travel starts with photography

Chapter 238 Gaining Skills: Astronomer
This kind of situation played out back and forth on this narrow gangway, and there were many people who fell into the water, until the moment when the cabin door was opened.

Ford, who has always been very elegant, also shouted without image: "Where are our seats?"

"First class! The middle cabin!" shouted the man in front.

The language of their conversation is different, and they can barely identify their companions in the noisy voice.

The first-class seat does not allow people without a ticket to enter, but Chen Xing also used all his strength to walk through the small iron gate, and the space inside is spacious, and everyone is gasping for breath. It seemed as if he had just run a few hundred meters.

[The collision of courage and courage, the confrontation between self and self, does not contain any tricks, everything is so direct and unobstructed, just like the simplicity of animal instinct]

【Welcome to Africa】

[Congratulations on acquiring the skill: Astronomer]

Chen Xing was startled.

When the system sends a message, there will be a feeling of heat in front of the eyes, but it has not been prompted for a long time.

He originally thought that there would be a reminder when the plane just landed, but there was still no.How long have you been in Africa now?It's almost half a month, now is the time?

Chen Xing quickly realized that it was when the boat was squeezed just now.

Squeezing forward feels like athletes competing for the championship, as if they will get medals if they successfully board the boat. Chen Xing has never experienced that feeling.And the system likes to let Chen Xing experience the feeling of discovering surprises.

But... is this a surprise?
Chen Xing checked his system and found the astronomer in the skill column.

[Astronomer: You know 20% of the known planets in the world, and you are familiar with the planets in the Milky Way. Are you a qualified astronomer, or a star lover? 】

This skill...doesn't seem like it's easy to earn money?

Still making money, those who play astronomy are poorer than those who play photography.

However, there is no doubt that this can improve your night sky shooting skills, and you don’t need a mobile phone app when looking for the location of the Milky Way.

"No injuries?" asked an elderly photographer.

Chen Xing shook his head and looked at the place.

The cabin also looked shabby, but thankfully it was clean.As the first-class seats on the ferry, the seats are all plastic, which is naturally a bit of a loss, but it also makes Chen Xing feel more at ease.

The plastic ones are a little cleaner.

At this time, Chen Xing heard a voice coming from the door, and two people checking the first-class ticket did not let Ford and another colleague come in.

Chen Xing went over and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Our wallet was stolen..."

Chen Xing subconsciously touched his pocket, the bulging bag was still there.There were several times before when someone touched their hands, but Chen Xing quickly knocked their hands away.

He had never been on such a crowded vehicle, and he was in a rage, so he was using a lot of force.

Fortunately, there was nothing too valuable in their wallets, just some Sudanese pounds that had been exchanged, and the passports were all with the director.And because the first-class seat was stolen, the thief dared not come in with the ticket.

By the time the wharf verified Ford's identity and let them in, the boat was about to leave.

The sound engineer said: "I've never been so crowded before, what a joy!"

"..."

Everyone looked at him.

No one has such a crowded experience, only feel uncomfortable, not happy at all.

Have you awakened to some strange habit?

Chen Xing looked at the time at this moment. The boarding battle lasted for an entire hour. Looking out from the window of the first-class seat, the deck outside was already full of people, and there were still many people in the distant port who hadn't come up yet. .

Do they have tickets?
Or if the ship can come up, those who come up naturally have tickets, and those who don't have tickets, and those who fail to come up, even if they have tickets, they are probably treated as invalid tickets.

No wonder it needs to be squeezed up.

From going out in the morning to taking the car until now, he was seasick at first, and after experiencing this chaotic situation before recovering much, even Chen Xing felt very tired.

Fortunately, although the boat was a little broken, it didn't smell anything.

Chen Xing fell asleep quickly while sitting on the chair.

It has been several hours since I opened my eyes again, and the destination has not yet arrived, but it is not far away.

The Nile River here is very wide, and seven or eight large ships can be seen around it.

Chen Xing walked through two black men guarding the door and came to the platform outside the cabin.

Only here can stand a little bit, there is no empty space on the deck, countless luggage and people are like sardines in a can, even the toilet is full of people, let alone walking.

