say you've been there? Is it useless to go to my book? ”

"Yes, I've already been robbed of bags in Paris, stolen in the subway, and those damn Parisian thieves have stolen even the burgers I bought, and these things have long since exhausted my passion for Paris. If I had read your book earlier, I probably wouldn't have experienced these things. ”

"It must have been more than 20 years earlier, and I wasn't even born yet......"

And it turns out that thieves in Paris were already so rampant before the millennium?

"Anyway, well written, do you have any idea of publishing this book in Norway? You've seen the publishers I've worked with, and they'll probably be interested in your travelogue. ”

"Please be sure to help me get in touch!"

You don't need to be polite to chat with friends, Chen Xing really wants to publish his book abroad.

Or go back and find the teacher?

Is it possible to publish a French version as well?

Forget it.

The Paris in his book is not all beautiful as people think, if it is published in France, he will definitely be scolded, he makes so much money from the French and doesn't say much good things about the country, Chen Xing may be unilaterally expelled from France by those French trolls.

When Carl saw Chen Xing say this, he immediately went to help Chen Xing call and recommend.

In his opinion, this book is really good, it is a very comprehensive French travel guide, in which Chen Xing himself introduces the major museums in Paris, his views, the route of the self-driving tour, the accommodation in the Paris area, the major shopping stores and so on.

From some of the travel stories, you can also see the unique style of France.

Chen Xing saw that Carl stopped talking, so he sent a very grateful emoji and lay on the seat...... He is now on his way to a Guizhou folk event in a minority autonomous prefecture in southern Guizhou.

Now that I decided to take a plane after watching the football game, there was plenty of time, and there was also a period of time before the football game started.

Therefore, Chen Xing took the car and prepared to take a look at another group activity that was also very famous.

Bullfight.

This activity is free and open to locals in southern Guizhou, there are a lot of people, and foreign tourists have to collect money if they want to go, and the one Chen Xing found is more famous, and the ticket fee is 60 yuan per person if it is a single person.

Chen Xing mainly went to see the excitement.

He likes to be quiet when he looks at the scenery, but when he watches the game, of course, there are more people and more atmosphere.

Chen Xing was very happy when he went, but when he got to the car, he was a little offended.

The front section of the highway is fine, off the highway, many roads are not very smooth, although the car does not have too much shaking, but this like the wave of the driving feeling, but it is more difficult for some people with motion sickness to self-control.

Chen Xing is still sitting in a van carrying seven passengers, and if he was in a bus, he would have dizzed out a long time ago.

Putting down the phone, Chen Xing rubbed his temples.

The car has been driving for more than three hours and is already very close to the destination.

Outside the window are all kinds of small hills, occasionally you can see a flat paddy field under the road, Guizhou paddy field is more than dry field, and because the cultivated area is not enough, there are also some terraced fields, but not the scale of Chunmanzhai.

"It's coming, there are two passengers in the ancient thirty-six village bullring, isn't it?"

"Yes." Chen Xing said.

The other young man nodded in agreement.

There was no one to chat with on the road before, only the driver made a call with his wife for less than a minute while driving, so Chen Xing now knows that there is another person who has the same destination as himself.

Twenty minutes later, the two got out of the car.

Chen Xing also wanted to talk to him and ask about the bullfight this afternoon, but as soon as he got out of the car, he saw that the man in front of him had followed a motorcycle master.

"So skilled, locals?"

This van is delivered directly to the place in this town, so although the young man got off here, he knew that he didn't get off here to watch the game when he got into the driver's car.

The ancient 36 village bullring is now in front of Chen Xing's eyes.

There is an ancient character in front of this bullring, but this arena is not old at all, or even very new, because it is a building that has only been built in the last ten years, and it has nothing to do with ancient buildings.

It is said on the Internet that because this competition has a long history, there was a 36-village bullfighting competition a long time ago, so the name of the new venue is also exactly used in the construction of the new venue.

There was nothing to be seen from the outside, and the position along the street was blocked by a circle of antique shops, and these buildings had a second and even a third floor, and the four sides of these buildings were empty, like small pavilions built on top of the houses.

Special seating?

The game started at three o'clock in the afternoon, and Chen Xing came a little early now.

There was only one old man looking at his phone at the door of entering the bullring, and the door was open, and Chen Xing could see the seats inside from the street.

A bit like that Colosseum in Arles?

Chen Xing was deeply impressed by the Colosseum in Arles, after all, this place exhibited his works for several months, and then won the newcomer award, which can be regarded as his blessed land. It's a pity that there are very few performances over there now.

Even if there is, it has nothing to do with fighting beasts. (End of chapter)
