Entertaining Children

  Chapter 656 Private Tour Guide

  Walking around in a nearby town, Xiao Yao successfully found a local house with a sign of a homestay.

  Aba Prefecture is called the Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture. It is an area where the Han, Tibetan, Qiang, Yi, Miao, Hui, Mongolian, and Tujia nationalities and other ethnic cultures converge. Among them, the ethnic minorities are mainly Tibetan and Qiang. The town where Xiao Yao is located is a multi-ethnic group dominated by Qiang people. The local family that I found with a homestay sign is a Qiang family.

Although    is a Qiang native, this kind of homestay business relying on famous scenic spots is naturally impossible to speak Chinese, and there is definitely no problem in communication. The owner of the house is a middle-aged woman in her fifties. Seeing Xiao Yao come in and ask about the accommodation, she immediately greeted her with enthusiasm.

The accommodation cost of more than one hundred a night is not too expensive. Xiao Yao looked at the vicissitudes of people’s vicissitudes and the plateau-red face, and he was not ashamed to bargain and shop around, so he immediately decided to move in and experience the opportunity. The characteristic folk house of the Qiang nationality.

  The town is not very prosperous, and you can’t see anything with ethnic characteristics at night. After finding a restaurant in the town for dinner and buying a bunch of things that he needed to enter the mountain tomorrow, Xiao Yao went back to his room to rest in the hotel early.

  At around nine o'clock in the evening, Xiao Yao, who was sitting on the bed tidying up his equipment, unexpectedly heard a knock on the door.

   "Mr. Xiao, are you there?" A woman's voice came from outside the door accompanied by a knock on the door.

  The Chinese spoken by this voice is very standard, and it can be seen from the voice that it is a young woman, certainly not the lady proprietress of the hotel.

  "Does this kind of homestay also have that kind of special service? Or is it sold directly?" Xiao Yao's previous experience of staying in a hotel suddenly flashed in his mind. After hesitating for a while, he finally walked to the door and opened the door.

  Another advantage of staying in a homestay is that you don’t need to show your ID, you just need to take a pen and fill in the identity information on the registration book of the proprietress. When Xiao Yao checked in, he didn't fill in Xiao Yao, but wrote the name "Xiao Zhixing". The ID number was true. People at the door knew that his surname Xiao could only be known from the boss’s wife, and he obviously came after knowing and agreeing to the boss’s wife. Xiao Yao felt that from the performance of the boss's wife, she did not seem to be a business person.

"Who are you? What can you do with me?" After Xiao Yao opened the door, he found a young girl of medium build standing in front of the door. She looked pretty, but she was dressed relatively ordinary, not in that **** and attractive costume. , There is no makeup on his face, he doesn't look like the kind of person who provides special services, so Xiao Yao's tone is also very polite.

  "Hello Mr. Xiao, I heard Aunt Erma say that you are staying alone. Are you traveling alone in Huanglong?" the girl asked.

   "This girl really met the boss's wife." Xiao Yao secretly said in his heart. The "Erma" aunt in the girl's mouth is the proprietress of this hotel.

   "What do you mean?" Xiao Yao didn't answer directly, but looked at the girl suspiciously.

  "If you are visiting Huanglong, I would like to ask if you need a local guide?" the girl continued.

   "Guide? Are you?" Xiao Yao felt relieved, with a funny expression on his face, "How old are you? Do you have a tour guide license?"

"No. I'm only eighteen. I'm a high school student. I'm still in school. I can't test the tour guide license." The girl shook her head and took out a small notebook from her body. "Although I don't have a tour guide license, I grew up. I grew up here. I know Huanglong very well."

   Xiao Yao glanced at the little book in the girl's hand. From the cover, it was indeed the student ID of a certain middle school.

   "Yan'er, I asked you to wait for me to ask, why are you not obedient, or you came here alone?" Before Xiao Yao answered, another call came from beside him.

   Xiao Yao turned his head and saw that it was the boss’s wife Aunt Erma who was here.

Aunt Erma yelled to the girl while walking in the distance, and when she walked closer to them, she had already taught the girl and said directly to Xiao Yao: "Mr. Xiao, I'm sorry, I'm bothering you!"

   "It doesn't matter." Xiao Yao smiled and shook his head.

Seeing Xiao Yao’s attitude is better, Aunt Erma continued: “This little girl belongs to our stockade. She has loved running around since she was a child. Huanglong has played many times in Huanglong and is very familiar with it. She is still reading. In high school, I wanted to take advantage of the summer vacation to work and earn some money to subsidize the family, so I decided to let her be a private tour guide. I think you are carrying such a big travel backpack, unlike ordinary tourists who follow a tour group. My fellow traveller, I guessed you might need a local tour guide, so I called her over. I originally planned to wait for you to come back and I brought her over to ask you. Who knew she would just see the light in your room I ran here first."