The sky is getting dark, the sun is about to set, the heat of the day has dissipated a little, the cool wind on the Nile River blows through the crowd on the deck, and the sunset hangs low on the horizon in the distance, red, and it is about to match the sunset on the water coincide.

The picture is beautiful.

Unfortunately, the camera is not with him.

Chen Xing's mood is very calm now, the impetuousness of the past week has disappeared in today's crowd, and the roar at others also relieved all the pressure on his body.

Maybe when you do your best, there will be such a kind of relaxation.

Just like many people like to play ball, run wildly, or find a place where no one is yelling when they are under great pressure.

Ford came from behind, patted Chen Xing on the shoulder, and said, "Isn't it beautiful? It's a pity that I didn't bring a camera."

"I feel distressed when I bring it with me. What if it breaks when I get on the boat? It's the same as using a mobile phone."

Chen Xing took out his mobile phone, and just about to turn on the professional mode, he saw Ford's sad face.

"Why... uh..."

The Ford mobile phone was also stolen.

Ford shook his head and said, "It's okay, you can get a new mobile phone when you go back, it's pretty good."

Chen Xing lowered the exposure a bit, facing the crowd at the stern and the setting sun.

Anyway, they are all black, so it must be very suitable for shooting silhouettes.

Click.

Chen Xing likes to click on the shutter sound of the mobile phone, so that it will give him a better feeling when taking pictures, but it still depends on personal habits. The shutter of the mobile phone only depends on how you set it, and it doesn't matter whether the sound is turned on or not.

"The sunset is so beautiful." Chen Xing said with a smile, and sent this photo to Moments by the way.

Now, even better photos are taken by his mobile phone, and he posts them on Moments.

He also has some fans in WeChat, and sometimes he will send photos of him in Moments to his fan group. Song Shulan is now the owner of two groups with 3000 people, and usually likes to post photos of Chen Xing in Moments .

Chen Xing even saw screenshots of chatting with her in other fan groups.

such as.

Chen Xing: Am I still handsome?
"On a ship, the way of boarding in Africa is really beyond my expectations. It feels like a combination of the subway in the morning rush hour in China and the train in India... But fortunately, I have a better skill and boarded the ship. (Picture)"

He is still writing about his travels in France, but if he wants to write about Africa in the future, he will definitely write down this matter completely and in great detail.

So impressed.

It is said that the system really understands Chen Xing. Every time when rewards are issued, those scenes are still fresh in Chen Xing's memory. With a little recollection, he can think of the details at that time.

For the travel system, it seems that you need to travel more and gain more knowledge.

the next day.

The dazzling sun and heat woke Chen Xing up from his sleep.

The boat seemed to be approaching shore.

Others woke up earlier than Chen Xing, and when Lyfebold saw Chen Xing woke up, he said, "You slept soundly."

"Of course, you don't get motion sickness, how could you know how uncomfortable our motion sickness is."

Another person who was suffering from motion sickness agreed, saying: "That is, I hope that I won't take a car after going ashore. Even if I do, I will get a slightly better one. It is really uncomfortable to sit in the cargo box of a truck."

Arrived at the port at eleven o'clock.

After finishing all the formalities, leaving the port is a street selling aquatic products, where Nobel is waiting for them.

He smiled, seeing everyone arrived, he instinctively wanted to hug the photographer, this kind of hug is very common in France.But as soon as he got the photographer's hand, Nobel's face changed - he smelled the photographer's stench.

In the high temperature above 35 degrees, they squeezed into the boat with a group of black people who didn't know what to do, and then stayed on the boat with 200 people for another night. The water is even more pungent.

The feeling is probably different, but the smell does have a little taste.

The photographer laughed and pulled Director Nobel into a hug.

He is a veteran in the TV station, 43 years old this year, and he is not worried about what the director will say about him.When no one made mistakes, Nobel was a very good-natured and refined person who could take jokes.

"What did you do?"

"What did we do? We didn't do anything, we just got on the boat once."

