Chapter 279 Mrs. Silver Fern (the end of the month)(1/2)

Christchurch has a strong British culture atmosphere.

Along the way, he saw theaters, modern art galleries, wineries, etc., without exception, all of which were retro European buildings.

In addition, as Stitch said, this is an ice cream feast.

Due to the development of animal husbandry and cheese industries, ice cream shops can be seen everywhere on the streets of Christchurch.

There are many flavors of ice cream. Shao Zifeng even saw the energy ice cream used for pet animals, and of course the price is much more expensive.

"Yeah!" Qiuqiu put his little paws into his mouth, and he drooled at all kinds of ice cream.

His eyes glanced at Shao Zifeng from time to time, and he almost wrote the words "want to eat" on his face.

"Greedy Guy." Shao Zifeng poked Qiuqiu's belly.

"Yeah!"

Qiuqiu waved his little claws in protest.

Can this be called greed?

This is called tasting food!

A moment later, Shao Zifeng walked out of the ice cream store with Qiuqiu.

They shivered together while eating delicious ice cream.

Dangdang.

Retro trams shuttled between European-style buildings, and Shao Zifeng suddenly felt the illusion of returning to the 19th century.

After looking at the time, it was already past seven o'clock in the evening. Shao Zifeng was about to go back to the Xuelong after visiting the last attraction.

......

Located in the city center, Christchurch Cathedral is one of the icons and important buildings of Christchurch.

The cathedral adopts Gothic architectural style, with a towering and thin overall style. The main building is carved with complex decorative patterns, full of elegant charm.

There are 12 clocks installed on the spire, which are said to be able to play different melodies.

Unfortunately, the cathedral suffered multiple earthquakes during its construction year. Although it was repaired later, it could no longer be used.

As the saying goes...

A square without square dance is a soulless one.

And Christchurch Cathedral Square is the square of the soul.

In the square in front of the Cathedral of Christchurch, there are endless people walking at night, and the romantic light music of street artists presents a completely different entertainment atmosphere from Daxia.

There is a fountain under the steps in front of the cathedral, and a stone sculpture more than ten meters high stands in the center of the fountain.

The carving is a woman with a graceful figure in a veil. She wears a silver leaf crown and holds her hands on her chest to pray. The whole statue is elegant and luxurious.

The lighting under the base added a bit of holiness to her.

Shao Zifeng looked up at the statue without saying a word for a long time.

she.

It's really big!

"Young man, do you know what this is?"

Just as Shao Zifeng was observing the fishing box, an old voice rang behind him.

He turned around and saw an old man standing behind him in a slim-fitting dress, a half-high top hat, and a civilized stick in his hand.

The old man's beard on his upper lip was slightly raised and trimmed very neatly. There was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth and a fragrant fragrance on his body, which looked extremely decent.

Shao Zifeng looked at him with a vigilant face.

He dressed like this in a hot day, and even asked him, a foreigner.

No matter how you look at it, you think this guy is suspicious.

The old man froze when he saw Shao Zifeng's alert look and smiled: "I'm not a bad person."

Shao Zifeng didn't think it was hot.

Will bad people admit that they are bad people?

"cough!"

The old gentleman twisted his beard with his hands and thought about it and changed the question: "A young man is a Korean?"

Shao Zifeng hesitated for a moment, and a Chinese pronunciation word popped out from his mouth: "Daxia."

"Oh my God, it's actually from Daxia. I thought that a young oriental boy who looks as delicate as you would be only a Korean." The old man paused slightly with his civilized stick, his beard raised, as if he thought he had told a great joke.

Shao Zifeng grinned.

Sure enough, is Goryeo artificial faces world-famous?

After chatting for a few more words, most of them were the old man. Shao Zifeng also guessed the reason why he was looking for him from his tone.

show off!

All-round display of culture, art and living standards.

He seemed extremely proud of being a Christchurch man. He rarely met a foreigner today and had to vent his strength.

Shao Zifeng smiled and responded with a few words, and they chatted happily on the surface.

"I just saw you staring at the statue for a long time, could you know me?"

"No."

Seeing that Shao Zifeng didn't know the origin of the statue, the old man suddenly felt energetic: "This is the glory of our island of Zeland, the statue of Mrs. Silver Fern."

"Silver Fern...Madam." Shao Zifeng chewed this awkward word in his mouth.

Madam, he knew it.

But he had never learned silverfern.

"Yes, Silver Fern is our national flower, and Mrs. Silver Fern is the pride of everyone in our island of Zeland!"

Shao Zifeng gradually became interested: "Mrs. Silver Fern is not a human?"

The old man glared at Shao Zifeng: "Don't interrupt!"

He nodded quickly and shut his mouth honestly.

After all, he is a good young man who loves to learn new knowledge.

Next, through the old man's description, Shao Zifeng slowly learned that the so-called Silver Fern Lady actually originated from a local myth.

Legend has it that Mrs. Silver Fern originally lived in the endless sea, but later invited her ancestors from the island of Zeland to land.

The arrival of Mrs. Silver Fern brought them the dawn of civilization and guided the fishermen and hunters to go home.

Originally, the legends were nothing unusual. There were no more than 100 or 80 similar legends around the world, but later Mrs. Silver Fern really appeared.

There was a major earthquake nine years ago in the Island of Zeland, and the town magnitude was not large, but it was a catastrophe for these old buildings.

Seeing the historical buildings collapse, the residents of Zeland Island fell into despair. At this time, Mrs. Silver Fern appeared to save them.

Speaking of this, the old man stopped.

Shao Zifeng waited for a while to see him and kept silent: "What about it later?"

"It's gone." The old man replied naturally.

Shao Zifeng:???

That's it?

Then show off!

The old man looked at Shao Zifeng proudly: "How about it, is our Silver Fern Lady great?"

Ah this!

Shao Zifeng was a little confused.

The way you use the word is strange.

Finally, in the old man's expectant gaze, Shao Zifeng hesitated and said awkwardly: "Yes, she is great!"

The old man smiled happily after getting the answer he wanted: "Of course, she is the glory and pride of our island of Zeland."

After telling the story to the outsider, the old man left with his beard with a satisfied beard.

Shao Zifeng stood there quietly looking at Mrs. Yinfern.

Through the old man's story, we can see that the so-called Silver Fern Lady is very likely to be a mutated creature that evolved from the ancestral rebirth.

If this statue was carved in the shape of Mrs. Silver Fern, it would be...

It's enviable.

After visiting Christchurch, I learned new knowledge by the way.
