Chapter 167: Old and New Sighs [Philippines]
[Actor's name: Zhu Xuanlong, read: Zhu Yilong.] 燡: for "fire"]
Shangguan Ying frowned and glanced at Zhu Xianlong, and said, "Actually, it's useless to ask you." You and I are both coming to the Philippines for the first time, and it is also the first time to pass through this sea area, and when we will arrive, I am afraid that even the captain of the ship, Gadalu, will be difficult to answer, because the ship itself is not accurate, it is too slow. ”
Zhu Xianlong smiled and nodded: "Slow down, slow down." Let's get enough of the sea this time, and we won't be clamoring to see the sea in the future. ”
Shangguan Ying said thoughtfully: "Although the ocean is full of water, somehow I can't see enough. ”
Zhu Xianlong joked: "Because the sea water is like a girl, with undulating lines, not to mention that it never stops dancing." Imagine a young girl dancing tirelessly, what a touching thing! The word dance is derived from the movements of the girl. Waves are .......... ”
Shangguan Ying rushed to speak: "Okay, okay!" 'Ups and downs' is a blind word, tell you the allusion, its source is "The Biography of Jian Yong": 'The sex is simple and arrogant, and when he comes to the seat first, he is still leaning on it, his majesty is not solemn, and he is self-indulgent. 'You, everything comes to women. ”
Zhu Xianlong said funny: "Actually, when I see the ocean, I think of Shangguan Ying's beautiful figure, and in addition, Shangguan Ying's heart is undulating, open and broad. ”
When Shangguan Ying heard this, she snuggled up to Zhu Xianlong happily, and said with a smile: "Messy with your heart and mind. Openness and broadness are about the same. ”
The two of them stared at the sea, as if they felt the feeling that people and the ocean breathed together.
It was finally dark, and the two washed up and slept early after dinner. The ups and downs of the sea. The cruise ship floated slightly. The shaking of the bed made Shangguan Ying feel uneasy. Luckily, it's a private room. It's a special feeling to hug a lover.
Another day passed, and the two were having lunch, and someone on the deck shouted, "I see, I see Manila Bay!"
Shangguan Ying rushed out of the dining room to see the scenery of the harbor, and Zhu Xianlong had no choice but to put down the coffee and steak and follow him. Soon after, the cruise ship entered the Bay of Manila along the Lubang Islands. A city full of high-rise buildings has appeared, although it is not as good as the architecture of any major city in Europe, but its attraction is the capital of an island country.
The capital, Manila, appeared. The new architecture blends seamlessly with the old Spanish Catholic architecture, and the city is Manila, the capital of the Philippines.
Manila, located on the west coast of Luzon, the largest island in the Philippines, was once ruled by Spain for more than 300 years, and there is still a shadow of that time, which is the architecture of that time. Now, it should be said that it is a city where the old and the new alternate, and it is the political, economic, and cultural center of the country.
Manila Bay is also a very important transportation hub and trading port in the country, with a long history of being a famous commercial port in the 16th century. Year 1898. Since the United States replaced Spanish rule, the urban area of Manila has gradually expanded. In the Second World War. The city was badly damaged. After independence in 1946, the Philippines was rapidly rebuilt.
The sea breeze was gentle, and the dense clouds in the sky gradually drifted to the northern Batan Islands, leaving a blue sky here. This act of nature was a welcome gift to the Siam.
Shangguan Ying saw the tropical coconut groves standing up, swaying with the sea breeze, and she said excitedly: "It's really a tropical garden city with beautiful scenery." ”
Zhu Xianlong also admired the scenery around him, and he responded: "Yes, this country has a strong tropical landscape! ”
The cruise ship has finally arrived at its destination, and it docks at Port 3 of Manila Bay. Captain Gadalu led all the crew in uniform and lined up on deck to see off all the passengers from the Thai Siam cruise ship. Everyone was equally enthusiastic about bidding farewell to the Siam cruise ship and its captain and crew.
Everyone rushed forward to hug the captain and the sailors, and Captain Gadalu was already in tears at this time. It can be seen that Captain Gadalu is at this moment extremely full of complicated and indescribable excitement! This mood is not only for the passengers, but also for the Siam, and for himself as he is about to end the voyage. Everyone turned around in a few steps and waved goodbye.
