Impulse is the devil. Good men do not fight with women. Dong Qiangqiang kept repeating various famous sayings to himself, and finally did not escalate the quarrel further.
At that moment, he suddenly thought of a strange question: Did Zhou Zhihai experience something similar the day he and Brother Yun started fighting?
He stood there in a daze, but Brother Yun ignored him and strode towards home.
When she entered the building, Dong Qiangqiang frowned and returned home.
The street was quiet, with no people or cars passing by. A few minutes after the building door closed, a bald head slowly emerged from the shadow of the building opposite. It was Zhou Zhihai.
He had just admired the whole process of Dong Qiangqiang and Brother Yun's quarrel from a distance. He lit a cigarette for himself with satisfaction, looked up at the window of Brother Yun's house, sneered, shook his head, and walked away in three unsteady steps.
Early the next morning, Dong Qiangqiang got into the car very early. After waiting for less than ten minutes, he saw Brother Yun wearing a different outfit from yesterday and walking gracefully from the other side of the road.
Although Dong Qiangqiang felt unhappy, he still asked politely: "Morning."
Unexpectedly, Brother Yun didn't answer at all and sat directly in the back seat. After sitting down, he said nothing and put on his makeup in silence.
The car arrived at the hotel soon, and everyone headed straight to the Eagle's Nest.
The Eagle's Nest is located on the north side of King's Lake, and Dong Qiangqiang took the highway with ease.
In the car, Uncle Chen sat next to Brother Yun as usual. He patted the back of her hand and asked deliberately: "Xiao Du, tell me why the place we went to today is called the 'Eagle's Nest'?"
This question immediately aroused everyone's interest. Among the many chatter, the middle-aged man asked curiously: "Is it because there is an eagle's nest on the top of the mountain?"
Brother Yun calmly sat up straight, cleared his throat, and said in a straight tone: "I originally wanted to wait until we were at the bottom of the mountain to talk about it, but since you asked now, let me introduce you first."
After hearing what she said, the car suddenly became quiet. Dong Qiangqiang pricked up his ears and listened while driving.
"The German name of the Eagle's Nest is kehlsteinhaus, which literally means 'Kehlstein's House'. It has nothing to do with eagles." Brother Yun knows the skill of telling stories very well, and aroused the curiosity of all the audience in one sentence. .
"Then why is it called that name?" This time it was the old lady sitting at the back of the car who asked, "Why isn't it called that or something?"
"The name is related to its English name Eagle's. In 1937, Bormann, then Hitler's personal secretary, started building a villa on the top of the Obersalzburg Mountains in the Alps, intending to serve as a 50-year-old villa. A birthday present for Hitler. The altitude of the Obersalzburg Mountain is 1,834 meters. The villa is deep in the clouds on the top of the mountain. The location is extremely dangerous. Because the villa is also a military fortress, the construction requirements are very high. , but there were neither cable cars nor established roads at that time, and cars could not pass through many places even if there were roads. And the construction process required a variety of different materials, so in the end the Germans simply built the winding mountain road while building it. One side of the tunnel was transported from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain like ants moving little by little. This also resulted in the construction period taking a full 13 months, which was long and arduous. It was not until the end of 1938 that the villa was basically completed. You will understand when you see the winding mountain road in a moment, If evaluated from a technical perspective alone, the entire project fully demonstrated Germany's best construction technology at the time. But because it was located at the highest point of the mountain, it was an easier target during the war. After the Allied bombing, the villa was basically turned into a ruins . It is said that the American reporter who took pictures of the ruins was inspired by the eagle hovering over the ruins, gave it an English name, and then took a photo and published it in the newspaper. Since then, the name 'Eagle's Nest' has It gradually replaced its original name of 'Kelstein's House' and became known to the public."
A group of people in the car listened quietly to Brother Yun's introduction. Suddenly, Xiao Xia shouted loudly: "Look in front of you!"
Everyone followed the sound and saw that it was surrounded by mountains not far away. A winding mountain road appeared and disappeared on the mountainside like a green dragon. Several abrupt peaks towered into the clouds. The mountains were covered with snow, and the peaks were completely hidden. In the clouds.