   "It turned out to be like this." Xiao Yao nodded, still noncommittal.

"If you ask me to be a tour guide, I promise that I won't cheat you, I will only show you where the scenery is good, and I won't take you to any store for you to buy things." The girl saw that Xiao Yao didn't say anything. I started to fight for it again, "Huanglong Scenic Area does not count the ropeway ticket price for two hundred, and my day’s guide fee is only more than one hundred. I can take you in from other places, so you don’t have to buy tickets, you pay for it. It can save dozens of dollars, which is more cost-effective!"

   "Oh?" Now Xiao Yao is interested. I don't care about the dozens of dollars, but entering the scenic spot from other places and taking a tour route that no one else has traveled is very attractive to Xiao Yao.

"Go in from another place, is there some scenery on the road that others can't see or rarely see?" Xiao Yao said, realizing that he was still blocking the two people at the door, and simply opened the door to the two. The person made a gesture of inviting in and said, "Can you come in and tell me in detail."

   "Let Yan'er go in and tell you, I'll go back to the front first." Seeing Xiao Yao seemed very interested, Aunt Erma waved her hand happily, turned and left.

   "Okay!" The girl was also generous. She walked into Xiao Yao's room with a smile, and sat down on the chair in the room without waiting for Xiao Yao to greet her.

   Xiao Yao concealed the door of the room, sat on a chair opposite the girl, smiled and asked, "Can you really take me into Huanglonggou from other places?"

"Of course!" the girl said enthusiastically: "The gate and entrance of Huanglong Scenic Area are in the southwest, but I know there is a hidden path to the northwest. Local people don't know much about this road. You don’t know the location. You’ll know when I take you there tomorrow."

   "The locals don't know much, how did you know?" Xiao Yao asked curiously.

The girl triumphantly said: "Didn’t Aunt Erma say that I loved to run around when I was young? That road was when I wanted to go to Huanglonggou when I was young, but I didn’t have the money to buy a ticket. I found it. I only told a few of my good friends, most of them didn't know."

   "It turned out to be a wild boy!" Xiao Yao smiled, took a bottle of water on the table and handed it over, then asked, "How small is that trail? Can an off-road vehicle drive in?"

"Huh! You look a few years older than me!" After Xiao Yao said that she was a wild child, the girl wrinkled her nose in dissatisfaction, but she still took the water from Xiao Yao and replied. "If a car can't get in, you can only walk in. And even if a car can get in, I won't let you drive in. The scenic spot attaches great importance to environmental protection, and the tour buses inside are powered by electricity, and tourists are not allowed to drive in by themselves. I may be able to help you avoid the fare, but I can't let you pollute the environment of Huanglonggou."

   "Well, don't drive, walk in." Xiao Yao smiled and nodded.

Although I really want to say that the impact of a car on the environment is almost negligible, but seeing this little girl attaches so much importance to the environment, anyway, the car can't get in, and it's not that she doesn't have the physical strength to walk, Xiao Yao just said this. Swallowed back.

   "Wait, you mean you came by car? If you have a car, aren't you rich?" The girl thought of something.

   "I rented the car." Xiao Yao touched his nose and smiled.

  Because the road at the entrance of the homestay is relatively narrow, it is not very convenient for parking, so Xiao Yao did not drive the car back to the door of the homestay after going out to eat at night. Instead, he left it directly at the door of the restaurant in the town and walked back. The girl arrived after Xiaoyao drove out to eat. She didn't see a car at the door. She thought that Xiaoyao came by bus like most tourists.

"Then you are also rich!" The girl pointed to Xiao Yao's SLR camera and ultra-thin laptop on the bed. "I heard people say that this kind of big camera is very expensive, and this kind of Thin laptops are also very expensive, and those who can afford these must be the rich."

"Well, I admit that I am a rich man!" Xiao Yao looked at her fingers and said with a smile, "Are you going to increase the price? By the way, you just said that your guide fee per day is more than one hundred. How many hundred is it?"

   "One hundred and three." The girl said, and emphasized, "My usual day's guide fee is this price. I didn't deliberately increase the price because you have money and overreport it!"

   "Okay, I can accept this price." Xiao Yao nodded.

  "But I’m surprised that since you are a rich person, you are not short of money, why do you want to evade fares?" The girl asked curiously, "Does the richer the more stingy?"

