Juliet Tower

The night before An Jiayu's departure, they watched the 3D movie "The Lion King" released last summer together through a video call. They felt that the taste was not right, so they revisited the classic old version of Disney.The man was so excited that he couldn't sleep, because of their meeting four weeks apart, for the first time they set foot on an unknown continent, and also because of their second trip together after many years.

Over the years, Qiao Yumian has traveled countless times from the flower farm to the airport, but there is never such a time in her heart that she looks forward to it.

The driver glanced at him frequently from the rearview mirror and joked, "You look very different today." The uncle is fluent in English, but still has the indelible prairie flavor, vague and thick.

"Really." In fact, many people have said this recently, including colleagues from China who came together, and flower farmers here who do not understand the language.

"Yes, you look very happy recently, they say you finally look like a young man."

Qiao Yumian subconsciously glanced at the rearview mirror, but didn't see any difference.

"It's not about your looks, your face has always been very young." The uncle smiled at him in the rearview mirror, took one hand off the steering wheel and patted his heart, "It's here. You always looked preoccupied in the past, Not like a child."

He is no longer a child, although at his age, he is indeed just a child in front of the other party.

Before he could answer anything, the car screeched to a stop in the middle of the road.

They stared at each other for a moment, the uncle stared at the dashboard and tried to restart the engine, but the car just shook on the spot, extremely shameless, and declared a strike.

It was nearly an hour late to arrive at the airport after finishing repairs. As soon as Qiao Yumian ran to the entrance of the lobby, he found An Jiayu was dragging a silver suitcase and being dragged away by several children. The piano case on the back was covered with a layer of dark blue Black waterproof oxford case.

Although it is not a tribe that drinks blood, the law and order here is still worrying.Some people hang out in the downtown area all the year round, watching people order dishes. Young tourists like An Jiayu, who are friendly and naturally less guarded against the elderly, weak, women and children, will definitely not be let go.

Those children who looked no more than four or five years old hurriedly pulled the artist to the sidewalk, and their mother secretly unfolded a piece of bright red cloth, selling some goods to the tourist who had just landed.I don't know what the children said, An Jiayu suddenly smiled and touched his bare head, and then a group of people burst into laughter.

The man squatted in front of the spread fabric unprepared, picked out a dark blue gem the size of a blueberry from among the colorful gems, and tried to communicate with the peddler with poor English, gesticulating.

Qiao Yumian ran all the way over and squatted beside him: "Wait a minute, what do you want to buy?" He lowered his head and glanced at the deep blue grain, which is a tanzanite abundant in East Africa. "" into the public eye.

An Jiayu was overjoyed to see him, and wanted to kiss him with her head, but Qiao Yumian raised her eyebrows gently, reminding him secretly.

Homosexuality is not legal in this wild continent, so the two abruptly changed to hugging and patting their backs like brothers and friends: "It didn't take long, there were a lot of people, and it was a bit slow to get out." He excitedly said to Qiao Yumian, "They You guys just spoke Chinese to me!" He turned his head and said to the children in Chinese, "Hello!"

The children all replied in a strange tone: "Hello! Welcome to Kenya!"

I don't know how long I practiced.Qiao Yumian was used to seeing these little tricks to make money from tourists, and although she was indifferent in her heart, she smiled and nodded at them, thinking that it was over.

An Jiayu grew up with a good life, was in the upper class, and came into contact with famous people, so he was easily moved by such primitive simplicity, no doubt he was there.He degenerated back into the purest happiness, raised the stone to the light, and asked Qiao Yumian: "Tanzanite, is it beautiful? She said that this piece must be beautiful after polishing, and she only charges me three hundred dollars!" He turned his head and asked The African mother with a baby on her back, "300USdollarsright?"

"Yes! Yes! 300!" The dark-skinned person had white teeth, grinned thick lips, and had an extremely simple smile. She gestured for a three with her hand, while turning her body hard to put the baby behind her to sleep.

That tanzanite looks pretty good, but the price is suspicious.

He is not a professional, so he can't tell whether it is a fake, or whether it is a substandard product dyed for shoddy use. After all, such scams are common all over Africa.

But Qiao Yumian didn't stop An Jiayu from taking out his wallet. That person didn't necessarily want a piece of tanzanite, but he had a kind heart to save the poor. Three hundred dollars in exchange for An Jiayu's good mood didn't seem like a bad loss.

Even if there is a risk of being taken advantage of, he can't bear to pour cold water on An Jiayu's good impression of Kenya. He hopes that this long-awaited journey will go smoothly, and no one can be [-]% sure about this dragger. The woman who came to sell the gems was a liar, just in case.

He took An Jiayu into the car, and the man was playing with a gemstone that was difficult to distinguish between real and fake, Qiao Yumian quietly made a shush gesture to the driver, please don't tell the truth.

