Chapter 1047 The Broad World

Today, the Donggang Fortress has long been abandoned, and modern garrisons no longer need such fortifications.After years of vicissitudes, it has been preserved and has become a relatively unpopular attraction.

The craters on the bunker were mottled, and even the largest fortress cannon in the world at that time became a must-see exhibition here.

Gao Xu stroked the bumpy marks on the wall, and climbed up the fortress along a narrow pedestrian staircase on the guide's belt.

There are indeed few tourists, and only a few other white people came up to visit.

Finally I saw the fortress cannon. The parts at the tail had already rusted into a ball, and the body of the cannon turned brown without any metallic luster.

But its posture remains the same.

The giant cannon barrel that was diagonally towards the sky seemed to be telling the power of the past.

Gao Xu seemed to see the thick smoke rising, the earth shaking, and the mountains shaking, as if he heard the roar of the Ming soldiers again, and countless people fought bloody battles in a foreign land thousands of miles away.

However, there is nothing good about this fortress ruins besides feelings.Everyone left here, Gao Xu asked again and found a cemetery of the Ming Dynasty's official army killed in battle nearby.Then he bought a few bouquets of flowers and went there.

Compared with the fortress ruins, this cemetery should be taken care of by someone.There were walls built around, and a stone tablet erected in front of the dense tombs was also cleaned, and some withered bouquets were placed in front of the monument.

Gao Xu walked forward and placed the flowers in front of the stone tablet. He looked at the stele with strange names engraved on it, all of which were Chinese characters.

He held the ancient military salute with his fists, bowed to the stone tablet and the cemetery, and said silently in his heart: Brothers, I'm here to see you.

Miaojin stopped Mona, and the retired Ming soldier Yang Kui did not come up to disturb her for the time being. The three of them were silently waiting for Gao Xu.

Gao Xu stood in front of the stone tablet for a long time and carefully read the name on it silently.

Many people should have died in the East Port Fortress defense battle. Most of the officers were carved on the stone tablet, and the words "Waiters" were replaced by the words "Waiters" below.

Then Gao Xu sang a few words to the cemetery, "Husband, go back, go back to your hometown...

In the past, when Gao Xu led his army to the Annan, he learned from the soldiers in the army.

The short song is singed in a simple and simple manner, without much sadness, only a sudden call, just as simple as calling the villagers to go back for a meal. However, as time goes by, it is a bit vicissitudes of singing now.

Everyone left the ruins of Donggang Fortress, and Yang Kui's attitude seemed to be a little different again, and he took the initiative to open the car door for Gao Xu.

... After visiting the Suez Canal and the East Port Fortress on site, Gao Xu and Miaojin discussed and planned to find a hotel to stay for two or three nights, rest and stroll for a while before returning home.

It's too hot here, and the two of them are not very interested in those ancient temples.

Mona suggested in the car: There are many foreigners in the coastal town southwest of Suez, including hotels, night markets and bars. I met a classmate from the same school there, who is a local.Or ask him to take you around.The environment here is better than that in the city of Cairo.

Gao Xu and Miao Jin did not answer for the time being, and Mona said frankly: His father runs a travel agency, so I can also talk to him and ask him to introduce me to some Ming tourists as tour guides.

I’ve come here, let’s see the local night market or something, it’s not bad?Gao Xu turned to Miao Jin and said.

Miao Jin nodded and agreed.

Everyone stayed in a hotel that looked good in the town. It seemed that the scale was not as large as the Mingzi hotel in Cairo, but it was also beautiful and complete, and even had a beach swimming pool and a horse farm.

Then Mona contacted her classmate, but the classmate had to be free in the evening.

It was still early, so a few people planned to go to the night market first.

It is called a night market and is also doing business during the day. In fact, it is a variety of street stalls, characterized by richness and full of life atmosphere.

The air is filled with the aroma of barbecue and the sweet aroma of flour products. There are not many people during the day, but they are also prosperous. There are all kinds of fruit sellers and various low-end small commodities.

There are also shops selling street stall clothes, traditional clothing and fabrics.

Gao Xu looked at the origin of those products curiously, and could hardly see any domestic products.Perhaps because Ming Dynasty's industry has long been at the top of the market, products with too low profits are produced by other countries.

Most people are still very enthusiastic and kind, and some stall owners also ask to take photos with Gao Xu and others.

However, there are still some people holding pigeons and asking tourists to touch them, and then they said they would charge.

Mona also reminded Gao Xu and Miaojin to pay attention to their mobile phone wallets, because there are pickpockets here.

After wandering for a while, Gao Xu found that Mona's expression was very strange. She smiled when she noticed Gao Xu's gaze.Gao Xu chatted casually: Did the tour guide come too many times and be a little annoyed?