   "Cough~" Xiao Yao, who was drinking water, took a sip, and said helplessly, "I didn't say that I was evading the fare. I just don't want to go to crowded places. I want to take a different path from others."

   "Oh." The girl nodded suddenly.

   "By the way, if you go in from that road, is there anything different on the road," Xiao Yao asked again, "I mean different scenery?"

"Yes!" The girl took a sip of the water offered by Xiao Yao, and then said enthusiastically, "Huanglong Scenic Area is mainly for watching water. The most famous one is Wucai Pond, but the most beautiful one in Huanglonggou The place is not Wucaichi. On our path to Wucaichi, we can see pools on the way. The water inside is more colorful than Wucaichi, and it looks more beautiful than Wucaichi, just because the area is smaller than Wucaichi. , The place is relatively hidden, so it has not been discovered by people in the scenic area."

  "Is that outside the scope of tour?" Xiao Yao said happily, "I like it!"

  "Is that a deal?" The girl also said happily, "Did you ask me to be a tour guide?"

   "Of course!" Xiao Yao smiled and nodded, "I won't ask you to lead the way. I can't find a place more beautiful than Wucai Chi."

   "Well, what time are you leaving tomorrow? I'll come to pick you up!" the girl said immediately.

   "What time do you think is more appropriate?" Xiao Yao pointed to the SLR camera on the bed and said, "I walk fast, but maybe I spend more time taking pictures on the road."

   "If you want to take a picture, of course the sooner the better." The girl said, "How about eight o'clock? Can you afford it?"

   "Yes." Xiao Yao nodded, "Do you have a cell phone? Do you want to leave a call? It's summer vacation, I'm afraid you won't get up so early."

"Okay." The girl said, "I will live with my relatives in town tonight. Aunt Erma knows it. If I'm late tomorrow, you can ask Aunt Erma to call me at my relative's house. But stay. It doesn’t matter if you or your friend comes to Huanglong to play in the future, you can find me again."

"Okay!" Taking out the phone, Xiao Yao suddenly remembered something, and asked with a serious face, "By the way, do you know me?" It's quite normal that Aunt Erma doesn't know herself, this high school Don't know yourself at birth?

   "I have read Aunt Erma's register and I know your name is Xiao Zhixing, what's the matter?" The girl said with a dazed expression.

   "Well, it seems that this little girl really doesn't know herself. It turns out that she is not as famous as she thinks it is!" Looking at the girl's expression, Xiao Yao laughed at himself, feeling hurt.

"Nothing," Xiao Yao waved his hand, and looked at the girl with curiosity, "Not many people know the path you took me down. You are a little girl, you dare to be a stranger alone. Go to the ravine with the boys? Don’t you worry about safety?"

"Don't think I am a girl. The average boy in the stockade may not be able to beat me." The girl raised her fist triumphantly and said confidently, "This is my place, ditch. I am more familiar than you here, even if I can't beat you, you can't catch me if you want to run!"

   "Then you won't throw me halfway, will you? You took me on a road that no one else knew. What if I get lost?" Xiao Yao deliberately said with a worried expression.

   "I have to ask you to collect the money," the girl rolled her eyes and said, "If I throw you away halfway, who should I ask for the tour guide fee?"

   "Then you mean to pay you when you finish playing tomorrow?" Xiao Yao asked.

"Of course," the girl nodded, "how can anyone collect money before taking you there. What if you throw you away halfway as you said? I am a private tour guide and there is no travel company to find ."

   "Then you are not afraid that I will run away without giving you money after I come out?" Xiao Yao continued to tease her, "I have a car. After playing, I jump in the car and run. What do you do?"

"Try it!" The girl snorted, and said disdainfully, "You don't want to see where this is. This girl treats guests with integrity. If you don't kill you, it's pretty good. Dare to rely on this girl's account. Can your car get out of this town!"

   "Well, I dare not!" Xiao Yao handed her his mobile phone and said, "Leave your phone to me."

  The girl took the phone, entered her phone number to save, and dialed another. When she heard her phone rang, she hung up and returned her phone to Xiao Yao.

   Xiao Yao took the phone and looked at it, and he also knew the name of the girl in front of him--Jiang Yan.

  "I'm going back!" Since the phone number has been exchanged, Jiang Yan stopped staying any longer, got up and said goodbye, "Tomorrow, it will take several miles to go to Huanglonggou. You should rest early. See you tomorrow!"

   "Okay, tomorrow morning at eight o'clock, I am waiting for you!" Xiao Yao got up to see the guest.
