The two policemen were shocked when they saw this. After a few seconds, one of them rushed up to grab Lao Bai's mobile phone, while the other strong man pounced on Dong Qiangqiang.
The sun was high above our heads, and St. Peter's Square was packed with people and bustling with people. Neither Dong Qiangqiang nor Lao Bai expected that the other party would dare to grab the phone in public in broad daylight. Even though they were on guard, the phone was almost snatched away by the other party.
Seeing that the other party was attacking Lao Bai and Dong Qiangqiang, Lao Li, who had been watching the development of the situation intently, immediately waved his arms, pulled his neck and shouted in Mandarin with a strong accent: "Hitting someone! Someone is beating someone! Come quickly!" "
The purpose of his shouting was not only to attract the attention of Dong Qiangqiang's tour group, but also to alert other people in the square, such as the police and other tourists. It would be best if they could rush over to help.
His shouts did attract the attention of some people around him, but these people just stood there and stared blankly at the two sides of the conflict, and no one had any intention of reaching out to help.
Dong Qiangqiang used his hands and feet to knock the fake policeman to the ground in less than two seconds. When he turned his head again, Lao Bai had been pushed to the ground by the other party. He was holding on to the phone to prevent it from being taken away. For this reason, he had received many kicks on his body and legs.
"Uncle ****." Seeing Lao Bai being beaten, Dong Qiangqiang became anxious and took a step forward to catch another fake policeman. The man who pushed Lao Bai down saw Dong Qiangqiang rushing towards him like a fierce man, dropped Lao Bai and ran away. Dong Qiangqiang suddenly heard a rush of footsteps behind him. He turned around and saw that the fake policeman who had just been strong had climbed up from the ground and ran away. When he turned around again, the fake policeman who had pushed Lao Bai down had already disappear into the sunlight.
"Are you okay?" Dong Qiangqiang pulled up Lao Bai and asked with concern, "Are you injured anywhere?"
Lao Bai shook his head, helped Dong Qiangqiang bend down and dusted off the dirt on his body.
"It's really a good place here. You dare to rob like this in broad daylight, and the police don't care?" Dong Qiangqiang looked around angrily, looking for traces of the police.
"The Vatican's public security, border control, traffic diversion and general police are all responsible for its Swiss Guards and Vatican Gendarmerie." After dusting off the dirt on his trousers, Lao Bai clapped his hands and continued to dust off the shoe prints on his clothes, as if he was concerned about it. This situation has become commonplace. "The Swiss Guards are mainly responsible for protecting the pope and important figures. The number of gendarmes is not large. It is said that there are only more than 100 people in total. I estimate that there may be less than 30 gendarmes in the entire square now."
"Are we just going to let these grandsons do what they want?" Dong Qiangqiang saw a few people wearing berets and dark green windbreakers standing under a huge stone pillar in the distance, talking and laughing. It seemed to be the Vatican that Lao Bai mentioned. Gendarmerie, "This is what you get used to."
"Don't be angry, at least the other party didn't use a knife or a gun." Lao Bai patted his shoulder comfortingly, as if the person who just suffered a loss was Dong Qiangqiang, "Such things happen everywhere in Europe. It's inevitable when you go out. There's no point in getting angry. . You should quickly take everyone to the museum to line up. There are many good things there and you will have a long time to see them. Don’t delay your afternoon arrangements."
In the Vatican Museum, even Lao Bai, who knows astronomy, geography, and European history, could not explain all the mysteries. Everyone without exception rented an official interpreter.
Following the pace of tourists from all over the world, it didn't take long for everyone to arrive at the Vatican Museum's most treasured location - Raphael's room.
Raphael, a famous Italian painter, is known as the "Three Masters of the Post-Renaissance" together with Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo. He is especially good at oil paintings with religious content. He was praised by the Pope at the time for his grand style, exquisite composition and extraordinary meaning. Invited to paint murals for the Vatican Palace. Raphael lived up to expectations and created many classic works in the Vatican, among which the four murals in the Signature Hall of the Sistine Chapel became his masterpieces. He used four paintings to elaborate on his understanding of "theology", "philosophy", "law and morality" and "poetics" in human spiritual civilization. The most famous one is said to have left a strong mark in the history of Western art. .
Dong Qiangqiang, like most of the group members, did not understand art and could only watch the excitement. Lao Bai told him that the person at the bottom of the picture with his hands on his face and his eyes seemingly closed and looking at the floor was the one who said "You can't step twice." Heraclitus, the ancient Greek philosopher who entered the same river, and his appearance is based on Michelangelo, which can be regarded as Raphael's tribute to his predecessors.