They stayed in the flower farm for most of the day. Qiao Yumian took him to visit the rose field, and took him to the restaurant on the farm to eat fresh fried fish and scones. When the chef saw the raw face, he immediately warmly introduced that it was just early in the morning from Naivasha The tilapia caught in the lake is fresh and tender.

After lunch, they went back to the dormitory to pack up the prairie safari gear for the next week. The door just closed with a click. Before Qiao Yumian could let go of the handle of the suitcase, he was thrown on the door and kissed overwhelmingly.

"What should I do? I've checked. If homosexuals are found here, they will be arrested..." An Jiayu pressed against his forehead, with a smirk on his face, out of breath.He caressed Qiao Yumian's ear, and couldn't help but leaned forward and took a bite.

"Well, I will still be killed..." Qiao Yumian hugged his back and rubbed it vigorously, greedily inhaling the fragrance of apples from his neck.

"...There is time..." An Jiayu grabbed the zipper of his clothes before waiting for his reply.

"No, I'll pick us up in half an hour..." He hurriedly held that hand.

The man hesitated for a while, kissed him sideways, and whispered in his ear, "Didn't it mean that Africans generally have no sense of time..."

Qiao Yumian's earlobe went numb from his chin, he stabilized his shaking mind, and pressed down his hand: "It's a little bit. But the guide is used to dealing with foreigners, so he will be more punctual. It's too late..."

"Tsk." An Jiayu smacked her lips, and had no choice but to let it go, and sat down on the edge of his bed, her elbows propped on her knees, and she fanned her red face with both hands.

Qiao Yumian opened his suitcase, mainly dressed in blue, green, and khaki, and he also brought anti-bite bracelets and medicines. It seems that the owner of the luggage has done enough homework, and most of the equipment is two people. He doesn't even need to add anything.

An Jiayu silently took out her ponytail from the hole in her sky blue denim baseball cap, put on her huge sunglasses, turned around and looked out the window and asked, "Is that car here to pick us up!!"

Qiao Yumian got up and took a look, the driver and guide was jumping off the nine-seater off-road vehicle.

"Yes. I'm a Maasai. I usually work as a teacher in school and as a safari guide during holidays. I have almost 20 years of experience." He buckled the checked suitcase, "Let's go, let's chat. He will be there for the next week. stay with us."

"... Let's talk... how to talk, I only learned three sentences in Swahili..." An Jiayu put on a big sunglasses for him, "Hello is Jambo, thank you is asante, and hakunamatata ..."

Qiao Yumian nodded: "Just use these three sentences to talk, that's enough."

"Huh?" The man was skeptical.

As a result, An Jiayu just finished a sentence of Jambo, which was not very standard, and the other party replied him with a string of fluent English.

Ignoring the embarrassing and resentful eyes of the violinist, Qiao Yumian suppressed her laughter and threw the huge suitcase into the car.

Before dinner, they will rush to the tent hotel in the Masai Mara Game Reserve. Although they are tents, they only have a semi-open appearance similar to tents. In fact, they have all the internal facilities. Really change back to the original people, the hotel staff is well-trained, of course, the price is expensive.But safari itself is hard work, bumping on the off-road vehicle for more than seven or eight hours a day, chasing the traces of wild animals everywhere, An Jiayu also needs to ensure at least two hours of piano practice time every day, they need a car that can be close to nature and comfortable residence.

"Little Qiao..." An Jiayu whispered to him standing in front of the tent door with a wide view, "There are monkeys!!!"

Qiao Yumian leaned over, and there was a lonely little guy, stretching out a pair of nimble little paws, pulling the shrubs planted by the hotel, maybe looking for food, and it was only a dozen meters away from them.

An Jiayu flew back to the dining table to find the safari brochure presented by the hotel, and said in a low voice, "I found it! Chlorocebuspygerythrus, the green-bellied green monkey. Is he hungry?" ticked off.

Qiao Yumian shook his head, no matter if he is hungry or not, he is not allowed to feed wild animals at will here, not to mention that animals still retain primitive vigilance towards humans and will not approach them easily.

The leisurely monkey suddenly turned its head and noticed the human gaze.An Jiayu said with some regret: "It's over... I'm going to run away..."

Unexpectedly, the monkey took a few steps towards them tentatively and then stopped.

After confronting them for about 3 minutes, Qiao Yumian and An Jiayu looked at each other and signaled him to back off.

The monkey seemed to have finally concluded that there was no danger here, and boldly approached Qiao Yumian, raising his face to observe not far away from him.

"Damn...it must be the mother..." An Jiayu complained while taking pictures.

As soon as the monkey heard the sound of the shutter, it rushed out a few meters and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
