Chapter 39 Ancient City

Kala Kala... Ke Kailuo dragged a large suitcase and walked on the stone road. After leaving the train station, in the sunset at 10 o'clock in the afternoon, she was looking for her target.It should be easy to find. I remember that it only took about [-] minutes to get there last time, she thought to herself.

Should I use the map on my phone to confirm the location a little bit?Carol hesitated.When she arrived at the airport in Pisa, Italy, she still turned on her mobile phone. After a series of text messages, the mobile phone was very quiet all the way here.Yesterday afternoon, like fleeing, she first spent the night in a hotel next to the Hong Kong airport, and then flew directly to Italy this morning. During this time, Carol avoided turning on her mobile phone.She didn't know what she was doing either.

On the train from Pisa International Airport to Florence in the afternoon, Carol looked out the window at the exotic towns and countryside.No matter what country, is the scenery next to the railway the same?Perhaps the feeling of the sun is not the same.She listened to the voice messages of Ai Ming and Rui Xin repeatedly, thinking about how to reply.The decision to come to Italy was actually only yesterday morning. The day before yesterday...drunk outside was too embarrassing. She couldn't let herself go on like this. Just a few customers asked about the high-end leather sofa, and I found it a while ago There are two well-known workshops in Florence, so I just come here to find out.

Obviously, he had already made up his mind early yesterday morning: only by driving himself out of the house can he break her entanglement with Rui Xin. Unexpectedly, Rui Xin came back suddenly. Forget, nothing can be done.When it was almost too late, she still wrote a letter to Rui Xin.

There are still many things that I haven't explained clearly to Rui Xin, Kai Luo thought to herself.The house has already been bought, and Rui Xin thinks it's okay to live in it forever, so she can rent her with the rent she wants to pay.Director Ge... If Rui Xin doesn't know, she should tell her, but she can't let her really fall in love with him!Thinking of the voice Rui Xin left for her, her soft voice, thinking of yesterday... Kai Luo closed her eyes, as if she could still relive Rui Xin's delicate body.

On the train, Carol still couldn't make up her mind what to say to her, and decided to go to Florence first,

"Let me see the cathedral," Carol said to herself.

After many carriages, cars, and suitcases, the stone road is really durable. Ke Kailuo, who is struggling to move forward with heavy loads on the uneven ground, does not know what to say about the roads in this ancient city.But at least among the three or four-story buildings, deliberately antique or really old buildings, she has already seen the big red dome of the Church of Santa Maria del Fiore.

"Il Duomo..." Finally standing at the main entrance of the majestic cathedral, Kailo looked up at the majestic Gothic marble building. The thick bronze gate was surrounded by layers of delicate reliefs.In the towering structure with a white base, pink and dark green marble are neatly embedded, which has become a feature of the Cathedral of Florence, the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Flowers.Especially from the front view, pink marble and cream-colored reliefs and stone statues combine to form a classical and elegant temperament. In Carol's view, this cathedral has a maternal beauty, and it gently welcomes the world every day .The Giotto bell tower on the side seems to be wearing the same suit, but its personality is gorgeous but bright.It is a comfortable and harmonious square, also adorned with pink and dark green marble, rising freely from the ground, with white, red, and green lines appropriately forming its unique appearance. Kailo looked up, In the setting sun, the tower built in the 14th century made her shocked by the permanence of art.

The visit to the cathedral was terminated at 04:30 in the afternoon, and the tourists in the square were dispersing.Ke Kailuo supported the luggage, took out a thermos to drink water, and took a breath. Knowing that the hotel was not far away, she just wanted to stop by and see this place she hadn't been in for a long time.

The first time I came to Italy was with Abby. They were college students and they spent a month in Europe. Italy is the place that fascinates her the most. There are so many authentic works of art and abundant sunshine that people and food in this country are very important. It was so straightforward and enthusiastic, which made her unforgettable.That time in the Duomo Square, after they met with Abby's Italian classmate here, he drove them around Tuscany, green fields, gently rolling hills, olive trees and wine gardens... very Great teenage memories.

The second time I came, it was the honeymoon with Zhai He. I was always worried that he might not be interested in these works of art. I saw a few important scenic spots like a superficial glance, and then went north to Milan.Kai Luo turned around and saw the octagonal baptistery, the golden gate of heaven was very shining, and Zhai He watched it in admiration for a long time.Carol remembered that she was still holding the book and carefully explaining the Bible story of each panel to him.

As she walked towards the restaurant, Caro recalled the interior of the cathedral. She remembered that in the dome was the Last Judgment painted by Michelangelo's disciple Vasari.The tiny and vivid figures in the murals surround the dome, shining brightly, as if they are fearing or admiring God.If Ruixin comes, he will study it carefully!And for the sake of viewing, she would definitely be willing to climb the exhausting stairs... Carol smiled at the thought.However, I came by myself... Carol frowned and sighed inwardly.

Finally, we arrived at the hotel converted from a historic site, only two alleys away from the cathedral.As if afraid that the guests would dislike its history, the hotel prefers modern decoration in the ancient structure with gong gates and vaults still visible.But unavoidably, the structure, compartments, and corridors of the historic site make the corridors and rooms of the hotel very complicated and easy to get lost.Carol concentrated on finding her shelter among the winding corridors and passages.

After putting down her luggage, the tired Kailo lay on the white sheets, dark thick flannelette curtains hung down from the high ceiling, at this moment, what should be church bells sounded outside the window.

Wow!Could it be the bells from Giotto's Campanile?Then am I not listening to the same bell as those masters in the Renaissance?

She pulled herself together and picked up her phone.After checking, it was already midnight in Taipei, so I had no choice but to call Ai Ming.

She sat up, and while waiting for Amin to answer the phone, she looked at the transparent acrylic abstract table lamp beside the bed. On the wall were modern paintings that she couldn't name, framed in simple metal frames. Medium; The floor is laid with simple wooden floors. This hotel really insists on using a modern style for the interior... Or, it does make people feel clean and comfortable.

"Carol" close friend, the voice came from far away,

"Abby, it's me."

"Damnit! Where are you?!" She could hear that she was anxious and angry.

"I'm in Florence on business."

"Italy? Firenze?" Both Amin and she had learned a little Italian at the time.

"Ah."

"You're so big on a business trip! Carol, I'm going to find you with Ruixin! I'm going to pull your ears, get you out, I... I'm going to tie you up!" Ai Ming scolded her loudly, she rarely So angry, Carol didn't know how to reply,

"...I'm so pissed off!" she said on the other end of the microphone.Carol seemed to still hear Lisa's voice, asking what happened to Aiming.

"Carol!" Ai Ming heard that she didn't answer, and called her,

"Yeah." Ke Kailuo lowered her head, no matter what, she still felt comforted to hear her friend's voice.

"Have you ever thought about Rui Xin's mood?"