After admiring the museum and various churches in a hazy way, Dong Qiangqiang and others stood on the terrace on the roof of the church and looked down at St. Peter's Square. Under the blue sky and white clouds, they saw the eye-catching Egyptian obelisk in the middle of the square and the huge Roman stone columns on both sides of the square. As well as the ant-sized tourists and believers scattered in the square, they all have a panoramic view, and as far as the eye can see is the majestic city of Rome. He couldn't help but sigh: If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, it would be unimaginable that there could be such a small country with such a rich history. Caesar's famous sayings couldn't help but come to his mind, and he couldn't help but say to himself: Now I can be regarded as someone who has been here and seen it.
On the way to the Roman Coliseum, Dong Qiangqiang saw from time to time a dozen people with dark skin, haggard faces, and shabby clothes gathering together to beat gongs and drums, as if they were celebrating something. Dong Qiangqiang was distracted for a moment, and an extremely fast small motorcycle came out of nowhere and drove almost close to the left side of Dong Qiangqiang's car. Within two seconds, it suddenly picked up speed and sped away from Dong Qiangqiang's car at lightning speed. roared out from the left. Dong Qiangqiang really didn't expect that the other party would drive so brutally. Seeing that the rear of the other party's car had already touched the left side of the driver's door and was about to collide while he was talking, Dong Qiangqiang quickly turned the steering wheel to the right with his quick eyes and hands, so that he did not get into trouble with the other party. He scratched, but almost hit other vehicles traveling normally on his right. When Dong Qiangqiang finally stabilized the car, the other party had already walked away, leaving him with a dirty gesture.
When he got off the bus, Lao Bai told him that passionate Italians were mostly romantic and casual when driving motorcycles. In other words, few of them followed the rules.
"You should have warned me earlier that they are so wild." As he spoke, Dong Qiangqiang found a brand new scratch next to his headlight. He thought it was a meeting gift given to him by the motorcycle just now. He couldn't help but feel irritated and frustrated, "Those who were beating gongs and drums just now What's going on?"
"I guess those people should be former refugees who have obtained legal status because of the amnesty recently issued by the Italian government. Many countries in Southern Europe have always had the tradition of amnesty. In addition to Italy, there are also countries such as Spain, Portugal, and Greece. The so-called amnesty usually means It was the country that made new revisions to the previous ones, and some people who were illegally living there without legal status were reborn and became new citizens of the country. For many people from poor and war-torn countries, coming to Europe It is tantamount to changing their fate against fate, so the refugees regard Italy as a paradise, and they come in an endless stream. Once the prisons cannot hold too many such people, they will change it every few years to make these people legal citizen."
Lao Bai's words reminded Dong Qiangqiang of Jin Yuan. Could it be that Jin Yuan was also working in Germany? He couldn't help but wonder.
It was almost noon, and there was a long queue outside the arena. Everyone had to move around freely outside the arena.
If the city of Rome is compared to a person, then the heart of this person must be the Colosseum. The Colosseum was built between AD 70-72 as a giant oval theater under the leadership of Emperor Vespasian of the Flavian dynasty. The amphitheater can accommodate about 50,000 spectators, and a huge retractable skylight will be used to shield the spectators from the sun when exposed to the sun. In 80 AD, Vespasian's son Titus built the Colosseum on the basis of the theater. The Colosseum was an independent stone and concrete structure, using a complex barrel vault and groin vault system. After its completion, 100 days of competitions were held, including fierce battles between gladiators and between gladiators and beasts. In addition, there were irregular free hunting activities on the site. In order to satisfy the increasing curiosity of slave owners and audiences, the Colosseum was renovated and eventually upgraded to a place that could simulate very large-scale naval battle scenes. During the Middle Ages, the Colosseum was used as a church and even as a quarry for more than 1,000 years. Conservation of the Colosseum began in the 19th century, with major and lengthy restoration projects carried out in the 1990s. Although the Coliseum is now in ruins, it remains one of the most famous ruins in the world, thanks to the modern Romans' perfect blend of old-world wonders and modern pleasures.
Lao Bai, Tong Lele and Dong Qiangqiang were guarding the front, middle and back of the tourist team. Dong Qiangqiang was admiring the outer buildings of the arena while listening to Lao Bai's explanation, when he heard someone asking Tong Lele for directions in a foreign language he did not understand. Before he and Tong Lele could react, Lao Bai had already rushed from the front of the team, waving away him with a look of disgust, while speaking a few words in Italian quickly. The other party was bored and wanted to say something else. Lao Bai turned around and ordered everyone: "Everyone, remember, don't pay attention to foreigners who ask you for directions. These are all liars. Don't talk to each other." No eye or body contact."
Seeing that everyone turned a blind eye, the person who asked for directions could only walk away in despair.
"How do you know he is a liar?" Tong Lele asked Lao Bai, "What if he is also a new foreign tourist?"
"Then he should ask an Italian for directions," Lao Bai asked angrily, "Would you ask a foreigner for directions in Beijing?"
