Chapter 392 Have You Heard an Icelandic Legend?
Chapter 392 Have You Heard an Icelandic Legend?
Hallgrímskirkja Cathedral
This has become Ye Kai's study room, and it's not far from home anyway. He just wakes up in the morning and doesn't want to run around in Iceland, so he will read a book here for a while.
Originally, Ye Kai planned to find a tour group to accompany the group in the past few days to see the black sand beach, diamond beach and other famous scenic spots in Iceland.
But the time to get up every day is always too late to catch up with the tour groups who get up early.
The most important thing is...Ye Kai was very Buddhist when he woke up in the morning. He thought that the tour group would leave as soon as it left, and I would go another day. He didn't take this matter to heart at all.
After washing up, I started to regret it. The whole Reykjavik was almost finished shopping. Wouldn’t it be a waste of a day to stay here?
In the end, I simply ignored everything, and brought the book to the prayer room of the church, and read it quietly.
No matter when, the door of the church is always open, there is no need to buy a ticket, and there is no limit to the time of stay.
People were talking in low voices, and even Ye Kai couldn't hear their voices clearly, but occasionally tourists would take pictures with their cameras, and the clicking sound would always make many people turn their heads.
At this time, the people who took the photo would turn red and walk out of the prayer room in embarrassment.
In fact, this is quite interesting...Ye Kai saw another person leaving the prayer room as if fleeing, with a smile on his face... Stretching his waist, he looked around.
There are quite a few Reykjavik residents who come here to read books. Ye Kai looked around and saw at least ten people reading books quietly.
Ye Kai focused his attention on a girl.
It's not that this girl is very good-looking, on the contrary, she looks like she is in her 30s, with dull hair, which looks like she hasn't washed it for a long time.
Even so, her temperament is still very mature, Xianjing, with a magical power that cannot be ignored, is holding a book and reading it carefully.
It was Harry Potter written by Ye Kai, and the second "The Disappearing Chamber" was released simultaneously globally in early September
Ye Kai didn't intend to disturb her right away.
It wasn't until she finished reading a paragraph, straightened her back and started to relax, that Ye Kai stepped forward to strike up a conversation, but she didn't know what to say, so she had to use the book as an excuse.
"I heard that the author of this book is a Chinese. What do you think of this "Harry Potter" written by him?"
She nodded, smiled shyly, and said shyly: "Very well, I can't believe this book was written by a Chinese... I didn't mean to target China, you know, Asians are originally I don’t often write novels like this.”
"Don't be nervous, I know."
Asian novels are all in their own circle, but on second thought, why are European and American novels not in another circle?The appearance of this book is equivalent to Ye Kai stepping into the world of European and American novels.
It also entered the eyes of all writers in the world one step at a time.
"That's good." She breathed a sigh of relief, afraid that Ye Kai would misunderstand, "You should be from Huaxia, what is Xiao Enye like in your country?"
"..."
He is handsome and charming, he can write songs, sing and play the piano, he can cook, surf and box...
Ye Kai definitely didn't dare to say these words by himself, he is also a person who wants to save face after all, so he took out his mobile phone, found the introduction about himself, translated the whole page, and handed it to the woman.
Ye Kai even forgot why he came to strike up a conversation with this woman.
It seems to be a kind of unconditional trust and warmth between people, this kind of warmth makes Ye Kai more willing to believe that everything in the world is beautiful.
There is a kind... I think you should be very interesting, so I want to make friends with you. It is the purest joy that belongs to children.
When she saw Ye Kai's experience in China, Ye Kai asked: "Are you from Iceland?"
"No, I'm British. I've been writing in Reykjavik for the past two years. I'm a writer." She returned the phone to Ye Kai, "Thank you, it turns out that Sean Ye is so amazing, he is a well-deserved international great writer."
Ye laughed and reminded: "And you're still so young!"
Hearing Ye Kai's words, she also laughed: "Yes, and he is still so young."
Knowing that she is a writer, the topic gradually opened up. Ye Kai asked: "Why did you live in Iceland for so long? Is it because the environment in Iceland is very suitable for writing?"
"Well, that's just one of the reasons," she said.
"Have you noticed? Every day in Iceland is different. Every day you wake up, you have a different experience. There is a saying in Iceland, 'When you come to Iceland, when you leave, no one will be the original self' I like it very much This sentence, and I also found that now I am slowly making some changes, moving in a good direction."
Uh... isn't this the description of China's Tibet?If no one tells Ye Kai that this is a common saying in Iceland, then it is still applicable in snowy areas.
But the snow area is also very different from Iceland. The same may be their protection and respect for nature.
Ye Kai nodded in agreement with what the female writer said: "Yes, and I think this change must be very helpful to your writing."
"You're right," she said with a smile.
Strange to say, she who is a little socially phobic would actually chat with a stranger, and she chatted so congenially and happily, as if the person sitting in front of her was her younger brother.
She looked at Ye Kai who was sitting next to her, his eyes were deep, bright and peaceful.
"Have you ever heard an Icelandic legend?" she asked.
"I want to hear it." Ye Kai said immediately.
Usually, when someone asks this question, you just say that you want to hear it and let it go, because it's a bit strange to say that you have heard it or not... You can't know what story she wants to tell in advance.
"The eyes don't lie, the eyes are the soul of a person. When people die, the spirit that lives in the heart will come out of the eyes. Therefore, a long time ago, a giant died, and his blood turned into the sea. His head became the sky, his hands the mountains, and the spirit within him ran out and became Iceland."
Seeing Ye Kai's eyes, she suddenly thought of this story.
Ye Kai likes the story she told very much, and he also knows another version... The Huaxia version of the giantization of everything is more detailed than the Icelandic legend.
It's been a long time since I communicated with people, and the stranger I met by chance in the church actually let me say something that I couldn't say in a year, which made the female writer feel the magic of the world.
She chatted with Ye Kai about her new book for a long time, and Ye Kai also borrowed her book to spread her ideas, and she liked many of the settings she mentioned.
After a long time, she had to go home and left contact information with each other. The two said goodbye at the door of the church, and the female writer gave Ye Kai a warm hug.
When she turned to leave, Ye Kai stopped her and said, "My English name is Shawn, and I wrote Harry Potter."
"I guessed it." She turned her head and said with a smile, and introduced herself again by the way, "My name is Stephanie Meyer..."