Zhu Xianlong and Shangguan Ying also turned back several times to wave goodbye to the captain and sailors, and they were inseparable.
Step onto the land of Manila, the capital of the Philippines, and feel the fresh air. Manila is a city with a long history, and it doesn't seem to be modernizing so fast, but it has its own unique style that is amazing. The reason for its admiration is that on the basis of Indian civilization, Chinese civilization and ancient Central Asian civilization, it has integrated Western civilizations such as Spain and the United States to form a culture that combines East and West.
Zhu Xianlong and Shangguan Ying came to the Nangong Hotel in Manila to stay and rest. After Shangguan Ying bathed, her body swayed, with pink white skin and girlish body fragrance into the thin silver jasmine pattern quilt, she wanted to sleep beautifully, the purpose is to have full of passion to enjoy the scenery, taste food and shop the next day.
After Zhu Xianlong washed, he also got into the quilt, and wanted to make love with Shangguan Ying for a while before sleeping, but a thought suddenly flashed in his mind, and he felt that he should first appreciate the whole picture of this small island country scattered like stars, and after lying down, he could think about the next trip and find the person holding the thousand-year-old phoenix sword, so he took out the map of the Philippines to see.
The Philippines is indeed a country with many islands, so it will be troublesome to find someone. In this way, my mind was confused, and I suddenly remembered the apprentice of Guichuan, Masaoka Yamazaki.
He pondered that his apprentice Masaoka Yamazaki would never sell the phoenix sword to his master's two guests again, so the information of the Americans, as well as the French Gosur and the British Jeremy, was useless. Since they are useless, why are they running to the Philippines to faint to death, it is all for those ridiculous dreams they have made.
So, is the divination witchcraft of the one-legged old witch of Nubilberizia still useful? Now, for the first time, I suddenly felt that I had done something too outrageous. The more I thought about it, the more angry I became, so I threw away the map and lay down in the quilt, and tossed in the quilt. After a while, it seemed that something happened again. So I got up, grabbed the map, and looked at it carefully.
I didn't think about it. This movement woke Shangguan Ying up from her dream. She couldn't sleep anymore, she sat up and snuggled on Zhu Xuanlong's shoulder, her eyes didn't bother to open, she crossed her feet like a cat, and her long white jade-like legs didn't know how to put them comfortably, until Zhu Xuanlong picked up her whole body and straightened it, Shangguan Ying opened her eyes. These eyes are like a trick, and the more they open, the wider they get. Until I looked at the map in a daze.
Shangguan Ying was surprised: "It turns out that the Philippines is a country consisting of seven thousand one thousand and seven islands. Wow! What a special country, like a pile of loose sand and stones! Will the people of this country lack cohesion in doing things?"
Zhu Xuanlong said with a smile: "How can you say such about a country." If I were the king of this country, I would surely build these small islands into countless peach blossom islands. By that time, you'll definitely like it here. Alas, reality and dreams are always at odds with each other. Still, I know you like this country. ”
Zhu Xianlong moved the map to Shangguan Ying's eyes, pointed to the Philippines in the ocean and said: "You see, the whole country is soaked in the seawater, romantic and interesting, right? In particular, there is a romantic seaside and a volcanic terrain with passionate jets. There is also a fantastic underwater world and many natural scenery. ”
Shangguan Ying said: "I know that the biggest charm of the Philippines is diversity, although some people say that it is the little New York of Asia, which refers to the capital Manila, but I don't think so, I like the country's undeveloped natural landscapes." ”
Shangguan Ying stretched out her finger and pointed to the map and said, "Look, my favorite place is here, there are isolated islands surrounded by sandy beaches and coral reefs, and you can enjoy the colorful nightlife of the city." In addition, we can visit the primitive tribes in the mountains, and we can follow the example of the locals and live a tribal life in the natural environment, and we can also be immersed in the natural landscapes such as sugar cane plantations, primeval jungles, and palm trees. Hehehe......... Sleep, right?"
Zhu Xianlong shook his head and said, "Sit down for a while and then sleep." ”
Shangguan Ying seemed to remember something again, she hurriedly picked up the map again and looked at it intently, and then, barefoot, she went down to the ground to get a pen and go back to bed to write down interesting places in circles on the map.