Mona shook her head and said: There is also a market near my hometown, which is not as prosperous as this, but she liked it the most when she was a child.Until now, I also like to come to such places.She paused for a moment and finally said, I was thinking just now, how wonderful it would be if it weren't for worrying about work or just coming for leisure and fun.

Gao Xu savored what she said, and nodded and said: Indeed, when people go out for fun, they often only have a mood.

Mona seemed to think it made sense and turned to look at Gao Xu.

Gao Xu talked to her for a while, and took into account Miao Jin beside her.He turned to observe Miaojin and found that she was listening with interest and was not jealous. Then he felt relieved.

Miaojin should know Gao Xu very well.When he talked with some women, Miaojin could feel the bad thoughts such as appreciating the beauty and sexy woman.

So Gao Xu asked generously: Are you working in a hotel in Cairo?

Mona shook her head and smiled bitterly: I didn’t get a few customers. It was my luck to meet you. I met you by chance.I'm a student, you know, I haven't been in the hotel for long.When guests go to the front desk to ask for a tour guide service, the hotel usually introduces people to others and is familiar with the tour guides that are familiar with the hotel reception and managers.

Gao Xu nodded and said: I can understand.You just worried about work because there is a problem with the tuition fee for studying?

Mona said: I want to study in Ming Dynasty, then find a job in Ming Dynasty or a wealthy allies, and then send money home.As long as you have excellent grades, Mingguo School has scholarships, but the initial expenses such as air tickets, food and accommodation are also quite expensive, so you need to find a way for yourself.

Perhaps because Gao Xu and Miao Jin have been more gentle and friendly in recent days, Mona couldn't help but tell her a while.

She didn't want to stay in China to get married and have children, and then stay at home for the rest of her life, so she set her goal for studying abroad.

This path can not only achieve her personal life goals, but also help her family. After all, the income in China is too low. I think it will kill two birds with one stone.

Gao Xu gradually realized that this girl is different from an ordinary girl. Mona has more dreams and works harder to improve.

I know the world is vast.As long as you work hard, can you enter a wider and more beautiful world?Mona asked.

Gao Xu was silent. He somehow remembered the bullet crater of the Donggang Fortress. After a while, he said his heart truthfully: It’s not that he has no chance at all, but he will give more.

Before the evening was over, Mona's classmates arrived.

His name is very long, and Gao Xu can't remember it anyway, so he took an Amen to the name in the syllable.

Fortunately, there are too many people who call this name.

However, Aman is not necessarily a Muslim, because there are more than one religion in Yiji, and Gao Xu is not willing to ask such questions.

Ahmin has very white skin, fat, and is cleaner than most locals at the market, so their family background should be good.

He also wore a very thick gold necklace, a gold ring on his fingers, and a yellow gold watch on his wrist.

At first glance, it is not easy to tell whether it is true or not. After all, there are still some robbers and pickpockets here, and the jewelry is not safe.

When Gao Xu compared with Ahmeen, he seemed very simple.He wore a pair of sports shoes, gray canvas pants, a light gray half-sleeved pullover, sunglasses, and no accessories on his body.

But Aman is a very friendly and enthusiastic person, and at first he felt pretty good.He can speak a little Chinese, of course he cannot compare with Mona's professional language.

It was a while before supper time, but Amen quickly warmly greeted everyone to a restaurant to try local delicacies.

Mona said in Chinese: This classmate of mine knows great food, and the place he is looking for is definitely better than what I am looking for.He may have eaten all the delicious food nearby.She said with a smile.

Amin picked up his phone, opened his social account, and showed it to Gao Xu Miaojin.The space is full of photos of his life, and the most things are all kinds of food and reviews.

Everyone followed Ahmeng to a nearby restaurant.

It was mainly selected by Aman and ordered some special dishes.

Roasted lamb, roasted pigeons, a spring roll-like thing called Shawarma, a rice, powder, sauce, bean mixture called Kusali, and some desserts from Amaldin, and cold products that seem to be ice cream.

Very rich.Gao Xu tasted it and felt that the barbecue tasted pretty good.

When serving the ice cream, Gao Xu waved his hand and said: I'll serve after dinner.

No, no.But Ahmin shook his head.He then started speaking in the local dialect.

Mona translated: He specially ordered ice cream.This roasted lamb is sprinkled with minced chili peppers, and a few bites of meat, and then a sweet ice cream. It feels very unique.You try it, you must know how to enjoy it.

Gao Xu thought to himself: At worst, you can have diarrhea.

Seeing Aman's highly recommended way of eating, it was hard to refuse the kindness, Gao Xu said: I'll give it a try.But he reminded Miaojin not to try it, and explained that the girl was weak.

Ahmin first demonstrated, ate a few bites of meat, then ate ice cream, and ate with relish, nodded his hair and made a umshot, and gave Gao Xu a thumbs up.