"This is the Alps, right? It's so majestic." The old people sighed softly.
"Not far ahead is the entrance to the scenic road around the Obersalzburg Mountains. Everyone can enjoy the scenery in the mountains." Brother Yun added.
The winding mountain road is not very steep, and the road is wide enough. Dong Qiangqiang pumped gas all the way close to the foot of the mountain, and the car climbed quickly.
Pieces of white clouds like light smoke drifted outside the fence of the winding mountain road, and the scenery below the mountain appeared and disappeared faintly between the gaps in the white clouds. Dong Qiangqiang suddenly had the illusion that what he was driving was not a car, but a small boat moving forward bravely in the vast ocean.
He did not dare to be careless and carefully turned every corner and drove towards the mountainside.
Everyone looked out the car window. The low mountain peaks seemed to be very close at hand. White snow was piled on the surface of the mountains. Reflecting the sunlight, they looked extremely solemn and holy. The mountain wind was like a naughty child, blowing the mountains from time to time. The snow blew up, and the snow mist and clouds mixed together and fell from the mountains. They suddenly disappeared in mid-air.
Everyone expressed unanimous emotion, and the sound of taking pictures was endless.
In addition to the cars climbing the mountain, there are also a group of backpackers who are fully equipped and pedaling bicycles hard on the mountain road. They were old and young, and some of them greeted the people in the car in a friendly manner. Xinxin listened to the Sony Walkman with an indifferent expression, and only little Xia La waved hello to them cheerfully through the window.
After driving for another ten minutes, Dong Qiangqiang saw two signs on the side of the road: one said "This is still 6.5 kilometers away from the tunnel entrance" and the other said "Transfers are available at the parking lot ahead." At this moment, the mountain road that could have been driven calmly by two cars side by side suddenly narrowed and turned into a single lane.
When he reached the halfway point of the mountain, Dong Qiangqiang discovered that all foreign vehicles had to stop here and transfer to buses provided by the Germans to drive to the tunnel. In addition to parking fees, Dong Qiangqiang also had to pay for bus transportation. Only then did he realize that the Germans were not stupid at all. The so-called simplicity may be a domestic misunderstanding of Germans.
After a long and short journey, the bus stopped at the entrance of the tunnel not long after.
"The tunnel is one of the few buildings that has survived the Allied bombings and is still well-preserved. The walls you see now are the results of more than 60 years ago." Brother Yun walked at the forefront of the crowd and put his hand on the granite On the inner wall, a loud voice said.
"My dear, isn't this thing really renovated later?" Uncle Chen knocked the granite with his hand and exclaimed in surprise.
At the end of the more than 100-meter-long tunnel is the elevator that leads directly to the Eagle's Nest Base Camp. According to the staff who operate the elevator, the main structure of the elevator is made of brass, and the elevator can rise as high as 124 meters.
Since the elevator space was small and could not accommodate 10 people at a time, Dong Qiangqiang took the initiative to take the next elevator with Mr. Chen who was stopping and walking. When Xiaoxia saw that both his father and Dong Qiangqiang were staying, he also took the initiative to stay.
After listening to Dong Qiangqiang's introduction that the elevator had to climb 124 meters, Uncle Chen's face did not change color.
Dong Qiangqiang knew that altitude sickness usually only occurs when the altitude exceeds 2,700 meters, but Uncle Chen was old after all, and he did not dare to be rash. He quickly asked with concern: "The altitude here is high. If you feel that your breathing is not smooth, I will accompany you down immediately."
"No, I have no problem breathing, but my heartbeat is a little fast..." Uncle Chen explained tremblingly.
"If you have high blood pressure, you may also feel uncomfortable. You don't have to force it. Our safety comes first." Dong Qiangqiang is still very patient.
"I don't have high blood pressure." Uncle Chen glanced at the German driver of the elevator and whispered to Dong Qiangqiang, "I just have a fear of heights."