Shangguan Ying said while making a mark: "I want to go to Cebu, Bohol, Mindanao and Luzon to play." Here, I also want to see religious buildings, and I heard that 82 percent of this country is Catholic, and if you like any church, maybe we will choose to get married here as soon as we are excited? In addition, 9 percent is Christianity, is there any difference between Christianity and Catholicism? I don't know very clearly. Another 5 percent are Muslim and 3 percent are Buddhist. I admire Buddhism very much, and when the time comes, I have to burn incense and worship the Buddha!"
Zhu Xianlong kept nodding and said, "I know that your heart is here." Well, this time it's all up to you. ”
Zhu Xianlong took the map and said, "I'll go to Cebu and Bohol Island tomorrow." You see, Cebu is an island in the middle of the Visayas archipelago in the Philippines. It is said that the so-called 'Empress City' is located in the southern part of the island of Cebu City. ”
Zhu Xianlong stretched out his arm to hold Shangguan Ying and continued: "Let's take a look at the explanation, Cebu Island City is located between Bohol Island and Negros Island, 216 kilometers long from north to south, and only 41 kilometers wide from east to west, and its terrain is undulating. The island is surrounded by narrow coastal plains. If you look at the central part of the country, there are many mountains, mostly composed of limestone, shale and sandstone, which are surrounded by dense tropical forests and sometimes hit by typhoons. It seems that there are bad things about the island country, and my least favorite thing is a strong typhoon. ”
Zhu continued: "Look at Bohol Island, which is located in the middle of the Visayas Islands in the Philippines, with an area of 3,975 square kilometers. The island is hilly, also limestone in the middle, with alluvial plains to the north and south, and large swampy areas. Oops! It's easy to get out of the swampy area! Look at the description, there are dense mangrove forests and water coconuts growing here, and its northeast coast is full of coral reefs, this place must be fun, but it is difficult for boats to dock. ”
As he spoke, Zhu Xuanlong found that Shangguan Ying had fallen asleep. Zhu Xianlong threw the map on the carpet, he carried Shangguan Ying to the center of the bed and covered the quilt, and then he got into the quilt and hugged Shangguan Ying and soon fell asleep.
The next day, the two set off for Cebu City.
Speaking of Cebu in the Philippines, it actually has a nominal relationship with this country, as early as 1565, when the island of Cebu was ruled by the Spaniards, King Philip II of Spain liked such a distant archipelago country, so he was like a treasure, and named it "Philippines," which is the origin of the country's name.
Zhu Xianlong and Shangguan Ying hired an old yacht, but there were few new yachts here, and they had long been rented out. The yacht is run by a small company with two male pilots and one female narrator. The girl's narrator is called Hontalalan.
The yacht departed quickly. At the table under the umbrella in the center of the yacht deck sat Zhu Xianlong, Shangguan Ying and the girl narrator Hong Talalan. Everyone ate fruits and cakes on the table, drank coconut water, and chatted about the scenery along the way. Then we started talking about the history of the Philippines.
"In 1898, the Spanish-American War broke out, and on June 12 of the same year, the Philippines declared independence and established the Republic of the Philippines. After the defeat of Spain, the Treaty of Paris was signed, and the United States took over the Philippines and replaced it with American rule. Since then, our country has been reduced to the territory of the American Philippines, in fact, the rule of the Americans is even worse. ”
After Hontalalan sighed, she continued: "From 1942 to 1945, during World War II, it was occupied by the Japanese. After the Japanese occupation of the Philippines, a puppet regime was established, the Second Philippine Republic. ”
After taking a sip of coconut water, Hontalalan continued: "After the end of the Second World War, the Philippines became a colony of the United States again. It was not until July 4, 1946, when the United States was forced to agree to the independence of the Philippines, that the Philippines truly gained complete independence on this day. Since then, the Liberal Party and the National Party have taken turns in power. ”
Hontalalan took another sip of coconut water, and then she smiled: "History is engraved on more than 7,000 islands, hehe......! ”
Also, there are many islands in this country, which leaves people with a lot of room for imagination and makes people want to go around the islands.
The yacht continues to move on the sea, with countless islands and cities on the sea, such as San Jose, Brala Seaside, Semirara Islands, Roxas and many more. Zhu Xianlong and Shangguan Ying were overwhelmed, and after a few days of island travel, they finally arrived in Cebu. (To be continued......)
