Chapter 1096: Feel the Tranquility

In the Philippines, a country of thousands of islands, there are countless large and small islands, and they are also popular tourist destinations for Chinese people.

And because of the lazy god, there are many places in the Philippines, and the heat has become even higher.

The most familiar to the Chinese people is probably Boracay Island, which is several kilometers long and claims to be the most delicate white sand beach in the world.

Every day, there are many tourists here, tourists come and go in a hurry, feel the white sand beach, leave their own images in the camera, and then disappear.

Day after day, year after year, it's like a movie speeding up.

If someone stands on the white sandy beach and looks far into the distance, they may be able to see a particularly large island on the opposite side of the sea, which is Tubbs Island.

Compared with the hustle and bustle of Boracay, the commercial atmosphere of this island is much colder. Except for some tourist attractions on the beach, other places seem to be forgotten by the world quietly.

The land in the Philippines is privately owned, and most of the land is concentrated in the hands of big landowners. Most of the land on this island is also owned by several big landowners. The largest landowner on the island is the Kekirala family.

Faced with the hustle and bustle of tourism, the Kerkyrala family does not seem to be particularly enthusiastic, and still maintains the original style of the island.

However, as Boracay became more and more popular and the flow of people increased, some people gradually disliked the beautiful but crowded white sand beach of Boracay and began to play "island hopping", so some people cast their eyes on This little hot island.

In the early morning, a boat docked at the small pier on the beach, and a family of five got off the boat, two elderly people, two middle-aged people, and a half-old child.

The middle-aged man holds a camera in his hand and keeps taking pictures, taking in various beautiful scenery in his eyes.

In the small fishing village on the cliff near the sea, there are children in big underpants diving on the small cliff, little kids with bare bottoms, fishing boats setting sail or returning, and fishermen with dark skin.

The two old people walked leisurely behind, sighing as they walked: "Oh, it's better to travel abroad. Those scenic spots in China are crowded and chaotic, the schedule is still tight, and there are still many people."

Some people say that domestic travel is to get in the car to sleep, get out of the car to take pictures, and find a place to pee.

I looked at it hastily, came and went, took nothing away, only left a pile of garbage.

"That's right, let's go shopping on this island today, and see what other interesting islands are there tomorrow, and play it all at once!" The middle-aged man shifted the camera, clicked and clicked, and continued.

Suddenly, a person broke into his lens. It was a young man with fair complexion. He was not as dark-skinned as the local Tu people, with a slightly darker outline, but more like a Chinese.

It's just that his demeanor doesn't look like a Chinese.

In the Philippines, middle-aged people feel the difference between Filipinos and Chinese.

In the eyes of middle-aged people, most Filipinos are lazier, and their smiles are more silly. They seem to be silly and happy all day long. The dumb smiles on their faces.

Of course, there are still a small number of people, some are vicious and vicious, and this is already a very small number.

In fact, he thinks that the Philippines is also quite stupid, trying to participate in the game between the two superpowers of China and the United States. This is a hot potato that even Japan and South Korea are gradually unable to play, and they can't wait to throw it away. This "servant country" that has fallen since World War II and has no future?

A declining country is completely different from a rising country, and the spirit of the whole country is completely different.

Middle-aged people are above the middle class. They have been to many countries. Everywhere they go, they can see Chinese people. Even if they come out to play, they will be in a hurry, as if they are in a hurry.

But this person is different.

With a lazy smile on his face, he was holding a parasol, half lying on the beach, staring at the sea in front of him, and sliding his fingers unconsciously on the beach. There was a small bucket beside him, as if he was going to pick shells, Catch crabs, but there is nothing inside.

"Hi!" The middle-aged man stepped forward to say hello, intending to have a chat. He thought that this person might have a story.

The man turned his head and showed the same idiotic smile as the Filipinos: "Hi, good morning."

"Chinese!" The middle-aged man stared wide-eyed. This Chinese with a perfect accent is indeed a Chinese.

"Chinese, mainland." The young man still had a cheerful smirk on his face, "My name is Shang Fang."

"Xu Ning." The middle-aged man's name is very popular, "Little brother, you are also here to travel? No, are you immigrating to the Philippines?"

No matter what the tourists do, they will hurry on their way, just like them.

"Hahaha, what do you think?" Shang Fang suddenly became happy, "It seems that I have succeeded in pretending, and I am actually here to travel."

"Oh? Then is there anything interesting on this island?" Xu Ning hurried to learn.

"I don't know. I have been here for two or three days, and the journey has not exceeded one kilometer." Shang Fang was suddenly happy, and he pointed to the sea in front of him, "I feel like sitting on the beach and looking at the sea in front of me, It’s good to think about nothing, the unknown world is so beautiful, why rush to explore…”

Xu Ning sat down beside Shang Fang and felt it for a while, but he didn't feel any difference.