He said with a smile, then looked at Chen Xing and the others looking around, and asked, "We can't still pick up the truck, can we?"

"That's not enough."

Nobel pushed him away in disgust, and said: "Come with me, rest today, and then we are going to take pictures of Sudan's largest hospital and explore Sudan's medical system. I just came to pick you up from the hotel. I went to see it."

The guide wore a clean white shirt and combed the hairstyle that represents the upper class in Africa, and said, "Don't worry, the conditions here are much better than before. The hotel where two people share a room with a separate bathroom."

"Woohoo!" Leifbold jumped up happily.

The independent bathroom, does this not only improve the living experience a little for them?
That is simply a shotgun for a cannon.

A few people followed the guide, and he continued: "The place we are going to is the largest hospital in Sudan, the Sudan United Hospital. By the way, this hospital is jointly opened by you Chinese and the Sudanese government. There are many doctors from China in it. Nurses."

"real!"

Chen Xing said in surprise.

"I don't have to lie to you."

He immediately looked forward to the next shooting.

This trip was physically exhausting, and Nobel also gave them a day to rest. Everyone can go shopping in the capital of Sudan to relax, or sleep in the hotel all day, no one cares about them.

But now Chen Xing is full of energy.

During this period of time, Chen Xing was in the world built by unkempt men every day, and the only women he saw were all black, not to mention nurses, he had never even seen one who could speak Chinese.

Chen Xing decided not to rest, and went to check the situation immediately.

"Where is the hospital?"

Lefbold laughed twice, and said, "I want to go with you too, don't leave us alone."

"Don't worry, I'll take you to the hotel first."

When they got to the highway, Chen Xing and the others saw two vans.

It's not very pretty, but it's something that could be called a car anyway, ten times better than the truck they were riding in, at least they can sit in a chair this time instead of in a dirty truck bed .

The hotel they stayed in was on a street called 'Zhubamanku' in the capital of Sudan, also called Heping Street.But it seems that Heping Street is not very peaceful. Through the car window, Chen Xing saw someone walking viciously on this street with a knife.

The guide was in the same car with them, and said: "The law and order here is average, but it's not bad in Africa, and there are very few deaths."

Rarely...that is, occasionally.

It is normal in foreign countries. China is already one of the safest places in the world. From past experience, only some powerful countries can maintain superficial peace, and weak countries have always been unable to make any decisions.

When he arrived at the hotel, Chen Xing saw that there were iron bars on the windows of the room, and the bodyguards stood upright at the hotel entrance.

Entering the hotel, Nobel said:

"The seven rooms on the second floor, except for the two rooms near the stairs, are all yours, and your luggage has already been put up. Chen Xing, Ford, you are in the third room, Leifbold..."

He looked at the records on his phone and allocated rooms.

Chen Xing took the key and went upstairs with Ford, and Ford asked, "Do you want to take a shower? I really want to take a shower, but I always feel that my clothes and skin are sticking together."

"Let me go first, I have something to do later."

Ford was stunned for a moment, but quickly remembered what happened at the port before, and asked, "Are you going to the hospital?"

"Isn't that obvious?"

Ford wasn't married yet, so he became envious all of a sudden. He really wanted to meet some girls, but...he didn't seem to have the qualifications like Chen Xing.

"Don't play too late, you are the photographer named by Professor Nobel, and there will probably be tasks tomorrow."

"You think too much, I'll go and have a look."

It is estimated that young and beautiful girls will not come to Africa, but this kind of thing is hard to say.He mainly wanted to see their working environment in the next few days, and talk to the Huaxia people in the hospital, and have a few words.

In real life, many people will change their appearance after going abroad, especially in the United States, it is not uncommon for fellow villagers to cheat their fellow villagers.

But why does someone always get caught?

Because of loneliness.

It was okay when I was in France. Chen Xing knew French and was surrounded by young people, especially Hedwig. Her withdrawn personality always gave Chen Xing something to do. She studied hard at school and thought about how to change when she was at home. she.

In Africa, these are the only people who can chat.

After a long time, you will really understand a poem.

Alone in a foreign land as a stranger.
