The Rhine River is very wide, the water is green and muddy, not as clear as expected, and there are many cruise ships and cargo ships in the river.
Circles of ripples spread out into circles on the water as the cruise ship slowly advanced. When the cruise ship moved away, the water surface became calm again.
Dong Qiangqiang leaned on the railing on the top floor of the double-decker cruise ship, holding his chin with one hand, staring at the strings of blisters that appeared and then broke one by one at the stern propeller, alone in a daze.
Who could have imagined what kind of undercurrents there would be under the calm water.
Just like his mood at the moment.
The melody of Guo Lanying's "A Big River" unknowingly sounded in his ears, and pictures of his childhood emerged in his mind.
At that time, he often bought champagne at the canteen in the courtyard, and a 300ml bottle cost 50 cents. Especially after a day of fun in the summer, the best thing is to sit on the sofa and enjoy a bottle of ice-cold champagne. At that time, its status was roughly equivalent to that of Coke today, and the Arctic Ocean had not yet become popular. But suddenly one day the champagne disappeared. Not only was it no longer sold in the courtyard, but it could not be found in the whole city of Beijing. Gradually, the champagne became a relic. Later, he began to drink beer like others, and later he could even drink liquor.
"Hey, what are you thinking about?" Someone shouted softly behind Dong Qiangqiang. He was awakened and turned around to find that it was a girl named Chen Qing in the group. Chen Qing had fair skin, spoke softly, and loved to laugh. She struck him as a cheerful and sunny girl.
"I didn't think about anything." Dong Qiangqiang straightened up, "Why don't you listen to the Chinese commentary? It's hard to come here, please listen more."
"I got tired of listening for a while, so I came here to chat with you." After Chen Qing finished speaking, he sat directly on the chair next to Dong Qiangqiang, his eyes drifting to the other group members on the bow, "The restaurant you took us to at noon was quite good, please order No matter how good your food is, they all praise you for your profound knowledge."
It was already late November. Tourists were sitting on the top of the cruise ship in twos and threes, basking in the sun and drinking drinks. They felt the cool breeze of the Rhine River and enjoyed the charming scenery on both sides of the Rhine River.
"Serve the people." Dong Qiangqiang looked outside the ship again.
"I didn't expect that a city as small as Cologne would have so many interesting places." Chen Qing blinked his big watery eyes and looked at Dong Qiangqiang's profile, "Hey, when we get off the boat, are there any other good places? Do you recommend it?”
Dong Qiangqiang’s original arrangement was to organize everyone to visit Beethoven’s former residence, Bonn University, Schumann’s former residence, Bonn Cathedral, Münster Cathedral, Black Rhine Village Twin Church, Federal German Historical Memorial Museum, Dragon Castle and take a boat trip on the Rhine River in the afternoon. But because I was thinking about calling Du Lan, I needed a long period of time without being disturbed. After thinking about it, he decided to move the boat ride to enjoy the Rhine River and the sunset, which was originally scheduled at the end, to the first activity in the afternoon.
As the longest river in Germany, the Rhine River flows through several important industrial areas in Germany and is responsible for a large amount of inland water transportation in Germany. It also shoulders important tasks such as irrigating farmland and vegetation. It is known as the mother river of Germany. It is the "River of Germany's Destiny" and its status is similar to that of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River in China.
The group members are all young, and most of them are girls. They are not very interested in old-fashioned things like former residences, churches, and museums. Besides, seeing the most famous Cologne Cathedral is basically equivalent to seeing everything, so they are very interested in rafting on the river. Thumbs up.
After being warned by Dong Qiangqiang in McDonald's, Wang Xiaogang seemed to be deflated. Although he was not angry when he saw Dong Qiangqiang still raising his nose and eyes, he was just a paper tiger and did not dare to say any harsh words.
"We bought a pass. With one ticket, you can choose different docks along the Rhine River to get on and off the boat as you like within one day." Dong Qiangqiang said while waving his hands to both sides of the river. "You can decide how long you want to stay on the shore, and you can go and see what you like. You can also enjoy castles from different eras and enjoy different varieties of wine. I hope you can have a different trip, instead of getting in the car to sleep, get off to take pictures, and leave no impression after returning home. "
It was late autumn at this time, and the colors of the leaves on both sides of the river were very different due to different tree species. On the same sunny side of the river bank, some leaves are still lush and vibrant green, some have turned into an intoxicating golden color, and some are as dark red as blood.
Next to the layers of woods, there are neat tofu terraces, and large areas of vineyards spread like purple carpets on the hillsides on both sides of the river. This colorful natural scenery is combined in a picture that makes you wonder. People feel that it is pleasing to the eye and relaxed.
And higher up, from time to time you can see the majestic German castle standing on the top of the mountain, like a beast, holding its breath and watching the ships passing by on the river. There are also some castles that are "only in this mountain, nowhere in the depths of the clouds". People can only glimpse their spiers or watchtowers from time to time through the gaps in the swaying leaves.
Where the woods end abruptly, there are small houses with colorful roofs. They stand on the shore at random heights like house models in a sandbox game. The balcony of each small house is filled with flowers. When the wind blows, the petals With gentle swing, you can smell the fragrance of flowers even on the boat.
The train coming from the direction of the Hohenzollern Bridge was loaded with goods and hurried past the small house. The docks on both sides of the river were crowded with people. There were even cruise ships carrying cars on the river. The row of prosperous scenes seemed to highlight The powerful vitality of this river of destiny.
Chen Qing admired the beautiful scenery without any intention of leaving M.
Looking at the high-spirited girls on the bow, taking pictures and laughing, Dong Qiangqiang could not relax. The agreed call time between him and Du Lan was 14:00, but Du Lan did not call as promised.
Dong Qiangqiang thought to himself, he shouldn't wait foolishly, he should call Hualing first to ask about the situation there.
"You take your time to enjoy it first, I'll contact you for dinner." Dong Qiangqiang shook his phone, stood up politely and walked to another corner.
Dong Qiangqiang knew that Valin went to Munich nominally to help Lao Bai take care of his worries, but the main purpose was to raise the baby. Moreover, Lao Zhang's company has just been established, and the office is still undergoing simple decoration, and the business has not started at all.
Hua Ling's voice still sounded as pleasant as before. Dong Qiangqiang guessed that she still didn't know what happened to Lao Bai.
"You can't contact Lao Bai?" Hualin said quickly, "He has led a group to Austria and Switzerland. Maybe he is in a ravine right now and his mobile phone has no signal. You can try again later. .”