"Your mentality is too anxious, brother." Shang Fang grinned, "Isn't it just to change your mood when you go out for a trip? If you go to see it with a utilitarian mood, what's the point? Is the beautiful scenery beautiful? It mainly depends on the mood."

Yeah? Maybe there is some truth to it.

Xu Ning simply relaxed and imitated Shang Fang's posture, but before he felt anything, his half-child ran over: "Dad, Dad, let's go find some interesting places! Go see the scenic spots!"

Xu Ning spread his hands helplessly, turned around and asked Shang Fang, "Brother has been here for at least a few days, at least recommend some places worth visiting nearby."

"Since we're here, this is the place worth going..." Shang Fang pretended to be aggressive again, but seeing Xu Ning's expression, he was worried about being beaten, so he quickly waved: "Lepi, come here and give this gentleman Tell me what's interesting about this place."

Not far away, several dark-skinned children who were diving on a big rock ran over. The oldest one walked up to Xu Ning's side. "Nearby attractions include Mango Forest Farm, Yixiantian Small Waterfall, and the small church in the forest..."

After reciting, he blinked and looked at the middle-aged man in front of him: "Sir, we can be your guide for only 10 pesos..."

Shangfang tilted his head and explained: "Actually, there are no well-developed small scenic spots on this island, but it is very interesting. If you want to go, you can go for a walk. Give them 10 pesos and let them take you around for half a day. Happy If so, give them more."

Xu Ning took out 10 pesos, took his family, and followed the little guide. After about an hour, he finished visiting several small scenic spots nearby. As Shang Fang said, there is not much development, but it is very impressive. , whether it is a mango orchard like a green forest, or a small church like a fantasy movie, people stop for a while. Xu Ning even went to the Filipino village to see it. It is a bit dilapidated, as if it was decades ago It is a Chinese fishing village, but the people who come and go are very enthusiastic.

Back on the beach again, Xu Ning saw Shang Fang was still lying there, surrounded by four or five beautiful girls, they were chattering about something, and after a while, another little guide took them away.

"Brother, you are not here to be an intermediary!" Xu Ning sat next to Shang Fang again.

Shang Fang suddenly laughed: "Brother, you are the fourth person to say this today. It only costs 10 pesos for you to say it once, which is more than one yuan. How many clients do I have to introduce!"

Xu Ning thought about it, and couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.

"In fact, these are the children in the orchard. I see that they have nothing to do, so I help them earn some pocket money. For myself, I am here mainly to feel the peace."

Saying that, Shang Fang folded his palms together and said in a deep voice, "Feel—peace!"

In Shang Fang's imagination, if he wanted the Buddha's light to shine randomly at this moment, his teammates would be bathed in the Buddha's light and become invincible.

"It's to see beautiful women."

"Hahahaha...isn't this also a scenery?"

I don't know why, Xu Ning suddenly envied Shang Fang a little bit, he sighed and said: "You are coming out alone, you can play as you like, I can't, I'm dragging my family with me."

"No." Shang Fang suddenly pointed behind him, Xu Ning turned his head, and saw behind him, at some point, his parents chatted with a pair of old people who were about the same age. Carrying a bucket and smiling.

"Your parents?"

"Um."

Xu Ning took a closer look. Shang Fang's parents, like Shang Fang, had lazy smiles, like old grocery shopping ladies who met each other on any street corner, chatting so naturally.

After a while, the two sides became acquainted, and Shangfang's parents warmly invited the family to their home.

"To your house?" Xu Ning stared, "Aren't you here to travel?"

"Yes." Shang Fang laughed.

"Brother, you bought real estate here? A local tyrant." Xu Ning suddenly envied Shang Fang even more.

"But it's not..."

"Let's go first, Xiao Fang, you will bring your brother over later." Shang Fang's parents took the old couple away first, Xu Ning was a little worried, Shang Fang smiled and said: "Don't worry, I can't lose it. I am still afraid that your parents are Where are the bad guys?"

"Hahahaha..." Xu Ning also laughed, temporarily letting go of his guard.

His half-child, who was still on the beach, had gotten to know Lepi well, and was now diving too.

Xu Ning simply kicked off his shoes, and lay down on the beach like Shang Fang, clasped his hands together: "Feel the tranquility..."

He took a deep breath, letting the sea-breathing air fill his chest cavity, listening to the laughter of children not far away, feeling the heat of the beach, and gradually emptied everything, emptied, emptied...

It's really peaceful... (To be continued.)
