Chapter 156



The Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia and Basilica Cistern are three connected attractions that can be reached on foot... If you have longer legs, you can visit all three attractions in one day.

As its name suggests, Hagia Sophia was originally a Christian church. However, after the end of the Byzantine Empire, due to the country's religious beliefs, it gradually became a cathedral used by both Christians and Muslims.

This is also one of the classics that cannot be missed when visiting Istanbul, Turkey. For Chu Li and Gu Baizhi, it is of course a must-go.

However, they forgot that there were two otakus with long legs but who didn't like sports on their itinerary. As a result, when they were halfway through the tour of Hagia Sophia, when Chu Li and Gu Baizhi were marveling at the exquisite workmanship of the colorful dome and how shocking it was, the dome behind them, where the Virgin Mary was holding Jesus, began to shine with light, illuminating the two silent men behind them.

Jiang Yucheng raised his head and looked at the Virgin Mary pattern on the dome: "I have something very unrighteous to say, but I don't know whether I should say it or not."

Zhuo Chuan glanced at him and said, "Oh my God, I can't believe that we are still soul-to-soul compatible in this life, and I actually know what you want to say."

Jiang Yucheng: "What I want to say is that at this moment I am a little envious of Jesus."

Zhuo Chuan: "I'm so jealous that he has someone holding him, while I have to stand here on my own two legs."

After Zhaochuan finished speaking, the two of them were immersed in the disgusting atmosphere of "telepathy" and looked at each other silently.

Gu Baizhi rolled her eyes and twisted her head;

Chu Li chose to jump up and hit Zhu Chuan on the head.

Finally, I had to hold Chuchuan's hand and coax him to continue walking down like a baby. I didn't dare to look into every independent small room. I could only go straight to the famous Weeping Pillar (Weeping Pillar). There were many people around the Weeping Pillar. Everyone put their thumbs into the hole and turned their hands in a circle. It is said that this can pray for peace and happiness.

Chu Li put her thumb in, muttering: "Mom and Dad are safe and healthy, Teacher Gu Xuan and Mrs. Zhu are safe and healthy, Zhu Chuan loves sports, can shut his mouth, stretch his legs, and persevere to finish the next underground water palace."

While Chu Li was muttering, Zhuo Chuan was standing behind her with his hands in his sweatshirt pockets, sneering, looking quite annoying... When it was his turn, he put his thumb in it, glanced at Chu Li's belly, and then looked away.

Chu Li covered her stomach with her hands and said, "Don't look at it, there's nothing inside."

"I pray to it that you will be more punctual every month for your relatives to visit you. Isn't that great?" Zhuochuan said lazily.

Chu Li: "..."

After visiting Hagia Sophia, a lot of colorful domes were saved in the phone. While Zhuchuan and Jiang Yucheng were discussing "how many more words I can write in this time and how many readers will cry out "Long live the great master" and pray for my health and safety", the four of them went to the Basilica Cistern.

Chu Li and Gu Baizhi talked a little while queuing to buy tickets. If it weren't for the man's poor photography skills, they couldn't live without each other and they really didn't want to meet again after today - mainly because they didn't want to listen to two lazy guys with long legs singing crosstalk and talking about sex in the back.

The underground water palace is also known as the Medusa Palace. The entire palace is located underground. It is like a maze with dim light. If you lie down on the side of the aisle and look down, you can see that the lower half of the water palace is immersed in underground water. On the bluestone bricks, there are huge fish swimming around...

Chu Li leaned on the railing with his feet on his chest, staring intently.

There are tourists coming and going all around.

Fearing that his wife would be squeezed and fall, Zhuo Chuan had to follow closely behind her and watch. When she leaned over the railing to watch the fish, he almost subconsciously reached out his hand, grabbed her waist, and fixed her in his arms, using his back to shield people who might bump into him... Seeing that Chu Li was so happy, he also stretched his head to take a look: "What's so good about it?"

"Last night you said you were going to throw me down to feed the fish," Chu Li said, "Now I want to talk to these fish about whether they want to eat me, the writer. I happen to have a large fish that I may not be able to take back home, so I can give them a snack."

Zhuchuan: “…”

Zhuochuan: "Walk back later?"

Chu Li: "The hotel is not far away."

Chu Chuan: "But I have money to take a taxi."

Chu Li: "But the hotel is not far away."

Zhuo Chuan dragged Chu Li away from the railing: "I have money."

Following the walkway to the depths of the underground palace, under the largest load-bearing column there was an upside-down carving of Medusa's head, and next to the column there were silver coins from various countries with various patterns printed on them shining in gold and silver... When Gu Baizhi joked to Jiang Yucheng, "Look, everyone in the world knows that throwing money at my head can make money," Chu Li caught a glimpse of a silver arc passing by him, and then fell into the water with a "gulp".

One dollar, RMB coin.

Chu Li squeezed his head and looked at Zhuchuan. He saw the man clasped his hands together and closed his eyes, praying devoutly for something... He was touched that this guy was finally willing to integrate into the tourist attraction. He grabbed his arm and stood on tiptoe to listen closer. Only then did he hear what he was mumbling was -

"I'm going to take a taxi back to the hotel later. I'm going to take a taxi back to the hotel later..."

Chu Li: "..."

Then we finished visiting the three attractions.

Perhaps it was because Chu Chuan's last wave of wishes was so pious that it angered the gods. In any case, in the summary below, Chu Li felt that he had reached the real climax of the entire journey today -

And any bloody storm always starts with the protagonist setting off on the journey in a dull and ordinary way. So when Chu Li and the others returned to the Blue Mosque and climbed into the taxi, they didn't feel anything was wrong.

Even when the road was only a few steps away, the driver charged more than 120 lira (equivalent to RMB 250). Chu Li sat in the passenger seat and watched his meter ticking happily. He was still very open-minded in his heart: if you go out for fun, it's not unacceptable to be ripped off.

What she didn't expect was that this was not the end.

When the taxi arrived at the hotel and she got out of the car to pay, she counted out 150 liras and handed them to the driver. She was waiting for the driver to give her the change, but unexpectedly the driver suddenly took out a 20 lira bill and told her that she had only given one 20 and one 50, and now she was still short of 50 yuan.

Chu Li blinked, and her first reaction was what the hell?!

Each banknote has a different denomination and color, and she couldn't be so stupid that she couldn't tell the difference between a twenty-yuan note and a hundred-yuan note. The only possibility was that the driver changed the money - the problem was that although she didn't pay attention, the moment the driver took the money he told her that he had taken the wrong one. If this guy changed money, then this driver must be a magician of light and shadow.

"Did you get the wrong one?" Zhuo Chuan got out of the car, opened the passenger door, leaned against the door and asked, "Can you talk to him clearly? He can't understand English, so just give him another fifty and forget it."

Chu Li struggled for a while, took out another fifty yuan without complaint, and got off the car.

I sat on the bed in the hotel and counted money for a long time at night. I counted on my fingers like a money-obsessed person how much I had spent that day. The more I counted, the more I felt that the driver must have cheated me of my money today. I suddenly felt very depressed.

Until Chuan came out of the shower.

While drying her hair, I watched her counting money on her fingers.

Finally, I couldn't bear it anymore and turned back to the living room.

Chu Li took the time to look up at him, not knowing what had happened to him until the man sprinted back from the living room, threw a large stack of Turkish renminbi of various denominations onto the bed, and then used both hands to quickly count the money with Chu Li, and the money became a mess.

Chu Li was stunned and screamed, "Ahhhhhhhhh!!!!!! Chu Chuan!!!!!!"

Zhuchuan had a towel wrapped around his head like an Indian, with his hands on his waist and a domineering look on his face: "What's the use of it? I'm being ripped off, so I'm being ripped off. Go to sleep!"

First Li: “……………………”

As he had an appointment to meet Mr. Herman the next day, Chu Li was extremely reluctant but still packed his wallet and went to sleep holding the small change, mumbling to himself.

However, the unhappiness in my heart did not subside after a night's sleep.

The next day, when he got up in the morning, Chu Li made another great promise - to go to the Blue Mosque again and take a taxi to Mr. Herman's house, but she still didn't believe it!

"Why do you have to fight this?"

"Because no one can cheat me out of money! No one!"

"...Banana, you're going to get into trouble with this kind of personality."

"I don't care!"

Seeing that she looked possessed, Zhuochuan did not stop her and followed her lazily all the way to the Blue Mosque and got into a taxi. This time, the driver had one hand bandaged in plaster, which made him feel particularly safe.

The driver was surprised and happy to know that Chu Chuan knew a little Turkish. He chatted with Chu Chuan in English and Turkish all the way. Chu Li, who was sitting next to him, was thinking about -

If a hand is broken, you can't exchange it for money, right?

Damn, I want to record the moment I hand over the money this time!

Damn, the meter is still ticking so fast... Brother, don't you feel guilty about cheating my man while you're chatting with him?

Chu Li: "What did you talk to him about?"

Zhuo Chuan: “He said Chinese people have money.”

Chu Li: "Who are you calling a fool? Come quickly with so much money?"

Zhuochuan: "...You won't be happy if you live a life full of fear."

Chu Li: "..."

Just like that, while Chu Li was on edge, the meter happily reached over three hundred. Finally, the car stopped near Mr. Herman's home. Chu Li's heart began to beat faster.

I opened my wallet and carefully counted out three hundred and fifty dollars and gave it to the driver.

The driver took the money with one hand, unfolded it, and before Chu Li could say anything, he picked up a twenty-dollar bill and said in English, "Miss, you gave me the wrong amount."

He spat out English words one by one along the way.

This is the best sentence.

First Li: “………………………………………………”

Zhuochuan came over and asked: "Did you see it clearly this time?"

Chu Li: "He is a disabled person, how can he do it so quickly? When did he..."

Chu Li: “…No.”

Zhao Chuan sighed, and suddenly felt that his behavior of agreeing with her in the morning to try the taxi under the Blue Mosque again was extremely stupid... After being with a fool for a long time, your IQ is pulled down to the same level, and then you are defeated by his rich stupid experience.
